A New Flame

I was bowled out
I was sold down the river
And her warm heart
Would turn me forever

She's turned me round
A new flame has come
And nothing she can do
Can do me wrong

I am stern now
Petty words
Don't believe me
But her warm smile
Is never gonna leave me

She's turned me round
A new flame has come
And nothing she can do
Can do me wrong

Wrong oh no
Wrong oh no

She's made of real glass
She got real real emotion
But my heart laughs
I have that same
Sweet devotion

She's turned me round
A new flame has come
And nothing she can do
Can do me wrong

Wrong oh no
Wrong oh no
Nothing she can do
Can ever do me wrong

Ain't That A Lot Of Love

Ain't That A Lot Of Love

I know the desert can't hold all the love
that I feel in my heart for you
If I could spread it out across the sea,
I know my love would cork it up
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold

If the bees only knew how sweet you are baby
They would seal up their honeycomb
If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is
They would tighten up the song
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Your lips are so sweet, honey you're my every need
You got a smile so rare
A love like yours I just can't compare
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold

If the cook in the kitchen had a touch as hot as yours
They wouldn't need a fire
I can't think of a word that describes you better
Than the sight of her

Back Into The Universe

Back Into The Universe

This is your God [repeat]

As we wander back into the universe
We render ourselves into a higher plane
Believing we will never wonder why again

He surely must be laughing Mr. Universe
Seeing us slowly head towards our goal
Only the joke is we don't know what it is at all

Yet our Gods teach us divinity

And we go on searching for you and me

As for the universe
This is your God

The order's truly random in the universe
And where will we be in a thousand years?
Soothingly searching to allay our fears

Well now we've wandered backwards to eternity
We're changing the concept of belief in time
Re-arranging the clock that dictates our minds

Yet our Gods teach us divinity
And we go on searching for you and me
As for the universe
This is your God
As for the universe
This is your God
This is your God

Blue

Blue

I'm blue, blue like a Monday morning

Raised up in a way that I can value
All the material things that I could ever really need don't matter
So many ways that I can thank you
But you know that I am here and no-one else in this world will matter

I'm blue, blue like a Monday morning
It's true, it's you that's got me yearning

For a love that will last forever
Wishing that somebody somewhere
Would break through these wrought iron doors and just smile
Because I'm blue

I can't get emote to try and tell you
All the love that I have
Am I ever gonna make it happen?
So many ways that I can thank you
But you know that I'm here and no-one else in this
world will matter

I'm blue, blue like a Monday morning
It's true, it's you that's got me yearning

Because I'm blue. Nobody knows that I'm blue

Broken Man

Broken Man

Now I am a broken man, Now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man, Now I am a broken man

It's no good being here with me
I'm a little scared of the things you see
It's no good having friends at all
They do me no good, they don't do me no good at all

It's no good living in the past
It's no good at all you know it don't last
It's no good making a change
There's nothing to change I don't want to rearrange

But what I wanna do is spend some time with you
But I know I can't because all you want is you

So now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man
I am a broken man

I saw my shadow on the wall
It looked at me then left me
I'm hoping somebody will call
But I hope they don't come and get me at all

Because what I wanna do is spend some time with you
But I know I can't because all you want is you

So now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man
I am a broken man

Close To You

Close To You

This land is real, real as the next man
This land is there for all to see
You're standing there so cold and calm
You stand so close to me

And you out there can keep away
There's nothing owed to you
All I want's to lose myself and stay so close to you

The river is cruel its pipes are sprayed with long forgotten names
Big boys now with kids whose lives will never feel the same
If you out there don't get what I say, there's nothing owed to you
To feel that way is born inside no matter what you do

I wonder how my fortune fell
When everything began to melt
The case I had for wasting that
That never came
I want to walk away again
Away again
Away again
There to wonder how those things will never be
Searching for that grand illusion fools have called the key
If you don't care just keep away, how can I give hope to you
Nearer now are both our futures, me, our hearts and you

And yet all I want is to lose myself and stay so close to you
All I want is to stay so close to you

Come Get Me Angel

Come Get Me Angel

This one's going out to you girl, wherever you may be
I may not be the way you wanted it, I got a need to be free
Yet I know that I need someone and I'm calling out to you
Come get me girl, come get me baby,
I need you, I need you in my life

Whatever it takes to change girl, maybe I'll do it for you
If you can go as deep as I go, baby I'm gonna need you
I want you to be my girl, I want you to be my world
Not any night, not always in my life, I need you

I want you to be my girl, I want you to be my world
Not any night not always, but when it's right for you and me
Alright when it's alright, hey in my life

She'll be there and don't you worry
Keep looking and just keep cooking

Come To My Aid

Come To My Aid

Come to my aid, you're sweet as everything
Come to my aid, I'd give you anything
I feel so betrayed by a people I love
Come to my aid, it's you I'm thinking of

Prouder than wild, sad enough to sing
Come to my aid and care for social living

[Chorus:]
Why are we liable to die for survival
Why is our nation divided?
Come to my aid [repeat]

In the poverty stakes see just what it means
When welfare decimates you'd better care
About your fellow people

[Chorus:]
Why are we liable to die for survival
Why is our nation divided?
Come to my aid [repeat]

Come on board!

Enough

Enough

Alright, you're right
Let's talk it over now
Talk it over now
I'm wrong, you're gone
So you're serious
Really serious
You're saying I'm insane
Oh that craziness
Craziness
I'm trying to find
Its real meaning
Insanity

When I get home again
Everything we said
It seemed to holds us
Back again, again
When I get home then
We try to make it better
In the same
Damn way again, again

So long, you're gone
You're really leaving me, leaving
There's no prize for goodbyes
No joy either, either
You're saying I'm insane
Oh that's craziness
Craziness
I'm trying to find
Its real meaning
Insanity

When I get home again
Everything we said
It seemed to hold us
Back again, again
When I get home then
We try to make it better
In the same
Damn way again, again

Enough
I've had enough
Oh I'm leaving

Fairground

Fairground

Driving down an endless road
Taking friends or moving alone
Pleasure at the fairground on the way

It's always friends that feel so good
Let's make amends like all good men should
Pleasure at the fairground on the way

Walk around, be free and roam
There's always someone leaving alone
Pleasure at the fairground on the way

And I love the thought of coming home to you
Even if I know we can't make it
I love the thought of giving hope to you
Just a little ray of light shining through

Love can bend and breathe alone
Until the end it finds you a home
Don't care what the people may say

It's always friends that feel so good
Let's make amends like all good men should
Pleasure at the fairground on the way

And I love the thought of coming home to you
Even if I know we can't make it
I love the thought of giving hope to you
Just a little ray of light shining through
