A New Decade This Is Music On Your Own So It Goes A Northern Soul Brainstorm Interlude Drive You Home History No Knock On My Door Life's An Ocean Stormy Clouds A NEW DECADE A new decade The radio plays the sounds we've made And everything seems to feel just right Coming through your lonely mind Well I've seen things That scarred and bruised and left me blind So come on, listen along with me I think you need a little company And how long will I run for? Who am I running from? And it makes sense The youth coming up and making you dance Cos I've got something inside of me So come on I could use some company And how long will I run for? Who am I running from? But now I've seen my face on a cardboard wall Nobody comes, nobody calls And how long will I run for? Who am I running from? Teenage tears sting my eyeballs In a town where I wasn't born And I will never suffer So come on, come on, come on But now I see my face in a cardboard wall Nobody comes, nobody calls If you're looking for me I'm there and it's true If your looking for me out there it's true If you're looking for me I'll be looking for you If you're looking for me Then I'm looking for you ... nach oben THIS IS MUSIC I stand accused just like you For being born without a silver spoon Stood at the top of a hill over my town I was found I've been on the shlef too long Sitting at home on my bed too long Got my things and now I've gone How's the world gonna take me? Finding myself used to be hard But now I see the light If love is a drug then I don't need it I've been on the shelf too long Sitting at home in my bed too long Now it's time to hear my song And how you're gonna take me I've been on the shelf too long Been the ways without this song Ever had a way to go? Tell me and I won't take it I've been on the shelf too long I've been on the shelf too long I've been on the shelf too long Come on, come on, come on inside We've got a lot of living to do There's a door in my mind that's open wide Come inside, come inside Jesus never saved me He'll never save you too, and you know I've got a little sticker on the back of my boot (This is music) Finding myself used to be hard, hard Harder then it's ever been And now I see the light shining bright in my eyes If love is the drug then it ain't for me Well music is my life and loved by me I'm gonna move on the floor with my sweet young thing Down down down we go till we reach the bottom Of my soul This is music nach oben ON YOUR OWN Tell me what you've seen Was it a dream? Was I in it? Life seems so obscene until it's over Who knows? All I want is someone Who can fill the hole In the life I know In between life and death When there's nothing left Do you wanna know? You come in on your own and you leave on your own Forget the lovers you've known and your friends on your own Tell me if it's true That I need you You are changing I've seen this road before, down on this floor It is hurting me All I want is someone Who can fill the hole In the life I know In between life and death When there's nothing left Do you wanna know? You come in on your own and you leave on your own Forget the lovers you've known and your friends on your own You come in on your own and you leave on your own Forget the lovers you've known and your friends who have told Lies, gotta get rid of this hole inside Lies, gotta get rid of this hole inside I'm coming in on my own I'm coming in on my own I'm coming in on my own Lies, gotta get rid of this hole inside nach oben SO IT GOES Life, roll my die Change this life You said this movie was mine But now you go and change your mind This is my life So it goes You come in on your own in this life You know you leave on your own Cos I don't need no calls When my feelings fall You showed me things I didn't want to see I don't believe that love is free Sure fine way to treat a man So it goes You come in on your own in this life And you know you leave on your own Life, this is my life So it goes You come in on your own in this life You know you leave on your own Life, this is my life So it goes You come in on your own in this life You know you leave on your own I'm just a poor little wifeless fella ... Another drink and I won't miss her ... nach oben A NORTHERN SOUL This is a tale of a northern soul Looking to find his way back home He's coming from that same old road You know the one your folks don't know I want to see if you know me I was born in a rented room My mother didn't get no flowers Dad didn't approve of me, do you? I'm alive with something inside of me And I don't think I'm coming back So come on come in inside of me Let's spread it all around Give me your powder and pills I want to see if they cure my ills I've no time for love and devotion No time for old fashioned potion I wanna see if you know me Take a look into my eyes I tell you so many lies and then I'll I'll let you go into the night I'm alive with something inside of me And I don't think I'm coming down I'm alive with something inside of me And I can't seem to get it out I'm gonna die alone in bed I'm gonna die alone in bed ... This is a tale of a northern soul Looking for his way back home And my friend said, "Come inside of me And your speakers are telling the truth Coming through and into your room on a river of sound" This is a tale of a northern soul looking for his way back home And if he sees it I know I'll know And If he sees it I know I'll know And there's fighting on the street below I know there's fighting on the street below But I dont' care cos I'm a northern soul And I'm looking for a way back home And I'm looking for a way back home Too busy staying alive ... Too busy living a lie Too busy living my life Too busy staying alive nach oben BRAINSTORM INTERLUDE Coming in... nach oben DRIVE YOU HOME Your face so pale Hasn't see the light for days But on the hill You had no place to say "The skies are all mine And I'm proud to be here But when my lover cries I feel his tears" I was gonna drive you home I was going to tell you who I wanted We came back to the same place We didn't speak just danced in our minds Oh lover I know this ain't what it should be But let me take you home I'll show you what you should see I was gonna drive you home I was gonna tell you who I wanted I was gonna drive you home I'll never change for anyone I know it's there but I just can't see it I know it's there but I can't see it A little light with you and me in it I know it's there but I can't see it I was thinking about the times I could have had And whether they turn out good if they turn out bad I was going to take you home Show you things your lover wouldn't know My angel, my lover, my angel My mind lover, my mind lover She's my mind lover nach oben HISTORY I wandered lonely streets Behind where the old Thames does flow And in every face I meet Reminds me of what I have run from In every man, in every hand In every kiss you understand That living is for other men I hope you do understand I've gotta tell you my tale Of how I loved and how I failed I hope you understand These feelings should not be in the man In every man, in every hand In every kiss you understand That living is for other men I hope you know that I am Come on I'm thinking about history And I'm living for history And I think you know about me cos I am One and one is two but three is company When you're thinking about the things we knew When you're thinking about the things we knew I wanna tell you my tale How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail Do you understand? There's more in a smile than in a hand In every sky, in every kiss There's one thing that you might have missed And why am I going to a place that now belongs to you? But you are weak, and so am I Let's pick it up, let's even try To live today So why not smile, don't dream away your life Cos it is mine It is mine Is that a crime? Is that a crime?

And I never seem to put it out, my love And I'm shaking I'm shaking And I'm shaking nach oben LIFE'S AN OCEAN Life's an ocean Too much commotion Too much emotion Dragging me down Living for today Don't have time to pray Ready for the game Take a line of fickle flame Imagine the future Woke up with a scream I was buying some feelings From a vending machine Say that I will see Something more than I have There's something inside of me Crying out for something else And if someone hears my scream Put it in a letter to me Slippery slidey road down Slippery slidey road down Slippery slidey road down Slippery slidey road down Life's an ocean Too much commotion Not enough emotion To satisfy me Slippery slidey road down It's a slippery slidey road down Hold my hand and we'll walk down Dry those eyes and we'll walk down Slippery slidey road down Slippery slidey road down Life's an ocean Life's an ocean Too much commotion Too much emotion nach oben STORMY CLOUDS I wanted to tell you my story How my life seemed to change in a matter of days The heavens break, I am walking tall How come change always seems to bring the rain?
