Love Over Gold
You walk out on the high wire
Youre dancer on thin ice
You pay no heed to the danger
And less to advice
Your footsteps are forbidden
But with knowledge of your sin
You throw your love to all the strangers
And caution to the wind
And you go dancing through doorways
Just to see what you will find
Leaving nothing to interfere
With the crazy balance of your mind
And when you finally reappear
At the place where you came in
Youre thrown your love to all the strangers
And caution to the wind
I takes love over gold
And mind over matter
To do what you to that you must
When the things that you hold
Can fall and be shattered
Or run through your fingers like dust

Lovers Walk
I wont walk with my head bowed
(be on) beyond caution where lovers walk
My love walks where threes a crowd
Beyond caution where lovers walk
Lovers walk, lovers scramble
Beyond caution where the lovers walk
Lovers step, shuffle and gamble
Beyond caution where lovers walk
Lovers trip, lovers stumble
Lovers dip, lovers fumble
Lovers lip where love has crumbled
Beyond caution where lovers walk
Lovers strut, lovers stroll, lovers leap
Lovers late, lovers wait
Making promises that they cant keep
Lovers link up arm and arm
Lovers slink up, lovers charm
Lovers drink up and come to harm
Beyond caution where lovers walk
Love is gone and its no ones fault
Love has stopped here, lovers halt
Lovers dont walk, lovers run
Will you look what love has done
Will you look what love has done
Will you look what love has done
Beyond caution where lovers walk
Now loves limping on a lovers crutch
Looking for a hand with a personal touch
Beyond caution where lovers walk

Walking On Thin Ice
(d. pickerill/p. odonoughue)
Verse 1:
Youre walking on thin ice
Youll have to pay the price
You just dont listen
You never take advice
But Ive got to warn you
Youd better heed my mind
While you walk on thin ice
Im right behind
Youre treading a tight-rope
You know youre going to fall
You just dont listen
Think you can have it all
But Ive got to tell you
Youd better heed my mind
While you walk that tight-rope
Im right behind
Youre walking on thin ice
Youll have to pay the price
Youre treading a tight-rope
You know youre going to fall
Youre running a fine line
Youve never got the time
Youre walking on thin ice (x3)
Youre running a fine line
Youre never got the time
To find out what youre missing
I tell you its a crime
So Ive got to warn you
Youd better heed my mind
While you run the fine line
Im right behind
Verse 1
Youre walking on thin ice (x4)
Walking on, youre walking on thin ice
Thin ice, youre walking on it
Thin ice.

Your coca cola sign rattling.

Homeless trees. gathering.
Outside your window bootleg babies call
To you and lie among the mosquitoes.
That summers fever coming.
Cats are gathering outside your window.
Homeless trees. bootleg babies calling
To you. lie among. lie among the mosquitoes.
Your rails. youre thin.
Your thin paper wings.
Get up in your sun. fly high.
Dangling. dangling.
Your window shattered in the wind.
The sun on your coca cola sign.
Your rails. your thin
Paper wings. paper wings.
Resonator ...
There is a sound on the other side of this wall.
A bird is singing on the other side of this glass.
Footsteps. concealed.
Silence is preserving a voice.
Walking in the wind at the waters edge
Comes close to covering my rubber feet.
Listening to the barbed wire hanging.
There is a sound on the other side of this wall.
A bird is singing on the other side of this glass.
Footsteps. concealed.
Silence is preserving a voice.
Silver chain. thrown away. broken wing.

Caution
When it comes to love
we see the warning signs,
caution and don’t go there,
but because of who we are,
we ignore them all the time.
We reverse the signs of caution and don’t go there.
Throwing caution to the wind,
we go without a care.
It is only when love dies
and our heart is beyond repair,
do we realise we should have listened
to the warning signs
caution and don’t go there.
Then it is too late
and there is no turning back.
Tears flood our eyes
and sadness fills our heart.
We should always read the signs
and not ignore them all the time.
If it reads caution,
we should tread carefully,
and if reads don’t go there,
we should take its advice
and go elsewhere.

If Youre Not Gonna Love Me Right
(m.seward)
Hey, oh
Hey yeah
Hey baby, hey baby
The phone is ringing
And Im running late
Ive no time to get it
coz Im expecting you at eight
Heard your voice on the message
Im surprised you called
Said youre all tied up
And you aint comin at all
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
Youre just gonna make me crazy
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
If youre not gonna love me right, oh
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
At all
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
At all
Another box of roses outside on my porch
Twelve long excuses none of them stop the hurt
Wheres this going, do you really care?
Is this real love, I dont know anymore I swear
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
Baby dont make me crazy
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
If youre not gonna love me right, yeah
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
Oh baby
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
I really want you, oh baby
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
If youre not gonna love me right
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
Baby just make me crazy
Baby, I want you here
If youre not here it makes me feel like
I cant trust you
You make me crazy if you really love me
You see
Oh, I get confused when you hold me next to you
I wanna go further, oh baby yes I do
I just cant hold on to something that wont last
So wed better slow down, and maybe not go so fast
Maybe not go so fast
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
Youre just gonna make me crazy
(if youre not gonna love me right)
If youre not gonna love me
Baby dont love me, baby dont love me, baby dont love me
If youre not gonna love me right
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby, dont love me at all
Youre just gonna make me crazy
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby, dont love me at all
Youre just gonna make me crazy
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
Baby dont love, baby dont love me
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
Baby dont love, baby dont love me
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
Baby dont love, baby dont love me
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
If youre not gonna do it right
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
If youre not gonna do it right
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
If youre not gonna do it right
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
Baby dont love, baby dont love me

If I Fall Youre Going Down With Me
Was it the pull of the moon now baby
That led you to my door
You say the nights got you acting crazy
I think its something more
Ive never felt the earth move honey
Until you shool my tree
Nobody runs from the law now baby
Of love and gravity it pulls you so strong
Baby you gotta hold on
If I fall youre going down with me
Youre going down with me baby if I fall
You cant take back every little chill you give me
Youre going down with me baby heart and all ooh yeah
Were hanging right on the edge now baby
The wind is getting stronger
Were hanging on by a thread now honey
We cant hold on much longer
Its a long way down but its too late
If I fall youre going down with me
Youre going down with me baby if I fall
You cant take back every little chill you give me
Youre going down with me baby heart and all ooh yeah
Ooh baby I couldnt get any higher
This time Im willing to dance on the wire
If I fall...if I fall
cause if I fall youre going down with me
Youre going down with me baby if I fall
You cant take back every little chill you gave me
Your going down wih me babt heart and all
If I fall...if I fall...ooo yeah

Strangers
Where are you going I dont mind
Ive killed my world and Ive killed my time
So where do I go what do I see
I see many people coming after me
So where are you going to I dont mind
If I live too long Im afraid Ill die
So I will follow you wherever you go
If your offered hand is still open to me
Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two we are one
So youve been where Ive just come
From the land that brings losers on
So we will share this road we walk
And mind our mouths and beware our talk
till peace we find tell you what Ill do
All the things I own I will share with you
If I feel tomorrow like I feel today
Well take what we want and give the rest away
Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two we are one
Holy man and holy priest
This love of life makes me weak at my knees
And when we get there make your play
cos soon I feel youre gonna carry us away
In a promised lie you made us believe
For many men there is so much grief
And my mind is proud but it aches with rage
And if I live too long Im afraid Ill die
Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two we are one
Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two we are one

When You Find Out Where Youre Goin Let Me Know
When you find out where youre goin
Let me know
Cause I love you just enough
To let you go
While youre running free and clear
Please dont disappear
When you find out where youre goin
Let me know
When you find out where youre goin
Count me in
And Ill never put you down
For where you been
And Ill join you when you find
That peace within your mind
When you find out where youre goin
Let me know
Im letting go for one night
And I know well be all right
Though he may never come back
When he leaves my bed tonight
When you find out where youre goin
Let me know
And I promise I wont say I told you so
And when the time comes that you say
You finally found your way
Then no matter where you are
Be sure I know
Then no matter where you are
Be sure I know

A Stones Throw Away
Did I feel this way back then?
Did you wake up to the sound of pouring rain?
Fading days of blue rush past your eyes
Would you lose yourself in someone elses vain?
Or should you shout your mind out when the loss began?
High until you washed away
Its all the same
I realized it through this song
I sing out loud and call your name
Do you feel Im only someone you could never ever know?
In it all youll find, you see youre not that far from me
So walk and hold your head up high
A stones throw away
I feel right now like I felt way back then
The center of my life I lost it all
Never ever knew how much Id loved until you left, youre gone
Fell right now like I was chasing you the same way
High until you washed away
Its all the same
I realized it through this song
Sing out loud and call your name
Do you feel the only someone you could never ever know?
In it all you find, you see youre not that far from me
To walk and hold your head up high
A stones throw away
I would like this stone to roll
High until I washed it all away
Its all the same
I realized it through this song
Sing out loud and call my name
Do you feel the only someone you could never ever know
In it all you find
You see youre not that far from me to walk and hold your head up high
A stones throw away
Youre just a stones throw away
Never knew how much Id loved until youre gone
Never knew how much Id love
Until youre gone away
Feel right now like I felt way back then
The center of my life I lost it, lost it all
Never knew how much Id loved until youre gone
Never knew how much Id loved until youre gone away
A stones throw away

Balance
I jostle my high wire ‘tween heaven and hell.
Smelling roses above; feeling cinders as well.
I’ll lose my balance and seek help from above.
As I totter and tremble, please guide me with love.
I’ll slip often before reaching the other side.
I hope you’ll be there to balance my slide.
My demise will only come if I fear a fall,
By losing faith in myself and your lasting call.
My high wire is fraught with myriad dangers.
Balance will always keep cinders as strangers.

Aint That A Bitch
Up in smoke youve lost another lover
As you take a hit off your last cigarette
Strung out, burnt out
Yeah youre down on your luck
And you dont give a ..
. til the best part of you starts to twitch
Aint that a bitch
Freak out! Im alone now
I feel just like Im losinmy mind
cause love is like the right dress
On the wrong girl
You never know what youre gonna find
You think youre high and fine as wine
Then you wind up like a dog in a ditch
cause love is like a wrong turn
On a cold night ... yeah
Aint that a bitch
In a daze
In the throes of emotion
You see God in the devils eyes
Then you fall so far from grace
You wouldnt know a kiss
If it was on your face
You can tell it to the jury
But you aint got no case
Freak out! Im alone now
I feel just like Im losinmy mind
cause love is like the right dress
On the wrong girl
You never know what youre gonna find
The gal was fine as calamine but not
Enough to scratch a seven year itch
cause love is like the last licks
Outta hendrix ... yeah
Aint that a bitch
Then you feel so out of place
Lickinup the arsenic
From the same old lace
You know the stuff is poison
But you gotta have a taste
Freak out! Im alone now
I feel just like Im losin my mind
cause love is like the right dress
On the wrong girl
You never know what youre gonna find
You think youre high and fine as wine
Then you wind up with your face in the ditch
cause love is like a warm gun
On a cold night ... yeah
Aint that a bitch

And Id sure love to love you, i

Keeps changing my heart
When were dancing
My body says love you tonight
To drive me out of my mind

To say take me home tonight
But when we get to dancing
When I see you dancing

And you just cant help it
I should give it some time
And wait for the right sign

And we fly together across the floor
My hearts crying out for more

Wild As The Wind
Johnny grew up
On the dark side of the law
Livin in the shadow
Of the light he never saw
Rosie came round
In the way that true love does
Just when youre lookin elsewhere
For the thing that never was
Wild as the wind
Wild as the wind is
Wild as the wind is love
Wild as the wind
Wild as the wind is
Wild as the wind is love
So they team up
And they traveled on thier way
Lookin for forever
For every yesterday
She brings him hope
In the way that angels do
Takin him to heaven
In ways he never knew
Wild as the wind
Wild as the wind is
Wild as the wind is love
Wild as the wind
Wild as the wind is
Wild as the wind is love
Wild as the wind
Every so often
He gets a stray look in his eye
She knows how to hold him
Without ever askin why
Wild as the wind
Wild as the wind is
Wild as the wind is love
Wild as the wind
Wild as the wind is
Wild as the wind is love
Wild as the wind
Wild as the wind is
Wild as the wind is love
Wild as the wind
Wild as the wind is
Wild as the wind is love

Dust In The Wind
Dust thrown to the wind
Where does this truly begin?
When will it come to an end
Deja vu
Split in two
Whose who
I'm through with all the bullshit I've heard from you
Totally cut off
Seclusion
Walking into an illusion
Never ever land
Who has a plan?
Dust thrown to the wind
Where does this truly begin
When will it come to an end
Deja vu
Split in two
Whose who
Am I the undertaker?
Am I the heart breaker?
The one you never see coming
Till I'm gone
Took off running
Back to the hills
No more thrills
Dust thrown to the wind
Where does this truly begin?
When will it come to an end
Deja vu
Split in two
Whose who
What is a friend?
What is a lover?
Such words bring so much misery
Hate to love
Love to hate
Can anyone see the irony
Attraction isn't the same as destiny
A choice that is like not in me
Its just more dust
I throw it to the wind
Hoping I never see it again
Its just more dust
I throw it to the wind
Hoping I never see it again

Perfect Strangers
Everytime we meet
My heart skips a beat
Seems were perfect strangers
I cant understand
Whats inside of man
That makes us perfect strangers
Through all this time so lonely
All the people with nobody
With lifes misunderstanding
Feel Ive known you all my life
Theres something quite familiar in your eyes
A soul is calling
Do you ever wonder why?
Everytime we meet
A sympathetic beat
In the heart of strangers
Here the love it calls
But you dont know me at all
Seems were perfect strangers
Just like perfect strangers
Ever looked up to the sky
On a night so melancholy
See the angry world around you
Really need someone to talk to
Doesnt mind you feel so crazy
Wheres the understanding stranger
Or the understanding lover
I know therell come a day
When peace will touch the heart of you
Until then I will say
Open up your eyes
Youre not hypnotised
Were not really strangers
You dont understand
That in the heart of love
Theres no perfect strangers
Everytime we meet
A sympathetic beat
In the heart of strangers
Repeats...

Untanglin My Mind
I guess youre glad to see Im finally leaving
I know things for you will change now for the good
But its all that I can do to pack my suitcase
And walk away from you the way I should
And I cant seem to find the voice of reason
Everything seems upside down and right side wrong
While a part of me is here and wont like leaving
The rest of me the best of me is gone
And Im sure no one will wonder where Ive gone to
But if anyone should ask from time to time
Tell them that you finally drove me crazy
And Im somewhere untanglin my mind
Well tell em I wont be riding Ill be walking
cause I dont think a crazy man should drive
Anyway the car belongs to you now
Along with any part of me thats still alive
But theres really not much left you could hold on to
And if you did it wouldnt last here anyway
It would head to where the rest of me rolled on to
So even if I wanted to I couldnt stay

And Im somewhere untanglin my mind

So you want to believe
Everything that you read
And you think that youre makin the grade
(and) just when youre getting it made
Youre still in love with her
Shed love you to kiss her
Hopin youll miss her
By takin your mind off the load
Just when youre ready to go
You turn your back on her
You just got your mind on the things ahead
At last youre gonna be free
Youll only miss her
Just after you kiss her

So you turn on the smiles
cause you think of the time
And nobody knows who you are
You dont think youll get very far
I dont even know your name
At last they accept you
In case you go next year
And ask you to reach for the sky
And just when youre ready to die
They turn their back on you
So they put you on ice
In survival hotel
And wish you would die from the cold
When all you want is a night alone
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away

Dancing, makes my body go

Walk The Dust
I find youre on my back again
Cause your husbands weighing you down
And you say you find it hard to cope
Feel like leaving and not going home
Sister I thought you were stronger than me
But I guess youve lost the way
And I see your confusion oh so clear
Yet you love him more each day
I want you to find a reason
To walk the dust
I want you to find a reason
To walk the dust
Nothing has changed
Youre still the same
Are you willing to walk the dust
I guess that its too soon to tell
But I wish that youd wake up
Cause somehow you still believe in him
And you give him all your love
Seven months already gone
Do you feel youve let yourself down
And all I can do is sit and watch
Watch him change your mind
I want you to find a reason
To walk the dust
I want you to find a reason
To walk the dust
Nothing has changed
Youre still the same
Are you willing to walk the dust
Take my hand theres still time
Take my hand theres still time
My head is filled with words to say
But I only find them slip away
I know its hard to let it go
Take my hand
Take my hand theres still time
Sister take my hand theres still time
I know its hard to let it go
I know its hard to let it go
Take my hand

Not One Of Us
Its only water
In a strangers tear
Looks are deceptive
But distinctions are clear
A foreign body
And a foreign mind
Never welcome
In the land of the blind
You may look like we do
Talk like we do
But you know how it is
Youre not one of us
Not one of us
No youre not one of us
Not one of us
Not one of us
No youre not one of us
Theres safety in numbers
When you learn to divide
How can we be in
If there is no outside
All shades of opinion
Feed an open mind
But your values are twisted
Let us help you unwind
You may look like we do
Talk like we do

Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
You better listen well
When I tell you
To be on the look out
You cant call for help
cause I know you inside out
Despite all your hideouts
Im no great pretender
Ill make you surrender
So come along quietly
Heres a thought to remember
I have not met a man yet
To escape from my drag-net
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Ill give you just the facts man
And you can draw all your own conclusions
Ill keep your mind surrounded
With chains of love so strong
You cant break through them
My arsenal is stocked
With all kinds of seductive weapons
Although your hearts locked up
My love will assist me
So that you cant resist me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
