The Moment
Published 1st March, 1990It could be the moment
When you tell me that you understand how I feel.
It could be the moment
When you tell me that the love that you have is real.
Income Town
Published 28th February, 1988You've got no work and you've got no money,
You're just a little pouty, life's no so funny in
Income Town, living down in Income Town.
Your eyes are so wide, your head's still spinning,
Can't you see there is no winning in
Income Town, no winning in Income Town.
Live On Love
Published 28th February, 1988I never met anyone like you before;
It seemed every love-affair would leave me crying.
I thought I'd never find what I was looking for,
Searching for so long, I got tired of trying.
I never could tell anyone how I feel,
I never could make it quite clear.
I never could hold on to anyone's heart;
Life's everything I held here.
The River [1990]
Published 28th February, 1988Down on the river,
Down on the river on the fourth of July;
I'm down on the river,
Down and I know that the river's running high.
Look At The Girl
Published 28th February, 1988Remember when I held her in the palm of just one hand
And felt that tiny heart against my skin.
Now she's all grown up, stepping out and looking grand,
I just don't believe the shape she's in.
Hold Me
Published 28th February, 1988You don't need, you don't need anybody,
Nobody but me;
I don't need, I don't need anybody,
Nobody but you.
You don't need to say you love me,
You don't need to say that much.
You don't need to say you love me;
'Cause I can tell by your tender touch.
Upo
Published 28th February, 1988Shake that trouble from your life,
Love of mine, we will;
We will have it as we like,
Love of mine, we will.
Love is pretty, baby.
- You know we will.
Patterns In The Rain
Published 28th February, 1988You cannot hide, not even from yourself;
Like me, you'll blame somebody else.
All alone, you'll sit and watch
The patterns in the rain.
The Apprentice
Published 1st October, 1987I work at the station
At the heart of the nation,
I tell you no lie.
I keep the pace
In the energy race,
I never ask why.
Deny This Love
Published 1st October, 1987Deny this love if you can,
Deny this love if you can.
Deny this love if you can, sweet Jesus!
I saw her walking down the street with the night down at her feet,
Walking just to get the day done.
Nothing good to say, she's got no nothing good to do,
Praying for a little help to come.
Send Me One Line
Published 1st October, 1987I feel that I have known you for a lifetime now,
Though these eyes of mine have never touched your face.
The distance between us seems so great sometimes.
How I need your love to fill this empty space..
Turning The Tide
Published 1st July, 1986Turning, turning,
Turning the tide;
Turning, turning,
Turning the tide.
Sometimes it gets hard to listen,
It gets hard just to use our eyes.
All around the storms are gathering,
All around just darkening skies.
Turning, turning,
Turning the tide;
Turning, turning,
Turning the tide.
I don't want to see more destruction,
I am waiting for the turn of this tide.
I don't want to know any more of this evil,
Waiting for the turn of the tide.
Turning, turning,
Turning the tide;
Turning, turning,
Turning the tide.

Tight Connection To My Heart
Published 1st March, 1986There's no lights tonight
And there's no moon.
There's just a hot-blooded singer
Singing 'Memphis in june'.
They beat the hell from a guy
In a powder-blue wig.
What seems so dangerous from a distance,
Up close never seems so big.
John Wayne
Published 1st February, 1986I'm John Wayne!
I believe I'm John Wayne!
They call me John Wayne.
You know you've got it coming;
I'll tell it to you straight.
I'm coming for you very soon;
I'll never hesitate.
Love Of Mine
Published 1st February, 1986I've been watching you, my friend,
I've been watching all the things that you try to do.
Got my eyes on you, my friend,
I've been checking all the moves, checking all the moves.
Closer and closer; closer to the edge of your disaster.
Nearer and nearer, nearer to the judgement day.
