"Round & Round"

I just can't help thinking
What you've done to me
You built a wall of love and tore it right down
In front of me
And you think you know what's going on
You keep telling me that I am wrong
I don't care about what you do
'Cause if you mess with me I'll get rid of you

The picture you see is no portrait of me
It's too real to be shown to someone I don't know
And it's driving me wild
It makes me act like a child

You think I am crazy, but what can I do
You waste your time, like my money
It ain't so funny, but it's true
(Don't waste my money, baby)
Now you can't tell me what's going on
And that I am weak while you are strong
What is it you need, that makes your heart bleed
Do you really know? 'Cause it doesn't show

The picture you see is no portrait of me
It's too real to be shown to someone I don't know
And it's driving me wild
It makes me act like a child

The picture you see is no portrait of me
It's too real to be shown to someone I don't know
And it's driving me wild
It makes me act like a child

"Guilty Partner"

Listen to me
I know what I'm saying
But lord it don't come easy
To admit that I was wrong
It took me far too long
I counted on you
To give me a reason
Why the Sun don't shine in the season
Grey sky surrounded me

I'm not some kind of foolish lover
I couldn't take this from no other
You're not being cool with me
'Cause I always know you'll come back to me
Yes, you'll come back to me

'Cause I always know
What it takes to make you my lover

You once said to me
That I was a cruel man
And you know
That I almost believed you
I was blind, and I couldn't see
You took my sight from me

And all of these words
And all this emotion
Can't explain my hopeless devotion
Or change what had to be

I'm not some kind of foolish lover
I couldn't take this from no other
You're not being cool with me
'Cause I always know that you'll come back to me
Yes, you'll come back to me
Yes, you'll come back to me

I'm not some kind of foolish lover
I couldn't take this from no other
You're not being cool with me
'Cause I always know that you'll come back to me
Yes, you'll come back to me

I'm not some kind of foolish lover
I couldn't take this from another
It's no good being cool with me
'Cause I always know
What it takes to make you my lover

"Run"

Answer me
Why won't you answer me
I can't recall the day that I last heard from you
Well you don't get a town like this for nothing
So here's what you've got to do
You work your way to the top of the world
Then you break your life in two

Well what's the use in complaining
When you've got what you don't need
Anyone would think you were hardened too
What do you want me to believe

What the hell is happening
I can't think of everything
I don't know what day it is
Or who I'm talking to

But I know that I'm ok
'Cause you're here with me today
I haven't got a single problem
Now that I'm with you

So what's the use in complaining
When you've got everything you need
Anyone would think you were hardened too
What do you want me to believe

"Mr Disco"

How can I ever forget you
You don't know just what I've been through
The holiday we spent together
Lives with me now and forever

I tried but I can't find you
Tell me now what do I do
I tried but I can't find you
Tell me now what do I do

I can't find my piece of mind
Because I need you with me all of the time
I used to think about you night and day
I used to feel what language cannot say
Oh I can't find you
No I can't find my piece of mind without you

Maybe you'd write me a letter
And tell me why I never met you
Our rendezvous just ended in sorrow
Without you there's no tomorrow

I tried but I can't find you
Tell me now what do I do
I tried but I can't find you
Tell me now what do I do

I can't find my piece of mind
Because I need you with me all of the time
I used to think about you night and day
I didn't care what other people would say
Oh I can't find you
No I can't find my piece of mind without you

I can't find my piece of mind
Because I need you with me all of the time
I used to think about you night and day
I used to feel what language cannot say
Oh I can't find you
No I can't find my piece of mind without you

Ibiza, Majorca, and Benidorm too
I've searched all these places but never found you

"Vanishing Point"

Grow up children, don't you suffer
At the hands of one another
If you like a sleeping demon
Listen can you hear him weeping
Tears of joy and tears of sorrow
He buys love to sell tomorrow

My life ain't no holiday
I've been through the point of no return
I've seen what a man can do
I've seen all the hate of a woman too

Feel your heartbeat lose the rhythm
He can't touch the world we live in
Life is short but love is strong
There lies a hope that I have found
And if you try you'll find it too
Remember why I'm telling you

My life ain't no holiday
I've been through the point of no return
I've seen what a man can do
I've seen all the hate of a woman too

And they gave him away
Like in 'Whistle Down The Wind'
By the look on his face
He never gave in

"Dream Attack"

Nothing in this world
Can touch the music that I heard
When I woke up this morning
It put the Sun into my life
It cut my heartbeat with a knife
It was like no other morning

I don't belong to noone
But I want to be with you
I can't be owned by noone
What am I supposed to do

I can't see the sense in your leaving
All I need is your love to believe in

Don't look into the sun
It's not for me or anyone
To steal the light out of the sky
Is it really such a sin
'Cause if it is then I'll give in
I can't live without your love

I don't belong to noone
But I want to be with you
I can't be owned by noone
What am I supposed to do

I can't see the sense in your leaving
All I need is your love to believe in
And for you I would do what I can
But I can't change the way that I am

"Regret"

Maybe I've forgotten the name and the address
Of everyone I've ever known
It's nothing I regret
Save it for another day
It's the school exam and the kids have run away

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart

I was upset you see
Almost all the time
You used to be a stranger
Now you are mine

I wouldn't even trust you
I've not got much to give
We're dealing in the limits
And we don't know who with
You may think that I'm out of hand
That I'm naive, I'll understand
On this occasion, it's not true
Look at me, I'm not you

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart

I was a short fuse
Burning all the time
You were a complete stranger
Now you are mine

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain about my wounded heart

Just wait till tomorrow
I guess that's what they all say
Just before they fall apart

"World"

I turn sideways to the sun
keep my thoughts from everyone
It's a jungle, I'm a freak
Hear me talk, but never speak

So I'm stepping out of time
because breaking is a crime
And it may all be too late
but I've no passion for this hate

That's the price of love (that's the price of love)
Can you feel it (can you feel it)
If we could buy it now (that's the price of love)
how long would it last (that's the price of love)

And when this building is on fire
these flames can't burn any higher
I turn sideways to the sun
and in a moment I am gone

That's the price of love (that's the price of love)
Can you feel it (can you feel it)
If we could buy it now (that's the price of love)
how long would it last (that's the price of love)

That's the price of love (that's the price of love)
Can you feel it (can you feel it)
If we could buy it now (that's the price of love)
How long would it last (that's the price of love)

"Ruined In A Day"

Listen
I may be wrong but you're missing
There's something wrong you could say
Ruined in a day
You could be the lover of jade
Forever on your own in the shade
Let's do it anyway

Some people like to deceive you
While others may feel that they need you
While I do the best that I can
Keeping my life in my hands

And if you feel
Your cradle rocking
Then take the wheel
Don't let me stop you
(Hang around for awhile)
But stop acting like a child
Every step we take is the one
That's gonna undo what you've done
It could take all day

Some people like to deceive you
While others may feel that they need you
But I do the best that I can
I keep my world in my hands

Some people like to deceive you
while others may feel that they need you
But I do the best that I can
keeping my world in my hands

"Spooky"

Once in a while I need a friend
So why won't you let me recover
It's just a moment in your life
But sometimes we divide each other

Maybe we could find a time
Eliminate what's on your mind
We'd do everything we could
Our presence in the neighbourhood

We could break every rule
Anytime we wanted to
Don't be afraid to live this way
Lets defend the things we say

I want to be up in the air
I could be anywhere
Tell me I'm wrong, at least till tomorrow
Set me free and I will follow

Maybe we could find a time
To elevate what's on your mind
Recreate for me and you
A master plan just for two

We could break every rule
Anytime we wanted to
Don't be afraid to live this way
Lets defend the things we say

Elevate what's on your mind
Eliminate what's on your mind
