"Sorry"

"Sorry"



Just look at me know
Because I'm tired of yelling
Look at me now
It's only me I'm selling
I'm not willing to trade
My life to make the sale
You turn me around
You put me down
Look at me now

I'm hanging out my heart to dry
For the last time
I'll tell you the reason why
It's for the last time

Laid back uptown turnaround people - lie
Laid back uptown turnaround people - wear disguises
Sorry a word they only use too late
Sorry is a word that only ever means forgive my yesterdays
Laid back uptown turnaround people - lie
Laid back uptown turnaround people - wear disguises
And sorry that's a word they can only use too late
Sorry is a word that only ever means forgive my yesterdays
(Sorry)

Here I am loving you
You lay you lay so quietly
I can feel your breath upon my skin
Afterglow came suddenly
With you it always did

I'm hanging out my heart to dry
For the last time
I'll tell you the reason why
It's for the last time
Laid back uptown turnaround people - lie
Laid back uptown turnaround people - wear disguises

They say sorry that's a word
They only use too late
Sorry is a word that only ever means
Forgive my yesterdays

(Uptown people lie)
Laid back uptown turnaround people - wear disguises
They say sorry
That's a word they only use too late
Sorry is a word that only ever means forgive

"Steppin' In A Slide Zone"

"Steppin' In A Slide Zone"



I took a ride in a limousine
I took a road I'd never been
I met a stranger by the way
His coat was torn but his eyes were clear

Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' in a slide zone

He told me where a river flows
He showed me how the apple grows
He told me of a magic stream
His face was worn but his eyes were clear

Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' in a slide zone
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' through a time zone

He went to find a shooting star
Around the bend that's where they are
I went along just for the ride
Suddenly I began to glide

Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' through a time zone

The air raced by there was no sound
We drifted high above the ground
And then said you know this place
And then a smile lit up his face

Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' in a slide zone
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' through a time zone

I turned my head and looked below
And there was something there I know
Suddenly I began to fall
I looked around and tried to call

Standing in a slide zone
He had me steppin' in a time zone
Standing in a slide zone
Falling through a time zone

Help me please I thought I said
Then something happened in my head
Music came from all around
And I knew what I had found

Standing in a slide zone
Falling through a time zone
Steppin' in a slide zone
He had me falling through a time zone

"Stop"

"Stop"


So you talked to my girl
When I don't want you to,
Want you to.
Just the thought of you holding her
When I don't want you to,
Want you to
Won't do.
No, no, no,
It won't do, no.
Stop! Stop!
You're trying to break it up between us.
Stop! Stop!
Don't want a broken heart between us.

Oh please, forget about it.
Make your mind up
What you're going to do about us.

So you talk better than me
And you know, you know it, know you know it
And if you want to get her from me
And you know you know it, know you know it,
Won't do, no,
I'm telling you it won't do, no.

Stop! Stop!
You're trying to break it up between us.
Stop! Stop!
Don't want a broken heart between us.

Oh please, forget about it.
Make your mind up
What you're going to do about us.

Stop! Stop!
You're trying to break it up between us.
Stop! Stop!
Don't want a broken heart between us.

Oh please, forget about it.
Make your mind up
What you're going to do about us.

[repeat these lines through fadeout:]
Stop! Stop!
You're trying to break it up between us.
Stop! Stop!
Don't want a broken heart between us.

"Story In Your Eyes"

"Story In Your Eyes"



I've been thinking about our fortune,
And I've decided that we're really not to blame.
For the love that's deep inside us now, is still the same.
And the sound we make together,
Is the music to the story in your eyes.
It's been shining down upon you now, I realize.

Listen to the tide slowly turning,
Wash all our heartaches away.
We are part of the fire that is burning,
And from the ashes we can build another day.
But I'm frightened for your children,
And the life that we are living is in vein.
And the sunshine we've been waiting for,
Will turn to rain.

When the final line is over,
And it's certain that the curtain's gonna fall,
I can hide inside your sweet sweet love,
Forever more.

Listen to the tide slowly turning,
Wash all our heartaches away.
We are part of the fire that is burning,
And from the ashes we can build another day.
But I'm frightened for your children,
And the life that we are living is in vein.
And the sunshine we've been waiting for,
Will turn to rain.

"Strange Times"

"Strange Times"


Long time ago, back in the mist of time
Back when the crystal waters flowed
There was a world
So strange and so beautiful
All life would flourish and would grow

Years went by, time just fell away
Love was worshiped like the sun
But as we arrive at the house of the water sign
We're living in strange times

Strange times
Strange times

What do we need
What do we hunger for
Who holds the secrets, who will know

Temples of greed
In ruins on the river bed
Wastelands that lived before the snow

Time stands still
As we race through the universe
On our way to the sun
And as we arrive at the house of the water sign
We're living in strange times

Strange times,
Strange times

It's you and I forever
We won't be afraid
Even if the stars are falling down, down, down, down, down

Falling down

Time stands still as we race through the universe
On our way to the sun
And as we arrive at the house of the water sign
We're living in strange times

Strange times,
Strange times
[repeat]

"Sun Is Still Shining"

"Sun Is Still Shining"



The sun is still shining, look at the view
The moon is still dining, with me and you
Now that we're out here, open your heart
To the universe, of which we're apart

Everything's turning, turning around
See with you mind, leave your body behind
Now that we're out here, open your heart
To the universe, of which we're apart

But if you want to play
Stay right back on earth
Waiting for rebirth

The sun is still shining, look at the view
The moon is still dining, with me and you
Now that we're out here, open your heart
To the universe, of which we're apart

But if you want to play
Stay right back on earth
Waiting for rebirth

"Sunset"

"Sunset"



When the sun goes down,
And the clouds all frown,
Night has begun for the sunset.
See it with your eyes,
Earth re-energized
By the sun's rays every day.
Take a look out there,
Planets everywhere.
When the sun goes down
And the clouds all frown,
Night has begun for the sunset.
Shadows on the ground
Never make a sound,
Fading away in the sunset.
Night has now become
Day for everyone.

I can see it all
From this great height.
I can feel the sun
Slipping out of sight
And the world still goes on
Through the night.

"Survival"

"Survival"



Shadows of night falling over my head
People walking
Passing me by
Shadows of dreams falling out of the blue
People talking
What can I do
Where do I go from here
Where do I go from here
I could give you any dream and watch it grow
I could take you for a ride but you would know
I could tell you every answer that I know
It wouldn't be much tho'
It wouldn't be anything you didn't know

But
Survival
Nothing more than survival

Shadows of days hanging endless in time
Slowly fading
Passing us by
Shadows of worlds disappearing from view
People asking
What could we do?
Where do I go from here
Where do I go from here

If I gave you every dream they would grow
If I took you for a ride would you know
If I told you every answer that I know
It wouldn't be much tho'
It wouldn't be anything you didn't know

But survival
In you love, I have all that
I need for
survival
With your love I have all that
I need for
Survival
With our love we have all that
We need for
Survival

"Talkin' Talkin'"

"Talkin' Talkin'"



Talking, talking
It doesn't really matter
If you know my name
It doesn't really matter
If you see things the same
As I do
It doesn't even matter
If I'm tied and tense
It doesn't even matter
If I'm still making sense
Over you
I'm just talking, talking
Talkin, talking
Cos I'm only talking, talking
Talking, talking

It doesn't matter
What the people
All around you say
Be careful how
You listen
They don't know you
The way that I do
And if you wanna
Talk about it baby
That's alright
It's better if I say it
Than to sit down
And write it to you
I'm just talking, talking
Talkin, talking
Cos I'm only talking, talking

It can be that
You're here with me
When I'm standing out
On my own
The words of love
That you gage
When we were alone
It doesn't matter
If you want to
Rock and roll all night
I know you're gonna
Be there when the
Feeling is right
The feeling is right
The feeling is right
I'm just talking, talking
Talkin, talking
I'm just talking, talking
Talkin, talking
You know I'm just
Talking, talking, talking, talking

"Talking Out Of Turn"

"Talking Out Of Turn"



When I took a little loving from you
Oh I, never thought about the hurting inside
But I took a little more than I should
Oh why, can't explain that I would ever
Let you slip through my fingers
Let you escape like yesterday
I would appreciate you knowing
I thought your love had come to stay

Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn
Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn

But I took a little more of you each day
When I didn't see that I was breaking you apart
With angry words of love I didn't mean
Oh why, can't believe that I would ever
Talk myself out of tomorrow
Talked like a fool to yesterday
And as the evening loses colour
Your love began to fade away

Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn
Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn

Talking out of turn
Talking out of turn

If I upset you
I didn't mean to hurt you
I didn't mean to make you cry
I don't need an alibi
To start me talking out of turn

When I took a little loving from you
Oh I, can't believe that I would ever
Let you slip through my fingers
Let you escape like yesterday
I would appreciate you knowing
I thought your love had come to stay

Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn
Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn
