Out of the ruins
Out from the wreckage
Can't make the same mistake this time
We are the children
The last generation
We are the ones they left behind
And i wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains
We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the thunderdome
Looking for something we can rely on
There's got to be something better out there
Love and compassion, their day is coming
All else are castles built in the air
And i wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains
All the children say
We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the thunderdome
What do we do with our lives
We leave only a mark
Will our story shine like a life
Or end in the dark
Give it all or nothing

Typical Male

Grammy nomination: best pop vocal performance, female (87)
Tell me lawyer what to do
I think Im falling in love with you
Defend me from the way I feel
Wont you give me some advice
On how to handle my private life
Im sure we can make a deal
I confess Im a fool for men with a clever mind
But your intellect aint no match with this heart of mine
All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
Im just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male
Your sense of justice Ill embrace
But your defence dont help my case
Im deep in trouble with the law
Something about authority
Seems to bring out the bad in me
Hey lawyer gotta catch me when I fall
Oh they say that you match your wits with the best of them
But I know when Im close youre just like the rest of them
All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
Im just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male
So put your books aside
Loosen off the suit and tie
Gotta open up your heart and let me in
Open up your heart and let me in

One Of The Living
(h. knight)
Producer: mike chapman
Albums: mad max beyond thunderdome soundtrack (85),
Grammy award: best rock vocal performance, female (86)
In the desert sun every step that you take could be the final one
In the burning heat hanging on the edge of destruction
You cant stop the pain of your children crying out in your head
They always said that the living would envy the dead
So now youre gonna shoot bullets of fire
Dont wanna fight but sometimes youve got to
Youre some soul survivor
Theres just one thing youve got to know
Youve got ten more thousand miles to go
Because youre one of the living
And if we cant stick together
One of the living
Whos gonna make it tonight
Walk tall, cool, collected and savage
Walk tall, bruised, sensual, ravaged
Its every man for himself, every woman, every child
A new breed, ferocious and wild
And all they want to do is shoot bullets of fire
They wanna fight and sometimes youve got to
Youre some soul survivor
Theres just one thing youve got to know
Youve got ten more thousand years to go
Because youre one of the living
And if we cant stick together
One of the living
Whos gonna make it tonight

Something Beautiful Remains
(t. britten/ g. lyle)
Producer: terry britten
Album: wildest dreams (96)
Tears will leave no stain
Time will ease the pain
For every light that fades
Something beautiful remains
Were living in a world of stars and dust
Between heaven and all that surrounds us
Were travellers here, spirits passing through
And the love we give, is all that will endure
Hey now, what we had is gone
But I still remember you
Just like a rose after the rain
Something beautiful remains
Tears will leave no stain
Time will ease the pain
For every light that fades
Something beautiful remains
Now the darkness falls, the suns going down
One by one, the stars are coming out
Tide comes in, washes footprints from the sand
As one day ends, a new day must begin
Hey now, though we are apart
Youre here forever in my dreams
Hey now, love is lost and gained
(what you gonna do about it, what you gonna say)
Something beautiful remains
Tears will leave no stain
Time will ease the pain
For every light that fades
Something beautiful remains
And you wonder sometimes how we carry on
When youve lost the love you knew
But its alright, its alright
To your own heart be true

What You Get Is What You See
(t. britten, g. lyle)
Producer: terry britten
Albums: break every rule(86), simply the best (us-91), the collected recordings (94)
Some boys got the look of a greek adonis
Some boys try to talk you off your feet
Some boys theyre gods gift to woman
Some boys think theyre sweet enough to eat
Try to change the habit of a lifetime
Dont even try
Cause when you cut down deeper than the icing
You realise
What you get is what you see
Aint nothing more to it
And if you wanna love a woman like me
It takes a man to do it
If what you get is what you see
Then I dont want your kind of love
Some guys got lips that you cant help kissing
And some guys got a smile you cant resist
Some guys gotta build a reputation
They just wanna add you to the list
You got a lot of physical attraction
I cant deny
But can you guarantee me satisfaction
While Im still waiting, waiting, waiting....
What you get is what you see
Aint nothing more to it
And if you wanna love a woman like me
It takes a man to do it
If what you get is what you see
Then I dont want your kind of love
So let me see your cards on the table
Before I buy
I always read the writing on the label
So give me reason to believe theres more to you than meets the eye

The lights are on but youre not home
Your mind is not your own
Your body sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes
You cant eat, you cant sleep
Theres no doubt youre in deep
Your throat is tight, you cant breathe
Another kiss is all you need
You like to think that youre immune to the stuff, oh yeah
Its closer to the truth, you know
Youre gonna have to face it
You might as well face it, youre addicted to love
You see the signs but you cant read
Youre running at a different speed
Your heart beats at double time
Another kiss and youll be mine
One-track mind, you cant be saved
Another young love is all you crave
And if the sun left you
You dont mind if you do
You like to think that youre immune to the stuff oh yeah
Its closer to the truth, you see
Youre gonna have to face it
Youre gonna have to face that youre addicted to love
You might as well face it, youre addicted to love

Two People
(t. britten, g. lyle)
Producer: terry britten
Album: break every rule (86)
Two people living on the edge of life
Are people running out of dreams and time
I can hear it when you tell me so
I can feel it but I cant let go
Two people gotta stick together
And love one another, save it for a rainy day
Some people gotta stay whatever
And give one another shelter on a rainy day
Two people living in the way we do
Are people trying to keep a love anew
What to say to make some sense of it
What to do to make the feeling fit
Two people gotta stick together
And love one another, save it for a rainy day
Some people gotta stay whatever
And give one another shelter on a rainy day
Ill come running to your rescue
You gotta stand by me
Theres a lot of love between us
We should never let go

I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh, and like that river Ive been running ever since
Its been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is
Its been too hard living and Im affraid to die
I dont know whats up there beyond the sky
Its been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is
I go to the movies and I go around in town
Everybody there keeps telling me dont hang around
Its been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is
Then I go to my brother
And I say brother, please
But he just winds up, knocking me
Back down on my knees
Sometimes I thought I wouldnt last for long
But now I think Im able to carry on
Its been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is

A prisoner of your love
Entangled in your web
Hot whispers in the night
Im captured by your spell
Oh yes Im touched by this show of emotion
Should I be fractured by your lack of devotion
Should i, should i?
You better be good to me
Thats how its gotta be now
Cause I dont have no use
For what you losely call the truth
You better be good to me
I think its also right
That we dont need to fight
We stand face to face
And you present your case
And I know you keep telling me that you love me
And I really do wanna believe
But did you think Id just accept you in blind faith
Oh sure babe, anything to please you
You better be good to me
Thats how its gotta be now
Cause I dont have the time
For your over loaded lines
You better be good to me
And I really dont see why its so hard to be good to me
And I dont understand whats your plan that you cant be good to me
What I cant feel I surely cannot see, why cant you be good to me
And if its not real I do not wish to see, why cant you be good to me

Should you stay, should you go
Youre beggining to see
I go hot, I go cold
Its just the devil in me
Youve got to understand I am in love with a beautiful man
So if youre feeling insecure youve really no cause to be
I want you near me, dont you run away
I just got used to having you around
I want you near me, come on here and stay
Dont let me down
Youre so good with your hands
To help me with a hook or a zip
Indispensable thats what you are
For the occasional kiss
Im only playing games with you, I cant be nice without being cruel
I know its not fair, but I make the rules
I want you near me, dont you run away
I just got used to having you around
I want you near me, come on here and stay
Dont let me down
All I want, Ive decided
Is your attention undivided
I want you near, dont turn away
I want you near me, wont you stay

Life is Ventriloquism
Life is cheap fiction novel filled wit bullshit and lies. Life is like a video game you play till u die but u only got one chance to succeed. Life is cheap and sometimes does not even feel real it feels like were puppets on the government’s leash. I wish that the dreams we have come true and you can be that super hero you wanted to be when u were five but no u have to work and do this and that but beside the point I rather work for a living than collect money on the streets or hustle your way out of debt. You control your life nobody else does so be happy if u have a successful life and keep living it graduate high school peruse the dreams u had as a little kid if that what u want. Don’t let any one tell you how to live your life. Because theirs is no better than yours. Like I said up above life if a video game u play till u die but u only get on chance. No ones life is better than anyone else is because we are all the same person. There’s a saying about life eat well stay fit die anyway. So in reality to the end of life another way or another we all going to die someway

Y know, every now and then
I think you might like to hear something from us
Nice and easy
But theres just one thing
You see we never ever do nothing
Nice and easy
We always do it nice and rough
So were gonna take the beginning of this song
And do it easy
Then were gonna do the finish rough
This is the way we do proud mary
And were rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Listen to the story
I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud mary keep on burning
And were rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in memphis
Pumped a lot of tane down in new orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud mary keep on burning
And were rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some people who live
You dont have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give

Until You Come Back To Me
Though you don't call anymore
I sit and wait in vain
I guess I'll rap on your door
Tap on your window pane
I want to tell you baby
The changes I've been going through
Missing you, listen you
'till you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do
Why did you have to decide
You had to set me free
I'm gonna swallow my pride
I'm gonna beg you to (please baby please) see me
I'm gonna walk by myself
Just to prove that my love is true
Oh, for you baby
'till you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do
Living for you my dear
Is like living in a world of constant fear
In my plea, I've got to make you see
That our love is dying
Although your phone you ignore
Somehow I must explain
I'm gonna rap on your door
Tap on your window pane
I'm gonna camp on your step
Until I get through to you
I've got to change your view baby
'till you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do

Angel of the Sky
Some people don't know you like I do
Some people don't trust you like I do
Some people would rather choose a fool,
because they don't know you like I do
As a result, people fear the night,
the dangerous creatures that lurk within.
They bring their hopes completely down,
until surrender is hard to resist.
In contrast, I do love the night
There's awesome creatures that may exist,
during the times when I go out.
That's when I know that they do live
So I do not fear the night,
because there's miracles waiting outside,
once I look at the beautiful sky,
because lying in that beautiful sky,
is the angel of the sky, the hero in our lives.
The angel of the sky
The hero in our lives
And I don't fear the time;
there's lots of time for all to pass-by.
Once you look at the gorgeous sky,
pray to God to give you light.
You will see that there is time.
He is the light of all our lives,
The inspiration of my entire life,
The buried treasure that I find,
and what I'll live for till I die.
In the sky lies the angel of the sky,
my hero, my God, and my entire life.
My darkness is lighted by his light
He makes my life a better life
The angel of the sky
The hero in our lives
But some people don't know you like I do
Others don't trust you the way I do
Some would choose a fool rather than you,
because they don't know you like I do.
They don't know the wonders of the sky
They don't know the meaning of this life
Or the times it takes from having to try,
to finally achieve something in this life.
It's hard to describe this art of life
It's hard to describe all of my difficult times,
because once in my life the light did die;
it wasn't easy to restore the light.
The light was dying and I fell behind
Hope I tried finding but I didn't know you
The light was dying and so was I
But hope I tried finding till I found you
So when I stare at the night, and the stars in the sky
A signal uncovered I try to find
One that leads my life back into your light,
to live in harmony all the time.
I am not scared of the taunting dark
Miracles await to eventually spark
For the very first time, if you just look at the sky,
because lying in the sky is the hero of my life
He's the sun that brings us immense light,
the love that always glides my life,
the strength that helps me win a fight.
He's what I'll live for till I die
In the sky lies the angel of the sky,
my hero, my God, and my entire life.
Looking at the sky brings me peace inside
I smile at knowing his presence lies in my life.
The angel of the sky
The hero in our lives
Some people don't know you like I do
Others don't trust you the way I do
Some people will never trust you like I do
They do not know the wonderful things that you can do,
by being the angel of the sky,
the hero in my life.
The hero in my life
The angel that lies in the sky
You're the angel of the sky
The hero in my life
The angel of the sky
The hero in my life

The Video Shop
The local factorys been pulled down
By an overseas corporation
Now all of my brothers are looking around
For alternative occupation
I was sitting by the telly with my brother, kenny
When suddenly the penny dropped
While all of my brothers are sitting at home
Ive got a bank loan and Ive opened up my very own
Video shop
Video shop
At the video shop
I can fly, fly you away
Comedy and tragedy are all sitting on my shelf
And if youve got a fantasy
For a small rental fee
You can set yourself free
At my video shop
At my video shop
At the video shop
I can fly, fly you away
At the video shop
Let me fly, fly you away
From all of the depression in you head
Caused by all the living in the red
Ive got a bootleg version of citizen kane
A second hand copy of psycho
Ive taped them off the telly so you shouldnt complain
And theres no guarantee youll get your money back again
From my video shop
My video shop
If you want to escape, I can rent you a tape
To relieve your situation
If you feel a bit low, I got a good peep show
cos everybody knows almost anything goes
At my video shop
At my video shop
One fifty a day and Ill fly, fly you away
Its nothing to pay to fly far, far away
I can help you through that lonely night
Ive got technicolour, black and white
I can guide you through those empty days
Make you smile and take your blues away
O let me fly you away
At my video shop
Fly, fly you away
Another factorys been knocked down
But nobody ever complains
And all of my brothers are customers now
We all play video games
I can see it in the eyes of all the lonely wives
If theyre bored and they feel like a change
I do sales, rentals, even a swop
And if you feel like a change, well it can all be arranged
At my video shop
At my video shop
At my video shop
At my video shop
Let me fly, fly you away
And everyone who walks in through that door
Has got something that theyre looking for
At my video shop
At my video shop
At the video shop
I can fly, fly you away
At the video shop
Let me fly, fly you away
Oh, at the video shop
Oh, at the video shop
Oh, at the video shop

Que Sera
They call to her from across the street
But they dont know her name
Shes in the wrong place at the wrong time
Whos to blame
She wonders how to change
The life shes living
She wonders if shell ever get away
As far as I can see, the writings on the wall
Theres no return, we live, we learn
The game goes on and on and
Que sera
I like you but I dont
Really want to take you home
Que sera
Its a lonely life
Living on my own
Que sera
Whats it gonna be, whats it gonna be
She left her home when she was seventeen
Simply disappeared in the rain
Those were bad times so it was high time
She knows shed do it again
She wonders how
Shes gonna make a living
She wonders if shell make it through the day
As far as I can see, Ive seen it all before
A lonely girl in a big bad world
The game goes on and on and

Change Of Heart
(terry britten/graham lyle)
Youre trying to tell me something
Every time I come near
I got a feeling the message
Is the one I dont want to hear
You can deny all you want to
But I know you enough to know
Why not come right out and say it
Youve been trying to let me down slow
So lets talk before the tears drop
Youve had a change of heart
Well I guess thats up to you
I couldnt change my heart
Even if I wanted to
Youve had a change of heart
Your kiss sends a message
And I detect the signs
I got enough understanding
Of a lover to realize
That you cant make him love you
Though I give you my best
Youre keeping your heart at a distance
And it breaks me up to confess
Change of heart
Well I guess thats up to you
I couldnt change my heart
Even if I wanted to
Change of heart
Baby, everyone to talk to
Youve had a change of heart
Is this just a notion
A phase that will pass
A mixed up emotion
Or is this change gonna last?
Baby lets talk
Before the tears drop
Youve had a change of heart
Well I guess thats up to you
I couldnt change my heart
Even if I wanted to
Change of heart
Everyone to talk to
Youve had a change of heart
Am I losing you, losing you
Change of heart
I couldnt change my heart
Am I losing you, losing you
I couldnt change my heart

So I'm gone with the wind
I won't look back
When I head into the future
Set sail I'm all go
When to come I don't know
But now I feel I can do it all
But leaving you
It must be so
On my way now
At the turning point here
It's time now
I'm going into high gear
I know how
I'm gonna make it all clear
And leave without no fear
Now the time has come for you
you're on your way
You will change the world

All the things you ever want to do
You will change your life and make it all

Had to be done while I still
Had power left
To fulfil the promises

On my way but
The road is long and winding
But I will find the path
I know it must be so
On my way now
At the turning point here
It's time now
I'm going into high gear
I know how
I'm gonna make it all clear
And leave without no fear
Now the time has come for you

Change your world now
I don't know how
I'm on my way
You always say

If I just find a way
Now the time has come for you

You will change the world

You will change your life and make it all

Baby tell me what youre trying to prove
Playing games with my heart
Hey now listen, I aint gonna take one more night
Youre the one who broke the rules
And Im the one who played the fool
Now youre trying to tell me its alright
You should know better than to hurt a friend
Youll never get another chance again
Youll be back where you started
I know you wont admit it but youre broken-hearted
Back where you started
You think its gonna be easy but it just gets harder, harder
You had a way with words
One look and I was under your spell
I didnt know should I stay or should I run
You cant deny you told me lies
Loveem and leaveem baby, thats your style
Im not affraid to take life as it comes
You play with fire I guess youll never learn
You mess with me babe, you re gonna get burned
Youll be back where you started
I know how it feels when youve been discarded
Back where you started
You think you got it made but it wont get you far, no it wont get you far
Whos gonna help ya, throw you a lifetime
Ill tell you one thing, youve really done it this time
You took your one chance and let it slip away
