YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU

Well I know a man, he’s as rich as a king, ooh
But when you dim the light in the dead of the night
He ain’t got a thing.
I see a fool here, he don’t have a friend, no

To buy the love he needs, the camaraderie

He’s got a lot to spend. Ooh baby

You can’t take it with you man, you gotta let it go.
I said you can’t take it with you no, no, no, no, no

Well I know a man, he used to strum along, but

No matter how I try, I can’t imagine why
He thinks he wrote the song.
But there’ll come a time, when the road gets tough, yeah
But if you’ve got your friends no matter what you spend
You’ve always got enough. Ooh yeah

You can’t take it with you man, you gotta let it go.
I said you can’t take it with you no, no, no, no, no.

You know I know the truth, it’s so plain to me, ooh
And if you strip away the lies you live each day,
I’m sure you’re gonna see
That here is a fake, but it’s so nicely done,
And as the emperor knows, you need some warmer clothes,
You ain’t got nothing on. Ooh baby

You can’t take it with you man, you’ve gotta let it go.
I said you can’t take it with you no, no, no, no, no.

Well I had a dream, I would have shared with you, ooh
You couldn’t take the truth, you’re living in a spoof,
Don’t wanna play with you.
And there is a saying, yeah and it’s always true,
So if you’re dealing low, you’re gonna reap what you sow,
It’s gonna get to you. No, no, no

You can’t take it with you man, you gotta let it go.
I said you can’t take it with you no, no, no, no, no, no, no

You know I know a guy and he flew so high, ooh
But he became so small we couldn’t see him at all,
We didn’t even try.
And you’re the living proof, you’re just floating on air, yeah
Mister Wonderful your tricks are magical, but you’re just not there.

Ooh no, no
You can’t take it with you man, you gotta let it go.
I said you can’t take it with you no, no, no, no, no, Oooh-ooh-ooooh

Ooh baby
You can’t take it with you man, you gotta let it go.
I said you can’t take it with you no, no, no, no, no

You can’t take it with you man, you gotta let it go.
I said you can’t take it with you no, no, no, no, no, no

What the girls do

You can’t take it with you man, you gotta let it go.
I said you can’t take it with you no, no, no, no, no. Oooh-ooh-ooooh

You can’t take it with you man, you gotta let it go.
I said you can’t take it with you no, no, no, no, no, no, no

A FRIEND IN NEED

How many times did you ever get to the edge and say
There’s no turning back no, no, no, there ain’t no other way.
But in the depths of confusion, when the chips are really down,
There’s a tap on your shoulder baby and you’ve got to turn around.

Here is a friend, for a friend in need.
And a friend in need is a friend indeed.
No explanations needed, no questionnaire
Just take a look behind you baby, I’ll be standing…

I know a man from the north, but his philosophy is a farce.

He said a friend in need is just a pain in the arse.
He’s dealing with his friendships like he’s dealing with his cards
And when the deal turns sour well he’s disappearing fast.

Here is a friend, for a friend in need.
And a friend in need is a friend indeed.
No explanations needed, no questionnaire
Just take a look behind you baby, I’ll be standing…

Oooh but you’re thinking where upon this speck of dust
Can I find a soul, a soul that I can trust.
These little minds around me they make everything so small.
Molehills out of mountains and they don’t see the beauty of it all.

Nothing can really harm you but your own loss of face.
It’s too tough to handle and you don’t wanna finish the race.
But there’s an answer to the problem like the sun behind the rain
Just take a look around you and you’ll be smiling again.

Here is a friend, for a friend in need.
And a friend in need is a friend indeed.
No explanations needed, no, no questionnaire
Take a look around you baby, who’s standing there…

Here is a friend, here is a friend, for a friend in need.
And a friend in need is a friend indeed, friend indeed.
No explanation needed, no questionnaire, no questionnaire.
Take a look around you baby, who’s standing there, who’s standing there.

Here is a friend, here is a friend, for a friend in need.
And a friend in need is a friend indeed, friend indeed.
No explanations needed, no questionnaire, no questionnaire.
Take a look around you baby, who’s standing there, who’s standing there.

Here is a friend, here is a friend, for a friend in need.
And a friend in need is a friend indeed, friend indeed.

THE GODS ARE SMILING

This time, this time is really precious, I really shouldn’t waste it.
These days, these days are getting shorter,
And I’ve only just begun to taste it.
These walls, these walls, these walls are stronger than a mother’s love.
Oooh, the sun is getting brighter and I’m basking in the light.
But that moon is looking colder, will I make it through the night?

Those eyes, those eyes were always open to a different point of view.
Those lips, those lips were always moving, always moving with the truth.
This heart, this heart was always hoping, oooh
Hoping for a better way.
Well I’ve never been a sinner but I’ve wandered from the track
And a lie would leave me thinking, do I wanna be like that?

This must be heaven, I’m with the happy throng.
Somebody loves me, I really can’t go wrong.
The gods are smiling, so who am I to moan?
The gods are smiling on me and my happy home.
My door is open, the laughter goes on
No locks, no bars, no thanks, no way.

This must be heaven, I’m with the happy throng.
Somebody loves me, I really can’t go wrong.
The gods are smiling, so who am I to moan?
The gods are smiling on me and my happy home.
My door is open, the laughter goes on,
No locks, no bars, no thanks, no way.

FRED AND DIS-AUDREY

I saw a man down at Camber Sands, yeah
He had the sunset sitting in his hands; he said
I’m tryin’a capture that special light, well I,
I try and try but I just can’t get it right.
It’s so beautiful, it’s so beautiful.
It’s so beautiful, it’s so beautiful,
That magic moment, just before the night,
I try and try but I just can’t get it right.
No I just can’t get it right, I just can’t get it right.
No I just can’t get it right, I just can’t get it right.

I’ll show you Venice, before the city sinks,
Before those tourists, they tip it in the drink.
We’ll gaze in wonder, ‘cross those Canaletto skies,
We’ll follow masters, ‘cross the Bridge of Sighs.
It’s so beautiful, it’s so beautiful,
Ooooh it’s so beautiful, it’s so beautiful.
You’ll never believe it, those colours make you high.
We’ll follow masters, ‘cross the Bridge of Sighs.
Yeah, across the Bridge of Sighs, across the Bridge of Sighs.

Oooh, across the Bridge of Sighs, across the Bridge of Sighs.

It’s so beautiful, it’s so beautiful.

So tell me, Frederic, could I ever paint like that?
Mix up these colours, well, you’re grinning like a cat.
Just look around you, you don’t paint what you see,
It’s the spaces in between, there lies the mystery.
It’s so beautiful, it’s so beautiful.
It’s so beautiful, it’s so beautiful.
You gotta look deeper, you don’t paint what you see.
The spaces in between, there lies the mystery,
There lies the mystery, there lies the mystery.

Ooh yeah, there lies the mystery, there lies the mystery.

I try and try but I just can’t get it right, no, no.

I try and try but I just can’t get it right.

I try and try but I just can’t get it right, no, no.

I try and try but I just can’t get it right.

I try and try but I just can’t get it right, no, no.

I try and try but I just can’t, just can’t get it right.

I try and try but I just can’t get it right, no, oh.

I try and try but I just can’t get it right, no, no, no.

I try and try and try and try and try and try and try, try, try.

I try and try but I just can’t get it right, like crazy.

I try and try but I just can’t get it right, no, no, no.

I try and try but I just can’t get it right, like crazy.

I try and try but I just can’t get it right. No, no, no

I WILL LOVE YOU TOMORROW

Got to thank my lucky stars, lucky man I did go far

Deep inside that soothing light too far but it came out right

I can’t change a bit of the past

You’re still there, we can make it last

Give and take and move it along

Work it out and our love grows strong

I love you more and more each day, much more than yesterday

But not as much as I will love you tomorrow

Love is love and it’s here to stay,

Much more than yesterday

But not as much as I will love you tomorrow

Not as much as I will love you tomorrow

Magic moments deep in the past, long ago but the memory lasts

Sight, sound, touch and smell, memories there that I know so well

I wanna dream that dream again

Round and round and around again

Don’t stop me, I can’t let go

Got the best of all I know

I love you more and more each day, much more than yesterday

But not as much as I will love you tomorrow

Love is love and it’s here to stay,

Much more than yesterday

But not as much as I will love you tomorrow

Not as much as I will love you tomorrow

Those words that I want to say, in my mouth then they melt away

Swim around my head at night, disappear in the morning light

I look at you and you’re not a dream

Everything is just what it seems

Your face is warm and your lips are real

It’s so good when we touch and feel

I love you more and more each day, much more than yesterday

But not as much as I will love you tomorrow

Love is love and it’s here to stay,

Much more than yesterday

But not as much as I will love you tomorrow

I love you more and more each day, much more than yesterday

But not as much as I will love you tomorrow

Love is love and it’s here to stay,

Much more than yesterday

But not as much as I will love you tomorrow

I love you more and more each day, much more than yesterday

But not as much as I will love you tomorrow

Love is love and it’s here to stay,

Much more than yesterday

But not as much as I will love you tomorrow

I love you more and more each day, much more than yesterday

But not as much as I will love you tomorrow

Love is love and it’s here to stay,

Much more than yesterday

But not as much as I will love you tomorrow

I love you more and more each day, much more than yesterday

But not as much as I will love you tomorrow

SLEEPING WITH THE GHOSTS

Oooh I saw your soul awakened like a butterfly’s wings,
And your face was full of laughter and your heart began to sing.
You were soaring through the heavens,
You could leave the past behind,
But that thread it’s still not broken,
It’s out of sight, not out of mind.
No you can’t deny the pleasures or the thing you miss the most,
No, you ain’t fooling no-one, baby, you’re still sleeping with the ghosts.

Heaven knows what the future holds
We can speculate but we’ll never know.
The past will hold you tightly, you’ve gotta break away
Your life’s still in a limbo and you’ve gotta find a way.
I know no better, there ain’t no crystal ball
But you’ve gotta keep on moving, if you don’t you’re gonna fall.

Oooh talk ‘til you’re dropping, deep into the night,
That fear won’t go away now,
You’re like a cat caught in the headlights.
Sail into the sunset, oh across those stormy seas,
You ain’t fooling no one, baby, you’re not fooling me.
Run with the devil, but you’ll miss what matters most,
You can’t hide the memories, you’re still sleeping with the ghosts.

Deep in the darkness, way behind those tired eyes,
Underneath the laughter, the nightmare never dies.
The fear’s still hanging in there, will it never, never leave?
Can you throw away those shackles?
Give yourself a chance to breathe?
You ain’t going nowhere now, always heading for the coast,
Can’t you see what’s happening, you’re still burning the toast.
You ain’t fooling no-one now,
You’re still sleeping with the ghosts.

RAPPIN’ WITH YVES

I was rappin’ with Yves just the other day,
He’s got a way with words, he’s got a lot to say.
He said I’m sick of these people, gonna blow ‘em away,
I said slow down baby, put your guns away.
Rappin’ with Yves, we’re Moroccan bound.
Rappin’ with Yves, we’re gonna split this town.
Rappin’ with Yves, oh you’ve gotta come,
We’ll all get silly in the desert sun.

Ta ta ta, blah blah blee, it all sounds strange, it’s a mystery.
Ta ta ta, blah blah blee, I don’t understand, s’all Greek to me.

Well Yves got a woman, she’s so rafinee,
She talks a lot in that Parisian way.
I say slow down baby don’t you blow your top,
The man’ll disappear if the noise don’t stop.
Oooh rappin’ with Yves, we’re Moroccan bound,
Rappin’ with Yves, we’ve gotta move around,
Rappin’ with Yves, yeah, we’ll call on Fab,
He’s got a cute little place called the Maison d’Arab.

Ta ta ta, blah blah blee, it all sounds strange, it’s a mystery.
Oooh Ta ta ta, blah blah blee, I don’t understand, s’all Greek to me.

Oooh the man’s so gentle, he’s an aristocrat,
Got the family jewels but they don’t know that.
We say baby get heavy, now we all agree,
The man’s so soft it’s a mystery.
Rappin’ with Yves, we’re Moroccan bound,
Rappin’ with Yves, don’t you like the sound,
Rappin’ with Yves, gonna hit the spots,
Rap away, rap away, don’t you stop.

Ta ta ta, blah blah blee, it all sounds strange, it’s a mystery.
Ta ta ta, blah blah blee, I don’t understand, s’all Greek to me.

Oooh rap away, rap away, don’t you stop, rap away baby take me to the top,

Rap away man, it’s your God given right, rap away baby.
Stand up and fight.

Ta ta ta, blah blah blee, it all sounds strange, it’s a mystery.
Oooh Ta ta ta, blah blah blee, I don’t understand, s’all Greek to me.

Oooh rap away, rap away, don’t you stop, rap away baby take me to the top,

Rap away man, it’s your God given right, rap away baby.
Stand up and fight.

NO, NO, NETTIE

Well the queen went spinning in the whirly bird,
The king said wait a minute this is absurd.
Jumpin’ Jehosephat, she’s better than me,
I gotta get movin’ or I ain’t gonna be
King of the kingdom, king of the road,
Well, I gotta look smart on the Internettie show.

No, no, Nettie, we got to confess
You can’t go flying in a see through dress,
You’ve gotta be special if you want the press,
Desperate measures make a dreadful mess.
But don’t get angry, don’t get pissed,
We’ll find a way to get you in the Harpers list.
Oooh no, no, Nettie, don’t you fret,
The boys are gonna save you from the Bristol Rep.
Oooh oooh no, no, Nettie, you can’t do that.

Well touring’s boring, gimme a break,
I got to ease the pressure now, for heaven’s sake,
I can’t stop shouting, yeah I’m fit to explode,
You can’t be a saint when you’re on the road.
Hire ‘em, fire ‘em, let them go,
Staff are ten a penny on the Internettie show.

Ooh no, no, Nettie, you cant do that,
You can’t wear stockings to the Laundromat,
All that ‘citement makes the whites turn grey,
Oh Lord above, get on your knees and pray.
Don’t be hasty, walk that line,
The cavalry are coming in the nick of time,
No, no, Nettie, take your time,
The boys are gonna save you from the chorus line.
Oooh oooh no, no, Nettie, you can’t do that.

We got rhythm in the kitchen, rhythm at the wheel,
Fascinating passion with a delicate feel.
Rhythm with the money, rhythm on the skins.
Complicated rhythms when we’re up for a spin.
No rhythm with the women but she don’t give a hoot,
Hey! Terrorise the nanny in her hobnail boots.

Well, no, no, Nettie, it’s a dreadful shame,
The music business is a silly game,
Better run for cover when the sky turns black,
Swingin’ Dave is gonna swing his axe.
This year, next year, the year after that,
The story’s getting better than in Spinal Tap.
Woah, No, no, Nettie, toe that line,
The Basher’s gonna save you in the nick of time.
Oooh oooh no, no, Nettie, you can’t do that.

Oooh oooh no, no, Nettie, you can’t do that.

MR DECADENT

Oh my dear you’re so decadent,
Your back is straight but your genes are bent.
You’re flying high, man, and driving fast,
It’s better than dreaming, ‘cause dreams never last.
There’ll come a time when all that energy’s spent,
Ooh mon brave, you’re so decadent.

Your minty woman she’s so, fine, fine, fine.
Your minty boy’s getting prime time.
You’ve got your heaven, it’s right here on earth,
Just look around you, do you know what it’s worth?
There’ll come a time when it’s too late to relent,
Ooh my dear, you’re so decadent.

Good time Charlie, that’s what they say,
But who gives a damn, and who are they anyway?
Behind the chiclets and under the grin,
The demons are waiting but we wont let ‘em in.
You keep ‘em guessing, it’s better that way,
It’s all in what you do, man, and not what you say.

Raise your glass and sip on my ’45,
It’s still a winner and we’re very much alive.
Keep telling porkies and spinning those lines,
The yarn’s getting longer but it’s better every time.
There’s no time for caution, your framework is bent,
Oooh, my friend, you’re so decadent.
Oooh, Mr Decadent,

Oooh here he comes, here he comes, Mr Decadent,

Oooh, he’s heaven sent.
He’s Mr Decadent.

DO THE BOOKS

Louise and Morse I am so happy for you,
I really got the wobbles when your story blew.
I’m so delighted and it’s so marvellous,
You really kept your heads and now you can keep your house.
I can’t believe what those mothers tried to do,
They were liquidating the heart and soul out of you,
But your man ain’t blind and he said ‘I’ve seen the light’,
Batten down the hatches boys we’re in for a fight’. Oooh.

Do the books, um um um, do the books.
I don’t care how long it takes you man
You’ve gotta make ‘em look good.
Do the books, watch your back now, do the books,
I don’t care how long it takes you man, you’ve gotta make ‘em cook.

Our Mister Brown he’s got a lovely house,
But it ain’t kosher man and we know how.
Lying, wheeling, dealing, stealing, what a creep,
He’s flying Concorde man and that ain’t cheap.
This mother froze up when he took the stand,
Creative accounting’s getting way out of hand.
I pray to God we’ve seen the last of him,
But these creatures always find a way out of the bin.

Seize ‘em Henry, dig in and bite, we’ve gotta give ‘em
The fright of their lives.
Seize ‘em Henry, the people want blood,
We’ve got to clean up the neighbourhood.

These pillars of wisdom stand on feet of clay,
They’ll rob you blind if you dare to look the other way.
You’d better believe they’re playing a dirty game,
But you found ‘em out man, they’re gonna take the blame.
The court is buzzing when the judge gets tough,
She said it’s dreadful, man, enough is enough.
They scream and holler when the jury say
We find you guilty man and you’re gonna pay.

Do the books, do the books, do the books, do the books
Do the books, do the books, do the books, do the books

Do the books, do the books, do the books, do the books

SET IN BLANCMANGE

Batman’s flying again this year,
He ain’t got no brakes, but he got no fear, yeah.
He loves that wall, he’s gonna kiss it again,
Bella, bella, Stella’s gonna soothe the pain. Ooh yeah.
We got courage in bottles, we got tickets to ride,
Gonna run them boxes down the mountainside.
We got nerves of iron, we got balls of steel, woah.
This ain’t no picnic, man, the blood is real.
Oh nurse, you’ve gotta get me the screens.

Yes we’re all coming again, everybody knows we’ll be better than last time.
Yes we’re all coming again, everybody knows we’ll be better the next time.

The Frogs are faster, going leaps and bounds,
But Dylan’s army’s gonna take ‘em down.
Dog breath Norman’s really in for a fright, yeah,
The Flying Scotsman he’s been working all night, hoots, mon.
Well the Rasta Blasta’s gonna stone the crows,
He say one brave man’s better than two of those. Yeah.
Zoe’s gone varnish, Pete’s gone mad,
Moves like lightning off the launching pad.
Oh no, I think the enema’s back.

Yes we’re all coming again, everybody knows we’ll be better than last time.
Yes we’re all coming again, everybody knows we’ll be better the next time.

Too fat, too long, where did you get these bits?
They look familiar, man, from the McLaren pits.
Carbon fibre wheels and a grand prix box,
No, no, no, I tell you this has cost too much.
Sixty quid’s your limit, drink your poison ‘fore I put you in it.
Here come the scrute with his measuring stick,
He’s gotta bee in the bonnet, he don’t miss a trick, no.
Jenny keeps smiling well she knows the score,
Everybody’s hustling for a little bit more.
Oh dear God, cor blimey, here comes Ollie, with Oliver’s army.

Oooooooooooooooh
Yes we’re all coming again, everybody knows we’ll be better than last time.
Yes we’re all coming again, everybody knows we’ll be better the next time.

Yes we’re all coming again, everybody knows we’ll be better than last time.
Yes we’re all coming again, everybody knows we’ll be better the next time.

A HUMAN, BEING

I’m not a yid, I’m not a yok,
I’m not a spic, I’m not a wap,
I’m not a honky, I’m not a coon,
If you disagree, you gimme fighting room.
My mother was Irish, she called me Mick,
My dad was a Scot, but he knew the licks,
So I find myself on the edge of a point of view.

I am a human, seeing. I am a human, believing.
I am a human, just feeling. I am a human, being.

I’m not a queen and I’m not a fag,
I’m not a fairy, it’s such a drag.
Is it really straight? We pontificate,
When the way we move’s just a twist of fate,
Oooh give it a name and we give it a face,
Slander my name all over the place,
But we’re standing around on the edge of a bottomless pit.

I am a human, seeing. I am a human, believing.
I am a human, just feeling. I am a human, being.

There is a spark inside of you.
Well, it’s not religious, but that won’t do.
There is a God for everyone,
Well he’s not religious, but we still get it wrong.
Well I’m no saint, no I got no creed,
If I cut myself I will surely bleed.
But I find myself there laughing at the wailing wall.

I am a human, seeing. I am a human, believing.
I am a human, just feeling. I am a human, being.

I am a human, seeing. I am a human, believing.
I am a human, just feeling. I am a human, being.
I am a human, seeing. I am a human, believing.
I am a human, just feeling. I am a human, being.

I am a human, seeing. I am a human, believing.
I am a human, just feeling. I am a human, being.

YOU ARE NOT ME

I am not you, you are not me and never the twain etcetera,
But if we try a little compromise, it’ll get betterer.
I seem to move with two left feet when I’m trucking down your street,
I don’t mind a little ridicule, it’s just a different beat, different beat.

Just a different beat, a different beat.

We bleed the same, the two of us, we hurt and feel the fears.
We shouldn’t feign indifference, we both shed those tears, both shed those tears.
It’s really not important now which one of us is right.
I am not you, you are not me, but do we need to fight, need to fight?

Do we need to fight, we need to fight?

Life could be a dream, dream, so what are we fighting for, fighting for?
I really think it’s over now and I won’t go down that road again, road again.
Ooh turn the other cheek, just let those sleeping dogs lie,
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go.

Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go.

Oh let it go.

I’m sick and tired of silly games, we’ve let the pieces fall,
We could be seeing eye to eye, but can we stand so tall, stand so tall?
I am not you, you are not me, our differences last,
We’ve got to fix the future now,

We can erase the past, erase the past
We can erase the past, erase the past

We can erase the past, erase the past

BONUS DISC

I’M NOT IN LOVE (LATINO)

I'm not in love, so don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no, no, it's because...

Ooh you'll wait a long time for me,
Ooh you'll wait a long time
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Oooooh you'll wait a long time

I like to see you, but then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
But if I call you, don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
I'm not in love, no, no, it's because...

Ooh you'll wait a long time for me,
Ooh you'll wait a long time
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Oooooh you'll wait a long time

I keep your picture upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
So don't you ask me to give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love, no, no, it's because...

Ooh you'll wait a long time for me,
Ooh you'll wait a long time
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Oooooh you'll wait a long time

THE STARS DIDN’T SHOW

We came from miles around
Just to listen to your sound
You made the night seem endless
You cast a magic spell
You played the part so well
Your music blew away the darkness
We loved you for better
Loved you for worse
But we never took you for granted
Your lives were a blessing
But they carried a curse
The night that the stars didn't show
You made me stand so proud
I was lifted from the crowd
The fire inside me burning
The figure dressed in black
Sending shivers down my back
Deep inside my soul was stirring
We loved you for better
Loved you for worse
The sweet inspiration that you gave us
And I can remember we didn't rehearse
The night that the stars didn't show
Mountains may crumble
And worlds fall apart
Lovers and friends they desert me
The road may be long
But I know in my heart
Your spirit will always be with me
The thrill to be up there
A sea of faces everywhere
I look I find you
We loved you for better
Loved you for worse
But we never took you for granted
Your lives were a blessing
But they carried a curse
The night that the stars didn't show
We loved you for better
Loved you for worse
The sweet inspiration that you gave us
And I can remember we didn't rehearse
The night that the stars didn't show

We loved you for better
Loved you for worse

Your lives were a blessing
But they carried a curse
The night that the stars didn't show

TEK DIS A WOMAN

Oh baby, baby, what am I doing?

Down on my knees, somebody’s praying

There’s something strange about the line that he’s using

But I’m not listening, watching him grooving.

Oh my darling what is he saying

He’s doing a dance, the people are swaying,

I don’t believe it but I’ve got to be dreaming

Somebody wake me, stop me from screaming

Stop me from screaming

You’ve got to take dis a woman

‘cause she’s a whole lotta woman

Why don’t you take dis a woman

You got to tek dis woman, lock her away.

Oh baby, baby, what are you doing?

Covered in white, as pale as a virgin

It’s just a trick, I don’t really like to be deceiving

Somebody wake me, I’ve got to be dreaming

Oh darling, darling, what are we doing?

Your mother’s in tears, trouble’s a-brewing

I can’t remember but I read this situation

Must be the past, I’m needing salvation

Give me salvation

You’ve got to take dis a woman

‘cause she’s a whole lotta woman

Why don’t you take dis a woman

You got to tek dis woman, lock her away.

I saw the storm in my tea-cup, true enough

Ooh I was heading for a shake-up, really tough

She got me hook line and sinkered, lightly fried

I waved goodbye to my freedom, ‘bye, goodbye, goodbye

Oh she was heading for the border, split the town

I should have stayed undercover, underground

Getting up ‘til she hit me, nailed you down

I waved goodbye to my freedom, ‘bye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

I said my darling, oh what am I doing?

My head is on fire, my bridges are burning.

I’ve got to fight it but my spirit is sinking

How could you fool me? What was I thinking?

Oh baby, baby, what am I doing?

Still on my knees, I shouldn’t be laughing.

I‘m trying to focus but the vision is hazy,

But still you can laugh, you’re driving me crazy

You drive me crazy.

You’ve got to take dis a woman

‘cause she’s a whole lotta woman

Why don’t you take dis a woman

But you got to tek dis woman, lock her away

Why don’t you take dis a woman

‘cause she’s a whole lotta woman

Why don’t you take dis a woman

But you got to tek dis woman, lock her away.

Why don’t you take dis a woman

‘cause she’s a whole lotta woman

Why don’t you take dis a woman

A CODE OF SILENCE

Deep in the night
I can hear you calling my name
How can I try to help you woman
If you go on hiding your pain
Baby, Baby, the tears on your pillow are real
You can't go on pretending to me
when I see the pain that you feel
A code of silence, is a dreadful thing
It can make you feel harder
It can keep you hanging on a string
Here in the darkness
When I hear you calling my name
A code of silence is a deadly game
It's a deadly game (what's that you say)
It's a deadly game (speak to me now)
It's a deadly game (deadly game)
Lost in your dreams
Trouble on your face in the pale moonlight
Nowhere to run you've got to let me know
Where you are standing tonight
Baby, Baby, Baby
I know that you're hurting inside
Open your heart
I know that we can make it
If you talk to me now
A code of silence, is a deadly thing
It can make you feel harder
It can keep you hanging on a string
Here in the darkness
When I hear you calling my name
A code of silence is a deadly game
It's a deadly game (what's that you say)
It's a deadly game (speak to me now)
It's a deadly game (deadly game)...

SHINE

We get our troubles, things can go wrong

We shouldn’t worry, our love is too strong

Deeper and deeper than ever they’re sayin’

Keep us together through the sun and the rain

Through the sun and the rain

Oh baby, shine, shine like the sun

Keep your love flowing into my heart

Shine, shine, show me you love me

And nothing can keep us apart

They’ll never keep us apart

People are foolish, bringing you pain

Why do they bother? They’ve got nothing to gain

Jealousy’s staple with the rulers of lies

They don’t mean a thing so make them realise

Oh make them realise

Oh baby, shine, shine like the sun

Keep your love flowing into my heart

Shine, shine, show them you love me

And nothing can keep us apart

They’ll never keep us apart

Friends will try to help you out

But they will leave you so confused

So don’t answer questions, don’t tell them why

I don’t wanna see you cry

Don’t you ever let me catch you with a tear in your eye

I don’t wanna see you cry

So don’t you ever let me catch you

With a tear in your eye, tear in your eye

Oh baby, shine, shine like the sun

Keep the love flowing into my heart

Shine, shine, show them you love me

And nothing will keep us apart

They’ll never keep us apart

I’ll count my blessings one at a time

No need to hurry, we’ve got love on the line

‘Cause deeper and deeper than ever they’re sayin’

Keep us together through the sun and the rain

Through the sun and the rain

Oh baby, shine, shine like the sun

Keep the love flowing into my heart

Shine, shine, show them you love me

And nothing can keep us apart

Oh baby, shine, shine like the sun

Keep the love flowing into my heart

Shine, shine, show them you love me

And nothing can keep us apart

Oh baby, shine, shine like the sun

Keep the love flowing into my heart

Shine, shine, show them you love me

And nothing can keep us apart
