"Natasha Dance"

"Natasha Dance"



Natasha brings me kisses in the moonlight,
She kneels above me, silk upon my skin,
I reach for her, and I can feel her heartbeat,
Beneath her breast so heavy in my hand;

The rain is running rivers on my window,
And shimmers on the streetlights down below,
She's happy when I hold her in the shadows,
And whispers of a life I've never known;

And will you dance, Natasha dance for me,
Because I want to feel the passion in your soul,
And when you dance, will you tell me in a story,
The joy and pain of living in your world;

La la la, la la la, la la la la.......

And with the light I wake up in the morning,
And she has gone, it must have been a dream,
And then I see the roses on my pillow,
And now I know that she will come again;

And she will dance, Natasha dance for me,
Again I want to feel the passion in your soul,
And when you move, will you show me in a story,
The joy and pain of living in your world;

Natasha dance for me.........

"New Moon"

"New Moon"



A new moon is laughing up there in the sky, but
My love is crying and I'll tell you why...

Crisis and confusion when she came along,
Followed by delusion when I found out that I was wrong,
She said "Baby, we're cruising along on the crest of a wave,"
And I said "Maybe, but baby I'm losing, and the only wave is goodbye"...

'Cos just when I'm starting to burn with desire,
My blood's getting hot and the flames rising higher,
She says "Goodnight"...
And leaves me on fire, and I'm so sorry my love,
I gotta say goodbye, ooh, ohh.

A new moon, a new tune, another song is coming soon,
New moon, new day, another love is coming my way,
She took my heart, and without a word she tore it apart, ooh,
New moon, so bright, shine your light on me for the rest of the night...

Scenes of soft seduction, spinning through my head,
Watching her deduction as I lay grinning on my bed,
Sie said "Honey, it's so moving, I can almost see our wedding day,"
And I said "Funny, you'd better start grooving honey or the only move is away"...

And then she turned with that look in her eye,
And I know that bad weather'll be here by and by,
And sure enough, she started to cry, and I'm so sorry my love,
I really gotta fly, ooh, ohh...

A new moon, a new tune, another song is coming soon,
New moon, new day, another love is coming my way,
She took my heart, and without a word she tore it apart, ooh,
New moon, so bright ... ooh shine your light on me for the rest of the night...
New moon, new moon ... oh, oh, new moon,
Bye, bye, bye, new moon, bye, bye, new moon.

"Nothing Ever Happens Round Here"

"Nothing Ever Happens Round Here"



She was a girl from a one horse town,
The only place for miles around,
Cutting hair in the modern style,
Putting in the nine to five,
but, every night it was the same old dream,
On the cover of a magazine,
She, looked good but it could never come true,
'Cos nothing ever happens round here,
Nothing ever happens round here;

She had a boyfriend in the town,
He spent his days just messing around,
With stick shifts and steering wheels,
Motorbikes and automobiles,
And every night it was the same old thing,
Meet the boys for a couple of drinks,
Shoot pool and talk about girls,
And nothing ever happens round here,
Nothing ever happens round here;

They said nothing, no nothing,
Nothing ever happens round here,
Nothing, no nothing,
Nothing ever happens round here.

One day in a local bar,
She heard a movie man was looking for a star,
And everybody in the whole damn town,
Got the call to come on down,
And when she walked into the room,
Every heart went BOOM BOOM BOOM,
- Who's that girl?
She's exactly what were looking for,
But nothing ever happens round here,
Nothing ever happens round here;

They said nothing, no nothing,
Nothing ever happens round here,
Nothing, no nothing,
Nothing ever happens round here;

And so she took a screen test,
No doubt that she was the best,
The camera fell in love with her,
Before she knew it she was on the way to make that dream come true;

Now she's living in Hollywood,
And everything is looking good,
She thinks about the folks back home,
And her boyfriend all alone, but;

Every night it's still the same old thing,
Meet the boys for a couple of drinks,
Shoot pool and talk about girls,
And nothing ever happens round here,
Nothing ever happens round here,

They said nothing, no nothing,
Nothing ever happens round here,
Nothing, no nothing,
Nothing ever happens round here;

"Oh My Brave Hearts"

"Oh My Brave Hearts"



Oh my brave hearts, we must leave this land tomorrow,
We can't live here anymore,
And in the quiet hours, we talk before the dawn;

And the old hearts, they are calling from the shadows,
Telling us we must not go, oh but we cannot fight,
The power of the gun, to take away our land,
They take it from our sons, swear it on my hand,

We will return to run here like the wolf,
And see the hunter's moon, and watch our river flow,
It's not gone forever;

Oh my bold hearts, we will go down to the city,
We will live by city light, but in the darkest hour,
Keep this fire alive;

We will grow strong, we will bring our wealth together,
Never showing what we have,
And when the time has come, we'll reach out for the gun,
Taking back our land, take it for our sons,
Swear it on my hand,

We will return to run here like the wolf,
And see the hunter's moon, and watch our river flow,
We will return to touch the open sky,
And see the eagle fly, and feel the morning rain,
It's not gone forever,
We will return,
Oh my brave hearts,
We gonna come back, we gonna come back,
We will return,
Oh my brave hearts,
We will return.

"Old Friend"

"Old Friend"



Old friend, so you're in trouble again, you ask me today,
To try and find a little time, and maybe buy a glass of wine,
Old friend, I'm coming through...

Old friend, Yes I remember you, always a smile on your face,
Oh memory from years before, an old man and a little boy,
Old friend, I remember you...

You used to take me fishing down by the wishing well,
One day you threw a wish in, and we listened while it fell,
And you made a wish...

"When the years are heavy, and my heart is growing cold,
Well I wish when the evening comes that there'll always
be...Some old friend who'll miss me too..."

Well I do, so old friend I'm coming through...
Yes, for you I'll always find the time, we will have a bottle
of wine, old friend, I'm here by your side, Oh, to the very end,
Old friend...I miss you too...My dear old friend...
Old friend...Old friend...

"Old-Fashioned People"

"Old-Fashioned People"



Old-fashioned people, they never know why,
The world is changing day to day,
It moves so fast and leaves them in another time;

An old-fashioned dancer is dancing alone,
Dreaming of those music halls,
And with his lady waltzing away until the dawn,

And I thought I heard him say,
Please don't take my dreams away;

They carry me back again, show me that life again,
Carry me back to the places that I knew,
Carry me back again, show me that life again,
Carry me back to the places that I knew...

Old-fashioned lovers, they walk in the park,
Beside the river hand in hand,
And hurry home for tea before it gets dark,

Could be you and me one day,
Time will come when we will say,

Carry me back again, show me that life again,
Carry me back to the places that I knew,
Carry me back again, show me that life again,
Carry me back to the places that I knew;
Carry me back again, show me that life again,
Carry me back to the places that I knew...

"On A Christmas Night"

"On A Christmas Night"



I was awakened on a Christmas night
Somebody shaking me and shining a light
“Wake up the winter is here
And snow is falling on the ground”

Out of the window ‘twas a magic sight
And for a little boy it was a magic night
My friends were playing outside
And snow was tumbling on the ground

And we saw a thousand candles in the night
Moving to the church upon the hill
When the people saw us they said “come inside”
And the song that night they sing it still

We are here to celebrate the birth of a child
Who came to the world
We are here to celebrate the life of a child
Who came to the world
We are here to celebrate the birth of a child
Who came to the world
We are here to celebrate the life of a child
Who came to the world on this night
We are here to celebrate the birth of a child
Who came to the world
We are here to celebrate the life of a child
Who came to the world, to the world
We are here to celebrate the birth of a child
Who came to the world
We are here to celebrate the life of a child
Who gave to the world
His love

I was awakened on a Christmas night…

"Once Upon A Time"

"Once Upon A Time"



Daddy I can't sleep tonight, it's happening again,
Voices in the kitchen are shouting
And it's keeping me awake,
Is it something I've done wrong?
Maybe it's all my fault,
And why is Mummy crying all the time?

Lately I've been dreaming, dreaming of the day,
We will come together and be a happy family again,
Remember how it used to be, sitting here on my bed,
Both of you with stories,
When you came to say goodnight;

Once upon a time you must have loved her,
And held her in your arms,
And told her she's the best thing in your life,
And it's so sad, it's so bad,
To think that you don't love her anymore, anymore;

Someday when I'm older, will it be the same,
To wake up in the morning,
And find that everything in life has changed?
Well I never want to see that day,
I never want to leave this home,
But most of all I never want to hear
You say goodbye;

Once upon a time you must have loved her,
And held her in your arms,
And told her she's the best thing in your world,
And it's so sad, it's so bad,
To think that you don't love her anymore, anymore;

To think that you don't love her like before,
Once upon a time.

"One Life, One Love"

"One Life, One Love"



Long years would be lost and over since the morning train,
And the words that he called out to her,
"I'll be back again!
We will all be home for Christmas boys,
It's what the General said",
But little did they know the winds of war
Would change the world instead;

Oh, in this one life, there is one love,
Through the ages to be with us evermore;

He played his part a hero on the battlefield,
'Til a shell burst right beside,
And brought him to his knees,
As the blood just flowed away,
He turned his face up to the sky,
And a little boy was there beside him saying,
"Daddy, please don't die";

Oh, in this one life, there is one love,
Through the ages to be with us evermore;

No-one knew how he made it through,
And soon was on the way,
With the wounded back to England,
And from the early train, he stepped down,
And in the distance saw his wife and a little boy,
Who came up running to his arms and said,
"My Daddy has come home";

Oh, in this one life, there is one love,
Through the ages to be with us evermore;
In this one life:
Love of a different world;
There is one love.

"One More Goodbye"

"One More Goodbye"



Now that this evening is through
Can I have this dance with you?
Here in your arms, the beat of my heart
Is betraying the way that I feel

Music, a glass of champagne
Who knows when we'll meet again
At the end of the night, by the dawns early light
Will you kiss me for one more goodbye?

Nobody knows what the future will hold
Or what's hiding behind every door
But a journey has begun and if you are the one
Do I have to keep on looking anymore?

So now let this story unfold
It's the same one that's always been told
A boy and a girl in an uncertain world
So kiss me for one more goodbye

Kiss me for one more goodbye

Yes nobody knows what the future will hold
Or what's hiding behind every door
But a journey has begun and if you are the one
Do I have to keep on looking anymore?

So let's dance in the old fashioned way
You've stolen my heart and I pray
That I'll see you again in the sun or the rain
So kiss me for one more goodbye

Kiss me for one more goodbye
Kiss me for one more goodbye
Goodbye
