are there That's why I'm holding out My love for you I ain't the fool I may look like a stranger with nothing to say Silent in the corner while you're talking away Your theories are endless, your lips never sleep No time for reflection, there's no tongue in your cheek Oh no, I ain't fool here Oh no, I ain't fool here The muscles in your mouth must be stronger than steel You can talk till forever but ain't got no feel Your scull must be empty, your brain cells run dry Calling everybody Learning nothing till the day that you die Oh no, I ain't fool here Oh no, I ain't fool here I can hear your heartbeat (1983) In the silence of the side street In the whisper of the night From the darkness of the empty hours To the early morning light From the hustle down on main street With all it's lights so bright To the trucker on the highway Pressing through the night I can hear you heartbeat I can hear you heartbeat Girl, the sound of you is so sweet I'm in a European disco And it's thumping up the beat There's a jukebox in a cafe... Where the younger ones can meet We got freezing Coca-Cola We got anything you want I'm moving on that back beat Girl, but it's you that sings the song 'Cos I can hear you heartbeat I can hear you heartbeat The sound of you is so sweet And I'm sailing on your wind song Oh, I can feel the summer breeze You've got me walking on my tiptoes You've got me standing on my knees From the mills way down in Pittsburgh To the clubs of gay Paris No matter where I roam, girl, You can always get to me And I still hear your heartbeat Yea I still hear your heartbeat Girl, the sound of you is so sweet, to me * From the screaming desolation * Of the English northern coast * That's where I met my darling * That's where we made the most * Made the most of what we got * We made the most of what we got And I still hear your heartbeat Yea I still hear your heartbeat Girl, the sound of you is so sweet, to me (Marked part only live in Montreaux 1986) I can hear your heartbeat (1988) In the silence of the side street In the whisper of the night From the darkness of the empty hours To the early morning light From the hustle down on main street With all it's lights so bright To the trucker on the highway Pressing through the night I can hear you heartbeat I can hear you heartbeat Girl, the sound of you is so sweet To me And I'm sailing on your wind song Oh, I can feel the summer breeze You've got me walking on my tiptoes You've got me standing on my knees From the mills way down in Pittsburgh To the clubs of gay Paris Ah, no matter where I roam, girl, You can always get to me I can hear you heartbeat I can hear you heartbeat Girl, the sound of you is so sweet To me We got freezing Coca-Cola We got anything you want I moving on that back beat Girl, but it's you that sings the song 'Cos I can hear you heartbeat I can hear you heartbeat The sound of you is so sweet To me Oh I still hear your heartbeat Yea I still hear your heartbeat Girl, the sound of you is so sweet, to me I can't dance to that Now there's no storyline Just a real good time And I don't want to seem to be mistaken But there's a tale to tell On this road to hell It's in between the lines the case I'm making Oh, lord, look my way Save me from these crazy things I see I don't know what's going on round here these days But I can't dance to that Oh, I can't dance to that So let me dance to this 'Cos I can't dance to that If you'll excuse me please You see I got to go And take myself before I'm past redemption A voice is calling out As if I didn't know This wretched road is paved with good intentions All the way Down this Judas track I know it so well And I ain't going back I don't know what happened to the good time songs But I can't dance to that Oh, I can't dance to that So let me dance to this 'Cos I can't dance to that Tell me what you know Take away these chains What stood in front of me it looks so pretty But I can't dance to a cold machine Oh, lord, and every drummer you know just what I mean Oh, I can't dance to that So let me dance to this I don't care anymore I don't care anymore All the things I hear you say Don't care anymore You're always lying anyway Got a sweet little girl

Gonna hear it some more I don't care I don't care anymore I don't know what it is but I love it Could it be just that I'm crazy Could it be the way I feel this time of year When a certain situation seems to bring the best out of me I don't care When she's standing close beside me Something turns inside me Brings my senses to the point of no return And I don't know what it is but I love And I don't know what it is but I want it to stay And I love it And it seems to be around me Even though no-one can see They seem to care When a certain situation seems to bring the best out of me I don't care When she's standing close beside me Something turns inside me Brings my senses to the point of no return And I don't know what it is but I love And I don't know what it is but I want it to stay And I love it If anybody asks you Instrumental If you choose to go There's a street outside my window There's a light outside my door There's a road straight through this old town There's a boat on every shore There's a promise down that freeway But there is no guarantee There are dreams on every ocean There are storms on every sea If you choose to go Now I've been out upon that ocean Sometimes further that before Sometimes not even past my waistline And I screamed at what I saw Many times along that freeway Returning sometimes beat There are dreams on every ocean There are storms on every

acting kind of funny Like you don't seem to understand Stop complaining You've been caught fair and square I saw you coming I was guarding you that day I saw you coming Golden rule, you disobeyed You were too busy showing off How you gave yourself away Stop complaining You've been caught fair and square I saw you coming I was guarding you that day I saw you coming I thought I was going to lose you I thought that I was going to lose you Just for a moment you looked like slipping away And my only thought was to come with you There was no other reason to stay Now I'm sinking in a river of happy returns Though I'm tired I can do nothing but sigh For the greatest relief I'm so thankful As I gaze at your coming-back smile Lord, I thought I was going to lose you Yes, I thought I was going to lose you It's all gone A careless heart ain't no good to no-one I was going back my friends to see Of what became of my childhood daydreams Of all the things that used to be To my surprise I stood alone I walked a river of a waking dream My father say 'Know what you're thinking' I guess this old town seen better days It's all gone Ain't nothing for you here now Sail on You talk of change, something better Cutting down that big old tree There's flesh and blood in there somewhere But no matter what you just don't seem to see I walk your chambers, your empty halls I see you talking behind the doors My father say 'Know what you're thinking' I guess this old town seen better days It's all gone Ain't nothing for you here now Sail on I'm sailing on, I'm running faster Than I ever run before My father say 'Know what you're thinking' I guess this old town seen better days Sail on Johnny needs a fast car Johnny needs a fast car Johnny needs it bad Johnny always do the best whatever

But I will come through Josephine, I'll send you all my love And every single step I take I take for you Josephine There's a storm on my radar But I can still fly And you are the reason The blue in my sky Josephine A life without meaning I was walking away In the coldest of winters Night becomes day Josephine, I'll send you all my love And every single step I take I take for you Josephine Josie's tune Instrumental Joys of Christmas I see all the tough guys still not 25 Dying on their feet Coughing, honking, cadging cigarettes And still out on the street Well, they got no money, nowhere to go Fathers of 2, 3 maybe 4, what are they gonna do Jimmy got a busted mouth in a fight last night He says he's OK Going down to the workies club (that's a laugh) To buy something strong and take the pain away Joys of Christmas Joys of Christmas Northern style Flashing Christmas light of police blue Go spinning down the street Women try to drag the men from pubs Into the stores And work hands in empty pockets deep We stand outside the neon ice and wish ourselves the best He says he's OK, out of work and fighting Is all he's ever known And laughs and says I worry too much anyway Joys of Christmas Joys of Christmas Northern style Let's drink to the likes of Jim Before we all go insane And please don't ask me why It'll take too long to explain Joys of Christmas Julia Eyes so bright, so big and wide Make you feel so strange Somewhere deep inside It's the face of an angel Soul of the devil may care How I'd love to know What goes on in there She needs your love She needs it every day But speak of love See her laugh and run away Julia, which way will you go Julia, I wanna know Julia, only the moon and stars Julia, know just where you are Julia See the dance that needs no alibi Oh you don't need to dream When you know you can fly She needs your love She needs it every day But speak of love See her laugh and run away Julia, which way will you go Julia, I wanna know Julia, only the moon and stars Julia, know just where you are Julia Just one of those days Cold red sunsets that freeze the rainbows out Standing here in the rain I've been thinking how, how much happier I have been since you came Staring down at the sidewalk shining Satin winds floating down Change the crystals on ladies faces I think I'll stick around Laden gutters, flowing over Hit the streets and explode Young girls laughing and make up streaming Go running down the road I've been thinking and too much drinking And things I just don't dare to say It's still raining but who's complaining It's just one of those days Just passing through Soldiers of fortune lost in the wind No destinations and nothing to win Keep your head above the water, you get dirty and mean Scrubbing forever and you never come clean A life that is easy, a dream that comes true Flowers for someone but they sure ain't for me Your room's filled with soft light, safe and secure Mine is the dark night and nothing's for sure We're just passing trough A life that is easy, a dream to be free Flowers for someone but they sure ain't for you And they sure ain't for me We're just passing trough Just want to be with you Deep inside the burning histories All along this lonesome road The wheels that turn upon what used to be In passioned memories, overload The truckhouse standing on the freeway A neon ambush in the sun The ides of dogma way down in the subway It's so hard to tell who's on the run The hell-hound blizzards of uncertainties Are the only things that are coming through And I just want to be with you There's not a lot I can do Just keep coming through Be with you The smile that burned down those old rusting gates Those eyes that danced into my soul And all along this life-long motorway Bad news upon the radio The nervous fingers on the safety-catch Decide the fates to of you and me Stuck in the middle of this whole shooting match Man this sure ain't no place to be The good guys sent to save The good and free All scratch their heads and looked confused And I just want to be with you Let it loose There's no sense in waiting So lets make a start I got a poisoned finger On a broken heart Don't have time for reasons Or feel inclined to quiz The past is over That's just the way it is Start it up Start it up And let it loose on me Let it loose on me We could sit forever Or we could take all night Of the whys and where fores Of the wrongs and rights Crazy situation, anyhow Turning on frustration So tell me why not now Let it loose on me Start it up Start it up And let it loose on me Let it loose on me Let's dance When you sing of the joy only love can bring Heaven knows it's in my heart and my soul Caught in a world full of tears So many bad times and fears So while there's a chance and you're near Let's dance Let's dance There's a world far away from the one we see There's a dream I will never let go One thing is certainly true This moment's for me and for you So while there's not a thing that we can do Let's dance Let's dance Light of hope This is the garden that I know Ten thousand summers wait me here You lead and I will follow Your heart is mine tomorrow Into your womb I fade away And while she laughs Your pride is turning into snow And melting on the face of this light of hope Shine on, light of hope Light of hope And while she laughs Your pride is turning into snow And dancing on the graves of what you thought you used to know And in this garden I will burn my callous robes And forever love my darling Light of hope Little blonde plaits Sweet September, I remember Eyes of August deepest blue While the lazy town was sleeping Strangest love that I ever knew Feel the wind blow, see the shadows Kiss the breeze of a sudden shore Of my life's loves and fascinations The only one who left me wanting more Little blonde plaits Drink to you love, drink to me love Sun burned feet on a dusty track Evening waves that turned in twilight Caught forever those little blonde plaits Looking for a rainbow Well we come down to the valley Yea we're looking for the honey I see a rainbow I say that's the land of milk and honey Me and my cousin Me and my brother My little sister too Come looking for a rainbow Yea we're looking for a rainbow Well we come down to the valley Got our babies in our arms Yea we're Maggie's little children And we're looking for Maggie's farm Me and my cousin Me and my brother My little sister too Come looking for a rainbow Yea we're looking for a rainbow Well we come down to the valley We ain't far away no more You can't leave us dying this time 'Cos we're all around your door Me and my cousin Me and my brother My little sister too Come looking for a rainbow Yea we're looking for a rainbow Looking for the summer Look deep inside the April face A change is clearly taking place Looking for the summer The eyes take on a certain gaze And leave behind the springtime days Go looking for the summer This ain't no game of kiss and tell The implications how you know so well Go looking for the summer The time has come and they must go To play the passion out that haunts you so Looking for the summer Remember love how it was the same We scratched and hurt each others growing pains We were looking for the summer And still I stand this very day With a burning wish to fly away I'm still looking, looking for the summer Love's strange ways When passion shines her blinding light on you You know my friend there's nothing that you can really do Just follow on behind her veil of deepest purple haze Down, to love's strange ways Drowning in a laughter as you go Intoxicating laughter that spins you high and low Dangerous times are these, but oh so wonderfully new Laugh along you fool, can't you they're laughing at you Lost in the haze Of love's strange ways Ain't it funny how it turns When it's all over, nothing's learned Just a passion and a fool And a memory that burns And that's what you get When you play with love's strange ways Love turns to lies I could have stood to watch you walk away And put it down to your uncertain ways Or maybe baby you've had a change of heart Maybe wanna make a brand new start Crazy though what I say may seem I could have learned to mend these broken dreams You could have pushed I would have gently fell I could have played the graceful one so well What's that you say You were gonna leave me anyway Any fool can see, see what you've done to me When your love turns to lies The actor played the part of sweet desire And tiptoed out upon the highest wire The truth to tell upon a rope too thin And so the fall of treachery begins But oh to see the starlet's smiling face So eagerly awaits to take the place I tried to fall in a clean and graceful way You could have said I would have given way And I see him smile the way that I smiled And I hear him laugh the way that I did But I hear him screaming and I hear him cry And I see him falling When your love turns to lies What's that you say You were gonna leave me anyway Any fool can see, see what you've done to me When your love turns to lies Loving you The night was black with thunder The streets were wet with rain Another day goes under A little bourbon will take the strain And I'm waiting for my take-home French fries She smiled and said 'take me away' We always laughed but I think she means it But I'm dreaming my life away Loving you Loving you the way that I do The weekend cars are leaving In a spray of wind and sound The bar-talk, make believing And the drinks go easy down It's back to the all-night take-away She says 'Here comes the man of my dreams' We always laugh but I think she means it And I'm spending my time Just loving you Loving you the way that I do Loving you again It's been so long now since we first met But the time and place I will never forget Darling, never Trough good and bad we stood the tested time You say I'm yours and darling you're still mine Forever So smile for me 'Cos it's there for all to see After all this time Through the rain and tears After all this time After all these years I'm only loving you again And I'll keep holding on girl I won't let go I want you near me where ever I go Please say, forever And I give thanks for what you've given me And in my heart girl there'll always be A light That shines through the darkest night After all this time Through the rain and tears After all this time After all these years I'm only loving you again So smile for me 'Cos it's there for all to see After all this time Through the rain and tears After all this time After all these years I'm only loving you again Through the rain and tears till the sun dries up the sea till the rivers they run dry I'm gonna be loving you again Lucky day A little bit of daylight shine on your pillow Come through your window pane Speak of the morning, hope is eternal Better to look at it this way This could be my lucky day A glass filled with crystals, six million rainbows Gifted to see with children's eyes Always a small chance shooting that rainbow Bless this dawn with sweet surprise This could be my lucky day No inhibitions, naive forever Better looking up than looking down Don't try to beat it, twist and defeat it Leave those kind of complications never to be found This could be my lucky day Melancholy Instrumental Midnight blue I got my money I got it here in my hand OK let me tell you This is how we stand I've waited so long Good things, never too late So don't take no chances Leave nothing to faith I wanna walk tall in midnight blue Look good, oh so good Step out in midnight blue Midnight blue I watch the razors with their class and their style Dressed to kill, man Their lives is just one great big smile And oh I wanna be there When they dish that stuff out Cool and collected Man that's what it's all about So gimme, gimme, gimme I want midnight blue I love midnight blue I'm gonna step out in midnight blue So gimme, gimme, gimme midnight blue Midnight blue I walk tall in midnight blue Look good, oh so good In midnight blue Miles is a cigarette The weak and hazy shades of winter sun Come shining through Lifting fog from the trees and a gentle warm breeze Send it up in to the blue Blue sky and you come creeping through my soul Goodbye our love's smoking too And the sound of those Italian engines Is much more the sound of you Miles was a cigarette smoky and long Gonna miss what I never had Now that cigarette is gone New way I go to work in a bubble I got everything I need I get so high on no trouble It's a great feeling, being free I say a prayer at thanksgiving I bless the night and the day I look up to the sky with a smile on my face And I praise the lord of the new way The sweetest sound I ever knew Was the sound of reason falling Like the summer rain And the truth washed the pain away New way I don't watch TV anymore Don't need to see it now we all know the score And all the politicians know what they're there for It's a new way New way No qualifications Now he wanted to fly all those big aeroplanes Trans-continental and back home again But his brain, it was grounded His head could not cope No qualifications, no reasons for hope They told him the right way to fasten his tie Beat him for laughing and never said why They left his for dead when the results came through And still never asked what he wanted to do No qualifications so late in the day We've screwed you up, well, now you make your own way Now to label your trousers and label your shoes If you don't wear nothing then label that too No qualifications, you are the time born If you wanna succeed you better get some qualifications So late in the day We've screwed you up, well, now you make your own way Nothing's happening by the sea Salty river Falls asleep in the bay Always gets there Never early, never late Nothing's happening Nothing's happening by the sea White waves tumble down And gently roll back into blue On wooden seats outside the bar The couples make their rendezvous Nothing's happening Nothing's happening by the sea The trouble has been found There's too far ups and too many downs I found a level that feels just right There's no mistaking where I'm going tonight Nothing's happening Nothing's happening by the sea Nothing to fear I feel your heat in dusty whispers The wind is cold around your moon It's getting hard to keep our distance I know your time is coming soon Don't point your dream on my horizon Don't take your rose too far from home Please don't forget we're not each other Each soul has black thorns of his own I see you dancing Your song is clear You've got to show me, got to show me There's nothing to fear Nothing to fear I have my loved ones you have yours So let us gaze upon the feast In God's own name let's eat together In God's own name please come in peace See how our children play together While you and me we stand alone I know we'll never be each other If I leave you leave me alone I see you dancing Your song is clear You've got to show me, got to show me There's nothing to fear Nothing to fear No work today Instrumental One fine day She's standing by the waterside, she's waiting for her man On the evening wind, she hears the whistle blow It's coming from the factory, she hears it every day Her soft cheeks flush, he's on his way They're going where the sun is shining They're going for that silver lining They're gonna work and make it pay And she say 'mmm, well, one fine day Spread those wings, fly away' Now I don't lie, no, cold wind and rain Gonna sail away one fine day Now hope, it springs eternally At least that's what they say Boy, it gets hard to feel that way When he sees his little darling hide The tear with a smile he say 'come here baby, now don't you cry' One golden rule There's a heart in the middle of somewhere tonight Screaming for reasons or just a way out I put the shirt off my back on a wager that says There's one every night from my old school yard days I hear you say one golden rule One golden rule There's been times I've been stood in the wind and the rain Freezing and busted and tricked out of luck And I cursed my teachers for all of their reading What we needed most can't be found in them books One golden rule Now they teach you to swim but they don't speak of the danger Tell you the truth but they never say why Put you on ice that is thin and tell you it's winter Without one golden rule the truth is a lie One golden rule One sweet tender touch Heartbeat, way down on Cove Street Playing to lady luck, awaiting that tender touch Fantasy is the trick of the dance you see Hiding that need for love and wanting you close to me Oh that one sweet and tender touch That's what I'm missing and need so much One sweet and tender touch Bright light Pretty colours that shine on all through the night I don't need them, not half as much As I'm wanting your tender touch And loneliness makes the strongest heart a wilderness That's wilder than you see, is wanting you close to me For that one sweet and tender touch That's what I'm missing and need so much One sweet and tender touch Only with you I was down, nowhere bound Needed love, any love Something new, breezy and bashful but true Changing my whole point of view Suddenly someone, a midnight romancer A Romeo dancer in blue But only with you Only with you No more rain, no more chains No more cold lonely sleepless nights Laughing eyes, wider than midsummer skies Crazy but don't ask me why Suddenly someone, a midnight romancer A Romeo dancer in blue But only with you Only with you Once a Lone Star rider who danced in super cool Now a Romeo, it's true But only with you Only with you On the beach Between the eyes of love I call your name Behind the guarded walls I used to go Upon a summer wind there's a certain melody Takes me back to the place that I know Down on the beach The secrets of the summer I will keep The sands of time will blow a mystery No-one but you and I Underneath that moonlit sky Take me back to the place that I know On the beach Forever in my dreams my heart will be Hanging on to this sweet memory A day of strange desire And a night that burned like fire Take me back to the place that I know On the beach Out of the darkness There's an empty street in an empty town There's an old boutique selling ageing gowns Some words on the walls that were written By the light of the moon so bright Can you hear me, can you her me tonight Take me out of this darkness and in to the morning light The rain that falls doesn't make me cry And the wind that blows cannot hurt my eyes But the things that I see when I turn on TV Make me wanna lie down and die Can you hear me, can you her me tonight Take me out of this darkness and in to the morning light Can you hear me Take me out of this darkness and in to the morning light Que sera There's a feathered cloud in an open sky And the pale-tailed moon goes sailing by This old engine housing's streaked with rain And we're pushing down on them chains again Friend we're like the wind that blows Like the sea we come and go And I'm not trying to tell you How I think that it should be I know deep down inside We are yearning to be free And you're only gonna think of No 1 So what am I to say No matter what you do We're always hurting anyway Forever our hearts will be Always running for what we see By the strings of this old guitar I swear, Que sera And you're rolling down old runway ten And the present becomes the past and then Rotating through the driving rain And you're way above those clouds again And I'm not trying to tell you How I think that it should be I know deep down inside We are yearning to be free And you're only gonna think of No 1 So what am I to say No matter what you do We're always hurting anyway Forever our hearts will be Always running for what we see By the strings of this old guitar I swear, Que sera Raincoat and a rose Rain, tears of joy, tears of pain Is this really me Standing here at the station The card said I mustn't be late I've never been late I've never really had the chance Years and years and not even wanting a second chance 'Look for a raincoat and a rose' I hope no one sees, they'll laugh I know He was always like that, yes it always showed Did I do something wrong to have to pay In many more ways than one Rainy day, what do I say How simple it's all become Love is for fools and fools have no grace Damn them while you can Out here on the fence is such a lonely place I wish I was foolish now The greatest of pain is never really knowing Maybe today I'll find out this way The way that I'm going Reasons Set my sails out on a sunny day Pretty soon I was on my way Though what for sure it was I could not say Two thousand reasons Maybe more Eight hundred chances on faraway shores Searching for something Searching for more Deep down inside me burning Reasons for the learning Now you can pick up reasons so easily Where you've been and where you've got to be And when the truth don't show you'll always see Lots of reasons And pretty soon you've got a heavy load Dragging those reasons down an endless road I got to thinking and I got to see So many reasons coming at me The one that leaves you high and dry He says you still owe him, there's a reason why He'll leave you crying till the tears run dry He's the one, always the one with all the reasons So many reasons the come and they go The reasons for them I'll never know I've seen so many, they've come and they've gone I've turned all mine in and I'm happy with one So don't talk of friendship, do it to me Make me an offer and make it for free Don't give me reasons 'cos I wrote that song I only want love now so I'll just take the one Red Put your hand in the paintbox and choose Which one says the most about you I would have to pick the deepest shade The saddest shade of blue But red is colour I'd choose Red is colour I'd choose I set my soul long ago and far away Oh it's written down so deep it can never fade away Though so many years have come and gone Through my life one thing has stayed An eternal light that shines clean through the grey Red is colour I'd choose Deepest red on a sky of deepest blue It don't matter now if I should win If I should win or lose 'Cos red is colour I'd choose If I waste my time away waiting just for you I don't care what others say 'Cos baby I just love, love what you do Red is colour I'd choose Deepest red on a sky of deepest blue It don't matter now if I should win If I should win or lose 'Cos red is colour I'd choose Red shoes I was born a beggar With the garbage round my feet The devil lived in every hole And every corner of the street When misery is all there is You got nothing to lose So come on and buy me Come on and buy me Some red, red, red shoes Don't tell me what I do is wrong Don't preach 'cos you don't know 'Cos I was left without a chance Such a long time ago And anything is better Than being cut and bruised So come on and buy me Some red, red, red shoes Don't tell me what I do is wrong Don't preach 'cos you don't know 'Cos I was left without a chance Such a long time ago And anything is better Than being battered and bruised So come on and buy me Some red, red, red shoes Ruby blue Sleep well tonight You've done well today Sleep well tonight Let your body drift away See your dreams Coming true Step out of the grey And in to the new Sleep well tonight Sleep well tonight Ruby blue Ruby blue Runaway Sitting at the crossways Trying to keep my cool with the traffic lights I've been up and down this line so any times Girl, it's never right Me and this machine keep the crazy urban dream Locked in overflow Sometimes I swear I could spin these old wheels Just let it go Runaway Is it something that you hear Coming through the waves on the radio Or something that you see gently taps your memory And shoots you down Those hometown thoughts, school yard dreams and yesterdays Moving in I just put my head down and drift away And we're moving up and down, in and out of town We're all searching for that piece of higher ground somewhere... Runaway Seabird I can't run In your eyes there's no place left to hide You've seen my every mystery just show itself and die So I will fly before you And all is all to see Take my hand, understand, there're no more foolish dreams So many things we just can't share Are standing in between So I will fly before you And all is all to see I will always want you near in the shallow lights of day No-one else will share my nights is all that I can say And I will always want you But I will always fly like a seabird And I will always love you But I will always fly September blue (1985) Sweet, sweet September Sweet, sweet and true I'll always, I'll always remember you Sweet, sweet September blue Always remember you And I can't fight it And I can't choose The more she wins me The less I lose Sweet, sweet September Sweet, sweet and true I'll always, I'll always remember you Sweet September blue September blue (1987) Your head spins round on a Monday And the daylight's in your eyes How you laughed and cursed tomorrow Now he's standing by your side You touched the stars at midnight The whole world seem to shout 'Hello' Now your throat is tired and heavy And only one can go I'll be all right though I may cry The tears that flow they always dry It's just that I would rather be with you now And every time I see that star I will say a prayer for you Now and forever September blue I'll be all right though I may cry The tears that flow they always dry It's just that I would rather be with you now And every time I see that star I will say a prayer for you Now and forever September blue 'Cos I'll always love you September blue Se sequi Instrumental Set me free Wake up See the morning light This is you This is today You try so hard to get it right Can't help thinking somewhere you've lost your way When was the last time You saw a smile? There's a scream on every silent face you see They're singing set me free I got a friend who burns like a fire Says there's only thing you'll ever know It's out there somewhere Way past the sunset line Way out on the open road And me I'm always looking down Down that road out of town Each morning and night you can see me I'm singing set me free Set me free Goodnight Auberge I leave you now You must sleep while I work the day till I return To dream of you Through the night And that free, freeway Shamrock diaries In waves of people you can lose your feet You've got to stay hard, to the ground It gets so easy now to lose your way When you're ever outward bound A church bell ringing in the fading light Stops you dead like a cold steel wall The ghost of yesteryears is toughing you And as sure as God you'll fall And I see me and I see you I see it all just like it used to be And all the reasons why it started out Hit you hard with every bell The choir practice in the empty hall Is a sound that you know so well Like something lost inside your overcoat You find it later, by mistake You lost it all a thousand years ago And you pray it's not too late And I see me and I see you I see it all just like it used to be And I see me and I see you I see it all just like a diary Now I remember everything Yea I remember how it used to be With every note that choirboy sings And I see me and I see you I see it all just like it used to be She closed her eyes She closed her eyes And let the walls of her prison fall away The walls that ached with a timeless wait They had become her walls of this modern TV life She closed her eyes And let them fall away And in her dreams she is standing by an ocean She is gazing out to sea She can remember with just a fleeting glimpse That she was once free So long ago now, so long it was as if it had never been Was it a holiday She thinks it could have been, ah yes, Italy And he closes his eyes And he is gone far away Gone from all the confusion Gone from all the pain He can easily see what a pointless waste His modern life has become Chasing the gravy grain Chasing the dollar Chasing the clock Chasing his male friends Chasing the boss Chasing as it was everything It was nothing Only the sound of his own breathing was all he had At the end of the day And reasons to wonder, reasons to cry Too late for this selfish sinner who never asked why She gave it away She gave away all her love No reason to keep it She'd saved it for only one But he didn't need it And downtown the midnight circus Hypnotised like a spinning top Offering dreams, like the gloss magazines She had so much to give so she gave it away And all of the loves you've known There must have been someone Who gave you that starry night And whose gonna point the finger Only those who never known She lost and she cried, the tears run dry She had so much to give so she gave it away Mary was like you and I She remembers how she lay with him But to the world she's just a drunken cheap trick Red light side kick, an angel downtown The priest calls her Wednesdays And shows her a wooden cross He tells of the love he's found She thinks of the one she lost And downtown the midnight circus Hypnotised like a spinning top So easy to choose when there's nothing to lose She had so much to give so she gave it away She's gonna change everything There's a light shining on her window There's a great big guess breathing on her door Shame it's
