 Whatever
 (It's Good) To Be Free
 Half The World Away
 Slide Away
 
 
WHATEVER 

I'm free to be whatever I 
Whatever I choose  
And I'll sing the blues if I want 

I'm free to say whatever I 
Whatever I like 
If it's wrong or right it's alright 

Always seems to me 
You only see what people want you to see 
How long's it gonna be 
Before we get on the bus 
And cause no fuss 
Get a grip on yourself 
It dont cost much 

Free to be whatever you 
Whatever you say  
If it comes my way it's alright 

You're free to whatever you 
Whatever you please 
You can shoot the breeze if you want 

It always seems to me 
You only see what people want you to see 
How long's it gonna be 
Before we get on the bus 
And cause no fuss 
Get a grip on yourself 
It dont cost much 

I'm free to be whatever I 
Whatever I choose 
And I'll sing the blues if I want 

Here in my mind 
You know you might find 
Something that you 
You thought you once knew 
But now it's all gone 
And you know it's no fun 
Yeah I know it's no fun 
Oh I know it's no fun 

I'm free to be whatever I 
Whatever I choose 
And I'll sing the blues if i want 

I'm free to be whatever I 
Whatever I choose  
And I'll sing the blues if i want 

Whatever you do 
Whatever you say 
Yeah I know it's alright 

Whatever you do 
Whatever you say 
Yeah I know it's alright 

(IT'S GOOD) TO BE FREE 

Head like a rock spinning round and round 
I found it in a hole sitting upside down 
You point the finger at me but I don't believe 
Paint me a wish on a velvet sky 
You demand the answers but I don't know why in my mind 
There is no time 

But the little things they make me so happy 
All I want to do is live by the sea 
Little things they make me so happy 
But it's good it's good it's good to be free 

So what would you say if I said to you  
It's not in what you say it's in what you do 
You point the finger at me but I don't believe 
Bring it on home to where we found 
My head like a rock sitting upside down 
In my mind there is no time 

But the little things they make me so happy 
All I want to do is live by the sea 
Little things they make me so happy 
But it's good it's good it's good to be free 
 

HALF THE WORLD AWAY 

I would like to leave this city 
This old town don't smell too pretty and 
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind 
And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum 
And I can feel the warning signs running around my mind 

So here I go still scratching around the same old hole 
My body feels young but my mind is very old 
So what do you say?  
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway 
You're half the world away  
Half the world away 
Half the world away 
I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down. 

So here I go still scratching around in the same old hole  
My body feels young but my mind if very old 
So what do you say? 
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway 
You're half the world away 
Half the world away 
Half the world away 
I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down 
 

SLIDE AWAY 

Slide away - and give it all you've got 
My today - fell in from the top 
I dream of you - and all the things you say 
I wonder where you are now?  

Hold me down - all the world's asleep 
I need you now - you've knocked me off my feet 
I dream of you - we talk of growing old 
But you said please don't !  

Slide in baby - together we'll fly 
I've tried praying - and I know just what you're saying to me  

Now that you're mine 
I'll find a way 
Of chasing the sun 
Let me be the one that shines with you 
In the morning when you don't know what to do 
Two of a kind 
We'll find a way 
To do what we've done  

Let me be the one that shines with you 
And we can slide away.  

Slide away - and give it all you've got 
My today - fell in from the top 
I dream of you - and all the things you say 
I wonder where you are now?  

Slide in baby - together we'll fly 
I've tried praying - and I know just what you're saying to me  

Now that you're mine 
I'll find a way 
Of chasing the sun 
Let me be the one that shines with you 
In the morning when you don't know what to do 
Two of a kind 
We'll find a way 
To do what we've done
