When You Are On Top
I need a bed
That nobodys slept in
I need some air
Nobodys been breathing
I need a thought
That I can believe in
Is this fog
Or is the building really burning
I need you now
Much more than ever
Im making new friends
But none of them matter
Maybe now
We dont fit together
But youve got your arms around
No one but strangers
I feel fine
With the sun in my eyes
The wind in my hair
Im falling out of this sky
Im doing better than I thought I would
But nothings ever as good
As when youre on top
I want to wake up
And just start running
Into a ditch
Or straight up a mountain
I want to get
What no one's been getting
Make it deeper than hell
Or make it higher than heaven
I need someone
Whose price hasnt been met
When everybodys disappearing
By the minute
There isnt anyone left
I havent met yet
And I remember
When they hadnt gotten to you yet
I feel fine
With the sun in my eyes
The wind in my hair
When Im falling out of this sky
Im doing better than I thought I would
But nothings ever as good
As when youre on top
Half way up
And over this rainbow
I heard a shot
Fire up from the ghetto
As I drop
I didnt think youd follow
Just didnt know
The sky was this shallow
I need a garden
Where nothings forbidden
I need an apple
No ones been eatin
I want to start again
Back at the beginnin
I had a vision
That this feeling maybe has an ending.

Say What
Say what, make out
Say what, make out
Its a crazy situation
Keeps my body hot
I want infatuation
Something you aint got
This fire inside
A love so bright
Say what
The hell you think youve done
Drive me higher and higher
Make out (make out)
When nothings going on
Oh youre such a liar
I got no future
Whats the use in keeping tight
Always wrapped up in yourself
Oh youre alright
Why should I fall
No love at all
Say what
The hell you think youve done
Drive me higher and higher
Make out (make out)
When nothings going on
Oh youre such a liar
Mama said youre as good as dead
If you dont polish up yourself
(love dont come either)
Say what
Love, love, love
(love dont come either)
Make out
Whyd you try to fool me
I see, got no heart
Threw me tried to rue me
Tore my head apart
See your lover move on
See right from wrong
Say what
The hell you think youve done
Drive me higher and higher
Make out (make out)
When nothings going on
Oh youre such a liar
Mama said youre as good as dead
If you dont polish up yourself
Say what
The hell you think youve done
Drive me higher and higher
Make out (make out)
When nothings going on
Oh youre such a liar
Say what
The hell you think youve done
Drive me higher and higher
Make out (make out)
When nothings going on
Oh youre such a liar

Sitting
Oh Im on my way, I know I am, somewhere not so far
From here
All I know is all I feel right now, I feel the power growing
In my hair
Sitting on my own not by myself, everybodys here with me
I dont need to touch your face to know, and I dont need to
Use my eyes to see
I keep on wondering if I sleep too long, will I always wake
Up the same (or so)?
And keep on wondering if I sleep too long, will I even wake up
Again or something
Oh Im on my way I know I am, but times there were when
I thought not
Bleeding half my soul in bad company, I thank the moon i
Had the strength to stop
Im not making love to anyones wishes, only for that light I see
cause when Im dead and lowered low in my grave, thats gonna
Be the only thing thats left of me
And if I make it to the waterside, will I even find me a boat
(or so)?
And if I make it to the waterside, Ill be sure to write you
Not or something
Oh Im on my way, I know I am, somewhere not so far
From here
All I know is all I feel right now, I feel the power growing
In my hair
Oh life is like a maze of doors and they all open from the
Side youre on
Just keep on pushing hard boy, try as you may
Youre going to wind up where you started from
Youre going to wind up where you started from

Hold On
Dont rush me just this once
I want to make this moment last
Slow down the pace, theres no hurry
I cant let another pass me by again
Let me be the one to say when Ive had enough
Just let me close my eyes, memorize
The way things are this minute
So when youre gone I can go on
If memory can hold within it what Im feeling
Should time try fading or stealing something away
Chorus:
Hold on, nothings the same
Tell me why I feel this way
Life wouldnt be worth living without you
All along Ive been the pretender
But now thats gone forever
Nobodys ever loved me like you do
Nobodys broken through
Got to concentrate, file away
Every last detail
Dont want to lost whats going down
I want to remember everything Im feeling
Should time try fading or stealing something away
Chorus

This Photograph Is Proof
Well, i'll wait till you listen
I wont say a word
to follow your instincts
just never worked for me
your silent but strong, (yeah, I'm playing that card)
and your noticing nothing again
Now I'm lying on the table
with everything you said
keeping mind the way that it felt
when the most I could do was to just blame myself
(yeah, I'm playing that card)
when the most I could do was to just blame myself
and I know you know, everything
I know you didnt mean it
I know you didnt mean it
I know you know, everything (drop everything)
I know you didn't mean it (start it all over)
I know you didn't mean it (remember more then youd like to forget)
So, we're talking forever
and you almost feel better
but, betters no excuse for tonight
you see, it's never bad enough
just to leave or you give up
but, its never good enough to feel right
Now I'm lying on the table
with everything you said
it will all catch up eventually
well, it caught up and honestly
the weight of my decisions
were impossible to hold
but they were never yours
but they were never yours
Well I, know you know, everything
I know you didnt mean it
I know you didnt mean it
I know you know, everything (drop everything)
I know you didn't mean it (start it all over)
I know you didn't meant it (remember more then youd like to forget)
Drop everything, start it all over
remember more then youd like to forget [x2]
Would you like to forget
would you like to forget
drop everything, start it all over
well, drop everything start it all over (would you like to forget)
drop everything start it all over
start it all...
Well I, know you know, everything
I know you didnt mean it
I know you didnt mean it
I know you know, everything (drop everything)
I know you didnt mean it (start it all over)
I know you didnt meant it (remember more then youd like to forget)
I know you know
I know you know...you know, you know, you know...

Nobodys Business
Hey, if youre moving too fast
Dont you want this thing last
But if you start moving slow and -
Hey, pretty mama, you just will have to go, because -
Its nobodys business but my own

No-no-no-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no, no-no-no
No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no, no-no-no
But if you start acting mean
Then Ill have to mess up the scene
But if you start treating me nice
Hey, now baby, Im gonna have to raise your price
Because its nobodys business but my own
Its nobodys business but my own
No-no-no-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no, no-no-no
No-no-no-no, no-no-no, no-no-no

Across The Universe
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away
Across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on
Across the universe
Thoughts meander like the restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter, shades of life are ringing through my open ears
Inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love, which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on and on
Across the universe
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothings gonna
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothings gonna
Noth, nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change it
Nothings gonna change it
Hey yeah, nothings gonna change it
Nothings gonna change it
Nothings gonna change it
Nothings gonna change it
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change it (nothings gonna change it)
Nothings gonna change it (no no no no no)

Nothings So Far Away
Written by dewey bunnell, bill mumy, and robert haimer, 1991
Found on encore: more greatest hits and highway.
Another evening, the rain falling down
Its been a long time, since youve come around
A little laughter, and we had it all
Its so misleading, the things you recall
Turning the pages
We open the cages
Now I know that
Nothings so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothings so far away
Take a look at the person inside
You realize there is nothing to hide
I remember the things that we said
So very simple the lives that we led
Turning the pages
We open the cages
Now I know that
Nothings so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothings so far away
I recall how it used to be
And I can feel it, feel it surrounding me
Turning the pages
We open the cages
Now I know that
Nothings so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothings so far away
I recall how it used to be
And I can feel it, feel it surrounding me
Oh, nothings so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothings so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothings so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothings so far away as yesterday, wo, oh

Dont Say Nothings Changed
Written by kim wilde
Dont say nothings changed with you
I can hear it in your sighs
The way that you cant look me in the eyes
Its spelling out bad news
So dont say its the same we two
No I cant say Im suprised
cos I could see it in your eyes
And no you dont have to lie
Baby you dont have to lie
Why cant it be like yesterday
The feelings gone
But I just want to say that I love you know
And Im holding on for you
Is that a silly thing to do
So dont say nothings changed with you
Now were running out of time
And Ive got to give up something that was mine
Oh baby doesnt it seem cruel
So dont say its the same we two
cos were already worlds apart
And now the lonliness will start
Oh boy youre breaking my heart
Baby youre breaking my heart
So dont say nothings changed with you

Whenever I Breathe Out (Positive/Negative)
Hey, havent seen you around in a while [x4]
I didnt go to work for a month
I didnt leave my bed for eight days straight
I havent hung out with anyone
cause if I did, Id have nothing to say
I didnt feel angry or depressed
I didnt feel anything at all
I didnt want to go to bed
And I didnt want to stay up late
When youre living your life, well, thats the price you pay
Whenever I breath out, youre breathing it in
Whenever I speak out, youre speaking out
I didnt go to work for a month
I didnt leave my bed for eight days straight
I havent hung out with anyone
cause if I did, Id have nothing to say

Baby Britain
Baby britain feels the best floating over a sea of vodka
Separated from the rest
Fights problems with bigger problems
Sees the ocean fall and rise
Counts the waves that somehow didnt hit her
Water pouring from her eyes
Alcoholic and very bitter
For someone half as smart youd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I cant help until you start
We knocked another couple back
The dead soldiers lined up on the table
Still prepared for an attack
They didnt know theyd been disabled
Felt a wave a rush of blood
You wont be happy til the bottles broken
And youre out swimming in the flood
You kept back you kept unspoken
For someone half as smart youd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I cant help until you start
You got a look in your eye
When youre saying goodbye
Like you wanna say hi
The light was on but it was dim
Revolvers been turned over
And now its ready once again
The radio was playing crimson and clover
London bridge is safe and sound
No matter what you keep repeating
Nothings gonna drag me down
To a death thats not worth cheating
For someone half as smart youd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I cant help until you start
For someone half as smart youd be a work of art
You put yourself apart

Straight From The Heart
By dickey betts & johnny cobb
Copyright 1981 pangola publishing co
Transcribed by paul gongola
Youve heard every line before
My lifes a revolving door
With no way out and no way in
You know just whats on my mind
Could you take a chance one more time
Maybe we could start all over again
Straight from the heart
Baby my love
Your eyes cant tell a lie
I can see what youre feeling inside
Dont give up before we start
cause this time love is
Straight from the heart
I know what theyre telling you
I wish I could say that its not true
Love is so hard to find
But I never took the time
I never let you in
Please let me try again
Straight from the heart
Your eyes cant tell a lie
I can see what youre feeling inside
Dont give up before we start
cause this time love is
Straight from the heart
I thought I knew about love
But I didnt know at all
Didnt take the time to see
Until I started to fall
Straight from the heart

Didnt You Know Shes Gone
(phil vassar, don sampson)
Said the cloud to the sun, todays no time to shine
Didnt you know shes gone
Said the rain to the moon, youre not needed tonight
Didnt you know shes gone
You can keep your magical moments we dont needem round here
Didnt you know shes gone by now
I thought youd have figured it out
Cant you please forget her and just move on
Didnt you know shes gone
Said the tear to the pillow, watch out Im ready to fall
Didnt you know shes gone
Said the pillow to the tear, that aint gonna help at all
Didnt you know shes gone
Why do you insist upon crying, whats the matter with you
Didnt you know shes gone by now
I thought youd have figured it out
Cant you please forget her and just move on
Didnt you know shes gone
Said myself to me, hey man why cant you see
Shes history, shes gone and she aint comin back
Said the mirror to the man, take a good look at yourself
Didnt you know shes gone
Said the man to the mirror a few choice words to myself
Didnt you know shes gone
Talk about a revelation, right between the eyes
Didnt you know shes gone by now
I thought youd have figured it out
Cant you please forget her and just move on
Didnt you know shes gone
Didnt you know shes gone by now
I thought youd have figured it out
Cant you please forget her and just move on
Didnt you know shes gone

If This Is It
Ive been phoning night and morning
I heard you say tell him Im not home
Now youre confessing, but Im still guessing
Ive been your fool for so so long
Girl dont lie, just to save my feelings
Girl dont cry, and tell me nothings wrong
Girl dont try to make up phony reasons
Id rather leave than never believe
If this is it
Please let me know
If this aint love youd better let me know
If this is it
I want to know
If this aint love baby, just say so
Youve been thinking
And Ive been drinking
We both know that its just not right
Now youre pretending
That its not ending
Youll say anything to avoid a fight
Girl dont lie, and tell me that you need me
Girl dont cry, and tell me nothings wrong
Ill be alrightone way or another
So let me go, or make we want to stay
If this is it
Please let me know
If this aint love youd better let me know

If this aint love baby, just say so

Centrepiece
The more Im with you pretty baby
The more I feel my love increase
Im building all my dreams around you
My happiness will never cease
But nothings any good without you
Cause baby youre my centrepiece
I buy a house and garden somewhere
Along a country road a piece
A little cottage on the outskirts
Where we can really find release
But nothings any good without you
Cause baby youre my centrepiece
Hey baby come and go

Nobodys Business
I went out in the darkness
Just searching for someplace to be
Wasnt looking for trouble
I guess it was looking for me
And I knew I was wasting my time
But it was nobodys business
Nobodys business but mine
I was taking some comfort
I needed a break from the rain
I guess I was mistaken
And someone remembered my name
But I knew I was doin just fine
And it was nobodys business
Nobodys business but mine
Well I guess for some
Revenge is sweet
Though it be once removed
I hope you feel better
I dont know what you proved
Well, yonder comes the emperor, boys
He sure looks fine in blue
I hope you feel better, babe
I know youre scared too
Well it sure makes you wonder
The things that some people will say
They can see black and white but they
Dont seem to notice the gray
What a price for a victimless crime
When it was nobodys business
Nobodys business but mine
Yeah, it was nobodys business
Nobodys business but mine

Hit The Floor
There are just too many times when people try to put their trust in me
Wondering when I think of you well I protect you out of courtesy
Too many times that I held on but when I didnt you push away
Afraid to say what is wrong and right, afraid to say what I need to say
Too many things that you say about me when Im not around
You think you have the upper hand and you got to put me down
Well I got so many sad thoughts of you its about as much as I can stand
So I wait till the upper hand is mine
One minute youre up top
(you better not want to draw)
Making a rough start
(just before you hit the floor)
One minute youre up top
(you better not miss a shot)
Making a rough start
(you think you won)
And then its all gone
So many people like me that put so much trust in all the lies
So concerned with better things and just say what we feel inside
So many people like me walk on eggshells all day long
All of those and all they want is to feel like Ive been stepped on
There are so many things you say that make me feel you cross the line
Watch this I will show you all I am counting down the time
Well I got so many sad thoughts of you its about as much as I can stand
So I wait till the upper hand is mine
One minute youre up top
(you better not want to draw)
Making a rough start
(just before you hit the floor)
One minute youre up top
(you better not miss a shot)
Making a rough start
(you think you won)
And then its all gone
I know I cant trust or see the way you say
And now I realise youre byast but youre right anyway
And now your eyes have got you thinking up for what you saw
I know now somethings got to fall
One minute youre up top
(you better not want to draw)
Making a rough start
(just before you hit the floor)
One minute youre up top
(you better not miss a shot)
Making a rough start
(you think you won)
And then its all gone
