Fool (If You Think It's Over)

A dying flame, you're free again who could love and do that to you
All dressed in black, he won't be coming back save your tears, you've got years and years
The pains of seventeen's unreal they're only dreams save your crying for the day
Fool if you think it's over cos you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over I'll tell you why
Newborn eyes always cry with pain
At the first look at the morning sun
You're a fool if you think it's over it's just begun

Miss teenage dream, such a tragic scene
He knocked your crown and ran away
First wound of pride and how you cried and cried
But save your tears you've got years and years
Fool if you think it's over cos you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over I'll tell you why
Newborn eyes always cry with pain
At the first look at the morning sun
You're a fool if you think it's over it's just begun

I'll buy your first good wine
We'll have a real good time
Save your crying for the day
That may not come but anyone
Who had to pay would laugh at you and say
Fool if you think it's over cos you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over I'll tell you why
Newborn eyes always cry with pain
At the first look at the morning sun
You're a fool if you think it's over it's just begun

Texas

Catch a sight of long lost summers catch a dream inside your hands
Take me where that lady comes from take me to that far off distant land
Rain comes pouring past my window turns my sky from blue to grey
I ain't never been to Texas but I sure gonna meet that lady one fine day

When Texas smiles around my bedroom who could ever turn her down
Tears of joy roll down my pillow while cold north winds are blowing all around me
But I don't care, my dream is westbound far across that sky so grey
I ain't never been to Texas but I sure gonna meet that lady one fine day

She's my little Texas my little Texas

On The Beach

Between the eyes of love I call your name
Behind the guarded walls I used to go
Upon a summer wind there's a certain melody
Takes me back to the place that I know down on the beach

The secrets of the summer I will keep
The sands of time will blow a mystery
No-one but you and I underneath that moonlit sky
Take me back to the place that I know on the beach

Forever in my dreams my heart will be
Hanging on to this sweet memory
A day of strange desire and a night that burned like fire
Take me back to the place that I know on the beach

Josephine

There's rain on my window but I'm thinking of you
Tears on my pillow but I will come through
Josephine, I'll send you all my love and every single step I take 
I take for you Josephine

There's a storm on my radar but I can still fly
And you are the reason the blue in my sky
Josephine

A life without meaning I was walking away
In the coldest of winters night becomes day
Josephine, I'll send you all my love and every single step I take
I take for you Josephine

Road To Hell

Stood still on a highway I saw a woman by the side of the road
With a face that I knew like my own reflected in my window
Well she walked up to my quarter light and she bent down real slow
A fearful pressure paralysed me in my shadow she said 'son what are you doing here
My fear for you has turned me in my grave'
I said 'mama I come to the valley of the rich myself to sell'
She said 'son this is the road to hell'
On your journey cross the wilderness from the desert to the well
You have strayed upon the motorway to hell

Well I'm standing by the river but the water doesn't flow
It boils with every poison you can think of
And I'm underneath the streetlight but the light of joy I know
Scared beyond belief way down in the shadows
And the perverted fear of violence chokes the smile on every face
And common sense is ringing out the bell
This ain't no technological breakdown this is the road to hell

And all the roads jam up with credit and there's nothing you can do
It's all just bits of paper flying away from you look out world, take a good look
What comes down here you must learn this lesson fast and learn it well
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway this is the road this is the road to hell

You Must Be Evil

I come home from work I see my little girl
She's crying on the floor she's been watching that TV
This ain't late no, this ain't even dinner time
To show them things on that screen what's wrong with you
You must be evil

I know why you do it you're just looking for sensation
You got a hold of something you tell us that it's news
You don't have to show that stuff can't you show us some respect
You can tell us we don't need to see it we don't need those cheap effects
You must be evil You must be evil

I wish you were here you don't have to show that stuff
You ain't fooling no-one you made my little girl cry
I wish you were here we all know why you do it
Sometimes you even slow it down you're giving out some bad ideas here
I can't believe that you don't realise You must be evil
