In Our Lifetime
There are things I can't tell you I love you too much to say I stand undressed But I'm not naked You look at me and who I am Understand that it is hard to tell you That I've given all I have to give And I can understand your feelings But then everybody has a life to live Once in a lifetime You have seen what I've seen You will always swim for shore Once in my lifetime I'll never be in between Some things you just can't ignore Now reach out You can touch me I'll let you have my life to share Years, the days And the minutes Yeh time has such a puzzling grace Understand that it is hard to tell you That I've given all I have to give And I can understand your feelings But then everybody has a life to live Once in a lifetime You have seen what I've seen You will always swim for shore Once in my lifetime I'll never be in between Some things you just can't ignore Once in a lifetime You have seen what I've seen You will always swim for shore Once in my lifetime I'll never be in between Some things you just can't ignore I just need to have your love I just can't say no It's a gift from way above I just can't say no It's the one big difference If there's one thing I can have I just can't say no I just can't say no Yeh yeh yeh
Tell Me the Answer
I doesn't feel right The lights are too bright I'm feeling uptight in my sensual world I need to be you I need to breathe too I need to see through life With these sensitive words I could blame it on you I could blame it on my instincts I could blame it on the train to the plane The boat to the shore So tell me what's the answer No trouble in my face There's not one anxious voice You know I can't listen I can't listen You say that you are everything Do you taste good So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon C'mon, c'mon, c'mon No air around me I need to feel free I'm private property In my sensual world No indecisions I have a vision There's no collision there With these sensitive words I could blame it on you I could blame it on my instincts I could blame it on the train to the plane The boat to the shore So tell me what's the answer No trouble in my face There's not one anxious voice You know I can't listen I can't listen You say that you are everything Do you taste good So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Summer Son
I'm tired of telling the story Tired of telling it your way Yeh I know what I saw I know that I found the floor Before you take my heart, reconsider Before you take my heart, reconsider I've opened the door I've opened the door Here comes the summer's son He burns my skin I ache again I'm over you I thought I had a dream to hold Maybe that has gone Your hands reach out and touch me still But this feels so wrong Before you take my heart, reconsider Before you take my heart, reconsider I've opened the door I've opened the door Here comes the summer's son He burns my skin I ache again I'm over you Before you take my heart, reconsider Before you take my heart, reconsider I've opened the door I've opened the door Here comes the summer's son He burns my skin I ache again I'm over you Here comes the winter's rain To cleanse my skin I wake again I'm over you Here comes the summer's son He burns my skin I ache again I'm over you
Sunday Afternoon
I can think of better days As I look into your eyes And I feel that in a way I know that you'll be alright And he walks for a mile It's his style Baby never acts wild Feels he's invencible He walks for a while But I never ask why He needs his time in isolation It's your views On your groove On a Sunday afternoon Paint it slow Then you'll know What you need to work out soon I'm gonna whisper in your ear I've a lot of things to say to you I'll give you all my universe You're all I want and that's for sure And he walks for a mile It's his style Baby never acts wild Feels he's invencible He walks for a while But I never ask why He needs his time in isolation It's your views On your groove On a Sunday afternoon Paint it slow Then you'll know What you need to work out soon It's your views On your groove On a Sunday afternoon Paint it slow Then you'll know What you need to work out soon In your darkest hour Take my hand and I'll show you Understand it much better I'll make sure you get there It's your views On your groove On a Sunday afternoon Paint it slow Then you'll know What you need to work out soon
Move In
Move in, move in Move in, watch me move in Invite me to a party Hang some colour on the walls It makes me feel like eighteen I'm gonna change things for us all Sooner or later the music goes I see a trace of sweat on your face Move in, move in Remember now the times we had Move in, watch me move in Remember now the times we had Our world's turned round but that's okay Yet, things still look the same People dancing so much Keep it pushing come what may Sooner or later the music goes I see a trace of sweat on your face Move in, move in Remember now the times we had Move in, watch me move in Remember now the times we had I see the lights are low now But still the faces glow A year that's full of zeros Yet who knows what that holds Sooner or later the music goes I see a trace of sweat on your face Move in, move in Remember now the times we had Move in, watch me move in Remember now the times we had
When We Are Together
Oh, I remember you said can I fight and breathe So now I always, always hold my breath you see You're my heaven, you're my spaceman in your shiny shiny suit I'll send up all my prayers and hope they're understood Love started making sense I always make mistakes at my expense Love has placed a seed And you're the sun that shines down upon me Yeh when we are together And when we are apart There is no space in our hearts I've got these feelings It's been too long since I've tried to take the time So now I'm fallin', fallin' into the sublime When you brush against a stranger And you both apologise And when you see there's something you recognise Love started making sense I always make mistakes at my expense Love has placed a seed And you're the sun that shines down upon me Yeh when we are together And when we are apart There is no space in our hearts I've got these feelings Yeh when we are together And when we are apart There is no space in our hearts I've got these feelings
Day After Day
There are times when I see you There are times when I'm mad When I wake you disappear That's what I always find so hard One day I'll have to face the truth I will I know I'll find it hard to wake up And say these words to you So did the days drag on for you Was I gone for too long There's something changing in me I've got to show it Got to show you Cause day after day without you I find that there's no one to turn to All this madness that I've found I'm so thankful when you're around It's true, yes I do In every place I'll face a world Of strangers We'll talk and laugh about the good times We had together So did the days drag on for you Was I gone for too long There's something changing in me I've got to show it Got to show you Cause day after day without you I find that there's no one to turn to All this madness that I've found I'm so thankful when you're around
Saint
I'm taking my time I'll fix it, don't worry now I'm needing you there Make sure that you're coming too All of my life Is all I'll give you here The meaning of me Is something to pursue You think I'm a saint It's in your pretty head Stretched out like a saint now I love you to death Catch another dream now We can find them somehow I know that there's a boy inside the man Catch another dream now Take all we are allowed For I know that there's a man inside the boy Grown ups don't know How to dream anymore Their heads in the sand And they choose to ignore it all All of my life Is all I'll give you here The meaning of me Is something to pursue You think I'm a saint It's in your pretty head Stretched out like a saint now I love you to death Catch another dream now We can find them somehow I know that there's a boy inside the man Catch another dream now Take all we are allowed For I know that there's a man inside the boy You think I'm a saint It's in your pretty head Stretched out like a saint now I love you to death Catch another dream now We can find them somehow I know that there's a boy inside the man Catch another dream now Take all we are allowed For I know that there's a man inside the boy
Girl
All the money's on your hip now Need to take another trip down Protect all mothers for they lay in the path I can deal with the lovers Always dealt with dreams But I've never known what reality means Cause you're the sweetest thing I've waited for I feel so good about you You are always on my lookout Sing what you are all about Just think, you've got the power Girl, you've got the power Lay me down to the right side Tie me up till it feels fine You know the uses and you've no compromise Put it down with the two time I always know when it feels right I will if you will, I'm just taking my time Cause you're the sweetest thing I've waited for I feel so good about you You are always on my lookout Sing what you are all about Just think, you've got the power Girl, you've got the power Cause you're the sweetest thing I've waited for I feel so good about you
The Hush
I'm a long long way from yesterday And with time my ideals change I want to spend all of my time The way that it should be spent Road maps here of 20 towns Flights a faithless place I eat another Milk Bar down Yawn and wash my face You know you're nervous when you see me sway Too much time by yourself You know you always seem to back away Don't hide within yourself There's a certain hill I want to climb Like tar bubbles on the path When they all pop up in summertime Forever my climb will last Road maps here of 20 towns Flights a faithless place I eat another Milk Bar down Yawn and wash my face You know you're nervous when you see me sway Too much time by yourself You know you always seem to back away Don't hide within yourself Hush hush shhh Hush hush shhh Hush hush shhh Hush hush shhh You know you're nervous when you see me sway Too much time by yourself You know you always seem to back away Don't hide within yourself
The Day Before I Went Away
I tried to tell you that on Monday The day before I went away I was always there when you were coming down I had to take some time Take some time You know I'm needing you for so much pleasure I'm always wanting you to take me there I need to be the one to tell you that you're on the right road And how some time alone is only fair You know I'm renowned And feel it's a lonely time I've had But it never felt that bad I tried to tell you that on Monday The day before I went away I was always there when you were coming down You never took the time Took the time I wish you'd known me when I was much younger As I closed my eyes upon the world But now an open mind which seems much stronger A perfect doubting of your every word You know I'm renowned And feel it's a lonely time I've had But it never felt that bad I tried to tell you that on Monday The day before I went away I was always there when you were coming down You never took the time Took the time C'mon c'mon C'mon c'mon C'mon c'mon C'mon c'mon You know I'm renowned For the lonely time I've had But it never felt that bad I tried to tell you that on Monday The day before I went away I was always there when you were coming down You never took the time Took the time
