1. _ My Brave Face
My brave face.
I've been living in style
Unaccustomed as i am to the luxury life.
I've been hitting the town and it didn't hit back.
I've been doing the rounds
Unaccustomed as i am to the time on my hands.
Now i don't have to tell anybody when i'm gonna get back.
Ever since you went away i've had this sentimental
Inclination not to change a single thing.
As i pull the sheets back on the bed i want to go bury my head
In your pillow.
Chorus:
Now that i'm alone again, i can't stop breaking down again,
The simplest things set me off again
And take me to that place
Where i can't find my brave face
Where i can't find my brave face
My brave, my brave, my brave face.
I've been living a lie
Unaccustomed as i am
To the work of a housewife,
I've been breaking up
Dirty dishes and throwing them away.
Ever since you left i have been trying to
Compose a "baby will you please come home" note
Meant for you.
As i clear away another
Untouched tv dinner
From the table i laid for two.
Now that i'm alone again
I can't stop breaking down again,
The simplest things set me off again
And take me to that place
Where i can't find my brave face,
Where i can't find my brave face,
My brave, my brave, my brave face.
My brave face.

2. _ Figure Of Eight
(well) you've got me dancing in a figure of eight,
Don't know if i'm coming or going, i'm early or late.
Round and round the ring i go,
I want to know, i want to know,
Why can't we travel a continuous line?
Make love reliable convenant all the time.
Up and down the hills i go, i got to know, i got to know.
Is is better to love another
Than to go go for a walk in the dark?
Is it better to love than to give in to hate?
Yeah we'd better take good care of each other
Avoid slipping back off the straight and narrow,
It's better by far than getting stuck in a figure of eight.
(well) figure it out for yourself little girl,
It don't go nowhere at all,
It's nothing more than a tape loop in a big dance hall.
You've got me running ...
You've got me running ...

3. _ This One
Did i ever take you in my arms,
Look you in the eye, tell you that i do,
Did i ever open up my heart
And let you look inside.
If i never did it, i was only waiting
For a better moment that didn't come.
There never could be a better moment
Than this one, this one.
The swan is gliding above the ocean,
A god is riding upon his back,
How calm the water and bright the rainbow
Fade this one to black.
Did i ever touch you on the cheek
Say that you were mine, thank you for the smile,
Did i ever knock upon your door
And try to get inside?
If i never did it, i was only waiting
For a better moment that didn't come.
There never could be a better moment
Than this one, this one.
The swan is gliding above the ocean,
A god is riding upon his back,
How calm the water and bright the rainbow
Fade this swan to black.
What opportunities did we allow to flow by
Feeling like like the timing wasn't quite right?
What kind of magic might have worked if we had stayed calm,
Couldn't i have given you a better life?
Did you ever take me in your arms,
Look me in the eye, tell me that you do?
Did i ever open up my heart,
Let you look inside?
If i never did it, i was only waiting
For a better moment that didn't come.
There never could be a better moment
Than this one, this one.
The swan is gliding above the ocean,
A god is riding upon his back,
How calm the water and bright the rainbow
Fade this swan to black.

4. _ Rough Ride
I needed loving, needed a friend
I needed something, that would be there in the end.
On a rough ride to heaven
Want to get inside, what will i do?
On a rough ride to heaven,
I want to get inside to be with you.
I knew you'd help me, i knew you could.
You knew i didn't want to be misunderstood.
On a rough ride to heaven
Want to get inside, what will i do?
On a rough ride to heaven,
I want to get inside, to be with you.
I'm not asking for an easy passage,
So i hope you understand,
I'm not after any special treatment,
But i wouldn't mind a hand.
On a rough ride, on a rough ride,
On a rough ride, on a rough ride,
On a rough ride to heaven,
Want to get inside, what will i do?

5. _ Put It There
Give me your hand i'd like to shake it
I want to show you i'm your friend.
You'll understand if i can make it clear
Its all that matters in the end.
Put it there if it weighs a ton,
That's what the father said to his younger son.
I don't care if it weighs a ton,
As long as you and i are here, put it there.
Long as you and i are here, put it there.
If there's a fight i'd like to fix it,
I hate to see things go so wrong.
The darkest night and all it's mixed emotions,
Is getting lighter sing a song.
Put it ther, ...

6. _ We Got Married
Going fast, coming soon
We made love in the afternoon.
Found a flat, after that
We got married.
Working hard for the dream,
Scoring goals for the other team,
Times were bad, we were glad
We got married.
Like the way you open up your hearts to each other,
When you find a meeting of the minds.
Just as well love was all we ever wanted,
It was all we ever had.
Further on in the game,
Waiting up till the children came.
Place your bets, no regrets,
We got married.
We got married.
We got married.
Nowadays every night flashes by
At the speed of light,
Living life, loving wife,
We got married.
I love the things that happen
When we start to discover
Who we are and what we're living for,
Just because love was all we ever wanted
It was all we ever had.
It's not just a loving machine,
It doesn't work out
If you don't work at it.

7. _ Distractions
What is this thing in life that persuades me to spend
Time away from you?
If you can answer this you can have the moon.
This is the place to be, anyway you can see
There's a lovely view.
Why are there always so many other things to do?
Distractions, like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head,
When i'm alone i think of you
And the life we'd lead if we could only be free
From these distractions.
The postman's at the door
While the telephone rings on the kitchen wall,
Pretend we're not at home and they'll disappear.
I want to be with you, tell me what i can do,
Nothing is too small
Away from all this jazz we could do anything at all.
Distractions, like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head.
When i'm alone i think of you
And the things we'd do if we could only be through
With these distractions.
I'll fond the peaceful place far a way from the noise of a busy
Day
Where we can spend our nights counting shooting stars,
Distractions, like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head.
When i'm alone i think of you
And the things we'd do if we could only be through
With these distractions, like butterflies they're
Buzzing 'round my head, when i'm alone i think of you
And the life we'd lead if we could only be free
From these distractions.

9. _ You Want Her Too
She makes me go so wrong.
(yeah you kept me awake you know you did)
I've loved her oh so long.
(so why don't you come right out and say it, stupid)?
She makes me do things i don't want to do,
I don't know why i should be telling you
I know that you want her too.
My intentions are quite sincere,
(that's not what you said the other night)
And all you can do is sneer,
(go ahead and kid yourself you're right)
She makes me do things i don't want to do,
I don't know why i should be telling you
I know that you want her too.
I've got a better chance than you do,
I know that you want her too.
You're such a hopeless romantic
She told me you're so predictable and nice,
She only did you a favour once or twice,
Once or twice.
She makes me go so wrong.
(so why don't you lie back and enjoy it)?
My conscience is clear and strong
(yes she says i'm just the boy for it).
She makes me do things i don't want to do,
I don't know why i should be telling you
I know that you want her too,
I know that you want her too,
I know that you want her too.

10. _ How Many People
How many people stand in a line?
How many people never get a chance to shine?
If you can tell me i'll gladly listen
How many people have died?
One too many right now for me
I want to be happy, i want to be free,
One too many tight now for me
I want to see ordinary people living peacefully.
How many people, go for a ride
How many people, never make it through to the other side?
If you can tell me, i'll gladly listen,
How many people have cried?
One too many right now for me
I want to be happy,
I want to be free,
One too many tight now for me
I want to see ordinary people living peacefully.
How many people, will i take? how many people
For goodness sake?
How many people?
How many people?
One too many ...

11. _ The Loveliest Thing
To me you are the loveliest thing i've seen all day
You can't take that away
No, you can't take that away
All my life, i wondered why it couldn't be this way
That was up until today
Oh it had to be this way
Today, wait until the morning comes
Before you slip away
Without permission
Without suspicion
Without permission given
You seem to have a friendlier smile than all the rest
Well i looked and you were best
Yeah i've looked at all the rest
You can't imagine passionate words that i would say
If only you would stay
Oh you know you gotta stay
Today, wait until the morning comes
Before you slip away
Without permission
Without suspicion
Without permission given
You used to be and early bird
But how was i to know you would leave without shedding a tear
I only want to love you
I'll make a wish and suddenly i'm glad that i have you here
Oh i'm glad i have you here
Today
To me you are the loveliest thing i've seen all day
And you can't take that away
No, you can't take that away
All my life, i wondered why it couldn't be this way
That was up until today
Yeah, it had to be this way
Today, wait until the morning comes
Before you slip away, today
Before you slip away
Without permission
Without suspicion
Without permission given to you, ah

12. _ That Day Is Done
I feel such sorrow,
I feel such shame.
I know i won't arrive on time
Before whatever out there is gone.
What can i do, that day is done.
It's just a promise, that i made
I said i'd walk in her parade.
Hot scalding tears i thought would flow.
Still in my heart they'll never show.
That day is done, that day is done,
You know where i've gone, i won't be coming back
That day is done.
Well i recall, the time and place
When they announced her precious face.
I thought at once my heart would burst,
Still, every time is like the first.
There was applause when she stepped up.
I wished that i could interrupt
I made no sign, i made no sound
I know i must stay underground.
That day is done, that day is done.
You know where i've gone,i won't be coming back,
That day is done.
That's why she walks, or so they say.
She always knew just what i needed
Now if she would, just look my way
One time before they proceed.
She sprinkles flowers in the dirt
That's when a thrill becomes a hurt,
I know i'll never see her face.
She walks away from my resting place.
That day is done, that day is done.
You know where i've gone, i won't be coming back,
That day is done.

13. _ Flying To My Home
The sun is fading in the west
Out where the cattle roam
I'm like a bird at the end of the day
Flying to my home
I'm flying to my home sweet majesty
I'm flying to my home
The sky is like a painted flag
Above a sea of chrome
I've got a woman living in my life
Living in my home
I'm flying to my home sweet majesty
I'm flying to my home
I haven't been back for so long
I don't know if i'm going to recognise it
They gave the old place a new face
And i'm going to take some time
To size the situation up
I haven't been back for so long
I don't know if i'm going to recognise it
They gave the old place a new face
And i'm going to take some time
To size the situation up
The sun is fading in the west
Out where the cattle roam
I've got a woman living in my life
Living in my home
I'm flying to my home sweet majesty
I'm flying to my home
I'm flying to my home
I'm flying to my home
I'm flying to my home
I'm flying to my home sweet majesty
I'm flying to my home...

14. _ Don't Be Careless Love
Burn the midnight lamp
Down until the dawn,
I'll keep watch until i'm sure your coming home.
Shadows play and flicker on the bedroom wall
They turn into a bad dream overnight,
Something could be terribly wrong.
Don't be careless love,
Don't be careless love,
Don't be, don't be careless.
In my dream you're running nowhere
Every step you've taken turns to glue,
Walking down a spiral staircase
Failing through, failing through,
Don't be careless love,
Be careless love.
The lamp burns down and out
I'm getting pretty tired of this,
I feel so bad something might be going amiss,
I won't be there so look out for yourself
You're getting in deep whatever you do,
Don't let me go back to sleep,
Don't be careless love,
Don't be careless love,
Don't be, don't be careless.
Saw your face in the morning paper,
Saw your body rolled up in a rug
Chopped up into two little pieces
By some thug,
Don't be careless love,
Be careless love.
But in the morning light
When i wake up again
You're by my side and that's the way it's always been,
But in the dark your mind plays funny tricks on you,
Your mind plays funny tricks on you,
Your mind plays funny tricks on you,
Don't be careless love.

15. _ Motor Of Love Love
I can't get over your love
No matter how hard life seems,
There's a light in my dreams
Thanks to you.
My friends keep asking me why
There's such a smile on my face,
There's a home at my place,
Thanks to you.
I don't want anything from you,
Turn on your motor of love.
Motor of love, motor of love.
Heavenly father look down from above,
I can't get over your powerful
Motor of love.
I can't get over your love
No matter how lost i feel,
I know my love is real,
Thanks to you.
You simply reached out your hand
And touched me deep in my soul,
I came in out of the cold,
Thanks to you.
I won't steal anything from you,
You give me more than enough.
Motor of love, motor of love.
Heavenly father look down from above,
I can't get over your powerful
Motor of love.
There was a time
When i was down and counted out,
Well i remember i felt so bad
I nearly threw away,
Nearly threw away the keys.
Motor of love, motor of love.
Heavenly father look down from above,
Motor of love, motor of love.
Heavenly father look down from above,
I can't get over your powerful
Motor of love.

16. _ Back On My Feet
How many days will the wet weather last?
I want know will the clouds
When they roll back
Reveal a man in an old mac
Living on a park bench
Sitting on his own?
Cut the rain as it runs down the glass
Eventually through the lightning and thunder
We see a man going under
This is how it happens
This is what he said
I don't need love
Though temptation is sweet
Give me your hand
'til i'm back on me feet
You're always telling me about my misery
I've seen things you will never see
Don't pity me
Focus in on the breath of a man
Who takes a brown paper bag
From his knapsack
Between his whispers and wise cracks
He's looking for permission
Screaming at the sky
I don't need love
Though temptation is sweet
Give me your hand
'til i'm back on me feet
You're always telling me about my misery
I've seen things you will never see
Don't pity me
I'll be right again
Be upright without you
I'll stand up again
Kick up a fuss again too
Cut back again to a girl walking by
Until the feet that are all shoes and no socks
Climb an invisible soap box
Laughing at the traffic
Shouting at the world
I don't need love
Though temptation is sweet
Give me your hand
'til i'm back on me feet
You're always telling me about my misery
I've seen things you will never see
Don't pity me
I'll stand up again
Kick up a fuss again too
I'll be right again
Be upright without you
We see a life through the eyes of a man
As he live and he dies
By a simple tattoo
I'll be back again
When i land on my feet
I'll stand up again
Kick up a fuss again, wouldn't you
Well there you go, though we tried hard to know him
It's there on his face
He's a case where there's clearly no hope
Give me your hand again
'til i land again
His face starts to fade
As we pull down the shade
And the picture we made
Is in glorious cinemascope
I'll be back...
