'59 Cadillac

There ain’t nothing like rain on a two lane
Driving fast with the radio on
Passing small towns in the middle of nowhere
Feeling alive, without a care
Ooh, ’59 Cadillac
Ooh, I ain’t never going back
Wipers on slow, dashboard all aglow
The lights on high
Well let’s roll baby roll, I ain’t movin’ slow
Come right through the night
Ooh ’59 Cadillac
Ooh, I ain’t never goin’ back, no I ain’t never goin’ back
Now when it’s time to go you usually know
There’s a feeling deep inside
I’ve been trying and trying, trying to stand still
But it just ain’t in my will
Now when I finally get where I’m goin’
Won’t stay long
Cause that rumbling sound, always call my name
That’s where I belong
Ooh, ’59 Cadillac
Ooh, I ain’t never goin’ back
Ooh, ’59 Cadillac
Ooh, I ain’t never goin’ back
No I ain’t never goin’ back
Lord I ain’t never goin’ back
No no never goin’ back

The Spirit
05:25

Down the highway to the bay
Heading south, he’s on his way
Gotta find the sounds he loves
Feel the groove, see his heroes play
Been away for far too long
Missing spirit and craving songs
He’s getting down
The Spirit
Soaking up that atmosphere
Just knowing he’s really there
His senses are firing up
Anticipation is in the air
Nothing’s gonna stop him now
The mood he’s in, he’s hitting town
Sound and light flash through his mind
Cascading from neon signs
He’s getting down
The Spirit
He’s getting down
The Spirit
Been away for far to long
Missing spirit and craving songs
Can’t give it up, he can’t break free
It’s got a hold on him, it’s meant to be
He’s getting down
The Spirit
He’s getting down
The Spirit
He’s getting down
The Spirit
He’s getting down The Spirit

Greedy Men
05:19
|

Try to build up, so they can take you down
Promise you the world, then never make it round
Fill you full of dreams, and talk of winning schemes
Try to test your nerve, put you to the sword
Tell you to trust their word, when they know there’s no reward
Take you to the sun, say that you’re the one
So watch out for the greedy men
Hold out yeah don’t let them in
Keep clear of the needy men
Shut down all the greedy men
Spin your head around, turn it upside down
Talk of golden days, and their winning ways
Allow your dreams to grow, even though they know
So watch out for the greedy men
Hold out yeah don’t let them in
Keep clear of the greedy men
Shut down all the greedy men
So watch out for the greedy men
Hold out yeah don’t let them in
Keep clear of the greedy men
Shut down all the greedy men

Invisible

Here I am, invisible
Watching worlds pass me by
Wind is strong, invisible
Picture me before I go
I’m not going right away
Really want to stay
I’m not leaving right away
Really want to stay
I really want to stay
Right here by your side
Here I am, invisible
Run as fast as I can
Sun is bright, invisible
Call for me before I go
I’m not going right away
Really want to stay
I’m not leaving right away
Really want to stay
Really want to stay
Right here by your side
Here I am, invisible
Resting while I catch my breath
Rain on my face, invisible
Remember me before I go
I’m not going right away
Really want to stay
I’m not leaving right away
Really want to stay
Though I’m not going right away
Really want to stay
I won’t leave you right away
Really want to stay
Really want to stay
Right here by your side
Right here by your side
Right here by your side

When I look deep inside
I see you all the time
When I lie awake in bed
Dreams of you are all that’s left
Ooh, it’s been a while
Since we made each other smile
Yeah it’s taking time
To get you offline
The days role into nights
Clouds of darkness stealing the light
Sounds echo down the street
In the places we used to meet
Ooh it’s been a while
Since we made each other smile
Yeah it’s taking time
To get you offline
Maybe someday you will see
The light that’s gone from me
But for now each day’s the same
Full of sorrow, tears and pain
Yeah it’s been a while
Since we made each other smile
And it’s taking time
To get you offline
Well it’s been a while
Since we made each other smile
And it’s taking time
To get you offline

Lonely Star
04:05

Saw your picture yesterday
On the internet
I remember all your dreams
You’re living them today
Now you’re flying with the stars
Left my world behind
Changed the meaning of your life
To something more bizarre
I see you shining far away
Can you see me too
Waiting through the lonely day
To spend the night with you
We used to dream together
We used to fly to heaven
But now I see you lonely star
You’re on your own forever
Saw your picture yesterday
On the internet
Nothing left to dream about
Lonely star has gone away
I see you shining far away
Can you see me too
Waiting through the lonely day
To spend the night with you
I see you shining far away
Can you see me too
Waiting through the lonely day
To spend the night with you

Rollercoaster

Lifes like a rollercoaster
With its ups and downs
I try to get on top of things
Go another round
Clouds are rolling in
With a heavy load
Looks like the rain could fall
On my patch of road
Rollercoaster, I’m hanging on
Rollercoaster, rollercoaster
Rollercoaster, I’m hanging on
Rollercoaster, rollercoaster
I’m on the ride of my life
Hangin’ on with fear
‘Cos if the handle breaks
The drop is sheer
And now I’m on the downward run
I gather speed
I wanna close my eyes
But I just gotta see
Rollercoaster, I’m hanging on
Rollercoaster, rollercoaster
Rollercoaster, I’m hanging on
Rollercoaster, rollercoaster
Rollercoaster, I’m hanging on
Rollercoaster, rollercoaster
Rollercoaster, I’m hanging on
Rollercoaster, rollercoaster
Rollercoaster, I’m hanging on
Rollercoaster, rollercoaster
Rollercoaster, still hanging on
Rollercoaster, rollercoaster

Sat On A Mountain
06:31

Sat on a mountain
Felt the wind in my face
Looked at my future
Got rid of the pace
Talked to the sky gods
About all my worries
Lay in the tall grass
Got rid of the hurry
Sat on that mountain
And dangled my legs
No one to push me
Over the edge
Looked at the river
Way down below
Threw all my fears
And my troubles just followed
Sat on a mountain
Saw the sun and the rain
Don’t want to stay there
But I’ll go back again
Sat on a mountain
My soul was renewed
Came back to earth feeling
A lot less confused

Crazy World
03:55
|

|
Walking backwards through the rain
Keeps me slightly insane
Living in this crazy old world
Lightning strikes me cause I’m dripping
Kick my shoes off stops me slipping
Am I living in someone else’s dream
Think I’m making it
Though I’m faking it
I am shaking off my pain
Think I’m knocking it
Keep on mocking it
Am I blocking it once again?
I can see you in the mirror
Upside down and slightly thinner
And you’re looking real happy to me
Rivers running through my ears
Washing all the things I hear
And it waters down all the harsh words
Think I’m making it
Though I’m faking it
I am shaking off my pain
Think I’m knocking it
Keep on mocking it
Yeah I’m blocking it once again
Think I’m making it
Though I’m faking it
I am shaking off my pain
Think I’m knocking it
Keep on mocking it
Am I blocking it once again?
Think I’m making it
Though I’m faking it
Yeah I’m shaking off my pain
Think I’m knocking it
Keep on mocking it
I am blocking it once again

Love Lost Time
05:48
|

|
I was thinking ‘bout the time we spent
Passing days on love lost time
Asking why our love’s so wrong
These days our passion has no rhyme
Love lost time
Our love might be lost
But not the memory of our good time
Your smile I cannot see
But in my mind it shines
Love lost time
Let’s have a night out
For love lost time
I’ll put my best suit on
For love lost time
For you I hold a torch
That keeps me going on
Without it my life would flicker
Flame gone
Love lost time
Let’s have a night out
For love lost time
I’ll put my best suit on
For love lost time
Let’s have a night out
For love lost time
You put your best shoes on
For love lost time
Love lost time
Love lost time

Thinking back, when I was young
And doing things, just for fun
I’m older now, it’s not the same
I know that life, is not a game
Turn back the clock, go out of time
Turn back the clock, go out of time
When life was a breeze
Hear the wind blow through the trees
Turn back the clock, go out of time
Now I am older, wiser - some may say
Got to make the most of every day
Years gone by just a haze
When the seconds, minutes, hours; fade in to days
Turn back the clock, go out of time
Turn back the clock, go out of time
When life was a breeze
Hear the wind blow through the trees
Turn back the clock, go out of time
When life was a breeze
Hear the wind blow through the trees
Turn back the clock, go out of time
Turn back the clock, go out of time

When You Dance

When you dance
Do your senses tingle then take a chance
In a trance
While the lonely mingle with circumstance
I’ve got something to tell you
You make it show
Let me come over
I know you know
When you dance
Ooh I can really love
I can love
I can really love, I can really love
I can love
I can really love, I can really love
Like a mountain that’s growing
A river that rolls
Let me come over
I know you know
When you dance
Ooh I can really love
When you dance
Do your senses tingle then take a chance
In a trance
While the lonely mingle with circumstance
I’ve got something to tell you
You make it show
Let me come over
I know you know
When you dance
Ooh I can really love

Goodbye

I see the morning sun upon your face
I see the sparkle in your eyes
And I can feel your love embrace
Makes me laugh ‘til I cry
Don’t let it go
Never let it show
You must not give up trying
Don’t say goodbye
The moment is here and gone
A lifetime in a day
The memories will linger on
And haunt you, make you pay
Don’t let it go
Never let it show
You must not give up trying
Don’t say goodbye
I see the morning sun upon your face
I see the sparkle in your eyes
So help me leave here with grace
And hold my head up high
Don’t let it go
Never let it show
You must not give up trying
Don’t say goodbye

Paid In Full
04:52
|

|
Hid my smile, you said goodbye
Walked on, my head held high
Man I’ve never felt so free
As you said those words to me
Paid my debt in full to you
When I heard you’d been untrue
Packed your bags and booked your plane
Now I face the sun again
See you later
Fly to the moon
If I see you tomorrow
It will be too soon
Get out of here
Set me free
I don’t want you
To come back to me
Had a party the day you went
Took a trip, your money’s spent
Trashed your stuff and now I’m sane
No signs of you remain
Dumped your letters on the fire
Saw the smoke take your desires
Drank myself into a state
Never looking back, too late!
