"My Blue World Says Hello"

"My Blue World Says Hello"


Everyone knows
My story of a heart broken clean in two
Everybody talking 'bout my never-to-be
No happy ending for me
Always seemed to get me down
A new kind of feeling
Baby since you been around, yeah

My blue world
Says hello
My blue world
Wants to know
Each time before
Good love seemed to pass me on by
Some kind of bad luck
Always seemed to get me down
A new kind of feeling
Baby since you been around
Since you been around me

My blue world
Says hello
My blue world
She wants to know

To take a chance with you
Is a dangerous way to go
But my blue world
My blue world says hello

Say a prayer and let it flow
Say a prayer for whenever it goes
Cos my blue world
Says hello

"My Deep Blue Ways"

"My Deep Blue Ways"


There's a moment
In almost every day
I catch a little piece of blue
I stop for a while
Relax 'till a smile
Feels the sun
Come shining through
On a day like today
Don't you worry it's OK
It's just me
And my deep blue ways

They say I'm strong
Yeah I know
That's my history
It's a story that's good to read
But there's a piece of my soul
I could never control
It's never set me free
On a day like today
Don't you worry it's OK
It's just me
And my deep blue ways
Just me and my deep blue ways, yeah

It's such a long time ago
And it seems now so far away
Deep blue was the sky
Deep gold was the sand
And the music of forever
Gently played, yeah
On a day like today
Don't you worry it's OK
It's just me and my deep blue ways
It's just me and my deep blue ways

"My Soul Crying Out For You"

"My Soul Crying Out For You"


Can you hear it?
Singing so low
Every time you tell me
You have got to go
That sad refrain
Those notes so blue
It's my soul
Crying out for you

What wakes you up
In the dead of night
And still you hear it
in the morning light
That sad refrain
Those notes so blue
It's my soul crying out for you

money don't buy no pill
to take away this pain that haunts you still
The sound that you have come to know
And I will not let you go
That sad refrain
Those notes so blue
Don't worry
It's just my soul crying out for you

That sad refrain
Those notes so blue
It's my soul
Crying out for you

"Never Tie Me Down"

"Never Tie Me Down"


I got a load of bad stuff
Laying heavy on my mind
I got a smile that sometimes
I find so hard to find
I got trouble
Chasing me every day
Too scared to look out
See what the bad sings say
Well you can beat up on my busted soul
Leave it bleeding on the ground
But oh Lord you ain’t ever gonna tie me down

I got the Devil
He follows me around
He keep coming
Chasing me from town to town
I got a two ton bag of lead
Slammin’ down on me
Well, peace and love
Oh baby that ain’t never coming near me
Beat my soul
Leave it bleeding chained and bound
But let me tell you
You ain’t never gonna chain me down
Oh Lord, never tie me down

You better look out
Cos I’m always gonna be around
I’ll tell you why, I’ll tell you why, why why
Oh Lord, you ain’t never gonna chain me down

"New Times Square"

"New Times Square"


I'll see you round about midnight
You know I won't be late
Let's dive into this crap house
And truth hell have to wait

The truth of what has gone before
Lies bleeding on the floor
The only truth remaining still
Is that truth don't matter anymore

So meet me round about midnight
I won't let you down I swear
We'll hang on to each other
Down at the new Times Square

It seems that we can't run from this
No matter how we try
There's nothing here worth keeping
So let's kiss it all goodbye

Tell me what's worth keeping anyway
It doesn't seem to matter
What we do or what we say
Everything we had
They have now taken it all away
The truth don't matter anymore

"New Way"

"New Way"


I go to work in a bubble
I got everything I need
I get so high on no trouble
It's a great feeling, being free

I say a prayer at thanksgiving
I bless the night and the day
I look up to the sky with a smile on my face
And I praise the lord of the new way

The sweetest sound I ever knew
Was the sound of reason falling
Like the summer rain
And the truth washed the pain away
New way

I don't watch tv anymore
Don't need to see it now we all know the score
And all the politicians know what they're there for
It's a new way
New way

"No More Sorrow"

"No More Sorrow"


Broken hearts
And broken souls
Are all that's left here
On a piano stool
Trying to play a tune
Make them feel alright

They talk of days
Sweet past and gone
And a love that got away
Put one more nightcap
In this empty glass
And these words I hear 'em say

No more sorrow
No more pain
Good Lord please forgive me
Yeah sing it again
No more sorrow
No more fear
Feel that sweet day
Coming near

There's no such thing
As bad luck here
There just ain't no luck at all
How did I ever lose my way
The only writing on this bar room wall

They talk of days
Sweet past and gone
And a love that got away
Put one more nightcap
In this empty glass
And these words I hear 'em say

No more sorrow
No more pain
Good Lord please forgive me
Yeah sing it again
No more sorrow
No more fear
Feel that sweet day
Coming near

"No Qualifications"

"No Qualifications"


Now he wanted to fly all those big aeroplanes
Trans-continental and back home again
But his brain, it was grounded
His head could not cope
No qualifications, no reasons for hope

They told him the right way to fasten his tie
Beat him for laughing and never said why
They left his for dead when the results came through
And still never asked what he wanted to do

No qualifications so late in the day
We've screwed you up, well, now you make your own way

Now to label your trousers and label your shoes
If you don't wear nothing then label that too

No qualifications, you are the time born
If you wanna succeed you better get some qualifications
So late in the day
We've screwed you up, well, now you make your own way
