Would You Believe

Ba bababa ba ba ba bababa ba ba bababa bababa 
baba baba ba baba ba baba ba baba ba 
I wouldn't change my mind now
I wouldn't waste my time now
I should erase my mind of you

Would you believe
I loved you yesterday
I had the words to say 
My speech was all planned out

Would you believe
I had so much to say 
I loved you every way 
My mind was all made up

I wouldn't change my mind now
I wouldn't waste my time now
I should erase my mind of you

Would you believe 
I loved you more each day 
I loved you more that way
But now it just can't last

Would you believe 
I had so much to say 
I loved you every way 
But now it's just the past

doo di lee x 5

Would you believe 
I loved you more each day 
I loved you more that way
But now it just can't last

Would you believe
I had so much to say 
I loved you every way 
But now it's just the past

London Social Degree

Yes I went to school when I was a youngster 
But you can keep you maths and GCE's 
I have found a test that makes me think better 
It's the London social degree 
If you pass it and you see a new meaning girl 
You won't have to go to church to believe
You will see the love that makes you think better
It's the London social degree

Spreading love around the world 
To every one who wants to feel love baby
Don't fight baby
Tell your mum and dad and every one 
That's thinking bad to stop now baby
Love now baby

If you pass it and you see a new meaning girl 
You won't have to got to church to believe
You will see the love that makes you think better
It's the London social degree

Spreading love around the world 
To every one who wants to feel love baby
Don't fight baby
Tell your mum and dad and every one 
That's thinking bad to stop now baby
Love now baby

Yes I went to school when I was a youngster 
But you can keep you maths and GCE's 
I have found a test that makes me think better 
It's a London social degree 
It's a London social degree 
It's a London social degree

Being Happy

Some sweet child is waiting 
For a time to think and love 
I don't need no country 
I don't want to walk in step left right 
Would it seem so funny
If I said I didn't want to fight

Being Happy
I'm being Happy
I'm being Happy
Oh ah

It's no use me talking
You must be a better man than I
While your playing soldiers 
I'm looking up at the sky . . but I'm

Being Happy
I'm being Happy
I'm being Happy
Oh ah

Some sweet child is waiting 
For a time to think and love

Always On My Mind

See her standing there 
Can't compare 
Always on my mind

Couldn't leave her now 
Don't know how

Makes me speak out her name

Make's me cry wanna cry

Like the food i eat
When I sleep 
She's always on my mind

And when she's not there 
This I swear
She's always on my mind

Every week's just the same 
Makes me speak out her name 
I need her now 
Like the sun in the sky 
Make's me cry wanna cry 
I'll need her till I die

Always on my mind 
Always on my mind 
Always on my mind 
Always on my mind etc

Daytime Girl

Every hour
Watch her pass
Picking flowers 
Dropping love that falls on the grass 
Don't turn now 
She is love
Kiss the ground 
She has come from way up above

Kiss her now 
And you'll stop all your crying
Kiss her now 
And you'll feel what I'm feeling right now

You know 
She's the day time 
Night time 
Rag time girl
Yes she's the day time 
Night time 
Rag time girl

Don't turn round 
She is love
Kiss the ground 
She has come from way up above

Kiss her now 
And you'll stop all your crying
Kiss her now 
And you'll feel what I'm feeling right now

You know 
She's the day time 
Night time 
Rag time girl
Yes she's the day time 
Night time 
Rag time girl

You know 
She's the day time 
Night time 
Rag time girl
Yes she's the day time 
Night time

Umbrella Song

When there's rain in the evening 
I like walking around the streets that shine 
Hoping that I will see her 
Hoping that her umbrella will catch mine

Then I could walk with her 
And I could talk to her 
We'd love forever umbrella brella time

Even if it was morning 
And there wasn't a single cloud up high
I would take my umbrella 
Just in case she would stop me wondering why

Then I could walk with her 
And I could talk to her 
We'd love forever umbrella brella time

Brella times 
Umbrella times 
Brella times etc

Come Again

I kissed your face and then I said goodbye
I never realised that you would cry

Love is worth all the sad things it brings you
Never mind the pain
I said that love would, cut and come again

Please let me have another chance with you
Please take me back I love you yes I do

Love is worth all the sad things it brings you
Never mind the pain
I said that love would, cut and come again

Mmm

Happiness Song

If your day is turning grey 
And you feel you could cry
If there's nothing else to say 
And their words seem like lies

Take a walk where it's nice and breezy 
Take it easy come on 
And sing a happiness song 
To sing a happiness song
Will help you carry on hold on

If you feel a little down 
And your head isn't clear 
Try and turn yourself around 
Brush away all your tears

Take a walk where it's nice and breezy 
Take it easy come on 
And sing a happiness song 
To sing a happiness song
Will help you carry on come on

la la la . . etc

Girl From New York

She came from New York in the summer
We went to the zoo
She said that London was lovely
We had a good view

I called her at four in the morning
She came to the phone
We met in a park as the dawn came
I picked her a rose

Some how we found the time
To love each others mind
Peanut butter's fine

She came from New York in the summer
We went to the zoo
She said that London was lovely
We had a good view

And now she's gone away
I'm waiting for the day
When she will be mine

I called her at four in the morning
She came to the phone
We met in a park as the dawn came
I picked her a rose

It Brings Me Down

I wander through the night time 
There's no one I can call mine
It brings me down 
It brings me down 
There's no one looking at me 
Because there's nothing to see
It brings me down 
It brings me down

Because I think far too much 
And there's no one as such 
who believes in the dreams I have to dream

It brings me down

I wander through the night time 
There's no one I can call mine
It brings me down 
It brings me down

There's no one looking at me 
because there's nothing to see
It brings me down 
It brings me down

Because I think far too much 
And there's no one as such 
Who believes in the dreams I have to dream

It brings me down

Gypsy

And everybody loves a gypsy,
When they are young and dreams pass swiftly,
And everybody's free to roll home,
Hitch up a horse or take the road on.

Out in the fields to find a place
And raise a family,
Up in the hills where the north wind blows,
That's where I'll be. 
And everybody loves a gypsy,
When they are young and dreams pass swiftly,
And everybody's free to roll home,
Hitch up a horse or take the road on.

Out in the fields to find a place
And raise a family,
Up in the hills where the north wind blows,
That's where I'll be.

Well here we go
We'll get this show on the road
I don't want to stand still
The straight'n narrow
Is the way 
It's not the easiest way

And everybody loves a gypsy,
When they are young and dreams pass swiftly,
And everybody's free to roll home,
Hitch up a horse or take the road on.

Traveller's Joy

Sailing on the back of a dream,
I'm gonna fly on a picture I've seen,
Feeling that I cannot avoid,
Ain't nothin' else like,
A traveller's joy. 
Got my paddle,
Fishing tackle too,
Single saddle,
I'll ride in my canoe,
I can make it, 
Go there and back again,
Like a travelling man.

Got my paddle,
And fishing tackle too,
Single saddle,
I'll ride in my canoe,
I can make it, 
Go there and back again,
Like a travelling man.

Sailing on the back of a dream,
I'm gonna fly on a picture I've seen,
Feeling that I cannot avoid,
Ain't nothin' else like,

Stay Awhile

Stay awhile
Rest your head upon the sofa,
Closer to mine.
Drink some wine,
Let me fill your glass a little,
Higher this time. 
I have always wanted you to know,
Now that I'm feeling confident you wanna go home.

Stay awhile,
Even if its just to see the,
Sun breaks the sky,
Dream awhile,
Rest your head upon the sofa,
Closer to mine.

Night time seems to make every road the same,
Sunshine and you can go the way you came.

Night time seem to make every road the same,
Sunshine and you can go the way you came.

Sometimes

Sometimes I look you in the eye,
Sometimes I don't,
Sometimes I think I know you well,
Sometimes I do and I don't,
Sometimes I do and it shows. 
You ask me do I like your hat,
With those deep blue eyes,
Well I'll have have to come back to you on that,
Sometimes it makes you look fine,
Sometimes I hate telling lies.

Well I get confused,
By your give and take 
Well thanks a lot,
But these debts and dues, 
Keep on spinning round my head because,

Sometimes I look you in the eye,
Sometimes I don't,
Sometimes I think I know you well,
Sometimes I do and I don't,
Sometimes I do and it shows.

Kew

I feel like a boat on a river,
Could you pick me up at Kew,
I'm finding it so hard so be like me,
So I might as well be like you. 
And there's only one lock between us 
We'll wait for the sluice gate to rise
But if we hit any more railway sleepers
I'm gonna jump over the side.

Oh the river
Should be walking the plank
Like a friend of mine.
Oh the river
Have I really been drinking from 9 til 5

Now I ain't as cold as I should be
Walking back over the bridge
It could be the brandy inside of me
My body is lying again

Oh the river
Have I really been drinking from 9 til 5
Oh the river
Should be walking the plank
Like a friend of mine.

And there's only one lock between us 
We'll wait for the sluice gate to rise
But if we hit any more railway sleepers
I'm gonna jump over the side.

That's alright

Oh the river
Should be walking the plank
like a friend of mine. 
Oh the river
Have I really been drinking from 9 til 5

Hopeless, Helpless

Hopeless eyes
Helpless smile
Don't you worry 
Lift you head up high,
It's the new life you feel. 
Under hill 
Over stone
Nothing's real yet still you want to roam
It's the new life you feel

You'll see the laughter gleaming 
Brightly in his eyes
Just like white horses running free,
Running wild.

He has been,
Now he has gone
Still you want to sing the same old song
It's the new life you feel.

Hopeless eyes
Helpless smile
Don't you worry, 
Lift you head up high,
It's the new life you feel.

You'll see the laughter gleaming, 
Brightly in his eyes
Just like white horses running free,
Running wild.

White Lightning

Please Mummy please
Don't take me to the dentist
I've got a toothache but that's O.K. 
Give me some time
And tonight in my bedroom
I'll work it loose like I always do.

Mummy please don't take me

One little boy
In a dentist chair
Heard a hundred angels flying passed him
What a gas, sitting there.

The same little boy
With a few more years 
Took a sniff of this
A taste of that . .What a drag
Nothing there

And then one day he saw you walk.
And heard you didn't talk.
Saw the writing on the wall.
It didn't matter any more

White lightning
It's got nothing on you.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Oh It didn't shine like you Lord.

White lightning .
Way out in the blue.
With a million angels singing.
Oh it didn't sound like you Lord.

Count up to ten
When I tell you to breath in
I will take out 
Everything while your sleeping

Colours will fuse
In with heavenly music
When you awake
It will have a new meaning

This Song Is Green

Of this Man I must
Sing a song
Or turn to dust
Cause I know eventually
He will sing to me

Whispering through the leaves
Whispering songs of silent bliss
Such a love I can't resist
And it is both you and me
And the stars above
Whispering through the leaves
Whispering songs of love

But this song is green
Cause the words I've never seen
And it's just another light
Breaking out the day bringing on the night
What it is I cannot say
And the tune I cannot play
But I know there is a key
Lift your eyes and see
It's reality
And this song is green

Forgive And Forget

If I ever step onto the moon
And I'm the same
Nothing has changed
Well then there'll have to be you

If I ever wake up from this dream
And it's the same
I'm back again
Well then there'll have to be you

Close encounters with celestial showers
And brushing away the light years
I didn't expect any bed made of flowers
But I didn�t think I would find you here

Till I learn to forgive and forget
I'll stay the same
Nothing will change
But then there'll have to be you.

This Boy's In Love Again

Seen you before but I don't know where or when,
Was it at school or the cafe on the corner there,
Talking to myself in the pouring rain,
This boy says that he's in love again,
This boy says that he's in love again.

Back on the street feeling cold but I don't mind,
Saw you today and you nearly set my heart on fire,
Everywhere I look I see your face,
This boy says that he's in love again,
This boy says that he's in love again.

Like the sun breaking on the water,
Like a fire burning in your heart,
If it comes shining through the night,
Don't let it from your sight,
Just in case it slips and fade away.

Heaven Come Quickly

Spring again, and I'm losing my way
Every year I do the same
Summer ends and I try make amends
Watch the teardrops on your face

Like a leaf falling helplessly
Burnt by the sunlight
Blown by the blue sky
In the winter you cover me
Every time.

So why am I lonely, why am I blue
Why don't I love you like I should
Heaven come quickly
Unlock your door
You're making me feel like I've lived before.

Forever's No Time At All 

And nothing sure is forever
When forever's no time at all
As I lie amongst the heatherbed
High above the ocean's roar

I seem to hear my name being called
Yet who am I waiting for
And I love the lover who loves with
All the love he has and more

And now that the summer's ending
And your baby cries out to sea
I do feel that I am drowning in
The love that you're sending m

And now that the summer's ending 
And your baby cries out to sea 
I do feel that I am drowning in 
The love that you're sending me

Lyrics by Kate McInnerney

I Can't Stop Loving You (Though I Try)

So you're leaving in the morning
On the early train
I could say everything's alright
I could pretend and say goodbye
Got your ticket, got your suitcase
Got your leaving smile
I could say that's the way it goes
I could pretend and you won't know
That I was lying..... 
Cause I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
No, I can't stop loving you
Though I try.....

Took a taxi to the station
Not a word was said
I saw you walk across the road
Maybe the last time - I don't know
Feeling humble, I heard a rumble
On the railway track
And when I hear the whistle blow
I walk away and you don't know
That I was lying

Cause I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
No, I can't stop loving you
Though I try

I just can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
No, I can't stop loving you
Though I try

Without Love

You see those street lights in the city
Well they don't sparkle on there own
You see that girl she looks so pretty
But she might as well be made of stone

Without love Without love
There'd be no one called Juliet
She wouldn't have no Romeo

You can take the gold out of a river
You can take the blue out of the sky
Then wrap it round some bodies finger
But that won't make the sunshine bright

Without love Without love
There'd be no one to hold you 
When this world turns dark and grey

Without love Without love
This earth would kiss the moon 
And then the stars would fade away

And when the rain falls down
The river will find its way back into the sea
And what makes this world turn around
Without true love this could never be

You can take the meaning out of Christmas
You can take the Fourth out of July
You can call the Devil as a witness
But in the end he'll tell you that I'm right

It can make the winter feel like summer
And put the strength back in the land
It can make you think there is no other
But don't forget there is no man.
Without love.

A Movie Made In Heaven

Too many arrows too many stars
Too many angels singing she's gonna break your heart
Just like a movie made in heaven
I walked her home and then I kissed her good night
She said don't worry in the end it will be alright
Just like a movie made in heaven.

Then before I knew we were on the deadwood stage
She wasn't wearing no skirt
She was smiling like Doris Day
I remember somebody calling out my name
That was the last thing I heard
Except the sound of a whip crack away.

She started singing about her secret love
And I imagined it was me she was thinking of
Just like a movie made in heaven
She stole my heart but I was holding the ace
They shot me down but then I got up and walked away
Just like a movie made in heaven.

Oh I never thought anyone could be so vain
It wasn't making no sense
She was talking like Gabby Hayes
When I sat beside her upon the deadwood stage
I got a pain in my head
Then heard the sound of a whip crack away.

Free The Children

We are the young west
The privileged few
We are suspicious 
Of everything you do
Our brothers and sisters
Have been taken away
Like a dam in the river
Now its gonna change

Free the children
Free the children
Let the children go
Free the children
Free the children
Let the children grow

We are the young west
Look in our eyes
We have no secrets
Got nothing to hide
Our brothers and sisters 
Have been taken away
Like a dam in the river
Now it's gonna change

Free the children
Free the children
Let the children go
Free the children 
Free the children
Let the children grow

Well I don't care if they shave their hair
Or paint their faces crimson
Black or white that's alright
We've got to free the children.

Dying Star

We said goodbye
With the understanding it was meant to be
That we're seperated by our destiny
And a silent pain that can't be shared

We said goodbye
And I promised we would never meet again
But my love's so strong the flame will never end
When the morning comes it will be there

Just like a dying star
My love will shine a path wherever you are 
True love means everything
But if there's a chance 
That it might break someone's heart

I'll get out of your life
Out of your world
I'll stand behind someone else's flame
You'll be safe in your dreams
Safe in the dark
You won't see me
But I won't be far away

Dancing Shoes

When you're walking the streets at night
And you're feeling lonely in a crowd
Don't look back at the frozen past
Cos it really isn't that important now
When that old juke box ain't playing the songs that you want to hear
When the bass drum sounds the same
And the tom toms disappear

Give them everything that you possess
Give them everything that you love best
Never throw away your dancing shoes
Never tell a lie if there's no need
Never try to hide the way you feel
Never throw away your dancing shoes

When you've given it all away
And there's nothing left for you to dream
When the shadows of yesterday
Keep reminding you of how it used to be
Grab a hold on tight and pull yourself out it's never too late
Get up on your feet the music will always find a way

Give a little more and take your time
Listen to your heart and my advice
Never throw away your dancing shoes
Never try to hide the way you feel
Never dream if you can make it real
Never throw away your dancing shoes

When you can't find a friend anywhere
And you think even god doesn't care
Well just take a step and he will take ten and you'll go round again
Grab a hold of somebody's hand
Cos if love doesn't win then what can
Make a fool of yourself
Get on your feet and dance

Got It In One

God knows it isn't easy or as simple as it seems
There's a Spaniard in the workhouse who is having troubled dreams
There's a girl who lost her baby somewhere she canÕt bring to mind
There's a man who thinks his handshake is some secret service sign
You've got it in one
You've got it in one

There's a singer who's forgotten both the reason and the rhyme
There's a woman filled with pity though she's happy all the time
There are sailors on the ocean who believe it's all a dream
And there's a book recording everything you've ever been
You've got it in one
You've got it in one

When you're losing everything that you have
Well just remember that it's part of a bigger plan
If there's a question 
Well then the answer must be love
You've got it in one

There's a boy who can't remember which is right and what is wrong
There's a uniform division but it won't be there for long
There is someone who keeps smiling cos he doesn't know he's ill
There's an emptiness inside us all we shall one day fill
You've got it in one
You've got it in one

When you're losing everything that you have
Just remember that it's part of a bigger plan
If there's a question
Well then the answer must be love

You've got it in one
You've got it in one

Under One Banner

Now is the time to lay down your cloaks and your daggers,
Don't you see that we're under one banner.
Now is the time to play out the part that was written,
Who will care if it's hero or villain.

The stage is empty, the lights are dimmed,
And the silence is deafening,
Don't forsake me,
Cos there ain't a wall dividing us,
There ain't a sea thats wide enough.

I believe that we're under the same banner,
I believe it's later than we think it is,
The time has come and change is in the wind.

And if you're given the easy lines,
And I was struggling to get it right,
Don't forsake me,
Cos it might have gone the other way,
And you may have found it hard to say ....

I believe that we're under the same banner
I believe the stage is set, the lights have dimmed
You're standing right in front of him.

I believe that we're we're under the same banner ......

Penumbra Moon

Standing in the moonlight
I saw you standing in the moonlight
With your hair a shining blue 
I shivered in the midnight air.

He was in the shadows
He was hiding in the shadows
Why he looked so dark and cold
And lonely, only heaven knows.

Oh! Penumbra! Just like that moon
Some of it black, some of it bright, some of it blue
Oh! Penumbra! I'm just like you 
Feeling so shy 
Hiding behind somebody too.
Oh I'm just like you

If I could have one wish
Oh I'd take you on a starship
But I wouldn't know what to do with
All the love I have for you.

Nothing much between us
No there's nothing much between us
Even Mercury and Venus
Couldn't take me far from you

Oh! Penumbra! Just like that moon
Some of it black, some of it bright, some of it blue
Oh! Penumbra! I'm just like you 
Feeling so shy 
Hiding behind somebody too. 
Oh I'm just like you

That Other Guy

He's got a race horse 
And he's got a four poster 
Country retreat 
Like the white cliffs of Dover
But oh my! 
What's that other guy doing with my girl

He shoots at weekends 
With lady La-de-da 
On oodles of champagne
And Russian caviar 
But oh my! 
What's that other guy doing with my girl

Will he make her feel 
Safer in limousines 
Or will he hold her 
When she is afraid

I hear the birds sing 
So sweetly when I wake up 
I've got a good friend that 
Won't ever leave me 
But oh my! 
What's that other guy doing with my girl
I said oh my! 
What's that other guy doing with my girl

White City Lights

My friends are all waiting with time on their hands,
It's Saturday night
The bridges are broken there's no turning back
To white city lights
Here on this stage it gets harder to relate
What did I do to change me this way
Oh! Yes I remember I can just see your face
I'm in love with you!
I'm in love with you!

A hero, A villain, is what you'll become
Or take the road in between
As free as a bird or a man on the run
Well it could have been me
When other lights shine and then leave me in the dark
You're always there
You have been from the start
But we're still separated and it's breaking my heart
I'm in love with you!
I'm in love with you!

Give Me Love

She come, she gone
No explanation
Left me tired and cold
Don't bear no grudge
You win you lose some
All that shines is not gold

O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love

Don't want no ties
No self denying 
Can alter my destiny
Like fading sun
I'm disillusioned
Only one thing I need

O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love

One more heartache 
Guaranteed
That's the way 
It has to be 
See

Brown And Beige

You were lovely in brown and beige 
And with the sunset 
You looked so perfect

Evening sparkle upon your face 
The day was almost 
In purple shadow

And the twilight fell like rain 
And I had to look again

Slender ladies in English lace
Their lips like rosebuds 
Their kiss for no one

But you were lovely in brown and beige
I should have told you 
But felt no need to

And the twilight fell like rain 
And I had to look again

Warrior

Paint me like a Zulu
Throw me to the lions
There ain't nothing left 
To frighten me besides 
I'm a warrior for you
I'm a warrior for you.

Kick me in the deep end
Send me to the stars
You won't see no difference
Maybe It's because 
I'm a warrior for you
I'm a warrior for you.

I don't need a bow
Silver or gold, chariot of fire
The story, we know 
Getting retold, twisted and tired.

I'm a warrior for you
I'm a warrior for you.

You know I'm convicted
Put me to the test
Just show me the wicket
Time will do the rest
I'm a warrior for you
I'm a warrior for you.

I think it's a shame 
Hearing your name
Spoken in anger.
They're racking their brains
Trying to explain questions and answers.

I'm a warrior for you
I'm a worrier for you.

Reverie

When I'm alone
Or in a crowded room
Lost in a reverie
Why do I always think of you

Throughout the day
Or in the midnight blue
When I can't get to sleep
Why do I always think of you

It's a mystery to me
Why I'm lost in a dream
When the sun fades away
And shadows fall

Is it twilight or rain
At the end of the day
Well there must be 
A reason for it all

Velvet Rut

What d'you want 
Come on now why don't you tell me

What d'you want 
I know you don't need my money

We've been through the 
Flooded rivers and the road 
And there ain't nothing that can 
Stop me from loving you it's true 
Come on let me know

oh oh oh oh oh oh

What d'you want 
If it's my love well you got it

Come on and tell me what d'you want 
There's nothing left in my pocket

I don't feel a breath of wind in the air 
We're in the doldrums 
You can break my heart I don't really care 
You see I'd rather it were me than someone else

oh oh oh oh oh oh

You can see that I'm stuck in a velvet rut 
You've got me sounding like a 
Record that jumps and jumps 
Come on tell me what d'ya want

oh oh oh oh oh oh

Still Entwined

A long long time ago we parted
So many things we should have said
My broken heart has never mended
I'm still entwined with you dear
The tie that bound is still there.

Should I have spoken what I knew then
Or let my feelings be repressed
And even though we parted good friends
The silence that you left me
I feel it¹s almost deafening.

And if by chance I get to see you
After the years have drifted by
Will it be laughter when I greet you
Or will the tears fill our eyes
And will we tell the same lies?

There And Back Again

I've tried to live alone
Without anyone
Trying to tell me what they're going through
But then I get the blues
Cos I cant spend my life without you

I've been travelling
There and back again
I've looked for places
I've never been to
But if I had to choose
I would not go anywhere without you

Sometimes the rain gets me down
Sometimes I dream about
Flying out to another location
Way out in the blue
But only if you came too

Only A Passing Show

The king of hearts came to the fair
And went through the tunnel of love
He said this ride will never end
Even when the ghost train comes
He told me
This will always be a passing show

So who will play the emperor
The fool upon the stage
The hanged man and the lovers
The wheel of fortune says to me
This will only be a passing show

Only a passing show
Only a passing show

The joker told a pack of lies
The actor played himself
The minstrels sang the same old rhyme
The magician cast his spell upon me
This will always be a passing show

I climbed aboard the ghost train
It took me to the edge
The king of hearts had disappeared
But I remember what the old man said to me
This will always be a passing show

Only a passing show
Only a passing show

Guardian Angel 

The curtains coming down
It's time to leave the stage
The actors and the clowns
Have no more parts to play

I've got to learn how to forgive
And make a brand new start
Maybe I'll find that love can pierce
This vacuum round my heart

Reach out you guardian angel please
If you're looking after me
Come and wake me from this dream

I know I've taken so much time
But there¹s this feeling deep inside
And it's so hard to say good-bye

Memory Lane 

Taking a spin
Where I used to live
The kids are outside
The Palais de Dance
The girls are made up
The boys in a trance
A red neon sign flashing
Buy Me Now

Making my way down memory lane
Even the stars look the same
Making my way down memory lane
Only the time seems to change

Driving my car
Hear the dogs bark
The beggars are all coming to town
Some are in rags
Some are in tags now
Some are all dressed up in silken gown

Making my way down down memory lane
Even the stars look the same
Making my way down memory lane
Only the time seems to change

So glad you made it
Back home again
Down through the ages
Here comes the rain

Its all been done before
Open the same old door
Forever is no time at all
