See the tears run down her face
Unhappy in her happy place
What it is I think I know
She's trying hard to let him go
She goes
These tears are all I have, are all I have
To remind me
These sweet tears are all I have
Are all I have
These tears are all I have, are all I have
To remind me
These sweet tears are all I have
Are all I have
Falling gently they begin
Soft and salty on her skin
They keep on coming through the night
If only I could make it right
But she doesn't want these tears to stop
She'd rather he was there than not
And they could be his epitaph
And if she didn't cry she'd laugh
She’d laugh
These tears…
These tears…
These tears are all I have, are all I have
To remind me
These sweet tears are all I have
Are all I have
These tears are all I have, are all I have
To remind me
These sweet tears are all I have
Are all I have
Yeah yeah
These tears are all I have, are all I have
To remind me
These sweet tears are all I have
Are all I have
(Are all I have)
These tears are all I have, are all I have

You could be a writer, fisherman or fighter,
You could be the jewel in the crown,
You could be a leader, doctor or a diva,
You could be the talk of this town.
You could be designer, major or a minor,
You could be a game show host,
You could drive your race car, president or pop star,
You could be the first past the post.
You could be amazing, funny and brave and lucky and glorious.
The sky’s the limit
So dive on in it,
Go fly your colours
So high above us
You’re just beginning, so don't look down
Cause the sky's the limit.
You could be the wise one
Tougher than the top gun,
You could be the king of it all,
You could be the queen bee
Bigger than the big cheese
You could be the bell of the ball
You could be inspiring or beguiling or notorious
The sky’s the limit
So dive on in it,
Go fly your colours
So high above us
Yeah
And bring me back a souvenir the next time your around,
Now fly before there's too much here to keep you on the ground.
When you've got a view so clear and no fear of falling.
The sky’s the limit
So dive on in it,
Go fly your colours
So high above us
You’re just beginning, so don't look down
Cause the sky's the limit.

Runaway, runaway, runaway from me
Oh-Oh-Ohhhh
I can't believe I did that
I didn't think it through
I made you cry
Now I could die
I'd run if I were you
Not like you didn't warn me
I've had my second chance
I'd seize the day
And walk away
Without a backward glance
I wouldn't blame you,
I wouldn't blame you
But
If you leave me, can I come too
Can I jump the aboard and ride with you
Together we'd be starting new
Without me in the way
If you leave me, can I come too
Can I be the one to tell him we're done?
Runaway, Runaway, Runaway from me
(with me)
Runaway, Runaway, Runaway from me
Oh-oh-ohhhh
I can't believe I said that
I should've watched my mouth
I've got a nerve
You don't deserve
The pain that I dish out
I've got a bad, bad feeling
I haven't finished yet
I'd say "I'm done"
Then cut and run
As far as I could get
I wouldn't blame you
But
If you leave me, can I come too
Can I jump the aboard and ride with you
Together we'd be starting new
Without me in the way
If you leave me, can I come too
Can I be the one to tell him we're done?
Yeah Yeah
Runaway, Runaway, Runaway from me
Runaway, Runaway, Runaway from me
(with me)
Runaway, Runaway, Runaway from me
Runaway, Runaway, Runaway from me
(with me)
Runaway, Runaway, Runaway from me
Runaway, Runaway, Runaway from me
(with me)
Runaway, Runaway, Runaway from me
(with me)
Runaway, Runaway, Runaway from me
(with me)

He's run his course he's run his race
The years are etched upon his face
What was his name, what was his name.
The scores are in the bets are off
He's had his fill he's had enough
A crying shame, a crying shame
If I ever get like that
If I ever get like that
Shoot Me
Please don't let me get like that
If I ever get like that
Shoot Me
The game is up, his day is done,
He can't go back, he can't go on,
What can he do
What can he do
Yeah!
If I ever get like that
If I ever get like that
Shoot Me
Please don't let me get like that
If I ever get like that
Shoot Me
Wo-Ohh-ohhh
If I ever get like that
If I ever get like that
Shoot Me
Wo-Ohh-ohhh
Please don't let me get like that
If I ever get like that
Shoot Me
Wo-Ohh-ohhh
Please just shoot me
There's not a lot that I can do,
Not like I did but that’s ok
Still could teach them a thing or two
So, why do you point that gun at me
Wooh
If I ever get like that
If I ever get like that
Shoot Me
Yeahhh
Please don't let me get like that
If I ever get like that
Shoot Me
Wo-Ohh-ohhh
Don't Shoot Me
Don't Shoot Me
Please don’t shoot me
Wo-Ohh-ohhh
Wo-Ohh-ohhh

And my cup is full, and my luck is in,
And my face is set in a stupid grin,
And its happy hour and the world is smiling,
Every thunder cloud has a silver lining
Bad Day you’re having
No way you'll let me be
Cause it's the good life I’m living,
Hard time you're giving me
And I’m right on time, I’m right on track
And I love my life, and it loves me back
And a view unfolds I can feast my eyes on
There's a pot of gold over the horizon
Oh-oh-oh
Bad Day you’re having
No way you'll let me be
Cause it's the good life I’m living,
Hard time you're giving me
And I love my life
Want you to be happy, I want you to be
I want you to be happy, I want you to be
I want you to be happy, I want you to be
I want you to be happy,
But if you'd like to see me fail
If you'd like to see me fall
If my loss is your gain
If my joy is your pain
Oh, bad day you’re having
Hey-hey
Bad Day you’re having
No way you'll let me be
Cause it's the good life I’m living,
Hard time you're giving me
And I love my life and it loves me back

Two souls beside the ocean
At the mercy of its tide
One warm and tender moment
One cold December night
There sat beneath the bright stars
How were we to understand
That our lives would change forever
That night upon Red Strand
A stone’s throw away from Galley Head
By and by it came to pass
The song carried us to our bed
Laid on the broken glass
The moon pulled the waters closer
Our defences were unmanned
We let the waves roll over
That night upon Red Strand
We rode the great white horses
Bareback towards the shore
We felt the oceans forces
Like no-one ever had before
We heard the north wind speaking
For hidden in this magic land
We'd find what we were seeking
That night upon Red Strand
Well, we rode the great white horses
Bareback towards the shore
We felt the oceans forces
Like no-one ever had before
And no more the one and only
Never more the one man band
But how precious is the love we
Found on the golden sand but
I thank the Lord above me
For that night upon Red Strand

Enjoy the ride, the bumby ride
I hope that luck is on your side
I hope your arms are open wide
I hope you all
Enjoy the ride
Enjoy the dance, the crazy dance
I hope you get to take your chance
I hope you wear your funky pants
I hope you dare enjoy the dance
You don't know why you left the station
You don't know when your journey ends
You don't know what your destination is
Never know what lies around the bend
You might as well look out the window
And take in the scenery
Stay loose hang on tight
Who knows you might...
Enjoy the ride, the bumpy ride
I hope that luck is on your side
I hope your arms are open wide
I hope you all enjoy the ride
You don't know how to take the next step
You don't know who has marked your card
You don't know when they'll stop the music
You don't know why they make it oh so hard
You might as well join in the mayhem
You might as well go with the flow
Quick step or take it slow
Why don't you go
Enjoy the dance
Yeahhhhhhhhh
Enjoy the dance, the crazy dance
I hope you get to take your chance
I hope you wear your funky pants
I hope you dare enjoy the dance
I hope you might enjoy the ride
Enjoy the ride

It’s a pleasure and an honour
And I really wouldn’t wanna get the words wrong
I could make it easy
With a poem or a cheesy little love song
But I like to play it cool
I wouldn’t wanna look a fool
I wouldn’t wanna be a stalker or a freak
But we’ve got a situation that is quite unique
You’re the best, You’re the best
I confess it, I’m impressed
You’re amazing
You’re the wham, You’re the bam
You’re the thank-you and the mam
You’re the cat’s meow
You’re the best, Heaven’s sake
You’re the cherry on the cake
You’re amazing
You’re the knees of the bees
You’re the winner if you please
Take a bowowow
You’re funny and you’re shiny
And I’m loving every tiny thing about you
You’re beautiful and clever
And I wonder what I’d ever do without you
Don’t like to make a fuss
I wouldn’t wanna make you blush
I wouldn’t wanna have it going to your head
But it goes without saying that it must be said
You’re the best, You’re the best
I confess it, I’m impressed
You’re amazing
You’re the wham, You’re the bam
You’re the thank-you and the mam
You’re the cat’s meow
You’re the best, Heaven’s sake
You’re the cherry on the cake
You’re amazing
You’re the knees of the bees
You’re the winner if you please
Take a bowowow
Take a bowowow
I like to play it down
I wouldn’t want to look a clown
I wouldn’t wanna be a nuisance or a pest
But I’ve absolutely gotta get it off my chest
I am blessed
You’re the best
You’re the best
You’re the best, You’re the best
I confess it, I’m impressed
You’re amazing
You’re the wham, You’re the bam
You’re the thank-you and the mam
You’re the cat’s meow
You’re the best, Heaven’s sake
You’re the cherry on the cake
You’re amazing
You’re the knees of the bees
You’re the winner if you please
Take a bowowow

Hot one
Everybody's got one
Everybody else but you
Must have
Better than the riff raff
Better than the Jones's too
Tiny
Little black and shiny
Couldn't live a day without
A new one
Better then the old one
Better throw the old one out
Help me
I think I'll go to pieces
I think I'm gonna cry
If I don't get my
Stuff, Stuff
I can't get enough
I can't kick the drug I'm taking
Stuff, Stuff
I can't feel the love
I can't rise above this craving
Enslaving me
Fantastic
Stick it on your plastic
Never mind the debt you're in
Nonesuch
Doesn't matter how much
Gotta be the latest thing
Tres bon
Anything with knobs on
Anything with flashing lights
Hi five
Stick it on your hard-drive
Fill it up with gigabytes
Help me
I think I've gone to Hell
I think I'll go to war
If I don't get more
Stuff, Stuff
I can't get enough
I can't kick the drug I'm taking
Stuff, Stuff
I can't feel the love
I can't rise above this craving
Enslaving me
No saving me
Ohhhh
Stop, stop
I'm full to the top
I Feel, I Want, I Love, I Need
Ohhhh
Stuff, Stuff
I can't get enough
I can't kick the drug I'm taking
Ohhhh
Stuff, Stuff
I can't feel the love
I can't rise above this craving
Enslaving me

Babylon Bob just can't get a job can't pay his way
Sick of this junk can't wait for a punk to make his day
Pokemon Pete, young man in the street wants to be heard
Second Hand Sue gets mad wouldn't you if you were her
They wanna rock, the rock of ages,
They wanna burn this old house down
They got a thing to ring the changes now
Paranoid Floyd gets so damn annoyed and full of woe
Powder Keg Pam is so in a jam, she's ready to blow
It may not be big, it may not be clever,
But there could be tears if they get together.
They wanna rock, the rock of ages,
They wanna burn this old house down
They got a thing to ring the changes now
They wanna rock, the rock of ages,
They wanna burn this old house down
They got a thing to ring the changes now
Ohh
Woooo-ohhh
They could find hope in amongst this rubble
There could be truth but there'll sure be trouble
They wanna rock, the rock of ages,
They wanna burn this old house down
They got a thing to ring the changes
To ring the changes now
They wanna rock, the rock of ages,
They wanna burn this old house down
They got a thing to ring the changes now
Wooo-ohhhh
Yeah
They wanna rock, the rock of ages,
They wanna burn this old house down
They got a thing to ring the changes now

There's a wholeness in the half light
Of a new night when the day is done
And her soft skin has a warm glow
And I do know that I’m the lucky one
In a small boat on a calm sea
I can only look in awe
At the grey cliffs and the seal pup
As it swims up to the shore
There's an old pond in a tree shade
And a bed made from a pile of hay
And I lie there till the words come
If they don't come I lie there anyway
Near the old docks by the gas works
Where the monsters pick up sticks
In the old house cross the main road
Corgie truck loads lego bricks
Oooohhh
These are the things I’ll remember
These are the moments I’ll treasure
These are the pictures I will paint myself
At the ringing of the bell
There are high hopes in a high chair
Sitting in there is a king to be
And he's smiling his little heart out
As he holds out his little arms to me
And the long walks in the sunshine
And the red wine on my tongue
Oh how the sand runs through my fingers
How it lingers till it's gone
Oooohhh
These are the things I’ll remember
These are the moments I’ll treasure
These are the pictures I will paint myself
At the ringing of the bell

I fell, fell for her charms
Over my head, into her arms
You would have said
She had a heart of gold
I fell, fell for her lies
Hook, line and sinker
What a surprise
You'd never think her heart
Could be so cold
She made it all so easy
Anything to please me
Couldn't do a thing about it
She told me it would be fine
Just a bit of fun time
Didn't have a reason to doubt it
Then she pressed my buttons
And then she rang my bell
It’s little wonder why
I fell, fell for her charms
Over my head, into her arms
You would have said
She had a heart of gold
I fell, fell for her lies
Hook, line and sinker
What a surprise
You'd never think her heart
Could be so cold
She'll make it up
And shake it
Flatter me and fake it
Anything for my attention
It's easy when you look back
But how was I to know that
She's the mother of invention
Yes, she showed me heaven and
Then she gave me hell
Couldn't tell you why
I fell, why I fell
No… No… No…
I fell, fell for her charms
Over my head, into her arms
You would have said
She had a heart of gold
I fell, fell for her lies
Hook, line and sinker
What a surprise
You'd never think her heart
Could be so cold
I fell
