"Speed Your Love To Me"

"Speed Your Love To Me"



I couldn't sleep a wink last night
I'd love to hold on
Love to see the fires in motion
Love to feel a free world turn tonight

Run till we come, until we be
Speed your love to me
Run till we come, until we be
Speed your love

Run till we come, until we be
Speed your love to me
She would like to make a wish
Twenty fourth cannot be this
He moved at the speed of light
Through the day and through the night
Fire from the flame of youth
Fire

Run till we come, until we be
Speed your love to me

Just my imagination, just my imagination
You go to my head, you go to my head
With the flames that go higher and higher
And higher and higher and higher and higher
Over and over to me, speeds your love

I couldn't sleep a wink last night
I'd love to hold on
Love to see the fires in motion
I'd love to feel a free world turn tonight

Run till we come, until we be
Speed your love to me

Just my imagination, just my imagination
You go to my head, you go to my head
With the flames that go higher and higher
And higher and higher and higher and higher
Over and over to me, speeds your love

Run till we come, until we be
Speed your love

You go to my head, you go to my head
You go to my head, over me.
Higher and higher, higher and higher
All across to me

"Spirited Away"

"Spirited Away"



I’m not a complicated guy
I like life as simple as can be
There’s so much I don’t understand
So much I fail to see

But we got spirited away
Got separated in the night
Somehow we drifted from our path
Spirits in the night
Spirited away

Somehow the doors became unlocked
And our love just slipped away
Back then I hoped that we could talk
Though I don’t know what I’d say

But we got spirited away
And separated in the night
Somehow we drifted from our path
Spirits in the night
Yeah we were spirited away
Into some time some other place
Where I would learn to live with lies
And I would never see your face
Spirited away

Years have passed since then
So many moments I have spent
Memories don’t fade with time
Maybe this is how it’s meant
That we would separate like stars
Together since birth
No longer see things from afar
No longer walk on the same earth

Cos we were spirited away
Got separated in the night
Yeah we drifted from the path
We took our own internal flight
Yeah we were spirited away
Into some time some other place
Where I would learn to live the lie
But I would never see your face
Yeah we were spirited away

I’m not a complicated guy
I like life as simple as can be
There’s so much I don’t understand
So much I fail to see

But we got spirited away..

"Stagefright"

"Stagefright"



Death by curiosity, strangled down upon on his knees,
Tell me how, that it could be, it’s you who gives me stagefright,
And even though the saints would swear that lovers like a leather chair,
There is no point but I do declare,

It’s you who gives me stagefright,
Its you, its you, its you, you, give me stagefright,
Its you, its you, its you, you, you take the spotlight,
Time is now, time is late, raise your hands, that feels great,
Come with me, take me there, open arms, open air,

Drunk all the finest labels, got stoned and then unable, to f**k beneath the table,
But that’s just what they’d try to do,
But if you tried to stop them, he’d go to his apartment,
And girls would gather round with pit bull dogs and heel shoes,

Its you, its you, its you, you, its you, you give me stagefright,
Its you, its you, its you, you, you take the spotlight,
Time is now, time is late,
Raise your hands, that feels great,
Come with me, take me there, open arms, open air,

This moment, this moment, you’ll take me, you’ll take me there,
No time for hesitations, no twisted explanations,
Only one destination.
It’s paradise - inside your room,
But if you tried to stop them, they’d go to their apartment,
And girls would gather round with pit bull dogs and heel shoes,

That’s you, it’s you, its you, you, give me stagefright
Its you, its you, its you, you, you take the spotlight,
This moment, in this moment, you’ll take me there,

Time is now, time is late,raise your hands, that feels great
Come with me, take me there, open arms, open air,
Time is now, time is late,raise your hands, that feels great
Come with me, take me there, open arms, open air,
Time is now, time is late,raise your hands, that feels great
Come with me, take me there, open arms, open air

"Stand By Love"

"Stand By Love"



You know my heart beats rhythm and my dreams still take me higher
I've travelled round the world but they can't cure my desire
The city looks pretty tonight
Hold on now let's go till morning

Get up on love and stand by me
Stand by love, stand by me

I'm a shell shocked lover, under cover that's my game
I'm your long lost brother, little sister what's your name

I feel so alone
I'm stranded and so far from home I'm calling
Get up on love and stand by me
Stand by love, and stand by me
Stand by love

Love - stand by love stand by me
Stand by love stand by me

Give me one good reason why you don't come play with fire
'Cos when the earth starts moving you know I'm no liar

The city looks pretty tonight
Oh hold on now let's go till morning

Get up on love and stand by me
Stand by love, and stand by me
Stand by love stand by

Stand by love
Stand by love stand by me
Stand by love stand by me
Stand by love stand by me
Stand by love stand by me
Stand by love stand by me
Stand by love stand by love
Stand by love stand by love
Stand by me

"Stars Will Lead The Way"

"Stars Will Lead The Way"



I’m the one who broke apart,
I’m the one that’s free.
I’m the one who fell apart,
Yes I’m the one, that’s me.
I’m the one who fell away,
The one who didn’t care.
But there is a long trail,
Stretching now from here to there.

Stars will lead the way,
Stars will light the sky,
Stars will fall through for you and I.
From the darkest days to the darkest side,
there is a long trail stretching here to you and I.

I’m the one who lost the sense,
the one who couldn’t see.
I’m the one who lost the chance,
Within this odyssey.
I’m the one who failed to feel,
The blackout of the sun.
There’s an old tale telling me that it’s just begun.

Stars will lead the way,
Stars will light the sky,
Stars will fall here, now for you and I.
From the darkest days to the darkest side,
There is a long trail stretching here to you and I.

Stars will lead the way.
Stars will light the sky.

And I’m wandering in a trance, taken over me,
wandering in a world but I can't see.
Wandering in trance, taken over me.
Taken over me,
Taken over me.

I’m the one who broke apart,
I’m the one that’s free.
I’m the one who broke apart,
the one that couldn’t see.

Stars will lead the way,
Stars will light the sky.
Stars will fall here for you and I.
From the darkest days to the darkest side,
Stars will fall, fall, fall, fall for you and I.

Stars will lead the way,
Stars will light the skies,
Stars will fall, fall, fall, fall for you and I

Stars will lead the way,
Stars will light the skies

"Stay Visible"

"Stay Visible"



The road opens wide
There's space here for the two of us
We'd like to call you
But now we are tired

The text is the same
The music as well
I'm just making this up
As I go along

Stay visible
How to stay visible when driving a motorcycle
Stay visible
How to stay visible when driving home alone

(La-la-lala)

The road keeps on flowing
I feel like I'm drowning
And in this little place
My bike does not fit
It does not fit in my parking space

Stay visible
How to stay visible when driving a motorcycle
Stay visible
How to stay visible when driving home alone

Home
Home
Home
Home

"Stranger"

"Stranger"



Tell me why.
Do you know what were looking for?
Any truth in the rumours I ignore?
Tell me why, I still deny?
Anytime secrets, in every sound.
I can keep my feet up off the ground.
I'm in the air, reeling everywhere.
There's something new and I must say.
It makes me feel so super real. Just look and you'll find.
We are drifting through space and time.

Stranger, beautiful stranger,
Come tell me if you are, the silent star, Explain!
Stranger, beautiful stranger,
I wonder if you are the silent star,
Explain.

Tell me why, do you know what we're looking for?
Any truth in the rumours I ignore?
Then tell me why I still deny?

Summertime,
Winter,
Moonlight,
And the Sun.
I get the feeling this has just begun,
And yet it feels so super real.
Look and you'll find,
We are moving through space and time.

Tell me who you are.
Tell me who you are.
Who are you?

"Street Fighting Years"

"Street Fighting Years"



Chased you out of this world, didn't mean to stop
I turned around and suddenly you where gone
Like some bird from paradise, the fire and ice
We turned around and suddenly you where gone, gone, gone
And now summer burns a hole inside and years are golden once again
My thoughts return to you my dear young friend
Oh come this way
Will you look down this way
I go down on the street
Where the wild wind's blowing
Here comes a hurricane

I say come down this way
Will you look down this way
I need you tonight
I need you around me

I'm looking through the windows
And my mind goes in a whirl
Well there's a multitude of candles
Burning in the windows of this world
I'm looking at the colours
Checking out the straights
I'm counting out the numbers
Will tomorrow never change?

Still I hear you and I love you
And I'll follow you elsewhere
And I'll remember this occasion
I'll remember being aware

'Cause we've got panic in the evening
We've got fall-out in the streets
And I hear you and I follow you
And I'll call out and I'll say
That I can hear your sister call out
And I hear her call your name
They're calling sweet surrender
And things won't be the same
And don't you think that I don't care
And don't you think that I don't know
And don't you hear them calling out
In a place not far from here

And I hear big wheels are turning
Some things are not to fear
They say this is the time and place
They call street fighting years

And I hear great wheels are turning
And I tell you not to fear
They say this is the time and place
They call street fighting years

And I love you, I look for you
And I walk to you, I walk to you
And I hear big wheels are turning
Is there no way out of here?
They'll be calling out tomorrow.

"Street Hassle"

"Street Hassle"



Waltzing Matilda, looked at her wallet
The sexy one smiled in dismay
She pulled out four twenties
'Cause she liked round figures
Everybody stayed for a day
I think I'm on fire and you know I admire you
Buy it, why don't we slip away
Although I'm sure you're certain
It's a rarity me flirting
Sha la la la lay, come on

Sha la la la la, Sha la la la la, Sha la la la la
Come on and slip away, Sha la la

Cascading lowly he entered her slowly
And showed her where he coming from
And sha la la la la. Made love to her gently
Just like she had never come
And sha la la la la. Sha la la la
When the sun rose and she made to leave
And sha la la la la. Sha la la la you know
Neither one regretted a thing

Say sha la la la la, Sha la la la la, Sha la la la la
Come on and slip away
Say sha la la la la, Sha la la la la, Sha la la la la

We need your loving so badly
We need your loving so
Slip away, come on, slip away
Sha la la la la, Sha la la la la

Love has gone away
She took the ring from my finger
And there's nothing left to say
We need your loving so badly
We need your loving so
Come on, slip away
