"Rubylove"


Who'll be my love
You'll be my love
You'll be my sky above
Who'll be my light
You'll be my light
You'll be my day and night
You'll be mine tonight

Ruby glykeia (Ruby my sweet)
Ela xana (come again)
Ela xana konta mou (come again close to me)
Ela proi (come in the morning)
Me tin avgi (by dawn)
Hrisi san iliahtida (gold as a sunbeam)
Ruby mou mikri (You small Ruby)

Ruby my love
You'll be my love
You'll be my sky above
Ruby my light
You'll be my light
You'll be my day and night
You'll be mine tonight

"Ruins"

"Ruins"


It's so quiet in the ruins walking though the old town
Stones crumbling under my feet I see smoke for miles around
Oh it's enough to make you weep, all that remains of the main street
Up in the park on Sunday, dogs chasing and the children played
Old man with his head down, can't see nothing more around...no

But he remembers how it used to be, back in the old days,
So nice to see you coming back in this town again
It's nice to see a friendly face come peeping through having tea
In the afternoon, so nice to see you coming back in this town again...

Ah but it's all changed winter turned on a man
Came down on day when no-one was looking and it
Stole away the land, people running scared, losing hands
Dodging shadows of falling sand, buildings standing like empty shells
And nobody...helping no-one else
Young child with his hands high, ain't able to see no reason why...no

But he remembers how it used to be, back in the old days,
So nice to see you coming back in this town again
It's nice to see a friendly face come peeping through
You'd better know what you're going through now
You came back here to find your home is a black horizon
That you don't recognize, evil destruction has taken everything
You'd better walk on the side while you're still walking
Just keep on walking on down the street keep your distance
From the people you meet. Oh Lord and you'd better watch your eyes
'Cause if smoke gets in them, baby you won't rise again.
Where's it leading to freedom at what cost
People needing more and more and it's all getting lost
I want back, I want back
Back to the time when the earth was green
And there was no high walls and the sea was clean
Don't stop that sun to shine, it's not yours or mine...no.

"Sad Lisa"

"Sad Lisa"


She hangs her head and cries on my shirt.
She must be hurt very badly.
Tell me what's making you sad, Li?
Open your door, don't hide in the dark.
You're lost in the dark, you can trust me.
'Cause you know that's how it must be.

Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa.

Her eyes like windows, trickle in rain
Upon the pain getting deeper.
Though my love wants to relieve her.
She walks alone from wall to wall.
Lost in her hall, she can't hear me.
Though I know she likes to be near me.

Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa.

She sits in a corner by the door.
There must be more I can tell her.
If she really wants me to help her.
I'll do what I can to show her the way.
And maybe one day I will free her.
Though I know no one can see her.

Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa.

"School Is Out"

"School Is Out"


School is out now we're gonna have some fun.
We're gonna make like we are the only ones.

I'm gonna buy a piece of the sky and sell passing clouds
I'm gonna be a mayor of some small town and tax the crowds
I'm gonna be a local surveyor and study the foreman {guilds?}
I'm gonna line up some of the finest girls that are in the world!

We're coming out of school today and we're so happy to be alive.
It's gonna be the best day, the best day of our lives.

Mmmm....

I'm gonna be a history maker I'll call myself Richard the Third.
I'm gonna buy an amplifier and shout out "Have you heard?"

We're coming out of school today and we're so happy to be alive.
It's gonna be the best day, the best day of our lives.

We're coming out of school today...baby...

"Seal Of The Prophets"

"Seal Of The Prophets"


He was a guide for all people
And the mercy to the universe
He was a guide for all people
God's peace and blessings on him

He was a seal of the prophet
The last brick in the house of prophethood
He was the last of the prophets
God's peace and blessings on him

He was a patron of the poor
Always helping widows and orphans
A great patron of the poor
God's peace and blessings on him

He was a striver against evil
And he fought and he won
To give rights all people
God's peace and blessings on him

He was a stranger to this world
For his aim was the hereafter
He kept little for this world
God's peace and blessings on him

"See What Love Did To Me"

"See What Love Did To Me"


My trail is blazing
Smoke overhead
My trail is blazing
Smoke everywhere

I feel amazing
Love, it be rare

I was a strong man
Strong as can be
I was a strong man
Strong as a tree

Come back and see
What love did to me

Just like the wind
My heart's rushing fast
A piece of dust
Too hard to catch

A raging flood
A way to see
A raging flood
Rolling madly

Come back and see
What love did to me

I was a child
Lost in the dark
I was a child
Missing in the dark

A broken arrow
Missing the mark

I tread the night were
Stalking a dream
I place the night were
Stalking a dream

Wake up and see
What love did to me

I was a blindfolded bumblebee
I was a blindfolded bumblebee

And now I see
What God did for me
He made me see life
Flowery

"Silent Sunlight"

"Silent Sunlight"


Silent sunlight, welcome in
There is work I must now begin
All my dreams have blown away
And the children wait to play
They'll soon remember things to do
When the heart is young
And the night is done
And the sky is blue

Morning songbird, sing away
Lend a tune to another day
Bring your wings and choose a roof
Sing a song of love and truth
We'll soon remember if you do
When all things were tall
And our friends were small
And the world was new

Sleepy horses, heave away
Put your backs to the golden hay
Don't ever look behind at the work you've done
For your work has just begun
There'll be the evening in the end
but till that time arrives
You can rest your eyes
And begin again

"Sing Children Of The World"

"Sing Children Of The World"


Oh sing children of the world
Come together and hear the call
Sing children of the world
Islam will unite us all

Sing children of the world
Come together and hear the call
Sing children of the world
Islam will unite us all

Subhanallah, wa alhamdullillah wa allahu akbar
Subhanallah, wa alhamdullillah wa allahu akbar

"Sitting"

"Sitting"


Oh I'm on my way, I know I am
Somewhere not so far from here
All I know is all I feel right now
I feel the power growing in my hair

Sitting on my own not by myself
Everybody's here with me
I don't need to touch your face to know
And I don't need to use my eyes to see

I keep on wondering if I sleep too long
Will I always wake up the same (or so)?
And keep on wondering if I sleep too long
Will I even wake up again or something

Oh I'm on my way I know I am
But times there were when I thought not
Bleeding half my soul in bad company
I thank the moon I had the strength to stop

I'm not making love to anyone's wishes
Only for that guide I see
Cause when I'm dead and lowered low in my grave
That's gonna be the only thing that's left of me

And if I make it to the waterside
Will I even find me a boat (or so)?
And if I make it to the waterside
I'll be sure to write you note or something

Oh I'm on my way I know I am
Somewhere not so far from here
All I know is all I feel right now
I feel the power growing in my hair

Oh life is like a maze of doors and they all
Open from the side you're on
Just keep on pushing hard boy, try as you may
You're going to wind up where you started from
You're going to wind up where you started from

"Smash Your Heart"

"Smash Your Heart"


You cut me deep,
but now i'm gonna see you weep, yeah
this broken man
is gonna do the best he can, yeah
I'll see you pay, before I give you my heart
baby I'll do without
There'll come a day
when I'll smash your heart
and then turn away
You played with me like a toy
and a little baby
After I broke
you just didn't want to know, yeah
I'll see you pay, before I give you my heart
baby I'll do without
There'll come a day
when I'll smash your heart
and then turn away
My time will come,
and you'll know when it's begun, yeah
You'll know because
you're gonna be just where i was, yeah
I'll see you pay, before I give you my heart
baby I'll do without
There'll come a day
when I'll smash your heart
and then turn away
