Wild And Lonely (1990)

 

Fire To Ice
So summer came and warmed our smile
We talked too much and all the while
You know that love can turn so fast
I should have known it wouldn't last

Wo wo wo wo still you go on testing me
Wo wo wo wo it's not the way it's meant to be

So winter came broke every rule
Kiss me goodbye strawberry fool and love can burn from fire to ice
I never could take good advice

Wo wo wo wo still you go on testing me
Wo wo wo wo it's not the way it's meant to be

Now you're feeling so pleased with yourself
You're so sure and at ease with yourself
Now you're stronger and need me no more
Days are longer and I'm feeling sore
At the risk of repeating myself
What's the point of defeating yourself
Don't you know you're just cheating (oh well)

Wo wo wo wo still you go on testing me
Wo wo wo wo it's not the way it's meant to be

Now you're feeling so pleased with yourself
You're so sure and at ease with yourself
Now you're stronger and need me no more
Days are longer and I'm feeling sore
At the risk of repeating myself
What's the point of defeating yourself
Don't you know you're just cheating (oh well)

So summer came
So summer came

Fever
Cruel - was the first time
Cruel - still I remember
I never ever saw you again contain me
Fever when I call out your name
Can you blame on me

Something in the night is making me feel electrified
Something in the night tell me about you
Something in the night throw me shadows of your life
and let me take this night closer until you fall

Cruel - was the first time
Cruel - still I remember
Let me see you get out of this
I want you with or without tenderness
I'll haunt you

Something in the night is making me feel electrified
Something in the night tell me about you
Something in the night throw me shadows of your life
and let me take this night closer until you fall

I knew you were waiting for something better to come along
You won't forget me honey and I'd hate to prove you wrong
I knew you were waiting for something better to come along
You won't forget me honey
Am I weak because I'm strong

Something in the night is making me feel electrified
Something in the night tell me about you
Something in the night throw me shadows of your life and let me take this night closer until you fall

People We Meet
I need more time to be understood
I'll take your time and I'll make it good
I'll follow your smile to a different place and trace your lips in a warm embrace

I need more time to be on my own
The in-crowds crowds is a crowd gone home
The streets can tell all you need to know of who's been friend and of who's been foe

People we meet just walk on by
They paint what they want and then watch it dry
So colour my eyes from violet to blue
My body can't lie when it's next to you

I need more time and my alibi is when I dream
it's with you I fly high over the top of the universe
Then back to earth where it's all rehearsed

People we meet just walk on by
They paint what they want and then watch it dry
So colour my eyes from violet to blue
My body can't lie when it's next to you

Like people
People we meet
Like people
Like people we meet
Like people

Just Can't Say Goodbye
Now what you've found my letters and read each one out loud
As time stands still before us
I can't say I'm really proud
I'm no saint, I'm not sure you know that
These bitter nights are twice as long
So many have tried to change me, but my angel has proved them wrong

I've tried everything with you
I need you the more I do and I've never felt this way before
I never knew I needed more, but now you won't believe me
You say it's just a lie, but how could I deceive me when I just can't say goodbye

I'm no good without you darling
I've never had much control and I'll need you forever
If I'm to save my soul
I've ran out of all excuses
I've ran out of cigarettes
And it hurts me to show these bruises, but please don't be upset

I've tried everything with you
I need you the more I do and I've never felt this way before
I never knew I needed more, but now you won't believe me
You say it's just a lie, but how could I deceive me when I just can't say goodbye

Now that you've found my letters
Now that you've found my letters
Now that you've found my letters
I just can't say goodbye
I just can't say goodbye
Don't make me

Calling All Around The World
Why do I keep thinking of you
I've been mistaken once before
So why should I feel so uncertain
I've got no time for hesitation

Calling all around the world
I'm calling just to hear myself say
I know I'm not the only one, but I can't wait 'til my night turns to day

Why do I keep running to you
You know you never answer my prayers no
Look in the mirror and tell me it's over
It's not over when I see you

Calling all around the world
I'm calling just to hear myself say
I know I'm not the only one, but I can't wait 'til my night turns to day

Calling around the world
Calling around the world

Calling all around the world
I'm calling just to hear myself say
I know I'm not the only one, but I can't wait 'til my night turns to day
Hear myself say

The Glamour Chase
Knowing you're wanting a part of me
Only protects that same part of me
Slow to forget doesn't mean to say
I'll be an escort to courtesy
Your charm was your vulnerability

Losing yourself in the glamour chase
Racing with hearts that beat twice the pace
Turning around seeing no one there
Thinking out loud never one to swear
Not that we all showed if we ever cared

Small talk were never your favourite words
'It's Over' your favourite song
It didn't matter how hard we tried
Comfort was knowing we took so long, so long

Quality knows what is insecure
All is not what it seems to appear
Searching for what in the emptiness
Why all this sudden need to impress
Why must we always think we know best?
Knowing you're wanting a part of me
Only protects that same part of me
Nursing a nightmare's a poor excuse
It's all the same when you want to lose
No fault of ours if we didn't choose

Small talk were never your favourite words
'It's Over' your favourite song
It didn't matter how hard we tried
Comfort was knowing we took so long
So long
So long

Where There's Love
There is love inside my heart for you
I can't get to it if I don't know how to
Asking myself just how it would have been
Alone with yourself, there's nothing quite as mean
Where there's love

I can't get to it if I don't know how to
I've never been shown and you except me to
give up a ghost that I have known so long and hold you and
hold you closer than I ever thought possible
I'm staying right here on my own free will
You stole my heart and took away the chill
to find out that there's love, and where there's love

There is love
And now it's come to this
Mouth to mouth you feel my body kiss
Closer now I count the stars to dawn
Till time allows no more to wish upon
Where there's love

Can't get to it if I don't know how to
I've never been shown and you except me to
give up a ghost that I have known so long and hold you and
hold you closer than I ever thought possible
I'm staying right here on my own free will
You stole my heart and took away the chill
found out that there is love
Where there's love

There is love inside my heart for you
I can't get to it if I don't know how to
Asking myself just how it would have been
Alone with yourself, there's nothing quite as mean
Where there's love

Can't get to it if I don't know how to
I've never been shown and you except me to
give up a ghost that I have known so long
and hold you and hold you closer than I ever thought possible
I'm staying right here on my own free will
You stole my heart and took away the chill
Found out there is love, where there's love

Can't get to it
I can't get to it baby
I can't get to it baby
Where there's love
Where there's love

Something's Got To Give
Live in a place
Live with yourself
Love your face
A picture of health
A shivering sky of survival blue
Something's got to give
Catch me catch twenty two

I'm ready for you
I'm at my most sincere
I threw myself together for what seemed the lightest year

Walk into sin for a heavenly cause
I'm not here to win or here for applause
Delivering highs of a final blue
Something's got to give
You're just too good to be true

I'm ready for you
I'm at my most sincere
I threw myself together for what seemed the lightest year

Live in a place
Live with yourself
Love your face
A picture of health

I'm ready for you
I'm at my most sincere
I threw myself together for what seemed the lightest year

Strasbourg Square
Take me home
To silver dunes
Where water clear reflects the moon
And bluer eyes tell me they're mine
Yes I can tell because they shine

And now you're here, my nights are warm
With music sweet to calm the storm
You turnaround and call my name
I lose myself you feel the same

I'll run away like soldiers do
And until then I'll bid adieu
And from a room near Strasbourg square
Each day at noon your presence there

And now you're here, my nights are warm
With music sweet to calm the storm
You turn around and call my name
I lose myself you feel the same

Take me home
To silver dunes
Where water clear reflects the moon
And bluer eyes tell me they're mine
Yes I can tell because they shine

And now you're here, my nights are warm
With music sweet to calm the storm
You turnaround and call my name
I lose myself you feel the same

Ever Since That Day
I never thought to do it
I never thought to give you up
With the jungle against me
I just let it have its way
With nothing to cry for and with everything to lose
With hope as my witness
I never used you as an excuse

And ever since that day
I felt something move inside
Like a hundred thousand memories
That 'til now I've been denied
And the error of my way makes me happier to say
Just to know I'll never be like you
Just to know I'll never be untrue

I never thought to do it
If loving you was all I had
I reach for my luger
And shoot until I was sad

And ever since that day
I felt something move inside
Like a hundred thousand memories
That 'til now I've been denied
And the error of my way makes me happier to say
Just to know I'll never be like you
Just to know I'll never be untrue

Somebody cared
Somebody cared where were you
Waiting and wondering why
Some tears are too deep to cry

And ever since that day
I felt something move inside
Like a hundred thousand memories
That 'til now I've been denied
And the error of my way makes me happier to say
Just to know I'll never be like you
Just to know I'll never be untrue

Wild And Lonely
And through the beams
Of a cherry car
Cut through the night
To a lonely bar
And standing there
With a broken key
To an open door
God it's only me

It all begins
With Santa Claus
And brilliant men
With brilliant flaws
The floor you prayed
On takes away
A safety that was yesterday

Wild and lonely wild and lonely

Through the beam
Of a cherry car
Cut through the night
To a lonely bar
And standing there
With a broken key
God it's only me
God it's only me
God it's only me

Fever In The Shadows
Love the beat shame about the groove
Love the beat shame about the groove
Love the beat shame about the groove
Love the beat now it's been proved

Stuck in the wilds with nothing to do
Dance myself dizzy thinking of you
The clock on the walls timings bad
Ever felt like you've been had
The noise of the city has me in its grip
Shoot from the hip now take its trip
Go downtown within the hour
Back to nature the kingdom of power

Love the beat shame about the groove
Love the beat shame about the groove
Love the beat shame about the groove
Love the beat now it's been proved

The rhythm of love has me on my knees
I believe in the spirit of democracy
A dreamy girl filled a questionnaire
About giving birth to a zillionnaire
Around the world the news is good
Culture vultures in the nude
Feed the soul through the arts
With poetry lets play the part, play the part

What's happening in the shadows
Palace in a ghetto
Ask me about Sowetto
When the sun goes down
Fever fever fever
Fever fever fever

Love the beat shame about the groove
Love the beat shame about the groove
Love the beat shame about the groove
Love the beat now it has been proved
Now it's been proved proved
