"Close To The Edge"

"Close To The Edge"



Close to the edge
Close to the edge

Promise me no lies
Promise me

Passions surging
Life emerging
Pressure ceases
Missing pieces

Break through
Break free
I'm telling you
Quit pushing me

Close to the edge ...

Love is waiting
Incubating

"Come Over"

"Come Over"



Ah you pull and push me
You never try to rush me
You make it easy to give it up
You make it hard to get enough
You make my heart beat strongly
You make the mood come on me
I ache for you when you're not here
I can't bear in when you get so near
You make me nervous - what can I do?
I guess I'll have to settle up with you
Let's settle up on two
You want something but you don't know what
Better make the most of what you've got
Don't go promising that you'll be true
I got used to hearing truth from you
Come over
Rock me in my chair,
Come over
Oooh, move me everywhere
Oh you run my motor
You make me think it over
We've got the rug from under us
Let's stay off it till we had enough
You tease my monkey
You make my knees feel funky
I ache for you when you're not here
I can't bear it when you get too near
You want something but you don't know what
Better make the most of what you've got
Don't go promising that you'll be true
I got used to hearing truth from you
Come over
Rock me in my chair,
Ooh would you do it now?
Come over
Oooh, move me everywhere
Oooh come over
You pull and push me
You never try to rush me
Come over
You make it easy yo give it up

"Dance For Me"

"Dance For Me"


Whoa, dance for me
Dance for me, dance for me
Whoa, dance for me

My heart is approving
What your body can express
You say more when you're moving
Than your words or style of dress
Hey, I don't know your language
But I hear every word

Whoa, dance for me
See what ... ?

Till you fall, till you fall for
Till you fall for me [repeat]

Girl, I'm at your mercy
When you turn with so much grace
Dance for me, Salome
Weave me into your embrace
Hey, you can steal a dancefloor
Just like you steal into my dreams
Oh, dance for me
Show me what you mean
Oh wee, dance for me
I want you to show why
You want me to know

Hey, you hold me spellbound
Like a serpent in a trance
Dance for me, dance for me, baby
Show me how you dance
Hey, I don't know your language
But I know what you mean
Oh, dance for me, dance the unforseen
I see you out there on the floor
Dancing for me

Till you want, till you want
Till you want me
Till you fall, till you fall for
Till you fall for me

"Dance For Me 99"

"Dance For Me 99"


Whoa, dance for me
Dance for me, dance for me
Whoa, dance for me

My heart is approving
What your body can express
You say more when you're moving
Than your words or style of dress
Hey, I don't know your language
But I hear every word

Whoa, dance for me
See what ... (?)

Till you fall, till you fall for
Till you fall for me [repeat]

Girl, I'm at your mercy
When you turn with so much grace
Dance for me, Salome
Weave me into your embrace
Hey, you can steal a dancefloor
Just like you steal into my dreams
Oh, dance for me
Show me what you mean
Oh wee, dance for me
I want you to show why
You want me to know

Hey, you hold me spellbound
Like a serpent in a trance
Dance for me, dance for me, baby
Show me how you dance
Hey, I don't know your language
But I know what you mean
Oh, dance for me, dance the unforseen
I see you out there on the floor
Dancing for me

Till you want, till you want
Till you want me
Till you fall, till you fall for
Till you fall for me

"Deadline"

"Deadline"


When I get aroused, I can make a headline
When you play it loud, I can feel the bassline
I only caught a glimpse, I only saw your outline
Loved you ever since, I fell for you from behind

[Chorus]
Running round barefooted
Gonna catch you up again
Running round barefooted
Gonna catch you up again

Too much alcohol, couldn't get your name right
Didn't care at all, seein' you in the daylight
When your daddy calls, I was on the breadline
Didn't care at all, see you at the deadline

[Chorus]

Say hello, say hello

I've been sold on a long lost love that will never die
I've been told it'll die but I don't know when
Don't forget your goals, altering your hemline
No good for your soul, no good for your waistline
Look in your heart, look in your mind's eye
Tear it all apart, watch the fashions fly by

Say hello, say hello

[Repeat chorus]

"Discipline Of Love"

"Discipline Of Love"



You naughty girl: so sharp and dry
Don't fill yourself with foolish pride
You wanted me to notice you
But when I came, you cut me
Why did you do it?
Why did you go and spoil the fun?
Why did you do it?
You need the discipline of love – some discipline
You wild child
How sweet you smile
Your crystal ball – it's broken
Why did you do it?
Why did you go and spoil the fun?
Why did you do it?
You need the discipline of love – some discipline
Take notice now: my turn to talk
The gate of love – it's narrow

"Disturbing Behaviour"

"Disturbing Behaviour"



Disturbing behaviour on the common front;
She wants perfect behviour out of everyone
She's got a bone to pick with you
And you don't know what to do;
She says your cheating days are through
And you know what you can do
Impropriety got the best of me
Impropriety wrote my destiny
Disturbing behaviour on the common front;
She wants perfect behaviour out of everyone
Outrageous behaviour convinces everyone
We want perfect behaviour out of everyone

"Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me"

"Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me"



Someone told someone, someone told you
But they wouldn't hurt you - not much
Since everyone tells the story
With his own little personal touch

Do nothing till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seam of anyone's dreams
Is over my head

Do nothing till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of
Others you've heard
I haven't a chance

True, I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I've been untrue?
Though we're apart, these words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you

Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But just do nothing till you hear it from me
And you never will!

True, I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I've been untrue?
Though we're apart, these words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you

Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But just do nothing till you hear it from me
And you never will!

"Don't Explain"

"Don't Explain"



Hush now, don't explain
Just say you'll remain
I'm glad your back, don't explain
Quiet, don't explain
What is there to gain
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain
You know that I love you
And what endures
All my thoughts of you
For I'm so completely yours
Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, don't matter
When you're with me, sweet
Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's yours love
Don't explain
