Simply Red - The Very Best Of Simply Red [compilation] (2003) by Simply Red (보컬) on maniadb.com

Anyone who ever held you
Would tell you the way I'm feeling
Anyone who ever wanted you
Would try to tell you what I feel inside
The only thing I ever wanted
Was the feeling that you ain't faking
The only one you ever thought about
Wait a minute can't you see that I

I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend

For the man who tried to hurt you
He's explaining the way I'm feeling
For all the jealousy I caused you
States the reason why I'm trying to hide
As for all the things you taught me
It sends my future into clearer dimensions
You'll never know how much you hurt me
Stay a minute can't you see that I

I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend

Too many hearts are broken
A lover's promise never came with a maybe
So many words are left unspoken
The silent voices are driving me crazy
As for all the pain you caused me
Making up could never be your intention
You'll never know how much you hurt me
Stay can't you see that I

I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend

Holding back the years,
Thinking of the fear I've had for so long.
When somebody hears,
Listen to the fear that's gone.
Strangled by the wishes of pater,
Hoping for the arm of mater,
Get to me sooner or later,

Nothing ever could, yeah.
I'll keep holding on,
I'll keep holding on,
I'll keep holding on,
I'll keep holding on.

Chance for me to escape from all I know.
Holding back the tears.
There's nothing here has grown.
I've wasted all my tears,
Wasted all those years.
Nothing had the chance to be good,

Nothing ever could, yeah.
I'll keep holding on,

I'll keep holding on,
I'll keep holding on,
I'll keep holding on,
So tight.

Loving you just goes on
On and on, on and on
And on

Growing with you
Is pleasure for two
Raising my spirits
Hoping for you
And I do

And being with you
I see a side of my life
A chance to grow
In a way that I never knew
Cause baby its you
Honey, its you

Find a movie where theres no one
On and on, just having fun
On our own

22 different shows on
Dont care which one
Just as long as were having fun
On and on and on

Cause being with you
I see a change in my life
A chance to grow
In a way that I never knew

Cause baby its you
You you you, you you you, its you
Honey its you
Baby its you
You you you, you you you, you you you
Honey its you

If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me

All the things
That we've been through
You should understand me
Like I understand you
Now girl I know the difference
Between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothing
To break up our happy home
Don't get so excited
When I come home
A little late at night
Cos we only act like children
When we argue fuss and fight

If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me

We've all got our Own funny moods I've got mine,
Woman you've got yours too
Just trust in me like I trust in you
As long as we've been together
It should be so easy to do
Just get yourself together
Or we might as well say goodbye
What good is a love affair
When you can't see eye to eye

If you don't know me by now You will never
Never never know me

This impossible power
A strength that I can't see
There's no way
That I can let you go
Why did I mistake sex
For another sense
Then wanted someone else
To try to tell you no

I think you understand
Oh that you've got it
I try hard but I can't
Oh do without it

I think you understand
That you've got it

This impossible power
Has broken into me
And stolen all the sense
That I had before
Why did I just take
And never understand
The love you've given me
Could've learnt me more

I think you understand
Oh that you've got it
I try hard but I can't
Oh do without it

I think you understand
That you've got it

What made you think
That I'd be true to you
I needed to
Prove it to myself
That I could let you go
What made you think that
I'd be a fool for you
You knew that I was lying
There was something
I was hiding

I think you understand
Oh that you've got it
Well I try hard but I can't
Oh do without it

You've got that look again
The one I hoped I had when I was a lad
Your face is just beaming
Your smile got me boasting,
my pulse roller-coastering
Anyway the four winds that blow
They're gonna send me sailing home to you
Or I'll fly with the force of a rainbow
The dream of gold will be waiting in your eyes
You know I'd do most anything you want
Hey I, I try to give you everything you need
I can see that it gets to you
I don't believe in may things
But in you I do

Her faith is amazing
The pain that she goes through contained
in the hope for you
Your whole world has changed
The years spent before
seem more cloudy than blue
In many ways your baby's controlling
When you haven't laid down for days
For the poor no time to be thinking
They're too busy finding ways
You know I'd do most anything you want
Hey I, I try to give you everything you need
I'll see that it gets to you
I don't believe in many things
But in you I do

You know I'd do most anything you want
Everyday I, I try to give you
everything you need
We'll always be there for you
I don't believe in many things But in you

So now we've got our independence
What are we gonna do with it ?
Learning to play deifferent games
Already using different names
Cause now our love bears no resemblance
To what we had before
When our love was good it was all that we saw
When our love was good it blinded us before
This real revolution baby
Where you're not below me anymore

Never never love can never be enough
Never be enough, just ain't good enough
Never never love can never be enough
Never be enough, oh no

So now we've got our independence
What are we gonna do with it ?
Building the houses, claiming back the land
Burning the bridges, cleaning up your hands
Cause now our love bears no resemblance
To what we had before

Now our love has something for the future
Now our love will grow the seeds to sow this real revolution
This good revolution baby
Where you're not below me anymore

All eyes were closed, nobody knows
How the world wasn't able to see that they were washed-up failures
My eyes are open, my love is strong
I am here to stay and it will always be that way

We're in this together
We're in this together
Forever
Together

My line is long, my soul it rolls
Somewhere on the train of universal feeling
My eyes are open, just like the ocean
>From the people in need to the sun and the seas

We're in this together
We're in this together
Forever
Together

We're in this together
We're in this together
Forever
Together

Gotta find me an angel
To fly away with me
Gotta find me an angel
Who set me free
My heart is without a home
I don't want to be alone
Gotta find me an angel
In my life

Too long have i loved
So unattached within
So much that i learn
That i need somebody so
Still i'll just go on
Hoping that i'll find someone

Gotta find me an angel in my life

i know there must be someone,someone for me
I've lived too long without the love of someone
And there's no misery,like the misery i feel in me

Gotta find me an angel in my life
She'll be there,now don't you worry
Keep looking now just keep looking

Tell her try her best just to make it quick
Woman tend to the sick
Because there must be something she can do
This heart is broken in two
Tell her it's a case of emergency
There's a patient by the name of Mickey

Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this here thirst
My night nurse, Oh God
Oh the pain is getting worse

I don't want to see no Doc
I need attendance from my nurse around the clock
Because there's no prescription for me
She's the one, the only remedy

My night nurse
Only you alone can quench this her thirst

My night nurse
Oh the pain is getting worse
I'm hurt my love

I don't want to see no Doc
I need attendance from my nurse around the clock
Because there is no prescription for me
She's the one, the only remedy

Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this here thirst

My night nurse
Oh the pain is getting worse
I'm hurt my love
And I'm sure, no, no doctor got a cure

My night nurse
My night nurse
My night nurse

Being one of those grains of sand
I get blown all around the world
And what I make of it
Oh I don't know
What's the meaning of it
Oh I don't know

I've been around so many times
that the world's turning in my mind
What do I think of it
Oh it's so so

What more can you be than the things they say
you've been

Say you love me all around the world
Stay and hug me all around the world
Be yours a boy or be mine a girl
Just say you love me
Just say you love me

I never ever realised
It's so easy to make you cry
But did I break a bit
Oh I hope no
Have you forgot about it
Oh I hope so

But you never ever wonder why
In every single pair of eyes
There is a hunger in it
Or it's soul dies

What more can you be than the things they say
you've been

Say you love me all around the world
Stay and hug me all around the world
Be yours a boy or be mine a girl

Say you love me all around the world
Stay and hug me all around the world
Be yours a boy or be mine a girl
Just say you love me

Come on now darling, say you love me
Oh yeah, please please say you love me
Come on say you love me

If I could make a wish I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat no books to read
Making love with you, has left me peaceful warm inside
What more could I ask
There's nothing left to be desired

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
Just to have you now
All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want

Peace came upon me and it breathes in me
Don't sleep silent angel don't you sleep

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
just to have you now
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Ev'ry time we say goodbye I die a little
Ev'ry time we say goodbye I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me who must be in the know
Think so little of me they allow you to go

When you're near there's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere waiting to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change from major to minor
Ev'ry time we say goodbye

When you're near there's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere waiting to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change from major to minor
Ev'ry time we say goodbye

Baby mellow my mind
Make me fee like a shcoolboy on goodtime
Jugglin' nickels and dimes
Satisfied with the fish on the line

I've been down the road and I've come back
Lonesome whistle on the railroad track
Ain't got nothin' on those feelings that I had

Something so hard to find
A situation that could casualise your mind

I've been down the road and I've come back
Lonesome whistle on the railroad track
Ain't got nothin' on those feelings that I had

I've been down thr road and I've come back
Lonesome whistle on the railraod track
Ain't got nothin' on those feelings that I had

Baby mellow my mind
Make me feel likea schoolboy on good time
Jugglin' nickels and dimes
Satisfied with a fish on the line

Here from the top of a mountain
I see you there
In the cool night air
Someday in my life

Fear has no reason to doubt them
They tell me so
Yet they will never know
You are here in my life

Wherever I go now
I'll follow you
And my heart will be true
I have never known someone
To stay right here
Soon you will be right here
Someday in my life

Piano solo

Here from the top of a mountain
I see you there
In the cool night air
Someday in my life

Storms my rage on about them
They hail and snow
Yet they will never know
You are here in my life

Wherever I go no
I'll follow you
And my heart will be true
I have never know someone
To stay right here
Soon you will be right here
Someday in my life

Ev'ryone is trying to get to the bar.
The name of the bar,
The bar is called Heaven.
The band in Heaven,
They play my favourite song.
They play it once again,
They play it all night long.


Chorus:
Heaven,
Heaven is a place,
A place where nothing,
Nothing ever happens.

-chorus-

There is a party, everyone is there.
Everyone will leave at exactly the same time.
It's hard to imagine that nothing at all
Could be so exciting, could be so much fun.

-chorus-

-chorus-

When this kiss is over it will start again.
It will not be any different, it will be exactly the same.
It's hard to imagine that nothing at all
Could be so exciting, could be so much fun.

chorus

When the only sound in the empty street,
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop.
When the moon so long has been gazing down
On the wayward ways of this wayward town.
That her smile becomes a smirk,
I go to work.

Love for sale,
Appetising young love for sale.
Love that's fresh and still unspoiled,
Love that's only slightly soiled,
Love for sale.
Who will buy?
Who would like to sample my supply?
Who's prepared to pay the price,
For a trip to paradise?
Love for sale
Let the poets pipe of love
in their childish way,
I know every type of love
Better far than they.
If you want the thrill of love,
I've been through the mill of love;
Old love, new love
Every love but true love
Love for sale.

Before we go on the honeymoon is over

Just because I've never known your face
Don't look at me in the wrong way
To try and pick you out from all this space
The coldest room in the whole damn place
Lady Godiva's room
The only place she ever played in tune
Lady Godiva's room
The only place she ever played her bells in
Ah this is madness
This is insane gloom

Before we go on the honeymoon is over

When I asked I was beside myself
Thought that marriage would turn out well
In this holly and ivy age
The day we kissed on the mistletoe train
The love we have is still inside us
The dreams we had have left inside and died
Lady Godiva's room
The only place she ever played in tune
Lady Godiva's room
The only place she ever played her bells in
Ah this is madness
This is insane gloom

Before we go on the honeymoon is over
Before we go on the honeymoon is over
Lady Godiva the honeymoon is over

Brand new shoes

So I went to the bank

Driving down an endless road
Taking friends or moving alone
Pleasure at the fairground on the way

It's always friends that feels so good
Lets make amends like all good men should
Pleasure at the fairground on the way

Walk around, be free and roam
There's always someone leaving alone
Pleasure at the fairground on the way

And I love the thought of coming home to you
Even if I know we can't make it
I love the thought of giving hope to you
Just a little ray of light shining through

Love can bend and breathe alone
Until the end it finds you a home
Don't care what the people may say

It's always friends that feels so good
Lets make amends like all good men should
Pleasure at the fairground on the way

And I love the thought of coming home to you
Even if I know we can't make it
I love the thought of giving hope to you
Just a little ray of light shining through

Something got me started
You know that I will love you
Lately since we parted
I truly know that I need you
I'd give it all up for you (Yes I would)

Totally broken-hearted
Guilty of what I did to you
Lately since we parted I truly know
that I need you
I'd give it all up for you
I'd give it all up for you (Yes I would)

You've got to help me, help me, help me
I'd give it all up for you
I'd give it all up for you (Yes I would)
[Yes I would]

Something got me started
You've got to Something got me started

I was bowled out
I was sold down the river
And her warm heart
Would turn me forever

She's turned me round
A new flame has come
And nothing she can do
Can do me wrong

I am stern now
Petty words
Don't believe me
But her warm smile
Is never gonna leave me

She's turned me round
A new flame has come
And nothing she can do
Can do me wrong

Wrong oh no
Wrong oh no

She's made of real glass
She got real real emotion
But my heart laughs
I have that same
Sweet devotion

She's turned me round
A new flame has come
And nothing she can do
Can do me wrong

Wrong oh no
Wrong oh no
Nothing she can do
Can ever do me wrong

In the middle of the night, when the time is right
Sexily right, I'm gonna do the right thing
Gonna move you slow, much harder though
Sexily so, I'm gonna do the right thing
Feelin' hot, I ain't never gonna stop
To get what you got, you better take what I bring
Feel it now, much harder now
More than any old how, say you feel the pain

Feel I'm getting harder now, get off you back four
Get on top more owww!
Feel I'm sinking farther down, get off you back four
Get on top more

I told you to stop, `You're sleeping out a lot'
You told me get lost, where's your understanding
I feel it now much harder than I've ever done now
I'd better do the right thing

I'm gonna do the right thing
I'm gonna do the right thing

Feel I'm getting harder now, get off you back four
Get on top more owww!
Feel I'm sinking farther down, get off you back four
Get on top more

In the middle of the night, when the time is right
Sexily right, I'm gonna do the right thing
Gonna move you slow, much harder than I've ever done now
I'm gonna do the right thing

I'm gonna do the right thing
I'm gonna do the right thing

I'm on fire
I'm on fire
You know I told you that I would never dream of leaving
If I did it right
I'm gonna do the right thing

When a man just can't be trusted
And again he's gone and lost it

Your call has been registered
It'll be returned when I get back home
I've been out loving all night long
I can't help it, that love it makes me strong

When a man just can't be trusted
And again he's gone and lost it

Ask me all the questions you need
I don't tell lies, my conscience don't bleed
You'll get all the time I can give
As long as you respect my freedom to live

When a man just can't be trusted
And again he's gone and lost it

I just can't be trusted

A kick in the ribs for the arrival late at night
So late in the evening you could see the morning light
When you're sat up alone and you wonder where I've been
You can pick up my belongings and tell me where I can take them

When a man just can't be trusted
And again he's gone and lost it

I just can't be trusted

Infidelity

If I said you were evil
You'd knock me off my feet
If I said you're a good girl
You'd bore me off my seat
You'll never see me walking
Down a guilty middle-class street
I'm frequently appalled
By them pretending to be poor men

I'd give you all I can now
I don't have enough arms for you
Ask the people with the real cash
Institutions who are taking yours and mine

I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad
I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad

It's written in the books
In the literature that I've read
Temporary blindness
Breezing through the fog again
You'll never see me walking
Down a guilty middle-class street
I'm frequently appalled
By them pretending to be poor men

I'd give you all I can now
I don't have enough arms for you
Ask the people with the real cash
Institutions who are taking yours and mine

I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad
I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad

I never get enough of it

I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad
I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad

Bad bad bad!!!

Come to my aid, you're sweet as everything.
Come to my aid, I'd give you anything
I feel so betrayed by the people I love.
Come to my aid, it's you I'm thinking of.

Prouder than wild, sad enough to sing.
Come to my aid and care for social living.

Chorus:
Why are we liable to die for survival?
Wny is our nation divided?
Come to my aid (repeat)

In the poverty stakes see just what it means
When welfare decimates you'd better care about your fellow people.

chorus

Come on board!

I've got to stand up for myself
This society don't care about nobody else
I've got to be strong
Even if I know that this feeling is wrong
I've got to not care
Even if I know that this world is meant to share
Wait a minute. This is wrong
Even the birds still sing their faithful song
And your beauty lies within you
Look in the mirror baby

What you gonna do
when your friends have gone away
And deserted you
You'll have to be strong
24 hours can seem so long
You're taught to not care
And then not realise
this world is meant to share
Wait a minute. It's wrong
Even the birds still sing their faithful song
And your beauty lies within you
Look in the mirror baby

We've got to stand up for ourselves
Even if a leader so cold wants to glory himself
We've got to be strong
Even if our reasons seem wrong
We've got to not care Even if the world
that we know may not even be here
Hold It! It's wrong
Even the birds still sing their faithful song
And your beauty lies within you
Look in the mirror baby

OK, I'm the one who took you for granted
I've made my mistakes,
wake up let's not break up
Thrill me You've got a love so strong
Thrill me You really turn me on
Thrill me Wait till tomorrow night
Thrill me I'm gonna treat you right
You said that I would never let you be alone
How many times have you been on your own
Worked all the days
to find the things you try to do
If only my heart would never let you through
Because you
Thrill me You've got a love so strong
Thrill me You just can't do me wrong
Thrill me Wait till tomorrow night
Thrill me I'm gonna treat you right
The truth is you've gone
and left me on my own
How can I face the fact you're really gone
Love was a phase
we'd have to pray to make it true
If only my heart would've never let you through
Because you
Thrill me You've got a love so strong
Thrill me You really turn me on
Thrill me Wait till tomorrow night
Thrill me I'm gonna treat you right

Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I just was recalling

Sitting here glad as I am
With your photograph, I hold it in my hands
Aching for a vision of you, you're right in front of me
Looking at the photograph, and the way you were looking at me

I was remembering the first time we made love
I just was recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I just was recalling
Remembering the first time we made love

Sitting here looking at the table
It's just like a photograph
There's you and me, fruit, drink, good food
On the things we did, the things we did
>From the shower we took to the very first look

Remembering the first time we made love
I just was recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I just was recalling
Remembering the first time we made love

You're rich, you're beautiful, you're in love
How wonderful life can be
Just the way you wanted to be
Yet I am the colour of the night
If I could only make it right
If I only make it right

Remembering the first time we made love
I just was recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I never forget you girl
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
Love you, love you, love you girl
Remembering the first time we made love

To be free
Or to feel free
The first one is a myth

Yeah to be free
Or to feel free
The first one is a myth

For to be is to feel and to be real is to see

You want more
You say you want me
He left us alone as day was dawning

You got more
Did you get me
Red sleeps after sunrise has fallen

You hard core
You're hard on me
You're dressed up at dawn way before me

Bereft as the sunlight was falling upon me

Teo be free
Or to feel free
The first one is a myth

To be free
Or to feel free
The first one is a myth

To be is to feel and to be real is to see

To come is so organic unbelievable
A solitary sign to open up your mind
A love that's so organic unbelievable
A solitary sign to open up your mind

Open up your mind

Stay at home, now
That little girl was born on the ghetto side of town
She knows every trick in the book and she certainly gets around
She's been with many men since she was only ten
She never stay at home, she is always on the town

Your mamma is wondering where you are
What do you see at night when you're under the stars

Stay at home
Sister stay at home
Don't let your mamma down
Don't be a run around

Stay at home
Sister stay at home
Don't let your Mother down
Don't be a run around
Stay at home, now

That little girl was born on the ghetto side of town
She knows every trick in the book and she certainly gets around
She's been with many men since she was only ten
She never stay at home, she's always on the town

your mamma is wondering where you are
What do you see at night when you're under the stars
Baby keep on running snd you won't get far
You like to travel with all those movie stars
You like a hangin' in the big long shiny cars

Sister stay at home
Don't let your mamma down, no no no no

I know the desert can't hold all the love
that I feel in my heart for you
If I could spread it out across the sea,
I know my love would cork it up
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold

If the bees only knew how sweet you are baby
They would seal up their honeycomb
If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is
They would tighten up the song
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Your lips are so sweet, honey you're my every need
You got a smile so rare
A love like yours I just can't compare
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold

If the cook in the kitchen had a touch as hot as yours
They wouldn't need a fire
I can't think of a word that describes you better
Than the sight of her

Listen boy, I'll tell you a thing.
I'll make you a career in the business I'm in.
I'll make you rich, I'll make you a toy,
I'll make you turn over into my little boy.
Y'see I'm going somewhere.
I don't know what I'm gonna do when I get there.

I know money's a thing - your only inspiration
And your only meaning.
You must think that all I do
Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you.
You can fall when I will climb,
But I'll be falling over just by having you in mind.

1st. chorus:
Mend that fight - oh listen to them
Kickin' up a ball inside a Jericho wall.
Mend that fight - it's all twisted through them.
If you ain't rich then you won't go to the ball.

Having mercy and licking up love,
And moving through your ocean like I've never had enough.
Y'see you ain't all I want,
You're everything and more that I have ever hoped for.
You must think that all I do
Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you.
You can fall when I will climb,
But I'll be falling over just by having you in mind.

-1st chorus-

2nd chorus:
You won't go to the ball.
You won't go to the ball.
You won't go, you won't go,
You won't go to the ball.
(repeat)

You must think that all I do
Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you.
You can fall when I will climb,
But I'll be falling over just by having you in mind.

Mend that fight - oh listen to them
Kickin' up a ball inside a No.10 wall.
Mend that fight - it's all twisted through them.
I'm rich, you ain't, so you won't go to the ball
No more!

-2nd chorus-

Outro:
Yeah, if you ain't got nothing
You'll never go there
(Repeat)
I tried to make you see
I tell you, I'd had enough.
Money was a thing, money was a thing,
Money was a thing that I believed in.
(Repeat)

I thank you for the things you have shown me
Thank you for the love of my life
So far anyway, now it's really really over
O God I really thank you baby

Most of all I thank you for your love
Like good people should do anyway

I thank you
I really thank you
All of my life
I really thank you

My souvenirs I hold them and remember
All the days for the rest of my life
Truth is I miss you in all the ways you will imagine
See me, feel me I wanna say

Most of all I thank you for your love
Like good people should do anyway

Mmm... you better come on in my kitchen babe,
it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors

The woman I love, took from my best friend
Some joker got lucky, stole her back again
You better come on in my kitchen babe,
it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors

Oh, she's gone, I know she won't come back
I've taken the last nickel out of her nation sack
You better come on in my kitchen, baby,
it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors

[Spoken:] Oh, can't you hear that wind howl?
Can't you hear that wind howl?
You better come on in my kitchen, baby,
it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors

When a woman gets in trouble, everybody throws her down
Lookin' for her good friend, none can't be found
You better come on in my kitchen, baby,
it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors

Winter time's comin', it's goin' to be slow
You can make the winter, babe, that's dry long so
You better come on in my kitchen,
'cause it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
