"Invisible"

"Invisible"


You've got me so confused and there's word I could use
But I'm afraid to say them.
I feel I've been had and I'm boiling mad

Still I can't live without you.
You don't have the time and you won't spend a dime
Not even to call me.
You don't know I exist and I wouldn't be missed
If I had the nerve to quit you.

Invisible - I feel like I'm invisible.
You treat me like I'm not really there
and you don't really care.
I know this romance
it ain't going nowhere.
Invisible just like my love. You treat me like I'm invisible.
When you get the need to flirt you do your worst

You just don't care how much it hurts.

I can never reach you on the phone
it rings and rings
But I know you're home.
It may be naive but I just want to believe I'm the only one.
I tell myself lies and give you alibies

Knowing your promises you'll never keep
like the merry go round

I'm going up
I'm going down
I'm on a dead end street.

Invisible just like my love
I feel like I'm invisible.
You treat me like I'm not really there
and you don't really care.
I know this romance
it ain't going nowhere.
Although I know it's not a lot
don't want to lose whatever we got.
I keep hanging on knowing I can't win
'Cause it's too hard start over again.
Invisible - I feel like I'm invisible...
Invisible just like my love.

"Is This Love?"

"Is This Love?"


In a fleeting moment of a restless day
Driven to distraction
I was captured by the game
I have often wondered why I ever wanted to
Leave these scattered hours behind me and speed myself to you

I choose never to forget

I want our lips to kiss and our limbs to entwine
Let our bodies be twisted but never our minds
Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?
Set to work idle hands
Shake these thoughts
Had I planned them they never would be teasing me
As viciously as these

I would not have believed you
Had I never seen
Now you and I are intimately pictured
In my dreams
I could not forsake you or fall tumbling away
And if I live in wonderland
I'm better off this way

I choose never to forget

I want our lips to kiss and our limbs to entwine
Let our bodies be twisted but never our minds
Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?
Set to work idle hands
Shake these thoughts
Had I planned them they never would be teasing me
As viciously as these

Is this love?

"It Won't Be Long"

"It Won't Be Long"


One of these days
I'm waiting on a day
When nobody comes to trample my meadow
Biding my time
There's gonna be a time
Might take a while
But changes are coming
And it wont be long
When everything you said
Won't sit around and pile up with the traffic in my head
And when I wake up
I wont see you on the bathroom floor
In the tangle of clothes we left lying there
It wont be long

One of these nights
With company I find
I wont be inclined to leave before sunrise
When my eyes, my mouth, my hands, my head
Don't tell me that nobody else will do

And it wont be long
When everything you said
Won't sit around and pile up with the traffic in my head
And when I wake up
I wont see you on the bedroom floor
In the tangle of rope we left lying there
It wont be long
It wont be long
'Till it's all gone

And it wont be long
When everything you said
Won't sit around and pile up with the traffic in my head
And when I wake up
I wont see you by the bedroom door
In the wallpaper stained by the cup that I threw at your head
It wont be long

"It's Not The Thing Henry"

"It's Not The Thing Henry"


You're asking the wrong question
To the wrong person
And it's hurting you to listen
I wanna be truthful
But you gotta be certain
This is what you mean

Ah Henry, would you look at me
You cannot have it all and I will not make it easy
Henry, I'm not grateful for small mercies
No matter how light the purse is
All the things you need don't mean a thing to me -
It's not the air I breathe
It's not the thing Henry

Am I taking the wrong meaning
In concluding
That the error is of your choosing?
You've got to be simple
If you think that you're moving
More than the ire in me

Ah Henry, would you look at me
You cannot have it all and I will not make it easy
Henry, I'm not grateful for small mercies
No matter how light the purse is
All the things you need don't mean a thing to me -
It's not the air I breathe
It's not the thing Henry

All the things you need don't mean a thing to me -
It's not the air I breathe
It's not the thing Henry...

"Je Crois Entendre Encore"

"Je Crois Entendre Encore"


Je crois entendre encore
Caché sous les palmiers
Sa voix tendre et sonore
Comme un chant de ramiers.
Oh nuit enchanteresse
Divin ravissement
Oh souvenir charmant,
Folle ivresse, doux rêve!

Aux clartés des étoiles
Je crois encor la voir
Entr'ouvrir ses longs voiles
Aux vents tièdes du soir.
Oh nuit enchanteresse
Divin ravissement
Oh souvenir charmant
Folle ivresse, doux rêve!

Charmant Souvenir!
Charmant Souvenir!

"La Chanson Des Vieux Amants"

"La Chanson Des Vieux Amants"


Bien sûr nous eûmes des orages vingt ans d'amour c'est l'amour fol
Mille fois tu pris ton bagage mille fois je pris mon envol
Et chaque meuble se souvient dans cette chambre sans berceau
Des éclats des vieilles tempêtes plus rien ne ressemblait à rien
Tu avais perdu le goût de l'eau et moi celui de la conquête.
Mais mon amour, mon doux mon tendre mon merveilleux amour
De l'aube claire jusqu'à la fin du jour, je t'aime encore tu sais je t'aime.
Moi je sais tous tes sortilèges, tu sais tous mes envoûtements
Tu m'as gardé de piège en piège, je t'ai perdue de temps en temps
Bien sûr tu pris quelques amants il fallait bien passer le temps
Il faut bien que le corps exulte finalement finalement
Il nous fallut bien du talent pour être vieux sans être adultes
Ô mon amour, mon doux mon tendre mon merveilleux amour
De l'aube claire jusqu'à la fin du jour, je t'aime encore tu sais je t'aime.
Et plus le temps nous fait cortège et plus le temps nous fait tourment
Mais n'est-ce pas le pire piège que vivre en paix pour des amants
Bien sûr tu pleures un peu moins tôt je me déchire un peu plus tard
Nous protégeons moins nos mystères on laisse moins faire le hasard
On se méfie du fil de l'eau mais c'est toujours la tendre la guerre.
Ô mon amour, mon doux mon tendre mon merveilleux amour
De l'aube claire jusqu'à la fin du jour, je t'aime encore tu sais je t'aime?

"Love Letters"

"Love Letters"


Love letters straight from your heart
Keep us so near while apart

I'm not alone in the night
When I can have all the love that you write
I memorize every line
And I kiss the name that you sign
And darling then I read again
Right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart

I memorize every line
And I kiss the name that you sign
And darling then I read again
Right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart

"Love Reign Supreme"

"Love Reign Supreme"


Do you keep for a relic
Every ticket in your pocket
For a time you need reminding of
The webbing and the binding

Will you cherish every barb that caught you
Soft and unprotected
Like a souvenir collected of
The harrow and the hiding

You are more in the sum
Of the numbers you’ve been done
And it fits to be kind
Even as your chest is bleeding

And May love reign supreme in your heart

Hold on to what you know
You light the room, you give it all
Take with you when you go
The smile that you’ve been sketching on my face

And if you slip again the nearest room is when you do
And as you slip away I’m waiting to here for everything to change

Will you write me a card
When you reached your destination
I won’t take it as a white flag or a
Sign of hesitation

Just a temporary token
I’ll be keeping in my pocket
With the biro and lighter til it
Smacks of desperation

We are more in the sum
Of the numbers we’ve been done
And it right to be kind
Even as your chest is bleeding

When the love reign supreme in your heart
Make love reign supreme in your heart

Hold on to what you know
You light the room, you give it all
Take with you when you go
The smile that you’ve been sketching on my face

And if you slip again the nearest room is when you do
And as you slip away I’m waiting to here for everything to change

And if you slip again the nearest room is when you do
And as you slip away I’m waiting to here for everything to change

"Love Resurrection"

"Love Resurrection"


What can I do to make light of this dull dull day
What switch can I pull to illuminate the way
Show me one direction
I will not question again
For a warm injection
Is all I need to calm the pain

We all need a love resurrection
(just a little divine intervention)
We all need a love resurrection
(just a little divine intervention)

What seed must I sow to replenish this barren land
Teach me to harvest, I want you to grow in my hand
Let's be optimistic, let's say that we won't toil in vain
If we pull together we'll never fall apart again

We all need a love resurrection
(just a little divine intervention)
We all need a love resurrection
(just a little divine intervention)

Show me one direction
I will not question again
For a warm injection
Is all I need to calm the pain

"Mary, Don't Keep Me Waiting"

"Mary, Don't Keep Me Waiting"


Mary Mary don't keep me waiting
There's not light enough to see and you know
If I'm not there when he gets back home
He's going to come out looking for me

Don't take what you can't carry
Don't keep what you don't need
Full speed please Mary won't you hurry back
The sky is black and it's menacing me

Mary did you change your motor car
You're just to far away to see

Mary Mary don't keep me waiting
There's not air enough to breathe and you know
If I'm not there when he gets back home
He's going to come out looking for me

Tell no-one where you're going
Speak not one word of me
Mary please believe me, I,
I tell no lie
I have an eye for some troublesome things

Mary did you come alone now
I'm just too far away to see

Big tree won't you be my cradle
Rock me but don't let me sleep
Keep me secret if you're able to
'Til Mary comes I'm counting on you

Mary are the headlights blinking there
I'm just too far away to see
