Can't Take It With You 04:05
lyrics
buy track
Can't Take It With You It's second nature Always looking out for No. 1 You say life's for winners But then again, you're Fortune's favoured son Everything comes easy But spreading it around just don't feel right You say shun the dreamers Leave the losers scrambling for the light Hey, but you know you can't take it with you Always with the great cars But you're the only one who sits inside You say it turns the right heads But who is it gets taken for a ride? Every option's covered, homework's done You leave no stone unturned Dial in 015, a little mobile rendezvous With those you'll burn Oh, but you know you can't take it with you Hey, just remember Oh, yeah, you know you can't take it with you Charity begins at home I guess that's why you're never there Loyalty's a burden you've discovered That's just far too hard to bear Every little thing you get Is just another piece you hide away Setting up your soldiers and then telling everyone That they can't play Hey, don't you know you can't take it with you? Just remember Hey, yeah, you know you can't take it with you © M. D. Cobcroft. All rights reserved.

I'm Outta Here 03:04

I’m Outta Here I thought we’d found forever I thought we had just what it takes But now you can’t deny it You treat me like some big mistake Sorry just won’t cut it baby This time there’s no room for maybe I’m outta here, I’m gone I’ve been waiting time here too long I’m on my bike and running You just can’t seem too stay around long And I need someone I can count on At first it seemed so perfect Yeah, just like all the love songs say But you keep disappearing And I can’t seem to make you stay When you act that way it’s frightening I’m straight out that door like lightning I’m outta here, I’m gone I’ve been waiting time here too long I’m on my bike and running I packed my gear and my mind’s set now I can’t forgive but I’ll forget somehow Nothing that you say or do will make me change my mind Nothing that you gave me will be hard for me to leave behind I’m outta here, I’m gone I’ve been waiting time here too long I’m on my bike and running I packed my gear and my mind’s set now I can’t forgive but I’ll forget somehow © M.

Let a Candle Burn 05:47
lyrics

Let A Candle Burn I stand before you Prisoner to a pain beyond control It soars through my veins And like a fire, burns my aching soul You turn away crying quietly at the sea The ocean wind seems to be calling out to me So when my shadow leaves your face When I'm gone beyond all trace Let a candle burn, let it burn tonight And when I'm far beyond your reach Watch the waves crash on the beach And let a candle burn Remember me by a soft warm light The night is clear Clearer than my heart has ever been And when I've sailed Will you both share the same things that we've seen? Questions that are darker than the sea swim in my mind And every wave that breaks erodes the life I leave behind So when my shadow leaves your face When I'm gone beyond all trace Let a candle burn, let it burn tonight And when I'm far beyond your reach Watch the waves crash on the beach And let a candle burn Remember me... Remember me and call my name if storm clouds brew The world's not big enough to keep me far from you Questions that are darker than the sea swim in my mind And every wave that breaks erodes the life I leave behind So when my shadow leaves your face When I'm gone beyond all trace Let a candle burn, let it burn tonight And when I'm far beyond your reach Watch the waves crash on the beach And let a candle burn Remember me by a soft warm light © M.

Libido Fire Call me your lover Call me your friend Call me your body baby ‘Til the very end Call me a doctor I think I’m goin’ fast Libido fire burns me up Like the wheel that keeps on Turning ‘round and ‘round Together we belong Just like the music and the sound There’s fire in my heart Tearin’ me apart Libido fire burns me up Libido fire burns me up Shower me with kisses Cover me with love Roll me with desire babe I just can’t get enough It’s in my system Goin’ ‘round and around my brain Libido fire burns me up again Like the wheel that keeps on Turning ‘round and ‘round Together we belong Just like the music and the sound There’s fire in my heart Tearin’ me apart Libido fire burns me up Libido fire burns me up © A.

(One Of The) Good Guys There may be lines upon my face There may be teardrops in my eyes Maybe my hair is out of place But I hope you realise I’m one of the good guys Don’t throw out the Christmas tree There might be presents you can’t see And if one of them is for me Don’t look too surprised ‘cause I’m one of the good guys Good guys aren’t thin on the ground Good guys, you’d think they can’t be found But I’m a lot like you, I’m not perfect But I’ll do Guess we all have got our dreams The more we look the more they gleam Sometimes some of them come true And I hope they do for you ‘cause I’m one of the good guys Good guys, they’re in every town Good guys, you know they can be found Every avenue, just look around you You’ll see it’s true I’m one of the good guys Don’t be too surprised ‘cause I’m one of the good guys © M.

Heaven 03:12

Heaven I opened up my eyes And I saw you standing there You took me by surprise I could not help but stare I was standing In no place, nowhere, no time Saying to myself Over and over in my mind I want you to give me all your love Say I do, never let me go Stay with me forever, forever When I’m with you I’m in Heaven In Heaven When I see you smile Oh, it brightens up my day I’m feeling like a child Waking up on Christmas Day Can’t imagine my life Without you near Say it now Say the words I want to hear I want you to give me all your love Say I do, never let me go Stay with me forever, forever When I’m with you I’m in Heaven In Heaven I’m on my feet, ain’t wasting no more time I’ll show you all the love I feel inside And it’s so easy just to fall into your arms Open up your heart I want you to give me all your love Say I do, never let me go Stay with me forever, forever When I’m with you I’m in Heaven In Heaven © A.

Long Gone 04:37
lyrics

Long Gone Writing this down is not the way to do it But if I saw your eyes I might not go through with it Your look of surprise would undo all my alibis So I’ll pretend that we are just friends And I will write that this is the end And baby I’ll be long gone Baby I’ll be long gone I’ll be far away and nothing you can say Will change that You’ll probably ask why I had to do it Shaking your head, your beautiful hair And I’d run my hand through it And I would think, maybe tomorrow I’ll go So I can only leave in shadows of the night I know what I believe so I can only write And baby I’ll be long gone Baby I’ll be long gone I’ll be far away and nothing you can say Will change that Baby I’ll be long gone Why did it have to go wrong? Now I’m shuffling the cards Leaving all the past behind me And maybe I’ll end up on some Devil’s Highway Pumping out gas, long hours and low pay Fighting a dream that I left behind me When each car that’s passing by Could be you still with that other guy © M.

The Past May Be the Future 04:56
lyrics
buy track
The Past May Be The Future In time when all is said and done Fortunes lost and found Battles fought and won What legacy for those who follow 
Innocently hopeful heirs 
Accepting that which isn’t theirs Hanging by the slightest thread The balance lays where angels fear to tread And who dares speak of what might come 
All is well 
but is it now? I wonder why instead of how I wonder why instead of how And I don’t need a shining beacon Showing me the way it’s going I don’t need a light to see it clear It seems the past may be the future And I can feel a cold wind blowing The seeds have all been sown And I’d give anything to see it change But the past may be the future

 Good intentions set the scene Great ideals come into play Or so it seems So tell me straight, just make it easy Do I hear the voices of the few Rising up for me and yo Rising up for me and you And I don’t need a shining beacon Showing me the way it’s going I don’t need a light to see it clear It seems the past may be the future And I can feel a cold wind blowing The seeds have all been sown And I’d give anything to see it change But the past may be the future

 See it, hear it, breathe it, feel it Tomorrow’s dream without a care Take it, make it, don’t forsake it Hope to try to hope to dare And I don’t need a shining beacon Showing me the way it’s going I don’t need a light to see it clear It seems the past may be the future And I can feel a cold wind blowing The seeds have all been sown And I’d give anything to see it change But the past may be the future

The Light 03:36
lyrics

The Light 
When I’m lonely, 
I will wait here for you To feel your warmth by my side
 If I’m standing face to face with the truth 
I need your sweet hand to guide me

 And if I’m wrong
 you will show me the way
 Out of the maze of my mind 
I will be strong, 
each and every day 
It’s here in my heart, 
that’s where it starts 

Oh I’ve seen the light in the sky tonight 
Must be the angels of the night
 Out of the dark into my life I’ve seen the light I’ve seen it with my eyes
 Well you came to my heart like a storm in the night Washed all my fears away Oh you took all the wrong and you turned it to right For all my sins you pray Now I know
 there’s a star in the sky Watching over me It makes me strong at the end of the day It’s there in your heart, that’s where it starts Oh I’ve seen the light in the sky tonight 
Must be the angels of the night
 Out of the dark into my life I’ve seen the light I’ve seen it with my eyes
 I’ve seen you standing there Alone with a face so cold Don’t you know that there’s someone there Just wait for the night © A. T. Payne. All rights reserved.

Room for Love 03:32
lyrics
buy track
Room For Love I’m cast adrift upon this ocean My heart still wanting more Driven by the waves I’m carried forward Towards the distant shore Your love lies on the horizon Will you take me on board? Is there room for love in your heart Or is it filled to the brim with what’s already been? Is there still time to make a new start? Is there room for love in your heart? On every street I find a signpost That says where I come from In every way I’m always trying To find a way back home Maybe you have found someone Or do you wake up alone? Is there room for love in your heart Or is it filled to the brim with your pictures of him? Is there still a light in the dark? Is there room for love in your heart? My door is always open See how the lock is broken And waiting tears me apart No more ‘til tomorrow It’s today we’ve got to make a new start © M. E. Caen. All rights reserved.
