Better Unsaid

There's things I've done
Theres' things I haven't done
And things I've said
That should've stayed thoughts in my head

But I love you baby
You're the one that makes me
Some things are left better unsaid

There's things I want
And there's things that I don't want
And things that please
That would have you down on your knees
But I love you lady
You're the one that saves me
Some things are left better unsaid
Better not said, better not read, better unsaid

There's things I choose
Some things I win, I lose
And then there's you
I love everything about you
Yeah I love you lady
You're the one that makes me
Some things are left better unsaid
Better not said, better not read, better unsaid
And I will always love you.
Yeah, I will always love you
Yeah, I will always love you

80's Love Songs Make you Happy
Sometimes all you need to feel

Are 80's love songs from a film

And songs that go high at a point

What's the point you say? What's the point?

Well they make you happy

Sometimes all we need still

Are lighted candles on singing hills

And clouds that soar high in the sky

How d'you feel my friend? How d'you feel?

Does it make you happy?

Make you happy? Make you happy?

Does it make you happy?

There is a truth they say love heals

Are our favourite love songs forgotten pills?

And fancy footwork on the floor

Do you care at all? Do you care?

If it makes you happy

Make you happy? Make you happy?

Does it make you happy?

(Our lives are forgiven, our lives are forgiven)

Drinking For Two

I could string you a line

Make you think that I'm alright

Cos I've been drinking for two

What am I to do? If I'm not with you?

And you just stand there looking blurred

While I try remembering all the words that I've not heard

But I've been drinking since three

Oh deary me, oops oh deary me

When love sinks without trace

And all that's left is that look on your face

Cos I've been drinking for two

What am I to do? If I'm not with you?

It's like I'm talking in my sleep

I keep on saying things that I don't really mean

But I've been drinking for you

Some for you, and then some for me too

And then you show me your back

And so I just sneak a bit of my kebab

And now I'm dancing one ice

But can what am I do to impress you?

When love sinks without trace

And all that's left is that look on your face

Of disgust, mistrust and unhappiness

And nothing more, and nothing less

When love sinks without trace

And all that's left is that look on your face

Cos I've been drinking for two

What am I to do? If I'm not with you?

Love sinks without trace

Hello You
I have not met you
But I've met the ones that look like you
Or at least in my head
We have not spoken
But I've thought of all I want to say
To you, on that day

I've been alone with you before
In my mind, and I am sure
That I will meet you soon
And as I greet you I will say
That you look lovely that way
And I will say as I do now
Hello you, hello you, hello us

I have not met you
But I've met the ones that seem like you
And we've laughed and we've cried
We have not talked yet
But I think of you, where are you now?
Are we closer tonight?
I've been alone with you before
You hold the key, you can open doors
And you will be here soon
And I as greet you I will say
That you look lovely that way
And I will say as I do now
Hello you, hello you, hello us

Love All Those That Love You
And so you like awake in bed
Think of all the things you hadn't said
Does it make you feel better?
Does it make it go away?
Well try and move on from that feeling
Think of all that's good outside
You can see love in a letter
And in a picture in their eyes

(Love all those that love you)

And now as you remember all they said
On the first day that you met
How you never will forget them
And they will walk with you for life
But try and find a different meaning
love the people at your side
Learn to love then, live their moments
Watch them go on in a child's eyes

And love all those that love you
Think of all the things that make you smile
Love all those that love you
And want you to be happy all the while

You hear your song
You feel the love that's gone
Maybe they're somewhere up there looking down upon you

You're lost, forlorn
But the future will be wronged
If you let this pain go round and round inside you

Love all those that love you

My Favourite Thing
Taking my time
To show you what's mine
Can I make you a promise
That I can't keep
Can I string you a line?
Now you're in too deep

Ready, let's go
To a place I know
Can I buy you a drink
Where there make it free
But when I leave, you're coming with me

You're my favourite thing,
You're not too clever, you're not too clever
You're my favourite thing
You're not too clever, I dare say ever

A fortune, some lie
But there's an alibi
I still joke and you laugh
There's no autograph
We all fantasize

You're my favourite thing,
You're not too clever, you're not too clever
You're my favourite thing
You're not too clever, I dare say ever

My Turn

If it's my turn to rescue you, I will

You've always been there for me and I feel

I will put my arms around you, surround you

I feel nothing but love for you

I look at the way you look at me some days

How can I fail to feel something?

If you let me into your life I can help you

You've always been there for me (please let me in)

You've always been a friend for me (please let me in)

If it's my turn to share the pain you feel I will

I've loved you from the very first time that I saw you

And now you've nowhere to go

And no-one you know will help you, let me help you

You've always been there for me

You've always been a friend for me

I look at the way you look at me some days

How can I fail to feel something?

If you let me into your life I can help you

You've always been there for me (please let me in)

You've always been a friend for me (please let me in)

Something Better Than This
I sing you a love song
I know that it won't be long
Before we fall apart
And we break our hearts
That look in your eyes
I can see the signs
I'm not all you want
Is there someone else?

In my mind I'm on my knees
I'm begging, begging, please
I want for something good
Or something better than this

I can see that it's all wrong
What we had is all long gone
Are we all at sea?
Or is that only me?
A smile then you realise
There's nothing there
And we can't disguise
We're not what we want
How did we get to this?

Oh I want for simple things
For love and all it brings
I want for something real
Something better than this

In my mind I'm on my knees
I'm praying, begging, please
I want for something pure
Or something better than this
Something better than this

Still Feelings Inside

Still feelings inside, I want you beside me

There's love that survives

Why can't you decide?

How can you not chose me?

This love still won't die

I need you tonight

Oh why can't we just be?

There's love that's alive

And nothing to hide

Is that what you tell me?

Does not heart not ask why?

Does your love not wonder why?

I need you tonight

Be all that we can be

This love just won't die

I need you that's right

Oh why can't we just be?

There's love that survives

(There's feelings inside, still feelings inside)

Why can you not lie?

Pretend that we can be?

This love, this love still won't die

I need you tonight

Be all that we can be

This love still won't die

I need you that's right

Oh why can't we just be?

There's love that survives

(There's feelings inside, still feelings inside)

The Best Translator In the World
When I don't know all that I'm saying, some times
And I don't know all that I'm wanting from my life
You understand me
You see the real me

And you, you make me into all things better
You, you translate me into all that I can be
You really understand me

When I don't know all that I'm thinking and what's right
Andy I don't know all that I'm drinking and its night
You see right through me
You see the real me

And you, you make me into all things better
You, you translate me into all that I can be
You really understand me

And I have another song about you that tells you that I
I have another song about you that tells you that I
I have another song about you that tells you that I care

And you, you make me into all things better
You, you translate me into all that I can be
You really understand me

The Dreamer's Life
If all my dreams could come true
I would live my life with you
I would be there at your side
We would live each others lives
Has our time just passed us by?
Is there a reason as to why?
But I can't understand this truth
All the lines of my life run to you
You're beautiful in all the things you do
So tonight I'll say goodbye
Wait for tomorrow's lonely nights
But I can't understand, how can you?
When we're so beautiful and I belong with you

Ah, is this a fantasy, a never meant to be, the dreamer's life for me?
Ah, is this a fantasy, a never meant to be, the dreamer's life for me?
Why can't I be the one to hold you?
Why can't you be the one that holds me?
Are the lies of this life coming true?
but we're so beautiful and I belong with you

Is this a fantasy, a never meant to be, the dreamer's life for me?
Is this a fantasy, a never meant to be, the dreamer's life for me?
Why can't I be the one to hold you?
Why can't you be the one that holds me?
Are the lies of this life coming through?
But we're so beautiful and I belong with you

This Song Explains Me (Well Maybe)
I'm a curious mix of a fool and somebody cool
I'm an original thinker but a hard nosed drinker and all
I'm a little whacked out but I think it's time
To walk this earth and claim what's mine
And be all I've wanted to be
I'm serious, a purist, but I'm a hedonistic tourist, I feel free
And I'm lighter, I'm darker, I'm harder but I'm kinder hopefully
I've been a second class man but it pays just fine
And I've waited for years standing in this line
And me, do you like what you see?

This song, this song, this song
This song, this song, this song
Explains me (well maybe)

I've some dubious ways for a man who thinks that he can
And I'm used to reading lighter but I aspire to be being brighter, its just more me
I am a music man now with some words and a rhyme
I've got my running shoes on and the clearest of minds
And you? hello, how do you do?

This song, this song, this song
This song, this song, this song
Explains me (well maybe)

Try Without Pride
Look where we begun
And what's we've become
Can you really believe
We've been here before?
We wanted much more
And we gave it our all
Are we all lost at sea
Was it never meant to be?
Secrets and lies
In a world without lines
We can make this thing work
If we try with our minds
And we try without pride

A love built on sand?
A house with no land?
But still there's a past
A forever that could last
And look at us now
The tears are allowed
We can turn the big corner
We can make the seasons
Secrets and lies
In a world without ties
We can make this thing work
If we try with our minds
And we try without pride

What You Deserve
I love it when our faces collide
And the kisses that go on forever
And I love it when you're by my side
And when we do the things that we do so well
But I don't feel like I know you
It feels like it's all a pretend
And when I look into your big blues eyes now
I wonder how this will end

Because you deserve to be loved

You deserve to be loved
You deserve to be loved

You deserve to be loved

This really is a passionate thing

Every time that we are together

And I love it when you do those things

It really is the ultimate pleasure

But I don't think that's its ok

I've thought that so many times

But maybe you're just the same as me

That's why we don't say goodbyes

But you deserve to be loved

You deserve to be loved

Where The Brave Dare Not Go
I'm on a high, I wanna get out of here
Ride my wave, I cannot feel any fear
I wanna know, all I've wanted, to know
I wanna go-go-go where the brave dare not go

I want to run like I'm shot from a gun

Go to a place, the other side of the sun

I want to see, all the land, all that's grown

I wanna go-go-go where the brave dare not go

I wanna fly in the aeroplane sky

I wanna feel like I'm towering high

I want to see all the land, all that's known

I wanna go-go-go where the brave dare not go

Touch my skin, I'm not afraid of anything

When I'm knocked down, I make the lion's sound

I want to soar like an eagle in flight

And survey the vast prairy tonight

I want to see all the land, all that's shown

I wanna go-go-go where the brave dare not go

I see a dorsil fin, but there's no trouble I'm in

And I feel so proud, I make the lion's sound

I want to feel like a king in my time

And bang some drums until my senses aren't mine

I want to feel all I can, all that's known

I wanna go-go-go where the brave dare not go

Touch my skin, I'm not afraid of anything

When I'm knocked down, I make a lion's sound

When the Angels Call

I could sing you a little song

To try and tell you what you mean to me

But then the words could come out wrong

And I would just confuse

But you matter more, you mattter more to me

More than anyone, or anything I've een

And when the stars fall down

i would want you there beside me

And whent he angels call

I want go with you

Cos I just think that you're lovely

And I would spend all of my time with you

Cos you could be the best thing

I need in my life, this feels so right

And I could buy a big black book

And write down all my throughts in it

And put some pictues in, and tell you everything I feel

Cos you matter more, you mattter more to me

More than anyone, or anything I've een

And when the stars fall down

i would want you there beside me

And whent he angels call

I want go with you

Cos you are just so beautiful

And I am glad of my time with you

And you are the best thing

That's in my life, this feels so right

But you matter more, you mattter more to me

More than anyone, or anything I've een

And when the stars fall down

i would want you there beside me

And whent he angels call

I want go with you

Cos I just think that you're lovely

And I would spend all of my time with you

Cos you could be the best thing

I need in my life, this feels so right
