NOW THAT YOU’VE GONE
I look at the sky
It starts to rain
I start to cry
I feel the pain
I look at life
I watch it die
Can’t I just get
One more try
I hear the words
They’re all the same
Every word
Brings me more pain
I hear my friends
They don’t love you
They can’t see
Just what I do
I know in my heart
That love is gone
I know it but
I just go on
I know my dream
Is bruised and beat
And so I lay
At your feet
EVERY
Every night is still the same
Another dream and yet more pain
Every night I see your face
But now you’re in another place
Every dream your always there
Eyes of fire and flaming hair
Every dream will come true
Every day I yearn for you
Every time I call your name
I feel the hurt just the same
Every time I see the dawn
I feel the pain of being alone
Every kiss I ever knew
Brings my thoughts back to you
Every word of love I’ve known
Is due to you alone and you alone.
IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT
In the heat of the night
I call your name
Eyes filled with sorrow
Head filled with pain
All through the dark
Until first light
Your always here
You come each night
In the cool of the day
I sit and wait
I know you’ll come
When it gets late
Although your gone
Your love burns bright
Your always here
You come each night.
TOO LATE
Too late the moon
Too late the sun
I thought that love
Had just begun
Too late the dream
Too late the tears
I live my life
In empty years
Too late for you
Too late for me
Too late the yearning
For to be free
Too late the dreams
Too late for you
Now that you’ve gone
What can I do
Too late the nights
Too late the days
Too late for us
Too late always
Too late the life
I gave to you
Too late the hope
That died with you.
I KNOW
I know why the white dove sails
Above the silver sea
I know how love’s hope fades
Between you and me
I see southward flying birds
Cross the autumn sky
Yes I see all these things
And still I wonder why
I know why the tiger prowls
Its meagre cage at night
I know why he dreams his dreams
Never in the light
I see the saints looking down
Each hides his face from me
I see all these things
But still I am not free
I know why you took your love
Took it away from me
I know why it turned to dust
There for all to see
I see myself in mirrors
Hanging on every wall
Oh what have you done to me
How did I lose it all.
SISTER UNDER THE SKIN
The time has come
They say to us
To sort the gold
Out from the dust
But they don’t know
How to begin
‘cos they can’t see we’re
Sister, under the skin
They tell us this
They tell us that
They want us thin
They want us fat
Oh can’t they see
They cannot win
Can’t they see we’re
Sisters, under the skin
They write for us
They preach to us
But they don’t know
Zip about love
They can’t see
That we will win
Can’t they see we’re
Sisters, under the skin
So come on girls
Don’t hear their lies
We have heard
Their alibis
We can see
We know we’ll win
Because we are
Sisters, under the skin.
THIS BIRD HAS FLOWN
You left me here cryin’
Cryin’ on my own
There’s no good in lyin’
This bird has flown
You say get together
I want to be alone
You were only fair weather
This bird has flown
You want to come around
But I have grown
Loves underground
This bird has flown
You say that you love me
You call me by ‘phone
Look closely and you will see
This bird has flown.
IN YOUR SHIP
In your ship
I sail no oceans
In your ship
I sail no seas
In your ship
I place my everything
And your ship
Brings you to me
In our ship
We’ll sail the ocean
In our ship
We’ll sail the seas
In our ship
We will travel
In our ship
We will be free
Little ship
On the ocean
Little ship
On the sea
Little ship
Sails to heaven
Little ship
For you and me
Little ship
For you and me.
YOU’RE MY LIGHT
You’re my light
In the sky
You’re the life
That cant die
But they took
You from me
Far away
‘cross the sea
Now you’re gone
And I’m alone
No place to go
No peace at home
All of the stars
Fell from the sky
And I remember
And I ask why
You were the stars
You were the sun
What do I do
Now you have gone
So I just sit
Alone and dry
Why did you
Have to die.
DOES MY BUM LOOK BIG IN THIS
Does my bum look big in this?
Do I remind you of a bus
Do my cheeks look good to kiss
Or is it just too much
Do my hips look big to you
Is there anything I can do
Diets just ain’t for me
Do I look better in the blue
Why are my breasts so small
Thank heaven for these new bras
I used to be so shy
Now I hang around in bars
Is my hair just too long
Shall I get it cut
Why do I talk to you
Your mouth is always shut
I’ve tried a million things
Come give me a little kiss
Your such a lovely guy
Does my bum look big in this.
COME TO ME
Come to me softly
Come to me now
Come to me quickly
Will you show me how
Come to me gently
Come to me rough
Come to me sweetly
I can’t get enough
Come to me nightly
Come to me again
Come to me once more
Come take the pain
Come to me today
Come to me tonight
Don’t go away
With you it’s alright.
LOVE STILL DIES
Love still dies
Love still lives
Love still flies
Love still gives
In my soul
In my eyes
I give it all
Love still dies
Love still dies
Every day
Don’t tell lies
Don’t go away
In your soul
In your eyes
I give it all
Love still dies
Love still dies
Love still bleeds
Love has highs
Love has needs
In my heart
In my eyes
We’re apart
Love still dies.
TAKE ME
Take me
Baby won’t you take me
Take me
Take me in your arms
Take me
Baby don’t forsake me
Take me
Keep me safe from harm
Take me
Baby won’t you take me
Take me
I’m here for you tonight
Take me
Baby won’t you make me
Take me
Cos you know its right
Take me
I ask you please
Take me
Take me ‘way with you
Take me
Loving me won’t break me
Take me
Like you always do.
MY LIFE IS LIKE A BIRD
My life is like a bird
That flutters in your hand
Struggling to be free
Hold it whilst you can
My life is like my love
Captured in your heart
I know that I would die
If you and I should part
My love is like a flower
Blowing in the breeze
Please hold me now
I only want to please
The flower is like a prayer
Offered up above
To help you to know
The meaning of my love
My prayer is like an arrow
Shot from cupids bow
I know I don’t know much
But I know I love you so
The arrow found its mark
In the heart of the bird
And stopped its pretty song
A song you never heard.
THE NIGHT WAS MADE FOR LOVING
The night was made for loving
So take me by the hand
Let me take you some place
I call the promised land
The night was made for loving
Dreams were made to share
Come and sit beside me
Feel the magic of the air
The night was made for loving
Walk with me a while
I see my world turning
In the magic of your smile
The night was made for loving
We aren’t meant to be alone
Come with me tonight
And we shall see the dawn
The night was made for loving
The morning holds no fears
Take my love in your arms
Live a thousand years
The night was made for loving
And I was made for you
You were made for me love
We both know its true.
BERTHA AND DORIS
Bertha and Doris
Had such ugly names
Wherever they went
They caused them shame
So Michelle and Marie
Were born full grown
To live and have fun
Lives of their own
To Cancun they flew
Their heads full of scenes
Of enjoying themselves
And living their dreams
And straight to the bar
Our heroines fled
To grab them some guys
And drag them to bed
When they woke in the morning
With two hairy men
And barf on the sheets
As presents from them
They looked at each other
And solemnly swore
To be Bertha and Doris
And go clubbing no more.
WITHOUT YOU
Without you
I climb no mountains
Without you
I scale no peaks
Without you
My life it is empty
Without you
It’s incomplete
Without you
The day is colder
Without you
The night is long
Without you
I must be bolder
Without you
I don’t belong
Without you
There’s no tomorrow
Without you
A sad today
Without you
A life of sorrow
Without you
Can’t see the day.
YOU’RE MY LIGHT
You’re my light
In the sky
You’re the life
That can’t die
But they took
You from me
Far away
‘cross the sea
Now you’re gone
And I’m alone
No place to go
No peace at home
All of the stars
Fell from the sky
And I remember
And I ask why
You were the stars
You were the sun
What do I do
Now you have gone
So I just sit
Alone and cry
Why did you
Have to die.
I LOVE YOU
And I’ve known so many people
And places that were dear to me
Some have gone now, gone forever
And those that stayed, I never see
And so many loves have passed me by
But I can speak to them in my dreams
I hear their voices calling to me
Though they stay behind their screens
And you my perfect lover
Just slipped away one day
You’re lost in time and distance
And I never got to say
I love you
When I look back thru the mem’ries
At friends and of lovers
Why is it always you I see
When there were many others
Like a tattoo in my mind
You’re there and never go
In lonely nights I call your name
The name that no one else can know.
BROTHERS AND SISTERS
Respect is the thing
In short supply
When will we learn
How many must die
Brotherly love
Like sister to brother
Is stronger than
Most any other
Brothers and sisters
Listen to me
This ain’t the way
We’re gonna be
Brothers and sisters
When you have gone
It’ll be too late
To right the wrongs
When will we see
Whats going on
When will we learn
We’ve got it wrong
Love’s the thing
Stronger than hate
Love your loves
Before its too late
Brothers and sisters
Listen to me
This aint the way
We’re gonna be
Brothers and sisters
When you have gone
It’ll be too late
To right the wrongs
We gotta learn
We gotta look
See the world
Not like a book
If I love you
And you love me
Then that’s the way
That it should be
That’s the way
That it should be.
TOO MANY TIMES
Too many times
I’ve been alone
Too many times
I’ve cried
Too many times
Far from home
Too many times
I’ve lied
But you came and rescued me
Shelter from the storm
Gave to me what I need
Kept me safe from harm
Too many times
The light went out
Too many times
I’ve tried
Too many times
Been locked out
Too many times
I’ve cried
But you came and rescued me
Shelter from the storm
Gave to me what I need
Kept me safe from harm
Too many times
I couldn’t find
A vestige of my pride
Too many times
I had hopes
Too many times
They died
Too many times
When all was lost
I called out your name
Too many times
You brought me back
And took away the blame
But you came and rescued me
Shelter from the storm
Gave to me what I need
Kept me safe from harm.
HOW MANY TIMES?
How many times have you left me crying
How many times have I got to cry
If it’s gonna keep on keepin’ on like this
I guess I might as well just die
I need the rain to wash away my tears
I need the rain to never end
Since you left and took my love away
The cryin’ never seems to end
How many times have you tried to hurt me
How many times have I cried
If I’d known you were to let me go
I’d have known our love had died
I need the rain to wash away my tears
I need the rain to never end
Since you left and took my love away
The cryin’ never seems to end
How many times must I be brave
How many times can I pretend
I guess I always knew you’d leave me
And on that day my life would end.
ONLY YOU CAN SET ME FREE
I don’t really want you
But I need you
Wanna get away from you
But I love you
And so it goes
And no one knows
Only you can set me free
Only you can set me free
I don’t really love you
But I want you
I just spend my days
Dreamin’ of you
And so it goes
And no one knows
Only you can set me free
Only you can set me free
I don’t wanna stay here
But I’m so lazy
Seems like you always
Drive me crazy
And so it goes
And no one knows
Only you can set me free
Only you can set me free.
DON’T GO
If you were just to go away
There would never be another day
And all the things I want to say
Would forever be unspoken
And all the hopes and dreams and schemes
And all the old familiar things
Would forevermore be broken
Don’t go
Please don’t go
Don’t go away
But if you didn’t go away
If you stayed with me today
I would chase the clouds away
And we’d live in the sun
And we’d shout and we’d run
And wouldn’t care for anyone
And we’d know a better day
Don’t go
Please don’t go
Don’t go away
But you say that you’ll go
And that I’ll never know
Any future tomorrows
And that I’ll be all alone
And the look on our face
Says that there’s no mistake
And there’ll be no happy home
Don’t go
Please don’t go
Don’t go away.
