"Tossin And Turnin"

"Tossin And Turnin"


Over and over again
Cheating and lying, she'd been denying the truth again
Change your mind again
I can remember a time when things were better
I couldn't look sadder at all

I used to be told that I did not know
Every time there was trouble I'd run and I'd hide away
I'd always find time or make time to work it out
Because whatever I'd say, it's only my way
My impression of a two sided love affair

Because its always the two sides
The one liners, two timers
Time to start over again

Tossin and turnin', I'm burning, I'm hot
Sleeping and dreaming, I should be, I'm not
Waking and shaking, you're losing my lot

Over and over again
It keeps repeating, who's doing the cheating?
Now who's a fool, Is it me or you?
I can remember a time when things were better
I couldn't look sadder at all

She used to be told that she didn't know
Then be spinning around and around in a hurricane
And all the time thinking why did I do it all?
She sobs, a really strange girl, or rearranged girl
On her own like a tree that's been lost in a hurricane

Because it's always the two sides
The one liners, two timers
Time to start over again

Tossin' and turnin', I'm burning, I'm hot
Sleeping and dreaming, I should be, I'm not
Waking and shaking, you're losing my lot

Over and Over again
Cheating and lying, she'd be denying the truth again
Change your mind again
I can remember a time when things were better
I couldn't look sadder at all

So its clear now, do you understand now?
Everything I've been saying to you 'bout the two of us
Because if you do know and you know to work it out, because
She was pretending, only pretending
Criticising it all without any certainty

Without an ending to both sides
The one, two and three timers
Always start over again

Tossin' and turnin', I'm burning, I'm hot
Sleeping and dreaming, I should be, I'm not
Waking and shaking, you're losing my lot

Tossin' and turnin' I'm burning, I'm hot
Waking and shaking, you're losing my lot
Wishing and hoping, yeah, that's all I've got

"Tune To The Music"

"Tune To The Music"


Excuse me crying
Can't you hear what I'm saying
I guess I'm going
Going on my way.
I know there's something
Something's going wrong now
There's no tune to the music

My eyes are burning
Can't anybody hear me
My head is turning
I need somebody near me
But since you wonder
Everything is so wrong
There's tune to the music

The sounds are ringing
The emptiness is all mine.
Nobody bringing
The thing to make me feel fine
I know there's something
Something's going wrong now
There's no tune to the music
No words to my song

"Twenty Wild Horses"

"Twenty Wild Horses"


How do you do? Tell me how are you?
Have you been well? Give my regards to the world
Hand on my heart, I didn't do what they say
'Cos I would rather be blind or lose my mind completely

Twenty wild horses and five hundred men
They couldn't drag me that far down again
Give me a Colt 45 to my head
So I can say I'd be better off dead
Straight as an arrow I'll make a new start
What can I tell you, it's straight from the heart

I have a dream and it's the same every night
I sleep with you, everything seems to be right
Beyond belief, when I awake and I find
That I am stuck in this place, my back's to the wall completely

Twenty wild horses and five hundred men
They couldn't drag me that far down again
Give me a Colt 45 to my head
So I can say I'd be better off dead
Straight as an arrow I'll make a new start
What can I tell you, it's straight from the heart

So what can I say?
Seems that in here I find everyone is innocent

All I can do is hope and pray for an end
I've had enough, but that don't change anything
Hand on my heart, I didn't do what they say
Now at the end of the line, I'm losing my mind completely

Twenty wild horses and five hundred men
They couldn't drag me that far down again
Give me a Colt 45 to my head
So I can say I'd be better off dead
Straight as an arrow I'll make a new start
What can I tell you, it's straight from the heart
Twenty wild horses and five hundred men
They couldn't drag me that far down again

"Two Way Traffic"

"Two Way Traffic"


Work work fizzy busy bang bang
Twenty-five hours a day
Feels like working on a chain gang
And never seems to get away
Money to burn, money to burn
A black noon call for show
Where does it go, how should I know?

And it's two way traffic
On a one way street
All the voices in the air
Are stuck on repeat
It's a two-horse race
In a one-horse town
Like a house of cards
It's gonna fall down
War plays out
Getting ready to rumble
Survival of the fittest
The law of the jungle
Fold back, hold back
Get yourself a seat
The two way traffic on a one way street

Superman, where are you?
We need you to pave the way
Feels like an alien invasion
Trouble coming everyday
War of the worlds
You get the girl
They really don't
Sound that mad
Fighting the snow
Way to go

And it's two way traffic
On a one way street
All the voices in the air
Are stuck on repeat
It's a two-horse race
In a one-horse town
Like a house of cards
It's gonna fall down
War plays out
Getting ready to rumble
Survival of the fittest
The law of the jungle
Fold back, hold back
Get yourself a seat
The two way traffic on a one way street

And it's two way traffic
On a one way street
All the voices in the air
Are stuck on repeat
It's a two-horse race
In a one-horse town
Like a house of cards
It's gonna fall down
War plays out
Getting ready to rumble
Survival of the fittest
The law of the jungle
Fold back, hold back
Get yourself a seat
The two way traffic on a one way street

Two way traffic
On a one way street
All the voices in the air
Are stuck on repeat
It's a two-horse race
In a one-horse town
Like a house of cards
It's gonna fall down
War plays out
Getting ready to rumble
Survival of the fittest
The law of the jungle
Fold back, hold back
Get yourself a seat
The two way traffic on a one way street
Two way traffic on a one way street
Two way traffic on a one way street
Two way traffic on a one way street
Two way traffic on a one way street

"Umleitung"

"Umleitung"


I don't need you mama, I just need your love
I'm here for loving so take it while I'm good enough
I just need your love

Seems I've waited longer than I've ever done
My mind is getting evil and my body's numb
Woman can I come?
Woman can I come to you?
'Cos I need your love
Yes I need your love

I don't need you mama, I just need your love
I'm here for loving so take it while I'm good enough
I just need your love

Seems I've waited longer than I've ever done
My mind is getting evil and my body's numb
Woman can I come?
Woman can I come to you?
'Cos I need your love
Yes I need your love

"Under The Influence"

"Under The Influence"


On a train to nowhere in another nightmare
In a dream about falling for someone and taking her back to my room
Tangled up in her hair
And believing everything goes and then anything more is allright

On a road to somewhere, where it goes I don't care
But it keeps on winding and winding and winding away
Sitting next to me are
Lovely senoritas, reality way in the back of my mind

I'm under the influence, I find it's all in my mind
And under the influence the blind will lead the blind
Thunder and lightning in my head, but only in bed
I'm under the influence of something from the blue

When I wake a new day, on a better do day
But the dreams keep calling and calling and calling me back
Definitely no no
Need a new amigo to help me get my reality right

I'm under the influence, I find it's all in my mind
And under the influence the blind will lead the blind
Thunder and lightning in my head, but only in bed
I'm under the influence of something from the blue

What the hell will I do? Facing up to tell you
Will I be breaking the ice and falling through?
Definitely no no
Need a new amigo to help me get my reality right

I'm under the influence, I find it's all in my mind
And under the influence the blind will lead the blind
Thunder and lightning in my head, but only in bed
I'm under the influence of something from the blue
I'm under the influence of something from the blue

"Unspoken Words"

"Unspoken Words"


If I could only share with you
Once more the fruits of yesterday
Could I forget unspoken words?
The change in colours of your way

I can still see you standing there
Clutching my hand and begging not to go
Don't hide the tears, I'm crying too
It doesn't matter too much, no

I'll always be with you by your side
Watching over you, feeling every pain
Hold your head high, think of me there
I'll still be with you once again

I'll always be with you by your side
Watching over you, feeling every pain
Hold your head high, think of me there
I'll still be with you once again

"Velvet Curtains"

"Velvet Curtains"


Velvet curtains draw the show to a close
Our scene is over and the whole world knows
Velvet curtains shut the light from my mind
I leave the stage, put my memories behind

How it started with a passing word
How you answered and I liked what I heard
Wasn't long before we fell in love
And we thought we'd never part

Velvet curtains draw the show to a close
Our scene is over and the whole world knows
Velvet curtains shut the light from my mind
I leave the stage, put my memories behind

How I started to depend on you
How you tried to be dependable too
But you found it hard to change your ways
And you merely broke my heart

Pretty soon I knew it had to end
Still I fool myself and try to pretend
But what's the good if there's another guy
And he's playing the leading part?

Velvet curtains draw the show to a close
Our scene is over and the whole world knows
Velvet curtains shut the light from my mind
I leave the stage, put my memories behind

Velvet curtains draw the show to a close
Our scene is over and the whole world knows....

"Velvet Train"

"Velvet Train"


Ride with me honey on the velvet train
Ride with me honey on the velvet train
Ride with me honey on the velvet train
Ride with me honey on the velvet train

I got me a ticket
Packed my case
Put my best suit on
And i washed my face
Short on spending money
But the champagne's complimentary
Now look this ticket's for 2 is there a chance that you would

Ride with me honey on the velvet train
Ride with me honey on the velvet train
Ride with me honey on the velvet train
Ride with me honey on the velvet train

We be leaving when you're ready
If you just say yes
Rolling down the line
Destination happiness

Tell me this and tell me no more
Are you riding with me I got to know for sure
We can rock and roll and save our souls
So before we get too old

Ride with me honey on the velvet train
Ride with me honey on the velvet train
Ride with me honey on the velvet train
Ride with me honey on the velvet train

"Wait A Minute"

"Wait A Minute"


Wait just a minute, that's all you ever say
Wait just a minute, you say it every day

You gotta comb your hair
Find a dress to wear
Before you go anywhere

I say to myself, Why cause a scene?
She's so long, I've read my magazine

You gotta comb your hair
Find a dress to wear
Before you go anywhere

Wait just a minute, that's all you ever say
Wait just a minute, you say it every day

You gotta comb your hair
Find a dress to wear
Before you go anywhere

I say to myself, Why cause a scene?
She's so long, I've read my magazine

You gotta comb your hair
Find a dress to wear
Before you go anywhere
You gotta comb your hair
Find a dress to wear...
