"Sunshine"

"Sunshine"


For many years I thought like a man
Feeling his way through darkness
This priceless treasure for which I've searched
Appeared to me nothing more than a mirage in the sea

But when the vision faded
From this struggle and dream
Suddenly my illusion was staring
I now discovered was reality

Sunshine, Sunshine, Sunshine, I've found you
Even if you're only, even if you're only
Even if you're only just in for a while
Sunshine, Sunshine, Sunshine, I've found you
Even if you're only destined for a while

I devote most depressions
And I write this with a smile
As the picture book shows Stanley
Standing at the source of the Nile

But when the vision faded
From this struggle and dream
Suddenly my illusion was staring
I now discovered was reality

Sunshine, Sunshine, Sunshine, I've found you
Even if you're only just in for a while
Sunshine, Sunshine, Sunshine, I've found you
Even if you're only destined for a while
[repeat to end]

"Sweet Freedom"

"Sweet Freedom"


As you look around you, do you like what you see?
Though it sometimes makes you lonely, do you like being free?
And are you sure you'll be okay without my company?
I just want you to be happy, even if it's not with me

Sweet, sweet freedom
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Will the line between all this
And my love ever meet
Sweet, sweet freedom
Sweet, sweet, sweet

What I'm really tryin' to say is that I will be around
Should you find that after all you can't get by with what you found
Oh it wasn't just my heart you took and gently tossed into the sea
Though it's hard to find the words I need
I guess it was me - oh I guess it was me oh

Sweet, sweet freedom
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Will the line between all this
And my love ever meet
Sweet, sweet freedom
Sweet, sweet, sweet

Sweet, sweet freedom
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Will the line between all this
And my love ever gonna meet
Sweet, sweet freedom
Sweet, sweet, sweet

Sweet (so sweet) sweet (oh sweet, sweet, sweet) freedom
Sweet (so sweet) sweet (so so) sweet
Sweet (oh sweet) sweet (oh sweet, sweet, sweet) freedom
Sweet (so sweet) sweet (so sweet so) sweet

"Sweet Lorraine"

"Sweet Lorraine"


Would you like to take this magic potion with me
On a trip to a cosmic playground far beyond
She understands, she's been before
It's in her hands to find the door

Sweet Lorraine let the party carry on
You and I will swim the sea
Sweet Lorraine let the party carry on
You and I can feel the breeze

There is no time, no wealth only I surround you
The fortune of this guide is simply sincerity
She understands 'cause she's been before
It's in her hands to find the door so

Sweet Lorraine let the party carry on
You and I will swim the sea
Sweet Lorraine let the party carry on
You and I can feel the breeze

Sweet Lorraine let the party carry on
You and I will swim the sea
Sweet Lorraine let the party carry on
You and I can feel the breeze

Sweet Lorraine let the party carry on
You and I will swim the sea
Sweet Lorraine let the party carry on
You and I can feel the breeze

Sweet Lorraine
Sweet Lorraine

"Sweet Pretender"

"Sweet Pretender"


I didn't see you standing there
You took me by surprise
In your long silk dress
And those deep brown eyes
I was captured by your smile
But when fate put out its hand
You're walking to your love
How was I to resist
The passion and the kiss
We raised the future alone

She stole my body and soul
With a heart next to mine
I didn't wanna face the day
But I have no choice when we kiss

She said
Goodnight my sweet pretender
Tonight we live forever
One heart, one soul
On the edge of the world
Goodnight my sweet pretender
Feels like we died together
In each others arms
On the edge of the world

When she touched me so warm
And so was her body
A kiss she gave to me
The name she said to pain and pleasure
Time my soul rescue me
But I know I'd be here on my own
As soon as the sun would rise
I didn't wanna face the day
But I have no choice when we kiss

I've dreamed of a place I know
With the shadows of my past
Still remain
You're buried in the midst of time
For always you'll be the sun that shines
Shines on me

"Sweet Sugar"

"Sweet Sugar"


I've no time for boring things
There's no religion that will make my heart sing, no
They call my up say hey come on down
We've got credit salvation all over town

And I can see it everywhere I go
And I can hear it on my radio
They keep telling me it's alright
But there's one thing I don't need tonight

Is their sweet sugar, poison wine
I don't need these things to make me feel fine
Sweet sugar, poison wine
Just need your love girl every time

We don't need these pointless things
We just need to mend our broken wings
Take a look and look what's going down
We gotta stop before we hit the ground

Yeah we can have it don't you know
Take part in their TV show
They'll keep telling us it's alright
But there's one thing I don't need tonight

Is their sweet sugar, poison wine
I don't need these things to make me feel fine
Sweet sugar, poison wine
Just need your love girl every time

You can't fool me it's a waste of time
You're selling tears down the credit card line yeah
But giving up is not their frame of mine
They'll find a way to bring us in time
Yeah I can meet you everywhere I go
And I can hear you on my radio
You keep on telling me it's alright
But there's one thing I don't need tonight

It's your sweet sugar, poison wine
I don't need these things to make me feel fine
Sweet sugar, poison wine
I just need your love every time
Sweet sugar, poison wine
I don't need these things to make me feel fine
Sweet sugar, poison wine
Just gimme your love girl, gimme your love, gimme your love
Sweet sugar, poison wine
I need your love girl yeah all the time
Sweet sugar, poison wine
I just need you girl every time

"Sweet Talk"

"Sweet Talk"


I see your face in
The magazine stand
I wanna hold you in the palm
Of my hands
I love everything about you
You're such a long way away

Your sweet talk
Ain't enough for me
I may be deaf, but you're
Too blind to see

You're gonna break my bones
With your feminine tongues
I don't wanna hear
Your sweet talk tonight
Not again tonight
When I call tonight
Don't wanna hear your
Sweet talk tonight

I hear your voice on the radio
It's got so bad I don't know
Which way to go
Why don't you wake up girl
You're such a long way away

Your sweet talk ain't enough, you see
I need a woman

"Sympathy"

"Sympathy"


Sympathy just doesn't mean that much to me
Compassion is now compassion in my mind
And if you're looking for a shoulder to cry on
Don't turn your head my way
'Cause I'd rather have my music in a day

You and I are master of our destiny
We look for consolation all the time
Till we find out things are not what they were meant to be oh no
And if it doesn't suit our mood we'll call it crime

Dedication is not an obligation
All I think about someone's imagination
It's the only way to say to live from day to day
To make each passing way a smile succession

Dreams are the possession of the simple man
Reality the fantasy of youth
When living is a problem that is common to us all
We love the only common road to truth

"T-Bird Angel"

"T-Bird Angel"


She’s got me going crazy
Right over the speed of sound
And I swear if she knew what she can do
This thing would leave the ground

She’s got a streamline body
Shines like pearls in a rich man’s eyes
She’s there on the list of desire
Won’t you let me take my prize

I gotta have this T Bird Angel, so we can fly
I gotta have this T Bird Angel, and drive all night and day

She’s a two door diva
Yeah, just what I’m looking for
And lost in this moment of madness
It only makes me want you more

I gotta have this T Bird Angel, so we can fly
I gotta have this T Bird Angel, and drive all night and day

She’s my one temptation
There with her headlights on
She’s never too much to handle
On the road where she belongs

We’re burnin’ out the highway
Me with my foot to the floor
No wonder everybody goes crazy
Gotta drive this T-Bird more

I gotta have this T Bird Angel, so we can fly
I gotta have this T Bird Angel, and drive all night and day

"Tales"

"Tales"


We told our tales as we sat under
Morning's sleepy sky
With all the colours of the sunrise
Shining in our eyes.

One, then another, with a story of yesterday's lives
Or of a lover who had gone in a
Moment of strife.

No thought of sleep ever dwells upon
The wise man's mind
Some task or audience stealing every
Moment of his time.

Thus we have learned to live
While mortal men stand waiting to die.
How can we do what must be done in
Just one short life.

And if you ask, then you must know.
If you still doubt, you should be told.
It was not we that made it so.
It was by those who went before.

And there you sit, tomorrow's child
So full of love, so full of life
But you must rise to meet the day
Lest you become another tale

And there you sit, tomorrow's child
So full of love, so full of life
But you must rise to meet the day
Lest you become another tale

Another tale, another tale
Another tale

"Tears In My Eyes"

"Tears In My Eyes"


I thought no one could keep us from sharing the rest of our lives
Like a fool I believed you were true and had no disguise
There's a clear blue sky outside
And the summer is fine
But with tears in my eyes I'm
No longer pretending you're mine

It's the same weary story of a woman abusing her man
So I have to forget your though I'm not even sure if I can
There's a clear blue sky outside
And the summer is fine
But with tears in my eyes I'm
No longer pretending you're mine

It's the same ugly story of a woman abusing her man
So I have to forget your though I'm not even sure if I can
There's a clear blue sky outside
And the summer is fine
But with tears in my eyes I'm
No longer pretending you're mine
