1. I'M NOT AWAKE YET


I'm not awake yet, I haven't opened my eyes.
But I haven't been late yet, I'm gonna to be on time.
For today's the day that you are coming back.
And I can't wait to see you materialize.
How much can I take now before I break inside?
How long will it take now before I realize,
That I can't live without you by my side,
And nothing else will keep me satisfied?

I've looked at my heart now and I trusted my eyes.
I made that mistake now ain't gonna make it twice.
But time can put the man on the other side.
And I can't wait to see what's left behind.

I'm not awake yet, I haven't opened my eyes.
I haven't been late yet.
Gonna be on time, gonna be on time,
gonna be on, gonna be on time.
But today's the day that you are coming back,
And I can't wait to see you materialize.


2. USED TO BE

Baby I no longer wanna be, just a thorn in your side.
Tell me what you gave me baby, and I will give you back.
The troubles you gave me, gonna wrap em' up in a box,
Tie em' up with string, send em' back to you,
They no longer mean a thing to me.

Better get used to bein' my used to be.

Baby I no longer wanna be, just a cushion for your pride.
Here's my fastback baby, this man's got a ride away.

Before you make me change my mind,
I'll be gone before you notice, that I'm not around.
You'll look everywhere baby, but I just won't be found.

Better get used to bein' my used to be.

I used to be the hands of your clock baby,
But I always knew in time.
I'd no longer be the key to your lock baby,
And you would change your mind.
Owww...

I used to be the hands of your clock baby,
But I always knew in time.
I'd no longer be the key to your lock baby,
And you would suddenly change your mind.
Owww...

Baby I remember a time when you, really used to try.
But now-a-days baby, you can't even look me in the eye.
Your love is drifting with the tide.

Well I ain't gonna blame you, if you ain't gonna blame me.
I'll just move on down, I'm sure that you'll agree.

Better get used to bein' my used to be.

Well I ain't gonna blame you, if you ain't gonna blame me.
I'll just move on down the line, I'm sure that you'll agree.

Better get used to bein' my used to be.

3. DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M GOING

I don't know where I'm going,
Don't know where I've been.
'Cause I haven't seen my baby,
Since I don't know when.
I'm walking down that long road,
With a smile up on my face.
I'm broken hearted,
But you won't see a trace.

Feeling disconnected,
These blues are out to kill.
Sweep them in the corner,
Put 'em in the bin.

All right so you don't sympathise,
Don't expect that you should.
Walk right for one day you might,
Run into this patch of grey clouds too.

All right so you don't sympathise,
I don't expect that you should.
Stay bright for one day you might,
Run into this patch of grey clouds too.

Gravel in my pockets,
From the places I have been,
The soles of my shoes are paper thin.

I got sand here in my pockets.
From the place that I come from.
That's where I'm going,
So I'll say so long...yeah.


4. MAYBE I WILL


nning through a pool of rain
I think i'll do it one more time again
I hope i always feel this way
maybe i will

Searching for a piece of ground
where i can lay my body down
with the earth for a pillow under my head

Wake up in the morning
it's a brand new day
And though it seems the same
it's different from yesterday
Then i read the leaves
and put my cup away

Running down a country lane
Looking on a a field of grain
Just to see you smile
makes me feel alive again

Opening another door
I'll see what i have not seen before
Maybe i'll find what i'm looking for

Running through a pool of rain
I think i'll do it one more time again
I hope i always feel this way
maybe i will
maybe i will



5. WHOLE LOTTA PEOPLE

A whole lotta people talking,
trying to make sense
Seems everybody's living on a barbed wire fence
Whole lotta people too proud to call
'Cause it won't get no help at all

Everybody's waiting for the good news day
But it seems so far away
Wonder if it's ever gonna come
'Cause the way it's been
The restless one

Lot of things have gotta change
If it's not already too late
But it is worth the wait
So, let's not hang our heads
The light will shine one day
(Ohhww!)

Lot of things have gotta change
If it's not already too late
But it is worth the wait
So, let's not hang our heads
The light will show through yet
(Yeahh!)

Now listen, Baby, and listen well
I've got only one thing to tell
Don't you worry about people telling lies
They're only catching flies

A whole lotta people talking,
trying to make sense
Seems everybody's living on a barbed wire fence
Whole lotta people too proud to call
'Cause it won't get no,
cause it won't get no,
cause it won't get no
help at all,
help at all


6. IN YOUR TOWN


Look out baby, your man is back in town
Look out baby, I won't stand no messin' round.

The first man I wanna see is the Chief of Police
Bring that man right over here,
I wanna speak my piece
I wanna cause no trouble, no fuss, no fight
But look out man, you know this is Saturday night.

The second man I wanna see is the old Fire Chief
Bring that man right over here
Stand him right in front of me
I wanna cause no trouble, no fuss, no fight
See this match, I'm gonna set this place a light
so look out

You come along baby and ask me where i've been
The third man I wanna see is the old D.A.
He was the man who sent me away
22 years 23 days 24 minutes i was locked away
You come along baby and ask me where i've been
Having a little holiday up in Sing Sing

Sing Sing
Sing Sing
When i came out i couldn't feel a,
i couldn't feel a, i couldn't feel a thing
I couldn't feel a thing, I couldn't feel a thing
feel a thing,feel a thing
Feel a thing

Now i'm back
In your town
In your town
In your town
In your town


SHOULD'VE LEARNT MY LESSON


Should've learnt my lesson
long long time ago
Should've learnt my lesson
long long time ago
Bored like a mule
i've always learnt my lesson slow

Should have listened
taken my friends advice
Should have listened
to my best friends and to my eyes
They said "you must be prepared to lose"
If you choose to chance the dice

Well i'm feeling
about as tired as a bad pair of shoes
When you don't fit
then you know it's time to move
But if you had my troubles you'd be cryin too

My first mistake
was when i thought that you'd be true
My first mistake
was when i thought that you'd be true
now i realise that was a foolish thing to do

8. THERE'S A LIGHT

There's a light that shines on me
ever since you came to me
It won't go,it won't go away
Now i know that you're gonna stay
Now that i know
your love means so much more to me now

Come here now baby
Now look what you've done to me now
I don't pray for what could have been
I feel i'm flyin naturally

I can fly but i won't go away
In your sky that's where i wanna stay

Come here now baby
Now look what you've done to me now
If i don't show would you know
where to look for me now

I do not stare absently
Counting waves up on the sea
Now i know where i wanna stay
There ain't no hard decisions to make


Come here now baby
Now look what you've done to me now
If i don't show would you know
who to send for me now

There's a light (x3)


9. OUT OF MY MIND

Well you took me out of my mind baby
You took me out of my head
My friends have gone to look for me
I ain't been seen yet

No i ain't disappeared
i'm only over here
Well you found me out of my skull baby
staring at the stars
You will appear now just in time
to what i was looking for
I had no place to run
Did not have anyone

Well i wonder
why the day is so bright
What can the reason be
You light up the darkest night
like a pearl out of the sea

Hope it can always be
but i must wait and see
Give me some of your love baby
That is all i need
Tell me what it's all about
Tell me what you see

Where have you been so long
My tears have dried and gone
Where have you been so long
all my blues have gone

Well you took me out of my mind baby
You took me out of my head
My friends have gone to look for me
I ain't been seen yet

No i ain't disappeared
i'm only over here

No i ain't disappeared
i'm only over here


10.CREST OF A WAVE


Well you can ride on the crest of a wave
if that's where you want to be
But does the look on your face
mean you're really feeling happy
or do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg
or a poor man much too proud to beg
or a page from a book
that can't be read at all

Can't you see by the way
that they are talking
that it's time for you
to pick up your grip start walking
cause they want to see your long legs flying
go to the place where the earth meets the sky
and don't stop to turn around and wave goodbye at all

They won't be satisfied
till you're out of their sight
But i wonder how will they feel
With a deck of cards
and you're not around to deal Yeh

They won't be satisfied
till you're out of their sight
But i wonder how will you feel
With a deck of cards
and you're not around to deal
you're not around to deal

Well they say it's a lie,
it's a joke that you are living
but you know one thing they don't
you won't give in
cause you're like a cat who's chaisin' its tail
makes a million circles but you're gonna fail
sometimes you just don't understand

Well you can ride on the crest of a wave
if that's where you want to be
But does the look on your face
mean you're really feeling happy
or do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg
or a poor man much too proud to beg
or a page from a book
that can't be read at all

or do you feel that you're standing on a wooden leg
or a poor man much too proud to beg
or a page from a book
that can't be read at all ,read at all


11. PERSUASION


Well i don't need too much persuasion
when i'm in your arms this way
Well i don't need a sense of occasion
I'm ready any day
Well just tell me your location
and i will get to you
There will be no hesitation
i'll be right there out of the blue
perfection you seem to me
this connection we ought to seal
my emotions i can't conceal
you're heart I'll steal away
I won't put up to much of a struggle
when you look that way
but i know that i'm in trouble
my defence just melts away
Well i think that i'm in heaven
when you knock on my door
well i start to seeing double
my resistance is way down low
A perfection you seem to be
this connection we ought to seal
my emotions i can't conceal
you're heart I'll steal away
heart I'll steal away
Well i don't need to much persuasion
when i'm in your arms this way
Well i don't need a sense of occasion
I'm ready any day
Won't you tell me your location
and i will get to you
There will be no hesitation
i'll be right there out of the blue
perfection you seem to be
this connection we ought to seal
my emotions i can't conceal
you're heart I'll steal away
you're heart I'll steal away
that's right
