Walk A Mile

Walk a mile in my shoes baby
Kick off your little red dancing boots
Eight miles high you’re hanging down from heaven
And I'm stuck here in a bar like a fool
Take a walk in my shoes baby
See the other side of the road
Walk a mile in my shoes baby
See the other side...
You're crying
your crocodile tears and so
We're flying
In the face all of all we know
Its a long way
To the place we started from
And I don't believe in fear
The revolution starts here
Walk a mile in my shoes baby
Give those angel wings some rest
Your ice white smile and your oceanic eyes
Have me ...lost inside my head
You're crying
your crocodile tears and so
We're flying
In the face all of all we know
Its a long way
To the place we started from
And I don't believe in fear
The revolution starts here
Walk a mile (walk a mile baby) in my shoes baby
See the other side of the road
Take a walk (take a walk baby) in my shoes baby
See the other side of the road
Walk a mile (walk a mile baby) in my shoes baby
See the other side of the road
Take a walk (take a walk baby) in my shoes baby
See the other side of the road

No fixed destination
Silly girls they spend their lives running round after maverick steeds
Even the ones that say they're tuff come a tumblin' when they fell loves heat
I thought we had something worth saving but you kept me looking over my shoulder
I know I made the right decision when I said...'It's over;
I would've thought by now - you'd realise
would've thought by now - you'd let it go
would've thought by now - you would surely know
That the love we had between us was a deadly fascination
Your trouble shooting heart was on a course
With no fixed destination
Boys can be cold blooded, stubborn and so selfish with emotion
but a twinkle in her eye and the smell of her perfume's a deadly potion
mmm You made me weak, you made me weak up in our apartment, so many times
Though I Lay at your feet adoring, you needed so much more excitement
I would've thought by now - you'd realise
would've thought by now - you'd let it go
would've thought by now - you would surely know
That the love we had between us was a deadly fascination
Your trouble shooting heart was on a course
With no fixed destination
Life showed me a secret, it’s what you do and how much you enjoy yourself
Although the further hills seem greener while your looking you're just sitting on a dusty shelf
Now the days are getting shorter and I told you once before I'm getting out of here
I'm not spending any more time giving you my shoulder for those tiny tears…..wo oh oh
I would've thought by now - you'd realise
would've thought by now - you'd let it go
would've thought by now - you would surely know
That the love we had between us was a deadly fascination
Your trouble shooting heart was on a course
With no fixed destination

I've Got You
04:58
|

I’ve got you,
Something to live for
Something to sing for
Something thats real
I’ve got you
Someone who knows me
Someone who shows me
What its all about
I always knew you were the only one
You’ve got me feeling like I’m 21
You let me know when I get out of line
I can’t stop thinking ‘bout you all the time, all the time
When I’m with you
I get up in the morning
Go around with this feeling
I could do anything
When I’m with you
I get a little bit bolder
I don’t mind getting older
Cus I’m doing it with you
And when I'm with you walking down the street
I’d show you off but you're just so discreet
You always wear the clothes that suit you well
I ask about the price, you never tell, never tell
I’ve Got You
I always knew you were the only one
You’ve got me feeling like I’m 21
You let me know when I get out of line
I can’t stop thinking ‘bout you all the time, all the time
I’ve Got You

Only You
03:47
|

|
You keep changing - I don't ask why
You’re tangled up in knots I helped you tie
When you're blue -the birds start falling from the sky
I get trapped inside the sound of their cries
(ooh)
Only you (Only You)
Only you could make me stay
With all your cruel and tender ways
Big trouble - banging on my door
Feels like we’ve been here since 1984
You think you’ve found someone but soon it turns to war
Busted promises but whose keeping score?
(ooh)
Only you (Only You)
Only you could make me stay
With all your cruel and tender ways
I thought you played a joker as a heart
You raised the stakes from the very start
Only you (Only You) x 4
Only you could make me stay (oooh)
Only you (Only You)
Only you could make me stay (oooh)
Only you (Only You)
With all your cruel and tender ways (ooh)
(Only You) Only you

Now You Are Gone
04:09
|

|
I still listen for the sound at night
Of breaking bottles on the cliff
Or the hum of your Farfisa
Banging out some Old Time tune
On A Sunday Morning
That’s when I miss you mostly
Now you are gone
Where do I turn when things go wrong
When it’s hard to decide
When I'm swimming ‘gainst the tide
You were so strong
Who will I turn to now you are gone
I still Listen for the phone to ring
To see you standing at the gate
Engines running ‘cus you’re late for work
You always loved to make them wait
On A Sunday Morning
That’s when I miss you mostly
Now you are gone
Where do I turn when things go wrong
When it’s hard to decide
When I'm swimming ‘gainst the tide
You were so strong
Who will I turn to now you are gone
I remember all that you said – ‘bout life, love and money
And the time you came to my party
All my friends said you were funny, so funny
On A Sunday Morning
That’s when I miss you mostly
Now you are gone
Where do I turn when things go wrong
When it’s hard to decide
When I'm swimming ‘gainst the tide
You were so strong
Who will I turn to now you are gone

Your Love Is Heaven
04:05
|

|
You’re the keeper of a flame we have found
Don’t you know your love is heaven
Now we’re sound
Bring me slowly to my knees from now on
Hold on tightly to our dreams when I’m gone
Don’t you know your love is heaven,
Don’t you know your love is heaven
We belong
And you know I’d do anything
Don’t you know I’d do anything
Just to keep our love the way it’s always been
Oh you pour such soul onto the fires down below
its the spirit of one love, and you who lets it grow
Don’t you know your love is heaven,
Don’t you know your love is heaven
Your love is heaven
Don’t you know?

How To Come Back To You
05:21
|
|||
|
Just like a flower blowing in the wind
Her spell took me over, I became blind
I played a game of brilliant lies
Or so I thought till you looked in my eyes
What I know now I did not know then
I kept you waiting to get hurt again…Oh no
I was so cruel, a fortunate fool
But you showed me how to come back to you
What’s that you said so long ago
When somebody hurts you, you just let them go
The lessons we give we don’t always heed
Thank God you weren’t listening to your own creed
What I know now I did not know then
I kept you waiting to get hurt again…Oh no
I was so cruel, a fortunate fool
But you showed me how to come back to you
Now we can grow, now we are strong
Got some great kids and a place to belong
All of the time we’ve spent together
Only a grain in the sands of forever
What I know now I did not know then
I kept you waiting to get hurt again..Oh no
I was so cruel, a fortunate fool
But you showed me how to come back to you
….You showed me how to come back to you
My world comes alive when you’re by my side.

Keeper Of My Heart
04:32
|
|||
|
You say you want to be on your own
And live our lives together
You tell me its all over now
Now that its getting better
You whisper words say our love is real
Then Tell me it’s a lie
You’re Giving up everything we’ve got
Now that we seem alright
You’re the Keeper Of My heart
Every time we fall apart
You leave your hooks beneath my skin
You’re the reason I survive
The one desire I just cant hide
You’re the Keeper Of My heart
You say you want to let me in
As you close your door
You want some love and understanding
Like we had before
You say I really try to bring you down
When we’re getting higher
You write me letters all of the time
While setting them on fire
You’re the Keeper Of My heart
Every time we fall apart
You leave your hooks beneath my skin
You’re the reason I survive
The one desire I just cant hide
You’re the Keeper Of My heart

Give Me Something
03:54

Give me something to hold on to
So I can get a hold on you
Give me something that’s warm and true
So I can get inside of you
I need to touch you baby
I gotta get through to you
I need to touch you baby
What else can I do
Tell me now what’s going on
Lately you’ve been so far gone
So far gone it’s in your eyes
We’ve been barely holding on
I need to touch you baby
Or I’ll be moving on
I need to touch you baby
So let me in, c’mon
Give me something to hold on to
So I can get a hold on you
Give me something that’s warm and true
So I can get inside of you

Papillon

It's not what you take when you go
It's what you bring
It's not the words of your song
But the tune that you sing
You're happy to give what you've got
and all you've been given
Now you're heading for winter
but you're the colour of spring
So you give it away
You pass it around
You keep what you need
you'd do a butterfly proud
Someday we're all gonna die
But you've helped me realise
Why the papilion flies x 3
It's not what you take when you go
It's what you bring
You don't have to sing like a bird
Just as long as you sing....
Bada ba da bada
So you give it away
You pass it around
You keep what you need
you'd do a butterfly proud
Someday we're all gonna die
But you've helped me realise
Why the papilion flies
Na na na na
