"September Blue"

"September Blue"

Your head spins round on a Monday
And the daylight's in your eyes
How you laughed and cursed tomorrow
Now he's standing by your side
You touched the stars at midnight
The whole world seem to shout 'Hello'
Now your throat is tired and heavy
And only one can go

I'll be all right though I may cry
The tears that flow they always dry
It's just that I would rather be with you now
And every time I see that star
I will say a prayer for you
Now and forever September blue

I'll be all right though I may cry
The tears that flow they always dry
It's just that I would rather be with you now
And every time I see that star
I will say a prayer for you
Now and forever September blue
'Cos I'll always love you
September blue

"Shadows Of The Big Man"

"Shadows Of The Big Man"

Oh you've been so long
In the shadows of the big man
How long can you take it
How far can you go
Don't you know how strong
In the shadows of the big man
While he smiles in the sunlight
You can die in the cold

Spend your life, In the shadows of the big man
Sell your wife and children, if it made him smile
How long can you take it, or do you really need it!
Oh standing in the shadws, the shadows of the big man
And you'd love all the world to see
How you break your chains and set yourself free
And all you got to do is walk away
Walk away from the shadows of the big man

"She Closed Her Eyes"

"She Closed Her Eyes"

She closed her eyes
And let the walls of her prison fall away
The walls that ached with a timeless wait
They had become her walls of this modern tv life
She closed her eyes
And let them fall away
And in her dreams she is standing by an ocean
She is gazing out to sea
She can remember with just a fleeting glimpse
That she was once free
So long ago now, so long it was as if it had never been
Was it a holiday
She thinks it could have been, ah yes, italy

And he closes his eyes
And he is gone far away
Gone from all the confusion
Gone from all the pain
He can easily see what a pointless waste
His modern life has become
Chasing the gravy grain
Chasing the dollar
Chasing the clock
Chasing his male friends
Chasing the boss
Chasing as it was everything
It was nothing

Only the sound of his own breathing was all he had
At the end of the day
And reasons to wonder, reasons to cry
Too late for this selfish sinner who never asked why

"She Gave It Away"

"She Gave It Away"

She gave away all her love
No reason to keep it
She'd saved it for only one
But he didn't need it
And downtown the midnight circus
Hypnotised like a spinning top
Offering dreams, like the gloss magazines
She had so much to give so she gave it away

And all of the loves you've known
There must have been someone
Who gave you that starry night
And whose gonna point the finger
Only those who never known
She lost and she cried, the tears run dry
She had so much to give so she gave it away

Mary was like you and I
She remembers how she lay with him
But to the world she's just a drunken cheap trick
Red light side kick, an angel downtown

The priest calls her Wednesdays
And shows her a wooden cross
He tells of the love he's found
She thinks of the one she lost
And downtown the midnight circus
Hypnotised like a spinning top
So easy to choose when there's nothing to lose
She had so much to give so she gave it away

"She's A Whole Heap Of Trouble"

"She's A Whole Heap Of Trouble"

Better look out
Cos she's coming for you
Oh, you better get ready
Oh, she's waiting for you
She's a whole heap of trouble
I know what she's gonna do

She'll give you lipstick fever
Take your eyes off her mouth
She got that come on over look
You know what I'm talking about
Well, she's a whole heap of trouble
She's gonna take you out

She don't care nothing about you
She play around 'til you're broke
You better hand onto your money
Or it'll go up in smoke, yes it will
She's gonna burst your bubble
She's a whole heap of trouble

She's going to break your heart
She's a whole heap of trouble
She's gonna burst your bubble
She's a whole heap of trouble
yeah, she's a whole heap of trouble

"Shine, Shine, Shine"

"Shine, Shine, Shine"

And now the day is over
And the shadows start to grow
The sun has done us well today
In flaming crimson he explodes
And bursts of million colours
That spill across the sky
I turn and look at you love
And I know the reason why
Such a long time
Like good wine
Getting better every day
Now you know, I'll never go
So you'll always stay

And our love will keep on shining
Through the wind and the rain
And when the day is over
Our love will shine again
And as the years fly over
I'm feeling younger every day
The love that you have given me
Is more than I can say

Shine, shine, shine

"Shirley, Do You Own A Ferrari?"
(feat. Shirley Bassey)

"Shirley, Do You Own A Ferrari?"
(feat. Shirley Bassey)

[Chris Rea:]
Shirley
Do you own a Ferrari?
Do you live in a wonderful place?
And the smile on your face
Is of joyful laughter, happy ever after

[Shirley Bassey:]
Yes, I own a Ferrari
Yes, my life is your dream
And I live in a wonderful place
And the smile on my face
Is not sycophantic
I'm just a true romantic
How about you?

What is so wrong
With a heart with a dream
A soul without hope
Is a terrible scene

Deep in the coldest and darkest of nights
I hang on to my dream
Keep it locked in my sights

What is so wrong
With a heart with a dream
A soul without hope
Is a terrible scene

Deep in the coldest and darkest of nights
I hang on to my dream
Keep it locked in my sights

[Chris Rea:]
Shirley, do you own a Ferrari?

"Shy Boy"

"Shy Boy"

Shy boy
What's this thing that makes you blue
Shy boy
Hurting in everything you do
Why boy
Can't you throw away those chains
Don't be shy boy
Shy shy boy

Shy boy
Don't you let this moment go
Shy boy
How you love to let her know
why boy
Do you let it hurt you so
Don't cry boy
Don't be a shy boy

You can run
But you sure can't hide
It's so easy to see
Deep down inside
What you're feeling
What you're going through
You're whole world's turning
Turning a deep shade of blue
Swap your tears of pain
To tears of joy
Don't be shy boy
A shy shy boy

"Since I Don't See You Anymore"

"Since I Don't See You Anymore"

The gas-lamp flickers in the night
And jingle-jangles in the wind
The pool-hall cowboys play and play
'Cos pool-hall hot shots don't go home
And a lonely breeze sends shivers
From a distant shore
Since I don't see you anymore

The morning curtains gently sway
A gap throws light across the room
You curse that noisy radio
Even when you turn it down
It tells us bad news of a distant war
And I don't see you anymore
Since I didn't see you
Since I didn't see you
Since I don't see you anymore

No me da un bledo si senor
Since I don't see you anymore
I've always got time for one more
Since I don't see you anymore
And a lonely breeze sends shivers
From a distant shore
And the tears fall faster now love
Much more than before
Since I don't see you anymore
Sing a song of love to me

Sing a song of love to me
As the shadows start to grow
And I won't be sad and lonely
Anymore

'Cos if you sing a song of love to me
I will always find a smile
That will warm my cold, cold heart
Just for a while
Songs of love I know so well
Yea, I've seen some days and had some times
Lucky boy I can hear you say
You think my sun does nothing but shine

"Since I Found You"

"Since I Found You"

There's a smile on the faces I see
Since I found you
There's a laugh in the eye, where a tear used to be
Since I found you
There's a sound of a Memphis section playing on my radio
And it sings of the reasons why I love you so
Since I found you

There's a groove that's so smooth
I can hardly tell who's in the studio
And the girls on the street
Sing out of tune so sweet
I just have to go, it's all i need to know
Since I found you, I ain't never going to give you up
Since I found you, you keep me looking up
You keep me looking up
You keep me looking up
Turn it up
