SOFT
Golden gleams shine from your hair
Your sleeping face is like a dream
I watch you sleep without a care
The most beautiful girl I've ever seen

CHORUS

Don't ever go
I need you so
In sunshine and in darkness
I know our love will grow.

My heart will break if you go
Your sleeping face is lovely
Can I tell you I love you so
Or will my words fail me.

You sleep but are you dreaming
Will you ever dream of me
I want to wake you as I'm leaving
I have to go and work you see.

Please stay with me till night
I need to know you love me
Your face in the suns dying light
Is the sight I want to see.

SOFT AND SLOW
CHORUS.

Don't leave me now,
Without a goodbye,
When I need you more than ever,
Don't you know that I need you
Like a flower needs the rain,
Don't you go and leave me with this pain.

When I first met you,
I didn't really care,
Just wanted to play and have some fun,
But my play was just sand
Trickling through your hand,
You came to be my early morning sun.

I was a little boy,
I played with my toys,
I didn't want to share my life with you,
But you came along,
And taught me your song,
Don't leave me now, Stay where you belong.

Please let that taxi go
Don't go out the door,
Without you the house is not a home,
If you go away,
I'll die a little every day,
I need you more than ever here today.

SONG FOR A MISERABLE MUSICAL.
Where has it gone
The passion the pain
Days when the sun
Followed the rain
Where have they gone
The days that we knew
When the sun always shone
On me and you.

Where have they gone
The friends that we knew
When money was easy
And problems were few
Where have they gone
Will we see them again
Days without sun
Eyes filled with pain.

Where has she gone
The girl that I loved
To bring back the sun
Bring back the love
Will she come home
Where could she be
My days are all empty
When she's not with me.

STAY WITH ME
CHORUS
Stay with me
Oh oh stay with me now
Stay, won't you stay, with me.

You came for an hour
Stayed for a while
And my heart
Beat went wild

You got me some pride girl
My confidence grew
You started to stay girl
I started to love you.

Before too long you'd moved right in
Your pots and your pans
Knew how to treat me
My heart was in your hands.

Now you've grown cold
Don't laugh anymore
I know I've seen you
Looking at the door.

Now you've gone and told me
You'll soon be moving on
You say the love we had
Has withered up and gone.
TWO CHORUS'S

STOMPING LOUD SONG
You've got a beautiful body,
You've got beautiful hair,
I want to make you my hobby,
If you really care.

Saw you walking towards me,
You looked so fine,
Knew I needed you close to me,
Knew you were gonna be mine.

Got you to dance close to me,
Walked you home,
Told you I was gonna be
Calling on your phone.

I walk so proud with you,
On the street,
Don't know where we're goin
But it's gonna be sweet.

STOMPING SHOUTING SONG.
Give me that wall of sound,
It's the best sound around,
I need to hear that noise,
Like the girls need the boys,

CHORUS.

And what I have to say,
Is play it every day,
LOUD LOUD LOUD
LOUD LOUD LOUD.

Give me that sixties beat,
I wanna stamp my feet,
I don't wanna hear no strings,
Or the fat guy when he sings.

Give me that heavy drumming,
There s a new world a commin,
Don't want no old Grandma,
Playin in my car.

STORMY NIGHTS
Chorus
There's only one thing to remember
The rest of it ain't real
The one thing to remember
Is only love is real

Verse 1
In future days
We'll look back on these times
Of pain and hurt and tears
In future days
We'll remember these times
And laugh at our fears

Verse 2
When we're old and the kids are gone
And we're walking hand in hand
You'll remember what I told you
In younger days now gone
You'll remember how I held you
On stormy nights so long

STRAIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE
Verse 1
When I left home
I got a date
My papa said
Don't stay out too late
He took me home
Put grits on the griddle
But you know
I went straight down the middle
Straight down the middle
Is all she blew
And that's where I'm going with you

Verse 2
When I left work
Nowhere to go
My boss's wife said
Don't be slow
She took me home
To play my fiddle
But you know me
I went straight down the middle
Straight down the middle
Is all she blew
And that's where I'm going with you

Verse 3
I got to thirty
Played around
My new friend said
Just don't get found
She cooked my food
It started to sizzle
But you know me
I went straight down the middle
Straight down the middle
Is all she blew
And that's where I'm going with you

Verse 4
Now I'm wed
I've got a wife
But you know
I got no strife
Cos you know
Life ain't no riddle
And you know me
I went straight down the middle
Straight down the middle
Is all she blew
And that's where I'm going with you

SUMMERTIME LOVE
Verse 1
Summertime love
Gonna be alright
Summertime love
Through the night
Summertime love
Got a hold on me
Summertime love
Won't you let me be

Verse 2
Wintertime love
Warm night
Wintertime love
Gonna be alright
Wintertime love
Stokes the fire
Wintertime love
Takes me higher

Verse 3
Springtime love
Like leaves on trees
Springtime love
Like birds and bees
Springtime love
Drives a man insane
Springtime love
Gotta do it again

SUPER SLICK
Super slick and superfine
I can't get you outa my mind,

I love the shiny clothes you wear
Love the way you do your hair,

I know you think I'm cool and strong
You couldn't be much more wrong,

When I see a girl as cool as you
My tongue don't know what to do,

So when I see you I can't talk
All I do is smile and walk,

At night I lay in my bed
And think of things I should have said,

If I were to write to you
Would you think I was a fool,

It's very hard when you're shy
And day by day the chances fly,

In my dreams I talk to you
It's very easy but it's not true,

So will you please come out with me
And let this tongue tied fool go free

TAKE ME BACK
Verse 1
Take me back
To your love
To your arms
Take me back
And keep me
From harm
Take me back
'fore I go
Quite insane
Take me back
Take me
Again

Verse 2
Hold on
To my love
Don't let go
Hold on
Cos you know
It will grow
Hold on
Keep me warm
Hold me tight
Hold on
Through the hours
Of the night

Verse 3
Keep on
Show me
Best you can
Keep on
Make me
Better man
Keep on
And you know
It's OK
Keep on
Keeping on
Every day

THE GHOST I SAW WAS ME
I was looking through the window
A strange thing I could see
A man moved in front of me
And dropped down to his knees
His words were very quiet
And I could hardly hear
But when he looked straight at me
The ghost I saw was me.

At first I couldn't move
And then he took my hand
He lead me through my open door
To another land
There I saw a body
Bleeding by a tree
And when I looked down at it
The ghost I saw was me.

Oh God Oh my God
Will you do this to me
I thought that you loved me
Was I too blind to see
I only try to help
I try to set them free
And now you take my life away
For all the world to see
I'm looking at myself now
And the ghost I see is me.

THE HANDS OF TIME BALLAD.
The hands of time have touched your face
The girl I knew is gone
The days of fire are long gone now
The race we ran is won.

But sometimes when I see you
The girl is all I see
And all the years that passed us by
Set free the boy in me

The children came and needed love
And money never stayed for long
The debts we paid and love we made
Kept us going strong

And now we sit and take stock
Of all the things we've done
The boy and girl are long gone now
But we know we've won

THE HANGING
Verse 1
Don't take me now
For I ain't ready
Don't take me now
Don't wanna go
Don't take my life
It's all too early
So many things
I need to know

(Chorus)
But they tied his hands
Behind his back
And tied his feet too
Put a blindfold
Round his eyes
And covered up the blue

Verse 2
Don't take me now
For I didn't do it
Don't take me now
I'm much too young
I'm so afraid
I'll be a coward
God don't let me
Be trussed and hung

Verse 3
They took the poor
And fearful boy
They took his young
And sacred life
They did it all
In the name of justice
Ain't you ashamed
Of your life

THE KILLING FIELDS
The killing fields of Kensal Green
Aren't so calm as they seem
The pleasant parts of Paddington
Don't feel so good now you have gone
The benches out in Berkeley Square
Are empty now you' re not there
The empty bed in Boundary Close
Is empty now and mocks us both.

CHORUS.

Oh won't you come home to me
I miss you so, can't you see
All the places we once knew
Are empty now without you.

The little pub in Chelsea
Is empty without you and me
The silent Thames passes by
To old to see me stand and cry
The Northern Line comes and goes
What it sees, no one knows.
Our litle flat is all forelorn
Won't you please come on home.

THE LAST WORD IN LOVE
The last word in love
The first word in pain
I couldn't stand the hurt
If you left me again.

CHORUS

The phone rings
There's no one there
You go out
I don't know where
Do you know you break my heart
Please please don't let us part

The last word in pain
The first word in love
I couldn't stand the pain
If I lost your love.

The last word in light
The first word in black
I couldn't stand the night
If you didn't come back.

THE NIGHT WAS MADE FOR LOVING
Verse 1
The night was made for loving
So why
Why do I
Sit and cry
Tell me why

Chorus
Why aren't we together
Why aren't we as one
You said you'd love me forever
But now I know you're gone

Verse 2
The night was made for loving
Can't you see
What you do to me
Just can't be
Ever free

Verse 3
The night was made for loving
Can't you tell
I ain't well
A soul to sell
I'm in hell

THE ONE I LOVE
Verse 1
The one I love
Is gone from me
I see her here
Like you see me

Verse 2
She had a man
Upon her arm
The talk was sweet
Full of charm

Verse 3
I hated him
I hated her
I fear I'll kill
If I stay here

Verse 4
So down the road
I'm gonna go
Where I'll end up
I don't know

Verse 5
Remember me
When by the fire
You learn your lover
Is another liar

THERE' S A DARKNESS IN YOUR HEART
Verse 1
There's a darkness in your heart
I never saw it start
When did you stop loving me
I just can't set you free

Verse 2
There was a time I knew all about you
And you lived in my heart
I always thought about you
But I didn't see it start

Verse 3
And now I know it was for nothing
The years are all gone by
The steel of love was rusting
In the salt tears that I cry

Verse 4
I need you more than words can say
I miss you through the night
Why did you have to go away
And leave me on this dark and stormy night

THERE'S A BETTER SIDE OF ME
Chorus
How are you gonna see
There's a better side of me
How you gonna come home
When you wanna be alone

Verse 1
I saw you and
I just knew
I was gonna fall
In love with you
But I'm so shy
And you are so hot
Just look at all
The friends you got

Verse 2
I made a plan
Can't you see
Gotta get you right
Up close to me
Saw my chance
For a date
Got it on
Before too late

Verse 3
Let you in
A crowded bar
Couldn't talk
Couldn't get far
Asked if you
Would come outside
Use my car
Take a ride

Verse 4
All night long
Along the sea
You just sat
Next to me
Come the dawn
Come the day
By my side
You gonna stay
