My Brave Face
|
|
My brave, my brave, my brave face I've been living in style Unaccustomed as I am To the luxury life I've been hitting the town And it didn't hit back I've been doing the rounds Unaccustomed as I am To the time on my hands Now I don't have to tell anybody When I'm going to get back Ever since you went away I've had this sentimental inclination Not to change a single thing As I pull the sheet back on the bed I want to go bury my head In your pillow Now that I'm alone again I can't stop breaking down again The simplest things set me off again And take me to that place Where I can't find my brave face Where I can't find my brave face My brave, my brave, my brave face My brave face I've been living a lie Unaccustomed as I am To the work of a housewife I've been breaking up Dirty dishes and throwing them away Ever since you left I have been trying to Compose a "Baby, will you please come home" note Meant for you As I clear away another Untouched TV dinner from the table I laid for two Now that I'm alone again I can't stop breaking down again The simplest things set me off again And take me to that place Where I can't find my brave face Where I can't find my brave face My brave, my brave, my brave face |

Rough Ride
|
|
I needed loving I needed a friend I needed something that would be there in the end On a rough ride to heaven Want to get inside What will I do On a rough ride to heaven I want to get inside To be with you I knew you'd help me I knew you could You knew I didn't want to be misunderstood On a rough ride to heaven Want to be inside What did I do On a rough ride to heaven I want to be inside To be with you I'm not asking for an easy passage So I hope you'll understand I'm not after any special treatment But I wouldn't mind a hand On a rough ride On a rough ride On a rough ride to heaven If I want to get inside What will I do On a rough ride to heaven I want to get inside What will I do On a rough ride to heaven I want to get inside To be with you |

You Want Her Too
|
|
She makes me go so wrong Yeah, you kept me awake, you know you did I've loved her oh so long So why don't you come right out and say it, stupid She makes me do things I don't want to do I don't know why I should be telling you I know that you want her too My intentions are quite sincere That's not what you said the other night And all you can do is sneer Go ahead and kid yourself, you're right She makes me do things I don't want to do I don't know why I should be telling you I know that you want her too I've got a better chance than you do I know that you want her too You're such a hopeless romantic She told me you're so predictable and nice She only did you a favor once or twice Once or twice She makes me go so wrong So why don't you lie back and enjoy it My conscience is clear and strong Yes, she says I'm just the boy for it She makes me do things I don't want to do I don't know why I should be telling you I know that you want her too I know that you want her too I know that you want her too |

Distractions
|
|
What is this thing in life That persuades me to spend Time away from you If you can answer this You can have the moon This is the place to be Anyway you can see There's a lovely view Why are there always So many other things to do Distractions Like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head When I'm alone I think of you And the life we'd lead if we could only be free From these distractions The postman's at the door While the telephone rings On the kitchen wall Pretend we're not at home And they'll disappear I wanna be with you Tell me what I can do Nothing is too small Away from all this jazz We could do anything at all Distractions Like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head When I'm alone I think of you And the things we'd do if we could only be through With these distractions I'll find a peaceful place Far away from the noise On a busy day Where we can spend our nights Counting shooting stars Distractions Like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head When I'm alone I think of you And the things we'd do if we could only be through With these distractions Like butterflies they're buzzing 'round my head When I'm alone I think of you And the life we'd lead if we could only be free From these distractions |

We Got Married
|
|
Going fast, coming soon We made love in the afternoon Found a flat after that We got married Working hard for the dream Scoring goals for the other team Times were bad, we were glad We got married Like the way you open up your hearts to each other When you find a meeting of the minds Just as well, love was all we ever wanted It was all we ever had Further on in the game Waiting up till the children came Place your bets, no regrets We got married We got married We got married Nowadays every night Flashes by at the speed of light Living life, loving wife We got married I love the things that happen when we start to discover Who we are and what we're living for Just because love was all we ever wanted It was all we ever had It's not just a loving machine It doesn't work out If you don't work at it |

Put It There
|
|
Give me your hand I'd like to shake it I want to show you I'm your friend You'll understand If I can make it clear It's all that matters in the end Put it there if it weights a ton That's what a father says to his young son I don't care if it weights a ton As long as you and I are here, put it there Long as you and I are here, put it there If there's a fight I'd like to fix it I hate to see things go so wrong The darkest night And all its mixed emotions Are getting lighter, sing along Put it there if it weights a ton That's what a father says to his young son I don't care if it weights a ton As long as you and I are here, put it there Long as you and I are here, put it there |

Figure of Eight
|
|
You've got me dancing in a figure of eight Don't know if I'm coming or going, I'm early or late Round and round the ring I go I want to know, I want to know Why can't we travel a continuous line Make love reliable convenant all the time Up and down the hills I go I got to know, I got to know Is it better to love one another Than to go for a walk in the dark Is it better to love than to give in to hate We'd better take good care of each other Avoid slipping back off the straight and narrow It's better by far than getting stuck in a figure of eight Well, figure it out for yourself, little girl It don't go nowhere at all It's nothing more than a tape loop In a big dance hall You've got me running in a figure of eight Don't know if I'm coming or going, I'm early or late Round and round the ring I go I want to know, I want to know Is it better to love one another Than to go for a walk in the dark Is it better to love than to give in to hate We'd better take good care of each other Avoid slipping back off the straight and narrow It's better by far than getting stuck in a figure of eight |

This One
|
|
Did I ever take you in my arms Look you in the eye, tell you that I do Did I ever open up my heart Let you look inside If I never did it, I was only waiting For a better moment that didn't come There never could be a better moment Than this one, this one This one is gliding above the ocean A God is riding upon his back How calm the water and bright the rainbow Fade this one to black Did I ever touch you on the cheek Say that you were mine, thank you for the smile Did I ever knock upon your door Try to get inside If I never did it, I was only waiting For a better moment that didn't come There never could be a better moment Than this one, this one This one is gliding above the ocean A God is riding upon his back How calm the water and bright the rainbow Fade this one to black What opportunities did we allow to flow by Feeling like the timing wasn't quite right What kind of magic might have worked if we had stayed calm Couldn't I have given you a better life Did you ever take me in your arm Look me in the eye, tell me that you do Did I ever open up my heart Let you look inside If I never did it, I was only waiting For a better moment that didn't come There never could be a better moment Than this one, this one This one is gliding above the ocean A God is riding upon his back How calm the water and bright the rainbow Fade this one to black This one is gliding A God is riding How calm the water And bright the rainbow |

Don't Be Careless Love
|
|
Burn the midnight lamp Down until the dawn I'll keep watch until I'm sure you're coming home Shadows play and flicker on the bedroom wall They turn into a bad dream overnight Something could be terribly wrong Don't be careless love Don't be careless love Don't be, don't be careless In my dream you're running nowhere Every step you've taken turns to glue Walking down a spiral staircase Falling through, falling through Don't be careless love Be careless love The lamp burns down and out I'm getting pretty tired of this I feel so bad something might be going amiss I won't be there, so look out for yourself You're getting in deep whatever you do Don't let me go back to sleep Don't be careless love Don't be careless love Don't be, don't be careless Saw your face in the morning paper Saw your body rolled up in a rug Chopped up into two little pieces By some thug Don't be careless love Be careless love But in the morning light When I wake up again You're by my side and that's the way it's always been But in the dark your mind plays funny tricks on you Your mind plays funny tricks on you Your mind plays funny tricks on you Don't be careless love |

That Day Is Done
|
|
I feel such sorrow, I feel such shame I know I won't arrive on time Before whatever out there is gone What can I do, that day is done It's just a promise that I made I said I'd walk in her parade Hot scalding tears I thought would flow Still, in my heart they'll never show That day is done That day is done You know where I've gone I won't be coming back That day is done Well, I recall the time and place When they announced her precious face I thought at once my heart would burst Still, every time is like the first There was applause when she stepped up I wished that I could interrupt I made no sign, I made no sound I know I must stay underground That day is done That day is done You know where I've gone I won't be coming back That day is done That's why she walks or so they say She always knew just what I needed Now, if she would just look my way One time before they proceed She sprinkles flowers in the dirt That's when a thrill becomes a hurt I know I'll never see her face She walks away from my resting place That day is done That day is done You know where I've gone I won't be coming back That day is done |

How Many People
|
|
How many people stand in a line How many people never get a chance to shine If you can tell me, I'll gladly listen How many people have died One too many right now for me I want to be happy I want to be free One too many right now for me I want to see ordinary people living peacefully How many people go for a ride How many people never make it through to the other side If you can tell me, I'll gladly listen How many people have cried One too many right now for me I want to be happy I want to be free One too many right now for me I want to see ordinary people living peacefully How many people will it take How many people for goodness sake How many people How many people, one too many How many people, one too many |

Motor of Love
|
|
I can't get over your love No matter how hard life seems There's a light in my dreams Thanks to you My friends keep asking me why There's such a smile on my face There's a home at my place Thanks to you I don't want anything from you Turn on your motor of love Motor of love, motor of love Heavenly father look down from above I can't get over your powerful motor of love I can't get over your love No matter how lost I feel I know my love is real Thanks to you You simply reached out your hand And touched me deep in my soul I came in out of the cold Thanks to you I won't steal anything from you You give me more than enough Motor of love, motor of love Heavenly father look down from above I can't get over your powerful motor of love There was a time when I was down and counted out Well, I remember I felt so bad I nearly threw away Nearly threw away the keys Motor of love, motor of love Heavenly father look down from above Motor of love, motor of love Heavenly father look down from above I can't get over your powerful motor of love |
