1. _ Kingston Town
the night seems to fade,
But the moonlight lingers on
There are wonders for everyone
The stars shine so bright,
But they`re fading after dawn
There is magic in kingston town
(chorus)
Oh kingston town,
The place i long to be
If i had the whole world
I would give it away
Just to see, the girls at play
Ooh, ooh, ooh
And when i am king,
Surely i would need a queen
And a palace and everything, yeah
And now i am king,
And my queen will come at dawn
She`ll be waiting in kingston town
(chorus)
And when i am king,
Surely i would need a queen
And a palace and everything, yeah
And now i am king,
And my queen will come at dawn
She`ll be waiting in kingston town

I said we friendship come first, the band did come second
And that's why i decided to put it in a song
So listen crowd of people and throw up unnu hands
If you love dem their style and you love dem pattern

3. _ Higher Ground
Moon and stars sit way up high
Earth and trees beneath them lie
The wind blows fragrant lullaby
To cool the night for you and i
On the wing the birds fly free
Leviathan tames angry sea
The flower waits for honeybee
The sunrise wakes new life in me.
(chorus)
And every hour of every day i'm learning more
The more i learn, the less i know about before
The less i know, the more i want to look around
Digging deep for clues on higher ground...
The fishes swim while rivers run
Thru fields to feast my eyes upon
Intoxicated drinking from
The loving cup of burning sun
In dreams i'll crave familiar taste
Of whispered rain on weary face
Of kisses sweet and warm embrace
Another time another place
(chorus)
And every hour of everyday i'm learning more
The more i learn, the less i know about before
The less i know, the more i want to look around
Digging deep for clues on higher ground...

4. _ Superstition
Very superstitious, writings on the wall
Very superstitious, ladders bout' to fall
Thirteen month old baby. broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way
Very superstitious, wash your face and hands
Rid me of the problems, do all that you can
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong
You don't wanna save me, sad is my song
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way, yeh, yeh, yeh.
Very superstitious, nothin' more to say
Very superstitious, the devil's on his way
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past.
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way, no, no, no

5. _ Here I Am (come And Take Me)
I can`t believe that it`s real
The way that you make me feel
A burning deep down inside
A love that i cannot hide
I know it`s you and me babe
That makes the world go round
Ah keeping you in love with me baby
Laying all my troubles down
(chorus)
Here i am babe, come and take me
Here i am babe, wont ya come and take me
Take me by the hand, ooh show me
Here i am babe, oooooaaah
It always ends up this way
Me begging you every day
A love that i cannot have
You broke my heart in two halves
Ooh i know it`s you and me babe
That makes the world go round
Ah keeping you in love with me baby
Laying all my troubles down
(chorus)
Here i am babe, come and take me
Here i am babe, wont ya come and take me
Take me by the hand, ooh show me
Here i am babe, oooooaaah

6. _ Bring Me Your Cup
Did i ever say, how i feel about you
A thing i never found that easy to do
The things that you do, don't need to be heard
You know your actions, baby, speak louder than words
(chorus)
I've got the bottle, bring me your cup
Pop the cork, and try a sup
And when you're empty, i'll fill you up
We'll drink it down till the sun comes up
I'm heading home, like a steaming train
Foot to the floor, in the driving rain
My head is aching and my mouth is dry
I've got a thirst only you can satisfy
(chorus)
I've got the bottle, bring me your cup
Pop the cork and try a sup
And when you're empty, i'll fill you up
We'll drink it down till the sun comes up

7. _ Where Did I Go Wrong
I'm sitting here praying that you weren't just saying
Leaving tomorrow was what you had planned
No point in pretending, i know that it's ending
I just want to know where the ending began
(chorus)
Where did i go wrong to make it like this
No warmth in your body, no touch in your kiss
Holding you now, hurts more than it should
If i let you go, girl, you'll be gone for good
I thought you had saved me, the love that you gave me
The sweetest loving in all of the land
But you've taken my heart, and you've torn it apart
And its crumbled to dust in the palm of your hand
(chorus)
Where did i go wrong.......(etc)
There's nothin' worth sayin', i know you're not staying
Might as well face it, it's out of my hand
No point in pretending, i know that it's ending
I just want to know where the ending began
(chorus)
Where did i go wrong........(etc)

8. _ The Way You Do The Things You Do
You got a smile so bright
You know you could have been a candle
I`m holding you so tight
You know you could have been a handle
The way you swept me off my feet
You know you could`ve been a broom
And babe you smell so sweet
You know you could`ve been some perfume
(chorus)
Well you could of been anything that you wanted to
I can tell
The way you do the things you do
As pretty as you are
You know you could`ve been a flower
If good looks were minutes
You know you could have been an hour
The way you stole my heart
You know you could have been a crook
And baby your so smart
You know you could have been a school book
(chorus)
Well you could of been .......(etc)
You make my life so rich
You know you could`ve been some money
And baby you`re so sweet
You know you could have been some honey
(chorus)
Well you could of been .......(etc)
As pretty as you are
You know you could`ve been a flower
If good looks were minutes
You know you could have been an hour
The way you stole my heart
You know you could have been a crook
And baby your so smart
You know you could have been a school book
(chorus)
Well you could of been .......(etc)

9. _ Until My Dying Day
Now i know your secret
I promise that i'll keep it
So confidentially
Between just you and me, i'll never leak it
I'm the specialist
I know you can't resist
I'll bypass your alarm
No need to twist my arm, i insist
If you're looking for a war
There's a market for betrayal
Don't ask me what i saw
Y'know my secrets not for sale
Don't ask me what i heard
Y'know i promised not to say
I said i'd never breathe a word
Until my dying day
Well seeing is believing
No use in your deceiving
For now i know it's true
It's you that holds the clue, i'll be leaving
Now i've got to say goodbye
You understand i have to fly
When you get the third degree
And the truth don't set you free, you've got to lie
If you're looking for a war
There's a market for betrayal
Don't ask me what i saw
Y'know my secrets not for sale
Don't ask me what i heard
Y'know i promised not to say
I said i'd never breathe a word
Until my dying day

10. _ (i Can't Help) Falling In Love With You
wise men say - only fools rush in,
But i can't help falling in love with you. (repeat)
Shall i stay - would it be a sin,
If i can't help falling in love with you.
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand - take my whole life too,
For i can't help falling in love with you.
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand - take my whole life too,
For i can't help falling in love with you.
I cant help falling in love with you (x4)
