OUT
OF MY CONTROL
The
empty conversation
The coldness of your touch
The moments of frustration
That always hurt so much
The look in your eyes that seems to say
Nothing’s ever enough
Well it seems like I’ve tried every way
To give you all my love
But it’s out
of my control
It’s all up to you
Yes, it’s out of my control
What you gonna do
Everything I say, everything I do
Never seems to satisfy you
So I’ll say it again, I’m gonna let you go
It’s up to you
‘Cause it’s out of my control
I’ve felt this
strange resistance
To the things I’ve said and done
And I’ve tried to keep my distance
I knew there was something wrong
But without communication
Without a message from your heart
There’s only empty expectation
And a love that’s torn apart
YOU'VE
GOT IT (THE AMERICAN DREAM)
One
by one, two by two
We all step out into the human zoo
Three by three and four by four
We’ve all got ours but we still want more
Six by six and five by five
It’s success we want, dead or alive
Seven by seven, eight by eight
I’m alright jack and I ain’t gonna wait
It’s real fright,
it’s real white
It’s in your neighbourhood tonight
It ain’t cheap, it’s no escape
It’s here and now, the devil’s rape
You want it, you’ve
got it
It’s all yours, the American dream
It’s in the
air, it’s in the street
Just one hit, your image complete
I know ‘cause I’ve already been there
An empty pocket and an empty head
No-one listens to a word you’ve said
Just give it up and dish it out
They’ll make you think that they really care
THE
FINAL SOLUTION
So
the game goes on and on
Still no way of telling right from wrong
Who will deal the killing blow
And who will be the first to go
Your life, my life
So full of love so short of sight
Awaiting execution
The final solution
See the players and
the game
Win or lose it’s still the same
Pain and death are up for sale
And no-one lives to tell the tale
I know you don’t
know me
So what are you trying to show me
You’re dealing so much sorrow
Who said you could have my tomorrow
IT'S
UP TO YOU
Twisted
images and broken promises
One long crisis day after day
Hidden secrets and empty words
Without any truth to light the way
Is that what love
is ...
You won’t stop
trying but you can’t stop crying
You say you’re looking but you still can’t see
You throw the cards and you read the stars
But only love can make it what you want it to be
Because
You know what love
is ...
It’s up to you
Only you can make it grow
It’s up to you
Hold on tight, don’t let it go, oh no!
You think you’re
somewhere but you’re going nowhere
It’s all an illusion, or that’s what you say
There’s always a risk in an affair of the heart
If depends on the price you’re prepared to pay
I know what love
is ...
FINNEY'S
TALE
Finney
was a fighter
He had both feet on the ground
He was a regular guy just like you and me
But Finney’s change of fortune
Waited just around the corner
He was just about to meet his destiny
Well, they picked
him off the streets
And put him straight into the light
Said we’re gonna name
The series after you
We’re gonna show them
How a loser turned into a winner
Go on Finney, show ‘em what you can do
Well it all went
as planned
He was an overnight success
And year after year
Was filled with promise
He had all that he required
But it wasn’t all his heart desired
And he sometimes found it hard
Just being honest
Fame is fortune’s
prison
It’s so easy getting in
But it’s a different story
Trying to change direction
So Finney turned to drinking
And he started his downhill slide
Just another lost to add to life’s collection
And of course they
all put Finney down
Said he’d lost all his ambition
But to me he was a giant among men
For out of all his heartache
And his see-through reputation
Finney just wanted to be Finney again
La la la …
I
CLOSE MY EYES
When
I think about
The distance between us
And how hard it is
At times here on my own
Then I think about your smile
About our love a little while
I close my eyes and I'm not alone
Though my footsteps
fall
My heart won't ever stumble
Through a thousand miles a day
My love won't tire
For with each passing day
I pray that our love is here to stay
I close my eyes and I'm not alone
Sometimes I whisper
your name
Or dream awhile a lonely lovers' game
All I'm trying to say
Is that I love you in my way
And though the days seem long
I'll soon be coming home
As I leave my song
My heart belongs to you, my love
There really are no more words
That I can find
For my love, you are my life
You are the colour in my sight
And I close my eyes
And kiss you goodnight
A
LITTLE PIECE OF ME (JULIA'S SONG)
It
makes me laugh to see you smile
And I’m so sad when you cry
And it’s easy to see, this came to be
‘Cause you’re a little piece of me
Once upon a time,
I really wondered
If you were gonna happen at all
But in the back of my mind
There you were all the time
And now you’re on my knee
Well, your momma
and me
We wondered and we prayed
And your little heart grew stronger
As we waited for your day
You were a little late arriving
So we took some time deciding on your name
Julia …
FREE
SPIRIT
When
I was young
And my spirit was free to ride
No-one I knew had anything to hide
But all of this is changing with the days
I walked into a disillusioned maze
Those lazy, crazy,
mellow, yellow days
Are lost in a so-called sophisticated haze
And I can still remember being care-free
And no one knows it better than me
‘Cause I’m
a free spirit
And I’m looking for a place to run
A free spirit on the wind
And a free spirit needs to be complete
I’ve got to have the world at my feet
Now my time has come
and
I’m dealing with here and now
And I’m gonna have to
Take care of it somehow
And I don’t intend to wait
For the cover of night
The only way I know is
To stand up and fight
I’m a free spirit
And I’m looking for a place to run
A free spirit on the wind
And a free spirit needs to be complete
I’ve got to have the world at my feet
MOVIN'
IN
I’ve
been standing on the edge
For a little too long
Waiting for the door to be opened
I’ve been hanging on the brink, biding my time
Wondering if the spell would be broken
I’ve seen a million words
Of wisdom lost in the wind
Heard the voices of
The desperate and the dreamers
And I knew that any moment
They’d be calling my name
To see if I was ready for the game
So I’m moving,
moving in the for kill
Got a date with a man
Who says he’ll watch me fall
Gonna take this chance
I’m moving in for the kill
This time I’m gonna have it all
I’m moving in
And I won’t make no mistake
For the kill
I’m gonna see what I can take
I’m moving in
Now that my time’s come around
For the kill
I’m going up and I’m never coming down
Got the songs in
my pocket, the ideas in my head
I’m looking for a little inspiration
It isn’t just the money that gets me out of bed
I’ve got to have a little motivation
I ain’t got no grand illusion
I’m better than the rest
But there’s a fire in my heart
That makes me wanna be the best
I’ve got my finger on the trigger
I know where I wanna be
And everything is ready as far as I can see
Moving in ... For
the kill ...
LET
ME BE ME
Well,
I tried to do it your way
And I tried to do it right
But no matter what I do
It seems it’s different every night
And I tried to do it their way
Tried to play by all their rules
But nine times out of ten
I’d find I’m meddling with fools
There’s a whole
lotta people out there
Telling me what’s wrong
But when it comes right down to it
I’ll do what must be done
Let me be me, like
black is black
And you are you
Let me be me, stop trying to
Change my point of view
Let me be free to live my life
The way I choose
Well, you don’t
even talk to me
All you do is dictate
You never learned to give
‘Cause it’s much easier to take
You wake up in the morning
And you bow to the machine
But I won’t worship anything
Just because it’s green
You can take your
Narrow-minded theories and run
‘Cause when it comes right down to it
I’ll do what must be done
Let me be me …
I
DON'T WANNA WAIT
I
don’t wanna wait until tomorrow
I don’t wanna wait another day
I don’t wanna live with all this sorrow
I’ll just have to find another way
Seeing as how you’ve
kept me
Hanging around for all this time
Playing with my mind and leaving
All our love behind
Well it’s time
for a decision
Should I stay or should I go
I need our love to grow
But there’s so much I need to know
‘Cause in my
heart and in my head
Are thoughts of how it used to be
But a world of memories
Is only emptiness to me
And it’s not
a false illusion
I can see what’s going on
If the magic’s really gone
Then this is not where I belong
And I ask myself
the questions
That confusion seems to bring
While the answers stay so thin
Upon the ground where I begin
TELL
ME
Tell
me, tell me, tell me
Am I the one you love
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Is it me you’re thinking of
Tell me, tell me,
tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me true
Please don’t
keep me waiting
Don’t keep me hanging on
I’m through with mild persuading
I’ve been standing still too long
Tell me, tell me,
tell me, tell me, tell me
All I’m trying to do is find the truth
All I’m asking you to do is help me
Just one time so I can make my move
I WON’T CHANGE
Included only on
special limited edition.
Don’t keep me running around
I’m trying to keep my feet on the ground
Stop filling my heart with empty dreams
‘Cause, deep down, I’m a regular guy
I laugh a lot but I know how to cry
I don’t wanna be anyone else but me
And I won’t
change
I’ll just try to stay the same
And if you feel a difference
It’s in what you choose to see
Some of those changes
Are a little too hard for me
So I pray my love will see me through
The next step isn’t
easy to find
‘Cause with all this love on my mind
All that I can think about is you
If all you’re asking is a little more time
If all you need is to make up your mind
I can only remind you that I love you
