Lyrics Lyrics
IN YOUR EYES
In your eyes
I can see
Something
Something
So sure
In those eyes
As bright as the stars
As blue as the sky
I could die
In your eyes
In your eyes
I can see
Something
Something
So sure
And those eyes
Are not for hurting
You have the power
In those eyes
In your eyes
As bright as the stars
As blue as the sky
I could die
In your eyes
EVERYDAY BOY
Well I've never met anyone
Wiht your courage
And the way you enjoy life
Puts me to shame
Just an hour with you
And I understand why
We had to meet
I saw you look in the mirror
And adjust your hair
Smile
And leave the room
Just an everyday boy
Doing everyday things
But you're somebody special
Somebody who feels
You're not the first
And you won't be the last
But you are the one I'll remember
It's God's revenge
You're surrounded by fear
A compassionate man
You hold people dear
No blame for the mother
Who curses your name
She fears for her son
It's death by association
But you respect yourself
And you let it show
Some fade with guilt
And the shame
The way yo tell your story
With no tears for yourself
Just and everyday boy
Doing everyday things
You're not the first
And you won't be the last
But you are the one I'll remember
Hey hey
Just an everyday boy
Just an everyday boy
Doing everyday things
Just an everyday boy
Just an everyday boy
Just an everyday boy
Doing everyday things
Just an everyday boy
MERCHANT OF LOVE
You're selling emotions
That I can't buy
Don't want the sadness
Prices is far too high
And I don't want
I don't need
Your package lies
I've got too much in store
Someone help me
Find the merchant of love
Selling heaven here on earth
I've bought pain and measures
of pure heartache
I've had all I can take
I'm willing to wait
For lasting pleasure
With promises that won't ever break
Someone help me
Find the merchant of love
With a full guarantee
I'd travell miles
And miles and miles
To find the place
With treasures
Much more rich than gold
I just want a heart
That captures my soul
And I'm willing to wait
I'm willing to wait
For lasting pleasure
With promises
That won't ever break
Someone help me
Find the merchant of love
Someone help me
Find the merchant of love
With a full gaurantee
SHAPES AND SIZES
It comes all shapes and sizes
It's something
You can never buy
Don't wait until it's over
Before you say
It's all been fun
Obituary columns are filled with love
Don't wait until
I'm waving
And drowning
In a sea of tears
It is too late tomorrow
Obituary columns are filled with love
Filled with love
If everybody said it to
The person that they feel it for
Then their hearts
Would be full
And free
It comes all shapes and sizes
It's something
You can never buy
Don't wait
Don't wait
Obituary columns are filled with love
Filled with love
Don't wait until it's over
Don't wait until it's over
Obituary columns are filled with love
Filled with love
Filled with love
Filled with love
Filled with love
BACK ON THE ROAD
I've been up
I've been dowm
I've been every which way round
I was lost
In a sea
of self pity
I fooled myself
That I was fine
Someone liked my company
I played host
I entertained
Mr Misery
And Mr Sorrow
He'd come along sometimes
I never liked his face
And here we'd sit
Three musketeers
Sorrow
Misery
And me
Ah ah ah
Hey I know
Where I would rather be
I may not get to heaven
You put me back on the road
back on the road
I may not get to heaven
Lost myself
I'm back on the road
I'm back on the road
I'm back on the road
Mr Sorrow
He'd come along somtimes
I never liked his face
And here we'd sit
Musketeers
Sorrow
Misery
And me
Ah ah ah
Guess whereI'd rather be
I may not get to heaven
But with you
I'm back on the road
I'm back on the road
I'm back on the road
Again
LOST THE LOVE
Baby's gone
Baby's gone and left me
And I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry for the thing
I would'nt blame you
If you never came back
Darling what you had to go through
I could never live like that
I was stupid
Stupid stupid
I'm ashamed
I lost the friends we made
I lost the money we saved
I lost the love you gave
In the early days
I had everthing
Threw it all away
Threw it all away
I was mad
Darling I've changed
You have my word on that
I was a fool to myself
And a devil to you
How I hurt you
Really hurt me
Ashamed
I miss the fun we had
I miss the games we played
I knew the score
Still I cheated
Now I'm history
Threw it all way
Threw it all away
I was mad I was mad
I was mad
I lost the friend we made
I lost the money we saved
I lost the love you gave me
In the ealy days
I had everything
Couldn't ask for more
Threw it all way
It's so sad
I was bad
I was mad
I lost a precious thing
Respect from you
I blew it all
Now I want it back
It's good news day
When you call me up
Please won't you call me
I'll be good
SONGS
If I'm feeling down
If I'm ever blue
I just think of you
And the songs
Filled with lots of meaning
With everything I need
Spiritually healing
Words that comfort
You told me that you cared
You'd be there for me
When ever I need
When you're far away
And I need you hmmm
The songs can bring you closer
If I'm ever down
If I'm feeling low
I just think of you
And the songs
The ones that make me wonder
Will it be that good again
They inspire me to try
Oooo
Songs that let the past
Flood into my mind
Take me to the place
That we left
It's such a strange sensation
To live that time again
Songs can save you
They can break you
Set you crying
WOULD YOU LIKE TO DANCE
Want you
And I don't know what to do
Should I try to meet you
After work
By coincidence
Should I make a beeline
For you door
Ring your bell
Ask someone to introduce us
Hey baby
Would you like to dance
Would you like to see my yacht
Should I
Faint right at your feet
Walk right up and ask you
If you want to take a chance on me
Or start a convesation
With an old time melody
I'll treat you like a newborn child
Show a lot of self restraint
I want your loving
Can't live without you
Said I need you loving
Need your loving
Don't leave it too late
Said I need your loving
Need your loving
Hey baby would you like to dance
I'd show a lot of self restraint
I want you loving
Can't love without you
And I need your loving
Need your loving
Can't live without you
Said I need your loving
Need your loving
Hey baby would you like to dance
We could have a fine romance
Would you like to see my yacht
I'll give you every little thing I got
Treat you like a newborn child
Protect you from the world outside
Show a lot of self restraint
Until you say you're really ready
Don't leave it too late
Said I need your loving
Need your loving
RECOMMEND MY LOVE
If there is any other way
I will find it
I will not be losing you
If I can help it
i won't take this lying down
I'm gonna fight for you
I'm in the middle
Not easy for me baby
Not easy for me
Thsi may sound emotional
I have a deep sense of holding on
I'm gonna wrap you in my love
I'm gonna wrap you in my love
And I can recommend my love
I can recommend my love
I can't fake it
You are a big part of my life
And I won't make it
If I give up
If I give in
This may sound emotional
I have a deep sense of holding on
I'm gonna hold on to you
No time for crying
I've got work to do
I've got to wrap you in my love
I've got to wrap you in my love
And I can recommend my love
I can recommend my love
I've got no time to place the blame
You wanted to taste forbidden fruit
I could run you off in haste
But I'd repent at my leasure for you
Oooh oooh
I've got to wrap you in my love
I want it the way it was
All points to lead back home
You know I caught you fair and square
But I want you right back here
Where I can
Wrap you in my love
Love you darling
Oooh oooh
Wrap you in my love
I've got to recommend my love
BEYOND THE BLUE
You put me intouch
With all my senses
You showed me the way
I've never been close
To such feelings
I did not beg
But you cured me of
My broken heart
'll never forget
The day that we met
Hmmm so sweet
Like honey from the bee
You put yourself square
To my defenses
Tore down the walls
Walked right in and you
Stole my heart
Up up and above
Beyond the blue
Way beyond the stars
Someone looked at me
And thought of you
Reached out and touched us so soft
Like gentle snow
I'll never forget
The day that we met
You are so sweet
Like honey from the bee
You put yoursself square
To my defenses
Tore down the walls
Walked right in and you
And stole my heart
Tore down the walls
And stole my heart
Tore down the walls
Walked right in and you
Stole my heart
CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU
Might as well ask me
To drown in the dead sea
You might as well ask me
To walk a high wire
You might as well say
The sky is falling
You can say stop
But I know I can't
I've been loving you
Far too long
I can't stop it
I've been loving you
Far too long
I can't stop it now
Coast to coast
I have seen the world
Seen the rest
And you are the best
Can't stop it baby
Can't stop this love for you
All my moods
You always win me round
Don't leave me darling
Don't wanna learn
A brand new dance
Might as well ask me
To steal the Taj Mahal
Spend a night alone
In a haunted house
You can say stop
But I know I can't
Can't stop it baby
Can't stop this love for you
Can't stop it baby
Can't stop this love for you
Can't stop loving you
Can't stop loving you
Can't stop it baby
Can't stop this love
I have for you darling
Deep down inside
I will always love you darling
Can't stop it
Can't stop can't stop
Can't stop can't stop
Can't stop can't stop
This feeling
Say stop
But I know
I can't stop I can't stop
I can't stop I can't stop
I can't stop I can't stop
Loving you darling
I can't stop loving you
I can't stop
I can't stop
SHAPE OF A PONY
Dreams of building a fortress
A castle made of stone
A castle made of stone
Dreams of building a fortress
A castle made of stone
A castle made of stone
Works himself to a pony shape
But he just can't get it
But he can't trust the sky
Walks quite far
But he can't make the mile
Charts his course
But he never sets sail
Jumps quite high
But he can't trust the sky
Walks quite far
But he can't make the mile
Charts his course
But he never sets sail
He would die for a Porsche
All covered up with chrome
All covered up with chrome
He would die for a Porsche
All covered up with chrome
All covered up with chrome
Works so hard
But he just can't get it
Youth all spent
On a pie in the sky
Ace is high
But the thing is to try
Lady luck
Won't you give up a smile
Jump that jump
Can trust the sky
Walk that walk
You'll reach the mile
Chart that course
Buddy let us set sail
Let us set sail
Da da da
Works himself to a pony shape
But he just cana't get it
Jump that jump
Can trust the sky
Walk that walk
Chart that course
Let us set sail
Da da da da
TROUBLE
You've lived your life
And how you survived
I'll never know
People talk of hardships
What do they know
What do they know
Of the strength you had to show
To stop yourself from crying out
To keep you head above the sand
Those times
When you
Were in despair
Trouble seemed your only friend
Somehow you kept your spirits high
You told him straight
Don't call again
Now there were times
When it seemed I didn't care
Don't misjudge my silence
You had my sympathy
I had sympathy
And I admired how you
Stopped yourself from crying
Kept your head above the sand
When trouble seemed your only friend
Somehow you kept your spirits high
You told him straight
Don't call again
And now the future's looking bright
You fought alone
And won the fight
Kept your faith
When times were hard
You made it through
Trouble seemed your only friend
Somehow you kept
Your spirits high
You stoppped yourself from crying out
You kept you head above the sand
Those times
When you
Were in despair
Trouble seemed your only friend
Somehow you kept your spirits high
You told him straight
Don't call again
Love And Affection
From "Joan Armatrading"
I am not in love
but Im open to persuasion
East or West
wheres the best
for romancing
with a friend
I can simile
but with a lover
I could hold my head back
I could really laugh
really laugh
Thank you...
you took me dancing
cross the floor
cheek to cheek
but with a lover
I could really move
really move
I could really dance
really dance
really dance
really dance
I could really move
really move
really move
really move
Now I can feel the sun
in my eyes
and the rain on my face
why cant I
feel love
I can really love
really love
really love
really love
really love
love love love love
love love love love
Now I got all
the friends that I want
I may need more
but I shall just stick
to those things that I have got
with friends I still feel
so insecure
Little darling I believe you could
help me a lot
just take my hand
and lead me where you will
no conversation
no wave goodnight
just make love
with affection
Sing me another love song
but this time
with a little dedication
sing it sing it
you know thats what I like
once more with feeling
give me love
give me love
give me love
love...
