Don't Look Down

How much longer ‘til the 

curtain rises ? 

First night stage fright 

always hypnotizes 

Leading ladies never think about it 

Live without it 

Try to hide your fear of falling 

Keep your eyes on me…I’m calling 

  

Don’t look down girl 

You know you’re holding aces 

Don’t look down girl 

Don’t give the game away 

  

One more heartbeat and you 

walk the wire 

Why wait? It’s too late to 

put out the fire 

Almost strangers …can you 

stop deceiving 

Start believing 

Try to hide your fear of falling 

Keep your eyes on me…I’m calling 

  

Even when you feel you can’t go on 

Laughing at the rain you fool no one 

If you don’t want to lose what you 

have found 

Then don’t look down 

  

Changing partners is just substitution 

It’s no solution 

Try to hide your fear of falling 

Keep your eyes on me… I’m calling 

S.O.S

Watching your window 

Across the street we share 

Eyes on your shadow 

You are unaware…unaware 

  

Picture a stranger 

Footsteps in gaberdine 

You sense the danger 

Something unforeseen 

Burning fires on your shore 

Never opened any door 

  

I’m wasting my time 

You don’t hear my S.O.S. 

The perfect crime 

To answer your S.O.S. 

  

Leave you in silence 

Change my identity 

Second appearance 

I will set you free 

Burning fires on your shore 

Never opened any door 

  

Watching your window 

Across the street we share 

Eyes on your shadow 

You are unaware 

Burning fires on your shore 

Never opened any door

Eye To Eye

Maybe it’s the wrong time 

But when is the right time to say I lied? 

I’ve been keeping secrets 

Could this be the last time 

we say goodbye? 

  

(Here we are…) 

Eye to eye…no conversation 

You know what I’m going to say 

Eye to eye it’s a sad situation 

Girl…have I thrown it away? 

  

I was missing you, missing you 

I needed someone to comfort me 

When you closed the door baby 

How could I know that I still 

had the key? 

  

Your love…never thought that I 

would lose it 

My love…won’t you tell me what it 

takes to prove it? 

All I want is your love 

  

It’s all up to you girl 

I just couldn’t keep it to myself 

She was nothing to me 

And you know in your heart 

I don’t want anyone else  

Goodbye Girl

Footsteps echo on familiar streets 

Crossing bridges never burned 

I am tired of playing hide and seek 

Is this all that I have learned? 

  

Looking for a diamond in the dark 

I was sure you were the one 

You held me spellbound while you

 made your mark 

Now the damage has been done 

  

Goodbye Girl 

It’s a game we play every time we say 

Goodbye Girl 

You hypnotize…I can’t say goodbye 

  

I’m afraid when I turn out the light 

Words you say while you’re asleep 

Where you were and what you 

did last night 

Those are secrets you can keep 

  

Tied to you blood on the wire 

Don’t you know you push me much too far… 

Just who do you think you are? 

I can’t escape…must all roads lead to Rome? 

Every time I say goodbye 

You hypnotize… 

  

Footsteps echo on familiar streets 

Crossing bridges never burned 

I am tired of playing hide and seek 

Is this all that I have learned? 

I Want To Hear It From You

There’s a rumour I have heard 

That it’s over – That’s the word 

You have found somebody new 

Now I need 

To hear you say it’s not true 

  

I call you up on the phone 

No reply – No one home 

On my own and out of touch 

I want to talk to you 

I think you owe me that much 

  

I want to hear it from you 

(Time to showdown) 

I want to hear it from you 

(Here’s the lowdown) 

I want to hear you say 

So long, baby, goodbye 

  

There’s a smile on your face 

But your eyes give you away 

If I’m wasting precious time 

Why don’t you play your hand 

Is this the end of the line? 

  

Years from now 

You will remember 

Someday you’ll feel like I do 

Someone will twist the knife in you 

  

In your hunger to be free 

You have made a fool of me 

I can take the letting go 

But it hurts to find 

That I’m the last to know 

  

There’s a rumour I have heard 

That it’s over – That’s the word 

You have found somebody new 

Now I need 

To hear you say it’s not true 

Faithful

Don’t cry baby 

Kiss me and say farewell 

Nothing’s going to break this spell 

And if you’re thinking time will tell 

I want you to know.. 

  

Every minute of every single day 

Even when I’m miles away 

I’ll keep the promises I made 

I want you to know… 

  

I will be faithful to my lover’s prayer 

Faithful- and I don’t care 

If the world around us gives up on love 

I will make you see 

You can count on me 

I will be faithful- 

Faithful to my lover’s prayer 

  

Listen baby 

You can lean on me 

Though we sail on stormy seas 

Nothing good comes easily 

And I won’t let you down.. 

  

I will be faithful to my lover’s prayer 

Faithful- and I don’t care 

If the world around us gives up on love 

I will make you see 

You can count on me 

I will be faithful- 

Faithful to my lover’s prayer 

  

Baby you can lean on me 

You can lean on me.. 

  

Trust me baby 

This is not goodbye 

There’s no need for you to cry 

What we’ve got’s too strong 

To be denied.. 

  

I will be faithful to my lover’s prayer 

Faithful-and I don’t care 

If the world around us gives up on love 

I will make you see 

You can count on me 

I will be faithful to my lover’s prayer 

Faithful to the dream we share 

If the world around us gives up on love 

I will make you see 

You can count on me 

I will be faithful 

Faithful to my lover’s prayer 

Faithful to the dream we share.. 

What You Won't Do For Love

I guess you wonder where I’ve been 

I searched to find the love within 

And I came back to let you know 

Got a thing for you and I can’t let go 

  

My friends wonder what is 

wrong with me 

But I’m in a daze from your 

love you see 

And I came back to let you know 

Got a thing for you and I can’ let go 

  

Some people go around the world

 for love 

But they may never find what 

they dream of 

  

What you won’t do.. 

Do for love 

You’ve tried everything but you 

won’t give up 

In my world-only you 

Make me do for love 

What I would not do 

  

My friends wonder what is 

wrong with me 

But I’m in a daze from your 

love you see 

And I came back to let you know 

Got a thing for you and I can’t let go 

  

And though I only want the best it’s true 

I can’t believe the things I do for you 

  

What you won’t do 

Do for love 

You’ve tried everything but you 

won’t give up 

In my world-only you 

Make me do for love 

What I would not do 

  

What you won’t do 

Do for love 

You’ve tried everything but you 

won’t give up 

In my world-only you. only you 

Make me do for love 

What I would not do 

Make me do for love 

What I would not do 

Make me do for love.. 

  

What you won’t do 

Do for love 

You’ve tried everything but you 

won’t give up 

In my world-only you 

Make me do for love 

What I would not do 

Call Me

Face to face 

My reflection in your eyes 

I was scared to say too much 

Perfect Strangers in perfect worlds apart 

Almost close enough to touch 

Staring at my shoes 

Feeling so confused 

Shot down without a gun 

Victim of a hit and run 

  

Call me – call me 

No time to hesitate – 

we must communicate 

Call me – call me 

Won’t you call this number now 

  

Mesmerised 

I go back to where we met 

A reconstruction of the crime 

I can’t track you down 

Nowhere to be found 

Now my one shot at success 

Is the power of the press 

  

Worlds apart – we are worlds apart 

  

Watch this space 

There’s a message here for you 

No need to read between the lines 

I am inside out 

There can be no doubt 

I want you and no-one else 

Please identify yourself 

A Taste Of Things To Come

I need a taste 

Of what you keep hidden 

Got to give it up 

For the working man 

The sweetest fruit 

Is the fruit forbidden 

Something in your smile 

Says you understand 

You can pump me up 

You can let me down 

You can sidestep 

But you know what I need 

  

I need a taste of things to come 

I need a taste of things to come 

(make me happy) 

I need a taste on the tip of my tongue 

I need a taste of things to come 

  

I need a taste 

Of what I’ve been missing 

A little bit of love 

Just to get me through 

I’m on my knees 

But you keep me wishing 

There’s a part of me 

That needs a part of you 

You can pump me up 

You can let me down 

You can sidestep 

But you know what I need.. 

  

I need a taste of things to come 

I need a taste of things to come 

(make me happy) 

I need a taste on the tip of my tongue 

I need a taste of things to come 

  

You’ve been holding out 

I’ve been holding on 

’cause I’ve got you in my sights 

I don’t want to let go 

But I can’t wait another day 

It’s got to be tonight.. girl 

  

You know what I need.. 

I need a taste of things to come

Tracks Of My Tears

People say I’m the life of the party 
’cause I tell a joke or two 
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty 
Deep inside I’m blue 

So take a good look at my face 
You’ll see my smile looks out of place 
If you look closer, it’s easy to trace 
The tracks of my tears 
I need you, need you 

Since you left me if you see me with another girl 
Seeming like I’m having fun 
Although she may be cute, she’s just a substitute 
’cause you’re the permanent one 
So take a good look at my face 
You’ll see my smile looks out of place 
If you look closer, it’s easy to trace 
The tracks of my tears 
Oh oh oh oh, I need you, need you 

I’m masquerading 
(Inside) my hope is fading 
(Just a clown), ooh yeah 
Since you put me down, my smile is my make up 
I wear since my break up with you 
Baby, take a good look at my face 
You’ll see my smile looks out of place 
If you look closer, it’s easy to trace 
The tracks of my tears 
Now, baby 

Baby, baby, take a good look at my face 
You’ll see my smile looks out of place 
If you look closer, it’s easy 
The tracks of my tears 
The tracks of my tears 

People say I’m the life of the party 
’cause I tell a joke or two 
Although I might be laughing, girl 
Deep inside I’m blue 
I’m blue 

The King Of Wishful Thinking

I don’t need to fall at your feet 

Just ‘cause you cut me to the bone 

And I won’t miss the way that you kiss me 

We were never carved in stone 

If I don’t listen to the talk of the town 

Then maybe I can fool myself.. 

  

I’ll get over you.. I know  I will 

I’ll pretend my ship’s not sinking 

And I’ll tell myself I’m over you 

‘cause I’m the king of wishful thinking 

I am the king of wishful thinking 

  

I refuse to give into my blues 

That’s not how it’s going to be 

And I deny the tears in my eyes 

I don’t want to let you see.. no 

That you have made a hole in my heart 

And now I’ve got to fool myself.. 

  

I’ll get over you. I know I will 

I’ll pretend my ship’s not sinking 

And I’ll tell myself I’m over you 

‘cause I’m the king of 

wishful thinking 

I’ll get over you.. I know I will 

I’ll pretend my ship’s not sinking 

And I’ll tell myself I’m over you 

’cause I’m the king of wishful thinking 

  

I will never, never shed a tear for you 

I’ll get over you 

  

If I don’t listen to the talk of the town 

Then maybe I can fool myself 

  

I’ll get over you.. I know I will 

I’ll pretend my ship’s not sinking 

And I’ll tell myself I’m over you 

‘cause I’m the king of wishful

 thinking.. 

I’m the king of wishful thinking 

I’ll get over you.. I know I will 

You made a hole in my heart 

But I won’t shed a tear for you 

I’ll be the king of wishful thinking 

I’ll get over you.. 

I’ll pretend my heart’s still beating 

‘cause I’ve got no more tears for you 

I am the king of wishful thinking.. 

The Sun And The Moon

My friend the night never lets me down 

But I can’t keep dreaming for ever 

I need a picture for this empty frame 

Tell me the waiting is over 

‘cause I can see myself in you 

we are leaves in the wind 

but together we can light up the sky 

I’ll tell you why…baby 

  

I will be the sun.. you’ll be the moon 

Won’t you let me be the one 

To shine a light on you? 

The day that we’re together 

Can’t come too soon 

And baby I will be the sun.. 

you’ll be the moon 

You’ll be the moon 

  

I’ve been searching for a desert bloom 

And I’ve found my one in a million 

So when the river is a raging flood 

I’ll be the rock that you stand on 

The years of talking to myself 

Were like leaves in the wind 

From the moment I looked into your eyes 

I’ll tell you why.. baby 

  

I will be the sun.. you’ll be the moon 

Won’t you let me be the one 

To shine a light on you? 

The day that we’re together 

Can’t come too soon 

And baby I will be the sun.. 

you’ll be the moon 

  

You’ll be the moon every midnight 

When I’m scared of the dark 

You will be there, baby 

To take care of me 

And I’ll be the sun when you’re sleeping 

I will watch over you 

I will hold you close and keep you 

safe forever… 

Forever girl… 

  

 ‘cause I can see myself in you 

We are leaves in the wind 

But together we can light up the sky 

Girl together we can light up the sky 

I’ll tell you why… 

  

I will be the sun … you’ll be the moon 

We Close Our Eyes

Inside, everyone hides one desire 

Outside no one would know 

Danger, close to the edge of the knife 

Safer not to let go 

And while we miss chances 

You can almost hear time 

slipping away 

  

We close our eyes we never

 lose a game 

Imagination never lets us 

take the blame 

We close our eyes to see 

the final frame 

We close our eyes to time 

slipping away 

  

No Show…Wednesday girl 

waits with the wine 

She knows just what to say 

While no one listens 

You can almost hear time 

slipping away 

We close our eyes we never

lose a game 

Imagination never lets us 

take the blame 

We close our eyes to see 

the final frame 

We close our eyes and….. 

  

We can talk to strangers 

We are burning with the spark 

And we can walk on water 

We are tigers in the dark 

We are burning ! 

  

We close our eyes 

  

Heroes never give in to the night 

He knows how far he can run 

And as he surrenders 

You can almost hear time 

slipping away 

Hangin' On For Dear Life

My, my – how things have changed 

All of my friends family men 

PC and PTA 

And no one’s coming out to play 

They think I’ve got it made 

And so I smile, and I pretend 

Yeah I’m a lucky guy 

But on the inside.. 

  

I’m just hangin’ on for dear life 

Waiting for the wind to change 

Running in circles 

Trying to make a getaway 

Hangin’ on for dear life 

Gettin’ harder every day 

Tryin’ to get you off my mind 

Ever since you went away 

  

Maybe it’s been too long 

For me to say that I was wrong 

But if it’s not too late 

I wanna set the record straight 

Why try to hide the truth? 

You know that I could never lie to you 

You can see behind my smile 

You can see inside.. 

  

I’m just hangin’ on baby 

Waiting for the wind to change 

Round and round 

Got to make a getaway 

Hangin’ on 

Gets harder every day 

I can’t get you off my mind 

Ever since you went away.. 

  

I got no one I can run to 

No one to turn to – I know 

That’s the price I gotta pay 

Every minute every day 

I got nothing to come home to 

Living without you 

I’m hangin’ on for dear life 

Hangin’ on 

  

You could always see behind my smile 

You can see inside.. 

All Day All Night

Anyone can see 

All I wanna be is by your side 

What you do to me 

Makes me feel like I light up inside 

And I don’t care what they say, baby 

I love your way with me 

When I look into your eyes 

I see just what I want to see 

‘Cause you make me believe.. 

  

You know I dream about you girl – 

all day 

Until the minute I can get away 

‘Cause I’m in heaven in your arms 

all night 

And all I wanna do is hold you tight 

I never knew I could be so in love 

I feel like I can never get enough 

It can’t be wrong because it feels 

so right 

That’s why I love you all day – 

all night 

  

You are all I need 

You’re my lover – yeah, 

you’re my best friend 

And I feel incomplete 

‘Til I’m lying in your arms again 

So I don’t care what they say, baby 

I love your way with me 

When I look into your eyes 

I see just what I want to see 

‘Cause you make me believe.. 

  

You know I dream about you girl – 

all day 

Until the minute I can get away 

‘Cause I’m in heaven in your arms 

all night 

And all I wanna do is hold you tight 

I never knew I could be so in love 

I feel like I can never get enough 

It can’t be wrong because it feels 

so right 

That’s why I love you all day – 

all night 

  

Any one can see 

All I wanna be is by your side 

And I don’t care what they say, baby 

I love your way with me..
