"Down To Zero"

"Down To Zero"



Oh the feeling
When you're reeling
You step lightly thinking you're number one
Down to zero with a word leaving, for another one

Now you won't put you're feet back on the ground
Down to the ground down to the ground
Down to the ground down to the ground

Brand new dandy
First class scene stealer
Walks through the crowd and takes your man
Sends you rushing to the mirror
Brush your eyebrows and say
"There's more beauty in you than anyone"

Oh, remember who walked the warm sand beside you
Moored to your heel let the waves come rushing in
She took the worry from your head
But then again
She put trouble in your heart instead
And you fall
Down to the ground
Down to the ground

You'll know heartache
Still more crying when you're thinking of your mother's only son
Take to your bed
You say there's peace in sleep
But you dream of love instead
Oh, the heartache you'll find
Can bring more pain than a blistering sun

But oh when you fall
Oh when you fall
Fall at my door

Oh the feeling
When you're reeling
You step lightly thinking you're number one
Down to zero with a word
Leaving
For another one
Now you won't put you're feet back on the ground
Down to the ground down to the ground
Down to the ground down to the ground

You'll know heartache
Still more crying when you're thinking of your mother's only son
Take to your bed
You say there's peace in sleep
But you dream of love instead
But oh when you fall
Oh when you fall
Fall at my door

"Drop The Pilot"

"Drop The Pilot"



I'm right on target, my aim is straight
So you're in love, I say what of it?
Things can change, there's always changes
I wanna try some rearranging, I say

Drop the pilot, try my balloon
Drop the monkey, smell my perfume
Drop the mahout, I'm the easy rider
Don't use your army to fight a losing battle
Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need, I'm the one you need

You're kissing cousins, there's no smoke, no flame
If you lose that pilot I can fly your plane
If you want solid ground, come on and try me
Oh I can take you so high that you're never gonna wanna come down, I say

Drop the pilot, try my balloon
Drop the monkey, smell my perfume
Drop the mahout, I'm the easy rider
Don't use your army to fight a losing battle
Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need, I'm the one you need

I said animal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need, I'm the one you need
I'm the one you need

Drop the pilot, try my balloon
Drop the monkey, smell my perfume
Drop the mahout, I'm an easy rider
Don't use your army to fight a losing battle

Drop the pilot, try my balloon
Drop the monkey, smell my perfume
Drop the mahout, I'm the easy rider
Don't use your army to fight a losing battle

Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need, I'm the one you need

I say drop the pilot
Drop the monkey
Drop the mahout
Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need, I'm the one you need
I'm the one you need

Drop the pilot
Drop the pilot
Drop the pilot

"Dry Land"

"Dry Land"



Let me sail
To the depths of your soul
Let me anchor as near as I can be
To your shore
I'm coming into dry land
Been a long time at sea
And the season of loving
Has long awaited me

Tides and waves have kept me
Kept me going
I'm longing for the calm
I'm heading for the pastures
I can see on your dry land
Let the sea that once did take me
Bring me back safe to your door
For I long to touch the dry land
Of your shore

Clear back to land I'm rowing
Clear the decks
Let me touch your soul
Maybe I'll bring you back a gift of love
I'll promise you so much more

Clear back to land I'm rowing
Clear the deck
Let me touch your soul
Maybe I'll bring you back a gift of love
And I'll promise you so much more

Let me sail
To the depths of your soul
Let me anchor as near as I can be
To your shore
I'm coming into dry land
I've been a long time at sea
And the season of loving
Has long awaited me

Tides and waves have kept me
Kept me going
I'm longing for the calm
I'm heading for the pastures
I can see on your dry land
Let the sea that once did take me
Bring me back safe to your door
For I long to touch the dry land
Of your shore

Clear back to land I'm rowing
Clear the deck
Let me touch your soul
I'll bring you back a gift of love
And I'll promise you so much more

Clear back to land I'm rowing
Clear the deck
Let me touch your soul
Maybe I'll bring you back a gift
And I'll promise you so much more

Clear back to land I'm rowing
Clear the deck
Let me touch your soul
Maybe I'll bring you back a gift
And I'll promise you so much more

"Eating The Bear"

"Eating The Bear"



He had me down
But I put up a fight
I saw those teeth
And I groped for my knife
Big brown bear
With the juice from his mouth
He could taste my leg
And he thought he'd got me

But I am eating the bear

He lurked around
'Cos he knew where I lived
I'm in the jungle
and he means to eat me
He means to eat me
He's a hungry bear
He touched my arm
And he thought he'd got me

But I am eating the bear

Some days the bear will eat you
Some days you'll eat the bear

And I am eating the bear

It's not just girls
He eats who he wants
He's big and strong
Fights dirty and mean
If you spill some blood
He'll smell you for miles
You better watch out
'Cos he's right behind you

"Empty Highway"

"Empty Highway"



Watch the rain gently fall
Like the tears running down my face
Watch the rain gently fall
Like the tears running down my face

Sometimes it feel like the sky' is violence
Sometimes it feels like nobody hears
Sometimes it fells like I'm on an empty highway
And I'm on a road to nowhere
I'm on a road to nowhere

As I watch the street lights flicker
Like the dying embers of your affection
As I watch the street lights flicker
Like the dying embers of your affection

Sometimes it feels like we never kissed
I've got no interest in the push and pull of the tides
Who cares if the world stops spinning
Cos I'm a lonely number
Yeah I'm a lonely number

As I lay me down to sleep
All the little birds and the bees
That would sing to all the lovers
They just pass me by
Yeah yeah yeah

Even in my dreams
Vivid colours turn to a grey scale
Even in my dreams
Vivid colours turn to a grey scale

And I turn to you and I ask
How can I make things better
And you say
You say it's gone
It's gone, it’s gone, it's over
And I stand outside in just my underwear
And I watch the gentle rain fall
Yeah watch the gentle rain fall
Yeah I watch the gentle rain fall down

"Everybody Gotta Know"

"Everybody Gotta Know"



I've done it myself
I've done things
I never thought I would do
We all make mistakes
And I'm no exception
Sometimes
I think I've told it all
So plainly
But there's no one there
To hear the words I say
Sometimes
It all sounds so crazy
Your version of the story
That I know
Oh when your memory
Fails you

Everybody
Gotta know this feeling
Everybody gotta know
Everybody gotta know this feeling
Inside

I've been there myself
I have been some place
I never would go to
just not my style
but persuasion made me
Open my mind
Sometimes
I think I know it all so clearly
But then someone comes
And shows another way
Sometimes
I think that I am going crazy
My character changes
For one day
Oh when your habits fail you

Everybody
Gotta know this feeling
Everybody gotta know
Everybody gotta know this feeling
Inside

"Everyday Boy"

"Everyday Boy"



Well I've never met anyone
With your courage
And the way your enjoy life
Puts me to shame
Just an hour with you
And I understand
Why we had to meet

I saw you look in the mirror
And adjust your hair
Smile and leave the room

Just an everyday boy
Doing everyday things
But you're somebody special
Somebody who feels
You're not the first
And you won't be the last
But you are the one
I'll remember

It's God's revenge
You're surrounded by fear
A compassionate man
You hold people dear
No blame for the mother
Who curses your name
She fears for her son
It's death by association

But you respect yourself
And you let it show
Some fade with guilt
And the shame
They way you
Tell your story
With no tears
For yourself

Just an everyday boy
Doing everyday things
You're not the first
And you won't be the last
But you are the one
I'll remember

Hey hey
Just an everyday boy
Just an everyday boy

Doing everyday things
Just an everyday boy
Just an everyday boy
Just an everyday boy
Doing everyday things
Just an everyday boy

"Feeling In My Heart (For You)"

"Feeling In My Heart (For You)"



I have lost in love
I have lost in love
That's twice today
Now you're on my mind
What will I find
Will you be kind to me

I won't be afraid
I won't be afraid
To love this time
Gentle yet firm
Darling I'm yours
Hold me tonight

'Cos I
Got a feeling in my heart
For you
I
Got a feeling in my heart
For you

I got a feeling in my heart for you
I got a feeling in my heart that's true

Oh I
Got a feeling in my heart
For you

Never leave your side
I will never turn my back on you
This feeling's no lie
It's just you and I
Hold me tonight

'Cos I
Got a feeling in my heart
For you
I
Got a feeling in my heart
For you

"Figure Of Speech"

"Figure Of Speech"



He'll teach you to wait by the phone
And then won't call
Throw your life in a turmoil
And when you fall
Just when you need him most
He won't see you
Don't let him
Don't let him
Don't let him get you down

When your dreams get shattered
Down where nothing matters
But if he won't have you
You can bet your life
Bet your life
It's not the end
And if he can't see
What a friend you are
That's his loss
It's not the end

Don't let him
Don't let him
Don't let him get you down

Watch his lips while he speaks
And read his eyes
It's a figure of speech
So don't be surprised
When he talks of love
But his deeds can break you
Don't let him
Don't let him
Don't let him get you down

"Fire And Ice"

"Fire And Ice"



I don't wanna know everything
About you
Can't love everything everything
That you do

No baby don't wanna find anybody else
Nobody could ever find another lover
Never find another lover like you
Like oil and water we don't mix
But something keeps us tied together

We fight
Fire and ice
Black is white
Night is day
That's how we treat each other

But I don't wanna go anywhere
Without you
I could never find
Loving as tempestuous

You say hot
I say cold
But oh when the fight is over
You say yes
I say yes
And we dive underneath the covers

And I don't wanna go anywhere
Without you
I don't wanna go anywhere
Without you
I don't wanna I don't wanna go anywhere
Without you

I say left
You say right
Before the night is over
I say yes
You say yes
And we dive underneath the covers

I don't wanna go anywhere
Without you
I don't wanna go anywhere
Without you

No baby don't wanna find anybody else
Never find another lover
Not another lover ever gonna make me happy
Like you make me happy
You make me happy
You make me happy
