You have watched me, safe in your anonymity
I have dreamed you, held in your security Some people believe a photograph traps your mortal soul Your eyes were the camera and you've take hold And you captured me I need you to take control I am a prisoner of no confidence You've entered me now make me whole Every place I go I feel your lenses trained on me This distant concentration takes away my energy Your image burns it's negative Behind my waking eyes Then the night comes and you stalk your prize And you captured me I need you to take control I am a prisoner of no confidence You've entered me now make me whole Some people believe a photograph traps your mortal soul Your eyes were the camera and you've taken hold And you captured me I need you to take control I am a prisoner of no confidence You've entered me now make me whole |

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? |

You have been a healer, makin' me well
You have been my talker, givin' my ego hell You came and settled me down, when my lights were so dim You made me go on when I felt like givin' in You have been my fire to warm this heart of stone You stopped me from feelin' lost and on my own You must have been through college, got a lovin' degree You ripped away my mental chains and set this poor boy free You are a powerhouse of energy You are a powerhouse of love Dealin' with what's right in front of you Your are a powerhouse of love When I was in pain, lyin' in my troubled bed You would be my jester, makin' me laugh instead You've been my guiding light and you have turned the switch on You made me see positive when my whole damn world went wrong You are a powerhouse of energy You are a powerhouse of love Dealin' with what's right in front of you You are a powerhouse of love |

This is our last supper together
The last time we share in this intimacy We have created a suffering circle that threatens to Tighten and destroy you and me Yesterday I flicked through the snapshots we Kept to remember the tender times Each little picture and each little memory should bring back a smile But now brings back a tear of regret Chorus Letting go is so hard Letting go is so hard So let us love tonight, thinking now of our greatest moments before we release from this death in life drink the wine and take my hand Is it a crime to live this lie? I know that we will never share, share this love again But we both must be starting again, each one of us too strong in these chains to remain This tug of war has weakened our purpose and pulled us apart from beginning to end |

It's not my fault if you didn't live out your
youthful dreams Now you want to backtrack, how different it all seems Love seems to be like alcohol, evaporates before your eyes The bonds that once were welcome, become the chains we despise Chorus When you cross that line, there's no turning back When you cross that line, don't come knocking at my door Everyone has got to take some responsibility The grass is rarely bluer, but you wouldn't take it from me Finding out the hard way can be an endless affair I'd stop you if I could, but then again, I wouldn't dare I'm telling you when I say these words, that they're not spoken in bitterness That destructive emotion has long ago left and these tears that cleanse the soul and let me start afresh When you cross that line, what more can I say When you cross that line, we are no more We are no more |

They were guardians of the breath
Trusted with those precious chances Keeping Gaia from the fear of death Balances must be defended To take only what they must (Borrowed from the future) Live in lovers of a global home (Our children will remember) Guardians slept while comfort came The vapours poison, the acid rain fell The spirit cut from earthly bounds The creature stirred the pain How much abuse can she take (Awake from your dreamtime) The lines are drawn our justice awaits (Will the guardians surrender) The forest bare, a desert born The life pushed out They sold her cheaply All for a shilling for next weeks treat A marvel that had taken ten thousand years To take only what they must (Borrowed from the future) Live in lovers of a global home (Our children will remember) They are guardians of the breath Trusted with those precious chances They are guardians of the breath Balances must be defended |

Looking at you now, you seem just a shadow
You had the energy to recharge our batteries I suppose your success became your security Darkness is not what you need You were the one who refused to give up You were the one who lifted us, lifted us off our knees Now it's our turn to give you some help Fresh air that's just what you need Not the stale bread from the failing bitter table It's so hard Where's the justice we cry It's there and will follow us 'til the day we die, 'til the day that we die Looking at you know, you seem just a shadow You had the energy and you recharged our batteries Now it's our turn to give you some help Fresh air that's just what you need Now it's our turn to give you some help Fresh air that's just what you need That's just what you need |

It's been so long since I slept
The good book at bedtime no longer suffices The bottle of whiskey just one of my vices It might help me to sleep There you are with your golden brown skin The sparkling pacifico catching your chin The salt on your marguerita will stick to your lips Lips that I'd die for a fleeting stolen kiss My mind wanders to you and things that we might do But you're just another illusion My mind wanders to you You couldn't live with someone in dreamland Toothpaste from Harrods when the corner shop will do A friend giving a lift becomes a chauffeur for two The grandest illusions to hang on to There you are with your golden brown skin The sparkling pacifico catching your chin The salt on your marguerita will stick to your lips Lips that I'd die for a fleeting stolen kiss My mind wanders to you and things that we might do But you're just another illusion My mind wanders to you Wanders to you and the things that we might do But you're just another illusion My mind wanders to you (Come with me) (Wander with me) There you are with your London grey skin The light from the streetlamp corrupting your chin The cream from a guinness lingers on your lips Lips that would beg for a meaningful kiss My mind wanders to you and all that we might do But you're just another illusion My mind wanders to you Wanders to you and all that we might do But you're just another illusion My mind wanders to you Wanders to you Wanders to you |

The throwing of your mental clothes wasn't ever your intention
The malady within your heart has no cure and prevention There are those who move clouds Those who move clouds Heard it murmured in a far off crowd Those who move clouds I wish that I could offer you a chance to change direction But you know that pathways must be followed to near destruction There are those who move clouds Those who move clouds Heard it murmured in a far off crowd Those who move clouds There are those who will patronise and compromise your position They can't feel the forceful hand of predetermined destination There are those who move clouds Those who move clouds Heard it murmured in a far off crowd Those who move clouds I can feel the forceful hand And it won't let me change direction no And there's this hunger inside of me And it won't and it won't no it won't stop its aching And I can feel it inside of my head the forceful hand And it won't let me change direction And there's this hunger and it won't let me And it won't let me stop and it won't let me stop this aching no |
