1.I Can't Let Go
Lyrics:Taylor/Gorgoni
Music:Taylor/Gorgoni
Oh I try and I try but I can't say goodbye
Feel so bad, baby Oh, it hurts me
When I think of how you love and desert me
I'm the broken-hearted toy you play with, baby
You got me going I need you, baby
I can't let go, and I want you, baby
I gotta have you, you know, I can't let go
Though I'm just one of your lovers
And I know there are so many others
You do something strange to me, baby, baby
chorus
Oh I try and I try but I can't say goodbye
Know that it's wrong and I should be so strong
But the thought of you gone makes me want to hold on
chorus x2
I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go

3.I Can't Tell The Bottom From The Top
Lyrics:Fletcher/Flett
Music:Fletcher/Flett
And every time I get to thinking
With every thought of you
I wanna shout aloud
And then I think about
The love I had inside me
And how you brought what's inside out
So now love's made it to the outside
I wanna to tell the world
Of everything I've found
Somehow your love released
A spring wound up inside me
You've turned my living upside-down
And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels
Is it cloudy is it bright
Is it day or is it night
Am I wrong or am I right
And is it real
Tell me where you learned the magic
The spell you used the day you made me fall
Baby now I know that love is no illusion
I'm upside-down but ten feet tall
And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels
Is it cloudy is it bright
Is it day or is it night
Am I wrong or am I right
And is it real
On and on I drifted with the tide
I didn't know that love could move me so
You filled my life with love and much more besides
And you showed me which way to go
And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels
Is it cloudy is it bright
Is it day or is it night
Am I wrong or am I right
And is it real

4.Bus Stop
Lyrics:G.Gouldman
Music:G.Gouldman
Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella
All that summer we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine.
That umbrella we employed it
By August, she was mine
Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shop and she would show me what she'd bought
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same
That's the way the whole thing started
Silly, but it's true
Thinking of a sweet romance
Beginning in a queue
Came the sun the ice was melting
No more sheltering now
Nice to think that that umbrella
Led me to a vow
Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shop and she would show me what she'd bought
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same
Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella
All that summer we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella we employed it
By August, she was mine
5.Another Night
Lyrics:Sylvester/Clarke/Hicks
Music:Sylvester/Clarke/Hicks
Out on the town kicking around feeling bluesy
It's getting late I can't afford to be choosy
Should be home and dry by now
tried every trick in the book but
Another night Saturday night and I'm losing
Another night Saturday night and I'm losing
The DJ plays a song from the past I remember
I hold her tight in my arms she surrenders
It's the same old record playing
but it's a different girl that's swaying
chorus
As we move around the room
whispering things with my eyes closed
I feels that you're here
Then the music stops I open my eyes
My fantasy ends We're not even friends
So leave me to catch my ride pay my fare on my way home
The same thing every week on my own
Next time around you might be there
my luck might change but until then
chorus
6.He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother
Lyrics:B.Scott/B.Russell
Music:B.Scott/B.Russell
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another
It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy he's my brother
He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
7.Stop Stop Stop
Lyrics:Clarke/Hicks/Nash
Music:Clarke/Hicks/Nash
See the girl with cymbals on her fingers
Entering through the door
Ruby glistening from her navel
Shimmering around the floor
Bells on feet go ting-a ling-a linging
Going through my head
Sweat is falling just-a like-a tear drops
Running from her head
Now she's dancing, going through the movements
Swaying to and fro
Body moving, bringing back a memory
Thoughts of long ago
Blood is rushing, temperature is rising
Sweating from my brow
Like a snake, her body fascinates me
I can't look away now
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave
Now she's moving all around the tables
Luring all in sight
But I know that she cannot see me
Hidden by the light
Closer, closer, she is getting nearer
Soon she'll be in reach
As I enter into a spotlight
She stands lost for speech
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave
Break
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave
Now I hold her, people are staring
Don't know what to think
And we struggle knocking over tables
Spilling all the drinks
Can't they understand that I want her
Happens every week
Heavy hand upon my collar
Throws me in the street
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave
8.My Island
Lyrics:Clarke/Sylvester/Hicks
Music:Clarke/Sylvester/Hicks
Sailing on a summer breeze, going back to my island
Nearly done my time, my life will be mine once again
The distant past so far behind and I hope there hasn't been many
changes
'cos I haven't seen my island for such a long time
Oh oh oh oh, I want to breathe the air that's free
Oh oh oh oh, I want to feel the warm sand beneath my feet
and the sun on my face, yeah
Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
Couldn't say goodbye through no fault of mine to my loved ones
but sent a message through from my first port of call
I was pressed into time by the men from the line
They didn't tell me where I was going
and I haven't seen my island in such a long time
Oh oh oh oh, I've sailed upon the seven seas
Oh oh oh oh, you wouldn't believe the things I've seen
When I get home I'll tell you
Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
verse 2
verse 1
Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
9.I'm Down
Lyrics:Clarke/Sylvester/Hicks
Music:Clarke/Sylvester/Hicks
Shook my head out of dreams
Reality's calling
The early bird's been up all morning
but I've got no notion of moving from where I am
Though my legs won't move
I feel disabled
I'm on a shelf an article labeled
waiting for someone to fetch me from lost and found
I'm down No one to hear me calling
I'm down No one to see me falling
I'm down
Had my ways
with days of sunshine
Life came easy it all fell in line
But then again I didn't realise
When you're used to one thing
it's hard to accept another
Like the woman who brought you up
well she ain't your mother
How do you cope
with a thing like that
chorus
I always thought it was my dad who went to war
Thought it was my sister who fell off the wall
My pseudo-brother Billy emigrated long ago
Someone went through pain to have me
someone I should know
I'm down
I'm down
To the folks who brought me up
I'm not ungrateful
Kept the secret from me
they thought it was shameful
It hurt me so
to be the last one to know
Maybe someone's out there
looking for me
Left on their own
couldn't afford to clothe me
And I I don't even know my real name
chorus
I'm down
I'm down
I'm down
10.The Air That I Breathe
Lyrics:Hammond/Hazelwood
Music:Hammond/Hazelwood
If I could make a wish
I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read
Making love with you
Has left me peaceful, warm, and tired
What more could I ask
There's nothing left to be desired
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
11.Too Young To Be Married
Lyrics:Hicks
Music:Hicks
She wakes up early every morning
She get up long before the sunshine
Greets the milkman who's still yawning
And reads the paper for a short time
Calls the kids 'Get out of bed'
They never hear a word she says
Husband stands to leave the table
She says 'I hope you have a good day'
He thinks 'One day soon as I'm able
I'll get a job where I get good pay.'
They find it hard to make ends meet
But they don't mention it because they have each other
An love is free while they're supposed to be ...
Too young to be married
Too young to be free
Too young to be married
But what could they do, they were going to have a baby
After the kids have had their breakfast
Now they're off to get some schooling
She cleans the house and makes the beds
She starts to dreams but knows she's fooling
She swears one day she'll stay in bed
but for now she knows she's got to keep on working
'Cos round and round inside her head
She hears the words her mother said ...
chorus
Too young to be married
Too young to be free
Too young to be married
But what could they do?
