"More Than Love"

   
Every morning takes a chance, it might not come around
So it's maybe coming later
A preacher man on my t.v.
Says he's got the streets for me
And prays you write the letter
Heavenly father tell me how it's gonna be
So that I can try to make it better
Restless bars, you and I suppose they are
For blowing it all away
That's why I say

It takes more than love to get it on
You know it takes more than strength to carry on
It takes more than words to get it wrong
It takes more than love to get it on

Making us crazy, burnin' our bridges
Taking them out one at a time
Goodbyes you know don't come easy
Did you wanna go, for the thrill of it all
Why d'you wanna go cause you had no reason
For blowin' it all away

It takes more than love to get it on
You know it takes more than strength to carry on
It takes more than words to get it wrong
It takes more than love to get it on

Ships are sailing and you know your aim is true
The figureheads have broken in your mind
You paint yourself a picture, and it turns to black and white
And settle with the people one more time

It takes more than love to get it on
You know it takes more than strength to carry on
It takes more than words to get it wrong
It takes more than love to get it on

"Lip Service"

   
Ain't got enough, so I go out and get some more
It got so bad it nearly left me lying on the floor
I started thinking that it's wearing on my soul
But I got to get it getting tonight

Raindrops keep fallin' on my window - pain!
They make my company
I can hear them knocking on my door
Now, should I let them in?

When I look at the faces baby
You see how the other side dies
I've got to - got to - got to
Let them come on in

Your lip service getting
Right out of order
Better keep looking
Or I'll blow my cover

She'll get caught by big sister midnight
I've been only telling stories
You will only tell me lies

I get the picture cause you never got my soul!
I get it, handed back, it turns into a tray of gold
That's just a victim of the promises you told
I sit and count the cost of living tonight

Bottle the past and number the label
Drink to the future, girl be ready and able
Get a grip with a new fixation
And take them all and let them all in

When I look at their faces baby
I see how the other side dies
I got to - got to - got to
Let them all come in

Should I let them (all come in)
Lies

"Put The Light On"

   
He sits alone in a crowded station
And lights his cigarette
The light flickers slightly
And tells him politely
His life's not at it's best

She weighs him up 'cos his love's taken lightly
And love's her only regret
But love's not a sin in her eyes
And she's asking him why -
Why are you leaving
I just can't say
Why are you leaving
He don't know daddy's gonna stay

Put a little light in her darkest day
So she can see it
Put a little love in her heart on the way
So she can feel it

He walks home with his pride in his pocket
And pulls it out with his change
And his love is something and it just turned into nothing
Now isn't that strange

She holds her head high close to the bright sky
He's got his head in the clouds
But love's not a sin in her eyes
And he's telling her why -
Why are you leaving
I just can't say
Why are you leaving
He don't know daddy's gonna stay

Put a little light in her darkest day
So she can see it
Put a little love in her heart on the way
So she can feel it

"High On The Happy Side"

   
Everything seemed the same tonite
And then the moon went out
In the middle of the sky
And the rain goin' up again
Let it all come down, let it all come down
You wanna hear how the story goes
You wanna see how you're never told
Where lies this fool's gold

Everytime that you say goodbye, I sit and wonder why
Why all this happiness, now there's nothing goin' on
Everytime that you say goodbye, I'll sit and I'll get high
High on the happy side again

I hear the songs on the radio
But they don't turn me on
I hear the world's been shakin' up again
And the deals been done, and the storm it has begun
You wanna hear how the story goes
You wanna see but you're never told
Where lies this fools gold

"Maybe Tomorrow"

   
She's getting out of control
She's takin' my soul
And won't let it go

I'm going out of my mind
She's wastin' my time
But I won't let it show
No no
You want it all
You got it all
You want it all
Just so you can have it
And baby I'm sending you a line

Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tonight
Baby it's always
Clean out of sight

She thinks I'm digging her scene
I'm breaking it clean
So I ought to let her know
I'm holding out my hand
Losing touch with each and every caress
Love 'n' bitterness

"Goodnight Girl"

   
You can hear me so clearly
And see how I try
You feel me, so heal me
And tear me apart

I won't tell a soul
I won't tell at all
Do they have to know
About my goodnight girl

Caught up in your wishin' well
You hopes and sadness
Take your love 'n' promises
And make them last

You keep me so near you
And see me so far
And hold me and send me
And deep in your heart

It doesn't matter how sad
I made you
Doesn't matter how hard
I try

Just remember the same
Old reason
Reflected in your eyes
You said you wanted me

Caught up in your wishin' well
Your hopes and sadness
Take your love 'n' promises
And make them last

"Celebration"

   
Modern love
It's a funny thing
It's full of diamonds
And a pretty ring
But it's gonna get me
Oh it's gonna get me
Get me so down

Summer loving
Makes me freeze
It leaves me standing
In a cold, cold breeze
So I'm gonna get me
Get me outa town and stop wasting time

Everytime I look into her eyes
They're filled with such emotion
They're filled with such emotion
I don't want to keep on waiting starting my own celebration

Sisters loving
It's a strong, strong thing
It's never ending
And I don't need no diamond ring
But it won't leave them
In a cold cold time
These are difficult times to be celebrating

"Make It Tonight"

   
He let the world right in
So let this tale begin
He spoke it out loud and clear
Then he shelved another frozen tear
Then he spoke it out loud and clear
But the pain got in

He always runs behind
He's only running blind
From the hurt that
Your heart's not worth healing

Come on and make it tonight
Come on this world's not so bright
Come on and make it tonight

He looks at the papers the grooves been jammed
Look at the world gettin' off
On a rhythm that just hits him out of time
Easy in the mornin' he says it's easier at night
Keeps his secrets clothed in white
Wrapped so tight it's gonna blow his mind

Come on and make it tonight
Come on this world's no so bright
Come on and make it tonight

Look up every time I feel like looking down
I look down every time you wear that pretty gown
I look up every time I look around
But remember we always said
It's be easy on the way

Come on and make it tonight
Come on this world's not so bright
Come on and make it tonight

"How Long"

   
Hey there mr. taxi driver
Take me to the station
I've been around for too long

You said I lack understanding
That I don't know right from wrong
But oh no

There's a road that a man has to take
There's a road and it's filled with my mistakes
Ooh baby! don't misunderstand me

How long will it take
How long can you wait
Tell me how long
When we are living in a world
Of loves imagination

Senorita plays for the people who bother
Outside those old department stores
She's singing out loud for no reason
About a travelling man she's been hanging around
But oh no

There's a road that a man has to take
There's a road and it's filled with my mistakes
Ooh baby, don't you misunderstand me

How long will it take
How long can you wait
Tell me how long
When we are living in a world
Of loves imagination

So I should beg for some forgiveness
Borrowed time
'cause someone else can wait that long again
If only you'll be leavin'
Tell me just ...
How long
