There's A Little Light

Fell in love with Helen of Troy
But she was just a woman
And I guess that you could say
I was just a boy
She was a vision of my teenage dreams
All short brown hair
Soft white thighs
And baggy jeans
And the thought of her then
And the way she came to my door again
Takes me back to the start
There's a little light
That I hold in my heart
Some folks tell me that i'm crazy
Hanging round this time
Maybe I am, all I know
Is she's my kinda girl

The Wolves

Put out your light
Leave open your window and i'll
Climb in from the night
And lay by your side
If you want me to
Darling I would
Throw out our old address books
And make up disguises
We'll lead international lives of crime
If you wanted to
Darling I would
We'll run with the wolves
If we must
We'll ride on the tide
Putting our trust in loving arms
Keep safe from harm our hearts
The world is full of fools
Neglecting their hearts
Child and playing it cool
But that's not who I am
And that's not what I do
Every morning i'm yours

Signals

I saw you shine a light
Gently in the dark to see me home
A light flickering for to let your lover know
That should I hold true and fix
My eye on you
You'll not play on me no tricks
Nor be untrue
I heard you call my name
Softly as the pouring rain
Was hammering on my window pane
The edges of your words got washed away
But still I heard that softly spoken word
Of devotion undeterred
And shining like the sun

Chief Of My Police

Darling you're the Chief of my Police
And i'll turn my badge over to you
If you ask me to
You can take my pistol too
You're the head of my research institute
And i'll write a paper for you
Experiment the whole night through
I'd do anything that you asked me to
Because, darling I know you're the one that I love
Why don't you?
Darling you're the Captain of my industry
And i'll build a bridge over the rivers flow for ya
If you wanted me to
Darling I would build a bridge for you
Darling you're the Sergeant of my platoon
And you make me swoon
When you whistle that marching tune
There ain't nowhere I wouldn't follow you

We only come out at night
For the wine and for the whiskey the streetlight
We stumble through the city that we love
Each and every sin given up as offerings
We only come out at night
We don't know nothing but drinking and dancing
And singing our heart out
We celebrate the people that we love
Raise another glass, say a prayer
And hope the memories last
We only come out at night

Potholes

Shuffling back up the stairs
Love suddenly scared of
The noises in the kitchen
Nervous hearted loneliness
Isn't it strange how the fear
That the ones we hold dear
Will fly away from us
Preoccupies our minds and bodies
But a picture of love
Took at the train station
Your eyes were enough
Tell me that you're tempted to dance
Tempted to give the foolish man I am
One more chance of love
And now I know that now you know
That I don't need a love that promises a thing
I just want to wake beside you in the morning
A little more often than I do
So put a little hope in your pocket
Tie a little ribbon round your love
If you're in a cage maybe kisses can unlock it
I for one would not find it that strange
If it were the one you love that you need the most
Every other morning with the tea and the toast
Cause we all need a little love
In the summer at night
Need a little love in the morning light my dear
And I need those loving arms
Once in a while

That Misplaced Love
02:12
|
|||
|
Drifting off to sleep
Wondering if you're keeping dreams of me
Darling little dreams of me
And if you are?
Tell me why would making them real go to far
What are you scared of darling?
Folding up my heart
Put it on the shelf before it comes apart in your hands
Don't you know that i'm your man?
So come on and call me up
Tell me that you finally found that misplaced love
Or at least you've been looking

Is the love you wanted
Broken down and haunted?
Is it a shipwreck?
Are the things you dreamed about
Burning up, falling down?
Are they derelict?
Have you fallen in the snow?
Are you tired of letting go?
If sunrise came for the last time
Would you be mine?
For just one morning
One afternoon, one night?
If all that we had to live was just another day
Is there something that I should be saying?
Some kind of prayer to make?
Well I don't know
How these things go
Hey ho
If all we have to live is just one day
Could our luck change?
Could our hearts be unchained?
What good would it do to lie?
Darling I think about all of the time
If sunrise came for the last time
Would you be mine?
For just one morning
One afternoon, one night?
If all that we had to live was just another day
