Don't Go

Came in from the city walked into the door
I turned around when I heard the sound of footsteps on the floor
love just like addiction now I'm hooked on you
I need some time to get it right
your love gonna see me through

Chorus:
Can't stop now don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
don't go

baby make your mind up give me what you got
fix me with your lovin' shut the door and turn the lock
hey go get the doctor, doctor came too late
another night I feel alright my love for you can't wait

(chorus)

came in from the city walked into the door
I turned around when I heard the sound of footsteps on the floor
said he was a killer, now I know it's true I'm dead when you walkout the door
hey babe I'm hooked on you

(chorus) 

don't go, don't go, don't go... 

Too Pieces

Write me a letter a face in the hall 
hiding from someone afraid of the fall 
and she's waiting for someone to take her back to where she came from 
and she'll wait alone for hours she won't mind because there's someone 
in the story she remembers she remembers in the letter 
and the tears locked up inside her make her heart break open wider 
shuts her eyes and takes the picture from the wall

Bad Connection

Morning this morning the curtains are shut
I'll ring you in the morning but the phone's been cut
can you hear me I've been calling all day
can you hear me
the radio reporter said the line's all dead
he told me that I oughta write a letter instead
can you hear I've been calling all day
can you hear me

Chorus:
I'd wish they'd fix the wires cause my baby won't know
that I'm leaving in the morning and I'm ready to go
can you hear me
can you hear me at all
gotta get the operator make a telephone call

and if I write a letter it won't get there on time
I'll only reach you baby on the telephone line
can you hear me
I've been calling all day
can you hear me
my car's already and my bags are all packed
I'm late already and I won't be back
can you hear me
I've been calling all day
can you hear me

repeat chorus

ooo can you hear me

Midnight

midnight it's raining outside he must soaking wet
everyone is sleeping tight
god knows I tried my best
darling you know it looks bad
just lost the best thing that I ever had
still I don't know why I did him wrong
it's too late now he's gone to say

Chorus:
baby oh no, can't leave me now
said think about it please
cos I love you and I need you
and I should have thought of that before I did you wrong

heartache, heartache, yeah
when I saw his face I could see how bad I'd let him down
cheating when he was working hard, I just had to mess around
I knew from the start he ain't got much money
I should have stayed content with all that good sweet honey
he's a good strong man and I love him so so how on earth can I let him go

repeat chorus

and now it's midnight it's raining outside
and I'm soaking wet, still looking for that man of mine
and I ain't found him yet
well all of this rain can wash away my tears
but nothing can replace all of those wasted years
in all of this I tell you I have learnt
playing with fire gets you burnt
and I'm still burning

repeat chorus

you say you'll lose your pride
well don't you know dear, don't you know
I'll lose so much more if you go now 
oh no...

In My Room

I stand alone and watch the clock
I only wait for it to stop
and in the room locked up inside me
the cutout magazines remind me
I sit and wait alone in my room

and in my room against the wall
there is picture very small
a photograph I took some years ago
it shows a picture of the room I know
I sit and wait alone in my room

chorus
the walls are white and in the night
the room is lit by electric light

I stand and watch the clock
I only wait for it to stop
the doors are shut and all the windows lock
the only sound is from the clock
I sit and wait alone in my room

repeat chorus

Only You

looking from a window above, it's like a story of love
can you hear me
came back only yesterday
I'm moving further away
want you near me

Chorus:
all I needed was the love you gave
all I needed for another day
and all I ever knew
only you

sometimes when I think of her name when it's only a game
and I need you
listen to the words that you say it's getting harder to stay
when I see you

(chorus)

this is going to take a long time and I wonder what's mine
can't take no more
wonder if you'll understand it's just the touch of your hand
behind a closed door

(chorus)

Goodbye Seventies

To your credit to the thirty faces you created
to your headache to the shape of the 1980's
I'm glad that we don't hear you any more
I'm tired of playing in your fashion war

To the lights to the trend setting in your head
sunday nights tear from the youth cults already dead
I'm glad that we don't hear you and more
I'm tired of fighting in your fashion war

Chorus
goodbye seventies

To your credit to the thirty faces you created
to your subscription for the million copies of 1980
I'm glad that we don't hear you any more
I'm tired of losing in your fashion war

(chorus)

Situation

blue eyed dressed for every situation
moving through the doorway of a nation
pick me up and shake the doubt
baby I can't do without

Chorus:
move out, don't mess around
move out, you bring me down
move out, how you get about
don't make a sound just move out

I remember only for an hour
move right through me can you feel the power
I don't know what's going on
it scares me but it won't take long

repeat chorus 

now he's in control he is my lover
nations stand against him he's your brother
been a long time, been a long time now
I'll get to you somehow

repeat chorus

Winter Kills

Green in your love on bright days
you grew sun blind you thought me unkind
to remind you how winter kills
lost in daydreams you drove too fast and got nowhere
you rode on half fare when you got too scared
how winter kills
tear at me searching for weaker seams
pain in your eyes make me cruel
make me spiteful tears are delightful welcome your nightfall
how winter kills
I'll tear at you searching for weaker seams
how winter kills

Bring Your Love Down (Didn't I)

You say it's time to leave now babe I can't believe
that you have the strength to go now
I won't stand in your way
I'd be standing there all day
ain't that something we both know now
you play your games but the fact remains
I'm the only one that can hold your reins

chorus
didn't I bring your love down
didn't I bring your love down all night

if you think you need a change well I'm sure we can arrange
for all you to get on your own for a while
but I don't need to worry cause you'll get back in a hurry
I know that you like my style
you play your games but the fact remains
I'm the only one that can hold your reins

chorus
