BEAUTIFUL WORLD: 2006

REACH OUT

If our arms were reaching out

if our words could only bridge the doubt

will we lose this chance again?

Strange roads with different signs

Don’t even know where we divide

Are you my enemy or my friend?

‘Cause I don’t know you

and you don’t know me

it’s the same sun rising

we all just look to the sky

if we try

we can work it out somehow

if you don’t know me

and I don’t know you

how can we be fighting

we’re all connected it’s true

reaching out

it’s only love that pulls us through.

We all grieve in different ways

If one tear could wash away the pain

We’re all free to have the faith we believe, yeah

The world sleeps at different times

With one turn your day is now my night

We all live sharing the air that we breathe.

Reaching out, reaching high

Reaching out

Touching me.

If our arms were reaching out

Il our words could only bridge the doubt.

PATIENCE

Just have a little patience,

Still hurting from a love I lost,

I’m feeling your frustration,

but in any minute all the pain will stop,

just hold me close inside your arms tonight,

don’t be too hard on my emotion.

 

Cause I, need time,

My heart is numb has no feeling

So while I’m still healing

Just try, and have a little patience

 

I really wanna start over again

I know you wanna be my salvation

The one I can always depend

I’ll try to be strong, believe me I’m trying to move on

Its complicated but understand me,

 

Cause I, need time,

My heart is numb has no feeling

So while I’m still healing

Just try, and have a little patience yeah

Have a little patience yeah.

 

Cause the scars run so deep,

it’s been hard but I have to believe

have a little patience

 

have a little patience

 

Cause I, need time,

My heart is numb has no feeling

So while I’m still healing

Just try, and have a little patience

Have a little patience

 

My heart is numb has no feeling

So while I’m still healing

Just try, and have a little patience

BEAUTIFUL WORLD

Here standing in the rain

The sun has gone again and nothing’s gonna change

Time, I need a little time as you slip out of sight

And nothing heals the pain.

And I know that it’s you that’s stopping me from falling

Crashing down, losing ground til I see you again

And you know…

The sun will shine, and we will see there’s nothing standing in our way

Love will stand and never break

Never thought this could be me

Do you feel what I feel?

Everytime that you are near it’s a beautiful world

A beautiful world.

Words are hard to keep inside

Even though I’ve tried, impossible to hide.

 

And you know that it’s me that’s stopping you from falling

Crashing down, losing ground til I see you again

And you know…

I’ll be the stars guiding you

I’ll be the place that you hide

I’d run a thousand miles, a thousand miles to be by your side.

HOLD ON

We’ve been here many times before

Leaving rooms and slamming doors

We’re climbing up the bedroom walls

Sometimes we make it so frustrating

I touch your mouth, I touch your lips

The answers at our fingertips

Not giving up or givin in

Why are we so complicated?

Oh tell me what to say, tell me

To make it all ok

I don’t wanna see you hurting

Just hold on

Just hold on to me

I don’t wanna see you crying

Just hold on

Just hold on to me

I’m tryin’ to think of what to do

To really make it up to you

So many truths, too many lies

Making love can be so crazy

I find myself back here again

Asking you to let me in

You know it’s time, we need to change

How can we live with all these maybes?

There are no words to say, no words

To make it go away

I don’t wanna see you hurting

Just hold on

Just hold on to me

I don’t wanna see you crying

Just hold on

Just hold on to me

Cause baby it’s alright

I’m staying here tonight

So hold on

 

Just tell me what to say

To let you know I’ll always stay

I don’t wanna see you Hurting

Just hold on

Just hold on to me

I don’t wanna see you crying

Just hold on

Just hold on to me

LIKE I NEVER LOVED YOU AT ALL

Where, where are the stars

The ones that we used to call ours

Can’t imagine it now

We used to laugh till we fell down

Secrets we have now in the past

From something to nothing

Tell me

How did we lose our way

It’s hard to remember

All that we shared

Now we both got separate lives

From lovers to strangers

Now alone

There’s no one catching my fall

No one to hear my call

it’s like I never loved you at all

Now you’re so far away

and I see our star is fading

one too many times

guess it just got tired of waiting round

the nights that we thought

that these walls could talk

From something to nothing

Tell me

How did we lose our way

It’s hard to remember

All that we shared

Now we both got separate lives

From lovers to strangers

Now alone

There’s no one catching my fall

No one to hear my call

It’s like I never loved you

So now does he give you love

Oh, is it only me now

who’s thinking of

what we had

and what we were

or did you ever care

baby, was I ever there

How did we lose our way

It’s hard to remember

All that we shared

Now we both got separate lives

From lovers to strangers

Now alone

Tell me

How did we lose our way

It’s hard to remember

All that we shared

Now we both got separate lives

From lovers to strangers

Now alone

There’s no one catching my fall

No one to hear my call

it’s like I never loved you at all

At all

It’s like I never loved you at all

It’s like I never loved you at all

SHINE

You, you’re such a big star to me

You’re everything I wanna be

But you’re stuck in a hole and I want you to get out

I don’t know what there is to see

But I know it’s time for you to leave

We’re all just pushing along

Trying to figure it out, out, out.

All your anticipation pulls you down

When you can have it all, you can have it all.

 

So come on, so come on, get it on

Don’t know what you’re waiting for

Your time is coming don’t be late, hey hey

So come on

See the light on your face

Let it shine

Just let it shine

Let it shine.

Stop being so hard on yourself

It’s not good for your health

I know that you can change

So clear your head and come round

You only have to open your eyes

You might just get a big surprise

And it may feel good and you might want to smile, smile, smile.

Don’t you let your demons pull you down

‘Cause you can have it all, you can have it all.

 

Hey let me know you

You’re all that matters to me

Hey let me show you

You’re all that matters to me.

Hey let me love you

You’re all that matters to me

Hey so come on yeah

Shine all your light over me.

I’D WAIT FOR LIFE

There’s a place we used to be

There’s a face that I used to see

There’s a picture with you by my side

There’s a moment that I want to find.

 

I don’t know where to start

Or how to begin

But I know I love you still.

If you ever turn away

If you ever change your mind

If the road ahead becomes too hard to climb

If there’s something in you heart that tells you to stop

Oh to hold you close tonight

I’d wait for life.

There’s a voice shouting inside my head

There’s a space on your side of the bed

There’s a hope everytime there’s a sound

There’s a silence that’s playing too loud.

I don’t know how you are

Or how you may be

But I know I love you still.

If I close my eyes

I’ll dream a little deeper baby

‘Cause you are always on my mind

yeah you are always on my mind

For life

AIN’T NO SENSE IN LOVE

Ain’t No Sense In Love

I’m afraid of the morning

I’m afraid of the light

You should come with a warning

You should be wearing a sign

That says you’re beautiful trouble

So you better beware

One look and I was in right over my head.

Oh this misery

There’s no place on earth I’d rather be.

You’re not the one I need

You’re just the one that I want

Makes perfect sense to me

You’re not the one I need

But you’re the one that I want

Ain’t no sense in love.

I try to stop myself

So many times

But I keep falling over

I keep crossing the line

The heart of a gypsy and the soul of a stone

It’s just a matter of time before you leave me alone.

Oh sweet misery

Fill my heart up and pour it all over me.

It’s not logical

That’s the way I feel

It’s not logical

Psychological

It’s heaven underneath my skin but it’s hell out here.

WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN

What am I to you and what are you to me?

Are we getting better or did we used to be?

What of the songs we used to sing?

Where are the souls we used to carry in?

What is a sail without a hurricane?

What is a hurt without someone to blame?

Show me the sky and I’ll climb the stairs

Give me something ‘cause I’m losing it.

Give me what it is you believe in

‘Cause I give to you my truth

I got all my faith in you

I don’t know which way we are going

Doesn’t matter anyway

Just as long as you will stay.

Tell me the word and I’ll shout it out

For what is a voice when in doubt?

The world has changed

The world will change

Oh give me something cause I need to feel.

Refrain

It’s all good you know

I still love you so

And you don’t have to do this on your own.

MANCUNIAN WAY

We used to walk Mancunian way

We used to swagger, we used to sway

Up until the lights took us away

Do you know what you meant to me?

We used to think we were the bomb

Then someone left a real one

We stayed indoors as the rain come

Back then it made no sense to me

I’m missing your face, your beautiful face

It’s funny that I recall they gave us the keys to the city, but they don’t fit anything

But I’m coming anyway

 

Refrain

I hear you calling

I came back crawling

Forgot that feeling

Been so long coming

They tried to stop her

She just got stronger

I’m driving home again

Back down Mancunian Way

 

I forgot how it is to feel

To dance and move and keep it real

Been lying down for ten long years

But I was there and it feels like yesterday

I’m missing your face, your beautiful face

It’s funny that I recall you came when I was pretty, but that don’t work no more

But I’m coming anyway

Refrain

 

Now I stand here in front of you

I know now what I’m gonna do

My shoulders low but my head is high

I’m gonna bring this town alive

Through this acidic rain

I’m gonna come back to life again

Refrain

WOODEN BOAT

A little boy me went fishing in a wooden boat

Sitting there for hours in the cold

Patience is a virtue til we die

Then a ripple in the water caught my eye.

Sometimes we don’t know what we’re waiting for

That’s the time to be the first one on the dance floor

We go from green to blue to go to black

Breathe deep, who knows how long will this last.

 

Only was last week I learnt to drive

Stole my mother’s keys and drove all night

Christine never showed it’s 4 am

Started up mum’s car drove home again.

One year ago I kissed my bride

Now I wait to hear my baby’s cry

Woman showed me all that she knew then

To cut himself down man’s born again.

Christine died and now I’m here alone

What I wouldn’t give to be on that wooden boat

BUTTERFLY

For once in my life I couldn’t deny

I thought that I’d found my everything,

A lover a friend, the hours we would spend just doing nothing at all,

Yeah, but your need to leave is yours alone, break free let go,

Butterfly fly, fly away from here

I know we’ll try, try through the laughter and the tears

You’ll always be a part of me

In my heart you’ll always be

Butterfly fly, fly away, fly away

Deep in your eyes the stare that I find

All that I really ever need.

Whatever I do you know that its you girl In every face I see.

Your last goodbye was yours alone break free let go,

Butterfly fly, fly away from here

I know we’ll try, try through the laughter and the tears

You’ll always be a part of me

In my heart you’ll always be

Butterfly fly, fly away, fly away

To the place you belong hope you heal the fear and soul

Hope that you can find the freedom in your life, in your life

Ahh sweet butterfly, just fly away, just fly away

I know we’ll try, try through the laughter and the tears

You’ll always be a part of me

In my heart you’ll always be

Butterfly fly, fly away, fly away

For once in my life I couldn’t deny,

I thought that I’d found my everything,

A lover a friend, the hours we would spend just doing nothing at all
