World Beyond
Oh What A World
I want to be in the witness protection programme
I don't like what we've become
We've become borderline obsessive compulsives
Stop the world I want to get off with you baby
Stop
And it seems to me it's the way it's gonna be
No-one out there wants to see the things I see
It's a crazy world a million voices go unheard
What became of wanting to be free
Oh what a world
We lost power long ago
We reap what we have sown
We have no conscience to speak of
It's sheer madness
Don't take the moral high ground
Hide behind your fake words
It's just an excuse
For your weakness
What a lost opportunity, don't be upset with me
What about all the secrets here on Earth
We unbottled the genie living out fantasies
Fell for the propaganda badly
Oh what a world
And it seems to me it's the way it's gonna be
No-one out there wants to see the things I see
It's a crazy world a million voices go unheard
What became of wanting to be free
What a lost opportunity, don't be upset with me
What about all the secrets here on Earth
We unbottled the genie living out fantasies
Fell for the propaganda badly
Oh what a world
Be Careful What You Wish For!
Oh to be alive
It's a struggle to survive
From the dark of night
Will I reach and feel the light
Will I choose my fate
In the twinkle of an eye
From the firmament
Your ideal will come to life
Rumours grow from nothing
Like a whisper in the crowd
Stars they will collide
Lovers will abide
Be careful what you wish for
You could be the very best
Put me to the test
Think about it baby
A lonely voice
Gotta cry for Judgement Day
A dream realised
Got to pray to make it heard
Rumours grow from nothing
Like a whisper in the crowd
Stars they will collide
Lovers will abide
Be careful what you wish for
You could be the very best
Put me to the test
Think about it baby
Tower come crumbling down
Strike of lightning
Build it back up again
Circle of life slowly turns
Rumours grow from nothing
Like a whisper in the crowd
Stars they will collide
Lovers will abide
Be careful what you wish for
You could be the very best
Put me to the test
Think about it baby
Rumours grow from nothing
Like a whisper in the crowd
Stars they will collide
Lovers will abide
Be careful what you wish for
You could be the very best
Put me to the test
Think about it baby
World Be Gone
Before we ever seize the day
The calming of the season's end
Life becomes a hidden play
Imparted with a furtive glance
Was it everything you'd dreamed it'd be
Or illusions shattered into glass
World be gone
Or are you filled with loving
The way that you promised us
Long ago
And will it tie us to the mast of our souls
As in ancient lore
And as I saw you standing there
Holding your head in your hands
Though it hurts to say goodbye
Silver linings in the leaden sky
One day we'll return again
And surely we will make amends
Consequences never seen
Broken shadows on an empty screen
World be gone
Or are you filled with loving
The way that you promised us
Long ago
And will it tie us to the mast of our souls
As in ancient lore
And as I saw you standing there
Holding your head in your hands
World be gone
Or are you filled with loving
The way that you promised us
Long ago
And will it tie us to the mast of our souls
As in ancient lore
And as I saw you standing there
Holding your head in your hands
A Bitter Parting
Can't abide our sad goodbyes
I'll see you soon my friend
And though we are oceans apart
It seems you're always there
I'll catch you with a loving glance
We will have another chance
And it's a bitter parting with such sweet sorrow
But I guess we'll be just fine
And I wish us all a fond farewell
But just don't look back in time
And it's a bitter parting with such sweet sorrow
But you're in my heart entwined
Magic is the spark of life
To make the candle burn
Lighting up the dark of night
To show which way to turn
Take me in your loving arms
Meet me in another world
And it's a bitter parting with such sweet sorrow
But I guess we'll be just fine
And I wish us all a fond farewell
But just don't look back in time
And it's a bitter parting with such sweet sorrow
But I guess we'll be just fine
And I wish us all a fond farewell
But just don't look back in time
And it's a bitter parting with such sweet sorrow
But you're in my heart entwined
And I wish us all a fond farewell
But just don't look back in time
Still It's Not Over
We crossed our hearts and never hoped to lie
All the ghosts along The Castro were just walking by
We went back to scratch and had to start again
Like a ring of roses everyone was falling down
We made a miracle
We had to come up with a cunning plan
A time for quiet contemplation
Dying on the steps of City Hall
They turned on love and turned their backs
And left us to a sheer attack
And I'm not really pleased with that
And still it's not over
The universe is big enough
And there's room for the two of us
And ignorance it isn't bliss
And words they can't hurt me
They held us all in very low esteem
We had to fight for our rights, had to steal the scene
It felt so right to see the rebels run
Because we know that something good was being done
But you never gave a damn
We had to come up with a cunning plan
We were fighting for survival
We had to look the Devil in the eye
They turned on love and turned their backs
And left us to a sheer attack
And I'm not really pleased with that
And still it's not over
The universe is big enough
And there's room for the two of us
And ignorance it isn't bliss
And words they can't hurt me
They turned on love and turned their backs
And left us to a sheer attack
And I'm not really pleased with that
And still it's not over
(And still it's not over)
We made a miracle
Dying on the steps of City Hall
They turned on love and turned their backs
And left us to a sheer attack
And I'm not really pleased with that
And still it's not over
The universe is big enough
And there's room for the two of us
And ignorance it isn't bliss
And words they can't hurt me
They turned on love and turned their backs
And left us to a sheer attack
And I'm not really pleased with that
And still it's not over
The universe is big enough
And there's room for the two of us
And ignorance it isn't bliss
And words they can't hurt me
Take Me Out Of Myself
Take me out of myself
'Til I feel like I've got everything under control
And it's a feeling I like
When you fall at my... when suddenly that you don't know
I will not fear where I'm heading
'Cause I see that the writing's upon the wall
And I don't feel like a saviour
Who will save me from myself tonight?
Don't talk to me as if I'm crazy
It's not the way it's meant to be
Please talk to me as if I'm equal
Fear of rejection's hanging on
Put me back into the synchronisation of reality
Oh how it shows
I will not walk away of my own accord baby
It's down to you
I might appear like a maniac
But it's just because I never switch off
You make me feel like infinity
Like I could do almost anything
Don't talk to me as if I'm crazy
It's not the way it's meant to be
Please just talk to me as if I'm equal
Fear of rejection's hanging on
We go in circles
Repeating old mistakes
When will we learn
How to cry to forgive
We go in circles
Repeating old mistakes
When will we learn
How to cry to forgive
Take me out of myself
'Til I feel like I've got everything under control
And it's a feeling I like
When you fall at my... when suddenly that you don't know
I will not fear where I'm heading
'Cause I see that the writing's upon the wall
And I don't feel like a saviour
Who will save me from myself tonight?
Don't talk to me as if I'm crazy
It's not the way it's meant to be
Please talk to me as if I'm equal
Fear of rejection's hanging on
Sweet Summer Loving
I was feeling down had lost my lust for life
'Til I caught a glimpse of you that night
Never knew how much things were about to change
Saw you in the corner of my mind
You show me there's more to life
There's gotta be more to life
Gotta count our blessings from the universe
Sweet summer loving
Baby you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Baby you're the best thing
Baby you're a blessing
Baby you're the best thing that ever happened to me
A breeze on the body
Baby come and get me I got the blues for you
Baby you're the best thing
Baby you're a blessing
Baby you're the greatest thing
How did you rekindle my breathless flame
Memories that cut me like a knife
Time will heal the wounds they say you know it's true
You gave me room to build my faith in you
There's gotta be more than this
There's gotta be more than that
It's been a long time coming
Baby here you are
Sweet summer loving
Baby you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Baby you're the best thing
Baby you're a blessing
Baby you're the greatest thing
I won't try to bring you down
Don't worry I ain't gonna let you baby
I won't try to bring you down
Don't worry you ain't gonna let me baby
I was feeling down had lost my lust for life
'Til I caught a glimpse of you that night
Never knew how much things were about to change
Saw you in the corner of my mind
Sweet summer loving
Baby you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Baby you're the best thing
Baby you're a blessing
Baby you're the greatest thing
A breeze on the body
Baby come and get me I got the blues for you
Baby you're the best thing
Baby you're a blessing
Baby you're the greatest thing
Love You To The Sky
I wanna be near you baby
I wanna kiss you baby
I wanna be near you baby
I wanna kiss you baby, ooh woah
And you blow me away to the soul
Will you be my port in a storm
And I want to climb inside your head
And I'm stronger to know that you care
I love you to the sky, sky, sky, sky
I'll not tell you lies, lies, lies, lies
You can be my summer romance
Say it's not an omen
Tell me that you want me
I love you to the sky, sky, sky, sky
I'll not tell you lies, lies, lies, lies
You can be my summer romance
Say it's me you're holding
Tell me that you want me
I wanna see you baby
Come closer baby
Ain't gonna hurt you baby
Know that I miss you baby, ooh woah
And you know that I'm laughing inside
You can see through my disguise
And I want to climb inside your head
I'm stronger to know that you care
I love you to the sky, sky, sky, sky
I'll not tell you lies, lies, lies, lies
You can be my summer romance
Say it's not an omen
Tell me that you want me
I love you to the sky, sky, sky, sky
I'll not tell you lies, lies, lies, lies
You can be my summer romance
Say it's me you're holding
Tell me that you want me
I love you to the sky, sky, sky, sky
I'll not tell you lies, lies, lies, lies
You can be my summer romance
Say it's not an omen
Tell me that you want me
I love you to the sky, sky, sky, sky
I'll not tell you lies, lies, lies, lies
Baby say it's me you're holding
We got time for something
Tell me that you want me
Sky
Lies
In my head
In my head
In my head
Tell me that you want me
Lousy Sum Of Nothing
And I don't know what we've become
Don't recognise the world as one
Reads like a sordid affair
And people don't know how to care
They make it up, they call it true
Like hating others is something new
And it keeps on going round
What a pity that he drowned
And what do we do about it
We simply switch the channel
What do you feel now
The world has lost its loving
You're not gonna criticise
The injustice in the world
All that we feel again
A lousy sum of nothing
How do you feel now
Say and look me in the eye
Now I can see the medals won
They threw them on the Palace floor
But it wasn't on the news
They don't respect their views
And what do we do about it
When it isn't on the channel
What do you feel now
The world has lost its loving
You're not gonna criticise
The injustice in the world
All that we feel again
A lousy sum of nothing
How do you feel now
Say and look me in the eye
What do you feel now
The world has lost its loving
You're not gonna criticise
The injustice in the world
All that we feel again
A lousy sum of nothing
How do you feel now
Say and look me in the eye
Just A Little Love
Stormy weather ahead and I don't know what to do
World gone crazy we're beaten 'til we're black and we're blue
Fear's in fashion, the writing on the wall is obscene
Everybody's shouting but I don't really know what they mean
And the voices I hear are the voices inside of my head
It's a sign of the times maybe time to try something instead
Just a little love and the world keeps turning
Just a little love keeps our hearts from burning
Just a little love I believe we're yearning
Just a little love keeps the storm at bay
Just a little love not the hate that's calling
Just a little love and the walls start falling down
And I believe there are angels calling
Just a little love
Just a little love
I'm not sure that you love me like you loved me before
Say that I'm crazy and maybe I would walk out the door
Every time I consider it you always pull at my heart
Tell me it's not the end that this is only the start
And the voices I hear are the voices inside my head
It's a sign of the times maybe time to try something instead
Just a little love and the world keeps turning
Just a little love keeps our hearts from yearning
Just a little love I believe we're yearning
Just a little love keeps the storm at bay
Just a little love not the hate that's calling
Just a little love I believe we're falling down
And I believe there are angels calling
Just a little love
Just a little love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Just a little love
