"Ghost"

"Ghost"


Go to bed sleepyhead
The boys have all gone away
You must be brave
Ride the wave
See the world in a day
I'm sorry
She's a lady
But a ghost from the past
Haven't seen my honey lately
Said our love wouldn't last
Soldier blue we've come for you
Half a crown for the chest
The little bird
She fell to earth
Perhaps it's all for the best
I'm sorry
She's a lady
But a ghost from the past
Haven't seen my sugar lately
Said how long would it last
She's a ghost from the past
Go to bed you sleepyhead
The boys have all gone away
You must be brave
Ride the wave
To see the world in a day
Now I'm sorry
She's a lady
But a ghost from the past
Where's my honey been lately
Said our love wouldn't last
(Can you hear the birds)
(Can you feel the air)
(Can you see the light)
(Are you everywhere)
(Can you really fly)
(Can you feel the air)
(Can you see the light)
(You can be at one)
(Can you hear the birds)
(Can you feel the air)
(Can you see the light)
(Are you everywhere)
(Can you really fly)
(Can you feel the air)
(Can you see the light)
(You can be at one)
(Can you hear the birds)
(Can you feel the air)
(Can you see the light)
(Are you everywhere)
(Can you really fly)
(Can you feel the air)
(Can you see the light)
(You can be at one)
(Can you hear the birds)
(Can you feel the air)
(Can you see the light)
(Are you everywhere)
(Can you really fly)
(Can you feel the air)
(Can you see the light)
(You can be at one)
(Can you really fly)
(Can you really fly)
(Can you really fly)
(Can you see the light)
A ghost from the past
You said how long would it last
A ghost from the past
You said how long would it last
A ghost from the past
(Can you really fly)
You said how long would it last
A ghost from the past
(Can you really fly)
You said how long would it last
A ghost from the past
(Can you really fly)
You said how long would it last
A ghost from the past
(Can you really fly)
You said how long would it last
(Can you see the light)

"Gimme Gimme Gimme"

"Gimme Gimme Gimme"


Half past twelve and I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds blowing outside the window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom

There's not a soul out there
No-one to hear my prayer

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Movie stars find the end of the rainbow with a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Tired of T.V. I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no-one in sight

There's not a soul out there
No-one to hear my prayer

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight (Midnight)
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight (Midnight)
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Gimme
Gimme, gimme
Gimme
Gimme, gimme

There's not a soul out there
No-one to hear my prayer

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight (Midnight)
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight (Midnight)
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away

Gimme
Gimme, gimme
Gimme
Gimme, gimme
Gimme
Gimme, gimme
Gimme
Gimme, gimme

"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"

"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"


God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
For Jesus Christ our saviour was born upon this day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy

From God our heavenly father
A blessed angel came
And unto to certain sheperds
Glad tidings of the same
Now that in Bethlehem was born
The son of God by name
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy

Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And in true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace
This holy tide of Christmas all anger shall replace
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy

"Golden Heart"

"Golden Heart"


Like a bubble that's floating
On high above
I won't break down
I won't cry
But the colours are melting
I am fragile

I've been acting so coldly
And hope some day
That you will forgive me

You are the one
That knows me for who I really am
It'll all be gone in the morning
We are lucky
Owe it all to fortune

Golden heart
Tears of love
Shining
Will glow

There's a light at
The end of the tunnel
I am crawling slowly
I am small

What's been up with me lately?
Hardly know me
Who's that in the mirror?

You are the one
That knows my moods of joy and anger
You've been coping and lonely
We are lucky
Owe it all to fortune

Golden heart
Tears of love
Shining
Will glow

Golden heart
Tears of love
Shining
Will glow

Golden heart
Tears of love
Shining
Will glow

"Goodnight"
(originally by Cliff Eberhardt)

"Goodnight"
(originally by Cliff Eberhardt)



Sleepless nights don't bother me at all
If dawn comes, I won't worry
Something deep inside keeps me awake
I wish that you were here right beside me, woah
I recall when I was very young
And could not go to sleep
My father sang me songs to make me tired
But memories don't make it easier
So, goodnight, wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream, you dream of me
So, goodnight, wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream, you dream of me
Now I lie awake and it's no fun
Tossing and turning
I'd call you if it weren't so very late
But telephones don't bring you close to me, woah
I recall the times we stayed up late
Wide awake but still dreaming
There was nothing on this earth could make me tired
But memories don't make it easier
So, goodnight, wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream, if you dream, you dream of me
So, goodnight, wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream, if you dream, you dream of me
And I hope that if you dream, you dream of me

"Grace"

"Grace"


Looking in the papers makes me sorry to be human
A little ray of hope won't hurt at all
A price on every head, and it's cheaper when you're dead
The quality of life may have to fall
Muffled voices
World in action
Stir the peaceful
Need for longing
I cannot describe the fear inside my heart
I hereby do swear to live my life in accordance with grace
Guess it's human nature to be cruel and to be heartless
It's no excuse to shoot him when he's down
Crawl in on your knees and then bite the hand that feeds
The cages throw their shadows 'cross the ground
Where's the sense in senseless violence
Hear the silence too forgiving
I cannot describe the fear inside my heart
I hereby do swear to live my life in accordance with grace
(Grace)
(Grace)
Press your hands into the pavement
Bathed in glory, here's your moment
I cannot describe the fear inside my heart
I hereby do swear to live my life in accordance with grace
I cannot describe the fear inside my heart
I hereby do swear to live my life in accordance with grace (Accordance with grace)
I cannot describe the fear inside my heart
I hereby do swear to live my life in accordance with grace

"Hallowed Ground"

"Hallowed Ground"


Everybody's intent on killing someone
The streets are closed and there's a kid on the run
The bullets scream out from gun to gun
Everybody's intent on being someone

The cold and darkness of a criminal dawn
Wrapped in blankets gotta keep ourselves warm
A child in the arms of a teenage mum
Who will be there, who will be the next victim
Of the criminal dawn?

Old friends meet on the edge of town
Sharing conversation, hoping things will soon get better
While the children meet, got the world at their feet
Not knowing what's around the corner
Are we living for an uncertain future?

Down on the corner sits a broken man
Lives by the bottle, swears "never again"
Lost his money on the dogs and gin
Now he looks for his supper in a garbage can

The kids hang around by the old schoolground
Right by the river where the body was found
Throwing stones on hallowed ground
Who will be there, who will be the next victim
Of the criminal dawn?

Old friends meet on the edge of town
Sharing conversation, hoping things will soon get better
While the children meet, got the world at their feet
Not knowing what's around the corner
Are we living for an uncertain future

Can you hear them calling

In the cold and darkness of a criminal dawn
Wrapped in blankets gotta keep ourselves warm
A child in the arms of a teenage mum
Who will be there, who will be the last victim
Of the criminal dawn?

Old friends meet on the edge of town
Sharing conversation, hoping things will soon get better
While the children meet, got the world at their feet
Not knowing what's around the corner
Are we living for an uncertain future?

Old friends meet on the edge of town
Sharing conversation, hoping things will soon get better
While the children meet, got the world at their feet
Not knowing what's around the corner
Are we living for an uncertain future

"Heart Of Glass"

"Heart Of Glass"


Once I had love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Mucho mistrust
Love's gone behind
Once I had love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Mucho mistrust
Love's gone behind
In between what I find is pleasing
And I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good
You teasing like you do
Once I had love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Mucho mistrust
Love's gone behind
Lost inside adorable illusion
And I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We could've made it cruising, yeah
La la la la la la (Come on now)
La la la la la la
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light
Ooh-ooh, woah
Ooh-ooh, woah
Ooh-ooh, woah
Ooh-ooh, woah
Once I had love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Mucho mistrust
Love's gone behind
In between what I find is pleasing
And I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good
You teasing like you do
La la la la la la

"Heart Of Stone"

"Heart Of Stone"


I cry for your heart of stone
I'm gonna wait until you come home
Oh why I am all alone
I'm as good as dead yeah

Ooh I lost my sense of passion and direction
To protect myself from hurting and despair
Listen to my heart my soul is aching
Fool or saint
Cause you went and left me
And you so upset me

I can't believe that you would ever find it easy
To walk away as if you'd never really cared
Did you expect that I'd give in and beg for mercy
Out in the gutter
Out in the gutter

I cry for your heart of stone
I'm gonna wait until you come home
Oh why I am all alone
I'm as good as dead yeah

Ooh I look back on the first night with affection
And if you had a heart you'd remember too
The way we used to run around like little children
Fool or saint
My mother told me
You'd be no good for me

I cry for your heart of stone
I'm gonna wait until you come home
Oh why I am all alone
I'm as good as dead yeah

Listen to my heart my soul is aching
Out in the gutter
I got to break that heart of stone

I cry for your heart of stone
I'm gonna wait until you come home
Oh why I am all alone
I'm as good as dead yeah

I cry for your heart of stone
I'm gonna wait until you come home
Oh why I am all alone
I'm as good as dead yeah

I cry for your heart of stone
I'm gonna wait until you come home
Oh why I am all alone
I'm as good as dead yeah
