Take On Me
We’re talking away
I don’t know what I’m to say
I’ll say it anyway
Today’s another day to find you
Shying away
I’ll be coming for your love, OK?
Take on me
Take me on
I’ll be gone
In a day or two
So needless to say
I’m odds and ends
But that’s me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK
Say after me
It’s no better to be safe than sorry
Take on me
Take me on
I’ll be gone
In a day or two
Oh the things that you say
Is it life or just to play my worries away
You’re all the things I’ve got to remember
You’re shying away
I’ll be coming for you anyway
Take on me
Take me on
I’ll be gone
In a day or two
Train Of Thought
He likes to have the morning paper’s
Crossword solved
Words go up words come down
Forwards backwards twisted round
He grabs a pile of letters from a small suitcase
Disappears into an office
It’s another working day
And his thoughts are full of strangers
Corridors of naked lights
And his mind once full of reason
Now there’s more than meets the eye
Oh, a stranger’s face he carries with him
He likes a bit of reading on the subway home
A distant radio whistling tunes that nobody knows
At home a house awaits him, he unlocks the door
Thinking once there was a sea here
But there never was a door
And his thoughts are full of strangers
And his eyes to numb to see
And nothing that he knows of
And nowhere where he’s been
Was ever quite like this
And his thoughts
And at heart
He’s full of strangers
Dodging on his train of thought
Train of thought

Hunting High And Low
Here I am
And within the reach of my hands
She’s sound asleep and she’s sweeter now
Than the wildest dream could have seen her
And I catch her slipping away
Though I know I’ll be hunting high and low
High
There’s no end to the lengths I’ll go to
Hunting high and low
High
There’s no end to lengths I’ll go
To find her again
Upon this my dreams are depending
Through the dark
I sense the pounding of her heart
Next to mine
She’s the sweetest love I could find
So I guess I’ll be hunting high and low
High
There’s no end to the lengths I’ll go to
High and Low
High
Do you know what it means to love you
I’m hunting high and low
And now she’s telling me she’s got to go away
I’ll always be hunting high and low
Hungry for you
Watch me tearing myself to pieces
Hunting high and low
High
There’s no end to the lengths I’ll go to
Oh, for you
I’ll be hunting high and low
The Blue Sky
I find it hard to breathe
As life just eats away
At the faces that surround me
They look tired today
The lady at my table
Doesn’t want me here
I just want to talk to her
But would she laugh at my accent
And make fun of me
Oh, it doesn’t seem like this
Blue sky’s here for me
There are no girls in here
As far as I can see
Only pin-up posters
Looking down at me
Watching papercups of coffee
Growing cold before my eyes
All the things I see
That make me realize
I’m in this big world without you
Nothing to my name
Oh, I never knew that
Blue sky meant such pain
I’m dying to be different
In the coffee shop
I’ve lived on borrowed strength
Now my supplies are cut
Though I’m older than my looks
And older than my years
I’m too young to take on
My deepest fears
Oh, I used to be confused
But now I just don’t know
Since you left I’ve been watching
Blue skies come and go
Since you left I’ve been watching
Blue skies come and go
Living A Boy’s Adventure Tale
I’ve fixed my dwelling for the night
Lights in pairs come passing by where I hide
I need some time now on my own
Leave my loneliness alone
To lick my wounds
Night has found me just in time
to help me close my eyes
One more time
Living a boy’s adventure tale
In so many ways
Living a boy’s adventure tale
For so many days
I’m living a boy’s adventure tale
Can’t escape, if I wanted to
Living a boy’s adventure tale
I may be dreaming but I feel awake
I’ve been lost in so many places
Seeked love in so many faces
A change of weather
the rain pours down
My head in hands
pressed to the ground
And where am I supposed to go now
Living a boy’s adventure tale
In so many ways
Living a boy’s adventure tale
Living a boy’s adventure tale
A voice I hear
Living a boy’s adventure tale
Singing a lullaby for me
Living a boy’s adventure tale
Because of you
Living a boy’s adventure
Oh you know it’s true
Living a boy’s adventure tale
In so many ways
For so many days
I love you, I love you
So many ways
The Sun Always Shines On TV
Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on TV
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
To me
I reached inside myself
And found nothing there
To ease the pressure of
My ever worrying mind
All my powers waste away
I fear the crazed and lonely looks
The mirror’s sending me these days
Please don’t ask me to defend
The shameful lowlands
Of the way
I’m drifting gloomily through time
I reached inside myself today
Thinking there’s got to be some way
To keep my troubles distant
Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on TV
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
And You Tell Me
Please don’t hurt me
I have told you
All my love is all I’ve got
And tomorrow is the day
When I for your sake
I’m coming back
And you tell me
That I don’t love you
I’m trying hard to make you jealous
Trying harder to make you stay
Days are longer
Night are crazy
It’s so strange when you’re away
And you tell me
That I don’t love you
Please let me come to you
And stay this time
And you tell me
That I don’t love you
Oh you know
That it’s just not true
Love Is Reason
My breath was coming fast
And as I make a start
You turn to go
Oh, oh
I’ll do what you want me to
I’ll cry at the thought of the loss of a heart
Love is reason
Love is reason
Love is reason
Love is reason enough
My morals are changing fast
I told you it wouldn’t last
You turn and go
Oh, oh
I’ll be what you want me to be
I’d die at the thought of the loss of your heart
Love is reason
Love is reason
Love is reason
Love is reason enough
I Dream Myself Alive
Dream myself alive
I dream myself alive
You can’t deny
There’s something dark
Against the light
All I can say
It doesn’t have to be this way
We’ll be chasing our tails madly
See days pass like wildfire
Right from the start
I knew this world would break my heart
I dream myself alive
Dream myself alive
I dream myself alive
Break my heart
And dream myself alive
What can it mean
Can it be
I’m drawing pictures of the sea
Right from the start
I knew this girl would break my heart
Dream myself alive
Dream myself alive
I dream myself alive
Dream myself alive
Dream myself alive
I dream myself alive
Here I Stand And Face The Rain
Help me, I need your love
Don’t walk away
The dark scares me so
We’re nothing apart
Let’s stay friends forever
Forever
Here I stand and face the rain
I know that nothing’s gonna be the same again
I fear for what tomorrow brings
Trust me for who I am
Place all your faith
Into these hands
I got nothing to say
But let’s stay friends forever
Forever
Here I stand and face the rain
I know that nothing’s gonna be the same again
I fear for what tomorrow brings
Here I stand and face the rain
I know that nothing’s gonna be the same again
I fear for what tomorrow brings
Here I stand and face the rain
Knowing nothing’s gonna be the same again
Here I stand and face the rain
Knowing nothing’s gonna be the same again
