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 Chorus 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 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 |

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 |

And the fear goes on shadows And the tear flows on for nothing And the fear goes on shadows And the tear flows on for nothing Under his nose was a dream come true Been there all the time and he almost knew And the fear goes on shadows And the tear flows on for nothing And the fear goes on shadows And the tear flows on for nothing Under his nose was a dream come true Been there all the time and he almost knew Thoughts of people in misfortune stopped him doing things well His duty was to use it - left his pearl in the shell |

We all want peace we don't want misery So many of us wont let us be these things But we only are confused We feel stronger as we grow older But still we feel bemused Always asking questions We're always asking questions And the temptation is to just step back Well we give what we lack We will always be asking questions Why rich? Why poor? Always asking questions We're always asking questions Why this? Why that? We're always asking questions Why this? Why that? Always asking Don't stop asking Don't stop asking questions Always asking questions In answer to this question is just shut up You don't know I don't know Nobody knows This is an answer to every question This is a place to begin Always asking questions Always asking questions Why this? Why that? Why this? Why that? Always asking questions (why this why that?) Always asking questions (why this why that?) Always asking questions (why this why that?) Words: William Bryant Music: 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... |

The old man said to me Said don't always take life so seriously Play the flute And dance and sing your song Try and enjoy the here and now The future will take care of itself somehow The grass is never greener over there Time will wear away the stone Gets the hereditary bone CHORUS: Don't try to live your life in one day Don't go speed your time away Don't try to live your life in one day Don't go speed your time away The old man said to me Said you can't change the world single handedly Raise a glass enjoy the scenery Pretend the water is champagne And fill my glass again and again While the wolves are gathering round your door Time will wear away the stone Gets the hereditary bone CHORUS The old man said to me Said don't always take life so seriously Play the flute And dance and sing your song Try and enjoy the here and now The future will take care of itself somehow The grass is never greener over there Time will wear away the stone Gets the hereditary bone I tried to live my life in one day Don't go speed your time away I bit off more than I can chew Only so much you can do Wolves are gathering round my door Ask them in and invite some more I tried to live my life in one day Don't go speed your time away Don't try to live your life in one day |

You can look at the menu, but you just can't eat You can feel the cushion, but you can't have a seat You can dip your foot in the pool, but you can't have a swim You can feel the punishment, but you can't commit the sin CHORUS: And you want her, and she wants you We want everyone And you want her and she wants you No one, no one, no one ever is to blame You can build a mansion, but you just can't live in it You're the fastest runner but you're not allowed to win Some break the rules, and let you cut the cost The insecurity is the thing that won't get lost CHORUS You can see the summit but you can't reach it It's the last piece of the puzzle but you just can't make it fit Doctor says you're cured but you still feel the pain Aspirations in the clouds but your hopes go down the drain CHORUS No one ever is to blame, No one ever is to blame |

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 |

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 CHORUS 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 This is love worth waiting for Something special, something pure This is love worth waiting for Bitterness will die for sure Something special, something pure This is love worth waiting for |

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 |

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 |

Standing tough under stars and stripes We can tell This dream's in sight You've got to admit it At this point in time that it's clear The future looks bright On that train all graphite and glitter Undersea by rail Ninety minutes from New York to Paris Well by seventy-six we'll be A.O.K. Chorus What a beautiful world this will be What a glorious time to be free Get your ticket to that wheel in space While there's time The fix is in You'll be a witness to that game of chance in the sky You know we've got to win Here at home we'll play in the city Powered by the sun Perfect weather for a streamlined world There'll be spandex jackets for everyone On that train all graphite a glitter Undersea by rail Ninety minutes from New York to Paris (More leisure for artists everywhere) A just machine to make big decisions Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision We'll be clean when their work is done We'll be eternally free yes and eternally young |

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 |
