You Couldve Had Everything
Ignorance and arrogance mean quite the same to me
Take a look around you and Im sure you will agree
The world is full of people filled with hatred filled with greed
Its such a rare example when youve found a human being
You couldve had everything but you
You wouldve been scared of what to do
You shouldve been so much more to us than just exonerated
Why shouldnt it break your heart in two?
I find little entertains me anymore
The problems of the world are often tedious and worn
Im reading all about it with a chuckle and a sneer
They say a new beginning and they say the end is near
Get in your self-assuredness and take it for a spin
Youll be standing by yourself when theyve all given in
Its take before its taken from you every single day
I wish it wasnt like this
I dont know another way

It Wasnt Me
It wasnt me who shamed you
Its not fair to say that
You wanted to work I gave you a chance at that
It wasnt me who hurt you
Thats more credit that Im worth
Dont threaten me with the things youll do to you
It wasnt me who shamed you
It wasnt me who brought you down
You did it to yourself without any help from me
It wasnt me who hurt you
I showed you possibilities
The problems you had were there before you met me
I didnt say this had to be
You cant blame these things on me
It wasnt me, it wasnt me, it wasnt me
I know shes dead, it wasnt me
It wasnt me who changed you
You did it to yourself
Im not an excuse for the hole you dropped in
Im not simple minded
But Im not father to you at all
Death exists but you do things to yourself
I never said give up control
I never said stick a needle in your arm and die
It wasnt me, it wasnt me, it wasnt me
I know hes dead but it wasnt me
It wasnt me who shamed you
Who covered you with mud
You did it to yourself without any help from me
You act as I couldve told you
Or stopped you like some god
But people never listen and you know that thats a fact
I never said slit your wrists and die
I never said throw your life away
It wasnt me, it wasnt me, it wasnt me
Youre killing yourself, you cant blame me

No Man In His Wrong Heart
(trey bruce/ronnie rogers)
On the inside flap of a matchbook cover
She made me the kind of offer
That no man in a weak state could outrun
I tried to think what a gentleman would say
Turnin that kind of opportunity away
I tried my best to tell her Im not the right one
Like no man in his wrong heart wouldve done
I said no maam
Like no man wouldve said if he wasnt in love
With you the way I am
It couldve been easy for me to be a gooner
But something a whole lot stronger made me run
Like no man in his wrong heart wouldve done.
Didnt want her to think that I wasnt flattered
Her interest in me, believe me it mattered
So I dropped several quarters in the old jukebox
I said I want you to dance all night on me
In a lucky mans arrms
Whoever he might be
Then I hit that door like I was shot from a gun
Like no man in his wrong heart wouldve done

Id Rather Be You
1986. released as b-side of single throwing it all away, 1987.
Ooh yeah
You know I never wanted to be closer
And Ill still be here until its over
No, no I never wanted to be closer
But youll be back, I couldve told you
Well I always knew
Yes I could see it coming
Your ambitious streak
You always want things beyond your reach
Well now youve got what you wanted
And youre free to be the things
You always said youd be
Youre up there looking down
Tell me what do you see - oh
Cos you know
You know I never wanted to be closer
And Ill still be here until its over
No, no I never wanted to be closer
Yeah, but youll be back, I couldve told you
Well it seems to me
That youve got to fight for yourself
In this world we live in
Its dog-eat-dog and never give in
Why worry when youre holding the aces
Dont throw it away cos you know
Id rather be you than me
Up there looking down
Tell me what do you see - oh
Hey hey yeah
Ooh yeah
You know I never wanted to be closer (never wanted)
And Ill still be here til its over
No, no I never wanted to be closer (never wanted)
Ooh but youll be back, I couldve told you
Its been a long time coming
But at last we seem to be moving on, straight ahead
Were finally getting something done
Time flies and fore you know it
Youll be getting closer to where
You always knew youd be
Up there looking down
Tell me what do you see - oh
Cos you know
No, no I never wanted to be closer (never wanted)
Ill still be here until its over
No, you know I never wanted to be closer (never wanted)
Yeah but youll be back, I couldve told you
Hey hey yeah...

Not Enough Romance
Shouldve never made eye contact
Shouldve been a heart of stone
When you stopped me to say hello
Wouldve been twice as easy
To just say no
Cause I dont wanna lose at love again
But as a couple we were quite handsome
And the moon was out that night
So we let our hearts go dancing
If that thing is missing in my life
Chorus
Theres not enough romance in this world
Theres not enough romance in this world
Theres too many people thinking only of themselves
You gotta give love for its return
Wanna sing about new lovers
Stand up against the odds
Nothing can change a thing that strong
And myself I know my emotions
I got my love to share
And when you need something so tender
What youre looking for is so rare
Chorus
Theres not enough romance in this world
Theres not enough romance in this world
You gotta believe in what your heart tells you is right
And Im here to say that I believe in love
We take a lot of chances playing some foolish games
But thats the only price that you gotta pay
We gotta keep believing hungry hearts run free
Everybody needs a good loving
Its anything you want it to be

Faceless World
Listen to me - this is a warning
You have to wake up out of this dream
Dont be a member of this lifestyle, please
I hear the beat of your heart
So better watch them - dont be frightened
Cant you feel it - cant you see it this time
So many things appear like wonders
Be shameless my friend - save what youve got
Welcome to this crazy world
You cannot blame everyone
See the stars and see the rainbows - see it all
Dont turn away - youre all youve got
In a faceless world
You can run - but you cant hide
Its yourself who waits for you inside
So believe me its not evil
To break out of this spell
Dont be wasting a whole lifetime
Dont betray yourself anymore
So hear me calling - this is a warning
When you feel it - dont lose it this time
One day you will be way stronger
Be clever old friend, cause then youll be free
Welcome to this crazy world
You cannot blame everyone
Dreams can come true
See the stars and see the rainbows - open your eyes
Dont turn away - youre all youve got
In a faceless world
You can run - but you cant hide
Its yourself who waits for you inside
So hear me calling
Dont wanna mistreat anymore
Just one desire
I want to break this spell
No more wondering
I wanna be clever this time
I hear your warning
I just wanna be myself
Saw the stars and all the rainbows - youve seen it all
You realized - youre all youve got
In the faceless world
You tried to run - but couldnt hide
It was you who found yourself inside
So hear me calling
Stop betraying yourself
Dont waste all your lifetime
Youve been mistreated so many times
In this faceless world
Youve got to break out of this spell
Listen to your heartbeat
Be restless my friend
Just one desire
I just wanna be myself

Couldve Been You
Well it must have been good
cos you said it was love
I guess the day you left me
It wasnt good enough
Now youre calling my number
Say you wanna come back
Oh baby, baby its too late for that
cos when you see me
Therell be somebody new by my side
Somebody who is sure he is mine
Chorus:
When you see the smile on his face
Just remember baby
Couldve been you, couldve been you
When hes standing there in your place
I hate to say it baby
Couldve been you, couldve been you
Guess I should have been cool
Maybe I was too kind
When loving me was easy
You were hard to find
And when I cried over you babe
How the teardrops burned
Oh baby, baby now the tables turned
So if those tears start falling
When you see us walking by
I hope you wont forget who said goodbye
Chorus
Shouldve been you
But you threw it all away
Oh couldve been you
Standing here today
Couldve been you baby
So if those tears start falling
When you see us walking by
I hope you wont forget who said goodbye
You said goodbye

I Don't Play Your Game
this world is filled with hate
can you relate?
you get placed under a label
would you agree?
life is unfair
how do you deal?
people say things
what would you do?
this world filled with hate
what can you do?
change the way you think
why should it bug you?
people are itches
would you agree?
people are just cowards
who pick on the weak?
people going to be who they are
should we lower ourselves to there level?
say what you may
think what you want
because you see me
i just don't play your game.

You Dont Say Us Anymore
Giving you an ultimatum
Try to figure out why you
Act the way you do ,avoiding me
And trying to keep your distance
Saw your image in a photograph
Couldnt cry so I had to laugh
And the jealousy that I felt inside
Gave way to pure frustration
And you dont fool me with your sexy innuendos
And all the secrets you hide
You find adventure when your sleeping
In a brave new world
But you dont see me anymore (no you dont)
I stand alone (no you dont)
Your head is full of illusions
Your heart is stone
But you dont say us anymore (no you dont)
And the light is gone (no you dont)
No you dont say us anymore , anymore
(you dont say us , you dont say us)
Like the devil in the deep blue sea
Gotta have you and must be free
And all you do is torture me
And question what I stand for
Im a victim of circumstance
Just like in modern romance
And in my situation we go
Straight to a hotel room
And we take our chances
And when I met you ,
You were standin in the moonlight
And your defences were down
I took advantage of a golden opportunity
But you dont see me anymore (no you dont)
I stand alone (no you dont)
Your head is full of illusions
Your heart is stone
(you dont say us , you dont say us )
Soon , when the night is young
Ill be old and gone
All because Im down
(you dont say us , you dont say us )
(break)
And you dont fool me with your sexy innuendos
And all the secrets you hide
You find adventure when your
Sleeping in a brave new world
But you dont see me anymore (no you dont)
I stand alone (no you dont )
Your head is full of illusions
Your heart is stone
(you dont say us , you dont say us )
Come , hold me like before
Do the things you need to do
What I asked before
(you dont say us , you dont say us )
But you dont see me anymore (no you dont )
I stand alone (no you dont )
Your head is full of illusions
Your heart is stone
(you dont say us , you dont say us )
Come , hold me like before
Do the things you used to do
What I asked before

You Won
There was a world outside my door
I wasnt in touch with anymore
There was a way I used to feel
I knew what was and wasnt real
You built a bridge, I tore it down
I felt safe on shaky ground
And I was a master of despair
Making believe I didnt care
I shouldnt be standing here today
After all the crazy things Ive done
Im ready to fall and thats ok
I ran as far as I could run
You won
Out of a world turned upside down
It took some time to come around
Out of a dream you made me whole
Yes you did
You lit a fire down in my soul
I shouldnt be standing here today
After all the crazy things Ive done
Im ready to fall and thats ok
I ran as far as I could run
You won
I shouldnt be standing here today
After all the crazy things Ive done
Im ready to fall and thats ok
I ran as far as I could run
You won
And you won
Im ready to fall
I thought I knew what I was doing
I thought I was in control
I thought nobody could slow me down
But what did I know
I was just a kid, a motherless child
No one to watch over me I was runnin wild
Free of all responsibility til my life
And my love for myself caught up with me
Yeah, it caught up with me
And now Im (ready to fall), yes I am
So ready

The World Of Broken Hearts
Every night youll find me in the only world I own.
Its a crowded place thats filled with people all alone.
Its a place that I could write a book about.
When they let you in, youll find theres no way out.
There you dont get in, cause theres no way out
Theres just no way out.
No way out when your in a world of broken hearts,
In a world of broken hearts,
Of broken hearts,
Of broken hearts.
Those who enter here are told to leave their dreams behind.
You may never get to sleep again, but you dont mind.
Its a place that I could write a book about.
When they let you in, youll find theres no way out.
There you dont get in, cause theres no way out
Theres just no way out.
No way out when your in a world of broken hearts,
In a world of broken hearts,
Of broken hearts,
Of broken hearts.
In a world of broken hearts,
In a world of broken hearts,
In a world of broken hearts,
Of broken hearts,
Of broken hearts.

Sorry
We used to be so very happy and we used to have so much fun
And we used to spend our time together, we were as close as anyone
I used to feel your every feeling, I was a part of your every dream
Im not saying that youve thrown me aside, but oh thats just the way that it seems
So if Ive done anything that I shouldnt have done,
Wanna say Im sorry, darling, Im so sorry
And if I said anything that I shouldnt have said, Im sorry, sorry, yeah
Now were just getting used to a brand new situation
And I found out that temptation just wont let ya do good
So we must sit down and talk and be for real to each other
Cause I dont want my love for you to be misunderstood
If Ive done anything that I shouldnt have done,/p>
Im sorry, oh baby, Im so sorry, if I said anything that I shouldnt have said
(Im sorry) Im sorry, Im sorry, oh lordy Im so sorry
(sorry) sorry, sorry, hey----(sorry), if Ive (if Ive done anything) done anything
I (that I shouldnt have done) shouldnt have done
(Im sorry) Im sorry, baby, Im sorry, (if I said anything) if i, if I said anything i

Who Killed Davey Moore?
Who killed davey moore,
Why an whats the reason for?
Not i, says the referee,
Dont point your finger at me.
I couldve stopped it in the eighth
An maybe kept him from his fate,
But the crowd wouldve booed, Im sure,
At not gettin their moneys worth.
Its too bad he had to go,
But there was a pressure on me too, you know.
It wasnt me that made him fall.
No, you cant blame me at all.
Who killed davey moore,
Why an whats the reason for?
Not us, says the angry crowd,
Whose screams filled the arena loud.
Its too bad he died that night
But we just like to see a fight.
We didnt mean for him t meet his death,
We just meant to see some sweat,
There aint nothing wrong in that.
It wasnt us that made him fall.
No, you cant blame us at all.
Who killed davey moore,
Why an whats the reason for?
Not me, says his manager,
Puffing on a big cigar.
Its hard to say, its hard to tell,
I always thought that he was well.
Its too bad for his wife an kids hes dead,
But if he was sick, he shouldve said.
It wasnt me that made him fall.
No, you cant blame me at all.
Who killed davey moore,
Why an whats the reason for?
Not me, says the gambling man,
With his ticket stub still in his hand.
It wasnt me that knocked him down,
My hands never touched him none.
I didnt commit no ugly sin,
Anyway, I put money on him to win.
It wasnt me that made him fall.
No, you cant blame me at all.
Who killed davey moore,
Why an whats the reason for?
Not me, says the boxing writer,
Pounding print on his old typewriter,
Sayin, boxing aint to blame,
Theres just as much danger in a football game.
Sayin, fist fighting is here to stay,
Its just the old american way.
It wasnt me that made him fall.
No, you cant blame me at all.
Who killed davey moore,
Why an whats the reason for?
Not me, says the man whose fists
Laid him low in a cloud of mist,
Who came here from cubas door
Where boxing aint allowed no more.
I hit him, yes, its true,
But thats what I am paid to do.
Dont say murder, dont say kill.
It was destiny, it was gods will.
Who killed davey moore,
Why an whats the reason for?

Shouldve Kept Your Distance
Somethings gone wrong
now i know whats going on
theres a place i need to be
theres some1 i need to see
theres suspicion in the air
theres some things that should be cleared
if im there....there will be hell
and i may end up in jail
but its for a serious cause
dont give a futz about the law
If they dont keep their distance
ill make sure theyre gone
before they use their senses
shouldve listened to my warning
shouldve never came back
couldve walked away....
but they didnt.....they chose to stay......
i wont need reinforcements
im not there....i guess i do
there wont be conversations
when i get there theyll be through
they couldve thought this out
but instead they just refused
and when theyre taken out
ill just be here.....amused
If they dont keep their distance
ill make sure theyre gone
before they use their senses
shouldve listened to my warning
shouldve never came back
couldve walked away....
but they didnt.....they chose to stay

Man Against The World
Have you ever walked alone at night
Like a man against the world
No one takes your side
A boat against the tide
When your faith is shaken you start to break
And you heart cant find the words
Tossed upon the sand
I give you a man against the world
All the people cheer til the end is near
And the hero takes a fall
Then theyll drag you through the mud
Youre only flesh and blood
I have walked the path from dark to light
And theyve yet to come to terms
Alone I take my stand
Im only a man against the world
And love, like a distant reminder
It tugs at my shoulder
It calls me home
I shout, can a single voice carry
Will I find sanctuary within your arms
Someday when the answers clearer
Someday when I even the score
Youll reach and youll find me near you
Right beside you
Forevermore
But for now Ill walk the night alone
Like a man against the world
A brand new day will shine
Through the avalanche of time
Now the roads grown long, but the spirits strong
And the fire within still burns
Alone I take my stand
I give you a man against the world

A World Yet Saved
When | you look at me...
...here's what I see:
a world without hate,
a world without fear,
a world without hunger and sickness and sin.
a world full of love,
a world full of cheer,
a world full of plenty and healing and joy.
When | God looks at us...
...here's what He sees:
a world stained with bad,
a world stained with wrong,
a world stained with blood debt of many a man.
a world filled with filth,
a world filled with soot,
yet a world saved by naught but the blood of Jesus.
Safe & Sound
Maybe this is forever
Forever fades away
Maybe this is a rocket into space
I dont want to be sad
I dont want to break down
After all I wont let go
Till youre safe and sound
Till youre safe and sound
Theres beauty in release
After all the scenes for you and me
I dont blame you for quitting
I know you really tried
Maybe we could have hold on through the night
Cuz I dont want to be lonely
I want to be scared
And all are friends are waiting there
Till youre safe and sound
Till youre safe and sound
Theres beauty in release
Theres no one left to please but you and me
Till youre safe and sound...
Feel like I couldve held on
Feel like I couldve let go
Feel like I couldve helped you
Feel like I couldve changed you
Feel like I couldve held on
Feel like I couldve let you
Feel like I was a stranger
Feel like I was an angel
Feel like I was a hero
Feel like I was a zero
Feel like I couldve touched you
Feel like I couldve saved you
Feel like I couldve moved you
Feel like I couldve held you
Feel like I couldve heald you
Feel like I couldve told you
Feel like I couldve loved you
Feel like I couldve loved you
Feel like I couldve loved you
Feel like I couldve loved you...

The Human Touch
Some say the world is spinning faster
Some say it isnt fast enough
Some people say theyve got the answer
And some are scared to say they cant keep up
I read the paper but it still isnt clear
The bombs are falling but Im still here
I know all the figures and I know all the facts
But all I can do is keep trying . . . .
To look for the human touch
Life is hard when youve got nothing
Life can be hard when youve got too much
Sometimes I wonder whats the difference
Its only better with someone to touch
I got the telephone stuck to my ear
I keep yelling but you dont hear
In all the universe Im just a speck of dust
But all I can do is keep trying . . . .
To give you the human touch
You know were nothing in the scheme of things
Just microchips in big machines
And the world is spinning round and round
But I know that we can slow it down
And I know that I can make you see
Im on the side of you and me
And all I want to do
Listen to me . . .
Is give you . . . give you
Give you the human touch

Shouldve Been The One
..2, 3, 4!
Verse 1:
Well if I looked all over this world
I dont think I would find someone so true
Someone like you
Oh and I know it may be too late
But ya know I cannot wait,
What should I do?
I still love you. oh...
Repeat:
When the stakes all are high
And the odds are all against us
Why do I still keep loving you?
Chorus:
You know you shouldve been the one
Our love couldve been something new
And now I dont know what to do
Oh, Ill never give up on your love
cause you always will be the one
Who brightens everyday
Even though you took my heart away
Ya know it makes no difference to me
cause you always will be the one
Verse 2:
Well, call me crazy or what you will
It doesnt change the way Ill always feel
cause this is real
Its nothing you ever said
Its all those crazy dreams that are in your head
(that are in your head) in your head
Alright now...
Here we go...
Repeat
Chorus
You know, our love couldve been something new
And now I dont know what to do
Because you always will be the one
Who brightens everyday
Even though you took my heart away
Ya know it makes no difference to me
You know our love couldve been something new
And now I dont know what to do
Oh, Ill never give up on your love
cause you always will be the one
Who brightens everyday
Even though you took my heart away
Ya know it makes no difference to me
cause you always will be the one!
