There were times when I thought there was nothin' in this world
There was nothin' in this world for me Everywhere I looked there was trouble in my life Trouble far as I could see Hey there's a man doin' alright What's his philosophy? He come over here and whispered in my ear You're the Buddha, you're the Christ, You're the Mohammed, and the Mother Mary So who am I so nervous and shy To be brilliant and talented It's the light not the dark that frightens us most And the power lies in our head You playin' small doesn't help at all The world need the things you give Switch yourself on, turn the pressure on You're the Buddha, you're the Christ, You're the Mohammed, and the Mother Mary There are times when I think there's plenty in this world There's plenty in this world for me Anytime I see trouble in my life It becomes an opportunity Now there's a chance to make the world dance You do it unconsciously Help this Winter turn into Spring You're the Buddha, you're the Christ, You're the Mohammed, and the Mother Mary |

Heaven is a somewhere locked inside and I must find the key
Wish I'd never locked the door Ordinary things in life are where this heaven likes to be Hold the sky, feet on the floor Hold the sky, feet on the floor We make our sun to shine We make our space and time We make the weather We make it change Hell is not somewhere but a state of mind I choose to be When my faith in life has gone Cruelty rebounds to hurt itself puts shackles on the free Vicious circle carries on Hold the sky, feet on the floor We make our sun to shine We make our space and time We make the weather We make it change We make the weather We make it change Time to judge the act don't judge the actor of the circumstance Time to free compassion's world Life is not the end we're passing through like bubbles on the sea Time to learn and time to mend Hold the sky, feet on the floor We make our sun to shine We make our space and time We make the weather We made a change We make the weather We make a change |

Soon the warm night breezes roll on in
A steamy blanket for the shore This is streetlight time You said you were mine So the fool believes What the night conceives The light of love is in your eyes Is in your smile again Is in your life again Was a time when love grew cold for you Turned your back on memories I was there for you I will see you through Darkest hours fade The promises we made Were not the kind to fade away We'll face another day We'll face another day When that was yesterday Will the ocean rollers bring you home Or will they take you out to sea This is real-time And you are still mine The fool that loves his dreams Breaks the cruelest schemes The light of love is in your eyes Is in your smile again Is in your life again Back in your smile again Back in your life again |

On your wedding day With the one you love To share the way A life ahead of you Youth left behind Go out and make yourself Some memories Dispair and pleasure Faced at every turn And there's children To save from harm's way Three thousand doorways Reveal a thousand more Treasure each moment Forever more I promise to love you and do my best for you I need you to help me to find my strength Walk with me all through my life My lover my husband my wife Share this journey with me Write this story with me Life comes and it will go And there's no time to sit and watch the grass grow When we are old and grey you know we'll say We went and made ourselves some memories We're starting our life We're starting together now I need you to help me to find my strength Walk with me all through my life My lover my husband my wife Share this journey with me Write this story with me |

I don't know but I've been told
There's a place where dreams are bought and sold I'd like to steal me a dream with you Together we can sail the oceans blue Do you feel like I do? Don't get me wrong But I need your love And I feel like dreaming on But I wake to find you gone Hope you like the things I say I look forward to the day When I can take you into my life One day you just might say you'll be my wife And I don't want to push I don't want to rush you But I need your love And I feel like dreaming on But I wake to find you gone And I feel like dreaming ... Throw this caution to the wind Be my lover, be my friend If it goes wrong we'll start anew What else are we going to do? And I feel like dreaming on But I wake to find you gone And I feel like dreaming on But I wake to find you gone And I feel like dreaming on |

If you find a time when things just seem to fall apart
And there's no way to keep a cheery face When the sight of your own reflection only breaks your heart And all your dreams have given up the chase Pick up the telephone You know I'm always home Any old time of night or day Let me be the first to know Let me be the first to know Let me be the first to know If you find a time when you just have to walk away Because of a call to pastures new You're in need of some fresh words to wish you on your way You need to fly on up and touch the moon Sharing this temporary weight No time to hesitate I will be everything you need Let me be the first to know Let me be the first to know Let me be the first to know Let me be the first ... We're water breaking on an endless wave Potential bursting from the sea Compassion is what sets our minds apart Be cheerful when you break The chains of morality Oo, sharing this welcome weight Don't even hesitate I will be everything you need Let me be the first to know Let me be the first to know Let me be the first to know Let me be the first to know Let me be the first one to know |

What steals the force from your life What holds us ransom tonight What stops you seeing yourself? Only fear can stand On potential's hands This is the greatest day of your life If you make it And the old spells you know They can be broken Nothing to fear Nothing to fear The greatest faults can be beaten The grandest problems defeated Impossible choices completed Infinite pain will be treated Only fear can stand On potential's hands This is the greatest day of your life And we made it And the old spells you know 'Cause they can be broken Nothing to fear Nothing to fear This is the greatest day of your life And we've made it Break the old spells Oh, let them be broken Nothing to fear No, nothing to fear This is the greatest day Break the old spells and throw them away Break the old spells Don't y'know they can be broken No, Nothing to fear Nothing to fear Nothing to fear Nothing to fear |

Bring me down to earth
Take this weight from tired shoulders Kiss me tenderly Let me drown in waves of your love You part the trees so I Can cherish things that matter Your single voice sounds through A room of din and chatter Oh take me home When the streetlights shine above Safe in your arms So simple to me Safe in your arms Oh so temporary Safe in you arms Oh so tenderly Not one of the lonely tonight Flying hectically Through a cloud of buts and maybes Passing frantically Over nights and days unended You turn my head and laugh When my world turns sour You give me strength to pass Through my darkest hour Oh take me home When the streetlights shine above |

Here in the dark, the shadows, they haunt me,
Here in the shade, oh the bright lights, they blind me Yesterday is gone, time for moving on, Here's a brand new start, gonna base it on my heart, It's another day, I've got to find a better way, Won't you help me? Failing that, If you have to go, It's all up to me, I know I just wanna change my world, But from the inside, I just wanna live my life, And make this place, make this time, For all our lives to be, Respected Here in the cold, light of day, this vision, Paints a different world, a world of the heart, And I'd like to live there I've been on the run, from all the people I've become, I want to shed this skin, and start it all again, I want to draw a line, in the sand for one last time, Will you help me? Failing that, If you have to go, It's all up to me I know I just wanna change my world, But from the inside, I just wanna live my life, With some hope, and to do what's right, I just wanna change this world, And make this place, make this time, For all our lives to be, Respected |

Will I taste of sugar or of cold wet stone Hope the shell will break on a paper dinner plate Ooh not a headstone How long does it take to change the man How much sun to melt a frozen life How long will it take for the mask to slip And find a way to mend this broken heart I've said too much, I've opened up I've spilled my guts, I can't go back, no I won't go back, no I shouldn't ever go back to you.

So we're lookin' out on the world and what do we see
Another screen full of horror, another atrocity, What can I do as simple man who wants to make a difference, Wants to do what he can, not just talk about it. Stone drops in a pond, stirs the sediment, sends ripples, to the edge of the world, A teenage boy with a rubber band around his arm, finds a vein and a back road into the dark and stops the pain. Another chance, another day to mend, to change, to start again A young woman with a deadly belt around her waist, Steps on the bus with no regret for her life and the lives she will take, A leader in the rapture of his absolute right will not connect with a young man wrapped in the flag, in a black bag. Voice raised in a room of silence, conquers fear, takes action, starts the journey, starts the journey Baby born with an open mind and a trusting face has no regard for distinction, says to have hope is to be human Another chance, another day to mend, to change, to start again Another chance, another day Another chance, another day to mend, to change, to start again Another chance, another day Another chance, another day to mend, to change, to start again Another chance, another day to mend, to change, to start again |

Ride the wild one cowboy in the rodeo
Love like crazy juliet and romeo Living only to consume Bruising hearts collecting gloom Seems no place to hide away From the hammer and caress Dress with passion Fashion for the parking lot Make some action Pushing time out of the clock Take away identity Parcel up what's left of me Water down the youthful drop Call the sane insanity All I want is to live with you All I want is to cry with you Dance til sunrise Reggae til the cows come home Fight the bigot Champion you're not alone I can sort of work things out Juggling the fear and doubt Even when it's watertight In the end I have to say All I want is to live with you All I want is to cry with you I can sort of work things out Juggling the fear and doubt Even when it's watertight In the end I have to say I have to say Ride the wild one cowboy in the rodeo Love like crazy Juliet and Romeo |

Things Can Only Get Better
by 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...

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? |

For feasts at the table A life of misery Ending with a shock Brutal murder (brutal murder) All hands to the slaughter Mass torture All hands to the knife And I can hear the screams With the knife, the jolt, the wring They must follow in our dreams Carrying a twisted sting Children's stories with their farmyard favourites At the table in a different disguise Don't talk to me of health Or something someone else will do We're talking about the act Of taking life for me and you And I hear their screams |

He arrived on the scene
With no past and no future He seemed to know your dreams Replace tears with laughter Street corner whispers Would mention his name Selfish? Benevolent? What was his game Some say he's perfect Some say a spy A hidden power They all wonder why The rumors mounted But still no fact? I need to find out Some say perfect hidden power We all wonder why Questions unanswered Suspicion alerted I went round to his place If felt quite deserted I climbed the stairs to where His body lay without motion No spirit lives in there The cord had been broken His skin was reptile No life in there Not young not old A long hollow glare His breath had stopped No hearts beat there Is this a man Should I believe hidden power They all wondered why My attention was caught By a sound from the door Panic gripped the mind What lay in store A being stared at me Benevolent, not cold Automaton - He is controlled His skin was reptile..... Automaton - No life in there No past and no future Is this a man Automaton - No life in there No past and not future Is this a man |

His knowledge would be tapped The link was based on a respect On their lives they would reflect A perfect state of non-attachment Was striven for and claimed as fact The younger grew and learnt his lesson well All his ideals were intact Why look for the key in another The answer lay in his own heart Won't find yourself in some other It always was there right at the start But power it corrupted That's where attachment starts The power had erupted The spell will crack As each mental bond was broken Strength grew in the young man's heart What began as love not passion Had left a seed in his heart Why look for the key in another ... |

Who cannot leave this earth The attachments bind so tightly, not a chance Not a chance of a new birth The river gently beckons But the answer is no Gripping their illusions They cannot let them go Hunger for the flesh Leads them to a weaker heart Mortals who imprisoned themselves Let them have a new start Wishing to hold onto life and all its games Singing their lament song Holding back the change They came here for to dance To learn and not to cling Holding onto life As if it were the important thing Hunger for the flesh Hunger for security Caught up in the mesh Caught up for eternity Hunger for the flesh Hunger for security Caught up in the mesh Caught up for eternity The river gently beckons But the answer is no Gripping their illusions They cannot let them go Hunger for the flesh Leads them to a weaker heart Mortals who imprison themselves Let them have a new start Let them have a new start Hunger for the flesh Hunger for security Caught up in the mesh Caught up for eternity Hunger for the flesh Hunger for security Caught up in the mesh Holding back the change |

I was walking down the street
With my old friend Luke And the strangest thing we saw There was a flash like dynamite And we fell down to the floor And as we looked up this weird dude stood I guess he was standing about four feet five With a nonchalance and a joie de vivre His face was grinning from side to side Chorus Well he said button up and tighten your lip Keep a check on what you say Those crazy words you fling from your mouth Are going to bounce back on you some day Now several years pass I thought nothing more It was down to a nine to five grind I was shuffling round to my old friend's house I had party on my mind While chatting this chick A guerilla muscled in A brace of henchmen right behind My blood boiled hard I'll give you a piece of my mind And this guy appeared by my side Don't you know what he said Chorus I was walking down the street with my old friend Luke We were getting into a bit of a heavy scene He say yes and I say no He say what do you mean I pulled my piece and he pulled his We stared each other right in the eye There was a flash like dynamite And this guy appeared by our side Chorus |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

I could be someone you need. wrap you in blankets on dark winter nights. be your best confidante, pay the right compliment. I could be someone you need We had coffee on 3rd Street and talked for a time I still have your letter I know every line. I hope this ain't comming from way out of the blue 'cos I got to thinking and I though of you I could be someone you need keep you from burning in the hot summer sun roll you in clover a coat for your shoulder I could be someone you need You need someone there when the world isn't fair or it's all just to good to be true Someone to care for you issue a dare to you when the moment comes you need to fly, fly I could be someone you need wrap you in blankets on dark winter nights be your best confidante pay the right compliment I could be someone ... you need |

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 let me paint
The colours of your mind The love that remains wont fade over time You'll be alright So baby don't cry I'll be the sunset in your sky I'll be the soft winds you feel passing by So chin up my darlin' Ill be there on that distant horizon That hurts me so But I must go You let me be the person that I am Through my confusion you helped me stand I'll be alright So baby don't cry I'll be the sunset in your sky I'll be the soft winds you feel passing by So chin up my darling I'll be there on that distant horizon That hurts me so But I must go So chin up my darlin' I'll be there on that distant horizon It hurts be so But I must go I must go I will search every star 'till I find where you are And take you home So chin up my darlin' I'll be there on that distant horizon It hurts me so But I must go I must go |

Tomorrow is... tomorrow is now
You think the past is behind you But baby what's that on your back It looks to me like you're draggin' it around like a heavy pack Now we don't live in the present We're to busy hangin' on To what's been and gone so it comes again singin' the same old song Singin' na na-na na na Let it go oh oh Tomorrow is... tomorrow is now Tomorrow is... tomorrow is now What are you going to ask for What are you going to create It's in you hands to build your own world forget about fate And I don't need to remind you Life is short and life is sweet And before you even know it past and future gonna meet Oh, every day and every way Good to go oh oh Tomorrow is... tomorrow is now Tomorrow is... tomorrow is now Tomorrow is... tomorrow is now Tomorrow is... tomorrow is now Not much to say It's all been said, anyway Not much to think about Just let go of yesterday Singin' na na-na na na Singin' na na-na na na Let it go oh oh Tomorrow is... tomorrow is now Tomorrow is... tomorrow is now Tomorrow is... tomorrow is now Tomorrow is... tomorrow is now |

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 |

Hide And Seek
by Howard Jones There was a time when there was nothing at al Nothing at all, just a distant hum There was a being and he lived on his own He had no one to talk to, and nothing to do He drew up the plans, learnt to work with his hands A million years passed by and his work was done And his words were these... Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see Hope you find it, hope you find it Hope you find me in you So she had built her elaborate home With it's ups and it's downs, its rains and its sun She decided that her work was done, time to have fun and she found a game to play Then as part of the game She completely forgot where she'd hidden herself And she spent the rest of her time Trying to find the parts Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see Hope you find it, hope you find it Hope you find me in you There was a time when there was nothing at all, nothing at all Just a distant hum |

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 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 What is Love anyway, Does anybody love anybody anyway What is Love anyway, Does anybody love anybody anyway 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 What is Love anyway, Does anybody love anybody anyway What is Love anyway, Does anybody love anybody anyway |
