Sugar Coated 03:21
Sugar Coated Life's too short, too complicated, I'm all for speaking plain Tell it like it is don't overload it, help to keep us sane The world goes by in the blink of an eye, getting faster by the day So much trouble and so much strife, what more is there to say Heave-ho the winds may blow and knock me off my feet Hells bells now here I go, I just can't keep the beat Back into some kind of reality, back inside my shell Back in time to find some serenity, leave behind this hell Sugar coated, makes a bitter pill seem fine Sugar coated slips down easy just like wine In years gone by when time went slow, you could always sit and think But now I find I'm all behind, and I think my boat will sink So now our lives are just a blur, even yesterday's gone grey If you can't keep up you'll soon get stuck, your feet will turn to clay Heave-ho the winds may blow and knock me off my feet Hells bells now here I go, I just can't keep the beat Back into some kind of reality, back inside my shell Back in time to find some serenity, leave behind this hell Sugar coated, makes a bitter pill seem fine Sugar coated slips down easy just like wine

Plaything 03:29
Plaything Don't ask me twice I'm not your clown I say no dice And I won't back down One of my triggers If there's one at all Is I won't be messed with I won't play ball You know I'm wise to all your tricks I'm wise to how you get your kicks I'm not your little play-thing anymore I might be short I might be small But you know something You don't scare me at all One of my triggers If there's one at all Is I won't be messed with And I will stand tall You know I'm wise to all your tricks I'm wise to how you get your kicks I'm not your little play-thing anymore Square up to you with a force so strong You think you're right but I'll prove you wrong This may just come as a shock to you But I'm not gonna do what you want me to I'm not your plaything anymore I'm not your plaything anymore I'm not your plaything anymore I'm not gonna be your plaything anymore You know I'm not your rag doll Lying on the floor I'm not gonna be your little play thing anymore

All I Really Want To Do I was halfway to heaven I was halfway to hell When you came out of nowhere saved by the bell I was a wandering generality You made me specific – changed my centre of gravity Good things come to those who wait I don't think that's true though I hesitate Good things come to those who go and get I'm not in their number but there's no regret All I really want to do Is spend lots of time with you All I really want to do Is spend all my time with you I won't watch the football when you want to go out I won't just go missing of that there's no doubt I will wash the dishes – do some of the chores If you'll say you'll have me, I'll always be yours I was halfway to nowhere where I spend most my time Nothing much happening a gentle decline No motivation no goals to acquire You came along – set my soul on fire Good things come to those who wait I don't think that's true though I hesitate Good things come to those who go and get I'm not in their number but still there's no regret All I really want to do Is spend lots of time with you All I really want to do Is spend all my time with you I won't chat for hours with friends on the phone Or ask where you're going or when you'll get home I will wash the dishes – do some of the chores If you'll say you'll have me, I'll always be yours

I'll Trust In You Is it so unexpected is it so extreme Is it so far out beyond our wildest dreams That maybe we could meet in the middle And talk about our hopes and wishes Maybe we could stop before our minds Become so suspicious I'll trust in you but you gotta trust me too I'll hold out for something better we could do So tired of the fighting it's never any good What we both really need is to be understood Let's hold back from making a mistake Any more fighting and my heart will break Do we always have to be right, will we never learn For the sake of saving face will we crash and burn It's happened so many times before read your history But why it has to happen again remains a mystery I'll trust in you but you gotta trust me too I'll hold out for something better we could do So tired of the fighting it's never any good What we both really need is to be understood Let's hold back from making a mistake Any more fighting and my heart will break

Panning For Gold This is the story of a man searching for gold Bound for California He carried on his back a pick and a shovel And a pan and a sleeping roll His only clothes they were on his back His only shoes well they had holes He can't recall when he ate his last meal And now that was taking its toll Give succour to the man on the dusty trail Give something to keep him alive Panning for gold, he was panning for gold, Truth be told he hadn't found a nugget Another day like this – he wasn't gonna cut it Give succour to the man on the dusty trail For the love of God give hope Give succour to the man on the dusty trail For the love of God give soap He didn't have a gun but he was good with his hands He could fight like the devil's own He didn't have a plan but he did have guts He did have a girl back home But the dust storms broke that farmers life Tore it all to shreds It left them hungry it left them broke And they just newly wed Give succour to the man on the dusty trail Give something to keep him alive Panning for gold, he was panning for gold, Truth be told he hadn't found a nugget Another day like this – he wasn't gonna cut it Give succour to the man on the dusty trail For the love of God give hope Give succour to the man on the dusty trail For the love of God give soap He got to the valley and he staked his claim Then he slept the whole night through Saw a river nearby and he washed his clothes And he washed his body too The next day dawned dusty and bright That sun was in it’s sky He grabbed his pick-axe by the handle And he swung it up real high Give succour to the man on the dusty trail Give something to keep him alive Panning for gold, he was panning for gold, Truth be told he hadn't found a nugget Another day like this – he wasn't gonna cut it Give succour to the man on the dusty trail For the love of God give hope Give succour to the man on the dusty trail For the love of God give soap So unlucky in love but lucky at cards You can lay in the gutter but be looking at the stars This man found gold and it saved his life He and the money went back to his wife Panning for gold, he was panning for gold, Panning for gold, he was panning for gold, Give succour to the man on the dusty trail For the love of God give hope Give succour to the man on the dusty trail For the love of God give soap

Holy Mercy Me Holy mercy me, we let it go too far Of all the stupid things who do we think we are It was something it was nothing Now it's gone up in flames Of all that's gentle of all that's true I just don't know what I will do Of all that's sane of all that's right What will get me through this night Somethings gotta give but it can't be me I know this is a test anyone can see But I'm feeling so weak I'm feeling so lame Of all that's gentle of all that's true I just don't know what I will do Of all that's sane of all that's right What will get me through this night The more I live the more I learn The more I crash the more I burn The more I seem to fade away As day is turning into night The shadows now replace the light The more I seem to lose my way

To Make You Strong With passion as it grows There's a willingness that flows Over everyone The power that's in you To make it all come true Is strong Everywhere you go Feel a spirit that will flow And it's never done As long as there is hope There is life And we all belong We're all strangers on a journey to where we never know We're strangers at the mercy of where the winds may blow Hold me up if I should stumble Lift me up if I should fall Back me up whatever troubles may befall I'll help you out if you should struggle Help you out when things go wrong Be a brother when you need me, to make you strong

It’s A Secret I can't say My hands are tied I can't write a letter I won't say Though my tongue is dry So I can't say it better If all the tea in China packed in wooden crates Was delivered to my door, still I can't relate It's top secret For my eyes only It's a secret I know that's guaranteed to make you scream and shout No one likes a secret till the secrets out Sorry to frustrate you but I can't say more Time will be the key to open up this sealed door I won't say Thats' how it lies No words to be spoken I shan't say No way José My word can't be broken If all the tea in China packed in wooden crates Was delivered to my door, still I can't relate It's top secret For my eyes only It's a secret I know that's guaranteed to make you scream and shout No one likes a secret till the secrets out Sorry to frustrate you but I can't say more Time will be the key to open up this sealed door It's top secret For my eyes only It's a secret

Follow Me 03:34
Follow Me Broken streetlights and thrown-away clothes These streets need a clean-up, now heaven knows Things are not what they were, the times have changed Since the days of plenty were so rudely rearranged Let me take you down to the river Where the water runs clear and free Somewhere your dreams can still deliver Follow me, follow me Far away places and far away friends Sometimes it's hard to see where this loneliness will end With millions of people but so few that I know Can you point the right direction tell me which way to go Let me take you down to the river Where the water runs clear and free Somewhere your dreams can still deliver Follow me, follow me I don't know what it is, but something has changed Nothing's like it was, it's all been re-arranged I can't pin it down, but something has gone Something at the heart of it has simply moved on Maybe it's a change in the air Or something in the way that I care Maybe it's just something in me Let it be, let it be Let me take you down to the river Where the water runs clear and free Somewhere your dreams can still deliver Follow me, follow me I'll take you down to the river Where the water runs clear and free Somewhere your dreams can still deliver Follow me, follow me

It'll Blow You Away There's only one go, there's only one chance There's only one opportunity to grow There's only one life, there's only one hope Make a stand for unity and so Give it your best, give it your all Give it the maximum that you can Give it a go, no holding back Stick precisely to your plan There's so much to gain There's so much to say There's so much to savour It'll blow you away So much you don't know So much in the way It will all be revealed It'll blow you away There's only one me, there's only one you There's only one time to start anew There's only one thing, can stand in your way And that's the fear you face today This is your moment, this is your time This is your chance to make it shine This is your fate, this is your due This could be everything you want it to There's so much to gain There's so much to say There's so much to savour It'll blow you away So much you don't know So much in the way It will all be revealed It'll blow you away

Cozy Up 03:08
Cozy Up It's time to start a new game Let's get rid of the old Cast away those old habitual Habits that have taken hold Something new and tantalising Something better than that Something to make the spirits soar The old ways are feeling flat Out with the old and in with the new In with the bold that's what I'll do Goodbye to all that holds me back Hello to something new If it's shiny I want more of it If it's bright then I'll have two If it makes me happy then I want more If it makes glad it'll do Cozy up to my new regime Cozy up to something new Cozy up to a wonderful feeling Cozy up with you, with you, cozy up Cozy up to my new regime Cozy up to something new Cozy up to a wonderful feeling Cozy up with you When the morning comes and it brings the sun I wanna be in the front row When the breezes blow the warm air through I wanna be in that flow When the morning comes and it brings the sun I wanna be in the front row When the breezes blow the warm air through I wanna be in that flow Lindo maravilhoso, Pra caramba Que saudade, Fala sério

High Time 03:25
High Time The waiting is over, all the planning is done I'm thinking it over, is it lost or is it won? The moment arrives, the time has come Will it change our lives, or will it darken the sun It's high time, it's way beyond time It's high time, it's way beyond time It's one of those moments that we'll never forget A pivotal moment we will praise or regret The waiting was hell but this moment is key It's now that we learn what the future will be It's high time, it's way beyond time It's high time, it's way beyond time

Have A Nice Day In this winding alley way that makes up my life Sometimes the sun is shining, more usually it's strife I just can't get it rolling, easy now on wheels It's a bump start every morning ever so slightly uphill I don't think that complaining is helping my free will I wonder if my bank account can handle all the bills As surely as the sun will rise and bring a brand new day I wish I had a handle on some clever things to say Have a nice day That's the least of my worries Have a nice day That's the least of my cares Just Have a nice day I guess that's all it comes down to Won't you Have a nice day Something we can all share My life has got so complicated, too many strands in play It's time to deconstruct it all and live a simple way Resistance is the cause of all the friction in my day Now here's a chance to let it go and hear you when you say Have a nice day That's the least of my worries Have a nice day That's the least of my cares Just Have a nice day I guess that's all it comes down to Won't you Have a nice day Something we can all share

The Shock Of The New There's a new spirit of progress that's growing inside A spirit of progress we'll follow its guide There's a change in the air as to what we will do A spirit so strong it's the shock of the new It's the shock of the new It's the shock of the new It's a spirit so strong it's the shock of the new The descendants of Noah all spoke the same tongue But the Tower of Babel god smashed it in one The people were scattered to places far flung The confusion of language then made them undone Earthquakes and lightning that splintered the sky Broke the tower of clay made the rivers run dry The people were scared and in fear though and through The change that came in was the shock of the new There's a new spirit of progress that's growing inside A spirit of progress we'll follow its guide There's a change in the air as to what we will do A spirit so strong it's the shock of the new It's the shock of the new It's the shock of the new It's a spirit so strong it's the shock of the new Revolution restitution resolution Evolution revelation activation It's the shock of the new It's the shock of the new It's a spirit so strong it's the shock of the new As the old ways of living will no longer do The change that comes in is the shock of the new As the old ways of living will no longer do The change that comes in is the shock of the new It's the shock of the new It's the shock of the new It's a spirit so strong it's the shock of the new It's the shock of the new It's the shock of the new It's a spirit so strong it's the shock of the new
