Courage (free) 05:46
I've watched you from afar for a long, long time Laughing, joking, smiling with our friends And I fell: fell in love with you The way you are, the who you are But you will never know I see you everyday and it tears me apart That I love you so and you don't know But it's better this way 'cause you might say no and tear my heart apart You might say no and leave me in the dark You might say no and my life would surely end But I don't have the courage Though I know you are a true, true friend There's a part of me so terrified you'll reject what you see And I couldn't bear the pain if you walked away So I won't tell and you won't know And it's better this way 'cause you might say no and tear my heart apart You might say no and leave me in the dark You might say no and my life would surely end I've got to find the courage

Pink Skirts 03:49
Pink skirts don’t do it for me Though I know I should be swayed By genetic propriety And though I’m not a synesthete, if you could turn your smiling face into a colour, that colour would be Gold, and your gold makes my world I’ll wear the pink if you wear gold And here is my final thought I love you Whatever you do makes my world Don’t ever change who you are I only ask please burn that damn pink skirt ‘cause pink skirts don’t do it for me Though I know my fashion sense Is out of whack - like Christmas pudding in the spring - The best time for love Walking down the boulevard hand in hand I’ll buy you pink roses

Hey there cutie pie Want to see what we can do if we really try My pants are on fire just for a glimpse of you I'll give you everything I've never possessed I'll give you half of the medicine chest I'll love you faithfully at least 'till the end of the night So you want to come and play with me Join in with the fantasy Come along and taste a piece of the heat Come on and play with me We'll trip the light so fantastique Down and dirty take a piece of the heat Hey there sleepy head Want to see what we can do if we stay in bed You've got me riding - riding the edge of my mind I'll pledge my heart if it'll make you stay I'll pledge my soul if you could banish the gray I'll love you faithfully at least 'till the end of time So you want to come and play with me Join in with the fantasy Come along and taste a piece of the heat Come on and play with me We'll trip the light so fantastique Down and dirty take a piece of the heat Come on and play with me Come on and play with me Come on and play with me Come on and play with me So you want to come and play with me Join in with the fantasy Come along and taste a piece of the heat Come on and play with me We'll trip the light so fantastique Down and dirty take a piece of the heat 'cause I love you Come play with me ... And I need you Come play with me ... And I want you Come play with me ...

So you’ve fallen in love: Though you’ve never met her in your life. Chatrooms are just boss: Getting jiggy via broadband is just the latest way to wreck your life. And you think you know them well: though you’ve never seen a picture, or heard a spoken word... You need to turn on your sincerity machine Add a reality check to everything you’ve seen She says she’s got blonde hair and movie starlet looks But really she’s a he, a cross dressing, aged east end .... And do your parents know of your plans to run away and elope with an unseen chatroom beau? You’ve been talking for a while, but who’s playing who in this minefield of online desire You need to turn on your sincerity machine Add a reality check to everything you’ve seen She says she’s got blonde hair and movie starlet looks But really she’s a he, a cross dressing, aged east end .... You’ve got to - start again Plugged in. Switched on. Firewired. Networked. Jacked in. Turned on. You need to turn on your sincerity machine Add a reality check to everything you’ve seen She says she’s got blonde hair and movie starlet looks But really she’s a he, a cross dressing, aged east end ....

The day was over as I packed away the wardrobe Saving our things for a summer’s day that would never come And as the light fades my tears flow ever faster The last words spoken were in anger not in love You were the one that made my life worth living You were the one to bring me back from the brink of hell Where was it written my life should be torn asunder In a twisted wreck on the A 21 Gin or Ginseng won’t help me now It’s Valium that I need To take away the pain of losing you Gin or Ginseng won’t help me now It’s Love that I need To take away the pain of losing you Six months later it’s noon and I’m in bed still My life was back in hell on the day that I lost you I can’t imagine it’ll ever get much better You were the one, the one meant for me Gin or Ginseng won’t help me now It’s lovethat I need To take away the pain of losing you Gin or Ginseng won’t help me now It’s Love that I need To take away the pain of losing you Ten years on I’m married with two children I love them muchly with nearly all my heart Yet deep within me is the love we shared together The keystone of my life as was and is still now Gin or Ginseng won’t help me now It’s love that I need To take away the pain of losing you Gin or Ginseng won’t help me now It’s Love that I need To take away the pain of losing you

One Voice 05:59
One small voice from heaven Whispers gently in my ear Lets me in on secrets Tells me things I want to hear Tells me of life a million miles away Across the ocean it’s greener there they say One small voice that tells me To live the life I choose Says don’t waste a minute With love you can never lose Tells me the earth is turning under my feet All life is sacred don’t leave it incomplete I’d give my life just to see your face I live and die in a different place ‘cause we are only dreaming Make believe we’re only dreaming One small voice that loves me No matter what I do A light to guide me When I’m down and feeling blue Holds my hand gently rocks me off to sleep Dries my tears when it’s too much I start to weep One small voice that tells me Where to find true love One voice that guides me Through the smooth and then the rough Tells me the truth no matter how much it hurts Everybody needs someone to wash their shirts I’d give my life just to see your face I live and die in a different place ‘cause we are only dreaming Make believe we’re only dreaming

When you came into my life I was doing fairly well and I believed the walls I had built would last a thousand years or more It was if a ‘Spring of Teal’ had arrived to tear apart my quiet life destroy my solitude and muddy the waters deep. I’ve got no one to talk to any more except a window on the screen I can’t share my thoughts with anyone I know And I can’t accept what’s plain to see I can’t accept what’s plain to see I don’t know what to do and I don’t know what to think Yet I know the walls I’ve built are crumbling around my feet It was if a ‘Spring of Teal had arrived to tear apart my quiet life destroy my solitude muddy the waters deep I’ve got no one to talk to anymore except a window on the screen I can’t share my thoughts with anyone I know And I can’t accept what’s plain to see If this is love I don’t know what to say If this is love I don’t know what to do I’m so confused it’s tearing me apart I’m like an angst ridden teen I’m feeling blue like an angst ridden teen I’m feeling blue Feeling blue

Train 03:47
I'm on the train of life going nowhere fast. I've got a ticket to ride don't know how long it's going last. I've got to get off this train sort out my life - it's time. Put my troubles behind me and get on the up-life line. We're heading for the up-life line! We're heading for the up-life line! We're heading for the up-life line! Now it's time ... for the up-life line! Since I left school I've never known what to do. I've drifted about, taken drugs and signed on too. I've needed help never known who to ask or why. Though my philosophy's changed now I've learnt how to cry. We're heading for the up-life line! We're heading for the up-life line! We're heading for the up-life line! Now it's time ... for the up-life line!

Love Song 04:41
Every time I hear that love song Your face your smile come back to me And every time I think of you I know I'm not where I should be 'cause I love you I love you And the world can go round without me 'till every one can plainly see My love for you is undying It'll last for eternity Every time I think of you girl Your scent sweet breath flood through my mind And everytime I see your picture I know I must have been really blind 'cause I love you I love you And the world will go round without me 'till every one can plainly see My love for you is undying It'll last for eternity Oh I love you Love you so very much I can't live without you Live without your touch 'cause I love you I love you And the world will go round without me 'till every one can plainly see My love for you is undying It'll last for eternity For eternity

Hey Kids 05:10
Hey kids your Mama don't care I don't wanna push you but you've gotta go Hey kids your Mama don't care It's night time in the city and you never know Hey kids your Mama don't care You've gone into her bedroom to try on her underwear Hey kids your mama don't care And when you get out on the sidewalk you can be a millionaire I think it shows, his funny nose The rent man came today Nearly caught fire on the telephone wire We spent our time believing all the shit we got at school We're gonna move out today Hey kids your Mama don't care I don't wanna push you but you've gotta go Hey kids your Mama don't care It's night time in the city and you never know Hey kids your Mama don't care You've gone into her bedroom to try on her underwear Hey kids your mama don't care And when you get out on the sidewalk you can be a millionaire Masquerades and razor blades Always far from home We've been a long time on the end of the line Sitting round the table drinking Vodka all the night Getting freaked out away Hey kids your Mama don't care I don't wanna push you but you've gotta go Hey kids your Mama don't care It's night time in the city and you never know Hey kids your Mama don't care You've gone into her bedroom to try on her underwear Hey kids your mama don't care And when you get out on the sidewalk you can be a millionaire

Joanna 04:49
Pale as ivory Hair down to her waist Her tinkling laughter A smile that lights her face Such stunning beauty Is hers and hers for keeps My stumbling advances Are enough to make her weep Joanna...... It can never be Cupid’s arrow Missed you then hit me I’ll love you always ‘till the sands of time run dry But you’ll live your life And I’ll live mine She’s my idol My perfect ideal From the moment I saw her Fate cast its seal She moves in circles That different from my own She lives in Mayfair And I ... I have no home Joanna, it can never be Cupid’s arrow Missed you then hit me I’ll love you always ‘till the sands of time run dry But you’ll live your life And I’ll live mine

We revolve around each other Like planets in our own universe One and all desperados in love Will you play nicely? Will you give me a call? And I, for who am I? A lonely soul living on the edge And you, you could rescue me Hook line and sinker, we'll love 'till the end. In the bleak winter dawn he stands shivering on the parapet looking down into the fast flowing waters of the river below. Nothing in his life seems worth the trouble of continuing now that his truly beloved has let him go. Life plays tricks, and none crueller than a jealous suitor who lied to them both. But love is the most powerful of the emotions - and this tale has a happy ending! And I, for who am I? A lonely soul living on the edge And you, you could rescue me Hook line and sinker, we'll love 'till the end.
