The Dark   

Little baby sweetly sleep
Do not stir
We will bring a coat of fur

We will rock you rock you rock you
We will rock you rock you rock you

See the fur to keep you warm
Softly round your tiny form





Back To The Light   

Far, Far from the light
Hear the night creatures call
With cold breath they howl
All the hollow hours they're calling
I'll be there
No matter what you're going through
In the dark I care
I'm holding on, I'm hoping on
It's still the same old me inside

chorus:
Back to the light
Back to the street, that are
Paved with gold
Back to the light
Back to the land where the
Sunshine heals my soul

Deep deep in the night
When the world fills with tears
And wind blows, colder and colder it grows
And the fire dims with the same old fears
I'll be there
Though maybe you don't hear me babe
I still care
No matter when, I'll still be there
When you make it to the other side

chorus:
Back to the light
Back to the street, that are
Paved with gold
Back to the light
Back to the land where the
Sunshine heals my soul

On and on
Searching for a clearer view
Winning and losing an inner war
Wonder what we do it for
Though road seems never ending
Hold on to the hope I'm sending through

I'll be there
No matter where you're going to
In the dark I care
I'm holding on - believe it -
We'll be walking in the light
'Cos they'll be no place left to hide

chorus:
Back to the light
Back to the street, that are
Paved with gold
Back to the light
Back to the land where the
Sunshine heals my soul





Love Token   

Mama's in love, Papa's in love
It's such a shame they don't love each other.
Papa's in a jam, Mama's throwin' pans
The game's up - it's time to run for cover

Everybody's cryin' but they can't stop hopin'
Everybody's lookin' for the door that's open
Mama's making heat to keep the fire smokin'
Papa's hangin' on his old love token

You got love but you ain't got style
You want your freedom but in a while
You're lost children but you know for sure
You gotta find out what your love is for

[Oh baby life ain't what is used to be]
(You're telling me - not since you 'been hangin' round here)
[Mama's what you screamin' for actin' like a demon for]
And hey mama quit wavin' them hands in the air
(Don't talk to me that way)
[well I don't see no reason to raise your voice to me]
(You put fat in the fire you got meat for brains)
[Well you don't give me comfort and a Man's
gotta get it somewhere]
(Ooh that's a shame) [Yeah, well...]
Mama's hangin' on to every word that's spoken
But Pap's hangin' onto his old love token

Oh I don't wanna leave you Mama
Oh I don't wanna leave you Papa

Long haired women gonna you to stone
You can't beat em - cos you need 'em
You gotta live - you gotta love
Your love token's gotta fit like a glove

Listen to the story 'bout the dream that's broken
You gotta keep a hold of your old love token

Oh I don't wanna leave you Mama
Oh I don't wanna leave you Papa
No I don't wanna leave you alone
But I'm gonna have to Babe





Resurrection   

There's a pain in my brain
Confusion in my heart
My blood's fit for bursting
My body apart - I'm gonna ride -
Ride the night into the morning sun

Gonna make my resurrection
No more of this crap
Got a whole new direction
Ain't no turning back
Resurrection is a-gonna come

My spirit is weeping
For freedom it cries
Ben scraping my living
In the Valley of Lies
Ride the night into the morning sun

I'm a victim of a victim
Of a conspiracy
>From a corpum derelictum
Gonna fly and be free
The resurrection is a-gonna come

Clear the vision
Heal the system
Sins forgiven - RISE !

Flee the prison
Break the system
Sins forgive - RISE ! RISE !

Ride the night- yes I know I'm still alive -
Gotta ride the night - yeah I'm gonna ride -
Gonna rise again in the morning light

There's no use in counting
The price of those years
There's too many heartaches
And too many tears
Gotta ride the night into the morning sun

Yes I thought I was dreaming
But the East is ablaze
With promise of the future

Those Heavenly Days
Ride the night into the morning sun
Ride the night - into the morning sun
Cos the resurrection is a-gonna come





Too much love will kill you   

I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears raining down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone for much too long
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
I've been looking back to find where I went wrong

Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between a lover and the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster 'cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you - every time

I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems there's no way out this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose
No there's making sense of it
Every way I go I have to lose

Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all.
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you
Every time

Too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why
You'd give your life you'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end...
In the end.





Driven By You   

Woh - Everything I do I do for you -

We touch and you're afraid of me and
We burn and now I'm at your feet
High speed, but you know you're in safe hands
In the dark we make a brighter light
From one spark to the horizon wide
We trust, and together we tame the land

You'd be forgiven if you think you're dreaming
But we're working night and day to make a dream come true
Everything I do is driven by you

Oh well it's tough to make a journey through
The right stuff is dead ahead of you and me
And you know we've still got time
Hold on tight on the driving wheel
This ride is really out of line
Raw deal, but there's no other that's worth a dime

You know I love you but you drive me crazy
'Cos you're saying all the things I want to say to you
(you say)
Everything I do is driven by you

Everything we do
Everything we do
Everything we do
Everything we do is driven by you

Inner children lost their way
Now they know the price you pay
I'm holding on to life with you
'Cos life without you just won't do

Driven by you

You know we're never going to know who's dreaming
But we're working night and day to make a dream come true
Everything I do is driven by you
Everything we do
Etc.
Everything we do is
Driven by
Driven by
Driven by
Driven by you
(Oooooh everything I dooo - I do it for you !)





Nothin' But Blue   

I look at your picture
I'm nothing but blue
I'm hearing you whisper
The way you used to do
And I can't stop wondering
Just how things might have been
No I'm nothin' but blue

My life has no rhythm
Somehow it's out of tune
I keep trying to tell them
We'll be seeing them soon
But the truth keeps rushing back
Guess you know what I mean...
No I'm nothin' but blue

No use in crying - that ain't what you would do - no
Living or dying - we'll just keep on fighting through

No I can't stop my wondering
'Bout all those things that might have been
No I'm nothin' but blue
Nothing...
Nothin' but blue





I'm Scared   

You take me to the party
You put me on the stand
You're pumpin' up my heart
To the beatin' of the band
You toss it in the air
And you don't care where it lands
You take it - you break it
You're hurtin' me

Because I wasn't prepared
I couldn't go where you dared
You got my whole soul bared
i never knew that you cared

I'm scared... etc.

You take me out to dinner
And you swallow me whole
You're nothin' but sinner
With a dar black soul
I figured I could handle you
But I'm just a toy
You're gettin' bolder and bolder
You're just a bad bad boy

I'm scared... etc.

What you starin' at
You're such a scaredy cat
When I know that I just can't fight it
So what you starin' at
You're such scaredy cat
'Cos I'm only scared that maybe I might like it...

Chaos Karaoke - do your own thing but try the following :

I'm scared to move, I'm scared of standing still
I'm scared to change, I'm scared to stay the same
I'm so scared I want to die
I'm scared of dying
I'm scared of not being liked, not being loved
I'm scared to be alone
I'm scared of being with people
I'm scared of disapproval
I'm scared of life
I'm scared to love lose what I have built
I'm scared of feeling scared
I'm scared of being ugly, being boring, being dull
I'm scared of my thoughts
I'm scared of being found out
I'm scared Steven Berkoff
I'm scared to dance, I'm scared to speak, to sing
I'm scared my body's awkward, the wrong shape, wrong smell
I'm scared to say what I think
I'm scared to say no, or yes too often
I'm scared of disappointing
I'm scared of losing control
I'm scared of pain, I'm scared of hurting, being hurt
I'm scared this will go on 'til I die
I'm scared of losing my home, my love, my kids, my kids, my kids
I'm scared my heart will break
I'm scared of losing myself
Because there might be no-one there at all
I'm scared of unknown future
I'm scared to make a wrong turn
I'm scared of the dark
I'm scared of failing
I'm scared it may all be for nothing

You push me to the limit
You push me to the brink
You left me with the blues
When you found me in the pink
You know just what you're saying
But your metaphors stink
I gotta lick it, or stick it,
Or this is the and

I'm scared... etc.





Let Your Heart Rule Your Head   

If you've got time to stay and listen to my story
Just a moment of your life is all I need
Don't say we should be parted
'Cos we only just got started
Let your heart rule your head tonight

There's full moon shinin' on the water
There's warm breeze blowin' off the sea
And when my pulse starts a racin'
I know life is for tastin'
Let your heart rule your head tonight

chorus:
Let your heart rule your head
Let your heart rule your head
Let your heart rule your head tonight
When your whole world is sinkin'
Come to my way of thinkin'
Let your heart rule your head tonight

It's been so long since I put my arms around you
And I dont' know if it's real or it's a dream
But don't pussy-foot about it - shout it
Just cant' live without it !
Let your heart rule your head (everybody)

Let your heart rule your head...etc.

You're starin' my face as though I'm crazy
When I tell you that I need you every day
Can't you see that I love you pretty baby
And ol' time don't ever stop tickin' away

Well your Mama don't mind
And your Papa don't mind
But you'll never be mine
If you're thinkin' all the time
We can work it out right
When I'm holdin' you tight
We can make it tonight
'Cos it ain't no crime
Don't let the moment slip away...
Don't think about it - do it !

Well I know that we're in a time of changes
And in love there is a danger everywhere
But consider every portion
When you've taken your precautions
Let your heart (let your heart)
Let your heart (let your heart)
Let your heart, let your heart, let your heart
Let your heart tule your head... etc.





Just One Life   

I did not know you
Our lives never touched
'Til the say they gathered
To bid you farewell
And they painted your picture
And as I looked around
I felt I saw you
In the words and the sound

Your talent came flowing
Through the stories they tell
And through the the faces
Of those who loved you so well
Your life gave them a treasure
A piece of themselves
Something to carry
And still serves them well

Just One Life
Just One Life
Just One LIfe
That is born, and is, and is gone
Just One Life
And I'm so glad to know you
As I know you

Perhaps inside you
You were messed up like me
But them you were whole and strong
And friend in their need
And what you left behind you
And what swept over me
Says that your life's work
Rolls on and on
A piece of eternity

Just One Life
Just One Life
Just One Life
That is born, and is, and is gone
Just One Life
Did you ever have the change to find out
What life is all about
I did not know you
Our lives never touched
'Til the day we gathered
To say our farewells





Rollin' Over   

Goodbye sunshine I'm on my way
I'll be long time gone by the break of day
Tell everyone that I'm gonna find it
There ain't nothin' gonna stop me -

Rollin' Over, Rollin' Over

Save all your lovin' till I get home
To the sweetest lovin' sunshine that I've ever known
Tell everyone that I'm gonna find it
There ain't nothin' gonna stop me -

Rollin' Over, Shak-do-way
Rollin' Over, Yeah-yeah-yeah...
