Figure Of Speech

  • Albums: Sleight Of Hand


He'll teach you to wait by the phone
And then won't call
Throw your life in a turmoil
And when you fall
Just when you need him most
He won't see you
Don't let him
Don't let him
Don't let him get you down

When your dreams get shattered
Down where nothing matters
But if he won't have you
You can bet your life
Bet your life
It's not the end
And if he can't see
What a friend you are
That's his loss
It's not the end

Don't let him
Don't let him
Don't let him get you down

Watch his lips while he speaks
And read his eyes
It's a figure of speech
So don't be surprised
When he talks of love
But his deeds can break you
Don't let him
Don't let him
Don't let him get you down

Feeling In My Heart (For You)

  • Albums: Me Myself I


I have lost in love
I have lost in love
That's twice today
Now you're on my mind
What will I find
Will you be kind
To me

I won't be afraid
I won't be afraid to love
This time
Gentle
Yet firm
Darling I'm yours
Hold me tonight
Cos I
Got a feeling
In my heart for you
I
Got a feeling in my heart for you

I got a feeling in my heart
For you
I got a feeling in my heart
That's true
Oh I
I...I....I....I....I
Got a feeling in my heart for you
I
Got a feeling in my heart for you
Never leave
Your side
I will never turn my back on you
This feeling's no lie
It's just you and I
Hold me tonight
Cos
I
Got a feeling in my heart for you
I
Got a feeling in my heart for you

Fire And Ice

  • Albums: Lovers Speak


I don't wanna know everything
About you
Can't love everything everything
That you do

No baby don't wanna find anybody else
Nobody could ever find another lover
Never find another lover like you
Like oil and water we don't mix
But something keeps us tied together

We fight
Fire and ice
Black is white
Night is day
That's how we treat each other

But I don't wanna go anywhere
Without you
I could never find
Loving as tempestuous

You say hot
I say cold
But oh when the fight is over
You say yes
I say yes
And we dive underneath the covers

And I don't wanna go anywhere
Without you
I don't wanna go anywhere
Without you
I don't wanna I don't wanna go anywhere
Without you

I say left
You say right
Before the night is over
I say yes
You say yes
And we dive underneath the covers

I don't wanna go anywhere
Without you
I don't wanna go anywhere
Without you


 
No baby don't wanna find anybody else
Never find another lover
Not another lover ever gonna make me happy
Like you make me happy
You make me happy
You make me happy

Flight Of The Wild Geese

  • Albums: Love & Affection


Sad are the eyes
Yet no tears
The flight of the wild geese
Brings a new hope

Rescue from all this
Old friends
And those newly found
What chance to make it last

When there's danger all around
And reason just ups and disappears

Time is running out
So much to be done
Tell me what more
What more
What more can we do.


There were promises made
Plans firmly laid
Now madness prevails
And lies fill the air.

What more, Oh
What more
What more can we do.
What chance to make it last

What more
What more can we do.

Free

  • Albums: Hearts And Flowers


Everything I try to give you
Everything I try to do
Thereâs no pleasing you
You want the stars in the morning
And the sun dead of night
You place immovable objects
In my plain sight

Well I'm giving you your freedom
Though I never owned you
Nor wanted to
Hey hey hey hey

You're free
Now enjoy your freedom
Don't call me up
For cheap advice
You're free
Make your own decisions
You live your life
And let me live mine

Never held out on affection
Gave you most material things
There's no pleasing you
You called me your lover
Did I treat you that bad
You really want me to suffer
But I can take so much

Well I'm giving you your freedom
Though I never owned you
Nor wanted to
Hey hey hey hey

You're free
Now enjoy your freedom
Don't call me up
For cheap advice
You're free
Make your own decisions
You live your life
And let me live mine
Please

Foolish Pride

  • Albums: The Key


I've been a coward
And I've run away
But I'll be a hero today
It's caution to the wind
This time I will be satisfied
I'll keep on going
And forget my pride
Forget my foolish pride

It's important
Take it seriously
Don't run away
No
Don't turn
I'm showing all my hand
Say yes
And we can hug and kiss
Say no
And it won't stay like this
Forget your foolish pride

Say yes
And we can hug and kiss
Say no
And it won't stay like this
Forget your foolish pride

I've been a fool
I can see it now
But I'll be a wise man today
No grass under my feet
This time we're gonna get it right
A stupid quarrel
Won't upset our lives
Forget this foolish pride

Friends Not Lovers

  • Albums: Me Myself I


I see you body when I look at you
It's breaking me up
Cos you say we're through
It's such a shame
If we just had to remain

Friends not lovers
Two people
One state of mind
We can't be friends
Not lovers
No way
Baby I'm not lying

I want you back
I want you back

Maby baby
You're not aware
Broken hearts
Can get repaired
It's a losing game
If we should have to part as

Friends not lovers
Two people
One state of mind
We can't be friends
Not lovers
No way
Baby I'm not lying

I want you back
I want you back

I see your reasons
I know your fears
People change
I stand here
To be what you want
To be where you are
I just wanna say

We can't be friends
Not lovers
Two people
One state of mind
And lovers
No way baby
I'm not lying

Frustration

  • Albums: Track Record

Throw it at the wall

Stamp your feet

Punch out a guy any guy you meet


Hey Chainsaw, I'm bigger than you
Hey Chainsaw, I'm bigger than you

Frustration you’ll find it there at the bottom of the stairs

Frustration you’ll find it there on the factory floor

Frustration you’ll find it there in the body of a man

Frustration, it's frustrating

Material
It's who you know
It's sexual
It's the way it goes
Hey Chainsaw, I'm bigger than you
Hey Chainsaw, I'm bigger than you

Frustation, it makes you do things
Frustration, it’ll change your colour it’ll make you green
Frustration, and if it makes you green it can make you blue

Smoke in the engine
Slide in the pool
The heat’s too hot
And the cold’s too cool

Frustration, it'll make you feel like you wanna break down
Frustration, the strength to break you to the mind of a child
Frustration, the boogie man put a hex on you
Frustration, bogady bogady whoo

Hey Chainsaw, I'm bigger than you
Hey Chainsaw, I'm bigger than you
Hey Chainsaw, I'm bigger than you
Hey Chainsaw, I'm bigger than you

Frustration, makes you do things
Frustration,
Frustration, boogie man put a hex on you
Frustration
bogady bogady whoo


Hey chainsaw, I'm bigger than you
Hey chainsaw, I'm bigger than you
