Lyrics
Gigi
In sweetness, you came
Arms around me close Almost forgot my name a world within a primrose
You danced around my dreams Like shadows in the night
And no one really new The dragon that you slew
Perfection is flawed It's all hyperbole
My sole is in the jaws - of the creature of the sea
And now you’ve gone to sea I can't see you now
But behind every imagery door. -- is me
And I hoped just for a friend But won beyond belief
Princess rest still waters Far above the reef
The Disciples got afraid When the good Lord went to sleep
And just when he awoke He chased the clouds away
It’s a cold eternity I hope that some fine day
That is where you’ll be
My angle
Gi

Acrobat
Well, I’m standing on a ledge, looking over the edge
I’m losing all resistance, but I can see you from a distance
When I’m walking the high wire, I never care about that
It's been this way for so many years, and that’s why, oh that’s why, I’m an acrobat
When I’m walking on the water, oh they say it can't be done
But I just break into laughter, cos I’m the only one
Who can walk on the high wire, I never care about that
It's been this way for so many years, and that’s why, oh that’s why, I’m an acrobat
Take this message to the world, and try to make some sense
To spread some love around, could be your best defence
So don’t be so surprised, If I keep us both apart
Some of the tricks I do are dangerous, so your safer where you are
Yeh!! You could walk the high wire, you might just lose your hat
But it takes a lot of getting used to if you wana be, if you wana be, an acrobat
When you're walking in the high wire, when you're walking in the high wire
Last Dance
We've still got some time left yet
to beat those freaks on the internet
tell me how much you'd choose to bet
on the two of us on the two of us on the two of us
Well, I might be a lonely son
pockets empty and nothing gets done
when they see me well most will run
and its a thankless task - its a thankless task- its a thankless task
And if you wanna have fun - I might be the only one
your heroes start to run when they hear the starting gun
if you wanna have fun - I might be the only one
gimme this chance, save me this dance cos it could be the last one
OOOH OOOOH OOOOH
A starving man he takes what he can
a salad bag or a tuna can
from the lagan down to the ban
he sings the song of the boatman
the song of the boatman
song of the boatman
And if you wanna have fun - I might be the only one
your heroes start to run when they hear the starting gun
if you wanna have fun - I might be the only one
gimme this chance, save me this dance cos it could be the last one
OOOH OOOOH OOOOH
1000 Clocks
Last night a giant hand crawled over the city
Invisible, don't understand, how it could be so scary
Six numbers, small change, not sure it was worth it
The full moon faces the stranger, the moon cried down to the earth
The feeling was exponential, Plugging me in like a jukebox
Shes so Inconsequential, like the ticking of a thousand clocks
Last night a giant mouth, proved true the power of suggestion
Visible, clearly heard, It only left me to question,
When I'm confused, she's amused, you won't even find half a heart
I want to turn, I want to run, but I don't know where to start
The feeling was exponential, in disarray like a toolbox yea
She's so inconsequential, like the ticking of a thousand clocks
She takes it all in her stride,
I'm sure there's nothing left inside her
To make me that rich
What once was implied,
Is shouted from the rooftops, and my hands are tied
My hands are tied
And I'm never gonna be apart, of the lottery of your heart
I'm never gonna be apart, of the lottery of your heart
No no
No no
No no
No No No, Well I tore up my ticket so give me some credit
Last night a giant hand crawled over the city
Way to your heart
If someone asked me for directions, I can always get them there
I've got the answers to all kinds of
Questions, I haven't read a lot of books I swear
But I know my way across the city
I could give anyone a start
But I don't know, no I don't know The way to your heart
Well I cast you up in iron, I put you on a pedestal
And I made myself a sacrifice to make you a hero
Just though that you should know
I know my way down every blind alley
But the one thing that tears me apart
Is I don't know, no I don't know
The way to your heart
Well I could cover you I kisses or smother you in anger
Would you think I was a jerk?
I might try a little sensitivity or creativity but
Would anything work?
Cause if I could, I know I would
Hit you with loves little dart
But I don't know, no I don't know the way to your heart
The way to your heart
Your secret heart
Golden days of summertime, beautiful and blue earth
Memories are rushing in out of time,
Although there mine, for what it's worth
I can dream anything, the sound of a distant voice,
I can fly anytime, I don't know why I even try, I have no choice
And I've just had the most stupid idea in the world
As I float above the earth,
That I'm someone, and everyone needs someone,
Just wanted to send a message through
A hundred things that I would like to say to you would only be a start
Just needed to make it up to you
Where I stand nothing is hidden from my view, but I just can't see
I just can't see your secret heart,
Your secret heart your secret heart your secret heart
Silver bird getting high, oblivious to the scene
That's down below, where all of the flowers grow
Even they know that I say what I mean
And I've just had the most stupid idea in the world
As I float above the earth,
That I'm someone, and everyone needs someone,
Just wanted to send a message through
A hundred things that I would like to say to you would only be a start
Just needed to make it up to you
Where I stand nothing is hidden from my view, but I just can't see
I just can't see your secret heart,
Your secret heart your secret heart your secret heart
Nightingales
Dreams they say are like nightingales, they can fly away
I don’t believe in tomorrow, I believe in today
You sit with one hand clapping, I watch the wheels
You gotta walk for miles in these shoes to know how it feels
Well I can always extend my reach, but I'm not saying you must
You can learn what I gotta teach but you just
Might as well let those nightingales fly
I build my castles in the air, from the sweet by and by
You gotta listen to what dreams say now, cause miracles happen every day
And I believe there’s one coming my way, oh wow
Dreams they say are like setting suns, they don’t say so long
They believe that there right, I know they’re wrong
Cause I believe in the things I believe and
And I know there’s a fire burning somewhere though you can’t perceive it
You gotta listen to what dreams say now, cause miracles happen every day
And I believe there’s one coming my way, oh wow
Oriental Art
Here I am
And I watch you swim, against the tide
It must be my pride
So face my demands –
This coin ill toss
Heads or tails - deep or wide
These rivers I cross swallow me inside
Make a wish, it comes true, and anyone can tell you
How to play the strings of my heart
And I wish that I knew something pure
Like oriental art in the land of the immortals
And did you find
The elixir that makes things clear
With nothing to fear
This gives peace of mind
All this way why did you stay when I've nothing to give
And not much to say excepting my heart and the
Music about the life I live - back to chorus to fade
Make a wish, it comes true, and anyone can tell you
How to play the strings of my heart
And I wish that I knew something pure
Like oriental art in the land of the immortals
Completely
I sit and watch the clock, as the time ticks away
And I count the hours until you are mine
Is it tomorrow, is it today?
Don’t you wanna be loved?
Well I guess everybody does
And I have a heart, and I have a love
That anyone would be proud of
Can't wait until the night, when you say it's alright
And you stop trying to win, all you can do is give in
But sweetly and completely
Completely
Completely
SO sweetly and completely
Completely
Completely
California Sunshine
Don’t call the fire brigade
Can’t stop these fires from burning
And the last thing I want to hear today is that old story again
And if the everglades, ever let a scream for mercy
Gonna stop my ears for years and years, let my motor run
Do they know what they’re doing?
That the road to heaven is the road to ruin
California sunshine I breathe the air in, Yeaaa it feels fine
You see some visions, you talk about direction
Will the future blame the present flame when there’s no money left to burn
So goodbye to the tv news, and all that mother nature blues
So much better blind if it freeze the mind of what dangerous to learn
And do they know what they’re doing
That the road to heaven is the road to ruin
California sunshine, I breathe the air in, yeaaa it feels fine
And do you love the night? The rain comes in but never mind
All is black and white when visions down your colour blind
And excuse me if I don’t hear what you’re saying
I almost thought by now you’d be on your knees and praying
California Sunshine, I breathe the air in yea feels fine
