The Effect Of You
03:13
|
|||
|
I can’t explain why I seldom sleep at night
I don’t know why I never seem to get things right
Don’t understand what I’m going through
I expect it’s just the effect of you
I won’t deny that I can’t begin to concentrate
Start out early but I always seem to be too late
I asked the doctor what should I do
He expects it’s just the effect of you
All fingers and thumbs
I trip on my tongue
At sixes and sevens, all at sea
I lose the beat with my two left feet
When you dance with me
I must confess got my head stuck in the clouds
I have been known to speak my thoughts out loud
I asked my friends if it was true
They expect it’s just the effect of you

Chinese Whispers
04:05
|
|||
|
I heard from a friend of a friend of a friend
Of a friend you'd been cheating on me
She'd been told by a girl she knows
That that's what her sister had seen
But I know that you know
That I know it's not true
'Cos it's not the kind of thing you'd ever do
Pass it on, get it wrong, move along
Chinese whispers
Mix it up, spice it up, add a twist
To Chinese whispers
What starts out as true
By the time that it gets through
Will paint the worst of you
Chinese whispers
(She said) I believe what was seen,
I don't mean to be mean
But it seems he's been cheating on you
And I don't confide in people that lie
So I'm guessing it must be true
But if he knows that I know
And you know he must
It's not the kind of love that you can trust
Keep it to yourself
Don't tell anybody else
No one needs to know
It was me who told you so

Hearts And Flowers
03:38
|
|||
|
The spark from a chance remark
How your head flew in a spin
From the turmoil deep within
Stays in your mind
Frozen in time
Until one day you find
That somewhere down the line
The soft and silky shine is feeling rough
There's so much more to love
Than hearts and flowers
But there's nothing better in life
Than being in love
The dream of your opening scene
Has played a million times
With the same old corny lines
Yet seems as fresh
As the day you met
But the life that you'd designed
As a paradise in your mind
The years have redefined by being tough
There's so much more to love
Than hearts and flowers
But there's nothing better in life
Than being in love
So when you're bathed in afterglow
While the twilight sinks so low
You think you're sure you know you've had enough
That's when there's so much more to love
Than hearts and flowers
But there's nothing better in life
Than being in love

Crash And Burn
03:54
|
|||
|
Oh how do I love you
Oh tell me how do I trust you
How can I believe the things you say
When all your lying cheating ways
Are pulling me apart at every turn
I’m watching my heart crash and burn
How can I take the things you do
In the way that you may want me to
When all respect you may have earned Is blown apart…….crash and burn
Crash, Burn, Live, Learn
Hold on tight tonight
You’d better watch out
Cos I got you in my sights
How can I ever feel at ease
When filled with such anxieties
Jury’s out, case adjourned
Judgement day…..crash and burn

Three Wishes
04:03
|
|||
|
Why does love appear out of nowhere
Why do feelings get me hooked on you
I don’t know
I don’t know the answer
But I do know
It hit me out of the blue
When my three wishes all came true
Some people have a vision
Of their time ahead
They focus on tomorrow
And forget to live instead
It’s no good planning
What you’re gonna do
‘Cos life brings changes
When you least expect it to
I wished you would hold me, kiss me
The way that lovers do
I wished you’d want me , forever
The way I always wanted you

Just How Much
04:02
|
|||
|
I sit alone and I’m thinking tonight
That when you hold me tight
I couldn’t live without you and yet I doubt you
I sit alone and I’m wondering why
I always seem to cry
End up feeling low
So what I wanna know is…
Just how much of me do you wanna destroy boy
Just how much of my heart do you wanna tear apart
And in just how much of my soul must you kill the rock and roll
Just how much of me do you need
I sit alone and I feel so hurt
All of my self worth
Has been taken, Am I mistaken?
I sit alone and it seems so strange
How much I’ve changed
It’s starting to show
So what I wanna know is…
Just how much of me do you wanna destroy boy
Just how much of my mind must I leave behind
And just how many dreams must be shattered by your schemes
Just how much of me do you need
I can’t answer all the questions, that is true
But I know one answer must be to question you
Just how much of me do you wanna destroy boy
Just how much of my day do you wanna steal away
And in just how many lies must I pretend to compromise
Just how much of me do you need

Stoney broke – I’m living on air
The sun ain’t shining but you know I don’t care
I’m in love and it’s beautiful
Yes I’m in love and it’s beautiful
The moon in my sign is heading for Mars
But I don’t care what they tell me in the stars
I’m in love and it’s beautiful
Yes I’m in love and it’s beautiful
Gave a letter to the mail man
Addressed to Mr Sun
It said shine a beam of love
On everyone
Empty pockets , out on my luck
Sleeping rough in the back of a truck
I’m in love and it’s beautiful
Yes I’m in love and it’s beautiful
Ain’t got a watch but plenty of time
I tell you buddy you can keep that dime
I’m in love and it’s beautiful
Yes I’m in love and it’s beautiful
I’m in love and it’s beautiful

Baby don’t come running to me
Don’t make a scene
When your world comes tumbling down again
Baby don’t come looking for me
Don’t seek me out
When your world comes tumbling down about you
We’ve all got troubles of our own don’t you know
That when we go to sleep at night
And put our worries out of sight
They’re waiting there to greet us when it’s light
So baby don’t come crawling around
Don’t lose your pride
When your world comes tumbling down again
Baby don’t come begging to me
Stay dignified
When your world comes tumbling beside you
We’ve all got problems we could share can’t you see
That what will be will always be
The same for you and me
It’s only us can set our spirits free
Baby don’t come crying to me
Spare me your tears
When your world comes tumbling down again
Baby don’t pretend that it’s good
Don’t just ignore
When your world comes tumbling down before you

You say you want it to be
Just how it used to be
Well baby you know I’ve changed
‘Cos I’m not half as sweet
As when I knocked you off your feet
Yeah baby it’s just not the same
Yesterday’s behind us
A new day has begun
So when all is said and done
Baby I’m not the one
It’s so hard to imagine
Just how close you and I once were
Looking back it feels as if
Someone else is standing here
Too much water flowing under our bridge since those days
Now we’re different people with different ways

Back In A Heartbeat
03:21
|
|||
|
I was the girl on the subway
You were looking my way
Glancing at me sideways
Trying to catch my eye I was the girl in the coffee shop
Latte with a double shot
Wonder how I got so shy
To let you pass by
Would it be so different
If I went Back to the heartbeat
Of that single moment
Maybe I’d step aside
Maybe I’d turn away
Maybe I’d run and hide
But you know down deep inside
I’d be back in a heartbeat I was the girl on the park bench
The one beside the picket fence
Talking with some old friends
When you walked by I was the girl with the magazine
Standing by the news screen
Lost inside a daydream
When you said Hi
I let you pass by

One More Day
04:57
|
|||
|
I never thought that time could move so slowly
I never knew that I could miss so bad
I never thought that I could be so lonely
Oh it’s the saddest time I’ve had
I never thought that I would ever love you
I never dreamed that I would need you here
I never thought that I would have to hold on
Fighting back against the tears
One more day and one more night
One long emptiness in sight
Once more darkness, no more light
One more day and one more night
I never thought that love could move a mountain
I never knew my heart could beat so fast
I never thought that there’d be any question
Of a love that couldn’t last
I never thought that life could be so empty
I never dreamed that I would be alone
I never thought that if you ever left me
Oh darling that you’d never come back home

Didn't Treat You Bad
03:48
|
|||
|
I learned something new today
‘Bout why my first love walked away
I always thought that it was
Something that I’d said
To make you turn around
And cut me dead
Didn’t treat you bad
Didn’t treat you good as I should have
Didn’t treat you bad
I did all that I could and I
can’t see why
You’d need to say goodbye
When you know that I
Didn’t treat you bad
I’ve been told you never cared
About those extra special moments that we shared
I always thought it may be
Something I had done
To make you change your mind
And want to run
I guess your expectations
May have been too high
But you had no hesitation
When you said goodbye

If He Only Knew
05:24
|
|||
|
I can’t relax I feel so tense
It’s seems that I have lost all my self confidence
What’s that noise ?
Is that his key in the door?
It’s just my imagination
I’ve heard it all before
I need you here it feels so right
It’s hard to be your lover by day
And be his wife by night
I’ve gotta come clean with him
Tell him what it means with you
I’ve gotta come clean with him
Tell him what I’ve been going through
I can't lie anymore,
I can't cry anymore
I'm gonna die inside
if I have to try anymore
Then like a bolt from the blue
I'll have to tell him it's true
That I love you, yes I love you
But if he only knew
The pleasure’s good but I feel the pain
The face in the mirror won’t lie to me
I can see the strain
He talks to me, I never hear
And every single thing he does gets on my nerves
I need you so, why should it end?
I’ve gotta let him know you’re my lover
And not a friend

Always Talking About You
03:11
|
|||
|
It's in my DNA
To love you every day
In all the words
I choose to use
When I'm talking about you
Everyone I meet
I tell them just how sweet
Your kisses are to me
So They'll see
I'm always talking about you now
There's never hesitation
To start a conversation
About the things you do
Even if it's true
You never hear me
It's a character trait
A more than permanent state
Is where I'm at
And it's a fact, that when I chat
I'm always talking about you
Anyone I see
Could never disagree in any way
At whatever I say
I'm always talking about you now

Everybody One By One
04:44
|

|
Everybody’s going somewhere
So can I hitch a ride with you
We can talk about the weather
Maybe have a drink or two
Everybody’s come from nowhere
For their fifteen minutes of fame
There’s no guarantee we’ll stay there
At least we’ll learn to play the game
And we’ll have fun there all the same
Enjoy the journey
Like your life has just begun
Take your chances In whatever way they come
And they will surely come along now
One by one
Everybody’s feeling happy
With their different points of view
We can all stand together
But I’m not the same as you
I don’t do the things you do
And you wouldn’t want me to
Everybody, Everybody, Everybody, Everybody
Everybody join our band
Everybody holding hands
Every boy and every girl
Make a daisy chain around the world
