Is Anyone There?

I remember when we used to say
That someday if we would only stay all together
We could be there
Now it seems you never learnt to see
Me in all your schemes and now we find after everything
There's too much to repair
Though people change as they get older
Something gets lost along the way
Oh don't you see, let's leave it be
And to tell you truthfully that's alright with me
I remember how we used to believe
It would work out, but all of the plans we made
Never went anywhere
Do we have to keep repeating the same mistakes
Is it too late to change all these bad habits
Do you even care?
Something is wrong, built up so long
And you know it can't go on, when it's gone it's gone
Looking back I hope that I can get through to you someday
I hope you can hear me now
Is anyone there?

Ooh love is she, ooh love is she
Ooh love is she, ooh love is she
Ooh love is you, ooh love is you
Ooh love is you, ooh love is you
Ooh love is she, ooh love is she
Ooh love is she, ooh ahh

Eloise

Eloise she never has a care
See her walk with lilies in her hair
Though it's rude to stop and stare
At the lilies in her hair, oh yeah oh yeah
Steps so light she moves as if she flies
Here she comes with diamonds in her eyes
How brightly they can shine
Oh the diamonds in her eyes, sometimes sometimes
Something's always coming round the corner
Nothing ever seems to go away
Every day seems a little shorter
Think I'll stay inside instead today
Swiftly as the wind blows, softly as a lullaby
Come on now and watch him as he flies
Someone's always tapping on the window
Someone's always knocking on the door
Everybody lives as if in limbo
Everybody wants a little more
Sweetly as a seagull, stooping as an alibi
Come on now and watch him as he flies
Swiftly as the wind blows, softly as a lullaby
Come on now and watch him as he flies
All the charms she has at her command
There she goes with lilacs in her hands
How can no one understand
Holding lilacs in her hand, oh man oh man

Walking in the Rain
02:20
|
|||
|
Oh my lady, she came along one cloudy day
As I was caught out in the rain
Oh yeah in the rain
Oh my lady, it's something that I can't explain
As we walked the rain began to change
Oh yeah began to change
Don't let a cloud ever bring you down
They're too high up to care
So let the rain fall to wash away
All the troubles of your day
And don't you worry
Oh my lady, I'll think of you each time it rains
Until I'm with you once again
Oh yeah once again
Put on your boots and step outside
Turn your coat up high
Soon we'll be back in doors once more
And we'll be home and dry
So don't you worry
Oh my lady, can't wait to be with you again
And we'll go walking in the rain
Oh yeah in the rain

Anna's Song

I've known you once before
I've met you somewhere else I'm sure
For my memories of you
Are clear my love
You told me long ago
There is no better place I know
Than of being near to you
Oh my love
There is no doubt in my mind
That it's you
Oh it's true, only you
And when we're far apart
I'll think of all my thoughts of you
Then you'll still be close to me
Oh my love
There is no doubt in my mind
That it's you and only you
Oh it's true, only you

There's a Rumour
02:57
|
|||
|
Have you the feeling things aren't as they seem
This whole place teems with a sense of unease
There's a rumour going around here
A little bird has whispered in my ear
Strange things keep happening no one can explain
Locals will whisper when saying her name
There's a rumour going around here
A little bird has whispered in my ear
People always act as though something's going on
I try to find a reason why, but I could be wrong
Many rumours circulating here
Do you think someone should interfere
People always act as though they knew it all along
Won't someone tell me, what's been going on?
She keeps to herself for most of the time
Who knows what goes on inside of her mind

Deadlines
02:47
|
|||
|
With only so much time each day
I never seem to have any left free
There's always one more thing it seems
Now I've got too much piling up on me
It's so heavy, someone rescue me
There's always one more thing to do
And everybody wants something from me
I can't escape from spinning plates
Is this the way it really has to be?
I'm so sleepy, please don't bother me
Always rushing round so quick
I need some time I need some space to think
Trapped and sick and left to sink
Now all this week I've bearly slept a wink
Don't turn out the light
I'm tired but I don't want to sleep
Cos I need, sometime to turn off my mind
I've too many thoughts to unwind
All night / Deadlines
Hold your breath and count to three
Close your eyes picture yourself at sea
Clear your head and lie in bed
Take an afternoon to simply be

The Writing on the Wall
03:25
|
|||
|
Rosie lived with Jack in a two roomed flat
With their cat and without much to their name
Rosie had a slog of working three odd jobs
While Jack worked in selling picture frames
Oh my dear now don't you know
There's things in life you can't control at all
Oh my dear now it only goes to show
He'll never see the writing on the wall
When the banks collapsed and they gave Jack the sack
He needed other means for getting by
With nowhere else to turn he started working for the firm
They said “oh we have the perfect thing in mind”
Oh my dear why weren't you ever told
It's no fun in the stony lonesome's halls
Oh my dear now it only goes to show
He'll never see the writing on the wall
Through extortion, bribes and threats, bootlegging and loan-shark debts
And a secret gambling ring their wealth had grown
By greasing a few palms they passed below the p'lice radar
And soon amassed an empire of their own
Ah what's a cat to do to get along and pay his dues in this here city
But maybe there's a better way of getting some money for getting by
After a job went wrong Jack felt the heat was on
And he knew they would soon run out of time
Making their escape as the law gave them chase
As they raced to get across the border line
Oh my dear now don't you know
The higher the further to fall
In a quick flash and blaze he was finally blown away
And now he sees the writing on the wall

Let You Down
03:45
|
|||
|
There'll always be someone to love you
If I'm around or thinking of you
Tell me truly if there's something here?
Oh if it's so, please let me know
Make it clear, make it clear
I'll always be around to hold you
I hope at least by now I've showed you
Tell me truly what's the matter here?
I hope you know, I hope I won't
Let you down, let you down
There'll always be someone to love you
If I'm around or thinking of you
Tell me truly, if there's something here?
I hope you know, I hope I won't
Let you down, let you down

Flying Higher
02:14

If you wait beside the river's spring
You will hear the songs that all the imps sing
Have no fears I promise they won't sting
Keep this sort of fears out of your head
Keep these sorts of fears tucked up in bed
When you prick your ears up to discover
You hear trees whispering to each other
Tell them if you've passed this way before
Listen to the secrets that they know
and you'll always find your way back home
If beneath the thickets you go glancing
You will see the sprites as they go dancing
And if you should ever stray to far
Ask them they will tell you where you are
And then you shall never come to harm

Lady in waiting
Please don't be late now
I'd like to know you
If you would only stay awhile
Pictures are fleeting
Never repeating
I'd like to meet you
If you would only
But you know that I don't want to make you wait for love
And you know that I don't to have to wait too long
Rain on the window
Softly you see through
I'd like to go there if you would only
But you know that I don't want to make you wait for love
I like to find as many ways that I can help you help yourself to get along
But I don't care if you don't mind
If you don't care oh I don't mind
Who's that one that I'll give all my heart to
Who's that one and I will be back for you
Who's that one that I'll give all my heart to
Who's that one and I will be back for you
Please don't keep me waiting here I know to much to fall
Time drags on without you so why won't you come to call?
I don't mind
It's easy if you try
Cos you're nothing short of something every time
And there's nothing stopping you from screwing round my (mind)
Ba-ba-bye-a
