Are you the best? Or the equal of every man on this earth?
I introspect. I can have anything that I could want
Yet I need for nothing.........Oh nothing
'Cos the spirit of life is within you
Breathing with ease through the whole of you
And deeper inside is within you, searching until we find a way
To jump out now, jumping around now
Cause sooner or later we'll be gone
What will be left is the benefit of all we've learnt before,
And what's the test? It's the dignity of every man.
You will need for nothing, oh nothing
You will need for nothing, oh nothing
. . .

I know the desert can't hold all the love
that I feel in my heart for you
If I could spread it out across the sea,
I know my love would cork it up
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
If the bees only knew how sweet you are baby
They would seal up their honeycomb
If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is
They would tighten up the song
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Your lips are so sweet, honey you're my every need
You got a smile so rare
A love like yours I just can't compare
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
If the cook in the kitchen had a touch as hot as yours
They wouldn't need a fire
I can't think of a word that describes you better
Than the sight of her
. . .

I wanna look into your eyes again
I wanna look into the windows of your soul...again, again
Who's to know where time will lead us now?
I can't believe this is happening now
I'm not scared, I'm just wondering how
I wanna see your eyes
All the time we've shared between us now
The feeling I have needs me to make a vow
Now as I leave I must return somehow
Cause I wanna see your eyes
When I look at you I fumble, my confidence takes a tumble
But when I look into your eyes, I just crumble
'Cos I know that it's you that my heart burns for
That it's you that I'm yearning for
Who's to know where time will lead us now
I can't believe this is happening now
Well I'm not scared, I'm just wondering how
I wanna see your eyes, I wanna make it right

The first time was the best time
The language you use
You gotta be careful what you will choose
And the first high was the best high
You're made of flesh and blood
Yet it makes you feel like wood
Oh the first time was the best time
The first line was the best line
It's hard to learn to beware
Spending thousands of pounds in a year
And worthwhile, is it worthwhile?
Ever wondered why you need more and more
to reach that sky?
Oh the first time was the worst time
And the sky is a gypsy
Oh, will I die with her with me?
Oh the best time is the worst crime
Oh the first time, oh may be the worst time
Oh, worthwhile, is it really worthwhile?
When the sky is a gypsy
Oh, will I die with her with me?
And the sky is a gypsy
Will I die with her with me?
Oh no, no, no, no
The first time
Maybe the worst time
Oh no...
Will I die with her with me?

This is your God (repeat)
As we wander back into the universe
We render ourselves into a higher plane
Believing we will never wonder why again
He surely must be laughing Mr. Universe
Seeing us slowly head towards our goal
Only the joke is we don't know what it is at all
Yet our Gods teach us divinity
And we go on searching for you and me
As for the universe
This is your God
The order's truly random in the universe
And where will we be in a thousand years?
Soothingly searching to allay our fears
Well now we've wandered backwards to eternity
We're changing the concept of belief in time
Re-arranging the clock that dictates our minds
Yet our Gods teach us divinity
And we go on searching for you and me
As for the universe
This is your God
As for the universe
This is your God
This is your God

Do I feel jealousy when you're free without me?
Maybe
Do I feel that my love will stay with you forever?
Hopefully
In memoriam of my lovers will you sleep with me forever?
Oh most certainly I never did doubt you
You surround yourself with trinkets like they're meaningful possessions,
baby
Like some squirrel in the garden with expensive permutations,
Save me
They'll outlive you in the end will be your final realisation
Oh most certainly I never did doubt you
Words for girlfriends parading as songs
to be living with songs, yet without you
Words for girlfriends parading as songs
'Though I never ever really did doubt you, no...
As we search our lives forever for perfection in relations,
Ladies
I can dream of love and scheme of love with all its complications,
Shakily
Ideals are fine for beauty but for love they fool relations
Oh most certainly I never did doubt you
Words for girlfriends parading as songs
to be living with you, yet without you
Words for girlfriends parading as songs
'Though I never ever really did doubt you,
No I never ever really did doubt you
As we search our lives forever for perfection in relations,
Ladies
I can dream of love and scheme of love with all its complications...
They're just words, only words

I thank you for the things you have shown me
Thank you for the love of my life
So far anyway, now it's really really over
O God I really thank you baby
Most of all I thank you for your love
Like good people should do anyway
I thank you
I really thank you
All of my life
I really thank you
My souvenirs I hold them and remember
All the days for the rest of my life
Truth is I miss you in all the ways you will imagine
See me, feel me I wanna say
Most of all I thank you for your love
Like good people should do anyway

Man made the gun a sado-sexual machine
It's slaughter brings you to your knees
Man made the gun
Who is the person that is holding on?
What's in his mind, where is he looking from?
Isn't he the one we should be gazing on, contemplating on?
'Cos man made the gun
Man shapes the son
Man made the gun
While there is evil in this world
We try to save our boys and girls
Man made the bomb
That doesn't mean that we should turn them on
Or ever yearn him on
'Cos man made the gun
Man shapes the son
Man made it, man made it

This land is real, real as the next man
This land is there for all to see
You're standing there so cold and calm
You stand so close to me
And you out there can keep away
There's nothing owed to you
All I want's to lose myself and stay so close to you
The river is cruel its pipes are sprayed with long forgotten names
Big boys now with kids whose lives will never feel the same
If you out there don't get what I say, there's nothing owed to you
To feel that way is born inside no matter what you do
I wonder how my fortune fell
When everything began to melt
The case I had for wasting that
That never came
I want to walk away again
Away again
Away again
There to wonder how those things will never be
Searching for that grand illusion fools have called the key
If you don't care just keep away, how can I give hope to you
Nearer now are both our futures, me, our hearts and you
And yet all I want is to lose myself and stay so close to you
All I want is to stay so close to you

For those who are in love
I'm with you babies
How can it be that we feel this way?
For those who are a bluff
I fear you ladies, how can you treat little me this way?
It's a drug that brings you pleasure and pain
It's a love that leaves you crying in the rain
Yeah I'm your lover, Oh I'm your lover
A ring-a-ling, Ting-a-ling lover
A sing-a-ling, Ting-a-ling lover
How can it be when you're with me baby
You feel the same way as me?
I hope you're not a bluff, 'cos I need you baby
Do you feel the same way as me?
There's an invisible contact between us
A hope and a dream that the words the poets
Have been writing are real
More than a dream
More than just a sex machine
But a lover...
. . .

Wave the Old World goodbye
It's time to say hello to the New World
Praying it will be right
That the world may soon see the light
I'll be waving, oh waving
And I'll be waiting...
Sure the old folks have tried
But now it's time for us in the New World
Pray that it will be right
That the earth don't turn out the lights
Wave the Old World goodbye
It's time to say 'goodnight' to the Old World
Let's pray that it will be right
So the world will soon see the light
I'll be waving, oh waving
And I'll be waiting, oh waiting this night
It's time to say 'goodnight' to the Old World
It's time to say 'hello' to the New World
And wave the Old World goodbye....
I'll be waving, oh waving
And I'll be waiting, oh waiting this night
It's time to say 'goodnight' to the Old World
Time to say to say 'hello' to the New World
And wave the Old World goodbye... tonight
