"This Years Love"

"This Years Love"


This years love had better last
Heaven knows it's high time
And I've been waiting on my own too long
But when you hold me like you do
It feels so right
I start to forget
How my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feeling like you can't go on

Turning circles when time again
It cuts like a knife oh yeah
If you love me got to know for sure
Cos it takes something more this time
Than sweet sweet lies
Before I open up my arms and fall
Losing all control
Every dream inside my soul
And when you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet

This years love had better last
This years love had better last

So whose to worry
If our hearts get torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Don't you know this life goes on
And won't you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet

This years love had better last
This years love had better last
This years love had better last
This years love had better last

"Sail Away"


"Sail Away"


Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now

Crazy skies all wild above me now
Winter howling at my face
And everything I held so dear
Disappeared without a trace
Oh all the times I've tasted love
Never knew quite what I had
Little Darling if you hear me now
Never needed you so bad
Spinning round inside my head

Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now

I've been talking drunken gibberish
Falling in and out of bars
Trying to get some explanation here
For the way some people are
How did it ever come so far

Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now

[Repeat chorus]

"Say Hello Wave Goodbye"

"Say Hello Wave Goodbye"

Standing at the door of the pink Flamingo crying in the rain,
It was a kind of so-so love and I'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen again,
You and I had to be the standing joke of the year,
You were a run around, a lost and found, and not for me I feel

Take your hands off me, hey,
I don't belong to you, you see,
And take a look in my face, for the last time,
I never knew you, you never knew me,
Say hello goodbye,
Say hello and wave goodbye,

We tried to make it work, you in a cocktail skirt and me in a suit but it just wasn't me,
You're used to wearing less, and now your life's a mess, so insecure you see,
I put up with all the scenes, this is one scene that's going to be played my way

[Chorus:]
Say hello and wave goodbye

Under the deep red light I can see the make-up sliding down,
Well hey little girl you will always make up so take off that unbecoming frown,
As for me, well I'll find someone who's not going cheap in the sales,
A nice little housewife who'll give me a steady life and not keep going
off the rails,

[Chorus:]
Say hello and wave goodbye [repeat]

"Flame Turns Blue"

"Flame Turns Blue"


I went looking for someone I left behind
Yeah but no-one just a stranger did I find
I never noticed hadn't seen it as it grew
The void between us where the flame turns blue

Different places yeah but they all look the same
Dreams of faces in the streets devoured by names
I'm in collision with every stone I ever threw
And blind ambition where the flame turns blue

Words dismantled hey and all the books unbound
Conversations though we utter not a sound
I heard a rumour don't know if it's true
That you'd meet me where the flame turns blue

So I venture underneath the leaden sky
See the freight train with its one fierce eye
And then I listen as it tears the night in two
And a whistle and the flame turns blue

In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing

Through the lemon trees the diamonds of light
Break in splinters on the pages where I write
That if I lost you I don't know what I'd do
Burn forever where the flame turns blue
Yeah if I lost you I don't know what I'd do
Burn forever where the flame turns blue

In the morning I will sing In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing

"Twilight"

"Twilight"



Watch the twilight from my head
Hanging on a brighter thread
Little darling, till I see you once again

Tell the man to fill my cup
Honey I ain't gonna stop
Little darling, till I see you once again

Pinch me if I'm dreaming
I'm somewhere I've never been
When you lead me by my hand into the flame

Just the rain now on my hat
In the past what use is that
Little darling till I see you once again Na NA NA NA, NA NA NA

 

[Asmina]

"Hold On"

"Hold On"

Hold on hold on to me hold on hold on to me
Sometimes there's no easy way
Got to cause somebody pain
Watching you you hit so hard on yourself
Cos you need someone to blame

Oh now what will you do
Oh now what will you do
Can't help the way you're feeling
Don't want to leave him so alone
Lisa cries her red hair streaming down feels like her heart is made of stone

"As I'm Leaving"

"As I'm Leaving"


As I'm leaving a change comes on my eyes
These streets persuading me with mumbles strange goodbyes
And through the water, through the ring
To the soul of everything
Throw my heart out on the stones
And I'm almost gone

And there's no meaning in clothes and coffee cups
Cheap hotel furniture where silence never stops
And through the water, through the ring
To the soul of everything
Throw my heart out on the stones
And I'm almost gone

And now I'm dreaming I'm staring at the walls
At cars all frozen now in late night winterfalls
And through the water, through the ring
To the soul of everything
Throw my heart out on the stones
And I'm almost gone

"If Your Love Is Real"

"If Your Love Is Real"



These days spent staring at your photograph
Read your letter, made me laugh
But there's a shadow on the path
Till I know if your love is real

Cause its not as if a lot was said
Falling in and falling out of bed
But now the world's turned on its head
Till I know if your love is real

Spend a long time now, persuading myself
That I don't need no-one, nobody else
That I'd felt all there was to feel
I'm in a daydream now, I'm out to lunch
Should it come down to the crunch I'm wide open for that sucker punch
Till I know if your love is real
Till I know if your love is real

Spend a long time now, persuading myself
That I don't need no-one, nobody else that
I felt all there was to feel
Know if I should live one hundred years
I'll never see another face like yours
Or stranger seas, or brighter shores
Cause I know that my love is real oh my heart

"Tidal Wave"

"Tidal Wave"



Ever since your fingertips
Ever since your eyes
Talking with the lights on
Bluer skies

Even if I wanted to
How could I explain
Coming through my head now this
Tidal wave

All your favourite eyelashes
All your bluest skin
Bring them and I'll meet you in
That room again

Even if I told it true
Why should they believe
Coming through my head now this
Tidal wave
Tidal wave

Coming over waterloo
Dreaming of your hands
Want to run away now
Foreign lands

Even as I lie with you
Listen to you breathe
Coming through my head
Yeah this tidal wave
Tidal wave
Tidal wave

"Falling Down The Mountainside"

"Falling Down The Mountainside"


Without a word, you set your sights into the sun
When all the world, you put to rights is still so wrong
Pin your heart out on your sleeve spouting all that make believe
From your lips it seems they might come true

Falling down the mountainside with you
The clothes you wore, the people stared you looked so strange
To see you move, St. Vitus' dance was in your veins
Never once afraid to know, what it feels like when you go
Out beyond where logic keeps the view

Falling down the mountainside with you
Falling down
If you were here first thing I'd do is knock you down
You left me cold, to meet your ghost all over town

So grind the stone and spin the wheel
Lock the doors, on what you feel
Looking back, it's like i always knew

I'd be falling down the mountainside with you
Falling down the mountainside with you
Falling down the mountainside with you
Falling down the mountainside with you
