unknown

Written by kim wilde & steve byrd

Hard to get a view of things
Though a broken window
Hard to understand the reasons
Why love comes and goes
Just when you turn a corner
And think that you'll find
Some peace of mind
Confusion will strike you blind

It's too late to turn back now
It's too late to turn it all around
It's too late, no words to say
I know it's gonna be another lonely day
I can't find a reason i should stay

Hard to understand the reasons
Why love comes and goes
Just when you turn a corner
And think that you'll find
Some peace of mind
Confusion will strike you blind

T's too late to turn back now
It's too late to turn it all around
It's too late, no words to say
I know it's gonna be another lonely day
I can't find a reason i should stay

(i know, i know)
I know it's gonna be another lonely day
(i know, i know)
I know it's gonna be another lonely day
Confusion will strike you blind

T's too late to turn back now
It's too late to turn it all around
It's too late, no words to say
Cos i know it's gonna be another lonely day
But i can't find a reason i should stay

Janine - what's going on
Janine - i know that something sure is wrong
There's lights out on the road
And they're searchin' for you

Janine - life wasn't fair
Janine - when you got home and no-one cared
But running from your life
You let the vultures get through
And they feed on you, they feed on you

Chorus:
So what you gonna do when the lights burn out janine
What you gonna do when your light burns out

Janine - you want the truth
Janine - you'll find the pressure's now on you
You wanted all the world
But they've taken it all
And they're bleeding you, they're bleeding you

So, what you gonna do when the lights burn out janine
What you gonna do when your light burns out

Heh kid, don't hesitate
Don't stick around now
I bet you can hardly wait
Oh what a time i'll give to you
But it's never true

Janine - you'll soon be there
Janine - you're on a wing and a prayer
But angels love their own
And they're reaching out for you

Janine ..... oh janine

Why do i seem to confuse you
Do i lose you
Do i really look so strange
A woman alone is a danger
Is a stranger
She is better off in chains

Oh, how can it be you're happier now
Don't you feel half of you has gone
Sorry to say i've never felt so together
I've never felt this strong

I'm on my own again
And it's never felt so good
(i'm on my own)
I don't feel broken hearted
Don't feel that i should
I'm on my own again
Hard to believe but i never felt so alive

Why do you want to control me
Try to own me
Like a pet you'd like to tame
Don't look at me like i'm crazy
That's just lazy
Cause it's you that's got to change

Oh, how can it be you're happier now
Isn't it lonely on your own
Sorry to say my loneliest days have gone
And i've never felt so at home

I'm on my own again
And it's never felt so good
(i'm on my own)
I don't feel broken hearted
Don't feel that i should
I'm on my own again
Hard to believe but i never felt so alive

I'm on my own again
After all the years inside
(i'm on my own)
I've destroyed all the things that hurt me
Rediscovered my pride
I'm on my own again
Hard to believe but i never felt so alive

Feels so alive
I feel so alive

I'm on my own again
And it's never felt so good
(i'm on my own)
I don't feel broken hearted
Don't feel that i should
I'm on my own again
Hard to believe but i never felt so alive

Feels so alive
(i'm on my own)
I don't feel broken hearted
Don't feel that i should
I'm on my own again

Do you remember when tears fell like rain
When hearts got broken again and again
The disillusionment after the pain
Seems everything stays the same

But time goes by and you've further to fall
You build your life like you're building a wall
Then it surrounds you, and though you may call
You're voice is so small

And all your expectations of how life should be
Have needed correction
There is no perfection but

Someday maybe you'll stop living
In a world of fantasy
Someday open up your mind and see
Live in a reality

Life's in your hands but you're closing your mind
Cos you're afraid of the mess you will find
You're scared that's love gonna leave you behind
That you're running out of time

And all your expectations of how life should be
Have needed correction
There is no perfection
But

Someday maybe you'll stop living
In a world of fantasy
One day open up your mind and see
Live in a reality
Someday maybe you'll stop looking
For a world of make believe
One day open up your eyes ans see
Make it a reality

Stop crying
Looking at life through bitter tears
And face your fears
To reveal the thruth inside
Just like a child

Someday maybe you'll stop living
In a world of fantasy
One day open up your mind and see
Live in a reality
Maybe you'll stop looking
For a world of make believe
Someday open up your eyes and see
Make it a reality

Someday...
Someday...

Let's think of the good things
Instead of all the bad
We mustn't give into
A world that's going mad
So hold on, we can survive
We've got to keep the spirit
Of destiny alive
Just say that we can if we try

Like the rivers need the mountains
Just like the flowers need the rain
Pleasure need the pain
However far away it seems
I'm dreaming for a world
In perfect armony

And we've got to face it
There's nowhere left to hide
(but we need) a determination
To change the wrong to right
The future's a baby born
Looking for us for strength
To keep it from harm
You know we'll succeed if we try

Like the rivers need the mountains
Just like flowers need the rain
Pleasure need the pain
How ever far away it seems
I'm dreaming for a world
In perfect harmony

Don't let your dreams escape
The future's ours to shape

It's good to meet you - how you doin'
I haven't seen your face before
Yeah i'm alone here - noticed you the minute
You walked through the door

It's getting late and so much time is wasted
Dancing on the floor
And making small talk
I've been through that before
How do you want my love

You know they told me - keep your distance
Got to play love by the rules
And i believed them wound up losing
Love left me for a fool

I know i'm not the only one
Who knows what love can do
It's in your eyes
You've been hurt the same way too

How do you want my love
How do you want my love tonight
How do you want my love
How do you want my love tonight

Here with you i can smile away the pain
Make believe i can fall in love again
Won't you tell me your name
How do you want my love

The party's over - there's people leaving
Friend saying their goodbyes
So come on over - i'll make you coffee
No need to end the night

(this i swear...)

Each and every way i can
I will prove to you
I've got a fortune in my hands when i'm holding you
Never wanna let you go again
And that's the truth
I will try and answer all your prayers
This i swear

There's always a danger
There's always a fear
Love's not gonna make it out of here
I'm not asking for perfection
Just want a love that's true
And in return
I'll do my best for you
It seems the higher we climb
The further we fall together
But right here, i'll vow
Baby, i promise you know

Each and every way i can
I will prove to you
I've got a fortune in my hands when i'm holding you
Never wanna let you go again
And that's the truth
I will try and answer all your prayers
This i swear

We each have our moments
Our times of doubt
But i know deep down
Don't wanna live without you
You're the exception to the rule
Cos where love's concerned
I guess i've been a fool
I know it's a long, long road
But as long as we stand together
Right here, i'll vow
Baby i promise you now

Each and every way i can
I will prove to you
I've got a fortune in my hands when i'm holding you
Never wanna let you go again
And that's the truth
I will try and answer all your prayers
This i swear

Just like in a dream
I'm trying to scream
But no-one can hear me when i call
I feel paralysed
Unable to cry
While watching the world around me fall

Heard it on the news today
What are we doing to our world
There's got to be a better way
And we've got to choose it

And while we destroy
Our children will grow
Not missing the things they'll never know
A crime against them
Against you and me
A crime against all humanity

Heard it on the news today
What are we doing to our world
There's got to be a better way
And we've got to choose it

Don't you know that a day will come
To everyone
When they'll ask us to explain
Are we going to say that we weren't to blame
Who else could there be

Just like in a dream
I'm trying to scream
I feel paralysed
Unable to cry
What are we doing

Heard it on the news today
What are we doing to our world
There's got to be a better way
Or we're gonna lose it

Who's to blame?

Hello hello hello again
The strangest feelings touch my heart
It didn't cross my mind we'd meet again
We'd taken roads so far apart - but...

Just when we thought it was goodbye

Hello hello hello again
The memories drift out of time
The face i used to kiss a million ways
The love i truly thought was mine
I guess we just forgot to talk about it
And so we took the exit sign - but...

Just when we thought it was goodbye

Hello hello hello my love again
We make it seem like our first time
I want to stay inside your life again
To fall apart just seems a crime
And when we thought we'd closed the shutters down
And we had nowhere left to start - but...

Just when we thought it was goodbye

Hey, hey don't look so far away boy
Tell me what you're thinking
You say you're scared my love won't stay
Don't get lost in superstition
What does it take
For two hearts to trust enough to stay together
When is it safe
For two friends to turn into lovers forever
Why don't you know
By now you know me so very well
If you're asking then i'll tell
Where do you go from here
Straight to my heart that's where you belong
Where do you go from here
Straight to my heart that's where you belong
Hey, hey nothing could ever change the course of our collision
No fear we're destined to be here it's not even our decision
It's out of our hands
Love is a precious gift that we're given
Love as a plan
So don't try to read the writing in the heavens
You'll understand
The answers in my touch and my kiss
Boy you can be sure of this
Where do you go from here
Straight to my heart that's where you belong
Where do you go from here
Straight to my heart
Forever to be as one
Don't even try to deny the feeling deep in your soul
Cos you know that love will always take control
It's out of your hands
Love as a plan
So don't try to read the writing in the heavens
You'll understand the answers in my touch and my kiss
Boy you can be sure of this

You say hop and i hop
You say drop and i drop
You say stop and i stop
Anything you say i'm not gonna play

I'm just like putty

Or mould me down to the size of a rubberball
You can use me, abuse me, but don't refuse me
Without your love i ain't nothing at all

They say i'm a fool

Images projected on a screen
Step into an artificial dream
Programme all the things you want to feel
Make a world where fantasies are real

Stand back and let the future unfurl
We'll all be living in a virtual world
In a virtual world
Ah-ah, in a virtual world

Journey far beyond the atmosphere
Watch the world behind you disappear
Float inside a microscopic cell
Is this dream a heaven or a hell?

Stand back and watch the future unfurl
We'll all be living in a virtual world
In a virtual world
Ah-ah, in a virtual world

In the name of progress science stands
Pushing all the frontiers known to man
When they go too far the frontiers break
And we're left to deal with their mistakes

Stand back and watch the future unfurl
We'll all be living in a virtual world
In a virtual world
Ah-ah, in a virtual world

Images projected on a screen
Step into an artificial dream
Programme all the things you want to feel
Make a world where fantasies are real
In the name of progress science stands
Pushing all the frontiers known to man

And we're left to deal with their mistakes

Stand back and watch the future unfurl
We'll all be living in a virtual world

A long time ago you promised yourself
They're all gonna know me someday
Well you got what you wanted
But look at you now
You lost something good on the way
So where did it go
Tell me where did it go
But you wouldn't know

Snap your fingers and somebody runs
You don't care how they feel
Just as long as they come
Got your head in the stars
Now you've come this far
Just who do you think you are ?

Now everything seems to be going your way
And everyone loves what they see
But you ruin it all with the things that you say
So tell me how does it feel
When you're all alone
How does it feel
You're alone
Nothing is real

Snap your fingers and somebody runs
You don't care how they feel
Just as long as they come
Got your head in the stars
Now you've come this far
Just who do you think you are ?
You believe a ridiculous lie
You can't see you've become
All the things you despise
But i know who you are
And you've gone too far
Just who do you think you are ?

You can keep all your dreams
But you don't have to lose yourself
Cos one day you're gonna break
When the face in the mirror
Looking back at you's
A stranger that you can't place
Just who do you think you are ?

Snap your fingers and somebody runs
You don't care how they feel
Just as long as they come
Got your head in the stars
Now you've come this far
Just who do you think you are ?
You believe a ridiculous lie
You can't see you've become
All the things you despise
But i know who you are
And you've gone too far
Just who do you think you are ?

They said "stick with your own kind
You're out of your depth
Think you've had it bad so far
You're not finished yet"
And all she's known is the taste of tears
She's going no - where, can anybody hear

Now she's missing in the eyes of the law
She got out quick, she couldn't take much more
Now she's missing in the eyes of the law
Somebody help her

It's cold in the street
There's a cold in her nose
She's been walking all night
And the rain's soaked her clothes
She doesn't know what she's doing here
She shrugs her shoulders, guess that's the way it goes

And now she's missing in the eyes of the law
She only did it 'cos she wanted much more
And now she's missing in the eyes of the law
Somebody help her
Somebody

Hidden away - it's the end of a day
And you're not really thinking at all
There's that same stupid paper on the wall
And a stain where the damp's crawling

Chorus:
He's still looking for his shangri-la
But he wouldn't know it . . .
If it hit him in the face
If it hit him in the face

Day turns to daze
And indifference plays
While a sun goes on beating in the sky
And a small child falls over as she crys
Somewhere someone is calling her

Chorus
She's still looking for her shangri-la
But she wouldn't know it . . .
If it hit her in the face
If it hit her in the face

Spoken : i take a look behind me
And the sun shines brighter there
And the people are much more beautiful
In a place without a care
And i'm wondering if there'll ever be room for me
In shangri-la

Wondering now - do you love me - and now
As i burn with a dangerous desire
Is our time up and on to the next fire
Got my fingers burnt and cut into the wire
Do you think we will ever learn

Chorus

As we keep looking our shangri-la...
Our shangri-la
But we wouldn't know it . . .
If it hit us in the face
If it hit us in the face

Influences now are things that are all around me
Changing shape as they move around in an open mind
Coloured in by the images i find
I'm just watching for shapes that grow
I'm just watching for shapes that grow
(watching for shapes that grow)

Like electric sparks they danced by an open mirror
Closing doors never looking round but it's not goodbye
They'll be there till i'm taken out i know
I'm just watching for shapes that grow
I'm just watching for shapes that grow
(watching for shapes that grow)

In my mind there's a space that's full of painted pictures
Things i did that i went through, but can't recall
Now and then there's a flash of the unknown
I'm just watching for shapes that grow
I'm just watching for shapes that grow
(watching for shapes that grow)

(watching for shapes that grow)
(watching for shapes that grow)

I got this fever that burns in my head
And i don't want to move out of this bed
My heart is speeding away like a fast freight train
It's heading your way
It's racing like a river that's gone out of control
And reaches out for something completely unknown
It's eating through the senses and breathes in my soul
Oh this feeling just got to let it go

I got so much love
Do you feel the same
I got so much love
Do you feel the same
We'll how can i begin to
Hide the feelings that i'm into - for you
I got so much love inside
I got this feeling for you

But now the cure is about to begin
I feel your fingers all over my skin
And then the fire of kiss
What a thrill
So sweet so sweet
I don't

Written by kim wilde

Don't say nothing's changed with you
I can hear it in your sighs
The way that you can't look me in the eyes
It's spelling out bad news

So don't say it's the same we two
No i can't say i'm suprised
'cos i could see it in your eyes
And no you don't have to lie
Baby you don't have to lie

Why can't it be like yesterday
The feelings gone
But i just want to say that i love you know
And i'm holding on for you
Is that a silly thing to do

So don't say nothing's changed with you
Now we're running out of time
And i've got to give up something that was mine
Oh baby doesn't it seem cruel

So don't say it's the same we two
'cos we're already worlds apart
And now the lonliness will start
Oh boy you're breaking my heart
Baby you're breaking my heart

So don't say nothing's changed with you

Written by ricki & kim wilde

I'm a prisoner who can never leave
Someone that you use anytime you please
But i never want you to set me free
Cos i'm addicted to this love disease

And the fever rages in my soul
Begging you to want me and take control
But come tommorow you'll let me go
To find another foolish heart i know

As i face another lonely night
A different lover will hold you tight
It's not right

I can't help myself from crying over you
I can't get enough of your love
Yeah i'm dying cos it's true
I can't get enough of your love

I'm going crazy can't you see
You're turning every day into misery
Just like murder in the first degree
You're killing something deep inside of me
Cos you don't care if i should live or die
And you don't even attempt to lie
And that's why

Divorce - law courts
Lawyers in their new sports car
Lots of money spent
The public making judgement

He said - she said
Analyse the news you've read
Irresistible - the updates unmissable
Fighting - uniting
The press are busy writing
They analyse the word called love
But what can they be thinking of ?

They say that love means the same
All over the world
But i don't think so
Let me tell you something
I think you should know

Don't fall in love (in hollywood)
It won't fell like you know it should (in hollywood)
An you can bet it won't do ya no good
It's just not understood
I said

Scheming - screaming
This time you're gonna leave him
You want to get the message straight
Now people think you're on the take

'listen to me' - a cnn free therapy
Advice on how to live your life
There's something here that isn't right

Here we are
Late in the hours that start another day
Here am i
Skirting around what i really want to say

Brothers
Well they hold a place in your heart
They're something apart
But then...
Lovers...
Well that's a different thing to talk about

All this world
You know i'd give you my love - if there were more
But these words
Cover the roads that we've walked so long before
That's another feeling
That's a different story
When we've really nowhere to start
That's another feeling
That's another place in your heart - when i say brothers

We've got really nowhere to start
That's another feeling
That's a different story
They're simply just two worlds apart
That's another feeling
That's another place in my heart - when i say brothers

When ever we two get talking about love
It always ends up
Ends up in tears
I would have thought by now you'd know me
So please stop cryin'
And wasting those tears

Written by o.s. blandamer

Too much time talking at each other
Seems you've got a different point of view
Lets just relax
Get down to basic facts
I'll tell you just exactly what to do
You want the car, oh yeah
Well every penny in my pocket isn't yours, my friend
I'm gonna do what my mama says, she said

Hit him, hit him in the heart
That's where it's gonna hurt
Hit him, hit him in the heart
Don't let him treat you like dirt

I don't wanna sound like in complaining
But what's it got to do with love at all
It's a private deal
Painful and so real
You make me feel like i just want to crawl
What's yours is yours, oh yeah
If you want to get your bags
Well i'll leave them in the wall
I'm gonna do what my mama says, she said

You've been spreading rumours all about me
But all these things you said are just not true
Sticks and stones
Can break my bones
But boy they're gonna hurt you too
I've got my pride, oh yeah
So i'll just take your heart and beat it black and blue
I'm gonna do what my mama said, she said . . .

You placed your bet while you were laughing in my face
And you let another woman take my place
No you wouldn't listen, wouldn't hear
I tried to change your mind
I never knew love was so conceited, so unkind

I was always one step ahead of you
Deep in my heart i always knew
Now admit it, you're gonna lose this fight
I'm not waiting any longer
Get him back to me tonight

Love send him back to me
Now that you've set him free
You better admit defeat
Love send him back to me

You broke her heart while you gambled with their souls
Now she's just another sad adventure you'll forget
But he didn't love her
Still you tried to satisfy your goal
I never knew love was so deceiving, so cold

I was always one step ahead of you
Deep in my heart i always knew
Now admit it, you're gonna lose this fight
I'm not waiting any longer
Get him back to me tonight

(i'm gonna stay... (i'm gonna stay...))

The pain inside
When you think you love another
But can't decide which way to go
And you're searching for a reason to leave his side
In time you'll see
It has to be this way
And though it hurts to say
I'm gonna be staying with my baby

(i'm gonna stay... (i'm gonna stay...))
I know he's good for me
I can see that he's feeling down
(i'm gonna stay... (i'm gonna stay...))
But i know he cares for me
And in time he will come around
So dry your eyes, before you turn away
You must know that i'll always love you
But now, i'm staying with my baby

You used to say
I should maybe take it further
And leave one day
My family - but i'm responsible for them
They depend on me
So now you see, our love is history
I'm sad it has to end
But i'm gonna be staying with my baby

(i'm gonna stay... (i'm gonna stay...))
I know he's good for me
I can see that he's feeling down
(i'm gonna stay... (i'm gonna stay...))
But i know he cares for me
And in time he will come around
So dry your eyes, before you turn away
You must know that i'll always love you
But now, i'm staying with my baby
(i'm staying with my baby... yes i am)

Please understand
He's just a desperate man
Who's doing all he can
So i'm going back

(i'm gonna stay... (i'm gonna stay...))
I know he's good for me
I can see that he's feeling down
(i'm gonna stay... (i'm gonna stay...))
But i know he cares for me
And in time he will come around
(i'm gonna stay... (i'm gonna stay...))
I'm gonna stay
(i'm gonna stay... (i'm gonna stay...))
I'm gonna stay

Lovers on a beach
Lovers on a beach
Two naked hands lay on the sand
When all the world was out of reach
Through the shuttered doors
The music filtered through
Playing on a theme that couldn't run

Lovers on a shore
Lovers on a shore
The heavy wine of broken time
But now they're gone it's nothing more
Looking back on days
When summer seemed so long
Now there's only winter nights to come

And oh - sometimes she's missing you
She hears the shore
She feels it more
And out there the waves are breaking
Back here her heart is aching

Lovers on a beach
Lovers on a beach
Two silhouettes were on a shore
But now they're lost and out of reach
Now on lonely roads
The flashbacks lead to you
Like a faded photograph in time

Oh lovers (lovers, lovers, lovers, lovers...)

And oh just as she's missing you
She hears the shore
She feels it more
And out there the waves are breaking
Back here her heart is aching

Lovers on a beach
Lovers on a beach
Two naked hands they're on the sand
When all the world was out of reach

Lovers on a beach
Lovers on a beach
Lovers
Lovers
Lovers on a beach
Lovers
Lovers
Lovers

Written by kim & ricki wilde

Tonight i'm gonna fly
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes of love
Towards the open sky
Gonna spread my wings and circle above
I've been too long on the ground
My head looking down
I don't want to be there again
You gave me a love so real
Now i can't believe how you're making me feel

You take me to heaven baby
You're taking me higher and higher
You take me to paradise
Don' you know it feels so good
You take me to heaven, higher, higher

The sweetest liberty is a heart in chains that love sets free
And so you came my way
And i knew i'd found my destiny
The pain and the tears have all disappeared
And now i won't be crying no more
I never felt so sure
Cos i've found what i've been looking for

You take me to hea

Written by ricki & kim wilde

Although i'm standing here beside you
You make me feel like i'm all alone
And i've been trying hard to break through
But if you need me i've got to know

Baby, i've got to know is this imagination or something real
Baby, where do you go won't you come a little closer
And tell me how you feel

Tell me where you are
Cos we seem so far apart
Tell me where you are
Where's your heart

I know that love has been a stranger
And always something that let you down
Hoeny, you're not in any danger
I'll never give up on what we've found

Baby, i love you so come on turn around and listen to what i say
Baby, i'll never go you don't have to keep your distance
Please stop running away

Tell me where you are
Cos we seem so far apart
Tell me where you are
Where's your heart

Have you discovered a place to hide
Because you're scared of letting anyone inside
Forget your pride
Come on baby give it a try

Baby
Tell me where you are
Where's your heart
Baby, tell me where you are
Cos we seem so far apart
Tell me where you are
Where's your heart

Written by kim wilde & tony swain

There was a lot to make up
For the time we'd had
Cos we'd been lonely far too long
Had enough of feeling sad
And no, it didn't take long
To right all the wrong
And hurt inside
And now i can't believe what's happening
Right before my eyes

Just look at the rain falling
Look at the thunder
Look at the storm in your hearts
Look at the waves crashing
Pulling us under
Helplessly lost in the dark

We could have lost so easily
And let it go
We had no reason to believe
That love was just about to grow
And we got given a chance
I'm so proud we didn't throw it away
Cos broken hearts lie on the pavement
You see them every day

Just look at the rain falling
Look at the thunder
Look at the thunder
Look at the storm in your hearts
Look at the waves crashing
Pulling us under
Helplessly lost in the dark
In the dark

Just look at the rain falling
Look at the thunder
Look at the storm in your hearts
Look at the waves crashing
Pulling us under
Helplessly lost in the dark

Look at the rain
Look at the thunder
Look at the storm
In our hearts
In our hearts

Why you always got to be so cool
And why i always got to play your fool
You don't really know what life's about
Baby come and let your feelings out

Say you really want me
Don't keep it to yourself
Say you really need me
Just me and no one else
Say you really love me
Ooh let me know it's true
Say you really want me
The way that i want you tonight

You don't know a thing about romance
Deep inside you're scared to take the chance
'cos love like this may never come again
Make your move or i'll be in the wind

I need somebody through the thick and the thin
'cos i know the problems of today
The time is over now for playing those games
Lets take it all the way

Featuring you keep me hangin' on, another step (closer to you) and say you really want me.

When seeing you only breaks my heart again

And let me sleep at night
'cos you don't really love me
You just keep me (keep me) hangin'on

I couldn't believe what i read when i got your letter
Said you needed to take some time to work out your life, yeah
Well, it's easy for you to just go off and do what you want
Any time you please
Don't expect me to wait
If you leave it's too late
You're gonna have to crawl back on your knees

Wotcha gonna do when it gets so lonely
When you're down and so far away from home
How ya gonna feel, you know it won't get better
Cos you've made your bed so you can lie in it on your own
Wotcha gonna do

I knew you'd been feeling the need to just change direction
But i didn't know you were gonna walk away from me, no
Now you're out on your own cos you think you've outgrown
All the things that you left behind
But it's crazy to see
Cos you know without me
You're gonna end up losing more than you find

Wotcha gonna do when it gets so lonely
When you're down and so far away from home
How ya gonna feel, you know it won't get better
Cos you've made your bed so you can lie in it on your own
Yeah, yeah

Now don't be a fool on yourself
Cos you've got so much to lose
And i really love you baby
Don't you know that i do, yeah

How ya gonna feel, you know it won't get better
Now you're down and so far away
Now you're down and so far away
Now you're down and so far away from home
Wotcha gonna do

How ya gonna feel

Written by kim wilde & tony swain

Yeah yeah alright
Life and soul
They say that it's a fact of life we'll die
But i say the fact of life is life
And as i breathe the air of another lonely day
There's something i've been meaning to say to you
I know i let you down (trust in me)
Didn't realise what i'd found (trust in me)
All i need is for you to know
Oooh you're in my soul
Love is a lesson hard to learn
Pain is a fire that keeps on burning
Come back baby (i'm gonna give you)
Oooh oooh
Pride is a wall that we can climb
Baby hold on together we'll find
Life and soul
Ayone who hurts you hurts me too
And all i want is
That life is good to you
And whether i am near or far away
I'm with you every, everyday
I know i let you down (trust in me)
Didn't realise what i'd found (trust in me)
All i need is for you to know
You're in my soul
Love is a lesson hard to learn
Pain is a fire that keeps on burning
Come back baby (i'm gonna give you)
Oooh oooh
Pride is a wall that we can climb
Baby hold on together we'll find
Life and soul

Written by ricki wilde & mick silver

Did i say something wrong
Well if i've hurt you then tell me now
Don't let your fear surround you
Why don't you talk to me

Well i know what you want
And i know what you need
But believe me baby
They may not be the same
Think it over

Deep in my heart
There's a place that only you can find
But still there's a part
Of my life wrapped in confusion
I can't tell you i'm in love
But i can't stand to lose you
Please believe me when i say i do
I believe in you, believe in you

Some people believe in love
I'd rather believe in something real
Something that lasts forever
That's why i'm still with you

So you're head over heals
And i know now it feels
But believe me baby
It won't be the same
When it's over

Deep in my heart
There's a place that only you can find
But still there's a part
Of my life wrapped in confusion
I can't tell you i'm in love
But i can't stand to lose you
Please believe me when i say i do
I believe in you, believe in you

These worlds i say aren't meant to hurt
I only want to save you pain
We'll find a way
To change your heart
And throw away these chains of love

Written by ricki & kim wilde

I will always love you
Now and forever
I will always love you
Two words collide
Before we knew what was happening
Love crashed into our lives
So helplessly we fell so hard
Guess something had to break
We made our first mistake
We thought we'd found the answer over night
To all the problems that were in our lives
And now i feel the tears
And not a minute passes by
When i don't wish
That you were near
Time will never mend (oh no)
This broken heart
Now and forever
I will always love you
Pain that never ends (oh oh)
You can be sure
Now and forever
I will always love you
When you hear my name
Tell me how do you fell
Is it just like me
My heart fills up with pain
Just the mention of you makes me fall apart
But where is there to start
You sais we missed our chance and it's too late
But i believe there's one more chance to take
I know we said goodbye
But i still can't let go
Please give us one more try
Time will never mend (oh no)
This broken heart
Now and forever
I will always love you
Pain that never ends (oh oh)
You can be sure
Now and forever
I will always love you
Think again before you walk away
There's so many reasons you should stay
It's our destiny
It how it's got to be
Just you and me
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
You know i'm gonna be right here for you
I will always love you
Giving you my heart
Giving you my soul
Never ever gonna let you go
I will always love you

Darlin' don't you know i've had enough
Wasting all my time
Darlin' put it on the line
Cos i heard you lying time and time again
Ooh and i don't want to any more
This is where our loving has to end
Darlin' now you know the score
So goodbye baby

Hey mr heartache how much can you fake
How many hearts break before you get enough
Hey mr heartache you don't give you just take
I hope for your sake you don't turn your back on love

Darlin' don't know what you're looking for
But i'm not waiting around to see
Darlin' can't take any more
I still love you but i'm gonna set you free
Ooh that's the way it's got to be
Cos i know i can't change you anyway
Darlin' there's nothing left to say
But goodbye baby

Hey mr heartache how much can you fake
How many hearts break before you get enough
Hey mr heartache you don't give you just take
I hope for your sake you don't turn your back on love

Listen to me, so listen to me
Ooh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Cos i was stupid to believe
You could give me what i need
You use anyone you can
Yet you call yourself a man
We'll seen through your disguise
And it's all that i despise
Now you've just run out of time
Go before i change my mind

Hey mr heartache, cos i love you baby
Hey mr heartache i still love you baby

I still love you but i'm gonna set you free
Ooh that's the way it's got to be
Cos i know i can't change you anyway
Darlin' there's nothing left to say
But goodbye baby

Junior:you don't know what i'm going through
You got me wrong, oh so wrong

But you're so wrong

Come on now
You don't know what i'm going through, baby

Sweet inspiration
Through the nation
With elation for your love
Inspiration, sweet inspiration
Sweet inspiration
Through the nation
With elation for your love
Inspiration, sweet sensation

You really do something special to me
And there's nothing better
Than when you're lying in my arms
So glad we got together
I never needed nobody
Until you came along
And this feeling's so strong
I should be working on something
But i ain't got the time
I've got you on my mind
Sweet inspiration
Baby you're my, sweet inspiration
Baby you're my, sweet inspiration
Baby you're my, sweet inspiration

The thought of you gives me butterflies
And i feel so happy
Whenever you reach out for me
This is how it should be
And i've just got to be with you
Nothing else can compare
Just as long as you're there
And i'll never desert you
Cos you fill me with pride
Baby you changed my life
Sweet inspiration
Baby you're my, sweet inspiration
Baby you're my, sweet inspiration
Baby you're my, sweet inspiration

When i can't think clearly
Just one kiss is all i need
Then i look in your eyes
And i know, i know, i know, i'm yours
Sweet inspiration
Through the nation
With elation for your love
Inspiration, sweet sensation
Sweet inspiration

Baby you're my, sweet inspiration
Baby you're my, sweet inspiration
Baby you're my, sweet inspiration
We got the love
Yeah got the love
We got the love
Yeah got the love
We got the love !!

As performed in the musical "tommy"
With alistair robins as mr. walker
Written by pete townsend

Alistair: this can't continue
It makes no sense
We're getting nowhere
I've lost all my confidence
The boy wants something
Unsatisfied
He needs attention
And care our love can't provide

And then, there's the matter of us

I'd like to prove
That i don't think you've seen the best of me
I've stood up for the boy
And i've clung to the hopes and the lies

I wished that the pain in your gaze
Could again be a test of me
But when i look in the mirror
I believe my own eyes

I believe my own eyes
Now i've come to the end
All my patience is gone
When i'm doubtful i tend
To believe my own eyes

Kim: i'd like to declare
This devotion and care is a life to live
That nothing has changed
And the time isn't passing us by
But i have to say here
That for us there is a clear-cut alternative
When we look at eachother
We believe our own eyes

Both: i believe my own eyes
Now i've come to the end
All my patience is gone
When i'm doubtful i tend
To believe my own eyes

This has gone far enough
After all we've been through
We can be brave
We done all we can humanly do
It's a time to be tough
A time to be wise
We must stop chasing our dreams and recover our lives

I believe my own eyes
Now i've come to the end
All my patience is gone
When i'm doubtful i tend
To believe...

I'd like to believe
But i don't think that we've seen the best of us
And a way to believe is to see where the real future lies
I hope that the pain in your gaze can again be a test of me
And when i look in the mirror
I believe my own eyes

Let's believe our own eyes
No we've come to the end
All our patience is gone
Let's admit we intend to believe our own eyes

Kim: ... to believe our own eyes

You lay me down in satin sheets softly
You're movin' slow
It's gonna be everything just for me
I know how you want to love me

Your love is sweet, i'm going down easy
But i don't know
What i'm doing here anyway, it's not me
I don't like what i feel
It's so oh woh unreal
You better leave

You go i call the stranger in black
But can't you see you're on the wrong track
Tonight i face the danger of love that knows no promises
Alive i know i'm not coming back

Bitter is better
I gotta stop and walk away
Bitter is better
Your kind of love is not for me
Bitter is better
Locked away in your lovin' sweetness
Lost the key and i just don't need this

I'm not the woman you were looking for anyway
High on a pedestal, lillywhite
Givin' me diamond rings
You're just too much for me
I'll lose my sanity
You better leave

Written by kim wilde & tony swain

In the day i can smile though i wanna die
I hold on, hold on
I can keep it together for a little while
And be strong, so strong
But when the sun goes down and i'm all alone
I haven't the strength to fight
That's when my tears give into the night
Tell me how, how much loneliness can one heart take
Without the chance that it will break in two
And why i'm holding on to a love that has gone
Tell me how to carry on

I believed that meeting you would be my destiny
Your love would come to set me free
So why am i left standing here alone
Won't you please come and take me home

Tears give into the night
In the day i can smile though i wanna die
Tears give into the night
I can keep it together for a litttle while
In the day i can smile though i wanna die
Tears give into the night
