M People Album

A boy and girl
in a mixed up world.
But ain't nothing wrong with the life that we can make.
Shelter me, help me breathe.
Let's celebrate a life that's made for us.

The longer it lasts and the better it gets
The longer it lasts and the better it gets
Falling in love, I've got no regrets
Raining down on me

So we can testify
You and I
Because your love has got me on a mighty high
Testify mmm yeah
You and I
I'm gonna testify cos you're the reason why.

Born to a kiss
A little tenderness
But it ain't no sin to be glad that you're alive.
My soul-mate, I can't contemplate
a solo life so come on let's make a life time.

The longer it lasts and the better it gets
The longer it lasts and the better it gets
Reach out for me, hold me tight and let's
Bring it down on me

Chorus.

Cos I believe in your magic spell
And I believe only time will tell
Every love has got it's problems
we'll solve 'em.
So take my hand and make a stand
Love will conquer all.

Chorus.

Sometimes the river flows but nothing breathes
A train arrives but never leaves
It's a shame
Oh, life like love that's walked out of the door
Of being rich or being poor
Such a shame

But it's then, then that faith arrives
To make your feelings alive
And that's why (why) you should keep on aiming high
Just seek yourself and you will shine

Chorus:
You've got to search for the hero inside yourself
Search for the secrets you hide
Search for the hero inside yourself
Until you find the key to your life

In this life, long and hard though it may seem
Live it as you'd live a dream
Aim so high
Just keep the flame of truth burning bright
The missing treasure you must find
Mm, mm, mm

Because you and only you alone
Can build a bridge across the stream
Weave your spell in life's rich tapestry
Your passport to a feeling supreme

Chorus

You've got to search inside yourself
Deep, deep down inside yourself, yeah
You've got to search inside yourself

Chorus

Search for the hero inside yourself (oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Search for the secrets you hide (all of the secrets you hide)
Search for the hero inside yourself (you'll find the hero)
Until you find the key to your life

You've got to search inside yourself
You've got to search

You've done me wrong,
Your time is up
You took a sip (just a sip) from the Devil's cup
You broke my heart, there's no way back
Move right outta here baby
Go and pack your bags
Just who do you think you are?
Stop acting like some kind of star
Just who do you think you are?
Take it like a man baby
If that's what you are
CHORUS:
'Cause I'm moving on up
You're moving on out
Movin' on up
Nothing can stop me
Moving on up
You're moving on out
Time to break free
Nothing can stop me,
Yeah

They brag a man has walked in space,
But you can't even find my place
Mm...there ain't nothing (not a thing)
You can do
'Cause I've had enough of me
Baby being part of you

Just who do you think you are?
This time you've gone too far
Just who do you think you are?
Take it like a man baby
If that's what you are

Repeat chorus

If you think the world owes you a ride,
you'll never find the reason why.
Boy you know it's down to you

Looking down, you'll only see your own two feet
Mumma used to say to me
take a walk down Angel Street.

So sweet thing (ooh)
Have I got news for you! (ooh)
Come and taste my soul food (ooh)
So what have you got to lose?

Angel Street, stand on you own two feet
Cos baby can't you see?
If we're to stay alive only the strong survive.

Don't you know, if you can't respect yourself
You'll be left on the shelf.
No-one's gonna carry you.

Walkin' tall, dreaming of love and pride.
Reaching up to the sky.
Arms and eyes are open wide

So come on, let's climb the stairs out of this.
Make a wish steal a kiss.
Boy what have you got to lose?

[Chorus]

Intro:

One night in heaven. One night in heaven. x2.

Sometimes I get to thinking. While you are far away.
just how much I miss you and how time it ticks away.
So sad when we are fighting, too much tension too much hate.
Sometimes I need reminding, before it gets too late.
Just one moment in my day. Take me up to a place
so far away in your heavenly space.

Chorus:

One night, one night in heaven. When you touch me.
You take me up high with the clouds in the sky.
One night, one night in heaven. When you kiss me.
You light up my life, make me feel so alive.

While people create problems, lie cheat in vain.
Come lay with me in my bed and wash away the pain.
Take me on a journey let the pleasure start.
Take me on a journey that leads straight to your heart.
Just one look I can see in your face.
You're my love satellite in orbit with you. Such a beautiful place.

Repeat chorus.

Middle section:

Just give me one night. Just give me one night.
Just give me one night. Just give me one night.
Ooh I'm in heaven baby. Ooh I'm in heaven baby.
I'm in heaven baby. I'm in heaven baby.

Repeat chorus.

(If you reach on high - do it. If you reach on high) [x2]
(If you reach)

Over bridge of sighs,
to rest my eyes in shades of green
under dreaming spires
to Itchycoo Park. That's where I've been.
(What did you do there?)
I got high...
(What did you feel there?)
Well, I cried...
(But why the tears then?)
Tell you why...

It's all too beautiful! [x4]

I'll tell you what I'll do.
(What will you do?)
I'd like to go there now with you,
you can miss out school.
(Won't that be cool?)
Why go to hear the words of fools?
(What did you do there?)
I got high...
(What did you touch there?)
I touched the sky...
(But why the tears then?)
I'll tell you why...

It's all too beautiful! [x4]

(Beaty) [x10]

(Beatiful) [x3]
(-ful yeah)

I feel inclined to blow my mind,
get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun.
They all come out to groove about
be nice and have fun in the sun.

(Beatiful) [x3]
(-ful)

(What did you do there?)
I got high...
(What did you touch there?)
I touched the sky...
(But why the tears then?)
Tell you why...

(It's all too beautiful!)

Beaty all around me.

Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love a surprise!
Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love a surprise! (x2)

Another dollar, another day,
same old routine in my way.
My eyes are achin', my body tired,
I'm all strung up you know, I feel so wired.
And then you walk, into the room.
Time stops, everything drops, boom boom boom.
Visions of love, heavens above!
I feel your body like a velvet glove, because...

You're a sight for sore eyes.
As a matter of fact,
at the drop of a hat,
you're my love surprise.

So radical, so very chic,
but without you I feel so weak.
When loverboy comes into sight,
I don't know why but it feels so right.
Need energy, a vitamin shock?
No way for me, you're what I got
Don't need no drugs, to make me high!
I just need to look you baby right in the eye, because...

Chorus.

Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love a surprise!
Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love a surprise! (x4)

I will climb the highest mountain
just for you.
Bring gold and silver to your door
just for you.
I will raise my glass up to the sky
just for you.
I will be your strength and be your pride
be with you.

I?ll make sweet soul music all night long
just for you.
Make you feel that you belong
just for you.
We?ll take a ride in the tunnel of love
just us two.
I will scream aloud at the altar of God
I love you.

[Chorus]
Just for you I?ll wash you down,
cleanse your soul and be around,
hold your hand and lead the way,
be with you all through your day.
Just for you I?ll sacrifice
everything in my life,
I will give all this to you,
dedicate my self to you...
Just for you, just for you, just for you, yeah (just for you)
Just for you, just for you, just for you (just for you)
Just for you, just for you, just for you, yeah (just for you)
Just for you, just for you, just for you (just for you)
I?ll be a shooting star in the sky at night
just for you.
I?ll be your mother of pearl, diamond girl
just for you.
I?ll lock the door, throw away the key
just for you.
I am the air that you breathe
I am you.

[Chorus]

I?ll terrorise, publicise, capitalise, mesmerise,
idolise, wave goodbyes to all the things you despise.

Just for you. Just for you.

[Chorus]

I?ll climb the highest mountain,
until I reach the top.
I?ll climb the highest mountain,
and I will not stop.
I?ll climb the highest mountain (highest mountain),
and I?ll never stop (never stop).
I?ll climb the highest mountain (highest mountain),
until I reach the top (reach the top).

I?m gonna climb that mountain (highest mountain),
I?m gonna reach the top (never stop).
I?m gonna climb that mountain (highest mountain),
I?m gonna reach the top (reach the top).

And I will not stop (highest mountain, never stop)
And I will not stop (highest mountain, reach the top)

Higher and higher and higher (highest mountain, never stop)
Higher and higher and higher (highest mountain, reach the top)

Just for you (highest mountain, never stop)
Just for you (highest mountain, reach the top)
Just for you.....

You're my masterpiece, my priceless friend,
my inspiration, love 'til the end.
Like a ray of light, a flower in bloom,
you change the day, sun and moon.

[chorus] [x2]
Colour my life, ooh child you've got to
colour my life. Mmmm I said
colour my life.
Fill my canvas with everything nice.

Like a cactus flower in the desert sand,
an oasis of love in a desolate land,
our emotions flow, paint from a brush.
Sweet thing I love you oh so much.

[chorus] [x3]

Colour my life, ooh child you've got to
colour my life. Mmmm I said
colour my life. Mmmm I said,
Fill my canvas with everything nice.

I enter the temple of holy love
and shout your name to God above.
I tell myself this is no game,
I only hope you feel the same.

They say that love's a two way thing
and all of the pleasures it may bring.
But our love will never be
until you give yourself to me.

[chorus 1]
How can I love you more?
How can I love you more?
Please tell me,
how can I love you more?
I give you a love so pure.

Loosing you would make me feel
helpless, weak, alone, unreal.
Life I could not contemplate,
I need your love don't make me wait.

Don't tell me it's not enough,
I try so hard don't be so tough.
I never felt this way before.
I'm sick, and baby, you're my cure.

[chorus 2] [x2]
How can I love you more?
How can I love you more?
Oooh baby,
How can I love you more?
I give you a love so pure.

[chorus 1]

(Dreaming) mmm
(Dreaming)
(Dreaming) woah, oh yeah
(Dreaming) mmm
(Dreaming)
(Dreaming) mmm
(Dreaming)
(Dreaming)

I close my eyes and see
A vision of what used to be
Such beauty

Undress me to the bone
Scatter seeds among the stones
Can't you see?

Imagine brown eyes, love and wonder, mmm
That's what keeps me from going under, ooh
Imagine passing through your shadow
A fly-by angel at your window, yes, indeed

Ooh, oh yeah
Am I dreaming again?
Dreaming of when
I thought you were heaven sent
But I wonder
Dreaming again
Dreaming of when
I thought love was innocent
But I wonder

Walking through empty streets
Gazing at your history
So blue, yeah

Deep in the heart of me
I just can't shake the memories
It's you, yeah

Imagine walking on the water, ooh
The past keeps coming back to haunt you, yes indeed

Ooh, oh yeah
Am I dreaming again?
Dreaming of when
I thought you were heaven sent
But I wonder
Dreaming again
Dreaming of when
I thought love was innocent
But I wonder

Dreaming again
Dreaming of when
I thought you were heaven sent
But I wonder
Dreaming again
Dreaming of when
I thought love was innocent
But I wonder

I have a dream (mmm mmm)
Do you have a dream?
(Oh yeah)
I have a dream
Dreaming of me
Dreaming of you
Dreaming of me
Dreaming of you

Imagine walking on the water, ooh
The past keeps coming back to haunt you, yes indeed

Ooh, oh yeah
Am I dreaming again?
Dreaming of when
I thought you were heaven sent
But I wonder
Dreaming again
Dreaming of when
I thought love was innocent
But I wonder

I have a dream (mmm mmm)
Do you have a dream?
(Oh yeah)
I have a dream
Dreaming of me
Dreaming of you
Dreaming of me
Dreaming of you

(Dreaming)
(Dreaming)
(You were heaven sent)
(Dreaming)
(Dreaming)
(Love was innocent)

(Dreaming)
(Dreaming)
(You were heaven sent)
(Dreaming)
(Dreaming)
(Love was innocent)

If I only knew how you feel,
I would give my heart to you.
And if you let me in on your deal,
Maybe I won't feel so blue.

Give me a signal- from the heart,
Some kind of sign boy- of who you really are.
Don't waste my time'cos- we've come too far,
You must decide now- if I'm your star

Open up your heart
Open up your heart
Make me feel apart
Open up your heart.

Why don't you wear your heart on my sleeve?
Then you can take your place by me.
And I've got more to give than you need,
Come on and end this misery.

Give me a signal- from the heart
Some kind of sign boy- of who you really are
Don't waste my time 'cos- we've come too far
It makes no sense now- when we're apart.

Chorus.

Someone to count on, in a world ever changin'.
Here I am stop where you're standin'.
What you need is a lover, someone to take over.
Oh baby don't look any further.
Strange when you think of our chances.
That we'be both been in a state of mind.
Too cool to be careless. Looking for the right thing.
Oh baby don't look any further.
Tonight we're gonna taste a little paradise.
Rockin' all night long.
Daylight I'll still be looking in your heavenly eyes.

Chorus:

Day o umba day o mambu ji ay o. Don't look any further.
Day o umba day o na jam bay um bay o. Don't look any further.

The world is cold and times are bad.
Everytime I think about it, it makes me sad.
War and drugs are everywhere
and it's getting so hard to breathe the air.
But it doesn't have to be like this,
all the rancour and bitterness.
If we can just open our eyes
we can make this world a paradise.

Someday.
We'll live as one family in perfect harmony.
Someday.
If we all pull together we will all be free.

Someday (someday!) [x3]

Free from the pressure and the prejudice
(FREE FROM OPRESSION AND PREJUDUICE )
we can change it all with tenderness.
There'll be no void between black and white.
We'll be able to walk the streets at night.
I won't be fooled while someone dies of starvation,
the whole world will be my nation.
We will walk hand in hand.
I'll go to South Africa and be called woman.

Someday.
We'll live as one family in sweet harmony.
Someday.
If we all pull together we will all be free.

Mmmm, someday.
We'll all be free - mmmm, you and me.
Someday (someday!) [x3]
We will all be free, (someday) free, FREE!

Someday!
I wanna be
Someday!
Free!
Someday!
Free!
Someday! [x2]
Someday! (someday) [x2]
Someday!

Someday we'll all be free... [x2]
Hmm,
someday [x6]
we'll all be free...
Hey I wanna be free, free, FREE!

There'll be no ghettos, no addiction.
All today's troubles will seem like fiction.
We will walk hand-in-hand.
I'll go to South Africa and be called woman.

Someday (someday!) [x2]
Hey , I wanna be
Someday (someday!)
Free!
Someday...
[repeat to end]

Boy there's so many things to give
I've been aware of your charms for so long
And there'snothing that you can do
To stop me from coming around

I'm coming
I'm coming,

I'm coming home I'm coming home
To your house
I'm coming home I'm coming home
To your house
I'll be your queen upon a throne
In your house
I'm coming home I'm coming home
To your house

You can build it from bricks and stone
But there ain't no use in being alone
So unlock your door I'm coming through
Coz this heart's got a message for you.

CHORUS

By land and sea I'm coming home
Come fly with me I'm coming home
I'll be your queen upon a throne
I'll make you scream aloud with joy.

I'll bring you gifts cash money too
I'll bring it all on home to you
There'll be no black, there'll be no white
There'll be no day there'll be no night.

Have mercy mercy mercy (X4)

CHORUS

Gather round people I just dreamt of this song
about all the World gettin’ along.
Human rights, no shallow graves
politician’s speak the truth, no one’s got Aids.
I look at a Muslim embracing a Jew
everyone's eating everyone’s food.
Free from diseases, ain’t no Third World
love is the message, love is the word.

[Chorus] [x2]
This is my island (island),
my fantasy (my fantasy),
my fantasy (fantasy).

There’s a welcome mat at the centre of the earth.
No sign of hate, a four-letter word.
The children are playing in air you can breathe
people got dreams, people achieve.
Everywhere’s music, sunshine and laughter
we still feel the same the morning after
words in the air, love in the heart.
This is my dream, a brand new start

[Chorus] [x2]

(This is my fantasy) [x8]

Believe in me baby.

[Chorus 2] [x2]
Say what have we got
we got the power (we got the power).
Got sixty seconds, got every hour (every hour).
Say what have we got
we got the power (we got the power).
We are the spark to light the fire (light the fire).
Got one blood, got one skin
got one soul deep within.
Got a heart beating fast
got a dream got no past.

Say what have we got.

This is my, this is my, this is my fantasy. [x2]

[Chorus] [x2]

(This is my fantasy) [x8]

(Don't be a fool)

He came from somewhere back in her long ago.
The sentimental fool don't see,
Tryin' hard to recreate what had yet to be created,
Once in her life.

She musters a smile for his nostalgic tale.
Never coming near what he wanted to say,
Only to realize,
It never really was.

She had a place in his life.
He never made her think twice.

As he rises to her apology,
Anybody else would surely know.

He's watching her go.

What a fool believes, he sees.
No wise man has the power, to reason away.

What it seems to be is always better than nothing,
And nothing at all...

Keeps sending him somewhere back in her long ago,
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life.
Someday, somehow, she will return.

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice

As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know

He's watching her go

What a fool believes, he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away

What it seems to be is always better than nothing
There's nothing at all

But what a fool believes he sees...

What he don't see, he don't believe
