I found myself in silver dreams
I'm talking in my sleep to pawns & queens Outspoken words, you know, they just don't mean the same thing Somebody must be kiddin' me Somebody must be lying to me And please don't ask me Which is red and which is black When are you coming back to me, babe? Oh when are you coming back to me, babe? I saw myself in checkered lands I even dreamt I was the knight in command The bishop screamed: "Don't horse around boy!" Somebody must be kiddin' me Somebody must be lying to me And please don't tell me I'm losing my way You promised me everything now, didn't you babe? You promised me everything now, didn't you babe? |

I saw you standing there at the bar
Your eyes were glazed with passion A look of afar, a secret smile I blew a few kisses Said my name is Lyle That love in her eyes (love in her eyes) Heart to heart (heart to heart) A tender goodbye (a tender goodbye) Nothing could ever keep us apart As you sipped your tequila I knew I had to steal ya Read like a book Surprise that you took your time Dig that rhyme Gone, love took offence at the things I said Good advice would be to go to bed Rest my head, yeah Catch 40 winks While I dream about the things she said Late last night, ooh yeah, late last night She told me someone taught me everything I need to know, yeah Last last night, late last night She took my trembling hands and led me under the velvet sky Rolling on the hill top playing Jack and Jill Suddenly (suddenly) all was still, she was gone She seemed so aloof That's ninety per cent proof, with a lump in my throat I grabbed my coat and ran - cornered again! So I'll live for the moment and I'll take it as an omen Gotta weakness for de women and de wine Late last night, ooh yeah, late last night She told me someone taught me everything I need to know, yeah Late last night, ooh yeah, late last night She told me someone taught me everything I need to know, yeah Last last night, late late late late last night She told me everything I know, know know... |

Hiding in the wings forever
We'll take the stage, 'cos it's now or never And the whole thing reeks of cheap striptease The matinee idylls, they all fall to their knees It's not all first nights at all There's nothing more dull than a curtain call (Get on with it) Playing Romeo, you make your debut - ha! Rose red cheeks but your face is all blue It's not all bouquets & white crayons They're going to laugh when you look down I'm going to ask you if you want to be a chorus boy You can mime the tragedy while we all sing along It's not all first nights at all There's nothing more dull than a curtain call (Jolly good show everyone) |

My house is sliding into the sea
Skies are grey, since you've been away The chickens aren't laying eggs no more It can only mean you left me for sure But I still think of you when I'm alone How can I ever repay you for what you do to me I still think of you when I'm alone How can I ever repay you for what you're doin' to me La do dah la do dah dah la do dah My trees are all turning brown The sun won't shine, now you're no longer mine The rats are crawlin' up me back It can only mean you're never coming back But I still, think of you when I'm alone Oh how could I ever repay you for what you're doin' to me And I still, think of you when I'm alone Oh how could I ever repay you for what you're doin' to me La do dah la do dah dah la do dah Wooh! My bed is leaning to one side You know I can't sleep now that I've lost my pride The flies are swarming in like bees I even have to share my clothes with fleas But I still, think of you when, I'm alone How can I ever repay you for what you're doin' to me And I still, think of you when, I'm alone How can I ever repay you for what you're doin' to me Right now! La do dah la do dah dah la do dah |

You act as though
You are a blind man who's crying Crying about All the virgins that are dying In your habitual dreams You know, seems you need more sleep But like a parrot in a flaming tree I know it's pretty hard to see I'm beginning to wonder If it's time for a change But still you try like a fat boy Dancing Gershwin's Blues But you'd rather sit at home And watch the news And I'm beginning to wonder If it's time for a change I'm beginning to wonder If it's time for a change |

There's a song I know, I know - too well
An there's a place I go, I go to dwell Some forsaken land, where you're not around Desiring, dividing your time Nothing I could do it was pretty risky Fifty-fifty, she'll make good problem for me She's as cold as ice, she deep frozen She's a saint at home, devil abroad Calculated cool, so worldly wise If you take my advice, just hightail out of there Go right ahead before she tells Some cock-and-bull story about some school boy She neurotic, psychotic, you name it, she's got it Ooh Another great divide, another great divide (la-la-la...) Now how can I figure this equation, if multiplication's the rule You keep subtracting me from you, and it just doesn't add up at all How can I figure this equation, if multiplication's the rule You keep subtracting me from you, and it just doesn't add up at all Ooh another great divide, another great divide Just another great divide, just another great divide Just another great, just another great, just another great divide [repeat to fade with an extra 'divide' each third line] |

I went out to see if I could fall in love again,
That was my mistake. That was my mistake. I went out to see if I could raise a laugh again That was my mistake. That was my mistake. When all I needed was a friend, To make me stop and think again, Pull me up and pull me through, Tally ho, your health my dear. I went out to see if I could live for a couple of days. That was my mistake. That was my mistake. One by one I counted all those happiest of days. Yeah, That was my mistake. Why, That was my mistake. Whats gone is gone, sweet memories, Dont let them get the best of me, No more lost in history, No more lost for love. When all I needed was a friend, To make me stop and think again, The call to arms is loud and clear, Tally ho, your health my dear. I went out to see if I could fall in love again, That was my mistake. Why, That was my mistake. One by one I counted all those happiest of days That was my mistake. That was my mistake. That was my mistake. That was my mistake. |

When my baby's walking down the street
I see red, I see red, I see red. How could someone wicked walk around free I see red, I see red, I see red. I see red, I see red (red!), I see red. I respect your wishes You gave me such precious hours What to do without you. Squeezed me out of your life Down the drain like molten toothpaste I feel used and spat out. Poor old me [chorus] I'm fed up with crying My despair is dying, Turning into rage, day by day Green before you met me In the pink when you let me love you I was blue when you let me down Black and Blue [chorus] Go! I see red, I see red, I see red.. |

I got you - that's all I want
I won't forget - that's a whole lot I don't go out - now that you're in Sometimes we shout - but that's no problem I don't know why sometimes I get frightened You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin' Look at you - you're a pageant You're everything - that I've imagined Something's wrong - I feel uneasy You show me - tell me you're not teasin' I don't know why sometimes I get frightened You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin' There's no doubt - not when I'm with you When I'm without - I stay in my room Where do you go - I get no answer You're always out - it gets on my nerves I don't know why sometimes I get frightened You can see my eyes you can tell that I'm not lying I don't know why sometimes I get frightened You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin' I don't know why sometimes I get frightened You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lying |

One step ahead of you
Stay in motion, keep an open mind Love is a race won by two Your emotion, my solitude If I stop, I could lose my head So I'm losing you instead Either way I'm confused You slow me down, what can I do? There's one particular way I have to choose One step ahead of you Always someone makes it hard to move She says, "Boy I want you to stay" But I save it all for another day If I stop, I could lose my head But I'm ready for romance Either way I'm confused I don't know what I'm supposed to do I can only stay one step ahead of you Da Da, da, da, da Da, da, da, da Da, da, da, da Da, da, da, dum Da Da, da, da, da Da, da, da, da Da, da, da, da Da, da, da, dum Stop, I confess sometimes I don't know where I'm going Part of me stays with you I'm slowing down, what can I do It's hard to stay one step ahead of you, uh-huh One step ahead of you Time is running out, catching up with you One step ahead of you When I hold you close, can I really lose? One step ahead Only one step ahead She's one step ahead of you |

History never repeats
I tell myself before I go to sleep Don't say the words you might regret I lost before, you know I can't forget There was a girl I used to know She dealt my love a savage blow I was so young, too blind to see But anyway that's history I say history never repeats I tell myself before I go to sleep Don't say the words you might regret I lost before, you know I can't forget You say I always play the fool I can't go on if that's the rule Better to jump than hesitate I need a change and I can't wait History never repeats I tell myself before I go to sleep And there's a light shining in the dark Leading me on towards a change of heart, ah History never repeats History never repeats Deep in the night it's all so clear I lie awake with great ideas Lurking about in no-man's land I think at last I understand History never repeats I tell myself before I go to sleep And there's a light shining in the dark Leading me on towards a change of heart, ah Never repeats Never repeats Never repeats Hey hey Hey Never repeats |

When I was a young boy
I wanted to sail around the world That's the life for me Living on the sea Spirit of a sailor Circumnavigates the globe The lust of a pioneer Will acknowledge no frontier I remember you by Thunderclap in the sky Lightning flash, tempers flare 'Round the horn if you dare I just spent six months in a leaky boat Lucky just to keep afloat Aotearoa Rugged individual Glisten like a pearl At the bottom of the world The tyranny of distance Didn't stop the cavalier So why should it stop me I'll conquer and stay free Ah, come on all you lads Let's forget and forgive There's a world to explore Tales to tell back on shore I just spent six months in a leaky boat Six months in a leaky boat Shipwrecked love can be cruel Don't be fooled by her kind There's a wind in my sails Will protect and prevail I just spent six months in a leaky boat Nothing to it leaky boat |

I don't want to say ""I love you"" That would give away too much. Good to be detached and precious, the only thing you feel is vicious. I don't want to say ""I want you"" even though I want you so much. It's wrapped up in conversation, it's whispered in a hush. Though I'm frightened by the word, think it's time that it was heard. No more empty self possession, visions swept under the mat. It's no New Years resolution, it's more than that. Now I wake up happy warm in lovers embrace. No one else can touch us while we're in this place. So I'll sing it to the world this simple message to my girl. No more empty self possession, visions swept under the mat. It's no New Years resolution, it's more than that. Though I'm frightened by the word, think it's time I made it heard. So I'll sing it to the world this simple message to my girl. No more empty self possession, visions swept under the mat. It's no New Years resolution, it's more than that. Oh there's nothing quite as real as the touch of your sweet hands. I can't spend the rest of my life buried in the sand. |
