CHEQUERED LOVE

CHEQUERED LOVE


You say everything's alright
I say nothing can go right, yeah
Oh what a game you can play
Sad days add to confusion
Sad ways end in dillusion, yeah
That's the name of the game

CHORUS:
Well I know your love is rough
And the road you take is tough
But I just can't get enough
Chequered love

Touch me, do what you want to
Say no, then, I just need you
Babe, your gonna drive me insane
You are man for all seasons
You are man with no reasons, yeah
You're the man with no pain

CHORUS

Oh I can't let go (x 2)
'Cos I need you so tonight

You say everything's alright
I say nothing can go right, yeah
Oh what a game you can play
Sad days add to confusion
Sad ways end in dillusion, yeah
That's the name of the game

Well I know your love is rough
And the road you take is tough
But I just can't get enough
Chequered love

Oh I can't let go (x 2)
'Cos I need you so tonight

CHILD COME AWAY

CHILD COME AWAY


Child come away - it's the girl with the deputy walking by.
Just go and play
no I won't give you reasons
so don't ask why.
I read the story 'bout a week ago

They found her on the beach that night.
They said the light had gone out of her eyes
And no-one thinks she'll ever be right. She was so full of her life

Happy with the people she knew
but now no-one can tell.
Child come away - it's the girl with the deputy walking by. . ..
'cos all they found were some marks in the sand

A message saying "she is mine".
Nobody touched her as she got in the car
And nobody dares to anytime. She was so full of her life

The girl that ev'rybody once knew
but now no-one can tell.
Child come away - it's the girl with the deputy walking by. . . .
And when they read her story out to the judge
I heard he had to turn away
it's all over town.
I saw her face in the back of the car as they were speeding out of this town
She's got a mark on the side of her face that no one's ever seen around.
And what she is or what she's become I guess the town will never know.
Child come away - it's the girl with the deputy walking by. . . .

DANCING IN THE DARK

DANCING IN THE DARK


We were dancing
dancing in the dark

Sweet romancing
something's gonna start. We were dancing.
He stepped into the night with his heart open wide

I was standing there with nowhere left to hide.
He looked to me like a shadow moving in the night

Then he took a hold of my hand in the soft moonlight.
And we were dancing
dancing in the dark
. . .

I could hear his heartbeat pounding in the night

I could feel his body starting to be kind.
With his soft red lips made up my mind

His soothing kiss was all I desired.
And we were dancing
dancing in the dark.
We kissed and touched but it wasn't enough to stop this wheel of fire

One step at a time and I knew he was mine

We were lost in the heat of desire.
And we were dancing
dancing in the dark
. . .
No way
no way at all to stop us moving closer

Each look in his eyes made my heart beat in time

Over and over and over and over.

And we were dancing
dancing in the dark
. . .
And we were dancing
dancing in the dark
. . .

DON'T SAY NOTHING'S CHANGED

DON'T SAY NOTHING'S CHANGED


Don't say nothing's changed with you
I can hear it in your sighs
The way that you can't look me in the eyes
It's spelling out bad news

So don't say it's the same we two
No I can't say I'm suprised
'cos I could see it in your eyes
And no you don't have to lie
Baby you don't have to lie

Why can't it be like yesterday
The feelings gone
But I just want to say that I love you know
And I'm holding on for you
Is that a silly thing to do

So don't say nothing's changed with you
Now we're running out of time
And I've got to give up something that was mine
Oh baby doesn't it seem cruel

So don't say it's the same we two
'Cos we're already worlds apart
And now the lonliness will start
Oh boy you're breaking my heart
Baby you're breaking my heart

DREAM SEQUENCE

DREAM SEQUENCE


Shadows across the floor
Memories fading in
Voices are far away
Now it can all begin

"new york are on the 'phone
They want you here today"
"was it a fashion show ? "
"sorry they wouldn't say"

There's a world full of dreams
Lying on a pillow
There's a world no-one knows
Wrapped up in her mind
(it's all imagination)

Now she is back in school
(it's the revolution)
Staring at broken glass
(do what we want you to)
Flicking the flies away
(total autonomy)
Watching the trains go past

Fighting the indian war
Cochise is closing in
Now she can touch his face !
Riding so close to him

There's a world full of dreams
Lying on a pillow
There's a world no-one's seen
Living in her mind

Sailing across a sea
Images on a screen
Watching the boats go by
Red merging into green

Roxanne don't run away
(you've been naughty girl)
I told you not to go
(stay in the garden)
Why do you run away ?

EGO

EGO


All the time I try to reason with you
But I just can't seem to make you understand
Nothing seems to ever really get through
Can't you feel emotions like any other man

You never cared for anyone (anyone)
You never cared for anyone (at all)
Any love that you've ever given me
You only gave me for your ego

Look at how you wanted all of my tears
Any time you felt you needed security
All the nights you let me out on my own
That's the thing that you just can't give back to me

You never cared for anyone (anyone)
You never cared for anyone (at all)
Any love that you've ever given me
You only gave me for your ego

You're only plan it seems is look after number one
You just can't comprehend what it means to love someone

Stay away, get lost, get out of my life
Can't you see the changes now and at last I'm free
Any plans I have just don't include you
And that's the one thing you won't take from me

You never cared for anyone (anyone)
You never cared for anyone (at all)
Any love that you've ever given me
You only gave me for your ego

Every time I tried to reason with you
But it seemed that I never made you understand
Nothing ever seemed to ever really get through
Can't you feel emotions like any other man

You never cared for anyone (anyone)
You never cared for anyone (at all)
Any love that you've ever given me

EUROPEAN SOUL

EUROPEAN SOUL


I want to tell you of a place that I recall
Where you're drawn by the seduction
And the beauty of it all
You can step into another world
Of poetry and dreams
In a land of mystery
Images dance, translucent colours seem to shine
They're a ghostly recollection
Of another space and time
I imagine I can hear their voices calling me
To the land of mystery

Where the Russian heart is strong
Like the beating of a drum
Where the magic lingers on
And the fight for thruth is won
Deep in the European soul

And love's eternal flame was burning deep inside
It was the purest inspiration
That he never tried to hide
When you see the lovers floating
You can almost hear them sigh
As you watch them dancing
Up into the sky

The world's realities are not to be denied
But must we keep destroying all our fantasies
It's hard to look beyond when terror fills our eyes
We mustn't give up trying to let our dreams survive

I touch the paintings with the fingers of my heart
Like a supernatural love affair that's just about to start
But there'll always be the hidden dreams I'll never see

EVER FALLEN IN LOVE (WITH SOMEONE YOU SHOULDN'T 'VE)

EVER FALLEN IN LOVE (WITH SOMEONE YOU SHOULDN'T 'VE)


You stir my natural emotions
You make me feel I'm dirt
And I'm hurt
And if I start a commotion
I run the risk of losing you
And that's worse
Ever fallen in love with someone?
Ever fallen in love?
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love?
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with
I can't see much of a future
Unless we find out what's to blame
What a shame
And we won't be together much longer
Unless we realize that we are the same
Ever fallen in love with someone?
Ever fallen in love?
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love?
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with
You disturb my natural emotions
You make me feel I'm dirt
And I'm hurt
And if I start a commotion
I'll only end up losing you
And that's worse
Ever fallen in love with someone?
Ever fallen in love?
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love?
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with
Ever fallen in love with someone?
Ever fallen in love?
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love?
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with
Ever fallen in love?
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love?
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with
Fallen in love with
Ever fallen in love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with...

EVERYTHING WE KNOW

EVERYTHING WE KNOW


Don't bring your gun 'round here
Don't need you mouthing off your fear
It touches all you can build a wall
We all have tasted tears

Everything we know
Everything we know
Everything we know
Everywhere we go

We walked along the beach
Once lovers now we're out of reach
Windy skies, they kissed me goodbye
It takes experience to teach

Everything we know
Everything we know
Everything we know
Everywhere we go

Nobody laughed today
I went to watch the children play
Their smiles and mine were frozen in time
I'll just remember them that way

Everything we know
Everything we know
Everything we know
