Coming Up For Air
03:44
|
|||
Don’t you think it’s a crazy situation
when you can’t find yourself despite all the looking
and you’ve gotta getaway, breakaway, escape to somewhere?
When the walls are closing in and there’s no reason why
You just gotta getaway, runaway, get to some clean air
CHORUS
Coming up for air, coming up for air
Let me have some room ‘cos I’m gasping for some air
Coming up for air, coming up for air
Gotta make some room ‘cos I’m coming up for air
Coming up for air, coming up for air
Let me have some room so I can come up for some air
Coming up for air, coming up for air
Gotta make some room ‘cos I’m coming up for air
It’s all too much to bear
’cos we’re living in a world that doesn’t care
Gotta getaway, runaway, escape to somewhere
Drowning in a sea of information gasping for breath,
head is spinning
Gotta getaway, breakaway, get to some clean air
CHORUS
Cars and jets pumping out pollution
there doesn't seem to be any solution
so I gotta getaway, breakaway, escape to somewhere
Maybe an island in the ocean away from the crowds
all the distractions
gotta getaway, runaway, get to some clean air
CHORUS

If You Ain't Got Love
03:47
|

You say that he loves you; it’s not love to me
Just the same old situation, filled with pain and jealousy
It’s a funny love when he treats you like he does
And that’s a shame
CHORUS
Cos if you ain’t got love, you’ve got nothing at all
If you ain’t got love, you’ve got nothing at all
If you ain’t got love, you’ve got nothing at all
If you ain’t got love, you’ve got nothing at all
You make excuses, for the way that he behaves
Justify the games he plays by taking all the blame
But it’s a funny love when he treats you like he does
And that’s a shame
CHORUS

I saw her standing by the door
All alone of that I’m sure
I thought I’d risk it take a chance
Walk on over ask her to dance
CHORUS
But she closed her eyes and breathed a heavy sigh
Said man’s heart is made of wood
If I took you by the hand
Would it end up being no good?
I tried to say we’re not all the same
But she dismissed me with a wave
I said I’d like to try and make you laugh
She said you already have don’t you know that I watched you dance?
CHORUS
I said I’m not the fortune telling kind
But I know love is hard to find
Sometimes you have to hide your pain away
Pick up the pieces start to love again
CHORUS (x2)

No Questions Asked
04:52
|
|||
She came to me in the silence of the night
Caressed my lips with her fingertips
Naked she climbed into my bed
I willingly followed where she led
CHORUS
No guilt, no secrets, no hidden past
It’s just a story of lust no questions asked
A memory of innocence long since gone
It’s just a story of lust no questions asked, no questions
Morning came but with the darkness she had gone
The pillows wear the mem’ry of her perfume
Twisted sheets lay where they fell
Their own story they can tell
CHORUS
I recall her face like a photograph
The swell of her breast as we entwined
Idle talk as the night-time fled
In each others arms the passion spent
CHORUS

Halcyon Days
04:15
|
|||
Do you remember the summers, when the sun always shone?
Do you ever wonder, where those days have gone?
We used to sit by the river, in the shade of the trees
Holding hands we’d talk of the future
and what we were going to be
In those halcyon days
Do you remember the games that we used to play?
You were a princess and I was your willing slave
We had adventures until the sun fell from the sky
Never had a worry ‘cos we knew who was on our side
In those halcyon days
But the years slipped by
We all grew up – Drifted apart
Knew it could never be the same again
Looking back it’s like a photograph etched on the mind
Oh! And I remember our first fleeting kiss
Was in those halcyon days
Do you remember the summers, when the sun always shone?
Do you sometimes wonder, where those days have gone?
The future seemed distant, so far away
Now the future’s here but I can still remember
Those halcyon days, oh those halcyon days

I see you sitting there - so near but out of reach
We know the rules - to the games we play
We mustn't touch - we mustn't kiss 'n' tell
Silent messages - with our eyes we send
CHORUS
I never meant for this to happen
I never meant to fall in love
I knew it from the very first time
If I gave my heart it wouldn't be enough
We keep locked away - passions burning
Go our separate ways - so no-one knows
That what you feel for me - is what I feel for you
Against the surging tide - we have to swim
CHORUS
Darkest secrets - we have to hide away
We must not show the world - too much love
And now we're sitting here - so near but out of reach
Confined by the rules - to this game we play
CHORUS
