Toy Soldiers
We wither under love’s beckoning call,
assembling like toy soldiers
against its swath to fall.
Reasoning takes flight
when love comes to call,
with lowered defences
it scales our castle wall.
Resistance is hopeless
when cupid’s arrow has struck.
We just fall in line
and pray to lady luck
that this love calling
has no spattering of pain
that only joys of happiness
it will bring again and again.

Love Comes A Calling
Love Comes A Calling
When love comes a calling
we will always go that extra mile
to ensure that it is welcome
and will stay for a long while.
With open arms of tenderness
we greet love’s beckoning call
and run towards it
taking care it don’t stumble and fall,
and if we are careful
that love will continually grow
and from it new seeds it will sow.
All this can happen
when love comes a calling.

Once Cupid
Love can come from perfect strangers
or from someone we know very well.
It never lets us know until the last moment
where it will be coming from.
When cupid shoots his arrow
in the back or in the front.
You might as well give up
because the outcome is going to be the same.
You will lower your defences
and love will walk all over you.
You don’t stand a chance
once cupid has shot his arrow
and it has hit its mark.

Sweet Lady Luck
(coverdale/vandenberg)
You hold all the aces,
I never get the chance to deal
Flick of the wrist and you cut me down,
Im spinning like a roulette wheel
You say that loves a gamble
But, you play with loaded dice
You hide behind a good girl smile
With a heart stone cold as ice
But, I want it, I need it
If you dont give it Ill steal it,
Ill take it all and walk away
Lady luck,
Youre a loser in the game of love, sweet lady luck
Who you gonna call when it all falls down on you,
Sweet lady luck...
You cant stop your dealing
cos its a crying shame,
When the winner takes it all
And never ever takes the blame
But I want it, I need it
If you dont give it Ill steal it,
Ill take it all and walk away
Lady luck,
Youre a loser in the game of love, sweet lady luck
Who you gonna call when it all falls down on you
Uh, what you gonna do?
Lady luck
I need your love, I need it now,
Ive got to have it anyhow,
Sweet lady luck...
I cant win for losing,
Its tearing me apart
So Ill play the joker to your queen of broken hearts
But, I want it, I need it,
If you dont give it Ill steal it
Ill take it all and walk away
Lady luck,
Youre a loser in the game of love, sweet lady luck
Spinning like a roulette wheel, sweet lady luck
Youre a loser in the game of love, sweet lady luck
I need your love, I need it now,
Ive got to have it anyhow
Sweet lady luck..
Sweet lady luck..
Sweet lady luck..
Lady luck!

Mirror, Mirror
Been looking for love
I never could find it
While Im standing here
And he is so blinded by her silly ways
He just cant imagine
Shes playing a game
A game that he played for so long, oh
I want him to know
Just how much I love him
I wanted to show
But he just believes
Im a friend he can trust
But I wanna touch him
I love him enough
To heal all the hurt in his heart
Oh yes I do but how do I start
Mirror, mirror
On the wall
Can you tell me who to call?
When the one I love
Is loving someone who cant see
Mirror, mirror
On the wall
Tell me if hell ever fall so in love with me
Or could it be its just make believe
Boy I had a dream
Or maybe a vision
That I was your queen
Cause I fit the slipper
You took me away
To happily ever
We laughed and we made
Sweet love till the sun came again
Oh yeah we did, hmm
But that was the end, oh
Mirror, mirror
On the wall
Can you tell me who to call?
When the one I love
Is loving someone who cant see
Mirror, mirror
On the wall
Tell me if hell ever fall so in love with me
Or could it be its just make believe
Oh, if youre looking for love
Its right in your face
Ive been waiting for you
So dont run away
Fairy tales can come true
If you believe
(they can come true if you believe)
Mirror, mirror
On the wall
Can you tell me who to call?
When the one I love
Is loving someone who cant see
Mirror, mirror
On the wall
Tell me if hell ever fall so in love with me
Or could it be its just make believe
Mirror, mirror
On the wall
I wanna know, I wanna know
Is he gonna know?
That Im loving him
And Im needing him
Or will he love someone who cant see
Mirror, mirror
On the wall
Mirror, mirror

Not Gonna Be The One
(swirsky)
Here we are in a room full of broken hearts
Lovers once, but in the end we never really had a chance
You wanted to be free
Now that youre lonely
You want me back again
But Im not gonna be the one that you call
Not gonna take the fall for all your indecision
Not gonna put my back to the wall
Not gonna take the fall for all the pain youve given
Me and you, we were a dream that never could come true
In time youll see that our love was never really meant to be
And if you discover
You need a lover
Someone to break your fall
But Im not gonna be the one that you call
Not gonna take the fall for all your indecision
Not gonna put my back to the wall
Not gonna take the fall for all the pain youve given
You wanted to be free
Now that youre lonely
You want me at your arm
But Im not gonna be the one that you call
Not gonna take the fall for all your indecision
Not gonna put my back to the wall
Not gonna take the fall for all the pain youve given

Love, Love, Love
Love, Love, Love
Is just a word
Created by simpletons
And dolts
Who believe or feel that they
Have been struck by
Lightening bolts
Or one of
Cupid’s arrows
In their heart
And then
There are those
Like me
The helpless fools
Kings and queens
Of all
Simpletons and dolts
Hopeless romantics
Who
Fall in love
With words
And those
Who
Write them
Can this truly
Be considered

Never Fall in Love
I believe in love
but never fall in love
true love or lust love
I want love
but never fall in love
am I so cold
and don't have a heart
or so stubborn
and raise wall stone
I search love
but never fall in love
platonic love or passionate love
I'm loved
but never fall in love
am I afraid
to be hurt by the one
or kill it silently
before I find it's gone
I get everything
but never fall in love
I want to love
and wait all my life
should I pick one flower
and pretend it's love
pseudo love, unrequited love or mutual love
so desperate to feel
but never fall in love

Hopelessly In Love
Sometimes we fall that little further
and become hopelessly in love.
Cupid shoots his arrow a little deeper
than he really intended to
and you fall head over heels
hopelessly in love
and there is nothing you can do.
Everywhere everything is singing
from the birds to the leaves on the trees.
Your heart beats rapidly
every time you see them pass by.
You’re hopelessly in love
with that special dream,
always hoping above hope
that you will catch their eye.
Your head is amongst the clouds
day after day.
Then they stop and smile at you,
you smile back and whispery say
“I am hopelessly in love with you.”

Drift
A mistake
Through my veins
Now I ache
I'm in pain
A mistake
All it takes
Now I pray
For a change
Down fall down below
Last call time to go
To the other side
Dark is the last ride
Rotten days
Come ahead
Memories
On a deadbed
Misery
Taking place
Hopeless case
What a waste
Down fall down below
Last call time to go
To the other side
Dark is the last ride
Decay is my foe
Staring as a crow
Picking at my pride
Ruining my last ride
Down below you're on your own
No escape Here I lie
Their mistake
Took my life
Down fall down below
Last call time to go
To the other side
Dark is the last ride
Drifting down below
Drifting down below

Hero Takes A Fall
(s. hoffs/v. peterson)
Susanna
The hero is exposed when
His crimes are brought to the light of day
Wont be feeling sorry, sorry, sorry
On the judgement day
Wasnt it me who said
Therell be a price to pay
And I wont feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall
(hero takes a fall) oh no
Your mother told you stories
You substitute with girls who tell you more
Suddenly you sight a fancy chance
Since love is at your door
Were seeing through you now
I saw it all before
And I wont feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall
(hero takes a fall) oh no
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Emotion is a virtue
For you it is the one fatal flaw
Sitting on your throne and drinking
Thinking shell return your call
Every storys got an ending
Look out, here it comes, here it comes
And I wont feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall
(hero takes a fall) oh no
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Milk Film
Where is only things that they call love
Being only labeled for one time
Is it that you never fall in love?
Riding through a parish all your life
Ill be the only one
Undoing what youve done
Doubt if youll come and see
What has become of me
Seeing things that they might fall in love with
When will life become a major film?
Calling once and call again in springtime
Grab some snow and build yourself a mountain
Ill be the only one
Undoing what youve done
Doubt if youll come and see
What has become of me
Hi.............................................................bye!
Glad that I live am i
Glad that the sky is blue
Glad for the country lanes
Glad for the fall of dew
I cant take the time
Calling once and call again at film milk

Pain - 0495
Pain rained, exploded, insane fire-bright ball
sheered synapses, somehow knew
to spring the nerves' defences too.
The system, unprepared, sharp blowtorch scorch must doubly fall, little leeway left on call to cushion harm, calm recall.
Some prompter's cue triggers terra volt terror bolt jolt from out the blue
pain's reign again explodes, codes scarlet ball.

Hear God's Call!
Love is the meaning we're alive!
Love shares so others may survive!
Love cares for this world, lost souls and all!
So it lives to hear God's call!
Love lifts the spirits just to bless!
Love's gifts grant more than happiness!
They won't make us sinners doomed to fall!
For love lives to hear God's call!
Any wisdom love learns pure gold
That's meant not just for one to hold!
Love's like a kiss upon your lips!
Love's touch is more than fingertips!
Yet love's sure, here's the first great truth of all!
So love lives to hear God's call!

On The Day
You really need someone on your side
But you run away and hide
Whenever somebodys going to get through
Youve got this wall in front of you
You put your arm around me and smile
But youre thinking all the while
Yeah, your friends only go so far
However close friends think they are
On the day
On the day you fall in love
Gonna pray
Youre gonna pray that your love is enough
Youve had the world in the palm of your hand
Since you turned from child to man
No one can tell you a thing you dont know
You see your life as a one man show
But youre not whole
There are things you dont control
Youre going to know what Im talking about
On the day love finds you out
On the day
On the day you fall in love
Gonna pray
You better pray--
Its your life, you try to know
Which way the answers lie, which way to go
cause you survive, dont mean you grow
Open your eyes, look out below
Look out--
On the day
On the day you fall in love
Gonna pray
You better pray
On the day
On the day you fall in love
Gonna pray
You better pray

Long Distance Affair
Long distance affair, can't you hear my heart keeps calling for you
It's hard to show that I care, it's hard to tell if you want me there
I call your name, there's no reply, don't you feel the same?
Can't you hear my heart calling you?
I got love on the line but I can't get through
Sometimes love don't seem fair
Guess I was wrong, thinkin' you would always be there
I must be dreamin', I thought I had you feelin' the same
I'm callin' your name
Long distance affair, with just a spark, you stole my heart from me
No one ever compared, we'll never touch the memories
I call your name, there's no reply, don't you feel the same?
Can't you hear my heart calling you?
I got love on the line but I can't get through
Whatever your friends may say, what's it worth to you anyway
You can listen to them and throw it away, yeah
If you're thinkin' how it might have been
Don't think of me like I'm one of them
'Cause friends like that you got no one at all
There's love on the line, baby answer the call
'Cause you know that I love you, can't let go, baby can't you hear my
heart
(Solo)
I keep on calling your name, there's no reply, don't you feel the
same?
Can't you hear my heart calling you?
I got love on the line but I ain't got you
Can't you hear my heart calling you?
I got love on the line but I can't get through to you
Tell me it's true

The Call of Silence
I hear the silence beckoning to me again
Calling to me like an old friend
Calling me to the silence of the grave
Calling me back to the silence, I crave.
Beckoning me from my pleasant dream
Beckoning me back to a world enseamed.
The thundering call of silence
Pulls me back to my innocence

Ill Never Fall In Love Again
(burt bacharach/hal david)
What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
Thats what you get for all your trouble
Ill never fall in love again
Ill never fall in love again
What do you get when you kiss a girl
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, shell never phone you
Ill never fall in love again
Ill never fall in love again
Dont tell me what its all about
cause Ive been there and Im glad Im out
Out of those chains those chains that bind you
That is why Im here to remind you
What do you get when you give your heart
You get it all broken up and battered
Thats what you get, a heart thats shattered
Ill never fall in love again
Ill never fall in love again
Out of those chains those chains that bind you
That is why Im here to remind you
What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
Ill never fall in love again
Ill never fall in love again
Ill never fall in love again
Ill never fall in love again
