You steal my thoughts like you steal my mindBut I can tell you are not my kind

You want to take what’s not your ownYou’ll reap the pain of what you’ve sown

Oh, oh, oh, such gentle persuasionOh, oh, oh, such beautiful temptation

Oh, oh, oh, below my perceptionOh, oh, oh, subliminal seduction

Do you feel alone as you stand at the crossroad?Have you strength enough to carry that load?

Alarm bells ringing in the atmosphereYou’ll reach no solution loitering here

Oh, oh, oh, such gentle persuasionOh, oh, oh, such beautiful temptation

Oh, oh, oh, below my perceptionOh, oh, oh, subliminal seduction

I know I’m dying of thirstbut I won’t drink the water

You say just give me an inchbut I know you’ll take a mile

I’ll cover this chink in the dark,won’t give more than I oughtaSo back down, turn around,

I won’t turn up your dial.

I feel the caress of your cold black eyesFeel the weight of deception and lies

Under duress I fall to my kneesThe heart won’t believe what the eye don’t see

Oh, oh, oh, such gentle persuasionOh, oh, oh, such beautiful temptation

Oh, oh, oh, below my perceptionOh, oh, oh, subliminal seduction

A shotgun kiss won’t feed my lipsAim for the heart but I know you’ll missI’ll take the last train to leave this place

And disappear without a trace

Oh, oh, oh, such gentle persuasionOh, oh, oh, such beautiful temptation

Oh, oh, oh, below my perceptionOh, oh, oh, subliminal seduction

Oh, oh, oh, such gentle persuasionOh, oh, oh, such beautiful temptation

Oh, oh, oh, below my perceptionOh, oh, oh, subliminal seduction

Oh, oh, oh, subliminal seductionOh, oh, oh, subliminal seductionOh, oh, oh, subliminal seduction

Oh, oh, oh.

Salvation lies in a shallow graveNever comes out in the rainI’d put together a rescue partyBut I can’t stand the painGive me just a little timeto review the situationTo take stock and evaluateI’m filled with trepidation

Send the lifeboats row for shoreThrow a line, I shake to the coreAshes to ashes, dust to dustWe’ll all succumb one day to rust

Wallowing in quicksand, BabyKnow I’m sinking fastGrasping for an olive branchI know it couldn’t lastFeel the dark surround me nowClouds come racing inLose myself in a long black nightMy head goes in a spin

Send the lifeboats row for shoreThrow a line, I shake to the coreAshes to ashes, dust to dustWe’ll all succumb one day to rust

Fill my heart with sorrow nowCloud my head with pillsBlock out all realityI can do without the thrillsSilver shafts of wayward moonCome piercing through the sunReality has left the roomAnd my life takes a turn

My head spins full of tarnished dreamsAs night comes closing downThe King of OpportunityHas lost his rusted crownYou’ll curse me once, you’ll curse me twiceBut hold your tongue in checkThe captain of this love-lost shipHas cleared the forward deck

Send the lifeboats row for shoreThrow a line, I shake to the coreAshes to ashes, dust to dustWe’ll all succumb one day to rust

Send the lifeboats row for shoreThrow a line, I shake to the coreAshes to ashes, dust to dustWe’ll all succumb one day to rust

Wasted time I know with youCan’t deny that much is true

Should we ever need to pay our duesWouldn’t wanna be in your shoes

Suffocated you stole my loveTook my life, Oh Lord above

Smell their hair I feel their touchLittle things I miss so much

Smell their hair I feel their touchLittle things I miss so much

Smell their hair I feel their touchLittle things I miss so much

Smell their hair I feel their touchLittle things I miss so much

You cry your tears you scream and shoutBribes and threats you wore me out

Broke my heart but I let goEasy for me I had something to show

Stand outside I think aloudPouring down but I’m sure it’s getting,

better

Smell their hair I feel their touchLittle things I miss so much

Smell their hair I feel their touchLittle things I miss so much

Smell their hair I feel their touchLittle things I miss so much

Smell their hair I feel their touchLittle things I miss so much

Spent a lifetime finding my heartYou were wrong right from the start

Such a fool I fell for your wilesMe to blame I should have been wiseEyes wide open, fell for your charmsIgnored the trap, fell into your armsIgnored the trap, fell into your arms

Smell their hair I feel their touchLittle things I miss so much

Smell their hair I feel their touchLittle things I miss so much

Smell their hair I feel their touchLittle things I miss so much

Smell their hair I feel their touchLittle things I miss so much

These little things I miss so much …© 2011Words by Barry O’Hagan

Got no money but I don’t careGot two strong legs will go anywherePack my bags and take your handSing our song when needs demandIn the shade of the big oak treeWhere the hills run wild and freeWatch the ghosts dusty kingsFly by on timeless wings

Got no moneyI got lifeWon’t stop working ‘til the day I dieI got you and I’ll fly

Time ticks by on long hot daysWhisper of wind there’s nothing staysClouds sail by on an ocean of blueTake the ship we’ll be the crewOn the river that flows to the seaPlaces to go and people to seeGo with the current and flow with the tideDay to day with you by my side

Got no moneyI got lifeWon’t stop working ‘til the day I dieI got you and I’ll fly

Got no money

But I’m fine

Still keep weeping when I feel that hand

But I’ll try and walk that line

Got no money

Steal and grind

Keep me healthy and I’ll survive

Still be young past my time

Stand up tall and look ‘em in the eye

Stand up tall and look ‘em in the eye

Take my hand VictoriaLead me from this cold dark room

Take my hand VictoriaLight my way and lift this gloom

You went before me years agoBefore I knew you in days of old

Should have been your happy daysTurned out wrong and left you cold

VictoriaVictoria

Never met youCan’t forget you

Lived in the shadow of your smileVictoriaVictoria

Can’t regret youLike to get you

In my arms for a while

VictoriaVictoria

Can’t regret youLike to get you

In my arms for a while

Pass thru this life in such short yearsLeave memories with all we touch

The ache and pain with all the tearsCan sometimes prove too much

Lived your life in the old school yardPassed the days in schoolgirl games

Lit the lives in which you starredLeft the memory in your name

VictoriaVictoria

Never met youCan’t forget you

Lived in the shadow of your smileVictoriaVictoria

Can’t regret youLike to get you

In my arms for a while© 2011Words by Barry O’Hagan

Driving along on this empty roadGot my mind on overloadI've reached the crossroads,And now its time to make my choiceTemperatures rising,Priorities fighting to take controlGotta go back and face the music,Hear my voice

I’ve got too much to do and too much to sayToo many reasons not to come out and playToo much tomorrow and too much todayAnd too many people who just won't see things my way

Rain is falling, and clouds are forming all around me nowThere ain’t no sunshine at all to light my wayThe wind is blowing, and I keep slowing, I can’t go onToo many shadows following me both night and day

I’ve got too much to do and too much to sayToo many reasons not to come out and playToo much tomorrow and too much todayAnd too many people who just won't see things my way

I’ve got too much to do and too much to sayToo many reasons not to come out and playToo much tomorrow and too much todayAnd too many people who just won't see things my way

I need to find a state of mindThat calms me downHow many timesI've played this gameand lost it allThe dice are loadedthe wheel is spinningout of controlThis time I think I'll fold my cardsand take the fall

I’ve got too much to do and too much to sayToo many reasons not to come out and playToo much tomorrow and too much todayAnd too many people who just won't see things my way

I’ve got too much to do and too much to sayToo many reasons not to come out and playToo much tomorrow and too much todayAnd too many people who just won't see things my way

I’m sitting on the edge Should I jump or will I fall And if I say your name

I know I’ll lose it all

When we started in the SpringI was mouse and you were King

Made my mark and filled your headMade a partner for your bed

Hands were kind and eyes were blueNever met someone like you

Rolled us through those lovelorn daysNow I’m sitting on the edge …

I’m sitting on the edge Should I jump or will I fall And if I say your name

I know I’ll lose it all

Lost our way within the hazeFell beneath the crashing wavesLost our way among the caves

Dead eyes shake me to the coreLove lies lifeless on the floor

Know we’re running out of timePour another glass of wine

And come closer to the edge

Where did you go?

Why did you turn?

Where are you now?

Feel my breath burn

Kiss me long and kiss me nowLost the plot and broke the vow

Heaven knows where Summer’s goneWinter nights are cold and long

Find a reason, find a wayMore than life I know and pray

Take this lonely part of meAnd I’m sitting on the edge

I’m sitting on the edge

I’m sitting on the edge

Here I go listening to youThink for myself is what I should doClose to the edge I’m gonna fall off

Falling through space gliding through timeI can’t hold on I’m losing my gripRain in my face I’m bound to slipWhere can I run to find my peace

Where can I hide from the truth inside

Maybe I’m one of the lucky onesJust a lost soul in the face of the sun

Maybe get back to where I begunMaybe just one of the lucky ones

Hear me call break my fallHold my hand take me in your armsSpin me round miles off the groundRead my face the ghost of a smileAsk no questions you’ll hear no lies

Take me as you find me take me as I amI’ll find my peace deep within me

Find my soul when I find you

Maybe I’m one of the lucky onesJust a lost soul in the face of the sun

Maybe get back to where I begunMaybe just one of the lucky ones

Maybe I’m one of the lucky onesJust a lost soul in the face of the sun

Maybe get back to where I begunMaybe just one of the lucky ones

Hold me close hear my heartListen for tears they’re bound to start

Feel my pulse it echoes withinThe peace that you bring I know I’ll winMelting away like thieves in the night

Gone are the days like shadows in flightLook in my eyes now as I stand trueI found my soul when I found you

Maybe I’m one of the lucky onesJust a lost soul in the face of the sun

Maybe get back to where I begunMaybe just one of the lucky ones

Maybe I’m one of the lucky onesJust a lost soul in the face of the sun

Maybe get back to where I begunMaybe just one of the lucky ones

Will the sun still shine tomorrow?Wait awhile and see

Maybe we’ll go to the edge tomorrowGive it time and we’ll see

And when tomorrow comes aroundAnd the rain clouds blow and billowI’ll remember the words you spoke

Just you wait and you’ll see

And did I ask too muchTo wear these wedding rings

We’ll see, we’ll see who’s strongDid I ask too much

To wear these wedding ringsWe’ll see, we’ll see who’s strong

Life is what you make itI was told and we’ll see

In the end all you need is a good friendI’ll promise this you’ll see

So be the truth in youAnd I will be the one

Who gives, and gives till I’m goneSo be the truth in youAnd I will be the one

Who gives, and gives till I’m gone

Forging chains made of goldBut my sparks have been sold

Though we both chose this wayDeep lines drawn in the clayWhen you first took my handHow could you understandGlimmers still catch my eyeBut I’m here where you lie

I hear you whisper in my earYour words to me, loud and clear

We’ll be together, for ever, and a dayWe were meant to be, they’ll say:

We’ll see what life bringsWe’ll hear if my heart sings

We’ll see, we’ll see what will beWe’ll see what life brings

We’ll hear if my heart singsWe’ll see, we’ll see what will be

What will be

We’ll see.

Heads for work on a Monday; sweats blood all week longWishing all week for a Friday night; tries to keep it strongWaits for the days to go by; to keep his soul intactGot to keep going to save his mind; no way he’s going back

Live your life on the dreams you share, and the road won’t seem too longGet to the end with time to spare, no matter which path you wind

Been on the road for twenty long years; knows what it’s like to grindNever had the love of a soul who cared; as he moved from town to townHe wants to get back to a life that’s him; he knows it suits him bestThe rush that he feels when he’s out on the road; is the only thing in the end

Live your life on the dreams you share, and the road won’t seem too longGet to the end with time to spare, no matter which path you wind

He don’t know what to do about: the loneliness in his heartHe’s haunted by the ghost of a time; long gone and years apartCaught somewhere between heaven and hell; the past always present in the scars on his faceHe’ll carry his sins with him always; move on to another place

Got to get back on the road again; it will tear his soul in twoHe’s living his life in an empty shell; in the end it will break him tooHe carries a picture close inside; the only one to stay awhileThough she’s gone she’s with him forever; all his tomorrows in her smile

Live your life on the dreams you share, and the road won’t seem too longGet to the end with time to spare, no matter which path you windLive your life on the dreams you share, and the road won’t seem too longGet to the end with time to spare, no matter which path you wind
