I don’t wanna lose you Can’t believe this really is the end How can I convince you That I wanna be more than your friend? Can we start things over Make a new beginning, for old time’s sake? I don’t wanna sit here Waiting for you, and my heart to break Cos I...I just want to love you Cos I...I just want to be with you Cos I...I just want to touch you baby So tell me...that you feel it too I don’t wanna bruise you Hate it how we fuss and fight and scream Wake me from this nightmare Tell me that it all was just a dream Can you take my hand now Lead me to that safe place where love can grow? Don’t you walk away now Turn your back on this life we’ve come to know Cos I...I just want to love you Cos I...I just want to be with you Cos I...I just want to touch you baby So tell me...that you feel it too Ooh hey hey Don't walk away Don't make me cry Please don't say goodbye I don’t wanna lose you Can’t believe this really is the end How can I convince you That I wanna be more than your friend? Can we start things over Make a new beginning, for old time’s sake? I don’t wanna sit here Waiting for you, and my heart to break Cos I...I just want to love you Cos I...I just want to be with you Cos I...I just want to touch you baby So tell me...that you feel it too

When are you gonna notice me? Swimmin’ alongside all of those...other fish in the sea? I don’t wanna be your…never ever one... So come out of that dark and play With me in the sun... Cos playin’ that old love game by yourself...it ain’t no fun Yeah playin’ house all on your own all day...that ain’t no...fun So you take two steps forward then...another two Cos there ain’t no steppin’ backward if you wanna see it through I’m only travellin’ on a one way track And if I don’t hear you callin’ Then I won’t look back If I don’t hear you callin Then I won’t look back, I said Dee-dah-dah-dee-dah-dah... I hear the whistle of the loneliness train Passin’ on by me with its cargo of pain I watch it thunder past on down the track And if I don’t heed that whistle Then I won’t look back If I don’t hear it callin’ me I won’t look back Dee-dah-dah-dee-dah-dah... Watch my hips a-swingin’ as I pass on by And fall right in beside me as I give you the eye Don’t you keep me waitin’ Cos I tell you this fact If you won’t walk beside me Then I won’t look back If you catch that train of loneliness I won’t look back Dee-dah-dah-dee-dah-dah... ...if you don’t want to want me then...I won’t look...ba-a-a-a-ack

Lookin’ out on a sunlit sea...with a Drink or two, maybe even three Thinkin’... how great life can be Simply sittin’ in the shade of a She-Oak tree Oh how the days slip by High above, not a cloud in the sky Feelin’ like I could just about fly When you’re lookin’ at me with that wink in your eye Lookin’ out on a sunlit sea...with a Drink or two, maybe even three Thinkin’... how great life can be Simply sitting in the shade of a She-Oak tree Sittin’ feeling gentle breeze in my hair Stretchin’ out without a single care Nothin’ better than that salty air As we’re makin’ the most of our She-Oak Affair Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah ... Makin’ the most of every day Watchin’ all of our cares just sail a-way Think I’m gonna see this week out okay If the beach and the tides and the moon have their way Soakin’ up all the Vitamin D The best things in life are really free How great life can be Simply sittin’ in the shade of a She-Oak tree Sittin’ feeling gentle breeze in my hair Stretchin’ out without a single care Nothin’ better than that salty air As we’re makin’ the most of our She-Oak Affair Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah... Oh how the days slip by High above, not a cloud in the summer sky Feelin’ like I could just about fly When you’re lookin’ at me with that wink in your eye Lookin’ out on a sunlit sea...with a Drink or two, maybe even three Thinkin’... how great life can be Simply sitting in the shade of a She-Oak tree Sittin’ feeling gentle breeze in my hair Stretchin’ out without a single care Nothin’ better than that salty air As we’re makin’ the most of our She-Oak Affair Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah ... ....how ‘bout we have an affair (D to stop)

Can't believe that you make the time to Do everything that I seem to be blind to 'Specially when you're putting your mind to Breaking me down Why's it so hard for you to play nice? Why do you always have to win twice? Telling lies, your strange vice, the talk of the town Don't push me down When I believe I'm as free as a hummingbird Down down, when I thought I could take you at your word Down down, this game is getting too absurd Down down, don't you push me down Don't you push me down, down down Oh no Don't push me down You always twist communication Manipulate a conversation Insinuating complication Dragging me down Don't wanna play this game of treason Give me just one damn good reason Why you won't right now see me leaving Running 'cross town Don't push me down When I believe I'm as free as a hummingbird Down down, when I thought I could take you at your word Down down, this game is getting too absurd Down down, don't you push me down Don't you push me down, down down Oh no Don't push me down Can't believe that you'd take the time to Do everything that I seem to be blind to 'Specially when you're putting your mind to Breaking me down Why's it so hard for you to play nice? Why do you always have to win twice? Telling lies, your strange vice, the talk of the town Don't push me down When I believe I'm as free as a hummingbird Down down, when I thought I could take you at your word Down down, this game is getting too absurd Down down, don't you push me down Don't you push me down, down down Down down, don't push me down Down down, don't push me down Down down, don't push me down Don't you push me down Don't you push me down Down down (down down down)

You know we've only got one life to live That's why I'm so surprised you've got so little to give When you gonna give me back the freedom that I crave? We're scraps upon the wind and there's nothing here that's left to save This love will only start eroding me Ain't ever gonna be about owning me Why can't you love me just because I'm me? Why won't you give me just a little Unconditionality Why won't you let me be me...and just love me? You've got my heart, my soul, all twisted up behind While you can't even bother or pretend to be kind I want a love with no conditions and just a little respect Someone who wants me with all my flaws and scars and yet Your strange love's eroding me Seems to be all about owning me But you can't take who I'm meant to be...I'm just me Why can't you offer to me Your unconditionality Why won't you let me be me...and just love me? I see nothing but hypocrisy Your empty words ringing so hollow to me Why do you see love as some game to play? Well OK Sacrifice your queen and let me fly away Why d'you make me stay Cos you just turn away When you don't like to see a part of me that's not perfect When we began this thing, you really had me fooled Cos ever since that day, yeah, all you've done, is push and pull True love will always accept another person's flaws This ain't enough for me yeah, I'm out the door, cos I want more Of what you can't give me Your careless love eroded me You won't get the chance again to be owning me I'm stepping into the light and taking care of me (yes me) Do you even know the meaning of Unconditionality Why couldn't you have just loved me? Cos I'm sure it's there, waiting somewhere Now that I'm free, it's waiting for me cos I'm worth it Unconditionality

Mo Luaidh Mo Cridhe Oooh Darling love, beautiful soul Carry me over the hills to the edge of the sea Where I shall lie Safe in your arms Perfect in peace under beloved deep Celtic skies For the gossamer veil is so thin here Where our journeys to the next world begin On the cold winter wind and the flight of the wild goose You'll feel me And the waves will continue unceasing While the wings of the seabirds keep beating Just as my love for you will go on forever Stars above, the sea tumbles below Our journey is only beginning there is more to this road Stay close my love Hold me till morning I will see you again at the edge of the world on our journey The gossamer veil it's so thin here Where our journeys to the next world begin In the cold winter wind and the flight of the wild goose You'll feel me...hear me As the ocean continues unceasing And the wings of the seabirds keep beating Just as my love for goes on and on till forever Mo Luaidh Mo Chridhe Ooh... Hold me my love Sleep now till morning Ooh... The gossamer veil it's so thin here Where our journeys to the next world begin On the cold winter wind and the flight of the wild goose You'll hear me...feel me As the waves carry on never ceasing While the wings of the seabirds keep beating All the love that I have for you, goes on till forever Mo Luaidh Mo Chridhe Say fare thee well in this moment for I'll see you again Say fare thee well for the moment, for I'll see you again La da da da ....

100 Or Less 04:23
Silent danger on the wind Gradually all the Business Open signs were taken in The songs and music on the street Began to drift away with every fearful heartbeat One hundred or less That’s what the men in charge told us would be best You can sing your songs but you must stay a distance away They gave us hope and then they took it all away The very next day The bars and restaurants tried to hold on tight alongside us While it was still OK to keep our heads afloat and make no fuss All we lived for was living to play Then a crowd of losers on a beach stole all our dreams away One hundred or less That’s what the faceless men in suit and ties told us was best Play your guitar but make sure you’re at least 2 metres away They gave us small hope and then it was gone The very next day, yeah, they wouldn’t let us play Tumbleweeds in our humble bank account We ask for help but every time we scream and shout Little funding for the Arts it seems But plenty dollars there to buy more submarines Lord, it makes me scream, you know what I mean? So many in this world think music’s just a dreamer’s choice But it’s the way we earn our living and it’s our only voice When times are good, they build us up and follow us round town Now times are hard and people look away as we fall down One hundred or less That’s what the faceless men in suit and ties told us was best Play your guitar but make sure you’re at least 2 metres away Gave us some hope but then it was gone The very next day One hundred or less That’s what the men in charge told us would be best, yeah yeah You can sing your songs but you must stay a distance away They gave us hope and then they took it all away The very next day Why couldn’t we just play You took our hope away Thought we’d get to fight another day Why can’t we just play You took our dreams away Took our hopes away Why won’t you let us play?
