UNDERWATER FANTASY
(Gouldman)
Under the water where the seaweed grows
There is a world of fascination
Beneath the waves is where the coral grows
There is a world of jubilation
Below the surface in another world
The fishes tell another story
The wind don't whistle and the rain don't fall
The place is full of morning glory
Ooh gotta be there ooh 'cause it's me there
Ooh gotta be there ooh and I'm free there
Won't you join me under the water
You get a feeling like you're upside down
It's like you're living in a mirror
And so like Alice in the looking glass
What is small and what is bigger
We're goin' down down down
Down in the water
Goin' down down down
Doin' what an otter oughta
Goin' down down down
Down in the water
Goin' down down down down down
Goin' down etc.

AWAY FROM IT ALL
(Gouldman)
Away from it all in another place
Different space with another point of view
Alone together with you
Love is the ruler and beauty is queen
Is it a dream from which I'll never rise
I'll never realise
We're in a world where the darkness never falls
In a place where all worries disappear
And even if it can't go on forever
We'll make the most of what is here
Away from it all in another time
Peace of mind there's nothin' I'd rather do
Than be alone together with you
And even if it can't go on forever
We'll make the most of what is here
Nobody sees us and nobody stares
No one is looking and nobody cares what we do
Alone together with you
Away from it all, away from it all
Away from it all, away from it all

BORN TO LOSE
(Gouldman)
He was born in a very bad part of town
Where the sun never shone
And the people went round
With their heads hung low
There was no work to do nowhere to go
And so he was born to lose
Well he got up one morning and he switched on his TV
There was a whole lot of people
One big happy family
And he knew that's the place he had to be
So he got himself up
He brushed himself down
He read some books and he oiled his brain
He started to work and started to train
And he knew he'd never be the same again
No more were you born to lose
Hey boy what you gonna do
When there ain't no future here for you
You gotta pick yourself up and pull yourself out
'Cause you know you were born to lose
Now he takes his place as one of the family
All together different colours and lookin' so fine
In the same place and at the same time
'Cause he pulled himself up
And got himself out
He read some books and he oiled his brain
He started to work and started to train
And he knew he'd never be the same again
No more you were born to lose
Chorus

LOVE'S NOT FOR ME (Rene's Song)
(Gouldman)
I've always run away
From things that tie me down
My life I love
But love's not for me
I see my goal ahead
With nothing in the way
If love should come
Then I'll run away
I've always been the type of man
Who's dedicated to his cause
And it's a lonely road I run
But I'll stay faithful to my course
There's only one direction
There comes a time when you must choose
About the path you're gonna take
And you must take it win or lose
And if you lose it's your mistake
There's only one direction
So when the race is won
And there's nothing left to do
Alone again but where are you
Alone again but where are you

WITH YOU I CAN RUN FOREVER
(Gouldman)
With you I can run forever
With you I can run forever
'Cause you gotta be my inspiration
Side by side through every nation
We ride the world just like a roller coaster
As we take each road and we take each turn
You bowl me over
'Cause you gotta be my inspiration
Together we can run forever
Through all the seasons we'll keep goin' on
Through the wind and rain and the morning dew
It doesn't matter baby where we are
With you I can run forever
With you I can run forever
We see the bright lights of the city
The colours change they re-arrange themselves
In different patterns
But it's too crowded in the city
And so we leave it all behind
Go on to other places
With you I can run forever
With you I can run forever
There's nothing we can't win together
With you I can run forever
With you I can run forever
