I’m an island in the ocean
free and I belong to no-one At the mercy of the sea the waves play like a symphony crashing in from all directions Ships pass and planes fly over looks like they’re speeding fast but going nowhere and they never seem to notice me no time for new discovery trying to reach their destination ‘cause you can go anywhere you want and you can be whatever you wanna be you can do anything, do anything want but don’t you forget about me Stranded out here in the open walking in the wrong direction in a lonely world of fantasy don’t give up so easily try to make a new connection I can feel it coming, feel it everywhere a kinda strange sensation, something in the air, a million words could never fill a last goodbye so give me one more night |

He’s holding up but sure enough he’s
tearing at the seams, beat up and tried like a little rag doll But he’s old enough and strong enough to remember the man he used to be, the life and soul But when he’s home sitting all alone too drunk to be around anyone too blind to see all the damage done, man that ain’t no way to have fun Somebody said happiness ain’t getting what you want but wanting what you get it’s a state of mind, let yourself go free Everybody’s searching for someone they think they oughta,trying to wanna, never never never really be Cos when you’re home sitting all alone too tired to be around anyone, too blind to see you’re not the only one Man that ain’t no way to have fun |

People fight to make it right to
hold on to that feeling inside and some might say it’s a losing game, be a fool to play; don’t even try But no, not you and I, we make it look so easy Some start off fast and end up last; find their falling at the first but even when the road is long we’re going strong, don’t feel like work And they tell me that I am the luckiest guy cos when it comes to loving, you and I we make it look so easy we don’t have to try at all cos it comes so natural and love can be impossible but we make it look so easy there’s so many who strive through complications to find a simple kinda love like you and I we make it look so easy Easy like the love we make (So Easy) Easy like a summer’s day (So Easy) Easy like a morning breeze (So Easy) Easy like you and me |

I was going nowhere until you came along
and brightened up my day But you were having a moment, somebody had done you wrong, there were tears streaming down your face And I remember so clearly just a few months on, I still think about that day How you did something to me, how it felt so wrong to let you walk away And I’m not one to regret but I know I’m not ready yet to stand aside and watch you slowly slipping through my fingers baby You got my heart on a string, yeah you know ya do If I ever see you again I’m just your toy on a string yeah you know it’s true And I’ll promise you everything One day I thought I saw you, but it was just some girl, she had hair just like yours Going out of my mind, following ghosts down empty stairways and corridors but you’re there behind my eyes when I can’t get to sleep at night Girl I’ve got to get you, girl I’ve got to get you in my life You got my heart on a string, yeah you know ya do If I ever see you again I’m just your toy on a string yeah you know it’s true And I’ll promise you everything You held my heart on a string when I noticed you Like a flower abloom in the spring You can’t deny it Don’t try to fight it When Serendipity comes calling for you When it comes knocking on your door You got my heart on a string, yeah you know ya do If I ever see you again I’m just your toy on a string yeah you know it’s true And I’ll promise you everything You held my heart on a string when I noticed you Like a flower abloom in the spring I’ll be your toy on a string yes I promise you If I ever see you again |

I’m on Fire and I’m digging in
Reaching higher climbing in the wind You can’t stop me from where I wanna go From the city rooftops to the streets down below and not the even rain can wash me away ‘cause I’ll be back again some sunny day The World’s on fire and it’s closing in Reaching higher climbing in the wind You can’t stop it from where it wants to go From the city rooftops to the people down below See lovers leaping on a blood red sky and a phoenix rising by dawn’s early light As the fire rages like a bull through the streets the disaster movie no one will ever see And there’s no cheating fate, no standing in the way of history repeating once again ‘cause there ain’t no stopping the fire when it’s closing in Reaching higher climbing in the wind You can’t stop it from where it wants to go Up on the rooftops to the people down below and not even the rain can wash me away ‘cause I’ll be back again some sunny day The World’s on fire and it’s closing in Reaching higher climbing in the wind You can’t stop it from where it wants to go From the city rooftops to the people down below |

Making lead out of gold,
the only alchemy I know But ever since you floated in you got right under my skin leaving fingerprints sparkling on my soul See me standing like a stone, don’t leave me alone but don’t you let these heavy hands break you’re butterfly wings when you’re flying so close to me And you’re a blaze of colour when I’m blind to everything Take me dancing on the city breeze Climbing ladders in the rain, I just keep slipping back off again But you’re a little ray of hope and I’ll hold on to the rope just as long as you keep calling out my name I’m on my way up to the top, don’t let me drop but don’t you let these heavy hands break your butterfly wings when you’re flying so close to me And you’re a blaze of colour when I’m blind to everything Take me dancing on the city breeze |

I am sending you a message
‘cause it’s all that I can do to be near you and with you constantly So I’m writing you a letter while the world is fast asleep, thinking of you and longing for you endlessly Under the snow my hopes are melting filling my eyes with days gone by So go it alone, will I make it alone till I see you again? So I’m sending you a message ‘cause it’s all that I can do to be near you and with you constantly So I’m writing you a letter while the world is fast asleep, thinking of you and longing for you endlessly Far from the city you can see starlight Shining like diamonds aloft in the sky Here at the top of the earth you’re never far away from me Follow the sun to where it leads you I’ll carry you home with every step So go it alone, will I make it alone till I see you again? |

Feelin’ good, feel alright
Do you feel the electricity tonight? the countdown’s started, so get on your lightspeed shoes We’re staying up all night in a rocket to the moon The world’s gone crazy but we’re doing fine See it through the window getting smaller all the time 2 feet off the dancefloor bustin’ astronaut moves Out on the starlight highway in a rocket to the moon I thought that I was out there, I thought that I was free I thought that I was high till I found zero gravity so come on baby, oh you know you can’t refuse I got a one way ticket for the rocket to the moon You could be forgiven, given all these shooting stars for wishing you were richer, so much richer than you are but floating in the ether nothing’s ever as it seems and here in outer-space my friend no-one can hear you scream - ow! ...in a rocket to the moon, rocket to the moon. |

I got the feeling when I woke this
morning it’s gonna be a sunny day Open road, ain’t no sign of stopping, nothing but green lights all the way Yesterday feels like a lifetime ago when you’ve got love on your mind Finally I see the other half of me there in your eyes You give every dream in me new life, like the sunshine breaks a perfect open sky Every doubt I held onto seems to melt away with you So I’m holding on, yes I’m hanging on now I know you’re the only one Sometimes I feel like you were born half crazy or maybe you were just too blind How did I miss the sweetest love that anyone put on me - the truth realised. Standing aside I saw you wasting your time while I was keeping the faith you could never see the lonely missing piece here in my eyes I never thought that through it all I’d be the one to change You showed me colour when all I saw was black and white, I’m alive |

Behind these bright deceiving eyes,
behind these lips forever smiling lies the meaning of despair like a fugitive in hiding Today I wish that I would find a way to change the way I am then maybe it might still be yesterday, before it all began Now that the light is fading, this is the only thing I know how to reach reach, how to touch, and call my own There’s so much I’m yet to know in the art of letting go Under dark December skies somewhere my happiness is calling like a sun that never shines, solemn sleepless till the morning And so I live to fight another day and see what I’ve become I could live forever in a yesterday or I could turn away and run Out of the arms of sorrow into the open arms of hope Out of reach, out of touch and on my own Time is all there is to know in the art of letting go |

I know if I get through today I’ll be alright
‘cause things only fall into place when you arrive And I feel it - feel it take hold and it won’t let me go And I want it like nothing I’ve ever known. I get a high on you baby and I never wanna come down I get a high on you baby whenever you come around Sometimes I sit in awake for days at a time When the clock reaches quarter to eight I’ll be home dry And I need it in the blood in my vein just to keep me feeling sane And I want it like it’s the last breath that I’ll ever own I get a high on you baby and I never wanna come down I get a high on you baby whenever you come around Try as I might to replace the taste of your kiss and the world it created I know that I’ll never escape this longing for you, it goes on and on. Cos I need it in the blood in my vein just to keep me feeling sane And I want it like it’s the last breath that I’ll ever own, I get a high. Cos you’re in my blood and in my vein, you’re every drug I’ll ever take baby I get a high on you baby and I never never never wanna come down I get a high on you baby whenever you come around |

Why is my heart so bothered by the spring wind?
It's a mystery I can't explain Cold cold night, rain drops in black and white Looking back it feels like a dream The picture remains caught in a frame, so How, how can I get through Find a way to see through yesterday's blues? Cos I, I could never see you like how others see you As Yesterday's News Long have I, I've lived inside a turning pain Through painted smiles, they say your name Oh gone the night, the stars leave without your trace Looking back it's still just a dream The colours may fade but memories will reign, so How, how can I get through Find a way to see through yesterday's mood? Cos I, I could never see you like how others see you As Yesterday's News Ah, so how, how can I get through Find a way to see through yesterday's blues? Cos I, I could never see you as just a morning read-through in Yesterday's News |
