Rio 07:30
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 03:26
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 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 05:04
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 05:44
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 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.
