BEST ADVENTURES (Called "Classic Adventures outside Australasia) EMI 1995 Listening (B. Canham) Listening like you did before Now you're listening no more See that girl, she's the one I want To be holding, holding me close I say, you say, weren't you listening Now it's too late, you're not listening I've said it all before So many words, but you just closed the door Did you notice the changes in me But now it's too late to see I say, you say, weren't you listening Now it's too late, you're not listening I hope you understand The feeling of freedom I demand I say, you say, weren't you listening Now it's too late, you're not listening Fast Cars (B. Canham / P. Pierre) As I'm driving home I can watch the line And I'm all alone but I do not mind As I look ahead I can see a turn Though I may be dead, I just will not learn Until I die, I won't change There's another view, as I think in time And I'm watching you from inside my mind I can only dream I've got everything It's not what it seems, I just cannot win Until I die, I won't change Fast cars are white Now I'm playing games with my speed and life And the only aim is to roll the dice As I look ahead I can see a turn Though I may be dead, I just will not learn Until I die, I won't change Fast cars are white A Beat For You (B. Canham) In my life I've many strong desires And still in all I'm reaching for the fire You never look, you never see You never notice when you're next to me But feel my heart, it's burning with desire There's a beat for you in my heart I tell you true from the start Catch a glimpse, remember it forever And still I try to keep myself together You never speak, you never hear You're never closer when I want you near But feel my heart, it's burning with desire There's a beat for you in my heart I tell you true form the start Destination Unknown (B. Canham / P. Pierre / F. Scalzo) I'm in the middle of nowhere And there's not a single thing I can do I wonder if I'll be found here Will I ever get a message to you The days are dark, the time unknown And how I got here I don't know I'd walk for miles Only there's a million miles of nothing to do I've never felt so lonely Will I ever get a message to you The days are dark, the time unknown And how I got here I don't know Destination unknown Population zero Send somebody, don't leave me alone The situation's hopeless It's a waste of time looking for clues The only thing to hope for Is that I'll somehow get a message to you The days are dark, the time unknown And how I got here I don't know Destination unknown Population zero Send somebody, don't leave me alone Dancing Until Midnight (B. Canham / T. Lugton) You're holding inside all your feelings for me The lust in your heart is so strong Remembering days when your life was so free You're questioning the right from wrong Reasons for feeling the way that you do Can justify that it's true That time of the night when a life went astray Now fingers are pointing my way They won't believe I've committed no crime And I wasn't there at the time We were dancing until midnight I'm framed, can't you see, if you don't tell them all That night we were dancing alone And now I can hear what the voices all call But I can't be heard on my own Reasons for feeling the way that you do Can justify that it's true We were dancing until midnight Don't Go (B. Canham/J. Leigh) I lie awake and I'm always shaking I know I feel a bit weak at the knees Somebody's out there And I am so scared Stay here beside me I'm begging you please Night after night I am awake Don't go Turn on the light, keep me awake Don't go I'm hearing footsteps Come to collect debts Next thing you know they'll be right at the door Don't leave me alone Disconnect the phone Next time it rings will drive me up the wall Night after night I am awake Don't go Turn on the light, keep me awake Don't go Lonely Without You (B. Canham/J. Leigh) One heart, one man's goal Can't see light in another soul Don't care for what I see Nothing matters if this can't be My love is an ocean away I can hear the waves Can you hear me pray My love is an ocean away I can hear the waves Can you hear me say My life is so lonely without you Though we're so far apart You're still close to my heart Can this be what it seems One love, one man's dream My love is an ocean away I can hear the waves Can you hear me pray My love is an ocean away I can hear the waves Can you hear me say My life is so lonely without you Love An Adventure (B. Canham) Days and the years go by Always passing time Never realise all the questions in my mind Sure I need an answer Sure I need a high But I don't anticipate I just wait till the moment's right 'Cause I love an adventure A journey into my mind Yes I love an adventure It's something to pass the time Now as I realise Nothing is enough Time is on my side Even though times can get rough Yes I need the reasons Reasons in your mind But I don't anticipate I just wait till the moment's right 'Cause I love an adventure A journey into my mind Yes I love an adventure It's something to pass the time Living In A Dream (B. Canham) Walking in a strange light, looking at the walls The walls are getting higher and I think they're gonna fall They're gonna fall down over me, crush me till I scream Now I'm only hoping that I'm living in a dream It's just a dream Fear lies over me, I feel it all around Something's looking at me and I think it's got a crown It's not a king or a queen but something in between Now I'm only hoping that I'm living in a dream It's just a dream It's strange how things seem to be different When you're living in a dream Wars and violence here happen every day But I'm in another world a million miles away It's just like real life, true life, living in a dream But everything is better then, or that's the way it seems It's just a dream It's strange how things seem to be different When you're living in a dream Try (B. Canham/J. Leigh) Once the light shined high and bright in you All your feelings were aglow Then you always knew just what to do Now you never seem to know Which way to look Which way to turn You never took the time to learn Which way to look Which way to turn Try, make it your concern You've never got the notion You've never got the time You never show emotion Why don't you try, try You have changed so much, I don't know why Won't you give this thing a go Now you never take the time to try Though I wonder if you know Which way to look Which way to turn You never took the time to learn Which way to look Which way to turn Try, make it your concern You've never got the notion You've never got the time You never show emotion Why don't you try, try Funky Town (S. Greenberg) Gotta make a move to a town that's right for me Town to keep me movin', keep me groovin' with some energy Well I talk about it talk about it talk about it talk about it Talk about talk about talk about movin' Gotta move on Gotta move on Gotta move on Won't you take me to Funky Town Won't you take me to Funky Town Won't you take me to Funky Town Won't you take me to Funky Town Fooled Again (J. Leigh/J. Leigh/V. Leigh) Things were really serious And that's what we all said We had our plans to change the views To change establishment After all that we went through We never found a way To bring in some authority So things could somehow change So if you take the world apart Hearts will be broken Don't let the revolution start God will have spoken Fooled again I was fooled again I realise and now I know The reasons why I won't let go Now we're in another time And we have different needs We don't want now what we did then We've grown up to agree There's a lesson that I've learned And that's not to pretend You've gotta learn to play the game And not get fooled again So if you take the world apart Hearts will be broken Don't let the revolution start God will have spoken Fooled again I was fooled again I realise and now I know The reasons why I won't let go Take On The World (B. Canham/V. Leigh) This kid is fast as lightning And he only knows one thing He will never stop Until he hits the top He's as hot as fire And the only desire Is to win it all And to never fall He wants to be somewhere, not just like the rest And he will be there up with the best Take on the world Running to be number one Take on the world And you should see the kid run Last night he was dreaming But today they're screaming And he's got the chance As he takes his stance Now his heart is beating As they start competing 'Cause his only place Is to win that race He wants to be somewhere, not just like the rest And he will be there up with the best Take on the world Running to be number one Take on the world And you should see the kid run Over Tomorrow (B. Canham/J. Leigh) All the time I think about it all the time Should I save it for a rainy day Or pray for more sunshine Take a chance I guess I'm gonna take a chance 'Cause I know that things can be so grey But now they seem so fine All the things you're dreaming of Are waiting here to borrow Even if just for today There may be no tomorrow Take what you can while you can Understand all the dreams that you have Tell me, will they be over tomorrow Dream about You've got a lot to dream about But a dream can be so close today And later be so far away Years away You know it may be years away Till you find just what you're searching for And maybe there's just nothing more All the things you're dreaming of Are waiting here to borrow Even if just for today There may be no tomorrow Take what you can while you can Understand all the dreams that you have Tell me, will they be over tomorrow All that you ever dream about today May never be the same again
