"In My Chair"

"In My Chair"


I saw her talking now
My ears were burning
My feet started walking now
They started turning

My eyes were half open
But she didn't see me there
We ran along walking
'Cross the roof-tops in my chair

Had a car in my pocket
And we started moving
A man in a helmet said
"What's that you're using?"

My eyes were half open
But we didn't see him there
Put the car back in my pocket
And I'm still here in my chair

My teeth were laughing now
We couldn't stop smiling
We danced to the 'Mystery Band'
Without even trying

My eyes were half open
But we didn't see them there
We ran along walking
'Cross the roof-tops in my chair.

"In The Army Now"

"In The Army Now"


A vacation in a foreign land, Uncle Sam does the best he can
You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now

Now you remember what the draft man said, nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now

You'll be the hero of the neighbourhood, nobody knows that you've left for good
You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now

Smiling faces as you wait to land, but once you get there no-one gives a damn
You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now

Hand grenades flying over your head

Missiles flying over your head, if you want to survive get out of bed
You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now

Shots ring out in the dead of night, the sergeant calls 'Stand up and fight!'
You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now

You've got your orders better shoot on sight, your finger's on the trigger but it don't seem right
You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now

Night is falling and you just can't see, is this illusion or reality?
You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army, in the army now
You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now

Oh-oo-oh you're in the army, in the army now
Oh-oo-oh you're in the army, in the army now
Oh-oo-oh you're in the army, in the army now

"In The Army Now (2010)"


A vacation in the foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army - now

Now you remember what the draft man said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army - now

You'll be a hero of the neighbourhood
Nobody knows that you left for good
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army - now

Smiling faces on the way to 'Nam
But once you get there no one gives a damn
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army - now

Shots ring out in the dead of night
The sergeant calls : "Stand up and fight!"
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army - now

You've got your orders to shoot on sight
your finger's on the trigger but it don't seem right
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army - now

Night is falling and you just can't see
Is this illusion or reality
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army - now

"In Your Eyes"

"In Your Eyes"


Doesn't she look so well
With her long black hair and [?] she can tell
Doesn't she know so well
She can cast a spell with that look of heaven
In her eyes, in her eyes
In your eyes, your eyes

Now I can't get to sleep
I dream and dream all the day through
Doesn't seem to matter though
Doesn't seem to worry me
I can't get to sleep
I dream and dream, honest I do
Honest I do, dream of you

Couln't we be away
On a different day could be so unusual
Couldn't we try to be
What the others say, what they think they see there
In your eyes, in your eyes
In your eyes, your eyes

Now I have been a fool
I've been in love, haven't we all
Everybody does it though
Every time we keep going back again
I've made that mistake
I dream and dream honest I do
Honest I do dream of you

Wouldn't it feel the same
Is it just a game that we play from time to time
Wouldn't I feel so good
If I understood what I see is written there
In your eyes, in your eyes
In your eyes, your eyes

Now when towards the end
I'm feeling blue and everything's wrong
Doesn't matter at the time
Doesn't matter this time anyway
I can't get to sleep
I dream and dream, honest I do
Honest I do dream, oh I can't get to sleep
I dream and dream, honest I do
Honest I do dream of you

"Invitation"

"Invitation"


I got an invitation from a girl I used to know back home
It was an invitation asking me to telephone
She said, it's getting lonely here
And I've been gone for close a year
I took the first flight out to meet the girl I used to know back home

She met me off the flight, a million dollars in her long red gown
With a man in a black hat just to drive us back to town
Now the faces all look the same
And all the places have the same old names
But in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home
Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home

Maybe it's true that I go on and on and on
Maybe it's true that I'm the lonely one alone
What can I say to you, what can I say to you?
Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home

It took another year before I started getting itchy toes

And then I had to leave, but that's the way the story goes
Well I reckon if she'd made me stay
I'd never live to see another day
I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home

Maybe it's true that I go on and on and on
Maybe it's true that I'm the lonely one alone
What can I say to you, what can I say to you?
I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home
Back home, I left the girl back home
I left the girl back home
I left the girl back home

"Is It Really Me? / Gotta Go Home"

"Is It Really Me? / Gotta Go Home"


Baby, the feeling that you give to me
Maybe I'm thinking your so good to me
Is it really, really me?
Is it really, really me?

Baby, the feeling, I can't stand the joy
Spare me some feeling if I wake up a boy
Is it really, really me?
Is it really, really me?

Baby, I'm feeling like a fire, I am
Am I still teething or could I be a man?
Is it? Is it?
Is it really, really me?
Is it really, really me?

I gotta get along 'cos it's a long, long ride now
I've been away too long, I gotta get on home now
I'm getting far too old to know my dream of fortune
But the time is flowing now, I know what I must do

I gotta go home, I gotta go home
I gotta go home to ease my mind
I gotta go home, I gotta go home
I gotta go home to ease my mind

I gotta get along 'cos it's a long, long ride now
I've been away too long, I gotta get on home now
I'm getting far too old to know my dream of fortune
But the time is flowing now, I know what I must do

I gotta go home, I gotta go home
I gotta go home to ease my mind
I gotta go home, I gotta go home
I gotta go home to ease my mind

"Is There A Better Way"

"Is There A Better Way"


Is there a better way? Is there a better way?
Is there a better way ahead or just another day?
There's got to be a way to make a better day
I'm gonna find away to make a better day
You're never gonna be the one to hold me down
You're never gonna be the one to hold me down
There never was a better way with you around

No matter what I do, do what you got to do
But do it now because the time is running out on you
You've got to find a way to make a better day
You've got to live and learn to fight another day
I'm never gonna be the one who put you down
I'm never gonna be the one who put you down
You never know there may be someone in the crowd
There may be someone in the crowd

Is there a better way? Is there a better way?
Is there a better way ahead or just another day?
Maybe you'll never know a better way to go
I've got a feeling you don't really want to know
I'll never let you be the one to hold me down
I'll never let you be the one to hold me down
There never was a better way with you around
There never was a better way

I'll never let you be the one to hold me down
I'll never let you be the one to hold me down
There never was a better way with you around
There never was a better way

"It's All About You"

"It's All About You"


I'm standing in a crowd on a one way street
see me howling at the moon
I can't decide to park or ride
I never know what the hell to do

Can't be going slow, better make a move
I better show I'm in, no time to lose
Woah, it looks like nothing I can do

And I remember what you said
back in December, it messed my head
and every day, in every way
it's all about you

I've been in a strange place for someone new
it doesn't make me feel so good
I can't hide the hurt inside
I never knew it could be this way

I musn't let it show, keep it to myself
No-one really cares I'm with someone else
Woah, it looks like nothing I can do

And I remember what you said
back in December, it messed my head
and every day, in every way
it's all about you

I musn't let it show, keep it to myself
No-one really cares I'm with someone else
Woah, it looks like nothing I can do

And I remember what you said
back in December, it messed my head
and every day, in every way
Oh I remember when we met
and we surrender, we soon forget
and every day, in every way
it's all about you

"It's Christmas Time"

"It's Christmas Time"


Another year's gone rock and rollin' by
Oh how time flies
It's funny but it seems like yesterday
I put the tinsel away

It's a time we can all look forward to
I like to feel the festive spirit don't you
When you switch on your lights and say

It's Christmas time, it's Christmas time
Stand up stand up and raise a glass of wine
And you let yourself go underneath the mistletoe
Well it's Christmas time
It's Christmas time
Wake up wake up and find the snow outside
And your presents will be underneath the Christmas tree with me

Do you wanna hear the sleigh bells in the sun
It's not much fun try and build yourself a snowman
By the sea well it ain't gonna be

I'll be roasting chestnuts by the fire
Write a note with all my heart's desire
And let it burn all the way to Santa

It's Christmas time, it's Christmas time
Stand up stand up and raise a glass of wine
And you let yourself go underneath the mistletoe
It's Christmas time, it's Christmas time
Wake up wake up and find the snow outside
And your presents will be underneath the Christmas tree with me

It's a time we can all look forward to
I'd like to feel the festive spirit of you
When you switch on your lights and say

It's Christmas time, it's Christmas time
Stand up stand up and raise a glass of wine
And you let yourself go underneath the mistletoe
It's Christmas time, it's Christmas time
Wake up wake up and see the snow outside
And your presents will be underneath the Christmas tree

Ooh it's Christmas time.

"Jam Side Down"

"Jam Side Down"


What's a boy to do when fate is cruel?
Keep on keepin' on, try to bend the rules
I'll do anything to find a way to your heart
Got a rabbit's foot but luck don't come
Got my fingers crossed but they go numb
I can hold my breath and wish for you
I need a miracle to make it through

Life is hard, I need a remedy
For the way I feel
My bread keeps landing jam side down
Say you'll be there to spread love around

I was sweet on you, that's how I felt
Got a butter heart, you made it melt
Like a big eyed kid in a candy store
I had a little sugar, now I want some more

Life is hard, I need a remedy
For the way I feel
My bread keeps landing jam side down
Say you'll be there to spread love around

My bread keeps landing jam side down
Say you'll be there to spread love around

You are my destiny, you
Bring out the best in me, you
You made me feel so lucky
So lucky to have you
And I need you, yeah I need you

Life is hard, I need a remedy
For the way I feel
My bread keeps landing jam side down
Say you'll be there to spread love around

Life is hard, I need a remedy
For the way I feel
My bread keeps landing jam side down
Say you'll be there to spread love around

My bread keeps landing jam side down
Say you'll be there to spread love around
