"I Dream Of Wires"

"I Dream Of Wires"



I am the final silence
The last electrician alive
And they called me the sparkle
I was the best
I worked them all

New ways, new ways
I dream of wires

We opened doors by thinking
We went to sleep by dialing O
We drove to work by proxy
I bought my wife in just for show

New ways, new ways
I dream of wires

So I press C for comfort
I dream of wires, the old days
New ways, new ways
I dream of wires

I am the final silence
The last electrician alive
And they called me the sparkle
I was the best
I worked them all

New ways, new ways
I dream of wires

"I'll Be Your Baby Tonight"

"I'll Be Your Baby Tonight"



Close your eyes - close the door
You don't have to worry any more
I'll be your baby tonight

Shut the light - shut the shade
You don't have to be afraid
I'll be your baby tonight

Well, the mockingbird's gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
Big old moon's gonna shine like a spoon
We're gonna let it - you won't regret it

Kick your shoes off - do not fear
Bring that bottle over here
I'll be your baby tonight

Be my baby
Be my baby
Be my baby
Be my baby
I'll be your baby tonight

Well, the mockingbird's gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
Big old moon's gonna shine like a spoon
We're gonna let it - you won't regret it

Kick your shoes off - do not fear
Bring that bottle over here
I'll be your baby tonight

Be my baby
Be my baby
Be my baby
Be my baby
I'll be your baby tonight
I'll be your baby tonight
I'll be your baby tonight

"In Walks Love Again"

"In Walks Love Again"



We asked all our friends
Where would this desire lead?
Spoke to each other's hearts
Willed it not to be a dream
What would it take
But two in tune imaginations?
It was too late to pretend it wasn't real
When in walked love again
Cooler than you've ever seen
In walked love again
Showing us how it should be

We were sure, this time
That we knew where one another stood
Love runs it's own course
Too late to change it
If we could
Still questions came
Now we were faced with trusting danger
We caught the blame
Could we let each other go?

When in walked love again
Smiling like a lover can
In walked love again
There you are and here I am
In walked love again

My woman said: "can you take it?"
I said to her: "we can make it, yeah"
In walked love again
Cooler than you've ever seen
In walked love again
Showin' us how it should be
In walked love again
Smilin' like a lover can
In walked love again
There you are and here I am
In walked love again
Walkin' again
In walked love again
Walkin' again
In walked love again
Chasin' after you and me
In walked love again
Braver than our wildest dreams

"It Could Happen To You"

"It Could Happen To You"



Guard your dreams at night
Lock your heart up tight
It could happen to you
Don't count stars
Or you may stumble
Someone drops a sigh
And down you tumble
Keep an eye on spring

Run when churchbells ring

It could happen to you
All I did was wonder
How your arms would be
And it happened to me

All I ever did was wonder
How your arms would be
And it happened to me

"It's Not Difficult"

"It's Not Difficult"



You don't know where to look
You feel upside down
Her number's in the book
You could turn her down
It's unfair, she answers your prayer
You never gonna ask again
She's on tap, you never relax
You'd trade cut you don't know when
It's just typical of a love affair
You cut her no slack, she never talks back
She makes you come right away
You both unpack ignoring the fact
Your planning every word you say

It's difficult to imagine why
You're so critical, have another try
How you burn, she can't come out to play
No one warned you love could hurt this way

You think you're off the hook
But she can turn you 'round
She says the table's booked
You're about to drown

It's just typical of a love affair
Such a ritual, happens everywhere
I will never come 'round to your door
I know you won't be there anymore

You made your bed, you came and did
You got more than you bargained for
You over react, you both step back
You feel like you've been through a wall

It's not difficult to imagine why
It's just difficult to be satisfied

"Jealous"

"Jealous"



Jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous,
Jealous, jealous,

When I see you with that guy
And he catches your pretty eye
You know it makes we want to die
And I'm left out to dry
You know it makes me want to feel
Jealous, jealous,
Jealous, jealous,

Don't you know that it makes me green
When I think about you and him
I'm just an end to all your means
And I'm torn apart at the seams
You know it makes me want to feel

Jealous, jealous,
Jealous, jealous,
When I see you with that guy
And he catches your pretty eye
You know it makes we want to die
Oh, and I'm left out to dry
You know it makes me want to feel
You know it makes me want to feel jealous, jealous,
Jealous, jealous,
Jealous, jealous,
Jealous, jealous,
Jealous, jealous,
Jealous, jealous,
Jealous, jealous,
Jealous, jealous,

"Johnny And Mary"

"Johnny And Mary"



Johnny's always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls
Knows he tires easily

Johnny thinks the world would be right
If it could buy truth from him
Mary says he changes his mind
More than a woman
But she made her bed
Even when the chance was slim

Johnny says he's willing to learn
When he decides he's a fool
Johnny says he'll live anywhere
When he earns time to
Mary combs her hair
Says she should be used to it

Mary always hedges her bets
She never knows what to think
She says that he still acts like he's
Being discovered
Scared that he'll be caught
Without a second thought
Running around

Johnny feels he's wasting his breath
Trying to talk sense to her
Mary says he's lacking a real
Sense of proportion
So she combs her hair
Knows he tires easily

Johnny's always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls
Says she should be used to it

Johnny's always running around
Running around

"Keep In Touch"

"Keep In Touch"



We got to keep in touch
We fit just like a glove girl
Between the two of us
There always will be love there
I don't mind if I don't hear a word from you in years
If you blow my candle out I will fall to tears
Knowing your still lovin' makes me want it to be real
Darlin' you've just got to let me know the way you feel
We got to keep in touch
We fit just like a glove girl
Between the two of us
There always will be love there
I know when I'm kissin' you you're easin' from behind

Too much solitude can make a body lose his mind
When I get that burnin' need to share what we have found
I have faith that you will let me know you're still around
We got to keep in touch
We fit just like a glove girl
Between the two of us
There always will be love there
Keep in touch girl
Keep in touch girl
Keep in touch girl
Keep in touch girl
Keep in touch girl
Keep in touch girl

"Know By Now"

"Know By Now"



You ought to know by now

Baby when our hearts awoke
Think of all the rules we broke
In the name of love we hoped
Little did we know
Darling all the time we spent
Ignoring all the consequences
And hiding from big evidence
Hoping things would change

But the yearning grew like the loneliness of a castaway
To be near to you was the only thing in my heart each day
Keeping me alive till your rescue came
Honey you mean everything to me

You ought to know by now
Love means everything
You ought to know by now
Only love can bring happiness

Wishful thinking spent in vain
What to loose and what to gain
All the guilt and all the pain
Seemed to come away
And baby when our hearts awoke
Think of all the rules we broke
In the name of love we spoke
Little did we know

But the hope was there like a ray of sun on a cloudy day
Any change from impossibility to the only way
Love can conquer all and it's here to stay
Honey you mean everything to me

You ought to know by now
Love means everything
You ought to know by now
Only love can bring happiness
You ought to know by now
Love means everything
You ought to know by now
Only love can bring happiness
You ought to know by now

You ought to know by now

You ought to know by now

You ought to know by now
