CITY STREETS

Verse 1
When I walk through
The city streets
So quiet and so bare
A slight and subtle
Scent of you
Brightens through the air

(Chorus)
But you are not there
You are not there

Verse 2
When I walk through
A crowded place
So noisy and so loud
I think I catch
A glimpse of face
Through the searching crowd

(Chorus)

Verse 3
When I go to
My empty bed
Frightened and alone
I see on the pillow
Your lovely head
But I am alone

(Chorus)

COME TONIGHT

Verse 1
I see you flyin’
Flyin’ free
I hear you callin’
Callin’ to me
I hear you singin’
Singin’ to me
Come tonight
Come to me

Verse 2
I know your footstep
In the hall
I think I love you
Give it all
I see you laughin’
Loud and free
Come tonight
Come to me

Verse 3
I smell your perfume
On the air
I hear you talkin’
Lovin’ to share
I see your spirit
Flyin’ free
Come tonight
Come to me

COWBOY OF DREAMS

You ride through my night
You come to my bed
You win all the fights
You have in my head
You always are right
You win all the scenes
You are to me
My cowboy of dreams

Always you're alone
Always you're on time
Always I want
You to be mine
Always the one
Who steals all the scenes
You are to me
My cowboy of dreams

Where can I find you
Where do you hide
Where can I go
To go for the ride
Where is the love
That is what it seems
Where are you now
My cowboy of dreams

CRASH AND BURN

Verse 1
There was a time
When you could hurt me
There was a time
When you could laugh in my face
There was a time
When I couldn’t see
There was a time
When you weren’t disgraced
Now it’s your turn
To crash and burn

Verse 2
There was a time
When I loved you
There was a time
You put me in my place
There was a time
You know it’s true
There was a time
You couldn’t look me in the face
But now it’s your turn
To crash and burn

Verse 3
There came a time
When you needed me
There came a time
When you wanted my love
There came a time
When I was free
There came a time
I didn’t want your love
And now it’s your turn
To crash and burn

CYCLING TO THE SUNSET ON THE STREETS OF SAIGON

Verse 1
I think of all the lovely boys
I see them standing here
Waving as I pass them by
Hiding bitter tears
What became of their dreams
Where have their young lives gone
Nothing is quite what it seems
Cycling to the sunset on the streets of Saigon

Verse 2
I see their smiling faces
But I know that they are ghosts
Ghosts of another time
The ghosts we see the most
And in the eyes I see the tears
That always drive me on
Every day I see my fears
Cycling to the sunset on the streets of Saigon

Verse 3
I know the years have passed by
But the ghosts they are the same
Always asking asking why
They all call out my name
What can I do to ease their pain
After so many years so long
Cycling and crying in the rain
Cycling to the sunset on the streets of Saigon

DANCING ROUND THE BONFIRE OF MY LOVE

Verse 1
I met her on holiday
Walking in the past
A piece of heaven standing there
Could I make it last
All my life I’ve looked for her
Seen her in my dreams
And I knew her straight away
From the old love scenes

Verse 2
There and then I felt for her
Felt head over heels
It seems I’d forgotten how
Hard love pains can feel
She came, she stayed, she took my dreams
She broke them on the ground
The sounds I heard were my screams
A heart broken round

Verse 3
And now she’s gone to live away
And left me in our home
Didn’t she know how hard it is
To live a life alone
She came, she saw and killed me
With her knowing grin
Did she know that she’d kill me
Did she know the state I’m in

Chorus
I should have known better
I thought you were my queen
But last night I saw you
Dancing round the bonfire of my dreams

DEAD END

Verse 1
You can’t get it right in school
You think you’re a special fool
Can’t make sense of your books
Keep on getting those sidelong looks
Can’t see how it’s gonna end
Dead end

Verse 2
Your pa thinks you’re a waste of time
But you know you are doing fine
Don’t care much about the world
When you keep getting in with girls
Can’t see how you’re gonna bend
Dead end

Verse 3
You might be tough, might be dumb
But you know when to come
You just got loads of friends
Man the line never seems to end
I lust wanna be your friend
Dead end


DEAD MAN WALKING

Verse 1
I’m a
Dead man walking
Walking through the door
Dead man walking
Don’t care no more
You don’t love me
You say that you lied
I’m a
Dead man walking
Got no place to hide

Verse 2
I’m a
Dead man walking
Walking through a dream
Dead man walking
Not what I’ve been
You don’t want me
Around no more
I’m a
Dead man walking
Out through your door

Verse 3
I’m a
Dead man walking
Walking all alone
Dead man walking
And I got no home
You don’t need me
You told me to go
I’m a
Dead man walking
Got no place to go

DESPERATE DELIA (DUET)

Female: My name is Desperate Delia
My life is in a mess
Won’t you come and help me
I’m in such a stress

Male: My name is Insane Ian
And I love everyone
Won’t someone please tell me
Where everyone has gone

Female: Oh my darling boy
Come and stay with me
You can be my toy
Take me know I’m free

Male: Girls as nice as you
Don’t fancy the insane
So tell me now girl
What’s your little game

Female: You may not be much to look at
But you’ll do for me
Just get on board and close your eyes
You don’t need to see

M. & F: And now that we’ve found love
All night and through the day
We’ll hold each other tight
We’ll never go away

DO YOU KNOW

Do you know
What love is
Do you know
Nights of bliss
Do you know
I love you so

Chorus

I love you so deeply
I fell so completely
Into your arms
I love you so madly
I miss you so badly
Can’t think of anyone else’s charms

Do you know
What love is
Do you dream
Of knights like this
Are you coy
For a long lost kiss

Can you see
You’re the one
Don’t you know
I’ve waited long
Do you know
I love you so
