Hold me close and tell me I’m not dreaming
Prove to me you’re really here to stay
Whisper softly, say you’ll never leave me
So we can be together every day
Take my hand and lead me to tomorrow
Captivate me, put me under your spell
Help me throw away my inhibitions
Encourage me to walk from my shell
I got a one way ticket to the end of the world
No turning back and just one stop in paradise
I need to show you that I can be the girl
Who never ever has to pay the price
Of sacrifice
Hey Hey hey hey now
Hey hey hey yeah
No more talking let’s get to the action
Leave the words until another time
Concentrate upon the concentration ’
Cos all we need to do is cross the line

It Ain't Gonna Happen
03:17
|
|||
|
Everything you’ve said
All that I’ve been told
You want me to live my life
Under your control
It ain’t gonna happen
You open all my mail
You’re checking on my phone
You try and stop me going
Anywhere alone
It ain’t gonna happen
I hear it n your voice,
I see it in your face
You must call the shots
And I must know my place
But my attitude is changing,
I demand respect
I think it’s fair to warn you
What you can expect……
From me
You criticize my clothes
Advise me what to wear
Stop me using make up
And try to style my hair
It ain’t gonna happen
You ask me who I’m talking to
Enquire who I meet
And if I see someone I know
I’m meant to cross the street
It ain’t gonna happen
You tell me what I think
The words I need to say
And all I should be doing
Every single day
It ain’t gonna happen
I detect a pattern
But it ain’t gonna happen

Everybody Knows
04:00
|
|||
|
Look at all the love that I own
What good is love while I’m alone
I can just imagine what they’re thinking
It’s so obvious it shows
Everybody knows, Everybody knows
Look at all the tears I have cried
An ocean of emptiness inside
I can still remember how it felt
When the door began to close
Everybody knows, Everybody knows
It's so hard to keep a secret I suppose
But it's left me with my broken heart exposed
Cos Everybody Knows
Conversations end too soon
The second I walk in the room
It’s true, I know they do
Corners full of whispering
Feeding on my suffering
It’s true, I hear them too
Stare into my eyes and see the pain
The window to my soul so badly stained
I could stay forever in this image
In a moment that is froze
Everybody knows, Everybody knows
Gaze into the darkness of my dreams
What you see is seldom what it seems
I can just imagine what they’re thinking
It’s so obvious it shows
Everybody knows, Everybody knows
It's so hard to keep a secret I suppose
But it's left me with my broken heart exposed
Cos Everybody knows

Such A Bad Girl
03:12
|
|||
|
You got it bad, you’ve been a bad girl
You got it bad, you’re such a bad girl
You got it bad, you’re so bad girl
You got it bad you’re such a bad bad girl
You want some gratitude
Well that’s ok
But drop the attitude?
No way
I won’t change
You think that I should
It’s just a case
Of being misunderstood
You can’t complain that
We don’t connect
We never will until you
Pay me some respect
You tell your friends
I treat you like dirt
One day I will
Then you’ll see how it hurts
Good girls are easy to find
Sweet girls are gentle and kind
Nice girls are eager to please
But girls like me will bring you to your knees
You’re never happy
With how I am
It’s time you started
Acting like a man
You think I’ll change
Turn out to be good
I’m the baddest girl
In the neighbourhood

Opening Doors
03:34
|
|||
|
It’s all about opening doors
Smashing through ceilings
Crashing through floors
It’s all about making those calls
Breaking down barriers
Knocking down walls I
t’s not what you know
It’s who you turn to
In your hour of need
Time to call in every favour
If you wanna succeed
In turning the key
It’s all about opening doors
If you don’t wanna do
What you did before
It’s all about breaking the mould
Grabbing your life back
Taking control
If you see the opportunity
Pick the moment,
Seize the day
You’d better be ready
Cos you’ll soon be on your way
It’s all about opening doors
Never losing sight of
What you’re asking for
It’s all about removing the doubt
When you wanna show the world
What you’re all about
In through one door
Out of another
A whole new world
To be discovered
One door closes
A new one beckons you
Just walk on through
That’s what you do
By opening doors

Can't Decide On Love
04:20
|
|||
|
My heart is beating
But I’m dead inside
My soul is empty
But I’m still alive
My head is spinning
From what I’ve been thinking of
All because you can’t decide on love
I’m going crazy
Don’t know what to do
It’s so hard lately
Getting through to you
Could be, maybe
That you wanted to be tough
All because you can’t decide on love
I’m so sure but you’re so full of doubt
I can see but you can’t work it out
You just don’t understand
What I’m talking about
My life’s on hold
I’m getting nowhere fast
It’s gotta change
For you and I to last
I tell you living..
..in the past is never enough
All because you can’t decide on love

Black Guitar
04:24
|
|||
|
I’m sure I read, that the papers said
A single gunman shot him dead
And the whole world mourned
The passing of a legend
So how could I now see
As plain as it could be
Him stood in front of me
Without question
He had the same expressions
He was playing ‘Yer Blues’ on a black guitar
To a handful of people in a backstreet bar
Nobody knew his name
No one remembered his fame
How he used to be a superstar
Now he sings for his drinks
As he strums on a black guitar
One dead, one replaced
Reappeared with a different face
And the whole world sang along
To the brand new sound
It’s easier to choose
Not to see the clues
Accept the broadcast news
On the rebound
But I was spellbound
The beat goes on
Yes the beat goes on

Everything Is Wrong
04:03
|
|||
|
Don’t know why I feel this way
Why I give me heart away
Don’t know why I choose to say
I’m strong
When everything is wrong
Don’t know why I’m here tonight
Why I take the time to fight
When I oughta run and hide
Be gone
How do we ever
How do we stay together
How do we work it out
When everything is wrong so often
How do we agree
Decide on what should be
How do we get along
When everything is wrong
Don’t know how I still believe
Never know if I deceive
Though I know I’ll never leave
Move on
When everything is wrong
There’s one thing that must be true
Guess I need the same as you
All that we should try and do
Is belong
Whatever we lack
We shouldn’t look back
Just face the fact
That opposites attract

Bar None
03:49
|
|||
|
Thinking ‘bout the days when things
Weren’t going so well
And all I could imagine
Was a living hell
But I never lost sight
That nothing lasts forever
It was going to get better
I could tell
And I’d feel fine
if I gave it time
Now I’m sitting on a five bar gate
Singing twelve bar blues
‘Bout the night I spent
On one bar stool
Pouring a drink and
Pouring my heart out to anyone
Having two too many
Three sheets to the wind
‘Til all five senses stumbled in
And I’m hit for six
As my heart begins to run
It’s the loneliest moment in love
Bar none
Dreaming of the dreams I had
Before you left
All the plans we made
I could never forget
But I knew one day
There’d be a good tomorrow
I’d begin to follow
A better way

Secret Smile
04:40
|
|||
|
A knowing glance
A brush of your hand as I pass by
An understanding
As we catch each other’s eye
We never speak
But there’s a message loud and clear
We shout in silence
So no one ever hears
It may be nothing more than fantasy
But it always seems so real to me
Gonna capture that moment
Keep it in my heart forever
I’ll never forget to remember
Noticing your secret smile
Time stands still
As my heart beats like thunder
This spell that I’m under
Can’t help but make me wonder
Is it all worthwhile
Just to see your secret smile
A certain hour
A particular spot along the street
It’s just coincidence
The place we seem to meet
No superstitions
I don’t believe in fate
So should I make a move
Or maybe I should wait
It must be something more than fantasy
‘Cos it always seems so real to me

Moth To A Flame
04:29
|
|||
|
I tell you to leave
Go find a life of your own
But you won’t believe me
When I say you’re better off alone
You could be free
From all that is me
And yet you don’t see
The opportunity I give you
Every chance to walk away
Wave goodbye, call it a day
Every chance to turn and run
Wish me luck, tell me that it’s done
But like a moth to a flame
You keep coming back again
Like a moth to a flame
You keep coming back
You keep coming back again
I don’t want you to stay
If it’s all on my terms
(You see I’m) Naturally selfish
That’s the lesson you must learn
You’d never be true
To what motivates you
But all you need do
Is understand I’m handing to you….

Long Days Heavy Nights
03:55
|
|||
|
When the days are long
And the nights are heavy
And sleep has walked away from me
All I’m left with
Are my sweet memories
Took a message last Friday
You said there’d been a change of plan
You weren’t coming home for the weekend
Why I just don’t understand
You’d received an invitation
From your new found friends
I guess that’s just the starting of a trend
Tried to call you on Monday
Your phone was busy all the time
Rang on Tuesday and Wednesday
You were always on the line
I was getting kinda worried
As Thursday came and went
Now we’re back at Friday
And it's starting all over again
Now the days are long
And the nights are heavy
And it seems you’ve walked away from me
All I’m left with
Are my sweet memories
The long days and heavy nights
Will stay with me
The long days and heavy nights
Will stay with me

Breakaway
03:29
|
|||
|
Walk about in a daze
No way out of my maze
On a Monday morning
With the weekend
Ringing in my ears
Swimming ‘round my head
I wish I was somewhere else instead
I’m spinning like a top
In a circle, never stop
It’s perpetual motion
Driving me mad
Bouncing in my brain
Melting in my mind
I wish I was somewhere less confined
Breakaway
If I could just escape today
Cut the chains
That forever pull me back again
Do what I wanna do
Be what I wanna be
Go where I wanna go
See what I wanna see
Think what I wanna think
Say what I wanna say
Hold my nerve
And make a breakaway
Go to work in a trance
Never taking a chance
Every weekday morning
Half asleep
Longing for my bed
Shivering inside
I wish I was somewhere I could hide

Dancing Alone
04:16
|
|||
|
He turns heads
I let mine be turned
Now I’ve time to reflect
The lessons I’ve learned
I made a mistake
And my fingers are burned
I just can’t imagine
How I could return
So if you see me
And I’m a crazy sight
Don’t you worry
It’s gonna be alright
I’m dancing alone
‘Cos I can’t go home….tonight
I’ve been a fool
That’s not easy to say
So much has changed for me
In the course of one day
I took a wrong turn
I lost my way
Now I just can’t imagine
You’d want me to stay

I need a little sunshine
Just to brighten up my day
I need a little sunshine
To chase the blues away
If you say you love me
Life will be ok
I just need a little sunshine …………today
If you try lo look into my sky
All you’re gonna see are
Dark clouds floating by
But storms can pass
They were never meant to last
You can be my shelter
That’s all I’m gonna ask
I listened out for heavy weather warnings
I always had umbrellas and a mac
But I’ve been told that from tomorrow morning
We can all expect the sunshine back
Don’t complain if you see the rain
Or when the wind is blowing into a hurricane
I have found
Even snow falling on the ground
Won’t dampen my spirits
If you are still around
