1. _ Images Of Loving
(difford/tilbrook)
Your initials on the singles
That you chose to leave behind
Sit in my collection
They get played from time to time
Left to remind me of something i'd forgot
The images of loving before i lost the plot
What was love to us
Just sensation
What was love to us
The invitation
To sit on my bed stand by a tree
What were we feeling
What was love to us
The stagecoach would get held up
On a sunday afternoon
We're dozing by the tv
On a sofa with no room
No room to lay out flat with her there by my side
One eye on her movements one eye on rawhide
I just wasn't made for these times
Spun around my record deck
How green was my valley
How blue the eyes that wept
Looking back i don't think that i really cared
This was my first lesson with nothing to compare

2. _ It's Over
(difford/tilbrook)
Hey wait a minute
That's not right
I didn't want this to cause a fight
All i'm saying is
Nothing new
Listen to me, believe it's true
What's there to hide, it baffles me
Throw out those thoughts of jealousy
So don't you cry and hold your head
It's over
So wait a minute
Let me explain
Out of the blue she called again
To offer me
A peaceful meal
So we can talk see how we feel
It's nothing more than face to face
So trust in me i know my place
I know it's hard to let me go
It's over
All over
Have confidence
Have faith
There is no attraction there
And believe me
This way
I can wash her from my hair
Hey wait a minute
What's going on
I'm coming home where i belong
It's nothing more than face to face
Give me the time to pack my case
I know it's hard to let me go
It's over
What's there to hide it baffles me
Why should you waste your energy
But i won't leave if you're not sure
It's over
It's all over

3. _ Pinocchio
(difford/tilbrook)
Swallow me say swallow me
Take me to your nest of china dolls
Call me up your closest friend
Join me in my neighbourhood patrol
Happy me say happy me
Chinese whispers bounce from ear to ear
The night is young i feel so old
See the stars above the night's so clear
I used to come home late and lie, lie, lie
She used to see through that but still i tried
I couldn't cover up the tracks i'd made
That's how it used to be but not today
Race around i race around
Focused on the here and now with you
Every smile's a valentine
What harm can a little loving do
Fall about then fall about
Drunk on love i can't stand on my feet
Before i try please take my hand
I've so many words left i should eat
Tickle me please tickle me
Laughter climbs the walls above our bed
This night we have is built on love
Help me so i do not lose the thread
Swallow me say swallow me
Happy me say happy me
Race around i race around
Fall about then fall about
Tickle me say tickle me
Love me do sing love me do

4. _ Cold Shoulder
(difford/tilbrook)
My head was stuck in the cat flap on the door
Where i could see her walking on the kitchen floor
Down on my knees
Just like a dog
Begging for scraps that she said she hadn't got
She took her pen she poked me in the eye
As through the lock i looked to see my world inside
I kicked and swore
Void of all brain
I couldn't see that i was the one to blame
Cold shoulder
Like a slaughtered cow in a butcher's fridge
Cold shoulder
She had laid the plans where we built our bridge
To a better life
Cold shoulder
I had been chased by a hairbrush that she threw
Life was blurred when the hand of fate came into view
It smacked my face
I was released
I came back home where life became a feast
Cold shoulder
Like a slaughtered cow in a butcher's fridge
Cold shoulder
She had laid the plans where we built our bridge
To a better life
Cold shoulder
Then i fell over
Into a bush

5. _ Third Rail
(difford/tilbrook)
As much as i love you
As much as i care
I just can't pretend that
The problem's not there
We know all the boundaries
From where we both stand
Our life has been happy
Without any plan
But now i feel sorrow
As friendship turns stale
Our love's still on track but
Without a third rail
The moon has come up now
The sun has gone down
A million or more times
Since you've been around
Our life still goes on but
It won't be the same
As when we're together
Love only knows pain
With words that are tender
Our love will prevail
But can our love go on
Without a third rail
White clouds appear like cotton wool
The wind bends trees to bow
As we farewell this love of ours
Like some old sacred cow
As sure as heaven's above us
And hell is down below
Without a third rail to drive us
We'll have no place to go
There's a lump in my throat
I'm choked as i say
Our love has reached twilight
Let's call it a day
We kiss on the platform
The doors slowly close
Like theatre curtains
Pulled after the show
We both know it's over
And somehow we've failed
Love's going in circles
Without a third rail

6. _ Jolly Comes Home
(difford/tilbrook)
She's screaming into his collar
Beating him on the chest
He's showing her no emotion
Their love's put to the test
He thinks that he makes her happy
By simply being there
As the silences get longer
The more she pulls her hair
Love can be damaged by silence
Tied to a ball and chain
Love can be driven to violence
From what once seemed so tame
Wearing his dinner this evening
Jolly comes home again
The mule's sitting by the fire
The house at his control
He hops around the channels
His eyes on film patrol
She's driven from her senses
Her mundane life erupts
She leaps out of the sofa
And jumps upon her lump
The room was all dark and quiet
In bed there side by side
There in the small of her back
An olive branch tonight
He wants to say that he's sorry
She wants to make him beg
For all the pain that she's suffered
In her heart and in her head

7. _ Loving You Tonight
(difford/tilbrook)
The full moon's glowing
Blood red in the sky
It hangs like fire
On this winter's night
I sit on feelings
That hang in suspense
Nothing in my life makes sense
A question mark hangs with the stars up above
As i'm driving home to the one that i love
Sometimes i can't see the trees for the wood
Loving you tonight feels good
The moonlight changes
From red into white
It sits on tree tops
Asleep for the night
I see the signpost
The road slowly bends
Nothing in my life makes sense
A flashing tail light speeds across the sky
My head's cooking trouble as thoughts seem to fry
The last temptation was misunderstood
Loving you tonight feels good
I'm faced with the ultimate truth
What if i see things don't improve
I know they could
Loving you tonight feels good
The sun is rising
There's mist all around
She sleeps beside me
And i feel so proud
Am i in heaven
With her by my side
This is how love feels tonight

8. _ True Colours (the Storm)
(wilkinson)
To be running so far away
To rely on the perfect stranger
True colours they suffer with age
One look at the storm and fly straight on in
To the rain and thunder
Fool lover swept under the tide
The storm was gathering around them
He cast her off and put to sea
Well, he'd found somebody new to steer him
Through his dream
She sailed him all around her coastline
Every inlet every bay
And though he knew it then
He was too afraid to say it
One day all alone he waited
The silence crept beneath his door
And as the room grew dark he knew
She's come no more
Drifting in the dead of night
Show me landfall give me light

9. _ Everything In The World
(difford/tilbrook)
There are planes coming in
And there's planes going out
One piece of luggage
Goes around and round
A lady cleans the floors
A night guard checks his watch
There's two lonely faces
And one of them's the clock
What crumbs of joy can i steal from this day
She didn't have the time to call me and say
If the things i'd heard were valid and true
I've got everything in the world but you
Everything in the world but you
I drive against traffic
People race in to work
I've got this expression
That i know i deserve
The key slides in the lock
Who's been here in my bed
Who's been drinking coffee
What's this paper and pen
My nerves are ripped to shreds
The phone rings on the floor
But i can't pick it up
I can't take any more
There are planes flying in
And there are planes flying out
I look up to the sky
And i'm left in no doubt

10. _ Some Fantastic Place
Some fantastic place
(difford/tilbrook)
She gave to me her tenderness
Her friendship and her love
I see her face from time to time
There in the sky above
We grew up learning as we went
What a voyage our life could be
It took us through a wilderness
Into the calmest sea
Her smile could lift me from the pain
I often found within
She said some things i won't forget
She made a few bells ring
So simple her humility
Her beauty found in grace
Today she lives another life
In some fantastic place
She showed me how to raise a smile
Out of her bed of gloom
And in her garden sanctuary
A life began to bloom.
She visualised a world ahead
And planned how it would be
She left behind the strongest love
That lives eternally
I have the hope that when it's time
For me to come her way
That she'll be there to show me round
Whenever comes that day
Her love was life and happiness
And in her steps i trace
The way to live a better life
In some fantastic place
