Love System

Hey boy in the corner there
You’re keeping people at bay
The others dance, you sit and stare
It doesn’t really have to stay that way
Take a chance and free yourself
don’t get left on the shelf

Hey girl on the dance floor
don’t get carried away
You’re looking good, but are you sure
You look to good by the light of day
Take a chance and free yourself
don’t get left on the shelf

Love system, love system – all have the chance
Love system, love system – get up and dance
Love system, love system – everyone’s there
Love system, love system – let down your hair

Love system, love system…

Hey mother it can’t be true
You’re just not making sense
Now You’re alone it won’t help you
To sit alone on the garden fence
Take a chance and free yourself
don’t get left on the shelf

Love system, love system – all have the chance
Love system, love system – get up and dance
Love system, love system – everyone’s there
Love system, love system – let down your hair

Love system, love system…

Cause I know that there’s a love system
It’s a circus, it’s a fate
If you’re unhappy, trust the love system
Now is never too late

It’s up you to change your way of life
Take a chance and free yourself
don’t get left on the shelf

Love system, love system…

Ballet Dancer

When you’re dancing you’re fantastic
All you’re dressed in is elastic
You make art with twirls and spins
can’t wait till the show begins

Anyone can see
You were made to dance for me

Won’t take no – no for an answer
You’re my you’re my ballet dancer
Won’t take no – no for an answer

I’ve been here for every show
There’s not a step that I don’t know
I know your body small and neat
dancing on your dancing feet

Anyone can see
You were made to dance for me

Won’t take no – no for an answer
You’re my – you’re my ballet dancer
Won’t take no – no for an answer

A Wild Romance

I guess you can’t imagine
Just what it meant to me
When one look was sufficient
To transform seconds into eternity

Life is too short
To waste it in this way
To stare through one another
And to pretend everything will be okay

Feelings of longing, imagine a new desire
Feelings of longing, the one thing that I require

A wild romance with you
A meeting by chance with somebody new
A wild romance with you
A wild romance with somebody new

I think you know
That habit causes apathy
And how I hate this loneliness
That surrounds us when you are with me

Feelings of longing, imagine a new desire
Feelings of longing, the one thing that I require

A wild romance with you
A meeting by chance with somebody new
A wild romance with you
A wild romance with somebody new

Private Eye

I don’t know you
Nor do I need to cause you’re so near
don’t speak to you
But every word that you say I hear
can’t betray me
All of your secrets are known to me
Nor deceive me
I see things nobody else can see

I can see inside your home and your mind
But my motives are good you will find

Well I’m a private eye
I’m watching you all the day and the night
I’m a private eye
I simply can’t let you out of my sight

I am with her
I am the shadow down by her feet
I’m the stranger
Who’s rented the room just across the street

I can see inside her home and her mind
But my motives are good she will find

Well I’m a private eye
I’m watching her all the day and the night
I ‘m a private eye
I simply can’t let her out of my sight

Facts Of Love

Since we met each other yesterday
my life’s changed in a most remarkable way
I arrived there late but still you waited
Since that time I’ve been infatuated

I’ll never have to worry again about falling in love
She is the woman that I’ve been dreaming of

The way you look, the way I feel
These are the facts of love
The beating heart I can’t conceal
These are the facts of love

Since you left me last night at the station
I’ve been in a state of fascination
I only need to look into your eyes
And hear you say there’ll be no more goodbyes

I’ll never have to worry again about falling in love
She is the woman that I’ve been dreaming of

The way you look, the way I feel
These are the facts of love
The beating heart I can’t conceal
These are the facts of love

Not The Loving Kind

Is this what you call life
Asking for trouble and longing for strife
You’re chasing me
the rumour ‘s rife

Your intention’s all too clear
Calling me up and calling me dear
And filling me
With dread And fear

I can’t deny it’s true that love is blind
If you can’t see that it’s all in the mind
Just leave me be I’m not the loving kind
It’s plain to see I’m not the loving kind

You know you won’t succeed
In winning cocks with chicken feed
The sings are there
For you to read

Your efforts are effete
The stakes too high for easy meat
Why don’t you just
admit defeat

I can’t deny it’s true that love is blind
If you can’t see that it’s all in the mind
Just leave me be I’m not the loving kind
It’s plain to see I’m not the loving kind

Must Have Her Back

The raindrops rattle on the window pane
As if the rain will never end
This loneliness is driving you insane
You said your will would never bend

You said your will was ever constant
That men of principle keep cool
No thought of phoning for an instant
But now you’re asking who’s the fool

Just admit – you must have her back
It is true – admit – you’re out on your luck
Without her – to love – you’re lost in this world
Without her – admit – you must have her back

And so you still refuse to ring her
You tell yourself that she’s a flirt
If she’s a flirt you’re a beginner
Who are you really trying to hurt

I see you standing all alone now
It must be hurting underneath
You say you want to stay at home now
I think you’re lying through your teeth

Just admit – you must have her back
It is true – admit – you’re out on your luck
Without her – to love – you’re lost in this world
Without her – admit – you must have her back

Face the facts – you knew – you must have her back
It is true – admit – you’re out on your luck
Without her – to love – you’re lost in this world
Without her – admit – you must have her back

Why Don’t You

Every morning, every evening
You find fault and hit the ceiling
What have I done to deserve this
Is this really marital bliss

Assaulted and peppered with screams
This is a nightmare it seems

You want to go
You say you’re leaving
Why don’t you

All you want is to possess me
You’re beginning to depress me
You give me more than I can take
All I dream of is escape

Assaulted and peppered with screams
This is a nightmare it seems

You want to go
You say you’re leaving
Why don’t you

Men Of Destiny

We are the advocates
Of a better world
We cannot be bargained with
only bought or sold

The technological era
Will gain ascendancy
We derive our power
From pure energy

The technological era
Will modernize our time
Progress for everyone
Who agrees to tow the line

We are men of destiny
Men of muscle and brain
And without men of destiny
This planet has no aim

We await the day of judgement
It’s not so far away
As long as we survive the fall-out
Everything will be okay

Between The Woman And You

You know that we both need
The chance to be alone and free
And yet still we both have to return
To the warm embrace of the other’s arms

But this time I can’t find my way to you
It used to be such on easy thing to do
I feel nothing but weariness
From fighting for our happiness

You look at me, I turn away
I just can’t think of a word to say
How could I ever explain the plan
Of something I don’t understand

I can feel a breeze behind me
The breath of a world that’s spinning around
There ‘s a storm that beats inside me
An earthquake that roars without making a sound

I am standing here, balanced between the woman and you
can’t make up my mind to choose between the woman and you

You know that we both need
The chance to be alone and free
And if I don’t make it back this time
You know I’ll never return again

I can feel a breeze behind me
The breath of a world that’s spinning around
There’s a storm that beats inside me
An earthquake that roars withoat making a sound

I am standing here, balanced between the woman and you
can’t make up my mind to choose between the woman and you

CD bonus tracks
A Little More Alive

We talk a lot together
And think we’ll talk so forever
Our differences are put under sedation

We share a light by which we see
Within our world of secrecy
Joined in an internal exploration

We are happy this way
Let our thoughts carry us away

I feel a little more alive
You and me we’re drifting with the tide
I feel a little more alive
You and me we’re drifting side by side

Of love we never spoke a word
Somehow it seemed just to absurd
To interfere with our imagination

We share a light by which we see
Within our world of lunacy
Joined in an internal exploration

We are happy this way
Let our thoughts carry us away

I feel a little more alive
You and me we’re drifting with the tide
I feel a little more alive
You and me we’re drifting side by side

Heaven In Your Smile

Moments of dismay
Grip my body tight
And hold me here
I want to escape
To break off these chains
of doubt And fear
It’s an emptiness
It’s the feeling I get
Without You

I only exist
For the memory
That you were mine
A Picture’s engraved
Upon my minds eye
Of a forgotten time
It is distant now
It is meaningless
Without You

There is heaven in your smile
And a light is in your eyes
It’s a secret you can’t hide
There is heaven in your smile

Time passes by
And only confirms
Everything I feared
All of the things
That I once lived for
have disappeared
It’s a hollow world
It’s a world without aim
Without You
You are lost to me now
And it’s lonely here
Without You

There is heaven in your smile
And a light is in your eyes
It’s a secret you can’t hide
There is heaven in your smile….
