Oh you're born alone and die the same
In between can take a while
Only one drop in the sea of time
Sometimes makes it hard to smile
If you find someone to share your life
Things are never quite the same
Years we have travelled seem like days gone past
And we've known so little pain
DADA
At this point in time I stand alone
To the phone I'm holding on
DADAZELA MAMA
DADA
Outside people stare as if to say
We know there's nobody home
Hold me when you're lonely
Hold me when you're lonely
When the papers read that all is lost
Only darkness lies ahead
I'll speak softly and soothe and chase the fear
And on me you rest your head
DADA
When the nights are hot with heavy air
Or it's freezing to the bone
DADAZELA MAMA
DADA
You may lie drunk in the city square
You may feel lost and forlorn
Hold me when you're lonely
Hold me when you're lonely
Can I Hold You?
Can I hold you in my arms tonight?
Can I make your head and body light?
Can I tell you everything?
Can I make your sweet heart sing?
Can I discover about you?
I never feel alone when I'm with you
I never have to talk when I'm with you
It really is a lonely world
It helps if you have someone to hold
I want that someone to be you
You are never far away from my day dreams
There never are the words to say
For in our world we're one
And with every rising sun there is you
Can I hold you in my arms tonight?
Can I make your head and body light?
Can I tell you everything?
Can I make your sweet heart sing?
Can I discover about you?
I never feel alone when I'm with you
I never have to talk when I'm with you
It really is a lonely world
It helps if you have someone to hold
I want that someone to be you
Looking For Jack
Everybody's always looking for Jack
In the fire and in the water
Everybody's always looking for Jack
In the streets and on the corners
I always wanted to be like Jack
He's as cool as they come
Yes I always wanted to be like Jack
Still for me, he's the one
Someday...Someday...Someday...Someday...
Hear the wind blow through the long grass
I hear laughter in the night
No revelations as the years pass
They disappear from sight
As I grow older I grow younger
Every day is like a dream
I wouldn't go back for a moment
Except for maybe seventeen
Everybody's always looking for Jack
In the fire and in the water
Everybody's always looking for Jack
In the streets and on the corners
Even Jack is always looking for Jack
He's always in another room
And when I spoke to the woman there
She said he left this afternoon
Someday...Someday...
Master Of Crime
Tell me inspector how do you feel?
We know you're doing all you can
Your quest in life is to catch the one
For this you need to have a plan
And the name is Maurion about whom is this song
He does things that are wrong
But he does them in the right way
Yes he's a mystery man
Catch him if you can
You'll need a guiding light, for he only travels by night
Ariba ooh...
A criminal is what she may be
It's time to catch the midnight hour
She has the knack when she commits a crime
To have the beauty of a flower
Yes she's a master of crime
Yes she's a master of crime
She's a legend in her own time
Ariba ooh...
Tell me inspector how do you sleep
You know you're doing all you can
Driven mad by trances oh so deep
Your faceless shadow of a man
Yes he's a master of crime
Yes he's a master of crime
He's a legend in his own time (try and catch him if you can)
Running around the streets at night in search of Maurion
Inspector Garras of the French police and his trusted servant Fong
Keeping watch from the Eiffel Tower
Toujours merci et bien
Drinking coffee 'til the early hours in the Cafe Parisienne
It's after cocktail hour
Only then she feels the power
The only sign left at the scene of crime
Is a sweet and scented flower
Yes she's a master of crime
Yes she's a master of crime
She's a legend in her own time
Ariba ooh...
Puerto Rico
Lolita standing on the corner
Such beauty in one so young
Her eyes stare only for a moment
With the sun's glare
She is gone
It's one world, one world to another
No warning of things to come
The splendour one side of the picture
Only one glimpse have to run
It's OK down in Puerto Rico
All the people say
Must come back here some day
It's OK down in Puerto Rico
Come what may there's always church on Sunday
It's midday
All the streets are quiet
People sleep through the hot day sun
With darkness atmosphere's appealing
The night holds promise of things to come
It's OK here in Puerto Rico
All the people sway
We slip into a new day
It's OK here in Puerto Rico
If there's a way we'll come back here some day
It's one bar then onto another
In the centre of old San Juan
Ten thousand people standing on the sidewalks
I drink with each and every one
It's OK here in Puerto Rico
All the people say you must come back here someday
It's OK here in Puerto Rico
Come what may there's always church on Sunday
It's OK here in Puerto Rico
As the people sway
We drink into a new day
It's OK here in Puerto Rico
If there's a way we'll come back here some day
Ways Of The World
Who's that standing by the window
I've seen that face someplace before
Now he's staring at the table
I wonder if he's here to score
If I could grasp a good clear picture
Like turning on a naked light
Only then could I relax and feel
That I was doing something right
Sights and sounds constantly bombard me
Sway and move from side to side
Find it hard to stop and concentrate
And in the middle of the night
I say...
Wish I knew all the ways of the world
Yes if I only knew
If I knew all the ways of the world
There is something I'd do
Who's that drowning in the river
I had this dream one time before
I quickly dive into the rescue
And live so happy evermore
But things they get so complicated
And your face it fades away
These are symptoms that I recognize
So to myself I softly say
Wish I knew all the ways of the world
Yes if I only knew
If I knew all the ways of the world
There is something I'd do
Wish I knew all the ways of the world
Yes if I only knew
If I knew all the ways of the world
There is something I'd do
I Don't Need You Anymore
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore now
When you leave please close the door
I can't stand it any more
Now you're gone
On and on, I'll carry on
Are you here to give me pain?
Behind your eyes you're still the same now
Please don't smile and play those games
And don't pretend that you have changed
Now be gone
On and on, I'll carry on
When first I knew you'd gone
The wind grew colder
But after the pain had gone
I felt much older
You had my very soul and my completeness
And now I find you here
You leave me speechless
I don't need you any more
No you can't sleep on the floor now
You'd stay a while and then you'd go
And I can't love you any more
Now please be gone
On and on, I'll carry on
Circles Erratica
Sometimes I'm invisible
I'm nowhere to be seen
Kicked like a tin can
Into the shape of a man
Trying so hard to break in so
I can burst out
Perspectives every changing
leaving me in doubt
I've got a chronic disorder
I'm balanced between
the edge of a razor
trying to cut clean
Got my eyes on the road
Trying to keep steady
Got my hand on the wheel
I feel I'm nearly ready
Hope that's me who's dreaming
And that's not me who's screaming
Want to wake up warm
not tattered and torn
Still for all the killing
there's nobody winning
Want to spit it out
Want to scream and shout
Lying in the gutter
I heard someone mutter
Creeping the shadows
trying to get home
Like the swing and the see saw
Hard to keep steady
But with some rearranging
I feel I'm nearly ready
Sometimes I'm invisible
I'm nowhere to be seen
Kicked like a tin can
Into a Sugar Ray man
Hope that's me who's dreaming
And that's not me who's screaming
Want to wake up warm
not tattered and torn
Lying in the gutter
I heard someone stutter
Creeping the shadows
trying to get home
Got my eyes on the road
Trying to keep steady
Got my hand on the wheel
I feel I'm nearly ready
Fisherman's Friend
I stand alone on the harbour
Look out on the bay
The wind and rain makes it harder
No-one braves the storm today
Distant bells and the gulls cry (familiar sound)
My clothes are damp from the spray
The air is cold but my feet are even colder
The boats are where they're going to stay
I never thought I'd ever worry about the weather
I never used to care
But it becomes too real when it provides the meals
For you and many far away
But there's always the promise of tomorrow
Only light winds on our tail
To sail the seas is such sweet sorrow
Together with all the old familiar smells
In this blissful hell full of fearful joy
The ocean waits for its prey
The night's a thief and at the end of the day
Steals the light away
I stand alone in the harbour
I still look out on the bay
The wind and rain makes it harder
No-one braves the storm today
I can't see anything, only what's ahead
And what gets washed up on the shore
There are so many things either left unsaid
Or spoken a million times before
