English Sunset

We're on a runaway train
Rolling down the track
And where it's taking us to
Who knows where it's at
But, if we hold together,
We can make it back
For an English sunset.
We want an English sunset.

I feel the rhythm of the Earth
In my soul tonight,
May it never fade away
And I've decided I can live
With humility
And the sad decay
'Cos that's the English way.

We keep the faith alive
In everything we do
And, at the end of the road,
We still keep coming through
And, though it's sad and sorry,
What else can we do?
It's an English sunset,
An English sunset.

I feel the rhythm of the Earth
In my soul tonight,
May it never fade away
And I've decided they can wait
For the requiem.
We take it day by day
'Cos that's the English way.
I saw the English sunset.

Haunted

I see you walking through the gates of home
And then I wake up to find I'm still all alone.
I should have known
But, forever more,
I'll be haunted by your love.

Lonely is the river
As it tumbles to the ocean.
Searching for our future,
We can't find our way back home.

My only comfort is the love we shared
And, as I walk through this world
With sadness everywhere,
I've had my share,
And, forever more,
I'll be haunted by your love.

Standing in the doorway
As the sunrise greets the morning,
Searching for our future,
We can't find our way back home.

I really miss you when the nights are long
And only silence is heard in this world of song
But life goes on
And, forever more,
I'll be haunted by your love.

Sooner Or Later (Walkin' On Air)

You got to
Roll with the punches,
Shelter from the weather,
Have no fear of darkness,
Sooner or later ohh...
Sooner or later ohh...
We'll be walkin' on air.

Live for the moment
'Cos life is worth living,
Love will surround you
Sooner or later ohh...
Sooner or later ohh...
We'll be walkin' on air,
We'll be walkin' on air.

Love is out there
Waiting for you
Wearing no disguise,
Nothing left behind close doors,
It's right before your eyes.

So take a walk in the sunshine,
Send a message on your on-line
Then you can do it in your own time
Sooner or later ohh...
Sooner or later ohh...
We'll be walkin' on air,
Walkin on air,
We'll be walkin' on air.

Walk on the water,
Shelter from the weather,
Clear away the storm clouds,
Sooner or later ohh...
Sooner or later ohh...
Sooner or later ohh...
Sooner or later ohh...
Walkin' on air,
Walkin' on air,
We'll be walkin' on air.

Wherever You Are

'Cos tonight will never
Pass this way again.

Wherever you are,
Wherever you go,
Wherever you stand
Let your shadow show.

Whatever you think,
Whatever you do,
Whatever you want
Let your feelings show.

These times have passed and gone
It's time that we moved on
Into a new tomorrow
And leave behind the hurt,
The sorrow and the pain

'Cos tonight will never
Pass this way again.

'Cos tonight will never
Pass this way again.

Just like the winter sun
That hides behind the dawn,
Just like the shifting sands
That ride upon the storm

Tonight will never
Pass this way again.

'Cos tonight will never
Pass this way again.

'Cos tonight will never
Pass this way again.

'Cos tonight will never
Pass this way again.

Foolish Love

We sang to the stars above,
We praised the earth below.
You fell into my arms that night
And I'll never let you go.

It was beautiful, glorious;
We were riding on a wave
With foolish hearts and foolish love
We would give ourselves away.

Remember how we cried out loud,
Heard angry voices shout?
I love you as I loved you then,
No danger and no doubt.

It was beautiful, glorious;
We were riding on a wave
With foolish hearts and foolish love
We would give ourselves away.

And now as we look behind
To see the road of life,
Turning to the ones we love,
Salvation is in sight.

'Cos it was beautiful, glorious;
We were riding on a wave
With foolish hearts and foolish love
We would give ourselves away.

Remember how we cried out loud,
Heard angry voices shout?
I love you as I loved you then,
No danger and no doubt.

Love Don't Come Easy

What have I missed?
What have I done?
I'm gonna turn back the tide
Like it's just begun.

Time changes,
Time changes,
Time changes for the better.

After all we've been through,
Love don't come easy for me.

The way you looked into my eyes
I could see the hurt.
I saw through your disguise,
Just give me time,
I can make it up to you.
Let me heal the pain,
I'm scared of losing you.

What have I missed?
Where have I gone wrong?
If I could turn back the time
So we've just begun.

Time changes,
Time changes,
Time changes for the better.

After all we've been through,
Love don't come easy for me.

What have I missed?
What have I done?
I'm gonna turn back the tide
Like it's just begun.

Time changes,
Time changes,
Time changes for the better.

After all we've been through,
Love don't come easy for me.
Love don't come easy.

After all we've been through,
Love don't come easy for me.
Love don't come easy.

All That Is Real Is You

All of the silver and all of the gold
Seems worthless to me, lifeless and cold,
I've known all the treasure a man can possess
But all that is real is you.

So bring me back home
My love - my love,
Oh how I need you.
Take me back home
My love - my love,
Oh how I love you.

Even the place where my heart used to fly,
The warm summer breeze, the wild seabird's cry,
All are illusions and all just a dream
'Cos all that is real is you.

So bring me back home
My love - my love,
Oh how I need you.
Take me back home
My love - my love,
Oh how I love you.

All over the world I've searched for a dream.
I've found out that life is not what it seems.
I've seen all the wonders the world has to give
But all that is real is you
'Cos all that is real is you.

Strange Times

Years went by, time just fell away,
Love was worshipped like the sun
But, as we arrive at the house of the water sign,
We're living in strange times.

Strange times.
Strange times.

What do we need?
What do we hunger for?
Who holds the secrets, who will know?

Temples of greed
In ruins on the river bed;
Wastelands that lived before the snow.

Time stands still as we race through 
The universe on our way to the sun
And, as we arrive at the  house of the water sign,
We're living in strange times.

Strange times.
Strange times.

It's you and I forever,
We won't be afraid
Even if the stars are falling down, down, down, down, down,
Falling down.

Time stands still as we race through 
The universe on our way to the sun
And, as we arrive at the  house of the water sign,
We're living in strange times.

Strange times.

Words You Say

I hear you every night,
I listen but the words don't seem right.
My mind seems somewhere else.
What else can I tell you?

I don't know what to do.
I'm losing you.

Something I can't control,
You are in my heart and soul.

I don't want to wake up now.
I don't want to wake up now.
I don't want to wake up now.
I don't want to wake up now.

Words you say to me,
I'm living in fantasy.
I don't know what it is,
I simply ignore you.

I hear you ever night,
I listen but the time is never right.
My life is so confused,
What more can I tell you?

Don't turn and walk away,
Don't leave this way,
Something I can't control,
You are in my heart and soul.

I don't want to wake up now.
I don't want to wake up now.

My Little Lovely

Always believe and never doubt
That wizards cast their spells about.
There's such a lot, you won't lose count
If you look closely.

Ripples are like dreams
Searching for the shore.
Poured together, make oceans roar,
Night visions make spirits soar
So choose one wisely.

Not all angels can grow wings,
They seem to soar by other means.
You can fly, although it seems
A little slowly.

Fairy tales sometimes come true,
Use fairy dust and pixie glue
Then all the love will stick to you
My little lovely.

Ripples are like dreams
Searching for the shore.
Poured together, make oceans roar,
Night visions make spirits soar
My little lovely.

Forever Now

If it could be,
If it could be
It would be forever now.

If we could be here forever
Where in this world would heaven be?
As we race across the universe in search of confirmation

Why can't it be,
Why can't it be,
Why can't it be forever now.

There's no way out.
There is no return.
There's no way back.
There's no way to learn.
The final act,
The curtain falls
On the stage.
On the stage.

Standing at the crossroads
Waiting for the new millennium.

For, if it could be,
If it could be,
It would be forever now.
If we could live forever
Where would our dreams lead us to?
Living in a children's world
Of simple fascination?

If it could be,
If it could be
It would be forever now.

If it could be,
If it could be
It would be forever now.

For, if it could be,
If it could be
It would be forever now.

If it could be,
If it could be
It would be forever now.

The One

Heard you had a story to tell,
Sold your soul in a kiss-and-tell,
Sliding down on a helter skelter ride
Into yesterday.

No way out: the price of fame
Once it's told will you be the same,
Rolling down on a roller coaster ride
We'll be waiting for you.

No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one again.
No surprise
No surprise
That you wanna be the one.
No surprise
You wanna be the one.

Shock the world with your fall from grace,
Glory days gone without a trace.
No surprise you're a face without a name
But we all still love you.

No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one again.
No surprise
No surprise
That you wanna be the one.
No surprise
You wanna be the one.

It's time to tell you
We're faithful and true,
Take us back to the days
When we could dream
'Cos it makes us happy.

No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one again.

No surprise
No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one.

No surprise
No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one again.

No surprise
No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one.

No surprise
No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one.

The Swallow

It's so strange,
Life in the really slow lane.
Take it easy,
That's what we'll do,
Just me and you.

In the wide outside
See the swallow as he glides
Like a spiral up to freedom.

We're all right,
Maybe get lucky tonight.
Only lovers feel like we do.

We take our time,
Leave all our worries behind.
No more mind games, 
Simple and true.
That's what we'll do.

In the wide outside
See the swallow as he glides
Like a spiral up to freedom.

Time goes by,
Seems like the blink of an eye.
It's so crazy,
What can we do?

It's so strange,
Life in the really slow lane.
Take it easy,
That's what we'll do,
Just me and you.

That's what we'll do,
Just me and you.

That's what we'll do,

Nothing Changes

1984 was a year to fear:
Hope was dead, a police state here;
Halley's Comet was to fly by
And we would see a shining in the night sky.

Now 2001 is soon to come
And just as soon will have come and gone.
Nothing changes,
Standing at the crossroads
Of what is, will be, and was,
The obvious eludes us.
Not because the zeroes line up
We should change our way of thought
More, if we do not, the way ahead
Is dangerously fraught
And, if we did the things we all know to be right,
Left would be the childish fears
Of danger in the night.

We, each of us are fine,
For we have all heard the word
But, grouped together,
Babel's triumph stampedes
The thoughtless herd.
Nothing changes.

Nothing changes
And nothing stays the same
And life is still
A simple game.
