"Holding On To Yesterday"

"Holding On To Yesterday"
(originally by Ambrosia)



Well, I keep holding on to yesterday
I keep holding on enough to say that I'm wrong
I keep thinking that I'm lonely
But it's only missing you inside
Days when we were once together
Seems we'd never come alive
So I keep holding on to yesterday
I keep holding on enough to say that it's wrong
Lord I don't know when I'll see you
I can't reach you anymore
Well if I'd only known I'd need you
Then I'd keep you like before

Ooo ooo ooh
Ahh ahh ahh

Well I keep holding on to yesterday (yesterday)
I keep holding on enough to say
That I'm wrong wrong wrong to keep holding on
My yesterdays have all gone by...

"Hole In My Heart"

"Hole In My Heart"



Where are you running my love
Through the back streets of the city
You're keeping an eye on the horizon
Looking over your shoulder
Must be some demon driving you
I must have looked like a prime one
Running after you like we still could survive
But nobody I've ever loved ever hurt me like you did
With that lack of feelin'

I've got a Hole In My Heart
You know that I've got a Hole In My Heart
But I won't beg, oh baby
I won't beg anymore

You're nothing but a taker
A real heartbreaker
Who ever hurt you so long ago baby,

Must have been a master
But you're learning fast

I've got a Hole In My Heart
You know that I've got a Hole In My Heart
But I won't beg, oh baby
I won't beg anymore

Nobody I've ever loved ever hurt me like you did
With that lack of feelin'

I've got a Hole In My Heart
You know that I've got a Hole In My Heart
But I won't beg, oh baby
I won't beg anymore

I've got a Hole In My Heart
I've got a Hole In My Heart
I've got a Hole In My Heart

"Honeymoon In Beirut"

"Honeymoon In Beirut"



I wake up every night (to the sound)
To the sound of breaking glass
Got troops in the bed
And tanks in the hall
I kidnapped and held for ransom (the one in me)
The one in me that you loved
We wait for the fall
And put emotional bullet holes in the wall
And we both, keep sending signals all is well
"Wish you were here"

Honeymoon In Beirut
Although I keep on sending postcards
From heaven (tell me)
Why do I stay (I don't know)
Honeymoon In Beirut
And we still keep pretending
Sixes are sevens (tell me)
Why can't we say
There is no honeymoon
This is no honeymoon, no
This is no honeymoon
There is no honeymoon, no

Honeymoon in Beirut
There are no peace talks pending
No quarter given (there's just)
Blood on the bed, where there used to be love

Strategy and maneuvers (have replaced)
Any love that was here
We have dinner in silence
And bullets with beer
I don't know what you want (my defeat)
Or complete surrender
Or peace in our time
While in bed we draw the battle line
And we sit, out in the rain
Writing cards to friends back home
The weather is fine

Honeymoon In Beirut
Although I keep on sending postcards
From heaven (tell me)
Why do I stay (I don't know)
Honeymoon In Beirut
And we still keep pretending
Sixes are sevens (tell me)
Why can't we say
There is no honeymoon
This is no honeymoon, no
This is no honeymoon
There is no honeymoon, no

And we stand out in the rain
Smiling as we sink like a stone
And hope for the end (whatever it is)

Honeymoon In Beirut
Although I keep on sending postcards
From heaven (tell me)
Why do I stay (I don't know)
Honeymoon In Beirut
And we still keep pretending
Sixes are sevens (tell me)
Why can't we say
There is no honeymoon
This is no honeymoon, no
This is no honeymoon
There is no honeymoon, no

"Hooky Jo"

"Hooky Jo"



Hooky high hooky Jo
I need you so
Hooky bye hooky go
Where I don't know
Looky high looky low
Where can you be
Hooky high hooky Jo
I need your company

And my sergeant said
The war is over son
It doesn't really matter
That the north has won.

So I packed my bags
And I gave back my gun
I turned and headed home
With the fighting done

Hooky high hooky Jo
I need you so
Hooky by hooky go
Where I don't know
Looky high looky low
Where can you be
Hooky high hooky Jo
I need your company

Hooky Jo and me
We planned to make a start
But the war came between us
And we fell apart

Now this old gray coat is getting mighty thin
But I'll keep on looking for her
Till we meet again

Hooky high hooky Jo
I need you so
Hooky by hooky go
Where I don't know
Looky high looky low
Where can you be
Hooky high hooky Jo
I need your company

"How Do You Talk To Girls"

"How Do You Talk To Girls"



Well I'm sick of hanging out on the street
Every Saturday night with the boys
Listening to the radio's big beat
We crank it just to hear the noise

Yeah we talk about the girls, girls, girls
And we talk, talk, talk all night
Sure we're all Romeos and Casanovas
But we can't seem to get it right

Seems I'm making it harder and harder
While everybody else is doing well
I get confused by their bodies
I get tangled in their curls
How Do You Talk To Girls
How Do You Talk To Girls
What's a poor boy to do
Tell me How Do You Talk To Girls?
How Do You Talk To Girls?

I see this girl over there right away
I'm trying to think of something to say
Well I think I'll have one more drink
I'll be ready to make my play
But this guy moves in and he talks to her
And she nods her head
Well I'm used to missing out on the girl
But I want to know what he said

Seems I'm making it harder and harder
While everybody else is doing well
I get confused by their bodies
I get tangled in their curls
How Do You Talk To Girls?
How Do You Talk To Girls?
What's a poor boy to do
I'm tangled up in their curls

How Do You Talk To Girls?
How Do You Talk To Girls?
Out of wisdom and out of pearls
Tell me How Do You Talk To Girls

Am I stupid or misunderstood
I'd say something clever if I only could
We're only ten feet apart
But it feels like the world

How Do You Talk To Girls?
How Do You Talk To Girls?
Out of wisdom and out of pearls
Tell me How Do You Talk To Girls

"Human"
(originally by The Human League)

"Human"
(originally by The Human League)



Come on, baby, dry your eyes
Wipe your tears
Never like to see you cry
Won't you please forgive me ?

I wouldn't ever try to hurt you
I just needed someone to hold me
To fill the void while you were gone
To fill this space of emptiness

I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
Human
Born to make mistakes

So many nights I longed to hold you
So many times I looked and saw your face
Nothing could change the way I feel
No-one else could ever take your place

I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
Human
Born to make mistakes

I am just a man

Please forgive me

The tears I cry aren't tears of pain
They're only to hide my guilt and shame
I forgive you now I ask the same of you
While we were apart I was human too

I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
I am just a man
Human
Born to make mistakes

"Human Touch"

"Human Touch"


Everybody's talking to computers,
they're all dancing to a drum machine
I know I'm living on the outside
Scared of getting caught between
I'm so cool calculated alone in a modern world-uh huh

But Sally has a hard time holding back
The alley to her heart is a beaten track
She's got the love monkey riding on her back

You want love I got it, come on girl

[CHORUS:]
We all need the human touch
We all need the human touch
I need it the human touch
We all need the human touch
We all need it, and I need it too

You know, I got my walls, Sally calls them prison cells
Sometimes I need protection, I've got the chains
I got the warning bells
I sit so snug and isolated, alone in the modern world-uh huh

But Sally has a hard time holding back
The alley to her heat is a beaten track
She's never out of love, yeah she's got the knack
You've got love I want it, come on girl

[CHORUS]

Human touch
Human touch
Human touch
Human touch

I'm so scared and isolated in the modern world

We all need
We all need the human touch
We all need the human touch
We all need the human touch
I need it the human touch
We all need the human touch
I need it the human touch
We all need it and I need it too

Human touch
Human touch
Human touch
Human touch
Human touch

"I Can't Stop Hurting You"

"I Can't Stop Hurting You"



She looked at me with eyes that cut right through me and said
"You must be blind
let me tell you a little something about yourself
You're the hurtin' kind"
I must admit after the pain and fight
I've a sneaking suspicion that you might be right

I love you, I love you, I love you
But I Can't Stop Hurting You
I want to, I want to
I Can't Stop Hurting You
I can't, I can't
I Can't Stop Hurting You, it's getting bad
I don't know what to do

I see you packing up all your precious little things
That mean so much to you
I hurt you now you're moving out again
But we know just what you'll do
We'll see the error of our ways in crime
With conciliatory promises we'll change this time

I love you, I love you, I love you
But I Can't Stop Hurting You
I want to, I want to
I Can't Stop Hurting You
I can't, I can't
I Can't Stop Hurting You, it's getting bad
I don't know what to do

I love you, I love you
I Can't Stop Hurting You
I need to, I need to
I Can't Stop Hurting You
I can't, I can't
I Can't Stop Hurting You
It's getting bad, I don't know what to do

And when you go I miss you all night
The wounds heal from the scratch and bite
I don't know what's wrong
I don't know what's right
But I Can't Stop Hurting You
I Can't Stop Hurting You

We talk so coolly about the pros and cons
When I get hot headed I just can't hold on

I love you, I love you, I love you
I can't stop hurting you
I need to, I need to
I can't stop hurting you
I can't, I can't
I can't stop hurting you
It's getting bad, I don't know what to do

"I Didn't Mean To Love You"

"I Didn't Mean To Love You"



Hey look what you've done
Ain't cha ever going to help me
Cause now your love's the only one
I tried so hard to break it
Now that I'm loving you

1200 miles is a long long way
And my loves gonna grow
Every inch of the way
But I didn't mean to love you

I only meant to see
How far you'd go
And I didn't mean to love you
I tried to leave ya
And my heart said no
Oh no
Hey what can I say

You know I didn't mean to fall for you
Show me, show me, show me

What can I do
I don't even know
If you're love is true
But I know this

No matter how much I want to try
I'll never stop loving you
I need you
Though you're just 17
And my loves gonna grow every night every day

But I didn't mean to love you
I only meant to see
How far you'd go
And I didn't mean to love you
I tried to leave ya
And my heart said no
Oh no

"I Found You"

"I Found You"



Everything is old
While everything is turning new
It still remains the same
Just in different ways

And that’s when I found you
Somewhere between pain and fear
You got me on my feet
Just in time for me

And then you walked
Into my thunderstorm
And stopped the rain from falling
And then you made
Flowers from hurricanes
You got me through
That’s when I found you
That’s how I found you

I’m so glad you called
Cause I’m too blind to read the wall
I’ll always wonder why
You taught me to fly

And then you walked
Into my thunderstorm
And stopped the rain from falling
And then you made
Flowers from hurricanes
You got me through
That’s when I found you
That’s how I found you

And then you walked
Into my thunderstorm
And stopped the rain from falling
And then you made
Flowers from hurricanes
You got me through
(That’s when I found you)

And then you played
Music in silent ways
And filled my years with laughter
(That’s when I found you)
And then you came
Into a young man’s life
And got me through

That’s when I found you
That’s how I found you
