Only A Dream 03:36
lyrics
buy track
My life is yearning for something, I require some, Success or redress, into some happy jolly, Feeling I’m reeling a shark into my small boat, Lonely the ocean, the coastline, is far away from me. I know this, I know this. I am so scared now I’m drifting away from land, Unknown the life forms underneath me, my heart stops, I see you near me I smile, cos it’s only a dream I see you near me I smile, cos it’s only a dream Only a dream, only, only Making me scream, only, only Only a dream, only only Making me scream… My mind is racing, I’m pacing around this small place, I have no feeling, I’m numbing, my pain has been erased, It’s only dreaming, but it’s seeming that I won’t awake, I test the water, it’s deeper, than my first ideas, I know this, Iknow this I’m sinking down now I’m thinking this lead suit is fixed, Onto my body, it’s on me, I can’t escape I have no magic tricks, I see you near me I smile, cos it’s only a dream I see you near me I smile, cos it’s only a dream Only a dream, only, only Making me scream, only, only Only a dream, only only Making me scream…

Your Man (Kirsty's Song) 04:11
lyrics

I could not resist those eyes That look deep into mine And the way she touches me Damn she’s so fine The moment when I kissed those lips I couldn’t love in I knew that something special Was to begin But I could see the doubt in her eyes If she only knew how I feel inside Won’t you trust me because of what I am But what you should is I’m your man I am your man I’m your man x 4 I get into bed and think About her all the night I am losing sleep, I’m hoping My lady is alright She has to realise how much I need her and I care She must trust in me and I I must trust her Won’t you trust me because of what I am But what you should is I’m your man I am your man I’m your man x 1,000,000

Like You're On Fire 04:34
lyrics
buy track
Do you know what I’m feeling right now inside? Do you know if the choices made are always right? Do you go out to places and forget where you are? Do you meet only faces not the names from the bar? Do you put on a brave face when you’re feeling scared? Have you ever loved broke up and pretend you never cared? Do you lie to your friends to protect them from the truth? Do you lie to your friends, pretend you did something you couldn’t do Do you live life, like you’re on fire? Do you live life, out of control? Do you live life, out on the edge? Do you live life, like you’re on fire? Like you’re on fire….. Do you kiss me goodnight ‘cos it’s just what you do? Do you only read the paper don’t really see the news? Do you lie to your family just to save their concern? Do you spend too much money like there’s money to burn? Do you live life, like you’re on fire? Do you live life, out of control? Do you live life, out on the edge? Do you live life, like you’re on fire? Like you’re on fire…..

Too Beautiful 03:52
lyrics

Just a normal guy with his beady eye On a super sexy girl Just drink your juice don’t be obtuse He keeps telling himself, telling himself I could walk right up and ask I could walk right up But I would be denied Can’t decide Would I be denied? Oh, You’re too beautiful You’re too beautiful You’re too beautiful You’re too beautiful And oh what if she said yes then I could confess? And oh I dream of her at night I would hold her tight So he sits and stares she seems to have no cares Especially for just a normal guy So typical for a guy like he He just sits there and stares Well I could walk right up and ask But would I be denied? Oh, You’re too beautiful You’re too beautiful You’re too beautiful You’re too beautiful And oh what if she said yes then I could confess? And oh I dream of her at night I would hold her tight And oh what if she said yes then I could confess? And oh I dream of her at night I would hold her tight You’re too You’re too You’re too beautiful

Take my felony throw it all away Take my problems make them go away Do you lie to yourself? Do you lie to yourself? Take my principles throw them all away Glass half empty pour the rest away Do you lie to yourself? Do you lie to yourself? Are you fading away? Into dark shades of grey Are you fading away? Are you wasting away? Take my dignity throw it all away Strip me naked put me on display Do you lie to yourself? Do you lie to yourself? Are you fading away? Into dark shades of grey Are you fading away? Are you wasting away?

Ride The Train 03:39

Did I see last time was it you in my face Did I cross the red line or did I talk to you with grace Did you wanna touch me or was I touching you? Did you need something or did you wanna pay your dues? Do it don’t be scared Ride the train, ride the train. In this way, in this way, Ride the train, ride the train. In this way What’s happening now, we’re losing control Going downhill now, baba badababababa Need to regain composure, regain regain Or just let it go and just watch it fly Ride the train, ride the train. In this way, in this way, Ride the train, ride the train. In this way Solo Ride the train, ride the train. In this way, in this way, Ride the train, ride the train. In this way

Walk On Eternally (Live) 03:09
lyrics
buy track
On the dark night the rain fell on your body in your eyes You said to me your history was all that is left inside Was it the rain ran down my face or was it tears of disgrace Did you appear for just a trace of what it felt like to be loved? What it felt like to be loved? The iron rule is all I knew the days passed by but seldom flew, I caught your eye you made a smile, the wonder started as I fell Deeper into realms of pain, I did not realise till too late Desire to cry attacked my eyes, as you walked away instinctively You walked away instinctively Oh and as I walked away from you I took the time that I once knew I stored it in my memory, to never forget the hurt you see Oh but I will never forget this time, the days that passed that were sublime The life we shared that was so fine, the life that ended finally The life that ended finally As I walk on throughout my life I will be a father will have a wife I know I can get out of strife if I escape with dignity It’s not so hard with time it heals, I know right now just how it feels Life moves on you make new deals as I walk on eternally As I walk on eternally As I walk on eternally As I walk on eternally

The Passion 04:53

Awake to mystery, where is this bed I lay? Strange things surround me, I can’t remember yesterday My head is aching from the night before I hear her footsteps approaching the door Who could it be this? This is unbelievable How’d I get here? This is unbelievable Did we make love? This is unbelievable Heaven above? The Passion x 4 Oh dancing close at the club all night Party time everything is alright Taxi back your place or mine? Back to yours for a really good time The door it opens she walks into see My memory fails me I try to smile pleasantly Oh my-my bluff is failing, I don’t know her name Why did she test me? Why could I not explain? Who could it be this? This is unbelievable How’d I get here? This is unbelievable Did we make love? This is unbelievable Heaven above? The Passion x 4 Oh dancing close at the club all night Bunnytime everything is alright Taxi back your place or mine? Back to yours for a really good time Oh dancing close at the club all night Party time everything is alright Taxi back your place or mine? Back to yours for a really good time

Boredom Killer 04:01
lyrics

I light up a cigarette flame it flickers, can’t forget, The good times and the things I’ve done, embers red fill my lungs, Watch the burning round and round, as I inhale a crackling sound Slowly I just kill my self, suicide off the shelf The ash falls down upon the floor like my spirits, I’m so bored, My mind works fast but there’s no need, the day is young passes without speed, Wishing away all my life, just to escape this mental strife The toxins they fill my brain my activities numb and lame Ooh don’t you leave my mind, seek an you shall find Ooh don’t leave my mind, boredom has taken me, taken me blind Entertain me, something has to change I wish my life away, this I must rearrange Is it my destiny to take all of this pain? Entertain me, something has to change I need my boredom killer Throw the but on the floor, look around for something to see Something to do, something for me There is nothing here to do, boredom stabs me I feel subdued I reach in my pocket for my cure, my boredom it’s a law Ooh don’t you leave my mind, seek an you shall find Ooh don’t leave my mind, boredom has taken me, taken me blind Entertain me, something has to change I wish my life away, this I must rearrange Is it my destiny to take all of this pain? Entertain me, something has to change I need my boredom killer

If I would be fine taking my time Then I’d underline, I’d give you a sign It’s all in my head, all the success, All you could love, all that would impress Everybody says I will fail if I don’t make the grade Well I can’t take it anymore I can’t take it anymore Everybody says that I’ve made a very big mistake Well I can’t take it anymore I can’t take it anymore Take me away, undo my pain I don’t feel alive, it’s all in vain Cos all that I want I’m told I can’t gain Feeling so trapped, I’m going insane Everybody says I will fail if I don’t make the grade Well I can’t take it anymore I can’t take it anymore Everybody says that I’ve made a very big mistake I can’t take it anymore I can’t take it anymore I can’t take it no more I can’t take it anymore Help me please I don’t want these people prodding me Well I can’t take it anymore I can’t take it anymore I can’t take it anymore I can’t take it no more

Day After Day 03:34

Day after day The ships they roll into the docks by the bay Unload their cargo then sail away Nomad machines, nowhere to stay Day after day Park the car and grab my kit for my stay Live in a suitcase then pack it away Load up the car go on my way Day after day Day after day Get out of bed and go to work on the train Miss the bus and have to walk in the rain Redundancy claim, it’s all in vain Day after day Do what they say Monotony Just break away I am breaking away Don’t care what they say it feels so good Feels so right I get good vibes Day after day To thine ownself be true in every way If times are bad then change it now don’t delay Or you will decay Don’t waste away
