I'm Coming Back

(Oakey/Wright)

Funny sometimes how you let
The little things
Get in yhour way
Funny how you just can't talk
Although sometimes
You've got so much to say
Silly when you know you've got the thing
That everybody
Needs so bad
Stupid if you let those jealous people
Telling lies
Make you sad

I thought I heard a voice
Telling me go home
No need to run no more
needn't be alone

I don't care what you do
I'm coming back
I can look forward too
I'm coming back

Crazy feelings that you get
Sometimes they make you
Want to run away
The provocation that you let
Overcome you
When you ought to stay

I thought I saw her face
In every single crowd
I heard her voice again
calling me aloud

I don't care what you do
I'm coming back
I can look forward too
I'm coming back

I thought I never could
Return where I belong
But with her waiting there
I knew I could be strong

I don't care what you do
I'm coming back
I can look forward too
I'm coming back
I don't care what you do
I'm coming back
I can look forward too
I'm coming back

I Love You Too Much

(Burden/Callis/Wright)

We talked and talked and talked and talked for hours
An ocean or two couldn't keep me away from you
We spoke about the time and place of our first meeting
Without a word I know you knew that I cared about you

I love you too much
I love you too much
I love you too much
I love you too much

Been one too many lonely nights without you
On one too many trains and boats and 'planes
I spent a thousand nights alone before I met you
And I'll spend many more until we meet again

I love you too much
I love you too much
I love you too much
I love you too much

Lyrics by Philip Adrian Wright

Rock Me Again And Again (Six Times)

(J. Brown/L. Austin)

Take your time and make me love you good
Take your time and make me love you good
Take your time and make me love you good
Take your time and make me love you good

Love me 'til I want no more
Make me feel the spirit 'til I have to go

Rock me again and again and again and again
and again and again
Rock me again and again and again and again
and again and again
Rock me again and again and again and again
and again and again
Rock me again and again and again and again
and again and again

Show me what you feel when you hold me close
Let me see you twist and give me a sexy dose

Rock me again and again and again and again
and again and again
Rock me again and again and again and again
and again and again
Rock me again and again and again and again
and again and again
Rock me again and again and again and again
and again and again

Rock me baby, make my face get soaking wet
Rock me, Lord baby, 'bout to work me to death
Rock me baby, like my back ain't got no bone
Rock me good, good bad, then leave me alone

Rock me again and again and again and again
and again and again
Rock me again and again and again and again
and again and again
Rock me again and again and again and again
and again and again
Rock me again and again and again and again
and again and again

Louise

(Callis/Oakey/Wright)

When he saw her getting of the bus
It seemed to wipe away the years
Her face was older, just a little rough
But her eyes were still so clear
He drank his coffee and he hurried out
Across before she walked away
Then he approached her like a little child
Too scared for what he had to say

"Hello, Louise, 
Remember me?
Now should we part
Or stay awhile?
As if we were still lovers"

She took a moment just to recognise
The man sheÕd known so well before
And as he started to apologise
Lose any bitterness she bore
She gently put her finger on his lips
To let him know she understood
And with her suit case standing on the floor
Embraced him like a lover would

He told Louise
"You look so good
ItÕs just you see
You make me feel
As if we were still lovers"

[Spoken:]
It's not always true that time heals all wounds.
There are wounds that you don't wanna heal, 
the memories of something really good,
something truly real, that you never found again.

And though they talked for just a little time
Before she said she had to go
He saw the meeting as a tiny sign
That told him all he had to know

And so Louise
Waved from the bus
And as she left
She gave that smile
As if they were still lovers

Lyrics by Philip Oakey

The Lebanon

(Callis/Oakey)

She dreams of nineteen sixty-nine
Before the soldiers came
The life was cheap on bread and wine
And sharing meant no shame
She is awakened by the screams
Of rockets flying from nearby
And scared she clings onto her dreams
To beat the fear that she might die

And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone
From the Lebanon
The Lebanon

Before he leaves the camp he stops
He scans the world outside
And where there used to be some shops
Is where the snipers sometimes hide
He left his home the week before
He thought heÕd be like the police
But now he finds he is at war
"WerenÕt we supposed to keep the peace"

And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone
From the Lebanon
The Lebanon
The Lebanon
From the Lebanon

I must be dreaming
It canÕt be true
I must be dreaming
It canÕt be true

And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone?
From the Lebanon
The Lebanon
The Lebanon
From the Lebanon

Lyrics by Philip Oakey

Betrayed

(Oakey/Wright)

When all the money's gone
When all the boys move on
No star to wish upon
When every race is run

In the quiet of the morning
Lying in the morning sun
Ruins of another country
Day has just begun

Blown by the desert breeze
No memory of trees
No mercy from the sky
No avenue to try

In the quiet of the morning
Lying in the morning sun
Ruins of another country
Day has just begun

When all the money's gone
When all the boys move on
No star to wish upon
When every race is run

In the quiet of the morning
Lying in the morning sun
Ruins of another country
Day has just begun

Lyrics by Philip Oakey

The Sign

(Burden/Callis/Oakey)

Around the nation, around the world
What's been going down?
A million voices, one question hurled
Heard in every town
All of the people, one simple plea
What will happen now?
Asked in concern for their destiny
Got to know somehow

They say
They say

Everything will be fine
Everything will be fine
Everything will be fine
I saw the sign

So if you want to know what's going on
Going round and round
You'd better ask before your world is gone
Gone without a sound

They say
They say

Everything will be fine
Everything will be fine
Everything will be fine
I saw the sign
Everything will be fine
Everything will be fine
Everything will be fine
I saw the sign

Lyrics by Philip Oakey

So Hurt

(Burden/Oakey)

It's hard I know to understand
Nothing lasts for ever
The things you used to say and do
The places you would go to meet
When you were together
You set your face against the tide
The harsh words that were spoken
But after all the anger
The shouting and the tears
You found your heart was broken

Fight the tears
Fight the fever
Don't give in
Soul deceiver

So hurt
With the pain you can't hide
So lost
And lonely inside
So hurt
When the feeling has died
So hurt
With the pain you can't hide
So lost
And lonely inside
So hurt
When the feeling has died

Just like the clock went back ten years
To make a new beginning
To work out how to live your life
To take the board and play the game
And recognise you're winning
Your memories mean nothing now
You're just a little older
Moving forward with the crowd
Silent fears but laughing loud
Not wiser but just bolder

Fight the tears
Fight the fever
Fight the hurt
Don't give up

So hurt
With the pain you can't hide
So lost
And lonely inside
So hurt
When the feeling has died
So hurt
With the pain you can't hide
So lost
And lonely inside
So hurt
When the feeling has died

Lyrics by Philip Oakey

Life On Your Own

(Callis/Oakey/Wright)

Winter is approaching
ThereÕs snow upon the ground
ItÕs good of you to visit me
IÕm glad you came around
I donÕt know how you found me
I didnÕt let you know
I only moved to this address
About a week ago
I guess you think I ran out
But thatÕs not true
Other people settle down
I never do
I always have to move on
Just have to go
IÕve often wondered why that is
IÕd like to say but I just donÕt know

I guess you always wanted
Life on your own
I guess you always wanted
Life on your own

Up here the summerÕs shorter
And winterÕs very cold
IÕm looking forward to the peace
My lonely life will hold
IÕm really glad you came here
Thank you for the talk
ItÕs funny how my problem stopped
When we went for a walk
Standing here together
Means so much
I wonÕt forget your confidence
I wonÕt forget your touch
You know IÕll come to see you
Passing through
WeÕll always be a world apart
IÕll travel on but I will be true

I guess you always wanted
Life on your own
I guess you always wanted
Life on your own
I guess you always wanted
Life on your own
I guess you always wanted
Life on your own

Lyrics by Philip Oakey and Philip Adrian Wright

Don't You Know I Want You

(Burden/Callis/Oakey)

It's a beautiful night
A cool breeze in the air
Got the keys to my car
But I don't want to go nowhere
I'm not at all bored
But I've plenty of time to spare
There's only one thing that I know
Would take me there

I've got one thing to say to you
I guess you just don't realise
When you see me look at me
There's more than friendship in my eyes

Don't you know I want you
Don't you know I want you

You can really get a buzz
Hanging out with the cool and free
You can act like a monarch
Or a pillar of the bourgeoisie
Anything you want to do
I'm never going to disagree
But I've got a point of view
How about a little sympathy

I've got one thing to say to you
I guess you just don't realise
When you see me look at me
There's more than friendship in my eyes

Don't you know I want you
Don't you know I want you

Don't you know I want you
Don't you know I want you
Don't you know I want you
Don't you know I want you

Lyrics by Philip Oakey
