"When The Mind Is Not Live"

"When The Mind Is Not Live"


When my mind is not live I see you there before me
Every night in my mind your face flies by me
Then the morning light comes to bring reality
But my dream lingers on a little while for me

Then I wake to see a world full of misery
Lots of people rushing by, never know what they wanna be

Soon the day draws to it's end and pretty soon I'll be
Back with you in my mind because I want to see

When my mind is not live I see you there before me
Every night in my mind your face flies by me

"When You Walk In The Room"

"When You Walk In The Room"


I can feel a new expression on my face
I can feel a glowing sensation taking place
I can hear the guitars playing lovely tunes
Every time that you walk in the room

I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you want
Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant
I feel the summer's night with a magic moon
Every time that you walk in the room

Baby it's a dream come true
Standing right alongside of you
Wish I could show you how much I care
But I only have the nerve to stare

I can feel there's something pounding in my brain
Just anytime that someone speaks your name
Trumpets sound and I hear thunder boom
Every time that you
Every time that you
Every time that you walk in the room
Walk in the room
Walk in the room
Walk in the room

"Where I Am"

"Where I Am"


Let me know, let me see
What is this thing that is constantly happening to me, yeah
'Cos when you hold me tight, oh how it feels so right
Yeah and I know where I am

If I should cry, let me cry
My tears are crying a lullaby
'Cos when I hold you tight, oh how it feels so right
Yeah and I know where I am

Changes in me, learning to be
Everything that I just silently wanted to see
'Cos when I'm all alone, everything that I own
Lets me know where I am
Give to me what you can
I'll give you all I command

"Who Am I?"

"Who Am I?"


Am I to you a lover or a brother?
Am I the one you can rely upon?
Am I the one you can take home to your mother
And am I the one who is singing you this song?
Who am I? Who am I?
Who am I to you?

Am I the one who lies here in your bed?
Am I the one you made to dry out?
And am I the one who yesterday said
Am I the one you'd be better off without?
Who am I? Who am I?
Who am I to you?

Am I the chain that keeps you from falling?
Am I the thoughts going round in your head?
Am I the night-time? Am I the morning?
Am I a fool that you wish for dead?

Yes I am your lover and your brother
I am the one who lies here in your bed
I am the one who never did you wrong
I am the fool that you wish were dead
Who am I? Who am I?
Who am I to you?

"Who Asked You"

"Who Asked You"


There you go again
Telling me the same mistakes I made
There you go again
Telling me the way I should have played
Your silver tongue can talk away
And tell me all I should have done
But you allways be the same
'til the very last time has come

Seventeen years
And it ain't no worth giving a try you said
But I wouldn't be living
If any year was never spent
So when I see you up in arms
I wonder where your time has gone
Are you throwing it away
'til the every last time has come

Who asked you
To prey on my feelings
Lying low in every cloud
Who asked you
I've never been the one
To give you any kind of reason
Who asked you

Who asked you
When I was still learning
To come along and put me down
Who asked you
I made it anyway
While every cloud was slowly turning
Who asked you
Who asked you

There you go again
Telling me the same mistakes I made
There you go again
Telling me the way I should have played
There never was a better way
Than living like the way I've done
Oh, and living is the game
'til the very last time has come
But you'll always be the same
'til the very last time has come
You're throwing it away
'til the very last time has come

Who asked you

"Who Gets The Love"

"Who Gets The Love"


I've spent a lifetime running after you
But listen woman, everything must change
It's time you found yourself some other fool you can blame
You had me figured as the spineless one
Who'd be there waiting when you'd had your fun
But now's the time I feel I should be cool
What a shame, what a shame

Who gets the love that we no longer share?
Who gets to hold you close when I'm not there?
Whose heart is filling up, I'm asking you
Who gets the love?

So many times you said I made you cry
That's not the truth it's just an alibi
And I'm not planning to be number two, won't play your game.
I've often wondered after love has gone
Where do we find the strength to carry on?
And where's that someone that our love supplies
And what's their name? What a shame.

Who gets the love that we no longer share?
Who gets to hold you close when I'm not there?
Whose heart is filling up, I'm asking you
Who gets the love?

Before we give in are we really sure
We're giving love that we don't need no more?
There ain't a chance that we might get together again, oh no

Who gets the love that we no longer share?
Who gets to hold you close when I'm not there?
Whose heart is filling up, I'm asking you
Who gets the love?

Who gets the love that we no longer share?
Who gets to hold you close when I'm not there?
Whose heart is filling up, I'm asking you
Who gets the love?

"Wild Side Of Life"

"Wild Side Of Life"


Well you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you
You asked me not to call you on the phone
Well there's something I've been waiting for to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of a song

Now the glamour of the gay night-life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
Well you went to be somebody else's baby
And forget the truest love you've ever known

I never knew there were honky-tonk angels
Oh I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one who ever loved you
And went back to that wild side of life

Now the glamour of the gay night-life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
Well you went to be somebody else's baby
And forget the truest love you've ever known

I never knew there were honky-tonk angels
Oh I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one who ever loved you
And went back to that wild side of life

I never knew there were honky-tonk angels
Oh I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one who ever loved you
And went back to that wild side of life

"Win Or Lose"

"Win Or Lose"


Win or lose, lose or win
I ain't never doing that again
Keeping out and never creeping in
No I ain't never doing that again
I know I've done some silly things
But I ain't never doing that again
No I ain't never doing that again

Sailed away to foreign place, not so far or hard to trace
I didn't want to know, knowing I had to go
Left my place of residence down the drive and past the fence
I'm coming back again, wish I could tell you when
I've never been away so long before
Surely now I must be sure

Win or lose, lose or win
I ain't never doing that again
Keeping out and never creeping in
No I ain't never doing that again
I know I've done some silly things
But I ain't never doing that again
No I ain't never doing that again

Got to one place, really fine, getting there took quite a time
A little trouble there, it didn't seem very fair
Tried to go we had a fight, so they made us stay the night
And it was harassing, very embarrassing
That's another place that I have seen
A place I wish I hadn't been

Win or lose, lose or win
I ain't never doing that again
Keeping out and never creeping in
No I ain't never doing that again
I know I've done some silly things
But I ain't never doing that again
No I ain't never doing that again
I ain't never doing that again
No I ain't never doing that again

"You Don't Own Me"

"You Don't Own Me"


You don't own me, don't hang around
You don't own me no more
Oh, you don't own me, don't hang around honey
You don't own me no more

You made your bed an now you're trying to hide it
You made a bed of nails
Although you pinned me down I never tried to fight it
You had me on the rails
And now your snakeskin colours are flying
You're trying to hide your poison disguise
So wipe the crocodile tears that are falling
They only make me realise

You don't own me, don't hang around
You don't own me no more
Oh, you don't own me, don't hang around honey
You don't own me no more

I can read the lines, the lines your face is showing
They say your time has come
And every single line your evil heart is scheming
Ain't gonna fool no-one
I'm gonna turn my back on the wild side
And take my rainfall way to the sun
Across the plains of a new horizon
Don't say goodbye, I'm already gone
And in the dreams of your fantasy love world (?)
You tore the hole right out of your life
And got a one-way ticket to nowhere
And now at last I realise

You don't own me, don't hang around
You don't own me no more
Oh, you don't own me, don't hang around honey
You don't own me no more
You don't own me, don't hang around
You don't own me no more
Oh, you don't own me, don't hang around honey
You don't own me no more
Oh, you don't own me, don't hang around
You don't own me no more
Oh, you don't own me, don't hang around honey
You don't own me no more
Oh, you don't own me no more....
