LYRICS
Different World
I met someone from a different world so very far away
She seemed to come and go so fast I miss her to this day
Her smile could melt the frozen heart and light the darkest night
but now she’s gone back to her world and turned out the light
Her hair was of the finest silk, her eyes a perfect blue
and she came from a different world, that I never knew
..
She came across to say hello, we stood and talked awhile
you should have heard us laugh that day, It still make’s me smile
She asked me for such little time and what little I had
but it was never long enough and that makes me sad
I didn’t know what I had lost but now its very plain
because I’ll never know the world from where she came
..
And on a busy London street laid bare before my eyes
it was in one brief moment that love materialised
And then she called to say goodbye my heart sank to the floor
and all the words I’d left unsaid were lost forever more
And on that crowded London street I found myself alone
I knew it was a different world from the one we’d known (Repeat 1st Verse)
The Hardest Part
I can’t see you till the wars over
Till all the fighting stops
Hope I can return again someday
But many will be lost
..
Please say you’ll think of me
Out in some foreign land
Fighting for my country
With a gun in my hand
..
I’m only waiting for the day
I can come home to you and say I love you
And though there’s fear in my heart
Being without you is the hardest part. Marianne
..
My train is waiting for me
To take me to a far off shore
To a place I’ve never heard of
in the middle of a bloody war
..
And we’ll stand together
Answering a battle call
There will be no returning
Till we either win or fall
..
I’d rather stay here in your arms
Missing you will do me much more harm
And over on the other side
There’s young boys wishing they could hide away
Marianne Repeat 1st verse, chorus.
The Man Who Understands
Chorus
I am the man who understands
all of your thoughts are in my hands
I’ll always be at your command
I am the man who understands
..
You are a friend second to none
in all the world you are the one
and when you say its time to run
just think of all things we’ve done
..
Fill me a glass to ease the pain
and fill it time and time again
when others go we will remain
and it will always be the same Chorus
..
If I could carry you away
I wouldn’t wait another day
of all the games that people play
this is the one that’s here to stay
..
And if there was another time
when I was yours , and you were mine
we never even saw the sign
I’ll follow you right down the line Chorus
Maybe Not Tomorrow
Sitting alone in the afternoon
Hoping that the weather changes soon
Well the country’s on its knees again
And the whole worlds out of tune
This can’t go on forever
..
People dying cos they’ve got no bread
And the rest are over fed
I’m just sitting here wondering why
We can’t get it in to our heads
This can’t go on forever
We’ve got to make things better
..
And there has got to be a way
That we can get it right someday
Maybe not tomorrow
But we’ll have to pay
If we don’t get it right someday
..
Maybe I’m lucky being here
I could have lived in Kampuchea
Or been a child of the Lebanon
With the shell fire in my ear
This can’t go on forever
..
And while I’m waiting for the cricket score
I hear the news about another war
And the children in Africa
What the hell are they dying for
Oh this can’t go on forever
We’ve got to make things better
..
And there has got to be away
That we can get it right someday
Maybe not tomorrow
But we’ll have to pay
If we don’t get it right someday
Maybe not tomorrow
But we’ll have to pay
If we don’t get it right
If we don’t stop fighting
If we don’t get it right someday
The Night All Hell Broke Out
There’s been heat wave over London
that’s set the streets on fire
frustration burning in the gutter
kids scream with hot desire
as black and white present their anger
and police retaliate
a boy lies bleeding on the pavement
the name of this game is hate Chorus
And you can hear them shout
lets change something’s about
the night all hell broke out
the night all hell broke out
..
Now action taken was expected
A riot squad display
out on the streets and set for battle
to drive those kids away
the time for talking never started
it never worked before
A hero falls for law and order
to even up the score – Chorus
..
The morning sun shines over London
The morning papers count the cost
but who can understand the reasons
for this urban holocaust
who ever thought the streets in England
could be a battle ground
but until we learn to live together
there’s fire all around – Chorus
I Will Be Your Guide
I will always be your guide
If you need me by your side
you will never be denied
I will be your guide
..
If you need a helping hand
or just someone to understand
when things go wrong that you have planned
I will lend a hand
If you need a place to hide
or a friend to confide
to wipe the tears that you have cried
I will be your guide Repeat chorus & verse 3.
Circles
So the evening is moving away
Leaving you with tired eyes
He wants to hold you
But he can’t get it right
No matter how hard he tries
..
The worried thoughts that run through your mind
Of what the morning brings
He wants to be there right by your side
But he won’t say anything
Chorus
And your going round in circles
Going nowhere fast
And you know in your own circles
That it just won’t last
..
You didn’t know when he asked you to dance
He’d sweep you off your feet
And he was taken back by your smile
When you came to meet
..
And as you danced the evening away
You laugh at words he says
He asks if he can take you back home
And you hear yourself saying yes
Chorus
Then you arrive outside your front door
He tells you how he feels
Its raining hard and you ask him inside
You wonder if its real
..
And as you quietly open the door
So you don’t wake anyone
He stuck for words that he wants you to hear
Now that the time has come
Chorus
Nowhere to Run
There’s no way out as far as I can see
You lost your way and you’re not fooling me
Sold to the highest bid
God knows what else you did
You’re on your way to being exposed
..
So many people put their trust in you
you pay them back with the things you do
with power at your command
you played the devils hand
But now you find you’re out on your own.
Chorus
And the higher you climb the harder you fall
And there’s nowhere to run
nowhere at all
..
Those so called friends you’ve got by your side
They’ll turn their backs on you and run to hide
And drop you like a shot
When you are not so hot
But they’re no better than you are -Chorus
..
And now its time to face the music,
put yourself down on the line
You have one chance and you must use it
To save yourself for the last time – 1st verse, Chorus
Next to Me
Don’t want no drunks standing next to me
Don’t want to share in their misery
Put them all in some sanctuary
Don’t want them next to me
..
Don’t want no losers in my neighbourhood
The prices drop and it don’t look good
I ‘d lock them all up if I could
Not in my neighbourhood
Chorus
So I ‘ll walk away from here
Find a place where the air is clear
Cos. I cant make them disappear
Don’t want them next to me
..
Don’t want to look at some poor old man
Who tries to get by the best he can
He’s got no money but who gives a dam
Not for that poor old man
..
The crippled child in her wheelchair
I turn away when I see her there
Lets hide them all away somewhere
Don’t want to see her there Chorus
..
Don’t want no beggars knocking at my door
why should I give what I worked hard for
I’m tired of hearing all about the poor
Don’t want them at my door
..
And all them homeless on the street
I’d make them all work for their keep
Instead of begging for the food they eat
Don’t want them on my street . Chorus
Our Time Tonight
I have to say how much I feel about you
But words alone can’t say what’s on my mind
I would not tell you lies
And love is in your eyes
Ah but Suzanne this is our time tonight
Ah but Suzanne this is our time tonight
..
You make the best of every situation
You take your chances as they come along
And if you feel its right
You just get out and fight
Ah but Suzanne this is our time tonight
Ah but Suzanne this is our time tonight
..
There may not be another time
So let us make our plans
Tomorrow always comes too soon
The night is in our hands
..
Now many lovers never come together
They never get into each others arms
They live on broken dreams
..
Of what it might have been
Ah but Suzanne this is our time tonight
Ah but Suzanne this is our time tonight
..
There may not be another time
So let us make our plans
Tomorrow always comes too soon
The night is in our hands
..
And when I wake up to another morning
I want to hold you in my arms again
Night brings on the day
We go our separate ways
Ah but Suzanne this is our time tonight
Ah but Suzanne this is our time tonight
If I Fall In Love With You
Can I help it if I fall in love with you
can I help it if I think of only you
do you want me to walk away come back again someday
if you don’t mind I think I ‘d rather stay around
..
There was a time when I would cry at night for you
and now I lie awake until the morning new
Its getting harder all the time
so when will you be mine
If you don’t answer I think I’m gonna cry again
Chorus
I’ve been through this all before you can’t fool me now
Can’t you see that I will see through you somehow
If you can’t make up your mind then I will understand
..
Can’t you see that Ill be sad without you near
and I don’t mind telling you just how I feel
Its a long way I have come I don’t wanna run
I feel sure that someday your gonna love
me too Repeat chorus and 1st verse
Remember Me
Remember me
I’m the one who moved away
So many years ago
When we were young
You asked me not to leave
But there was so much more I’d planned to see
Now was that very wrong of me
..
Would you believe me
If I told you, that I have thought about you many times
But can you blame me
Cos., I would never have blamed you
If you had done the same thing to
Chorus
And now I’ve come back to this town
Where all my friends have settled down
They tell me your married now
With children to your name
There the things we talked about
Or was it just a game
..
So its good to see you
Please don’t walk away
There are so many things that we can say
Before we take our leave
But not the way it was before
And we’ll be friends again once more
Repeat Chorus and 1st verse
