- Albums: How Did This Happen And What Does It Now Mean
All I need is what you bring
And what you have is all I need.
Love will lift you up
Love won't bring you down
You're my fantasy
I love your imagery
Blameless and free
The love surrounding you and me
If I had the chance again
I would take you by the hand
I won't hesitate
To ask you one more time
And if you should decline
I'll just keep on trying
Do as you please
But always come back to me
Come back to me
If only in dreams
Come back to me
If only in dreams
Come back to me
If only in dreams
Stay as perfect as you are
You're the star that guides my hope
Love will lift you up
Love won't bring you down
Come back to me
If only in dreams
Come back to me
If only in dreams
Come back to me
If only in dreams
- Albums: Consequences
I see your message on the white board
I got your telephone call
When you decide on your choices
Think of the consequences
Think of the consequences
I know I know
It's a little bit me a little bit you in the blame game
I know I know
We don't wanna lose this beautiful love we've found
And if I can
I'd take away all the pain and the hurt I caused you
I know I know
You wanna do the same cos you want things right again
I know you're testing all the boundaries
I see your crocodile tears
I’m gonna keep throwing options
And the consequences
Consequences
Finger pointing is aggressive
I'm no angel I know
But don't just follow your impulses
Actions have a voice that cries out
Just tell me what you want me to know
In the end we will be better
If we can sit and talk
No retribution
The past has a part to play in
Decisions we make today we can’t
Blow the consequences
The consequences
Don't want a power struggle
I just want to reinforce the trust
And if your actions hurt my heart
I've got to show you just how much
You're testing boundaries
You're pushing limits
Giving in might be easier
To let you win
And bear the consequences
You won't lose your sense of self
Water has a natural way it flows
Let's try hard to work things work
Let's have plan A B C and D
Set up guidelines
Keep our cool
Can't maintain the status quo
We got problems
And there are consequences
Don't give me drama and emotion
We’re gonna follow this through
We've got to take away restrictions
And face the consequences
I know you're testing all the boundaries
I see your crocodile tears
I’m gonna keep throwing options
And the consequences
I know you're testing all the boundaries
I see your crocodile tears
I’m gonna keep throwing options
And the consequences
I know I know
A little bit me a little bit you in the blame game
I know I know
We don't wanna lose this beautiful love we've found
And if I can
I'd take away all the pain and the hurt caused you
I know I know
You wanna do the same cos you want things right again
- Albums: Not Too Far AWay
I’d like to end up where you’ve started from
I’d like the happiness you’ve found
I used to hope you’d look at me like that
But now that hope is fading fast
So I
Cover my eyes
I don’t want to see you together
Cover my eyes
Don’t be cruel and blind me with your love
How I wish that it was me
Burning up from your sweet kisses
Cover my eyes
Cos I can’t take it.
I see you wrapped up in each other’s arms
Your synchronizing footsteps now
And when you start to fall asleep tonight
You’ll spoon and whisper words of love
Please
Cover my eyes
I don’t want to see you together
Cover my eyes
Don’t be cruel and blind me with your love
How I wish that it was me
Burning up from your sweet kisses
Cover my eyes
Cos I can’t take it.
You found your faithful heart
Cover my eyes
Cover my eyes
Cover my eyes
Cover my eyes
How I wish that it was me
Burning up from your sweet kisses
Cover my eyes
Cos I can’t take it.
Cover my eyes
I don’t want to see you together
Cover my eyes
Don’t be cruel and blind me with your love
How I wish that it was me
Burning up from your sweet kisses
Cover my eyes
Cos I can’t take it.

It's not the first time
That I've been in love
But I've never been in love like this before
It's not the first time
That I've been kissed
But I've never been kissed like this before
I can feel you close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for
I can feel you close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for
I can feel you close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for
What I'm looking for
That's you baby
It's like the first time
That you called my name
And you said I was the only one
How did I feel
Well I felt so high
That my head was poking out above the sky
Taking about you baby
I can feel you close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for
I can feel you close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for
I can feel you close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for
What I'm looking for
Hey you found me at a time when
I wasn't really even looking
I wasn't searching for someone to be there
To help me make it through the day
Now we meet at a time
When we're both feeling really peaceful
We've got something special
Something that nothing and no one can take away
Never had a dream come true
Never planned what I would do
Not like before when I was scared
And going out of my mind
That I'd be left for somebody else
It's not the first time
It's not the first time
But this is the last time
That I've been in love
Cos love ties us tightly
Never known love like this
It's here that we wanna be
I can feel you close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for
I can feel you close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for
I can feel you close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for
What I'm looking for
Never had a dream come true
‘Till I had you
Close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for
I can feel you close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for
I can feel you close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for

I swear you were not my ambition
A cooling aid was on my mind
I walked up to the bar and I ordered
Then I took my ice outside
I sat down under the hot sun
I looked around at this new land
And then oh
Cool blue
Long dark
You stole my heart
I woke up first light next morning
And I took a tram to the Leidse Plein
I hired a bike and I drove around for hours
I was searching for those dark eyes
I made a stop at the Blue Note
I passed up a chance for some good fun
Cause of you
Cool Blue
Long dark
Who stole my heart
- Albums: This Charming Life
I find myself
In times of trouble
And all I can do is cry
I find that all
The cares surround me
And all I can do
Is cry
Nothing you can do
Is ever gonna hurt like this
Nothing you can say
Is ever gonna hurt like this
I can't forget the one
Said I can't forget the one
No I can't forget the one
I saw you holding
As your beautiful mouth
kissed those pouting lips
I could tell that I was losing
My source of comfort is now fading
And all I can do
Is cry
Nothing you can do
Is ever gonna hurt like this
Nothing you can say
Is ever gonna hurt like this
And I can't forget the one
I just can't forget the one
Said I can't forget the one
No I can't forget the one
I saw you holding
Why just doesn't matter
What I want to know is when
When did you stop craving
For the nearness of me
And my perfumed smell
When I play with your hair
And the feeling you get
When I touch you
The sun has set
Our love
Is shaded
And all I can do
Is cry
Nothing you can do
Is ever gonna hurt like this
Nothing you can say
Is ever gonna hurt like this
And I can't forget the one
Said I can't forget the one
No I can't forget the one
I saw you holding
- Albums: Lovers Speak
I wanted you when and I want you now
And I always will
I wanted the best
And you are the best
Please don't leave
I don't want you to go
I'm a fool for you baby
I just want you to know
I'm a fool for you baby
Talked with a friend
We were up all night
We were looking at words
I searched for the ones
That would change your mind
Please
I just want you to know
I'm a fool for you baby
I just want you to know
I'm a fool for you baby
La da da da da
In this strange and troubled world
In this strange and troubled world
In this strange and troubled world
I just lost my mind
Let's clean the slate and start again
Don't leave me unforgiven
And I want you to know
My life is in your hands
I just want you to know
It's only you
I wasn't looking for someone else
And even at intimate times I felt
Like I was watching another life
In another world
In another time
And all the while my heart was crying
Crying like a little child
Cos all I wanted was you so much
But I just couldn't help myself
And I want you to know
You have the smile that I'm after
I just want you to know
I'm crazy crazy
For you
For your laughter
For your love
- Albums: Square The Circle
I don't mind if you tell me
That you're never coming back no more
Don't mind if you say
A dozen women got babies
And they're all yours
Don't mind if you tell me
That you got to work late tonight
No matter what you're saying
As long as you say it while
You hold me in your arms
Squeeze me nice and tight
Let's get down to business
I hear you speak
But my lips still seek your kisses
I know I'm crazy
There's women who want you for your money
Well they get what they deserve
May you never
Reach rock bottom babe
But I'd be there
With some extra fine clothes
So you can
Take me on the town Flaunt our love around
Dancing rude
We're gonna leave
Cos the steam will start a hissin'
You drive me crazy
Let me
Hold you in my arms
Hug your breath away
Let's get down to business
My younger days
Must have lacked some supervision
You lead me astray
Me myself and I want you
I know you're a lover who can't be true
I'm lucky that I got you
To show me love and affection
Tonight
Let's get down to business
I hear you speak
But my lips still seek your kisses
I know I'm crazy
Hold me in your arms
Squeeze me nice and tight
Let's get down to business
I hear you speak
But, my lips still seek your kisses
Drive me crazy

What was so special
We were exact
So much together
We were like that
You'd send chills down my spine
Or burn me up
With your desire
What happened to you and me
And the love that we once knew
I read the letters
I found the cards
Not hidden well
I thought love
Transcended lust
I guess my heart was wishing
What happened to you and me
And the love that we once knew
You never said it would end
And I thought we were unique
Safe and sound
Cradled in your love
What happened to you and me
And the love that we once knew
You never said it would end
And I thought we were unique
You never said it would end
And I thought I could depend
On a life time
Spent with you
- Albums: Square The Circle
Can't get your attention
No matter how I try
This fascination
Infatuation
I got to have it
Now I know you got it
Can I get next to you yeh
I always figured
Love was overrated
Call me fickle
Cos now it's just the greatest
This attraction
Was unpremeditated
Hold my hand
Please
Do do wop
Do do wop
Do do wop
Do do wop
Can't get your attention
No matter how I try
Infation
This fascination
I got to have it
Now I know you got it
Can I get next to you yeh
Can I get next to you yeh
Do do wop
Do do wop
Do do wop
Do do wop

To you it's just another day
And when you see the sun you say
That's the way the day begins
And promises you make
Do you really mean to keep
Or are they words you say
To fill the silent space
And when there's an empty moment
Won't you dedicate it to me
Or is it spent on burning incense
Or painting rooms in white
Lord, won't you call me today
Just to say hello
Conversation is the name of the game
We got phone calls, letters
And brown paper parcels with
To my baby
To my baby
To my baby
With all my love.
- Albums: Whatever's For Us Love & Affection
You came into town
With your big ideas
You'll find out
That life just ain't that way dear
There's such a lot of
Big fish in the sea
But don't take my word
Just sit back and you'll see
While closing the door
Turned and said, I've seen you baby
But I've got you fooled
And so has ex-million more
There's such a lot of
Pretence in this world
But don't take my word
Just sit back and you'll see
So settle down
City girl
Make life what it should be
Lots of laughs
All you want
That's how it ought to be
But don't take my word
Just sit back and you'll see

(lyrics by Pam Nestor)
So I've been sad
So I'm confused
Like most people are at times
But I love you
And this love of mine
Will comfort you
If need be
I am your friend
At times when I'm worried
I'll shy away from you
So at times I'm without the light I need in life
But I love you and this love of mine
Will open many doors
To make you see me to make you see me
See me in loves light
Come when you need me
I'm needing you
We could be the starlight in the morning dew
Even in my sorrows
I'll smile for your
Makes me free to see you happy
So I turn away at times
Turn away from right and wrong
So I freeze in the breeze
In the breeze of your song
But I love you
And this love of mine will see you through
Giving to us the morning dew.
(lyrics by Pam Nestor)
Newspaper clippings
All over your bedroom floor
And there's pictures of you
Since you were a gal
Since you were a gal of four
You're a child star
They ordained you
You're a child star
At that time that was right
But you're thirty four today
You gotta stop
Acting like a child
Been such a long time baby
Since you were knee high
And you're much too old for pampering
And you're much too young to die
Much too old for lollipops
And not old enough for lies
You're a grown woman
Stop acting
Acting acting like a child
Box of heavy tablets
Lying by your bed
And there's sadness clogging
Up your memories
They block your head
You're playing games
Games with nature
Games you can't afford to lose
How can you find out who you are
Surrounded by the blues
- Albums: What's inside
Might as well ask me
To drown in the Dead Sea
You might as well ask me
To walk a high wire
You might as well say
The sky is falling
You can say stop
But I know I can't
I've been loving you far too long
I can't stop it
I've been loving you far too long
I can't stop it now
Coast to coast
I have seen the world
Seen the rest
And you are the best
Chorus
Can't stop it baby
Can't stop this love for you
All my moods
You always win me round
Don't leave me darling
Don't wanna
Learn a brand new dance
Might as well ask me
To steal the Taj Majal
Spend a night along
In a haunted house
You can say stop
But I know I can't
Can't stop it baby
Can't stop this love for you
Can't stop it baby
Can't stop this love for you
Can't stop loving you
Can't stop loving you
Can't stop loving you
Can't stop it baby
Can't stop this love
I have for you darling
Deep down inside
I will always love you darling
Can't stop it
Can't stop can't stop
Can't stop can't stop
Can't stop can't stop
This feeling
Say stop but I know
I can't stop I can't stop
I can't stop I can't stop
I can't stop can't stop
Loving you darling
I can't stop loving you
I can't stop I can't stop
- Albums: Hearts And Flowers
I've tried hard to escape
From this feeling of wanting you
But I know you as well
As I know myself
And as hard as you try
To deny that you care for me
You know I can read
What your lips won't say
Oh darling
We can't stay close
We can't let go
What are we supposed to do
Darling
What are we supposed to do
Can't stay close
Can't let go
What are we supposed to do
Darling
We may argue and fight
And the tears run wild
But it's where we belong
In each other's arms
Oh darling
Can't stay close
Can't let go
What are we supposed to do
Darling
What are we supposed to do

Tried to do the best for you
Things I said
Were meant to last
Loved you so
I hate to go
I feel strong with you
I know I deserve this
If I could change the hands of time
Turn back the page
I can't get over
How I broke your heart
And the moment
That I lost my pride
And I can't forget
That look in your eyes
You were begging me
Don't make you cry
Loved you so
I almost said
I was home alone
But i couldn't see you more hurt
When you found out the lie
Not your fault
Not your fault
I know I've deceived you
I let my head be ruled While my conscience told me
If I get caught
Our love will end
I didn't seem to care
Now I can't get over
How I broke your heart
And the moment
That I lost my pride
And I can't forget
That look in your eyes
You were begging me
Don't make you cry
Now I can't get over
How I tore my whole world apart
I can't get over
How I broke your heart
And the moment
And I can't forget
That look in your eyes
You were begging me
Love you so I always will
Though you're miles from me
And I can't get over
How I tore my whole world apart
I can get over
How I broke your heart
And the moment
And I can't forget
That look in your eyes
You were begging me
I can get over
How I broke your heart
And the moment
That I lost my pride
And I can't forget
That look in your eyes
You were begging me
Don't make you cry

I just wanna see you at night
Don't come round my house in the day
I love it when we start up a fight
And I love it when the light ends your way
I love it when you call me names
I can't wait to see you again
I know you're gonna slap my face
You beat me up than beat me again
And over and over and over and over
And over and over
I love it when you call me names
Big woman
And a short short man
And he loves it
When she beats his brains out
He's pecked to death
And he loves the pain
And he loves it
When she calls him names
She's wearing heavy leather with lace
He dresses up in cowboy taste
They punish then they think of a crime
It's their way of loving not mine
I love it when you call me names
- Albums: Back To The NIght
Cuddle in the morning
Kissing late at night
That's what I wanna do
With my little baby
Alright
See me take that love
And hold it tight
Watch me hold on tight
Just as in the day time
Get my smile
Candles round the table
In the pale moonlight
Blackcurrent and jelly jars
Can't hold the sweetness
Sugar itself
So nice
Been said before but I feel it's right
And when I'm waddling old
Still wanna be there
High and mighty Oo
Old but gold
Love is you
So good
I'm a hopping onto a passing cloud
I'm sailing off to a heaven
Defines kissing you
The suns up above
Way up
A hot burning sun
Cooking up love
Making love
