Live Forever
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth)
Well I gave up cocaine and I gave up smack
I gave up drinking alcohol and smoking crack
I gave up living on the never never
But I cant give up believing that Im going to live forever
Well I gave up computer games, I gave up meat
I gave up watching tv in my favourite seat
I gave up wearing fur and I gave up wearing leather
But I cant give up believing that Im going to live forever
Give it up, give it up
Dont you know youve got to lose?
The desires you were born with
And your talent to abuse
Give it up, give it up
Theres a better life to live
Give it up, give it up
Give it all youve got to give
Well I gave up sugar and I gave up spice
I gave up everything that feels allright
cos I feel that these addictions are a chain you have to sever
Im addicted to believing that Im going to live forever

Give to Love
Love came knocking on thy door
With you in sight to love and adore
But thine did give
All that thou have and
need to live?
You gave thine lips for love to speak
You gave thine heart for love's heart's weak
You gave thine face, to love to trace
its tears across thee a sorrowful place
thou give to thy loss when it comes to love!
You gave thine soul to love's control
You gave love thy hand to hold
You gave thy feet for love to kiss
You gave thy happiness to love's bliss
You gave thy breast for love to touch
You gave thine body for love to clutch.
But what did love give thee?
Love took and took and left thee with nothing!
With nothing now you are at peace, thou art free!
This is what love did to me!

Would You
If I gave you my love would you return it?
Or would you spit on it and burn it?
If I gave you my heart would you keep it safe?
Or would you break it and send it away?
If I gave you everything I had would you give me anything at all?
Or would you laugh and make me cry so much that I would fall?
If i gave you myself would i get anything back?
Or is this the last thing to take me off track?
If i didn't give anything would you give me anything first?
Or would me not giving anything make it that much worse?
If unrequited love is what this is then I'm telling you good bye.
Because I can't stand the pain that comes from all your lies.

God Gave Me...
God gave me eyes so I could see,
God gave me legs so I could walk,
God gave me hands so I could feel,
God gave me ears so I could hear,
God gave me a nose so I could smell,
God gave me a heart so I could love,
God gave me a brain so I could think,
I’m still trying to figure out why God gave me you.

Last Christmas (Pudding Mix) (feat. Wham!)
(CHORUS)
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby do you recognise me?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
(Happy Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again
(CHORUS)
(Oooh. Oooh Baby)
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Oooh Oooh
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
(CHORUS)
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
(Gave you my heart)
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Next year
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
special
someone
someone
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
who'll give me something in return
I'll give it to someone
hold my heart and watch it burn
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
I've got you here to stay
I can love you for a day
I thought you were someone special
gave you my heart
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone
last christmas I gave you my heart
you gave it away
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone

Sometimes
pressure fried the coldest head
bent to the side, wishing he was dead
and i would still defend
i would still defend
i'll give up on it all
i'll give up on the greed
i'll give up on the ones
who'll give up on me
held up by the poor somewhere
they're unaware, but i know we are scared
if i was to give in
the fight would soon begin
begin
so i'll give up on it all
i'll give up on the greed
i'll give up on the ones
who'll give up on me
sometimes
the sun shines
sunshine
sometimes
the sun shines
sunshine
did you give up on it all?
did you give up on the greed?
did you give up on the ones
who gave up on me?
did you give up on it all?
did you give up on the greed?
did you give up on the ones
who gave up on me?

She Gave It Away
She gave away all her love
No reason to keep it
Shed saved it for only one
But he didnt need it
And downtown the midnight circus
Hypnotised like a spinning top
Offering dreams, like the gloss magazines
She had so much to give so she gave it away
And all of the loves youve known
There must have been someone
Who gave you that starry night
And whose gonna point the finger
Only those who never known
She lost and she cried, the tears run dry
She had so much to give so she gave it away
Mary was like you and i
She remembers how she lay with him
But to the world shes just a drunken cheap trick
Red light side kick, an angel downtown
The priest calls her wednesdays
And shows her a wooden cross
He tells of the love hes found
She thinks of the one she lost
And downtown the midnight circus
Hypnotised like a spinning top
So easy to choose when theres nothing to lose
She had so much to give so she gave it away

Your Gone
God gave me one heart
but its broken
god gave me two eyes
but i wish i couldnt see
god gave me to feet
i wish i could just leave
god gave me two hands
but i wish i couldnt feel
god gave me one brain
but i wish i couldnt think
god gave me my memories
but i wish i couldnt remeber
god gave me you
but i wish i never wouldve lost you
god took you away
and i wish you were still here
god gave me life
when i wish i didnt have it
god gave me all these things but the only one i wanted
he took away

The Greatest Love
the greatest love this world has known
is a love that can't be shown.
it is the love from our GOD above.
he created man and all that you see
gave us a heart and soul, and set us free.
unlike any other creatures of the earth
he gave us feelings and all its worth.
he put a universe above our heads
and the earth below our feet.
gave us fruits and plants that we may eat.
he gave us water so that we could live
and other animals so that they could give.
give us the nourishment that we need
so on this world we could feed.
this is the greatest love that he could give.
you could feel his powers, it filled the air
a sensation so great, it was beyond compare.
where ever he walked people followed
trying to fill their hearts, that were empty and hollow.
many walked like empty shells
while others walked with their
bodies, battered and broken
but with a love and faith in them
of which is still spoken.
his love for all mankind
will live throughout all time.
everything is possible if you BELIEVE
it is something that is daily seen.

Jesus Saves
I never wanted anyone as much as I want you
While you were making everyone I never had a clue
No matter how you treated me Im still in love with you
Cant kick the feeling that the more I give the more I owe
Im walking through the garden of the sun its raining though
Im waiting for your kiss of life but its not gonna show
God gave you to everyone
In your summer of love
God gave you to everyone
Cause Im not enough
We cant all be all things to everyone
Youll never spend your whole life standing in the sun
But you make me feel I dont mean anything to anyone
Looking for the kiss in your mouth
Living at the edge of my skin
Standing on the roof of heaven with the devil as it crashes in
God gave you to everyone
You told me so
God gave you to everyone
Oh Domino
God gave you to everyone
In your summer of love
God gave you to everyone
Cause Im not enough
Oh oh
Oh oh

Being, here, now
First, I gave up asking, Why?
for I was never told the truth;
now I live in whylessness;
then I gave up asking, How?
for they said, best find out for yourself;
now I live in howlessness;
then I gave up asking, When?
for they said, who can be sure?
now I live in whenlessness;
then I gave up asking, Where?
for they said, where is it not?
now I live in wherelessness;
then I gave up asking, Who?
for they said, first know yourself;
now I live in wholessness;
and now I live without these questions,
the answers run toward me;
now I am more here and now, and
elsewhereness near gone;
for elsewhere’s here and now, I find;
and Other’s really One.

Since I Found You
She gave away all her love
No reason to keep it
She'd avoid it for only one
But he didn't need it
And downtown the midnite circus
Hypnotised like a spinning top
Offering her dreams, like the gloss magazines
She had so much to give... so she gave it away
And all of the loves you've known
There must have been someone
Who gave you that starry night
You lay there two as one
And who's going to point the finger?
Only those who've never known
She lost and she cried, tears run and dry
And she'd so much to give... so she gave it away
Mary was like you and I
She remembers how she lay with him
But to world she's just a drunken cheap trick
Red light side kick, an angel downtown
The priest calls her wednesdays
And shows her a wooden cross
He tells of the love he's found

Hypnotised like a spinning top
So easy to choose
When there's nothing to lose
She had so much to give... so she gave it away

Give Thanks To The Holy One
Give thanks to the holy one
That created you in his image
Give thanks to the holy one
That gave you life
Give thanks to the holy one
That gave your health
Give thanks for the holy one
That invited you to his table
For holy communion
Give thanks to the holy one
That made heaven and earth
Give thanks to the holy one
That made the lake here at home
That connects you with the other part of the world

Never Give Up On A Dream
(rod stewart, bernie taupin / jim cregan)
If theres doubt and youre cold,
Dont you worry what the future holds.
Weve gotta have heroes to teach us all
To never give up on a dream.
Claim the road, touch the sun,
No force on earth could stop you run.
When your heart bursts like the sun
Never never give up on a dream.
Shadows fall, daylight dies,
Freedom never got a place to hide.
Search forever photo finish line
But never give up on your dream.
Crazy notions fill your head,
You gotta break all the records set.
Push yourself until the end
But dont you ever give up on your dream.
Now listen to me
You dont need no restrictions yeah
Oh, sing it again
You cant live on sympathy.
You just need to go the distance,
Oh the distance
Thats all you need to be free,
To be free, to be free, to be free.
Sing a song for me children
You dont need no restrictions yeah
You cant live on sympathy.
You just need to go the distance,
Thats all you need to be free,
Now listen to me!
Inspiring all to never lose,
Itll take a long long time before they fill your shoes
Itll take somebody, somebody, whos lot like you
Who never gave up on a dream.
No, you never gave up on a dream
No, you never gave up on a dream.
You never, never, never,
Never gave up on a dream.

What You Gave Me
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Youve given me so much warmth
I dont see how I could ever grow cold
In my mind theres a picture of you and i
That nobody has the price to buy
I dont know what made you change your mind
But youll be back
Its just a matter of time
cause what you gave me is more than enough to last
Ooh, baby
What you gave me is more than enough to last
Yeah, into my life you came
Like a breath of spring
Giving me a song to sing
Though I know youre leaving
But I wont be grieving
cause time has a way of showing us
The things that we really need
And no matter where you go
I know youll find your way back home
cause though I know its not reality
Youll always be a part of me
cause what you gave me is more than enough to last
What you gave me is more than enough to last
What you gave me
What you gave me is more than enough to last
Yes, yes its more
Its more than enough to last
Yes, yes its more
Its more than enough to last
What you gave me is more than enough to last
What you gave me is more than enough to last
What you gave me is more than enough to last
What you gave me is more than enough to last

Give Me Your Love
Baby why do you not love me
Why do you not see me in the light that I see you in
Dont you ever need me in the still of the night
Ive been there in your shoes
Feeling strong, feeling innocence
Nothing short of a miracle could make it make sense
Oh darling
Chorus:
I gave you the moon, the stars above
You think you would give me your love
Came in like the tide, rose up like the sun
You think you would give me your love
I know all thats in your rulebook
I took more than one look
And I know you are the proud type
But I hate game playing, yes I know how to win
But its not fair to me
You should move cause youre wanting to
Not because I fly
Can you only view your dreams when theyre
Up there in the sky
Oh, darlin...
Chorus:
I gave you the moon, the stars above
You think you would give me your love
Oh, darling, yes you would
Came in like the tide, rose up like the sun
You think you would give me your love
Chorus
I gave you the moon, the stars above
You think you would give me your love
Come on, give it to me
Came in like the tide, rose up like the sun
You think you would give me your love
Oh, give me, give me, give me, give me
The stars above
You think you would give me your love
Your love, your love, your love, your love, love
Came in like the tide, rose up like the sun
You think you would give me your love

The Creator
God gave us life, spirit, love,
freedom of thought and choice.
God gave us a questionable mind,
and his presence to hear our voice.
God gave direction based on goodness,
freedom, and brotherly love.
God gave us our conscience
to remind us of what is good.
God gave us eyes to see
and a brain to give us sight.
An open choice of several paths
and opportunities to put wrongs to right.

Dont Give Up On Each Other
(b. gibb/g. bitzer)
You say its better to behave
Just like I never met you
Why is it only I can cry
And you can say goodbye in a minute
Dont you remember I was your friend
And you can just erase all those days
And those tender reflections we bear
We promised not to fall in love
But it was there and soon I was in it
Already I was more than your friend
Its harder for me
No words or expressions
Can make you hungry for me
Ive never seen you on your knees
Like Im beggin you
Dont give up, give up on each other
Back where we started
No love to hold us down
Ill never give another anymore than I gave to you
Will never come around
Always and always
You told me love was ever and ever
Together the dream will come true
If we turn back
If you turn back to me
You wont be sorry if you stay
Ill stake my life upon it
Little flame inside us can be fed
Take our precious love to the limit
Its the one that you need and its your friend
Its harder for me
No words or expressions
Anything that makes you worry
Ive never seen you on your knees
And Im in a hurry
How is it you can break my heart
But you cant be sorry
Push away whoever you please
But Im begging you
Dont give up, give up on each other
Back where we started
No love to hold us down
Ill never give another
Anymore than I gave to you
Will never come around, oh
Dont give up, give up on each other
We cant lose tomorrow
Better treasure what weve got
Ill never give another anymore than I gave to you
