"Like To Get To Know You Well"

"Like To Get To Know You Well"



Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
So we can be one
We can be one together

Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
So we can be one
We can be one together

Together we can cast away the fear
Together we can wipe away the tear
Together we can strip down the barriers
And be one

Don't wanna talk about the weather
Don't wanna talk about the news
Just wanna get to the real you inside

Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
So we can be one
We can be one together

Don't you think now is the time
We should be feelin'
Just wanna simply say
Won't let you slip away

People wanna talk about the future
Don't wanna linger on the past
Just wanna reach the real you inside
Forget cold glances and rejections
Leave the things that separate
Build on a trust that we can stand on

Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
So we can be one
We can be one together

Finding all are insecure
Opening the same door
Leaving out a stubborn pride
Seeing from the other side

Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
So we can be one
We can be one together

Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
So we can be one
We can be one together

Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
So we can be one
We can be one together

Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
So we can be one
We can be one together

Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
So we can be one
We can be one together

"Little Bit Of Snow"

"Little Bit Of Snow"



Please don't throw you away we need you to stay
When you die a part of us dies
Not the body but part of the soul
You have a light for us we need every glimmer
Don't destroy yourself in a little bit of snow
When there is no feeling and no pain
It only lasts a little while
When one light goes out a part of all of us cries

Please hang on for us
Please give you to us
Don't destroy yourself in a little bit of snow

Please don't throw you away we need you to stay
When you die a part of us dies
Not the body but part of the soul
Drink the sunshine warm to the rain
Keep the glimmer alive for all of us
And a million matches in the night
Will help to light the way
When one light goes out
A part of all of us cries

Please hang on for us
Please give you to us
Don't destroy yourself in a little bit of snow

Drink the sunshine, warm to the rain
Keep the glimmer alive for all of us
And a million matches in the night
Will help to light the way
When one light goes out
A part of all of us cries

"Look Mama"

"Look Mama"



Honey, I think Audrey's a little mature for you
No I don't think she's mature I think she's nice
Hey mom when are we going
Look mama I Love you
But you gotta let me live my life
Look mama I Love you
But you gotta let me live my life

Don't wrap me up in cotton wool
You can't treat me like a fool
Anyway if I was, you gotta let me be one
OK give me your advice
It's not my fault if I can't be wise
Show me a person who hasn't been done

Look mama I Love you
But you gotta let me live my life
Look mama I Love you
But you gotta let me live my life

Don't try to stick your rules on me
I wasn't born as a carbon copy
I came out of you
But don't think that you own me
I have my respect for you
I won't try to change the things you do
Give me a break
Let me learn it my way
You think you know more than me
Experience hasn't set you free

Look mama I Love you
Look mama, look, look mama, look
Look mama I Love you
Loom mama, look, look mama, look

I gotta make my own mistakes
Why can't you treat me like a friend

Look mama I Love you
But you gotta let me live my life
Look mama I Love you
But you gotta let me live my life

Look mama I Love you
Look mama, look, look mama, look
Look mama, look

"Love Is A Good Thing"

"Love Is A Good Thing"



We stay up late
We get no sleep
My body's aching
I got no money left
My friends say I'm loosing it
You so bad for me
But that's a good thing
Love is a good thing

Every room we're in
Gets trashed from floor to ceiling
Your kiss is killing me
When I part from your sweet lips
My dreams of you are censored
Restless end in sight
But that's a good thing
Love is a good thing
Love is a good thing
Love is a good thing

The first law of love
Is all the rules could be re written
The second law of love
Is just what we make it
No question
That's a good thing
Love's a good thing

The first law of love
Is all the rules could be re written
The second law of love
Is just what we make it
No question
That's a good thing
Love's a good thing

The first law of love
Is all the rules could be re written
The second law of love
Is just what we make it
No question
That's a good thing
Love's a good thing

"Love Never Wasted"

"Love Never Wasted"



I remember the day we met
Like a thunderbolt out of the blue
You seemed to like the way that I came across
It always meant more to me than it meant to you

Recalling a daydream I had as a child
A half-hidden memory a more innocent time

Your love’s never wasted if that love is true
Cos all that you’re giving out
Will surely be coming back to you
In the strangest of ways
On your darkest of days
Cos all that you’re giving out
Will surely be coming back ...to you

So no need to be worrying
No need to count the cost
No searching on the outside for the inside world
No finding no loss

I’m remembering something so distant so fine
Ancient, eternal, but still ahead of it’s time

Your love’s never wasted if that love is true
Cos all that you’re giving out
Will surely be coming back to you
In the strangest of ways
On your darkest of days
Cos all that you’re giving out
Will surely be coming back ...to you

So love with abandon
Love without judgment and love without fear
With Confidence in tomorrow
Love with a smile and a tear
It’s not always reflected not always fulfilled
Love’s not out to get you, but wants you to build

Your love’s never wasted (Love’s never wasted)
If that love is true (if that love is true)
Cos all that you’re giving out (Cos all that you’re giving out)
Will surely becoming back to you(Will surely becoming back to you)
In the strangest of ways (In the strangest of ways)
On your darkest of days(On your darkest of days)
Cos all that you’re giving out(Cos all that you’re giving out)
Will surely be coming back (Will surely be coming back)...to you

Your love’s never wasted
Your love’s never wasted
Cos all that you’re giving out
Will surely becoming back to you
Your love’s never wasted
Your love’s never wasted
Will surely be coming back

"Modern Man"

"Modern Man"



Give him something to hang on to
Give him something that won't fade
Give him dreams that won't be shattered
Give him a life with the bills all paid

But it never ever comes his way
They were telling him lies all day

Let him have a cast iron religion,
Give him something that's always right
Make love in one position
Give him justice without a fight

But it never ever comes his way
They were telling him lies all day

(I'm a modern man) what's it like to be a modern man oh oh
With a vision of a life that can't be found (I'm a modern man)
What's it like to be a modern man oh oh
With a vision of a life that can't be found


Let him have a life without conflict
While your at it give him everything he needs
He wants the cake and he wants the pudding
But he doesn't ever want to bleed

But it never ever comes his way
They were telling him lies all day

(I'm a modern man) what's it like to be a modern man oh oh
With a vision of a life that can't be found
(I'm a modern man) what's it like to be a modern man oh oh
With a vision of a life that can't be found

You told him it was always black & white
You wound up living in a world of grey
But it never ever comes his way oh oh

(I'm a modern man) what's it like to be a modern man oh oh
With a vision of a life that can't be found
(I'm a modern man) what's it like to be a modern man oh oh
With a vision of a life that can't be found

(I'm a modern man) what's it like to be a modern man oh oh (give me a life without conflict)
With a vision of a life that can't be found (give me everything I need)
(I'm a modern man) what's it like to be a modern man oh oh (I want the cake and I want the pudding)
With a vision of a life that can't be found (but I don't want to bleed)

"Natural"

"Natural"


Everything around is natural don't fight it
Don't disagree with this and that, no
Astrology, Evolution, this-and-that-ity
This religion and that, no

[Chorus:]
And if they were not meant to be
Well don't you think they wouldn't be
And if they were not meant to be
Well don't you think they wouldn't be, oh

Your beliefs, philosophy, don't give us peace
Destruction of our enemy does it make us right
And if you took them apart and destroyed them all now one by one
This still won't make it work, no

Everything we like and don't like is whole and natural
I know is doesn't feel like it and the world seems wrong
But if we don't like it now then who can we blame
Blame God, be still, find harmony

"Never Say Bye"

"Never Say Bye"



Remember the time
Of power & passion
Now the sticks & stones have spoken
Waiting for dust
To settle around us
Were we really in the same place
At the same time

Never say bye
Don't be stranger
Living was easy
In love for a season
Never say bye
Thanks for the memory
Everything changes
If truth is forever

Shiny & new
But just for a moment
Will your gold return to glitter
Someday we'll find
A meeting of minds
Goodbye doesn't mean to be cruel
But dies on the vine

Never say bye...

"New Man"

"New Man"



No, he won't go drinkin' with his friends no more
Yes, he will do his share of all the chores
He feels guilty about the kids he doesn't see
But he'll try to make it up to the family

Yes, he understands you need your room to breathe
Yes, of course he'll do the minding in your hour of need
No, he won't start leering when your friends come 'round
No, he won't go to those shows when he's out of town

Yes, he's a New Man, he's the rage
Yes, he's a New Man, turned a new page

No, he won't try to make out that he's the boss
He will try to share the love, and share the cost
No, he won't override you if you're not in the mood
He will try to adopt a gentle attitude

Yes, he's a New Man, he's the rage
Yes, he's a New Man, turned a new page

Yes, he's a New Man, he's the rage
Yes, he's a New Man, turned a new page

"New Song"

"New Song"



I've been waiting for so long
To come here now and sing this song
Don't be fooled by what you see
Don't be fooled by what you hear

This is a song to all of my friends
They take the challenge to their hearts
Challenging preconceived ideas
Saying goodbye to long standing fears

Don't crack up
Bend your brain
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains

I don't wanna be hip and cool
I don't wanna play by the rules
Not under the thumb of the cynical few
Or laden down by the doom crew

Don't crack up
Bend your brain
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains

Don't crack up
Bend your brain
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains

I've been waiting for so long
To come here now and sing this song
Don't be fooled by what you see
Don't be fooled by what you hear

This is a song to all of my friends
They take the challenge to their hearts
Challenging preconceived ideas
Saying goodbye to long standing fears

Don't crack up
Bend your brain
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains
