One Night In Heaven: The Very Best Of M People

Now the party`s over I`m so tired.
Then I see you coming
Out of nowhere.
Much communication in a motion
Without conversation or a notion.

Avalon
When the samba takes you
Out of nowhere.
And the background`s fading
Out of focus.
Yes the picture`s changing
Every moment
And your destination
You don`t know it.

Avalon
Avalon
Avalon

When you`re bossa nova
There`s no holding.
Would you have me dancing
Out of nowhere.

Avalon
Avalon
Avalon

(Dreaming) mmm
(Dreaming)
(Dreaming) woah, oh yeah
(Dreaming) mmm
(Dreaming)
(Dreaming) mmm
(Dreaming)
(Dreaming)

I close my eyes and see
A vision of what used to be
Such beauty

Undress me to the bone
Scatter seeds among the stones
Can't you see?

Imagine brown eyes, love and wonder, mmm
That's what keeps me from going under, ooh
Imagine passing through your shadow
A fly-by angel at your window, yes, indeed

Ooh, oh yeah
Am I dreaming again?
Dreaming of when
I thought you were heaven sent
But I wonder
Dreaming again
Dreaming of when
I thought love was innocent
But I wonder

Walking through empty streets
Gazing at your history
So blue, yeah

Deep in the heart of me
I just can't shake the memories
It's you, yeah

Imagine walking on the water, ooh
The past keeps coming back to haunt you, yes indeed

Ooh, oh yeah
Am I dreaming again?
Dreaming of when
I thought you were heaven sent
But I wonder
Dreaming again
Dreaming of when
I thought love was innocent
But I wonder

Dreaming again
Dreaming of when
I thought you were heaven sent
But I wonder
Dreaming again
Dreaming of when
I thought love was innocent
But I wonder

I have a dream (mmm mmm)
Do you have a dream?
(Oh yeah)
I have a dream
Dreaming of me
Dreaming of you
Dreaming of me
Dreaming of you

Imagine walking on the water, ooh
The past keeps coming back to haunt you, yes indeed

Ooh, oh yeah
Am I dreaming again?
Dreaming of when
I thought you were heaven sent
But I wonder
Dreaming again

The world can beat me black 'n' blue,
it can hurt so much it's just not true.
Down and out and down at heel,
but it sure can't change the way I feel.
I feel a strength so deep within
a love to wash away the sin.
Like the sound of the sea deep within a shell
to make your heaven when all around is hell.

[chorus]
All manner of things can make me sing.
But love is in my soul, love is in my soul.
All manner of things can make me sing.
But love is in my soul, love is in my soul.

The tension grows and clouds your eyes.
The swim upstreams, the bridge of sighs.
The cold stone walls and the metal jam.
The ugly roar from a dying man.
All these things that bring you down
mean nothing more than a laughing clown.
If you lift up your soul be strong be proud,
you'll never be just another face in the crowd.

[chorus]

I'm coming home
I'm coming home to your house
I'm coming home to your house
I'm coming home to your house
I'm coming home to your house
Boy, there's so many things to give
I've been aware of your charms for so long
And there's nothing that you can do
To stop me from coming around, 'round
To your house
To your house
To your house
To your house

I'm coming home
I'm coming home to your house
I'm coming home to your house
I'll be your queen, upon a throne in your house
I'm coming home
I'm coming home to your house

You can build it from bricks and stone
But there's still no point in being alone
So unlock your door; I'm coming through
'Cause this heart's got a message for you

I'm coming home
I'm coming home to your house
To your house
To your house
To your house

I'm coming home
I'm coming home to your house
I'm coming home to your house
I'll be your queen, upon a throne in your house
I'm coming home
I'm coming home to your house

By land or sea, I'm coming home to your house
Come fly with me
I'm comin' home to your house
I'll be your queen, upon a throne in your house
I'll make you scream aloud with joy in your house
I'll bring you gifts, cash money too, to your house
I'll bring it all on home to you, to your house
There'll be no black, there'll be no white in your house
There'll be no day, there'll be no night

Have mercy, mercy, mercy
Have mercy, mercy, mercy
Have mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy
Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy
'Cause you...
Mercy on me
Mercy on me
Mercy on me

I'm coming home
I'm coming home to your house
I'm coming home to your house
I'll be your queen, upon a throne in your house
I'll make you scream aloud with joy in your house
I'm coming home
I'm coming home to your house
There'll be no war, there'll be no war in your house
I'll bring you peace

Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love a surprise.
Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love a surprise.
Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love a surprise.
Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love a surprise.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

Another dollar, another day.
Some old routine in my way.
My eyes are achin', my body tired.
I'm all strung up you know I feel so wired.
And then you walk into the room.
Time stops, everything drops, boom boom boom.
Vision of love, heavens above.
I feel your body like a velvet glove.
Because...

You're a sight for sore eyes.
As a mater of fact at the drop of a hat,
You're my love surprise.

So radical, so very chic.
But without you I feel so weak
When lover boy comes into sight.
I don't know why but it feels so right.
Need energy, a vitamin shock?
No way for me, you're what I got.
Don't need no drugs to make me high,
I just need to look you baby right in the eye.
Because...

You're a sight for sore eyes.
As a mater of fact at the drop of a hat,
You're my love surprise.

Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love a surprise.
Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love a surprise.
Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love a surprise.
Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love a surprise.

Surprise me baby.
Surprise me baby.
Surprise me baby.
Surprise me baby.

You're a sight for sore eyes.
As a mater of fact at the drop of a hat,
You're my love surprise.

You're a sight for sore eyes.
As a mater of fact at the drop of a hat,
You're my love surprise.

Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love a surprise.
Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love a surprise.
Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love a surprise.
Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love a surprise.

Sometimes the river flows but nothing breathes.
A train arrives but never leaves.
It's a shame.
Oh life - like love that walks out of the door,
Of being rich or being poor.
Such a shame.
But it's then, then that faith arrives
To make you feel at least alive.
And that's why you should keep on aiming high,
Just seek yourself and you will shine.

You've go to search for the hero inside yourself,
Search for the secrets you hide.
Search for the hero inside yourself
Until you find the key to your life.

In this life, long and hard though it may seem,
Live it as you'd live a dream.
Aim so high.
Just keep the flame of truth burning bright.
The missing treasure you must find
because you and only you alone
can build a bridge across the stream.
Weave your spell in life's rich tapestry -
Your passport to a feel supreme.

You've go to search for the hero inside yourself,
Search for the secrets you hide.
Search for the hero inside yourself
Until you find the key to your life.

Search inside yourself. (You've got to search)
Search inside yourself. (You've got to search)
Search inside yourself. (You've got to search)

You've go to search for the hero inside yourself,
Search for the secrets you hide.
Search for the hero inside yourself
Until you find the key to your life.

You've go to search for the hero inside yourself,
Search for the secrets you hide.
Search for the hero inside yourself
Until you find the key to your life.

You've got to.
(Search inside yourself)
You've got to.
(Search inside yourself)
You've got to.
(Search inside yourself)

Search.
