"Way Out"

"Way Out"


I used to work it out with my head in a cloud
A record machine playin’ out loud
I guess my fate had to turn
Followed a star to a candle that burned
Bag full of crackers an’ chocolate bars
Breakin’ my back, sleepin’ in cars
Ha! I always woke up in doubt
Well, now I know what the fuss is about
Way out, out of the blue
I met a young girl
It could’ve been you
Hey, what was I supposed to do
I didn’t want to fall in love
Try to keep sane an’ savin’ the light
Two things to do when you can’t fight the night
I always lay down in doubt
Well, now I know what the fuss is about
Way out, out of the blue
I met a young girl
It could’ve been you
Hey, what was I supposed to do
I didn’t want to fall in love
Sometimes you don’t decide for yourself
Sometimes you don’t decide for yourself
Sometimes you can’t decide for yourself
Way out, out of the blue
Hey, what was I supposed to do
Way out, out of the blue
I met a young girl
It could’ve been you
Hey, what was I supposed to do
I didn’t want to fall in love
Way out, out of the blue
I met a young girl
It could’ve been you
Hey, what was I supposed to do
I didn’t want to fall in love
I didn’t want to fall in love

"What's She Like"

"What's She Like"


What's she like when she turns around to kiss you goodnight?
When she wakes up in the morning by your side?
What's she like?

What's she like?
The yellow moon or the deep blue of the sea?
Do you feel the same way you did when it was me?
What's she like?

Oh I've been holding on
I've been holding on for far too long
I've been holding on
I've been holding on much too long.

What's she like when you're making love and stars are in her eyes?
When you're looking for the answers in her smile?
What's she like?

Oh I've been holding on
I've been holding on for far too long
I've been holding on
I've been holding on much too long
Too long.

I never knew I could love somebody the way I loved you
I never thought I'd be the broken-hearted
Well, nothing hurts you like the truth.

So what's she like when she turns to you, when push comes to shove?
When she whispers in your ear that she's in love?
What's she like?

Oh I've been holding on
I've been holding on for far too long
I've been holding on
I've been holding on much too long
So what's she like?

"Why Don't You Bring Me Flowers?"

"Why Don't You Bring Me Flowers?"


Tell me why don't you bring me flowers?
Tell me why don't you notice me?
Another stranger on a train, a tip rock in the rain,
In the rain, in the cold, cold rain

I will throw the past on the fire
I will sing you to sleep when you're tired
When the summer's turning small
I'll buy you a sweater for the fall
Warm and soft like the moonlight

But the now we part into reveal
The truth when we gathered living soul
Teach me how to breathe

Tell me why don't you bring me flowers?
Tell me why don't you notice me?
Another stranger on a train, a tip rock in the rain,
In the rain, in the cold, cold rain

When the summer's turning small
Buy you a sweater for the fall
Warm and soft like the moonlight

"Why Don'tcha?"

"Why Don'tcha?"


You're starting the trip
With sugar so sweet
You're pulling your face
And pushing your feet
Chilling is easy you hide in the beat
But you're a loner
If you wanna say hello
If you wanna talk real slow
Why don'tcha phone up?
If you want the ice to glow
If you want the stars to show
Why don'tcha you call up?
Pulling the break
Is a stupid mistake
Time is right now
I gotta take what you make
No finger in the cake
When your body is a quake
Can over throw ya
If you wanna say hello
If you wanna talk real slow
Why don'tcha phone up?
(Oh, why don'tcha phone up?)
If you want the heart to grow
If you've seen an UFO
Why don'tcha you call up?
(Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)
Hey, hey, hey
If you wanna say hello
If you wanna talk real slow
Why don'tcha phone up?
Pulling the break
Is a stupid mistake
Time is right now
I gotta take what you make
No finger in the cake
When your body is a quake
Can over throw ya
If you wanna see the light
If you wanna dance all night
Why don'tcha phone up?
(Oh, why don'tcha phone up?)
If you want touch the sun
If you wanna join the fun
Why don'tcha you phone up?
(Oh, why don'tcha phone up?)
If you want the heart to grow
If you've seen an UFO
Why don'tcha you call up?
(Hm. Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)
Oh, why don'tcha call up?
Oh, why don'cha call up? Oh, oh.
(Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)
Hey, hey
Why don'tcha call up?

"Wish I Could Fly"

"Wish I Could Fly"


Halfway through the night
I wake up in a dream
Echoes in my head
Make every whisper turn into a scream

I dreamed I could fly
Out in the blue
Over this town
Following you
Over the trees
Subways and cars
I'd try to find out
Who you really are

In the middle of the night
Cool sweatin' in my bed
Got the windows open wide
Thinkin' about all the things you said

I wish I could fly
Out in the blue
Over this town
Following you
I'd fly over rooftops
The great boulevards
To try to find out
Who you really are
Who you really are

I wish I could fly now
Wish I could fly now
Wish I could fly now

I wish I could fly
Around and around
Over this town
The dirt on the ground
I'd follow your course
Of doors left ajar
To try to find out
Who you really are
To try to find out
Who you really are

"You Can't Do This To Me Anymore"

"You Can't Do This To Me Anymore"


(You can't do this to me anymore!)
You stepped out of a silver van
Driven by rainbow man
You said your name was Mary-Ann
The coolest plan you had at hand
Arouse them on the garbage cans
Looking grand and slightly tan
your hair was dancing to the jam
By February, March and fun

You can't do this to me anymore,
You can't do this to me anymore!

Looking for that saving grace,
I find you tricky to erase
Don't know what I see in space
It might well be a hide in place
Can't stay in, I won't get out
Every emotion seems to shout
I'm going blind into the chase
No chance that I will forget your face

You can't do this to me anymore,
You can't do this to me anymore!
You can't do this to me anymore,
You can't do this to me anymore!

"You Can't Put Your Arms Around What's Already Gone"

"You Can't Put Your Arms Around What's Already Gone"


I saw red, stayed at home
Placed a big pillow over the phone
In this town where I'm from
I've learned two is so much better than one
But you left me alone
You can't put your arms around what's already gone
Watch you sink like a stone
You can't put your arms around what's already gone
Well, you hurt to the core
You used to kiss like no one had done before
And your taste turned me on
Now you drive me real crazy just by being born
Cos you left (left left left) me alone (left me alone)
And you can't put your arms around what's already gone
Watch you sink like a stone
You can't put your arms around what's already gone
Baba b-baba b-baba ba
Baba b-baba b-baba ba
Took the tram 'round the bay
Where everyone tells you to have a nice day
And my pride almost broke
When the tears don't fit you, you look like a joke
And you left (left left left) me alone (left me alone)
You can't put your arms around what's already gone
Cryin' eyes gettin' worn
You can't put your arms around what's already gone
Hey, you left (left left left) me alone (left me alone)
You can't put your arms around what's already gone
Watch you sink like a stone
You can't put your arms around what's already gone
Baba b-baba b-baba ba
Baba b-baba b-baba ba

"You Don't Understand Me"

"You Don't Understand Me"


I've been up all night, you've been puttin' up a fight.
Seems like nothin' I say gets through.
How did this old bed fit a world between me and you.
We said "Goodnight" but the silence was so thick
you could cut it with a knife.
We've hit the wall again and there's nothin' I can do.
You're the one, yea, I've put all my trust in your hands.
C'mon and look in my eyes, here I am, here I am

You don't understand me, my baby.
You don't seem to know that I need you so much.
You don't understand me, my feelings,
the reason I'm breathin', my love

The mornin' comes and you're reaching out for me
just like everything's the same
and I let myself believe things are gonna change.
When you kiss my mouth and you hold my body close,
do you wonder who's inside?
Maybe there's no way we could feel each other's pain.
Tell me why it gets harder to know where I stand.
I guess loneliness found a new friend, here I am

You don't understand me...

You don't seem to get me, my baby.
You don't really see that I live for your touch.
You don't understand me, my dreams or the things I believe in, my love.
You don't understand me. You don't understand me. Understand me.

"You Make It Sound So Simple"

"You Make It Sound So Simple"


The world looks complicated,
The universe so frustrating
I wish I was blind, just for a moment
I'm having a hard time sleeping
I'm fighting a far light visions
Images in my mind
I'm saying my prayers
But you make it sound so simple, so simple,
You make it sound so simple, so simple
(But you make it sound so simple)
You make it simple, like 1, 2, 3
You make it simple, like A, B, C
You make it simple, there's a you and me
You make it simple, there's a you and me
The world sinks in corruption
I'm waiting for an interruption
Is it all in my head? It's getting confusing
The sun has a hard time rising
Fighters and far out visions
The leaving the dare I'm saying my prayers
But you make it sound so simple, so simple,
You make it sound so simple, so simple
(But you make it)
You make it simple, like 1, 2, 3
You make it simple, like A, B, C
You make it simple, there's a you and me
You make it simple, there's a you and me
You make it simple like how to breathe
You make it simple like how to breathe
You make it simple, there's a you and me
You make it simple, there's a you and me

"You Turn Me On"

"You Turn Me On"


I wake up in a different daylight
Guess I haven't been around
See me follow the shadow haunting your body
Naked like water - shining like honey
Move me - You turn me on - The thrill of it all
You turn me on - The thrill of it all
You turn me on - The thrill of it all

I read in the paper how everything's changed
But it's all the same - it's out of the game
I reach out and touch an endless temptation
Live in a dream - the strangest sensation
Move me - You turn me on...

The lines I have written are the lines on your face
They merge out of nowhere - and leave with no trace
And I've had the feeling we're turnin' to one
When everything's said - when everything's done
Move me - You turn me on...

You move me - Oh, baby, turn me on
