"Great Expectations"

"Great Expectations"

Great expectations I have to find
I want to tell you what it was like
My recollection is not too clear
So much hope and so much fear.

Long conversations into the night
Not like that, oh no, not so black and white
The great temptation's to try and please you
Play with you thought and mind and tease you
If I could tell my story in a song
I'd have to make it fast, yes it's very long
Many shades of grey between the right and wrong.

Day for night, night for day

All the stories on this way,
Feel the fire burn away.

So turn the lights down low, come over here
Stay with me, don't go, you'll see my characters appear
The storyteller's magic doesn't lie
He'll make you laugh to make you cry
Real for me is real for you
What I say is almost true.

Day for night, night for day
All the stories on its way,
Feel the fire burn and play.

The story's ended now you're on your own
Let's say a little prayer, go home.

"Green Are Your Eyes"

"Green Are Your Eyes"

Green are your eyes
In the morning when you rise.
Don't you be afraid, my love,
To lie by me,
Your father will not know.

Love can be broken
Though no words are spoken.
Don't you be afraid to lie
By me my love,
Your father will not know.

Love, don't cry

I'll not try.
Don't you be afraid to lie
By me, my love,
Your father will not know.

Yes love, don't you cry,
I'll not try.
Don't you be afraid to lie
By me, my love.
Your father will be told someday
About our wedding day.

"Greensleeves"

"Greensleeves"

Alas! my love you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
When I have loved you so long,
Delighting in your company!

Greensleeves is my delight,
Greensleeves is all my joy
Greensleeves, my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleeves?

I have been ready at your hand
To grant whatever you would crave!
I have both wagered life and land
Your love and good will for to have!

Greensleeves is my delight,
Greensleeves is all my joy
Greensleeves, my heart of gold
Who but my Lady Greensleeves?

Well, I will pray to God on high
That thou my constant sea may see
And that yet once before I die
Thou will doth say to love me!

Greensleeves is my delight,
Greensleeves is all my joy
Greensleeves, my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleeves?

Who but my Lady Greensleeves?

"Guilt"

"Guilt"

I feel guilt, I feel guilt,
Though I know I've done no wrong I feel guilt.
I feel guilt, I feel guilt,
Though I know I've done no wrong I feel guilt.

I feel bad, so bad,
Though I ain't done nothing wrong I feel bad.
I feel bad, so bad,
Though I ain't done nothing wrong I feel bad.

I never lied to my lover,
But if I did I would admit it.
If I could get away with murder
I'd take my gun and I'd commit it.
I never gave to the rich, I never stole from the poor,
I'm like a curious child, give me more,
More, more, more, more, more, more.

I feel blood, I feel blood,
Though I feel it in my veins, it's not enough.

I feel blood, I feel blood,
Though it's streaming through my veins it's not enough.

I never stole a scarf from harrods,
But if I did you wouldn't miss it.
I never stole a doll from lovecraft,
But if I did you know I'd kiss it.
I never stole from the rich, I never gave to the poor,
I'm like a curious child, just give me more,
More, more, more, more, more, more, more, more.

I feel guilt, I feel guilt,
Though I know I've done no wrong I feel guilt.
I feel guilt, I feel guilt,
Though I ain't done nothing wrong I feel guilt.

Guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt
Guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt...

"Hang On To A Dream"

"Hang On To A Dream"

What can I say?
He's a-walking away
From what we've seen.

What can I do
Still loving you?
It's all a dream.

How can we hang on to a dream,
How can it really be the way it seems?

What can I do?
He's a-saying we're through
Without a word.

What can I try?
I still don't see why
He says what he does.

How can we hang on to a dream,

How can it really be the way it seems?

What can I say?
He's a-walking away
From what we've seen.

What can I do
Still loving you?
It's all a dream.

How can we hang on to a dream,
How can it really be the way it seems?

How can we hang on to a dream,
How can it really be the way it seems?

"He'll Come Back To Me"

"He'll Come Back To Me"

Do you hear
What I hear,
Or can I have been deceived?
Voices singing,
Bells are ringing,
They say
He'll come back to me.

Though he's gone,
In my sleep
As if he were here with me,
He'll be back now,
I can tell now,
You'll see,
He'll come back to me.

Once more, once more,
Tell me that he's still sure.
I know, I know
That he loves me much more
And I'll be here waiting
Until he comes back to me.

There's one thing
You should know:
Just how much I love him so.
Though he hurt me,

He won't desert me,
And now
He'll come back to me.

Once more, once more,
Tell me that he's still sure.
I know, I know
That he loves me much more
And I'll be here waiting
Until he comes back to me.

There's one thing
You should know:
Just how much I love him so.
Though he hurt me,
He won't desert me,
And now
He'll come back to me.

So you see,
Patiently
I'll be waiting here for his call.
Voices singing,
Church bells ringing
To say
He's come back to me.

"Hello Stranger"

"Hello Stranger"

Hello stranger, hello stranger.
Who is that person in the mirror? it's not me.
Whatever happened to the one that I used to be?
Is she just another fading memory?

Hello stranger, hello stranger.
Hello stranger, hello stranger.

Every night you're always in my bed.
Every day you stay inside my head.

Oh, how I wish that I was there instead
Of some sad stranger,
Some sad stranger,
Hello stranger.

"Hold On, Hold On"

"Hold On, Hold On"

The most tender place
In my heart is for strangers
I know it's unkind
But my own blood is much too dangerous
Hangin' round the ceiling half the time
Hangin' round the ceiling half the time

Compared to some I've been around
But I really tried so hard
That echo chorus lied to me with its
"Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on"

In the end I was the mean girl
Or somebody's in-between girl
Now it's the devil I love
And that's as funny as real love

I leave the party at three a.m.
Alone, thank God
With a valium from the bride
It's the devil I love
And that's as funny as real love
And that's as real as true love

That echo chorus lied to me with its
"Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on"

That echo chorus lied to me with its
"Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on"

"Horses And High Heels"

"Horses And High Heels"

When I lived in the city of Dublin
It suited my face and my tears
The talk, the drink and the friends were good
And stood for my hopes and my fears

I lived in a flat in Ballsbridge
And at two in the morning I'd hear
The sound as the horses came back from their work
And the horses clip-clop coming near

Horses and high heels, horses and high heels
What every city knows and fears

Late at night in Paris
In my apartment that 's up from the street
I hear a girl in high heels who must run in
To meet a lover extremely discreet

Horses and high heels, horses and high heels
What every city knows and fears

In Dublin and Paris women are running
Ghostly horses return from the park
Have to meet a man of their dreams
And stables so warm and dark

Horses and high heels, horses and high heels
What every city knows and fears

"How Many Worlds"

"How Many Worlds"

Thinking of a world and the light of the sun
And all the many lives that were ever begun,
Ever begun.

Our little world turning in the blue
As each day goes there's another one new,
Another one new.

How many people will we feed today,
How many lips will we kiss today,
If we wake up?

How many worlds will we ever see,
And how people can we ever be,
If we wake up?

Thinking of a world in the light of the sun
And all the many lives that were ever begun,
Ever begun.
