SWING OUT SISTER

now you're not here

Love was young
We saw beyond a sky that had no limits
Much higher than the highest star
Beyond the furthest planet
We thought that we could change the world
And everything in it
But time ran out of endless hours
Gave into doubt, were we just playing an endless game
That no one ever wins

If I could run away
Hide away
Forget the way feel
But your memory keeps haunting me
Convincing me it's real
Now you're not here
Now you're not here

Love and hate
Left up to fate
A life we took for granted
We couldn't stop our running from the things we always wanted
No long goodbyes
No tears to cry
And nothing to believe in
But now you're gone
We'll never know a love that's grown
Time took away
All that it gave to the two of us

If I could run away
Hide away
Forget the way I feel
But your memory keeps haunting me
Convincing me it's real
Now you're not here
Now you're not here

When our hearts were young and nights were long
We'd let the morning sun kiss our eyes open
Precious dreams that we had now they are dead and gone
The promises we made have all been broken

If I could run away
Hide away
Forget the way I feel
But your memory keeps haunting me
Convincing me it's real
Now you're not here
Now you're not here

If I could run away
Hide away
Forget the way I feel
But your memory keeps haunting me
Convincing me it's real
Now you're not here
Now you're not here

In my arms
In my life
Lovin' you, is just a memory
Now you're not here
Now you're not here
With me now, in my arms, in my mind, in my life

so long

When I read your letter I couldn't believe that you'd gone.
I dialed your number but no one answered the phone.
I asked your friends to tell me if they knew where you were,
they said they thought you were ill.

I hired a detective to try and find out where you are.
He managed to trace you, he said you are living in France.
A watchman saw you climb into someone else car
and drive off laughing in the night.
Why didn't you tell me?
Not leave me this way.
You could told me and not waited for so long.

I've tried to forget you but I find myself walking on the street.
I went to the doctor and he gave me something to sleep.
I've sent you telegrams but you haven't answered one.
Your mother told me best leave you well alone.
I hope you're satisfied now you've done this to me.
I hope you're pleased with what you've done.
Why didn't you tell me? Not leave me this way.
Oh you could have told me and not waited for so long.

For so long
I never realized just exactly who you are.
For so long
I never realized the girl I had before.
For so long
I hope you're satisfied you won't hear for me again
For so long
I hope you're pleased with what you've done.
Why didn't you tell me?
Not leave me this way.
Oh you should have told me and not waited for so long.

LOVE AND ROCKETS

if there's a heaven above

Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith
Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith

He's been looking now
For a long time
It seems the more he looks
The less he wants to see
He turned to the west
For a long time
He turned to the east
Then he turned to the west again

If there's a heaven above
In the meantime
If there's a heaven above
Let it be near
If there's a heaven above
In the meantime
Then let it be near
Let it be near to me

We've been talking now
For a long time
It seems the more we speak
The less we seem to say
If there's a hell below
In the meantime
Then let us shut up
Unless we want to pray

He saw everything real too clearly
So close that the bones would show
And to see everything so clearly
Isn't always the best thing you know

If there's a heaven above
In the meantime
If there's a heaven above
Then let it be near
If there's a heaven above
In the meantime
Let it be near, let it be near to me

Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith
Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith

PETER MURPHY

cuts you up

I find you in the morning
After dreams of distant signs
You pour yourself over me
Like the sun through the blinds
You lift me up
And get me out
Keep me walking
But never shout
Hold the secret close
I hear you say

You know the way
It throws about
It takes you in
And spits you out
It spits you out
When you desire
To conquer it
To feel you're higher
To follow it
You must be clean
With mistakes
That you do mean
Move the heart
Switch the pace
Look for what seems out of place

On and on it goes
Calling like a distant wind
Through the zero hour we'll walk
Cut the thick and break the thin
No sound to break no moment clear
When all the doubts are crystal clear
Crashing hard into the secret wind

You know the way
It twists and turns
Changing colour
Spinning yarns
You know the way
It leaves you dry
It cuts you up
It takes you high
You know the way
It's painted gold
Is it honey
Is it gold
You know the way
It throws about
It takes you in
And spits you out
You know the way
It throws about
It takes you in
And spits you out
It spits you out
When you desire
To conquer it
To feel you're higher
To follow it
You must be clean
With mistakes
That you do mean
Move the heart
Switch the pace
Look for what
Seems out of place

It's o.k.
It goes this way
The line is thin
It twists away
Cuts you up
It throws about
Keep me walking
But never shout.

ATOMIC KITTEN

whole again

If you see me walking down the street
Staring at the sky
Dragging my two feet
You just pass me by
It still makes me cry
You can make me whole again

If you see me with another man
Laughing and i'm joking
Doing what I can
I wont' put you down
Cause I  want you around
You can make me whole again

Looking back on when we first met
I can not escape and I can not forget
Baby you're the one you still turn me on
You can make me whole again

Time is layin' heavy on my heart
Seems I've got too much of it
Since we've been apart
My friends make me smile
If only for while
You can make me whole again

Lookin' back on when we first met
I can not escape and I can not forget
Baby you're the one you still turn me on
You can make me whole again

So now I'll have to wait
But baby if you change your mind
Don't be too late
Cause I just can't go on
It's already been too long
But you can make me whole again

Lookin' back on when we first met
I can not escape and I can not forget
Baby you're the one
You still turn me on
You can make me whole again

THE FREE DESIGN

kites are fun

I like flying
Flying kites, flying kites, flying kites
Kites are fun, kites are fun, kites are fun

See my kite, it's fun
See my kite, it's green and white
Laughing in its distant flight
All that's between us is a little yellow string
But we like each other more than anything
And we run along together through the field behind my house
And the little drops of rain caress our face and wash my blouse
And we'd like to be a zillion miles away from everyone
Cause Mom and Dad and Uncle Bill don't realise

Kites are fun, kites are fun, kites are fun
Kites are fun

See my kite, it's green and white
Laughing in its distant flight
All that's between us is a little yellow string
But we like each other more than anything
And we run along together through the field behind my house
And the little drops of rain caress our face and wash my blouse
And we'd like to be a zillion miles away from everyone
Cause Mom and Dad and Uncle Bill don't realise

I like flying, flying kites, flying kites
Kites are fun, kites are fun, kites are fun
Kites are fun
See my kite, it's fun (See my kite, it's fun)
See my kite, it's fun (See my kite, it's fun)
See my kite, it's fun (See my kite, it's fun)

I'll be missing you

Yeah,
this right here goes out to everyone
who's lost someone that they truly loved....
Check it out....

Seems like yesterday we used to rock the show
I laced the track, you locked the flow
So far from hangin' on the block for dough
Notorius they got to know that
Life ain't always what it seem to be
Words can't express what you mean to me!
Even though you're gone we still a team
Thru your family I'll fulfill your dreams
In the future can't wait to see if you'll
Open up the gates for me
Reminisce sometime the night they took my friend
Try to black it out, but it plays again
When it's real feelings hard to conceal
Can't imagine all the pain I feel
Give anything to hear half your breath
I know you still livin' your life after death

Every step I take, Every move I make,
Every single day, Every time I pray
I'll be missing you

Thinking of the day
When you went away
What a life to take, What a bond to break
I'll be missing you

(We miss you, Big....)

It's kinda hard wit you not around
Know you in Heaven smiling' down
Watching us while we pray for you
Everyday we pray for you
Till the day we meet again
In my heart is where I keep you friend
Memories give me the strength I need to proceed
Strength I need to believe
My thoughts, Big, I just can't define
Wish I could turn back the hands of time
Us and the six shop for new clothes and kicks
You and me taking' flicks
making hits, stages they receive you on
Still can't believe you're gone
Give anything to hear half your breath
I know you still livin' your life after death

Every step I take, Every move I make,
Every single day, Every time I pray
I'll be missing you

Thinking of the day
When you went away
What a life to take, What a bond to break
I'll be missing you

Somebody tell me why...

One that morning
When this life is over
I know, I'll see your face

Every night I pray, Every step I take,
Every move I make, Every single day
Every night I pray, Every step I take,
Every move I make, Every single day
Every night I pray, Every step I take,
Every move I make, Every single day
Every night I pray, Every step I take,
Every move I make, Every single day

Every night I pray, Every step I take,
Every move I make, Every single day

Every night I pray, Every step I take,
Every move I make, Every single day

(We miss you...)
