LONG PLAYS        EMI   1987


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


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


Stranger In Me (B. Canham)

I stand alone as I look at you
Then I become not one, but two
You think you understand my mind
But there's another half inside

Hiding behind what you think is only me
You seem so blind, how will you ever see

It's complicated, not clear to see
My personality's a stranger to me
It's not related, how can this be
My personality's a stranger in me
Stranger in me, in me

We're side by side and the sense is strong
I get the feeling that it won't be long
We seem alone in this mist and glare
But there's a stranger here somewhere

Hiding behind what you think is only me
You seem so blind, how will you ever see

It's complicated, not clear to see
My personality's a stranger to me
It's not related, how can this be
My personality's a stranger in me
Stranger in me, in me


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


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


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


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
