Glorious Madness

  • Albums: Consequences

This is a glorious madness

This is madness of the heart

You got me whirling on a moonlit planet

The shape of a blue marble

My friends say my behaviour’s frenzied

Will this madness stop

Yes it feels like being possessed

And my mind is blown

With this crazy love
Will the madness stop

I’m in a state of confusion

I can’t think straight


This is delirium
An illusion 
When will the madness stop
Just just put me in a straight jacket
I don't want this madness to stop
I’m on this ride until the end

And I say

Who wants to stop a merry-go-round

Most times you want it to go faster

This is a glorious madness

This is madness of the heart

You got me whirling on a moonlit planet

The shape of a blue marble

I used to feel unsure

Unsure of everything

I wanted proof of life

And then you came along


Every day a new story

Every story has a twist

Every twist brings a new adventure


We won't bother
To say we’re sorry.
We won't bother
To explain.
That we still believe in magic
And we're living a fairy tale

This is delirium
An illusion 
When will the madness stop
Just just put me in a straight jacket
I don't I don't want this madness to stop
I’m on this ride until the end

And I say

Who wants to stop a merry-go-round

Most times you want it to go faster

This is a glorious madness

This is madness of the heart

You’ve got me whirling on a moonlit planet

The shape of a blue marble





 

Gave It A Try

  • Albums: Whatever's For Us

(lyrics by Pam Nestor)

Two weeks I went back
Trying to find
My way in society
Found me a job
Showing consideration
For my relations
I gave it a try

Mother I have tried and cried
Father I have tried and cried
Brothers I have tried and cried
Tried it your way
Now I'll do it my way

Two weeks I smiled
Though in my heart I cried
Repeated mistakes long left behind
Felt no desire to return
But I gave it a try

Game Of Love

  • Albums: The Key


The sun is out
And we're in the park
We'll be making love
Til it gets too dark
We've played the games
That we wanna play
It's a different sport
That is on its way

It's the game of love
It's the game of love

We ran around
In our shorty shorts
Yeh we kicked the ball
And we rode the horse
We ate the food
And we drank the wine
Now we've done all that
You know I think it's time

For a game of love
It's the game of love

The game of love
Everybody plays it
Everybody swears it ain't
That important to them
But they form the lines
Round the corners
Five miles long
To be in that two player team

For the game of love
It's the game of love

The game of love
Everybody plays
The game of love
Everybody scores
The game of love
Some they like it rough
The game of love
Some they ain't so tough

It's a game
It's a game

Get In The Sun

  • Albums: Show Some Emotion


Oh babe
I'm gonna sit my self right down
And relax
Oh babe
I'm gonna take it real easy and that's a fact
I got my glass of water cooling
Got the shades over my eyes
Don't try to wake me before day turns to night

Babe
Open all the doors take down the blinds
Babe
Trap that sun keep it nice and bright
I got this feeling deep inside me
Summer will be good
Don't tell me different think that it should

Get up Get out Get in the sun
You know that it's nice

Oh sun is out
Make me feel so good
Make me feel so good
Long as the sun is out
I'm alright

Get In Touch With Jesus

  • Albums: Back To The Night


I wanted to contact Jesus
'Cos of the million and one ways
You said he's good

But if it's too late it's too late
If it's too late for love
I won't take hand-outs
From you
Friends
Just give me wings of doves
Make my mind blank
Set my heart free
Mind that's blank
And a heart that's free
Not a line not a song
To remind me

How come there's kisses at the bottom
When you need
When you need
And no time when your liner
Drifts in
Silver and shining
You broke my heart
Let me tell you I'm hurt
But you know that
I'm too down to cry
I won't cry
I'll turn to Jesus
I'll turn to Jesus
I'll talk to him
And he can help me to help me
Somebody help me
Help me to get in touch with the man
Who can help me dream again

I wanted to contact you now
'Cos of the million and one ways
I know you're good
It's never too late
It's never too late for love

Goddess Of Change

  • Albums: This Charming Life


I was looking for the  sunshine
For the bright side
To those gloomy clouds of steely grey

It all rests on this
How do I see things now
In my average day
Am I an average Joe
Or do I seize the moment
And call on Oya 
The goddess of change
 
Oh my
It's funny how things turn out fine
Worries
They always seem much worse at night

It all rests on this
How do I see things now
In my average day
Am I an average Joe
Or do I seize the moment
And call on Oya 
The goddess of change

Seeing lover's embrace
Makes you want to find your
Corner of happiness
Call the goddess Oya

Everybody looking for
Something to make them
Much more happy and
Somewhat sweeter than
Seize the moment
call on Oya
