Stop Listening

I'm happy to be here I'm happy to be with you
For where in a lifetime do we do the things we really want to
Now old friends they watch lovers, they wonder where we're going to
They know each look from the other and they accuse you, accuse you
It's on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and

Don't do this to me, stop listening, start calling my name
Stop turning from me, start feeling I'm here, stop listening keep holding me

I'm happy to lie here, well, I'm happy to touch your face
I've got nothing to fear here so these feelings, they cannot be placed
Oh, why do you never listen? what do you ever want?
It's funny how I feel like, some kind of person
Another kind of person I would never like to be

Your on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and

Can't do this to you, stop listening, I keep calling your name
I'm not turning from you, start feeling I'm here, stop teasing me keep holding me
You can be fragile I don't care I'll always be there

Can't do this to you, stop listening, I keep calling your name yes I do
I'm not turning from you, start feeling I'm here, stop teasing me keep holding me

Light Up The World

Thinking back, could I feel much older? and my stance couldn't feel much colder
Can they tell what I'm getting over now? in the park I've seen you walking
And in my dreams I've heard you talking can they tell what I'm getting over now?
'Cos you light up the world yeah, you light up the world

In this time, and times to come I do not know if your hopes have won
I do not care where you think you'll find it and I do not care if I fall behind
Thinking back I was so much younger thinking back you were so much more tender
Thinking back, will it make me hunger now?

For you, light up the world
Yeah you, light up the world
Well there's something about the girl
Yeah there's something about her world
There's something for everyone

Have you found yourself in the frame of mind?
Where no-one can be too kind
And there's so little lost
There must be a life to trust there
And if I try I know I'll be there
To hold, and be mine

Amore Si

It was a lonely summer where I have been your shelter following your footsteps will you be my first regret?
Sorry if I'm foolish making myself secrets seems to come between us
And we always leave them there, my child always leave them there...

Who will love you?
Do you break my heart? do I have to go? does it mean we've loved somebody?
Now you're falling
Do we have to cheat? do we have to lie? does it mean I've loved somebody?
Who will hold you?
Do we learn to cry? do we have to hate? does it mean we've loved somebody?

Waiting in the cold like this always feeling nervous hiding in the shadows I'm sure I can't get caught you know
I can't keep together any of my thoughts how they feel but I just came round to talk, you know
Always here to talk...

Who will need me?
Do you break my heart? do I have to go? does it mean we've loved somebody?
Now I'm losing
Do we have to cheat? do we have to lie? does it mean I've loved somebody?
Who will hold me?
Do we learn to cry? do we have to hate? does it mean we've loved somebody?
Now I'm fighting amore si
Does it mean I'm real? does it make me sane?

Who will need me?
Do you break my heart? do I have to go? does it mean we've loved somebody?
Now I'm losing
Do we have to cheat? do we have to lie? does it mean I've loved somebody?
Who will hold me?
Do we learn to cry? do we have to hate? does it mean we've loved somebody?
Now I'm fighting amore si
Does it mean I'm real? does it make me sane?

Back In Your Arms

Now this isn't the party I would hold now, I'm trying to make it on my own
I have opened my house but it's not like a home without you
And I really don't want to feel that you're not here 'cause I would be

Back in your arms, I would be
Back in your arms I'd keep on calling you
Yeah, I'd keep on calling you

No this isn't the season I would have chose
To be walking for miles with nowhere to go
I find shelter and warmth but I still feel the cold without you
And I really don't want to feel that you're not here 'cause I would be

Back in your arms, I would be
Back in your arms I'd keep on calling you
Yeah, I'd keep on calling you

Back in your arms, I would be
Back in your arms I'd keep on holding you
Yeah, I'd keep on holding you

How do you think it feels? when you have a broken heart
Can't you reach out for me? can't you take me baby once again?

The Cappuccino Song (All My Life)

The woman smiles, the cafe feels like home to you
And as she glances through the magazine you feel somehow, she's seen you, too

All my life I thought you said
All my life I heard you say
It'll be all right
(All my life)
If you stay for all my life, for all my life

As she turns her face I feel unsure, is it foolish to want much more?
And as I place the moments in the frame it's to these, I return again

All my life I thought you said
All my life I heard you say
It'll be all right
(All my life)
If you stay for all my life, for all my life

Tell me, tell me
We could be together
We could be forever in my company

I Don’t Wanna Lose At Love

You don't want to do too much staring at the evening sun
Maybe you cannot stand up but you have become one
I just want to see her smile maybe she will never hurt
And all that I have yearned to touch, well, I have made worse

Is she all you need? ah, you fools first agreed

I don't want to spoil your game every day is bound to change
Making every move seem wise in her dark eyes
No, I don't want to be the clown making like I've seen too much
When everything from here is down I am the head-rush

Is she all you need? would you steal from me?
Is she all you see?

And the sky, the sky, the sky is shining the sky, the sky is mine

Now I don't want to lose at love maybe you would take the chance
Struggling in anothers world I'm just losing at once

Is she all you need? (she all you need?)
She's been too far, too far from me
And she's all, all, all, that you see
Yea, the sky, the sky is mine
Yea, the sky, the sky is mine

I don't want to lose at love I don't want to lose at love
Now, the sky, the sky was mine yeah the sky was mine the sky, the sky was mine the sky was mine
I don't want to lose at love I don't want to lose at love
I don't want to lose at love I don't want to lose at love

The Day Before You Came

i must have left my house at eight because I always do my train,
i'm certain left the station just when it was due
i must have read the morningpaper, going into town and having gotten through the editorial no doubt
i must have frowned
i must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
with letters to be read and heaps of paper waiting to be signed
i must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so the usual place, the usual
bunch and still on top of this I'm pretty sure
it must have rained the day before you came
i must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
and at the time I never even noticed I was blue
i must have kept on dragging
through the business of the day and without really knowing anything I hid
a part of me away at five I must have left there's no exception to the rule
a matter of routine I've done it ever since
i finished school the train back home again undoubtedly
i must have read the evening paper then
oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame the day before you came
i must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
and stopped along the way to buy some chinese food to go
i'm sure I had my dinner watching something on tv there's not,
i think, a single episode of dallas that I didn't see
i must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
i need a lot of sleep and so I like to be in bed by then
i must have read a while the latest one by marilyn french or something in that style
it's funny but I had no sense of living without aim
the day before you came
and turning out the light
i must have yawned and cuddled up to yet another night
and rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
the day before you came

I Like This

Share our coffee share my thoughts I could wait for years
I don't know if you're an angel or I'm just feeling weird
I like this picture but I don't want to work to hard and I ask you for a number
You say "hey, baby if I'm an angel maybe you should take my card"

Baby I got time for you but can you thrill me? really thrill me
Baby I got time for you but can you thrill me? really thrill me

I'm not silence into hiding I want the words you say
And if it seems we take the same, well...when I feel lucky, I feel lucky

Baby I got time for you, yeah if you do me, really do me
Baby I got time for you, yeah if you show me, really show me

Oh, well, I like this one
Oh, yeah, well I like this one
I-I-I like this one
Yeah, yeah, I like this one yeah

I Knew You

I wore a watch today it didn't tell me the time
I saw your face today I knew you'd see through mine
Does it help a lot? to see I'm on the spot never understood

But I knew you yea I knew you
But I knew you yea I knew you

I heard your voice today turn into what is best
I felt your soft caress turn into something less
Don't make me sound alive don't make me sound a - hurt
Don't make me, make - believe

'cause I knew you yea I knew you
Yes I knew you yea I knew you

It doesn't make me lie doesn't make you wise
Do not analyse 'cos I'd always cry
Does it help a lot just to see you through 'cos, I'll never know

But I knew you yea I knew you
But I knew you yea I knew you
La la la la la la ah la la la la la la ah

Nobody would know your name nobody would know your name
Is anybody know his name ...I knew you
