The Alupa, Aluva or Alva [1] (4th century to 15th century) were a minor dynasty who ruled parts of coastal Karnataka. They ruled independently the Alvakheda region in the beginning (200 B.C.E to 450C.E). Later with the dominance of Kadambas in Banavasi, they became feudatory to them. With the changing political scenario, soon they became the feudatories to Chalukyas, Hoysalas and Vijayanagara Rayas. Their influence over coastal Karnataka lasted for about 1000 years.There is evidence that the Alupas followed the law of matrilineal inheritance(Aliyasantana) since the Alupa king Soyideva was succeeded by his nephew Kulasekhara Bankideva(Son of Alupa princess Krishnayitayi and Hoysala Veera Ballala III).[2]The legendary king who is credited with introducing matrilineality in Tulu Nadu is named Bhuta Alupa Pandya[3] The name Alva survives as a surname even today among Bunt [4][5] landlords who are Matrilineal [6] The last Alupa king to have ruled is Kulasekharadeva Alupendradeva whose inscription dated 1444 C. E. have been found in Mudabidri [7]
Contents |
Origin[link]
The origin of Alupas prior to the Kadambas is unclear as there are no epigraphical evidences. The rule of other Chutu dynasty was restricted only to Banavasi (whole of Uttara Kannada), and the rule of Sadakanas were confined to Chandravalli region (around 30 km radius). The region of North Karnataka was more under so-called Elephant, Lion, Horse and Bull Maharatis. Again, later Satavahana branch and Later Kuras moved southward to establish only in Banavasi. The region of Dakshina Kannada (modern Udupi and Mangalore district) was free from any such an external influence and appears to have been under the strict control of Alupa kings in the ancient times.
In south India Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu), only three of the local dynasties are known to the history, namely the Sangam-age Cholas, Cheras and the Pandyas. Alupas is the fourth such an unrecorded group that migrated to the coastal region of Mangalore as early as 300 B.C.E and took control of the coastal land stretching from Southern Kasaragod till modern Udupi with Mangalore as the epicenter. The Asoka edict mentions about Satiyaputra, and it is assumed that Alupas are the one who are referred as Satiyaputra. The region of South Canara (Dakshnina Kannada) prior to this dynastic rule is still tagged to the same ruling house though the ruling was more informal and in the evolving stage.
The rule of Uttara Kannada, the Banavasi was under the ruling house of Chutus followed by the Satavahana branch which governed for Siri, Siva, Pulumavi and Yajna Satakarnis, prior to the Kadambas. With the Kadambas rule from Banavasi, Karnataka saw developments in the field of art and culture. Land of Karnataka saw more and more epigraphs that recorded the activities of the past, mostly erected in the temple premises. The first clear mention of Alupas comes from the Halmidi inscription of 450 C.E. where their possible early ruler Pashupathi of Alapa (Alupa) gana is mentioned. Pashupathi was the contemporary of the Kadambas. Hence for historical record, we can safely assume that the dynastic formation of Alupas took place around 5th century C.E. Their royal emblem was the double fish and they claimed to belong to the Pandyavamsha and Soma Kula (lunar).[8] Their coins carried the dynastic title "Sri Pandya Dhananjaya" which means "Arjuna among the Pandyas".
Land[link]
Although Alupas controlled part of Uttara Kannada and Shimoga of Karnataka and northern part of Kerala during the zenith, the core region consisted of the modern Tulunadu which comprises Mangalore and Udupi district (earlier it used to be a single district Dakshina Kannada, also known as South Canara. In the ancient times, the region was referred as Alvakheda and during the later part of the reign, the region was referred as Tulunadu. The term Tulunadu is still practised today while referring to the region.
1. Alvakheda
The term Alvakheda could be seen in several of ancient inscriptions of the Alupas. The region of Alvakheda encompassed the modern Tulunadu and part of Uttara Kannada up to Ankola on the coastal north and Banavasi on the interior west of Uttara Kannada District. Also, the region of Humcha in the Shimoga district, and the land of Kasaragod in Kerala up to the Payasvini river was the bounday in the south. The term Alvakheda is not seen in the inscriptions during the Vijayanagara period, when the region of Barakuru and Mangalore were two separate provinces under the administration of Governors who started controlling the territory without interfering in the autonomy of the Alupas.
2. Tulunadu
The region stretches from Mangalore in the north all the way to Baindoor in the south. On the west is the Arabian sea and on the east is the Western Ghat that fences the land like a fort that formed a heaven for the ruler. More than it, number of rivers that criss crossed near Mangalore, Udyavara and Barkur made this land fertile. The western ghats, the thick forests and the towns along the shoreline of Arabian sea established several sea ports for trade with the Romans and Arabs. Trade routes from with the Romans were well established as early as the 2nd century C.E and with the Arabs around 7th century C.E. The Netravati in Mangalore and Seethanadi in Barakur are the main rivers that run in the capital cities of Alupas. Other rivers such as Suvarnanadi, Shambhavi in Karkala and Mulki, Gurupura river, Pavanje, Nandini and numerous streams all running from east to west. The region of Puttur, Sullia, Belthangady and Puttur, Karkala are the Malnad region and supported as an agricultural backbones of the kingdom and the region of Mangalore, Udupi and Kundapur are the coastal regions that supported more of marine activties though agriculture is the other occupation.
Political History[link]
The history of clan emerges from obscurity during the rise of Badami Chalukya in the Aihole and Mahakuta inscriptions which claims the Alupas had accepted Chalukya overlordship and become their feudatory.[8] They ruled initially from Mangalore and other times from Udyavara in Udupi and later Barkur. Their first regular full length inscription is the Vaddarase inscription in Kannada is dated to early 7th century. They maintained marital relations with their overlords over the centuries.[9]
Alupas rule confined to the modern districts of Udupi, Mangalore and parts of Shimoga and Uttara Kannada districts in the state of Karanataka and part of northern Kerala (Kasaragod district) up to Payashvini river. In the history of India, no other single dynasty has ever ruled for over thousands years. The record that breaks this exception goes to the Alupas who ruled their territory for nearly thousand years. Alupas though originated as a ruler to the coastal region of Karnataka around beginning of the Christian era, it is only around 5th century they made their debut as a dynasty as witnessed in the epigraph of Halmidi. The last ruler's name that we see in the epigraph of Venupura (Moodubidre), belong to the 14th century AD. There are over two hundred stone epigraphs left behind this dynasty and only about one hundred and twenty epigraphs have been read and deciphered so far. The finest record of the early Kannada script is seen in the 7th century AD Copper plate of Belmannu. There is yet another copper plate set of 5 individual plates have surfaced in the beginning of 2007, but no information is known about the ruler, provenance within the district of Udupi or its content.
Alupas put coins into circulation in 8th century AD and continued the tradition till 14th century AD. Their coins carried the dynastic emblem of "Two fishes over a spread Lotus flower, below a royal umbrella". Nearly 180 unique coins have been known so far, of which around 175 coins are published in the book written by Prabhu and Pai. The detailed history, with a proper reference pointers are also seen in the same book.
All their inscriptions are in Kannada and Sanskrit. The earliest known copper plate inscription in Kannada language is attributed to Aluvarasa II, called the Belamannu plates and is dated early 8th century, according to Dr. Gururaj Bhat.[9] This full-length Kannada copper plates in Old Kannada script (early eighth century CE) belongs to the Alupa King Aluvarasa II from Belmannu, Karkala Taluk, Udupi District, and displays the double crested fish, the royal emblem of Alupa kings. The records also refers king with the title Alupendra.
The first known epigraph that talks about the possession of Banavasi Mandala (Banavasi kingdom of Uttara Kannada District) by the Alupas, belongs to the reign of Western Chalukya king Vinayaditya.[10] Te epigraph comes from Jambani of Sagar Taluk, discovered by Dr Gururaj Bhat, mentions about Chitravahana Alupendra in possession of Kadamba mandala. This is in fact the first stone epigraph that points the ruler as a subordinate to Western Chalukya King (8th Century C.E).
Some of the Alupa inscriptions are available in the following URL: http://www.whatisindia.com/inscriptions/south_indian_inscriptions/volume_9/alupas.html

Art and architecture[link]
The Alupas built some fine temples in their area of rule. The Panchalingeshwara temple at Barkur, Brahmalingeshwara temple at Brahamavar, Koteshwara temple at Kotinatha and the Sadashiva temple at Suratkal are attributed to them. They used sculptural styles from their various overlords over the centuries.[9]
1. Sri Rajarajeshwari Temple, Polali
In modern Mangalore District, Polali is one of the oldest temple that has the earliest inscription of the Alupa dynasty, written in 8th century Kannada. The temple is dedicated to Sri Rajarashewari, and Alupa kings enriched this temple during throughout their rule. For more details on Rajarajeswari temple, Please visit the URL: http://www.ourkarnataka.com/temples/polalitemple.htm
2. Sri Manjunatheshwara Temple, Kadri
In modern Mangalore district, Kadri has the other important and old temple that belonged to the era of Alupas. The temple has several finest bronze statues installed by the King Kundavarma, which bears inscriptions of him dated 968 C.E. In the inscription of Lokeshwara statue, king Kundavarma is compared to Arjuna in bravery. For more details on the temple and its history, you may visit the URL: http://www.ourkarnataka.com/states/mangalore/kadrimanjunatheshwara.htm
3. Sri Mahishamardini Temple, Neelavara
In times, Alupas changed their capital from Mangalore to Udyavara, Udyavara to Mangalore and then again to Barkur depending on the political situation and demand. To be in centre to their ruling place, they even shifted their capital to Barakur from where they could look after the vast territory which spread up to Ankola in the North Kanara (Uttara Kannada District). During this period, they patronaged several temples in the surrounding areas of Barakuru (which was their captiral). Neelavara Kshetra is one such a holy place where Mahishasuramardini temple has several Alupa inscriptions of later period.

4. Sri Panchalingeshwara Temple, Vittla
This temple is one of the oldest temple of Alupa territory, built during 7th century AD. The architecture of the temple is inline with that of Sri Ananteshwara temple which is the oldest temple built by the Alupas. The architecture is unique and is an innovation of 7th century. The Brahmins of Sivahalli of Uttara Kannada were attracted during 7th century C.E. by the Alupas and were given Agraharas for imparting Vedic knowledge to the people of Alvakheda. The Alupas built many temples and allowed these Brahmins to take care of it. The legend says that there were hundreds of temples that every day there is a festival in one or other temple of the region. The temple of Vittla Panchalingeshwara is one of the oldest structure which was renovated by the later local dynasties such as Heggades. The latest renovation is being held now, which in fact is a pity to the world of history, which would not want see antiquity to be destroyed to replace with new structure. For details on the temple, one may visit : http://www.vittalpanchalinga.info/index1.html
5. Sri Anantheshwara Temple, Udupi
Diagonally opposite to the main entrance of the Sri Krishna Mutt, and adjacent to the Chandramouleeshwara Temple, stands one of the oldest Alupa temple namely Sri Anantheswara Temple. A old belief is that lighting a lamp at the ancient Anantheshwara Temple takes away evil and sins. It is one of the biggest temple in Udupi. The main idol is Linga, whose adornment makes it to look like a Face of Lord Siva. From a small window on the left, the site where Madhvacharya disappeared is seen. An aerial view from wikimapia shows the Elephant-Back architecture of this temple. Location : http://wikimapia.org/192830
Both Sri Vittla Panchalingeshwara and Sri Udupi Anantheshwara Temple have Elephant-back type curvilinear structure. Another temple of similar architecture is also seen in Aihole Durga temple, appears to be a structure of 7th century C.E. (Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Durga_temple_Aihole.JPG ). So, tagging it to any architectural style is ruled out unless more detailed study or research is done on this topic. The unique noteworthy feature of the architecture of South Canara temples is their roof. Being in a labndscape of highest rainfall, the temple roofs evolved from grass, clay tiles and eventually with the copper-plates.
Coinage[link]
The Alupas as a feudatory of the Western Chalukyas in coastal Karnataka issued coins with Kannada and Nagari inscriptions on them. Coins with Kannada legends seem to have minted in Mangalore and those with Nagari legend at the Udupi mint. Kannada was their language of administration. The Pagodas and Fanams were the common coinage of all the Alupa kings. The obverse of the coins carried the royal emblem "Two Fishes" and the reverse had the legend "Sri Pandya Dhanamjaya" either in Nagari or old (Hale) Kannada.[9]
This paragraph is about the inscription found at Neelavara temple of Udupi district. This is all about the grant in "Gadyana" denomination. The Alupas while ruling from Barakuru showed great interest in the development of temple. This record is of the Alupa ruler Veerapandyadeva, dated 1258 A.D. mentions about his instruction to “neeruvara munnuru” i.e. Neeruvara-300, the modern Neelavara village Assembly. It states that after paying 100 gadyanas (coins)to the palace and 30 gadyanas to Adhikari, remaining 30 gadyanas, should be used by the village assembly for its expense. Yet another inscription of Veerapandyadeva's queen Ballamahadevi, the next ruler is also seen here. The record mentions that when ballamahadevi was ruling her kingdom with the help of samastapradanas, Deshi purushas, Bahattara niyogis and Rishi purohita, she gave a grant to niruvara Bhagavati, out of 100 honnus that is paid to the palace. This inscription was written by keshava senabhova as mentioned in the epigraph.
Interestingly the Alupas were one of the three dynasties that issued gold coins as early as 8th century C.E. The gold that used to mint coins came from trade with the Romans, Arabs and from the adjacent kingdom of Gangas. No other ancient dynasties of the south have issued that many varieties of gold coins as Alupas and Gangas did. The coins of both Gangas and Alupas have inscriptions that helps in dating the period of issue. Unfortunately these coins have not drawn much attention compared to that of Chalukyas or Hoysals. But for sure, they have inspired later dynsties as a prototype or basis to issue coins. Shown below is the hand-drawing of some of the Pandya Gadyanas (Alupa coins) obverse image.

WHAT A DAY

Hey look, the snow has settled all around
I hear the sweetness of a choir’s sound
A crazy rush on Christmas Eve
And all the children can’t believe
When the bells start to chime
That Santa will be right on time
What a day, what a day, the magic is here
What a day, what a day, been waiting all year
What a day, what a day
It’s Christmas in that old fashioned way
Hey look, some more surprises on the tree
Turn on a classic movie on TV
The favourite songs you love to sing
With Frank and Elvis, Nat and Bing
There’s a knock at the door
The party’s gonna swing some more
What a day, what a day, the magic is here
What a day, what a day, been waiting all year
What a day, what a day
It’s Christmas in that old fashioned way
And so let us drink to the memories in our hearts
We’ll raise, raise a glass to you, near or far
Wherever you are
With everyone we love so dear
Let’s celebrate this time of year
And the bells start to chime
A very merry Christmas time
What a day, what a day, the magic is here
What a day, what a day, been waiting all year
For stockings on the fireplace and candles all aglow
And we’ll just keep on dancing underneath the mistletoe
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
LAZY DAYS

Living these lazy, lazy days
Living these lazy, lazy days
Living these lazy, lazy days
These lazy days gonna last for a while
Spent all day screaming and all night on the wire
Got another shot, take my luck
Wash away the pain, stench and muck and misery
You laid on me
And I’ll be happy living these lazy days
Living these lazy, lazy days
Those wasted lies gonna hang over you
Made up my mind
I’m gone and all done crying like a fool
Take a last good look at me
Keep it with those sweet memories of yesterday
You threw away
Because I’ll be happy living these lazy days
I play the blues, I play the blues for company
It’s paradise, yeah that’s just the way it’s gonna be
Give me one good reason, tell me that I’m wrong
For loving life the way that I do, that I do, without you
These lazy days
solo
Got a lonely mug on the tree
Waiting there for no one but me
Free as a bird, hear every word
Because I’ll be happy living
Even though you made me blue
You know I still want you
I don't know if you still want me
I don't know if you still care
I don't know if you feel something
Inside your underwear
And I still want you
Even though you made me blue
You know I still want you
I was calculating
You were the one for me
I thought I was the one for you
But I was out by twenty three
And I still want you
Even though you made me blue
You know I still want you
You were kissing me
I was kissing you
Thought I'd show you my pride and joy
Turns out you've got one too
And I still want you
Even though you made me blue
You know I still want you
Even though you made me blue
DON’T SPOIL THE SILENCE
(Music & Words by Elio Pace) Copyright Control
I saw a light on and I watched from across the street
And through the window I learned about a secret that you keep
Right there I found out and it made my blood run cold
An explanation, who it is and where you go
The voices in my head were screaming out to me
My heart was saying walk away
It’s easier for me to never hear the truth
It’s better that you save it for a rainy day
Don’t spoil the silence baby
Don’t tell me where you’ve been
Don’t spoil the silence
I’m asking you, begging you baby, please don’t
I should’ve called you, let you know I was on my way
I should’ve listened to all the things your doubters had to say
What good is hindsight when you’re in as deep as me?
‘Cause suddenly you took me from a fairy tale
Into a world I’ve never known
I’m working on a way to find some dignity
But I don’t wanna sacrifice a happy home
repeat chorus
And while you’re sleeping, breathing so peacefully
I’m seeing murder inside my mind
It’s like a fever, a fever that’s killing me
Up on the ceiling your demons are laughing at me
And singing songs to your alibis
OH SO TIGHT
(Music & Words by Elio Pace) Copyright Control
I need a thing from you ‘cause you know what to do
To keep my motor running, to keep my spirits flying high
‘Cause when I’m feeling low I sit and play my piano
And with you here beside me the rock and roll will never die
Bring your dancing shoes, suede in shades of blue
And please don’t forget a pair for me
The beat just turns me on and with my inhibitions gone
I’ll make a move tonight so I can hold you oh so tight, oh so tight
Go back to ‘55, when music came alive
With Haley’s ‘alligator’ and Presley brewing up a storm
The feeling they inspired, a generation fired
In me the fire’s burning, it started soon as I was born
But that’s then, this is now
So let’s take a vow to make this night be a memory
The beat just turns me on and with my inhibitions gone
I’ll make a move tonight so I can hold you oh so tight, oh so tight
Oh so tight, now I know inside me it’s so right that I feel this way
Hold me tight, let me hear your heartbeat
Let’s begin to play, let me hear you say
EBONY EYES
(Written by Stevie Wonder)
She’s a Miss Beautiful Supreme
A girl that others wish that they could be
If there’s seven wonders of the world
Then I know she’s got to be number one
She’s a girl that can’t be beat
Born and raised on ghetto street
She’s a devastating beauty
A pretty girl with ebony eyes
She’s the sunflower of nature’s seed
A girl that some men only find in their dreams
When she smiles it seems the stars all know
‘Cause one by one they start to light up the sky
repeat chorus
solo
When she starts talking soft and sweet
Like birds of spring her words all seem to sing
With a rhythm that is made of love
SOBER SIRI
(Music & Words by Elio Pace) Copyright Control
Someone’s at the door, ten to four
Now who can it be?
Awakened by the sound from the ground
“Southampton, it’s me”
“Siri, how do you do
What do you want at this hour?
Can’t you see it’s late? I’m in bed, I know why
You’re giggling at the things I’m telling you
“Stumbling through my door
When at the club you walked like a queen
Now your jumper’s back to front
And earlier on your tights had a seam
You’ve drunk enough for ten
Then again, who doesn’t?
Sit down in a chair, not the bed, you mustn’t
Stop giggling at the things I’m telling you”
Siri, sober Siri
Listens to Mozart on her bike
Can talk religion if you like
And I keep singing, but my Siri
She doesn’t care for ‘Let It Be’
She says it’s me she comes to see
“I’ll meet you at your place,” Siri said
“On Saturday night”
The writing’s on the wall
“Don’t be late and don’t get uptight”
Sure as hell is hot there she was, there’s Siri
Waiting by the gate on her bike to tell me
“I’m everything you want and sober too”
solo
Siri, sober Siri
Her English accent quite supreme
After a drink to the extreme
But I love Siri, pretty Siri
She doesn’t knock on heaven’s door
Just hammers mine at ten to four
Siri came around to the club
We said our goodbyes
Took one last photograph
Saw a tear well up in her eyes
I promised I would come back again
She told me, “I’ll miss you when you go but you know
I can’t be everything you want and sober too
Can’t be everything you want and sober too
GOT THE BUG BACK
(Music by Elio Pace - Words by
Sophie Langham) Copyright Control
I’ve got some good news
I’ve got to tell you
About a friend of mine who had to go away
He’s got a company four-door
And a house that’s paid for
He’s got a guaranteed exotic holiday
But he’s written to say
He’s always dreaming of the way
It could have been
He’s longing to play
And now he’s ready to admit
He’s well and truly bit
He’s got the bug back
He’s coming right back
Back to the kind of life we used to live before
We’ll be jamming all night
Till the groove is uptight
He’s coming back and gonna stay
This time for sure
And he’s taken his time
But in the end you can’t betray your destiny
Security’s fine
But now he’s itching to be free
Doing what comes naturally
Got the bug back, he’s got the bug back,
Got the bug back
Got the bug back, he’s got the bug back,
Got the bug back

And he’s written to say
He’s always dreaming of the way it could have been

THINKIN’
(Music & Words by Elio Pace) Copyright Control
Red, yellow, black or white
Moods I could be tonight
Instead I’m blue from head to toe
And though it’s true, I’d give it all another go
People ‘round me everywhere I play ask me
“Why didn’t you bring her tonight?”
Then the pain starts over again
Just when things started goin’ right
They get me thinkin’, thinkin’ about your love
And though I’m copin’, I’m thinkin’ it ain’t enough
Fools playin’ hard to get
Cry over their regret
Just like I do (over, it’s over) over your photograph
It’s gettin’ through (over, it’s over)
And it’s gettin’ very hard to laugh
Made myself hide away the letters
You would write to me night after night
But there’ll be always one I’ll see
Just when things started goin’ right
They get me thinkin’, thinkin’ about your love
And though I’m copin’, I’m thinkin’ it ain’t enough
You know I’m thinkin’, thinkin’ of what to do
TAKE YOU HOME

We’ve been out and about
All day since half past two
And driving in my car is not what I’d planned to do
Well I think it’s time I told you babe in black and white
I can’t believe you wanna be alone tonight
So come on baby let me take you home
Back to my apartment
We’ll dance, we’ll have some fun
And when we’re through with dancing
Ooh Wee! That’s when the night’s begun
We can sit and talk the night away, it’s up to you
Or let me show I love you if you want me to
So come on baby let me take you home
Tonight, come back with me
We’ll leave a message for your ma and pa
To say where we’ll be
And if we find it gets late
Then I won’t even have to take you home
Stay the night
Now I’ve spoken my mind
And you know exactly how I feel
Don’t be shy now honey
You know I’ve got a heart for sale
Can’t you see it’s in the stars
The moon he says it’s right
The twinkle in your eye is setting me alight
So come on baby let me take you home

KATY LIKES HOUSE
(Music & Words by Elio Pace) Copyright Control
I thought it was my lucky day
When she said, “I’ll come out with you”
“Shall I pick you up there right away?”
She said, “No, no, no, I’ve got my hair to do”
She’s doing her hair for me
Well there has to be a reason that I can’t see
Why my ex-girlfriend is doing her hair for me
We went for a little drink down at the pub
Where my buddy sings
We got some tickets for a club in town
Where the boys do their mingling
But as we stepped in through the door
She broke away, took her shoes off
And she strutted on the dance floor
I might as well have left the club there and then
Because Katy likes house,
(Katy likes house), Katy likes house
Katy likes house, (Katy likes house),
Katy likes house
So tell me what this ‘house’ has got
That the King of rock or I ain’t got
‘Cause I like Katy but Katy likes house
Now the room was getting hot
The hour getting late
And Katy still going strong
She was centre of attraction
And I had everybody asking
“Have you known her long?”
“You’re a lucky old so and so”
But there’s one thing about this beauty
That they don’t know

Temptation walked through the door

With every trick in the book
She stole my right to refuse
No turning back, she got me down on my knees
Got no control, somebody call the police

‘Cause I got myself to the mountain top
I got up and I can’t get down
I got up and I can’t get down
I’m not a man who would fall
No one could stand in my way

And pleading mercy all day

ADDICTED TO THE PHONE

Kicking ‘round the house
I’m agitated ready to explode
Flicking through my database
And memorising all the codes
My self-discipline is poor
Can’t contain myself no more
That’s right
I’m just addicted to the phone
When you’re not home
I’m addicted to the phone
Yes I’m addicted to
To the, to the phone
Sunday crawls around
There’s nothing on the box and rain outside
Killing time ain’t easy
Think I’ll sit and watch the clothes get dry
The best things in life are free
But still I’m billed quarterly
That’s right
repeat chorus
I know you go away
To do the things you’ve got to do but
It fuels my addiction to get through to you
Had the boys around here
They’re always such good company
Still with them I get the urge
To dial your number constantly
And when they walk out the door
Can’t contain myself no more
YOU LOVED ME TOO

I just can’t believe it
You caught me by surprise
Yesterday you held me
And now today your eyes tell me
With all the things I can do
I can’t pretend you loved me too
We had days together
When we laughed and cried
Recalling all the memories
It hurts to think you lied each time
You swore our love would come through
Each time you swore you loved me too
Don’t want the reason why you carried on
Building up my dreams with your song
The song I used to sing to you
And if I had a wish now
One to ease the pain
Then I’d wish to hold you
And kiss you once again

How does it feel To treat me like you do When you've laid laid your hands upon me And told me who you are
I thought I was mistaken I thought I heard your words Tell me how do I feel Tell me now how do I feel
Those who came before me Lived through their vocations From the past until completion They will turn away no more
And I still find it so hard To say what I need to say But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me Just how I should feel today
I see a ship in the harbor I can and shall obey But if it wasn't for your misfortunes I'd be a heavenly person today
And I thought I was mistaken And I thought I heard you speak Tell me how do I feel Tell me now how should I feel
Now I stand here waiting

Every time just like the last On her ship tied to the mast To distant lands Takes both my hands Never a frown with golden brown
Golden brown finer temptress Through the ages she's heading

Love is a burning thing and it makes a firery ring bound by wild desire I fell in to a ring of fire...
I fell in to a burning ring of fire I went down,down,down and the flames went higher. And it burns,burns,burns the ring of fire the ring of fire.
The taste of love is sweet when hearts like our's meet I fell for you like a child oh, but the fire went wild...

The man said 'why do you think you're here'
I said 'I got no idea
I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby
so I always keep a bottle near'
She said 'I just think your depressed,
kiss me baby, and go rest'
They tried to make me go to rehab but i said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when i come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if mummy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but i won't go go go
I don't ever wanna drink again
I just ooh need a friend
I'm gonna spend ten weeks
have everyone think I'm on the mend
It's not just my pride
It's just til these tears have dried
They tried to make me go to rehab but i said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
