Set Me Free
Wake up
See the morning light
This is you
This is today
You try so hard to get it right
Cant help thinking somewhere youve lost your way
When was the last time
You saw a smile?
Theres a scream on every silent face you see
Theyre singing set me free
I got a friend who burns like a fire
Says theres only thing youll ever know
Its out there somewhere
Way past the sunset line
Way out on the open road
And me Im always looking down
Down that road out of town
Each morning and night you can see me
Im singing set me free
Set me free

Heading For The City
All my friends packing up,
Loading up their Volvo's
And their pick up trucks
Going down the road,
To try their luck
So spin that dream,
Go heading for the city
Roll that dice,
Say a prayer,
Light a candle for me
When you get there,
Win or lose,
We're heading for the city
Well I got a problem hear what I say
They're telling me I got to move away
I was happy here,
They tell me I can't stay
Now whats screaming rain is heading this way
For those who sleep and choose to stay
The game they didn't know

Tamatave
Je veux sentir le sable
Entre mes doigts de pieds
Tamatave ma petite rouquine
Elle la sait
Long grass dancing in the day
Blue sky palm trees gently sway
I come from a land down in sun
Sit on the beach and watch the waves run
I need the sand between my toes
Tamatave my red hair girl she knows
Tamatave je t'entends m'appeler
Tamatave je t'entends m'appeler
Tommasina I hear you calling me
Tamatave je t'entends m'appeler
I feel so strange on city streets
I got these big shoes on my feet
I come from a land down in sun
Sit on the beach and watch the waves run
Tamatave je ton ton mapelay
Tamatave je ton ton mapelay

Candles
Faith for reasons still unknown
Like bleak house fog seems everywhere
The truth has frozen into stone
And hope lies freezing in the midnight air
Though dark our days may seem
This is a different dream
Their freedom light dont shine at all
So I will light a candle for you
Keep it burning in the night
And pray that you are all right
I will light a candle for you
Little candle burning bright
When school yard heroes disappeared
The little girl, she stands alone
Oh I believe you if you say
A prayer can help to get her home
So I will light a candle for you
Keep it burning in the night
And pray that you are all right
I will light a candle for you

Shadows Of The Big Man
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 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 one 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

The Things Lovers Should Do
Standing in the half light, wondering if you can
There stands the priest of sinners, consolation in his hands
Though he prays he wont need it, he keeps it by his side
Waiting for the face up and the answer in her eyes
All while the musics playing a backdrop serenade
Theres only one point of view
To be doing the things, things that lovers should do
Disco-queens in dancestep, moving face to face
All tangled up in neon dont think its some disgrace
The blue western denim, the east coats razor edge
The european fashion, the leathers and re-threads
All while the musics playing a backdrop serenade
Theres only one point of view
To be doing the things, things that lovers should do

True To You
When the time comes around
I want you to know
You can count on me
When it all comes down
Youll know where Ill be
Standing right next to you
cos Ill be true to you
Ill be true to you
When the days grow dark
And the winds grow cold
Ill still be with you
Im tried and Im tested
And I wont let you down
You can count on me
Because Ill be true to you
Ill be true to you
This love that Ive found
It flows like a river
And its all for you
The streets of this town

Do It For Your Love
Each single day I get up and make my way
And it all comes into view
Its like a part in a play
You can turn it around in so many different ways
But its still the part you play
And so to you I dedicate
This role they have handed me
And I will do it for your love
Down in the street you can win or lose
To that crazy beat
But youll never change the tune
cos the tune is the song
And song is the game of life, we just come and go
But we can laugh and we can bend
Together though, me and you
So I will do it for your love
Look around, see that you see
Theres no sense in being so blue
Now Ive got to have a reason for seeing this out
Other than seeing it through

He Should Know Better
Have you heard the news
That is going round
He should know better
Have you heard the news
That boys got dust for brains
After all this time
After all this time
Now things, oh, can never be the same
He should know better
Always straight, always cool
Endless style, nobodys fool
And always with the grace and superb manner
How he danced around the snakes
Left them spinning in his way
And stepped straight on the yellow skin banana
He should know better
In the early hours of day
The black night
He makes his way
Regretfully into the morning fog

Raincoat & A Rose
Rain, tears of joy, tears of pain
Is this really me
Standing here at the station
The card said I mustnt be late
Ive never been late
Ive 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, theyll 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 its 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 Ill find out this way
