Simply Red were a British soul band that sold more than 50 million albums over a 25-year career. Their style drew influences from blue-eyed soul, New Romantic, rock, reggae and jazz. Since their early days the main driving force behind the band was singer Mick Hucknall, who by the time the band broke up in 2010 was the only original member left.
Simply Red originated from the 1976 Sex Pistols gig at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in Manchester, England. Manchester art student Mick Hucknall was one of the many young music fans present, along with Mark E. Smith of The Fall as well as original members of the bands Joy Division, The Smiths and Buzzcocks. The first incarnation of the band was a punk group called The Frantic Elevators, which existed for 7 years, with limited releases on local labels. They split in 1984 with only limited local attention and critical acclaim for their final single, "Holding Back the Years".
After the demise of The Frantic Elevators, Hucknall linked up with manager Elliot Rashman. By early 1985, Hucknall and Rashman had assembled a band of local session musicians, and began to attract record company attention. Around this time, the group adopted the name Red (after Hucknall's nickname, denoting his hair colour). The name Simply Red came about when the manager of a local venue was confused about the band's name and Hucknall replied that the band's name was "Red, simply Red." The resulting misnomer was printed on publicity posters as "Simply Red," and the name stuck.
How could I fall for someone so superficial?
Funny how the things that you can never have
Needle you more
Tired of standing in the rain
Praying for sunshine again
I remember your eyes
Wish I could see through them
How could I fall
If I could
Our love was like the wind
We blew it away
Tired of dealing with your games
Praying I'll never need you again
I remember your eyes
Wish I could see through them
We could have loved so much
Why didn't we try to make it right
Would it have been enough
If I could
I remember your eyes
Wish I could see through them
How could I fall
If I said you were evil
You'd knock me off my feet
If I said you're a good girl
You'd bore me off my seat
You'll never see me walking
Down a guilty middle-class street
I'm frequently appalled
By them pretending to be poor men
I'd give you all I can now
I don't have enough arms for you
Ask the people with the real cash
Institutions who are taking yours and mine
I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad
I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad
It's written in the books
In the literature that I've read
Temporary blindness
Breezing through the fog again
You'll never see me walking
Down a guilty middle-class street
I'm frequently appalled
By them pretending to be poor men
I'd give you all I can now
I don't have enough arms for you
Ask the people with the real cash
Institutions who are taking yours and mine
I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad
I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad
I never get enough of it
I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad
I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad
All eyes were closed, nobody knows
How the world wasn't able to see that they were
Washed-up failures
My eyes are open, my love is strong
I am here to stay and it will always be that way
We're in this together
We're in this together
Forever
Together
My line is strong, my soul it rolls
Somewhere on the train of universal feeling
My eyes are open, just like the ocean
From the people in need to the sun and the seas
We're in this together
We're in this together
Forever
Together
Forever
We're in this together
We're in this together
Forever
Together
Forever
So you tell me you're certain about it
Sure to tell me you're rid of me
How cool can you be
Shrugging you're shoulders saying you're rid of me
That's the way it is
So sickly sweet and oh so candy
No matter which way it is
I'll live in the flat the council gave me
You'd better move on out now
Leave town and get on out now
Living with each other only for the sake of it
Living in a shack they said was "handy"
Your good looks blew you out and now you want no part of it
Suffice to tell me you're rid of me
That's the way it is
I'll live in the flat that the housing gave me
Look uh get outa here!
get outa here!
You'd better move on out now
Leave town and get on out now
Poisoned letters from snakes who died to make it
Hung out drying in the cemetery
My personality always is a problem
Always was and always will be
That's the way it is
You don't need to understand me
No matter which way it is
I'll live in the flat that the housing gave me
Look uh get outa here!
get outa here!
Words and Music Mick Hucknall
'Before we go on the honeymoon is over...
Just because I've never known your face
Don't look at me in the wrong way
To try and pick you out from all this space
the coldest room in the whole damn place
Chorus
Lady Godiva's room
The only place she ever played in tune
Lady Godiva's room
The only place she ever played her bells in
Ah this is madness
This is insane
Gloom
Before we go on the honeymoon is over
When I asked I was beside myself
Thought that marrige would turn out well
The love we have is still inside us
The dreams we had have left inside and died
In this holly and Ivy age
The day we kissed on the Mistletoe train
Chorus
Before we go on the honeymoon is over
Bofore we go on the honeymoon is over
I wanna look into your eyes again
I wanna look into the windows of your soul...again, again
Who's to know where time will lead us now?
I can't believe this is happening now
I'm not scared, I'm just wondering how
I wanna see your eyes
All the time we've shared between us now
The feeling I have needs me to make a vow
Now as I leave I must return somehow
Cause I wanna see your eyes
When I look at you I fumble, my confidence takes a tumble
But when I look into your eyes, I just crumble
'Cos I know that it's you that my heart burns for
That it's you that I'm yearning for
Who's to know where time will lead us now
I can't believe this is happening now
Well I'm not scared, I'm just wondering how
Listen boy, I'll tell you a thing
I'll make you a career in the business I'm in
I'll make you rich, I'll make you a toy
I'll make you turn over into my little boy
Y'see I'm going somewhere
I don't know what I'm gonna do when I get there
I know money's a thing - your only inspiration
And your only meaning
You must think that all I do
Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you
You can fall when I will climb
But I'll be falling over just by having you in my mind
Mend that fight - oh listen to them
Kickin' up a ball inside a jericho wall
Mend that fight - it's all twisted through them
If you ain't rich then you won't go to the ball
Having mercy and licking up love
And moving through your ocean like I've never had enough
Y'see you ain't all I want
You're everything and more that I have ever hoped for
You must think that all I do
Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you
You can fall when I will climb
But I'll be falling over just by having you in my mind
Mend that fight - oh listen to them
Kickin' up a ball inside a jericho wall
Mend that fight - it's all twisted through them
I'm rich, you ain't, so you won't go to the ball
You won't go to the ball
You won't go to the ball
You won't go, you won't go
You won't go to the ball
You must think that all I do
Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you
You can fall when I will climb
But I'll be falling over just by having you in my mind
Mend that fight - oh listen to them
Kickin' up a ball outside a no. 10 wall
Mend that fight - it's all twisted through them
I'm rich, you ain't, so you won't go to the ball
No more!
You won't go to the ball
You won't go to the ball
You won't go, you won't go
You won't go to the ball
Yeah, if you ain't got nothing
You'll never go there
I tried to make you see
I tell you I'd had enough
Money was a thing, money was a thing
Your indulgence of your freedom ignores me
Your freedom to express your confusion shames all of us
As if being a lady will make it easier
By being a lady it will make love life clearer
I hope that you get what you think you want some day baby
And I pray that you get the approval you're craving
This beautiful lady can overtake all of us
Funny this kind of lady seems to make our lives clearer
I could turn on a leaf and let you burn
Beg you for relief when it's my turn
Help me to help you help me learn
Ah lady! You make life breathe easier
But don't blame me if your life sheds a tear
The feverish time we spend alone it soothes me
But too many days spent apart alone they just confuse me
Part of being a lady you love it when I miss you more
And without pontificating its you I'm adorin'
Ah Lady! Oh Lady!
Crazy! Ooh Lady!
It's only love
It's only love
Don't be afraid to touch me babe
Girl let's be real
There's nothing wrong
With the way we're carrying on
So enjoy and live
Because
It's only love doing it's thing baby
It's only love that you're feeling
It's only love doing it's thing baby
It's only love that you're giving
I wanna stay with you night and day
Until the end of time
It's OK when you lay
Lay your body next to mine
Because
It's only love doing it's thing baby
It's only love that you're feeling
It's only love doing it's thing baby
Gotta find me an angel
To fly away with me
Gotta find me an angel
Who set me free
My heart is without a home
I don't want to be alone
Gotta find me an angel
In my life
Too long have I loved
So unattached within
So much that I learn
That I need somebody so
Still I'll just go on
Hoping that I'll find someone
Gotta find me an angel in my life
I know there must be someone someone for me
I've lived too long without the love of someone
And there's no misery like the misery I feel in me
Gotta find me an angel in my life
She'll be there now don't you worry
Keep looking now just keep looking
If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me
All the things
That we've been through
You should understand me
Like I understand you
Now girl I know the difference
Between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothing
To break up our happy home
Don't get so excited
When I come home
A little late at night
Cos we only act like children
When we argue fuss and fight
If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me
We've all got our
Own funny moods
I've got mine,
Woman you've got yours too
Just trust in me like I trust in you
As long as we've been together
It should be so easy to do
Just get yourself together
Or we might as well say goodbye
What good is a love affair
When you can't see eye to eye
If you don't know me by now
You will never
My love
I'll never find the words, my love
To tell you how I feel, my love
Mere words could not explain
Precious love
You held my life within your hands
Created everything I am
Taught me how to live again
Only you
Cared when I needed a friend
Believed in me through thick and thin
This song is for you, filled with gratitude and love
God bless you
You make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you
You make me feel brand new
I sing this song 'cause you
Make me feel brand new
My love
Whenever I was insecure
You built me up and made me sure
You gave my pride back to me
Precious friend
With you I'll always have a friend
You're someone whom I can depend
To walk a path that sometimes bends
Without you
Life has no meaning or rhyme
Like notes to a song out of time
How can I repay you for having faith in me?
God, it's you
You make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you
You make me feel brand new
I sing this song for you
You makin' me feel so brand new
Make me feel brand new
Makin' me, makin' me, makin' me feel so new
Make me feel brand new
You, you make me feel brand new
Make me feel brand new
You make me feel brand new
Make me feel brand new
You make me feel brand new
Make me feel brand new
People, places
Pursuing the chases
Our moments were chosen
Her senses, explosion
Take your pulse and read it well
She never said you'd only get one chance
Pay your debt and bleed as well
You're living in the same circumstances
The end of an era
Our future no clearer
My people no stronger
The blame I lay on her
Wonderland, Wonderland
It's beautiful
Wonderland, wonderland
It's beautiful
Take your pulse and read it well
She never said you'd only get one chance
Pay your debt and bleed as well
You're living in the same circumstances
The end of an era
My future no clearer
Our people no stronger
The blame I lay on her
Wonderland, wonderland
It's beautiful
Wonderland, wonderland
It's beautiful
Fading away, fading away until tomorrow comes
To haunt us all
It's coming again, it's gonna pick up on you
And haunt you always
Wonderland wonderland
I'm blue, blue like a Monday morning
Raised up in a way that I can value
All the material things that I could ever really need don't matter
So many ways that I can thank you
But you know that I am here and no-one else in this world will matter
I'm blue, blue like a Monday morning
It's true, it's you that's got me yearning
For a love that will last forever
Wishing that somebody somewhere
Would break through these wrought iron doors and just smile
Because I'm blue
I can't get emote to try and tell you
All the love that I have
Am I ever gonna make it happen?
So many ways that I can thank you
But you know that I'm here and no-one else in this
world will matter
I'm blue, blue like a Monday morning
It's true, it's you that's got me yearning
We follow the river down into the stream
that's where my dream began
i left my worries to the people who stare
and dream without a care
that i'd always be beside you to watch the day and night
and we'd listen to the sunrise and feel its growing light
and peace will come inside
so quiet
whereever we're goin' i dont know
for million years our love keeps growin'
the mystery deepens day by day
but trust my love and hear me say
that i'll always be beside you to watch the day and night
and we'd listen to the sunrise and feel its growing light
and peace will come inside
so quiet
and peace will come inside
so quiet
guess i'll always be beside you to watch the day and night
and we'd listen to the sunrise and feel its growin' light
and peace will come inside
so quiet
yes peace will come inside
This is your God
As we wander back into the universe
We render ourselves into a higher plane
Believing we will never wonder why again
He surely must be laughing Mr. Universe
Seeing us slowly head towards our goal
Only the joke is we don't know what it is at all
Yet our Gods teach us divinity
And we go on searching for you and me
As for the universe
This is your God
The order's truly random in the universe
And where will we be in a thousand years?
Soothingly searching to allay our fears
Well now we've wandered backwards to eternity
We're changing the concept of belief in time
Re-arranging the clock that dictates our minds
Yet our Gods teach us divinity
And we go on searching for you and me
As for the universe
This is your God
As for the universe
This is your God
Gotta find me an angel
To fly away with me
Gotta find me an angel
Who set me free
My heart is without a home
I don't want to be alone
Gotta find me an angel
In my life
Too long have I loved
So unattached within
So much that I learn
That I need somebody so
Still I'll just go on
Hoping that I'll find someone
Gotta find me an angel in my life
I know there must be someone someone for me
I've lived too long without the love of someone
And there's no misery like the misery I feel in me
Gotta find me an angel in my life
She'll be there now don't you worry
Come to my aid, you're sweet as everything
Come to my aid, I'd give you anything
I feel so betrayed by a people I love
Come to my aid, it's you I'm thinking of
Prouder than wild, sad enough to sing
Come to my aid and care for social living
Why are we liable to die for survival
Why is our nation divided?
Come to my aid
In the poverty stakes see just what it means
When welfare decimates you'd better care
About your fellow people
Why are we liable to die for survival
Why is our nation divided?
Come to my aid
This one's going out to you girl, wherever you may be
I may not be the way you wanted it, I got a need to be free
Yet I know that I need someone and I'm calling out to you
Come get me girl, come get me baby,
I need you, I need you in my life
Whatever it takes to change girl, maybe I'll do it for you
If you can go as deep as I go, baby I'm gonna need you
I want you to be my girl, I want you to be my world
Not any night, not always in my life, I need you
I want you to be my girl, I want you to be my world
Not any night not always, but when it's right for you and me
Alright when it's alright, hey in my life
She'll be there and don't you worry
This land is real, real as the next man
This land is there for all to see
You're standing there so cold and calm
You stand so close to me
And you out there can keep away
There's nothing owed to you
All I want's to lose myself and stay so close to you
The river is cruel its pipes are sprayed with long forgotten names
Big boys now with kids whose lives will never feel the same
If you out there don't get what I say, there's nothing owed to you
To feel that way is born inside no matter what you do
I wonder how my fortune fell
When everything began to melt
The case I had for wasting that
That never came
I want to walk away again
Away again
Away again
There to wonder how those things will never be
Searching for that grand illusion fools have called the key
If you don't care just keep away, how can I give hope to you
Nearer now are both our futures, me, our hearts and you
And yet all I want is to lose myself and stay so close to you
Now I am a broken man, Now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man, Now I am a broken man
It's no good being here with me
I'm a little scared of the things you see
It's no good having friends at all
They do me no good, they don't do me no good at all
It's no good living in the past
It's no good at all you know it don't last
It's no good making a change
There's nothing to change I don't want to rearrange
But what I wanna do is spend some time with you
But I know I can't because all you want is you
So now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man
I am a broken man
I saw my shadow on the wall
It looked at me then left me
I'm hoping somebody will call
But I hope they don't come and get me at all
Because what I wanna do is spend some time with you
But I know I can't because all you want is you
So now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man
I know the desert can't hold all the love
that I feel in my heart for you
If I could spread it out across the sea,
I know my love would cork it up
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
If the bees only knew how sweet you are baby
They would seal up their honeycomb
If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is
They would tighten up the song
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Your lips are so sweet, honey you're my every need
You got a smile so rare
A love like yours I just can't compare
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
If the cook in the kitchen had a touch as hot as yours
They wouldn't need a fire
I can't think of a word that describes you better
I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Baby can't you see through me
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front when I was hiding
Now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life you're a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song to you
We were alone and I was singing this song to you
This impossible power
A strength that I can't see
There's no way
That I can let you go
Why did I mistake sex
For another sense
Then wanted someone else
To try to tell you no
I think you understand
Oh that you've got it
I try hard but I can't
Oh do without it
I think you understand
That you've got it
This impossible power
Has broken into me
And stolen all the sense
That I had before
Why did I just take
And never understand
The love you've given me
Could've learnt me more
I think you understand
Oh that you've got it
I try hard but I can't
Oh do without it
I think you understand
That you've got it
What made you think
That I'd be true to you
I needed to
Prove it to myself
That I could let you go
What made you think that
I'd be a fool for you
You knew that I was lying
There was something
I was hiding
I think you understand
Oh that you've got it
Well I try hard but I can't
You have turned into a prayer
I can feel I'm almost there
Closer closer to the top
Looking down is quite a drop
Let me have it all
Let me have it all
You set up a barrier
Don't you know I'd marry ya
Can't explain how you make me feel
Looking down is mighty real
Make me feel like a king
Everything is everything
Let me have it all
Let me have it all
You set up a barrier
Don't you know I'd marry ya
Just to be near you is to be
Just so you can give it to me
Let me have it all
I've got to stand up for myself
This society don't care about nobody else
I've got to be strong
Even if I know that this feeling is wrong
I've got to not care
Even if I know that this world is meant to
Share
Wait a minute. This is wrong
Even the birds still sing their faithful song
And your beauty lies within you
Look in the mirror baby
Look in the mirror baby
What you gonna do when your friends have
Gone away
And deserted you
You'll have to be strong
24 hours can seem so long
You're taught to not care
And then not realise this world is meant to
Share
Wait a minute. It's wrong
Even the birds still sing their faithful song
And your beauty lies within you
Look in the mirror baby
Look in the mirror baby
We've got to stand up for ourselves
Even if a leader so cold wants to glory himself
We've got to be strong
Even if our reasons seem wrong
We've got to not care
Even if the world that we know may not even
Be here
Hold it! It's wrong
Even the birds still sing their faithful song
And your beauty lies within you
Look in the mirror baby
I drank a lot
Spent too much
Gave a lot
Screwed up a lot
Now good times you've done me wrong, so wrong
And now I feel that my lifetime is mine
Happy to drink my wine
Hangin' here, that girl of mine
Still, good times, you've done me wrong, so wrong
Remember all the good times
Remember all the good times
Remember all the good times
Remember all the good times
Good times, good times
Good times, good times
Remember all the good times
The good times
The good times
I did really love too much
I never really cared too much
Good times you've done me wrong
Stay at home, now
That little girl was born on the ghetto side of town
She knows every trick in the book and she certainly gets around
She's been with many men since she was only ten
She never stay at home, she's always on the town
Your mamma is wondering where you are
What do you see at night when you're under the stars
Stay at home
Sister stay at home
Don't let your mamma down
Don't be a run around
Stay at home
Sister stay at home
Don't let your mamma down
Don't be a run around
Stay at home, now
That little girl was born on the ghetto side of town
She knows every trick in the book and she certainly gets around
She's been with many men since she was only ten
She never stay at home, she's always on the town
Your mamma is wondering where you are
What do you see at night when you're under the stars
Baby keep on running and you won't get far
You like to travel with all those movie stars
You like a hangin' in the big long shiny cars
Sister stay at home
Oh boy, what a fight
We fought and the thing is
Usually we were both right
Ok I'm crazy but maybe
I hope that turning the page somehow
Reveals a note that will claim you forever
Both of us, what a sight
In the mall there screaming
Believing it could be so right
'Cause you know that you're mine baby
Gotta get back home to you somehow
And take the blame for screaming much louder
Still you're in my dreams
Ok not constantly, baby
But believe me enough
To be eternally, endlessly
Stirred but never shaken
Well turned, but never burned
By your love
Your perfect love
(Your perfect love)
Your perfect love
(Your perfect love)
Your perfect love
(Your perfect love)
Your perfect love
Through the day and the night
Thinking of you lady
Here with a love that feels so right
I know it's hazy but maybe
We've got to make it work out somehow
To keep a love that will last us forever
Still you're in my dreams
Ok, not constantly, baby
But believe me enough
To be eternally, endlessly
Stirred but never shaken
Well turned but never burned
By your love
Your perfect love
[Repeat to end]
We all need somebody
who's proud and believes
Who hears what you need
who's found underneath
I have the love of a woman
I have the love of a woman
Gaze at me look at me listen to me now
As I show you what true love can do
Days are to praise what you've given me now
Every day feels something new
I have the love of a woman
I have the love of a woman
It's you that I need
The truth is how good we can be
Cos I love a woman
So what could I need
I love you woman yeah
That is all it's in her I believe
I have the love of a woman
I have the love of a woman
It's you that I need
The beauty you give lives in me
Cos I love a woman
What could I need
I love you woman
What could I need
I love you woman
I love love
Love
I love that girl
I always will
I love that woman
I love you girl
Just a man, good and sometimes bad
But striving to do the best that I can
Help a hand when the one close by you falls
Understanding can do the rest and that ain't all
Hope I can please you but the truth isn't easy to say
The more that you're spending the more it'll get in your way
I say it to please you to forget what you have done, so pray
I got the blues from the debt of the people today
You can have it all but you've got to pay
You can have it all don't pay me today
Wotcha man as the bills around you grow
Providing you take a loan to pay for them all
Help a hand when the one close by you falls
Depending if the fool keeps spending it all
You can have it all but you've got to pay
(You can have it)
Fake cool image should be over
'Cause I long for a feeling of home
Real life, depicted in song
A loving memory
Ev'ryone is trying to get to the bar
The name of the bar
The bar is called heaven
The band in heaven
They play my fav'rite song
They play it once again
They play it all night long
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
There is a party, everyone is there
Everyone will leave at exactly the same time
It's hard to imagine that nothing at all
Could be so exciting, could be so much fun
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
When this kiss is over it will start again
It will not be any different, it will be exactly the same
It's hard to imagine that nothing at all
Could be so exciting, could be so much fun
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Love the thought
Driving down an endless road
Taking friends or moving alone
Pleasure at the fairground on the way
It's always friends that feel so good
Let's make amends like all good men should
Pleasure at the fairground on the way
Walk around, be free and roam
There's always someone leaving alone
Pleasure at the fairground on the way
(chorus:)
And I love the thought of coming home to you
Even if I know we can't make it
Yes I love the thought of giving hope to you
Just a little ray of light shining through
Love can bend and breathe alone
Until the end it finds you a home
Don't care what the people may say
It's always friends that feel so good
Let's make amends like all good men should
Pleasure at the fairground on the way
(chorus)
I love the thought of coming home to you
Even if I know we can't make it
Yes I love the thought of giving hope to you
Just a little ray of light shining through
Pleasure at the fairground on the way
(chorus)
I love the thought of coming home to you
Even if I know we can't make it
Yes I love the thought of giving hope to you
Just a little ray of light shining through
Love (love the thought)
Even if I know we can't make it
L-l-love the thought
L-l-love the thought
Hillside Avenue, Jamaica Avenue
Was the sign I saw when I suddenly thought
Your health is your life
Why why why was I thinking that
Who's gonna pay when the children start crying
You'll never never get away
Strange how the air that you're breathing is dying
It's gonna get rough, when I get to . . .
Hillside Avenue, Jamaica Avenue
Was the sign I saw when I suddenly thought
Your health is your life
Keeps you alive
Why why why was I thinking that
When the rich man lies dying in his bed
He'll be thinking of the very words I said
When he's lying there dying in his bed
He'll be thinking of the very words I said
Repeat!
Hillside Avenue, Jamaica Avenue
Was the sign I saw when I suddenly thought
Your health is your life
Loving you just goes on
On and on, on and on
And on
Growing with you
Is pleasure for two
Raising my spirits
Hoping for you
And I do
And being with you
I see a side of my life
A chance to grow
In a way that I never knew
'Cause baby it's you
Honey, it's you
Find a movie where there's no one
On and on, just having fun
On our own
22 different shows on
Don't care which one
Just as long as we're having fun
On and on and on
'Cause being with you
I see a change in my life
A chance to grow
In a way that I never knew
'Cause baby it's you
You you you, you you you, it's you
Honey it's you
Baby it's you
You you you, you you you, you you you
Sometimes you're my mama
Sometimes my little baby girl
Occasionally you're my puttana
But then you're sweet, sweet sweet love
And it makes me believe
That I should never lose you love
You make me believe
Fulfil all my fantasies
Moisten up all my warmest dreams
Hold my love in silk bandanas
And then just scream, scream it love
Cause it would make me weep
If I should ever lose your love
Cause you make me believe
But then you're sweet, sweet sweet love
And it makes me believe
That I should never lose your love
When a man just can't be trusted
And again he's gone and lost it
Your call has been registered
It'll be returned when I get back home
I've been out loving all night long
I can't help it, that love it makes me strong
When a man just can't be trusted
And again he's gone and lost it
Ask me all the questions you need
I don't tell lies, my conscience don't bleed
You'll get all the time I can give
As long as you respect my freedom to live
When a man just can't be trusted
And again he's gone and lost it
I just can't be trusted
A kick in the ribs for the arrival late at night
So late in the evening you could see the morning light
When you're sat up alone and you wonder where I've been
You can pick up my belongings and tell me where I can take them
When a man just can't be trusted
And again he's gone and lost it
I just can't be trusted
It's only love - it's only love -
Don't be afraid to touch me
babe
girl
let's be real.
There's nothing wrong with the way we're carrying on
So enjoy and live because -
It's only love doing this thing
baby
It's only love that you're feeling.
It's only love doing this thing
baby
It's only love that you're giving.
I wanna stay with you night and day
until the end of time.
It's okay when you lay
lay your body next to mine
because -
It's only love doing this thing
baby
I wanna stay you night and day
until the end of time. ...
It's only love doing this thing
baby
It's only love doing this thing
baby
Do I feel jealousy when you're free without me?
Maybe
Do I feel that my love will stay with you forever?
Hopefully
In memoriam of my lovers will you sleep with me forever?
Oh most certainly I never did doubt you
You surround yourself with trinkets like they're meaningful possessions,
baby
Like some squirrel in the garden with expensive permutations,
Save me
They'll outlive you in the end will be your final realisation
Oh most certainly I never did doubt you
Words for girlfriends parading as songs
to be living with songs, yet without you
Words for girlfriends parading as songs
'Though I never ever really did doubt you, no...
As we search our lives forever for perfection in relations,
Ladies
I can dream of love and scheme of love with all its complications,
Shakily
Ideals are fine for beauty but for love they fool relations
Oh most certainly I never did doubt you
Words for girlfriends parading as songs
to be living with you, yet without you
Words for girlfriends parading as songs
'Though I never ever really did doubt you,
No I never ever really did doubt you
As we search our lives forever for perfection in relations,
Ladies
I can dream of love and scheme of love with all its complications...
Looking at yourself in the mirror baby
Telling yourself to be up this morning
Holding in your hand another mirror baby
One or two lines for confidence
Pretty little girl is climbing to the top
Her ageing takes her
Down, down, down
Eating alligator for dinner baby
A restaurant that made it to the top
Smoothies always get to pay for dinner baby
The food was the last thing you came for
Pretty little girl is climbing to the top
Her ageing takes her
Down, down, down
Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love
Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love
I'm praying for
A girl to be my own
Soon you said she coming but I don't believe a word she say
Cause she run away and left me one rainy day
She made me had in mind
That her love would never die
And now I'm alone, so alone
So alone, yeah, yeah
Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love
Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love
The love I had in mind
Was very, very hard to find
It's hard for a man to live without a woman
And a woman needs a man to cling to
You'll see what love can do
After making me feel blue
Ain't that a shame, whoa baby
Ain't that a shame
To make me feel blue
I remember a time and a place
Where Herbie had to hide his face
All my money was spent
And I still don't get one red cent
One black face replaced by a Base
Sown from the seeds of a white disgrace
And money TV made it all for free
Did they really do it for you and for me?
Money TV, money TV, money TV
You're so good to me
So good to me, so good to me
Money TV, money TV, money TV
Money is your baby and you know what you breed
So this skateboard
Knew a burger
Knew a soft drink
And they used to stay at home
Playing videos on computers
And they called it a life and you know what they think they were right
Money TV
Money TV, money TV, money TV
Money is your baby and you know what you breed
Dear surfers you ride as you see
Compute me with lead and your mercury
So I can eat burgers and live life on money TV
Mr Shirty you hide in your place
Sown from the seeds of a white disgrace,
'Cos money's been spent and I still don't get one red cent
Money TV
Money TV, money TV, money TV
You know what you've been
I been laid off from work
My rent is due
My kids all need
Brand new shoes
So I went to the bank
To see what they could do
They said son - looks like bad luck
Got-a hold on you
[Chorus:]
Money's too tight to mention
I can't get an un-em-ploy-ment ex-ten-sion
Money's too tight to mention
I went to my brother
To see what he could do -
He said bro-ther like to help you
But I'm unable to
So I called on my fa-ther fa-ther
Oh my fa-ther
He said
[Chorus:]
Money's too tight to mention
Oh mo-ney mo-ney mo-ney mon-ey
Mo-ney's too tight to mention
I can't even qual-i-fy for my pension
We talk a-bout rea-gan-on-ics
Oh lord down in the con-gress
They're passing all kinds - of bills
From down cap-it-ol hill - (we've tried them)
[Chorus:]
Money's too tight to mention
[spoken] cut-back!
Mo-ney mo-ney mo-ney mon-ey
We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We're talk-in' 'bout the dollar bill
Now what are we all to do
When the mon-ey's got a hold on you?
Mo-ney's too tight to mention
Oh mon-ey mon-ey mon-ey mon-ey
Mo-ney's too tight to mention
Di-nero - mon-ey oh yeah
We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
You've had your flings
I've had mine
You've grown your wings
I've flown mine
The only way out is to
Give you more love
More of my love
Not a girl of my dreams
But two hearts and two minds
The strain that brings
Is ours until the end of time
The only way out is to
Give you more love
For those who are in love
I'm with you babies
How can it be that we feel this way?
For those who are a bluff
I fear you ladies, how can you treat little me this way?
It's a drug that brings you pleasure and pain
It's a love that leaves you crying in the rain
Yeah I'm your lover, Oh I'm your lover
A ring-a-ling, Ting-a-ling lover
A sing-a-ling, Ting-a-ling lover
How can it be when you're with me baby
You feel the same way as me?
I hope you're not a bluff, 'cos I need you baby
Do you feel the same way as me?
There's an invisible contact between us
A hope and a dream that the words the poets
Have been writing are real
More than a dream
More than just a sex machine
So you tell me you're certain about it
Sure to tell me you're rid of me
How cool can you be
Shrugging you're shoulders saying you're rid of me
That's the way it is
So sickly sweet and oh so candy
No matter which way it is
I'll live in the flat the council gave me
You'd better move on out now
Leave town and get on out now
Living with each other only for the sake of it
Living in a shack they said was "handy"
Your good looks blew you out and now you want no part of it
Suffice to tell me you're rid of me
That's the way it is
I'll live in the flat that the housing gave me
Look uh get outa here!
get outa here!
You'd better move on out now
Leave town and get on out now
Poisoned letters from snakes who died to make it
Hung out drying in the cemetery
My personality always is a problem
Always was and always will be
That's the way it is
You don't need to understand me
No matter which way it is
I'll live in the flat that the housing gave me
Look uh get outa here!
Oh boy, what a fight
We fought and the thing is
Usually we were both right
Ok I'm crazy but maybe
I hope that turning the page somehow
Reveals a note that will claim you forever
Both of us, what a sight
In the mall there screaming
Believing it could be so right
'Cause you know that you're mine baby
Gotta get back home to you somehow
And take the blame for screaming much louder
Still you're in my dreams
Ok not constantly, baby
But believe me enough
To be eternally, endlessly
Stirred but never shaken
Well turned, but never burned
By your love
Your perfect love
(Your perfect love)
Your perfect love
(Your perfect love)
Your perfect love
(Your perfect love)
Your perfect love
Through the day and the night
Thinking of you lady
Here with a love that feels so right
I know it's hazy but maybe
We've got to make it work out somehow
To keep a love that will last us forever
Still you're in my dreams
Ok, not constantly, baby
But believe me enough
To be eternally, endlessly
Stirred but never shaken
Well turned but never burned
By your love
Your perfect love
I've been a fool, talking to myself and no-one else
I play it cool, so cool that no-one ever understands me
Maybe one day someone will come
Now! Now
I didn't do the things I was supposed to do
You didn't move, you used me and I used you too
Maybe one day someone will come
Maybe one day someone will come
Why it's killing you, is a reason for yourself and no-one else
I couldn't move, you used it and it used you too
Maybe one day someone will come
Baby mellow my mind
Make me feel, like a schoolboy on good time
Jugglin' nickels and dimes
Satisfied with the fish on the line
I've been down the road and I've come back
Lonesome whistle on the railroad track
Ain't got nothin' on those feelings that I had
Something so hard to find
A situation, that could casualise your mind
I've been down the road and I've come back
Lonesome whistle on the railroad track
Ain't got nothin' on those feelings that I had
I've been down the road and I've come back
Lonesome whistle on the railroad track
Ain't got nothin' on those feelings that I had.
Baby mellow my mind
Make me feel, like a schoolboy on good time
Jugglin' nickels and dimes
I get off my things, I lay down in the sidelanes
I don't feel that I hide, just permanently ride
And I'm waiting for your gentle reign
Something that'll help me learn
But one look at her and you know
That she's got it bad
One look and the mirror shows
I live as I want
But she's got it bad
Check it out, check it out, roll up there now
Huh!
She's headed for a festival of heartache
Miss executive desperation you only suck the
Blood that's spilled
Your macho imitation femininity is killed
I pray that you don't feel no pain
Only if it helps you learn
But one look at her and you know
That she's got it bad
One look and the mirror shows
I live as I want
But she's got it bad
She knows it
Ooh I remember those old love letters
Plagued with memories, I can't forget us
Trying to fight it, trying to hide it
Rekindled flames are not recommended
But it never went out boy, it never ended
Trying to fight it, trying to hide it
But your love it shines
In a cruel hard world
It's a miracle to find
Someone good, someone whose love it shines
Your love it shines
Here in this apartment with oh too many rooms
Pearls once meant something, they brought me only gloom
Trying to fight it, trying to hide it
Rekindled flames they're not recommended
But it never went out boy, it never ended
Crime can fight it, lies can hide it
But your love it shines
In a cruel hard world
It's a miracle to find
Someone good, someone whose love it shines
Your love it shines
You'd better shine your love, shine your love, shine it up
You'd better shine your love, shine your love, shine it up
In a cruel hard world
It's a miracle to find
Someone good, someone whose love it shines
Being one of those grains of sand
I get blown all around the world
And what I make of it
Oh I don't know
What's the meaning of it
Oh I don't know
I've been around so many times
That the worlds turning in my mind
What do I think of it
Oh it's so so
What more can you be than the things they say you've been
Say you love me all around the world
Stay and hug me all around the world
Be yours a boy or be mine a girl
Just say you love me
Just say you love me
I never ever realised
It's so easy to make you cry
But did I break a bit
Oh I hope no
Have you forgot about it
Oh I hope so
But you never ever wonder why
In every single pair of eyes
There is a hunger in it
Or it's soul dies
What more can you be than the things they say you've been
Say you love me all around the world
Stay and hug me all around the world
Be yours a boy or be mine a girl
Say you love me all around the world
Stay and hug me all around the world
Be yours a boy or be mine a girl
Just say you love me
Come on now darling, say you love me
Oh yeah, please please say you love me
Your chances are running out
I can see possibilities clearly
The poor man who put those
Rumours about
Obviously didn't really hear me
Breaking our backs with slurs
And taking our tax for murdering
The only thing I know
She'll have to go
Your grass may be greener man
I was born on the pavement
I'm standing in
It's blue grass honey
It's a working man
It's more than all the things
That you're demanding
Breaking our backs with slurs
And taking our tax for murdering
The only thing I know
I was listening to this conversation
Noticing my daydream stimulated me more
I was crumbling with anticipation
You'd better send me home before I tumble down to the floor
You're so beautiful but oh so boring
I'm wondering what am I doing here
So beautiful but oh so boring, I'm wondering
If anyone out there really cares
About the curlers in your hair
My little golden baby, where have all your birds flown now?
Something's glistening in my imagination
Motorvatin' something close to breaking the law
Wait a mo' before you take me down to the station
I've never known a one who'd make me suicidal before
She was so beautiful but oh so boring
I'm wondering what was I doing there
So beautiful but oh so boring, I'm wondering
If anyone out there really cares
About the colour of your hair
Where do you want to go ?
Are you sure of the road that you're on?
Who do you want to be ?
All I know is the world deserves to be free
Let's pretend we're staring from the moon
Love is not only for the human
Look at the world you know
Do you believe it will go on?
Where do you want to go?
The things we take will only last for so long
In the end you know it's up to you
Love is not only for the human
Oh man, we are so many people
Living different lives under turbulent times
Oh man, we don't know good from evil
Looking through our eyes is the burden of our lives
Say can we tell for sure
The North and South will keep their snow on?
Say can the Earth endure
Do you really believe we can go on ?
In the end you know it's up to you
Love is not only for the human
Oh man, we are so many people
Living different lives under turbulent times
Oh man, we don't know good from evil
Looking through our eyes is the burden of our lives
In the end God is the Universe
You make me smile glowing shine
You make me glad to be alive
With love that's easy to survive
The girl that i lost when i was blew
Has confirmed my heart grows stronger
When there's you
Cause you make me smile
You make me smile
True love won't find a better way
Fake love as planets get away
New love won't find a better place to stay
The moment that i loved you always knew
My heart loves longer and stronger when there's you
Cause you make me smile
You make me smile
The color of my blood is truly justified
That was me it was me I never lied
My blood flows trough you
And my heart goes trough you when you cried
It's no good to plot i've never wondered why
Who'd to be who'd to be i'd never tried
It's enough to know you
And to love you baby is my pride
Loving you forever is a must
And for now and my love will never be denied
Cause you make me smile
You make me smile
You make me smile
You make me smile
I was listening to this conversation
Noticing my daydream stimulated me more
I was crumbling with anticipation
You better send me home before I tumble down to the
floor
You're so beautiful but oh so boring
I'm wondering what am I doing here
So beautiful but oh so boring, I'm wondering
If anyone out there really cares
About the curlers in your hair
My little golden baby, where have all your birds flown
now?
Something's glistening in my imagination
Motivating something close to breaking the law
Wait a mo before you take me down to the station
I've never known a one who'd make me suicidal before
She was so beautiful but oh so boring
I'm wondering what was I doing there
So beautiful but oh so boring, I'm wondering
If anyone out there really cares
About the colour of your hair
My little golden baby, where have all your birds flown
now?

Aus dem Album Life
I was bowled out
I was sold down the river
And her warm heart
Would turn me forever
She's turned me round
A new flame has come
And nothing she can do
Can do me wrong
I am stern now
Petty words
Don't believe me
But her warm smile
Is never gonna leave me
She's turned me round
A new flame has come
And nothing she can do
Can do me wrong
Wrong oh no
Wrong oh no
She's made of real glass
She got real real emotion
But my heart laughs
I have that same
Sweet devotion
She's turned me round
A new flame has come
And nothing she can do
Can do me wrong
Wrong oh no
Wrong oh no
Nothing she can do
In the middle of the night
When the time is right
Sexily right
I'm gonna do the right thing
I'm feeling hot
I ain't ever gonna stop
To get what you got
You better take what I bring
I feel it now
Much harder now
More than any old how
Say you feel the pain
Feel I'm getting harder now
(Get off your back four, get on top more)
Feel I'm sinking farther down
(Get off your back four, get on top more)
I told you to stop
You're sleeping out a lot
You told me get lost
Where's your understanding
I feel it now
Much harder than I've ever done now, now
Hey, I'm gonna do the right thing
Feel I'm getting harder now
(Get off your back four, get on top more)
Feel I'm sinking farther down
(Get off your back four, get on top more)
In the middle of the night
When the time is right
Sexily right
I'm gonna do the right thing
I'm on fire now
You know I'm on fire now
You know I told you
That I would never dream of leaving now
If I did it right
I walk on stone, it leads me home
We don't have streets, just pure concrete
I'm not glad when I get home
I'm sad old red, I don't wanna be alone
I go whiter in the face, my feet begin to shake
I go upstairs to that heavenly place
I'm not glad when I get home
I'm sad old red, I don't wanna be alone
Sad old red, sat at home
Sad old red, living on his own
Sad old red, sat at home
Sad old red, let me take you home
It's a cubic room, two holes peep through
Shadows on the wall of trees so tall
I think of her again, the joy she used to bring
Lay there in bed, two words she said
She said "oh red"
Sad old red, that's what I am
All the time, every night
Words & music Bill Withers
Granma's hands clapped in church on Sunday morning
Granma's hands played the tambourine so well
Granma's hands used to issue out a warning
"Michael don't you run so fast
Might fall on a piece of glass
Might be snakes there in that grass"
Granma's hands
Granma's hands sooth the local unwed mother
Granma's hands used to ache sometimes and swell
Granma's hands used to lift her free and tell her
"Baby Granma understands
That you really loved that man
Put yourself in the Spirits' hands"
Granma's hands
Granma's hands used to hand me a piece of candy
Granma's hands picked me up each time I fell
Granma's hands, boy they really came in handy
"Mattie don't you whip that boy
What you want to spank him for?
He didn't drop no apple core"
But I don't have Granma any more
If I get to heaven I'll look for
Granma
If I ever get up there
If I ever go down there
I'll be wandering around
I'll be looking for her
I'll be looking up a north a south a west and east and everywhere I go
Baby Granma
Those eyes, those hands, those smiles
Those warm little looks I get from her...
Many types came to see the picture
Many types came to see the picture
Only he had the right to come
Only he is long gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Will or win or wicked, it's written in it
Will or win or wicked, it's written in it
Quivering in mutual aggression
Women sing remembering affection
Only he had the right to come now
Only he is long gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Will or win or wicked, it's written in it
Will or win or wicked, it's written in it

Holding back the years
Thinking of the fear I've had so long
When somebody hears
Listen to the fear that's gone
Strangled by the wishes of pater
Hoping for the arms of mater
Get to me the sooner or later
Holding back the years
Chance for me to escape from all I've known
Holding back the tears
Cause nothing here has grown
I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
Nothing ever could yeah
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
So tight
I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all of those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
Cause nothing ever could oh yeah
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on

She said "You don't see why

You may bury my body

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance
And I've never seen that dress you're wearing or that highlights in your hair
That catch your eyes, I have been blind
The lady in red is dancing with me cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me, it's where I wanna be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget the way you look tonight
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away
And I have never had such a feeling, such a feeling
Of complete and utter love, as I do tonight
The lady in red is dancing with me cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me, it's where I wanna be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget the way you look tonight
I never will forget the way you look tonight
The lady in red
My lady in red
My lady in red
Man made the gun a sado-sexual machine
It's slaughter brings you to your knees
Man made the gun
Who is the person that is holding on?
What's in his mind, where is he looking from?
Isn't he the one we should be gazing on, contemplating on?
'Cos man made the gun
Man shapes the son
Man made the gun
While there is evil in this world
We try to save our boys and girls
Man made the bomb
That doesn't mean that we should turn them on
Or ever yearn him on
'Cos man made the gun
Man shapes the son
Last night I made love for the first time
She gave me her soul, I surely gave her mine
We lay there just crying with both joy and gloom
The joy of what we had and the pain left
Where love lays it's tune
Love tears you down
Oh turns you round
My heart bears the scars of emotional wounds
I'm scared so it's hard to give myself to you
Hurt builds a wall round our hearts it's true
The brave learn to live with the good and bad
Where love lays it's tune
Love tears you down
Oh turns you round
Oh I swear I'd do anything for you little girl
Nothing stupid or wrong but something
That'll make me true little girl
Love tears you down
Love has said goodbye again. See the road we go down
When the wind dies down come the tears
That bring a new beginning
Love has said goodbye again feel the road we go down
We are here but the way we are here is changing
There are many things here in this world
That make me laugh
Comes a dream, comes a dream
Hey Laugh Hey Laugh
Love has said goodbye again. Feel the road we go down
From the clear new year comes the dream of a new tomorrow
There are many things here in this world
Are gonna make me laugh
Comes a dream
Hey laugh, hey laugh, hey laugh
Love has said goodbye again. Feel the road we go down
From the clear new year comes the dream of a new tomorrow
From the clear new year comes the dream of a new tomorrow
From the clear new year comes the dream

Love for Sale
Billie Holiday, Cole Porter
When the only sound in the empty street,
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop.
When the moon so long has been gazing down
On the wayward ways of this wayward town.
That her smile becomes a smirk,
I go to work.
Love for sale,
Appetising young love for sale.
Love that's fresh and still unspoiled,
Love that's only slightly soiled,
Love for sale.
Who will buy?
Who would like to sample my supply?
Who's prepared to pay the price,
For a trip to paradise?
Love for sale
Let the poets pipe of love
in their childish way,
I know every type of love
Better far than they.
If you want the thrill of love,
I've been through the mill of love;
Old love, new love
Every love but true love
Fire fire
Fire fire
Fire fire fire fire
Can't put it out with water
Keeps on burning
Keeps on burning
Keeps on burning burning burning
In my soul
Your love is like a burning fire
It keeps on burning burning burning
In my soul
This love of mine it's my one desire
It's gonna set my soul on fire
It'll never grow cold
Fire fire fire
Fire fire fire
Keeps on burning burning burning
In my soul
Your love is so kind to I
So good good
It'll never grow cold
This love of mine it's my one desire
It's gonna set my soul on fire
It'll never grow cold
Fire fire
Fire fire
Fire fire fire fire
Can't put it out with water
Keeps on burning
Keeps on burning
Keeps on burning burning burning

(Sunshine in my soul)
My lost weekend
Been more now than a year
Oh I hoped not
'Cause since you put me down
My world merely spins around
Did you play me for your fool?
Oh honey, I know you didn't mean to
'Cause you tremble with a problem
You carry the weight of pain from the past
The sunshine in my soul is here to tell you
That pain doesn't have to last
The love that's in my heart is here to pray
That pain will go away
Feel it honey
Blowin' away
My lost weekend
More now than a year
Oh and it goes on
'Cause since you let me down
My world merely spins around
Did you play me for your fool
Oh honey I know you didn't mean to
'Cause you're pent up with a problem
You carry the weight of pain from the past
The sunshine in my soul is here to tell you
That pain doesn't have to last
The love that's in my heart is here to say
That pain will go away
The sunshine in my soul is here to tell you
That pain doesn't have to last no, no
The love that's in my heart is here to pray
That pain will go away
Watch that pain go away
Feel it honey
Blowin' away
Right from the start you tried to hurt me
But look at you now, behaving like a fool
A long time ago you treated me so mean but
Look at you now
Look at you now
You threw me away like litter in the gutter
I had to pick myself up and find something better
Look at you now
Look at you now
I looked so hard, I'm looking hard now
Looking at your head
Don't talk about birthdays, that don't mean a thing to me
Don't throw it in my face, it's too sweet to sting
Look at you now
Look at you now
I kept on looking hard
Lives and loves, don't tell me about it
To respond to something permanent, you've got to be strong
Mmm : lives and loves
Only you know in your heart how the pain felt
How the love made you melt, me and you love
We have a way that seems to brighten up the day
We have our problems
Is the whole world asking is it worth it?
All the lovers in the world, should they go on?
After all, they say you only live once
Lives and loves, only you know in your heart
How the pain felt, how the love made you melt
Me and you love, we have a way
That seems to brighten up the day
We have our problems
Is the whole world asking is it worth it?
All the lovers in the world, should they go on?
On and on and on
Oohhh, lives and loves, don't tell me about it
Someone always gets hurt in it, you've got to be strong
Hey: lives and loves
Only we know in our hearts how the pain felt
Oh your love made me melt, me and you love
We had a way that seemed to brighten up the day
We had our problems
Is the whole world asking is it worth it?
All the lovers in the world, should they go on?
We think we're important
We are, we're a car, we're a shell
When you hit that city road
You sure give them hell
Are you sure he's showing off
Or are you showing us yourself
Little Englander, Little Englander
In your search to be a star
You became the p***k you are
Little Englander, Little Englander
Little Englander, Little Englander
Judge me go on it amuses me
As you pickle through your tirade
You prattle on to the point of a laugh
Your Hieronymus Bosch - like soul
Betrays who you really are
Little Englander, Little Englander
Little Englander, Little Englander
Little Englander, Little Englander
Little Englander, Little Englander
Let me smash the plastic face of my country
Let me smash the plastic face of my country
My country
There came a time in my life
A time to move along
Left alone once more again
Yes I loved her
Images abound in my mind
They paint you like I love you
If I felt I had you
I'd open up my soul again
Now I just can't stand being turned on my head
And I don't need to be lonely in my bed
I don't wanna be around until the curtain falls
When she walks in the room the moonlight beams
From her face and all those dreams
Come along where lost love stole a parking space
And oh what a girl, what a lady
I'm here to thank the fool
Who gave me the woman I love
I hear you call her name
I really just can't thank you enough
These images abound in my mind
Painting me like I love you
I know I've found you
I've opened up my soul for sure
Now I just can't stand being turned on my head
And I don't need to be lonely in my bed
I don't wanna be around until the curtain falls
When she walks in the room the moonlight beams
From your face and all those dreams
Come along where lost love stole a parking space
Singing hymns on roads and pavements
Hungry jims, no-one saves them
Walkin' north, talkin' south
With firm intention
And I don't know what I'm talking about
It's firm intention
In this dreary life, with no direction
What this cause says about my life
And no direction. No direction!!!
To enter a place like an alien
To leave a place like an alien
What's this calling? What's this calling?
Firm intention
Better feel it, better believe it
Firm intention
In this dreary life, with no direction
What this cause says about my life
And no direction. No direction!!!
Watch that feeling, watch that feeling
Or I'll grab it, or I'll grab it
Watch that feeling, watch that feeling
Or I'll grab it, or I'll grab it
In this dreary life, with no direction
What this cause says about my life
And no direction.
It's lonely out on the range
That open space they call country
I wanted you, I couldn't have you
Your pills left you kind of deranged
Hopelessly caged like some monkey
I wanted you, I couldn't have you
Still into my heart you came
Here's a message from this lonely boy
Who will never feel the same
I will never feel the same
I read you while holding the page
You're open at crazy and funky
I needed you, but you weren't there
Happiness can give you the blues
Especially when it ends
I'm slowing down, can't turn you round
Into my heart you came
Here's a message from this lonely boy
Who will never feel the same
Why don't you look at the price I'm paying
Walk in, take a look inside
I've moved back the tables and the chairs to the wall
The valuable thing I've had to hide
Open up the red box
Come on open it up
Open up the red box
Come on open it up
Peer in, looking for that crasher again
You ruined Terry's party last night
An overweight greasy little man with a mouth
That opens more than now and again
Open up the red box
Come on open it up
Open up the red box
Come on open it up
Something good must have happened to you
If you would let it happen to you
If you could let it happen to you
Something good would have happened
Lopez I hate you for the state you're in
Lopez your hair it washes out, it washes in
You ropey little fat boy Lopez
Come on get lost
Open up the red box
Come on open it up
Open up the red box
Come on open it up
Something good must have happened to you
If you would let it happen to you
If you could let it happen to you
Something good would have happened
Many types came to see the picture
Many types came to see the picture
Only he had the right to come
Only he is long gone
Will or win or wicked it's written in it
Quivering in mutual aggression
Women sing remembering affection
Only he had the right to come
Only he is long gone
Will or win or wicked it's written in it
Here by the side of the book
(we beseech thee, we beseech thee)
Words and music by Hucknall
Your perfect love
Your perfect love
Oh boy, what a fight
We fought and the thing is
We were both right
Ok I'm crazy but maybe
Quiero Tenerte
Quisiera Odiarte
Quiero besante
Quiero Olvidarte
Both of us, what a sight
In the morning screaming
Believing it could be so right
'Cause you know that your mine baby, yes you are
Still you're in my dreams
Not constantly
Not constantly
Your perfect love
Your perfect love
Your perfect love
Your perfect love
Through the day and the night
Dreaming of you baby
Here with a love that feels so right
I know its hazy but maybe
Yo Quiero Amarte
Quiero Olvidarte
Debi Sacarte
Pero no puedo
But believe me enough
To be eternally
Eternally
Your perfect love
Repeat
Yo Quiero amarte
Yo Quiero Verte
Debi Sacarte
Quiero Olvidarte
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Sitting here glad as I am
With your photograph, I hold it in my hands
Aching for a vision of you, you're right in front of me
Looking at the photograph, and the way you were looking at me
I was just remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Sitting here looking at the table
It's just like a photograph
There's you and me, fruit, drink, good food
Oh the things we did, the things we did
From the shower we took to the very first look
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
You're rich, you're beautiful, you're in love
How wonderful life can be
Just the way you wanted it to be
Yet I am the colour of the night
I am the colour of the night
If you could only make it right
If you could only make it right
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I will never forget you girl
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
Love you, love you, love you girl
You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning
You got a lotta nerve
To say you gotta helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that's winning
You say I let you down
You know it's not like that
If you're so hurt
Why then don't you show it
You say you lost your faith
But that's not where it's at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it
I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You're in with
Do you take me for such a fool
To think I'd make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don't know to begin with
You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, "How are you?" "Good luck"
But you don't mean it
When you know as well as me
You'd rather see me paralyzed
Why don't you just come out once
And scream it
No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps I'd rob them
And now I know you're dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don't you understand
It's not my problem
I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is
Tell her try her best just to make it quick
Woman tend to the sick
Because there must be something she can do
This heart is broken in two
Tell her it's a case of emergency
There's a patient by the name of Mickey
Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this here thirst
My night nurse, Oh God
Oh the pain is getting worse
I don't want to see no Doc
I need attendance from my nurse around the clock
Because there's no prescription for me
She's the one, the only remedy
My night nurse
Only you alone can quench this here thirst
My night nurse
Oh the pain is getting worse
I'm hurt my love
I don't want to see no Doc
I need attendance from my nurse around the clock
Because there's no prescription for me
She's the one, the only remedy
Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this here thirst
My night nurse
Oh the pain is getting worse
I'm hurt my love
And I'm sure, no ,no doctor got a cure
My night nurse
My night nurse
So now we've got our independence
What are we gonna do with it?
Learning to play different games
Already using different names
Cause now our love bears no resemblance
To what we had before
When our love was good it was all that we saw
When our love was good it blinded us before
This real revolution baby
Where you're not below me anymore
Never never love can never be enough
Never be enough, just ain't good enough
Never never love can never be enough
Never be enough, oh no
So now we've got our independence
What are we gonna do with it?
Building the houses, claiming back the land
Burning the bridges, cleaning up your hands
Cause now our love bears no resemblance
To what we had before
Now our love has something for the future
Now our love will grow the seeds to sow this real revolution
This good revolution baby
Remembering the first time we made love

To be free
Or to feel free
The first one is a myth
Yeah to be free
Or to feel free
The first one is a myth
For to be is to feel and to be real is to see
You want more
You say you want me
He left us alone as day was dawning
You got more
Did you get me
Red sleeps after sunrise has fallen
You hard core
You're hard on me
You're dressed up at dawn way before me
Bereft as the sunlight was falling upon me
To be free
Or to feel free
The first one is a myth
To be free
Or to feel free
The first one is a myth
To be is to feel and to be real is to see
To come is so organic unbelievable
A solitary sign to open up your mind
A love that's so organic unbelievable
A solitary sign to open up your mind
I can't pronounce it
Don't even understand
The words I mean
My tongues tied
Up around it
My brain is so tired
But my heart is so warm
I wanna be with you
To talk with you
To sleep with you
Most of all
To make love to you
Last night I dreamed about it
The rooms in these hotels
Are the same around the world
I could really do without it
I'll only hate myself
If I take another girl
I wanna be with you
I wanna talk with you
I wanna sleep with you
Most of all
To make love to you
Oh if I ever get home again
If you could ever
Do the same thing too
I could open up my soul again
I have to get this message to you
I wanna be with you
I wanna talk with you
I wanna sleep with you
I wanna make love to you
Love to you
You've got that feeling inside
And you know
Turn it up, turn it so loud
It don't ever stop
No no no no
Turn it up, makes me so proud
I believe in this feeling
Well you've lost all the things
That sharing could bring
Thought you were doing right
But violence and flames
And torches and chains
Are fuelling
These new northern lights
Like prisoners working
On infertile land
Took eight years
To find out the score
If you're sick then you're lonely
Out of work then you're hungry
The sentence is four years more
Turn it up, turn it so loud
It don't ever stop
No no no no
Turn it up, makes me so proud
I believe in this feeling
Turn it up, turn it up
Right up, right up
Who says poverty and race
Can be kept in their place
By keeping it
All underground
And ruling the country
Are unfaithful husbands
Who spank little boys
Gagged and bound
There's got to be a better way
For you and for me
To turn this hypocrisy round
The growth of a nation
Cannot be achieved
By keeping
The downtrodden down
Turn it up, turn it so loud
It don't ever stop
No no no no
Turn it up, makes me so proud
I believe in this feeling
Turn it up, turn it up
Wave the Old World goodbye
It's time to say hello to the New World
Praying it will be right
That the world may soon see the light
I'll be waving, oh waving
And I'll be waiting...
Sure the old folks have tried
But now it's time for us in the New World
Pray that it will be right
That the earth don't turn out the lights
Wave the Old World goodbye
It's time to say 'goodnight' to the Old World
Let's pray that it will be right
So the world will soon see the light
I'll be waving, oh waving
And I'll be waiting, oh waiting this night
It's time to say 'goodnight' to the Old World
It's time to say 'hello' to the New World
And wave the Old World goodbye....
I'll be waving, oh waving
And I'll be waiting, oh waiting this night
It's time to say 'goodnight' to the Old World
Time to say to say 'hello' to the New World
The first time was the best time
The language you use
You gotta be careful what you will choose
And the first high was the best high
You're made of flesh and blood
Yet it makes you feel like wood
Oh the first time was the best time
The first line was the best line
It's hard to learn to beware
Spending thousands of pounds in a year
And worthwhile, is it worthwhile?
Ever wondered why you need more and more
to reach that sky?
Oh the first time was the worst time
And the sky is a gypsy
Oh, will I die with her with me?
Oh the best time is the worst crime
Oh the first time, oh may be the worst time
Oh, worthwhile, is it really worthwhile?
When the sky is a gypsy
Oh, will I die with her with me?
And the sky is a gypsy
Will I die with her with me?
Oh no, no, no, no
The first time
Maybe the worst time
Oh no...
Are you the best? Or the equal of every man on this earth?
I introspect. I can have anything that I could want
Yet I need for nothing.........Oh nothing
'Cos the spirit of life is within you
Breathing with ease through the whole of you
And deeper inside is within you, searching until we find a way
To jump out now, jumping around now
Cause sooner or later we'll be gone
What will be left is the benefit of all we've learnt before,
And what's the test? It's the dignity of every man.
You will need for nothing, oh nothing
They don't know
They don't know
Driving by two lovers
Kissing and walking, livin' out a dream
Mm hoping they will make it
Beauty out of sync in a crowded city scene
They don't know
Driving by two lovers
Hoping to make love's fantasy forever
Hmm I feel so good about them
Will fate force its hand, could it end it too soon?
I see, together they will learn so much
Have you?
Will you?
Don't let anyone tell you not to dream
Don't let anyone tell you what you think you must think
Mm and if you've never loved my friend
You may not know
That broken hearts don't play the game
They don't play the game
Riding by two lovers
Needing her love again and many times forever
Hmm hope they're gonna make it
Do you want to spend the rest of life on your own?
'Cos I see, together they will love so much
Have you?
Will you?
Don't let anyone tell you not to dream
Don't let anyone tell you not to think
Don't let anyone tell you what you think you must think
Mm and if you've never loved my friend
You may not know
That broken hearts don't play the game
They don't play the game
They don't know
Together they will learn so much
Have you?
Mm, they don't know how, oh they don't
Hope you learn how
OK, I'm the one who took you for granted
I've made my mistakes, wake up let's not
Break up
Thrill me you've got a love so strong
Thrill me you really turn me on
Thrill me wait till tomorrow night
Thrill me I'm gonna treat you right
You said that I would never let you be alone
How many times have you been on your own
Worked all the days to find the things you try
To do
If only my heart would never let you through
Because you
Thrill me you've got a love so strong
Thrill me you just can't do me wrong
Thrill me wait till tomorrow night
Thrill me I'm gonna treat you right
The truth is you've gone and left me on my own
How can I face the fact you're really gone
Love was a phase we'd have to pray to make
It true
If only my heart would've never let you through
Because you
Thrill me you've got a love so strong
Thrill me you really turn me on
Thrill me wait till tomorrow night
If I could make a wish I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Can't think of anything I need
All I need to think of you
Is the air that I breathe
My heart belongs to you
All I need to love you
Is the air that I breathe
I'm just living to love you
All I need to think of you
Is the air that I breathe
My heart belongs to you
All I need to love you
Is the air that I breathe
I'm just living to love you
Peace came upon me and it breathes in me
Don't sleep silent angel don't you sleep
All I do is think about you
Girl I just can't live without you
You know, I love you
All I do is think about you
Girl I just can't live without you
You know, I love you
All I need to think of you
Is the air that I breathe
My heart belongs to you
All I need to love you
Is the air that I breathe
In the middle of the night, when the time is right
Sexily right, I'm gonna do the right thing
Gonna move you slow, much harder though
Sexily so, I'm gonna do the right thing
Feelin' hot, I ain't never gonna stop
To get what you got, you better take what I bring
Feel it now, much harder now
More than any old how, say you feel the pain
Feel I'm getting harder now, get off your back four
Get on top more owww!
Feel I'm sinking farther down, get off your back four
Get on top more
I told you to stop, "You're sleeping out a lot"
You told me get lost, where's your understanding
I feel it now much harder than I've ever done now
I'd better do the right thing
I'm gonna do the right thing
I'm gonna do the right thing
Feel I'm getting harder now, get off your back four
Get on top more owww!
Feel I'm sinking farther down, get off your back four
Get on top more
In the middle of the night, when the time is right
Sexily right, I'm gonna do the right thing
Gonna move you slow, much harder than I've ever done now
I'm gonna do the right thing
I'm gonna do the right thing
I'm gonna do the right thing
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
You know I told you that I would never dream of leaving
If I did it right
Don't rush around
The world will wait for you
And too much time is lost
On all the things we have to do
There's nothing more important baby
Right now than you and me
So come a little closer darling
And turn the lights down low a key
And life could be so wonderful
A perfect home and a family
When you're lying next to me
I'm everything I want to be
With the world and you tonight
With the world and you tonight
With you my love
The world's a better place
And every day with you
Will hold a treasured memory
Your embrace
Could steal me forever
And nothing else matters
When I hold you in my arms
And life could be so wonderful
A perfect home and a family
'Cos you are everything to me
I'm the lock and you're the key
To the world and me tonight
To the world and me tonight
It's the world and you tonight
You are my world
With the world and me tonight
What's worth nothing else but love
Take a walk down any street now
Every one of us in our own little world
Looking for a heart with whom to beat now
What's worth nothing else but love
I'm prepared to take the heat now
What's worth more than anything else at all
To keep you firmly on your feet now
So fake cool image should be over
'Cause I long for a feeling of home
Real life, depicted in song
A loving memory
After long, home is a place where I yearn to belong
Where the land meets the sea
She'll be smiling so sweetly now
I hope that she'll be here much longer than I will
My heart loves her with every beat now
So fake cool image should be over
'Cause I long for a feeling of home
Real life, depicted in song
A loving memory
Holding back the years
Thinking of the fear I've had for so long
When somebody hears
Listen to the fear that's gone
Strangled by the wishes of pater
Hoping for the arm of mater
Get to me sooner or later
Holding back the years
Chance for me to escape from all I know
Holding back the tears
There's nothing here has grown
I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
Nothing had the chance to be good
Nothing ever could, yeah
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on so tight
I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
Nothing ever could
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
Holding, holding, holding, yeah
I say it's all I have today
Don't rush around
The world will wait for you
And too much time is lost
On all the things we have to do
There's nothing more important baby
Right now than you and me
So come a little closer darling
And turn the lights down low a key
And life could be so wonderful
A perfect home and a family
When you're lying next to me
I'm everything I want to be
With the world and you tonight
With the world and you tonight

Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Sitting here glad as I am
With your photograph, I hold it in my hands
Aching for a vision of you, you're right in front of me
Looking at the photograph, and the way you were looking at me
I was remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Sitting here looking at the table
It's just like a photograph
There's you and me, fruit, drink, good foor
Oh the things we did, the things we did
From the shower we took to the very first look
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
You're rich, you're beautiful, you're in love
How wonderful life can be
Just the way you wanted it to be
Yet I am the colour of the night
I am the colour of the night
If you could only make it right
If you could only make it right
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Don't know why I still slept on my side of the bed
The emptiness when you were gone kept ringing in my head
Told myself I really had to move along now
Stop regretting all the things I left unsaid, yeah yeah
So I tore up your letters
Took your picture off my wall
I deleted your number, it was too hard not to call
Felt a little better, told myself I'd be fine
Got to live for the good times up ahead, yeah yeah
'Cos everywhere I go
There's a love song that reminds me of you
And even though I knew I had to be strong
I was still not over you
'Cos I still believe and I could see how there's nothing left of you and me
That time is over
'Cos I'm so not over you
All my friends try to tell me better find somebody new
Why waste time being lonely when there's nothing left to lose?
Anything to get you out of my mind
I'm a fool if I thought I could forget
And I could not forget
'Cos everywhere I go
There's a love song that reminds me of you
And even though I knew I had to be strong
I was still not over you
'Cos I still believe and I could see there was nothing left of you and me
That time is over
'Cos I'm so not over you
Now I found a way to keep you there beside me
To where my love won't be denied
I can only hope to keep you there and guide me
There's no more need to hide from all this pain inside
'Cos everywhere I go
There's a love song that reminds me of you
And even though I knew I had to be strong
I was still not over you
'Cos I still believe and I could see how there's nothing left of you and me
That time is over
'Cos I'm so not over you
So not over you
That time is over baby
'Cos I'm so not over you
I remember a time and a place
Where Herbie had to hide his face
All my money was spent
And I still don't get one red cent
One black face replaced by a Base
Sown from the seeds of a white disgrace
And money TV made it all for free
Did they really do it for you and for me?
[Chorus:]
Money TV, money TV, money TV
You're so good to me
So good to me, so good to me
Money TV, money TV, money TV
Money is your baby and you know what you breed
So this skateboard
Knew a burger
Knew a soft drink
And they used to stay at home
Playing videos on computers
And they called it a life and you know what they think they were right
Money TV
Money TV, money TV, money TV
Money is your baby and you know what you breed
Dear surfers you ride as you see
Compute me with lead and your mercury
So I can eat burgers and live life on money TV
Mr Shirty you hide in your place
Sown from the seeds of a white disgrace,
'Cos money's been spent and I still don't get one red cent
[Chorus]
Money TV
Money TV, money TV, money TV
You know what you've been
You know what you've been
[Repeat to fade]
Here from the top of a mountain
I see you there
In the cool night air
Someday in my life
Fear has no reason to doubt them
They tell me so
Yet they will never know
You are here in my life
Wherever I go now
I'll follow you
And my heart will be true
I have never known someone
To stay right here
Soon you will be right here
Someday in my life
Here from the top of a mountain
I see you there
In the cool night air
Someday in my life
Storms may rage on about them
They hail and snow
Yet they will never know
You are here in my life
Wherever I go now
I'll follow you
And my heart will be true
I have never known someone
To stay right here
Soon you will be right here
Don't know why I still slept on my side of the bed
The emptiness when you were gone kept ringing in my head
Told myself I really had to move along now
Stop regretting all the things I left unsaid, yeah yeah
So I tore up your letters
Took your picture off my wall
I deleted your number, it was too hard not to call

That time is over
'Cos I'm so not over you
So not over you
That time is over baby
Say did I thank you for your kindness
It's just the way you are
The sympathetic things you say and do
Made me love you from afar
Now I need to know you and bring myself a little closer, yeah
The chance to hold you in my arms and put our love in motion
Makes me say
Stay lady, stay baby stay
Cos I would rather smile than cry
Stay lady, stay baby stay
Just the way you are with me
You ask me 'bout the dress you're wearing
I just love the way you are
Now don't you change a single thing for me
To me girl you're the star
You supported me, with love, honour and devotion, yeah
Now you can believe in me and share in loves emotions
And make me say
Stay lady, stay baby stay
Cos I would rather smile than cry
Stay lady, stay baby stay
Just the way you are with me
Stay with me!
Just the way you are with me
Stay lady, stay baby stay
Just the way you are
With love and affection
Stay lady, stay baby stay
You supported me
Anyone who ever held you
Would tell you the way I'm feeling
Anyone who ever wanted you
Would try to tell you what I feel inside
The only thing I ever wanted
Was the feeling that you ain't faking
The only one you ever thought about
Wait a minute can't you see that I
I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend
For the man who tried to hurt you
He's explaining the way I'm feeling
For all the jealousy I caused you
States the reason why I'm trying to hide
As for all the things you taught me
It sends my future into clearer dimensions
You'll never know how much you hurt me
Stay a minute can't you see that I
I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend
Too many hearts are broken
A lover's promise never came with a maybe
So many words are left unspoken
The silent voices are driving me crazy
As for all the pain you caused me
Making up could never be your intention
You'll never know how much you hurt me
Stay can't you see that I
I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
Something got me started
You know that I will love you
Lately since we parted
I truly know that I need you
I'd give it all up for you
(Yes I would)
Totally broken-hearted
Guilty of what I did to you
Lately since we parted
I truly know that I need you
I'd give it all up for you
(Yes I would)
Anyone would cry over you
Too bad if they do
But baby I could try if you want me to
To help you let yourself go
Any man would die for you
But they're mad if they do
But baby let me get closer to you
So I can let you know
I got something for you
The joy of letting you know what you have done for me
Loving you has smiled on the face of a lonely man
Loving you has pride in the place of our home again
Loving you has smiled on the face of a lonely man
Loving you has pride in the place of our home again
Smile on the face of a lonely man
Pride in the place of our home again
Smile on the face
Pride in the place
When I get tired I'm gonna try
Let you wonder why
If I could make a wish I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat no books to read
Making love with you, has left me peaceful warm inside
What more could I ask
There's nothing left to be desired
Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
Just to have you now
All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want
Peace came upon me and it breathes in me
Don't sleep silent angel don't you sleep
Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you just to have you now
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want
Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
I thank you for the things you have shown me
Thank you for the love of my life
So far anyway now it's really really over
O God I really thank you baby
Most of all I thank you for your love
Like good people should do anyway
I thank you
I really thank you
All of my life
I really thank you
My souvenirs I hold them and remember
All the days for the rest of my life
Truth is I miss you in all the ways you will imagine
See me feel me I wanna say
Most of all I thank you for your love
As I look into your eyes I see the sunrise
The light behind your face helps me realise
Will we sleep and sometimes love until the moon shines
Maybe the next time I'll be yours and maybe you'll be mine
I don't know if it's even in your mind at all
It could be me
At this moment in time
Is it in your mind at all
It should be me, it could be me
Forever
Wandering through life will love come home to you
And the love you want forever, will they be true to you
Will we sleep and sometimes love until the moon shines
Maybe the next time I'll be yours and maybe you'll be mine
I don't know if it's even in your mind at all
It could be me
At this moment in time
Love's indescribable
It should be me, it could be me
Forever
Easy, ready, willing, over time
Where does it stop where do you dare me to draw the line
You've got the body now you want my soul
Something deep inside of me
That when it comes it won't bring too much prolong
I don't know how hard it'll be when I suffer
Affection is a start for me, I hope it's gonna move on
This time it's gonna be hard for me, I don't wanna suffer
I fight it hard when it tears my heart
Oh when I want someone I gotta have someone
And when I come to the conclusion
So scared I don't want to fall
Please don't make me suffer
Please don't make me suffer
Did he break his broken heart for you
Oh no mother, he never loved a single other person
This time it's gonna be hard for me, I don't want to suffer
I fight it hard when it tears my heart
Oh when I want someone I gotta have someone
And when I come to the conclusion
So scared I don't want to fall
Please don't make me suffer
Please don't make me suffer
I'm not hard enough, I'm not strong enough
Wave the Old World goodbye
It's time to say hello to the New World
Praying it will be right
That the world may soon see the light
I'll be waving, oh waving
And I'll be waiting...
Sure the old folks have tried
But now it's time for us in the New World
Pray that it will be right
That the earth don't turn out the lights
Wave the Old World goodbye
It's time to say 'goodnight' to the Old World
Let's pray that it will be right
So the world will soon see the light
I'll be waving, oh waving
And I'll be waiting, oh waiting this night
It's time to say 'goodnight' to the Old World
It's time to say 'hello' to the New World
And wave the Old World goodbye....
I'll be waving, oh waving
And I'll be waiting, oh waiting this night
It's time to say 'goodnight' to the Old World
Time to say to say 'hello' to the New World
And wave the Old World goodbye... tonight
High fives, truly night jive
Living in the night time
Soul man, golden old man
Weathering the time sands
This whole rhythm gives me what I need
Praying hard as your lifetime
Praying hard as your lifetime
Praying hard as your lifetime goes by
White lines fooling my kind
Living for the night time
Hold hands, home in old land
Weathering the time sands
This whole rhythm gives me what I need
Praying hard as your lifetime
Praying hard as your lifetime
Praying hard as your lifetime goes by
My shyness, my misunderstood
My misunderstanding
My destiny is grounded, by confounding weights
As Hollywood greats inspire me to keep my body whole
Since I've been the master of low expectations
Aren't you humans supposed to look like me?
Quotes like "buddy I blew you up
Then gave you a band aid"
Pseudo spiritual kebababallah's we can all be fooled
It's the death of the cool
The death of the cool
We got fakirs, false prophets and fools
And phoney saint saviours
Fame's pick me up gets drowned in
Pop's twinkle and dreams torn at the seams
It can leave you with nothing left at all
Since we're the believers with tall expectations
Can't you humans come have a laugh with me?
Quotes like "buddy I screwed you up, made you the new slave
The fastest growing guru in the market place of happiness
We can all be saved
"Buddy I blew you up, gave you a band aid"
Do you really need to learn to be a human?
We can all be shamed
Its the death of the cool
The death of the cool
Quotes like "buddy I blew you up, gave you a condom"
Do you really need to learn to save a human?
We could all be blamed
Buddy I blew you up
The death of the cool
[repeat]
I left you on the debris
At the Sunday morning market
You were sorting through the odds and ends
You was looking for a bargain
I heard your footsteps at the front door
In that old familiar love song
Cause you knew you'd find me waiting there
At the top of the stairs
I went there and back
Just to see how far it was
And you, you tried to tell me
But I had to learn for myself
There's more trouble at the depot
With the general workers union
And you said they'll never change a thing
Well, they won't fight and they're not working
Oh you was my hero
Now you are my good friend
I've been there and back
And I know how far it is
But I left you on the debris
Now we both know you got no money
And I wonder what you would have done
Watching love drifting away
And I feel like I'm someone else
The hurting is rough
Long are the days
And you have hurt me enough
You're scared to be loved
You know that's your way
Your youth has made you too tough
You're hurting for love in so many ways
The truth has hurt you enough
I read a book
And it's your face
Fake: it's your face now
Still my love for you was no mistake
Fake: I will always love you
Fake
Hoping for love
Day after day
And it's always someone else
The hurting is rough
Long are the days
And you have hurt me enough
You're burning your hair
On your cigarette, oh baby
Turning your nose up
At the clothes your girlfriend wears
I don't care
You've got that look again
The one I hoped I had when I was a lad
Your face is just beaming
Your smile got me boasting, my pulse roller- coastering
Any way the four winds that blow
They're gonna send me sailing home to you
Or I'll fly with the force of a rainbow
The dream of gold will be waiting in your eyes
You know I'd do most anything you want
Hey I, I try to give you everything you need
I can see that it gets to you
I don't believe in many things
But in you I do
Her faith is amazing
The pain that she goes through contained in
The hope for you
Your whole world has changed
The years spent before seem more cloudy
Than blue
In many ways your baby's controlling
When you haven't laid down for days
For the poor no time to be thinking
They're too busy finding ways
You know I'd do most anything you want
Hey I, I try to give you everything you need
I'll see that it gets to you
I don't believe in many things
But in you I do
You know I'd do most anything you want
Every day I, try to give you everything you
Need
We'll always be there for you
I don't believe in many things
You've got that look again
The one I hoped I had when I was a lad
Your face is just beaming
Your smile got me boasting, my pulse roller-coastering
Anyway the four winds that blow
They're gonna send me sailing home to you
Or I'll fly with the force of a rainbow
The dream of gold will be waiting in your eyes
You know I'd do most anything you want
Hey I, I try to give you everything you need
I can see that it gets to you
I don't believe in may things
But in you I do
Her faith is amazing
The pain that she goes through contained in the hope for
you
Your whole world has changed
The years spent before seem more cloudy than blue
In many ways your baby's controlling
When you haven't laid down for days
For the poor no time to be thinking
They're too busy finding ways
You know I'd do most anything you want
Hey I, I try to give you everything you need
I'll see that it gets to you
I don't believe in many things
But in you I do
You know I'd do most anything you want
Everyday I, I try to give you everything you need
We'll always be there for you
I don't believe in many things
But in you I do
How long are we gonna last
How long everybody has to ask
Freedom to joke
Freedom to hope
Freedom to win
Freedom to be in
How long are we gonna last
How long are we gonna have to ask
Freedom to joke
Freedom to hope
Freedom to win
Freedom to be in
Drowning In My Own Tears
Words & music Henry Glover
It brings a tear into my eyes
When I begin to realise
I've cried so much since you've been gone
I guess I'll drown in my own tears
I'm sitting crying just like a child
My pouring tears are running wild
If you don't think you'll be home soon
I guess I'll drown in my own tears
Cos I know it's true
Into each life some rain must fall
I'm so blue here without you
It keeps on raining and pouring
Why can't you come on home
So I won't be all alone
If you don't think you'll be home soon
Alright, you're right
Let's talk it over now
Talk it over now
I'm wrong, you're gone
So you're serious
Really serious
You're saying I'm insane
Oh that craziness
Craziness
I'm trying to find
Its real meaning
Insanity
When I get home again
Everything we said
It seemed to holds us
Back again, again
When I get home then
We try to make it better
In the same
Damn way again, again
So long, you're gone
You're really leaving me, leaving
There's no prize for goodbyes
No joy either, either
You're saying I'm insane
Oh that's craziness
Craziness
I'm trying to find
Its real meaning
Insanity
When I get home again
Everything we said
It seemed to hold us
Back again, again
When I get home then
We try to make it better
In the same
Damn way again, again
Enough
I've had enough
Ev'ry time we say goodbye I die a little
Ev'ry time we say goodbye I wonder why a little
Why the Gods above me who must be in the know
Think so little of me they allow you to go
When you're near there's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere waiting to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange The change from major to minor
Ev'ry time we say goodbye.
When you're near there's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere waiting to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange The change from major to minor
Driving down an endless road
Taking friends or moving alone
Pleasure at the fairground on the way
It's always friends that feel so good
Let's make amends like all good men should
Pleasure at the fairground on the way
Walk around, be free and roam
There's always someone leaving alone
Pleasure at the fairground on the way
And I love the thought of coming home to you
Even if I know we can't make it
I love the thought of giving hope to you
Just a little ray of light shining through
Love can bend and breathe alone
Until the end it finds you a home
Don't care what the people may say
It's always friends that feel so good
Let's make amends like all good men should
Pleasure at the fairground on the way
And I love the thought of coming home to you
Even if I know we can't make it
I love the thought of giving hope to you
