"Every Second Counts"

"Every Second Counts"


Every second counts
That's what he says
Every second counts
Every single day
All through the night time
All through the day time
Can't let your world pass through and into my way

Every second counts
He can't slow down
Every second counts
See him spin around
He's chasing his shadow
He's racing the wind
He tells us to follow
Where the ice is so thin

I hope you're holding on
I hope you're holding on
'Cos every second counts

"Everytime I See You Smile"

"Everytime I See You Smile"


Sat out a card game in a motel room
Don't let the muzak drive you crazy late at night
They tell me it's all part of the deal I'm in
Well I close my eyes, put memory into sight

Every time I see you smile

Now the lady tabs your case, leaves you thinking
An hour or so: I hope she's right on time
And you dream away your touchdown destination
Now single file and put yourself back in line

But oh, every time I see you smile

Now this old world don't give much for choosing
You can spend a lifetime driving yourself wild
But I can take its punches laughing - don't mind losing
Just as long as I get to see you smile every once in a while

"Evil No. 2"

"Evil No. 2"


They call me love
They call me dear
They kiss off and leave me
For their own career
I got a satellite dish, I'm all alone
With my little goldfish
And eminem, em on my headphones
You heard that yet? You will!

Selfish pigs put the blame on me
So hacked off what I came to be
I'm off the tracks
Now I'm all at sea
They like jogging more than they like me

I'm evil
Evil no.2

Then need to have something,
Becomes the seed to have anything
The lonely tears have dried up
And the brain cells start to fry
My heart cries out for new things
Turns to anything will do things
My left sides like a train crash
Form all the things I tried

I was so scared
I was lonely
I got mixed up
Now I'm only

I'm evil
Evil no.2

Mummy and daddy's on prozac
Said they're happy but
They won't be back
I hope they have a heart attack
'Cos of what they done to me

They left me for a wine bar
They left me for the wrong car
I dunno how I got this far

I'm evil
Evil no.2

Eminem ain't so far away from this

Mummy got a boyfriend
Daddy got a girlfriend
Gotta go away at weekends
I tell you what I'll do
Take every pill that I see
You can do what you want to me
I'm only trying to break free
From the evil that you do

I'm evil
Evil no.2

"Firefly"

"Firefly"


Go to that secret place
Inside your soul
Go to its deepest place
Only you and I know
Can you see her?
There she is still shining bright
When the sun goes down
See her crimson glow through
the darkest of nights
She smiles and says
Everything is alright
There will never be goodbye
While we still see the firefly

The firefly
She smiles and says
Everything is alright
There will never be goodbye
While we still see the firefly

There will never be goodbye
While we still see the firefly

"Fires Of Spring"

"Fires Of Spring"


She's back real late yet she don't seem to care
She hangs around outside in late night air
Burning tears upon a smiling face
And she's caught in the fires of spring

The ice of loneliness you've known so long
For good or not seems to have been and gone
Your Phoenix flies you high on crazy wings
And you're caught in the fires of spring

You've been before but never been so fast
Your only hope is that it's gonna last
You know the pain and yet you love it's sting
And you're caught in the fires of spring

"For Ever And Ever"

"For Ever And Ever"


Don't ask me how long baby it's gonna take
I don't know honey, just give it a break
Love don't happen to you overnight
You got to feed it, leave it
Give it some light
Oh love, true love
When it looks like you're winning
Get it right on tee
And the stars shine so brightly
Just for you and me
For ever and ever babe
Is that what it takes?
For ever and ever babe
Is that when it stays for you and me?

With every ray of sunshine sugar
There's little bit of rain
You got to take the bad times with the good times
'Cos no love's the same
Oh love, true love
When it looks like you're winning
Get it right on tee
And the stars shine so brightly
Just for you and me

For ever and ever babe
Is that what it takes?
For ever and ever babe
That's when it stays
When you've found your star love will know just who you are
For ever and ever she'll stay
For ever and ever babe
Is that what it takes?
For ever and ever babe
Is that when it stays?

"Forever"

"Forever"


Hearing now
The sound of the waves breaking on the shore
Feel that sun
Late in the day
It's touching forever more
You and me
Together we should be
You and me
We should be together
Forever

This place in time
Can never be replaced
This chance to see
Will go without a trace
How we really are
Is how that we could be
The rest is useless pain
Let it go and you will see
We all have plans
But it's not because of
We just get full of what we really need

You and me
Together we should be
Forever
Forever

You and me
Together we should be
You and me we should be
Together
Forever

"Girl In A Sports Car"

"Girl In A Sports Car"


When I was a boy I had a dream
It never came true but somehow it seems
When I drift away and I knowing so
There's a certain time and a place I go

Every heart's got it's moment
Written on it's soul
Just a minute in it's lifetime
Of a happiness untold

For the smallest grain of sand in time
Your own shadow sets you free
And you turn to your reflection
And your heart cries out, is this really me?
It's the girl in the sports car 1961
And she's sitting in her Lusso
In the early morning sun

For the smallest grain of sand in time
Your own shadow sets you free
And you turn to your reflection
And your heart cries out is this really me?
It's the girl in the sports car 1961
And she's sitting in her Lusso
In the early morning sun
That girl in the sports car
That girl in the sports car
Girl in the sports car
That girl in the sports car
Girl in the sports car
That girl in the sports car

"Give That Girl A Diamond"

"Give That Girl A Diamond"


Time to get up
She shines her light where just before
There was only
A cold wind blowing
She understands what makes me smile
And lets me know that
Without showing
I need to tell her, need to show her
How deep she goes

Inside of me
She is the stone that breaks the hard shell
And rings out the loudest bell
With whispered words that scream out
All the peace in me

Give that girl a diamond
Yeah give that girl a diamond
And say it's from me
A blue reflected light
Way past the darkest place
My only private night
Of fearful dreams
She is stone that stabs my shield of steel
The peace that she makes me feel
With whispered words
I need to tell her
Need to show her
How deep she goes
Inside of me

Give that girl a diamond
Give that girl a diamond
And say it's from me

"Giverny"

"Giverny"


Deep inside these old dusty walls
There's a sacred heart, I'd know this garden anywhere
She was warm, she was deep summertime
She was love itself and she was standing there
Standing close, so close to me
I closed my eyes and I could see
Giverny

And in this strange and holy place
I looked for love and found it everywhere
It was what you saw she came to see
Because of you she was standing there
Giverny

Books may burn and rain may fall
But what is here I know will last forever more
Colours change, there are no defines
She was love itself and I thank you for giving me
Giverny
