1.Only When You Leave

Laying in the after glow
I only want to learn what you know
But now you're leaving
How many hearts must you break?
How many calls must i make?
But now you're leaving
In this world all that i choose has come unbearable
But love is in your touch
Oh it's killing me so much
Only when tou leave
I'll need to love you
And when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough too long
Only when you leave, you'll leave in danger
Oh i'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away
I only want to make this things last
So how could this have gone so fast
And now you're leaving
How many times must i learn
It' s only when you've gone that i burn
And now you're leaving
In the end, all that i left has come unbearable
It's hard to change your mind,
So leave it all behind
Only when you leave
I'll need to love you
And when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough to long
Only when you leave,you'll leave in danger
Oh i'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away


2.I'll Fly For You

Passion take the wind
And break me from this tie
We're mortals on the earth
Oh but god's in the sky
I haven't got a clue
I haven't got a thing
But what i give to you
Is all that i could bring
I'll give you all my time
That's ev 'rything to me
You know my only crime
Is this flight of fantasy
Because i've nothing else here for you
And just because it's easier than the truth
Oh if there's nothing else that i can do
I'll fly for you
Passion take the wind
And break me from this tie
We're mortals on the earth
Oh but god's in the sky
I haven't got a clue
I haven't got a thing
But what i give to you
Is all that i could bring
I'll give you all my time
That's ev 'rything to me
You know my only crime
Is this flight of fantasy
Because i've nothing else here for you
And just because it's easier than the truth
Oh if there's nothing else that i can do
I'll fly for you
I'm just an average boy
You're more than an average girl
And when you sing to me the 'sho be doos'
You sing so well
Oh don't you know that when i'm under you
I'm overjoyed


3.Highly Strung

This is the song of little jo
She's not the girl i used to know
Forever screaming all the day and night
She used to be a diplomat
But now she's down the laundromat
They washed her mind
And now she finds it hard
I know her name
But now she never seems the same
She don't talk to me
'cause she can't take no sympaty
Because she's highly strung
Oh highly strung, she's undone
Highly strung
She's stepping out upon the ledge,
She's got a gun against her
She's wired up to blow
The power line
She's walking out upon the knife
She'll take you to the edge of life
Just like the song,
The pressure is on again
I know her name
But now she never seems the same
She don't talk to me
'cause she can't take no sympaty
Because she's highly strung
Oh highly strung, she's undone
Highly strung
This si the song of little jo
She's not the girl i used to know


4.Round And Round

I don't have to be so wise
You're just my fantasy
And i will fantasize
Something more or less to make this things started
We're the artisans
And we've been crafted
I wanna be your magical mystery
I wanna be your final history
This is the news
Nothing's ever been so wild
All that i get to do
Is what i give to you
This is all about the circles we've found
And through the ups and downs
It goes round
Oh i was just beginning to grow strong
She was only eighteen summers long
We were the news
Round and round it goes
And oh don't you know
This is the game that we came here for
Round and round it goes,
And don't you know
This is the news of my life
Oh i was just beginning to grow strong
She was only eighteen summers long
We were the news
Round and round it goes
And oh don't you know
This is the game that we came here for
Round and round it goes,
And don't you know


5.Revenge For Love

Don't i need a saviour
Just to bail me out
I'll hold my breath until the water lets me out
And i say
Alimony never can pay
Hey, hey, hey
I'm on the breadline,
Your on the answer phone,
You're off the hook,
And i'm left all alone
It's a shame.
Passion isn't always to blame,
Hey, hey, hey
Oh, i don't need time.
Just sweet revenge for love.
Oh, i don't don't need time,
Just sweet revenge for love.
Don't say it's a crime
Just give me sweet revenge.
I'm undercover,
Your love has overgrown,
Retaliation is emotion i have shown,
And i say,
All the money never could pay.
Hey, hey, hey,
I'm on the level,
You're on the second floor,
I'm counting seconds,
As my hand goes for the door,
Pleasure isn't always the same.
Hey, hey, hey.


6.Always In The Back Of My Mind

Oh, you're always in the back of my mind .
Nothing ever changes,
Oh, i wish to god it did
Just another drink and you'll be gone.
2 a.m. raining again.
I saw you making faces in the river.
Only me, down by the quay.
Just a sad reflection that i give you.
Oh, i thought time would burn it.
Burn it down to the ground.
Just a little breeze and you'll be strong
Driving home, all on my own.
Just a passenger in all that we lost
Satisfy, oh, lord don't deny,
I see your face in the everything that's near 'cause.
Oh, you were always in the back of my mind
Oh, i have all the memories,
The winter of '82.
When down upon the ice you saw me melt.
Washed up on the rocks again,
Oh, don't you know that it's so damn hot
And the things you do.
Oh i won't ever learn.
Oh i won't ever learn.
Oh, you were always in the back of my mind.


7.Nature Of The Beast

It is the key to all the doors,
It is the crashing on the shores.
It lives in your steering wheel.
It hides in the wind and rain,
With voices as cold as steel
It's calling your name
It is the smile upon his face
It is the winning of the race.
It lives in the red-alert.
It lives in the power game
It's easy to take to heart
But harder to tame
This is the nature of the beast
(this is the nature)
This is the nature of the beast
(this is the nature)
Without all this heat
They'll be dancing west to east
This is the nature of the beast
It is the glowing in his eyes
It is the reason for his lies
How many know you're there
How many play your game
He's always the man to dare
You're always to blame
It is the need to understand
It is the trigger in his hand
It lives in the uniform
It grows from the need to gain
With faces so old and torn
It's calling your name
This is the nature of the beast
(this is the nature)
This is the nature of the beast
(this is the nature)
Without all this heat
They'll be dancing west to east
This is the nature of the beast.


8.With The Pride

Just leave me with the pride
That i worked for
Now they've taken the reason away
Just leave me with the pride
That i worked for
Today
Build on rock, or build on sand,
They're never gonna lend a hand
So nothing grows or nothing stands
I can't take any more
I can't take any more
There's not a lot of space for me
But i've still got my dignity
I've got my price
Don't say i'm free
I can't take anymore
I can't take anymore
But i'm hungry
I could eat anything
But i'm hungry
Oh, let's dance, oh, let's swing
And all that i hear are the words that she sings
Now they've taken it all
Now they've taken it all
I'd rather take this cure for life
Than make myself a sacrifice
If living is to pay the price
I can't take anymore
I can't take anymore
It takes a while to understand
When your eyes are full of sand
When only time is in your hands
I can't take anymore
I can't take anymore
But i'm hungry
I could eat anything
But i'm hungry
Oh, let's dance, oh, let's swing
And all that i hear are the words that she sings
Now they've taken it all
Now they've taken it all
Just leave me with the pride
Taht i worked for
Now they've taken the reason away
Just leave me with the pride
That i worked for
Today.
