Lift Me Up
by Howard Jones I've got your picture in the palm of my hand And I'm squeezin' it I'm teasin' it I'd follow you to the edge of this land But I'm losin' it, confusin' it This is a man who has lost control Lost the road to a higher soul Stop me from fallin' you know I need you To lift me up Won't you lift me up yeah Won't you take me to a place that I once knew And when you can see You've always been there for me I'm waiting for your love There'll be a time when all our rhythms of love Are shakin' it we're makin' it There'll be a place where life is livin' to give This harmony it will come to me And when I think of those who love you now If I had my chances again somehow Stop me from fallin' you know I need you To lift me up Won't you lift me up yeah Won't you take me to a place that I once knew And when you can see Another side of me I'm waiting for you I'm not eating I'm not sleeping this tension this worry You don't call you don't write me I need your love in a hurry Teach me, Reach me, Meet me, Beat me, Tease me, Please me, Come and seize me This is a man who has lost control Lost the road to a higher soul Catch me from fallin' you know I need you To lift me up Won't you lift me up yeah Won't you take me to a place that I once knew And when you can see You've always been there for me I'm waiting for your love And when you can see The changes I've made in me Well I'm waitin' for, you know I'm waitin' for your love |

The manners of the heart
We watched them grow Did we write everlasting love, in the Hollywood snow The ribbons and the bows Wrapped us with gold Such pressure heaven knows As the fairy tale folds Who heals the broken ones When love has gone You're not the only ones In an older time when the world was small When good men were standing Reaching out for mother love When the ties of blood would cheer the faintest heart Never thought I'd see You fallin' away from me Beneath the darker sky The stars are such a mess Can you forward my good-byes To some new address Who heals the broken ones When love has gone You're not the only ones In an older time when the world was small When good men were standing Reaching out for mother love When the ties of blood would cheer the faintest heart Never thought I'd see You fallin' away from me You can't turn back time We're stranded here Leave the future behind You're not the only ones In an older time when the world was small When good men were standing Reaching out for mother love When the ties of blood would cheer the faintest heart Never thought I'd see You fallin' away from me |

We got the same beat runnin' round
through this crazy town Oh I'm sick and I can't hear it anymore And when we touched as the blood and the rain We'd be shakin' the ground She's sick and there's a way to bring her 'round Show me what you're waitin' for This moment may not rise again And your heart will never know Show me what you're waitin' for The voices may not rise again And the world will never know The party drags us over the edge to a poison shore I can't carry this desire anymore Across the blue sky callin' me with the sweetest demand She talks to me of mercy make me understand Show me what you're waitin' for This moment may not rise again And your heart will never know Show me what you're waitin' for The voices may not rise again And the world will never know And through these years As the tears chase the rain The picture has cleared Can we face the change Show me what you're waitin' for The voices may not rise again And the world will never know Show me what you're waitin' for This moment may not rise again And your heart will never know |

He saw flames in the department store
He tried to get the people to the safety of the door There was no fire the voices were telling him what to do You could see from his face he needs someone To help pull him through The voices are back they're telling him what to do The voices are back they're telling him what to do Ripping through the fabric between his world and the real He's trying to protect you but The knife will know that your flesh meets steel Took him to an institution And they helped the voices go away But he didn't have the right set of papers So they put this boy in jail The voices are back they're telling him what to do The voices are back they're telling him what to do Six weeks turned to twelve He was locked up for twenty-three hours a day The warden found him in his cell His only crime was that he was ill The voices are back they're telling him what to do The voices are back they're telling him what to do |

They're sending back pictures from Saturn and Mars
Maybe this will be our new home Well we seem to have messed up And we must look to the stars Our paradise we seem to have outgrown Join the line Put down your name Get ready for a ride on the exodus plane Well we've been much too greedy Wanting too much to fast But we have to say we are what we are Well the trees and the plants and the animals have gone Long ago Used to be real air to breath, they say so Join the line Put down your name Get ready for a ride on the exodus plane Join the line Put down your name Get ready for new life Anyway it's too late for what might have been Kiss the earth goodbye and get out of here If there's anybody out there Hope they haven't made the same mistakes Turning gold into garbage and a banquet into dustcakes Join the line Put down your name Get ready for a ride on the exodus plane Join the line Put down your name Get ready for new life Join the line Put down your name Get ready for a ride on the exodus plane Get ready for new life |

Tears To Tell
by Howard Jones The time has come to watch you go watch you go We weathered rough storms together Couldn't conceive of the end When I heard of your leavin' It came as a shock and surprise Like the deepest kinds of love Lost on the inside Locked right on the inside What is the greatest expression of love, To let go and wish well But all these finer feelings have left me with tears to tell I couldn't be the one to hold you stop you go It is like stripping the soul Letting all the finest pieces go You know these feelings between us Could not be expressed You will never know my old secrets They are so deeply felt they are so deeply felt What is the greatest expression of love To let go and wish well But all these finer feelings have left me What is the greatest expression of love, To let go and wish well But all these finer feelings have left me with tears to tell Leaving me with my anecdoted and private jokes The memory of a friend You don't seem to know my old secrets They are so deeply felt they are so deeply felt What is the greatest expression of love To let go and wish well But all these finer feelings have left me What is the greatest expression of love To let go and wish well But all these finer feelings have left me with tears to tell But all these finer feelings have left me with tears to tell |

Two Souls
by Howard Jones Whatever happened to the value of our love I've seen you change I've seen it coming slowly, these changes You're not the same It's not too late to start over It's not too late to turn around What are the things important to you? Can't be the money Well I got news for you Two Souls (should be two souls together) Two Souls (in the life that we planned) But you're working obsession is squeezing me Out of your world I'd rather live in a doll's house in a small street Where it always rains You kid yourself you're working all for me But older kids play with bigger trains It's not too late to start over It's not too late to turn 'round It's like we live in separate worlds Can't buy the lost time I want my share of you I want my share of you Two Souls (should be two souls together) Two Souls (in the life that we planned) But you're working obsession is squeezing me Out of your world Can't buy the lost time I want my share of you I want my share of you Two Souls (should be two souls together) Two Souls (in the life that we planned) Out of your world |

You're walkin' 'round like a doll without a head
You should be thinking 'bout how to give your love instead I've seen you lying and cheating your way Then you complain about what all of your friends say You shoot your mouth like you damn well own the world We always have to keep our little white flags unfurled Just try to finish the things that you start Stop thinking with your fists and start thinking with your heart Oh can't you see Oh what you could be now You never listen to me Oh you're like a gun turned on the world Things have to be attempted one step at a time You got to take that poison from your eyes You know the lights are going out in your life Your killing yourself with your own knife Oh can't you see Oh what you could be now You never listen to me Oh you're like a gun turned on the world You don't want a love you need a chaperone You want a first-class alibi You bore the pants off people on the telephone People are sick of your lies You better open your eyes You're like a gun turned on the world, like a gun You're takin' one step forward then two steps back Friendly advice gets treated like a heart attack You can drown in the shallow water of hate Get the sense before it's too late now Oh can't you see Oh what you could be now You never listen to me Oh you're like a gun turned on the world Oh can't you see Oh what you could be now You never listen to me Oh you're like a gun turned on the world |

Give me one last try
Hold on for me Believe my alibi Keep strong Don't set me free Well this weakness makes me wrong I'll show you I can be strong And this time it is for real I know the hurt I've made you feel But I won't let you down No one else would have me 'round You gave your love so honestly Is heaven's grace too good for me I know I've pushed my luck So many times I'm slippin' slowly now Loosin' track, of my mind Well this shadow I've become Will step out to meet the sun And this time it is for real I know the hurt I've made you feel But I won't let you down No one else would have me 'round You gave your love so honestly Is heaven's grace too good for me And when the darkness comes And I lose sight, of the precious world that you put right You've the strength to pull me through One last try I'm asking you And this time it is for real I know the hurt I've made you feel But I won't let you down No one else would have me 'round You gave your love so honestly Is heaven's grace too good for me |

City Song
by Howard Jones It was that night at nowhere, I saw you standing there Darlin' you were hungry for life, an innocent in this land What is it about this city, that brings us all to life Ten millions souls vibrating, They're shimmering in the night You mustn't think of staying, The price is more than you'd think It's giving up the sweetest part of you, For this heartless prize When does a vision of heaven become a living hell Ten million souls vibrating, they're acting it out for real Where do all the lonely people go, When they want some lovin' Where do all the lonely people hide, when they feel like cryin' It was that night at nowhere, a cold glass in your hand Darlin' you were angry with life, a prisoner in this land What is it about this city, that brings us all to life Ten millions souls vibrating, They're shimmering in the night Where do all the lonely people go, When they want some lovin' Where do all the lonely people hide, when they feel like cryin' Where do all the lonely people go, in this crowded city Where do all the lonely people hide, there's no sanctuary Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide Nowhere to handshake, nowhere to smile Won't you talk with me Spend some time and give me life When does a vision of heaven become a living hell Ten million souls vibrating They're shimmering in the night Where do all the lonely people go, in this crowded city Where do all the lonely people hide, there's no sanctuary A vision of heaven A vision of heaven |
