With these words we speak of love.
It’s hard for us to end.
It’s all a fallacy
that people do pretend.

The changes that I see,
I tremble and I shake,
were down in history
for only one mistake.

So far so good.
So far so good.
Twentieth century, sole survivor.
So far so good.
No neighbourhood.
I can’t escape your fire.

I won’t be far away.
Don’t worry about the night.
And I will take away
the trouble in your life.

When danger follows
it will take you by surprise.
No desert island
you can run to when you hide.

So far so good.
So far so good.
Twentieth century, sole survivor.
So far so good.
No neighbourhood.
I can’t escape your fire.

It’s such a tragedy
to fight for what we cannot win.
And all our golden days are gone forever.

When I was a boy
all the books I read
I followed like a blind man
to heed the words my father said.
 
Those golden summers faded into night,
words become a dream,
the echoes of my childhood
and where the path is winding.
 
May God bless you,
keep you safe from all harm.
Oh, may I stand by you always.
Time and motion.
Hands touch,
lips find a way to heaven on high.
 
Watch the children play,
the child becomes a man,
and all the tangled webs we weave,
you swear it as we live and breath.
We stay together, death until you part.
Winner takes the prize.
The future’s at your finger tips,
right before your eyes.
 
No more sorrow (smoke and mirrors).
No more nights with no end. (I really learned a lot)
I see my tomorrows (smoke and mirrors)
.
And nothing from nothing.
And ashes to ashes, they say.
All the more that you reach out
the more that it runs away.
 
Smoke and mirrors.
Smoke and mirrors.
 
(No more goodbyes.)
That’s all I ever got, smoke and mirrors.
(No lies, you find your way there,)
She show me what she’s got, smoke and mirrors.
(heaven on high.)
 
May God bless you,
keep you safe from all harm.
Oh, may I stand by you always.
 
Time and motion . (smoke and mirrors)
Hands touch, (that’s all I ever got)
lips find a way to heaven on high (smoke and mirrors).
 
No more sorrows
(I really learned a lot, smoke and mirrors)
No more nights with no end.
(She show me what she’s got, smoke and mirrors)
I rise or I fall.
 
No more goodbyes.
(She really makes me hot, smoke and mirrors)
No lies, you find a way there,
heaven on high.

Don’t let me see you crying
For you must keep on trying
To pretend that you don’t care

Smile for me
If only for a moment
And even though I’m far away
My heart will stay with you

One moment of sadness
Brings you gladness
And you will learn
While I’m away
You must pray for my return

Smile for me
If only for a moment
And even though I’m far away
My heart will stay with you

One moment of sadness
Brings you gladness
And you will learn
While I’m away
You must pray for my return

Smile for me
Though there’s no need for sorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
I’m home again
So, smile for me
For me
For me

Sinking ships,
watching them sail in the sun as it sinks in the sea.
Crashing planes,
only the eyes of the doomed with a smile on their face.

So I say to myself that it’s real
Take a look inside myself.
and I feel

Coloured cups,
windows that slide up and down with a squeak in the side.
Funny day,
banging the door to a close as it’s hurting my knee.

So I say to myself that it’s real
Take a look inside myself.

George was born somewhere
inside London town,
working as he grew
for that extra pound.
 
Respected by all,
he married and made a home,
to give his children
more than he had known.
 
But then he died
without an explanation.
He never lied,
a very sincere relation.
 
Years before a fire
sent him in the street.
It took him months of work
to make ends meet.
 
But then he died
without and explanation.
He never lied,
a very sincere relation.

Glories stream from heaven afar

I’ve never been sorry for the way I was raised.
The enemy fewer.
And the love that I made was a symbol of the times.
A celebration of the wine.
I made a memory in you.
 
I’ll still be the reader of the letters you write.
I’ll never be lonely for the rest of my life.
There’s a corner in my heart.
Oh, we can never be apart.
Oh, we can never be apart.
 
Gone tomorrow.
You be gone tomorrow.
We can dance the night away.
I can bestow to you all my love on your wedding day.
 
Shine shine
For how much longer you’ll be mine.
There’ll be no vows to be broken.
You mean the world to me.
Someone else that we both call love in your eyes.
I believe together you’ll shine.
 
I was born to be with you on the day you were born.
A beautiful angel with her face in the sun.
She was searching for the moon
in every sparkle in the spoon.
You haven’t changed.
 
I’ll still be the face in everybody you see.
A light in the night if you need me to be.
In every corner of the world.
If any smile becomes a tear
I will shelter you from the rain.
 
Gone tomorrow.
You be gone tomorrow.
We can dance the night away.
I can bestow to you all my love on your wedding day.
 
Shine shine
For how much longer you’ll be mine.
There’ll be no vows to be broken.
You mean the world to me.
Someone else that we both call love in your eyes.
I believe together you’ll shine.
 
And I, I love you.
There’s no one else I place above you.
Life is a road
before you.
And while he can show the way for you,
my darling, I will pray for you.
 
Shine shine
For how much longer you’ll be mine.
There’ll be no vows to be broken.

Wednesday morning at five o’clock as the day begins,
silently closing her bedroom door,
leaving the note that she hoped would say more.
She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief,
quietly turning the backdoor key,
stepping outside she is free.
 
She (We gave her most of our lives)
is leaving (Sacraficed most of our lives)
home (We gave her everything money could buy).
She’s leaving home after living alone
for so many years. (Bye, bye.)
 
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown,
picks up the letter that’s lying there,
standing alone at the top of the stairs.
She breaks down and cries to her husband:
Daddy our baby’s gone.
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?
How could she do this to me?
 
She (We never thought of ourselves)
is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves)
home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by).
She’s leaving home after living alone
for so many years. (Bye, bye.)
She’s leaving home (Bye bye)

 She says she loves me
and you say you don’t.
And life has no meaning
if you won’t.
 
She’s one in a million,
a million to one.
And love makes us so much stronger.
We hide the sun.
 
It’s undercover,
you’ll discover
we have lived a lie.
I never meant a thing to you.
All I did was waste your time.
 
If it hurts, don’t let it.
Someone loves you.
You will find the way.
 
She says she loves me
and you say you don’t.
And life has no meaning
if you won’t.
 
The one road to heaven
is hell when she’s gone.
And love makes us so much stronger.
We hide the sun.
 
It’s wrong to go on blaming someone
you don’t even know.
One song was all she sang to me.
All her words were soft and low.
 
If it hurts, don’t let it.
Someone loves you.
You will find the way.
 
She says she loves me
and you say you don’t.
And life has no meaning

 Front and centre, I don’t know how it happened then,
I can’t explain it, what she was thinking of and when.
Mother Nature, she put us both together,
and the way she touched me and I ran that red light.
 
And so I said I love her, she tell me I don’t matter.
I try to kiss her, but every dream is shattered.
No early warning, except the morning after.
Look in the mirror like a rabbit in the headlights.
 
She keeps on coming back for more,
she keeps on coming back for more,
she keeps on coming back for more.
Champagne and roses, breakfast in bed,
wrapped in each other and out of my head.
She keeps on coming back for more,
she keeps on coming back for more.
 
She ain’t no Cleopatra, I ain’t no Julius Caesar,
I ain’t no Casanova, she ain’t no Mona Lisa.
She charm a nation, she send you out to die,
and we were flying when she ran that red light.
 
I ain’t no Valentino, she ain’t no Greta Garbo,
no Aphrodite, I’ll never be Apollo,
but when we come together there’s no one else can follow,
there’s no tomorrow when we run that red light.
 
She keeps on coming back for more,
she keeps on coming back for more,
she keeps on knocking at the door..
Drunk on desire, erotic delights,
sooner or later, she´ll kiss you good night.
She keeps on coming back for more,
she keeps on coming back for more.
 
Midnight, die in the arms of a lover. (Dream time, she’s mine, always here, )
Hold tight, I close my eyes and she’s gone. (small town, daytime, disappear.)
 
She keeps on coming back for more,
she keeps on coming back for more,
she keeps on coming back for more.
Drunk on desire, erotic delights,
sooner or later, she´ll kiss you good night
But she keeps on coming back for more,
she keeps on coming back for more,

 She came in through the bathroom window,
protected by a silver spoon,
but now she sucks her thumb and wanders
by the banks of her own lagoon.
 
Didn’t anybody tell her?
Didn’t anybody see?
Sunday’s on the phone to Monday,
Tuesday’s on the phone to me.
 
She said she’d always been a dancer.
She worked at fifteen clubs a day.
And though she thought I knew the answer,
well I knew what I could not say.
 
And so I quit the police department
and got myself a steady job.
And though she tried her best to help me,
she could steal but she could not rob.
 
Didn’t anybody tell her?
Didn’t anybody see?
Sunday’s on the phone to Monday,
Tuesday’s on the phone to me.
Oh yeah.

Lord, she’s so fine.
Don’t let her, she’ll destroy you
the moment that she finds
she can’t get no solid muscle.
 
Takes all she wants.
Empty future for you.
And you won’t get the best of
what you dream of.
She’s bad and it’s wrong.
 
So don’t wait on me if you believe
she’s up there waiting for you.
Then you ain’t grown at all.
 
And if you need love,
let me see her for you.
I can help you make some noise.
 
A: My love is shatterproof.
B: I think you’re full of it.
C: Lazy love ain’t no excuse.
D: Love is what you make of it.
 
A: My love is shatterproof.
B: A little too much is just enough.
C: I couldn’t get more than all of you.
D: Wrapped up in my chains of love.
 
She’s just my size.
Eyes that watch her shimmer.
They’re crying our for more.
It’s the power.
And the pull is too strong.
 
And that love will take you under.
She ain’t up there waiting for you.
She’ll kick you when you fall.
 
And anyone would walk away from her.
But I love her.
And she makes me suffer.
 
A: My love is shatterproof.
B: I think you’re full of it.
C: Lazy love ain’t no excuse.
D: Love is what you make of it.
 
A: My love is shatterproof.
B: Simply indestructible.
C: You will understand the truth.
D: When your love is shatterproof.
 
Before she was
there was water in the wine,
but now I’m alright,
since I saw her there.
 
Now we don’t ever sleep at night.
And if you look,
you may see marks on me.
But that’s love, so be aware.
 
Shatterproof…

There was a time in history
I thought you were the enemy
You and I had a go between then
Harder than it’s ever been
You told me when you went away
Standing in the summer rain
I’d never see your face again love
Never see your face
 
I’ve been alone longer than you
Gave it all for nothin’ like so many do
We got love between each other
All the air we can breathe
We can change it all my love if we
just believe
 
It’s a brave new world and
You got to be a lover
When you finally get a part to play
When the rain starts falling
We turn to one another
It’s your body and mine in the shape of  things to come
Where does our love go
When the world is overcome
 
God bless you and me
It’s the shape of things to come
 
Time to grow strong
Seems your love is sailing by
Time to turn the tide
Not like it was
Ain’t nothing better than
The best of us
 
I’ve been alone longer than you
Gave it all for nothin’ like so many do
The love between us
All the air we can breathe
We can change it all my love
If we just believe
 
Now I got you next to me
I’ll tell you what you did to me
I nearly died of a broken heart
I nearly died of a broken heart
 
I’ve been alone all through the night
Gave it all for nothin’ with
Nothing to hide
Believe in me girl
That’s all I can say
I’m the one to steal your heart away…

You got me looking at that heaven in your eyes.
I was chasing your direction.
I was telling you no lies.
And I was loving you.
 
When the words are said,baby, I lose my head.
And in a world of people, there’s only you and I.
There ain’t nothing come between us in the end.
How can I hold you when you ain’t even mine.
Only you can see me through.
I leave it up to you.
 
Do it light,
taking me through the night,
shadow dancing,
baby you do it right.
 
Give me more,
drag me across the floor,
shadow dancing,
all this and nothing more.
 
All that I need is just one moment in your arms.
I was chasing your affection.
I was doing you no harm.
And I was loving you.
 
Make it shine, make it rain, baby I know my way.
I need that sweet sensation of living in your love.
I can’t breath when you’re away, it pulls me down.
You are the question and the answer am I.
Only you can see me through.
I leave it up to you.
 
Do it light,
taking me through the night,
shadow dancing,
baby you do it right.
 
Give me more,
drag me across the floor,
shadow dancing,
all this and nothing more.
 
And in this world of people there’s only you and I.
There ain’t nothing come between us in the end.
Ah, can I hold you when you ain’t even mine.
Only you can see me through.
I leave it up to you.
 
Do it light,
taking me through the night,
shadow dancing,
baby you do it right.
 
Give me more,
drag me across the floor,
shadow dancing,
all this and nothing more.
Do it light…
