Goodbye England's Rose
May you ever grow in our hearts.
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart.
You called out to our country,
And you whispered to those in pain.
Now you belong to heaven,
And the stars spell out your name.
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind:
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in.
And your footsteps will always fall here,
Along England's greenest hills;
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend ever will.
Loveliness we've lost;
These empty days without your smile.
This torch we'll always carry
For our nation's golden child.
And even though we try,
The truth brings us to tears;
All our words cannot express
The joy you brought us through the years.
Goodbye England's Rose,
From a country lost without your soul,
Who'll miss the wings of your compassion
More than you'll ever know.

There was a time
I was everything and nothing all in one
When you found me
I was feeling like a cloud across the sun
I need to tell you
How you light up every second of the day
That in the moonlight
You just shine like a beacon on the bay
And I can't explain
But there's something about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
It's that feeling I get about you deep inside
And I can't describe
But there's something about the way you look tonight
It takes my breath away
The way you look tonight
With that smile
You pull the deepest secrets from my heart
In all honesty
I'm speechless and I don't know where to start
And I can't explain
But there's something about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
It's that feeling I get about you deep inside
And I can't describe
But there's something about the way you look tonight
It takes my breath away
The way you look tonight
The way you look tonight
The way you look tonight
The way you look tonight
The way you look tonight
The way you look tonight
The way you look tonight
The way you look tonight
The way you look tonight

Man stands in all his glory
Sitting at the crossroads of the same old story
Man got his make-up, wears it like a mask
Hides inside a child, lives inside a glass
Man breathes his own deceit
Man worships his own defeat
Oh I'm a man, I know what it feels like
I'm a man, working on the living part of life
You see through me, I understand
But don't lose hope if you can
Have a little faith in man
Shakespeare's men got all the lines
Modern man lives back in time
Man got bravado in his big steel hands
Runs with the wolf, sleeps with the lamb
Man falls, cuts and bleeds
Man stumbles on his own belief
He's the hoax behind the thrill
The poison arrow, the bitter pill
Hard to swallow, hard to kill, hard to understand
He's the light behind the hill
The broken promise, the iron will
Hard to kill, hard to understand
[To Top]
In life one has to face a huge assortment
Of nauseating fads and good advice
There's health and fitness, diet and deportment
And other pointless forms of sacrifice
Conversation, wit, I am a doubter
Manners, charm, they're no way to impress
So forget the inner me, observe the outer
I am what I wear and how I dress
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere, ooh
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere, ooh
Now I believe in looking like my time on earth is cooking
With polka-dotted stripes or even checks
With some glamour guaranteeing every fiber of my being
Is displayed to quite remarkable effects
From your cradle via trousseau to your death bed you're on view so
Never compromise accept no substitute
I would rather wear a barrel than conservative apparel
A dress has always been my strongest suit
Staying in or hitting townwards, from the top and working downwards
I ensure that every stitch is stitched in time
Whether wig or hat or turban, whether clog, boudoir or urban
Not to strut your stuff outrageously's a crime
And the few who are invited to my wardrobe are delighted
As they wander through my things to find a route
That in negligee or formal I am anything but normal
A dress has always been my strongest suit
Now you don't need a recital of the reasons why its vital
That tonight I simply have to look my best
That from coronet to sandal no one else is worth a candle
That I couldn't make more impact if I'm dressed
So bring me out my finest, most audacious, my divinest
Most revealing, most expensive and to boot
Most arresting, most heart-stopping, most free-flowing, most eye-popping
A dress has always been my strongest suit

We can spend the night right
So honey turn out the lights
and do it nice and slow
Do it nice and slow
You can work on a charm
And tell the man in your arms
To do it nice and slow
Do it nice and slow
Lying here in a way that I have always wanted
Close to you in a scene that I have always haunted
Time and time again we defended a right to cling to
Our love-shy goodbyes, for broken hearts could cry
You can do it, you can do it slow
You can do it slow, slow, slow
You can do it slow, slow
Do it nice and slow
You can turn on the heat
To keep a man on the streets
When you do it nice and slow
I like it when you do it nice and slow
You can work on a spell
And weave your magic so well
When you do it nice and slow
come on and do it nice and slow
You can do it, you can do it I know
You can do it nice and slow
You can do it, you can do it
You can do it nice and slow, slow
I like it when you do it slow, slow
Come on and do it
Do it nice and slow

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those, who can easily hide,
I don't have much money, but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live.
If I as a sculptor, but then again no,
or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
my gift is my song and this one's for you.
And you can tell everybody, this is your song
it may be quite simple but now that it's done,
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
that I put down in words
how wonderful life is while you're in the world.
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
well a few of the Verses, well they've got me quite cross
but the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song,
it's for people like you, that keep it turned on.
So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
you see I've forgotten, if they're green or they're blue
anyway the thing is, what I really mean
yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen.
[To Top]
Don't go braking my heart
I couldn't if I tried
oh honey if I get restless
baby you're not that kind.
Don't go braking my heart
you take the weight off me
oh honey when you knock on my door
Ooo I gave you my key.
OoOo nobody knows it
when I was down
I was your clown
OoOo nobody knows it
right from the start
I gave you my heart
OhOh... I gave you my heart
So don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart.
And nobody told us
'cos nobody showed us
and now it's up to us babe
oh I think we can make it
So don't misunderstand me
you put the light in my life
oh you put the spark to the flame
I've got your heart in my sights.
OoOo... Nobody knows it
but wehn I was down
I was your colwn
right from the start
I gave you my heart
Ohoh... I gave you my heart.

Blue eyes, baby's got blue eyes
like a deep blue sea
on a blue blue day.
Blue eyes, baby's got blue eyes.
when the morning comes
I'll be far away
and I say:
Blue eyes holding back the tears,
holding back the pain.
Baby's got blue eyes
and she's alone again.
Blue eyes, baby's got blue eyes
like a clear blue sky
watching over me.
Blue eyes, Ooh I love blue eyes.
when I'm by her side
where I long to be
I will see
Blue eyes laughing in the sun
laughing in the rain.
Baby's got blue eyes
and I am home again.
[To Top]
It's a human sign
when things go wrong
when the scent of her lingers
and temptations strong
In to the boundry
of each married man
sweet deceit comes callin'
and negativity lands.
Cold cold heart
hard done by you
some things look better baby
just passin' through
And it's no sacrifice
just a simple word
it's two hearts living
in to seperate worlds
but it's no sacrifice
no sacrifice
it's no sacrifice at all.
Mutual Misunderstanding
after the fact
sensitivity builds a prison
in the final act.
We lose direction
no stone unturned
no tears to damn you
when jealously burns.
