you will always swim for shore
once in my lifetime
i'll never be in between
some things you just can't ignore

now reach out
you can touch me
i'll let you have my life to share
years, the days
and the minutes
yeh time has such a puzzling grace

understand that it is hard to tell you
that i've given all i have to give
and i can understand your feelings
but then everybody has a life to live

once in a lifetime
you have seen what i've seen
you will always swim for shore
once in my lifetime
i'll never be in between
some things you just can't ignore

once in a lifetime
you have seen what i've seen
you will always swim for shore
once in my lifetime
i'll never be in between
some things you just can't ignore

i just need to have your love
i just can't say no
it's a gift from way above
i just can't say no
it's the one big difference
if there's one thing i can have
i just can't say no
i just can't say no
yeh yeh yeh

once in a lifetime
you have seen what i've seen
you will always swim for shore
once in my lifetime
i'll never be in between
some things you just can't ignore

tell me the answer

i doesn't feel right
the lights are too bright
i'm feeling uptight in my sensual world
i need to be you
i need to breathe too
i need to see through life
with these sensitive words

i could blame it on you
i could blame it on my instincts
i could blame it on the train to the plane
the boat to the shore
so tell me what's the answer

no trouble in my face
there's not one anxious voice
you know i can't listen
i can't listen
you say that you are everything
do you taste good
so c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

no air around me
i need to feel free
i'm private property
in my sensual world
no indecisions
i have a vision
there's no collision there
with these sensitive words

i could blame it on you
i could blame it on my instincts
i could blame it on the train to the plane
the boat to the shore
so tell me what's the answer

no trouble in my face
there's not one anxious voice
you know i can't listen
i can't listen
you say that you are everything
do you taste good
so c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

no trouble in my face
there's not one anxious voice
you know i can't listen
i can't listen
you say that you are everything
do you taste good
so c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

summer son

i'm tired of telling the story
tired of telling it your way
yeh i know what i saw
i know that i found the floor

before you take my heart, reconsider
before you take my heart, reconsider
i've opened the door
i've opened the door

here comes the summer's son
he burns my skin
i ache again
i'm over you

i thought i had a dream to hold
maybe that has gone
your hands reach out and touch me still
but this feels so wrong

before you take my heart, reconsider
before you take my heart, reconsider
i've opened the door
i've opened the door

here comes the summer's son
he burns my skin
i ache again
i'm over you

before you take my heart, reconsider
before you take my heart, reconsider
i've opened the door
i've opened the door

here comes the summer's son
he burns my skin
i ache again
i'm over you

here comes the winter's rain
to cleanse my skin
i wake again
i'm over you

here comes the summer's son
he burns my skin
i ache again
i'm over you

here comes the winter's rain
to cleanse my skin
i wake again
i'm over you

i'm over you

sunday afternoon

i can think of better days
as i look into your eyes
and i feel that in a way
i know that you'll be alright

and he walks for a mile
it's his style
baby never acts wild
feels he's invencible
he walks for a while
but i never ask why
he needs his time in isolation

it's your views
on your groove
on a sunday afternoon
paint it slow
then you'll know
what you need to work out soon

i'm gonna whisper in your ear
i've a lot of things to say to you
i'll give you all my universe
you're all i want and that's for sure

and he walks for a mile
it's his style
baby never acts wild
feels he's invencible
he walks for a while
but i never ask why
he needs his time in isolation

it's your views
on your groove
on a sunday afternoon
paint it slow
then you'll know
what you need to work out soon

it's your views
on your groove
on a sunday afternoon
paint it slow
then you'll know
what you need to work out soon

in your darkest hour
take my hand and i'll show you
understand it much better
i'll make sure you get there

it's your views
on your groove
on a sunday afternoon
paint it slow
then you'll know
what you need to work out soon

it's your views
on your groove
on a sunday afternoon

what you need to work out soon

move in

move in, move in
move in, watch me move in

invite me to a party
hang some colour on the walls
it makes me feel like eighteen
i'm gonna change things for us all

sooner or later the music goes
i see a trace of sweat on your face

move in, move in
remember now the times we had
move in, watch me move in
remember now the times we had

our world's turned round but that's okay
yet, things still look the same
people dancing so much
keep it pushing come what may

sooner or later the music goes
i see a trace of sweat on your face

move in, move in
remember now the times we had
move in, watch me move in
remember now the times we had

i see the lights are low now
but still the faces glow
a year that's full of zeros
yet who knows what that holds

sooner or later the music goes
i see a trace of sweat on your face

move in, move in
remember now the times we had
move in, watch me move in
remember now the times we had

move in, move in
remember now the times we had
move in, watch me move in
remember now the times we had

move in, move in
remember now the times we had
move in, watch me move in
remember now the times we had

lead on
oh the music goes
and i feel it pushing on, baby
i feel it's pushing
push against me
please, stop
i feel the music
inside me

when we are together

oh, i remember you said can i fight and breathe
so now i always, always hold my breath you see
you're my heaven, you're my spaceman in your shiny shiny suit
i'll send up all my prayers and hope they're understood

love started making sense
i always make mistakes at my expense
love has placed a seed
and you're the sun that shines down upon me

yeh when we are together
and when we are apart
there is no space in our hearts
i've got these feelings

it's been too long since i've tried to take the time
so now i'm fallin', fallin' into the sublime
when you brush against a stranger
and you both apologise
and when you see there's something you recognise

love started making sense
i always make mistakes at my expense
love has placed a seed
and you're the sun that shines down upon me

yeh when we are together
and when we are apart
there is no space in our hearts
i've got these feelings

yeh when we are together
and when we are apart
there is no space in our hearts
i've got these feelings

yeh when we are together
and when we are apart
there is no space in our hearts
i've got these feelings

yeh when we are together
and when we are apart
there is no space in our hearts
i've got these feelings

yeh when we are together
and when we are apart
there is no space in our hearts
i've got these feelings

day after day

one day i'll have to face the truth
i will
i know i'll find it hard to wake up
and say these words to you

so did the days drag on for you
was i gone for too long
there's something changing in me
i've got to show it
got to show you

cause day after day without you
i find that there's no one to turn to
all this madness that i've found
i'm so thankful when you're around
it's true, yes i do

in every place i'll face a world
of strangers
we'll talk and laugh about the good times
we had together

so did the days drag on for you
was i gone for too long
there's something changing in me
i've got to show it
got to show you

cause day after day without you
i find that there's no one to turn to
all this madness that i've found
i'm so thankful when you're around

cause day after day without you
i find that there's no one to turn to
all this madness that i've found
i'm so thankful when you're around
it's true, yes i do

there are times when i see you
there are times when i'm mad
when i wake you disappear
that's what i always find so hard

cause day after day without you
i find that there's no one to turn to
all this madness that i've found
i'm so thankful when you're around

cause day after day without you
i find that there's no one to turn to
all this madness that i've found
i'm so thankful when you're around
it's true, yes i do

protect all mothers for they lay in the path
i can deal with the lovers
always dealt with dreams
but i've never known what reality means

i've waited for
i feel so good about you

you are always on my lookout
sing what you are all about
just think, you've got the power
girl, you've got the power

lay me down to the right side
tie me up till it feels fine
you know the uses and you've no compromise
put it down with the two time
i always know when it feels right
i will if you will, i'm just taking my time

cause you're the sweetest thing
i've waited for

the hush

i'm a long long way from yesterday
and with time my ideals change
i want to spend all of my time
the way that it should be spent

road maps here of 20 towns
flights a faithless place
i eat another milk bar down
yawn and wash my face

you know you're nervous when you see me sway
too much time by yourself
you know you always seem to back away
don't hide within yourself

there's a certain hill i want to climb
like tar bubbles on the path
when they all pop up in summertime
forever my climb will last

road maps here of 20 towns
flights a faithless place
i eat another milk bar down
yawn and wash my face

you know you're nervous when you see me sway
too much time by yourself
you know you always seem to back away
don't hide within yourself

hush hush shhh
hush hush shhh
hush hush shhh
hush hush shhh

you know you're nervous when you see me sway
too much time by yourself
you know you always seem to back away
don't hide within yourself

the day before i went away

i tried to tell you that on monday
the day before i went away
i was always there when you were coming down
i had to take some time
take some time

you know i'm needing you for so much pleasure
i'm always wanting you to take me there
i need to be the one to tell you that you're on the right road
and how some time alone is only fair

you know i'm renowned
and feel it's a lonely time i've had
but it never felt that bad

i tried to tell you that on monday
the day before i went away
i was always there when you were coming down
you never took the time
took the time

i wish you'd known me when i was much younger
as i closed my eyes upon the world
but now an open mind which seems much stronger
a perfect doubting of your every word

you know i'm renowned
and feel it's a lonely time i've had
but it never felt that bad

i tried to tell you that on monday
the day before i went away
i was always there when you were coming down
you never took the time
took the time

c'mon c'mon
c'mon c'mon
c'mon c'mon
c'mon c'mon

you know i'm renowned
for the lonely time i've had
but it never felt that bad

i tried to tell you that on monday
the day before i went away
i was always there when you were coming down
you never took the time
took the time

i tried to tell you that on monday
the day before i went away
i was always there when you were coming down
you never took the time
took the time

never took the time
never took the time
never took the time
to stop me
i always wanted you to stop me
you never took the time
