The Ties That Bind
You been hurt and youre all cried out you say
You walk down the street pushin people outta your way
You packed your bags and all alone you wanna ride,
You dont want nothin, dont need no one by your side
Youre walkin tough baby, but youre walkin blind
(chorus)
The ties that bind
Now you cant break the ties that bind
Cheap romance, its all just a crutch
You dont want nothin that anybody can touch
Youre so afraid of being somebodys fool
Not walkin tough baby, not walkin cool
You walk cool, but darlin, can you walk the line
And face the ties that bind
The ties that bind
Now you cant break the ties that bind
I would rather feel the hurt inside, yes I would darlin,
Than know the emptiness your heart must hide,
Yes I would darlin, yes I would darlin,
Yes I would baby
You sit and wonder just whos gonna stop the rain
Wholl ease the sadness, whos gonna quiet the pain
Its a long dark highway and a thin white line
Connecting baby, your heart to mine
Were runnin now but darlin we will stand in time
To face the ties that bind
The ties that bind
Now you cant break the ties that bind
You cant forsake the ties that bind

Ties
Ties that bind us.
Survive any storm.
Keep us warm
Through winter years.
And icicle tears
Will melt.
When we remember
How we have felt.
Ties that bind us
Ride on any tune.
Lighting stars to the moon.
In that fiery carriage
Of dreams.
Evil schemes
All blown away
When the wind
Whistles our melody sweet.
Shooting stars
Above a lonely street.
The ties that bind us.
Tapestry of the heart.
Woven
Before our souls could part.
Hands that touch
In silent muse.
And rhymes that echo
To defuse
The pain
Of twilight goodbyes.
You see,
You and I
Forever
Will have ties.
That bind us,
Remind us
Of love so new.
Under moonstone skies
Where white dove flew.

Walk That Line
(david wills/rick west)
Never believed in the straight and narrow
Always took the rocky road
Spread my wings like a wayward sparrow
Where the wind blew I would go
Thought no one could ever tame me
And no chains could tie me down
But your love put my feet back on the ground
I wanna walk that line
True lovers do
Your hand in mine
Now I belong to you
I wanna join our hearts
With the ties that bind
And make a brand new start
I wanna walk that line
All my wild and crazy ramblings
And the things that I lived for
Were so easily abandoned
I dont need them anymore
With a tender touch you tamed me
And Ill never be the same
cause your love led my heart back home again
I wanna walk that line
True lovers do
Your hand in mine
Now I belong to you
I wanna join our hearts
With the ties that bind
And make a brand new start
I wanna walk that line
I wanna walk that line
True lovers do
Your hand in mine
Now I belong to you
I wanna join our hearts
With the ties that bind
And make a brand new start
I wanna walk that line

I Walk The Line
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the ties that bind
Because youre mine I walk the line
I find it very very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each days through
Yes I admit it, I am a fool for you
Because youre mine I walk the line
As sure as night is dark and days light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness Ive known proves that its right
Because youre mine, I walk the line
Youve got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I cant hide
For you I know Id even try to turn the tide
Because youre mine, I walk that line
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because youre mine, I walk the line
Because youre mine, I walk the line
Because youre mine, I walk the line
Im gonna walk it
Im gonna walk the line
Im gonna walk it, walk it, walk it
Im gonna walk that line
Im gonna walk it because youre mine
Im gonna walk it, walk it
Im gonna walk the line
Im gonna walk it, walk it
Im gonna walk the line
Im gonna walk it
Im gonna walk the line

Border Lord
Darkness had us covered when we split from minnesota in the morning
In the rain
Black as I was feeling and the street was slick and shiny as a snake
Each of us was a-humming to a half forgotten echo
Hangin over in the brain
Tappin time and thinking of the time we never had the time to take
Losing to the rising cost of living high and loving hard
And leavin every yesterday behind
Learning every bridge you cross, is burning down before youre off and
Running
Like the devil just in time
Chorus:
Breakin any ties before they bind you
Taking any comfort you can find
Running like youre running out of time
Take it all-take it easy-till its over-understanding
When youre headin for the border lord
Youre bound to cross the line
Good lookin women every time you stumble
Waitin there to catch you when you fall
Gettin to you bad enough to let em
Keep you backin up till just before your backs against the wall
Chorus:
Breakin any ties before they bind you
Takin any comfort you can find
Runnin like youre runnin out of time
Take it all-take it easy-till its over-understanding
When youre headin for the border lord
Youre bound to cross the line

Mr. Jones
My name is Mister Jones,
I get inside your bones,
I know how to make you tweek,
You soon will be my freak.
Because I know what you need,
I control your mind,
I roll up your sleeves,
I make ties that bind,
I've got you!
You'll soon be begging on your knees,
You've got the disease,
All your money belongs to me,
You've got the disease.
I can't seem to live without you,
Without you whats the point,
I wasn't born with a silver burnt spoon,
Do I still have any choice? (NO!)
Because I know what you need,
I control your mind,
I roll up your sleeves,
I make ties that bind.

My Heart Stops
(diane warren)
(recorded by eric carmen)
Arista as1-2264 / 1992
I tell myself
This cant be love
That Im feelin
But if I think that my world
Will be the way that it was
Im dreamin
Why do I feel so high
At the mention of your name
Why do I act so shy
Cant explain, cant explain, cant explain
But darlin
Wo-wo-wo when you go walkin by
My heart stops
My heart stops
I cant explain it
Wo-wo-wo when you look in my eye
My heart stops
My heart stops
Every time youre near
Just thinkin about you
Darlin it just does
Something to me
And when we meet on the street
I feel the flame of love
Burnin through me
I try to play it cool
And never show a sign
But I give myself away
Every time, every time, every time
cause darlin
Wo-wo-wo when you go walkin by
My heart stops
My heart stops
I cant explain it
Wo-wo-wo when you look in my eye
My heart stops
My heart stops
Every time youre near
My heart stops, my heart stops
My heart stops, my heart stops
Oh, whenever youre close to me
Theres a wave of love rushin over me
And I never felt this way
Cant explain, cant explain, cant explain
But darlin
My darlin
Wo-wo-wo when you go walkin by
My heart stops
My heart stops
I cant explain it
Wo-wo-wo when you look in my eye
My heart stops
My heart stops
Every time youre near

Separation
Wish I had the strength inside to make you go away
Wish I was immune
Ever since I met you drinking at the circle bar
I go where you will to keep from being ripped in two
I still smile when I think of 1986
You and me in that little room drunk on sex
And wed fall asleep at every band wed go to see
Easier to pass out then to deal with you and me alone
Sitting in the dark hearing john doe sing
About poor little girls and silver wings
Yeah baby somethings gotta give
Wish I knew why youre so intent on breaking me
Act like a bitch possessed, yeah a bitch possessed
Ive had it up to here with your crazy ever-changing moods
I just take your worst, while you just take my best
Ive had enough, Ive had enough
Yeah I need a break
Youre always out screwing around while Im hammerin on the neighbors door
Hoping theyll turn the led zepplin down
Yeah baby somethings gotta give
Something somewheres gotta give
Yeah baby somethings gotta give
Yeah I think I need a break
Wanna break you from the inside out
That smug complacent smile is reason enough
I wanna cut the ties that bind my life
I wanna break you in your prime
Wish I had in me the power to make you disappear
Wish I had control
I just wanna walk away and never have to hear
About you, all the things you say that I dont really wanna know
Yeah, what you say, what you do, where you go
Everything I loved about you was just for show
Oh baby somethings gotta give
Something somewheres gotta give
Yeah baby somethings gotta give
Yes I think we need a break
I need to separate
I need to separate from you, I need to separate...

Heart Of Mine
Heart of mine be still,
You can play with fire but youll get the bill.
Dont let her know
Dont let her know that you love her.
Dont be a fool, dont be blind
Heart of mine.
Heart of mine go back home,
You got no reason to wander, you got no reason to roam.
Dont let her see
Dont let her see that you need her.
Dont put yourself over the line
Heart of mine.
Heart of mine go back where you been,
Itll only be trouble for you if you let her in.
Dont let her hear
Dont let her hear you want her.
Dont let her know shes so fine
Heart of mine.
Heart of mine you know that shell never be true,
Shell only give to others the love that shes gotten from you.
Dont let her know
Dont let her know where youre going.
Dont untie the ties that bind
Heart of mine.
Heart of mine so malicious and so full of guile,
Give you an inch and youll take a mile.
Dont let yourself fall dont let yourself stumble.
If you cant do the time, dont do the crime
Heart of mine.

Silver Eagle Express
(kinky friedman, roger friedman)
And Id ride the silver eagle to the last town on the line,
Railroad ties are not my friend the only ties that bind.
Just watch the troubled countryside gently fall away,
Silver eagle, hold me, guide me, roll me homeward from today.
Lose the track of time and let it flow back,
Stoke the ancient furnace into flames.
Running barefoot in the cinders of the moat pack
Hoppin bedtime rides with the outlaw jesse james.
But now my hearts a worn and weary vessel.
I been haulin dreams that never seem to last.
Once I slept beside a trembling trestle,
Woke up lost across the rusty lifelines to the past.
And Id ride the silver eagle to the last town on the line,
Railroad ties are not my friend the only ties that bind.
Just watch the troubled countryside gently fall away,
Silver eagle, hold me, guide me, roll me homeward from today.
Freedoms only station to station,
A paper suitcase on the track of time.
Aint hard to tell a hard luck situation,
Aint hard to tell a homeless country poet out of rhyme.
Im gonna ride the silver eagle to the last town on the line,
Theres nothing to remember if theres nothing to remind.
From the gentle texas sunshine to the colorado snow
Aint no one here to hold you, boy, when the good lord lets you go.

Loves A No
Written by ricky, kim & marty wilde
Alright - now were alone
I know youre expecting me
To tell you all that Ive been through
Oh sorry, it takes so long
And anyway, its hurting me
So dont ask, it might hurt you too
Maybe Im the fool
To turn down the love youre offering
Thanks - but loves a no (my baby)
Theres too much at stake
Its too soon I know (my baby)
And just too much to take
Sometimes - I get scared
Loving on my own again
Some days I just want to cry
Memories wont set me free
Those memories of how it used to be
Thanks - but loves a no (my baby)
Theres too much at stake
Its too soon I know (my baby)
And just too much to take
No - it wasnt always like this
I used to be the one who was smart
I was a hard girl
I couldnt get caught - I was strong
Oh - but then I got hurt
How I got hurt
Oh darlin - take a little time with me
Darlin - take a little time
Just a little time
One day - I dont know when
Maybe we can try again
Maybe all I need is time
Hold me then say goodbye
Dont hate me - for all the things Ive said
Thanks - but loves a no (my baby)
Theres too much at stake
Its too soon I know (my baby)
And just too much to take
Oh darlin take a little time with me
Oh darlin take a little time
Just a little time

Breakin Up A Happy Home

If we fuss and we fight
Why do we have to do it every saturday night?
We can act for our friends
But why cant we face each other when the masquerade ends?
Well now, I dont know whats happening
I cant tell just whos to blame
But two forgiving people
Could be so in love again
Stop! were breakin up a happy home
Oh darlin
Stop! cause I never was much good alone
Sweet baby
Oh, dont turn your back and walk away
Dont do it, no
Stop! were breakin up a happy home, yeah
Its a game no-one wins
Trying to hurt each other with those needles and pins
I cant go back, cant go on
But somehow I know the feeling isnt totally gone
Oh, theres so much love between us
That were so afraid to show
Its been keeping us together
But for how long, I dont know
Stop! yeah, were breakin up a happy home
Oh darlin
Stop! I never was much good alone
Listen baby
Ooh, dont, no, turn your back and walk away
Dont do it, oh stop
Stop! were breakin up a happy home, yeah
Ooh
Stop! stop! dont break it up
Stop! stop! dont break it up

Twist Of The Knife
Lipstick traces on an unmade bed
We drank all night and got devils in our head
She said some things that should have stayed unsaid
Emotions overflowing
Now I dont know what to believe
Sitting here in the cold light of the day
She felt anger, I felt pain
I walked out into the pouring rain
Packed my bags and took the midnight train
Didnt care where it was going
On my way, running like a thief
Hard to leave, but harder to stay
Theres no wrong, theres no right
But sometimes she breaks all the rules
And lying here alone tonight
Cant believe love can be so cruel
Wish Id believed her
cos now I need her
Sometimes the truth just hurts too much
She goes straight to the heart
With a truth that always finds me
She goes straight to the heart
And pulls tight the ties that bind me
She can be so cold, and it tears me apart
When she twists the knife
It goes straight to the heart
Sometimes love is an endless fight
Its never simple, never black and white
Just like ships passing in the night
Who knows where theyre going
No forgiveness, no reprieve
Both sailing their separate ways
Light of day, dead of night
Im searching for what I cant find
Try and try as I might
I cant get her out of my mind
Wish Id believed her
cos now I need her
I guess we all must love and learn
She goes straight to heart
With a truth that always finds me
She goes straight to the heart
And pulls tight the ties that bind me
She can be cold, and it tears me apart
When she twists the knife
It goes straight to the heart

Walk Away
By marcy levy and richard feldman
You leave a trail of tears wherever you go.
One of us will hold you, the other one wont.
But I could never share your love or leave it behind.
Break his heart, not mine.
Do you remember tender moments we shared?
How could this true affection vanish into thin air?
Hes not worth the trouble, baby; hes just a waste of your time.
Oh, break his heart, not mine.
Dont you walk away,
You know youre gonna miss me.
Dont you walk away, walk away.
Youre gonna miss me,
Youre gonna miss my love.
So dont you walk away,
Dont you walk away, walk away.
Dont you walk away, walk away.
So Ill be waiting in the backroom, baby, when you kiss him goodbye.
Oh, break his heart not mine, but...
Chorus
Dont you walk away, walk away.
Oh dont you walk away.
I know youre gonna miss my love.
Dont you walk away, walk away.
Dont you walk away.
Youre gonna miss my love.
Dont you walk away, walk away.

Hey Darlin Darlin
Hey darlin darlin gonna say it true
No one understands me like you do
I got the story when I was a child
I took me over and turned me wild
Only to make it true
But when Im alone all alone
No one home, the tv and the phone
Still say it will rain today
O.k.
Hey darlin, darlin help me understand
What went wrong with the peaceful plan
Was it bold?
I aint wishing for what used to be
I only hope that you and me can keep hold, unsold
When you go t no history, youre free
You sing and you believe so strong
You hold out fast and long, so long
Now the latest is the greatest is their plan
But they didnt make us and they cant break us

Little By Little
Black leather gloves and your lipstick shines
Bright as moonlight glows
My wildest rose cuts so fine and deep
It hurts but never shows
Youre bad, youre so hardcore
Pull me down here on the killing floor
Chorus
Little by little we cross the line
Little by little the ties that bind
Little by little by little by little
Little by little tonight
Your sugar tongue speaks hot and sweet
Lying just for fun
Push and shove
Sex is sex
But honey, love is love
Were not sick insane
Just another lovers game

Im all undone

Dont slap my face
Unless you kiss me

You beg and you cry for more
You pull me down here on the killing floor
