CANDY HEARTS

Let's take a look in the candy shop
Chocolates and lemon drops
All in a row
Find a penny and make a wish
For peppermints or pixie sticks
In all the colors of the rainbow

But you choose
All I want is you
So you choose
'Cause all I want is you

Let's take a walk through the candy shop
Taffy twists and lollipops
I can't say no
Find a penny and make a wish
For jelly beans or licorice
And the sun shines through the window

CHORUS

Let's buy some candy from the candy shop
Wrap it up in a pretty box
And then we'll go
Find a penny and make a wish
For simple things and happiness
The moment's perfect and it shows

CHORUS

All I want is you





FLASHBACK

This is how we did it in the 80's





GREY DAY

Sitting here alone
Watch the people walking by
Faces grey as stone
And the color of the sky
I don't know what they can be thinking
I don't even wonder why
I see more with eyes unblinking
I see more than meets the eye

Standing there once more
Listening to them again
Words are such a bore
Babbling like foreign men
I don't want to know what they're saying
Over and over again
Chanting as if they were praying
Who, what, where and why and when

It's a grey day
A grey day

Standing at the door
Watch the people running by
Words are such a bore
And the color of the sky
I don't even know what they're saying
I don't even wonder why
Chanting as if they were praying
I see more than meets the eye

CHORUS (X2)





I GO U GO

Let's go and take a ride together
The sun is bright and we can drive forever
It doesn't matter where the highway leads
It doesn't mean that much to me
You can tell me your fantasies
It won't feed my jealousy

I go where you go
You go where I go
And we go wherever we go
We go wherever we go
(repeat)

Let's go and sail away together
The sea is wide and we can drift forever
It doesn't matter where the wind may blow
It doesn't mean that much, you know
You can let your feelings show
It won't change our status quo

CHORUS (to end)




MOTH TO FLAME

We had some time together
We loved each other from the start
But as the years went by
It all began to fall apart
We gave it all we could
We gave it more than it could bear
And now my heart is empty
Of the love that once was there

So tell me how
It came about
I don't love you
And you don't love me
It can't go on
If the love is gone
I don't love you
And you don't love me

Though the love we shared was real
It burned too brightly to sustain
And like a silver moth we flew
Into that mesmerizing flame
We gave it all we could
We gave it more than we could bear
And now my heart is empty
Of the pain that once was there

CHORUS

So let me know
The way to go
I don't love you
And you don't love me
There's no telling who
Was the bigger fool
I don't love you
And you don't love me



 

NO ANGEL

Sometimes I lie
If it's life and death
Then I'll stay alive
Sometimes I steal
If it's the only way to get me to heal

I wish
I could
Tell you
All that I should but
You know
All you
Want to

I never claimed to be
An angel
It was plain to see
I never claimed to be
An angel
And you wouldn't want me

Sometimes I cheat
'Cause everybody
Has to compete, but
When push comes to shove
I know I still have your love

TREACLE

CHORUS

You wouldn't want me
To be
An angel





PAWN

Today
Is the day
I walk
I walk away
No sun
No shade
Untouched
And unafraid

The words
Words I say
Unheard
But it doesn't matter anyway
I sit
I stand
I fall
and I land

Yesterday
Was the day
I ran
I ran away
I'm here
I'm gone
I'm the king
And the pawn





PROMISE

I know you're just a man
You do everything you can
Sometimes you take a stand
Sometimes you just play your hand

Don't you listen
Whatever they say
'Cause you can turn it around, now
Turn it around your way
Push the numbers
And wait for the tone
Because you know who to call, now
The voice on the telephone

When your thoughts begin to stray
I promise it's okay
If you find you've lost the way
I promise it's okay

Promises you make to me
Secrets under lock and key
Sometimes we let them be
Sometimes we make them easy to see

Don't you listen
Don't even ask why
'Cause you can turn it around, now
Give them a kiss goodbye
Don't you worry
You're never alone
Because you know what to do, now
Just pick up the telephone

CHORUS

(Don't you listen)
(Pick up the phone, now)
(Promise anything)




RESTORATION

There's always someone needing something
There's always someone needs a home
Too many people live in this city
Too many people live alone
Well, there's got to be a place
To see a smiling face
But we know
We know

We all live in a world of our own creation
We all live in a time of our own design
Is it too late for a restoration?
Or is it time to say goodbye?

Nobody ever wants to be lonely
Nobody wants the pain to show
Some people never have to go hungry
'Cause they reap the grain that others sow
Well, there's got to be a way
To keep the world at bay
But we know
We know

CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS





SWITCH

I've got passion
You want money
I've got things to say
But you don't want to be
Tied to anyone who questions why
I've got sugar
You want honey
I've got things to show
But you don't want to see
Anything to open up your eyes


I don't know if I'm right or wrong
But the answer will come before too long
And maybe I'm singing the same old song
But I always sing it loud and strong

Switch it on
Make a start
Don't give up
Listen to your heart
Switch

I've got fashion
You've got theory
You think I'm a fool
Don't necessarily
Search for everything that I may find
I want diamonds
You pay dearly
I don't think you care about my vanity
This is one thing you cannot deny

I don't know if I'm right or wrong
But the answer will come before too long
And maybe I'm singing the same old song
But I always sing it loud and strong

Switch it on
Make a start
Don't give up
Listen to your heart
Switch

You don't know me
You don't own me




TEACH ME MACHINE

If I see
(I show)
If I ask
(I know)
If I hear
(I speak)
If I hide
(I seek)

Teach me machine
I want to know
Take me, relay me
All over the world
The scene
On screen
Colors aglow
Teach me, my machine
Show me the world

If I turn
(I go)
If I swim
(I flow)
If I write
(I read)
If I search
(I lead)

CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS




WITH YOU

The sun descends on another day
Blue horizon just fades away
And I'm alone with you
Yellow moon in a purple sky
Constellations drifting by
And I'm warm with you

Raindrops glisten on the window pane
Flashing orange of a candle flame
And I'm here with you
Silver planet goes far and wide
But all I need is at my side
When I'm safe and warm with you
With you

I wrote a song today
It's the only way for me to say

This is all that I have, all that I am
So take it with you
All the words that I said, the song in my head
Just take it with you
This is all I can see, all I can be
So take it with you
This is all I can give
As long as I live
Just take it with you

REPEAT



YELLOW AND BLUE MAKE GREEN

(Instrumental)
