If you ever feel the time to drop me a loving line maybe you should just think twice I don't wait around on your advice You tell me I can go this far, but no more Try to show me heaven and then slam the door You offer shelter at a price much too dear And your kind of love's the kind that soon disappears So don't brag how you have changed And everything's been rearranged I thought all that was over and done But I still get the same from Each and Everyone Being kind is just a way to keep me under your thumb and I can cry because that's something we've always done you tell me I'm free of the past now and all those lies then offer me the same thing in a different guise |

Your words stung me to the heart I hadn't even noticed how far we had drifted apart can I still count you as a friend or have I done to much now to ever make amends cause I once needed just an open mind well that's no reason why I now should leave you behind A word from out of the blue reminds me how much I once needed you oh but that's all in the past now so much that I can scarcely remember how I once needed just a hand to hold cause now the few times we meet all I sense is a love grown cold you can't hold on to everything and I've forgotten what we talked about a long time since can't recall days with regret tomorrow remember today and all the rest forget cause time's gone by and all the things we did are now so much water under another bridge |

I won't try to stop you When you speak of the past Doubt is over now And I can join in when you laugh Facination makes us ask for more Than we'd like to know I needn't explain I think you know Reaassure me when my hearts Not bold enough to bear her name If you were in my shoes And scared I would do the same And though I may ask There's no need for past details Although I may laugh alone My courage fails Did you know See how I've changed now My heads so clear Still there are some things That I don't want to hear There must be so much I know That you cannot forget And I mustn't wish your life began The day we met They say as we go remind you Of when you were here before So you talk and tell me You don't think about it anymore There is something I know Hasn't quite been left behind So I'll ask you once again To prove that I don't mind To prove that I don't mind |

Stone the crows if you've done it again, if I've told you once, told you a thousand times. Sometimes I am so convinced we're casting pearl amongst the swine. Don't ever let me hear you say this is the life we folks must lead. We shun the limelight, shun the glare, and the circus built on a bigot's creed. Heaven is a place I'v heard but we haven't been there yet, I fear. We may have opened pearly gates but sometimes hell stills steals in here. Don't ever let me hear you say this is the life we folks must lead. Do you think silver turns our locks? What gold do you think paves our streets? You say we're in a different world now, where money and love go hand in hand. But can't you see we share this town, so why should we fight on our native land? Can't you see we share this town, so why on earth should we tear it down? |

Baby come home, I miss the sound of the door Your step on the stair's not there to wake me no more And every day's like Christmas Day without you It's cold and there's nothing to do And it's mighty quiet here now that you're gone I've been behaving myself for too long 'Cause I don't like sleeping or painting the town on my own So please come on home Baby, what's keeping you all this time You're wasting your days out there in the sunshine And who can I turn to if you believe still That England don't love you and she never will For it's mighty quiet here now that you're gone And I've been behaving myself for too long I don't like sleeping Or watching TV on my own So please come on home |

Now and then Do you wash your hands of me again? Wish me anywhere but home Drunk and on the end of your phone From time to time Do you guess what's really on my mind? Guess that "How you keeping now?" Means "Where are you sleeping now" But of course it's not polite To ask you where you spent last night And if I did you might reply That I have no right And anyway I'm fine Glad that you're no longer mine If I should tell a lie I'll cross my heart and hope to die You'd be appalled If you knew what I was doing When you called Yes, I can see I'm blundering Always end up wondering Will it ever be alright To ask you where you spent last night And can it be polite The way we never write, Of course I don't have the time, And anyway I'm fine If I should tell a lie I'll cross my hear and hope to die I hope we never die |

Apron strings hanging so empty, crazy things my body tells me, I want someone to tie to my apron strings. Apron strings waiting for you, pretty things that I could call you, I want someone to tie to my lonely apron strings. Your baby looks just like you when you were young, and he looks at me with eyes that shine and I wish that he were mine, then I go home to my apron strings, cold and lonely, for time brings thoughts that only will be quiet when someone clings to my apron strings. And I'll be perfect in my own way - when you cry I will be there, I'll sing to you and comb your hair, all your troubles I will share. For apron strings can be used for other things than what they're meant for, and you'd be happy wrapped in my apron strings, you'd be happy wrapped in my apron strings. |

I can tell by your eyes That you've prob'bly been cryin' forever, And the stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you They're a mirror. I don't want to talk about it How you broke my heart. If I stay here just a little bit longer, If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart? If I stand all alone Will the shadow hide the color of my heart Blue for the tears, black for the night's fears And the stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you They're a mirror I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart If I stay here just a little bit longer If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart? This ol' heart. If I stay here just a little bit longer, If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart? My heart, whoa, heart. |

The highlands and the lowlands are the roots my father knows, the holidays at Oban and the towns around Montrose but even as he sleeps, they're loading bombs into the hills, and the waters in the lochs can run deep but never still. I've thought of having children but I've gone and changed my mind - It's hard enough to watch the news let alone explain it to a child to cast your eye 'cross nature, over fields of rape and corn, and tell him without flinching not to fear where he's been born. Then someone sat me down last night and I heard Caruso sing. He's almost as good as Presley, and if I only do one thing I'll sing songs to my father, I'll sing songs to my child it's time to hold your loved ones while the chains are loosed and the world runs wild. And even as we speak, they're loading bombs onto a white train. How can we afford to ever sleep so sound again? |

Oh loverboy To you I belong But maybe one day you'll wake and you'll find me gone But loverboy If you call me home I'll come driving I'll come driving fast as wheels can turn Oh loverboy I know you too well and all of my lonely secrets To you I tell The highest of highs The lowest of lows I'll come driving I'll come driving fast as wheels can turn Stretching away as far as my eyes can see Deserts and darkness, my hand on the wheel loverboy, please call me home A girl can get lonely out here on the road You see Some days I find the old ways Frighten me too easily I leave my key and say "I'm too young" But loverboy If you call me home I'll come driving fast as wheels can turn |

Oh, and how he loved you Oh, and how he loved you Oh, and you believed him Oh, and you believed him You said you both deserve better You both deserve better Could make it a real thing Could make it a real thing On a clear day You can see the sea from your place On a fine day You can still remember his face He just kept right on... Imagining America He just kept right on... Imagining America And he was so handsome He was so handsome It was 1919 It was 1919 Sailing to New York Sailing to New York Just for you Just for you It was a clear day Waiting from the quay, saw him Was a fine day Standing with the world before him He just kept right on... Imagining America He just kept right on... Imagining America Don't he have no feelings... always feel like mountains and deserts and stars Cities have been tamed and they all know your name They have money and houses and cars (sax solo) So I stand here So I stand here In his footsteps In his footsteps We deserve better We deserve better And I can make it a real thing And I can make it a real thing It's a clear day It's a clear day Only in a final embrace Only in a final embrace It's a fine day It's a fine day The world remember our face... The world remember our face... And I just kept right on... Imagining America And I just kept right on... Imagining America We keep on, we keep Imagining America, America |

You're here, but what if you weren't? What would have happened to me? That candle, unburnt, is history. One thing, I guess, this place would be a mess, for my standards at best are undemanding. And that needs your understanding. Still here, but what if we weren't? Where d'you think I would be? For love, I have learnt, depends on geography. Fortune found us when all around us half the couples we knew were disbanding. And that takes some understanding. And do you know even when we disagree, and freedom holds out a hand to me, I know I would never want to be without your company. And I mean that totally. One thing is clear, after all these years, we have reached an understanding. We have reached an understanding. |

Now we're in twin cities, where the Mississippi rises and then falls.
One is Minneapolis, the other though less famous, is St. Paul. There are stray dogs on the highway and the local farmers moan about lack of rain. When the winds blew last winter I'd swear England had another hurricane. And we are twin cities and we are that river. From the standing still, we will be delivered. The last time in new york was with Mandela and Madonna and the Mets. For icons of an era, well, that's about as famous as it gets. I've seen cities full of ticker tape and cotton trains through Utah disappearing out of sight. And now I'm standing in a city that's as pretty as an ocean in the night. And we are twin cities and we are that ocean. from the standing still, we are set in motion. And no one calls me up to say, "how long are you going to be away?" No one calls me up to say, "don't let that life lead you astray" They were rioting in Detroit on the night the pistons won it back to back. I was out of there the next day and I only had just two bags to pack. And we are twin cities and we are one river. From the standing still, we will be delivered. and we are twin cities and we are one ocean. From the standing still, we are set in motion. |

Love, love is strange Many people take it for a game Once you've had it you're in an awful fix 'Cause after you've had it you never wanna quit A lot of people, they don't understand They think lovin' is money in their hand Your sweet lovin' is better than a kiss When you leave me those kisses I will miss Love, oh woh, love is strange Many people, oh woh, take it for a game Once you've had it, oh woh, you're in an awful fix 'Cause after you've had it, oh woh, you never wanna quit A lot of people, woh woh, they don't understand They think lovin', oh woh, is money in their hand Your sweet lovin', oh woh, is better than a kiss When you leave me, oh woh, those kisses I will miss When you leave me, oh woh, those kisses I will miss Those kisses I will miss, those kisses I will miss Those kisses I will miss |

I was alone thinking I was just fine,
I wasn't looking for anyone to be mine I thought that love was just a fabrication, A train that wouldn't stop at my station Home, alone, that was my consignment, Solitary, confinement So when we met, I was getting around you, I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you. I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you I didn't know I was looking for love I didn't know I was looking for love 'Cuz there you stood, and I would, Oh I wonder, could I say how I felt and not be misunderstood? A thousand stars came into my system, I never knew how much I have missed them. Slap, on the lap, of my heart you landed, I was coy, but you made me candid, And now the planets circle around you, I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you. I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you I didn't know I was looking for love I didn't know I was looking for love So we build from here with love the foundation In the world of tears, one conselation Now you're here and there's a full brass band Playing in me like a wonderland But if you left I would be two foot small And every tear would be a waterfall Soundless, boundless, I surround you I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you. I just didn't know. I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you I didn't know I was looking for love I didn't know I was looking for love |
