Ok I gotta go very soon so just a couple more.....
Prefab Sprout first of all
All the world loves lovers All the world loves people in love Don't forget it, don't forget it Love whatever the price All the world loves lovers All the world loves people in love Don't forget it - love Don't forget it - love Love whatever the price ... Love
You and I won't lose our heads the way some lovers do Saying this will last forever when it's just a year or two You and I won't be the fools that other lovers are Thinking every silver bottletop potentially a star still
All the world loves lovers All the world loves people in love Don't forget it, don't forget it Love whatever the price All the world loves lovers All the world loves people in love Don't forget it - love Don't forget it - love Love whatever the price
We won't make the promises that every lover makes Only to find that all we've made are similar mistakes No you and I won't wish for things Like other lovers do But let's cross our hearts and hope to die If none of them come true 'cause
All the world loves lovers All the world loves people in love Don't forget it, don't forget it Love whatever the price All the world loves lovers All the world loves people in love Don't forget it - love Don't forget it - love Love whatever the price All the world loves lovers, love whatever the price All the world loves lovers, love whatever the price All the world loves lovers ... Love
And Johnny Hates Jazz (I dont mind it!)
Turn Back The Clock
Another day is ended And I still can't sleep Remembering my yesterdays I begin to weep If I could have it over Live my life again I wouldn't change a single day
(chorus) I wish that I could turn back the clock Bring the wheels of time to stop Back to the days when life was so much better
Lying here in silence Picture in my hand Of a boy I still resemble But I no longer understand And as the tears run freely How I realise they were the best years of my life
(chorus)
You might say it's just A case of giving up No But without these memories where is the love Where is the love
If I could have it over Live my life again I wouldn't change a single day
(chorus)
Why can't I turn back the clock Bring the wheels of time to a stop Back to the days Oh no no I remember when Life was so good I'd go back I'd I could Oh oh I wouldn't change a single day Don't let the memories slip away I wouldn't change a single day Don't let the memories slip away
Sorry Corelli! That was Mr Weller...cannot stay away from him too long. His Style Council days of the 80s..this too
I will learn, I will grow And for my pain, my strength shall show For as surely as spring will come Bringing freshness to order's dance Until the ices melt away Then we will live again I will try, I will succeed To train my sights upon the deep And wait for summer's bloom to come Bringing warmth to the frozen hearts Until the skies are filled with love Then we will live again
I will search, I will find And grow again the parts that died Like the changes that autumn brings We need the courage to go ahead And not cling on to the past Then we can live again

It's either - Something in their eyes or something in the drink But whatever it is they both stop and think There's no going back and nothing above It's lust or loneliness - but never love. She takes a breath as he takes his keys First name terms is the extent of it there's no getting out as they're going in But by tomorrow they both will begin
To regret and renege on a bond they have struck A small price to pay and casual luck Some lose nothing - some lose a lot But whatever we have is all we have got.
He takes her hand and leads to the room In half light and silence for their clothes to remove There's doubt in her mind but hope in her heart That this last one of many may be the start.
So they wriggle and writhe for an hour or two But time has no place when two are consumed. They moan and they gasp but they don't really speak As no conversation could fit this scene.
And tomorrow as always, always comes As she slips away - he still dumb He felt the urge just as she felt the need Now the need to get out, still carrying his seed, Which trickles down her leg and onto her shoe Onto the pavement and then out of view Into the gutter and down into a drain Joining a river and there to remain -
There's no going back and there's nothing above It's lust and loneliness that drives us along
