IN YOUR HEAD
I hope it's in your head
All the words I said
And what it means to me
If you don't agree
Well then it's in your head
I hope it's in your head
If you want me to save the World
Then you better give me
More than a day to do it
If I'm out to save myself
Then I'd better get
The World to give me help
You work, breathe, eat, sleep
Laugh, cry, love and you die
Yeah, there's no point fooling yourself
It's just a habit of life
I hope it's in your head
All the words I said
And what it means to me
If you don't agree
Well then it's in your head
I hope it's in your head
When they said it would be hard
They never said it would be virtually impossible
When I said I was here for good
I meant I was here for good times
And I don't wanna say 'could've told you so'
But you were in the right and it was time to go
So forgive me if I speak my mind
I never was the silent type
You got that 'get rich - get big' thing in your head
Yeah, you got that 'get rich - get big' thing in your head
I hope it's in your head
All the words I said
And what it means to me
If you don't agree
Well then it's in your head
I hope it's in your head
All the words I said
And what it means to me
If you don't agree
Well then it's in your head
I hope it's in your head
All the words I said
And what it means to me
If you don't agree
Well then it's in your head
I hope it's in your head

JUST MIGHT MAKE IT
If you were real
I'd write my will
And leave it all to you
Nothing's new
So I bite my tongue
And I leave it down to you
What's to do?
It's times like these
I take my time to choose
Win or lose
Did you know
There's a place where we can go?
But you don't get there by faking it
If you've got a little love
Then you just might make it
If you've got a little love
Then we just might make it
If you were here
I'd write your name
In the sky up above for you
Something new
I'd make a fresh start
And I'd put it all down to you
What's to do?
Been saving myself
For someone that looks like you
Win or lose
Did you know
There's a place where we can go?
But you don't get there by faking it
If you've got a little love
Then you just might make it
Oh, there's a place where we can go
But you don't get there by faking it
If you've got a little substance
You just might make it
If you've got a little love
Then we just might make it
If you've got a little love
If you were mine
I'd give you every second of my time
If you want me to
Something new
It's you and me girl
Show the World
We got a point to prove
Lots to do
Been biding my time
For someone that thinks like you
Win or lose
Did you know
There's a place where we can go?
But you don't get there by faking it
If you've got a little love
Then we just might make it
Oh, there's a place where we can go
But you don't get there by faking it
If you've got a little substance
We just might make it
If we've got a little love
Then we just might make it
If we've got a little love
Then we just might make it
If we've got a little love
Then we just might make it

We just might make it
Might make it

CHILLIN' OUT
Forgive me
'Cos I'm just chilling out
I'm not crashing the stock market
Bringing the bank system down
Forgive me
'Cos I'm just chilling out
I won't fight for my country
This war ain't my argument, man
We're just laughing and joking
And drinking and smoking all night
We're hoping and praying
They'll pass if we turn out the lights
Turn them out
Forgive me
If you all got bills to pay
I was the king of the Internet
A subject of something less grand
We're just laughing and joking
And drinking and smoking all night
Hoping and praying
They'll pass if we turn out the lights
Turn them out
Forgive me
'Cos I'm still here today
I'm just making my fortune
The less than unfortunate way
Laughing and joking
And drinking and smoking all night
We're hoping and praying
They'll pass if we turn out the lights
Turn them out
Turn them out
Turn out the lights and chill out
Chill out, chill out
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Chill out, chill out, chill out
Chill out, chill out, chill out
Chill out, chill out, chill out
Chill out, chill out, chill out

Your World Today

YOUR WORLD TODAY
I've been around but I don't know much
I've seen plenty of faces but I haven't the touch
I gotta get around to something soon
Before they drag me down
I didn't like being down and out
So I found the free way and I covered some ground
I fell into the late night bus
And now I don't know where I am
Well it'll take a lot of time
To make it back home to you
Speaking out loud
Owning up to all the things I do
It's been a pretty good day in my world
I hope it's been a good day in your world today
In your world today
In your world today
There were years when I stopped to care
With my head in the clouds and my hands in the air
I was running on empty
I was running scared
That you were walking out on me
I didn't think I could do without
But I found a free space in a positive ground
I fell into the safe and sound
And now I sure know where I am
Now it takes a lot of bad news here to bring me down
But it was any old port in a storm
When the chips were down
It's been a pretty good day in my world
I hope it's been a good day in your world today
In your world today
I've been around but I don't know much
And now I don't know where I am today
In your world today
I'm just strolling through life
But I'm planning on hanging around again
I think of calling 'round
But I never know what to say
It's been a pretty good day in my world
I hope it's been a good day in your world today
In your world today
I've been around but I don't know much
And now I don't know where I am today
In your world today
Who's in your world today?
In your world today
In your world today
Who's in your world today?

THIS TIME TOMORROW
You've been looking at me like that for hours
You've been saying how love's a crumbling tower
You keep wanting the action
You keep wanting reaction 'round here
And I keep saying how
Everybody's looking like they want some
You wanna move it on out
Why don't you get your wheels on?
Now that I'm in with a shout
I couldn't care at all
But if you want to leave then I won't follow
If you want to go this time tomorrow
I've been here now for about an hour
You haven't said a word and I think it's catching
You don't wanna discuss it
I don't wanna be part of it
And we don't wanna be any part of our lives
And that's fine by me
You wanna move it on out
Why don't you get your wheels on?
Now that I'm in with a shout
I couldn't care at all
But if you want to leave then I won't follow
If you want to go this time tomorrow
We've been here for quite a while now
We've been saying everything
There's tears of joy
On the faces of the people in their shells
Everybody could break out
Everybody could open it up
And I'm still saying how
Everybody's looking like they want some
You wanna move it on out
Why don't you get your wheels on?
Now that I'm in with a shout
I couldn't care at all
But if you want to leave then I won't follow
If you want to go, if you want to go
If you want to go this time tomorrow
This time tomorrow - I'll be on my way
This time tomorrow - I'll be leaving on a 'plane
This time tomorrow - all the skies will turn to blue
This time tomorrow - there'll be nothing left of you
Nothing left of you at all

EMERALD (THIS IS FOR YOU)
I met you on an aeroplane
The last year of the century
We were heading to the South of France
You were there for company
Into the great unknown we travelled
Strangers in the sky
I said I was just scared of falling
When you laughed at my fear of heights
So this is for you, this is for you
This is for you, this is for you
I just hope it makes you feel good
We spoke of times that laid ahead
The greatest of escapes
Making plans for better days
As we landed in the rain
And the last thing I remember
You were waving from the taxi cab
Gone but not forgotten
To hold but to never have
And when I got 2,000 miles away
From who I used to be
I tracked you down
But I never got a chance to speak
And I'd love to get to know you
Better than I ever did
So I wrote a song about you
It was all that I had to give
So this is for you, this is for you
This is for you, this is for you
I just hope it makes you feel good
Hope it makes you feel good
This is for you, this is for you
This is for you, this is for you

Be There Waiting
04:08
|

|
BE THERE WAITING
It's a long way down
When you're stuck there at the bottom
And I don't mean to call you out
But I haven't forgotten
It's a last request
From a non-united nation
And I guess it's too late
To ask you for my salvation
No I don't need your love
I've seen enough is enough
I've been there once too often
I've seen the good get tough
I've got two strong arms
And a fragile heart
I won't come to any harm
If you'll be there waiting
It's the last transmission
From a distant population
And I don't mean to scream and shout
But I haven't forgot them
It's a one-way ticket
To a dead-end destination
It's a hopeless scene
In a no-win situation
No I don't need your love
I've seen enough is enough
I've been there once too often
I've seen the good get tough
I've got two strong arms
And a fragile heart
I won't come to any harm
If you'll be there (waiting)
It's a cry for help
A last plea for your attention
Did you get the last message
Or do you need an explanation?
It was a two-way trip
It just happened in the wrong location
And a useless conclusion
I wish I'd never made this mistake
No I don't need your love
I've seen enough is enough
I've been there once too often
I've seen the good get tough
I've got two strong arms
And a fragile heart
I won't come to any harm
If you'll be there waiting
If you'll be there waiting
I won't come to any harm
If you'll be there waiting
Be there waiting
If you'll be there waiting
If you'll be there waiting

MISS UNZIPPY BLUES
You get a ticket to Rio
I get a caravan in Brean for my cash
You get a company speedboat
And I get the bus to Hell and back
You take her skiing in the French Alps
It's a powder-frenzied tax relief
You get a feeling that you can't help
Well I get that too but it comes for free
That's the story of our two lives
You ride your luck and I ride my bike
Well I hope you got your moneys-worth out of me
Don't blame it on the lack of ambition - it's free
I just hope it gets me there, me there
He's got a talent in the city
She was my sweetheart once, a real soul mate
He calls her 'Little Miss Unzippy'
I used her real name 'cos it's more ornate
He's got a way with words they tell me
I got away with theft and nothing else
That's the story of our two lives
You ride your luck and I ride my bike
Well I hope you got your moneys-worth out of me
Don't blame it on the lack of ambition - it's free
I just hope it gets me there, me there
One of these things is not like the other
You tell me 'Get a real job'
I got a 'real job' thanks, I'm doing fine
You mention that he treats you like a God
You know religion never was a strong point of mine
To you I'm a statistic
I'm still a number if I'm a zero
You'd have me working on my blisters
But my job description still reads 'hero'
That's the story of our two lives
I ride my luck and I ride my bike
I just hope it gets me there, me there
He calls her 'Little Miss Unzippy'
I used her real name 'cos it's more ornate
Miss Unzippy blues

Throw Me A Line

THROW ME A LINE
Why don't you sing that song for me?
The one we sang when they set the people free
We we're laughing all the way to the bank
But the bank was closed
So we bought a cheap bottle of wine
So the story goes to bed
I'd love to take you home
But the ceiling came down so we've got no place to go
Yeah, once in a while does you good to go without
'Cos it all works out just fine in the end
No doubt about it
You said you want to know me
I guessed you'd want to show me
Why don't you throw me a line?
Why don't you throw me a line?
Why don't you wear that dress for me?
The one you bought back in 1993
We were laughing all the way to the end
When the credits ran
So we headed off into the night
When the lights went down
Too bad
You said you want to know me
I guessed you'd want to show me
Why don't you use that time?
Go ahead and make it mine
Don't make it wrong to know me
Go ahead if you want to show me
Why don't you throw me a line?
Why don't you throw me a line?
Go ahead and throw me a line
Why don't you throw me?
I'd love you here with me
But the waters ran under the bridge
And out to sea
So if you see me smile
It did me good to go without
'Cos it all worked out just fine in the end
No doubt about it
You said you want to know me
I hoped you'd want to show me
Why don't you use that time?
Go ahead and make it mine
It's not wrong to know me
Go ahead if you want to show me
Why don't you throw me a line?
Why don't you throw me a line?
Go ahead and throw me
Why don't you throw me a line?
Go ahead and throw me a line
Go ahead and throw me a line
Go ahead and throw me a line

MIDSUMMER DAYDREAM
Meet me in the morning
By the sycamore tree
There's an island in the river
We can make it by three
You can bring the food
I will fetch the wine
We'll try our luck at fishing
If we need to kill time
Who cares about the weather?
The sun will always shine
On my summer made in heaven
A daydream of mine
Keep me in, kick me out
But I don't scream and shout
Reel me in, count me out
But I can't do without
Clue me in-clude me out
There's a lot of it about
It was love at second sight
We watched the sun go down
You were in the countryside
And I was from the town
We were in it both together
We were up to our necks
But I left for rock 'n' roll
Forgot the drugs and the sex
Who cares about the others?
The sun will always shine
It's a summer made in heaven
This daydream is mine
Keep me in, kick me out
But I don't scream and shout
Reel me in, count me out
But I can't do without
Clue me in-clude me out
There's a lot of it about
Now the years have come between us
But you're still in my thoughts
You were all I ever needed
I was all you ever bought
I was Mr No-one
You were Mrs Cool
You were made to feel so special
I was made to feel a fool
Who cares about the outcome?
The sun will always shine
On my summer made in heaven
This daydream of mine
Keep me in, kick me out
But I don't scream and shout
Reel me in, count me out
But I can't do without
Clue me in-clude me out
There's a lot of it about

ALL OVER THE WORLD
I spent too many years in the same old place
Looking for a way to get off my face for most of it
I'd been down and out in that no-horse town
With a head full of worries and a heart full of frowns
I got over it
I'll see you between here and the deep blue sea
If you look beneath the surface
It's plain to see my love
Don't let it get you down too soon
You've got the sun
Got the moon to help you
Don't let it get you down too soon
You've got the sun, got the moon
Got the stars in the sky
The ticket we can fly
Let's pack in our jobs
And leave the whole World behind
Go leave the whole World behind
There's a mountain up ahead to climb
Let's run to the top
'Cos we still got time
Are you up for it?
I'm with you for the rest of this life of mine
If you want to we can dream about those castles
The castles in the sky
Don't let it get you down too soon
You've got the sun
Got the moon to help you
Don't let it get you down too soon
You've got the sun, got the moon
Got the stars in the sky
The ticket we can fly
Let's pack in our jobs
And leave the whole World behind
Go leave the whole World behind
Go leave the whole World
All over the World
They'll be singing your song
All over the World
All over the World
They'll be singing your song
All over the World
All over the World
They will be singing your song
All over the World
There's a mountain up ahead to climb
We're gonna run to the top
'Cos we still got time
Are you up for it?
Are you up for it?
Otherwise
It's all over, all over
All over the World
They will be singing your song
All over, all over
All over the World
They will be singing
They will be singing your song
All over, all over, all over
All over, all over, all over
All over the World
