I Just Want To

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

I Won't Look Back
03:19
|

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

She-Oak Affair
04:02
|
|||
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)

Don't Push Me Down
04:03
|
|||
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)

Unconditionality
04:54
|
|||
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

Fare Thee Well Lament

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

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?
