Lift You Up
(john critchley)
Your mind is all cluttered now
But you drag yourself along somehow
Through dark dreams of that visit you in the night
Obscure fragments with broad daylight
Watch me now
What did you say about what Ive done
What do you want to know, why or how come?
Havent you learned yet that it never ends
Back and forth and around, here it comes again
Chorus
Watch me now
And Ill lift you up if I can
Watch me now
Youre eyes are wild and your nerves exposed
But you havent lost anything, not by a mile, not yet
Can yo uremember the good times
They can be back soon, better than before
Chorus

Ode To Boy
When he moves I watch him from behind
He turns and laughter flickers in his eyes
Intent and direct when he speaks, I watch his lips
And when he drives I love to watch his hand
White and smooth almost feminine, almost american, I have to watch him.
(chorus)
In his face age descends on youth, exaggeration on the truth
He caught me looking then but soon his eyes forgot
And everything he seems to do reflects just another shade of blue
I saw him searching into you and ached a while
I watch his lips caress the glass,
His fingers stroke its stem and pass
To lift a cigarette at last, he dries his eyes
From a shadow by the stair
I watch as he weeps unaware
That Im in awe of his despair, but I am there
(chorus repeat)

I Cant Believe Its Over
We should talk
Thats what you said to me
On the beach
You know the place will be
So here we sit
Together in the sand
I hear you saying
You hope Ill understand
The love you used to feel
You say its not the same
When I reach for you
You just turn away, oh baby
Chorus:
I cant believe its over
I cant believe youre breaking my heart
I cant believe its over
Ooh, baby
I cant believe its over
(I cant believe, I cant believe that youre gone)
Its over
(I cant believe it girl)
Like a wave
Youre drifting out to sea
What can I do girl
To bring you back to me
There must be
Something I can say (something I can say)
To change your mind
To make you want to stay
Now youre tellin me
You found somebody new
You wanna be with him
And that hes good to you
Oh my baby
Chorus
I watch you walk away
Disappearing in the dark
Youre not coming back
And its tearing me apart
I said its tearing me apart
Chorus and adlib
I cant believe its over, damn

Without Someone
I watch the cars move
I watch the lights up on the window
I walk along the street
Im only thinking of you
I watch the clock staring from the wall
It hardly moves at all
Its you Im waiting for.
Chorus:
Without someone I can depend on
Im lost without someone
As I go on, I hope youre remembering Im lost without someone.
All alone, no one around
I watch the shadows falling faster
The city lights begin to glow
And then I start to realize
I count the hours as they slip away
Into another day
Wondering where youll stay.
Repeat chorus
Still watching the cars move
Still watching the lights upon the window
Im walking down the street
Im only thinking of you
I hear the night as it calls to me
It plays a symphony
It says youre gone from me.
Repeat chorus

Red Lights
(d. pickerill/p. odonoughue)
You stop on a red light, your life starts again on green
You watch all the colours then fall back into a dream
Theres headlights behind you, they flash out a silver surprise
You go for the hand brake, theres madness behind your eyes
Chorus:
The road goes on for mile and miles
You rush cos you havent got the time
Stop, stop, stop for the red light
Yay, yay, yay is for the green
One, one, one Im on a blue light
Keep your licence clean
He flicks on the amber, a machine gun in all but name
You push down the lever, well, two can play that game
As red lights rush by you theyre vivid and red as blood
The chase makes you feel so good
The road goes on for mile and miles
You rush cos you havent got the time
Dont, dont dont go on a red light
Yay, yay, yay is for the green
One, one, one Im on a blue light
Keep your licence clean
The flash lines are flowing, streaking by so fast
Signposts are flying and grey rain is slanting past
The colours are spinning, a pain on the side of your face
And blackness surrounds you, you finally lost the race
The road goes on for mile and miles
You rush cos you havent got the time
Dont, dont dont go on a red light
Yay, yay, yay wait for the green
One, one, one Im on a blue light
Keep your licence clean

Someone To Watch Over Me
Theres a saying old, says that love is blind
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
So Im going to seek a certain lad Ive had in mind
Looking everywhere, havent found him yet
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret
Id like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Theres a somebody Im longin to see
I hope that he, turns out to be
Someone wholl watch over me
Im a little lamb whos lost in the wood
I know I could, always be good
To one wholl watch over me
Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
Wont you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me
(bridge)
Wont you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me

You Just Havent Earned It Yet, Baby
If youre wondering why
All the love that you long for eludes you
And people are rude and cruel to you
Ill tell you why

You just havent earned it yet, baby
You just havent earned it, son
You just havent earned it yet, baby
You must suffer and cry for a longer time

If youre wondering why
When all I wanted from life was to be famous
I have tried for so long, its all gone wrong

You just havent earned it yet, baby
And Im telling you now ...
Ill tell you why

Today I am remembering the time
When they pulled me back
And held me down
And looked me in the eyes and said
You just havent earned it yet, baby
You just havent earned it, my son
You just havent earned it yet, baby
You must stay on your own for slightly longer
You just havent earned it yet baby
And Im telling you now ...
You just havent earned it yet, baby

And then you wonder why stand at the bar

Light Of Love
Standing at the terminal, I can almost hear the music
Coming from the cold and chilly early night
When we get to the gate, baby, all of the things that were said
Will they turn you 'round and bring you back
Will they bring you back, will you come back home 'cos you know I'm waiting
Chorus:
The light of love is always on
You know my love's getting stronger and stronger
The light of love is always on, keepin' the night watch
Baby are you lonely, don't talk to strangers
I'm tryin' to tell myself you won't be gone for long
And when we get to the part, baby, where all of the tears start to come
Will you turn around, get on the plane that brings you back
Will you come back home, 'cos you know I'm waiting

Havent You Heard
Havent you heard
Daddys gone crazy
Havent you heard momma is gone
Here I stand with my finger on his door bell
My mind goes back to what I did last night
You see I finally talked his wife into leaving him
And I am just here to convince my conscious that its all alright
And I can see my old friend just sitting there staring and his little boys
Crying words are welded in my mind
Havent you heard daddys gone crazy
Havent you heard momma is gone
And either way I am a loser
And Ive been crying all night long mr. havent you heard

Havent you heard momma is gone

That Summer
I went to work for her that summer
A teenage kid so far from home
She was a lonely widow woman
Hell-bent to make it on her own
We were a thousand miles from nowhere
Wheat fields as far as I could see
Both needing something from each other
Not knowing yet what that might be.
til she came to me one evening
Hot cup of coffee and a smile
In a dress that I was certain
She hadnt worn in quite a while
There was a difference in her laughter
There was a softness in her eyes
And on the air there was a hunger
Even a boy could recognize.
She had a need to feel the thunder
To chase the lightning from the sky
To watch a storm with all its wonder
Written in her lovers eyes
She had to ride the heat of passion
Like a comet burning bright
Rushing headlong in the wind
Now where only dreams have been
Burning both ends of the night.
That summer wind was all around me
Nothing between us but the night
When I told her that Id never
She softly whispered thats alright
And then I watched her hands of leather
Turn to velvet in a touch
Theres never been a summer
When I have ever learned so much.
We had a need to feel the thunder
To chase the lightning from the sky
To watch a storm with all its wonder
Written in her lovers eyes
She had to ride the heat of passion
Like a comet burning bright
Rushing headlong in the wind
Now where only dreams have been
Burning both ends of the night.
I often think about that summer
The sweat, the moonlight and the lace
And I have rarely held another
When I havent seen her face
And every time I pass a wheat field
And watch it dancing with the wind
Although I know it isnt real
I swear inside I feel
Her hungry arms again.
She had a need to feel the thunder
To chase the lightning from the sky
To watch a storm with all its wonder
Written in her lovers eyes
She had to ride the heat of passion
Like a comet burning bright
Rushing headlong in the wind
Now where only dreams have been
Burning both ends of the night.
Rushing in long in the wind
Now where only dreams have been
Burnin both ends of the night

Possibly youll disagree
Busy bee watch the world go by
Everybodys alright with me
Thats just the way I choose to be
Everybodys on my mind
Cant sit aside and watch this world go by
That aint me
Chorus x2
Busy bee watch the world go by
Everybody does their time
The people walk in crooked lines
Everybodys got their choice
But often we dont use our voice
Chorus x4
Busy bee watch the world go by
How could you be so blind?
Some people they just aint satisfied
Watch the world go by
I always hear the school bell ring
Let the children dance and sing
Just let us find whats been lost
So many people get torn and tossed away

Alone In Love
[Chorus:]
Swept me away
But now I'm lost in the dark
Set me on fire
But now I'm left with a spark
Alone you got beyond the haze and
I'm lost inside the maze
I guess I'm all alone in love
I look into your eyes
You turn the other way
And now I realize
It's all a game you play
I hold you in the night
And wake to find you gone
You're running out of sight
It's so hard holding on
All alone in love
[Chorus]
You haunt me in my dreams
I'm calling out your name
I watch you fade away
Your love is not the same
I figured out your style
To quickly drift apart
You held me for a while
Planned it from the start
All alone in love
[Chorus]
Sitting in the dark without you
How am I supposed to make it through the night
Slowly fall apart without you
Cry away the hours 'till the morning light

Stranger In Town
I remember it was late one night
In the middle of a dream
Woke up in a pool of sweat
Thought I heard a scream
Ran over to the window sill
Stuck my head out for a peek
Dressed in black was a man I didnt recognise
Running down my back street
My heart skipped a beat
Chorus (2x):
You better watch out, theres a stranger in town
You better watch out when he comes around
Dont make a sound
The morning paper and the head-lines read:danger to the queen
Buckingham palace better tighten things up
The son of a bitch is mean.
Vendors on the corner just doin their job
Acting like nothings new
Scotland yards still looking for him
But he doesnt leave
A single clue
Chorus (2x)
You better watch out..
Whos this man who fell out of the sky?
Whats he done and wheres he live?
How can a man whos a criminal be a hero to the kids?
The old couple swear that the ripers back
They say its him all right.
The young girl says its jesus and he wont be back again
Tonight
I wonder whos right ?

You better watch out...

Danger
Had wild dreams
Walkin the streets
Hell, we were young
Never looked back
So we took our dreams
Ran like hell
Lived our youth
From the wishing well
Me and the boys
Made a pact
To live or die
No turning back
Scarred fr life
All my best friends died
I lost my mind
It made me hate
I cant escape, I cant escape
(pre-chorus)
Im a wildcat
A shotgun blast
Madman
Strong as steel
Overkill
No more deals

Danger
Youre in danger
When the boys are around
Danger
Youre in danger
And this is my town
This is hollywood
I was blind
One step from the edge
Spin round and round
Out of my head
Lost in my gin
From riches to sin
Loose again
Ive escaped
Ive escaped

Tatooed lies
Distant eyes
Hollywood
Its been ten long years
Tears and fears
