Come And Get Me
03:21

Your smile makes me cry
I can see the pain in your eyes
Let me inside your mind
Who knows what we might find
You’ve been crying for to many years
He’s not worth a single tear
So run with me, don’t push me away
Dry your eyes and live for today
So come and get me here I am
Come and get me here I am
Come and get me here I am
Come and get me I wanna be your man
How long since you danced in the rain
You’ve been kept on the end of a chain
Trapped in world of bad love
From him you’re not good enough
Here’s my number – give me a call
I can promise we’ll have a ball
Let me know what you desire
Because I’m a man on fire
Chorus
Come and get me, I’m here tonight
You know that I’ll treat you right
So let me make this clear
Come and get me – I’m right here
It’s time to forget what’s gone before
You’ve no need to cry anymore
Look into my eyes, don’t say a thing
It’s time for a new love to begin

Do You Still Need Me
03:19

What do you do with your sons and daughters?
When they make the same mistakes as you
What do you tell your sons and daughters?
When they turn out just like you
What is it I wonder?
What is it I wonder?
What is it I wonder?
That you want from me
What can you want from me son and daughter?
Now you’ve learned all you can from me
Have you found out my son my daughter?
You can’t believe in all that you see
What is it I wonder?
What is it I wonder?
What is it I wonder?
That you want from me
Is it the wisdom of my umpteen years?
Or the sum of all my pain and tears
Is it the answer to all your sorrows?
I bear on a knife edge of all my morrows
Do you still need me?
Do you still need me?
Do you still need me?
Now that you’re older
How can I help you my son my daughter?
What can I do to make you free?
How can I help you my son my daughter?
Now that I need you more than you need me
Do you still need me?
Do you still need me?
Do you still need me?
Now that you’re older

Thrown Away
05:00
|

|
I don’t know where I’m going to
And hell knows what I’ve been through
But I do know that I’m still in love with you
I know sometimes that I’ve been bad
And many times I made you sad
But I do know that I’m still in love with you
I just don’t know what to do
I just don’t know what to do
I’ve thrown my love away from you
You said that you’d given me your best years
And your reward was a thousand tears
But I do know that I’m still in love with you
They say time will heal my broken heart
But I’ll never stand us being apart
But I do know that I’m still in love with you
I just don’t know what to do
I just don’t know what to do
I’ve thrown my love away from you
I know I took your love and I threw it away
But I want you back in my arms
Coz I can’t stand another day
I just don’t know what to do
I just don’t know what to do
I’ve thrown my love away from you
I just don’t know what to do
I just don’t know what to do
I’ve thrown my love away from you

If Only...
03:42
|

Your beauty has brought me back to life
The light shines behind your eyes
You are the sun on a rainy day
Chasing the grey skies away
If only you could be mine
If only you’d give me a sign
If only you’d give me a chance
But you wouldn’t give me a second glance
So take me to the place where dreams come true
Then I could give my all to you
If I could take you by the hand
Then I could be a better man
If only you could be mine
If only you’d give me a sign
If only you’d give me a chance
But you wouldn’t give me a second glance
If only you could be mine
If only you’d give me a sign
If only you could be mine
If only you’d give me a sign
If only you’d give me a chance
But you wouldn’t give me a second glance

Old Before My Time
02:59
|

|
I think that time is not on my side
I feel old, old before my time
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, old before my time
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, old before my time
I feel mad, wilder than before
I feel I’m, a younger man no more
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, old before my time
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, old before my time
I look bad, worse than yesterday
I’m looking worse every single day
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, old before my time
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, old before my time

Bitter And Twisted
04:02
|
|||
|
I walk into a bar for some time to think
And the bar man asks me what I’d like to drink
And as I sit down he sits opposite me
A man with a story, a tale to heed
I take sip as he starts his story
Warts and all in its entire glory
All the times he’d been stabbed in the back
And all the bastards who tried to make him crack
So bitter and twisted
So bruised and blistered
He Cries “Does no one care for the good that I’ve done?”
“Will no one care when I’m dead and I’m gone?”
I sit uncomfortably as he tells me more
Listening carefully as I stare at the floor
He trusted fools and believed in their lies
And those he’d loved who’d bled him dry
He used to be the life and soul
But the lies have taken their toll
No more laughs and no more smiles
Just cynical and bitter and full of bile
So bitter and twisted
So bruised and blistered
He Cries “Does no one care for the good I’ve that done?”
“Will no one care when I’m dead and I’m gone?”
I call for a drink and I light up a smoke
And shift my seat and begin to choke
For this man’s tale of woe and error
Comes from the man looking at me in the mirror

No More Hearts To Steal
03:26
|
|||
|
Is there nothing left for me to feel?
Are all the good hearts taken?
Is there no one left out there to love?
Why do I feel I’m just not good enough?
There’s nothing left to feel
There’s no more hearts to steal
I want to hold love in my arms again
I want to feel love in my heart again
I want to show what I have to give
I just want to feel whole again
There’s nothing left to feel
There’s no more hearts to steal
I gave up looking and you still weren’t there
Is there anyone left out there to care?
Is there nothing left for me to feel?
Is there no one left out there to love?
There’s nothing left to feel
There’s no more hearts to steal

We Were Strangers
03:46
|

|
An hour ago we were strangers
Never met before, no never
And as our lips touch
We’ve known each other forever
I don’t know what I did that caught your eye
But the smile on your face says makes me want to cry
Your laugh is intoxicating
The look in your eyes, so captivating
Hours ago we were strangers
Never having met before
With the scars that we carry
Living a life so insecure
I see the night fall in your eyes
We lay in each other’s arms staring at the skies
Why can’t I hold on to you?
I just want us to see this whole night through
Last night we were just strangers
Not knowing who each other are
Not knowing where we are going
And if this will go far
But you’ve left the room disappeared in to space
Was I wrong for you? You’re gone without a trace
And I don’t even know a name
Did we ever even kiss?
And now I think that I’m in love with you
But I’m not sure if you even exist?
Last night we were just strangers
Never likely to meet again

Another Break Up Song
04:21

Am Fmaj7
It’s five in the morning, her whole life on the back seat
Dsus2 Fmaj7
Mist turns to rain and the wipers glide with her heartbeat
Am Fmaj7
Driving through the streets where she played as a child
Dsus2 Fmaj7
So she turns on the radio and her mind drifts for a while
G Dsus2
And the radio plays another break up song
C Em Dsus2
Another little reminder of where it all went wrong
G Dsus2
And the radio plays another break up song
C Em Dsus2
Another little reminder of where it all went wrong
Am Fmaj7 Dsus2 Fmaj7
She’s leaving
Am Fmaj7
He wakes at seven to a vacant bed
Dsus2 Fmaj7
He looks in the mirror to please his empty head
Am Fmaj7
He finds her note and he realises she’s gone
Dsus2 Fmaj7
Just like the girl in that old Beatles song
G Dsus2
And the radio plays another break up song
C Em Dsus2
Another little reminder of where it all went wrong
G Dsus2
And the radio plays another break up song
C Em Dsus2
Another little reminder of where it all went wrong
Am Fmaj7 Dsus2 Fmaj7
She’s going
Am Fmaj7
He dials her number to make that frantic call
Dsus2 Fmaj7
A hundred feelings in his head he’s never felt before
Am Fmaj7
It’s a call that he’d never thought he’d make
Dsus2 Fmaj7
It would be the last call that she would ever take
Am Fmaj7
He panics to find the right words to say
Dsus2 Fmaj7
The bend in the road would make it her last ever day
G Dsus2
And the radio plays another break up song
C Em Dsus2
Another little reminder of where it all went wrong
G Dsus2
And the radio plays another break up song
C Em Dsus2
Another little reminder of where it all went wrong
Am Fmaj7 Dsus2 Fmaj7
She’s gone

Alone

When I get old there’s a place I shall live in
Solid and sure when the wind blows cold
I’ll deck it out this place I shall live in
With my favourite things in a style so bold
It will be mine this place I shall live in
All that I love to my heart I’ll hold
I will be there this place I shall live in
Content and safe like a lamb in the fold
I shall live forever on my own
I shall live forever on my own
With No love to hold me, to own me, control me
With No one to blind me, repress me and crush me
All that I want for shall be there at my side
All that I long for is my own sense of pride
All that I need shall be there for my pleasure
All that I need shall be mine to treasure
Food for my body and food for my soul
Me on my own is my only goal
When I get old there’s a place I shall live in
There I shall be ‘til my blood runs cold
I shall live forever on my own
I shall live forever on my own
With No love to hold me, to own me, control me
With No one to blind me, repress me and crush me
With No love to hold me, to own me, control me
No one to call me, to use me, abuse me.
