I can't stand it for another day
When you live so many miles away Nothing here is gonna make me stay You took me over, let me find a way I sold my house I sold my motor, too All I want is to be next to you. I'd rob a bank Maybe steal a plane You took me over Think I'm goin' insane What can I do All I want is to be next to you What can I do All I want is to be next to you I've had a thousand girls or maybe more But I've never felt like this before But I just don't know what's come over me You took me over, take a look at me What can I do All I want is to be next to you What can I do All I want is to be next to you All I want is to be next to you All I want is to be next to you All I want is to be next to you I saw my doctor he said give it time I got this feeling, gonna lose my mind When all it is is just a love affair You took me over baby, take me there What can I do All I want is to be next to you What can I do All I want is to be next to you What can I do All I want is to be next to you What can I do All I want is to be next to you All I want is to be next to you All I want is to be next to you All I want is to be next to you All I want is to be next to you |

I don't drink coffee, I take tea my dear
I like my toast done on the side And you can hear it in my accent when I talk I'm an Englishman in New York See me walking down Fifth Avenue A walking cane here at my side I take it everywhere I walk I'm an Englishman in New York I'm an alien I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York I'm an alien I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York If "manners maketh man" as someone said Then he's the hero of the day It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile Be yourself no matter what they say I'm an alien I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York I'm an alien I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety You could end up as the only one Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society At night a candle's brighter than the sun Takes more than combat gear to make a man Takes more than license for a gun Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can A gentleman will walk but never run If "manners maketh man" as someone said Then he's the hero of the day It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile Be yourself no matter what they say I'm an alien I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York I'm an alien I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York |

Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart Every time that I come near her I just lose my nerve As I've done from the start Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on Do I have to tell the story Of a thousand rainy days since we first met It's a big enough umbrella But it's always me that ends up getting wet Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way But my silent fears have gripped me Long before I reach the phone Long before my tongue has tripped me Must I always be alone? Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on Every little thing Every little thing ... |

Early one morning
with time to kill I borrowed Jeb's rifle and sat on the hill I saw a lone rider crossing the plain I drew a bead on him to practice my aim my brother's rifle went off in my hand a shot rang out across the land the horse he kept running the rider was dead I hung my head I hung my head I set off running to wake from the dream my brother's rifle went into the stream I kept on running into the salt landsand that's where they found me My head in my hands the sheriff he asked me why had I run then it came to me just what I had done and all for no reason just one piece of lead I hung my head I hung my head Here in the courthouse the whole town is there I see the judge high up in his chair "Explain to the courtroom what went through your mind and we'll ask the jury what verdict they find" I said "I felt the power of death over life I orphaned his children I widowed his wife I beg their forgiveness I wish I was dead" I hung my head I hung my head Early one morning with time to kill I see the gallows up on the hill and out in the distance a trick of the brain I see a lone rider crossing the plain he's come to fetch me to see what they done we'll ride together til kingdom come I pray for God's mercy for soon I'll be dead I hung my head I hung my head |

You'll walk unscathed through musket fire
No ploughman's blade will cut thee down No cutlass wound will mark thy face And you will be my ain true love And you will be my ain true love And as you walk through death's dark veil The cannon's thunder can't prevail And those who hunt thee down will fail And you will be my ain true love And you will be my ain true love Asleep inside the cannon's mouth The captain cries, 'here comes the rout!' They'll seek to find me north and south I've gone to find my ain true love The field is cut and bleeds to red The cannon balls fly 'round my head The infirmary man may count me dead When I've gone to find my ain true love I've gone to find my ain true love |

When We Dance
If I could break down these walls And shout my name at Heaven's gate I'd take these hands and I'd destroy The dark machineries of fate Cathedrals are broken Heaven's no longer above Hellfire's a promise away I'd still be saying, "I'm still in love.." "Still in love.." "Still in love.." "Still in love with you" He won't love you Like I love you He won't care for you this way He'll mistreat you with disdain Come and live with me We'll have children of our own I would love you more than life If you'll come and be my wife When we dance (I'm gonna love you night and day) Angels will run and hide their wings (I'm gonna try in every way) (I'm gonna find a place to live) (Give you all I got to give) (I will love you more than life) (If you'll only be my wife) When we dance (I will love you more than life) Angels run and hide their wings (If you'll only be my wife) (I'm gonna love you night and day) (I'm gonna try in every way) When we dance (I'm gonna find a place to live) Angels run and hide their wings (Give you all I got to give) (I will love you more than life) (If you'll only be my wife) When we dance....... (I'm gonna find a place to live) (Give you all I got to give) (I will love you more than life) (If you'll only be my wife) (I'm gonna love you night and day) (I'm gonna try in every way) I had a dream last night Dreamt you were by my side Walking with me baby My heart was filled with pride I had a dream last night |

The fox had done running
And the beast is at bay He'd run them in circles By the end of the day They chased him through bramble They chased him through the fields They could chase him forever But the fox would not yield And some saw her shadow On the crest of a hill And the hounds were distracted Away from the kill One day we'll reach a great ocean At the end of a pale afternoon And we lay down our heads just like we were sleeping Controlled by the drag of the moon We ran through the forests And we ran through the streams We ran through the heather 'Til we ran in our dreams And you were my lover And I was your beau We ran like the river What else did we know? One day we'll reach a great ocean At the end of a pale afternoon And the dogs are all worn out And the horses all lame Oh the hunters they're hunted At the end of the game Our love was a river A wild mountain stream In a tumbling fury On the edge of a dream And they chased us through the brambles And they chased us through the fields They'd chased us forever But the heart would not yield When the fox has done running At the end of the day I'm ready to answer I'm ready to pay And this river's done running And my time will come soon Carried to the great ocean By the drag of the moon |

Now that I have found you
In the coolth of your evening smile The shade of your parasol And your love flows through me Though I drink at your pool I burn for you, I burn for You and I are lovers When night time folds around our bed In peace we sleep entwined And your love flows through me Though an ocean soothes my head I burn for you, I burn for Stars will fall from dark skies As ancient rocks are turning Quiet fills the room And your love flows through me Though I lie here so still I burn for you, I burn for you I burn |

This place has changed for good
Your economic theory said it would It's hard for us to understand We can't give up our jobs the way we should Our blood has stained the coal We tunnelled inside the nation's soul We matter more than pounds and pence Your economic theory makes no sense One day in a nuclear age They may understand our rage They build machines that they can't control And bury the waste in a great big hole Power was to become cheap and clean Grimy faces were never seen But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen We work the black seam together The seam lies underground Three million years of pressure packed it down We walk through ancient forest lands And light a thousand cities with our hands Your dark satanic mills Have made redundant all our mining skills You can't exchange a six inch band For all the poison streams in Cumberland One day in a nuclear age They may understand our rage They build machines that they can't control And bury the waste in a great big hole Power was to become cheap and clean Grimy faces were never seen But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen We work the black seam together Our concious lives run deep You cling onto your mountain while we sleep This way of life is part of me There is no price so only let me be And should the children weep The turning world will sing their souls to sleep When you have sunk without a trace The universe will suck me into place One day in a nuclear age They may understand our rage They build machines that they can't control And bury the waste in a great big hole Power was to become cheap and clean Grimy faces were never seen But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen We work the black seam together |

She don't like to hear me sing
She don't want no diamond ring She don't want to drive my car She won't let me go that far She don't like the way I look She don't like the things I cook She don't like the way I play She don't like the things I say But oh, the games we play She's too good for me She's too good for me She don't like the jokes I make She don't like the drugs I take She don't like the friends I got She don't like my friends a lot She don't like the clothes I wear She don't like the way I stare She don't like the tales I tell She don't like the way I smell But oh, the games we play She's too good for me She's too good for me Would she prefer it if I washed myself more often than I do Would she prefer it if I took her to an opera or two I could distort myself to be the perfect man She might prefer me as I am She don't want to meet my folks She don't want to hear my jokes She don't want to fix my tie She don't even want to try She don't like the books I read She don't like the way I feed She don't want to save my life She don't want to be my wife But oh, the games we play She's too good for me She's too good for me |
