"Don't Talk To Strangers"

"Don't Talk To Strangers"



When you were just a young girl and still in school
How come you never learned the golden rule?
Don't talk to strange men, don't be a fool
I'm hearing stories; I don't think that's cool

Why dont'cha tell me someone isn't lovin' you?
'Cause you're my girl, some say it's no longer true
You're seeing some slick continental dude
I'm beggin' you, please

(Don't talk to strangers)
Baby, dont'cha talk
(Don't talk to strangers)
You know he'll only use you up
(Don't talk, don't talk)
Don't talk
(Don't talk, don't talk to him)
Nobody, nobody ever told you

Now tell me, how's life in the big city?
I hear the competition's tough; baby, that's a pity
And every man's an actor; every girl is pretty
I don't like what's gettin' back to me

Now, who's this Don Juan I've been hearing of?
Love hurts when only one's in love
Now, did ya fall at first sight or did you need a shove?
I'm beggin' you, please

(Don't talk to strangers)
Baby, dont'cha talk
(Don't talk to strangers)
You know he'll only use you up
(Don't talk, don't talk)
Don't talk
(Don't talk, don't talk to him)
Nobody, nobody ever told you

(Fais l'amour avec moi)
What's he sayin', baby?
(Viens dormir, mon amour)
I asked you not to talk to him
(Je t'aime donne moi ton cœur se soir)
I'm begging you

(Don't talk to strangers)
Baby, dont'cha talk
(Don't talk to strangers)
You know he'll only use you up
(Don't talk, don't talk)
Don't talk
(Don't talk, don't talk to him)
Nobody, nobody ever told you

(Don't talk to strangers)
Baby, dont'cha talk
(Don't talk to strangers)
You know he'll only use you up
(Don't talk to strangers)
Baby, dont'cha
(Don't talk to strangers)
Baby, dont'cha talk
(Don't talk to strangers...)

"Don't Walk Away"

"Don't Walk Away"


I know what you're doing
You don't want to put the hurt on someone
You've been trying to convince yourself
You're better off if you just turn and run

But I'm gonna hold on tight
I've got a feeling
You'll only happen once to me
And no one, not even you
Is ever gonna make you wrong for me

Don't Walk Away
Or are you looking for a price to pay
Is that your master plan
Don't Walk Away
I'll do everything to make you stay
I've got to make a stand
Don't Walk Away
I'm not afraid
Don't Walk Away

I don't know where you're going
But I know what you've got on your mind
And I think your fear is showing
You don't leave things like fear behind

And I hate to be the one
To break it to you that
We're only human after all
I can mend a broken wing
I'll give you everything I have

Don't Walk Away
Or are you looking for a price to pay
Is that your master plan
Don't Walk Away
I'll do everything to make you stay
I've got to make a stand
Don't Walk Away
I'm not afraid
Don't Walk Away

You used to be the one
Who used to be so strong
What happened to your rationale

Your heart is on the line
It happens all the time

Don't Walk Away
Don't Walk Away

Don't Walk Away
Or are you looking for a price to pay
Is that your master plan
Don't Walk Away
I'll do everything to make you stay
I've got to make a stand
Don't Walk Away
I'm not afraid
Don't Walk Away

"Dream In Colour"

"Dream In Colour"


You wake up to tell me
(That you're numb inside, that the feelings all have died)
You're praying and you're saying
(That you do believe, but I don't believe that's true)
Everything has always been there, nothing goes away that won't come back
You're living in a house of cards, and you're blowing down the stack

[Chorus:]
She sleeps under a rainbow, she won't dream in colour
(She don't dream in colour)
She thinks that her soul is painted grey or black and white
Sleeping under a rainbow she could dream in colour, dream in colour
(She don't dream in colour) tonight

Glass mirror, look in (I know it's hard to see, when the one you free is you)
Sleep walking, high talking
(But the colours aren't real and the things you feel don't last)
You sit there looking at the sunrise, not knowing if the day has come or gone
You're wondering why it turns you off, when it never turns you on

[Chorus]

Picking at the lock on the front door, pulling at the shutters on the windows
But you're living in a house of shadows

[Solo]

Even tho' you're lonely you think it's you, sitting at that table set for one
You're waiting for the guest that never comes

[Chorus]

She could dream in colour, she could
(Sleeping under a rainbow, dream in colour)
[repeats out]

"Eden"

"Eden"


Monday morning in the garden of Eden
Looked over and I saw your face
Never felt what you made me feel
Never felt so out so place
The sinner sleeps with the angel
I heard you breathe my name
Stumbling through the gates of freedom

[CHORUS:]
In Eden (I'm at the gate)
I can be saved
In Eden (I'm at the gate)
It's the start of a new day
Yeah baby
I can be healed
In Eden (I'm at the gate)
It's the start of a new day

I was being nobody going nowhere
Thru the kingdom of the blind and lame
Wouldn't give myself away, cos I
Never thought I'd touch your flame
You opened up my book of love
(I know it's true)
What was I so scared of
(I'm running)
For the gates of freedom

[CHORUS:]
In Eden (I'm at the gate)
I can be saved
In Eden (I'm at the gate)
It's the start of a new day
Yeah baby
I can be healed
In Eden (I'm at the gate)
It's the start of a new day

I've wanted so much in my life
Desired everyone I knew
I would not take it kicking and screaming
The only one I want is you

Never thought I'd hear me say
(I know its true)
Maybe love will save the day
I'm a prisoner at the gates of freedom

[CHORUS:]
In Eden (I'm at the gate)
I can be saved
In Eden (I'm at the gate)
It's the start of a new day
Yeah baby
I can be healed
In Eden (I'm at the gate)
It's the start of a new day

The only one I want is you

"Everybody's Cheating"

"Everybody's Cheating"



Keeping us together and holding us apart
Is a love that we talk about
I'm finding it harder every day to take it as it comes
But as one fool once explained to me you can't choose who you love

Everybody's Cheating on the one they love
Everybody's looking for the summer sun
No I believe I'll love you 'til my life is done
I'll live your lies and alibis
The telltale stories in your eyes
Cause you are, you are the one I love

Yes I love you, like you love me
I need you like a lover
No you need me and I need you
We're still cheating on each other

Everybody's Cheating on the one they love
Everybody's looking for the summer sun
No I believe I'll love you 'til my life is done
I'll live your lies and alibis
The telltale stories in your eyes
Cause you are, you are the one I love

What is the question
What is the answer
What is the reason why
People like you and people like me
Live our lives with lies

Everybody's Cheating on the one they love
Everybody's looking for the summer sun
No I believe I'll love you 'til my life is done
I'll live your lies and alibis
The telltale stories in your eyes
Cause you are, you are the one I love

"Everybody's Girl"

"Everybody's Girl"



Well, who'd have believed this seasoned connoisseur lady-killer like me
Would get hurt by a girl like you
And they got names for dirty little girls like you, honey
It ain't nice no, but they call you Everybody's Girl

And they say, "Here she comes, here she comes, here she comes"
And they say, " Here she comes, here she comes, here she comes"
There goes Everybody's Girl
Everybody's Girl, Everybody's Girl, Everybody's Girl "

You might say I was blind for a while
I fell asleep at the driving wheel
You sure woke me up in a hurry, honey
And I can't blame anyone but me I know
It's my fault for falling for Everybody's Girl

And they say, "He's the one, he's the one, he's the one"
And they say, "He's the one, he's the one, he's the one"

He got screwed by Everybody's Girl
Everybody's Girl, Everybody's Girl, Everybody's Girl

You got no apparent sensitivity
You're cut deep with self-destructivity
Your mind's made up, you're heading for the day
When you'll shake and your heart breaks
It's gonna come… Oh…Oh…

Everybody's Girl, Everybody's Girl
Everybody's Girl, Everybody's Girl
Everybody's Girl , you know the time's gonna come
Everybody's Girl, you can't keep doing this forever
Everybody's Girl, you're not gonna get another chance
Everybody's Girl, you're gonna get it!

"For No One"
(originally by The Beatles)

"For No One"
(originally by The Beatles)



Your day breaks, your mind aches
You find that all the words of kindness linger on
When she no longer needs you

She wakes up, she makes up
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

You want her, you need her
And yet you don't believe her when she said her love is dead
You think she needs you

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

You stay home, she goes out
She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone
She doesn't need him

Your day breaks, your mind aches
There will be time when all the things she said will fill your head
You won't forget her

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

"Free"

"Free"


So this is the cage that I built, why I built it I don't know
It's bars made of anger and guilt, no lock,
but somehow it just wouldn't let me go.
All hail the messenger of love.
I got your message loud and clear.
Now I'm hungry to be healed
and you can't, you can't keep me away

(I'm free) When we are one, I am complete
(I'm free) And I'm undone and I will be healed in your eyes.

I had to close a door in my life for another one to open
so I could go through, though I had no guiding light,
and no signs somehow it still lead me to you.
I learned a lesson here in love and it's ringing loud and clear
Now I'm ready to be reveal all the things
that before I could never say

When we are one, I am complete,
I'm undone, and I will be healed at last.

"Free And Easy"

"Free And Easy"



Afloat on the ocean, adrift in the sea
No one around us, there's just you and me
Alone on an island, asleep on the shore
Miles from everyone, I need nothing more.

And I'm feeling free and easy
And I'm feeling free and easy.
And I'm feeling free and easy
Just knowing that you're there.

We wake in the morning, we walk by the shore
Miles from everyone, I need nothing more
We float on the ocean, we drift in the sea
The water surrounds us, so easy and free.

And I'm feeling free and easy
And I'm feeling free and easy
And I'm feeling free and easy
Just knowing that you're there.

We float on the ocean, we drift in the sea
The water surrounds us, so easy and free.

And I'm feeling free and easy
And I'm feeling free and easy
And I'm feeling free and easy
Just knowing that you're there.

And I'm feeling free and easy
And I'm feeling free and easy
And I'm feeling free and easy
Just knowing that you're there.

"Gabriel"

"Gabriel"



At the edge of understanding is where it all begins
When I reach the end of reason is where it all sinks in

In the midst of all the raging storms the deluge covers me
I will find a place prepared for me so dry beneath a tree

Oh Gabriel I can hear you whispering
Oh Gabriel In my silent suffering
Oh Gabriel could you come to my defense?
Oh Gabriel how I wish that you would fly by my side

With no foregone conclusion I’m sane but paranoid
Is it all ordered confusion to find faith in the void

In the harshest winds you took me in and set me on my feet
Through the burning sand you held my hand and saved me from the heat

Oh Gabriel I can hear you whispering
Oh Gabriel in my silent suffering
Oh Gabriel could you come to my defense?
Oh Gabriel how I wish that you would fly by my side

Gabriel

Oh Gabriel I can hear you whispering
Oh Gabriel in my silent suffering
Oh Gabriel could you come to my defense?
Oh Gabriel I believe in providence

Oh Gabriel I can hear you whispering
Oh Gabriel how I wish that you would fly by my side

By my side..
