Shangri-la
Written by kim wilde
Hidden away - its the end of a day
And youre not really thinking at all
Theres that same stupid paper on the wall
And a stain where the damps crawling
Chorus:
Hes still looking for his shangri-la
But he wouldnt know it . . .
If it hit him in the face
If it hit him in the face
Day turns to daze
And indifference plays
While a sun goes on beating in the sky
And a small child falls over as she crys
Somewhere someone is calling her
Chorus
Shes still looking for her shangri-la
But she wouldnt know it . . .
If it hit her in the face
If it hit her in the face
Spoken : I take a look behind me
And the sun shines brighter there
And the people are much more beautiful
In a place without a care
And Im wondering if therell ever be room for me
In shangri-la
Wondering now - do you love me - and now
As I burn with a dangerous desire
Is our time up and on to the next fire
Got my fingers burnt and cut into the wire
Do you think we will ever learn
Chorus
As we keep looking our shangri-la...
Our shangri-la
But we wouldnt know it . . .
If it hit us in the face
If it hit us in the face

Shangri-la
Now that youve found your paradise
This is your kingdom to command
You can go outside and polish your car
Or sit by the fire in your shangri-la
Here is your reward for working so hard
Gone are the lavatories in the back yard
Gone are the days when you dreamed of that car
You just want to sit in your shangri-la
Put on your slippers and sit by the fire
Youve reached your top and you just cant get any higher
Youre in your place and you know where you are
In your shangri-la
Sit back in your old rocking chair
You need not worry, you need not care
You cant go anywhere
Shangri-la, shangri-la, shangri-la
The little man who gets the train
Got a mortgage hanging over his head
But hes too scared to complain
cos hes conditioned that way
Time goes by and he pays off his debts
Got a tv set and a radio
For seven shillings a week
Shangri-la, shangri-la, shangri-la, shangri-la, shangri-la, shangri-la
And all the houses in the street have got a name
cos all the houses in the street they look the same
Same chimney pots, same little cars, same window panes
The neighbors call to tell you things that you should know
They say their lines, they drink their tea, and then they go
They tell your business in another shangri-la
The gas bills and the water rates, and payments on the car
Too scared to think about how insecure you are
Life aint so happy in your little shangri-la
Shangri-la, shangri-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Put on your slippers and sit by the fire
Youve reached your top and you just cant get any higher
Youre in your place and you know where you are
In your shangri-la
Sit back in your old rocking chair
You need not worry, you need not care
You cant go anywhere
Shangri-la, shangri-la, shangri-la, shangri-la, shangri-la, shangri-la

Live
Clear out your mind
Look to your past and see what you can find
Stole soul afraid
Of the prophets perfect picture falls away
Is this the life that we choose to live
Or is this the life that has been giving
Now is the time to see what my life should be
What is mine!?
We live in Shangri La now!
We live in!
We live in!
We live in Shangri La now
We live in!
We live in!
It's a timeless rage
For many people praying to be saved
Truth is so strong
It needs lights to guide it so it can carry on
I've seen blood on my hands
Am I dead or is this where it begins
I feel the shame
For my friend who put a bullet in his brain!
We live in Shangri La now!
We live in!
We live in!
We live in Shangri La now
We live in!
We live in!
I've got
You've got
We've got
Something to die for
I've got
You've got
We've got
Something to die for
I've got
You've got
We've got
Something to die for
I've got
You've got
We've got
Something to die for
We live in Shangri La now!
We live in!

We live in Shangri La now
We live in!
We live in!
We live in Shangri La now!
We live in!
We live in!
We live in Shangri La now
We live in!
We live in!
We live in Shangri La now!

Shangri-la
Every days a new day
Thats what Ive been told
Try to hold your head high
The world runs hot and cold
Its hard to follow footprints
In the shifting sand
Another thirsty rider
Behind the caravan
You had no idea
Just what was waiting out there
You never thought youd carry the weight
Of the world
On your pretty blond hair
This aint no shangri-la
To you, no shangri-la
This aint no shangri-la
Nobody knows no shangri-la
Hey! theres a whole lotta people
Wonderin who you are
They think you walk without a care in the world
But theyve been wrong so far
This aint no shangri-la
To you, no shangri-la
This aint no shangri-la
Nobody knows no shangri-la

Idler's Dream
My heart it skips a beat when I behold
The light that's shining through your eyes of gold
From heavenly blood you seem to spring
From heavenly waters you can drink
I'll meet you on a day that never ends
I'll greet you in the way that heaven meant
You lay me down gently on the leaves
You cover me over in my sleep
I never did sing I wish I could
I never could pray cos it's just no good
I hope you don't break my heart of stone
I don't wanna scream out loud and wake up on my own mmhmm
And as I close my eyes
And the sky turns red
I realise just what you are
You're an idler's dream and you're singing shangri-la

Shangri-la
Sitting here, waiting for,
Someone calling at my door,
Too bad,
Im getting out of love.
Whats the use of changing things,
Wonder what tomorrow brings,
Who knows,
Im getting out of love.
Chorus
My shangri-la has gone away,
Faded like the beatles on hey jude
She seemed to drift out on the rain
That came in somewhere softly from the blue
Clouds roll by and hide the sun,
Raindrops fall on everyone,
So sad,
Im getting out of love.

Shangri-La Hotel
A visit to Shangri-La Hotel,
To my lover's room;
A visit to Shangri-La Hotel,
Like the eyes of an elephant;
I want to be in everybody's shoes but,
My mind is bigger than my shoes.
Like a message to the blue bears,
Like amessage to the white bears,
Like a message to the black bears,
LIke a message to the brown bears,
Keep it clean and soft;
a simple life to the muse of love.
A visit to my lover's room,
I am always moving and i don't look back;
Forward ever!
A visit to my lover's room,
I am always moving without looking back;
Backwards never!
A visit to my lover's room,
I know my back could be crooked;
But, i always move on.
I will surely reach to the end one day,
Like a visit to Shangri-La Hotel;
Forward ever, backwards never.
There comes a time when all seems so lost but,
Don't give up on your dreams in this life;
Like a marriage in the rain,
I do have a lover to visit.
The visit of my lover's room is like,
A love song in the rain;
The visit to my lover's room is like,
To marry in the rain;
The visit to my lover's room is like,
To make love in the rain;
The visit to my lover's room is like,
To walk naked in the rain;
The visit to my lover's room is like,
To sing in the rain;
Life is like that at times and,
I have my mind on you.

At any given moment on any day
And when it does
You personally will meet The Wraith
Face to face
Join us for The Wraith's exhibit of Shangri-La

The beginning of a brand new saga

Swing out hatchets if we must

Well I come home from a party
And I'm feelin' a little spaced
And I walk on in the kitchen and
A bat fly in me face
Well de bat come down the chimney
You see he wait in the fireplace
When he hear that I'm getting a little snack
De bat fly in me face

Fly in me face
Fly in me face
Well I hope de bat he don't come out
And fly in me face tonight
De bat he rat got wings
All the children know that
What I need to know from the lord
Is how you get de wings on the cat
They say a bat's got radar
And he can fly through fan
But what I am afraid of is
That he got another plan
To fly in me face
Fly in me face
(Chorus)
Well I hope de bat he don't come out
And fly in me face tonight
Fly in me face
One thing I forgot to tell you about the human race
Everybody get a little upset when a bat fly in they face
Fly in me face
Fly in me face
Well I hope de bat he don't come out

I Will Lead You
Come along take a ride 'cross the sky for an hour
Leave your mind take your soul fill the hole with flowers
From the lake through the trees in the streets for the powder
In the creed for the freeze I gotta place this power
'Cuz I am a lie
'Cuz I am a lie
'Cuz I am a lie
'Cuz I am a lie
[Chorus:]
I will lead you for awhile
Take your place to place
Bring you to this pyre
See you face to face
Come along to this flick take your sympathy with your symphony
See this dish a wonderful wish it's the perfect kiss it's the real thing
See the pitch it's the greatest of hits it's the missing with the wishing
At least you caught a smile when you coughed awhile when you did this kissing
'Cuz I am a lie
'Cuz I am a lie
'Cuz I am a lie
'Cuz I am a lie
[Chorus]
I will lead you
I will lead you
See you face to face
Face to face
See you face to face
Face to face
Yeah
See you face to face
Face to face
I see you face to face
Yeah

Wouldnt Want It Any Other Way
(ed hill/david frasier)
(track 3 - time 3:51)
Without me
Maybe youd find somebody else
A little wiser
With a lot more wealth
And without you
Its true Id be free
To go chasing all my dreams
Without any strings
But I wouldnt want it any other way
Having you to come home to at the end of every day
Your tender touch puts a smile back on my face
Wouldnt want it any other way
Hard times
May never let up on us
And maybe all well ever have
Will barely be enough
And babe you know
How cold the wind can blow
Loves never let us down
When we needed it the most
And I wouldnt want it any other way
Having you to come home to at the end of every day
Your tender touch puts a smile back on my face
Wouldnt want it any other way
Your tender touch puts a smile back on my face
Wouldnt want it any other way
Wouldnt want it any other way
Any other way
Oh girl
You know I love you more each day
Any other way

I Hate Your Face
I was with you in venusian times
With sea colored angels
White stallions and goblets of wine
It was always you
We watched the ice melt down
We danced in victorian towns
The plains can change but the face remains
I feel you
I see you
Everywhere I look
Chorus:
I hate your face
cause I love your face
You know I cant explain
The way it wracks my brain
You know it makes me cry
We never said good bye
I hate your face
cause I love your face
Ive been looking for you all of this life
Through six-sided windows
Like a vacant room in a crowded mind
Were children born of the sea
Tangled eternally
Oh, I need to touch you
And feel you
I see you
Everywhere I look
(chorus)
Dont do it...youre following my heart
You knew it...youre following my soul...
And I think theres a connection
(chorus)
I never did want to love you
I thought I was over you
I hate your face
cause I love your face

Keep Me In The Dark
When the evening sunlights fingers stretch across the floor
Cover up your eyes with feathers softly close the door
Take me in your heavy lips, take me where the shadows slide
Im with your blindfull secrets, turning fast and loose
The lacey intrigue of this weekend should not be abused
You can take me where you want but could you take me all the time
Away yeah, oh wait a little longer dont go too far
I wouldnt lie, I wouldnt like you keeping me in the dark
Tender is the truce Im tasting, watching you dictates
Heady nights of sleepless wasting a face I cant escape
We could wave the world goodbye to all of the boys cheerio
(chorus) (chorus)
-
Help me now Im slipping deeper, tell me what to say
When without words you call me closer each time you turn away
Something inside you cries but is it something Ill never find

Away yeah, oh wait a little longer before we go too far
I wouldnt lie, I wouldnt like to think you were
Keeping me in the dark

Chorus:
If I could change the way I live my life today
I wouldnt change a single thing
cos if I changed my world into another place
I wouldnt see your smiling face
Honey dont you worry, theres nothin to worry for
cos if I didnt love you I wouldnt be here now
And if I didnt want you I would have turned around by now
Youve got to believe me babe, believe that I love you so
cos if I didnt love you I would have turned around
And if I didnt want you, then I would want you out
This love, this love has filled me up
Ooh my love Ill never give you up
cos Ill always want your love
(chorus)
Believing is the answer, the answer to all your fears
When I first said I loved you, I went in for the kill
Now when I say I love you, I mean I always will
This love, this love has filled me up
Ooh my love Ill never give you up
cos Ill always want your love

Kid About It
He saw no tears in her eyes
Say you wouldnt kid about it
Shes telling all of those lies
She swore shed never told before
But I doubt it
So he bit his tongue
And tried hard to capture his breath
When she said I waited all my life
For just a little death
Say you wouldnt kid about it
Say you wouldnt kid about it
Say you wouldnt kid about it
Sometimes he takes himself so seriously
She makes her movements mysteriously
Slow fast or furiously
Its a big responsibility
With a face full of mixed ability
Big dreams of elegance
Singing the leaving of liverpool
And turning into americans
Say you wouldnt kid about it
So what if this is a mans world
I want to be a kid again about it
Give me back my sadness
I couldnt hide it even if I tried girl
We fight so frail
Making love tooth and nail
You gave me the kiss of my life
I might even live to tell the tale

Love Or Money
Verse1:
You might be a small town boy
But your livin large in my world
When you wrap your love around me,
You know Im your number one girl
Traveled across the sea
But it didnt mean that much to me
Youre the star that makes me shine
No matter where my heart may be
Do you need to know
Anything more than this?
Chorus:
I wouldnt leave you for love
Wouldnt leave you for money
Wouldnt leave you for anything in this world honey
Wouldnt do it for diamonds
Wouldnt do it for gold
Baby next to your lovin, they just leave me cold
Verse2:
A millionaire from london
Tried to sweep me off my feet
A lear jet, a fancy car,
But still you got them beat
If valentino courted me
To marry him in rome
It might be tempting,
But you know Id rather stay home with you
cause youre still the one
Who makes me feel like a queen
Chorus
Breakdown:
Would you do it for love? ( wouldnt do it for love! )
Would you do it for money? ( wouldnt do it for money! )
Would you do it for love? ( wouldnt do it for love! )
Or what? ( nothin in the world honey! )

Ill never let you go!
Do I need to know any more than this!? !
