"Water With The Wine"

"Water With The Wine"



Met him on a Monday
And he said he loved me so
Walked me to my door
Before I knew it to my living room

I thought there was no need for worry
When he took me in his arms
Drank some whisky
Hung his coat upon the stand

That's when the music started
I heard the light switch click
I stumbled on a lost shoe
The fever's starting

This man was getting hot
I got no strength to make him stop
I guess it's too late
But I'll know next time
To mix some water with the wine

The sun came pouring in at five
Upon my face
I felt the taste of last night's love
Upon my lips
I wasn't sure if I had dreamt it
Or had not
But there across the pillow was the face
I had forgot

That's when he said he loved me
Could be the truth this time
He put his arms about me
Fever's starting

This man was getting hot
I got no strength to make him stop
I guess it's too late
But I'll know next time
To mix some water with the wine

"Weak Woman"

"Weak Woman"



Darling
I've got to tell you what I've done
I know
I'm gonna fill your heart with pain
But please believe me
I'm never gonna do it again

I said please
Forgive this weak woman
I said please
Forgive this weak woman
I had to tell you
The heart was strong
But the flesh was willing

Now I can't explain it
Cos no one looks as good as you
I was struck by lightning
I was blinded
I was so confused
Before I knew it
I was dancing across the room

I said please
Forgive this weak woman
I said please
Forgive this weak woman
I had to tell you
The heart was strong
But the flesh was willing

Please
Forgive this weak woman
I said please
Forgive this weak woman
I had to tell you
The heart was strong
But the flesh was willing

Never wanted to hurt you baby
How did I get in this mess
My eyes were bigger than my memory
How could I forget
Please
I had to tell you
I had to tell you
Forgive me this one time
I had to tell you
Forgive me this one time

Please
Forgive this weak woman
I said please
Forgive this weak woman
I had to tell you
The heart was strong
But the flesh was willing

"What Do Boys Dream"

"What Do Boys Dream"



Do boys dream about
Living in a constant ecstasy
Do boys dream about
The same kind of things
That young girls dream

What do the boys dream
What do the boys all dream of

Do boys dream about
Life in space and hallucination
Do boys dream about
The killing of a friend
The investigation

What do the boys dream
What do the boys all dream of

Do boys dream about
The great escape of the mythical monsters
Do boys dream about
The big romance
With the girl of their dreams

What do the boys dream
What do the boys all dream of

Do the boys dream about
the wonders of the world and all in colour
Do boys dream about
The big romance
With the girl of their dreams

What do the boys dream
What do the boys all dream of

"What Do You Want"

"What Do You Want"



What do you want
What do you want
You're messing up everybody else
By being so cool
What is it you need
What is it mmm
You confuse a lot of people's minds
By being undecided

Said you loved me once
The way you made me feel
Now why does it hurt so bad
Oh baby please don't go
I'm begging you to stay
You know that breaking up
Is so sad

Where do you go
Who do you now
There's a face
I can't recall
And I'm wary of most strangers
Am I the fool
Have you blinded me
You're breaking up a heart
So bad but the bruise
Draws out real slow

Said you loved me once
The way you made me feel
Now why does it hurt so bad
Oh baby please don't go
I'm begging you to stay
You know that breaking up
Is so sad
Oh baby please don't go

"Whatever's For Us"

"Whatever's For Us"



Speaking of love
You ask how much you should give
Expect and receive
Take what you could, give what you must coz
Whatever's for us, for us
Mmmmmm
Whatever's for us, for us

Speaking of pride
You ask but why, what for
And what it should be
Do what you will, say what you must coz
Whatever's for us, for us

Speaking of life
You ask how, how right you are
To be feared or loved
Heed not a lie, fear not to trust coz
Whatever's for us, for us
Mmmmmm
Whatever's for us, for us

"When I Get It Right"

"When I Get It Right"



You always say
When I just messed up
Did bad
Done wrong
Gone too far
Caused such pain
Such shame
I'm illegal
See one sided
No fair
A sin there
Act queer
Odd ball

I mishandle
You trample
So strong
Wear crown
Under foot
Put upon
Hold down

Hey when I get it right
Will you tell me please
I wanna know

You always say no
You don't mean yes
No way
Hold out
Turn around
Two refusals
Deaf ear
Turned here
Not want
Leave room
All fault here
Shake head
Drop dead

"When You Kisses Me"

"When You Kisses Me"



I'm trying to set
Your heart on fire
I wanna be
Your one desire

'Cos when you kisses me
Make me feel so nice inside
Make me feel so good

I wanna tell the world
I'm glad I found you
I'm a lucky girl
With you to hold me

'Cos when you kisses me
Make me feel so nice inside
Make me feel so good

Like my baby
There's no other
You can tempt me but
You won't hold me
Oh my darlin'
Don't you worry
No false promise
Ain't no lie
I may look over my shoulder
But I'll never leave your side

Both day and night
You fill my dreams
Who should I thank
For all you bring me

'Cos when you kisses me
Make me feel so nice inside

"Willow"

"Willow"



I may not be your best
You know good ones don't come by the score
You've got something missing
I'll help you look you can be sure
And if you want to be alone
Or someone to share a laugh
Whatever you want me to
All you gotta do is ask

Thunder
Don't go under the sheets
Lightning under a tree
In the rain and snow
I'll be your fire side
Come running to me
When things get out of hand
Running to me
When it's more than you can stand

I said I'm strong
Straight
Willing
To be a
Shelter
In a storm
Your willow
Oh willow
When the sun is out

A fight with your best girl
Prettiest thing you ever saw
You know I'll listen
Try to get a message to her
And if it's money you want
Or trouble halved
Whatever you want me to
All you gotta do is ask

I said I'm strong
Straight
Willing
To be a
Shelter
In a storm
Your willow
Oh willow
When the sun is out

Shelter in a storm
Your willow
Oh willow
When the sun is out

"Wishing"

"Wishing"



I saw a star
Falling
Like an old
Hollywood actress
A neon sign
With just one letter showing

A burned out light
At my feet
I took a wish
I wished on that jewel
From the sky

I wished on the moon
Haunting the trees
A target too big for the sky
I wanted it so bad
I was wishing on a prayer

But it kept right on dodging
A riderless horse
To the left, to the right
Straight to the eye
Yet changing direction
There within reach
And then out of sight

I'd waited too long
Watched for that pot to boil
Waited too long for the whistle
I wanted it so bad
I was wishing on a prayer

But it kept right on dodging
A riderless horse
To the left, to the right
Straight to the eye
Yet changing direction
There within reach
And then out of sight

"Woncha Come On Home"

"Woncha Come On Home"



Every light is on
But all the rooms
Are empty
Except one
Oh babe don't stay too late
You know I hate to be alone
And I'm alone
Baby woncha come on home

There's a madman
Standing on the corner
And he keeps on looking
At my window
Oh baby woncha come on home
Home

Every key is turned
And every window's bolted
From inside
Oh babe you know I get so scared
You know I couldn't live alone
It's just been confirmed
Baby woncha come on home

Standing on the corner
Is a madman
Looking at my window
Oh baby woncha come on home
Home
Baby woncha come on home

There's a man
Standing on the corner
Now a shadow
Moves across the window
Oh baby woncha come on home
Home
