Mr Brown

Mr Brown came to town, tried to work for a bank
Recruited and suited he rose through the ranks
Now he’s earning plenty and he’s only in his twenties

Educated and rated, he’s bound to go far
He’s right on his game and he’s playing to par
It’s getting hard to bear him, he’s becoming overbearing

Stay, stay away from me, you know that you wanted to
Stay, stay away from me, you know that you wanted to

Expensive, offensive, he’s loud and he’s proud
Flashing his cash, he stands out from the crowd
Ooh he’s earning plenty and he’s only in his twenties

Intrusive, abusive, just listen to him
A big fat cat mad of self discipline
It’s getting hard to bear him, he’s becoming overbearing

Stay, stay away from me, you know that you wanted to
Stay, stay away from me, you know that you wanted to

I know he’s trying to control, he can stay in his own little world



This is who we are

It’s funny how it doesn’t hurt, I wonder if my senses work
But this was meant to be, unexpectedly
This is who we are

I never would have made the call, it was written on the wall
This is for the best, who could have guessed
This is who we are


But I’ve seen it all before, you would have thought I’d learn
I would hide the evidence, acting in self defence
If I could, I would, if only I could


Suddenly the truth is out; the proof is there, beyond a doubt
I’m burning in this heat; I’m falling at your feet
This is who we are


But I’ve seen it all before, you would have thought I’d learn
I would give the highest dose of any antidote
If I could, I would, if only I could


It was you

When we met I thought I knew your face
Different situation, different place
Then I tried to leave you when I had to make my way
I couldn’t walk away

When you said it, I knew what you meant
Common ground has meaning, common sense
Then I wondered how long I had known you without trying
I never even tried


I knew it was you, but I hadn’t thought it through
Tell me where you’re coming from, have you been there all along
I knew it was you, but I hadn’t thought it through
Tell me where you’re coming from, have you been there all along


What we do from now is up to you
Funny how it doesn’t seem that new
Now I’ve found you, I can keep you here where you belong
We never will go wrong


I knew it was you, but I hadn’t thought it through
Tell me where you’re coming from, have you been there all along
I knew it was you, but I hadn’t thought it through
Tell me where you’re coming from, have you been there all along

I knew it was you, it was you
Tell me where you’re coming from, have you been there all along



Reflection

She knew what she wanted, she believed in herself and she had to keep moving
She was just another ordinary girl
And when she found it, she couldn’t believe, she couldn’t believe it
She was just an ordinary girl


She’s try her luck, she’d try so much
She always feels lost when she’s alone, ‘cos it’s such a long way home
She’d shout if she thought someone could hear, but there’s noone near
There’s noone near


She’s always dreaming, she pictures herself in another world
She’s just another ordinary girl
She caught her reflection, she couldn’t believe, she couldn’t believe it
She was just an ordinary girl


She’s try her luck, she’d try so much
She always feels lost when she’s alone, ‘cos it’s such a long way home
She’d shout if she thought someone could hear, but there’s noone near
There’s noone near


Dadadadadadadum


She always feels lost when she’s alone, ‘cos it’s such a long way home
She’d shout if she thought someone could hear, but there’s noone near
There’s noone near


Snake in the grass

It all started with a couple of cords, turned into a song and you were singing along
You were tapping your feet, in time with the beat; you were ready to jump on board
You told us you were ready to go; we even heard it on the radio


It should have been much greater, 30 seconds later, you were just a snake in the grass
We should have seen it coming, walked away with nothing, now we’re going back to the start
Now we’re going back to the start


All the wasted time was playing on our minds, it was getting us down
It wasn’t give and take, you were a big mistake
It was easier to go it alone
You told us you were ready to go; we even heard it on the radio


It should have been much greater, 30 seconds later, you were just a snake in the grass
We should have seen it coming, walked away with nothing, now we’re going back to the start
Now we’re going back to the start

You told us you were ready to go; we even heard it on the radio

It should have been much greater, ‘cos 30 seconds later, you were just a snake in the grass
We should have seen it coming, walked away with nothing, now we’re going back to the start
Now we’re going back to the start



Stole the Show

I miss you everyday
You stole the show when you said you had to go
Every time I think of you I’m fine
The only way to see you is to turn back time

I wish that you were here
You always said what I was thinking in my head
Every passing day you fade away
Every passing day you slowly fade away

It’s crazy, I should move on
I shouldn’t be holding on
But you’re always there, you stay in my prayers
I’ll always be thinking of you, waiting for you
Thinking of you, waiting for you

I open up my mind
Remembering just feels like suffering
If only I could keep you in my mind
It feels as if I’m running out of time
It feels as if I’m slowly, running out of time

It’s crazy, I should move on
I shouldn’t be holding on
But you’re always there, you stay in my prayers
I’ll always be thinking of you, waiting for you
Thinking of you, waiting for you



Milk and Honey

Close your eyes and cast your mind, let it drift for miles and miles
You’ll be amazed what you can find
Loads of money, milk and honey
All the stress and strife you can leave it behind
Leave it all behind

Well, there must be somewhere out there, somewhere beyond compare, yeah
Where people dance and people smile, once in a while
We’ve just lost the way, amid this world grey
We think too much and we lose touch of what makes a great day
Is somewhere out there

Close your eyes and start to dream, you’re the cat who got the cream
But dreams ain’t all that they might seem
Loads of money, milk and honey
Well that ain’t real, it’s not a deal, it’s only a dream
Yeah it’s only a dream

Well, there must be somewhere out there, somewhere beyond compare, yeah
Where people dance and people smile, once in a while
We’ve just lost the way, amid this world grey
We think too much and we lose touch of what makes a great day
Is somewhere out there

Well you’ve worked hard; it’s time to have your fun
You can do things that you’ve never done. The race of your life is not yet run

Well, there must be somewhere out there, somewhere beyond compare, yeah
Where people dance and people smile, once in a while
We’ve just lost the way, amid this world grey
We think too much and we lose touch of what makes a great day
Is somewhere out there



A Surprise

This is unexpected, strange I should see you after all this time
Say what you up to?
Tell me how you’re doing; still working late 7 days a week, in a job you hate?
Do you remember the crew, and me and you, and that twist of fate?

I never got to say goodbye, I never got to tell you why
You looked at me smiling, your smile was so beguiling
But I had to go and never let you know why

You’re looking really well; is there someone who is making you laugh the way we used to?
Do you want to have a drink or do you still hate me?
Would you rather I go and let you be?
Won’t you look me up soon, some afternoon, when you’re free

I never got to say goodbye, I never got to tell you why
You looked at me smiling; your smile was so beguiling
But I had to go and never let you know why

Before you go, let me tell you why
I can’t let you go before I say goodbye
I failed at that before, but now I have one more chance to say I’ve loved you everyday
Steal a kiss

You put your hands on me, when you think that noone can see
I put my arms round you, and whisper what it is that I want to do
Well we’re both involved with others and don’t want to make a scene

We know we shouldn’t but it’s much too strong
We know we shouldn’t but we still play along
It won’t be long before suspicion grows and they all know I crave you so
You’re only supposed to have eyes for one man,
You’re only supposed to, but who the hell can
Well that’s a theory dismissed, so let’s steal a kiss

Well it’s a physical thing, and girl you make parts of me want to sing
And now there’s feelings too, well our friends will get the clue
‘Cos we know that they’re all watching, waiting for a sign

We know we shouldn’t but it’s much too strong
We know we shouldn’t but we still play along
It won’t be long before suspicion grows and they all know I crave you so
You’re only supposed to have eyes for one man,
You’re only supposed to, but who the hell can
Well that’s a theory dismissed, so let’s steal a kiss

It doesn’t mean I want to replace the love that I have, ‘cos she’s the love of my life
You know the score but you still insist you can’t resist me, despite the trouble and strife
And I admit that I’m really kind of mad about you, and yeah I love you too

Well I’m in love with 2 women at the same time
People say it’s wrong but I think its fine
I can’t help this physical attraction, ‘cos I’m getting double the satisfaction

(Repeat)


My song

Got to stop the worrying, I’m always hurrying the moment
Now you say you’re leaving
Why don’t you stay, maybe you could leave me another day?
Well is there no way that I can change your mind?
Well did you know that it’s me that’s leaving you behind?

With the song, just to say goodbye
So long, I never even loved you that long
So why does it hurt when you were gone? Long gone

Got to stop the pining, there’s a silver lining around the bend
Well it takes some finding
And it might take some time, but you’ll get over me and you’ll be fine
Yeah, that’s just a line
Well am I convincing you? Or do you see, see straight through…

My song, just to say goodbye
So long, I never even loved you that long
So why does it hurt when you were gone? Long gone

Don’t you think we’re worth another try?
Look for the reasons why?
Well it was never my style to chase
That’s why you see, my see-through brave face

Well, my song, why does it hurt when you were gone

My song, just to say goodbye
So long, I never even loved you that long
So why does it hurt when you were gone? Long gone
(Repeat…)



Charming

I recall the day I met you, and we started our affair
Like some romantic movie, we became the perfect pair
In those early days, in so many ways
I wondered what it was that made you fall for me

You found me charming, you found my voice calming
Your heart beat so you found it alarming
You started caring what you were wearing
Our time was beyond all comparing
You said I had a hold on you
My love was a hole you were falling through
Yeah in the early days I was faring pretty well

But years passed by and things just changed
I confused priorities
A spoilt brat with cold feet
I forgot just what I had, and I acted hard to please

I was no longer charming, no longer
Your heart was sad you found it alarming
You stopped caring what you were wearing
And other men started comparing
I lost any hold on you
Regret was a hole I was falling through
Yeah I was no longer faring very well

But I’ll try to make it better, I changed once, I can change again
I so don’t want to lose you; I’ll stop the hurt and make amends

I’ll try to be charming, swear to be calming
I’ll make your heart beat so you it’s alarming
Show I’m caring what you were wearing
The slight of you is beyond comparing
I’ll hold tightly onto you
Together the holes we’ll jump right through
As long as I have you I’m faring pretty well

I’ll hold tightly onto you
Together the holes we’ll jump right through
As long as I have you I’m faring very well


I’ll be charming
 

Don’t go changing

Somebody told me you crossed the line, but nobody’s perfect all of the time
So don’t go changing from within, don’t go changing anything

Whenever you rise, whenever you fall
Whenever you think you’ve got it all
Would it be taking things too far, for us to stay just as we are
You’re all I want, you’re all I need, you’re always where I want to be
So don’t go changing

I’m always receiving good advice, telling me what I should sacrifice
But I don’t really give a damn, don’t wanna be a better man

Whenever you rise, whenever you fall
Whenever you think you’ve got it all
Would it be taking things too far, for us to stay just as we are
You’re all I want, you’re all I need, you’re always where I want to be
So don’t go changing

So let it out and let it be and see how easy it could be
And we can grow and get to know where we will go

You’re all I want, you’re all I need
You’re all I want, you’re all I need, you’re always where I want to be
Repeat…
So don’t go changing

Whenever you rise, whenever you fall
Whenever you think you’ve got it all
Would it be taking things too far, for us to stay just as we are
You’re all I want, you’re all I need, you’re always where I want to be
So don’t go changing


Stick around

I’m a miserable kind of guy, I don’t measure friends like wealth
The more people I meet, the more I like myself
But then I’m proved wrong, when someone comes along

It doesn’t have to be a love thing, you don’t have to share everything
Somedays you meet someone and click,
You get on so well you hope they stick around, stick around

I’m quite objective and I’m selective about choosing my friends
But when they find me, if they don’t mind me, I’ll be their friend ‘til the end
‘Cos when someone comes along, you wanna sing this song

It doesn’t have to be a love thing, you don’t have to share everything
Somedays you meet someone and click,
You get on so well you hope they stick around, stick around

You like the same folks, enjoy the same jokes
And you see eye to eye
Enjoy wind-up; help make your mind up
And never want to say goodbye

It doesn’t have to be a love thing, you don’t have to share everything
Somedays you meet someone and click,
You get on so well you hope they stick around, stick around

Finally found someone I like, to pick me up when I hit the ground
Find found someone to call, someone I like, like to be around

It doesn’t have to be a love thing, you don’t have to share everything
Somedays you meet someone and click,
You get on so well you hope they stick around, stick around



Taboo

Suddenly, I thought of you
I don’t know why, but I often do, I often do
A secret thought, I don’t know when
It’ll come along, every now and then, no telling when

A secret sign, a secret line
Like one of your smiles in the style of affection
Is your sign, just in my mind?
Maybe we don’t and we won’t, make that connection

Suddenly, I thought of you
I don’t know why, but I often do, I often do
To hold it back, when it comes along
It feels as if I’m doing wrong

A secret sign, a secret line
Like one of your smiles in the style of affection
Is your sign, just in my mind?
Maybe we don’t and we won’t, make that connection

Loving you lonely, it’s reality, it’s reality
When I’m loving you lonely, are you thinking of me?
Loving you lonely, it’s reality, it’s reality
When I’m loving you lonely, are you thinking of me?

A secret sign, a secret line
Like one of your smiles in the style of affection
Is your sign, just in my mind?
Maybe we don’t and we won’t, make that connection
(Repeat…)

Suddenly, I thought of you
I don’t know why, but I often do, I often do



Selfish

I never, ever learnt to share; you should blame my mum and dad
And if someone had something I want
Well I’d just kick up a storm and ran and rave
‘Til I drove everybody mad, yeah then I’d be glad

Say that applied, when someone wanted something that was mine o’mine
Well I had the feeling that’s what mine is mine and there’s no stepping across the line
And you are mine and will be for all time

Oh I’m getting selfish over you
Yeah noone else will ever do
And I will give you all you want and you know
That you’ll never get that from someone new

I know that I’m not being cool; I’m possessive and over protective
And I guess I’m just obsessed with you
And I get jealous of all those guys who spend the day with you when I’m away
So far away
They get to see you and all I do is wish that I could see you too
Do they know how lucky they are to spend one minute of their life with you
Well you are mine and will be for all time

Oh I’m getting selfish over you
Yeah noone else will ever do
And I will give you all you want and you know
That you’ll never get that from someone new

I remember when we met, that’s a day I won’t forget
You looked into my eyes, as am I who what went wise??
And every time we meet it will end in the most delicious kiss
And then we’d say, we should stop meeting like this
And every time we meet it will end in the most delicious kiss
And then we’d say, we should stop meeting like this
(Repeat…)



Ordinary happiness

The ordinary life, the normal people, unattractive wife
The same old gatherings, in boring places, doing boring things

Well that’s the way I like it; that’s the way it is
When I look around and try to make sense of it
I see ordinary happiness

None of us is special, but everybody is
No kings or queens but everyone’s a prince
You know me well and you can tell
I won’t go to heaven, and won’t go to hell
I’ll stay right here, right here where I belong

The solo monotone: I sing my song and I sing it on my own
I’m a one man metronome; I keep the beat in time but all alone

Well that’s the way I like it; that’s the way it is
When rack my mind and try to find the meaning
I find ordinary happiness

None of us is special, but everybody is
No kings or queens but everyone’s a prince
You know me well and you can tell
I won’t go to heaven, and won’t go to hell
Stay right here, right here where I belong

Here’s when I come from, here’s where I’m staying
Here’s where I lay my bed
Here’s when I come from, here’s where I’m staying
Here’s where I’ll end up dead

I don’t believe I’m special; don’t think I need to be
I’m not someone but at least I know I’m me


Memory

Some times we might forget, sometimes we block things out
Thoughts and words, they’re what life’s about
So if you want to keep it real

Take the memories and the moments and lock up tight somewhere inside
Then the memories and the moments will never, ever subside

Well I remember your face, your touching warm embrace
When you can’t have them any more
Well that’s what a memory’s for

Take the memories and the moments and lock up tight somewhere inside
And the memories and the moments will never, ever subside

Take the memories and the moments will never subside



Floozy

She can only be described as nothing less than mischievous and maybe even promiscuous
She uses men like they’re a toy
You may think that you are a man, but she’ll make you feel like a boy

Not exactly saving her kisses
A string of hits and loads of near misses

She lives her life from day to day
Nothing gets in her way
She says she can’t be won
Her heart can’t be undone

She finds the thought of settling down pretty far from fabulous and maybe even ridiculous
‘Cos she’s not the marrying kind
She doesn’t want a quiet night it, she’s got something else on her mind

Not exactly saving her kisses
A string of hits and loads of near misses

She lives her life from day to day
Nothing gets in her way
She says she can’t be won
Her heart can’t be undone

But she change her tone when she’s all alone, with noone to love
No more waiting, I’ll be celebrating
‘Cos I’ve been counting the days, ‘til you change your ways

‘Cos she lives her life from day to day
Nothing gets in her way
She says she can’t be won
But trying will be fun
(Repeat…)


Angel

Angel, are you what you seem or a dream
Must be, asleep
Angel, from the stratosphere you appear
You’re near, yeah you’re here

I breathe in you, believe in you
Need to know just what I should do, just to love you

Yeah and what to do, if you say we’re through
I hope to God that I’ll know what to do, when I lose you

You seem to shimmer white, an incandescent light
There cannot be a brighter star
Where do you come from?
Do you and I belong?
Or have I got it wrong again?

Angel, I knew someday you’d vanish away
I pray, oh please stay
I breathed in you, believed in you
I didn’t know just what I should do, so I just loved you, oh I loved you

And right on cue, you’re out of view
I pray to God that I’ll know what to do; now I’ve lost you

Angel, are you what you seemed or a dream
Must be asleep



In the morning

Put down the phone, and hold me one more time; I haven’t gone yet
Tale off your shoes and kiss me one more time
Kisses you’ll no longer get

Cos I won’t see you, I won’t be near you for such a long long time
So won’t you love me; hold me; tell me: you’re mine

Well don’t go to sleep, you seem to be in such a hurry for me to go away
Don’t turn your back, I know deep down you worry
You’ll miss me every day

But I won’t see you, I won’t be near you for such a long time
So won’t you love me; hold me; tell me: you’re mine

You say that you don’t mind – don’t believe the words you tell me
Cruel to be kind – don’t believe you want to be free
You say you need a break – you love me like I love you always
Our relationship’s a fake

You think that I’m a friend – I don’t believe you want me to go
You think we’re at an end - I don’t believe you want me to know
And that you always will - You love me and I love you

There’s nothing I can do, I just know that it’s true

But I respect your wishes, I will stop the kisses
I’ll make this break the biggest mistake of your life

But that’s in the morning… I’m still here with you for a little while longer
I hope in the morning you’re gonna look at me
And feel a little bit stronger

Cos I want to see you and I want to be near you until the end of time
So won’t you love me; hold me; tell me: you’re mine

Won’t you hold me; love me; tell me: you’re mine



What have I done?

Running out of things to do, looking like I am through
You’ve gone away, feels like any other day
I’m letting go of you

Looking back all along, we were just holding on
Forever young, we could have been forever young
What have we done?

One wrong move, made in haste
I know exactly how it feels
I know exactly what it means
What have I done to you?
You are the one that I need

When you think of what you’ve lost, you may think you’re better off
You’ve gone away, feels like any other day
I’m letting go of you

One wrong move, made in haste
I know exactly how it feels
I know exactly what it means
What have I done to you?
You are the one that I need

When I needed you, when I needed you
I’d be looking round and round
When I needed you, when I needed you
Could have been forever young


Tick Tock (Mr Right)

More rejection, more dispass
You may as well say, kiss my…
But I see something in your eye
A look your words belie

Cos I’ve been waiting a long, long time
I’ve been waiting to call you mine
And I will wait ‘til the end of time
If that will make you mine

A line of suitors at your beck and calls
And every one you just kick in the…
I guess you want some shining knight
That’s me, I’m Mr Right

Cos I’ve been waiting a long, long time
I’ve been waiting to call you mine
And I will wait ‘til the end of time
If that will make you mine

I’m told timing is everything
I’m told you like a man who can sing
So I wrote this song for you
Now tell me how did I do?

Cos I’ve been waiting a long long time
I’ve been waiting to call you mine
And I will wait ‘til the end of time
If that will make you mine
(Repeat)


Top of the pops

Whenever I think of what I’ll miss, you’re always the first one on my list
I’m feeling so tired to be alone, I’m feeling so tired to my bones

You pull out all of my stops, you’re top of the pops
You occupy my mind
You’re the reason I’m sane, the blood in my veins
I think of you all the time

Every day, it’s harder to stay here without you
I’ll be coming home to you, I’ll be coming home soon
I’ll be coming home to you, I’ll be coming home soon



Little things

When you feel life… is playing a joke on you
And you feel like… the world is ganging up on you
Don’t let it get you down, don’t let it make you frown
Don’t let it get you down

Taking it on the chin, it’s not that bad
Putting on a grin; don’t make it sad
It will all work out; just wait and see
What’s the fuss about; you’re trouble free

When it rains on you… how come it always pours
To make the sun shine… you’ve got to open all the doors
Don’t let it get you down, don’t let it make you frown
Don’t let it get you down

Taking it on the chin, it’s not that bad
Putting on a grin; don’t make it sad
It will all work out; just wait and see
What’s the fuss about; you’re trouble free

(Instrumental)

I know you think it stings, but it’s the little things
It’s just the little things

You can make it right; believe you can
By putting up a fight; if you understand
Wipe away those tears; just show your style
Wash away those fears; do it with a smile

Taking it on the chin, it’s not that bad
Putting on a grin; don’t make it sad
It will all work out; just wait and see
What’s the fuss about; you’re trouble free
(Repeat)


Next time

All the love and kisses, in the world are what you deserve
Cos you deserve the best, and nothing less
Yeah you need something more
And I hadn’t made you smile, in a while

Well I tried, and I cried
But the circumstances beat us and the end has come to meet us
Well we shone, now you’re gone
Promise in your next life, promise that next time you’ll wait for me

I feel so lucky to have found you
My perfect love, sent from above to me
But from now on, someone else’s arms will keep you safe from harm
Instead of mine

Well I tried, and I cried
But the circumstances beat us and the end has come to meet us
Well we shone, now you’re gone
Promise in your next life, promise that next time you’ll wait for me

I hope there’s not a bitter taste, cos that would make our love a waste
Next to you will always be, where I really want to be

I’ll always miss you and I’ll always love you
But the circumstances beat us and the end has come to meet us
So thanks for the moments, the best of my life
Just promise that next time you’ll wait for me

(Repeat)



Song with no words

If you can’t sleep at night, can’t distinguish wrong from right
When you sense a breakdown soon, you’ve got to hum this simple tune
And I wrote it just for you, I wrote it just for you

Do Do Do….

If you can’t find the way, if can’t think what to say
When you haven’t smiled for days, you better try this simple phrase
And I wrote it just for you, I wrote it just for you

Do Do Do….



What are the words?

Every time, no matter how hard I try
Every time, I’m feeling my mouth run dry
Every time, I see you smile
The words just run a mile
And every time I’m silent and I don’t know why

Don’t you think there’s something we should talk about?
Don’t you think that maybe you could help me out?
So please tell me that

If you knew the words I should tell you, the words that I needed to say
If you knew the words I should tell you, to stop you from going away
If you knew the words I’d have to say, just to make you stay
Well can you please pretend that I’m saying them now?

Every time, I wanna come out but I hide
Every time, everything’s locked inside
Every time, I see you cry
The words just run a mile
And every time I just wanna say that I tried

Don’t you think there’s something we should talk about?
Don’t you think that maybe you could help me out?
So please tell me now

If you knew the words I should tell you, the words that I needed to say
If you knew the words I should tell you, to stop you from going away
If you knew the words I’d have to say, just to make you stay
Well can you please pretend that I’m saying them now?
