"Flyin' High"

"Flyin' High"


Well I'm flyin' high
And I know the reason why
'Cause the wind of change has blown my way
And you love me as much today
As I love you

I used to think that love was strange
It was something that I used to ease the pain
Though at times it seems it hurts to touch
It's never gonna hurt as much as
No love at all

Flyin' high it's a crazy feelin'
Flyin' high 'cause I've learnt the meaning of love
Flyin' high it's a crazy feelin'
Flyin' high 'cause I believe in love

"Fools"

"Fools"


Fools play at games don't you know that fools play at games
And I know that I'm not afraid of you

I know this feeling inside has just made up my mind
I'm gonna take this chance and do what's in my heart
You always says that you'd stand by me and help me get along
So understand I must do what's in my heart

I know this feeling inside has helped me to carry on
So as the day go by and the nights that never end
You play the clubs and you play the game
The next day you will find
You'll have to try and please that fool again

Day after day I feel this way that I need to be moving on
You know I depend on you but don't get my wrong
I'll throw the dice and play the game and hope we get along
Even then I won't be fooled again

So I've read your words and Ive signed my name
But I can't make up my mind
If you really care or you're playing your games

"Footprints In The Snow"

"Footprints In The Snow"


Just like footprints in the snow
Who knows where my heart will go
Will it lead me to you
Or will I see another empty day

Seasons come and quickly go
Kinda makes me wonder if they know
Why my heart keeps running near and far
If only they could tell me where you are

If you've ever been in love
Then you'll know the rocky road
I've been speaking of
You'll remember when the times were good
And the times you had to do without
Think carefully my friend
It may look like a start but it could be the end

Well, I'm not trying to bring you down
I'm just so tired of hanging around
I won't make the same mistake again

If you've ever been in love
Then you'll know the rocky road
I've been speaking of
You'll remember when the times were good
And the times you had to do without

Think carefully my friend
It may look like a start but it could be the end
Think carefully my friend
It may look like a start but it could be the end
Ooh, think carefully my friend

"Free 'N' Easy"

"Free 'N' Easy"


Ain't it strange that when you're lonely
And your friends they're not around
So you make your big decision
Get your feet back on the ground

When you're down and no one wants you
And you wonder who you are
But your friends they don't desert you
When you make it you're a star

(But I'm gonna stay)
Free and Easy
'Cos I know just what I am
Gonna be Free and Easy

I've been through all the heartaches
And I've been through all the pain
But when you're up and riding high
Everybody stakes their claim

(But I'm gonna be)
Free and Easy
Gonna stay just what I am
Gonna be Free and Easy

"Free Me"

"Free Me"


Why should I worry that you might not love me
You're not the only love I ever had
Your sweet memory will always comfort me
So why should I be feeling sad

Far as I can tell
You knew so well
I was always at the end of the line
I loved you as much as any man can
But not enough to make you mine

So long easy rider I know I'll miss you for awhile
But sooner or later I know that I'll forget you
Free me somebody free me won't you
Free me, free me from your spell

We let a good love die
We let it pass us by
Though you try to keep me hangin' on
But with all this doubt
It'll never work out
So tomorrow I'll be travellin' on

"Ghost Of The Ocean"

"Ghost Of The Ocean"


A ghost of the ocean
Tells of the women of the sea
They ran from oppression
In the forgotten history

No innocents
No leader to defend
No god, no government
And it's hard to believe
They were riders on the sea

Women of fortune
Always to be prepared to die
Blood on the knife edge
Flag of the sea lord flying high

A world of action strong and free
Adventure war and loyalty
The mermaid tyrant loved to fight
She ties the noose and pulls it tight

Treacherous island
Somewhere to hide on no man's land
Ships in the harbour
Waiting to hear the battle plan

"Gimme Love (Struttin')"

"Gimme Love (Struttin')"


Love, love, love - I'm looking for love
Love, love, love

When I was only sixteen
Well, give it take a year or more
I've got to singing about
The life I've lead
And I threw it right out of the door
I've got to get some of
That heavy jive
That the old folks are talkin' about
So I strutted my stuff
To the local club
To see what I was leaving now

Looking for love, love, love
Looking, looking for love
Love, love, love

I took my seat at
The foot of the stage
And waited for the fun to begin
And there in the light
Stood this heavy chick
With the cutest babe
That I've ever seen
She smiled at me
She did her dance
Took me by surprise
The way she wiggled her hips
And she shook that...
Right between the eyes

Looking for love, love, love
L.O.B, I'm looking for love
Love, love, love

After the show she came
And sat down
Said: Hi son, what's your name?
I said: Never mind that
Think about this:
Loving's the name of my game
She said: That's alright
But it'll cost you, son
I said: Tell me what's
The price of the day
She said: Twenty dime
And a wedding ring
And everything will be O.K.

Looking for love, love, love
Looking for... love, love, love,
I'm lookin, lookin' for love
I'm lookin' for love
L.O.B. love, love...
Love, love, love...

"Gypsy"

"Gypsy"


I was only seventeen,
I fell in love with a gypsy queen.
She told me - hold on!

Her father was the leading man,
Said "You're not welcome on our land."
And then as a foe, he told me to go.

He took me to a little shack
And put a whip across my back
Then told her - leave me.

I was out for quite a time,
Came back with her on my mind.
Sweet little girl - she means all the world.

Though I want my gypsy queen,
Will she still be torn between
Her father and lover?

One day I will go to him
Strong enough to fight and win.
The kind of a man that he'll understand

"Heartache City"

"Heartache City"


Hit the city, hit the night
Crazy people, neon light
Hit the club, sip the wine
Just remember to leave on time

Hit the red lights, check the girls
You're steppin' into another world
See the man, he'll spin you a line
But just remember to leave on time

Heartache
City of Heartache City
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache City

Crazy people in Heartache City
City of Heartache City
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache City

It's a city of sin
Heartache
City of Heartache City
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache City

Check the star club, see the stars
See the action in the back street bars
Lookin' for love, you're in the wrong place
Tricks for kicks, can you stand the pace

Heartache
City of Heartache City
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache City

Crazy people in Heartache City
City of Heartache City
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache City

Hit the city, hit the night
Crazy people, neon light
You pay your money, it's no real crime
But just remember to leave on time

Heartache
City of Heartache City
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache City

Crazy people in Heartache City
City of Heartache City
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache City

"Heartless Land"

"Heartless Land"


I know the world is full of light
So why can't things just work out right
Oh take me, take me
From this heartless land
It used to be so full of love
But now it's only push and shove
Oh take me, take me
From this heartless land

Just a breath of new life
Into an empty sky
From deep inside, where love must lie

No need to play the perfect fool
Stand up for love, break the rule
Oh come with me
You know that you can
I see the sky, I see the ground
What's in between must now be found
There is no life
Inside this heartless land

Just a breath of new life
Into an empty sky
Somewhere in your soul
Where love must lie

And I say ... come to the light
Everyday is getting closer
To your sweet surrender
Out of the cold
'Cause I found a way
That we can fly forever
With direction and peace of mind
The river will flow

Come to the light, my love
'Cause I need you here
I need you here tonight

The chains of love they run so deep
But the hand that writes the law is weak
Oh take me, take me
From this heartless land
'Cause it's the place the broken go
The place that we don't want to know
There is no love
Inside this heartless land
