"Now The Sun Is Out"

I’ve been walking down a concrete street I stood on a step with the same to feet as before
If you think you can walk away from love
You’re dreaming about living in a place of your own, a very fast car on a very long road
a smile from you, a hug that leaves no doubt

Now the sun is out and it’s warming up between us
we’ve got to keep the faith so the love can never leave us
sweet lover well you know what I like
don’t stop it cos it’s gonna be alright

we’re not friends if you don’t have time it’s like johnny cash and the ties that bind
if you think yyou’ll never walk the line you’re dreaming
you’re dreaming about running down a tree-lined street, kicking up leaves with the same two feet as before, you don’t wanna be lonely anymore

Now the sun is out and it’s warming up between us
we’ve got to keep the faith so the love can never leave us
sweet lover well you know what I like
don’t stop it cos it’s gonna be alright
it’s gonna be alright
stick with me tonight
it’s gonna be alright

I’ve been walking down a concrete street I stood on a step witht the same to feet as before
If you think you can walk away from love

Now the sun is out and it’s warming up between us
we’ve got to keep the faith so the love can never leave us
sweet lover well you know what I like
don’t stop it cos it’s gonna be alright
it’s gonna be alright
stick with me tonight
it’s gonna be alright

"Save Yourself"

I'm a great explorer; I've been exploring your mind
I found giant rivers, mountain ranges never climbed
I'm a great explorer, and now I'm lost inside your head
I don’t have directions just a heavy load instead
You said you'd save me if I ever got lost
I said well baby

First you save yourself
Then you save the world
But first you save yourself

I'm a great believer in believing in you
But I don't have a compass, no plans for pushing through
I guess I'm pinned down, bad weather’s on the way
I need your shelter now but

First you save yourself
Then you save the world, first you save yourself

You’re such a brilliant pearl
Living in an unforgiving world
And it doesn't help us very much if you throw the line to someone else
First you save yourself….
Then you save the world…

" LIBERTY"

MY FRIEND LIBERTY
SHE REACHES DOWN AND KISSES ME AND I SAY,
COME AGAIN.
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO PULL APART SO I WRAP MY
FINGERS AROUND HER HEART AND NOW I CANNOT LET IT GO,

AND IF IT WORKS I'LL BE AMAZED IF IT LASTS TILL SATURDAY,
SATURDAY, DON'T BE SUPRISED IF I LOOK INTO YOUR
SUNDAY MORNING EYES

MY FRIEND LIBERTY
SHE CHOOSES WORDS AND GIVES TO ME AND I SAY,
BABY COME AGAIN
AND JUST WHEN I'M IN SANITY SHE'LL RE-APPEAR AND RESCUE ME I FALL INTO HER UNDEFEATED HAND

AND IF IT WORKS I'LL BE AMAZED IF IT LASTS TILL SATURDAY,
SATURDAY, DON'T BE SUPRISED IF I LOOK INTO YOUR
SUNDAY MORNING EYES
IF I FALL INTO YOUR SUNDAY MORNING EYES

AND THE THREAD, IT RE-ARRANGES AS THE GENERATION
CHANGES, I CAN HARDLY WALK FOR FEAR OF TREADING
LOSING IS WHAT HURTS ME MOST
IS CONTACT WITH THE LIVING NOT THE GHOSTS...

WITH MY FRIEND LIBERTY
ALL THINGS ARE AS THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
AND I SAY,
COME AGAIN.

"Its Been So Long"

When everything seems hopeless
remember where you're from
if I had to choose you a record, I hope I'd choose your favorite song

It's been so long, Since you were smiling
You've got to let a little bit of it out
Don't be unsure, just take a step,
Don't let yourself get caught up in this desert of doubt,

If you were lying on a golden beach
with a hundred million dollars to ride
would it make any difference at all
to the people you would have at your side

It's been so long, Since you were smiling
You've got to let a little bit of it out
Don't be unsure, just take a step,
Don't let yourself get caught up in this desert of doubt,

and since you don't go out anymore
you've forgotten what the party is for
oh come on angel
sometimes it's good to end up on the floor....

It's been so long, Since you were smiling
You've got to let a little bit of it out
Don't be unsure, just take a step,
Don't let yourself get caught up in this desert of doubt

"Don’t Be The One"

Don’t be the one, who’s down on me down on me
oh baby it’s all around, the frown on me tells you
I’ve had my head stuck in the sand, my feet lifted off the ground
I’ve been kicked back by mud-slingers all over town
So don’t be the one who turns on me baby
when I’m feeling low, it really helps to know that you won’t be the one
who turns on me baby
when I’m on the run, you could be harbouring
resentment won’t help
neither will arguing, I’ve been yelling at robots all day I’m so tired
Don’t be the one who turns on me baby
when I’m feeling low, it really helps to know that you won’t be the one
that turns on me baby, when I’m feeling blue, I’m counting on you to be with me
Don’t turn on me, don’t turn on me
Cos love is the one thing, that stops life from turning to shit
I don’t need a vote to know it’s worth preserving it
take two steps both backwards see how far you end up
Don’t be the one who turns on me baby
when I’m feeling low, it really helps to know that you won’t be the one
who turns on me baby, when I’m feeling blue, I’m counting on you to be with me
Don’t turn on me

"Anyone Can Say Goodbye"

Never before have we opened the door to your heart
and shining a light well it’s really alright it’s not all dark
you were OK right up til today what’s the problem?
what’s the difference now?
whats the change in you?
You can’t go through life, a constant shade of blue

Never before have we slipped the backdoor to your mind
if we bypass the bouncers it’s amazing the truth that we find
what’s the change in you?
what’s so different now
you can’t go through life always wondering how

So sleep tight t
hrough the long night
You can’t live my love life
time says anyone can say goodbye

Everywhere someone is pleading to get someone back
why can’t we move on and baby just leave it at that?
What’s the change in you?
There’s always someone new
Come on just be strong
there’s really nothing wrong

You can live without me
Just as true, I can live without you
Tears dry and soon you forget
what it was, what exactly we said

So sleep tight through the long night
You can’t live my love life
time says anyone can say it
Time says anyone can say it
Time says anyone can say goodbye

So sleep tight through the long night
You can’t live my love life
time proves anyone can say goodbye
Time proves anyone can say it
Time proves anyone can say it
Time proves anyone can say goodbye

"DON'T WAIT ANOTHER DAY"


DECEMBER THE THIRD, THAT'S THE DAY THE ICE THAWED
THAT'S THE DAY THAT I PROVED TO MYSELF THAT PERFECTION IS FLAWED
SHAKEN NOT STIRRED, YOU OUGHT TO POUR ME ONE TOO
COS I'VE GOT THE NEWS, SHE'S STILL GOT A SOFT SPOT FOR YOU
DON'T WAIT ANOTHER DAY, DONT WAIT ANOTHER DAY
SHE MAY NOT COME AGAIN THIS WAY,
ON TO YOUR BIKE, TAKE MY CAR IF YOU NEED IT
TO BE HUMBLE IS RIGHT, I'M BEHIND YOU AND I WISH YOU GODSPEED,BUT I'M TELLING YOU THIS TIME,
DONT WAIT ANOTHER DAY, DONT WAIT ANOTHER DAY
SHE MAY NOT COME AGAIN THIS WAY
DON'T LOSE THE ENERGY
IT'S TWO WEEKS SINCE SHE SPOKE TO ME
HOW TIME CAN SLIP AWAY
START THINKING OF SOMETHING TO SAY, BUT DON'T WAIT ANOTHER DAY
SHE MAY NOT, SHE MAY NOT COME ,SHE MAY NOT COME AGAIN THIS WAY
WELL HE MISSED HER BY A WEEK NOW SHE'S TRAVELLING ON HER OWN, RIGHT ACROSS AMERICA TO ENGLAND THEN AROUND AGAIN AND HOME,
SO DON'T WAIT ANOTHER DAY, DON'T WAIT ANOTHER DAY ,
SHE MAY NOT COME AGAIN THIS WAY
I HATE TO SEE YOU LOSE AGAIN..

"Isabelle"

HERE I AM STUCK ON AN ISLAND AND I COULDN'T CARE LESS
IF YOU CAN'T GET ON WITH EACH OTHER BUT THIS IS A MESS
WELL THERE ARE HOLES IN THE BUILDINGS, AND YOU HIDE BEHIND WALLS, TELL ME HOW MANY DAYS NOW BEFORE THIS CITY FALLS, ISABELLE, OH ISABELLE
HERE THE OCEANS ARE NEAR AND WE'VE GOT FOOD FOR OUR THOUGHTS BUT NOT MUCH TO SPARE
SO TELL ME A STORY, SPELL IT OUT I CAN'T HEAR
WHY YOU WEAR BLACK IN THE MORNING WHY THERE'S SMOKE IN THE AIR,
ISABELLE, OH ISABELLE DO PRAY ,DO PRAY, DO TELL
OH THOSE TEARS ON YOUR CHEEKS JUST LIKE DEJA-VU FLOW NOW, WHEN YOUR GRANDMOTHER SPEAKS, SO TELL ME A STORY, SPELL IT OUT MAKE IT CLEAR, WHY YOU WEAR BLACK IN THE MORNING, WHY THERE'S SMOKE IN THE AIR,
ISABELLE, OH ISABELLE DO PRAY ,DO PRAY, DO TELL
ISABELLE , WELL SHE COMES FROM ZAGREB
COUNT THE HOURS TIL DAWN THEN BRING OUT YOUR DEAD.

"Hold Tight"

Don't let anybody tell you
which way this story grows
cos I've been asking round
I don't think anybody knows, no no
when you're drooping
like a willow over sand
then you realise that you've had love in your hand
and let it go
Hold tight, hold tight ..........
I've got a feeling now that you're gonna be alright
I've got no explanation
and just an amateur approach
but when I see you smile
now there's a line that heaven knows
and your eyes
Hold tight hold tight..........
With everything against you
but a lovers' turning cheek
when your body aches
and your heart's a little weak
c'mon baby
Hold tight, hold tight
I've got a feeling now that you're gonna be alright.

"Maybe Your True Love Lives In Another Town"



Monday you’re just fine, Tuesday there’s no time, Wednesday you’re thinking about home
the love only falls on the people outside and the rest of it falls on it’d own
the shadows are filled with the sad and the ill, you shiver and turn right around
maybe your true love lives in another town

We’re peas in a pod but there’s something that’s odd about being so close and apart
and would you have thrown such a beautiful bone if you’d known I was gone from the start?
The˚ days are too long so we fill them with song we were casting our eyes to the ground
maybe your true love lives in another town

Hey, it’s time to get going, when you think about days, under the wheels they pass
and there’s no way, that you could have known
maybe your true love lives in another town

Baby it’s all you, and baby it’s all me so maybe we never made time
the love only shines on the willing and able
while the rest of it dies on the vine
the shadows are filled with the sad and the ill
you shiver and turn right around
maybe your true love lives in another town

Hey, it’s time to get going, when you think about days, under the wheels they pass
and there’s no way, that you could have known
maybe your true love lives in another town


"Swagger"


If I whisper I want you to shout, if I tell you a secret spread it all about
when I'm laughing, really you should cry, when I'm broken down honest, I want you to lie
Baby I'm pretty well done listening and fooling with your forked tongue
I'm pretty well done,I'm pretty well done, time has dragged just a little bit, change must come
If I swagger I hope you like it straight, when I give it to you, you curl your lip and take, you can make me crumble, you can make me grow but girl when you addicted, the difference is that I'll just let it go
Baby we must be dumb, playing five-hundred when the deal was twenty-one, I'm pretty well stunned by all the things I see, and if I swagger it's cos you're with me, I I swagger it's cos you're good for me
Baby, I was pretty well drunk and all that stuff I said t'you was mostly just junk, if I'm a fool then you're my sanity and if I swagger it's cos you're with me.
