Most In Love
04:01

...and when I see you in the middle of the day
I got so many words I don't know what to say
I make a start - my heart just can't understand
How come I've gone a whole morning without holding your hand?
But now you're here, you're near, it's inexpressibly cool
That you can spend some time with this jabbering fool
Who doesn't know how it happened, doesn't know if it's true,
But I believe I could believe it if you believe it too
You're the most in love I've ever been
Did I wait too long (did I wait too long)
Without a heart on my sleeve (heart, heart, heart on my sleeve)
But that was then, and now, although I try to forget
You're still a night-sight vision - nothing's happening yet
"I want your love" - "I need your love" - I don't know who said it first
But we're the ultimate love song, and you're the first verse!
You're the rock steady chorus and `the bit in between'
You showed me love-box heaven - you're a rhythm machine!
And though I go, to show that I can make it alone,
Inside I'll always be dying and that's how I know
You're the most in love I've ever been (the most I've ever been)
Did I wait too long (did I wait too long)
Without a heart on my sleeve (heart, heart, heart on my sleeve)
Since you told my heart there's no part for me
My love made these words to show you
Just how much I don't trust the luck that you
Told me - ........................................(would bring me happiness)
That's what you told me…………… (we'd sing the same address)
That's what you told me.... ……..… (won't be away too long)
that's what you told me ……………(ooh, love is the hardest song)
You're the most in love I've ever been
Did I wait too long (baby says I waited too long)
Without a heart (heart, heart) on my sleeve (I'm sighing in my sleep)
Make the most of love - take a chance and fly
Every broken heart (remember every broken heart..... is another)
Is another star, star, star in the sky (we are the starry sky)..You're the most...etc.

Fool For A Lover
03:31
|
|||
|
So my whole world falls apart again
I'm the last one to know you're leaving, though you made it plain
Now as the music starts
I won't show you how I feel, another day another deal
Another taste of how unreal it is to part
Sorrow echoes in my heart.... ..I wanted to tell you -
But I waited to tell you my name, but now I can't hold back
You've got a beautiful clown and a fool for a lover
I hated the flirt I became, but now I can't go back
She made a beautiful sound, but she knew we were lovers
She's the kind of girl who knows your style
And they tell me she's always with you grinning that sinful smile
I guess you know your mind, I was gambling - I was beat
Now you ignore me on the street,
And you're embarrassed when we meet - you look away
there must be more that I can say.....I wanted to tell you
But I waited to tell you my name, and now I can't hold back
You've got a beautiful clown, and a fool for a lover
I hated the flirt I became, but now I can't go back
She made a beautiful sound, but she knew we were lovers
We were lovers we were lovers
We were lovers we were lovers
I waited to tell you my name, but now I can't hold back
You've got a beautiful clown, and a fool for a lover
I hated the flirt I became, but now I can't go back
She made a beautiful sound, but she knew we were lovers…
We were lovers we were lovers
We were lovers we were lovers

Ball And Chain
04:00
|
|||
|
I don't wanna be in love again tonight -
I'm in the middle of my second flight
I don't wanna be your lover but I might; I'm blaming you,
I'm calling you
I know others get in love again alright,
you make it easy; do I think or fight
I don't wanna be in love again tonight - I don't know what I can do....
You weigh like a ball and chain, you weigh me down every day
the weight, the weight, always, is the dream all I can take?
I guess I knew it would be you again I'm on my way I'm on my way
So take all your toys and play I'd only get in your way, your way
your games, your games I could leave, but all the same,
I don't believe I could be true again I guess I'll stay
Now the wonders of our rush against the tide
seem like a ticket to `request denied'
You said `one lover' - one lover must have lied,
you made it true, I wanted you
Now I thunder and I thud against the sky,
I breathe my anger at the question: `why'
Do I discover another thin disguise you thought I'd never see through?
You weigh like a ball and chain, you weigh me down every day
the weight, the weight, always, is the dream all I can take,
I guess I knew it would be you again I'm on my way I'm on my way
So take all your toys and play I'd only get in your way, your way
your games, your games I could leave, but all the same,
I don't believe I could be true again I guess I'll stay
Lonely in love, lonely in love... Win or lose?
You weigh like a ball and chain, you weigh me down every day
the weight, the weight, always, is the dream all I can take,
I guess I knew it would be you again I'm on my way I'm on my way
So take all your toys and play I'd only get in your way, your way
your games, your games I could leave, but all the same,
I don't believe I could be true again I guess I'll stay.

Young Love
04:34
|
|||
|
Though it's `love everlasting' - while the heat burns through
There is one thing you've got to understand
I cannot say forever I will be with you
But I'll always be holding your hand
Though it seems we've been sighing all eternity
I can't say that we're never going to part
This minute won't be dying when you turn from me
'Cos you'll always be a beat in my heart
Young love what's happening here
Young love the vanishing years
Young love we're back in the dream
Young love like only sixteen
Young love they don't understand
Young love just holding your hand
Young love has spoken the truth
Young love (it's just the secret) it's the secret of youth
There are some loves, I know, that find a way through time
But for us it's too wonderful to last
My heart just can't believe it while it's happening
And my soul won't believe it when it's passed
I had so much to say about the things you asked
But there's one tells of everything we've done
It doesn't really matter that the years go past
There are only young lovers - that's what we've become!
Young love can go to the moon
Young love it's over too soon
Young love it's naked and kind
Young love two spirits entwined
Young love we're back on the beach
Young love that no one can reach
Young love two fools for a day
Young love just happened that way
Young love it's blind and it's good
Young love it dies when it should
Oye mi corazon, mi querida....
escucha las palabras mi vida canta....solamente para ti...
solamente para ti...

Tomorrow Night
03:42
|
|||
|
Over the rainbow, over the hill, over the top on overkill
Nothing familiar, nowhere to go, the gig was a gas - you'll never know!
In the heat of the moment it faded away
It often depends such an awful lot on what you say, what you say
You will be there by tomorrow night,
I will touch you when I think it's right
Don't deceive yourself, the spark is bright;
we can make it shine tomorrow night
Now, we're gonna get no-where by jumping the gun,
or trying to race before we run
Though I know that you want me, I've heard it before;
I don't have the feeling any more
When I'm ready for action I'll give you the call:
It's gonna be heaven tomorrow night or not at all, not at all
You will be there by tomorrow night,
I will touch you when I think it's right
Don't deceive yourself, the spark is bright;
we can make it shine tomorrow night
tomorrow night, tomorrow night.......
You will have to find your own way there,
you will have to find your own way there...
I was trying to tell you to button your tongue,
You shouldn't believe you're the number one
There was somebody with me, it's all over now,
but none of your business anyhow
You can take it or leave it, just see if I care,
'cause nothing can hurt me:
I learned about your love affair, love affair...
You will be there by tomorrow night,
I will touch you when I think it's right
Don't deceive yourself, the spark is bright;
we can make it shine tomorrow night
You will be there by tomorrow night,
I will touch you when I think it's right
Don't deceive yourself, the spark is bright;
we can make it shine tomorrow night

Any Day Now
04:32
|

You hold your head so fine, I can't think how this fits into logical time -
Hold up honey - I'll pretend to win a few now
Got a world in my heart, but you had a good start and it's true now,
life favours you
I can feel the words you say, I kind of love it any day, I was almost right,
But no, not quite, I start all over again -
I can't believe that a love so right
comes over me when you hold me tight
Oh, I ought to see that, any day now, I could believe in loving you
I ought to see that anyway now, there ain't a think that I can do
I ought to be more dedicated to letting love and light shine through
I ought to see that anyway now, I could be loving you, loving you
You know the pleasure signs; you go to loving like a garden of lights -
No-one's coming, I could hesitate, but who does?!
All the work in your arms, all the passion and harmony - tuned love,
Why waste this moon?
I can feel the words you say, I kind of love it any day,
I was almost right, but no, not quite,
I start all over again - I can't believe that a love so right
Comes over me when you hold me tight
Oh, I ought to see that any day now I could believe in loving you
I ought to see that anyway now, there ain't a think that I can do
I ought to be more dedicated to letting love and light come through
I ought to see that anyway now, I could be loving you, loving you
Any day now, any way now
Any day now, any way now....

Hold Tighting
05:32
|

You said enough baby, I don't want to see you go so low - this goes on and on
You don't want to go to heaven, you'll be too busy in paradise
Hold Tighting, for all time after time after you told me I was deep in the tragedy too; moving along with the moment - in tune....
Hold on tight, you're all right - with all this fever I've forgotten where I put my mind, but it can't be bad as that sane sadness in you
And it's all that I can say, love will always be this way
And if you didn't know some heart ache, You wouldn't know when love was getting started
lighten up your load,
You said enough baby, I'm gonna
I don't want to see you go so low lighten up your load
This goes on and on brighten up
You don't want to go to heaven, your skies, I'm gonna
You'll be too busy in paradise brighten up your eyes
Hold Tighting
For all
Time and again I will defend you
from the few dreams that damage your soul
You can be music and rhythm - don't go
Hold on tight, your own light is all you need
To see the qualities you put in life
I remember the strange planet we knew.....
This is all that I can say, life won't always feel this way
'Cause I'm doing your bad time baby,
Giving you back the love you might have wasted...
lighten up
You said enough baby, your load, I'm gonna
I don't want to see you go so low lighten up your load
This goes on and on brighten up
You don't want to go to heaven your skies, I'm gonna
You'll be too busy in paradise brighten up your eyes
Hold Tighting for all time, all time
Hold Tighting for all time

Walk To Rio
03:14
|
|||
|
This ain't all we can do: "another day, another dollar"
Beneath ordinary skies, we dream about a way out
We're outrageous neighbours
we live for carnival
We're all Space Invaders
half way to the moon
and we're brave creators
Worked all year long, "is this costume me?"
"Oh! It's got to be!".................. "And that's you!"
what a rhythm, what a figure what a rhythm, what a figure...
Can't samba fast that's not for me-o,
can't rumba long if the rhythm isn't right
Can't hardly stand but I could walk to Rio -
merengue magic and mambo tonight
Is it worth all this work for one heavy celebration
Of life no longer bleak, if only for a day-o
Bet yo' ass - it's worth it:
y'might just make samba queen!
Bet yo' ass - it's perfect it
our home made fantasy
Bet yo ass - it's working
Then all life long, you can make the beat,
you take the heat - samba's kool!
what a rhythm what a figure, what a rhythm, what a figure-
Can't samba fast that's not for me-o,
can't rumba long if the rhythm isn't right
Can't hardly stand but I could walk to Rio -
merengue magic and mambo tonight
Can't samba fast that's not for me-o,
can't rumba long if the rhythm isn't right
Can't hardly stand but I could walk to Rio,
Merengue-rengue magic and mambo tonight

Feel It
04:48
|
|||
|
Don't tease, baby - I can't stay outside your window
If I don't freeze, maybe I'll wait outside your door
Hope this don't mean I've got to face what I've got coming?
Thought our love would live so long - go on and on
I thought nothing could go wrong - so I can't believe you say that we're nothing from today
Oh, I feel it in the wind, and I've seen it in your soul
It's the kind of hated moment when lovers lose control (lovers lose control of love)
There's no answer to your question about the millions who have cried
But for everyone with loving there's someone who's denied
Don't, please, wake me, that way it's all a bad dream, hold me baby, so easy like before
Then I won't be contemplating where your love is
Won't be wondering where it's gone, well not too long, I'll just sigh and carry on
And you want me to behave like I'm dignified and brave
oh, I feel it in the wind, I've seen it in your soul, it's the kind of hated moment when lovers lose control
There's no answer to your question about the millions who have cried
But for everyone with loving there's someone who's denied
Oh, I'd second that emotion, but that emotion's second best
Now I'd like to trade this love thing for a little happiness
Oh - and deeper than the sea is my silence and despair; all my life I've looked for heaven
Of course, its closed when I get there
So I don't believe in sex, and I don't believe in love, I'm gonna hide my face in....blind my faith in ......
Find the grace in ...something.... As simple as a hug
I was simply not prepared for the bombshell when it came
Now I know there's no tomorrow - oh God, I hope I've gone insane...
But I still feel it in the wind, and I've seen it in your soul
It's a time when fate has spoken, but the dice refuse to roll
Oh, I feel it in the wind..........

This Is True
04:11
|
|||
|
It was a hell of a lonely night, the day I learned the news
I’d say it isn’t right - no loser - no fight, and no getting through
I’ve seen it all - the sudden rise and fall of honey-pots like you
Whose anger is a game to make loving pain for those who want you
I’ll never come again……
This is true - face facts, I won’t come back for you
- take back the heart-attack - you knew I won’t be coming back for you
….and I can never recall a time when I was so unsure
You say there isn’t time or room in your mind for me any more
I’ve been reborn – another blinded pawn – the summertime is through
It’s sad for me to say, I leave you today – it’s all I can do…
I’ll never come again…
This is true –face facts, I won’t come back for you -
Take back the heart-attack - you knew I won’t be coming back for
you... are sorrow, you are sight – you are vision,
you are night – you are breathing
You are hollow, you are light – you are weak and you are right:
I am leaving – and I’ll never come again…
This is - true facts, I won’t come back for you -
Take back the heart-attack - you knew I won’t be coming back for you –
For you - for you - for you
This is - true facts, I won’t come back for you -
Take back the heart-attack - you knew I won’t be coming back for you –
For you – for you - for you

Strange Love
04:07
|
|||
|
I've got a strange love - I've really caught it,
I'm haunted by a strange love, alive and free
- with standing cliffs by a wind-blown track,
an august dream, and the surfers are back,
strange love, shining on me.....
but I won't tell anybody - I won't even invite myself!
the days roll 'round, I see order and light all around
I won't tell anybody how the secrets of life are found,
the waves roll down, I will always remember the sound
another day comes, I work in the market,
I wanna buy ray-gun! - so I can breathe!
"you can't do this!", and "you can't do that!"
- I staked my soul - I can never go back........
strange love, stop blinding me -
I won't tell anybody, I won't even invite myself !
the days roll 'round, I see order and light all around
I won't tell anybody how the secrets of life are found,
the waves roll down, I will always remember the sound..........
I'm getting lonely now, for you, my secret island
I'm getting lonely knowing you're so far away...
yes, I remember a thousand beaches for getting lost on
-they say, "you can fly away, you can fly away, you fly away"
and now already the lonely feelings are getting stronger,
but I won't, no, I won't, I won't tell...
. ...the days roll 'round, I see order and light all around, I won't tell anybody
how the secrets of life are found, the waves roll down,
I will always remember the sound..........
I won't tell anybody, I won't even invite myself...(who made the web of life? Let Him behold me)
I won't tell anybody, how the secrets of life are found (who made the web of life? Tell Her to show me)
I won't tell anybody........
