Never Let You Go
I will never let you go
I will never
I will never let you go
I will never
Ive got to hold on, every day
In every way, but the things you will say
Just couldnt be that way
Youll never, ever reach
If you dont try
Instead you keep on telling all
Those dreadful lies
Just wait and see
How things could be
When I am free
Dont worry bout me
Dont worry bout me cus
I will never let you go
I will never
I will never let you go
I will never

You Could Meet Somebody
(chorus)
You could meet somebody, you never know
From brief encounters habits grow
Into giant oaks that hide the sun
Life in the shadows ain't no fun
It's easy getting up there
Never think of coming down
Not hard to say 'i want you'
When you're floating on a cloud
But you know that lonely feeling
When nothing's going right
'cause it's only the beginning
Of a cold and sleepless night
(chorus)
You could meet somebody, you never know
From brief encounters habits grow
Into giant oaks that hide the sun
Your only chance is to turn and run
It's harder getting up there
And it's painful coming down

Come Out To Play
He used to think that it was neat
When he hung out on the street
Now that its his daily beat, hes not so sure
Cause hes come to depend
On a street with a dead end
And hell sell you his best friend, so he can score
(chorus
Boys and girls come out to play
The junk mans on the streets to say
Hell make your dreams feel real today
And steal your minds tomorrow
Now his thoughts dont seem so clear
His whole life is filled with fear
His habit cost him dear in every way
His girl cant take the heat
But his friends all cross the street
Still the needle keeps him sweet
If he can pay for one more day
His bones have got no meat
Hes unsteady on his feet

I Would Do For You
I didnt mean to be so late
Its just that I got talking
I had a drink with a couple of mates
Missed my bus and wound up walking
I tried to call and let you know
It was busy and I couldnt get through
I didnt want to let you down
I know how much it hurts you
I dont know what came over me
It must have slipped my mind
Ill try and make it up to you
Lets leave the past behind
I promise that Ill do my best
To mend my wicked ways
And dont believe the things you hear
Dont listen to what they say
(chorus)
I would do for you
All youd have me do
All you have to do

Matter Of Time
Just a matter of time, till you run out of breath
Money mountains you climb, never hedging your bets
But your luck can run out, youd better watch your step
Just a matter of time
Just a matter of days, till the factorys done
When they shut down the lathes cause the work has all gone
And nobody cares cause theres no-one
Its just a matter of days
I know what you mean and I suppose I agree
Im a bit pushed for time, please dont bother me
Take you guidance elsewhere, cause Ive heard it before
In case is not very clear, I dont care anymore
Just a matter of hours until youre forgotten
Your pushing up flowers, and youre used to the rot
So that was your life, didnt manage a lot
Just a matter of hours
I know what you mean and I suppose I agree
Im a bit pushed for time, please dont bother me
Take you guidance elsewhere, cause Ive heard it before
In case is not very clear, I dont care anymore

Baby I Love Your Way
Shadows grow so long before my eyes
And theyre moving across the page
Suddenly the day turns into night
Far away from the city
Well, dont hesitate, cause your love wont wait...
Ooo, baby, I love your way, everyday
Gonna tell you I love your way, everyday
Wanna be with you night and day
Moon appears to shine and light the skies
With the help of some firefly
Wonder how they have the power to shine
I can see them under the pine
But dont hesitate, cause your love wont wait...
Ooo, baby, I love your way, everyday
Gonna tell you I love your way, everyday
Wanna be with you night and day
(solo - on verse) but dont hesitate, cause your love wont wait...
I can see the sunset in your eyes
Brown and grey, blue besides
Clouds are stalking islands in the sun

Please Don't Make Me Cry
You say you are going to leave me
I'm begging you to stay
My baby I can't get through any way
No I can't
And when I wake up in the morning
You are gone
Little pretty thing
You know I'll be all alone
Chorus
You'll hear me crying (mmmmmmm)
Please don't make me cry (mmm mmmm)
'cos I can't say good-bye (mmmmm)
Please don't make me cry
Because I know
There will be nothing left for me
All them good good times
We spent together

One In Ten
(chorus)
I am the one in ten
A number on a list
I am the one in ten
Even though I don't exist
Nobody knows me
Even though i'm always there
A statistic, a reminder
Of a world that doesn't care
My arms enfold the dole queue
Malnutrition dulls my hair
My eyes are black and lifeless
With an underprivileged stare
I'm the beggar on the corner
Will no-one spare a dime?
I'm the child that never learns to read
'cause no-one spared the time
(chorus)
I am the one in ten .... etc
I'm the murderer and the victim

Sorry
Please dont say sorry
Presuming a respect for what you say
If in your heart you mean it
Then youll understand me feeling
You must prove it; sign the cheque without delay
Most humbly yours, four hundred years back pay
(chorus)
Im not begging charity
Dont confuse the things I say
Give me what belongs to me
Give me what belongs to me
Just dont say sorry
As if that can excuse this tyranny
No value in your talking
Money speaks and bullshits walking
Round in circles re-inventing history
Trying to erase our memory
(chorus)
I'm not begging .....etc
If you say sorry

Madam Medusa
From the land of shadows
Comes a dreadful sight
Lady with the marble smile
Spirit of the night
See the scourge of innocence
Swinging in her hand
Hear the silent suffering
That echoes through the land
From the tombs of ignorance
Of hate and greed and lies
Through the smoke of sacrifice
Watch her figure rise
The sick the poor the old
Basking in her radiance
Men of blood and gold
In her bloody footsteps
Speculators prance
Men of dreams are praying
For that second chance
Round her vacant features
