1. _ Like A Tattoo
Words: sade adu
Music: sade adu, andrew hale and stuart matthewman
He told me sweet lies of sweet loves
Heavy with the burden of the truth
And he spoke of his dreams
Broken by the burden
Broken by the burden of his youth
Fourteen years he said
I couldn't look into the sun
She saw him laying at the end of my gun
Hungry for life
And thirsty for the distant river
I remember his hands
And the way the mountains looked
The light shot diamonds from his eyes
Hungry for life
And thirsty for the distant river
Like the scar of age
Written all over my face
The war is still raging inside of me
I still feel the chill
As i reveal my shame to you
I wear it like a tattoo
I wear it like a tattoo
I wear it like a tattoo

2. _ Is It A Crime
Words: adu
Music: adu, matthewman, hale
It may come, it may come as some surprise
But i miss you
I could see through all of your lies
But still i miss you
He takes her love, but it doesn't feel like mine
He tastes her kiss, her kisses are not wine, they're not mine
He takes, but surely she can't give what i'm feeling now
She takes, but surely she doesn't know how
Is it a crime
Is it a crime
That i still want you
And i want you to want me too
My love is wider, wider than victoria lake
My love is taller, taller than the empire state
It divides and it jumps and it ripples like the deepest ocean
I can't give you more than that, surely you want me back
Is it a crime
Is it a crime
That i still want you
And i want you to want me too
My love wider than victoria lake
Taller than the empire state
It dives and it jumps
I can't give you more than that, surely you want me back
Is it a crime
Is it a crime
That i still want you
And i want you to want me too

5. _ Pearls
Words: sade adu
Music: sade adu and andrew hale
There is a woman in somalia
Scraping for pearls on the roadside
There's a force stronger than nature
Keeps her will alive
This is how she's dying
She's dying to survive
Don't know what she's made of
I would like to be that brave
She cries to the heaven above
There is a stone in my heart
She lives a life she didn't choose
And it hurts like brand-new shoes
Hurts like brand-new shoes
There is a woman in somalia
The sun gives her no mercy
The same sky we lay under
Burns her to the bone
Long as afternoon shadows
It's gonna take her to get home
Each grain carefully wrapped up
Pearls for her little girl
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
She cries to the heaven above
There is a stone in my heart
She lives in a world she didn't choose
And it hurts like brand-new shoes
Hurts like brand-new shoes

6. _ Jezebel
Words: adu music: adu, matthewman
Jezebel wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth
She probably had less than every one of us
But when she knew how to walk she knew
How to bring the house down
Can't blame her for her beauty
She wins with her hands down
Jezebel, what a belle
Looks like a princess in her new dress
How did you get that?
Do you really want to know she said
It would seem she's on her way
It's more, more than just a dream
She put on her stockings and shoes
Had nothing to lose - she said it was worth it
Reach for the top
And the sun is gonna shine
Every winter was a war she said
I want to get what's mine
Jezebel, jezebel
Won't try to deny where she came from
You can see it in her pride
And the raven in her eyes
Try show her a better way
She'll say you don't know what you've been missing
And by the time she blinks you know she won't be listening
Reach for the top she said
And the sun is gonna shine
Every winter was a war she said
I want to get what's mine

Music: sade adu, paul denman, andrew hale and stuart matthewman
There must have been an angel by my side
Something heavenly led me to you
Look at the sky

Something heavenly came down from above
He led me to you

10. _ Smooth Operator
Words and music: sade adu and st. john
He's laughing with another girl
And playing with another heart.
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache.
He's loved in seven languages.
Diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky.
Heaven help him, when he falls.
Diamond life, lover boy.
We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy.
City lights and business nights.
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights.
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left to chance.
No place to be ending but somewhere to start.
No need to ask.
He's a smooth operator,
Smooth operator,
Smooth operator,
Smooth operator.
Coast to coast, la to chicago, western male.
Across the north and south, to key largo, love for sale.
Face to face, each classic case.
We shadow box and double cross,
Yet need the chase.
A license to love, insurance to hold.
Melts all your memories and change into gold.
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold.
No need to ask.
He's a smooth operator,
Smooth operator,
Smooth operator,
Smooth operator.
Coast to coast, la to chicago, western male.
Across the north and south, to key largo, love for sale.
Smooth operator,
Smooth operator,
Smooth operator,
Smooth operator,
Smooth operator...

11. _ The Sweetest Taboo
Words and music: adu and ditcham
If i tell you
If i tell you now
Will you keep on
Will you keep on loving me
If i tell you
If i tell you how i feel
Will you keep bringing out the best in me
You give me, you give me the sweetest taboo
You give me, you're giving me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me
There's a quiet storm
And it never felt like this before
There's a quiet storm
That is you
There's a quiet storm
And it never felt this hot before
Giving me something that's taboo
(sometimes i think you're just too good for me)
You give me the sweetest taboo
That's why i'm in love with you (with you)
You give me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me
(sometimes i think you're just too good for me)
I'd do anything for you, i'd stand out in the rain
Anything you want me to do, don't let it slip away
There's a quiet storm
And it never felt like this before
There's a quiet storm
I think it's you
There's a quiet storm
And i never felt this hot before
Giving me something that's taboo
You give me the (you give me, you give me the) sweetest taboo
That's why i'm in love with you (with you)
You give me, keep giving me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me
You've got the biggest heart
Sometimes i think you're just too good for me
Every day is christmas, and every night is new year's eve
Will you keep on loving me
Will you keep on, will you keep on
Bringing out the best in me

12. _ Hang On To Your Love
Words: sade adu
Music: sade adu and stuart matthewman
In heaven's name why are you walking away?
Hang on to your love.
In heaven's name why do you play these games?
Hang on to your love.
Take time if you're down on luck.
It's so easy to walk out on love.
Take you time if the going gets tough.
It's so precious.
So if you want it to get stronger you'd better not let go.
You've got to hold on longer if you want you love to grow.
Got to stick together, hand in glove.
Hold on tight, don't fight.
Hang on to your love.
In heaven's name why are you walking away?
Hang on to your love.
In heaven's name why do you play these games?
Hang on to your love.
Be brave when the journey is rough,
It's not easy when you're in love.
Don't be ashamed when the going gets tough
It's not easy,
Don't give up.
If want it to get stronger you'd better not let go.
You got to hold on longer if you want you love to grow.
Got to stick together, hand in glove.
Hold on tight, don't fight.
Hang on to your love.
In heaven's name why are you walking away?
Hang on to your love.
In heaven's name why do you play these games?
Hang on to your love.
So if want it to get stronger you'd better not let go.
You got to hold on longer if you want you love to grow.
Got to stick together, hand in glove.
Hold on tight, don't fight.
Hang on to your love.
In heaven's name why are you walking away?
Hang on to your love.
In heaven's name why do you play these games?
Hang on to your love.
When you find a love, don't let it walk away.
When you find your love, you got to make it stay.
Don't let it walk away.
When you find your love, you got to make it stay.
You've got to hang on to your love.
You've got to hang on to your love.
Why are you walking away?
Why do you play these games?

13. _ Nothing Can Come Between Us
Words: sade adu
Music: sade adu, andrew hale and stuart matthewman
I always hope that you remember
We'll never really learn the meaning of it all
What we have is strong and tender
So hold on
In the middle of the madness
When the time is running out and you're left alone
All i want is you to know that
It's strong still
Can't pull us apart
Nothing can come
Between us
Nothing can pull us apart
Can come
Between us
I always hope that you remember
What we have is strong and tender
In the middle of the madness
Hold on
So it truly is a good thing
And i always wanted you to know
There is always this
And this is everlasting
Hold on
It's about faith
It's about trust, yeah yeah
It's about faith
It's about trust
Nothing can come
Nothing can come
Nothing can come between us
Nothing can come
Nothing can come
Nothing can come between us

Can tear
Can pull
Us apart

Music: sade adu, andrew hale and stuart matthewman
I won't pretend that i intend to stop living
I won't pretend i'm good at forgiving
But i can't hate you

Sitting here wasting my time
Would be like
Waiting for the sun to rise
It's all too clear things come and go
Sitting here waiting for you
Would be like waiting for winter

There may even
Be snow
I still really really love you
Love is stronger than pride

15. _ Never As Good As The First Time
Words: adu
Music: adu, matthewman
Good times they come and they go
Never going to know
What fate is going to blow
Your way just hope that it feels right
Sometimes it comes and it goes
You take it ever so slow
And then you lose it, then it flows right to you
So we rely on the past
Special moments that last
Were they as tender as we dare to remember
Such a fine time as this
What could equal the bliss
The thrill of the first kiss
It'll blow right to you
It's never as good as the first time
Never as good as the first time
Good times they come and they go
Never going to know
It's like the weather
One day chicken next day feathers
The rose we remember
The thorns we forget
We'd love and leave
We never spend a minute on regret
It is a possibility
The more we know the less we see
Second time, second time is not quite what it seems
Natural as the way we came to be
Second time won't live up to the dream
It's never as good as the first time
Never as good as the first time
Natural as the way we came to be
Second time won't live up to the dream
Natural as the way we came to be
Second time is not quite what it seemed
It's never
As good as the first time
As the first time (never as good as the first time)
The first time
Natural as the way we came to be
Second time won't live up to the dream
Natural as the way we came to be
Second time is not quite what it seemed
It's never
As good as the first time
As the first time (never as good as the first time)
The first time

16. _ Please Send Me Someone To Love
(percy mayfield)
Heaven please send to all mankind,
Understanding and peace of mind.
But, if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love.
Show all the world how to get along,
Peace will enter when hate is gone.
But, if it's not asking too much,
Please send me someone to love.
I lay awake night and ponder world troubles.
My answer is always the same.
That unless men put an end to all of this,
Hate will put the world in a flame, (oh) what a shame.
Just because i'm in misery.
I'm not begging for no sympathy.
But if it's not asking too much,
Just send me someone to love.
Heaven please send to all mankind,
Understanding and peace of mind.
But if it's not asking too much,
Please send me someone to love.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
