Well you're not, you're not who you think you are
Well we think that you are John or Dave But you're not, you're not who you think you are Jumbled mass of preconceived ideas From our birth we were given an identity People told us we were great or small From our birth we were given rules of right or wrong Not forgetting the bullies at school The world teaches us to think that life is full of limitations The world tries to make us think that there are loads of limits The world teaches us to think that life is full of limitations The world tries to make us think that there are loads of limits Welcome to Conditioning Welcome to Conditioning And as the world makes us feel great And as the world makes us feel small Oh so convinced of our identity If we only knew it we just can't believe it we just won't believe it Leading us to think that we are such a success Conning us to think that we are just a failure Leading us to think that we are so intelligent Conning us to think that we are just a do-do do-do Welcome to Conditioning Welcome to Conditioning Who is to say what is what Welcome to Conditioning Who is to say what is what Welcome to Conditioning Who is to say what is what Er, sorry, ha ha Who is to say what is what Welcome to Conditioning Who is to say what is what Welcome to Conditioning Who is to say what is what Welcome to Conditioning |

New Song
by Howard Jones I've been waiting for so long To come here now and sing this song Don't be fooled by what you see Don't be fooled by what you hear This is a song to all my friends They take the challenge to their hearts Challenging preconceived ideas Saying goodbye to long standing fears Don't crack up Bend your brain See both sides Throw off your mental chains I don't wanna be hip and cool I don't wanna play by the rules Not under the thumb of the cynical few Or laden down by the doom crew |

Hide And Seek
by Howard Jones There was a time when there was nothing at al Nothing at all, just a distant hum There was a being and he lived on his own He had no one to talk to, and nothing to do He drew up the plans, learnt to work with his hands A million years passed by and his work was done And his words were these... Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see Hope you find it, hope you find it Hope you find me in you So she had built her elaborate home With it's ups and it's downs, its rains and its sun She decided that her work was done, time to have fun and she found a game to play Then as part of the game She completely forgot where she'd hidden herself And she spent the rest of her time Trying to find the parts Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see Hope you find it, hope you find it Hope you find me in you There was a time when there was nothing at all, nothing at all Just a distant hum |

Ride the wild one cowboy in the rodeo
Love like crazy juliet and romeo Living only to consume Bruising hearts collecting gloom Seems no place to hide away From the hammer and caress Dress with passion Fashion for the parking lot Make some action Pushing time out of the clock Take away identity Parcel up what's left of me Water down the youthful drop Call the sane insanity All I want is to live with you All I want is to cry with you Dance til sunrise Reggae til the cows come home Fight the bigot Champion you're not alone I can sort of work things out Juggling the fear and doubt Even when it's watertight In the end I have to say All I want is to live with you All I want is to cry with you I can sort of work things out Juggling the fear and doubt Even when it's watertight In the end I have to say I have to say Ride the wild one cowboy in the rodeo Love like crazy Juliet and Romeo |

Messing around I've wasted my time for years
Listening to friends who keep filling me up with ideas Having deep talks with scholars who sound so fine Hearing this sham is like getting drunk on cheap wine Well it's time for a change I've got to move on There's got to be more than this The feeling is strong Look in better places gonna look inside Gonna get higher something is pulling me on Breaking down the old ways feeling no regret Gone are the shaky sands I've been building on Well it's time for a change Well I've lost lots of friends I've got to move on By sticking to my ground There's got to be more than this I don't give a damn The feeling is strong Just look what I've found Here I come now got no time to frown Nothing in my way now nothing can bring me down Feel that surge open the doors around Higher and higher the world is my hunting ground Well it's time for a change I've got to move on There's got to be more than this The feeling is strong |

Things Can Only Get Better
by Howard Jones We're not scared to lose it all Security throw through the wall Future dreams we have to realize A thousand sceptic hands Won't keep us from the things we plan Unless we're clinging to the things we prize And do you feel scared - I do But I won't stop and falter And if we threw it all away Things can only get better Wow wow wow oh, wow wow wow oh oh oh oh Treating today as though it was The last, the final show Get to sixty and feel no regret It may take a little time A lonely path, an uphill climb Success or failure will not alter it And do you feel Wow wow wow oh... And do you feel... |

I love you whether or not you love me
I love you even if you think that I don't Sometimes I find you doubt my love for you but I don't mind Why should I mind, Why should I mind What is Love anyway, Does anybody love anybody anyway What is Love anyway, Does anybody love anybody anyway Can anybody love anyone so much that they will never fear Never worry never be sad The answer is they cannot love this much nobody can This is why I don't mind you doubting What is Love anyway, Does anybody love anybody anyway What is Love anyway, Does anybody love anybody anyway And maybe love is letting people be just what they want to be The door always must be left unlocked To love when circumstance may lead someone away from you And not to spend the time just doubting What is Love anyway, Does anybody love anybody anyway What is Love anyway, Does anybody love anybody anyway |

Everlasting Love
by Howard Jones He wasn't looking for a pretty face She wasn't searching for the latest style He didn't want someone who walked straight off the tv She needed someone with an interior smile She wasn't looking for a cuddle in the back seat He wasn't looking for a five minute thrill She wasn't thinking of tomorrow or of next week This vacancy he meant to permanently fill I need an everlasting love I need a friend and a lover divine An everlasting precious love Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time Back in the world of disposable emotion In the climate of temporary dreams He wasn't looking for a notch on his bedpost A love to push, pull, and burst at the seams I need an everlasting love I need a friend and a lover divine An everlasting precious love Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time Is this love worth waiting for? Something special, something pure [chorus] Is this love worth waiting for? Bitterness will die for sure Something precious, something pure Is this love worth waiting for? |
