Never do 04:08
Never Do There's a light that's in you emanating through it starts to dim and flicker with things you didn't do So given time and consequence the more you think the less that it makes sense you see the cracks and can't turn back its what you are and not what you lack Everyone's got paitience but everyones in need has hope and understanding died and gone to seed? But anytime any place you feel the breath of air across your face it could be words a whispering what is worse than if you do nothing? So give a little love before its over give a little time before its through never let the world get any colder when there's a lot of love inside of you there's a hidden hope you just got to pull it through but how you gonna know if you never do Everyone's got patience but everyone's in need has hope and understanding died and gone to seed? But anytime any place you feel the breath of air across your face it could be words a whispering what is worse than if you do nothing? Give a little love before it's over give a little time before it's through never let the world get any colder when there's a lot of love inside of you there's a hidden hope you just got to pull it through but how you gonna know? how you gonna know? how you gonna know if you never do?

Elvis 03:33
Elvis Marilyn Monroe gets caught in the snow with a hood who calls himself Beau if I stood in his place I'd hold her sweet face and I'd never let this girl go For ninety minutes he's me if only he's see what I see we could stop this film running cos I know what is coming it all should end so differently Elvis can sing to a pretty little thing whose heart is made out of gold but this kid gets rocked by a show-girl who's stopped and who crushes him with what she's sold For ninety minutes he's me if only he'd see what I see Oh there's just no forgiving to carry on re-living it all should end so differently And it all plays out till it all fades out yeh it all plays out to start again Marlon Brando lets everything go for Stella he's stellar and bold he's driven to stay when he should take her away before the unspoken unfolds For ninety minutes he's me if only he'd see what I see oh it's just so unfair I just wish I was there it all should end so differently And it all plays out till it all fades out Yeh it all plays out to start again Marilyn Monroe gets caught in the snow she's in love with a guy named Beau...

Christine 05:08
Christine So she falls from a great height, from that great high Coming down she purveys all she sees Gathering in every eye and every seed She's everything we'll ever know and ever need Your army's in waiting under your sleeping silhouette And in the fields we keep working We work for you, We work for you We work for you Hang a sign, to have a good life You lead a good life Rising up she's given hope and she's given time Your army's in waiting Under your sleeping silhouette And in the fields we keep working We work for you, We work for you We work for you Oh Christine, What you've seen What you've done, Where you've been It's alright and its ok Its what you are, Its what you are Its what you are that makes us stay Your army's in waiting Under your sleeping silhouette And in the fields we keep working We work for you,We work for you We work for you Oh Christine, What you've seen What you've done, Where you've been It's alright and its ok Its what you are, Its what you are Its what you are that makes us stay

Just Love 03:58
Just Love Lately been lost in this feeling feels like I've passed here before in darkness the night is revealing shines down, finds love after all can't stop this thing that we started high on a roller-coaster ride fireworks that spread through the night sky star-burst exploding inside It's just love after all that takes us from our needs inside faith and hope when we're just too blind to see its just love after all that we feel Like boats that swell on the ocean inspite when in motion is dry captured by moonlight the moment When red castles sweep through the sky It's just love after all that takes us from our needs inside faith and hope When we're just too blind to see its just love after all that we feel its just love after all that we feel Beyond the edge of my darkness it moves and it climbes into space slipped from the shade of the sun when freedom will find its own time and space It's just love after all that takes us from our needs inside faith and hope When we're just too blind to see its just love after all that we feel its just love after all that we feel

HeartStrings 04:43

Strange Birds Sun come in, rays penetrate my skin you sullied my heart frozen and torn apart I can't belive its true there's not a mark on you you must be hurting somewhere, somewhere You can sing, you can sing you can sing but its all a lie cos strange birds never fly My arms open up and my head shakes, enough's enough when your sound fills the air even when its not you I sense you there I can't belive its true there's not a mark on you you must be hurting somewhere, somewhere You can sing, you can sing you can sing but its all a lie cos strange birds never fly Its hard to say if you were the best thing that led me astray you hollowed my dreams when your brown eyes turned to jealous green I cant believe it's true after all the things we've been through that you just keep standing there now you must be hurting somewhere somewhere, Somewhere. You can sing, you can sing you can sing but its all a lie you can sing, you can sing you can sing but its all a lie you can sing, you can sing you can sing you can sing you can sing but its all a lie cos strange birds, strange birds strange birds never fly

No Way Home 04:47
No Way Home So rise the morning,you rise alone tall ships sail in and I'm already home times I've been here I just couldn't count but this time I'd fall for her and be out Your body is ripe when your body is mine two halves are one when two hearts intertwine if there is a love, then there is a way a time to be strong, strong enough to say That there's no way home, Oh that there's no way home Love's not a kindness, love's not a deed roots get torn up when there's hope and there's need we'd up our lives and turn it around we'd settle for hope before settling down When there's no way home, Oh and there's no way home, Oh and there's no way home And the lights on the sea they shine down on me so I open my heart fearlessly there's very few places that I sleep comfortably but with you I could sleep for a day or a month or a year or eternity To start a new life, to start a new plan it doesn't matter you just do what you can like moving to here with the fields and the song wherever you are is wherever you belong When there's no way home, Oh and there's no way home, Oh and there's no way home And the lights on the sea they shine down on me so I open my heart fearlessly there's very few places that I sleep comfortably but with you I could sleep for a day or a month or a year or eternity Someday from now, some may sing this song some with a charm and it'll just move along I have this story cos I have this blood but we all understand cos we all have the love

I Want It Back I want it back, I want it back to where it once was before I want it back I want it to return and to reform a line of cards just to knock them down and take these bits and shards up from off the ground I want it back I want it right like years of long ago I want it back, I want the same of days of old, when I hear your voice calling and I love that feeling of giving something back but forever needing Your heart's unbound barefoot and sober your heart ran wild but now all thats over I want it back, I want the life I used to know now I won't relax until familiar faces show that there's more to love than life When life grows older and there's more to life than loveIf that loves grows colder Your heart's unbound barefoot and sober your heart ran wild but now all thats over but now all thats over but now all thats over And I hear your voice calling and I love that feeling Of giving something back but forever needing Your heart's unbound barefoot and sober your heart ran wild yut now all thats over your heart's unbound barefoot and sober your heart ran wild but now all thats over

Coming Down 04:50
Coming Down I thought I saw you coming down with the sun guessed I must have missed you more than anyone there's a time for us and a place for us its not here and not now and not this way and not anyhow For calling out now oh for crying out loud it gets caught in my throat now so I didn't make a sound I raise a glass to you and I drink to you but the cheer is mumbled and muted and drowned Now I'm coming down from this good love we've found Oh there's bits of the past that I thought I could probably stay and there's bits without love that I never thought I would say so don't give thoses moments away So tired and torn we ran through everything what made us happy we turned into a sin so we're waking up and not making up just faking and breaking this tired situation we're in Now I'm coming down from this good love we've found Oh there's bits of the past that I thought I could probably stay and there's bits without love that I never thought I would say so don't give thoses moments away How could I have known then what I simply know now is you don't get to here when you don't go there somehow Now I'm coming down from this good love we've found Oh there's bits of the past that I thought I should probably stay and there's bits without love that I never thought I would say Oh there's bits of the past that I thought I could probably stay so don't give thoses moments away
