1. They Don't Make Songs (Like They Used To)
What is this world coming to
I heard the old man say
You work every hour that God sends
It get harder every day
Look around you
You will find
Everybody looking for a good time
It's just not like the good old days at all
You might think that I'm getting old
And you might not really care
But if I could be given half a chance
I'd take you back there
They don't make songs like they used to
They don't make songs like they used to do
They don't make songs quite like they used to
No they don't write the good songs anymore
What is this world coming to
I heard my mother say
Even the songs on the radio
Don't sound like the good old days
I like songs with a melody
So every one can sing along
Give me back my 45's anyday
2. Good Times Are Coming Around
Good night, sleep tight
I hope everything turns out all right
Hang on, be strong
The good times are coming along
Dream on, sleep well
Toss a coin down a wishing well
Be good to yourself
Live a little longer
The good times are coming around
Coming around
Don't look so sad
These are the best days we've ever had
Don't live in the past
Think of all the good times
Dream on sleep well
Toss a coin down a wishing well
Be good to yourself
Live a little linger
At first she was a dream to me
I'd never been in love before
I gave her all I had
She wanted more
And now I have surrendered
Our love's buried underground
But I'll be back again my girl
The good times are coming around
Good night sleep tight
I hope everything turns out all right
Hang on be strong
The good times are coming along
Don't look so sad
These are the best days we've ever had
Don't live in the past
Think of all the good times
Hallelujah good times
3. Burning Up My Heart
You took your time to walk into my life
An now you're here beside me
Every hour of every day
My mind echoes with the thought of you
Your smile draws me towards you
And then pulls me away from here
Will you be there in the morning
That's the question that I always fear
You're burning up my heart
Every hour that were apart
You're tearing at my soul
When you're not there to hold
Oh baby can't you see
What you're doing to me
You're burning up my heart
Burning up my heart
Burning up my heart
When you're not there to comfort and hold
My mind echoes with the thought of you
You just reach out and pull us together
And love will pull us together
Our love can only get higher
Like the mountains reaching up from the sea
Whose going to put out the fire
That's the question for you and for me
Your smile draws me towards to you
And then pulls me away from here
Will you be there in the morning
That's the question that I always fear
4. A Well Known Song
Listening to the words of a well known song
Got me thinking about you
Having to spend another night on my own
Got me thinking about living without you
Trying to forget every single regret
Each mistake I was making
Holding on tight
Making love every night
Just to stop my whole body from shaking
I never tried to hide
The way I feel for you
And if I lied to you
The reasons I can now reveal
You deserve the best of everything
Looking at your face
In the picture frame
Just doesn't seem easy
I could open my heart
And make a fresh start
But I'd only be scared that you'd leave me
Trying to pretend
We could stay good friends
Our whole life through
Knowing too well
That in time you could tell
That I wish I never had left you
Do you know
That I'm missing you
Does it show
In everything I do
Did you go
Because I told you too
Do you know
That I'm in love with you
5. Even The Best Guys
I woke up just the other day
To a phone call from a friend of mine
To say I've lost my girl to some other guy
Do you think there's something wrong with me
Cause I ain't as young as I used to be
I've always tried my best
To be equal to the rest
You know I've tried
But I'm so broken up inside
Even the best guys lose their girls
End up alone in this mixed up world
Think about me before you fall in love
Cause even the best guys
Loose their girl
I remember all of those times
She'd swear to me
That she would always be mine
You know I nearly did believe
That maybe she would stay with me
Do you think that it was something I said
That made her take another lover to bed
Well I guess I'll never know
But I'm going to have to let her go
You know I've tried
I'm so broken up inside
You know I've tried
But I'm so broken up inside
Even the best guys lose their girls
End up alone in this mixed up world
Think about me before you fall in love
Cause even the best guys, even the best guys
Even the best guys lose their girls
6. I Wish I was At Home
I've been travelling all around Europe
Seems like I've been gone for years
I've been playing guitar in hundreds of bars
Met so many people out here
My companion he plays the piano
And he sings me the nicest of songs
And he'll tell me just how much he's missing his girl
And how much he's missing his son
But somehow he fees his life has just begun
Well tomorrow were heading for Denmark
Then on Friday we go to Berlin
And we'll spend the weekend maybe making
New friends
And playing that "Loving Feeling"
I just can't stop thinking about my family
And Lord I wonder what their doing now
And if only you knew just how much I miss you
But that's one thing my thoughts won't allow
How I wish that you were here with me now
Could you send me my Dad in a letter
Could you make sure my girl is alright
Could you give my regards to my Mum
And my Brother
I wish I was at home tonight
So another night draws to an end
And a brand new day has begun
So I lay down my head
On this cheap hotel bed
And sleep once my thoughts have all gone
I just can't stop thinking about my family
And Lord I wonder what their doing now
And if only you knew just how much I miss you
Well that's on thing my thoughts won't allow
How I wish that you were here with me now
7. Swing Your Bag
Another Saturday night
I'm sitting here at home
Ain't got nobody
I'm all alone
Sometimes it seems
Like there's no-one to love me
No more
Oh oh oh
So I put on some jeans
And I head off down town
To look for some fun
But there's none to be found
Sometimes it seems
Like there's no one to party
No more
Oh oh oh
Maybe I'm getting old
But I'm not getting grey
Brighten up your life
In that old familiar way
(What you going to do)
You've got to swing your bag
(Swing your bag baby)
Let your hair hang down
(Swing it swing it)
Always look behind
Before touching your toes
You've got to swing your bag
(Swing your bag baby)
Right around your head
(Swing it swing it)
Whenever your life
Is becoming a drag
Swing you bag
So if watching the box
Becomes top of the bill
Get some insurance
Maybe make out your will
You only live once
But it's never too late
You can even swing your bag
Up at those pearly gates
Maybe I'm getting old
But I'm not going grey
Brighten up your life
In that old familiar way
(What you going to do)
8. Steppin Out
So many days go by
Spend too many nights alone
It's just a matter of time
Till I quit being on my own
I've started counting the days
Before I see you again
But every day that goes by
Just brings a need to pretend
I'm steppin out
Ain't going to be on my own no more
I've done my time
Loving down the telephone line
I'm steppin out
I'm going back to the early days
Cause after all that I've been through
I've had it with you
You know that every weekend
Takes too long coming around
So what's the use in pretending
That our destiny's been found
You just take all that you can
Don't give me nothing in return
But I won't give any more
Cause now the table's been turned
You've just been staying out late
Knowing too well I won't
Interrogate you
9. If Time Was On Our Side
It started off
A bitter tale
And ended up as reason beyond all doubt
The ship had taken sail
When the tide was out
So we try to look for reasons
But the case became more complicated
Our love is not out of season
In any case
I can't show face around here anymore
And if time was on our side
If time was on our side
Would you leave here tomorrow
If time was on our side
I remember how you told me
The expression on your face
Just said it all
Will you reach out and hold me
Or just watch me fall
Right through it all
There are something's that will never change
But will you ever come back home
Because all that now remains
Is a single stone
And no ring
From a disconnected telephone
10. Sad Eyed Girl
You've got riches by the score
You've got lovers knocking down your door
But you've been lonely for so long
To me you will always be
My sad eyed girl
Sad eyed girl
Don't walk away
Sad eyed girl
You know what they'll say
You're just my sad eyed girl
And I need you here tonight
Sad eyed girl
I want you here to stay
You filled oceans with your tears
Eclipse the sunshine with your fear
Leave behind you all that's in the past
And then you'll see
My sad eyed girl
Walk with me for a while
Share the secrets of your smile
Start a new life
Lets start it today
There's only one thing
I've got to say
11. Pieces Of Rock 'N' Roll
I remember singing lips on Mars
Before the were turned into ice-cream bars
As Mr Ben disappeared behind his curtain
Back then lady luck was on everybody's side
And every day was taken in my stride
And all I knew well I was never quite certain
Give me a song that goes sha la la la
With the story of a broken heart
I don't want house
You'll only rap on my door
I need a song that goes sho be do wap
With the story of a girl whose life's been broken
Up into pieces of Rock 'n' Roll
Songs brought to us via radio shows
We would listen to critics
With their views about pros
But the sing along songs
Were written again and again
Through the years came the genius
And the business high flyer
And the few basic cords
To give us Mull of Kintyre
The simplest remedies go to the top of our
Chart as if by magic
Goodbye Mister
Thanks for the time
I'd like to say that the pleasures been all mine
And would you like a cigar sir
He said I'm sorry Mister Musician
I'm sorry Mister high risk alien
But its more than my job for what its worth
But there's no use telling me that I'm wrong
Because whatever you say
I'm going to keep on singing you
The same old song
Rock 'n' Roll
Sho be do wap
Sha la la la
Sho be do wap
Rock 'n' Roll
12. Pray Tonight For Yourself
Johnny was a religious man
A wife and kid right by his side
He had a home he could call his own
Down by the riverside
Johnny met some other girl
She'd been a friend of the family
And when his love began to stray
His wife just walked away
He said understand why it's all so wrong
One day love's here the next it's gone
He thought God would understand
Johnny was a religious man
Pray tonight for yourself
It's too easy to blame somebody else
Pray tonight for yourself
It' never too late
Johnny was a broken man
A wife and kids in some other place
His life was empty, his love had gone
A tear ran down his face
But Johnny was a peaceful man
To close his eyes was the easy part
His wife had married another man
And he died of a broken heart
Johnny died of a broken heart
13. Loosely Called It Love
The initial kiss
To a single tear
The good and the bad times from so many years
Send the kids to school
Of course they didn't hear them leave
They were too busy arguing
About where he'd been all night
They loosely called it love
Take a walk to work
Right across regents park
He's leaving all his worries behind
To return after dark
Can you picture the scene
You read it in every magazine
They were too busy arguing
Don't it make you want to scream
And they can't find time
To say I'm sorry
And to say that I love you
Wouldn't be too easy for me
Didn't find it so easy
After their wedding day
All the freedom was gone
But nobody took it away
The kids come home from school
Of course they didn't hear the door
They were too busy arguing
I can't take it any more
14. A Well Known Groove
Listening to the words of a well known song
Got me thinking about you
Having to spend another night on my own
Got me thinking about living without you
Trying to forget every single regret
Each mistake I was making
Holding on tight
Making love every night
Just to stop my whole body from shaking
I never tried to hide
The way I feel for you
And if I lied to you
The reason I can now reveal
You deserve the best of everything
Looking at your face
In the picture frame
Just doesn't seem easy
I could open my heart
And make a fresh start
But I'd only be scared that You'd leave me
Trying to pretend
We could stay good friends
Our whole life through
Knowing too well
That in time you could tell
That I wish I had never left you
Do you know
That I'm missing you
Does it show
In everything I do
Did you go
Because I told you too
Do you know
That I'm in love with you
15. Airport Song
Here I am sitting AT the airport
Waiting on a plane
Taking me to New York
Choking on my coffee
As a girl goes past
Only funny things seem to make me laugh
When I came I didn’t know that I’d be
Still here a week next Friday
The plane was late
Cause it’s raining outside
Someone stole the engines
And we’re going to have to glide
But I can’t sit here forever
Cause I want to go home
Never have I felt so bad
Maybe I’ll just take a cab
Cause I think I’m going mad
Went to the bar to buy myself a beer
Met up with a guy
Who’d arrived last year
Bought myself a whisky
And lit a cigarette
Said the more you seem to drink
Well the easier it gets
So I guess I’m trying to tell you
That if you’re going to fly
Get a set of wings
And kiss your arse goodbye
When you pack your case
Better pack yourself a bed
Cause if you had a wish
You’d be wishing you were dead

No confusion in my mind

No one to blame
Don't make a fool out of me
Don't have me wish my life away
Don't make a fool out of me
Don't have me wish my life away
No No No No.........
No confusion in my mind
I should be with you
So many pieces, too
Much frustration
Don't make a fool out of me
Don't have me wish my life away
Don't make a fool out of me
Don't have me wish my life away
Don't have me wish my life away
Don't have me wish my life away
Don't have me wish my life away
Don't have me wish my life away
Don't have me wish my life away (To End)
2. SARAH
Sarah, sweet Sarah, hold me so close to you
Reach out, no reason needed
You're the one for me, Sarah
You're the one for me
Like a dream come true, so beautiful
I will be with you forever
And if the nights grow cold, I'll be there for you
Please don't make me wait
People surround me, offers of sympathy
I just want to be left alone
Sarah, sweet Sarah, hold me so close to you
Take in all I say, listen carefully
Words I want you to remember
And if the nights grow cold, I'll be there for you
Please don't make me wait
People don't make me wait
People surround me, offers of sympathy
I just want to be left alone
Sarah, I'll miss you
I don't regret all that we shared together
Everything I need, given to me
3. ANOTHER DAY
Some things disappear inside,
Should I try to run away
If I could I would escape you
I won't argue anymore, I have lost the will to be
Hope you don't think I'm ungrateful?
Why, why are you laughing?
Is it something that I said?
I don't like this place at all,
makes me wonder what I'm here for
Someone take this pain away
Dying to see another day
And I don't want to be your friend,
or pretend I can fit into
I'm incensed, I'm blown away
Dying to see another day
Close th curtains lock the door,
left my note upon the stair
In the hope you woudn't read it
Fake emotions in my head,
everything I've seen and read
Can't begin to find the reason
I don't like this place at all,
makes me wonder what I'm here for
Someone take this pain away
Dying to see another day
And I don't want to be your friend,
or pretend I can fit into
I'm incensed, I'm blown away
Dying to see another day
4. HEY HEY
Hey, hey the pain won't go away
It looks like your worst nightmare's here and here to stay
Uh huh, year, yeah
Oh God the son you were so proud of
Wastes away until there's nothing left to think of
Uh huh, yeah, yeah
Cannot trust in you, cannot hold on to you now
Crying out don't you touch me, I wish you would go
I'm fine now don't you touch me, I need to be alone
So cold young man feeling old
Look me in the eye I'm losing all control
Uh huh, yeah, yeah
Cannot trust in you, cannot hold on to you now
Crying out don't you touch me, I wish you would go
I'm fine now don't you touch me, I need to be alone
I'm dying now don't you touch me, I don't need you here
For Christsake don't you touch me, yeah, yeah, yeah
I can't sleep I've fallen in too deep
Time to think about the drug that tastes so sweet
I lay low, it's best if they don't know
Pretending nothing's there just watch your garden grow
You a friend don't make me laugh, what we had was in the past
I can't live for yesterday
When I needed you the most flesh and blood became the ghost
Give so much to take away
Reaching out to touch your soul, don't feel young and look so old
Just a number on the wall, lowest number of them all
Every day seems like the last, finding strength to touch your thoughts
Need to feel my every word
Going on and on and on
On and on and on
5. MILLIONAIRHEAD
From inside there was nothing and from the outside looking in it was worse
Words that meant nothing to no-one echoed across
And the light never shines on the real thing
And the hope is that nothing has changed
For a moment I almost believed him
For a moment I almost believed him
Money couldn't buy it
Your money didn't make it work
Millionairhead! Millionairhead!
It was always a short-term thing, the foundations to be built on wee flawed
But it doesn't really matter, not to us
And the light never shines on the real thing
And the hope is that nothing has changed
For a moment I almost believed him
For a moment I almost believed him
Money couldn't buy it
Your money didn't make it work
Millionairhead! Millionairhead! Millionairhead!
I almost believed you
Money couldn't buy it
Your money didn't make it work
Millionairhead! Millionairhead! Millionairhead! Millionairhead! Millionairhead! Millionairhead! Millionairhead! Millionairhead!
6. SHOOT THE MOON
It's you to blame again, it seems like anger is your only friend
And as the darkness falls in tonight
You watch the shadows crawl across the window to your door
It doesn't open anymore
Like some indictment on your life
You're never wrong, but never right
Do you know what you fear, does the morning make it clear
Does it make you feel better when you're walking away
Will anybody listen to a word
As you lie looking at the ceiling
It's that old sentimental feeling
Starting over again, starting over again
Just like travelling the wrong way on a one way street
You'll never be quite sure, whose promises you'll meet
Falling up the wrong road, falling up the wrong road
Do you know what you feel, does the morning make it clear
Does it make you feel better when you're walking away
Will anybody listen to a word
Soot the moon, shoot the moon
This must be part of someone else's plan
Someone show me the answer
Just take me off of this winding road, winding road
Shoot the moon, shoot the moon, shoot the moon,
Do you know what you feel
Will the morning make it clear
Does it make you feel better when you're walking away
Will anybody listen to a word
7. YOUNG ONES
No time to break the fall, we run before we crawl
No pill will ease your mind
Just a little bit would make a difference
No words can describe just how much, does it take
To make sense of it, before the young ones grow old
And all wave goodbye
They've taken down the wall, so the young ones can taste freedom
And the others have a reason to live
You kill me with your lies
Just a little bit would make a difference
No words can describe just how much, does it take
To make sense of it, before the young ones grow old
And all wave goodbye, all wave goodbye
There's no where to run to, I can't get inside
Your tortured mind
Is wasting away
Just a little bit, just a little bit would make a difference
No words can describe just how much, does it take
To make sense of it, before the young ones grow old
And all wave goodbye, all wave goodbye, all wave goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
All wave goodbye, goodbye
8. NO PLACE FOR A LOSER
You walk out on me, don't expect me to come running
I won't disagree if you'd like to take the blame
I won't be there for you, I just don't feel the need
You leave me empty
Stay young, live for a reason
There's no place for a loser here
Your naked remark means nothing to me now
All faith in yourself seems it's gone to find a friend
I won't be there for you, I just don't feel the need
You leave me empty
Stay young live for a reason
There's no place for a loser here
The same song, sung with no feeling at all
And all the losers gather round
Watch the world come crashing down around them
There's no place for the chosen few
Who knows it all but rarely do astound me, surround me
And all the losers gather round
Watch the world come crashing down around them
They see things in different ways
Watch them spend their final days surrounded, astounded
9. SPACE ODDITY
[org.David Bowie]
Ground control to Major Tom
Ground control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on.
Ground control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may Gods love be with you...
(Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five,
Four, three, two, one, liftoff...)
This is ground control to Major Tom
Youve really made the grade!
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear.
Now its time to leave the capsule if you dare
This is Major Tom to Ground Control;
Im stepping through the door
And Im floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today..
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can,
Far above the World
Planet Earth is blue,
And theres nothing I can do
Though Im past one hundred thousand miles
Im feeling very still,
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell me wife I love her very much she knows
Ground control to major tom
Your circuits dead, theres something wrong
Can you hear me, major tom?
Can you hear me, major tom?
Can you hear me, major tom?
Can you....
Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet earth is blue
And theres nothing I can do...
10. I HEAR YOU CALLING
Watch your friends all pass you by
You've got 25 reasons to live, every one is a lie
Now you're looking everywhere for comfort
The worse it gets, the harder you try
I hear you calling me again, it's alright, it's alright
Like a brother or a friend, you're depending on
As you're screaming in your sleep, is the needle in too deep
It's alright, it's not alright
You're a stranger in your home
A good for nothing, know it all
Don't you know we've seen it all before
The sadness of it all, you are the cure
I hear you calling me again, it's alright, it's alright
Like a brother or a friend, you're depending on
As you're screaming in your sleep
Is the needle in too deep
It's alright, it's not alright
Now you're looking everywhere for comfort
The worse it gets the harder you try
I hear you calling me again, it's alright, it's alright
Like a brother or a friend you're depending on
As you're screaming in your sleep, is the needle in too deep
It's alright, it's not alright
It's alright, it's not alright
11. GYPSY
God is my witness I can feel you
There! Before my very eyes, a vision to me
Don't put out this fire
It's burning for me, burning for you
Stand within the sunlight, press against me
Take me back to other times, different days
Love I do surrender, it belongs to
Belongs to me, belongs to me
Lay down on me, naked gypsy
Watching you bathe in water
False childhood lies, fear in your eyes
Give me a son and daughter
There is nothing I can't see in my mind
A picture of you painted, so vividly
Blood runs through my fingers
And in through
Through my light, through my darkness
Lay down on me, naked gypsy
Watching you bathe in water
False childhood lies, fear in your eyes
Give me a son and daughter
Wish I could, wish I could see you
Lay down on me, naked gypsy
Watching you bathe in water
False childhood lies, fear in your eyes
Give me a son and daughter
Lay down on me, naked gypsy
Watching you bathe in water
False childhood lies, fear in your eyes
Give me a son and daughter
Son and daughter
12. GHOST
I'm a young man on the edge, with his head held in his hands
A look of desperation touching the fingers he hides behind
I lost my head and made a mess, showing signs of faithlessness
Having other people laughing at you is hard to take
You have all I have to give
You break me into many pieces
I was just beginning to forget
In my mind I've tried, can't make sense of what it is
Wishing one day you could understand
Everything takes time
The thoughts I have, won't leave me
You say you've heard it all before
You sit there like a wall I have to break through
Some drug I didn't take to
You have all I have to give
You break me into many pieces
I was just beginning to forget
Should I feel anger, should I be patient
Do I belong here, do you have the answers
How long can I hold on
Do I belong, where do I belong
You have all I have to give
You break me into many pieces
I was just beginning to forget
Don't laugh
Don't make me
I was just beginning to forget
You have all I have to give
You break me into many pieces
I was just beginning to forge
13. DARK
Where were you when I needed you?
The fear that I would call out to despite - You
Lying staring at my feelings across some sacred crowd
An endless search for anger, this silence is too loud
Do I have no strength?
Oh Oh - There's a long way to go
Oh Oh - A long way
From the black of night my darkness fades to grey
Like the ramblings of a fool
There was nothing I could say
My spirit it was broken, my body it was weak
the truth comes from a liar, whose promises I keep
i promise to keep them
Oh Oh - There's a long way to go
Oh Oh - A long way
There's a lonely place I fear, I can taste it it's so near
I feel it surround me, I think that's it's here
I think that it's here, I know that it's here
Like an endless search for truth, nothing left to hold on to
Here alone it gets so dark, so dark - Oh Oh
She came to me like a hurricane crashing through the trees
Lifted me like a fires dancing embers in the night
My spirit it was broken my body it was weak
Do I have no strength?
14. ADOLESCENT BREAKDOWN
See the sign in my eyes. Mind escaping from me
On the crest of my wave too dark to see
And the soreness that I feel beneath the surface
Fear the worst is still to come
Threatening words come my way in some strange disguises
Flesh torn gestures in my face
Don't take my place away
I could try to forgive
Even though I don't know what should be forgiven
Do I go crazy, before you take notice
Until you can see it in me?
Drift away touch upon the deepest emotion
As I watch you'll become, someone else's problem
Given time I'll make waves in another ocean
I'm the chosen one
Do I go crazy, before you take notice
Until you can see it in me, why can't you see it in me?
I adoore you. I deplore you
All your actions I can see through
I can't pretend I know what's going on
Do I go razy. before you take notice
Until you can see it in me, why can't you see it in me?
15. REASON FOR RUNNING
God I wish it was yesterday
It was so much easier yesterday
Cause today's the day I found out
When I'm frightened I run away
Hope I get there some day
To escape the fear I live with
Wish they'd see things my way
I always get in the way
Yeah Yeah
You're the reason I'm running
You're the reason I'm running away
God I wish it was yesterday
It was so much easier yesterday
Cause today's the day I found out
When I'm frightened I run away
Hope I get there some day
To escape the fear I live with
Wish they'd see things my way
I always get in the way
Yeah Yeah
You're the reason I'm running
You're the reason I'm running
You're the reason I'm running away
Wish they'd see things my way
I always get in the way
Yeah Yeah
You're the reason I'm running
You're the reason I'm running
You're the reason I'm running away
You're the reason I'm running away -

1. CALLING ALL STATIONS
Can anybody tell me, tell me exactly where I am
I've lost all sense of direction
Watching the darkness closing around me
Feel the cold all through my body
That's why I'm calling all stations
In the hope that someone hears me
A single lonely voice
I feel the sensation disappearing
There's a tingling in my arms
And there's a numbness in my hands
All the broken promises
All my good intentions don't add up to very much
And I realise whatever happened, whatever happened
I remember all the moments that I've wasted in my life
All the things I was always gonna do
Why is it now when it's too late
That I've finally realised it's important to me
To think that everything that's dear to me and is always in my heart
Could so easily be taken and it's tearing me apart
Going over and over in my mind
I relive it one second at a time
Calling all stations
Can anybody tell me, tell me exactly where I am
How different things look when your all on your own
Watching the darkness closing all around me, all around me
And I'm lost with feeling of your arms to remind me
Of everything that's dear to me and is always in my heart
Could so easily be taken and it's tearing me apart
Going over and over in my mind
I relive it one second at a time
Don't you know there's never been a moment
When I haven't had the thought
That everything that's dear to me and is always in my heart
Could so easily be taken and it's tearing me apart
Going over and over in my mind
I relive it one second at a time
As I sit here in the darkness feeling so alone
And everything that's dear to me and is always in my heart
Could so easily be taken and it's tearing me apart
Going over and over in my mind
I relive it one second at a time
2. CONGO
You say that I put chains on you
But I don't think that's really true
But if you want to be free from me
You gotta lose me in another world
Send me to the Congo I'm free to leave
There's always somewhere anybody can lead
Send me to the Congo you have to believe
You can do it if you wanna just do what you please
Like a soldier ant
I will wait for the signal to act
To take a walk right through the door
If you don't want me here any more
Send me to the Congo I'm free to leave
There's always somewhere anybody can lead
Send me to the Congo you have to believe
You can do it if you wanna just do what you please
Into my heart you came
And gave a whole new meaning to my life
Into my world you brought a light
I thought it never would go out
Send me to the Congo I'm free to leave
There's always somewhere anybody can lead
Send me to the Congo you have to believe
You can do it if you wanna just do what you please
You can send me to the Congo I'm free to leave
There's always somewhere anybody can lead
Yes you can send me to the Congo, you have to believe
You can do it if you wanna just do what you please
I would never be the one to say you had no reason
To want me somewhere else far far away
But someday you may understand, someday you will see
That someone who would die for you is all I've ever been
Congo the Congo, if that's how it's got to be
Congo the Congo, if that's what you want from me
I would never be the one to say you had no reason
To want me somewhere else far far away
Someday you may understand someday you will see...
3. SHIPWRECKED
I'm a million miles from anywhere, where can I be
Somewhere out on the ocean
Just take a look at the horizon, what can you see
There's nothing there for me
I feel shipwrecked, I might as well be shipwrecked
I'm helpless and alone, drifting out to sea
I can't believe what you said to me
Even standing on the corner of a busy city street
I still feel so lonely
Why do you say you want to be with me
But the next day say you don't
I'm shipwrecked, I might as well be shipwrecked
I'm helpless and alone drifting out to sea
I can't believe what you said to me
Without you i feel shipwrecked
But I can't let it show
A million miles away from anywhere
Is it my imagination
Or is it getting darker, are the waves getting higher
I'm a million miles from anywhere
A million miles from anything I know
You know that's why I'm shipwrecked
I might as well be shipwrecked
I'm helpless and alone drifting out to sea
I can't believe what you said to me
You know that's why I'm shipwrecked, shipwrecked
Losing my direction
Please come and rescue me
Shipwrecked, Shipwrecked, Shipwrecked
4. ALIEN AFTERNOON
Woke up in the morning, staggered out of bed
Thought about getting back again, but went downstairs instead
Read the daily paper, have to know the truth
Slammed the door as I ran outside
Looked at my watch and cried
Gotta get to work on time
Gotta get to work on time
Then the sky turned to deeper blue
Not a cloud as the sun shone through
But all around rain kept falling to the ground
The wind was blowing but the trees didn't make a sound
Just another alien afternoon
Just another alien afternoon
Time that I was leaving while there's still a chance
Before I start believing in what I see or hear
Nothing here to keep me, nothing anywhere
Gotta get out, pack my bags before I go insane
Gotta get away in time
Gotta get away in time
Then the sky turned from blue to green
Took on colours I have never seen
Then a sound started ringing in my ears
I heard voices but in truth there's nobody there
Just another alien afternoon
Just another alien afternoon
To be there, back where I belong
To feel again, the wind upon my face
To see again, all that I took for granted
All that I had
And everything I knew
Never want to go wandering
Never leaving the world behind
There was never a reason to leave my heart and my home behind
Where I was born is where I should be now
I should never be lonely
I would never be sad again
I wanted to go anywhere
I wanted to see how strange it could be
Nothing would ever take me away again
Never want to go wandering
Never leaving the world behind
No, no, no, no
Nothing will ever take me away again, away again
No, no, no, no
5. NOT ABOUT US
Alittle piece of something
Falling gently down down down
No one understands you like I do
I'd rather be beside you
Everything we know so well
Tell me what you feel now
Show me what you think of it
It's not about us anymore
It's all about the reasons
That we think we're fighting for
It's not about hate
It's not about pain we always feel
I know we have our problems
But we're not the only ones
It's not about you, it's not about me
It's not about anger
It's more about the loneliness we feel
How can I begin to
Ask for some forgiveness
For all that we have taken
There's nothing left now
Just a little piece of something
Falling gently down down down
No one understands you no no
Like I do
There's nothing left now
It's not about us anymore
It's all about the reasons
That we think we're fighting for
It's not about hate
It's not about pain we always feel
I know we have our problems
But we're not the only ones
It's not about you, it's not about me
It's not about anger
It's more about the loneliness we feel
It's not about us
It's not about hate
It's more about the loneliness we feel
It's not about anger
It's not about wanting
I know we have our problems
But we're not the only ones
6. IF THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED
Talking makes us human
That's what I was told
So why do I find it so difficult
To let my feelings unfold
Had I the courage to tell you
I promise you this
If that's what you need
I'll be the river, I'll be the mountain, always beside you
If that's what you need
I will be stronger, I will be braver than ever before
And when you came along and turned it all around
I promised myself I wouldn't tell you
Until we stood on solid ground
Holding the candle between us, I'll tell you this
If that's what you need
I'll be the river, I'll be the mountain, always beside you
If that's what you need
I will be stronger, I will be braver than ever before
And if there's any kind of danger
I hear you calling out my name
You can follow in my footsteps
And I will lead you safely back again
I never understood you
However hard I tried
But it took me a while until I realised
That all the problems were mine
Holding you nearer to me to tell you this
If that's what you need
I'll be the river, I'll be the mountain, always beside you
If that's what you need
I will be stronger, I will be braver than ever before
And when things go wrong
I'll be your conscience there to remind you all of your life
And when you go wrong...
7. THE DIVIDING LINE
There’s always been a dividing line
But you chosse, you choose, yes you choose not to see it
And then you wonder why you fall
It cuts through the heart of every city
If you climb to the top of the highest building
You can see where it falls ’cause the streetlights stop
The colours start to change
You hear a voice inside you
Not the words that you wanted to hear
Not the things that you wanted to see
In the comfort and safety of your own home
Remember those outside in the cold
And the wind and the rain
And take in your hands a little ray of light
And turn it into a beam that pierces the darkness of the night
There’s always been a dividing line
But you chosse, you choose, yes you choose not to see it
And then you wonder why you fall
It cuts through the heart of every city
If you climb to the top of the highest building
You can see where it falls ’cause the streetlights stop
The colours start to change
You hear a voice inside you
Not the words that you wanted to hear
Not the things that you wanted to see
When everything that you hold dear to you
Has finally faded away from your life
And the last cold ray of sunshine slowly disappears
And leaves you alone
When darkness covers the city and the streets are silent, too
What will you turn to
8. UNCERTAIN WEATHER
A day of uncertain weather
Captured in a frame forever
A face in a faded photograph
He must have had a life
Maybe with a family
And people who meant everything to him
A sinner, a saint, a soldier
Caught up in a war he never
Had a chance to start or build a life
All gone long ago
Leaving no trace
Disappearing like smoke in the wind
To become just a face without a name
Leaving no trace
Disappearing like smoke in the wind
Hopes and fears important plans
Forgotten memories
Footsteps fading in the sand
Schemes and dreams small and grand
Nothing left to see
Footsteps fading in the sand
Someone who cast a shadow
Maybe just a lazy man
Doesn't make much difference now it's true
A day of uncertain weather
Captured in a frame forever
A face in a faded photograph
All gone long ago
Leaving no trace
Disappearing like smoke in the wind
To become just a face without a name
One more to add to the total
Of those never heard of again
Yes, he's gone - just a face without a name
Leaving no trace - disappearing like smoke in the wind
9. SMALL TALK
Don't talk back to me, don't talk back to me
Don't talk back to me, don't talk
Going round in circles, hearing too many points of view
Just words to tire me out, small talk I could do without
I would be amazed if you returned to see things my way
Now that you've been disrespectful to my sense of pride
Isn't it a shame that you were lying when you said to me
I was the only one, you and I were meant to be
I expect you'll never really feel the way that I do
All of this is with regret, I'm sure you will agree
Say something to me, anything at all
I want you to mean what you say
I've seen all I want to see, and you mean the world to me
I've lived for each moment to be, with you, with you, with you
Small talk, small talk, small talk, small talk
You say I don't talk enough, that applies to both of us
Don't try to sound me out, something I could do without
So much goes on inside your head, I often wonder
Have you heard enough to know, there's nothing left to say
Say something to me, anything at all
I want you to mean what you say
I've seen all I want to see, and you mean the world to me
I've lived for each moment to be, with you, with you
With you
Small talk, small talk, small talk
It's all I ever hear
Small talk
It may take some time
But it'll be alright
10. THERE MUST BE SOME OTHER WAY
You're no longer part of my life
I must remind myself again
Too much has happened to us to cause each other pain
It's over now, there's too much guilt we share
Once there would have been a time for talking and learning
There must be some other way
To get where we have to go
There must be some other way
Please show me another way
Once it would have been so easy to do what we have to do
There must be some other way
Please show me another way
Are we no more than parts in a play
Letting other people, strangers say our lines ?
To think it should come to this after all these years
What was mine and what should stay behind
Once there would have been a time of sharing, of caring
There must be some other way
To get where we have to go
There must be some other way
Please show me another way
Once it would have been so easy to do what we have to do
There must be some other way
Please show me another way
There's nothing much left to say
We have said it once and said it all again
This time we have gone too far, it could never be the same
It's time to carry on create new lives
Once we promised we would stay together forever
There must be some other way
To get where we have to go
There must be some other way
Please show me another way
Once it would have been so easy to do what we have to do
There must be some other way
Please show me another way
11 .ONE MAN'S FOOL
As the buildings crumble, tumble to the ground
And the dust-filled smoke rises in the air
You know that somebody somewhere looks with pride, they're
satisfied
To all who think they know
To everyone that knows that they're right
D'you ever wonder why
D'you never ask the question even in the depths of night
Now as the daylight fading ends another day
For too many life will never be the same
And it is all for a reason they will never understand
To all who think they know
To everyone that knows that they're right
D'you ever wonder why
D'you never ask the question even in the depths of night
And on the morning after do you realise
See the ruined faces and the ruined lives
Inside your head do you never have the thought a moment of doubt
?
To all who think they know
To everyone that knows that they're right
D'you ever wonder why
D'you never ask the question even in the depths of night
There are only dreams one like any other
What means the earth to one or few means nothing to another
There are only dreams like any other
drawing lines upon the sand, on the land, on the sea
Then dying to defend them seems quite meaningless to me
But don't you know what means the earth to some or only one
Can mean just nothing nothing nothing to another
There are only dreams like any other
There are only differences, worth living but not dying for
One man's joy makes another man weep
Nothing you can do is ever gonna change it
One man's saint is another man's fool
One man's hot is another man's cool
And when the war is over, won
Will there be peace for evermore ?
Statues carved right out of stone, out of wood, made from gold
Praying for their mercy that won't save your soul
Don't you know what means the earth to some or only one
Can mean just nothing nothing nothing to another
There are only dreams like any other
There are only hopes and beliefs one like any other
Worth living but not dying for
Living but not dying for not killing for
There are only dreams like any other like any other
To all of those who think that they know
All I can say yes all I can say
One man's joy makes another man weep
Nothing you can do is ever gonna change it
One man's saint is another man's fool
One man's hot is another man's cool -

INTRO
GOODBYE BABY BLUE
She arrived so unexpectedly, with a thousands untold truths
Hidden in behind her smile, you couldn't see through
And all those frown lines on her forehead
Disappeared before my eyes
She told me I'd arrived, just in time
And you could see it in her face
There was more than meets the eye
Something hidden all those years and hidden deep inside
So Goodbye Baby Blue
Goodbye Baby Blue
I spent so long thinking of you
She would lie awake, every night I'd heard her cry
Her mind in slow decay, I guess she couldn't take goodbye
So Goodbye Baby Blue
Goodbye Baby Blue
I spent so long thinking of you
So Goodbye Baby Blue
Goodbye Baby Blue
It' been so long, I'm thinking of you
I'm thinking of you
CHANGE
Making the most of it
Turning a light up and
Breaking the back of a
Killing the negative
Finding the faith isn't
As much as I'd like it to be
Follow the path set by
Somebody else's hand
Craving addiction and
Living in fear of me
But I don't think that I can chane
I've been feeling this way for so long now
And this feeling inside still remains
I aint gonna change
Aint gonna change
Bent on destruction I
Have no intention
Black into day into
Dark into Night I go
Blaming myself like I
I'm in control of it
I Turn it around for a
Just for the fun of it
Back to the start I go
I Wish I had learned from you
But I don't think that I can chane
I've been feeling this way for so long now
And this feeling inside still remains
I aint gonna change
Aint gonna change
ALONG THE WAY
Yes I found heaven and I can take you there
And I found a reason but you don't care
So turn your back don't look round
Close your eyes make no sound are you leaving?
Close the door like before turn around
Are you sure that you mean it?
And you can take another step along the way
Just keep your eyes on the road that lies before you
Take advice from a fool who chose to ignore you
And choose the side of the fence that you sit
And just keep crossing that bridge
Take it or leave it, the decision is yours now
Is it time to get even or time to just go now?
But as you're breaking free you mean nothing to me just a memory
And the memories will fade just like tides drift away to the sea
Keep your eyes on the road that lies before you
Take advice from a fool who chose to ignore you
And choose the side of the fence that you sit
Just believe in it now
And walk away from the world you don't fit
And just keep crossing that bridge
Yes I found Heaven
słowa: Steve Wilson
YESTERDAY
Don't talk to me
It's time to walk away and make it easy
Cause i can't see clear
And the further away you go,
the more I want you near
I Wish It Was Yesterday
How I Wish it was yesterday
I can't erase,
I've been thinking about you every day
Place faith in me
I just find this all so hard to believe
I wish it was yesterday
Cause you'd be in my life again
I just wish it was yesterday,
Putting wrongs to right again
I wish it was yesterday
Today is oly just
another day without
We watched the sun go down
Stayed out in the rain
We'd talk all night
And dream all day
And why I wish it was yesterday? ...
That's why I wish it was yesterday ...
Another Day Without
BEACH
Lets all go down to the beach
Breathe in the air, take in the sun
Lie there trying not to notice
What goes on around you
Buried and unseen
I know it wasn't done on purpose
It rests beneath the surface
Hidden from your view
Lets all stroll into the sea
Washing away the memories
Try to stop yourself from drowning
All the fears surrounding
Everyone you meet
They know
They don't know I think so
Heaven waits an answer
Prayers are seldom heard
I know it wasn't done on purpose
It rests beneath the surface
Hidden from your view
They know
They don't know I think so
Heaven waits an answer
Prayers are seldom heard
CRY IF YOU WANT TO
Just when I was getting over you
You appeared from out of nowhere
A little older and wiser but I'm at pains to believe in you
i can't imagine you'd remember me
You never did spend much time thinking about me
And time will nor erase
Oh that memory, it won't erase the memory
Cry if you want to and don't cry if you don't want to
You can cry if you want to
And don't cry if you don't want to cry
You seem a little heavy round the eyes
Another line or two on that ageing forehead of yours
But you know just what to do, to reel me in
You always throw me back again
Cry if you want to and don't cry if you don't want to
You can cry if you want to
And don't cry if you don't want to
You can cry if you want to
And don't cry if you don't want to cry
I blame me - I should have known much better than this
Cause inside I believe only for you
Cry if you want to don't cry if you don't want to
Can cry if you want to and don't cry if you don't want to
You can cry if you want to
And don't cry if you don't want to
Cry if you want to and don't cry if you don't want to
Cry if you want to don't cry if you don't want to
BEAUTIFUL CHILD
It was faith that brought me here
Conversation of the year
You talked so much but nothing said
Empty words just fil my head
I can't lie but I could try
You're beautiful
Beautiful
A beautiful child
Little by little you fade away
I'm just living for the next day
With that in mind, I say goodbye
To beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful child
So as I'm trying to understand
Just move in to the next man
I can't lie but I could try
You're beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
A beautiful child
Nan Na Na na na na na
You're beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
A beautiful child
Nan Na Na na na na na
Shut Up
SHE FADES AWAY
She says the feelings won't slip away, yeah
And says, she never never felt them anyway
She stares out of the window the world just walks on by
The faces she won't meet, she won't even try
And she fades away, She fades away, just fades away
Like a smile upon her face, disappears without a trace
She fades away
She lies there in the darkness
The moon lights up her face, yeah
Her breath steams up the window, her smile seems out of place
Strange how she feels just fine, can't feel the pain this time
She lets the moment pass
And it seem so far away but the memory's here to stay
In the bottom of her glass and she fades away
She fades away, just fades away
Like a smile upon her face, disappears without a trace
She fades away
She says she's hoping that her time will never come
Turn and face it or to turn around and run
She lies there thinking has the moment passed her by
But never thinks to ask the reason why
And she fades away
She fades away, just fades away
Like a smile upon her face, disappears without a trace
She fades away ... she fades away ... just fades away

She said I like the way you smile at me
Always makes me feel so young
And that's the difference
Between you and all the other ones
She kept a note of all the things he said
In a diary hidden under her bed
And every now and then she'd sleep with it
Held in her hand, pretend he was there
And that's all that she believes in
Lives her life pretending one day
He'll come home again
Don't think she'll ever lose that feeling
Until the day
Until there's nothing left in front of you
Until there's nothing left that you can do
Until regret remains the parting view
Forget it
She said I like the way you smile at me
I just know that I should hold on
And that's the difference between
Me and all the other ones
And that's all that she believes in
Lives her life pretending one day
He'll come home again
Don't think she'll ever lose that feeling
Until the day
Until there's nothing left in front of you
Until there's nothing left that you can do
Until regret remains the parting view
Forget it
Until there's nothing left in front of you
Until there's nothing left that you can do
Until regret remains the parting view
Forget it
ANOTHER DAY
Some things disappear inside,
Should I try to run away
If I could I would escape you
I won't argue anymore, I have lost the will to be
Hope you don't think I'm ungrateful?
Why, why are you laughing?
Is it something that I said?
I don't like this place at all,
makes me wonder what I'm here for
Someone take this pain away
Dying to see another day
And I don't want to be your friend,
or pretend I can fit into
I'm incensed, I'm blown away
Dying to see another day
Close th curtains lock the door,
left my note upon the stair
In the hope you woudn't read it
Fake emotions in my head,
everything I've seen and read
Can't begin to find the reason
I don't like this place at all,
makes me wonder what I'm here for
Someone take this pain away
Dying to see another day
And I don't want to be your friend,
or pretend I can fit into
I'm incensed, I'm blown away
Dying to see another day
THE LAST HORIZON
[utwór instrumentalny]
GOURANGA
Sister I'm depending on your strength to help me through it all
And foresight to make sure I find my way
Colours paint the photograph the picture isn't always black
For deep within I know I'm flying high
Oh li la li la li
Substance is what makes me strong
and blind faith helps me carry on
Without it I can only even dream
Bewildered now I find myself though clearly I can see a wealth
Of wisdom that lives deep within my soul
Te sun shines into the garden
It helps the seeds to grow
Rain in June, makes it much stronger
When rain turns into snow
And I'm bored to hell with all this negative
It makes me want to shout it out
Dont' forget, don't even try to
Help the feelings grow
I feel alive the passion never dies
There never can be failure which only goes to show
Gouranga
Te sun shines into the garden
It helps the seeds to grow
I'm still alive the passion never dies
There never can be failure which only goes to show
DARK
Where were you when I needed you?
The fear that I would call out to despite - You
Lying staring at my feelings across some sacred crowd
An endless search for anger, this silence is too loud
Do I have no strength?
Oh Oh - There's a long way to go
Oh Oh - A long way
From the black of night my darkness fades to grey
Like the ramblings of a fool
There was nothing I could say
My spirit it was broken, my body it was weak
the truth comes from a liar, whose promises I keep
i promise to keep them
Oh Oh - There's a long way to go
Oh Oh - A long way
There's a lonely place I fear, I can taste it it's so near
I feel it surround me, I think that's it's here
I think that it's here, I know that it's here
Like an endless search for truth, nothing left to hold on to
Here alone it gets so dark, so dark - Oh Oh
She came to me like a hurricane crashing through the trees
Lifted me like a fires dancing embers in the night
My spirit it was broken my body it was weak
Do I have no strength?
słowa: Steve Wilson
COOL WATER
Must I be forced to remember?
You aren't meant for me
Oh how I tried, but it wasn't to be
I'm so alone
Fate to me is recognised
The nights are spent alone
Cool Cool Water
Cool Cool Cool Water
It takes me back
I thought it was gone
You teased me
You held me close
The pain in my life goes unrecognised
Nights are spent alone
Cool cool Water
Cool cruel cruel water
Cruel cruel Water
Cool cruel water
Stay - The dawn of time
Close - Love - Hold
Me - Love - Me
Watch the garden catch the sun
Cool cool Water
Cool cruel cruel water
Cruel cruel Water
Cool cruel water -

1. IN THE AIR TONIGHT
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment, all my life, Oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Well I remember, I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget, it's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show; but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you or me
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight
2. INSIDE
Swing low
In a dark glass hour
You turn and cower
See it turn to dust
Move on a sone dark night
We take to fight
Snowfall turns to rust
Seam in a fusing mine
Like a nursing rhyme
Fat man start to fall
Long year in a hostile place
I hear your face start to call
And if you think
That I've been loosing my way
That's because I'm slightly blinded
And if you think
That I don't make too much sense
That's because
I'm broken minded
Don't keep it ...
Inside
If you believe it
Don't keep it all inside
Strong words
In a ganges sky
I have to lie
Shadows move in Paris
Ring out from a bruised postcard
In the shooting yard
Looking through the tears
Out of the black slate time
We move in line
But never reach an end
Fall in a long stray town
As the ice comes round
River starts to bend
And if you think
That I've been loosing my way
That's because I'm slightly blinded
And if you think
That I don't make too much sense
That's because
I'm broken minded
Don't keep it ...
Inside
If you believe it
Don't keep it all inside
3. REST IN PEACE
Each night I taste the silence
of the words in my throat
Each day we hide in laughter
when they turn round and float
Do you lie back and thing of England
as they shout in your face
stand up and give them flowers
mary full of grace
Temper's out of control again
there's an itch in my soul again
If I scratch it I will rest in peace
Each day I'm in the future
of a net curtained past
each day I'm out of pocket
time didn't last
Each night I wake up smoking
and my eyes start to sting
wish I could keep them open
when the trees start to sing
Temper's out of control again
there's an itch in my soul again
If I scratch it I will rest in peace
Each night I taste the silence
of the words in my throat
each day we hide in laughter
when they turn round and float
Temper's out of control again
there's an itch in my soul again
If I scratch it I will rest in peace
If I scratch it I will rest in peace
Rest in peace
4. SHIPWRECKED
I'm a million miles from anywhere, where can I be
Somewhere out on the ocean
Just take a look at the horizon, what can you see
There's nothing there for me
I feel shipwrecked, I might as well be shipwrecked
I'm helpless and alone, drifting out to sea
I can't believe what you said to me
Even standing on the corner of a busy city street
I still feel so lonely
Why do you say you want to be with me
But the next day say you don't
I'm shipwrecked, I might as well be shipwrecked
I'm helpless and alone drifting out to sea
I can't believe what you said to me
Without you i feel shipwrecked
But I can't let it show
A million miles away from anywhere
Is it my imagination
Or is it getting darker, are the waves getting higher
I'm a million miles from anywhere
A million miles from anything I know
You know that's why I'm shipwrecked
I might as well be shipwrecked
I'm helpless and alone drifting out to sea
I can't believe what you said to me
You know that's why I'm shipwrecked, shipwrecked
Losing my direction
Please come and rescue me
Shipwrecked, Shipwrecked, Shipwrecked
5. NOT ABOUT US
Alittle piece of something
Falling gently down down down
No one understands you like I do
I'd rather be beside you
Everything we know so well
Tell me what you feel now
Show me what you think of it
It's not about us anymore
It's all about the reasons
That we think we're fighting for
It's not about hate
It's not about pain we always feel
I know we have our problems
But we're not the only ones
It's not about you, it's not about me
It's not about anger
It's more about the loneliness we feel
How can I begin to
Ask for some forgiveness
For all that we have taken
There's nothing left now
Just a little piece of something
Falling gently down down down
No one understands you no no
Like I do
There's nothing left now
It's not about us anymore
It's all about the reasons
That we think we're fighting for
It's not about hate
It's not about pain we always feel
I know we have our problems
But we're not the only ones
It's not about you, it's not about me
It's not about anger
It's more about the loneliness we feel
It's not about us
It's not about hate
It's more about the loneliness we feel
It's not about anger
It's not about wanting
I know we have our problems
But we're not the only ones
6. ANOTHER DAY
Some things disappear inside,
Should I try to run away
If I could I would escape you
I won't argue anymore, I have lost the will to be
Hope you don't think I'm ungrateful?
Why, why are you laughing?
Is it something that I said?
I don't like this place at all,
makes me wonder what I'm here for
Someone take this pain away
Dying to see another day
And I don't want to be your friend,
or pretend I can fit into
I'm incensed, I'm blown away
Dying to see another day
Close th curtains lock the door,
left my note upon the stair
In the hope you woudn't read it
Fake emotions in my head,
everything I've seen and read
Can't begin to find the reason
I don't like this place at all,
makes me wonder what I'm here for
Someone take this pain away
Dying to see another day
And I don't want to be your friend,
or pretend I can fit into
I'm incensed, I'm blown away
Dying to see another day
7. SARAH
Sarah, sweet Sarah, hold me so close to you
Reach out, no reason needed
You're the one for me, Sarah
You're the one for me
Like a dream come true, so beautiful
I will be with you forever
And if the nights grow cold, I'll be there for you
Please don't make me wait
People surround me, offers of sympathy
I just want to be left alone
Sarah, sweet Sarah, hold me so close to you
Take in all I say, listen carefully
Words I want you to remember
And if the nights grow cold, I'll be there for you
Please don't make me wait
People don't make me wait
People surround me, offers of sympathy
I just want to be left alone
Sarah, I'll miss you
I don't regret all that we shared together
Everything I need, given to me
8. GYPSY
God is my witness I can feel you
There! Before my very eyes, a vision to me
Don't put out this fire
It's burning for me, burning for you
Stand within the sunlight, press against me
Take me back to other times, different days
Love I do surrender, it belongs to
Belongs to me, belongs to me
Lay down on me, naked gypsy
Watching you bathe in water
False childhood lies, fear in your eyes
Give me a son and daughter
There is nothing I can't see in my mind
A picture of you painted, so vividly
Blood runs through my fingers
And in through
Through my light, through my darkness
Lay down on me, naked gypsy
Watching you bathe in water
False childhood lies, fear in your eyes
Give me a son and daughter
Wish I could, wish I could see you
Lay down on me, naked gypsy
Watching you bathe in water
False childhood lies, fear in your eyes
Give me a son and daughter
Lay down on me, naked gypsy
Watching you bathe in water
False childhood lies, fear in your eyes
Give me a son and daughter
Son and daughter
9. SWING YOUR BAG
[org.Guaranteed Pure]
Another Saturday night
I'm sitting here at home
Ain't got nobody
I'm all alone
Sometimes it seems
Like there's no-one to love me
No more
Oh oh oh
So I put on some jeans
And I head off down town
To look for some fun
But there's none to be found
Sometimes it seems
Like there's no one to party
No more
Oh oh oh
Maybe I'm getting old
But I'm not getting grey
Brighten up your life
In that old familiar way
(What you going to do)
You've got to swing your bag
(Swing your bag baby)
Let your hair hang down
(Swing it swing it)
Always look behind
Before touching your toes
You've got to swing your bag
(Swing your bag baby)
Right around your head
(Swing it swing it)
Whenever your life
Is becoming a drag
Swing you bag
So if watching the box
Becomes top of the bill
Get some insurance
Maybe make out your will
You only live once
But it's never too late
You can even swing your bag
Up at those pearly gates
Maybe I'm getting old
But I'm not going grey
Brighten up your life
In that old familiar way
(What you going to do)
10. ALWAYS IN MY HEART
[ + Amanda Lyon]
When I wake you’re holding me
Like a child to its father
I can feel the real love I could love no other
In your eyes I see innocence
You’re so beautifully naive
To me you are so beautiful I could never leave
You’re always in my heart
However far apart we may be
Always in my heart
And my life you could share with me
Always stay with me
I can’t stand to see you’re crying
It just breaks me up inside
Takes a hold of my devotion
And waves goodbye
We might not grow old together
We will never be apart
I guess some things will never change
You’re always in my heart
You’re always in my heart
However far apart we may be
Always in my heart
And my life you could share with me
Always stay with me
Stay with me
11. LOVER'S LEAP
[org.Genesis]
Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television off
Sitting beside you, I look into your eyes
As the sound of motor cars fades in the night time
I swear I saw your face change, it didn't seem quite right
...And it's hello babe with your guardian eyes so blue
Hey my baby don't you know our love is true
Coming closer with our eyes, a distance falls around our bodies
Out in the garden, the moon seems very bright
Six saintly shrouded men move across the lawn slowly
The seventh walks in front with a cross held high in hand
...And it's hey babe your supper's waiting for you
Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true
I've been so far from here
Far from your warm arms
It's good to feel you again
It's been a long long time. Hasn't it?
12. CARPET CRAWLERS
[org. Genesis]
There is lambswool under my naked feet
The wool is soft and warm
Gives off some kind of heat
A salamander scurries into flame to be destroyed.
Imaginary creatures are trapped in birth on celluloid
The fleas cling to the golden fleece
Hoping theyll find peace
Each thought and gesture are caught in celluloid.
Theres no hiding in my memory
Theres no room to void
The crawlers cover the floor in the red ochre corridor
For my second sight of people, theyve more lifeblood than before
Theyre moving. Theyre moving in time to a heavy wooden door
Where the needles eye is winking, closing in on the poor
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
Weve got to get in to get out
Weve got to get in to get out
Theres only one direction in the faces that I see
Its upward to the ceiling, where the chambers said to be
Like the forest fight for sunlight, that takes root in every tree
They are pulled up by the magnet, believing that theyre free
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
Weve got to get in to get out
Weve got to get in to get out.
Mild mannered supermen are held in kryptonite
And the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies glowing bright
Through a door a harvest feast is lit by candlight
Its the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
Weve got to get in to get out
Weve got to get in to get out.
The porcelain mannikin with shattered skin fears attack
The eager pack lift up their pitchers- the carry all they lack
The liquid has congealed, which has seeped out through the crack
And the tickler takes his stickleback
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
Weve got to get in to get out
Weve got to get in to get out.
13. BIKO
[org. Peter Gabriel]
September '77
Port Elizabeth weather fine
It was business as usual
In police room 619
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead
When I try to sleep at night
I can only dream in red
The outside world is black and white
With only one colour dead
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead
You can blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead
And the eyes of the world are
watching now
watching now
14. MAMA
[org.Genesis]
I can't see you mama
But I can hardly wait
Oh to touch and to feel you mama
Oh I just can't keep away
In the heat and the steam of the city
Oh its got me running and I just can't brake
So say you'll help me mama
'Cause its getting so hard - oh
Now I can't keep you mama
But I know you're always there
You listen, you teach me mama
And I know inside you care
So get down, down here beside me
Oh you ain't going nowhere
No I won't hurt you mama
But its getting so hard - oh
Ha ha, ha ha ha ha, ha ha, argh
Ha ha, ha ha ha ha, ha ha, argh
Can't you see me here mama
Mama mama mama please
Can't you feel my heart
Can't you feel my heart
Can't you feel my heart oh
Now listen to me mama
Mama mama
You're taking away my last chance
Don't take it away
Can't you feel my heart?
Ha ha, ha ha ha, ha, argh
It's hot, too hot for me mama
But I can hardly wait
My eyes they're burning mama
And I can feel my body shake
Don't stop, don't stop me mama
Oh make the pain, make it go away - hey
No I won't hurt you mama
But its getting so hard - oh
Now I can't see you mama
But I know you're always there
You taunt, you tease me mama
But I never never can keep away
It's the heat and the steam of the city
Oh got me running and I just can't brake
So stay don't leave me mama
'Cause its getting so hard - oh
Don't go no no, don't go
No no no, don't go...
15. FOREVER YOUNG
[org. Bob Dylan]
May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
16. DESPERADO
[org. The Eagles]
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late
17. BORN TO RUN
[org. Bruce Springsteen]
In the day we sweat it out on the streets
of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory
in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on Highway 9
Chrome wheeled fuel injected
And stepping out over the line
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap it' a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
'Cause tramps like us baby we were born to run
Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
And strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop baby we'll never go back
Will you walk with me out on the wire
'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta find out how it feels
I want to know if your love is wild
Girl I want to know if love is real
Beyond the Palace hemi-powered
drones scream down the boulevard
The girls all comb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss
The highway's jammed with broken heroes
On a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight
But there's no place left to hide
Together Wendy we'll live with the sadness
I'll love you will all the madness in my soul
Someday girl I don't know when we're gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go
And we'll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us
Baby we were born to run
18. AIRPORT SONG
Here I am sitting AT the airport
Waiting on a plane
Taking me to New York
Choking on my coffee
As a girl goes past
Only funny things seem to make me laugh
When I came I didn’t know that I’d be
Still here a week next Friday
The plane was late
Cause it’s raining outside
Someone stole the engines
And we’re going to have to glide
But I can’t sit here forever
Cause I want to go home
Never have I felt so bad
Maybe I’ll just take a cab
Cause I think I’m going mad
Went to the bar to buy myself a beer
Met up with a guy
Who’d arrived last year
Bought myself a whisky
And lit a cigarette
Said the more you seem to drink
Well the easier it gets
So I guess I’m trying to tell you
That if you’re going to fly
Get a set of wings
And kiss your arse goodbye
When you pack your case
Better pack yourself a bed
Cause if you had a wish
You’d be wishing you were dead
La la la
