1. _ Life In One Day
The old man said to me
Said don't always take life so seriously
Play the flute
And dance and sing your song
Try and enjoy the here and now
The future will take care of itself somehow
The grass is never greener over there
Time will wear away the stone
Gets the hereditary bone
Chorus
Don't try to live your life in one day
Don't go speed your time away
Don't try to live your life in one day
Don't go speed your time away
The old man said to me
Said you can't change the world single-handedly
Raise a glass enjoy the scenery
Pretend the water is champagne
And fill my glass again and again
While the wolves are gathering round your door
Time will wear away the stone
Gets the hereditary bone
The old man said to me
Said don't always take life so seriously
Play the flute
And dance and sing your song
Try and enjoy the here and now
The future will take care of itself somehow
The grass is never greener over there
Time will wear away the stone
Gets the hereditary bone
I tried to live my life in one day
Don't go speed your time away
I bit off more than i can chew
Only so much you can do
Wolves are gathering round my door
Ask them in and invite some more
I tried to live my life in one day
Don't go speed your time away

2. _ Everlasting Love
He wasn't looking for a pretty face
She wasn't searching for the latest style
He didn't want someone who walked straight off the tv
She needed someone with an interior smile
She wasn't looking for a cuddle in the back seat
He wasn't looking for a five minute thrill
She wasn't thinking of tomorrow or of next week
This vacancy he meant to permanently fill
Chorus
I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time
Back in the world of disposable emotion
In the climate of temporary dreams
He wasn't looking for a notch on his bedpost
A love to push, pull and burst at the seams
Is this love worth waiting for
Something special, something pure
Is this love worth waiting for
Bitterness will die for sure
Something special, something pure
Is this love worth waiting for

4. _ City Song
It was that night at nowhere, i saw you standing there
Darlin' you were hungry for life, an innocent in this land
What is it about this city, that brings us all to life
Ten millions souls vibrating,
They're shimmering in the night
You mustn't think of staying,
The price is more than you'd think
It's giving up the sweetest part of you,
For this heartless prize
When does a vision of heaven become a living hell
Ten million souls vibrating, they're acting it out for real
Where do all the lonely people go,
When they want some lovin'
Where do all the lonely people hide, when they feel like cryin'
It was that night at nowhere, a cold glass in your hand
Darlin' you were angry with life, a prisoner in this land
What is it about this city, that brings us all to life
Ten millions souls vibrating,
They're shimmering in the night
Where do all the lonely people go,
When they want some lovin'
Where do all the lonely people hide, when they feel like cryin'
Where do all the lonely people go, in this crowded city
Where do all the lonely people hide, there's no sanctuary
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to handshake, nowhere to smile
Won't you talk with me
Spend some time and give me life
When does a vision of heaven become a living hell
Ten million souls vibrating
They're shimmering in the night
Where do all the lonely people go, in this crowded city
Where do all the lonely people hide, there's no sanctuary
A vision of heaven
A vision of heaven

5. _ Exodus
They're sending back pictures from saturn and mars
Maybe this will be our new home
Well we seem to have messed up
And we must look to the stars
Our paradise we seem to have outgrown
Join the line
Put down your name
Get ready for a ride on the exodus plane
Well we've been much too greedy
Wanting too much to fast
But we have to say we are what we are
Well the trees and the plants and the animals have gone
Long ago
Used to be real air to breath, they say so
Join the line
Put down your name
Get ready for a ride on the exodus plane
Join the line
Put down your name
Get ready for new life
Anyway it's too late for what might have been
Kiss the earth goodbye and get out of here
If there's anybody out there
Hope they haven't made the same mistakes
Turning gold into garbage and a banquet into dustcakes
Join the line
Put down your name
Get ready for a ride on the exodus plane
Join the line
Put down your name
Get ready for new life
Join the line
Put down your name
Get ready for a ride on the exodus plane
Get ready for new life

6. _ Like To Get To Know You Well
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
So we can be one
We can be one together
Repeat chorus
Together we can cast away the fear
Together we can wipe away the tear
Together we can strip down the barriers
And be one
Don't wanna talk about the weather
Don't wanna talk about the news
Just wanna get to the real you inside
Repeat chorus
Don't you think now is the time
We should be feelin'
Just wanna simply say
Won't let you slip away
People wanna talk about the future
Don't wanna linger on the past
Just wanna reach to the real you inside
Forget cold glances and rejections
Leave the things that separate
Build on a trust that we can stand on
Repeat chorus
Finding all are insecure
Opening the same door
Leaving out a stubborn pride
Seeing from another side
Repeat chorus

7. _ Fallin' Away
The manners of the heart
We watched them grow
Did we write everlasting love,
In the hollywood snow
The ribbons and the bows
Wrapped us with gold
Such pressure heaven knows
As the fairy tale folds
Who heals the broken ones
When love has gone
You're not the only ones
In an older time when the world was small
When good men were standing
Reaching out for mother love
When the ties of blood would cheer the faintest heart
Never thought i'd see
You fallin' away from me
Beneath the darker sky
The stars are such a mess
Can you forward my good-byes
To some new address
Who heals the broken ones
When love has gone
You're not the only ones
In an older time when the world was small
When good men were standing
Reaching out for mother love
When the ties of blood would cheer the faintest heart
Never thought i'd see
You fallin' away from me
You can't turn back time
We're stranded here
Leave the future behind
You're not the only ones
In an older time when the world was small
When good men were standing
Reaching out for mother love
When the ties of blood would cheer the faintest heart
Never thought i'd see
You fallin' away from me

8. _ New Song
I've been waiting for so long
To come here now and sing this song
Don't be fooled by what you see
Don't be fooled by what you hear
This is a song to all my friends
They take the challenge to their hearts
Challenging preconceived ideas
Saying goodbye to long standing fears
Don't crack up
Bend your brain
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains
I don't wanna be hip and cool
I don't wanna play by the rules
Not under the thumb of the cynical few
Or laden down by the doom crew

9. _ Lift Me Up
I've got your picture in the palm of my hand
And i'm squeezin' it i'm teasin' it
I'd follow you to the edge of this land
But i'm losin' it, confusin' it
This is a man who has lost control
Lost the road to a higher soul
Stop me from fallin' you know i need you
To lift me up
Won't you lift me up yeah
Won't you take me to a place that i once knew
And when you can see
You've always been there for me
I'm waiting for your love
There'll be a time when all our rhythms of love
Are shakin' it we're makin' it
There'll be a place where life is livin' to give
This harmony it will come to me
And when i think of those who love you now
If i had my chances again somehow
Stop me from fallin' you know i need you
To lift me up
Won't you lift me up yeah
Won't you take me to a place that i once knew
And when you can see
Another side of me
I'm waiting for you
I'm not eating i'm not sleeping this tension this worry
You don't call you don't write me
I need your love in a hurry
Teach me, reach me, meet me, beat me,
Tease me, please me,
Come and seize me
This is a man who has lost control
Lost the road to a higher soul
Catch me from fallin' you know i need you
To lift me up
Won't you lift me up yeah
Won't you take me to a place that i once knew
And when you can see
You've always been there for me
I'm waiting for your love
And when you can see
The changes i've made in me
Well i'm waitin' for, you know i'm waitin' for your love

10. _ What Is Love?
I love you whether or not you love me
I love you even if you think that i don't
Sometimes i find you doubt my love for you, but i don't mind
Why should i mind, why should i mind
Chorus
What is love anyway, does anybody love anybody anyway
What is love anyway, does anybody love anybody anyway
Can anybody love anyone so much that they will never fear
Never worry never be sad
The answer is they cannot love this much nobody can
This is why i don't mind you doubting
And maybe love is letting people be just what they want to be
The door always must be left unlocked
To love when circumstance may lead someone away from you
And not to spend the time just doubting

13. _ Pearl In The Shell
And the fear goes on shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing
And the fear goes on shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing
Under his nose was a dream come true
Been there all the time and he almost knew
And the fear goes on shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing
And the fear goes on shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing
Under his nose was a dream come true
Been there all the time and he almost knew
Thoughts of people in misfortune stopped him doing things well
His duty was to use it - left his pearl in the shell

14. _ Don't Always Look At The Rain
Some people i know have given up on their lives
Drowning their sorrows, and mumblin', and forgot the fight
We can tip the balance we can break those barriers down
Little things count as much as the big and turn it all around
And it's oh, don't always look at the rain
No, don't look at the rain
Some people i know have lost their feel for mystery
They say everything has got to be proved, this isn't a nursery
And joseph who's five years old, stops fights in his playground yard
No more fights and bigotry, oh is it so hard
And it's oh, don't always look at the rain
No, don't always look at the rain
Ha, don't always look at the rain
And tell me, is it a crime to have an ideal or two
Evolving takes it's time, we can't do it all in one go
Doesn't have to drive us all mad, we can only do our best
Let the mind shut up, and the heart do the rest

15. _ One Last Try
Give me one last try
Hold on for me
Believe my alibi
Keep strong
Don't set me free
Well this weakness makes me wrong
I'll show you i can be strong
And this time it is for real
I know the hurt i've made you feel
But i won't let you down
No one else would have me 'round
You gave your love so honestly
Is heaven's grace too good for me
I know i've pushed my luck
So many times
I'm slippin' slowly now
Loosin' track, of my mind
Well this shadow i've become
Will step out to meet the sun
And this time it is for real
I know the hurt i've made you feel
But i won't let you down
No one else would have me 'round
You gave your love so honestly
Is heaven's grace too good for me
And when the darkness comes
And i lose sight,
Of the precious world
That you put right
You've the strength to pull me through
One last try i'm asking you
And this time it is for real
I know the hurt i've made you feel
But i won't let you down
No one else would have me 'round
You gave your love so honestly
Is heaven's grace too good for me

16. _ No One Is To Blame
You can look at the menu but you just can't eat
You can feel the cushions but you can't have a seat
You can dip your foot in the pool but you can't have a swim
You can feel the punishment but you can't commit the sin
And you want her and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame
You can build a mansion but you just can't live in it
You're the fastest runner but you're not allowed to win
Some break the rules
And live to count the cost
The insecurity is the thing that won't get lost
And you want her and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame
You can see the summit but you can't reach it
It's the last piece of the puzzle but you just can't make it fit
Doctor says you're cured but you still feel the pain
Aspirations in the clouds but your hopes go down the drain
And you want her and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame
No one ever is to blame
No one ever is to blame

17. _ You Know I Love You...don't You?
You got the socket and i got the plug
I am the floor and you are the rug
I got the rhythm you got the beat
We feel it shake us from our souls to our feet
And you know i love you
You know i love you...don't you
You got the metal and i got the die
We make a structure that no one can deny
I need you and you need me
I need your honey like a flower needs a bee
You know i love you
You know i love you...don't you
No one is an island on that you can depend
A person on his own is a sinking ship
It will be that way til the time will end
Now don't you worry when things get tough
We'll stick together through the smooth and the rough
Your the steam engine and i am the tracks
Roll over me i'll be rolling right back 'cos

18. _ Things Can Only Get Better
We're not scared to lose it all
Security throw through the wall
Future dreams we have to realize
A thousand sceptic hands
Won't keep us from the things we plan
Unless we're clinging to the things we prize
And do you feel scared - i do
But i won't stop and falter
And if we threw it all away
Things can only get better
Wow wow wow oh, wow wow wow oh oh oh oh
Treating today as though it was
The last, the final show
Get to sixty and feel no regret
It may take a little time
A lonely path, an uphill climb
Success or failure will not alter it
And do you feel
Wow wow wow oh...
And do you feel...
