ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT, I COULDN’T SLEEP, I WAS MYSTIFIED,
BY THE MOONLIGHT ON YOUR PRECIOUS SKIN,
BUT WHEN MORNING COMES I’M GONE AGAIN................. MMM
FEAR IS A WORD I CAN’T EXPLAIN, SO MANY TIMES, LEFT OUT IN THE RAIN, SWEPT OUT IN THE STREET AGAIN;
TOO LATE MY FRIEND, ITS A LONG WAY BACK NOW WE’VE REACHED THE END........AAHA.....AAHA...
DISTANT SHIPS ON THE HORIZON, THEY SAIL TO OTHER LANDS
AND SINK BEFORE THEY REACH THEIR DESTINATION
THEY FALL INTO THE SEA.......AAAAAAAAHHH JUST LIKE YOU AND ME...
AAAHA........AAHA
TIME HAS A WAY OF BANDAGING, STIFLING THE HEMORRHAGE
STEMMING THE FLOW OF CHILDHOOD DREAMS
OF LIFE IN IT’S SIMPLICITY..........
DISTANT SHIPS ON THE HORIZON, THEY SAIL TO OTHER LANDS
AND SINK BEFORE THEY REACH THEIR DESTINATION
THEY FALL INTO THE SEA.......AAAAAAAAHHH JUST LIKE YOU AND ME...
OVER THE SEAS, I’M ON MY WAY, I CAN’T EXPLAIN, I WOULDN’T WANT TO SAY IT ANYWAY
BUT NOW THAT YOU’RE FREE, FREE OF ME, NOW YOU CAN BE ALL YOU WANT TO BE...... AAHA.....AAHA........
DISTANT SHIPS ON THE HORIZON, THEY SAIL TO OTHER LANDS
AND SINK BEFORE THEY REACH THEIR DESTINATION
THEY FALL INTO THE SEA.......AAAAAAAAHHH......JUST LIKE........
DISTANT SHIPS ON THE HORIZON, THEY SAIL TO OTHER LANDS
AND SINK BEFORE THEY REACH THEIR DESTINATION
THEY FALL INTO THE SEA.......AAAAAAAAHHH, JUST LIKE YOU AND ME...
I DON’T KNOW WHERE I’M GOING BUT I SURE KNOW WHERE I’VE BEEN,
IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME COMIN’, I’LL NOT BE BACK AGAIN.........MY FRIEND…..UP AHEAD A BEND…..IT’S COMIN’ TO AN END.. YOU KNOW I MEAN IT THIS TIME THEN…………..AAAHHAAAAA

Saturday night, on the prowl down the boulevard,
Intoxicated, I got a broken heart
I walk those city streets at night,
Those girls ain’t treatin’ me right.....
Stop! Check my composure,
Lady of the night, I'm gonna expose ya
Losin control, I’m goin’ insane,
Weird things goin on in my brain
Sometimes, I like to play rough,
So tell me baby; when you've had enough
your lips taste so delightful,
I'm under your spell baby I'm your disciple
YOU COULD SAY IM EASY TO PLEASE
YOU COULD SAY YOUR LOVE MAKES ME WEAK AT THE KNEES
I CAN'T FIGHT IT, IT'S LIKE A DISEASE
I'M EASY, SO PRETTY PLEASE ME
IM EASY TO PLEASE
I’m not much up for chit chat,
Plenty of time for that back at your flat
Folks say I’m cheap and sleazy, .
But honey I prefer to think I’m.. free & easy
What’s that? You’re ready to dine,
You there baby, you lookin’ fine
O Sweet Mercy, come fuel the fire,
and we'll fill the night with desire
YOU COULD SAY IM EASY TO PLEASE
YOU COULD SAY YOUR LOVE MAKES ME WEAK AT THE KNEES
I CAN'T FIGHT IT, IT'S LIKE A DISEASE
I'M EASY, SO PRETTY PLEASE ME, IM EASY TO PLEASE
I’M EASY, I’M EASY TO PLEASE. I’M EASY, I’M EASY TO PLEASE....EASY....EASY TO PLEASE......
DO DO, DO DO DO DO, DO DO, DO DO DOOO
Off I go to confession and I, say a little prayer
Oh Lord, I went back again, OMG, for a happy ending
Hey Lord, I keep on tryin’ But guess what big Fella?
I just end up buyin it... yeah yeah

Promenade
03:20
|

Got a funny feelin; a flutter in my heart
What ya gonna do about it?
Love is an addiction an habitual drug,
I don’t think I could live without it
So if I ask ya babe - take a little chance,
Take a little walk with me along the Promenade?
Just the other day as I was chattin’ to a friend,
Your name came up in conversation.
My mind began to wander, I slipped into dream
It was a rather funny situation
You looked into my eyes; I took you by the hand,
You said you were afraid; I said hey babe I understand……
But you don’t have to worry at all,
All you gotta do is call
And I’ll be there, bells a-ringing, I’ll be singing…. La de da
People try to tell me that my life is just a joke,
When they aint ever tried it.
There’s a kind of feelin that you need to have inside
I know for sure you cannot buy it
Well its everything I am and everything I do
And all I wanna do is walk along the Promenade with you
And you don’t have to worry at all,
All you gotta do is call
And I’ll be there, bells a-ringing, I’ll be singing…. La de da
And now I got that funny kind of feeling again,
What ya gonna do about it?
Life is what ya make it it’s a happening thing
The true believers never doubt it.
So if I ask ya babe, take a little chance
Take a little walk with me along the Promenade?
Coz you don’t have to worry at all,
All you gotta do is call
And I’ll be there, bells a-ringing, I’ll be singing…. La de da
You don’t have to worry at all,
All you gotta do is call
And I’ll be there, bells a-ringing, I’ll be singing…. La de da
La-da da-da, La-da da-da, La-da da-da, ah-daa daa dada ahda, da-ah-ahda

Sweet Cherokee
03:41
|

There's a place full of sweet, full of sweet sweet memories,
Thats the place where I long to be.
Dusty clothes, dirty hair and a guitar to comfort me,
I've been on this road much too long.
Take me back to my Sweet Cherokee
Take me back to my one and only,
Can't believe I'm alive but it's so hard to survive,
I've been driving all night and sleeping through the day.
Well she knows I never would treat her less than good
I just can't get her off my mind...
Take me back to my Sweet Cherokee
Take me back to my one and only,
Take me back to my Sweet Cherokee
She's the only one I want to see
Twenty-four hour motels, satchel flavoured coffee
with nothin' left to show, no money
not a care in the world,
but I miss my Cherokee
Take my from this misery,
The sooner I get there; the better I'll be
There's a place full of sweet, full of sweet sweet memories,
Thats the place where I long to be.
Well she knows I never would treat her less than good
I just can't get her off my mind...
Take me back to my Sweet Cherokee
Take me back to my one and only,
Take me back to my Sweet Cherokee
She's the only one I want to see
Take me back, take me back,
Take me back, take me back,
Take me back, take me back,
Take me back, take me back,
Take me back, take me back,
Oh take me back...

Strange Emotion
04:03
|

I've got a key to the rainbow,
I tripped on something you said.
I never wanted any trouble,
But I've got a fire in my head.
What you do with your life, make it worth the while
and just try.
We deserve everything we’re entitled to,
We’re entitled to a life.
Well I sought to unlock the rainbow,
to set free the colours in the sky,
But in my haste to release them,
The clouds and the shadows passed me by
Now I think about it, let me off
This strange emotion
Nothing else I can do, let me off
This strange emotion
Mother I've got a strange kinda light in my eyes
Hey! Do you think I'm alright?
Mother I've been missing I've been trippin through the jungle
But I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
Strange emotion, Strange emotion
Strange emotion, Strange emotion
I lost my key to the rainbow,
I misplaced the thoughts in my head
I went looking for salvation,
My soul it yearns to be fed
Strange emotion, Strange emotion
Strange emotion, Strange emotion
Well I found my key to the rainbow...

Hello Precious, Imagine seeing you here
I’ve missed you so much but I’m back you have nothing to fear
Remember when I said NEVER SAY NEVER, and you tried to be clever,
And you stormed off into night
Run me through it, baby…Why’d ya do it, baby?
All this talking is making me hungry
Why don’t you join me for a bite?
Well, Pucker up Buttercup, toughen up Princess
Lay your soul bare, do I cause you distress
I picture you screamin’ at night when I’m dreamin
OMG! You’re not…. VEGAN? Are you?
Your days are numbered, I’m comin round,
Sleep baby, slumber, fall to the ground
Fall to the ground, Fall to the ground
As the poison works its way down
You held the chance in your hands then you let it slip through,
Now I hold you in contempt of everything I hold true (you’re in the stew!)
Clock Strikes, time to go
Time goes so slow
But I’ve got some games we can play
There’s fire burns and…swallow the worm,
excuse me, While I put some funky love in my veins
Can you feel your last meal is just hours away?
Quickly now precious, the beast has been browned
The blood has been boiled, the bones have been ground
We’re gonna enjoy this beautiful poison,
EAT! Bon Appetite!
Your days are numbered, I’m coming round,
Sleep baby, slumber, fall to the ground
Fall to the ground, fall to the ground
As the poison works its way down
You labelled me insane, You called me a freak
Now you just sit there screaming my name – JUST SHUT UP AND EAT!
GUESS WHO’S COMIN’ TO DINNER TONIGHT?
GUESS WHO’S COMIN’ TO DINNER TONIGHT?
GUESS WHO’S COMIN’ TO DINNER TONIGHT?
Your days are numbered, I’m coming round,
Sleep baby, slumber, as the poison works its way down

A Little Bit Of Sun
04:13
|

If passing time away is such a drag and life feels like it sucks in every way,
If you can’t look at people’s faces, I think it’s time you threw your phone away,
Get up off the couch my friend and step outside, this planet's got you covered, there's no need to hide...
All you need is a little bit of sun,
Stop that rubbish thinking that you’re the only one,
We’re on this ship together, we gotta help one another,
You gotta be a man and lend a hand to your sisters and brothers, yeah
Another day begins; you’re free, fall away; the chains that once restrained ye,
And the pouring rain; it fades to grey, the sunny sky presents itself as the clouds all wash away,
Well you’ve only just begun, now finish what you started, do whatever you can do to mend the broken hearted...
All you need is a little bit of sun,
Stop that rubbish thinking that you’re the only one,
We’re on this ship together, we gotta help one another,
You gotta be a man and lend a hand to your sisters and brothers, yeah
It’s the journey not the destination, there’s no time to lose,
Don’t be slaves to desperation, live the life you choose,
Jump on board, don’t hesitate, get in now before it’s too late,
There’s only one thing left to do, sing it loud and sing it true….
All you need is a little bit of sun,
Stop that rubbish thinking that you’re the only one,
We’re on this ship together, we gotta help one another,
You gotta be a man and lend a hand to your sisters
and brothers and your uncles and your aunties too
And your second cousin twice removed
‘Coz when the chips are down my friend, they’ll be there for you
All we need is a little bit of sun, open up your heart and mind, you’re not the only one
All we need is a little bit of sun,
All we need is a little bit of sun
All we need is a little bit of sun

Can’t see, can’t do, won’t be, won’t do
Anything without you in my life
I’m here for you, I won’t leave you
I’ll wait for you to make me your wife
Well I never thought I’d find you
But I found you just the same
I’ve been standing waiting for you
Here I am again, I’m in love……..
And it started with a glimmer in your eye
Take me in, hold me, squeeze me, help me understand
Let me be your knight in shining armour, take my hand
Let me love you and I’ll be true
I’ll always be right here by your side
Just say I do and I’ll give you
Everlasting love bona fide
I’m in love…***….I’m in love……***…
I’m in love……***
A school reunion of all places, surrounded by familiar
faces, we found love
And I know that from the moment that I saw you, I fell for you when I caught you out the corner of my eye
I was mesmerized, time stood still that night
Just say, I do, and I’ll give you
Everlasting love bona fide
I’m here for you, I won’t leave you
I’m happy just to be by your side
I’m in love……..I’m in love………
I’m in love………
The stars above are shining, there’s a glimmer in your eye
Take me in, hold me, squeeze me, help me understand
Let me be your one & only c’mon take my hand
Take me home ....Take me home.... Take me home.....
Let me love you and I’ll be true
I’ll always be right here by your side

the Journey
05:55

No one knows just how sweet life is til they get to be much to old to do anything about it,
so they shout it from the rooftops to the crowd
Once an Angel said to me,
You'll make friends and enemies.
but open up your heart and play,
you were meant to let it out.
So it goes "Poo-tee-weet"
Life is kinda bitter sweet
We're only here momentarily,
Don't let those folks get in the way....
Just like I am; You are me,
Thats the secret, thats the key,
and if you find your holy grail,
You might get to stay there for a while
Cos life's a scene from Groundhog day,
Thats what I believe anyway
and that Angel; she said "David,
You'll get there, when you're meant to arrive
I've got the flow and I've got the beat,
Show is over, hit delete,
I'm happy just to slip away,
Oh yeah, what do you say?
I hope you fall in love with me when we meet,
on the journey through that circle of life.
Life is short and life is sweet,
Feel that rhythm in your feet,
We can dance to a different beat,
I will always be here by your side,
And that Angel saidf to me;
"Don't take life too seriously,
Pretty soon now you'll be free,
You'll be floating, exploding like a supernova in the sky.
So it goes "Poo-tee-weet"
Life is kinda bitter sweet
We're only here momentarily,
Don't let those folks get in the way....
I've got the flow and I've got the beat,
Show is over, hit delete,
I'm happy just to slip away,
Oh yeah, what do you say?
I hope you fall in love with me baby when we meet,
on that journey through the circle of life.
And I'm hurtin' but oh how I'm learnin'
Yeah I'm hurtin' but oh how I'm learnin'
Yeah I'm hurtin' but oh how I'm learnin'
Yeah I'm hurtin' but oh how I'm learnin'
Wooo hooooo!

This one goes out to my newlywed, my squeeze, my woman, my girl,
Why do I love you Shell? Ha yeah, yo….It's simple….
You love with me with a passion, never rushin, now we’re smashin’ it
KISS HUG PUSH as we make love the fashion.
My head gets fuzzy, my pulse gets busy
When you oooooh girl, you know you make me dizzy.
My heart went zoom when you entered the room
I’m so in love with you girl BOOM BOOM BOOM.
My Missus Delicious, I’m fishin’ for your wishes
Well I couldn’t wish for a dishier dish.
Ya tush is so precious, No need to be suspicious!
Likky Likky Licious your command is my wish
The sight of you inspires incites my desire
You’re like a white hot heat that lights up my fire,
Why? Coz when you call me on the phone,
It goes RING RING RING
And my mind is blown.
WOOF WOOF WOOF
I’m like a puppy with a bone.
Hey there Wilma I’m your Fred Flintstone
Your love is like a party when I’m feelin all alone.
You leave me with a smile, I’d fly a thousand miles
To be with you Baby – our love has style.
My heart is ablaze and I’m stargazing
You look at me and smile and it ‘s so amazing!
Now I don’t wanna bore ya but I so adore her
I guarantee y’all I’ll do anything for her
And please understand that I’ve longed for her hand
We’re gonna do everything just as we planned
It’s not hard to see, what you mean to me,
You’ll always feel loved, and I’ll make you see
If that’s not enough, I’ll do heaps more stuff
You’re a diamond amongst pearls; a jewel in the rough.
And when the end is nigh, when I sigh my last sigh and I die
I might just spy on you from high in the sky.
My love is not token, I ain’t freakin jokin’
Truer words have barely very rarely been spoken
Now let’s not steer clear, slide it in to top gear
I’ll always be near here, no need to fear.
Coz we’re gonna be delirious year after year
Quick before it starts; grab me a beer?
Why? Coz when you call me on the phone,
It goes RING RING RING
And my mind is blown.
I’m like WOOF WOOF WOOF
just a puppy with a bone.
Hey there Wilma I’m your Fred Flintstone
Your love is like a party when I’m feelin all alone.
