Heat Of The Night


I was caught in the crossfire of a silent scream 
Where one man's nightmare is another man's dream 
Pull the covers up high and pray for the mornin' light 
Cause you're livin' alone in the heat of the night 

Met a man with a message from the other side 
Couldn't take the pressure - had to leave it behind 
He said it's up to you 
You can run or you can fight - (ya that's right) 
Better leave it alone in the heat of the night 

In the heat of the night they'll be comin' around 
They'll be lookin' for answers they'll be chasin' you down 
In the heat of the night 
(Where you gonna hide when it all comes down) 
(Don't look back don't ever turn around) 

Had to pay the piper to call the tune 
Said he'd be back someday - said he'd be back real soon 
Pull the shades down low - you'll know when the time is right 
When you're lyin' alone in the heat of the night 


                               Into The Fire


Life - thin as a thread 
Sometimes you're lucky 
Sometimes you're better off dead 

Your first breath is taken and in to the world you are cast 
You long for tomorrow while living each day as your last 

Well I know what your heart desires 
But you can't take it with you 
Into the fire 

Now you've done all you can 
Your life's at the crossroads 
You watch as it slips through your hands 

So stand on the mountain and shout in vain at the sky 
But nobody hears you - the words only echo inside 
Oh shelter the flame - it may expire 
Risin' up from the ashes 
Into the fire 

Just hold on to your life down to the wire 
Oh out from the dragon's jaws 
Into the fire 

There's a moment in every man's life 
When he must decide what is wrong and what's right 

You could wait for your dreams to come true 
But time has no mercy 
Time won't stand still for you 

Well I know what your heart desires 
Crawlin' out from the wreckage 
Into the fire 

Here I go...into the fire 
I know...what your heart desires 


                            Victim Of Love


Livin' on your own can be a lonely game 
A face in the crowd - no one knows your name
It’s a table for one and a broken heart to go 

She's the kind of lover that you always dreamed 
Would come to stay and never wanna leave 
But that's all changed - she's dealt the final blow
Heaven knows what you were thinkin' of 
Don't blame yourself you're just a victim of love 

It doesn't matter who was right or wrong 
When the fire is over - when the magic's gone
You pick up the pieces and do the best you can 

It knocks you down but you try it again 
You get a little older it's a cryin' shame 
Sometimes things don't work out like you plan 

Who's gonna help when you've had enough 
It ain't no secret you're a victim of love 
Heaven knows what you were thinkin' of 
Don't blame yourself you're just a victim of love 

One goodbye was really all it took 
Now you thumb through the pages of your little black book
But somehow all the numbers look the same 
You've been thinkin' how to get around it 
But there ain't nothin' you can do about it 
Nothin' ventured - nothin' gained 

Ain't nothin' you can't rise above 
Call it what you want but you're a victim of love

Who's gonna help you when you've had enough 
Ain't no secret you're a victim of love 

I don't wanna lose your love... 


                              Another Day


Woke up lyin' on the floor 
Can't recall the night before 
Oh - another day 

Outside it's cold and damp 
Unemployment cheque is spent 
Yeah - another day 

Some people never know 
You can't just let it go 
Or try and work it out some other way 
Some people never learn 
My life ain't their concern 
And nothin's gonna change come what may 

Had a job but it fell through 
Landlord says the rent is due 
Oh - another day 

They say the best in life is free 
But if you don’t pay then you don’t eat 
Oh - another day 

I guess I'll never know 
You can't just let it go 
Or try to work it out some other way 

Some people never learn 
Their life ain't my concern 
Ain't nothin' gonna change come what may

Grass looks greener on the other side 
But I can't get there my hands are tied 
And if I do don't be surprised 
Oh - gotta figure it out another day 



                                Native Son


I've seen many moons through these wrinkled eyes 
The years have made me old but they've made me wise 
Now the white man lives where our rivers run 

For now better days have passed 
We walk the streets of broken glass 
Our people vanished as snow before the summer sun 
Like dogs we were driven from this place 
Such injustice, time will not erase 
All these changes cannot be undone 

When you feel the anger inside of you 
Hold your head high - let your aim be true 
Though your heart beats like a drum 
My native son 

Once there was a time my little one 
Before the wagons - before the soldiers' guns 
When this land was ours as far as the eagle flies 

No white flag - no broken truce 
With few words one can speak the truth - I don't hear it
Time won't heal it now 

With each new day that comes to pass 
Will the great spirit free us all at last? 
He said we were the chosen ones 

For all we had there's nothin' left 
We won’t forgive - we can't forget 
You know that your day will come 
My native son 

With each new day that comes to pass 
Will the great spirit free us all at last? 
What has happened can never be undone 

When I was young - not yet a man 
The sun rose and set upon our land 
We were the chosen ones 
My native son

                       Only The Strong Survive


When the pressure's on and you're all alone
Take a little ride into the danger zone 
When the moon is up and the skies are clear 
Just show me a sign and we'll be outa here 
Take me up on a wing and a prayer 
If you need a friend you know I'll be there

Hound dogs howlin' all through the night 
Eight miles high and I'm doin' alright 
Better move over 'cause you're goin' too slow
I feel the need for freedom now it's time to go 

It's a fine line between pleasure and pain 
Let your conscience be your guide 'til we meet again 

Your time has come - you can stand or you can run 
But don't keep it all inside 
Cause you gotta understand that there ain't no second chance
No-one gets outa here alive - only the strong survive 

Tearin' it up goin' down the track 
Gonna fly so high, I might never come back
If things get tough you can count me in 
Cause if you play the game you gotta play to win 

Take me up where only angels can fly 
If you need a helpin' hand I won't pass you by 

Your time has come - you can stand or you can run 
But don't keep it all inside 
Cause you gotta understand that there ain't no second chance 
No-one gets outa here alive - only the strong survive 

Solo

Take me up on a wing and a prayer 
If you need someone you know I'll be there 

Your time has come - you can stand or you can run 
But don't keep it all inside
Cause you gotta understand that there ain't no second chance 
No-one gets outa here alive 

Only the strong survive 
Only the strong survive 
Well I'm doin' what I can - you gotta understand 
Only the strong survive 


                                         Rebel


He made his way back to the old town 
And everything looked just the same 
The shops and the schools and the factories were there 
But somehow the faces had changed 

So he went for a walk in the high street 
Took his coat off and rolled up his sleeves 
He thought of his father and his father before him
And how he was the first one to leave 

Well he didn't come here for forgiveness
There isn't a lot they can say 
Cause I remember the reasons he first ran away

He's a rebel
Just a rebel 
Got his back to the wall 
Gonna fight 'til he falls 
He's a rebel 

Don't ever look back - don't surrender 
The old men say they've seen it before 
Oh they drink their beer and they talk about friends
Who didn't come back from the war 

Don't say he's too young to remember 
Don't tell him what's wrong or what's right
Just give him a chance to get out there and fight 

He's a rebel 
Just a rebel 
All the battles are won 
But he's still on the run 
He's a rebel 

When it comes time for leavin' 
Don't stand in my way 
There's nothin' left for me here 
Gonna run, run away 

In the morning he walks past the old house 
In the rain under grey northern sky 
There's a new coat of paint on the front garden gate 
But there's more there than first meets the eye 

For a moment he stands undecided 
Looking back on the days of his youth 
As two worlds collide in a moment of truth 

He's a rebel 


                             Remembrance Day


For our king and our country and the promise of glory 
We came from Kingston and Brighton to fight on the front line 

Just lads from the farms and boys from the cities
Not meant to be soldiers we lay in the trenches 

We'd face the fighting with a smile - or so we said 
If only we had known what danger lay ahead 

The sky turned to grey as we went into battle 
On the fields of Europe young men were fallin' 

I'll be back for you someday - it won't be long 
If I can just hold on 'til this bloody war is over 

The guns will be silent on Remembrance Day 
There'll be no more fighting on Remembrance Day

By October of 18 Cambrai had fallen 
Soon the war would be over and we'd be returnin' 

Don't forget me while I'm gone far away 
Well it won't be long 'till I'm back there in your arms again 

One day soon - I don't know when 
You know we'll all be free and the bells of peace will ring again 

The time will come for you and me 
We'll be goin' home when this bloody war is ended 

The guns will be silent on Remembrance Day 
We'll all say a prayer on Remembrance Day 

On Remembrance Day - say a little prayer 
On Remembrance Day

Well the guns will be silent 
There'll be no more fighting 
Oh we'll lay down our weapons 
On Remembrance Day 


                                Hearts On Fire


Some other time 
Some other place 
We might not 've 'bin here 
Standin' face to face 

I just wanna tell ya 
Made up my mind 
You know I can't help the way I feel inside

Oh this heart's on fire 
Right from the start it's bin burnin' for you 
Oh this heart's on fire 
One thing honey - this heart's true

The streets are empty 
The lights are down 
Ain’t nothin' movin' 
This side of town 

So come on over 
I ain't hard to please 
Oh baby - what you get ain't always what you need 

Oh this heart's on fire 
It's gettin' hotter now can't you see 
Oh this heart's on fire 
From now on babe it's gonna be you and me 

Risin' to my feet I can feel the heat 
It's tryin' to pull me under 
Runnin' through the night we can make it right
It's comin' on like thunder 

Some got it good some got it bad 
But you're the best I ever had 
I never worry you're so fine 
From now on babe I'm gonna be by your side 


                                  Home Again


When I was younger 
My life was torn asunder 
And I was carried far away 

Now somewhere in the distance 
I feel a strange insistance 
I long to be there once again 

The day is drawing nearer 
The time has come to leave here
The feeling just keeps gettin' stronger every day

So I pray for the moment when I'll be with you 
And all that we hoped for is all comin' true 
When the time we've spent waitin' is finally through 
I'll be home again 

I can still remember 
Days that never ended 
Standin' on a distant shore 

With every raindrop fallin' 
I hear the thunder callin' 
Like so many times before 

Sometimes in the darkness 
I hear what my heart says 
Maybe one day I'll know what that feelings for 

So I wait for the moment when I'll be with you 
And all that we hoped for is all comin' true
The time we've spent waitin' is finally through 
I'll be home again 

When you're out there on your own 
It can chill you to the bone 
There's a cold wind blowin' 
But it feels good knowin' 
The worst is over now - I'm finally goin' home 

It's gettin' stronger 
Can't wait any longer
