Oh! Amanda 03:31
Amanda’s in her bed; feeling kind of strange dreaming of the boy that she saw today Thinks he’s by her side; wrapped up in his arms imagining his touch sends shivers down her spine Oh! Amanda, what would mummy say if she knew what you were thinking, thinking of today Oh! Amanda, what would mummy say if she knew what you were thinking, thinking of today Amanda’s making plans little fantasies inside gonna get her man using feminine wiles Pulling on her dress painting up her face Her reflection in the mirror shows the woman not the child Oh! Amanda, what would mummy say if she knew what you were thinking, thinking of today Oh! Amanda, what would mummy say if she knew what you were thinking, thinking of today Oh! Amanda, what would mummy say if she knew what you were thinking, thinking of today Oh! Amanda, what would mummy say if she knew what you were thinking, thinking of today Amanda’s in her bed; thinking up a way that she can get the boy that she saw today Dreams he’s by her side wrapped up in his arms Imagining his touch sending shivers up her spine Oh! Amanda, what would mummy say if she knew what you were thinking, thinking of today Oh! Amanda, what would mummy say if she knew what you were thinking, thinking of today

Watcha Got? 03:30
I was gonna be playing later on that evening So I sat at the bar nursing one more pint A couple in the corner were in heated conversation And I couldn’t believe it; this is what I heard she said CHORUS “Watcha got to keep me interested?” “Watcha got to keep me satisfied?” “Watcha Got, ‘cos I don’t see much before me?” “Watcha got, go on tell me some more lies.” I was walking through the park to catch a little sunshine Taking a stroll round about the lake When I hear a guy who was talking to his lady And I couldn’t believe it; this is what I heard he said CHORUS I was gonna be playing later on that evening So I sat at the bar nursing one more pint A couple in the corner got in heated conversation And I couldn’t believe it; this is what I heard she said CHORUS

Freedom 04:25
Can’t you see, that they’re playing with your liberty and they call it freedom A subtle erosion, but where will it end? In your own home now their prison cell And they say if you’ve nothing to hide you’ve nothing to fear Fear to them, is the final solution They’re controlling your life and they call it freedom They’re controlling your life and you think you’ve got freedom It’s for your protection ‘cos they received information but they won’t say where from Just part of a plan, formed by grey, nameless faces That answers to no-one And they say if you’ve nothing to hide you’ve nothing to fear Fear to them, is the final solution They’re controlling your life and they call it freedom They’re controlling your life and you think you’ve got freedom They watch you, from every street corner But it’s for your own safety We’re fed half-truths, wrapped up in lies Until we’re blinded by deceit and confusion And they say if you’ve nothing to hide you’ve nothing to fear Fear to them, is the final solution They’re controlling your life and they call it freedom They’re controlling your life and you think you’ve got freedom And they say if you’ve nothing to hide you’ve nothing to fear Oh! They say if you’ve nothing to hide you’ve nothing to fear They’re controlling your life and they call it freedom They’re controlling your life and you think you’ve got freedom

I’m going home; I ain’t been back for far too long I’m going home; I need my bed so I can rest my head I’m going home; been away for far too long I’m going home; find my friends, see what’s going on Is David going out with Julie, or did he never ask? It’s strange to see the way he lets his head rule his heart. And do you still feel the same, the same as when I left when you said you never wanted to see me again? I’m going home; been travelling far too long I’m going home; familiar things are what I need I’m going home; I ain’t been back for far too long I hear it calling, hear it calling me Is David going out with Julie, or did he never ask? It’s strange to see the way he lets his head rule his heart. And do you still feel the same, the same as when I left when you said you never wanted to see me again? I’m going home; I ain’t been back for far too long I’m going home; need my bed to rest my head I’m going home; I’m going home I’m going home; I’m going home

You’re in a crowded room alone You hide the truth it can’t be known The deed is done and now there’s nothing left All the words you wish you hadn’t said You wished you’d kept them in your head It’s too late and now there’s nothing CHORUS You never thought there’d be a price ‘cos loving him it felt so nice And there’s nothing left for you Now you find life’s a bitch Chewed you up – Spat you out And there’s nothing you can do So in your best friend you confide Of little kicks you feel inside She shakes her head and then says nothing He don’t write he doesn’t phone You say his heart is made of stone Forget you’re the one who told him, to go CHORUS You’re in a crowded room alone You hide the truth it can’t be known The deed is done and now there’s nothing left He don’t write he doesn’t phone You say his heart is made of stone Forget you’re the one who told him, to go CHORUS

I saw your face, the face that launched a thousand ships I can taste your lipstick on my lips from your kiss You stole my heart; I stole yours too now there’s nothing that I; that I can do Now it’s fine, fine, fine, it’s clear here in my mind That it’s love, love, love and it just don’t hurt enough Yes it’s fine, fine, fine, it’s clear now in my mind That it’s love, love, love and it just don’t hurt enough, it don’t hurt enough You steal my breath with a fleeting touch And do you know what’s really sad? I can’t get enough I shouldn’t feel; I shouldn’t feel this way Love’s got in my head driving me insane But it’s fine, fine, fine, it’s clear here in my mind That it’s love, love, love and it just don’t hurt enough Yes it’s fine, fine, fine, it’s clear now in my mind That it’s love, love, love and it just don’t hurt enough, it don’t hurt enough Instrumental Break It’s fine, fine, fine, it’s clear here in my mind That it’s love, love, love and it just don’t hurt enough Yes it’s fine, fine, fine, it’s clear now in my mind That it’s love, love, love it just don’t hurt enough ‘cos it’s fine, fine, fine, it’s clear here in my mind That it’s love, love, love and it just don’t hurt enough Yes it’s fine, fine, fine, it’s clear now in my mind That it’s love, love, love but it just don’t hurt enough, it don’t hurt enough

Sometimes the knowing is too much to bear And the pain of a letter leaves no chance of repair All dreams forgotten the past has taken hold Like a shadow to the wall you find your soul has now been sold CHORUS And the fear; is not knowing The questions to the answers Day turns into night And there’s no time for delay Fear is the pain That never fades away Look back to the future Now there’s no time There’s no time No time for delay Watch the teardrops falling, who tells all the lies? Judge and jury sitting say: “No justice here today!” All dreams forgotten how can we explain that it’s only love that causes all this pain? Chorus Barriers are forming, from our conquests of the night What we didn’t know just disappeared from sight Dreams are for dreamers, dreams that never fade Every inch a nightmare in which we were enslaved Chorus

When we kissed it was like the first time And your perfume had me walking on air ooo I swear It didn’t matter if the whole world saw us who cared? We were in love and that’s all we knew And it doesn’t really matter what they all say ‘cos when you fall in love you go slightly insane And it doesn’t really matter come rain or shine We got each other and love is blind Don’t look back, ‘cos the past is buried and gone We found each other but it took, it took so long And the future is ours for the taking it’s there Passion has exploded and now we two are one And it doesn’t really matter what they all say ‘cos when you fall in love you go slightly insane And it doesn’t really matter come rain or shine We got each other and love is blind It don’t get better any better than this Love’s an addiction that you just can’t resist You can’t fight it don’t bother wasting your time It’s an obsession and it makes you lay your heart on the line And it doesn’t really matter what they all say ‘cos when you fall in love you go slightly insane And it doesn’t really matter come rain or shine We got each other and love is blind And it doesn’t really matter what they all say ‘cos when you fall in love you go slightly insane And it doesn’t really matter come rain or shine We got each other and love is blind And it doesn’t really matter what they all say ‘cos when you fall in love you go slightly insane And it doesn’t really matter come rain or shine We got each other and love is blind And it doesn’t really matter, doesn’t really matter at all And it doesn’t really matter, doesn’t really matter at all And it doesn’t really matter now ‘til it’s over and done And it doesn’t really matter now ‘til it’s Over and it’s over and it’s over and done There were tears in the morning and the air was blue With you cursing me and me cursing you The love had turned to anger it was there in our eyes What could we believe when there were so many lies? We never stopped to question where it all went wrong Just took it for granted it was over and done Then you ran back to mummy and you turned on the tears While I drowned my sorrow in the whisky and the beer And it’s a strange fact of life but when it’s over and done You won’t remember the bad times only the fun When the love that we shared has been stripped and laid bare Won’t remember the bad times when it’s over and done BREAK There’s no going back we’re never given the chance And the scars that we wear are tattooed on our hearts We can never return to those halcyon days When we swore sweet devotion would be ours for always There were tears in the morning and the air was blue With you cursing me and me cursing you Then you ran back to mummy and you turned on the tears While I drowned my sorrow in the whisky and the beer And it’s a strange fact of life but when it’s over and done You won’t remember the bad times only the fun When the love that we shared has been stripped and laid bare Won’t remember the bad times when it’s over and done And it’s a strange fact of life but when it’s over and done You won’t remember the bad times only the fun When the love that we shared has been stripped and laid bare Won’t remember the bad times when it’s over and done I never realized but you’re a pain in the arse Does it really matter now it’s over and done? God! There’s the door get your bags take a walk Don’t wanna see your face around here anymore Don’t write me letters and please don’t call There’s nothing left to say ‘cos we’ve said it all Does it really matter now we’ve had our fun? Does it really matter now it’s over and done?

I used to live in a two room apartment Neighbours knockin’ on my wall Times were hard I don’t wanna knock it I don’t wanna go there at all Oh! Yeah, I’m all right I just feel a little lonely tonight I’m OK, most of the time I just feel a little lonely tonight I used to need your love so badly Then I came to live with it No and then I get a faraway feelin’ And the whole thing starts again Oh! Yeah, I’m all right I just feel a little lonely tonight I’m OK, most of the time I just feel a little lonely tonight I used to need your love so badly Then I came to live with it No and then I get a faraway feelin’ And the whole thing starts again Oh! Yeah, I’m all right I just feel a little lonely tonight I’m OK, most of the time I just feel a little lonely tonight Oh! Yeah, I’m all right I just feel a little lonely tonight I’m OK, most of the time I just feel a little lonely tonight

Hitching a ride on the last train home Going somewhere you don’t know Heading for the future all alone The past has gone but still you’ve got to grow Chorus And it’s the day when you wake-up find everything has changed All those days are now forgotten when you lived your life a slave Watching the sunlit flames Dance in the velvet light The howling trees Controlled the diamond night Controlled the diamond night Singing songs of years gone by Reminds you of the tears run dry Now treading water 'til you find the shore A place so safe you really want to explore Chorus Instrumental Break Watching the sunlit flames Dance in the velvet light The howling trees Controlled the diamond night Controlled the diamond night Walking in circles to find the right door A hurricane of pleasure leads you to the core Heading for the future all alone The past has gone but still you’ve got to grow Chorus
