Said he was an actor
Bit of a photographer But made his living out of laughter Which made him a comedian Waiting for his million That was soon coming But for now he was bumming He looked in the mirror Looking back at an era And finished up his brushstroke And laughing at a private joke He saw the self-hate In his self-portrait That would one day hang in the tate Next to a rembrandt But still couldn't pay the rent-man He said he was a musician Who had this ambition For everyone to listen To his natural rhythm But for now he was chilling Just saying this : It?s a matter of time Before I get mine You could call it fate I'm just waiting for my break I'm just waiting for my break He said he was a model But the only trouble Was he didn't like the idea Of getting photographed in swimwear But he might try it next year He's starting up a business Before next christmas 'Cause he worked better on his own With a mobile phone But still waiting for the bank loan He said he was a worker That suffered from inertia A real soul searcher That had no religion But still went to confession He says he is a free spirit Though he doesn't appear it Living in a bedsit With no fire exit Waiting for a giro cheque That's soon coming But for now he's bumming Just saying this: It's a matter of time Before I get mine You could call it fate I'm just waiting for my break I'm just waiting for my break Let me tell you this story Over the drink you brought me You see I'm an actor Bit of a photographer But make my living out of laughter Which makes me a comedian Waiting for my million That's soon coming |

Do you want to go dancin'?
In a club? We could have a good time and live it up. Said if you want to go dancing you gotta wear a tuxedo And we could do the tango wherever we go Said if you want to do the tango then we're gonna need a ballroom So she took me by the hand and led me to her bedroom And then she did it...stripped me half naked And told me that her body was sacred. She said I could take it, if I danced with her But somehow I knew that she was an Indian giver I said "what about tomorrow?" She said "what about tonight?" She said "trust me baby-it'll be alright" She walked in wearin' stiletto boots First woman, wedding, then honeymoon, This girl that I thought I knew so well... Didn't know her until we hit the hotel And we're on the dance floor, by the seashore She said "these nights we dance together is what I live for" I said "what about before, before these nights?" She said "ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies" I said "what about tomorrow?" She said "what about tonight?" Trust me baby it'll be alright And so we danced and danced and danced and danced and danced So we danced and danced and danced and danced and danced all night. 12 o' clock the music stopped She walked away from me and took her shoes off And she said "that's it" And I knew it, She said "we can't dance without music." I said "we can dance tomorrow" She said "we've already danced tonight, trust me baby it'll be alright" It'll be alright. It'll be alright. |

About 2 o' clock I left the party
I'd been drinking red wine and talking hardy So I walked to the bus stop and looked over the city Said hello to the man sitting there but he didn't hear me So it's me and this stranger both trying to find a way home Waiting for a bus that was never gonna come So I said did you have a good night trying to make some discussion The man said what's your problem I said nothing 'Cause I'm just walking now talking now and living now And you're just walking now talking now and living now In fact we're both walking now talking now and living now So just walk now talk now and live now It's getting half for three and I'm getting lonely I call out my baby for some company So we're lying there in bed talking about nothing in particular I was staring at the ceiling and she was reading kama-sutra Then she sat up and said you know our sex life is getting sort of circular So I took her to the desk and switched on the computer And said we're gonna take a trip down the information super highway But if you're gonna come with me then you've got to do it my way All it takes now is one push on the button She said what's your problem I said nothing I'm just walking now talking now and living now And you're just walking now talking now and living now In fact we're both walking now talking now and living now So just walk now talk now and live now It's around 4 o' clock and I'm back at the party They're still drinking red wine and talking hardy But now I've got a problem nobody wants to ask me what it is They said that they would only it's none of their business And someone says what's your opinion on Russian animal welfare I said that's the least of my problems that's be quite frank I don't care And someone said you have a good night trying to make some discussion I said what's your problem he said nothing I'm just walking now talking now and living now And you're just walking now talking now and living now In fact we're both walking now talking now and living now So just walk now talk now and live now ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By PHELIM BYRNE, DONNI HARDWIDGE <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

Give me a smile,
things aren't that bad, are they? It'll take a while, but we can get this right some way. So dry your eyes and wipe those tears away. 'cause baby you are mine and that's the way it's gonna stay. I'm in your life. I'm in your life. I'm in your life. I'm in your life. You're going up in the world and, baby, I'm coming down. Looks like we're both out of luck girl and we're stuck in this town. We'll call it opportunity, try and see it as fate. 'cause this is all new to me so you'll have to pardon my mistakes. I'm in your life. I'm in your life. I'm in your life. I'm in your life. Now I've been chasing that girl, waiting for her to catch me. And now I got that girl right where she wants me. And you can try and get out of here until you're forgot. But baby I'll still be here and whether you like it or not I'm in your life. I'm in your life. I'm in your life. I'm in your life. |

I said you're the woman from last night
Standing just to my right You're the one that said I was sweet When I left your kiss in my cheek And said we could hook up sometime maybe Well now is a good a time as any She said I don't mean to offend you But you're not quite how I remembered you You seemed to look a lot better then But I think you're nice as a friend So pull up a seat and sit down We're just having a drink and hanging out So I tried to play it sexy and hurt She said I came across as an introvert So I changed to being a deep and profound Until she asked me if I was feeling down And when I told her that I was well read She looked at me and just said : Waouf waouf ! You're trying too hard but keep trying You're trying too hard but keep trying You're trying too hard but keep trying Whatever it is I'm not buying So I phoned her that weekend She said she's seeing a barman called jonathan He wears nice clothes and keeps his hair neat But I could give her a call back next week So next week we're out to coffee She tells me she's really gone off me I say gone off me? Hey you don't know me She said exactly so don't phone me I said you haven't even given this a chance She smiled and looked with a glance and said : Waouf waouf ! You're trying too hard but keep trying You're trying too hard but keep trying You're trying too hard but keep trying Whatever it is I'm not buying You're trying too hard but keep trying You're trying too hard but keep trying You're trying too hard but keep trying Whatever it is I'm not buying When is this loneliness gonna end and When will they stop crawling about their boyfriends (boyfriends) When is a girl gonna get with me (me) There must be one in this city see ? (see) All I want is something that's real (real) I'm tired of having to spiel (spiel) Two months later she phones me up now Saying hey I heard you're doing well now Let's you and me go out for a meal 'Cause I've never told you how I really feel So how about it and you can meet me I said which me did you wanna see? I got a girl now who knows who I am So I can be my own man I'm flattered but You're trying too hard but keep trying You're trying too hard but keep trying You're trying too hard but keep trying Whatever it is I'm not buying You're trying too hard but keep trying You're trying too hard but keep trying You're trying too hard but keep trying Whatever it is I'm not buying |

Look around
Look around, look around Is there something I'm missing here? Is there something I should know? And just listen to the sound All around there's people living their lives People passing by As I catch their eye It doesn't matter where you're from 'Cause wherever you are from You got a long walk home You got a long walk on And I've walked for many years And I've never shed a tear For a place called home 'Cause in this place I roam... Everyone's the same When you're walking in the autumn rain Walking in the autumn rain When you're walking from your past You can never walk too fast Think you got away at last Think you got away at last And we all have to live with our mistakes But what would it take To make things right To feel good inside? It doesn't matter what you've done 'Cause whatever you've done Life has to go on Life has to go on, yeah And my conscience is always clear every time I am here Because there is no blame When you're walking In the autumn rain In the autumn rain |

It was a windy day outside the cafe
He was drinking coffee, she was sipping Chardonnay And the were both from different (murks ?) of life, Hers' a better life, his' a harder life He walked his rhythm in worn leather shoes, the sole split Down in an old leather jacket She walked her rhythm in designer shoes expensive, Her style got it (bother ?) quite overdressed And then it happened, looking at each other imagine us as lovers Don't ask said words, we only sat and sight It felt right so stepped to her and said to her : "Leave with me and compete with me Leave with me and complete with me" As they walked there was a silence between them And silence is that counts for words She looked into his eyes, romanticised his whole life He had that look that he was foreign Get up and smoke and spoke his words like a ballon He was unshaven, (haired are craven ?) For danger of a stranger, looked like he had it in his nature And she said : "what are you thinking What are you thinking about ? What are you thinking, what are you thinking about ? And he said:" the difference between thinking and talking Is that talking is the expression of thought And thought is the unexpressed idea So if I know it is enough and ( if I said it I'd've thought em .? She said:" you cant think enough" He said:" you can think too much, you can think up a dream But there's no dream that you can touch" "But I can touch you, so you must be true" And said (it out ?) That I can touch you, so you must be true and said (...?) |

He was in section A to G,
She was under H to T. Their eyes met across the queue, Look at you. He asked for her current address, She blushed and said how her hair was a mess. He said "I'd really like, to go out with you". He said "we'll wait, 'til ??? day, And that way, the queen can pay. So I'll pick you up tomorrow". She answered wearing slippers, Said she couldn't find a baby-sitter. He said "I'm going nowhere without you." So she took her kids to her mom's for the night, And they went and the birght lights, In the town, mad them feel, like a million pounds. They went out for a romantic dinner, Then went to to see a real blues singer. She said "I really like, being with you". And when they came to the end of the night, He asked her hard again in a fortnight. She said "I'll see your before, in the line, when we sign". So two weeks later she's looking for him, But he's not in the queue amongst all the men. She's looking frantically, but no luck. She walks up to his friend, And asks him why he isn't signing ??? He shakes his head, she says "what's wrong?" He said "they took him away, yesterday". He said "you see my darling, they did a search, Turns out he's ??? in building work." He said "I've seen it before, another broken heart, From love on the dole, love on the dole, It's love on the dole, love on the dole, Love on the dole, He said "it's love on the dole". |

Shhhhh.. be quiet now, be still my darling
I can see you lying there in your bed Even know you're ?only in my head I'm so far away X6 And if you could see what I can see And if you could hear me now baby And I can tell you this paradise is lost Flowers blossom in stone in this place I'm livin lost I'm so far away X3 And what I think I'm trying to say is I can't help thinking about you And I can't help thinking about every one in you I can't help thinking about you And I can't help thinking about every one in you Do you remember old times my friend Who knows good old times You seem so distant now From these days of mine I can see you clearly now Joking and drinking wine Even know it's only in my mind And if you could see me now And if you could hear me now my friend I can tell you this paradise is lost Flowers blossom in stone in this (soons ?) I can I'll be coming home I'm so far away X3 And what I guess I'm trying to say is I can't help thinking about you And I can't help thinking about every one in you I can't help thinking about you And I can't help thinking about every one in you I wonder what you're doing now And whatever you're doing now I hope you're alright Do you remember that night ? That night seems?so far away X3 And I could see what I can see And its only me that can hear me And I'm the only one in those Paradises lost flowers blossoms in stone (stolen?) I wish I was back home X2 |

There is a woman
Who lives in this town That has my heart Held in her hand I see her in the Streets every day But I can't find The words to say But if I were a writer And could write a good hand I'd write of this love That I don't understand The words in my head They come and they go I'm thinking I love her But she'll never know And if I were a sculptor And had a good eye I'd carve out her beauty In marble or ice But these hands of mine Are far from refined I guess I'll have to accept that I am Just an ordinary man I'm just an ordinary man Now, if I were good looking And had a pretty face And if I could walk And speak with grace And if I had style Then I Wouldn't have to look down when she walked by And if I were a singer And could sing a good key I'd sing of this love In melody But this voice of mine Is far from refined I guess I'll have to accept that I am Just an ordinary man I'm just an ordinary man I know one day she'll look I know one day she'll see me And maybe that one day She'll want to be with me And maybe she'll love me For who I am Just as that ordinary man Just as that ordinary man |
