Now What

  • Albums: How Did This Happen And What Does It Now Mean

This track is an instrumntal guitar track

Natural Ryhthm

  • Albums: Consequences

We've got natural rhythm

We laugh at the same time

We've got skin to skin

We've got heart to heart

We are not star crossed
But we are lovers
We read each other
Like an open book
A thousand words can't say
How much you mean to me
I'll paint a picture in the sky
For you

All life must have meaning
And the Gods of the future looked down
They sang of celebration
And a promise of a lasting love

We are not star crossed
But we are lovers
We read each other
Like an open book
A thousand words can't say
How much you mean to me
I'll paint a picture in the sky
For you

When we first met
Yea just by chance
I didn't take a second glance
I never knew we ever would
See eye to eye
And fall in love

We are not star crossed
But we are lovers
We read each other
Like an open book
A thousand words can't say
How much you mean to me
I'll paint a picture in the sky
For you

We've got natural rhythm
We laugh at the same time

Rhythm's got right inside our heads
The pulse is slow but our hearts beat fast  
Mind to mind yea we dance in time
We'll dance till the siren stops
        
We are not star crossed
But we are lovers
We read each other
Like an open book
A thousand words can't say
How much you mean to me
I'll paint a picture in the sky
For you



Not Too Far Away

  • Albums: Not Too Far Away

 

Barb wire fencing across the fields
And you’re not too far away
Wish you were here instead of there
And not too far away

If I lie in the road
Will you rescue me
If I run through the trees will you see me
Keep me close
In your atmosphere
Life intensifies
When you’re near

Put your head on my shoulder
For the rest of your life stay with me
In our cardboard mansion
We will laugh at the rain
And run from the fire straight into the sea
And swim into the unknown you and me

4 in a car I’m in the back
And you seem so far away
Wish I could drive
I would have you nearer still
And not so far away

If I lie in the road
Will you rescue me
If I run through the trees will you see me
Keep me close
In your atmosphere
Life intensifies
When you’re near

Put your head on my shoulder
For the rest of your life stay with me
In our cardboard mansion
We will laugh at the rain
And run from the fire straight into the sea
And swim into the unknown you and me

I want to show you to all my friends
Don’t go too far away
The day will come when you’ll be mine
And that’s not too far away

If I lie in the road
Will you rescue me
If I run through the trees will you see me
Keep me close
In your atmosphere
Life intensifies
When you’re near

Put your head on my shoulder
For the rest of your life stay with me
In our cardboard mansion
We will laugh at the rain
And run from the fire straight into the sea
And swim into the unknown you and me

 

No More Pain

  • Albums: Not Too Far Away

This pain is my protection
It tells me to run
This pain is what you gave
But it’s making me strong
Even though I can’t define it
Does not mean that I’m confused

You taught me to grieve
And this hurt is acute
You might be the author of my wounds
But I decide
I decide
I decide
Just how this story will end.

This pain
My liberator
This trial
The same
This sting it can treated
Dr. cure my ills

Misery is my companion
In this sad experience
You stabbed at my heart
And caused it to break
But I know it won’t last my whole life long
When I decide
I decide
I decide
That I will stand no more pain

Never Is Too Late

  • Albums: Show Some Emotion

Alone
You turn your head around
On your own
The order to the man
One strong drink
Searching for that question
To give your self some reason
To talk to a stranger

Don't be afraid
We all need some one
Who is on our side
Some things must not wait
And a pledge
Short lived
Or long
Is all that's needed
Who'll help

Don't isolate
If you see some one not dancing
It's your fault
Never is too late
And a dance short lived
Or long
Is all that's needed
Who will help this lonely one

Move
Direction seems unknown
Walk
Another hour passed
And still alone
Searching for that question
Looking for somebody
Trying to find that person
To love
Just be aware

Asking for help from someone
Is not too easy

 

 

 

No Love For Free

  • Albums: Back To The Night

You come to me trembling trembling
Shaking at the knees
You say you love me better than
Anyone else can
My head is spinning
I'm flattered
But I don't understand

Every passing hello
How are you
You wanna know his name
Just because I was there when you needed a shoulder
You think I'll take your name
I love for money
I'm flattered
But I can't leave my trade

You will see me holding up some corner store
In my twenties print
And my thumb's turned up
Yes I'm looking for a ride
Jesus woke me up in some
Stranger's bed
They're a lot like you
They want to save my soul

Let me tell you
This lady loves
And she goes where she pleases
No love for free.

 

 

 

No Love

  • Albums: Walk Under Ladders Love & Affection Right After This...Alright (A&M compilation CD)

Well
You started out
Wanting my body
And I didn't mind
'Cos we liked each other
And it also helped
To pass the time
Well everybody dreams of one
And now I want you
And not just
For fun
But if you've got no love
To give
Baby don't give it here

I wanted you to be my lover
I would be your friend
And I'd wear the purple shirt
'Cos it makes you laugh
And I would too
Well if there's
Anything I can do
I wanna do it
And if I had no love
To give
I wouldn't give it
To you

Your best friend's
Friend
Told someone
I was the hurting kind
And now they've
Planted that seed
And it's growing there
In your mind
Well if you're looking for
A permanent mate
Just accept me
As your fate
'Cos if I had no love to give
I wouldn't give it
To you
