WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE

 

1. NEVER GROW OLD

I have a dream, strange it may seem

It was my perfect day

Open my eyes. I realise, it is my perfect day

I hope you’ll never grow old

Do Do Do, Do Do Do, Do Do Do.

Birds in the sky, they look so high

This is my perfect day

I feel the breeze I feel at ease,

It is my perfect day

I hope you’ll never grow old

Forever young, I hope you’ll stay, forever young

Do Do Do, Do Do Do, Do Do Do

 

 

2. ANALYSE

Close your eyes, close your eyes

Breath the air, out there

We are free, we can be wide open

For you opened my eyes to the beauty I see

We will pray, we will stay wide open

Don’t analyse, don’t analyse

Don’t go that way, don’t live that way

That would paralyse your evolution

La ah ah this greatest moment

La ah ah the greatest day

La ah ah the greatest love of them all

Close your eyes, close your eyes

Breath the air, out there

Fantasise, fantasise we are open

For you opened my eyes to the beauty I see

We will pray, we will stay together

La ah ah the greatest moment

La ah ah the greatest day

La ah ah the greatest love of them all.

 

 

3. TIME IS TICKING OUT

We better think about the things we say

We better about the games we play

The world went round, yeah, around and around

We better think about the consequences

We better think about the global census

If time went down, yeah, if time went down

What about Chernobyl

What about radiation

We don’t know, we don’t know

What about deprivation, gluttony, the human nation

We don’t know, we don’t know

For me love is all

Time is ticking out…

Looks like we’ve screwed up the ozone layer

I wonder if the politicians care

The dime went down, yeah, if time went down

What about our children then

Is there nothing left for them

We don’t know, we don’t know

For me love is all

I need the oxygen, I need the oxygen

For me love is all

To do do do

Time is ticking out, yeah, time is ticking out.

 

 

4. DYING INSIDE

Terrible thing, it was a terrible thing

To see her dying

It was a terrible thing, it was a terrible thing

To see her dying, inside to see her dying

Won’t you come out and play the games we played

Won’t you speak out, and say the things you’d say

The lady loved her gold, the lady lost her soul

It was a terrible thing, it was a terrible thing

To see her dying

It was a terrible thing, it was a terrible thing

To see her dying, inside, to see her dying

Do you remember, the thing we used to do

Do you remember, the way it was for you

The lady loved her gold, the lady lost her soul

It was terrible thing it was a terrible thing

To see her dying

It was a terrible thing, it was a terrible thing

To see her dying inside, to see her die

La ah, la ah, la ah.

 

 

5. THIS IS THE DAY  

I never had a friend like you, this is the day

Your skin is white, your eyes are blue, this is the day

But the wind might change, I will sting remain

I will always be there for you

Those thoughts, they circle in my mind this is the day

The demons I can’t leave behind, this is the day

Don’t be insecure, I’ll be at your door

I will always be there for you

Faith will save you, faith will save you

Faith will save you, stay safe

Par forth thy grace into my mind, this is the day

Par forth thy grace, thou art Devine, this is the day

Don’t be insecure, I’ll be at your door

I will always be there for you

Faith will save you, Faith will save you

Faith will save you stay safe

But the wind might change. I will still remain

I will still be here

But the wind might change. I will still remain

I will always be there for you

Faith will save you, faith will save you

Faith will save you, stay safe

 

6. THE CONCEPT  

Come here my lover, something’s on your mind?

Listen to no other, they could be unkind

Hold on to the concept of love, always darling

Hold on to the concept of love, always

Take life between us, live it like we choose

They’ll never see us, I will hear you call

Hold on to the concept of love, always, darling

Hold on to the concept of love, always

Night all night, all night

Night all night, all night

Night all night, all night

Night all night, all night.

 

 

7. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE

I, I went to hell, I might as well learn by my mistakes

I, at twenty-four, was insecure, do whatever it takes

Come on and wake up. (wake up, wake up

Shut up, shut up Shut up, shut up

It’s time, smell the coffee, the coffee)

She’s only got one reason to live, this is your life

She’s only got one message to give, give it tonight

She’s so gorgeous. I’ll do anything

She’s so gorgeous. I’ll lose everything

Any day!

Come on then wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

Shut up, shut up Shut up, shut up

It’s time, smell the coffee, the coffee

She’s only got one reason to live, this your life

She’s only got one message to give, give it tonight

She’s so gorgeous. I’ll do anything

She’s so gorgeous, I’ll lose everything

Any day!


8. PRETTY EYES  

Pretty eyes, pretty eyes

Not a cloud in my day

Not a cloud in my way

Angel eyes, no disguise

No pretension, is here

No pretension, no fear

Don’t leave me calling

Don’t leave me falling

Stay a while, stay a while

I will tell you my mind

I will tell you my mind

I would give everything, just to take all your pain

Just to take all your pain

Don’t leave calling

Don’t leave me falling

 

 

9. I REALLY HOPE

I’ve been down this road before

Now I’m coming back for more

This is like a déjà vu, I was born to be with you

Into the night we went to sleep

You and I were meant for keeps

Into the night, we went to play, You and I

(I really hope you’ll always be, so in love with me

I really hope we’ll always stay, so attached this way)

So beware of the pitfall

We don’t have to change at all

And our light will not burn out

It’s what freedom’s all about

Into the night we’ll go to sleep

You and I are meant for keep

Into the night well go to play

You and I

I really hope you’ll always be, so in love with me

I really hope we’ll always stay, so attached this way

I really hope you’ll always be, so in love with me

I really hope we’ll always stay, so attached this way

I really hope that we’ll always be here

I really hope that we’ll always be near

Take me and break me. I’ll always be here

I really hope that you’ll always be near

 

   

10. EVERY MORNING

My god the years have passed me by

Where was I hiding

I’ve been around the world for some time

Its oblivious now

The morning sun is in my eyes

It doesn’t hide the lines

It does not bare a great disguise

Happy birthday baby, happy birthday

Every morning, every morning in time

We’re doing fine

I don’t remember being young

Was it so much fun

I don’t remember feeling this free

It was not for me

I paid a prince, sacrificed, it was worth it then

My time has come I now feel young, begin again

Happy birthday

Every morning, every morning in time

We’re doing fine.

 

 

11. DO YOU KNOW

Be here a while, might as well smile

Might as well smile

I will be strong, will carry on

And I’ll always hold on to my smile

What would you say, would you say that I’m sad

For feeling this way, ow!

What would you do if you were in my shoes

In mine

Do you know what I think

Do you know what I think about it, about it

I guess you don’t know anything

You don’t know anything, about it, about it

Dust in my eyes, I realise that I’m thinking of you

I’ll take my car. I will go far and I’ll be lonely for you

What would you say, would you say that I’m sad

For feeling this way, ow!

What would you do if you were in my shoes

In mine

Do you know what I think

Do you know what I think about it, about it

I guess you don’t know anything

You don’t know anything, about it, about it…

 

 

12. CARRY ON

I didn’t understand the things you’re going through

I never understood, I really never knew

Carry on, carry on, carry on

The sun will always shine

Carry on, carry on , carry on

We’ll have a glass of wine or a cigarette

Take destiny by the hand and lead it far away

Take it to another land, we will all decay

Carry on, carry on, carry on

The sun will always shine

Carry on, carry on, carry on

We’ll have a glass of wine or a cigarette

 

 

13. CHOCOLATE BROWN

But I tried and I sighed

He didn’t listen to me, I felt that way

Still I tried and I sighed

He wouldn’t understand me, I felt that way

But you’re so young and you don’t get me now

I feel so guilty and you are Chocolate Brown

Chocolate Brown, I can’t play

Not too long, I will make it up to you

Chocolate Brown

Still I learn and I learn

There’s so much to think about you

So much to lose

But it’s just so fine and you don’t see it now

Don’t make me guilty

Please don’t Chocolate Brown

Chocolate Brown, I can’t play

Not too long I will make it up to you

Chocolate Brown.

 

 

14. SALVATION

(Live In Paris)

 

15. IN THE GHETTO

(Elvis Cover)

 As the snow flies, on a cold and grey Chicago mornin' 

A poor little baby child is born

 In the ghetto 

And his mama cries

 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need 

It's another hungry mouth to feed

 In the ghetto 

 

People, don't you understand 

The child needs a helping hand 

Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day 

Take a look at you and me,

 Are we too blind to see, 

Or do we simply turn our heads and look the other way?

 Well the world turns 

And a hungry little boy with the runny nose

 Plays in the street as the cold wind blows 

In the ghetto 

 

And his hunger burns 

So he starts to roam the streets at night

 And he learns how to steal 

And he learns how to fight 

In the ghetto 

Then one night in desperation

 The young man breaks away 

He buys a gun, steals a car, tries to run,

 But he don't get far 

And his mama cries 

 

As a crowd gathers round an angry young man

 Face down in the street with a gun in his hand

 In the ghetto 

And as her young man dies, 

On a cold and grey Chicago mornin' 

Another little baby child is born

 In the ghetto 

And his mama cries

 In the ghetto

 In the ghetto
