"Trouble"

"Trouble"


Looking out on the city tonight and I'm wondering why
Trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong
I am lost in an ocean of mixed emotions now
Everything I held sacred now has gone

Here am I far from home
Learning how to be alone
Silly me I should of guessed
Never settle on second best
Time for me to reassess

Chorus:

Heading into trouble
I am always heading into trouble
Sideways, downways
Heading into trouble
Now I'm losing you

It's gonna be a lonely summer without you 'round
I'll even miss the way you sing off key
Down in the market the reggae bands won't sound the same
Old Joe says without you they just don't believe

Now I am no longer sure
Who's gonna open every door
The love I take and couldn't share
The warmth I had but didn't care
To give myself I never dared

(Chorus)

Hope it all goes well in the future for you my dear
Hope you find where your heart truly belongs
I don't know about me and tomorrow
'Cause you're gonna be a hard act to follow
I'll miss you baby every day even though you're far away
Here's to you in every way

(Chorus)

"True Blue"

"True Blue"


Never been a millionaire
and I tell you mama I don't care
Never gonna own a race-horse
or a fast back mid-engine Porsche
Don't think I'll own a private jet
on the Stock Exchange I'm no threat
So won't you help me make up my mind
Don't you think I'd better get myself back home

Sitting in the moonlight glow
excuse me if my feelings show
Watching all the trucks roll by
dreaming up an alibi
You see, back home I'm considered the fool
but maybe they're right I don't know
So can't you help make up my mind
Don't you think I'd better get myself back home
Who cares

Daddy says he'll buy me car
to drive just as far as I need
He wants me back at any expense
He's got a lot more money than sense
Funny but now that I'm gone
they all wanna be concerned
Oh please can you make up my mind
Don't you think I'd better get myself back home
Just don't know what to do
Maybe I'll walk, maybe I'll ride, maybe I'll never ever decide

Get out da way
I gotta get on home
I gotta get home as soon as I can

"Try A Little Tenderness"

"Try A Little Tenderness"


Oh she may be weary
Young girls they do got weary
Wearing that same old shabby dress
Yeah yeah yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness

Oh yeah, that's all you gotta do

You know she's there waiting
Just anticipating
Things that she'll never, never possess
No no no
But while she's there waiting
Try a little tenderness

It's not just sentimental, no no no no
She has her grief and cares
But the soft words
That are spoke so gently, yeah
It makes it easier, easier to bear

You won't regret it
Young girls they don't forget it
Love is their only happiness
Yeah yeah yeah
Its so so easy
Try a little tenderness
You know what I mean

But the soft words
They are spoken so gently, yeah, yeah
It makes it easier, easier to bear

She may be weary
young girls they do got weary
Wearing that same old shabby dress
Yeah yeah yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness

Yeah, a little tenderness
That's all you've gotta do
Listen to me
Try, try, try, try
One time for the last time
A little bit of tenderness
tenderness, tenderness
Ooh, need you, I love you
I want you tonight, love me, baby
A little bit of tenderness

"Twistin' The Night Away"

"Twistin' The Night Away"


Let me tell you about a place, somewhere up in New York way
where the people are so gay, twistin' the night away
Here they have a lot of fun, puttin' trouble on the run
Oh man you'll find the old and young twistin' the night away

Here's a man in evening clothes, how he got here I don't know
but oh man, you ought to see him go, twistin' the night away
He's dancing with a chick in slacks, she's moving up and back
Oh man, there ain't nothing like twistin' the night away

Feel much better

Here's a fellow in blue jeans, who's dancing with an older queen
dolled up in her diamond rings, twistin' the night away
Man you ought to see her go, twistin' to the rock and roll
Here you'll find the young and the old twistin' the night away

They're twistin', twistin', everybody's doing great
They're twistin' man, twistin', they're twistin' the night away
Twistin', you know they're twistin', twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin', man twistin' the night away

Here they have a lot of fun, puttin' trouble on the run
Oh man you'll find young and the old twistin' the night away
Here's a man in evening clothes, how he got here I don't know
I don't know but man you ought to see him go
Twistin' the night away

"Two Shades Of Blue"

"Two Shades Of Blue"


Pack your bags and your radio
You don't live here anymore
Take your time as you walk out that door
I don't cry us any long

It don't matter what you wear
It's all over now cry
Two shades of blue
Tangled up in you

Don't be sad if I say the wrong thing
I don't lecture any more
Take a walk on the wild side now
Love don't live here anymore

I don't worry about no space
When all is said and done
Two shades of blue
Tangled up in you

Slow down honey by that door
Wait for no one anymore
Crying tender with your arms spread wide
Hold on cry not anymore

I don't worry what dress you wear
It's all over now my dear
Two shades of blue
Tangled up in you

"Until The Real Thing Comes Along"

"Until The Real Thing Comes Along"


I'd work for you, I'd even slave for you
I'd be a beggar or a knave for you
If that isn't love, it'll have to do
Until the real thing comes along

I'd gladly move the earth for you
To prove my love, dear, and it's worth for you
If that isn't love, it'll have to do
Until the real thing comes along

With all the words, dear, at my command
I just can't make you understand
I'll always love you, darling, come what may
My heart is yours, what more can I say?

I'd sigh for you, I'd cry for you
I'd tear the stars down from the skies for you
If that isn't love, it'll have to do
Until the real thing comes along

With all the words, dear, at my command
I just can't make you understand
I'll always love you, baby, come what may
My heart is yours, what more can I say?

I'd lie for you, I'll cry for you
I'd lay my body down and die for you
But if that isn't love, it's gonna have to do
Until the real thing comes along
Until the real thing comes along

"Walking In The Sunshine"

"Walking In The Sunshine"


Oh my, just another day
When I look in the mirror and I am turning pretty truly grey
And I ain't waitin' around this town for my ship to come in
We can't spend half our lives just day dreamin'

One of these days
Baby and it won't be long
We're out of here
Over that horizon
The day will come
When we'll be walkin' in the sunshine

All I want is a better life for you and me
Far away
It'll be an odyssey
Hand in hand
And we'll be walkin' in the sunshine
And we'll be walkin' in the sunshine

Oh my, these are scary times
There's bullet flyin'
And streets are burning
And I've a worried mind
I find my deliverance by the riverside
And I'll bathe my head in the cool,
cool water and be satisfied (Yes I will)

One of these days
Baby and it won't be long
We're out of here
Over that horizon
The day will come
When we'll be walkin' in the sunshine

All I want is a better life for you and me
Far away
It'll be an odyssey
Hand in hand
And we'll be walkin' in the sunshine
Oh yeah!

And we'll be walkin' in the sunshine

Let's set sail for a brand new life
Where the vines and the olives grow
"Full steam ahead!" to a foreign land
Where the weather suits, the weather suits,
the weather suits my clothes

One of these days
Baby and it won't be long
We're out of here
Over that horizon
That day will come
And we'll be walkin' in the sunshine

All I want is a better life for you and me
Far away
It'll be an odyssey
We'll be free
And we'll be walkin' in the sunshine
Oh yeah!
Oh yeah!
Oh yeah!
Walkin' in the sunshine

"Way Back Home"

"Way Back Home"


I was just a little boy without care
I remember looking up and seeing you there
I never wandered too far from your sight
Cause all the love I needed was there in your eyes

We grew up in a war zone city with a cast iron wind
Broken lives, darken streets, and twisted steel
But around our house the sky seems so blue
And on a wing and prayer we just muddled through

And we always kept the laughter and the smile upon our face
In that good-old-fashion British way with pride and faultless grace
I shall never forget those childhood days for as long as I shall live
And I'll always find my way back, always find my way back home

Tell me why in wars that made our family strong
As our defiant little Island weathered the storm
There's never seemed enough on my plate
You said: "Be grateful, say grace, don't complain."

How can I ever thank you for the lessons that I've learnt
And the precious warmth and comfort that I've felt at every turn
And the roses sacrifice their lives for freedom and for peace
I will always find my way back, always find my way back home

I'll give you stories, operation burning skies
And our Nation with its back against the wall
Like a wide-eyed schoolboy I hang on with the war
Stories I was too young to recall

And we always kept the laughter and the smile upon our face
In that good-old-fashion British way with pride and faultless grace
I shall never forget those childhood days for as long as I should live
And I'll always find my way back, always find my way

And we always kept the laughter and the smile upon our face
In that good-old-fashion British way with pride and faultless grace
I shall never forget those childhood days for as long as I should live
And I'll always find my way back, always find my way back home

[Churchill's background-ending speech:]
"We shall fight on the beaches,
We shall fight on the landing grounds,
We shall fight in the fields, and in the streets,
We shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender..."

"We Can Win"

"We Can Win"


We can win, there's no doubt about it
We can win, with faith in our hearts
Oh-oh, we can win, stand up and shout it
All the world will know, whoa

You can feel the tension in the air

Oh-oh-oh, we can win, with faith in our hearts

Ah, my knees are trembling, shredded nerves
The language of the universe

Sail on, my dreams
Sail on, my hopes

Oh-oh-oh, we can win, there's no doubt about it
Oh-oh-oh, we can win, with faith in our hearts

All my life
Why does it mean so much to me?
It's in my blood, my DNA
Here we go
If destiny is in our hands
Stand up for the champions

Sail on, my dreams
Sail on, my hopes
Sail on, my dreams
Sail on, my hopes

Oh-oh-oh, we can win, there's no doubt about it
Oh-oh-oh, we can win, with faith in our hearts
Oh-oh-oh, we can win, stand up and shout it
All the world will know, whoa

Oh-oh-oh, we can win, we won't be divided
Oh-oh-oh, we can win, with God on our side
Oh-oh-oh, we can win, make no mistake about it
All the world will know, whoa, oh yeah

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
We can win

"We Three Kings"
(feat. Mary J. Blige)

"We Three Kings"
(feat. Mary J. Blige)



We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star

O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy Perfect Light

Born a King on Bethlehem's plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign

O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light

Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising, all men raising
Worship Him, God most high

O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light

Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes of life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb

O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light

Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and Sacrifice
Alleluia, Alleluia
Earth to heav'n replies

O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light
