Bad Blood
BAD BLOOD Desperate man, desperate times Desperate heart Once she was mine Bad blood, cold sweat The more I give, the less I get She picked clean to the bone Black ice, danger zone Bad blood runs through her veins She’s got bad blood She’ll never change I held on long as I could But that girl - bad blood Perfect crimes, no clues That girl’s just bad news I held on long as I could Bad girl, bad blood She cut clean to the bone Tight jeans, danger zone Girl’s got bad blood ... Glass heart, fools gold Her blood is stone cold Held on long as I could But that girl’s just no good She picked clean to the bone Black ice, danger zone
Lost One Love
LOST ONE LOVE She’s lost in the night She’s out of my sight Gotta find her again She’s out of my life Gotta find her again Will I ever see the daylight Will I ever see the sun Will I ever know the reason Like a shadow she’s gone She’s lost in the night Out of my sight Will I find her again Taken my life Have to find her again Will I ever see the daylight Will I ever see the dawn How can I ever find her She’s just a shadow Missing person I don’t know where she’s gone Lost one love, last seen somewhere Walkin’ away from the light Lost one love, somewhere last seen Walkin’ into the night, she’s gone Will I ever see the daylight Will I ever see the sun Can I ever know the reason Like a shadow, missing person I don’t know where she’s gone Lost one love, last seen somewhere Walkin’ away from the light Lost one love, somewhere last seen Walkin’ into the night She’s lost in the night And I don’t the reason Will I find her again She’s out of my sight But I can’t lose this feeling Will I find her again
Angel
Can't go to sleep without you Starring in my dreams I can't get you out of my head I close my eyes, you’re always there I lock the door But you’re comin' up the stairs Can't stay awake I know I have to try What will it take to stop you Walking in my sleep How can I break The hold you have on me Angel will you never Ever set me free Oh angel, I can't stop you Dancing on my bed You're an angel and I can’t get you out of my head Angel, I can't stop you Walking in my sleep You're an angel and I can't Stop you starring in my dreams How come you're givin' me These technicolour dreams How can I get you out of my head I close my eyes, you're always there How can I get you out of my bed I lie awake, all I see is you I'm going crazy, what can I do Switch off the light Then you start to call I lock the door Now you're coming through the wall Angel, I can't stop you Dancing on my bed You're an angel and I can't get you out of my head Sweet angel, I can't stop you Walking in my sleep You're an angel and I can't Stop you starring in my dreams I can't stay awake much longer This feeling's getting stronger You must be an angel 'Cause I can't stop you Dancing on my bed You're an angel and I can't get you out of my head Angel, I can't stop you Walking in my sleep You're an angel and I can't Stop you starring in my dreams Sweet angel, I can't stop you Dancing on my bed You're an angel and I can't get you out of my head Angel, I can't stop you Walking in my sleep You’re an angel and I can't Stop you starring in my dreams Sweet little angel eyes You're angle, angel Sweet little angel ...
Holding On
HOLDING ON Lost, lost like a precious flame The ashes burn on The ghost of a love we had Tries to hold on, tries to hold on No communication All systems are down No new conversation Never a sound, never a sound What’s the point in holdin’ on When the spirit is gone, holdin’ on What’s the point in holdin’ on When the spirit is gone Cold, cold as the empty night Deep in your eyes I know there’s no truth, no light Only your lies, only your lies The circle’s broken The damage is done The crystal lies Smashed on the floor Your presence has left me now Your spirit has gone The ghost of a love we had Tries to hold on, tries to hold on The circle’s broken The damage is done So what’s the point in holdin’ on

Night of the Wolf
(Goalby — Sinclair — Bolder — Kerslake — Box)
Streets are full of rain Lightning cracks the sky Hear a lonely cry, eyes full of pain Searchin’ in the darkness Eyes pierce the night Calling for her young one As she walks towards the light It’s the night of the wolf Hear the cry of the wolf Streets paved with cold Night gives out a warning There’s thunder in her heart And mother wolf is calling Searchin’ in the shadows For the one she must save She cries out a prayer Like a song from beyond the grave The bells will toll No one will sleep tonight While she alone will Walk the streets tonight Sun begins to rise All the streets washed with rain Still hear her cries Eyes burnt with pain Returning to the twilight Betrayed by the night Screaming for her young one As she walks towards the light
