Youre Always Pulling Me Down
I thought I knew you well, your right and wrong
Thought I could steal your secrets and put them in a song
I thought that youd be waiting patiently for me
That only I could see
You build me up and tell me lies
You hold my hand, say close your eyes
(chorus)
Youre always pulling me down
You make me lower my expectations
Youre always pulling me down
Why do you complicate situations
Youre always pulling me down
I dont know what else to do
Im still in love with you
I wish that I could see things through your eyes
I want to lift the veil and penetrate your lies
I want to take your truth and hold it in my hand
Maybe then Ill understand
You contradict in a thousand ways
You call the tune and guess who pays

Everything Is Better Now
Everything is better now
Better than is was before
Sunshine on a golden bough
Darkness locked behind closed door
Now I found a better place
Somewhere I can lay my head
Clean fresh air and open space
Safe upon my feather bed
I've been a mistake maker
For all of my days
And a law breaker
But crime never pays
An overtaker
On lifes highways
A serial faker
Making getaways
I've been a mover and a groover
In the halls of power
A real bad loser
In my darkest hour

Hand That Rocks The Cradle
Holidays are comin'
The kids are getting fat
Put another penny in the corporation hat
There's computer consolation now
For every boy and girl
Coz the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world
Sony in the nursery, no need to turn the page
The cartoon generation are soon to come of age
Virtual relationships untouched by human hands
Laying their foundation in the ever shifting sand
If politics is just for fools, equality a dream
Then you'd better wear protection so you never hear them scream
Animated babysitters always there to play
Will keep the undesirables a million miles away
Everything is changing but the song remains the same
Asylum has been locked away, the seekers has been framed

Gotta Tell Someone
CHORUS
I gotta tell someone,can anyone hear me
The girl of my dreams told me that she loves me
She whispered & I was consumed so completely
Lost in the love that I feel whenever she's near me
She's got me wishing for something that's missing
Staring at stars getting high on her kissing
Now I got my girl, my girl got me
We're making plans for a family
CHORUS
Together we'll stay come what may
Nothing come between us or get in our way
This is for real the really big deal
At last we've found someone who knows how we feel
CHORUS
She took me out walking, I should not be talking
Whispered in my ear but I'm telling you nothing
If I were you, you know what I'd do
Get one of your own so you can whisper too
CHORUS

Breakfast In Bed (feat. Chrissie Hynde)
CHRISSIE:
You've been crying your face is a mess
Come in baby, you can wipe the tears on my dress
She's hurt you again, I can tell
I know that look so well
ALI:
Don't be shy, we've been here before
Pull your shoes off,
And I will lock the door
And no-one has to know, I've come here again
Knowing it'll be like it's always been before
(CHORUS)
CHRISSIE & ALI:
Breakfast In Bed, Kisses For Me
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed, love can make you sing
CHRISSIE:
What's your hurry, please don't hit and run
We can let her wait, my darling its been so long
ALI:

Love Is All Is Alright
(chorus)
Love is all is alright
But you left it a little to late
Love is all is alright
But you've got to find a little more hate.
Take the man in the white cloak
A pointed mask to hide his face
Murders in the name of religion
If you're not the right colour or race.
Take the man in the black cloak
He's holding justice in his hands,
Lets the man in the white cloak go,
Calls it the law of the land.
(chorus)
Love is all is alright.......etc
Take the man in the brown shirt
A burning hatred in his eyes
Fired by ignorant reaction,
Fanned by political lies
Take the man in the blue cap

So Destructive
It's so destructive
Counter productive
How we gonna make it
When we do not know where love lives [2x]
I'm not seeing what you're saying
All the games that you are playing
Look like tactics for delaying
While we're on our knees and praying
Making and breaking
Sitting and debating
The art of speculating
Then accumulating
I'm not buying what you're selling
All your shouting and a yelling
And the lies that you are telling
Don't strike me as compelling
Picking and choosing
Winning and losing
Cutting and bruising
Using and abusing

I Really Cant Say
Chorus
I really cant say
How I feel right now
I would if I could
But I dont know how
Just give me some time
And Ill come around
Ill pick myself up
Ill dust myself down
Verse one
Lets leave it at that
I dont want to fight
Dont say anything that you may regret
In fact, its the last thing I need tonight
Your words in my head are hard to forget
Repeat chorus
Verse two
Lets leave it for now
Lets call it a day
We dont have to talk about this anymore

Its My Delight
I love you like I want you
And I kiss you like I need you
Every night
Ill draw you close to me
Ill tell you words of comfort
Its my delight
Darling Ive grown to love you
More every day
And Ive got a song to sing
Each lonely night, oh yeah, oh yeah
Stronger than the north winds
Higher than the mountains
Thats my love for you
And I will never hurt you
Nor will I forsake you
Darling be true
Its only a matter of time, oh yeah
Then all of my dreams will come true
In every way, oh yeah oh yeah
Stronger than the north winds

C`est La Vie
A woman came and said to me
Shed seen a lady sell her baby
For ten or twenty dollars maybe
And everybody thinks shes crazy
Theyre too blind to see
She never failed to call attention
To the things we never mention
Real horror, daily, courtesy of your tv
Cest la vie
(chorus)
A woman came and said to me
Now listen very carefully
Theres brother killing brother
People living on their knees
Biting sugar coated bullets
For the pain of this disease
Cest la vie
A woman came and said to me
She had a husband on an island
Found his body on a wasteland
