1. _ If I Can't Have You
Written by barry, maurice & robin gibb
Don't know why
I'm surviving every lonely day
When there's got to be
No chance for me
My life would end
And it doesn't matter how i cry
My tears of love
Are a waste of time
If i turn away
Am i strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what i will do
If i can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If i can't have you, oh oh oh oh
If i can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If i can't have you, oh oh oh...
Can't let go
And it doesn't matter how i try
I gave it all so easily
To you my love
To dreams that never will come true
Am i strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what i will do
If i can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If i can't have you, oh oh oh oh
If i can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If i can't have you, oh oh oh...

2. _ Love Blonde
Written by ricky & marty wilde
Something's coming down the street
Something static under your feet
Never looking left or right
'coz she'll just blow you out of sight
She's never waiting on your smile
Devastating, what's in her style ?
Situation no-go zone
But she'll cut loose when she's alone
Chorus:
She's a love blonde
She's a love blonde
She's a love blonde
She's got that sensuality for love
When the boys say "how you been
What you doin', can we get in ?"
Eyes'll flash and lips will smile
And she'll just tease them for a while
'coz now you see her, now you don't
You could be there, only you won't
If you've got that "savoir faire"
Well that girl knows and she's aware
Chorus
Oooh, well if she fills your dreams tonight
Oooh, just lay back and hold on tight
Chorus

3. _ Love Is Holy
Written by rick nowels & ellen shipley
Love is holy, don't forget it
It will heal you if you let it
Love will strip you, leave you naked
Love is sexy, love is sacred
I put my faith in me and you
Somehow i know that we'll put through
Oh i feel my life passing by
Sometimes it makes me want to cry
Thank god i've got you by my side
Every night i hope and pray
Nothing takes your love away
I lie awake just to watch you breathe
Love is holy when you lay with me
Love is holy baby stay with me
I don't understand the world today
Is everything made just to throw away
But you and i (you and i)
Get closer as time goes by (till i die)
I feel my love intensify
Baby you're a spiritual high
Every night i hope and pray
Nothing takes your love away
I lie awake just to watch you breathe
Love is holy when you lay with me
Love is holy baby stay with me
Love is holy, don't forget it
It will heal you if you let it
Love will strip you, leave you naked
Love is sexy, love is sacred
Every night i hope and pray
Nothing takes your love away
I lie awake just to watch you breathe
Love is holy when you lay with me
Love is holy baby stay with me
(every night i hope and pray)
(nothing takes your love away)
I lie awake just to watch you breathe
Love is holy when you lay with me
Love is holy baby stay with me

5. _ In My Life
Written by ricky & kim wilde
Look for the strength you know you can feel
Search for the truth you know that is real
Then reach for the place you know they can't steal
And say, i'm feeling good with my life
No point in letting life bring you down
There's always something bad hangin' round
Face up to trouble and stare it out
I know i'm feeling good with my life
In my life - everything is feeling good
In my life - feeling like you know it should
In my life - can't you see it's understood
I'm feeling good with my life
No better place to start than with you
Get your head together then follow through
It's not what you're saying it's what you do
I know i'm feeling good with my life
Don't fantasize how your life could be
Make all your dreams a reality
Then there is nothing can bring you down
I know i'm feeling good with my life
In my life - everything is feeling good
In my life - feeling like you know it should
In my life - can't you see it's understood
I'm feeling good with my life
We've got to make it living together
Learning to share our lives
We've got to speak from the heart
Find a new way to start
That's something we've all got to realise
In my life

6. _ You Came
Written by ricky & kim wilde
Someone i know is staring at me
And when i look into her eyes
I see a girl that i used to be
I hardly recognise
Cos in the space of a year
I've watched the old me disappear
All of the things i once held precious
Just don't mean anything anymore
Cos suddenly
You came, and changed the way i feel
No one could love you more
Because you came and turned my life around
No one could take your place
I've never felt good with permanent things
Now i don't want anything to change
You can't imagine the joy you bring
My life won't be the same
And i'll be there when you call
I'll pick you up if you should fall
Cos i have never felt such inspiration
Nobody else ever gave me more because
You came, and changed the way i feel
No one could love you more
Because you came and turned my life around
No one could take your place
I watch you sleep in the still of the night
You look so pretty when you dream
So many people just go through life
Holding back, they don't say what they mean
But it's easy for me
Since you came
No one could love you more
Because you came and turned my life around
No one could take your place
You came, and changed the way i feel
No one could love you more
Because you came and turned my life around
No one could take your place

7. _ The Second Time (go For It)
Written by ricky & marty wilde
Go go
Don't wanna know about vacations in this cheap motel
Don't wanna know about your sea green curtains
Cos all i want 'n' all i need is just some time with you
Don't complicate it - just do it once again
Just go for it
Just go for the second time
Just go for it, just go - just go
Don't wanna hear about the time and how it's gettin' late
How can you stop when i could go for hours
You need some magic; come on let me lean on you
Don't look around - you're not goin' anywhere
Just go for it
Just go for the second time
Just go for it, just go - just go for it
'cos all i need
And all i need
'cos all i want 'n' all i need
I'm never letting go - baby don't expect me to
How can you stop when my whole world's exploding (go)
Look in the mirrors - and see the heat of something new
Why don't we do it - just do it once again
Just go for it
Just go for the second time
Just go for it, just go - just go for it
Don't be so nervous
Don't get so hot
Don't start to fumble it up
'cos all i want 'n' all i need
There's such an urgency in everything i need from you
Stop giving up - you know you can't refuse me (go)
I've every reason to believe there's still a man in you
You done it once so come on go again
Just go for it
Just go for the second time
Just go for it, just go
Just go for it, just go...

8. _ Cambodia
Written by ricky & marty wilde
Well he was thailand based
She was an airforce wife
He used to fly weekends
It was the easy life
But then it turned around
And he began to change
She didn't wonder then
She didn't think it strange
But then he got a call
He had to leave that night
He couldn't say too much
But it would be alright
He didn't need to pack
They'd meet the next night
He had a job to do
Flying to cambodia
And as the nights passed by
She tried to trace the past
The way he used to look
The way he used to laugh
I guess she'll never know
What got inside his soul
She couldn't make it out
Just couldn't take it all
He had the saddest eyes
The girl had ever seen
He used to cry some nights
As though he lived a dream
Ans as she held him close
He used to search her face
As though she knew the truth
Lost inside cambodia
But then a call came through
They said he'd soon be home
She had to pack a case
And they would make a rendez-vous
But now a year has passed
And not a single word
And all the love she knew
Has disappeared out in the haze
Cambodia - don't cry now - no tears now
And now the years have passed
With not a single word
But there is only one thing left
I know for sure
She won't see his face again

9. _ Four Letter Word
Written by ricky & marty wilde
I tell ya
It's hell yeah
When love says goodbye it's a four letter word
Because your heart knows
When love goes
The feeling is bad - it's the pits of the world
It's sad but true
When nothing you can do, can bring it back
Standing in the rain
She starts to cry
Is it all a game
She wonders why
Why it had to start
Why should it end, and take her apart
Because she shows it
She knows it
But what can she do, it's a four letter word
Because it shakes you
It breaks you
And when it's the end, it's the worst thing you heard
It's over now
And nothing you can do can bring it back
Calling out his name
She starts to cry
Guys are all the same
She wants to die
Hide away the tears
No-one will see, and no-one must hear
But oh
How can the love that she has be profain
And how can something that's so beautiful
Just jeckyl and hyde around
It's so sad...
I tell ya
It's hell yeah
When love says goodbye
It's a four letter word
Because your heart knows
When love goes
The feeling is bad
It's the worst in the world
It's sad but true
When nothing you can do, can get it back
Standing in the rain
She starts to cry
Shouting out is name
Four letter words

10. _ Child Come Away
Written by ricky & marty wilde
Child come away
It's the girl with the deputy walking by
Child go and play
No i won't give you reasons so don't ask why
I read the story about a week ago
They found her on the beach that night
They thought the light had gone out of her eyes
And no-one thinks she'll ever be right
She was so full of her life
Happy with the people she knew
But then no-one can tell
Child come away
It's the girl with the deputy walking by
Child go and play
No i won't give you reasons so don't ask why
Guess all they found were some marks in the sand
A message saying 'she is mine'
Nobody touched her as she got in the car
Well nobody dares to anytime
She was so full of her life
The girl that everybody once knew
But now no-one can tell
Child come away
It's the girl with the deputy walking by
Child go and play
No i won't give you reasons so don't ask why
And when they read a story out to the judge
I heard they had to turn away
It's all over town
I saw her face in the back of a car
As they were speeding out of town
She's got a mark on the side of her face
That no-one's ever seen around
And what she is or what she's become
I guess the town will never know
Child come away
It's the girl with the deputy walking by
Child go and play
No i won't give you reasons so don't ask why

11. _ Kids In America
Written by ricky & marty wilde
Looking out a dirty old window
Down below the cars in the
City go rushing by
I sit here alone
And i wonder why
Friday night and everyone's moving
I can fell the heat
But it's shooting
Heading down
I search for the beat in this dirty town
Down town the young ones are going
Down town the young ones are growing
Chorus :
We're the kids in america (x 2)
Everybody live for the music-go-round
Bright lights the music gets faster
Look boy, don't check on your watch
Not another glance
I'm not leaving now, honey not a chance
Hot-shot, give me no problems
Much later baby you'll be saying never mind
You know life is cruel, life is never kind
Kind hearts don't make a new story
Kind hearts don't grab any glory
Ch.
Come closer, honey that's better
Got to get a brand new experience
Feeling right
Oh don't try to stop baby
Hold me tight
Outside a new day is dawning
Outside sububia's sprawling everywhere
I don't want to go baby
New york to east california
There's a new wave coming i warn you
Ch.
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in america

12. _ Rage To Love
Written by ricky & marty wilde
Ten little indians
Standin' in a row
All dressed up
But nowhere to go
Lookin' for a target
Lookin' for a man ........
Just get me outta here
It's not the place
My mind's been thinkin' on
Just push me out again
It's no use hangin' round or hangin'on
Seven little indians
Standin' in a row
The compere walks on the stage and he says
"sing it girls"
But the band's no good
And the song don't cut it
Just get me outta here
It's not the place
My mind's been thinkin' on
Just push me out again
It's no use hangin' round or hangin'on
Come on, let's go tonight
We gotta brand new way to celebrate it
Oh - i got this rage to love
Baby - it's so right
And if you feel it ...
Good !
Dedicate it
Oh - i got this rage to love
Three little indians
Cryin' in their make-up
Nobody stops
And nobody cares
Just get me outta here
It's not the place
My mind's been thinkin' on
Just push me out again
It's no use hangin' round or hangin'on
Come on let's go tonight
We gotta brand new way to celebrate it
Oh - i got this rage to love
Baby it's so right
And if you feel it...
Good !
Dedicate it
Oh i got this rage to...
Oh it's just this rage to... oh i got this rage to love

Written by holland, dozier & holland
Set me free why don't cha babe
Get out of my life why don't cha babe
'cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin'on
Set me free why don't cha babe
Get out of my life why don't cha babe
You don't really need me
But you keep me hangin'on
Why do you keep a comin' around
Playing with my heart
Why don't cha get out of my life
And let me make a brand new start
Let me get over you
The way you've gotten over me yeah
You say although we broke up
You still just wanna be friends
But how can we still be friends
When seeing you only breaks my heart again
Get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night
'cos you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin'on
You say you still care for me
But your heart and soul needs to be free
And now that you've got your freedom
You wanna still hold on to me
You don't want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else
Why don't cha be a man about it and set me free
Now you don't care a thing about me
You're just using me - hey, abusing me
Get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night
'cos you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin'on
You don't really need me
You just keep me - hangin'on

14. _ View From A Bridge
Written by ricky & marty wilde
View from a bridge, can't take anymore
View from a bridge, can't take anymore
I guess it all began about a year ago
Like a cheap love magazine
You know the kind you read about
And have to laugh
At the pages in between
Now i can't believe that fool inside is me
'cos i just can't face the world
I've grown to see
View from a bridge, can't take anymore
View from a bridge, can't take anymore
I saw you kissing her
I saw you making her
In the soft sheets in between
But when you turned around
I saw your eyes were fire
And you crashed out all my dreams
And like a fool i just stood there
And let it go
I should have fought right back
And let my feelings show
View from a bridge, can't take anymore
View from a bridge, can't take anymore
You sure as hell knew how
To make a fool out of me
Well you cut me down
For the things you want
And now it's killing me
I'll lay it on the line now
You're running out of time now
But then a voice said jump
And i just let go
And i'm floating out in space
But then i feel your arms
And i turn around
To a ghost without a face
And i just don't know
What's fact or fantasy
'cos when i look below the bridge
I see it's me

15. _ Another Step (closer To You)
Written by kim wilde & steve byrd
Never, ever felt this way before
You are the one that i'am craving for
Another step nearer your heart
Another step closer to knowing you
Another step nearer your heart
I'm on my way
I never thought it could happen
Being close to someone like you
But you know this isn't just a minute affair
If we make time and take a lot of care
I love everything about it
There's such a good feel about it
And i know where i'm gonna be
If you take a step closer to me
I couldn't even describe it
Though i tried i couldn't find the words
When you're stumbling through life
And love is one step away
Carry on or do you stay
We've got to promise faithfully
To hang on to each other and never leave
That's the way love's gonna be
If you take a step closer to me - come on now
The only way to deal with affairs of the heart
You've got to jump right in, doesn't matter who starts
Take a step nearer, come over here
Together we can make it tonight

16. _ Never Trust A Stranger
Written by ricky & kim wilde
I knew there was a danger
But couldn't resist
The touch of a stranger
The thrill of his kiss
Cos this time
I thought it was love
I thought it was heaven
Having the time of my life
I know it's not true
Oh never trust a stranger with your heart
Oh no, never trust a stranger with your heart
My world is in pieces
You've stolen my pride
And i'm left defeated
And crushed by your lies
Like a tiger you hunted and tracked me down
Savaged my soul and took over control
And then when you'd used all the love you found
You left without trace
Not a note or a single goodbye
I thought it was love
I thought it was heaven
Having the time of my life
I know it's not true
Oh never trust a stranger with your heart
Oh no, never trust a stranger with your heart

17. _ Water On Glass
Written by ricky & marty wilde
Cascading down
There's a sound vaporising into vision
It's a sound in my head
That i feel and it shuts me in a prison
Say it won't last
Say it will pass
Always the sound in my brain
Can you hear it
Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's
Coming down
Dancing away
Like the lights on a moving coloured river
Sounds in my head seem to run
And again i feel a shiver
Say it won't last
Pray it will pass
Always that sound in my brain
Can you hear it (can you hear it)
Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's
Coming down
Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's
Coming down
