I was born on the wrong side of the river
Where the sun never shone on my brass Though the seasons were rapidly changing Oh the best things were coming too fast I was waving the flag of indifference Never knowing the real reason why Casting doubt on my uncertain future It was time for a sudden goodbye I was born on the wrong side of the river Where the sun never shone on my breast Though the seasons were rapidly changing Oh the best things were coming too fast |

Little whizz kid mystified me, she was a New York City beat She came on flash - monster mash, motors in her feet Now we moved out of Manhattan to her home on the Brooklyn Heights Her dad's a street punk and her mum's a drunk, but we made out alright Far far from home, oh I felt so alone Could not spin to the speed of the city Oh send me my ticket, I'm too scared to stick She even hired a toy "rent-a-boy" straight from a Times Square stand With my little whizz kid - such a pity Oh thank you little whizz kid, but me and my friends gotta eat Now she really tried her hardest just to make me leave the band street So get back to school or the tying pool, just get yourself out on the Send you victorious, happy and glorious You got the stardust, the sawdust, and the smile Oh my little whizz kid you got such a style Don't lose your sting, how I'd hate you to swing Watch out for the auto-mite, quick or she's outta sight She's a cute super sleeper, she don't dive in deeper A natural leaper, she don't let people pass Oh my whizz kid, you know you're such a gas Such a gas |

Another late night drags on Just one more drink But you know I'm wrong Sooner or later When everyone's gone You just shake your head And take my hand You seem to know what it takes me Time to tell But then you know me Suprprises me how well You make me an offer That I can't refuse Take my arm and walk away {Chorus}: Help me find my way home Along this rocky road 'Cause I can't carry on Will you head me to my bed Ease my aching head Take me where I belong Sometimes you smile At the clothes that I wear You listen to reason When I just don't care It's bringing me down Then I start to fall You catch my heart And I don't let it go {Chorus} As I see you lay your head I'm glad it's next to mine, mine, whoa {Chorus} [2x] Take me home Take me home |

Standin' there, a shadow in the hall
I'm hopin' that it might be you, but it wasn't anyone at all I can still remember the way things were If I could only bring you back, then I wouldn't need to say a word When we made love, it felt so strong, I remember We were so much in love, where did our love go wrong Remembering the things we used to say The memories are drifting by, but the pain is here to stay And it's no illusion, I'm a lock without a key I'm only livin' half a life, without you here with me When we made love, a love that felt so strong, I still remember We were so deep in love, where did our love go wrong (solo) I can feel every touch again, as real as it is crazy And I kiss every kiss again, so tender they amaze me I live through the end again, feeling like I'm dying And then I touch my cheek, realize I'm crying When we made love, a love so strong, and I remember We were so deep in love, so tell me, where did our love go wrong When we made love, we belong together It's those nights I'm dreaming of, they'll stay with me, they'll last forever When we made love |

All I do is sit and think And the days go by I don't remember anything And yesterday becomes tomorrow And I can see the day after tomorrow I can even see next year When my mind's gone When my mind's gone And the time goes fast And the shadows fly away If this feeling lasts Then I won't have to find a thing to say What once was clean is now unclean What once was straight is now unstraight What once was free is now unfree What once was cold is now uncold What once was me is now not me When my mind's gone When both my minds gone When all of my mind's gone When my mind's gone So I'll take my secrets I'll take them with me to my grave And if I'm taking yours Then I will try to make it safe There ain't nothing going right There ain't even nothing going wrong that's right And day is day And night ain't night And night is day And day is night And spring is summer And autumn's winter When my mind's gone When my mind's gone When my mind's gone Everything's gone When my mind's gone When my mind's gone When my mind's gone When my mind's gone |

Your blood flows like the finest juice - the kiss of burgundy And where it comes from no one knows, but where it's going i can't see Angeline, oh my angeline My sweet angeline - (y'know) you have rendered me unseen I would cry a million smiles for my indian city queen Angeline, oh my angeline You little angeline - you have rendered me unseen I would cry a million smiles for my indian city queen And your crystal-coloured cardboard bins - attack me from the paint And i think that i am getting lost among the swollen states Oh rescue me or bury me, for i care not what you do There is just one thing that i want to say am i really you Angeline, oh my angeline My sweet angeline - you have rendered me unseen I would cry a million smiles for my indian city queen |

Just done some living - still got the pain.
Ain't done much giving - just my name Ride on my son, that cold steel rail. Still following you, oh lord I wanna try and lose this iron bail. Ride on the sun, ride on the sun, until you break. And the City doctor's - try to see. There's a future - left for me. So I show them the rainbows, they're too colour blind. I'm hard to find, oh lord give me the strength so I can speak. Ride the sun, ride on the sun, until you break. Oh Undertaker - switch off your TV I don't know who's dead - Is it you or is it me For your calculations, Innocent eyes (?) You are in doubt, on lord I'm trying to find out just where I am Ride on the sun, ride on the sun, until I break. |

The original mixed-up kid
Sleeps with the ladies all night Home in the morning light To nothin' Climbs in to an empty bed Pillows around his head Hide the tears he sheds For no one And Byron said Happiness is born its twin In those who share, for they will always win But what about the man who tries so hard But his heart is locked within The original mixed-up kid Must have been at the end of the line When they gave out the forms to sign For someone And he can't make up his mind where he wants to go Ain't there a heaven ain't there a hell well he just don't know For in a crowded street he can see the sleet When the other men just see the snow The original mixed-up kid be on your conscience bound (?)

(Written by Simon Kirke)
If I kissed you when you least expect it And take you in my arms, just accept it If I tell you you're what my life's about I'm only loving you out loud When I call you up on the telephone And tell you that I'm feeling oh so alone I wanna love you dear inside out(?) I'm only loving you out loud The times that we spent together Are the best that I've ever known No matter what the future may bring, baby It's loving you from now on, oh baby If I kissed you when you least expect it And take you in my arms, just accept it If I tell you you're what my life's about, yeah I'm only loving you out loud You know I'm only loving you out loud |

You hit me with a body blow, you hit me fast, then you hit me slow
You knock me out with the way you look You have me hanging, baby, on your hook I think about you all day and all night, my friends all swear I'm going insane Now I don't care who is wrong or who's right, 'cos you're the cure for my pain Chorus: I'm coming down with a love attack, I surrender, I can't turn back Coming down with a love attack, stay with me the rest of my life Lay a little love on me You don't know what you've done to me You hit me hard, but you still can't see I need your love every single night, I don't know why it feels so right I got the fever, I sure got it bad, you touch me and my heart catches fire I can't find it, you're driving me mad, you send my temperature higher (chorus) - and make a little love (solo) Every thought seems to lead to you, I can't decide what I'm gonna do There's only one thing that can put this right I'm gonna tell you how I feel tonight I got the fever, I sure got it bad, you touch me and my heart catches fire I can't find it, it's driving me mad, you send my temperature higher (chorus) I'm coming down with a love attack, coming down I'm coming down, there's no turning back, coming down (chorus to fade) |

Hello little Martha There you stand with the stems of the roses still in your hand The seasons of time The weather, your face, you little Martha, there's no disgrace So now little Martha, here you live You're just 12 years old, have no time to play The sun don't arise when you're not in my eyes Not a day goes by without you Even though you're looking down on me Tell me angel, will you remember me? Oh little Martha, as I stand at your feet Now while I stand here feeling so sad Because we both know the good times we had So now little Martha, here you live Your life is all gone, no time to play, oh The sun don't arise when you're not in my eyes Not a day goes by without you Even though you're looking down on me Tell me angel The sun don't arise when you're not in my eyes Not a day goes by without you Even though you're looking down on me Tell me angel, will you remember me? Oh little Martha |

My life is like water
And I'm floating in the sea But I have a root in the water And it's reaching, stretching endlessly My love, flying in the sky And far away from the water she lies Sometimes big wave Coming when I'm down But soon I stand on up again {2x} My life is like water And I'm floating in the sea My soul is a stream on the water I was born reaching endlessly |
