Win Your Love (Blune)

I wish I knew the way
To get you hear me say
Cos I just wanna win your love

And all those tears I cry
You keep me standing by
When I just wanna win your love

Am I pinning all my hopes
Already on the ropes
Do you ever show mercy
Am I gonna change my mind
When I find, all the time
That I'm barking up the wrong tree

Or is it yes, if so
When will you let me know
That I'm gonna win your love

I'll take you by the hand
Give you a wedding band
Because I'm gonna win your love
Because I'm gonna win your love
Because I'm a'gonna win your love


Falling (Clarke)

I want your loving, Oh girl I'm such a mess
until I feel your hugging a'chillin' me out
I love your engine hummin'
and I just can't resist you
now I'm falling, falling what can I do?

I want your love
I've been a-waiting for it
here in the dark so long
if I can't get that stuff
my heart could break
'cause I been reading your signals all wrong

I want it, I need it
you've woken up the beast
and I just got to feed it all of your love
but now you know it, I've blown it
I should have played it cool
but I've been falling, falling what could I do?

Don't you want my love
it's been a-waiting for you here in my heart so long
if you won't take that stuff
my heart could break
and then my love would run out and be all gone

you don't want me honey
you only have to say the word
and I'll stop running around after you
it's not so funny, if you're making me the fool
because I'm falling, fallling what can I do?
I'm falling, falling, falling for you

You make me forget myself (Barry)

My movement is honest so watch how I glide
My speech isn’t wicked, have nothing to hide
The way that I see you has never been felt
For you make me forget myself

Don’t keep it all inside
It’s too much for you
Don’t keep it all inside yourself
Share it with me too

I tramped across countries to be at your side
I wore out my shoes but I finally arrived
With the smallest of touches of you I melt
For you make me forget myself

Don’t keep it all inside
It’s too much for you
Don’t keep it all inside yourself
Share it with me too

Find the softest pillow to lay her head upon
Place a kiss upon her cheek and tell her who its from…its from me, its from me

You’re every single lyric in every song that has been sung
And woven threads of beauty weave through every stave and run
You arm my mind and you do not sap my health
For you make me forget myself

Don’t keep it all inside
It’s too much for you
Don’t keep it all inside yourself
Share it with me too

Bus Stop Bust Up (Blune/Clarke)

Never knew I was in love with you
until the day that you said goodbye
its been so long since you've been gone
still I can miss you if I try

I couldnt see how much you meant to me
I didnt know you were so pure of heart
until the time you were no longer mine
until the night that we broke apart

you were standing at the bus stop
standing with your bags packed ready to leave
this is something that you cant stop baby
wont you walk right back to me

such a shame that you had to go
shame you will never know
shame that you had to go
now we will never know

there was something of a bust up
standing at the bus stop ready to leave
now you tell me that you cant stop thinking
that you might do better with Steve

such a shame that you had to go
I couldnt see how much you meant to me
shame you will never know
I didnt know you were so pure of heart
shame that you had to go
now we will never know
until the night that we broke apart

Never knew I was in love with you


Strength of Fools (Clarke)

Hold them up to the light
the sun shines through
they can make whats wrong seem right
lend a lie some truth
they can borrow new ideas
they can build them up just to let you down
do you what they are?

They may appear so sweet
yet leave a taste that sours
bring joy one precious moment
leave a pain to burn for hours
there's danger in their beauty
their siren call is irresistable
there lies their saving grace

they'll bring you, in disguise
chimera to dance with your soul
tear out your hopeful heart
a cruel joke, a passing hope
you reach out but you'll never hold
you'll never get that far

the innocents don't last too long
but still we have to carry on
as though the good times are not really gone
the dreaming still goes on

In them there is no trust
in them you'll find no truth
believe them if you must
blind faith..... the strength of fools
some people wont be told
you know they have to learn the hard way
some never learn

they want to keep believing
sometimes it's easier that way
well I dont know if thats true
some say that life without their falsehood
would turn a darker shade of grey
who knows the answer anyway?
they are illusion

the innocents don't last too long
but still we have to carry on
as though the good times are not really gone
the dreaming still goes on

I want to stick a flag in you (Barry)

Monday morning hurts my eyes on Tuesday it burns by Wednesday it blinds,
does it hurt you when the weekend dies
I have to crank my arms to write my own name in the alive of night,
do you do the same or do you cheat and type
For if I ever had to drink in your memory it would make me sink,
it would be hard to fight and I’d be up all night
So could we plan a meeting where, we meet by chance in park or fair
even in a playground or swinging chair

Cos I would wilt with you but you never asked me to
I want to stick a flag in you and claim you for me
I’d give up all I had, everything I could understand
You could even drain my life as long as I was free

So would you come, come with me in to the centre of a magazine,
oh we’d be clean if it came to routine
Would you like to ring me sometime with your legs wide open use that finger to dial,
I’ve rang you in dirty style

Cos I would wilt with you but you never asked me to
I want to stick a flag in you and claim you for me
I’d give up all I had, everything I could understand
You could even drain my life as long as I was free

You are only deaf when it suits you if I have to repeat myself I guess I’ll have to shoot you,
if you want to hear then use your ears
I’m in love with the crazy paving that leads to your heart its that path I’m craving,
call me a path call me a psychopath

Cos I would wilt with you but you never asked me to
I want to stick a flag in you and claim you for me
I’d give up all I had, everything I could understand
You could even drain my life as long as I was free

So Good For Me (Clarke)

Just like a fool on a hill
watching the world go by
I'd given up on love
yeah that's behind me
'cause love had given up on me
and I found a place to hide
it's a wonder you were able to find me

So I'm drinking in the shadows
feeling sorry for myself
throwing pennies at reflections
deep inside a wishing well
Suddenly you're there swaying gently
hypnotising and you tell me
thats all over, feeling that way

Then you come waltzing through my soul
on a therapeutic stroll
putting patches on the holes
that were left there long ago
wherever you learned to walk that way
I could stand you stepping out all day
You're so good for me sometimes.....

So with my heart on your sleeve
and your hand in my head
you took me and you made me your lover
good sense took its leave
do you remember you said
"believe me there could be no other"

As if in a dream where you know you have to wake up in the end
so hard to believe this is happening
but if it's real then there has to be a catch
well that's the way it always has been

Then you come waltzing through my soul
on a therapeutic stroll
putting patches on the holes
that were left there long ago
wherever you learned to walk that way
I could stand you stepping out all day
You're so good for me sometimes.....

Your so good for me, I could almost believe it's true
You're so good for me, sometimes

Then you come take me by the hand
and you tell me that I am
an extraordinary man
Please tell me once again, because
whatever it is makes you feel that way
I could listen to that kind of stuff all day

You're so good for me
I could almost believe it's true
You're so good for me
You're so good for me


Never Found My Way (Blune)

Early one fine morning I left my home
went out to face this world alone
for she had turned my heart to stone
and I never found my way back home

never found my way back home
although times a stream and it wears away the stone
well the love that I carried
became a mighty load
but I never found my way back home

never found my way back home
and the question is were you mine or his
or the mans that you married
well I chose the open road
and I never found my way back home

Here I am Here I am
Here we go again
standing at the station
waiting for a train
and all the things that you said
are streaming round my brain
and I never found my way back home

never found my way back home
let her go let her tarry
cos I'm walking down the road
and I never found my way back home


I.D Colour (Barry)

Yellow as ochre green as a smile, teach these new ones we’re old in style, no less days to sing their praises
Completely happy till the end of the glass I’m taught with my thoughts high the coloured class and our lives that run are closer than some I’d say

And one day we’ll all be the same colour
Once we’ve all mated with each other

Minors and majors twitch and sing I’ve swam the tide that moves me it’s a moving thing but the greatest wave to crush us is yet to wash us away
Upon the coastline of your heart I blinked my life away for you from the start but I can’t quake with the love I make with you-its true

And one day we’ll all be the same colour
Once we’ve all mated with each other

And one day we’ll all be the same colour
Once we’ve all mated with each other

Wasn't The One (Blune)

Nobody knows like I do
Nobody else can see
I wasn't the one for her
She was the one for me

Who's to say what we'd have done
No telling where we might be
I wasn't the one for her
She was the one for me

When I found out in the morning
That she'd made up her mind not to stay
Never gave me any warning
Couldn't find any words I could say

Been in and out of love
I know which one I prefer
She was the one for me
I wasn't the one for her


Hatter (Barry)

Keep your hands where I can see them I don't trust you at all
and if you look at the clock again i'll tear it off the wall
Its certainly come to a pretty pass if you prefer to be alone
What the hell am I doing here if you want to be on your own

If I wrote down our conversation it would fit on a raffle ticket
If I wrote it on a postage stamp then I would ask you to lick it
but you wouldn't do that no you wouldn't do that no you wouldn't do that for me
You wouldn't lay a hand upon my shoulder or sit upon my knee

I don't really like you in the way that you might think
I would take you upstairs to bed but go back down and drink
And perhaps if you dropped off to sleep you would give me a thought
of a man who loved you more than life and the lessons it has taught

So laugh like a hatter if you like, wear an aqualung and ride a pike
polish your teeth with a horse hair brush
Lie in a bed of scorpion tails, wash your body in pig entrails
whatever you do I won't blush
Dissect your future with me in mind, scrub your face with bacon rind
confuse yourself by spitting blood
Make love to a tramp with him on top, cleanse your mouth with drip tray slops
whatever you do you're understood
Fly with moths round an old light bulb, drink your own weight from the juice of plums
why not holiday a weekend in Rhyl
If you make a mistake then cough and splutter, if you have that kind of sex
then use some butter, have a one night stand and do not take the pill

Shout to a race that's coloured and abused, think what you'd say, be careful and choose
break your own heart and kill your lover
Be careful of the thorn that pricks your finger, the only sure thing is that death will linger
and after you it'll wait for another

So I don't really like you in the way that you might think
I would take you upstairs to bed but go back down and drink
And perhaps if you dropped off to sleep you would give me a thought
of a man who loved you more than life and the lessons it has taught


High Place (Clarke)

Thought i'd found my way
Found i'd lost my mind
Saw the light of day
When really I was blind
dont send me to a doctor
I just need to sing
Dont give me a placebo
I need the real thing

Told me of an all night party
asked me if i'd come
I just went along there for the ride
now I know I should have run

endless scenes of might have beens parade around my head
all the things we never did words we never said
You took me to a high place
god only know what I was thinking
you took me to a high place
to let you give me hope to start believing
you took me to a high place
You gave me thirst and I was drinking
the air was clear and I was breathing

To mend what has been broken
Could take a bit of time
I'm, just a little shell shocked
after fallling from so high
I need to find some answers
Well maybe so do you
we try and try again
tell me what else can we do?

Just when I thought I was in control
you came and swept me off my feet
and if I live so long that I grow old
I'll never take a breath so sweet
so don't you be at all surprised and don't you wonder why
If I act a little strange at times
Just walk on by
The feelings that you never found
the thoughts we never shared
they're only mine
as all the time
you never really cared

You took me to a high place
you had a rope around my neck when we jumped
just when I thought I was in the frame
you turned the picture back to front
all the things we never did
and words we never said
the feelings that you never found
the thoughs we never shared

You took me to a high place
God only knows what I was thinking
You took me to a high place
there is no hope left to believe in
there is no water safe for drinking
without air there is no breathing

You took me to a high place
