Same Mistakes
03:47

You like to think that you're a wheeler dealer.
Eye on the money, no-one's gonna beat ya!
In every crowd you have to play the hero,
Before too long you could be back at zero!
Bull at a gate, you go in all guns blazing,
Make everybody think that you're amazing!
Go making promises that you can't keep now,
Suspect you haven't really got the know-how!
On and on, we're letting it go,
As you make the same mistakes again.
Nobody learns... we like it that way!
On and on, enjoying the show,
Watch you make the same mistakes again.
Nobody learns... too lazy to care!
You're prone to thinking with your mouth wide open,
Brain in neutral while the words are spoken.
You think you're saving everyone from danger,
What they don't know is you're the psycho-ranger!
You're too enamoured of your own opinions
And get support from sycophants and minions.
If you could listen we might all be prouder.
Who needs a fact when you can just shout louder?
On and on, we're letting it go...
You’re doing it again, now, (‘gain now)
Making all the same mistakes again.
A little bit of power, now, (power now)
Making all the same mistakes again.
We’re heading for a fall, now, (fall now)
Making all the same mistakes again.
A little bit of power, now, (power now)
Making all the same mistakes again.
We’re doing it again, now, (‘gain now)
Making all the same mistakes again.
We're never gonna learn, now, (learn now)
Making all the same mistakes again

Stronger
04:07

When you went away, on that summer’s day
I was sad to see you go.
Left me here alone, in a broken home,
Had to get by on my own.
But I managed then and I’m stronger now,
It’s not like it was before.
So, don’t come ‘round here thinking it’s okay.
I don’t need you any more.
I’m just fine. Fine living without you.
I’m feeling stronger ev’ry day. No time to be blue.
Moving on, I don’t need you, or what you put me through.
Stay away!
Did you think that I’d be weak and helpless?
Struggling to cope, my life a right mess.
Begging you to come back home and help me,
All forgiven...
Breathing in the air, life without a care,
Yes, I’ve found my freedom now.
There’s a world out there, gonna get my share,
It’ll never tie me down.
Follow no-one’s rules on this ship of fools
Move aside, I’m coming through!
Don’t need you back here thinking it’s okay,
I’m not like I was before

The Rain
05:32
|

|
Sitting here, I look out at the falling rain
With its sadness and sorrow.
On and on, will the sun ever shine again?
I can't wait until tomorrow,
'Till I have you back again.
Round and round, as the days go round and around,
Am I waiting for you in vain? I long to see you again,
I'm only living when I dream.
On and on, as the rain continues to fall
I can feel reality slip and memories of the past
Are fading more and more each day.
Then the sun, the sun will shine again
And with you here, then my days will brighten.
From that day, the one that I adore,
Together again, now and forever.
Please don't leave me. Please don't leave me...
For too long, I have stared at the empty road
Leading up to my doorway.
Every day, I expect you to smile and wave
Maybe it will be tomorrow,
Then I'll have you back again.
Round and round, as the days go round and around,
Am I waiting for you in vain? I long to see you again,
I'm only living when I dream.
On and on, as the rain continues to fall
I can feel reality slip and memories of the past
Are fading more and more each day.
Then the sun, the sun will shine again
And with you here, then my days will brighten.
From that day, the one that I adore,
Together again, now and for ever.
Please don't leave me. Please don't leave me...
Come, stop the rain
Pitter-pat on my window pane
Plays the rhythm of sorrow.
On and on, will the sun ever shine again?
I can't wait until tomorrow...
Please don't leave me here alone..

Pushing Me Away
04:20
|
|||
|
...Is there a problem? I don't know what to do.
You say you love me, but it doesn't ring true.
We could be so happy
But instead, I'm just blue over you.
Keeping up pretences has my life on the line.
...Everybody thinks that we are just fine.
Way that you're behaving
Makes me wonder if I'm losing you.
When I'm trying to find an answer,
But I just don't know the question.
Is this love or just rejection?
You keep pushing me away.
And I want to be there for you,
And tell you I adore you.
But the words get lost inside, as
You keep pushing me away.
Playing mind games is just frying my brain.
You got me thinking that I'm going insane.
Time for me to face it,
I'd be much better off on my own

Mountains
05:32

Waiting...waiting for 'some day'
Waiting for 'some day' when...we can all...see the light.
Hoping...hoping that 'some day'
Hoping that we can find...ways to change...wrong to right.
There are mountains...to climb on our way
Mountains...to reach a better day.
One man...can't know the answer
So many different points of view...with so many rules.
One way...can't be the right way
Following blindly, on we go...to be governed by fools.
There are mountains...to climb on our way
Mountains...to reach a better day.
All our hearts want the same
A life free from pain, injustice and fear.
The trust of a child will not be denied
When the vision is clear.
(x2)
One step...has to be taken
Into the darkness, driven on by a feeling inside.
Slowly...as things grow clearer
Others beside us, more and more, an unstoppable tide.
There are mountains...to climb on our way
Mountains...to reach a better day
There are mountains...to climb on our way
Mountains...to reach a better day...for us all

Away To War
05:09
|

I remember long ago,
The day that you were born,
The day you came to me,
My one and only boy.
With a heart so full of love,
A gift from Heaven above,
A life that set you free,
Now it's taken you from me.
God help the mothers of the boys who go to war,
Give them the strength to carry on.
For ever waiting on them walking through that door,
Fearing they are forever gone.
I remember how it came,
A bright September day
As they carried you away.
My world has turned to grey.
And your heart so full of love
Returned to Heaven above.
The life that set you free
Now it's taken you... (so)
God help the mothers of the boys who go to war,
Give them the strength to carry on.
For ever waiting on them walking through that door,
Knowing they are forever gone

Dreams
05:14

While I am sleeping
Thoughts of you come back into my head.
You are here, living and breathing.
Strong, as you used to be, alive again...
Here with me.
While I am waking
Thoughts are hard to hold inside my head.
Never sure, memory's hazy.
Fading with every day, what once was real...
Slips away.
When I dream, life has some meaning.
Sleep...sleep sets me free.
Young, carefree and happy.
For ever with me.
While I am sleeping
Thoughts of you come back into my head.
You are here, living and breathing.
Strong, as you used to be, alive again...
Here with me.
Strong, as we used to be, alive again...
...with me

Going Home
04:25
|

Tired and weary and the road is long,
Feel like going home.
Lost and lonely now my friends have gone,
Feel like going home.
Many battles have been lost or won,
Life moves on.
Don't lose heart, don't you be beaten down,
Feel like going home,
Feel like going home.
Back home, back home,going home.
Smile at each day,
Don't lose your way, and
Walk in the sunshine.
With love in your heart
Right from the start
You've been doing just fine.
Childhood memories, having fun,
Soon you'll be going home.
Raising children, there for everyone,
Soon you'll be going home.
Love and laughter made it all worthwhile,
Life moves on.
Taking time now, all the work is done.
Soon you'll be going home.
Soon you'll be going home.
Back home, back home, going home.
Stay alert, don't lose your way.
Rise to face another day.
Keep the faith with those who walk beside you.
Guard the love that's in your heart.
Treasure friendships 'til they part.
Live your life and know that others need you.
Slowly, slowly up the hill,
It's time to be going home.
Smiling faces gather around.
Time to be going home.
Journey's over now it's time to rest,
Life moves on.
Close your eyes now and just let go,
Time to be going home.
Time to be going home.
With love, with love, going home

Follow The Sun
04:16
|
|||
|
Spent my life in a tenement block...
Factory walls... tickety-tock.
Dreary Sundays, Pick Of The Pops... (can you)
Sing Something Simple... (and) Don't be too loud.
Nine to five in an office in town...
Just passing the time... Day after day.
So, I'm away, I'm leaving today,
Not hanging around to be found.
Time to unwind, made up my mind
To follow the sun.
Daily news of a war in the East...
Brings us no peace... tearing them down
Techno cowboys swagger around...
Nothing has changed in ten thousand years.
Shades of grey on the company pay...
Life in the slow lane...Day after day.
So, I'm away, I'm leaving today,
Not hanging around to be found.
Time to unwind, made up my mind
To follow the sun.
Seashore and sand just stretching away.
(the) Sun's in the sky, (it) Shines all day.
Water so blue, nobody knew,
Could be so true.
So, I'm away, I'll follow the sun,
(my) Life has begun... Here I come...
Follow the sun... Life has begun...
Follow the sun

Miss You
05:50
|
|||
|
I'm on my own, but not alone,
You seem so clear, I feel you near.
As I catch your eye
And see you smiling in a faded photograph.
I come alive again,
Happy thinking of a better day...
Oh, how I miss you.
Oh, how I miss you.
Oh, how I miss you.
Try night and day, to find a way,
To start again and laugh with friends.
But it never works
I just end up in a crumpled heap again.
With an empty heart
And the memory won't go away...
Oh, how I miss you...
I never cried, the day you died.
I didn't see you go from me.
And you left me here
Clinging onto a shadow that keeps me sane.
Living half a life,
Until I can be with you again..
Oh, how I miss you...

What A Day
04:17
|
|||
|
What a day! I miss you when you're far away,
Can't settle in the same old way...
To get through the day.
Sitting here, I can see you laughing, having fun,
So I pour myself another one...
Makes the pain go away.
And I wonder who you're talking to, tonight?
Yes, I wonder who you're talking to, tonight?
What a day! We didn't have a lot to say,
And no-one listens anyway...
(Each) in our own little world.
Don't you know? You know you were the only one,
I remember we had so much fun...
Now it's all come undone.
And I wonder who you're dancing with tonight?
Yes, I wonder who you're dancing with tonight?
What a day! I'm tired of being on my own,
Don't want to do it all alone...
I'm just fading away.
No return, guess we'll have to say what's done is done,
And I feel as though I'm on the run...
But there's no-where to go.
And I wonder who you're leaving with tonight?
Yes, I wonder who you're leaving with tonight?

Times That We Had
04:40
|
|||
|
Try to remember when I was just small,
Born in a world, there were no cares at all.
Bike rides, exploring and games in the park...
These were the times that we had.
Ooooh, it all seems so long ago.
Ooooh, was it really true?
When I remember the times we had,
Brings me closer to you.
Days long and happy with seashore and sand,
Holding on tight to a comforting hand.
Lie on the grass watch the clouds sailing by...
These were the times that we had.
Ooooh, it all seems so long ago.
Ooooh, was it really true?
When I remember the times we had,
Brings me closer to you.
And we'll dance again together,
As I take your hand in mine.
And this dance will last for ever,
Spinning through the mists of time
Hey, don't go thinking I've always been old.
There was a time I was daring and bold,
No thought of consequence, taking a chance...
These were the times that we had.
Ooooh, it all seems so long ago.
Ooooh, was it really true?
When I remember the times we had,
Brings me closer to you.
And we'll dance again together,
As I take your hand in mine.
And this dance will last for ever,
Spinning through the mists of time
And this dance will last for ever,
Spinning through the mists of time
