I see she knowing what I came here for
fet a little of your womanifestation
If I can pinpoint this feeling
When you gonna let it grow
We can draw the line on where we let the fingers go.

Now I know me
Never wanna lose control
Making me the subject of your warm initiation.
If I can pinpoint this feeling
When you gonna let it show
You make me nervous but it’s now or never.

Oh oh
You can be my message from above
And it’s time to say you’re sorry
We can sanctify our love

Oh oh
And you and I we’re written in the wind
You can’t just go moving out
You can’t leave me when I’m moving in

I want to be your human sacrifice
I want to be your lover
I want to be your human sacrifice
I want to be your lover

It’s you or me
Gotta be a kill or cure
Maybe undergo a lover’s operation
Nothing cuts like a knife can
You don’t wanna hurt me more
Look at all that damage we could do together

Oh oh
You can wear me closer to the bone
It don’t work to make me worry
But the demon seed is sown

Oh oh
And you and I we’re written in the sky
You can’t make me hold on
Better you shoot my love between the eyes.
I want to be your human sacrifice
I want to be your lover
I want to be your human sacrifice
I want to be your lover

Your eyes on me on this table where I lie
And what I see as fact is fiction
You won’t let me die
And I’m bound to be abused
I won’t let you cut me loose
This love is out to get you
When the blood begins to flow

Oh oh
You can be my message from above
And it’s time to say you’re sorry
We can sanctify our love

Oh oh
And you and I we’re written in the wind
You can’t just go moving out
You can’t leave me when I’m moving in

I got a bad sensation.
The enemy is all around.
The traces of my naked heart
are laid upon the ground.

I suffered side effects that might have been forever,
even in my dreams.
And I was left alone to pray,
when there was no one in the way.
And nothing what it seemed.

And from a hard time, play time,
took a trip around the world.
I made myself invisible.
The taste was in the wine.

And just when the thought of someone
needing me forever.
I don’t believe the words are true.
That only she could be my saviour.

Experience is not enough.
I’ll show you how to fall in love.
She said experience is not enough.
I’ll show you how to fall in love.

And she’s all alone with me.
Every night.
And lighting all my days of sorrow.
On my own.
If there was any more to give.
You know I’d sacrifice it for her.

And in the prime of my life.
I was blessed and I was sent
someone sweet and innocent
and nervous when she kissed.

And in the face of my forbidden fruit forever,
miracles are mine.
And knowing I’m the first
in her secret universe.
There’s no sense of space and time.

You take a small town, young girl.
Someone warm and wonderful
that any man would understand
that love is like the wind.

Something deep inside to give you.
And when the words get in the way,
the only thing you need is silence.

Experience is not enough.
I’ll show you how to fall in love.
(Experience is not enough,
I’ll show you how to fall in love).
She said experience is not enough.
I’ll show you how to fall in love.
(Experience is not enough,
I’ll show you how to fall in love).

Experience is not enough.
I’ll show you how to fall in love.
(Experience is not enough,
I’ll show you how to fall in love).
She said experience is not enough.
I’ll show you how to fall in love.
(Experience is not enough,
I’ll show you how to fall in love).

Experience is not enough…

Driving my car, we stop for a while.
It’s getting so late and you’re sending me wild.
I know that it’s madness but oh,
I’m scared, oh so scared.

Taking my hand, try to settle down.
We won’t say a word till it’s over.

And your eyes are so inviting.
I know that if we stay
I’ll never take you home.

You said you were 17
but you are somewhere in between
that leads me on.
How old are you, oh.

Ran away to open arms.
You’re just a girl with women’s charms
that turns me on.
How old are you, oh.

You’ve been busy lying.
You’ve made it up to now.
I’m caught up in the heat of the moment.

If you love me and then leave me,
it’s the story of my life.
And I won’t be in the morning the man I am tonight

So, little girl, please try and understand
you mean more to me than a one-night stand.
I’m losing all resistance, my head has lost control.
It’s wrong, oh so wrong.

Deep in the night, shadows all around,
lost in the magic forever.

And I know that when you touch me
my heart won’t let me down.
I’m scared, oh so scared.

You said you were 17
but you are somewhere in between,
that leads me on.
How old are you, oh.

Ran away to open arms.
You’re just a girl with women’s charms
that turns me on.
How old are you, oh.

Fighting all temptation,
I’ve made it up to now.
I’m caught up in the heat of the moment.

If you love me and then leave me,
it’s the story of my life.
And I won’t be in the morning the man I am tonight.

You said you were 17
but you are somewhere in between,
that leads me on.
How old are you, oh.

Ran away to open arms.

How many sleeps ‘till I see you again
How many waves on the shore
How many wishes and how many prayers
Before you are with me once more
I’ll kiss you goodnight
And I’ll promise to write
And I’ll see you very soon
We’ll be looking at the same moon
I will be there when you call
And the moment is forever
Oh, Amy Rose,
I love you most of all.

Lions and tigers and crocodile tears
Things that go bump in the night
I’ll be your hero and dry all your tears
Drive all your fears out of sight
And how do you find it’s so easy to leave me
Alone inside my room
I will see you in the same stars
I will hold your face, oh
And the moment is forever
My Amy Rose
This is your daddy’s vow.

I will meet you at the kissing gate
Remember the fish on the stone
I will meet you down at Amy’s barn
And you will never be alone
You will never be alone.

How many sleeps ‘till I see you again
How many rays in the sun
Daddy I love you as long as I live
Long as a river may run
How many colours we see in the rainbow
And chase that red balloon
Are we looking at the same moon
We will never be apart
And the moment is forever
My Amy Rose
I live inside your heart.

I will meet you at the kissing gate
Remember the fish on the stone
I will meet you down at Amy’s barn
And you will never be alone

And whether she’s running through the yellow fields
Or barefoot on the stones
I will meet you down at Amy’s barn
And you will never be alone
You will never be alone.
No, not alone, Amy.

 

As you know this is the B side of Cliff Richards new single. A wonderful composition written by Barry and his best friend David English. David is very pleased with the success of the song. David: ‘It’s quite wonderful that it’s doing so well. I wrote the song about my daughter Amy Rose, who, as a little girl, used to phone me from Zimbabwe, where she lived at the time, and asked, How many sleeps before I see you daddy?’ She would measure how long she hadn’t seen me in how many nights she had slept I thought this was a lovely idea for a song so me and Barry went to Miami to record it. We thought it would be perfect for Cliff Richard so he came over and put down the vocals. The funny thing is that Cliff hasn’t even met Amy Rose, even though he’s singing about her.’

And the moment that you wander far from me,
I wanna feel you in my arms again.

And you come to me on a summer breeze,
keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave.
And it’s me you need to show
how deep is your love.

Deep is your love, 
how deep is your love,
I really need to learn,
‘cause we’re living in a world of fools
breaking us down,
when they all should let us be.
We belong to you and me.

I believe in you.
You know the door to my very soul.
You’re the light in my deepest darkest hour.
You’re my saviour when I fall.

And you may not think
I care for you.
When you know down inside that I really do.
And it’s me you need to show

I can think of younger days
when living for my life
was everything a man could want to do.
I could never see tomorrow,
but I was never told about the sorrow.

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?

How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
and let me live again.

I can still feel the breeze
that rustles through the trees
and misty memories of days gone by.
We could never see tomorrow,
no one said a word about the sorrow.

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?

How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
and let me live again.

First you say you needed me,
then you give me sympathy.
They say good girls never win.
Something good in giving in.
How do I get through to you?
You must be made of stone.

Just when I was safe and sound.
Love, you built a wall around.
You take a hard line attitude.
Time to send me back to school.
Or take me, take me to your …

…house of shame,
easy on your body when you got no name.
Hold me like you know me,
I’m a falling star,
catch me if you can,
show me the way inside.

You can knock on any door.
I know what I’m looking for.
Red light, hit and run.
Time to turn the engine on.
Pretty girl lives all alone.
I must be going home.

Hot as hell and cold as ice.
Everything I sacrifice.
I got to pick up on what you do.
I just can’t get over you.
You take me, take me to your…

..house of shame,
easy on your body when you got no name.
Hold me like you know me,
I’m a falling star,
catch me if you can,
show me the way inside.

Tell me what you really want from life,
loving you, darling,
you got me infatuated,
good love is not for sale,
I nearly gave myself away.

Pretty girl lives all alone,
take me to your, take me to your
house of shame,
easy on your body when you got no name.
Hold me like you know me,
I’m a falling star,
catch me if you can,
show me the way inside.

The butler Henry Baker extinguishes the fires,
whilst Sir Frederick Harold Robinson casually retires.
Another day tomorrow, cries Alan Crayon Steel.
All must be up early to have the morning meal.
The maid comes with decanter and to the butler there
said ‘Sir here’s what you ordered’.
He said ‘no one seems to care ‘.

It must be good to live in the house of lords.
It must be good to live in the house of lords.

The house is now in darkness before the coming day.
But at five o’clock that morning, the master passed away.
The housemaid drew the curtains and the doctors watched the dawn.
And the brother Bendix sadly watched the gardener mow the lawn.

It must be sad to live in the house of lords.
It must be sad to live in the house of lords.

Grandma Mildred Marshall was pouring out the tea
when she heard about the news of Sir Frederick’s tragedy.
The hall is now in sadness and everybody cried
on the banks of Burntley River is where Sir Frederick lies.

It must be sad to live in the house of lords.
It must be sad to live in the house of lords.

 I have been lying
under a pillow of dreams

moments of swimming in cream.
 
This is the start of the end.
Goodbye.
Flowers are facing my life
and dying.
 
You are a good friend,
friendly as good friends can be.
Your father
wants you to live on his knees.
 
This is the start of the end.
Climb binding
bedsides and blue sights within,
reminding.
 
I have been lying

and feeling

This is the start of the end.
Goodbye.
Flowers are facing my life

You took it in your stride to run away and hide
Thru all the pain of battle and the breaking of your pride.

Sweet Billy James’s been asking where you’ve gone.
It’s been so many years now since you’ve taken off the gun.

Well, the grass is getting dry.
And it seems your name they’re calling; the rain, it hasn’t fallen,
Only tears shed from our eyes.

They say there isn’t grave
In the hills of West Virginia, but dying isn’t in ya.
But the rhinestone bears your name.

You’re the father of your child.
But your mind just seems to wander, let no man hold you under
While your heart is running wild.

And I’ve searched so many towns
And I’ve roamed so many places, I’ve seen so many faces,
But I’ve never known your own.

Well, there’s gonna be a day
When your drinking wine is through now, and the people close to you now
Will have you here to stay.

Home again rivers,
Home again rivers,
Come home again rivers,
Billy’s come home.

You got to walk a little slower when you’re with her.
Take the time to be tender, that’s the plan.
You got to stand a little taller while her world falls to pieces.
Only then can you hold her in your hand.
 
You got to live for every moment that she gives you.
Make the one in a million understand.
You got to stand a little taller while her world falls to pieces.
Only then can you hold her in your hand.
 
Now too many faces have come down between us.
And I was the fool to be.
And I can’t deny you the wide open spaces.
As long as she stops loving me.
 
You got to stand a little closer when you hold her.
Make her feel like a woman, understand.
You got to stand a little taller while her world falls to pieces.
Only then can you hold her in your hand.

Today you came by to tell me you are leaving me
and to say that the love
and all that we knew had just drifted away.
And I looked in your eyes
and I couldn’t bear the pain I felt inside of my heart
to think that I’m gonna be lonely again.
And if ever you go then I know at a glance
I don’t stand a chance.

Hold on to my love,
I’m nothing
and I can’t get along without you.
You’re the light of my life
and no living without your love.

It’s so hard to believe that you’re going away
couldn’t make me feel so down
‘cause I know that from this moment on
I won’t have you around.
And if ever you go then I know at a glance
that won’t stand a chance.

Hold on to my love,
I’m nothing
and I can’t get along without you.
You’re the light of my life
and no living without your love.

Oh oh baby,
nobody’s taking your place.
But for you, but for me,
our love would live on for the whole world to see.

So hold on to my love,
I’m nothing
and I can’t get along without you.
You’re the light of my life

So hold on to my love,

If my heart’s not too late for a piece of your time.
There’s been so many days since your eyes looked at mine.
In the dark of this room where the burning has grown.
You believe in your love when you’re lost and alone.
And life don’t give no reasons when the love goes away.
No answers for someone like you.

Hold me hold me.
Seems like we never get together anymore.
Hold me hold me.
Starry nights don’t come enough.
That’s what we came here for.
Hold me.

I will lay by your side.
I can warm your cold nights.
You can play in my dreams till I’m out of your sight.
In the morning my love couldn’t change where you go.
You were always my woman.
It’s the one truth I know.
So hold out when there’s no chance for your love anyway.
No diamond could shine close to you.

Hold me hold me.

Hold me hold me.

Crying in the streets,
they run for their lives.
How can you lead them to heaven,
they don’t realize?

Children of the night,
how far can we fall
that which we say is forever,
ain’t no time at all.

Father and the son,
not too young to be old,
reach out for each other when the world goes cold.
Feel so good to be home.

Are you ready for
my high civilization?
Are you ready for
my high civilization?
Are you ready for
my high civilization?
Civilization.

Everything for us to see.
The ultimate society.

Keeper of the sword,
you fight for your rights.
How can you live for the hour
when there’s no yesterday?

Dying in the streets.
Your number, your name.
All that which keeps us together
is bringing us the pain.

Thunder of the guns,
comes the criminal mind
working for the power of the evil eye.
We are never alone.
Uncivilized.

My high civilization.
Are you ready for
my high civilization?
Are you ready for
my high civilization?
Civilization.

New York, Paris, Tokyo,
Vienna to Berlin.
Baby, don’t know you.
L. A., Rome, Afghanistan
Cairo to Iran,
no city can hold you.
There’s no one in Avalon to show you
Minutes into seconds, are you ready or the end?

My high civilization.
Are you ready for
my high civilization?…

I saw you looking in the mirror
I saw you fighting with your conscience
I think you need a little time away and I may give you mine
And you can find me in the moon glow
You find me underneath your pillow
And we can find a little hideaway
Where we can go

I’m in the corner with a friend of mine
I stood with my defenses down
So many things that bring you close to me
That we be led astray
The wonder of desire
To love the things we cannot touch

Maybe we turn and say goodnight
And walk away
And then the story can go on without
A single tear
You take a chance on it 
And change the history
And for a time we fall in love with someone
So who am I to say the words that say 
We found each other
Can we imagine any hideaway is right?
And our adventure down in paradise
Borne upon the wind
And we are one with the night

Maybe we shuffle off to Rio
A little Rio de Janeiro
And then I get a little chance to say
I’m falling into you

And you and I can change the world 
If we just try (One hideaway)
This lonely heart of mine has found
A mission for your light (In your world)
To make the sense of it
And solve the mystery (In my arms)
Its just a love you forever leave
With someone

So who am I to say the words 
That say we’ve found each other? (One sunny day)
Can we imagine any hideaway is right? (In your world)
And our adventures down in paradise (In my arms)
Borne upon the wind
And we are one with the night

And our adventures down in paradise
Borne upon the wind
And we are one with the night

Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

Hey, Jude, don’t be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better.

And any time you feel the pain, hey, Jude, refrain
Don’t carry the world upon your shoulders
Well don’t you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder

Hey, Jude! Don’t let her down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember, to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey, Jude, begin
You’re waiting for someone to perform with
And don’t you know that it’s just you, hey, Jude,

going out of my mind, out of my mind, it’s true,
It’s on account of you, it’s on account of you.

Hey, I’m feeling so low,

I’ve got plenty of my own.
I don’t want to worry about tomorrow.
I don’t want to live alone.
Let me tell you now.

I don’t want to be alone.

Hey, I’m getting that way,
going out of my mind, out of my mind it’s true,
it’s on account of you, It’s on account of you,
It’s on account of you,…
