COME FOLLOW ME

Come follow me my son

I'll show you things that you have never seen
I'll take you places that you have never been

The dreams I have in my mind give me hope for today
But the nightmares in this world make me want to hideaway

Come follow me my son

There are so many subjects that we've not touched as yet
And so many sights that you won't ever forget

The dreams I have in my mind give me hope for today
But the nightmares in this world make me want to hideaway

Come follow me my son

I'll tell you about the world and all that's wonderful
But I can't tell you my son why man can be so cruel

The dreams I have in my mind give me hope for today
But the nightmares in this world make me want to hideaway

Hideaway

MAKE YOUR CHOICE

Is there anyone who says goodnight like I do?
And is there anyone who'll stand and fight
To honour you?

Well I know it's a choice to make
But I'm urging you to put me in first place
Because I'll be true to you

And is there anyone who has the time to listen?
Is there anyone who treats you right
Not always hurting you?

Well I know it's a choice to make
But I urge you to write me at the top of your list
Because I need you to

WINTER DAYS

The snow beneath my feet
The ice, the cold, the wind, the rain and sleet
And spring will push the clouds of doubt away
It makes me look forward to those summer days

Look for the sun
(Sun, sun, look for the sun)
Now those winter days are here
Look for the sun
(Sun, sun, look for the sun)
Now those winter days are here

There's darkness all around
You'll see the light of day
When sunshine hits the ground
And spring will push the clouds of doubt away
It makes me look forward to those summer days

Look for the sun
(Sun, sun, look for the sun)
Now those winter days are here
Look for the sun
(Sun, sun, look for the sun)
Now those winter days are here

And spring will push the clouds of doubt away
It makes me look forward to those summer days

Look for the sun
(Sun, sun, look for the sun)
Now those winter days are here
Look for the sun
(Sun, sun, look for the sun)
Now those winter days are here

Now those winter days are here

FALL FOR ME

No words spoken
My tongue is frozen
Why should I fear your rejection
When I can't get your attention?

One look don't mean anything
Blank stares don't count
One look don't mean anything
Blank stares don't count

My hands are shaking
Missed the chance I should have taken
Though you see me I can't catch your eye
To you I'm another passer by

One look don't mean anything
Blank stares don't count
One look don't mean anything
Blank stares don't count

WALK AWAY

I can see you walking down that street towards me
Pretend not to see me if you like
I've always been afraid of the moment
When I catch your eye

I'm dying to say goodbye

Should we talk about the weather today?
Or should we talk about how well you're doing?
Isn't it cold for the month of May?
Or should I tell you that I'd like to walk away?

I'm dying to say goodbye

SO HERE I AM

Time, time waits for no-one
And here I am still watching the clock
Time, time waits for no-one
And here I am still sitting in the dark

Here I am

You, you in your own way
You made the right choice when it was time to choose
Some, some always win the game
But some like me without the loaded dice are made to lose

Here I am

I'll make it on my own
It's not that I want to be alone
But better that than sad
And solitude can't be that bad

So cheers for those far off days
All I have left from them is a few photographs
Time, time isn't kind at all I'll forget those tears I cried for you
Because I knew it would never last

Here I am

DON'T THINK OF ME

You said it's about time to leave
(And don't you know it's a relief)
Yes I could not have put it better
I even opened up the door!
(I just don't like you anymore)
You left me angry, sad and bitter

Don't think of me while you're standing in the rain
Because your head is full of doubt now you're gone
Don't think of me while you're standing in the rain
Because your head is full of doubt now you're gone

And so I've been set free at last
(Finally rid you from my past)
To start a new life that I've wanted
But girl don't turn up on my door
(You are not welcome anymore)
Because I shall feel that I am haunted

Don't think of me while you're standing in the rain
Because your head is full of doubt now you're gone
Don't think of me while you're standing in the rain
Because your head is full of doubt now you're gone

AN OLD FLAME

How could I ever ignore?
The way you looked at me just then
It felt like once before

A hundred memories spark a flame
It felt as if I was in love again

I tried so hard to look away
Didn't want to catch your eye
Emotions were rekindled
And I knew the reason why

A thousand memories spark a flame
It felt as if I was in love again

As if I was in love again

IN YOUR SHOES

Don't ever think to ask
I'd never take your task
You shouldn't pass to me
Responsibility

Don't ask me what I'd do if I was in your shoes

It's not that I am weak
Or I'd turn the other cheek
Because it's you that must preserve
The continuity

Don't ask me what I'd do if I was in your shoes

Please don't get me wrong I know that I belong
But it's not my job to keep
The peace and tranquility

Don't ask me what I'd do if I was in your shoes

I REMAIN

I hope you're happy with the flowers I sent
And the message on the card I meant
Will you forgive me after all this time?
Because I still think of you as mine

And I remain sat within these four walls
I remain as lonely as I was before
I remain in hope that you'll give me a call
I remain...
Yours

I hope you're pleased with all those chocolates I bought
There isn't a day when I don't give you a thought
And though I've heard you're seeing someone else
It's not news that I want you to myself

And I remain sat within these four walls
I remain as lonely as I was before
I remain in hope that you'll give me a call
I remain...
Yours

I'm still yours

A lonely figure on a windswept cliff!

INDEPENDENCE

She was drained and bitter
And said "I'll not return"
Well I can't live without her
I guess I'll have to learn

I don't know why she has gone away
All I know is that she's going to stay there
I don't know why she has gone away
All I know is that she's going to stay there

Strong were accusations
I didn't tell her lies
Resisted the temptation
But she bid her goodbyes

I don't know why she has gone away
All I know is that she's going to stay there
I don't know why she has gone away
All I know is that she's going to stay there

UNDERSTAND

Things are not what they appear to be
So don't you fret or worry
And put your arms around me

Don't cry
Don't let's fight
Listen and understand

Rumours circulate that I'm the guilty one
But petty jealousy won't help
To account for what I've done

Don't cry
Don't let's fight
Listen and understand

GOOD INTENTIONS

I savoured every word that you had ever spoken
But now I've learnt the truth that they were said as tokens

It wasn't that you'd lied
(Although I feel so hurt inside)
It's what you have implied
You're full of good intentions

I worshipped the very ground that you had ever stepped on But now I realise that it is me you have conned

It wasn't that you'd lied
(Although I feel so hurt inside)
It's what you have implied
You're full of good intentions

You're full of good intentions

HEART OF STEEL

Take my hand and I'll show you a spot
Where pacifism is crime but murder's not

How many tears cried to break your heart of steel?
How many tears does it take to move you?
To move you

A thousand men draw their last breath
Sacrificed to save your life
They wait for death

How many tears cried to break your heart of steel?
How many tears does it take to move you?
To move you

COME TO ME NOW

Please don't disappoint
That'd be hard to take
I've pinned my hopes on you
Accept me for my sake

I'm needing you right now
But I don't know how
I've practised a thousand times
And I know what I will say

Come to me now
The fear is gone and I'm okay
Come to me now
Forget about my troubles from today
But you don't know what it's been like
No you don't know what it's been like

It's been far too long
Since someone's said those words
Defence from being hurt has lifted instantly
Could you be the one?
I wish I could be sure
If you're really wanting me
Then I know what I will say

Come to me now
The fear is gone and I'm okay
Come to me now
Forget about my troubles from today
But you don't know what it's been like
No you don't know what it's been like

CAPTIVATED

I want to speak to you but it's hard
To say the words that I mean within
They fall from my mouth just like a rock
I must admit I don't know where to begin

But something struck me from the start
And now you've captured my heart
I'm captivated by your smile

I'm really nervous yes it's true
I shake a thousand times just thinking of you
So please please please accept my invitation
I couldn't stand the pain of your rejection

But something struck me from the start
And now you've captured my heart
I'm captivated by your smile

DON'T PRETEND YOU LOVE ME

I can see I'm not unaware
Of things you do when I'm not here
I will know when you're unfair
So don't pretend that you love me

Ever since my time of birth
I've watched and learned all on this earth
Don't treat me as if I'm unconcerned
Don't pretend you love

You might think the time you've spent
Can whitewash all the lies you've said
I knew those words were never meant

So don't pretend that you love me
No don't pretend that you love me

WE DON'T TALK

You may think you are the only one
Who's ever experienced the strain
But I can tell you that I've felt it too
And I can help to ease your pain

But we won't talk about it
We won't talk about it
We won't talk about it too often

If you're needing any comfort
I can provide you all you want
But it's not good to keep things to yourself
Because you can't survive them on your own

But we won't talk about it
We won't talk about it
We don't talk about it too often

YOU NEVER CALL

We'd walk together hand in hand
That is why I can't understand
When you were so in love with me
Or so I thought that you were happy

But something changed your mind and how
And you don't want to know me now
You never call when I need you
You never call when I want you
You never call when I need you
You never call when I want you

I always thought that we'd stay friends
And we'd be together to the end
And I wished that you'd be true
And I would remain beside you

But something changed your mind and how
And you don't want to know me now
You never call when I need you
You never call when I want you
You never call when I need you
You never call when I want you

You never call
(When I need you, when I need you)
You never call
(When I want you, when I want you)
You never call
(When I need you, when I need you)
You never call
(When I want you, when I want you)

I'm so lonely

WEAK

Manufactured glamour is the key
Entice the fans to part with their money

You've no talent of which to speak
And the image is so weak

Squalid drug stories attract the press
Because the music holds no interest

You've no talent of which to speak
And the image is so weak

You've no talent of which to speak
And the image is so weak

TIME TO MOVE ON

In this life I need to be needed
And in my time I want to be wanted
And since it's plain
You are lost for words again
Silence is the cue for me to do what I must do

Time, time to move on

No I can't find what I'm looking for
And if I stayed it's only myself I've betrayed
I'm in a rut
I've offered everything I've got
But you won't take no more
It's time for me to close this door

Time, time to move on
