1.A Little Respect
a little respect
I try to discover
A little something to make me sweeter
Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
Why you're making me work so hard
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
Soul, i hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me
And if i should falter
Would you open your arms out to me
We can make love not war
And live at peace in our hearts
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
What religion or reason
Could drive a man to forsake his lover
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Soul, i hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
You know you're making me work so hard
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
Soul, i hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me
Soul, i hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me
2.Ship Of Fools
I can't believe what is happening to me
My head is spinning
The flowers and the trees are encapsulating me
And i go spinning
He was the baby of the class you know
He really didn't know that one and one was two
Two and two were four
He was the baby of the class you know
He really didn't know that, really didn't know that
Oh what a poor soul
Oooh, do we not set sail on the ship of fools
Oooh, why is love so precious and so cruel?
I close my eyes and i try to imagine
What you're dreaming
Why can't you see what you're doing to me
My world is spinning
He was the baby of the class you know
He really didn't know that one and one was two
Two and two were four
He was the baby of the class you know
You were so young and so uncertain
Suffer little children
Oh what a poor soul
Oooh, do we not set sail on the ship of fools
Oooh, why is love so precious and so cruel?
He was the baby of the class you know
He really didn't know that one and one was two
Two and two were four
He was the baby of the class you know
You were so young and so uncertain
Suffer little children
Oh what a poor soul
Oooh, do we not set sail on the ship of fools
Oooh, why is love so precious and so cruel?
Oooh, do we not set sail on the ship of fools
Oooh, why is love so precious and so cruel?
3.Phantom Bride
She was a shy girl from the lonely street
She had no job to do and no friends to meet
She'd sit in silence in her rented room
Dream of her childhood and invented truths
And in her mind she'd drift away
A secret place to steal away
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
He was a good boy from the upside of town
Said her could treat her right said he could win her round
Her morning sickness and the kick inside
The phantom kisses of the phantom bride
And in her mind she'd drift away
A secret place to steal away
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
And in her mind she'd drift away
A secret place to steal away
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
No more lies
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears
Let me wipe away the tears
4.Chains Of Love
How can i explain
When there are few words i can choose
How can i explain
When words get broken
Do you remember
There was a time ahaha
When people on the street
Were walking hand in hand in hand
They used to talk about the weather
Making plans together
Days would last forever
Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up, don't give up
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love
Do you remember
Once upon a time ahaha
When there were open doors
An invitation to the world
We were falling in and out with lovers
Looking out for others
Our sisters and our brothers
Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up, don't give up
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love
Together we'll break these chains of love
How can i explain
When there are few words i can choose
How can i explain
When words get broken
We used to talk about the weather
Making plans together
Days would last forever
Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up, don't give up
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love
Together we'll break these chains of love
5.Hallowed Ground
Everybody's intent on killing someone
The streets are closed and there's a kid on the run
The bullets scream out from gun to gun
Everybody's intent on being someone
The cold and darkness of a criminal dawn
Wrapped in blankets gotta keep ourselves warm
A child in the arms of a teenage mum
Who will be there, who will be the next victim
Of the criminal dawn?
Old friends meet on the edge of town
Sharing conversation, hoping things will soon get better
While the children meet, got the world at their feet
Not knowing what's around the corner
Are we living for an uncertain future?
Down on the corner sits a broken man
Lives by the bottle, swears 'never again'
Lost his money on the dogs and gin
Now he looks for his supper in a garbage can
The kids hang around by the old schoolground
Right by the river where the body was found
Throwing stones on hallowed ground
Who will be there, who will be the next victim
Of the criminal dawn?
Old friends meet on the edge of town
Sharing conversation, hoping things will soon get better
While the children meet, got the world at their feet
Not knowing what's around the corner
Are we living for an uncertain future?
In the cold and darkness of a criminal dawn
Wrapped in blankets gotta keep ourselves warm
A child in the arms of a teenage mum
Who will be there, who will be the last victim
Of the criminal dawn?
Old friends meet on the edge of town
Sharing conversation, hoping things will soon get better
While the children meet, got the world at their feet
Not knowing what's around the corner
Are we living for an uncertain future?

7.Heart Of Stone
I cry for your heart of stone
I'm gonna wait until you come home
Oh why i am i alone?
I'm as good as dead yeah
Ooh i lost my sense of passion and direction
To protect myself from hurting and despair
Listen to my heart my soul is aching
Fool or saint?
Cause you went and left me
And you so upset me
I can't believe that you would ever find it easy
To walk away as if you'd never really cared
Did you expect that i'd give in and beg for mercy
Out in the gutter
Out in the gutter
I cry for your heart of stone
I'm gonna wait until you come home
Oh why i am i alone?
I'm as good as dead yeah
Ooh i look back on the first night with affection
And if you had a heart you'd remember too
The way we used to run around like little children
Fool or saint?
My mother told me
You'd be no good for me
I cry for your heart of stone
I'm gonna wait until you come home
Oh why i am i alone?
I'm as good as dead yeah
Out in the gutter
I got to break that heart of stone
I cry for your heart of stone
(i been worried about you baby)
Oh why i am i alone?
(i been worried about you baby)
I'm as good as dead yeah
(i want you back)
8.Yahoo!
Better that the devil should not be called
If you wanna wed the devil's daughter
I pray to the lord on high to set you free
Better you decide to cut him loose
Than to ride on the cunning line
I pray to the lord on high to rescue me
No one should go through hard times
No one should live in sorrow
Got to lift your head up high
Got to face the darker skies
Yahoo! ah higher, higher, higher
Yahoo! ah find your way unto the lord
Ah higher, higher, higher
Yahoo! ah find your way unto the lord
To run where the devil would fear to tread
Got to put your money where your heart is
I pray to the lord on high to set you free
Whether you decide to trade your soul
For a little of the devil's gold
I pray to the lord on high to rescue me
No one should feel so low down
And give into sweet temptation
Got to lift your head up high
Got to face the darker skies
Yahoo! ah higher, higher, higher
Yahoo! ah find your way unto the lord
Ah higher, higher, higher
Yahoo! ah find your way unto the lord
Yahoo! ah higher, higher, higher
Yahoo! ah find your way unto the lord
When you look around and find yourself
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
I pray to the lord on high to rescue me
If there's trouble on your mind when you sleep at night
Won't you come and put your trust in me
And i pray to the lord on high to set you free
No one should go through hard times
No one should live in sorrow
Got to face the darker skies
Got to lift your head up high
9.Imagination
What do you do with yourself
When you see the storm clouds rising
Feeling alone with yourself
As the sun fades away
The memories come to and fro
The trouble is they never want to go
They come never go
It's just your imagination rolling over the past
It can change your mind completely
It's just my imagination running wild and too fats
But i know it won't defeat me
Look into the eyes of medusa
And she'll turn your world to stone
She'll tear at your eyes and seduce you
And your soul will be gone
The messages and hidden dreams
Of former lives and lovers never seen
A love never seen
It's just your imagination rolling over the past
It can change your mind completely
It's just my imagination running wild and too fats
But i know it won't defeat me
What do you do with yourself when your lost on some horizon
Taking a hold of yourself
When you know the timing's wrong
The memories come to and fro
The trouble is they never want to go
They come never go
It's just your imagination rolling over the past
It can change your mind completely
It's just my imagination running wild and too fats
But i know it won't defeat me
10.Witch In The Ditch
No i would never step into your shoes
And dance in your chamber without you
I'm looking and i'm praying for a place i can dwell in
A place where our love can be true
Yes it was you my love
That made me turn around
Yes it was you mein herr
That turned me upside down
Were we never to be forgotten
Lay down your sweet head and cry
We'll live in dreamland tonight
Oh come all ye who are faithful
Lay down your sweet head and cry
Enter the valley of light
Just watch this witch dig her heels in the ditch
As the ministry wave her goodbye
Wake from the dream with a start and a scream
As the prisoner gives out a sigh
Yes it was you mein schatz
That turned me upside down
Were we never to be forgotten
Lay down your sweet head and cry
We'll live in dreamland tonight
Oh come all ye who are faithful
Lay down your sweet head and cry
Enter the valley of light
Yes it was you my love
That made me turn around
Yes it was you mein herr
That turned me upside down
Were we never to be forgotten
Lay down your sweet head and cry
We'll live in dreamland tonight
Oh come all ye who are faithful
Lay down your sweet head and cry
Enter the valley of light
Were we never to be forgotten
Lay down your sweet head and cry
(come and sing it with us let me hear you say never)
We'll live in dreamland tonight
Oh come all ye who are faithful
Lay down your sweet head and cry
(come and sing it with us let me hear you say never)
Enter the valley of light
11.Weight Of The World
Hey little wise man
You got the sweetest notion
Ooh the sweetest thing
Just once in a lifetime
You need a helping hand
Ooh a caring hand
You keep it wrapped up inside
It's like a lethal potion
Gonna find it soul destroying
Woah, don't take it any further now baby
Woah, won't lead you anywhere
Woah, it's pushing and a hurting you baby
Woah, i'll say a little prayer
No other wise man
Could take the hurt like you do
Ooh the pain like you
Putting on a brave face
But it gets to you somehow
Ooh gets through somehow
You hold your head in your hands
And the weight of the world on your shoulders
Come and pour your heart out to me
Woah, don't take it any further now baby
Woah, won't lead you anywhere
Woah, it's pushing and a hurting you baby
Woah, i'll say a little prayer
You keep it wrapped up inside
It's like a lethal potion
Gonna find it soul destroying
Woah, don't take it any further now baby
Woah, won't lead you anywhere
Woah, it's pushing and a hurting you baby
Woah, i'll say a little prayer
12.When I Needed You
I'd like to be a child again
So many things to do
Playground noise, and coloured toys
And everything brand new
I'd like to be a pirate ship
In search of hidden gold
On ocean waves that swim away
And sail around the world
-chorus:
Where, where were you
When i needed you most
When i needed a friend
Where, where were you
When i needed you most
When i needed a friend
I'd like to be a soldier
A general i would be
In battle and in glory
With ten thousand men to lead
I could be most anything
There is so much to see
I'd live a different story
If you were next to me
Chorus
Chorus
I could be most anything
There is so much to see
I'd live a different story
If you were next to me
Where, where
Chorus to fade
13.River Deep, Mountain High
When i was a little girl
I had a rag doll
The only doll i ever owned
Now i love you just the way
I loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown
And it gets stronger in every way
And it gets deeper, love it stays
And it gets higher until our day
-chorus:
And, do i love you my oh my
Yeah, river deep, mountain high (ya, ya, ya)
If i lost you would i cry
Oh i love you baby, baby, baby, baby
When you were a young boy
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well i'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No i'll never let you down
Cause it goes on and on like a river flows
It gets bigger baby heaven knows
It gets sweeter baby as it grows
Chorus
Chorus
I had a rag doll
The only doll i ever owned
Now i love you just the way
I loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown
And it gets stronger in every way
And it gets deeper, love it stays
And it gets higher until our day
Chorus
I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
I love you baby like a robin loves to sing
I love you baby like a schoolboy loves his bag
I love you baby river deep, mountain high
Ah river deep
Ah river deep
Ah river deep
Ah river deep
Chorus
