(Payne/Rodford)

Can I feel your hair soft on wet skin
Deep inside I bleed from the blade within
Can I reach the burning, burning moon
Can I change this madness, lust consume
Breathing out and breathing in - begin

Suddenly I wake from a calling sweat
Blood red water on my head
Was I only dreaming the flesh so real
What would another good sin reveal

Breathing out and breathing in
I can't fight the drug within
Feel the first hit to the heart

You're my shot, your my obsession
Hear the voices say
I can't turn and walk away - yeah
You're my shot, your my obsession
Hear the voices

Oh - how I need to hold onto fire to win
Pumping through my veins love's adrenalin
Can you hear those voices

Breathing out and breathing in
I can't fight the drug within
Feel the first hit to the heart

You're my shot, your my obsession
Hear the voices say
I can't turn and walk away - yeah
You're my shot, your my obsession
Hear the voices say

(Downes/Warman)

In the movement of the waves
Feel the rushing of the wind
You're in everything I see

Like a visionaries dream
Preaching to the silence
It's waiting for me

Like a moon under the water
There's a sky under the sea
This world is like an ocean
An it's drowning me
There's a moon under the water

Throw a stone into the pool
See the ripples run forever
And, time, for longer still

See the moon under the water
And the sky under the sea
This world is like an ocean
An it's drowning me

There's a moon under the water
There's a sky under the sea

(Payne/Nye)

She sends her smile by satellite
Steaming up the screen at night
Got the mouth, knows how to squeeze
Every line of make-believe
In the flesh, just like a dream
Fingers touch the fantasy
To hold so close, her lips near mine
Bodies on the borderline

Oh, when the lights went down
I held my breath
But she held the freeze frame

Love like the video
Why can't she love like the video

Captured hot on thirty-five
Tempting all to idolise
Leading lady, pleading man
Picture post, L.A., Cannes
Every take is just like the first
Every fake so well rehearsed
Passions are the cruelest part
Deception in the coolest heart

Oh, when the lights went down
I held my breath
But she held the freeze frame

Love like the video
Why can't she love like the video

(Schwartz)

Walking down the avenue
Every step I take I see you
There's nothing more that I can do
To hold back from crying

It's not that I don't have the time
To hear your voice would only cost a dime
I'm gonna save myself a dime
And you know why

'Cos in the night, when you're alone
And there is no one you can turn to
As you're reaching for the phone

Don't come to me
I won't be there you see
You turned this heart to stone
Now you'll walk alone
So don't come to me

How did I get left this way?
I must have been born yesterday
Every single word you'd say
Were lies, lies, lies

Still walking down that avenue
Every step I take I see you
There's nothing more that I can do
To hold back from crying

Don't come to me
'Cos I won't be there you see
You turned this heart to stone
Now you'll walk alone
So don't come to me

(Downes/Warman)

Hey you, you're walking down a New York street
Feel the tension in the midday heat
You're walking on blood
TV, it's all there on a Japanese screen
East, West, there's no in between
Now, we just love "The Reds"

Everything is now because the past is dead
You've got to look forward if you want to get ahead
What kind of person sells a young person drugs?
You bring them up good but don't call them thugs
Third world stories, well they make the news
It's a five minute wonder, call it...

Satellite blues
Any way the wind blows

Dive, dive! Underground is just the place to be
So cool, it keeps the city clean
Now walk on by

I said "Walk, walk, don't run!"
Don't you know you've got to follow the signs?
This life's so cruel, so cruel to be kind
It's a one-way street

You've got to live on the edge just to make a big deal
This life's big fun, man, it's like a roulette wheel
What kind of world would let these children die?
There's so much money we could all retire
We could all live happily if we choose
But it's a five minute wonder, call it...

Satellite blues
Any way the wind blows

(Lynne)

She cried to the southern wind
About a love that was sure to end
Every dream in her heart was gone
Headin' for a showdown

Bad dreamer, what's your name
Looks like we're ridin' on the same train
Looks as though there'll be more pain
There's gonna be a showdown

And it's rainin all over the world
It's raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night

She came to me like a friend
She blew in on a southern wind
Now my heart is turned to stone again
There's gonna be a showdown

Save me, oh save me
It's unreal, the suffering
There's gonna be a showdown

And it's rainin all over the world
It's raining all over the world
Tonight the longest night

(Downes/Payne)

I told her, I'd hold her
All through that first cold winter
Defend her, protect her
From our darkest demons

Then spring came, our world changed
We found a different corner
Still heading, still searching
For what we had that season

I thought I was so strong, a man on a blue mountain
The sword in my hand, but my thoughts in the clouds then
See them
Hear them

I would never change another day
If that season was the one to stay
I swear I'd never change another day

Ten years now, I've waited
For that coldest winter
No whiter, no wiser
And all we hear is thunder

I thought I was so strong, a father on a mountain
The sword in my hand, but my thoughts in the clouds then
See them
Hear them

I would never change another day
If that season was the one to stay
I swear I'd never change another day
(Repeat)

Ten years now, I've waited
For that coldest winter
No wiser, no whiter
Oh how I miss that season

You said time would heal all the scars inside,
But hurt seems to grow not die
No matter how I try
I regret the things that I've said
Can't forget the words you misread that night
I know I was unkind
Sitting here all alone
How I wish I could change the past
Feelings hidden, unshown
Behind the mask

Can't stop the rain from falling
Can't stop the world from turning
Can't take the cold, the hurting
Can't tell these walls I'm missing you

Fallen down, can I pick myself up from the ground?
Look at the face of this clown
I've tried to hide the tears
Sitting here all alone
How I wish I could change the past
Is there ever a chance?
Still the river flows

Can't stop the rain from falling
Can't stop the world from turning
Can't take the cold, the hurting
Can't tell these walls I'm missing you

(Downes/Payne)

He kept it all inside - alive and screaming
Tears were not his style, his pride was leading

I watched the light dancing on the sea
As it turned to grey
Oh, how I wish that the tide would soon return
Someday, someday

I've a right to cry
That's not giving in
Scars from you and I, scars we kept within
There's a right to cry, it's not giving up
With my right to cry, now I've had enough

It's hard to break the bones of life, of living
A side you'll never show, let go, don't need it

Hold on, hold on, hold on
I can see in your eyes and I know how you're going to feel

I watched the light dancing on the sea
As it turned to grey
Oh, how I wish that the tide would soon return
Someday, someday

I've a right to cry
That's not giving in
Scars from you and I, scars we kept within
There's a right to cry, it's not giving up
With my right to cry, now I've had enough
