Rio
Rio is calling to me
Tempting me away from the cold and the rain
I wish I was flying down to Rio tonight
To feel the heat sweeter than sugar cane
Under the gaze of Christ the redeemer, sipping sherveza by day
Velvet cloaked night, I’ll find my Latina, dancing the night away
Carnival it’s a riot of sound
Feel the pulse, carmalitas go by
Bare feet on the sand and love in my heart
Paixao emoda eu tea mo
At dawn we’ll be strolling along ipanema, watch the sun rise with a kiss
Sway to the beat that we stole from the ‘dromo, latin American bliss
After a while find a sleepy cantina
Brush the sand from our feet
And lose ourselves in that samba beat.
That insistant beat is just rain on my roof
It pulls me back from my tropical dream
Rio’s calling but she’s fading away
Blowing a kiss like a carnival queen
And now with regret I’m back on the treadmill working by night and all day
I try to hold on to that glorious feeling; Rio’s calling, but she’s fading away
Rio’s calling but she’s fading away

Love Burnout
You put me through this love burn out
You’re in my head and I’m inside out
It takes me up when you’re coming down
Don’t put me through this love burn out
I see you now that you’re close to me
I’m seeing through your insecurity
You don’t hear me though I scream and shout
Don’t put me through this love burn out
I’d follow you over land and see
I’d chase away all the impurities
I’d hold you tight as we begin to live
I’d show you all that I’ve got to give
I’d follow you over land and sea
I’d chase away all the impurities
I’d catch your tears in the pouring rain
I’d take the pleasure and I’d take the pain
I tell you now how it’s going to be
You can walk with him or fly with me
We can do it now I have no doubt
Don’t put me through this love burn out.

Don't Tell Me What To Do

Don’t Tell Me What To Do
Don’t tell me what to do
Just tell me how to do it
I’ll tell you what I want
And what I want to do
Just tell me how to do it
Clean up your room, how can you live in that mess
Put your iphone away girl, prepare for your test
Don’t forget your gym bag, say hi to your nan
Do the dishes, find your shoes, come on, as fast as you can
Look after that ipod, don’t leave it around
And do something with your hair, girl, you look like you’ve drowned
Clean you teeth, clean your face, clean up after the cat
Do as I say and honey don’t do that
Do this do that do this do that
Chorus
Pick up your clothes, come on, pick up your feet
Play with your sister and don’t try to cheat
Do what I say, girl, don’t do what I do
Why? Because I say so, don’t give me that look
Oh – in a perfect world
I’d be floating above your heads on a cloud of dreams
All I want is a place somewhere
Where I can build a world on hopes and dreams
Don’t do that, do this, don’t do this,do that
Don’t do this, do that, don’t do that, do this
Do as I say and , honey, don’t do that
Do this, do that, do that, do this ……
Don’t tell me what to do You can’t always do what you want
Just tell me how to do it Sometimes you have to give way
I’ll tell you what I want Sometimes …..
And what I want to do
Just tell me how to do it You have to do what I say

Something’s Got To Change
I saw you watching him across the room
With that look on your face
Candlelight caught the mischief in your eyes
What’s new, it’s such a disgrace
I can’t believe that you’re doing this again
Don’t push me too far ‘cause I can’t stand the pain
I don’t want you to lie to me anymore
If you do I’m gonna walk out that door
Have I made it plain?
Something’s gotta change
Something’s gotta change
Remember how it was in the early days
Now you need to make a choice
You used to tell me everything
Seduce me with your softest voice
But now every word you say is causing pain
If I’m not here tomorrow don’t you dare complain
My friends are telling me
Telling me you’re no good
I’m defending you
But every time I do
Behind my back
You’re sneaking around again
And when I ask you
You say he’s just a friend
I don’t want you to lie to me anymore
If you do I’m gonna walk out that door
Have I made it plain?
Something’s gotta change
Something’s gotta change

In My Head

In my Head
On those breezy days when I dream of summer
And the rain beats down like the funky drummer
I think of you on a beach somewhere
With the sun beating down and bleaching your hair
Lying back on the sand with a golden smile
I hear you say, Why don't you stay awhile?
But I'm just seeing you in a tube train window
You're not there, I can't touch you but one thing I do know
You're in my head and in my heart
The worst day of my life was when I left you there
In the sad remains of the life we shared
Those tears in my eyes were not for show
Crying alone, crying down the phone
I never lied to you when we were together
I told you straight it couldn't be forever
I said, I'm leaving now to make a new start
But in one sense we'll never be apart
You're in my head and in my heart.

The Man Who Broke Her Heart
I remember when she was happy and naive
Finding joy in everything
In her little world of make-believe
And I remember when he pushed his way into her life
He was so strong and true
And said I'll marry you
and so she prayed that he'd change his life
Well she believed his lies and signed up to a life of thrills
Of secret meals and hotel rooms
Dreaming of the day when he'd be hers for real
But that day never came
He threw her out when he got bored
And then threatened her with the force of law
If she ever breathed a single word.
To the world at large he can do no wrong
A megastar among stars
But to me he'll always be the man who broke her heart.
I see him now and then on the chat shows and the news
Spouting words like love and trust
A family man with old-fashioned views.
And every now and then I stop and think what might have been.
If she'd told the truth and watched him squirm
She never did so he's image still pristine.
To the world at large he can do no wrong
A megastar among stars
But to me he'll always be the man who broke her heart.

I Remember

I Remember
I remember the Cornish beaches
Making marks in the sand
Drawing inspiration from the sun
Jobs to do that never got done
Chorus:
Don’t forget your childhood
Times you’ll never live again
When you need reflection
Thinking back to your early days
When it always seemed to be summertime
Seagulls calling across the bay
Soaring through the summers day
Across the sand I hear the waves
Rising and falling through the haze
Chorus x 2
Summertime – my inspiration
Summertime – when you need reflection
Summertime – for relaxation
Summertime – no distractions

Life in the Fast Lane
You say you’ve got a position
And it’s paying you well
But it means that your day is spent travelling on the road to hell
If you want my opinion
You should get out now
I say life is too short to be worshipping a holy cow
Life in the fast lane is getting you down I know
And all that paraphernalia
That you just don’t need
You bought all that dumb stuff to satisfy your inner greed
Life in the fast lane is taking you far away
She’s got a sweet disposition
You should be treating her well
You say that you love her but she finds it hard to tell
You should be looking to downsize
Take her out of the town
Take your eye off the ball for once and take a look around
Life in the fast lane has taken you far away

The Only Girl For Me
Well I’ve been calling all day but you don’t wanna know
Avoiding me, not calling me, where’s this gonna go
A friend said I don’t stand a chance but what does he know
Cause I’m the only boy for you
Been chilling so long that I’m freezing cold
Hawaiian shirts and converse cause you’re never too old
I should be more ambitious that’s what I’ve been told
But you’re the only girl for me
I’d be more humble, but I’m so damn good
I’d be more honest, if I thought that I should
I’m as smooth as can be, now that’s a fact
People say I’m lazy, I’m just waiting for the right time to act
You told me I’m a loser and to keep away
You don’t know what you’re saying I’m the catch of the day
I’m the best that you can hope for with your teeth that way
I’m the only boy for you
So you finally called and you told me to wait
I thought you where anticipating our second date
But you brought along your brother and a few of his mates
You’re not the only girl for me
I’m not the only boy for you
You’re not the only girl for me
I’m not the only boy for you
Hmmmm … Is that your sister?

I Want To Go Home

I Want to go Home
I wish I could float away like Major Tom
Drift across the universe on some astral plane
Looking back I sometimes wish that I'd played along
Look at all the time we wasted playing games
Go Home
I wanna go home
Sitting on a park bench by the motorway
The gravel sprayed by passing cars takes my breath away
And I think of you
And what you'd say
I wish that I'd found nirvana like Major Tom
Drifting, falling, spinning - right through the sun
Looking back my life was like a nursery crime
But I know I went too far that time
Go Home
I wanna go home
The bad times and the good times seem the same to me
You showed me to the door but I forgot the key
And I think of you
Do you think of me?
Every time I think of you I want to go home.
