I’m a fool, I’ve taken no advice,
and I’m so cruel, I’m talking to you nice,
but then again you may not take me back,
oh, just to put my handbag on your rack.
 
Guess I don’t know why I bother with myself.
You will find a part of me in someone else.
I never argued with the fact that she is mine.
I only hurt her and kissed her three times out of nine.
 
You have the edge to talk to men and make them feel at home.
You spent that every lasting cent on someone that’s not your own.

Bear with me there’s bound to be a chance
to heal the wound and start back our romance.
I gained a heart and part of it is yours.
Oh, just to see my love walk through these doors.
 
Oh, and my life’s bound out ahead, I cannot look,
and if you read me, then I am just a book.
You don’t care if rain falls in my room.
You won’t be there if trouble fills my spoon.
I’m just a clown that plays around with misery in my way,
forgetting all the rules of love…

Now that we’re alone.
No more hide and seek.
You are the highest dream to me.
And as you softly sleep
then I can tell you what it means.

Locked in my arms like lovers lie,
I will not let you slip away.
Is this the summer of them all.
Is this my night of nights
that you came to stay.

Here you are, owner of my heart,
just the way that love should be.
And there’s something I must say to you,
if you promise to believe
that it’s you I’m living for
and I could not love you more.

Seasons may come and seasons go
but these are the truest words I know.
Face to face, eye to eye.
This is the summer of of our lives.
One love that cannot die.

Here you are, owner of my soul,
never let you say goodbye.
And there is something I must say to you,
we leave the world outside
and you have come to me at last, we start.

Open up your heart,
let my deepest love inside.
I’m only doing what I have to do.
If you promise to believe
that I could not love you more.

Here you are (you are), owner of my heart,
just the way that love should be.
And there’s something I must say to you,
we leave the world outside
and you have come to me at last (at last), we start.

Open up your heart,
let my deepest love inside (ah).
I’m only doing what I have to do.
If you promise to believe
that it’s you I’m living for
that it’s you I’m living for
and I could not love you more.

Now I know I seem to get the message
That is something I could never do.
I could never be the one to hurt you.
I'm just trying to make my whole life through

You lived inside me
You caused me sorrow
And I should forgive you everything

I cannot give you my love
No matter how much you cry
Everything you say and do
Feel like a lie.

Always be in your world
No matter how far you fly
To the moon and back and back (and back)
And back (and back)
I cannot give you my love
But I strive.

And we are oceans apart
But I follow my heart.
There is nothing, nothing that I would rather be.
I understand you,
You've got to be free (you've got to be free).
(You and me)

So fly away, butterfly.
Take it to your journey's end.
You are here today and gone tomorrow,
But I will always be your friend.

Blessed are the souls who love each other
And I would never let the story die.
And I fought to give you everything,

I cannot
I cannot give you my love
No matter how much you pray (how much you pray)
Everything you say and do
Send me away (send me away)

I'll always be in your world
Or what your world is to you
To the moon and back and back (and back)
And back (and back) and back (and back)
I cannot give you my love
But I do

And all the oceans will roll
You will find me no more
There is no one, no one I would rather see
But I understand you (yeah)

I cannot give you my love
No matter how much you cry
Everything you say and do
Feel like a lie.

Always be in your world
No matter how far you fly
To the moon and back and back (and back)
And back (and back) and back
I cannot give you my love
But I strive.

So fly away, butterfly
Shoo-be-do, fly (fly away)
Shoo-be-do, fly (ooh)
Shoo-be-do, fly (fly away)
Shoo-be-do, fly (fly away, butterfly)…

I should thank you for the flowers.
Can’t imagine how you came to think of those.
That same colour rose for me.
My world is made up of memories.
You and I, the laughter and tears.
You never need to worry.

I can’t see anything,
see anything but you.
There could be so many others,
but I can’t see anything,
see anything but you.

I remember all the good things,
when you held me for the first time.
Things were right
on that rainy night for us.
Love then, now and forever.
No time real and right where we are
as good as my eyes can be.

I can’t see anything,
see anything but you.
There could be some many others,
but I can’t see anything,
see anything but you.

No one ever cried.
No one ever stood in the way.
Everybody lies.
Everybody buys what love is today.
You can be a fool.
In the beginning, baby, you were there.
And when you’re winning,
what do you do?
Don’t ask me.

I can’t see anything,
see anything but you.
There could be so many others,

Do you love me woman, truly do you?
Can you feel this feeling going through you?

Are you of the mind
that we could live together through this night?

Or tell me you’re my virgin queen
and it may not be right.

But don’t make me say.
I can’t let you go.
And it’s breaking me down,
just thinking of your face,
and it won’t be around.

Just look at me now.
I feel a stranger inside,
stealing my pride.
I can’t let you go.

And it’s breaking me down
‘cause you won’t be around.

When all this world of ours
is falling apart,
I’ll keep on hanging on
and fixing my heart.

‘Cause everyone is just like me
they’re praying in the sun.

And I may be that lucky man
surviving when they’re gone.

But don’t make me say,
I can’t let you go.
And it’s breaking me down,
just thinking of your face,
and it won’t be around.

Just look at me now.
I feel a stranger inside,
stealing my pride.
I can’t let you go.
And it’s breaking me down
‘cause you won’t be around.

Just look at me now.
I feel a stranger inside,
stealing my pride.
I can’t let you, can’t let you go.

And it’s breaking my down
‘cause you won’t be around.

Just look at me now.
I can’t let you go.
Just look at me now.
I can’t let you go.
Just look at me now.

Love, take away the lonely days gone by.
Make it every day for you and I.

I don’t believe in love.
I’m not afraid of the night.
People who follow their hearts survive.
 
Don’t need the chains of life.
I am no refugee.
They say that the eyes of the soul surrender.
 
Give me little loving, can we set the world alight?
Every thing I wanted walking right beside me, baby.
When I think I’m losing, I just look at you and…
 
Baby, I believe in miracles,
burning through the night .
Shining with the power of lightning,
so exciting.
I’m on a journey,
I don’t know if I can make it on my own.
 
Baby, I believe in miracles.
Destination, your desire.
And baby, oh sweet baby.
 
I can’t agree with war.
It’s not important to me.
The stranger that stands in the wind survives.
 
Give me little loving, can we set the world alight?
Every thing I wanted walking right beside me, baby.
When I think I’m losing, I just look at you and…

In the history of humans I have found
no stranger to the strange.
It’s the dream of your choice
that fate could not change.

It’s a mystery that is the universe,
ten times the speed of sound.
Don’t be concerned, I will take care of you.
Take you from Mercury to Mars.
Just state what you need.
And Jane will be there for you.
We’re on a journey to the stars.

Ah. We never stop short of our destination,
eyeballing the constellation.

I am your driver and I’m proud to say
in a word
your flight will be smooth.

I am your driver, it’s your lucky day.
We be gone.
Together we move, oh,
together we move.

Apart from black holes, body rolls, ready for the danger.
I’ll get you home again.
We got a green light, hang on tight.
You can rearrange your bags in the aisle.
The airline with a smile.

We never stop short of our destination,
eyeballing the constellation.

I am your driver and my speed is great.
I’m a stone,
born to be smooth.

I am your driver, I take you away.
We be gone.
Together we move, oh,
how can we lose.

All aboard the ‘Merry Widow’ I have found
our ship can race the wind,
chase it and win
for she was a pioneer
like others before,
she lead the line.

And there’s been good times, some were bad.
Some were just appalling.
It’s all in the scheme of things, I suppose.

It all comes down to what is real or what your dream is.
One show of shows.
Just follow your nose.

You’ll never stop short of your destination,
eyeballing the constellation.

I am your driver and I’m proud to say
in a word your flight will be smooth.
I am your driver, it’s your lucky day.
We be gone.
Together we move,
together we move.

“King Kathy”

In the stable yard , deep in the night,
Never a sound was heard,
If you pierce the dark, you’ll see a light,
Maybe a whispered word.

You’re going to make it, King Kathy,
Better take it easy girl,
You’ll live to ride another day,
You’re going to show the whole world.

But the voice was wrong, no one would say,
Kathy would race no more,
She won every race, run in her life,
But some one must take the score.

You’re going to make it, King Kathy,
Better take it easy girl,
You’ll live to ride another day,
You’re going to show the whole world.

When the stable yard welcomed the dawn,
Only a voice that cried,
The voice that saw King Kathy born,
Was there on the day she died.

You’re going to make it, King Kathy,
Better take it easy girl,
You’ll live to ride another day,
You’re going to show the whole world.

It’s not the eye alone that gives you sight.
I’ve never given anybody my soul,

Just give me the kiss of life.
 
Watch them hold you.
Count their faces,
a never-ending line.
 
But they’re only
imitations,
existing out of time.
 
So now you’re telling me it’s just a ring.
You say it’s nothing but it’s everything.
I’m under pressure and I’m under

You got the questions and the answers I know.
I’m being buried alive.

All the love of my mother, I offer to you
And I’ll try so very hard, to get you through
If I lay down my life, for my king and country men
Would it change you for the better
It better be all right
To be always like children
Afraid of the night

If I gave up the cause, what would you give me
to make up for all the things that I would lose
If I lay down my life, for my king and country men
Would it change you for the better
It better be all right
To be always like children
Afraid of the night

Well you better get busy, get it over and done
I was here when you arrived, I’ll be here when you’re gone
If I lay down my life for my king and country men
Would it change you for the better
It better be all right
To be never like people

Kathy said she needed life
instead of a suburban town.
 
And she didn’t care when things were wrong or right,
heading out towards the city lights.
Telling me that at last she’s alive, alive.
 
Kathy’s gone and I can’t go on,
I’ve been crying lonely nights.
No one knows where the true love goes in the end.
 
Oh, oh, oh, Kathy she shot down my world,
that’s no surpise.
 
Oh, Kathy’s dream to be a movie queen
was her obsession.
Sweet reviews inside the morning news
was her reflection.
 
And she ran away to find a fantasy
with the lovers and the limosines.
Could it be that at last she’s alive, alive.

We are dying,
Only trying to survive.

Ah…
Jesus in heaven can you help us?
We are dying,
Only trying to survive.

We can do it with your help, ah.
We can do it, by myself.

I will not pray for you
It is not my tradition.
My only mission:
To survive.
Lalalala…
