Fear

Image
Morning smiles Like the face of a newborn child Innocent unknowing Winter’s end Promises of a long lost friend Speaks to me of comfort But I fear I have nothing to give I have so much to lose Here in this lonely place Tangled up in our embrace There’s nothing I’d like Better than to fall But I fear I have nothing to give Wind in time Rapes the flower trembling on the vine Nothing yields to shelter it From above They say temptation will destroy our love The never ending hunger But I fear I have nothing to give I have so much to lose Here in this lonely place Tangled up in our embrace There’s nothing I’d like Better than to fall But I fear I have nothing to give I have so much to lose I have nothing to give We have so much to lose.

Losing Touch

Console me in my darkest hour Convince me that the truth is always grey Caress me in your velvet chair Conceal me from the ghost you cast away I ain' in no hurry, you go on And tell your friends I'm losing touch Fill their heads with rumours of impending doom It must be true Console me in my darkest hour And tell me that you always hear my cries I wonder what you got conspired I'm sure it was the consolation prize I ain' in no hurry, you go on And tell your friends I'm losing touch Fill the night with stories, the legend grows Of how you got lost But you made your way back home You sold your soul, like a roamin' vagabond, yeah I heard you found a wishing well In the city Console me in my darkest hour (in my darkest hour) And you throw me down I ain' in no hurry, you go on And tell your friends I'm losing touch Fill your crowd with rumours Impending doom, it must be true But you made your way back home You sold your soul, like a roamin' vagabond And a...

True Faith

I feel so extraordinary Something's got a hold on me I get this feeling I'm in motion A sudden sense of liberty I don't care 'cause I'm not there And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow Again and again I've taken too much Of the things that cost you too much I used to think that the day would never come I'd see the light in the shade of the morning sun My morning sun is the drug that brings me near To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear I used to think that the day would never come That my life would depend on the morning sun When I was a very small boy Very small boys talked to me Now that we've grown up together They're afraid of what they see That's the price that we all pay Our valued destiny comes to nothing I can't tell you where we're going I guess there's just no way of knowing I used to think that the day would never come I'd see the light in the shade of the morning sun My morning s...

Things We Said Today

You say you will love me If I have to go. You'll be thinking of me, Somehow I will know. Someday when I'm lonely, Wishing you weren't so far away, Then I will remember Things we said today. You say you'll be mine, girl, 'Til the end of time. These days such a kind girl Seems so hard to find. Someday when we're dreaming, Deep in love, not a lot to say. Then we will remember Things we said today. Me, I'm just the lucky kind. Love to hear you say that love is luck. And, though we may be blind, Love is here to stay. And that's enough To make you mine, girl, Be the only one. Love me all the time, girl. We'll go on and on. Someday when we're dreaming, Deep in love, not a lot to say. Then we will remember Things we said today. Me, I'm just the lucky kind. Love to hear you say that love is luck. And, though we may be blind, Love is here to stay. And that's enough To make you mine, girl, Be the only one Love me all the time, girl. We'll go on ...

Someone To Watch Over Me

Image
There's a saying old, says that love is blind Still we're often told, "seek and ye shall find" So, I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet He’s the big affair I cannot forget Only man I ever think of with regret I'd like to add his initial to my monogram Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb? There's a somebody I'm longin' to see I hope that he, turns out to be Someone who'll watch over me I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood I know I could, always be good To one who'll watch over me Although he may not be the man some Girls think of as handsome To my heart he carries the key Won't you tell him please to put on some speed Follow my lead, oh, how I need Someone to watch over me There's a somebody I'm longin' to see I hope that he, turns out to be Someone who'll watch over me Won't you tell him please to put on some speed Follow my lead,...

Just Between You And Me

Image
Staring at each other with accusing eyes Keep our voices low, don't act surprised If the word gets out, yeah, that's allright I know you're just looking for some sympathy But listen you don't know how it gets back to me You're getting reckless girl, but that's allright Don't you know that one cold word is going to lead to another and then we'll have nowhere to go? Even if Heaven and Earth collide tonight We'll be all alone in a different light I don't care what the world can't see It's just between you and me I see telltale signs of a love in decline There should be something to say But we don't take the time And I don't understand, but that's allright Now you can turn the page or you can tear me apart Don't make an open book out of my private heart You should know better now, but that's alright Don't you know that one cold word is going to lead to another and then we'll have nowhere ...

We Have All The Time In The World

We have all, the time in the world Time enough for life To unfold All the precious things Love has in store We have all the love in the world If that's all we have You will find We need nothing more Every step of the way Will find us With the cares of the world Far behind us We have all the time in the world Just for love Nothing more Nothing less Only love Every step of the way Will find us With the cares of the world Far behind us Yes We have all the time in the world Just for love Nothing more Nothing less Only love Only love

In Your Eyes

Love I get so lost, sometimes Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart When I want to run away I drive off in my car But whichever way I go I come back to the place you are All my instincts, they return And the grand facade, so soon will burn Without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside In your eyes The light, the heat In your eyes I am complete In your eyes I see the doorway to a thousand churches In your eyes The resolution of all the fruitless searches In your eyes I see the light and the heat In your eyes Oh, I want to be that complete I want to touch the light The heat I see in your eyes Love, I don't like to see so much pain So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away I get so tired of working so hard for our survival I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive And all my instincts, they return And the grand facade, so soon will burn Without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside In your eyes The light, the heat In your eye...

Full Moon

Far away a niche puts itself in deeper space We slip almost unknowing into a deeper darker place Inside my dreams they build business machines Nothing here is ever what it seems In the land of haven't got a clue I'm not to blame for anything I do In the land of couldn't give a fuck You pay your money and leave the rest to luck The man in the moon is watching you And me and everything we do Life on mars, a stairway to the stars Cheap flights, fast food, flash cars Worlds collide, states divide Choose your side, landslides Third rock from the sun, it's only just begun For you and me and everyone I push my head into a deep blue pillow of sound Music's echo of time, resonating 'round Comet trails like horses tails ride in endless night Beyond the coming morning, beyond the coming lights All around us a great big book of wonder The earth we walk, the sky we're under These moments are mine, they belong to to me I bathe in lunar waters, sea of tranquility The man i...

Hold Me Now

I have a picture, pinned to my wall. An image of you and of me and we're laughing and loving it all. Look at our life now, tattered and torn. We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears that we cry until dawn. Hold me now, warm my heart stay with me, let loving start (let loving start). You say I'm a dreamer, we're two of a kind, Both of us searching for some perfect world we know we'll never find. So perhaps I should leave here, yeah yeah, go far away. But you know that theres no where that I'd rather be than with you here today. Hold me now, warm my heart stay with me, let loving start (let loving start). You ask if I love you, well what can I say?. You know that I do and if this is just one of those games that we play, So I'll sing you a new song, please don't cry anymore. and then I'll ask your forgiveness, though I don't know just what I'm asking it for. Hold me now, warm my heart stay with me, let loving start (let loving start).

Blood Of Eden

Image
I caught sight of my reflection I caught it in the window I saw the darkness in my heart I saw the signs of my undoing They had been there from the start And the darkness still has work to do The knotted chord's untying They're heated and they're holy Oh they're sitting there on high So secure with everything they're buying In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man With the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man We wanted the union Oh the union of the woman The woman and the man My grip is surely slipping I think I've lost my hold Yes, I think I've lost my hold I cannot get insurance anymore They don't take credit, only gold Is that a dagger or a crucifix I see You hold so tightly in your hand And all the while the distance grows between you and me I do not understand In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man With the man in the woman And the woman in the man ...

Somebody Like You

There's a new wind blowin' like I've never known. I'm breathin' deeper than I've ever done. And it sure feels good, to finally feel the way I do. I wanna love somebody, Love somebody like you. An' I'm lettin' go of all my lonely yesterdays. I've forgiven myself for the mistakes I've made. Now there's just one thing, the only thing I wanna do, mmm, mmm. I wanna love somebody, Love somebody like you. Yeah, I wanna feel the sunshine, Shinin' down on me and you. When you put your arms around me, You let me know there's nothing in this world I can't do. I used to run in circles goin' no-where fast. I'd take, uh, one step forward end up two steps back. Couldn't walk a straight line even if I wanted to, mmm, mmm. I wanna love somebody, Love somebody like you. Whoa here we go now! Yeah, I wanna feel the sunshine, Shinin' down on me and you. When you put your arms around me, Well, baby there ain't nothing in this wo...

You Give Me Something

You only stay with me in the morning You only hold me when I sleep I was meant to tread the water But now I've gotten in too deep. For every piece of me that wants you Another piece backs away. You give me something That makes me scared alright This could be nothing But I'm willing to give it a try Please give me something Because someday I might know my heart. You only waited up for hours Just to spend a little time alone with me And I can say I've never bought you flowers I can't work out what they mean. I never thought that I'd love someone That was someone else's dream. You give me something That makes me scared alright This could be nothing But I'm willing to give it a try Please give me something Because someday I might call you from my heart. But it might be a second too late And the words that I could never say Are gonna come out anyway. You give me something That makes me scared alright This could be nothing But I'm willing to give it a try Plea...

Running On Empty

Image
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-o-one I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on Running on, running on empty Running on, running blind Running on, running into the sun But I'm running behind Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and I called the road my own I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on Running on, running on empty Running on, running blind Running on, running into the sun But I'm running behind Everyone I know, everywhere I go People need some reason to believe I don't know about anyone but me If it takes all night, that'll be all right If I can get you to smile before I leave Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels I don't know how to tell you all ju...

Bad Things

When you came in the air went out. And every shadow filled up with doubt. I don't know who you think you are, But before the night is through, I wanna do bad things with you. I'm the kind to sit up in his room. Heart sick an' eyes filled up with blue. I don't know what you've done to me, But I know this much is true: I wanna do bad things with you. When you came in the air went out. And all those shadows there filled up with doubt. I don't know who you think you are, But before the night is through, I wanna do bad things with you. I wanna do real bad things with you. Ow, ooh. I don't know what you've done to me, But I know this much is true: I wanna do bad things with you. I wanna do real bad things with you.

Shelter From The Storm

Image
I was in another lifetime one of toil and blood When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud I came in from the wilderness a creature void of form "Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm". And if I pass this way again you can rest assured I'll always do my best for her on that I give my word In a world of steel-eyed death and men who are fighting to be warm "Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm". Not a word was spoke between us there was little risk involved Everything up to that point had been left unresolved Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm "Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm". I was burned out from exhaustion buried in the hail Poisoned in the bushes and blown out on the trail Hunted like a crocodile ravaged in the corn "Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the sto...

Resistance

Use our secret safe tonight and are we out of sight Will our world come tumbling down Will they find our hiding place Is this our last embrace Ohh will the world stop caving in It could be wrong Could be wrong But it should've been right It could be wrong Could be wrong But let our hearts ignite It could be wrong Could be wrong Are we digging a whole It could be wrong Could be wrong This is out of control It could be wrong Could be wrong It can never last It could be wrong Could be wrong Must erase it fast It could be wrong Could be wrong But it could've been right Love is our resistance Keep us a promise they wont stop breaking us down Hold me Our lips must always be schooled If we live our life in fear I'll wait a thousand years Just to see you smile again Kill the press for love in peace You'll wake the far police We can hide the truth inside It could be wrong Could be wrong But it should've been right It could be wrong...

Breakfast At Tiffany's

You say that we've got nothing in common No common ground to start from And we're falling apart You'll say the world has come between us Our lives have come between us But I know you just don't care CHORUS: And I said what about "Breakfast at Tiffany's? She said, "I think I remember the film, And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it." And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got." I see you - the only one who knew me And now your eyes see through me I guess I was wrong So what now? It's plain to see we're over, And I hate when things are over - When so much is left undone CHORUS: And I said what about "Breakfast at Tiffany's? She said, "I think I remember the film, And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it." And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got." You say that we've got nothing in common No common ground to start from And we're falling apart You'...

Everything Counts

Image
The handshake seals the contract From the contract there's no turning back The turning point of a career In Korea being insincere The holiday was fun-packed The contract still intact The grabbing hands grab all they can All for themselves - after all The grabbing hands grab all they can All for themselves - after all It's a competitive world Everything counts in large amounts The graph on the wall Tells the story of it all Picture it now See just how The lies and deceit gained a little More a power Confidence - taken in By a suntan and a grin Everything counts in large amounts.

Love Is All Around

I feel it in my fingers I feel it in my toes Love is all around me And so the feeling grows It's written on the wind It's everywhere I go, oh yes it is So if you really love me Come on and let it show You know I love you I always will My mind's made up By the way that I feel There's no beginning There'll be no end 'Cause on my love You can depend I see your face before me As I lay on my bed I kinda get to thinking Of all the things you said, oh yes I did You gave your promise to me And I gave mine to you I need someone beside me In everything I do, oh yes I do You know I love you I always will My mind's made up By the way that I feel There's no beginning There'll be no end 'Cause on my love You can depend Ooh, it's written in the wind And where I go So if you really love me Come on and let it show Come on and let it show...

Love Actually... Is All Around

Don't Give Up

In this proud land we grew up strong We were wanted all along I was taught to fight, taught to win I never thought I could fail No fight left or so it seems I am a man whose dreams have all deserted I've changed my face, I've changed my name But no one wants you when you lose Don't give up 'cos you have friends Don't give up You're not beaten yet Don't give up I know you can make it good Though I saw it all around Never thought I could be affected Thought that we'd be the last to go It is so strange the way things turn Drove the night toward my home The place that I was born, on the lakeside As daylight broke, I saw the earth The trees had burned down to the ground Don't give up You still have us Don't give up We don't need much of anything Don't give up 'cause somewhere there's a place Where we belong Rest your head You worry too much It's going to be alright When times get rough You can fall back on us Don't give up Plea...

Limelight

I can see the glow of a distant sun I can feel it inside Maybe this day could be the one I can hear the roar of a distant crowd They are waiting for me Calling my name Shouting out loud Holding on isn't always easy I ain't gonna change my mind Limelight you were all I ever wanted Since it all began Limelight shining on me Telling the world who I am Limelight don't let me slip right through your fingers There's a long way to fall After the years of waiting I'm gonna show them all I can see the world in a different light Now it's easy to say Where I went wrong What I did right I can hear the beat of a different drum Take it all in my stride Hold my head high Second to none Holding on wasn't always easy Nothing can change my mind Limelight you were all I ever wanted since it all began Limelight shining on me telling the world who I am Limelight don't let it slip right through your fingers There's a long way to fall After all the years of waiting, I'...

Killing Me Softly

Strumming my pain with his fingers, Singing my life with his words, Killing me softly with his song, killing me softly, With his song telling my whole life With his words, Killing me softly, With his song Yo,put cha hands together for L boogie yah yaey yaey L boogie up in here (u know how we do) One time, One time,(one time) hey yo L you know you got the lyrics I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style, And so I came to see him and listen for a while. And there he was this young bwoy, stranger to my eyes, Strumming my pain with his fingers, (One time,one time) Singing my life with his words, (Two times. two times) Killing me softly with this song, Killing me softly, With his song, telling my whole life, With his words, Killing me softly with his song. I felt all flushed with fever, Embarrassed by the crowd, I felt he found my letters then read each one out loud. I prayed that he would finish, But he just kept right on. Strumming my pain with ...

I'd Be Surprisingly Good for You

[Eva:] Colonel Peron [Peron:] Eva Duarte [Eva and Peron:] I've heard so much about you [Eva and Peron:] I'm amazed, for I'm only an actress (a soldier) Nothing to shout about (One of the thousands) Only a girl on the air (Defending the country he loves) [Eva:] But when you act, the things you do affect us all [Peron:] But when you act, you take us away from the squalor of the real world Are you here on your own? [Eva:] Yes, oh yes [Peron:] So am I, what a fortunate coincidence Maybe you're my reward for my efforts here tonight [Eva:] It seems crazy but you must believe There's nothing calculated, nothing planned Please forgive me if I seem naive I would never want to force your hand But please understand, I'd be good for you I don't always rush in like this Twenty seconds after saying hello Telling strangers I'm too good to miss If I'm wrong I hope you'll tell me so But you really should know, I'd be good for you I'd be surprisingly good ...

Last Night Of The World

In a place that won't let us feel In a life where nothing seems real I have found you I have found you In a world that's moving too fast In a world where nothing can last I will hold you I will hold you Our lives will change when tomorrow comes Tonight our hearts drown the distant drums And we have music all right Tearing the night A song Played on a solo saxophone A crazy sound, a lonely sound A cry that tells us love goes on and on Played on a solo saxophone It's telling me To hold you tight And dance like it's the last night of the world On the other side of the earth There's a place where life still has worth I will take you I'll go with you You won't believe all the things you'll see I know 'cause you'll see them all with me If we're together that's when We'll hear it again A song Played on a solo saxophone A crazy sound, a lonely sound A cry that tells us love goes on and on Played on a solo saxophone It's telling me To hold...

Lips Like Sugar

Image
She floats like a swan Grace on the water Lips like sugar Lips like sugar Just when you think you've caught her She glides across the water She calls for you tonight To share this moonlight She'll flow down your river And ask him and she'll give you Lips like sugar Sugar kisses Lips like sugar Sugar kisses She knows what she knows I know what she's thinking Sugar kisses Sugar kisses Just when you think she's yours She's flown to other shores To laugh at how you break To melt into this lake She'll flow down your river And ask him and she'll give you Lips like sugar Sugar kisses Lips like sugar Sugar kisses She'll be my mirror Reflect what I am A loser and a winner The King of Siam And my Siamese twin She knows what I'm thinking She'll flow down your river And ask him and she'll give you Lips like sugar Sugar kisses Lips like sugar Sugar kisses

You Do Something To Me

You do something to me, something deep inside I'm hanging on the wire for a love I'll never find You do something wonderful then chase it all away Mixing my emotions that throws me back again Hanging on the wire, I'm waiting for the change I'm dancing through the fire, just to catch a flame an' feel real again You do something to me somewhere deep inside I'm hoping to get close to a peace I cannot find Dancing through the fire just to catch a flame Just to get close to, just close enough To tell you that..... You do something to me something deep inside.

Against All Odds

How can I just let you walk away Just let you leave without a trace When I stand here taking Every breath with you, oh You're the only one Who really knew me at all How can you just walk away from me When all I can do is watch you leave? 'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain And even shared the tears You're the only one Who really knew me at all So take a look at me now 'Cause there's just an empty space There's nothing left here to remind me Just the memory of your face So take a look at me now 'Cause there's just an empty space And you coming back to me, is against the odds And that's what I've got to face I wish I could just make you turn around Turn around and see me cry There's so much I need to say to you So many reasons why You're the only one Who really knew me at all So take a look at me now 'Cause there's just an empty space There's nothing left here to remind me Jus...
