If You Could Read My Mind

Gordon Lightfoot

If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell.
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well.

In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet.
You know that ghost is me.
And I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see.



If I could read your mind love
What a tale your thoughts could tell.
Just like a paper back novel
The kind the drugstores sell.
Then you reached the part
Where the heartaches come
The hero would be me.
But heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending 's just too hard to take!



I'd walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three-way script.
Enter number two:
A movie queen to play the scene
Of bringing all the good things out of me.

But for now love
let's be real;

I never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it.
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelin's gone
And I just can't get it back.



If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell.
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well.
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet.
But stories always end

And if you read between the lines
You'd know that I'm just
Tryin' to understand the feelin's that you lack.



I never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it.
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelin's gone
And I just can't get it back!

Fallen

Lauren Wood

I can't believe it, you're a dream comin' true.
I can't believe how I have fallen for you.
And I was not looking, was content to remain.
And it's ironic to be back in the game.

You are the one who's led me to the sun.
How could I know that I was lost without you...

And I want to tell you, you control my rain..
And you should know that you are life in my veins.

You are the one who's led me to the sun.
How could I know that I was lost without you...

I can't believe it, you're a dream comin' true.
I can't believe how I have fallen for you.

And I was not looking, was content to remain.
And it's erotic to be back in the game.

Oh oh oh a dream comin' true

oh my my my I have fallen for you

Move Closer

Phyllis Nelson


Hey baby, you go your way
And I´ll go mine
But in the meantime

When we're together
Touchin' each other
And our bodies do what we feel
When we´re dancin'
Smoochin' and swayin'
Tender love song softly playin'

Move closer
Move your body real close
Until we
Feel like we're really makin' love

Ooh-ooh, move closer
Move your body real close
Until we
Feel like we're really makin' love

So when I say sugar and I whisper I love vou
Well I know you´re gonna answer in the sweetest voice
Sayin' my pretty lady
I love you too ooh well

There's much room for passion, ooh-no-no
There's no room for fears
When, the love flows smoothly between us, baby
my dear

Move

Move closer
Move your body real close
Until we feel like we're really makin' love

Woh-oh-oh, move closer
Move your body real close
Until we feel like we're really makin' love




Sadly, Phyllis Nelson died from breast cancer on 12 January, 1998, aged 47

Me & Mrs Jones

Billy Paul

Me and Mrs. Jones
We got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it cool down

We meet every day at the same cafe
Six-thirty I know, I know she'll be there
Holding hands, making all kinds of the plans
While the jukebox plays our favourite song

Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
We got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it cool down

We gotta be extra careful
That we don't build our hopes up too high
'Cause she's got her own obligations
And so, and so do I

Me, me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
We got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it cool down

Well, it's time for us to be leaving
It hurts so much, it hurts so much inside
Now she'll go her way and I'll go mine
Tomorrow we'll meet the same place, the same time

Me, me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
We got a thing going on

We gotta be extra careful
We can't afford to build our hopes up too high
I wanna meet and talk with you
At the same place, the same cafe, the same time

And we gonna hold hands like we used to
We gonna talk it over, talk it over
We know, they know and you know and I know that it was wrong
But I'll make it strong, we gotta let them know now
That we got a thing goin' on, a thing goin' on

It's Got To Be Perfect

Fairground Attraction

I don't want to have half-hearted love affairs
I need someone who really cares
Life is too short to play silly games
I've promised myself I won't do that again

It's got to be perfect
It's got to be worth it, yeah
Too many people take second best
But I won't take anything less
It's got to be, yeah, perfect

Young hearts are foolish, they make such mistakes
They're much too eager to give their love away
Well, I have been foolish too many times
Now I'm determined I'm gonna get it right

It's got to be perfect
It's got to be worth it, yeah
Too many people take second best

Talk It Over

Grayson Hughes

Harsh words are spoken
Promises are broken
Old wounds are opened
And love walks out that door

Too proud to make up
You're ready to break up
Too late you'll wake up
And love walks out that door
out that door

Baby, oh sweet baby
I didn't mean a word that I said
Well, You know that I love you
Can't we talk it over in bed

I never meant to hurt you
I must have been out of my head

out of my head
Tell me you still want me
Can't we talk it over in bed

Talk, talk, talk it over in bed
Talk,talktalk

Harsh words are spoken
Promises are broken
Old wounds are opened
And love walks out that door

Too proud to make up
You're ready to break up
Too late you'll wake up
And love walks out that door
Out that door

Walking out that door


Come a little closer
Can't we just forgive and forget
Well now...Everything seems to work out
When we talk it over in bed

out of my head
Well I tell me you still want me
Can't we talk it over in bed

Talk, talk, talk it over in bed
Talk, let's talk it out baby

Oh don't let it slip away

Oh no baby

Talk, talk, talk it over in bed
Talk, let's talk it out baby
I know I know I know we can do it baby

this old heart of mine

Ocean Of Light

In Mood
 

Opening instrumental - Grieg, Morning Suite 1

Step by step my life went down
Only troubles all around
It seemed to me that darkness has no end
I used to climb the mountains high
I thought that I can reach the sky
Searching for another promised land
Only haven't heard my cry
I pray the Lord to take me high
Now reach the wind beneath my wings
Now I can fly

Come give me your hand (c'mon)
I'll show you the land (c'mon)
All the dreams in the night
We will fly side by side
Let me open you heart (c'mon)
Give your life a new start (c'mon)
Turn a river of tears to an
Ocean of Light.


Walking in the darkest night
Looking for a guiding light
I found the meaning of my life today
Always knew I've got to fight
For a holy star that shines so bright
Even if it's only a heartbeat away
Only haven't heard my cry
I pray the Lord to take me high
Now reach the wind beneath my wings
Now I can fly

Come give me your hand (c'mon)
I'll show you the land (c'mon)
All the dreams in the night
We will fly side by side
Let me open your heart (c'mon)
Give your life a new start (c'mon)
Turn a river of tears to an
Ocean of Light
Ocean of Light

Now I know I'm not alone
Faith and Love has made me strong
I've got a friend who gave me a helping hand
Only haven't heard my cry
I pray the Lord to take me high
Now reach the wind beneath my wings
Now I can fly

Give me your hand
I will show you the land
All your dreams in the night
We can fly side by side
Open your heart
Give your life a new start
Turn a river of tears to an
Ocean of Light

Come give me your hand (c'mon)
I'll show you the land (c'mon)
All the dreams in the night
We will fly side by side
Let me open your heart (c'mon)
Give your life a new start (c'mon)
Turn a river of tears to an
Ocean of Light.

Finally Found

The Honeyz

Ooh ooh ooh
I can't believe you're here with me
And now it seems my world's complete
And I never want this moment to end
I close my eyes and still I see
My dreams become reality
And now I know how it feels to be in love
I prayed so many nights that you would come my way
An angel from above to light my darkest day

'Cos there's something I want to say

And now you know I'm going to love you more

Can become lovers in the end
Only God knows what the future will bring
So hold me close and don't let go
'Cos this is love boy, don't you know?
And we're gonna be together for eternity

An angel from above to light my darkest day
A love so strong it can't be wrong

Look in my eyes and realise there's no disguise
'Cos I'm in love with you

I finally found what I've been looking for
And now you know I'm going to love you more

Broken Wings

Mr Mister

Baby
don't understand why we can't just hold on
to each other's hands
This time might be the last if fear unless
I make it all too clear

I need you so.

Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
learn to live so free.
And when we hear the voices sing

The book of love will open up and let us in.

Take these broken wings -
Baby
I think tonight we can take
what was wrong and make it right.

Baby
it's all I know
that you're half of the flesh
And blood that makes me whole
need you so.
So take these broken wings . . .

Let us in - let us in -
Baby
it's all I know

That you're half of the flesh
And blood that makes me whole

Yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah!
So take these broken wings . . .
Take these broken wings . . .

It Might Be You

 [Theme From Tootsie]

Believe It Or Not

[Theme From Greatest American Hero]

Joey Scarbury

Look at what's happened to me,
I can't believe it myself;
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world,
Should've been somebody else.

Believe it or not,
I'm walkin' on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.

Just like the light of new day,
It hit me from out of the blue;
Breakin' me out of the spell I was in,
Makin' all of my wishes come true.

Believe it or not,
I'm walkin' on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.

This is too good to be true,
Look at me
Falling for you.

Believe it or not,
Believe it or not,
Believe it or not,
Believe it or not.

Believe it or not,
I'm walkin' on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.

Believe it or not,
I'm walkin' on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.

I Love The Night Life

Alicia Bridges

Please don't talk about love tonight.
Please don't talk about sweet love.
Please don't talk about being true
and all the trouble we've been through.
Ah, please don't talk about all of the plans
we had for fixin' this broken romance.
I want to go where the people dance.
I want some action ... I want to live!

Action ... I got so much to give.
I want to give it. I want to get some too.

Oh, I ... Ohhh I ... I love the nightlife,
I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea.
Oh, I love the night life,
I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea.

Please don't talk about love tonight.
Your sweet talking won't make it right.
Love and lies just bring me down
when you've got women all over town.
You can love them all and when you're through,
maybe that'll make, huh, a man out of you.
I got to go where the people dance.
I want some action ... I want to live!

Action ... I got so much to give.
I want to give it. I want to get some too.

Oh, I ... Ohhh I ... I love the nightlife,
I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea.
Oh, I love the night life,
I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea.

Oh, I love the night life,
I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea.
Oh, I love the night life,
I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea.
I love the night life,
I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea.

True

Spandau Ballet
 

So true
Funny how it seems
Always in time, but never in line for dreams
Head over heels, when toe to toe
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound
I bought a ticket to the world
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line
Oh I want the truth to be said

 

I know this much is true

With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue
Dissolve the nerves that have just begun
Listening to Marvin (all night long)

This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound....

Always slipping from my hands
Sand's a time of its own
Take your seaside arms and write the next line
Oh I want the truth to be known

I know this much is true

I know this much is true

I bought a ticket to the world
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line
Oh I want the truth to be said

 

I know this much is true

This much is true

I know this much is true

Hanging By A Moment

Life House

I'm desperate for changing
I'm starving for truth
I'm closer to where I’ve started
I'm chasing after you


I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you


Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me


Now.. I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you


I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you


There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing ELSE to find
There's nothing in the world
That could change my mind
There is nothing else…
There is nothing else…
There is nothing else


Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
Closer to where I’ve started
Chasing after you


I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you


I'm living for the only thing i know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you


Just hanging by a moment
(here with you)
Hanging by a moment…
(here with you)
Hanging by a moment...
(here with you)
Hanging by a moment here with you...

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea
You became the light on the dark side of me
Love remains a drug that's the high and not the pill
But did you know, that when it snows
My eyes become larger, the light that you shine can't be seen

Baby, I might compare you to a kiss
From a rose on the grey
Ooo, the more I get of you, stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the day

There is so much a man can tell you
So much he can say
You remain, my power, my pleasure, my pain
Baby, to me you're like a grown addiction that I can't deny
(Like a grown addiction that I can't show, yeah)
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?
But did you know, that when it snows
My eyes become large and the light that you shine
Can't be seen

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooo, the more I get of you, stranger it feels, yeah (yeah)

I (I) I've been kissed by a rose on the grey

There is so much a man can tell you

Sky High

Jigsaw

Blown round by the wind
Thrown down in a spin

I gave you love
I thought that we had made it to the top
I gave you all I had to give
Why did it have to stop

You've blown it all sky high
By telling me a lie
Without a reason why
You've blown it all sky high

You, You've blown it all sky high
Our love had wings to fly
We could have touched the sky
You've blown it all sky high
Up Round I've Flown
Then Down Down Like a Stone

Kiss You In The Rain

Freiheit

I saw you walking

Girl you looked so good it hurt

Here  everywhere

Then I lost you on the street

I heard you talking

Girl you knew that I was there

Here and everywhere

Then you must have felt the heat

That I could meet my destiny

The sound of thunder in the night

We stood alone in electric light

and I took your hand and kissed you in the rain

in the rain I kissed you in the rain
in the rain I kissed you in the rain

You're so enchanting in everyway a girl can be

Here and everywhere

In everything you say and do

I see you dancing and your body talks to me

Here and everywhere

I love the language that is you

It's still a mystery to me

How I could meet my destiny

The sound of thunder in the night

Escape
[The Pina Colada Song]

Rupert Holmes

I was tired of my lady
We'd been together too long
Like a worn-out recording
Of a favourite song
So while she lay there sleeping
I read the paper in bed
And in the personal columns
There was this letter I read

"If you like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you'd like making love at midnight
In the dunes on the Cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for
Write to me and escape."

I didn't think about my lady
I know that sounds kind of mean
But me and my old lady
Have fallen into the same old dull routine
So I wrote to the paper
Took out a personal ad
And though I'm nobody's poet
I thought it wasn't half bad

"Yes I like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
I'm not much into health food
I am into champagne
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon
And cut through all this red-tape
At a bar called O'Malley's
Where we'll plan our escape."

So I waited with high hopes
And she walked in the place
I knew her smile in an instant
I knew the curve of her face
It was my own lovely lady
And she said, "Oh it's you."
Then we laughed for a moment
And I said, "I never knew."

That you like Pina Coladas
Getting caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean
And the taste of champagne
If you'd like making love at midnight
In the dunes of the Cape
You're the lady I've looked for
Come with me and escape

repeat chorus twice and fade out

Back to the top

There's a port on a western bay
And it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors pass the time away
And talk about their homes
And there's a girl, in this harbour town
And she works, laying whiskey down
They say "Brandy, fetch another round"
She serves them whiskey and wine
The sailors say "Brandy, you're a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor
From the sea."

Brandy, wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the north of Spain
A locket, that bears the name
Of a man that Brandy loved
He came, on a summer's day
Bringing gifts, from far away
But he made it clear, he couldn't stay
No harbour was his home
The sailors said "Brandy, you're a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
But my life, my lover and my lady
Is the sea."

Yeah Brandy used to watch his eyes when he told his sailor's story
She could feel the ocean fall and rise, she saw it's raging glory
But he had always told the truth, Lord he was an honest man
And Brandy does her best to understand
At night, when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent town
And loves a man, who's not around
She still can hear him say, she hears him say
"Brandy, you're a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
But my life, my lover and my lady
Is the sea"

"Brandy, you're a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
But my life, my lover and my lady
Is the sea"
