1. The Sun Always Shines On TV	(Extended Version)

*Touch me
  How can it be
  Believe me
  The sun always shines on T.V.
  Hold me
  Close to your heart
  Touch me
  And give all your love to me

To me

I reached inside myself and found 
Nothing there to ease the pressure
Off my ever worrying mind, oh
All my powers waste away
I fear the crazed and lonely looks
The mirror's sending me these days, oh

(*Repeat)

Please don't ask me to defend
The shameful lowlands of the way
I'm drifting gloomily through time, oh
I reached inside myself today
Thinking there's got to be some way
To keep the troubles distant

(*Repeat)

Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
To me

2. Driftwood

Oh come pity me, a poor old sailor
Stranded on this love
Here I lie like driftwood, honey
Is this what I've become

*I go high over, down under
 At a lady's will, under you

**At a lady's will
    I'm drifting still
    I'm drifting still

So I ask in fading innocence
And all my full rage
Will your hands still touch me
When my face has fallen in with age

(*Repeat)

High over, down under
At a lady's will, under you

(**Repeat)

High over, down under
At a lady's will
High over, down under
At a lady's will

3. Take On Me	(Extended Version)

§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§

Notice that the lyrics to this song which are published in "Road Club", "45 RPM Club" and the album "Hunting High And Low" are different. From a personal point of view, I feel that among the 3 that I've compiled, the one that is in my lyrics webpage of "Hunting High And Low" is the closest to accuracy.

§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§

We're talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today is another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be comin' for your love, OK?

*Take on me (Take on me)
  Take me on (Take on me)
  I'll be gone
  In a day or two

So needless to say
I'm odds and ends but I'm me!
But that's me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry

(*Repeat)

Oh the things that you say
Is it life or just to play 
My worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

**Take on me (Take on me)
    You're shying away
    I'll be gone in a day

(**Repeat)

Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
(Repeat and fade)
