Why should we wait. Why don't we ask some friends around. They can help us play this game we've found. Hey let's bring everybody down. Will we ever be ready for what we're heading for. Here we stand like a couple of fools. And the RACE is on. Hand in hand as we break the rules. And the race is on. What's the cost to the one who's lost. When the race goes wrong. You may say why begin when we both can't win. But the race goes on. Hand in hand like a couple of fools And the race is on. Well surprise surprise a few more lies. Or do we simply call them alibis. This life we lead ain't fooling either one of us: Oh and while we're having so much fun let's not forget The lonely ones. Slowly falling out of love. This game we play can be so rough Now maybe we've gone far enough. But are you sure you know what we're heading for. Here we stand... |

Perhaps love - John Denver
only registered users can see external links Perhaps love is like a resting place A shelter from the storm It exists to give you comfort It is there to keep you warm And in those times of trouble When you are most alone The memory of love will bring you home Perhaps love is like a window Perhaps an open door It invites you to come closer It wants to show you more And even if you lose yourself And don't know what to do The memory of love will see you through Oh, love to some is like a cloud To some as strong as steel For some a way of living For some a way to feel And some say love is holding on And some say letting go And some say love is everything And some say they don't know Perhaps love is like the ocean Full of conflict, FULL of pain Like a fire when it's cold outside Or thunder when it rains If I should live forever And all my dreams come true My memories of love will be of you And some say love is holding on And some say letting go And some say love is everything And some say they don't know Perhaps love is like the ocean Full of conflict, full of pain Like a fire when it's cold outside Or thunder when it rains If I should live forever And all my dreams come true My memories of love will be of you |

Green green grass of home - Tom Jones
only registered users can see external links The old home town looks the same As I step down from the train, And there to meet me is my Mama and Papa. Down the road I look and there runs Mary, Hair of gold and lips like cherries. It's good to touch the green, green grass of home. Yes, they'll all come to meet me, Arms reaching, smiling sweetly. It's good to touch the green, green, grass of home. The old house is still standing, Though the paint is cracked and dry, And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on. Down the LANE I walk with my sweet Mary, Hair of gold and lips like cherries. It's good to touch the green, green grass of home. Then I awake and look around me At four grey walls that surround me, And I realize: yes, I was only dreaming. For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre. On and on, we'll walk at daybreak. Again I'll touch the green, green grass of home. Yes, they'll all come to see me In the shade of that old oak tree As they lay me neath the green, green grass of home. |

Can I tell you now As you turn to go I'll be dying slowly 'til the next hello But if you stay I'll make you a night Like no night has been Or will be again I'll sail on your smile I'll glide on your touch I'll talk to your eyes That I love so much But if you go I won't cry Though the good is gone From the word goodbye If you go away As I know you must There'll be nothing left In this world to trust Just an empty room Full of empty space Like the empty look I see on your face And I'd have been the SHADOW Of your shadow If it might have kept me By your |

When you walk in the room - Agnetha Falkstog
only registered users can see external links I can feel a new expression on my face I can feel a glowing sensation taking place I can hear the guitar playin' lovely tunes Every time that you walk in the room I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you want Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant I feel a summer's night with a magic moon Every time that you walk in the ROOM Baby it's a dream come true (dream come true) Standin' right alongside of you Wish I could show you how much I care But I only have the nerve to stand and stare I can feel a something pounding in my brain Just anytime that someone speaks your name Oh, the trumpets sounds and I hear thunder boom Every time that you walk in the room Every time that you walk in the room Every time that you walk in the room |
A little time - The Beautiful South

Promises, promises turn to dust Wedding bells just turn to rust Trust into mistrust I need a little ROOM to find myself I need a little space to work it out I need a little room all alone I need a little You need a little room for your big head, don't you, don't you? You need a little space for a thousand beds, won't you, won't you? Lips that promise, fear the worst Tongue so sharp, the bubble burst Just into unjust I've had a little time to find the truth Now I've had a little room to check what's wrong I've had a little time, and I still love you I've had a little You had a little time and you had a little fun, didn't ya, didn't you? While you had yours, do you think I had none, do you, do ya? The freedom that you wanted bad Is yours for good, I hope you're glad Sad into unsad I had a little time to think it over Had a little room to work it out I found a little courage to call it off I've had a little time I've had a little time I've had a little time I've had a little time |

Only when I sleep - The Corrs

Stop, stop, stop - The Hollies
only registered users can see external links See the girl with cymbals on her fingers Entering through the door Ruby glistening from her navel Shimmering around the floor Bells on feet go ting a-ling a-linging Going through my head Sweat is falling just-a-like-a tear drops Running from her head Now she's dancing, going through the movements Swaying to and fro Body moving, bringing back a memory Thoughts of long ago Blood is rushing, temperature is rising Sweating from my brow Like a snake, her body fascinates me I can't look away now Stop, stop, stop all the dancing Give me time to BREATHE Stop, stop, stop all the dancing Or I'll have to leave Now, she's moving all around the tables Luring all in sight But I know that she cannot see me Hidden by the light Closer, closer, she is getting nearer Soon she'll be in reach As I enter into a spotlight She stands lost for speech Stop, stop, stop all the dancing Give me time to breathe Stop, stop, stop all the dancing Or I'll have to leave Stop, stop, stop all the dancing Give me time to breathe Stop, stop, stop all the dancing Or I'll have to leave Now I hold her, people are staring Don't know what to think And we struggle knocking over tables Spilling all the drinks Can't they understand that I want her? Happens every week Heavy hand upon my collar Throws me in the street Stop, stop, stop all the dancing Give me time to breathe Stop, stop, stop all the dancing Or I'll have to leave |
