"Conversation"

"Conversation"



To you it's just another day
When you see the sun you say
That's the way the day begins
And promises you make
Do you really mean to keep
Or are they words you say to fill the silent space

And when there's an empty moment
Won't you dedicate it to me
Or is it spent on burning incense
Or painting rooms in white
Lord won't you call me today just to say hello

Conversation is the name of the game
We got phone calls and letters
And brown paper parcels with To My Baby
To my baby
To my baby
With all my love

And when there's an empty moment
Won't you dedicate it to me
Or is it spent on burning incense
Or painting rooms in white
Lord won't you call me today just to say hello

"Cool Blue Stole My Heart"

"Cool Blue Stole My Heart"



I swear you were not my ambition
A cooling aid was on my mind
I walked up to the bar and I ordered
Then I took my ice outside
I sat down under the hot sun
I looked around at this new land
And then oh
Cool Blue
Long dark
You stole my heart
Stole my heart

I woke up first light next morning
And I took a tram to the Leidse Plein
I hired a bike and I drove around for hours
I was searching for those dark eyes
I made a stop at the Blue Note
I passed up a chance for some good fun
Cause of you
Cool Blue
Long dark
You stole my heart
Stole my heart
Stole my heart
Stole my heart

Stole my heart

I made a stop at the Blue Note
Passed up a chance for some good fun
Looking for you, Cool Blue
Looking for you
Long dark
Cool blue
Looking for you, Cool Blue
Looking For You, Cool Blue
You stole my heart
Stole my heart
Stole my heart
Stole my heart
Stole my heart

I'm looking for you
You stole my heart
Stole my heart
Stole my heart
Stole my heart
Stole my heart

I sat down under the hot sun
You stole my heart
I'm looking for you
Looking for you
Looking for you, Cool Blue

"Cradled In Your Love"

"Cradled In Your Love"



What was so special
We were exact
So much together
We were like that
You'd send chills down my spine
Or burn me up
With your desire

What happened to you and me
And the love that we once knew

I read the letters
I found the cards
Not hidden well
I thought love
Transcended lust
I guess my heart was wishing

What happened to you and me
And the love that we once knew
You never said it would end
And I thought we were unique

Safe and sound
Cradled in your love

What happened to you and me
And the love that we once knew
You never said it would end
And I thought we were unique

You never said it would end
And I thought I could depend
On a life time
Spent with you

"Crazy"

"Crazy"



I don't mind if you tell me
That you're never coming back no more
Don't mind if you say
A dozen women got babies
And they're all yours
Don't mind if you tell me
That you got to work late tonight
No matter what you're saying
As long as you say it while

You hold me in your arms
Squeeze me nice and tight
Let's get down to business
I hear you speak
But my lips still seek your kisses
I know I'm crazy

There's women who want you for your money
Well they get what they deserve
May you never
Reach rock bottom babe
But I'd be there
With some extra fine clothes
So you can

Take me on the town
Flaunt our love around
Dancing rude
We're gonna leave
Cos the steam will start a hissin'
You drive me crazy

Let me
Hold you in my arms
Hug your breath away
Let's get down to business
My younger days
Must have lacked some supervision
You lead me astray

Me myself and I want you
I know you're a lover who can't be true
I'm lucky that I got you
To show me love and affection
Tonight
Let's get down to business
I hear you speak
But my lips still seek your kisses
I know I'm crazy

Hold me in your arms
Squeeze me nice and tight
Let's get down to business
I hear you speak
But, my lips still seek your kisses
Drive me crazy

"Crazy For You"

"Crazy For You"



I wanted you when and I want you now
And I always will
I wanted the best
And you are the best
Please don't leave

I don't want you to go
I'm a fool for you baby
I just want you to know
I'm a fool for you baby

Talked with a friend
We were up all night
We were looking at words
I searched for the ones
That would change your mind
Please

I just want you to know
I'm a fool for you baby
I just want you to know
I'm a fool for you baby
La da da da da

In this strange and troubled world
In this strange and troubled world

In this strange and troubled world
I just lost my mind
Let's clean the slate and start again
Don't leave me unforgiven

And I want you to know
My life is in your hands
I just want you to know
It's only you

I wasn't looking for someone else
And even at intimate times I felt
Like I was watching another life
In another world
In another time
And all the while my heart was crying
Crying like a little child
Cos all I wanted was you so much
But I just couldn't help myself

And I want you to know
You have the smile that I'm after
I just want you to know
I'm crazy crazy
For you
For your laughter
For your love

"D.N.A."

"D.N.A."



Please sit down
Tell me what you got to say
Now there's a difference between truth and lies
I can check
I've got your DNA
Now look me right between the eyes
Tell me when I saw you
And your new lady friend
What were you talking about
When you laughed
And your two cheeks met
What were you talking about

Let us talk
In the morning, babe
I've got your DNA and the lie detect
How I thought I could change you, babe
All those flies buzzing round your head

Look at me
There's nothing new over there
You've seen that stereo a thousand times
Lift your head
And lift my spirits up
Because you know
I'm dying deep inside
Don't you care about me
Are you looking for freedom
Is that what you're thinking about
Do you wanna hold me in your arms and kiss
Cos that's what I'm thinking about

Let us talk
In the morning, babe
I've got your DNA and the lie detect
How I thought I could change your ways
All those flies buzzing round your head

You got a brand new way of loving
Keeping the lights turned on
You keep a comb in your pocket
And your shinny shiny shoes
Yeah don't touch the ground these days
What's going on
Yeah you think I'm stupid cos I don't complain
Better sit your self down start talking fast
And if the lying don't kill you
The truth just might make you fade away
Fade away
Fade away

"Dark Truths"

"Dark Truths"



I've told some dark truths
And I can't keep on lying
'Cos one day I'll find
I'm not your hero

It's so nice
That someone thinks you're special
Treat them right
That trust in you is precious
All the same
We make mistakes

I've used up a few lives
Now I'm afraid of dying
'Cos one day I'll find
You're not forgiving

It's so nice
There's someone to rely on
Treat them right
That trust in you is precious
All the same
All the same
We make mistakes
And I've used up a few lives
Oh...

"Did I Make You Up"

"Did I Make You Up"



I've been searching for so long
I've been searching for so long
You took control
You made me feel
As if I could
You made me feel
As if I would
You made me feel
As I really should
Do anything

Did I live before
You came upon the scene
Did I make you up
Or are you just a dream
Can you make this feeling last
Can you make this feeling last

I've been searching for so long
I've been searching for so long
My forever man
When you look into my eyes
Did I make you up
Or are you just a dream
Can you make this feeling last
Can you make this feeling last

You took control
You made me feel
As if I could
You made me feel
As if I would
You made me feel
As I really should
Do anything

Did I make you up
Did I make you up
Did I make you up
Or are you just a dream

I've been searching for so long
I've been searching for so long

"Don Juan"

"Don Juan"



I want that very special love
You hold on to
I want that passion
I won't play with words

You could be Don Juan
You could fire my desire
And you do

I want to hear I'm very special
I want to be the first thing that comes
To your mind when you wake up to the day
I want that very special love you have

There was never any doubt
I fell for you
Possessor
You have my heart

You could be Don Juan
You could fire my desire
And you do

Take all of me
Don't break my heart
Don't break my heart
Take all of me
Don't break my heart
Don't break my heart

You could be Don Juan
You could fire my desire
And you do

I want to be the one you cling to
When you feel all the pressures of the world
I want that very special love you have
I want that very special love you have
I want that very special love you have
Possessor
You have my heart
You could be Don Juan
You have my heart
You have my heart
