Boom Boom

Take a look whats be going on behind me
I swear to God this aint no making of my own
That stupid cupid arrow
Lost for years and never found me
Now shes dancing on my history
And she drives the dagger home
cos when I see that angel walking past my window
When I see that angel walking past my door
I know what this tired old hearts been waiting, waiting for
Boom boom
Boom boom
And I cant win
There aint no us denying
So many years of experience
Tell me its so
That stupid cupid arrow
Lost for years and never found me
Now shes dancing on my history
And she drives the dagger home
cos when I see that angel walking past my window

Youre Not A Number

You can feel your nerve endings
Theyve been dead before today
You can feel them rising
Feel them rising all the way
Youve got grease on your fingers
Oil on your face
Happy completely chasing the pace
Happy to find out even this late
Youre not a number
Theres a new sense of freedom
Come banging on your door
Deep down inside you
Youve seem it all somewhere before
Somewhere in the past
Somewhere in a dream
Its got you completely
And you know what it means
Happy to find out even this late
Youre not a number
Theres a new sense of freedom

Crack That Mould

You got to break the back of the mould you were made in
Crack the shell, thats how its got to be
Nothing for certain, aint no way of knowing
Only believe in things that you see
Flow with the river, run with the tide
Mix with your brother, cos hes right by your side
Crack that mould
Little pretty chicken you cant stay in there forever
Now there aint no such thing as only one kind of weather
You got to bend, learn, take the rough with the smooth
Understand everything
Crack that mould
Now there aint no such thing as only one kind of weather
Pick up them shoes, go running down that road
You know that precondition is such a heavy load
You got to live love, put down that written word
Crack that mould
Now there aint no such thing as only one kind of weather

Give That Girl A Diamond

Time to get up
She shines her light where just before
There was only
A cold wind blowing
She understands what makes me smile
And lets me know that
Without showing
I need to tell her, need to show her
How deep she goes
Inside of me
She is the stone that breaks the hard shell
And rings out the loudest bell
With whispered words that scream out
All the peace in me
Give that girl a diamond
Yeah give that girl a diamond
And say it's from me
A blue reflected light
Way past the darkest place
My only private night

Got To Be Moving On

Sombody told me - there's something better down that way
So don't try to hold me - 'Cos it's all I got to say
Is can't stay
I got to be moving - I got to be moving on
Yeah I got to moving - I got to be moving on
Next time you look around - you may find me gone
I've got to be moving - moving on
Free - nothing can hold me down
What you're loving - is what you found
So don't try to change it
Oh free - I've got to keep moving on
Where ever it takes me - where ever it goes
Somebody told me - there's something better down that way
So don't try to hold me - 'Cos it's all I got to say
Is can't stay
Got to be moving - got to be moving on
Got to be moving - got to be moving on
WHenever you see me - you'll know me by this song
Yeah I - I got to be moving on
Moving on

You Must Be Evil

I come home from work
I see my little girl
Shes crying on the floor
Shes been watching that tv
This aint late no, this aint even dinner time
To show them things on that screen
Whats wrong with you
You must be evil
Oh I know why you do it
Youre just looking for sensation
You got a hold of something
You tell us that its news
You dont have to show that stuff
Cant you show us some respect
You can tell us we dont need to see it
We dont need those cheap effects
You must be evil
You must be evil
I wish you were here
You dont have to show that stuff

Qualified

I got a beat up piece of paper - It's a message from a king
He says - I got to get you out of here
He say - I got to let you in
'Cos I've been down the darkest road there is - I've seen the other side
I got a licence to go - Straight through your pain
Ain't no big deal - 'Cos I'm qualified - Yeah I'm qualified
Qualified in fear and pain - I'm qualified in lies and shame
I'm qualified with a broken heart
You knock me down - I get back up again
'Cos' I'm qualified
I'm qualified - To get your love
I'm qualified - To know what you're thinking of
I'm qualified - in broken dreams
I can save you from where you've been
'Cos I'm qualified
I'm qualified to make you smile
I'm qualified to save your pain
Qualified to give a real good time
Qualified to make your sun shine

Sweet Kiss

I lie awake, late at night
I just dont seem to sleep at all
Got so high, dont I know why
Said man I got that moon-dog call
Stepping out into the street
Gonna dance till my legs fall off
Mister policeman say whats wrong with you
Why you behaving this way?
I said Im hung on her sweet kiss
My mama told me that the day would come
So I dont need no alibi
The judge looked down with a pointed frown
And said boy you got to explain why
Out on the street, late at night
Dancing like a crazy fool
Laughing and singing, whats wrong with you?
Why you behaving this way?
I said Im hung on her sweet kiss
And all the boys theyre gonna laugh
And all the girls gonna talk in class

Whatever Happened To Benny Santini?

They say his chances could not have been better
All the promise of a july sun in the morning sky
Laughing at the peering faces
From the windows of a limousine
Caviar with the a & r and still only in his teens
So whatever happened?
I can see him now, his face lit up in neon
One hand up in the air as he turns towards the crowd
His songs of silver arrows they tried to roll into gold
With diamond tips from painted lips
Designed and ready to be sold
They say he could not fall of
They say he could not fail
The wealth and fame would fire his flame
Just as soon as his ship set sail
So whatever happened?
Whatever happened to benny santini?
Whatever happened to the guy on the wall?
Where did he go to if he could not fall of
They tell you they dont know

Nothing To Fear

I feel your heat in dusty whispers
The wind is cold around your moon
Its getting hard to keep our distance
I know your time is coming soon
Dont point your dream on my horizon
Dont take your rose too far from home
Please dont forget were not each other
Each soul has black thorns of his own
I see you dancing
Your song is clear
Youve got to show me, got to show me
Theres nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
I have my loved ones you have yours
So let us gaze upon the feast
In gods own name lets eat together
In gods own name please come in peace
See how our children play together
While you and me we stand alone
I know well never be each other
