"One Man Band"

"One Man Band"


When I'm talkin' nothing's getting through
When I'm screamin' it's never clear to you
Can you hear me? Am I wasting my time?
Am I working in a one man band?

When I'm looking straight in your eyes
Is there anyone home? You're telling me lies
Listen to me, are you wasting my time?
It's lonely in a one man band
It's lonely in a one man band

Words out of line don't ever hurt you
Forever cryin', trying to turn you around

Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh

Anticipating what you're gonna do
Still I'm waiting for a sign from you
Come together, am I wasting my time?
And I'll always be a one man band
I'll always be a one man band
It's lonely in a one man band

Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh

"Over And Done"

"Over And Done"


I really didn't wanna break it, you know I'm sorry its over and done
I really thought we would have made it but now its gone
Can you look into my eyes and tell me that there's nothing wrong
I know you know it's not the same, it's not the same old song
It's over and over and over, I told you it's over and done

None of us are getting younger and we all want to be a millionaire
And when you stop to think about it, it seems unfair
But if you never stop to think at all you'd never be aware
And never understand the meaning of the love we share
It's over and over, I told you it's over, it's only fair
Oh it's over and over, I told you it's over and done

It's no good trying to make it better, you know it doesn't feel right to do
Everything we shared together would break in two
Can you hear what I've been trying to say? I wouldn't do you wrong
We've got to get it over now and learn to carry on
It's over and over and over, I told you it's over and done
It's over and over and over, I told you it's over and done
Oh it's over and over, I told you it's over and done

"Over The Edge"

"Over The Edge"


I'm shaking all over
From my head to my feet
I thought I was cold but
I've been really feeling the heat
You're turning me on
You're driving me crazy

My temperature's rising
When I'm talking to you
It wouldn't surprise me
If you told me a hundred and two
What's going on?
You're driving me crazy

And I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling
Yeah I'm falling, Im falling' I'm falling
I've never felt like it before
Surely it's against the law
What's going on?
What's going on?
What's going on?
You're driving me crazy

You gave me the fever
And the fever is hot
Taking me higher and higher
Right to the top
Don't let it stop
You're driving me crazy

You gotta believe me
'cos I never pretend
You're doing it now
So do it again
And again
Turning me on
Driving me crazy

And I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling
Yeah I'm falling, Im falling' I'm falling
And like I said before
Surely it's against the law
What's going on?
What's going on?
What's going on?
You're driving me crazy

Over the edge, I'm falling
Over the edge, I'm falling

Never felt like it before
Surely it's against the law
What's going on?
What's going on?
You're driving me crazy
You're driving me crazy
You're driving me crazy
You're driving me crazy
You're driving me crazy

I'm shaking all over
From my head to my feet
I thought I was cold but
I'm a-feeling the heat
My temperature's rising
When I'm talking to you
It wouldn't surprise me
It's a-hundred-and-two
You gave me the fever
And the fever is hot
It's taking me higher
Right to the top
You gotta believe me
'cos I never pretend
You're doing it now
So do it again

I'm shaking all over
From my head to my feet
I'm shaking all over
I'm shaking all over
I'm shaking all over
From my head to my feet
I'm shaking all over
I'm shaking all over
I'm shaking all over
From my head to my feet
I'm shaking all over
Shaking all over

"Overdose"

"Overdose"


Hear me, I'm calling
I can't believe it's happening again
Help me, I'm falling
Making the same mistakes again

Hold me, just hold me
You told me what was right and what was wrong
And I can't stand the feeling
I never found the words to the song
If I hold myself together
The pain won't last forever

I've had an overdose, I've had an overdose of life
I've had an overdose, I've had an overdose of life
I've had an overdose, I've had an overload of life
I can't take anymore

It's too late to change the way you're feeling
About leaving me
It's so sad this is the way it has to be
But now I see
I gotta hold myself together
The pain won't last forever

I've had an overdose, I've had an overdose of life
I've had an overdose, I've had an overdose of life
I've had an overdose, I've had an overload of life
I've had an overdose, I've had an overload of life

Because I love you, love you, love you, love you, love you
I wanna tell you, wann tell you, wanna tell you I love you
I can't take anymore, oh no
And it's so sad that you're leaving
It's over now
I can't take anymore

"Paper Plane"

"Paper Plane"


Riding on a big white butterfly
I turned my back away towards the sky
I closed my eyes to look for something
Saw myself as really nothing
Then I realised my butterfly
Wasn't really up there with me
We all make mistakes, forgive me
Would you like to ride my butterfly

Riding on a long blue paperplane
Getting seasick, sorry once again
Landing strip is getting nearer
Hope the foglifts, make it clearer
Then I realised my paperplane
Wasn't really up there with me
We all make mistakes, forgive me
Would you like to ride my paperplane

Riding in a three grand Deutche car
A to B is often very far
Home is near, but such a long way
Legs and heads all feel the wrong way
Then I realised my Deutche car
Is only there to get me somewhere
Even so I really do care
Would you like to ride my Deutche car

"Paradise Flats"

"Paradise Flats"


She was sold at the paradise flats
Tell me, what d'you think of that?
No goodbye, just a pat on the back

Well I know she's made her mind up
That she don't need me around
I'm trying just to see what you're trying to do to me
Your trying to screw me down
Right through the ground oh yeah

In paradise flats there's rooms for hire,
No-one cares who you are
You won't come back, it's too late now
You've been seen too much
I know what you are
You won't come back, no you won't come back

Well I know she's made her mind up
That she don't need me around
Oh I'm trying just to see what you're trying to do to me
Your trying to screw me down
Right through the ground oh yeah

"Pennsylvania Blues Tonight"

"Pennsylvania Blues Tonight"


Take me to another place, a place that I can go
Where nobody looks the same and everybody's slow
Nothing seems to matter, yet somebody seems to care
Even though it's clearer now, there's something in the air
Oh, oh, what can I say?
Oh, oh, what can I say?

Taken lots of sweety things and looked towards the sky
Laughed until the morning came, just me, my friend and I
Teacher seems to pass us by and only is it then
We can stop and listen and I know we'll be there when
Oh, oh, what can I say?
Oh, oh, what can I say?

Funny money in paradise
Under cover is very nice
Maybe baby it seems alright
Jeffrey Lynne and George H tonight
Double vision and out of sight
Pennsylvania Blues tonight
Pennsylvania Blues alright

Thinking ‘bout a miracle a free and easy way
Seven lonely travellers all bring it into play
Nothing seems to matter and nobody seems to care
Even though it's clearer now, there's something in the air
Oh, oh, what can I say?
Oh, oh, what can I say?

Funny money in paradise
Under cover is very nice
Maybe baby it seems alright
Jeffrey Lynne and George H tonight
Double vision and out of sight
Pennsylvania Blues tonight
Pennsylvania Blues alright

It doesn't mean a thing
Not anything at all
It's something good to sing
Pennsylvania Blues tonight
Pennsylvania Blues alright

"Perfect Remedy"

"Perfect Remedy"


I thought that you would leave my memory
I didn't think you'd stay in mind, I didn't think at all
At least I thought that with some misery
I'd find a way to have it all, and with or without you

But it's all right, this or any way
It's all right, which any other way
Any night or any other day
It's all right, put it another way
You do like you do when you do what you do like I do
Day out, day in you're always trying to fight for control

You thought you had the perfect remedy
A perfect remedy for me, a remedy for all
You say at last you tried so pleasantly
To find a way to have it all, or have a drink on me

But it's all right, this or any way
It's all right, which any other way
Any night or any other day
It's all right, put it another way
You do like you do when you do what you do like I do
Day out, day in you're always trying to fight for control

I guess it's just a faded memory
That comes along with certainty, then goes and fades away
But it's all right, this or any way
It's all right, which any other way
Any night or any other day
It's all right

"Pictures Of Matchstick Men"

"Pictures Of Matchstick Men"


When I look up to the skies
I see your eyes a funny kind of yellow
I rush home to bed I soak my head
I see your face underneath my pillow
I wake next morning tired still yawning
See your face come peaking through my window
Pictures of matchstick men and you
Mirages of matchstick men and you
All I ever see is them and you

[guitar intro]

Windows echo your reflection
When I look in their direction gone
When will this haunting stop
Your face it just wont leave me a-lone
Pictures of matchstick men and you
Mirages of matchstick men and you
All I ever see is them and you
You in the sky you with this guy you make men cry you lie
You in the sky you with this guy you make men cry you lie

[guitar intro]

Pictures of matchstick men, Pictures of matchstick...

"Point Of No Return"

"Point Of No Return"


Is it another day? Is there another way?
Nothing at all to say, it's just another day without you
My way without you
Should I be holding back? Should I be holding out?
Should I be keeping quiet when I could scream and shout about you
All out about you
You, you give me everything but love
Shall I hold on? Has it all gone?

This is the way it is, this is the point of no return
We get the messages, still we have everything to learn
Telling it like it is, this is the point of no return

Am I the last to learn? Am I the last to know?
Is it a parting shot? Is it the final blow without you?
To go without you?
You, you give me everything but love
Shall I hold on? Has it all gone?

This is the way it is, this is the point of no return
We get the messages, still we have everything to learn
Telling it like it is, this is the point of no return

Always too long, always too far
Always too strong for me to defend
Is it a fade? Is it an end?

You, you give me everything but love
Shall I hold on? Has it all gone?

This is the way it is, this is the point of no return
We get the messages, still we have everything to learn
Telling it like it is, this is the point of no return

This is the way it is, this is the point of no return
We get the messages, still we have everything to learn
Telling it like it is, this is the point of no return
This is the way it is, the point of no return
The point of no return, the point of no return
The point of no return, the point of no return
The point of no return
