Wish on the wind I’ll sit And I’ll think And never get a hold on How you take me to the brink As we sink And we rise You’re the habit I won’t kick And I hope you realise I’ll lay a wish upon the wind You know I’ll gladly let you in I laid a wish upon the wind How come I haven’t seen you since? You know you make me want to die I’d lay down in your arms And then I’d make myself at home The time I have Is not enough And still you haven’t noticed That I’m just a wish away I’ll lay a wish upon the wind You know I’ll gladly let you in I laid a wish upon the wind How come I haven’t seen you since? I believed in myself I put my mettle to the test You helped me over the worst ‘Cause you believed in me first Clear as a day is a day And much too long without you here… I’ll lay a wish upon the wind You know I’ll gladly let you in I laid a wish upon the wind How come I haven’t seen you since? I wish you love I wish you happiness I wish you life I wish you me I wish you sun I wish you rain I wish you levity And me again

More than magnificent More than magnificent This life I have’s the best I ever had King of experiences Carry my dreams in a paper brown bag Here’s a blast from the future What say we all die happy Walk off into the sunset Reality’s better than a movie screen All we really need in this life What I really need in this life Is love…love...LOVE Hero on a park bench He’s got the answer to all your questions Blind man in a blind alley Open your eyes see the cage bars History repeats Gotta take the bad with the good Can’t finish what you don’t begin Sometimes what you sow’s gonna make you weep All we really need in this life What we really need in this life Is love…love...LOVE Ordinary life What happens when the wave finally breaks Going round and around ‘cause hey It’s all swings and roundabouts anyway All the lights go out Making the best of bills and rain And then you do it all again And never love it more than when you lose it all All we really need in this life What we really need in this life Is love…love...LOVE

Between love and disaster In this world Of hurricanes at noon Tornadoes coming soon We don’t have to be everything It takes so long To finally understand Standing on quicksand You take the breaths as you can Between love and disaster And in the happy ever after Or whatever’s coming after The only thing that really matters is You’ve got to love me As it fades to black I start to realise There’s not much more to this Than a paling reflection Is there time? Time to sort out this mess? Time for me to confess I’m a mass of contradictions? Between love and disaster And in the happy ever after Or whatever’s coming after The only thing that really matters is You’ve got to love me so I guess you’ve heard I hit the ball out the park And I don’t have a soul Not a soul to share it with Why so lonely? Yeah, you can do it alone But do you really want to? I’ll come along for the ride Between love and disaster And in the happy ever after Or whatever’s coming after The only thing that really matters is You’ve got to love me

Settle down Hold up Back up a minute Don’t think I’m the man you think I’m not My heart isn’t in it Thought we were just having fun You gone and gotten all serious on me Starting to freak me out a little 2 weeks, A little too short to be talking about love And settling down You just came off a relationship It burned you out You need to settle down Get a grip Stop flipping and just sit tight We might have something more Than a passing phase We’ll face that bridge when we see it Make that move when we need it Shorty just wants to settle down She just likes to have me around I know I’m not the settling kind I’m not into being tied down Shorty just wants to settle down I know I’m not the settling kind I said I’m not the settling kind I’m not trying to hurt your feelings Just trying to tell it like it is All up in my space Got your clothes at my place Like you’re moving in We talk We talk but you don’t hear a word I’m saying If you heard you’d know The future isn’t playing on mind I’m the right now Shorty just wants to settle down She just likes to have to have me around I know I’m not the settling kind I’m not into being tied down Shorty just wants to settle down I know I’m not the settling kind I said I’m not the settling kind

Is love enough ? It’s the same old questions Neither one of us have the answer to Am I losing you? Am I happier without you? Cause its 3 in the morning And I’m still awake Oh, for goodness sake Can anybody tell me Why does loving someone have to get so hard? I’m showing all my cards I’m telling you my secrets Cause we’re stuck in the middle And I don’t think I can take it anymore Is love enough? What about honesty? Is love enough? What about you and me? Is love enough? Cause you and him and me make 3 That’s one too much for me Is love enough? Is it worth it? Is it worth my losing my identity To keep you loving me? We’re different people You’re not the same girl I met a year ago Where did that one go? I know I drive you crazy I know we both got issues That we’re dealing with That we’re living with But living without me And me living without Is a choice that neither one of us would make Is love enough? What about honesty? Is love enough? What about you and me? Is love enough? Cause you and him and me make 3 That’s one too much for me Is love enough? Is it going to be one of them days Can we just go back and erase All the stupid things that we say? Will the same things get in our way? Are we going to make it somehow? Can we just sit back and relax? Can we not repeat the same act? Is love enough?

Chameleon ‘69 was the year That I joined the good fight The sight of the fear and the fright Made me burst into tears Slowly growing into the skin that I’m in Rude awakening of a dreamer That finds himself locked in a spin I’m a true chameleon Marking time This is the day I figure it out Don’t bust my cloud Cause I’m trying to stay just as high Just as high as I possibly can I’m the fish out of water But drowning on land Overtired of the tricks And I’m sick of the sleights of hand I’m half full of half promises Grabbed for the gold Empty hands of a fool On the trail of a dream gone cold I’m a true chameleon Marking time This is the day I figure it out Don’t bust my cloud Cause I’m trying to stay just as high Just as high as I possibly can And its me in the water And me out on a limb And me trying to start a fire in the rain And I’m out in the cold again Layer after layer Till we’re finally naked No hiding place can keep us from Who we really are Lights through the window The corners stay dark A little wide of the mark As I’m slowly fading away I’m a true chameleon Marking time This is the day I figure it out Don’t bust my cloud Cause I’m trying to stay just as high Just as high as I possibly can I’ll miss the music I’ll miss the bad days I’m done already Only just started living And I’m done already

Telling myself Can we sit and talk? Even for a little while Can we just chill? Remember what it is to smile Baby please explain Exactly what we are trying to do I really need to know Am I even in the same world as you? I keep telling myself But I can’t help myself I keep telling myself But I can’t help myself Do I make you happy Even when I make you cry? Are your days better As long as they start with me? Maybe I should just go Till you made up your mind Sometimes to get peace of mind Just need to be alone I keep telling myself But I can’t help myself I keep telling myself ‘Cause I can’t help myself I can’t help myself We’ll just keep it simple If it’s all the same to you We’re getting on the same track Then we let the music play We’ll be making Sunday We don’t need to get heavy We just need to find a place Where we can see eye-to-eye And I keep telling myself But I can’t Help myself And I keep telling myself But I can’t help myself I think about you all the time And I keep telling myself But I can’t Help myself And I keep telling myself But I can’t help myself I think about you all the time

Come closer Take off your clothes Come over here I’m your magic number I’m your unknown fear If we keep up This playing around I’m a little too weak, Yeah..you grabbed me by the heart Why do we fight the inevitabilities? When I fall you’ll be the first to hear it Why do we fight the inevitability? You might as well stop running now and face it And face it babe here I come There’s nothing wrong Why can’t we be together? Cause we know we both want to Just put yourself in my hands There’s no need to hurry There’s nothing to lose Let’s do it right here, now We’ll just go with the flow Why do we fight the inevitabilities? When I fall you’ll be the first to hear it Why do we fight the inevitability? Stop running now and face it Face it babe here I come..

Heavenly Do I deserve you? I ask myself that everyday Was made to love you I pinch myself, see if I’m awake Loving you’s a dream I never thought would come true Fantasising’s all I ever thought I could do When I wake up next to you Feels so good to be alive Break me off a little piece of.. Heaven(ly) heaven You make me feel so good I found an angel I start my day off with a smile What do you see in me? Sometimes I swear you can’t be real Loving you’s a love I’ve never known Always thought I’d have to make it on my own When I’ve got your hand in mine Feels so good it feels divine Breaking off a little piece of… Heaven(ly) heaven…

It is what it is I’m sorry to say I can’t keep our appointment today I fell out the loop Flew the coop; I’ve just gone away A couple of cards short of a deck What the heck….a little underexposed And living when it’s all stacked against me That’s just how it sometimes goes...I suppose If it doesn’t get any better than this I’m gonna have to cross myself off the list Everything is everything It is what it is And if it doesn’t get any better from now I’m gonna have to walk right here right now Everything is everything It is what it is Standing in the shadow of giants No bigger than me Bound to repeat the mistakes and disasters Of our masters of spin Dead men’s tales unbelievers They’ve all become ghosts They smile and tell out their stories Poorest of the poor If it doesn’t get any better than this I’m gonna have to cross myself off the list Everything is everything It is what it is And if it doesn’t get any better from now I’m gonna have to walk right here right now Everything is everything It is what it is A tumbled down tale Overtold until the details change Makeshift heroes and villains A little deranged The view from my window’s askew Off the track; I’m on a different train I need a new name for my pain Until it changes again If it doesn’t get any better than this I’m gonna have to cross myself off the list Everything is everything It is what it is And if it doesn’t get any better from now I’m gonna have to walk right here right now Everything is everything It is what it is It is what it is... It is what it is... It is what it is...

Without even trying Have you noticed How only good things happen when I’m around you Don’t know if you knew this But I’m not myself when I’m not with you Without even trying You just hit those spots I never knew I had I ain’t lying When I’m around you I’m a different man Don’t change a thing You’ve changed my life Don’t change a thing You’ve changed my life And I’ll be holding on to your love babe Holding on to your love babe Holding on till night turns to day Holding on to your love babe I admit it I tried every trick in the book just to stay out of love But now I see it Belonging to someone’s nothing to be afraid of I can’t explain it You only have to look at me, you take my breath away I’d go insane if you didn’t love me and You wouldn’t stay Don’t change a thing You’ve changed my life Don’t change a thing You’ve changed my life I’ll be holding on to your love babe Holding on to your love babe Holding on till night turns to day Holding on to your love babe

End of an affair Go ahead Say something nice Like you’re the only one Going through fire and ice I can tell Hell would be something like Taking a weekend in Vegas Easy compared to being with me All the hurt you put on me You curiously never see In the disappearance of everything good Tripped and fell In a face-full of guilt Up to my neck Where I was meant to be falling In love And I hope it’s the end of an affair Want to kill the loser in me Then I guess I’m finally free An easy shot to the head At least that’s how she tells it I can’t help but feel my cover’s blown My own personal sky’s tumbling down Got to run for firmer ground And I hope it’s the end of an affair So, go ahead Say something else Like I’m only thinking of myself Or something just as clever If I had any confidence I definitely would have left you A lifetime ago…or maybe never And I hope it’s the end of an affair

Paris-SF Sitting on a plane To try to find you Trying to explain Just what it is I’m going through In this space and time The workings of my mind I’ll make you understand I’m not trying to hide And when you give up, give up Give it up to me And I lay it on the line So that you can see And I face up to everything you mean to me I want to push up, push up Getting next to you I want to ease up, ease up Till you’re digging me too Want to wake up, wake up Laying next to you If you just give me a chance To show you that I love you To tell you how I’m feeling If you just give me a chance To prove how much you mean to me I’ll show you I’m for real I know I hesitate Going to lose a chance Don’t want to complicate Things are going so fast Want to slow it down I’m trying to hold it down Learning from the past Trying to make it last And when you give up, give up Give it up to me And I lay it on the line So that you can see And I face up to everything you mean to me I want to push up, push up Getting next to you I want to ease up, ease up Till you’re digging me too Want to wake up, wake up Laying next to you If you just give me a chance To show that I love you To tell you how I’m feeling If you just give me a chance To prove how much you mean to me To show you how I feel

Slipping away Writing words that mean nothing Shouting asides I’m the only one in the room Breaking out only to be faced With more walls And I built them myself And they shout me down Say, we don’t need your help We don’t want you around They shout me down.. And its so hard To stop from slipping away So hard To stop from slipping away Check the poet with nothing left to say Hanging on his every breath But crucify him anyway Don’t look now, it’s a long way down Getting up’s even harder The next time around And they shout me down Say, we don’t need your help We don’t want you around They shout me down.. And its so hard To stop from slipping away.. So hard To stop from slipping away The song I hate’s the one I can’t stop from singing The thoughts that I’m thinking aren’t mine Some things don’t matter Not like they used to Things like you Things like me And they shout me down Say, we don’t need your help And we don’t want you around They shout us down.. And its so hard To stop from slipping away So hard To stop from slipping away Its so hard.

Don’t change a thing You’ve changed my life Don’t change a thing You’ve changed my life I’ll be holding on to your love babe Holding on to your love babe Holding on till night turns to day Holding on to your love babe
