    [X]

    letra de Lessons in Love

    I'm not proud, I was wrong

    And the truth is hard to take

    I felt sure we had enough

    But our love went overboard



    Lifeboat lies lost at sea

    I've been trying to reach your shore

    Waves of doubt keep drowning me



    All the dreams that we were building

    We never fulfilled them

    Could be better, should be better

    For lessons in love



    For restless eyes, egos burn

    And the mold is hard to break

    Now we've waded in too deep

    And love is overboard



    Heavy hearts, token words

    All the hopes I ever had

    Fade like footprints in the sand



    All the homes that we were building

    We never lived in

    Could be better, should be better

    Lessons in love



    If we lose the time before us

    The future will ignore us

    We should use it, we could use it, yeah

    Lessons in love

    Lost without love



    Lessons in love

    When will you ever learn

    Lessons in love

    When there's nowhere left to turn



    Lessons in love

    Don't let your spirit burn

    Lessons in love

    I'll wait 'till you return



    All the dreams that we were building

    We never lived them

    We should use it, we could use it, yeah

    For lessons in love



    All the homes that we were building

    we never lived in

    Could be better, should be better

    Lessons in love



    If we lose the time before us

    The future will ignore us

    We should use it, we could use it, yeah

    Lessons in love

    [X]

    letra de The Sun Goes Down (Living It Up)

    Though I live in the edge time is on my side

    All the doors to my life are open wide

    Just as long as the wheels keep on turning round

    I will live for the groove 'til the sun goes down



    Living it up ... living it up ... I can feel it

    Living it up ... is it a crazy notion?

    Living it up ... living it up ... I can feel it

    Living it up ... I got forward motion



    I don't wanna go to war, I don't wanna go to war

    I said I know what I want an' I don't wanna go to war

    Do you follow me?

    I saw a soldier standing in a bar, looked so tired, he'd come so far

    He said "I need to love someone before they drop the atom bomb"



    There's a girl at the back making eyes at me

    And her hair long and black is a sight to see

    But I get kind of scared when love's around

    I just live for the groove 'til the sun goes down



    Living it up ... living it up ... I can feel it

    Living it up ... is it a false emotion?

    Living it up ... living it up ... I can feel it

    Living it up ... I got forward motion



    So I'm-a-taking you out but I'm-a-faking

    I'm married to the beat

    To the music I gave the heart I could have given you-hoo

    Still there's something 'bout the way that you move

    And the way the people stare, it's the shock of the new

    I want my friends to see me standing next to you



    The sun goes down



    Time is on my side

    I don't care what they say, I'll enjoy the ride

    But I get kind of scared when I turn around

    So I'll stay with the groove 'til the sun goes down



    Living it up ... living it up ... I can feel it

    Living it up ... I got forward motion



    Ooh watch her dance

    There must be one like her in every club in every town

    But I don't mind if that's the way she wants to be

    There something 'bout her that reminds me of me

    She's my soulmate - we'll be together 'til the sun goes down



    The sun goes down



    Living it up ... living it up ... I can feel it

    Living it up ... I got forward motion

  3. Heaven in My HandsVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Heaven in My Hands

    I'm going nowhere

    Gotta face up to it

    Gotta wake up to it

    I feel so guilty

    Killing time is a sin

    A dam burst of dreams flows thru' me

    They show me where I could be

    Flash point feelings flow

    Thru' my mind moving



    When my friends tell me

    You just can't connect

    You ain't got no respect

    They tell me nothing

    'Cos I know about that

    Yes I know about that

    I'm not gonna take what people say

    Don't feel that I belong today

    Sense of freedom and

    Sense of pride



    From the mountains to the sea

    I'll run across this land

    Looking out for strength and beauty

    A diamond in the sand

    And I will chase the four winds over

    Trying to understand

    And I won't stop until I'm holding

    Heaven in my hands



    I won't let nobody

    Turn me off the track

    Now there's no turning back

    Won't let no worries

    Turn my inside down

    Now there's no room for doubt

    I'm heading for my destiny

    And it feels electric to me

    Flash point feelings flow

    Thru' my mind



    I was lonely going nowhere

    Drowning on dry land

    I was almost stranded there a

    Shipwreck on the sand

    But now I'll chase the whole world over

    Making my demands

    And I won't stop until I'm holding

    Heaven in my hands



    From the mountains to the sea

    I'll run across this land

    Looking out for strength and beauty

    A diamond in the sand

    And I will chase the four winds over

    Trying to understand

    And I won't stop until I'm holding

    Heaven in my hands

    I was lonely going nowhere

    Drowning on dry land

    I was almost stranded there a

    Shipwreck on the sand

    But now I'll chase the whole world over

    Making my demands

    And I won't stop until I'm holding

    Heaven in my hands

  4. Something About YouVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Something About You

    Ooh...

    Ooh...

    How - how can it be that a love

    Carved out of caring fashioned by fate

    Could suffer so hard

    From the games played much too often

    But making mistakes is a part

    Of life's imperfections born of the years

    Is it so wrong to be human after all



    Drawn into the stream

    Of undefined illusion

    Those diamond dreams

    They can't disguise the truth

    That there is something about you

    Baby so right

    I wouldn't be without you baby tonight



    If ever our love was concealed

    No one can say that we didn't feel

    A million things

    And a perfect dream of life

    Gone, fragile but free

    We remain tender together

    If not so in love

    It's not so wrong

    We're only human after all



    These changing years

    They add to your confusion

    Oh and you need to hear the time

    That told the truth

    That there is something about you

    Baby so right

    Don't want to be without you

    Baby tonight

    Because there's something about you

    Baby so right

    I couldn't live without you

    Baby tonight



    Ooh...

    Ooh...

    And there's something about you

    I couldn't live without you

    Tonight

  5. Hot WaterVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Hot Water

    Tell me something

    Why do I always find it hard

    Just to get along

    Try my best for nothing

    Every little thing I do is wrong



    Feel it in my brain

    Driving me insane

    Round and round

    The same old tune



    Daddy's on the phone

    You know you're not alone

    Turn that down

    And clean up your room



    Sons and daughters

    (Don't fall in)

    In hot water

    Sons and daughters

    (They don't do)

    What they oughta



    Tell (tell) you something

    Music is the key to set me free

    To the beat (on the street) I'm jumping

    Forgetting all the things they said 'bout me



    Here it comes again

    Chugging like a train

    Round and round

    An impeccable groove



    I know it's getting late

    But I won't hesitate

    Can't slow down

    Got to do what I do



    Sons and daughters

    (Always in)

    In hot water



    Wasting time

    Is a crime in their eyes

    But I'm still young

    So much time to decide what to do



    I don't need confirmation

    For my boyhood extrapolation

    Though I'm not sure of my direction

    I have the groove for my protection



    Here it comes again

    Chugging like a train

    Round and round

    An impeccable groove



    I know it's getting late

    But I won't hesitate

    Can't slow down

    Got to do what I do



    Sons and daughters

    (Don't fall in)

    In hot water

    (When they fall by the way)

    Sons and daughters

    (They don't do)

    What they oughta



    Tell me something

    Where you staying tonight

    Your folks

    Have waited up for you

    Now they've locked the door

    And turned off the light

  6. The Chinese WayVer letra

    [X]

    letra de The Chinese Way

    Take a journey back in time

    Leave the western world behind

    Cross the mountains to Peking

    Where the paper lanterns gently swing



    The Chinese way

    Who knows what they know

    The Chinese legend grows



    The Chinese way

    Who knows what they know

    The Chinese legend grows



    My eyes wide open

    I feel a breeze

    Words softly spoken

    In Cantonese



    Standing at the master's side

    Then with patience he confides

    Secret knowledge, sacred ways

    Pearls of wisdom from the dragon days



    I could never lie

    For honor I would die

    Following the Chinese way



    So many years ago

    Heroes ruled the world

    (Some died for love in a cruel world)

    They were the only ones in a cruel world



    I could never lie

    For honor I would die

    Following the Chinese way



    From the mountains to Peking

    Where the paper lanterns gently swing



    The Chinese way

    Who knows what they know

    The Chinese legend grows



    The Chinese way

    Who knows what they know

    The Chinese legend grows



    The Chinese way

    Who knows what they know

    The Chinese legend grows



    The Chinese way

    Who knows what they know

    The Chinese legend grows

  7. Leaving Me NowVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Leaving Me Now

    It seems true love is so rare

    Seems all I've known is deceit

    Your laughter fills the air

    Once more I'm sensing defeat



    And I suppose you're leaving me now

    I was so sure, now I'm so full of doubt

    And I suppose you'll be leaving this place

    Just like the smile you've wiped from my face

    This time



    I always gave my best

    Your memory serves you so badly

    Some people kill for less

    Yet I'd still die for you gladly (so gladly)



    But I suppose it's my turn now

    To play a scene that's familiar somehow

    I turn the page and you walk away

    Not even love could bring you to stay

    This time



    Walk away, it's so easy



    Once more I'm learning

    In the depths of my despair

    Your lies confirming

    True love is so rare



    And I suppose it's my turn now

    There's no more love, only feelings of doubt

    Gone with the hope your words have erased

    Gone with the smile you wiped from my face



    Love is a ship we all hope to steer

    Through troubled times, 'cross an ocean of tears

    A midnight sea that swells in your eyes

    Takes just one look to know I'm still mesmerised



    But I suppose you're leaving me now

    I was so sure, now I'm so full of doubt

    I turn the page and you walk away

    Not even love could bring you to stay

    This time



    Leaving me now

    Leaving this place

  8. Running in the FamilyVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Running in the Family

    Our dad would send us to our room

    He'd be the voice of doom

    He said that we would thank him later

    All day, he was solid as a rock

    But by eight o'clock

    We'd be crumbling



    One night, my brother Joe and me

    Climbed down the family tree

    That grew outside our bedroom window

    We ran, though we knew it couldn't last

    Running from the past

    From things that we were born to be



    Looking back, it's so bizarre

    It runs in the family

    All the things we are

    On the back seat of the car

    With Joseph and Emily

    We only see so far

    And we all have our daddy's eyes

    Looking back, it's so bizarre



    Dad rang the officer in charge

    A man so large

    He barely fit his circumstances

    He said two kids out on the street

    Were picked up on the beat

    And in the station



    So there's me, with Emily and Joe

    Daddy driving home

    All heading in the same direction

    He knew, no matter what the breaks

    We'd make the same mistakes

    Couldn't take his eyes of Joe and me



    Looking back, it's so bizarre

    It runs in the family

    All the things we are

    On the back seat of the car

    With Joseph and Emily

    We only see so far

    And we all have our daddy's eyes

    Looking back, it's so bizarre

    It runs in the family

    All the things we are

    Looking back, it's so bizarre



    Like a dream within a dream

    We're all somewhere in between

    Like a drummer plays his drum

    Like a father, like a son



    And your gonna have to face the music, oh yeah

    Face the music



    Hey hey, we keep it running in the family

    Hey hey, we keep it coming in the family



    Looking back, it's so bizarre

    It runs in the family

    All the things we are

    On the back seat of the car

    With Joseph and Emily

    We only see so far

    'Cause we all have our daddy's eyes

    Looking back, it's so bizarre, whoa yeah

    Running in the family

    Running in the family

    And we all have our daddy's eyes

    Looking back, it's so bizarre, whoa yeah

    Running in the family

  9. To Be with You AgainVer letra

    [X]

    letra de To Be with You Again

    I've been making moves in chains

    Wrapped around my hollow heart the thought of you remains

    I can't replace your face no matter how I try

    And in the night I cry from wanting you



    You know I thought I could not lose

    America was calling me you said I must choose

    Between a life of love or visions that will fade

    And now the choice is made I'm so lonely



    Can you feel me reaching out to you?

    I'm so lonely, are you lonely too?

    I would give anything to make you understand

    That I would go anywhere to be with you again



    Heaven help me if you can

    I remember better days, now I understand

    You can't buy happiness, love is not for sale

    The night is turning pale and I'm needing you

    I've tried to talk the time away (but the time is here to stay)

    Empty ears aren't listening

    To one word I say (time to play)

    The dream became a big machine out of control

    And here inside my soul, I'm so lonely



    Where are you now when I need you so?

    I'm so lonely, I need you to know

    I would give anything to make you understand

    And I would go anywhere to be with you again



    I was standing in the rain

    I need to be with you again, yeah, baby



    Can you feel me reaching out to you?

    I'm so lonely, are you lonely too?

    Where are you now, now I need you so?

    I'm so lonely, I need you to know

    I would give anything to make you understand

    And I would go anywhere to be with you again, be with you again

  10. TracieVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Tracie

    Steppin' out from underneath my shadow

    Walking home from fridays nine to five

    Rememberin' the long way round the meadow

    The one we used to take from time to time



    I thought about you

    How you must have changed now baby

    Far away from me

    How I used to savour all your kisses

    Where no one else could see



    Exchanging knowing glances across the schoolroom

    Dreamin' of a love down by the sea

    Changing plans to cover up for one another

    Working on our secret fantasy



    But now as I walk down the road to your house baby

    There's no one there but me

    How I wish that I could steal your kisses

    Just as they used to be

    And I wanna know



    Tracie, where are you now girl

    I don't know why this feeling's so strong

    Tracie, where have you been

    You know there's no one now to tell us we're wrong



    Countin' by the street lights to the phone box

    Where we used to meet before the dawn

    Smoking on the top floor of the school bus

    Promising the moon as we rode along



    But now if I saw you across a crowded dance floor

    Or somewhere in the town

    Would you show me what I have been missing

    And spin me round and round



    Tracie, where are you now girl

    I don't know why this feeling's so strong

    Tracie, where have you been

    You know there's no one now to tell us we're wrong



    'cause deep inside from some other place

    I turn to find we're there face to face

    We laugh, we cry, we work and we play

    As love filled night gives way to the day



    [repeat chorus]

  13. Children SayVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Children Say

    I keep to myself

    what I might share with others

    but they don't seem to understand

    I open my mouth

    to rediscover

    that I don't have the words at my command

    holding out

    for a world so much better

    but I'm a stranger in a stranger's land

    all my friends have sold out

    couldn't handle the pressure

    counting their blessings trying to salvage what they can



    Children say - children say

    we open our minds as one

    but one more day - slips away

    why don't the dreams of the young never come to be



    When I overhear

    my parents conversations

    well I'm struck by the things they say

    it seems they traded the years

    for mere complications

    who ever thought it could end this way

    they close the door

    but they can't lock it

    'cause something of their childhood remains

    and they've felt it before

    when the man in their pocket

    counted the cost of their material gains



    Children say - come what may

    be strong for the friends you've known

    but one fine day - (not) far away

    will we remember the love we used to own

    Children say - children say

    we open our minds as one

    as one more day slips away

    why don't the dreams of the young never come to be



    Well you knew what I was saying

    but did you know what it meant

    when you saw that look in my eye

    did you know it was heaven sent

    was it all a waking dream

    all that time we must have spent

    well I guess it must have been

    somehow that feeling came and went



    Children say - come what may

    be strong for the friends you've known

    but one fine day - (not) far away

    will we remember the love we used to own

    Children say - children say

    we open our minds as one

    as one more day - slips away

    why don't the dreams of the young never come to be

    Children say - children say

    we thought it would never go

    as one more day - slips away

    who ever thought we could be so lonely

    letra de Love Games

    As I watch your face

    I can see my life go by

    You mean everything to me

    Just can't take no more

    Throw a smile my way

    And the pain I feel inside

    Turns to love for you

    And I'm yours



    Do lovers ever need to hide

    The things they really feel inside

    I simply need you to need me

    Can't you see



    Once I hoped to be

    Your lover and your friend

    But it turned into a game

    I won't play no more

    I believe I'm right

    When I say you loved me too

    It just can't go on

    Your love games

    Your love games



    Do lovers ever need to hide

    The things they really feel inside

    If you won't show your heart to me

    Set me free



    Now the time has come

    To show you how I feel

    The love I gave to you

    I can't give no more

    Even now I see

    The salt tears in your eyes

    But it can't go on

    Your love games

    Your love games



    Your love games

    Your love games

    [X]

    letra de Turn It On

    Reach into to another day

    And the world is just one step away

    Making money living blind

    It's time to change - leave it all behind



    Turn it on - whenever you can

    Turn it on - you know that you can



    Hear the echoes in your heart

    tune your minds in then make a start

    Anything you want to be

    Will soon become reality

    Then you'll see



    Turn it on - whenever you can

    Turn it on - you know that you can



    You're out of touch - so turn it up

    You don't need much - to burn it up



    Take a different point of view

    And discover just what you can do

    Getting closer every day

    Now the world is just a step away - (don't delay)



    Turn it on - whenever you can

    Turn it on - you know that you can



    You hit the top - so turn it up

    You'll never stop - just burn it up



    Turn it on (turn it on) - whenever you can

    Turn it on (groovin' on) - you know that you can



    Turn it on (turn it on, yeah) - whenever you can

    Turn it on (just movin' on) - you know that you can



    Turn it on



    Turn it on



    Turn it on



    Turn it on

    [X]

    letra de Starchild

    When I was an infant in my mother's arms

    I would watch the starlight in her face

    'Cause I was reaching out to understand the cosmic charm

    I am just a starchild born in space



    Way up high above the sky

    All that beauty passes by

    Whole worlds still unknown

    And out beyond the blue

    There's a place for people too

    It's time for us to go



    I have seen the sun shine bright in paradise

    I have been there, I have seen it

    Everywhere space people stare through ageless eyes

    I have seen them, I believe it



    Way up high above the sky

    All that beauty passes by

    Whole worlds still unknown

    And out beyond the blue

    There's a place for people too

    It's time for us to go



    We have time

    (In my dreams)

    Time and space

    While we're young

    (Floating free)

    We can chase

    To the stars



    Searching for the magic in the universe

    Guided by the stars that light my way

    I have seen the sun shine bright in paradise

    I am just a starchild born in space



    If you want to go with me I'll take you there

    I've been shown the secrets face to face

    I have seen the sun shine bright in paradise

    I am just a starchild born in space

  17. Take a LookVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Take a Look

    I'm a ragged man with a ragged heart

    but I wear my soul with pride

    you can see me on the road

    see my carrying my home

    and perhaps it seems that I'm all alone

    but I'm happy here inside

    you can keep your fancy dress

    'cause to me it don't impress



    when I look in your face

    that camera smile looks out of place on you

    by the look in your eyes

    I can see you realize



    so lend yourself to me

    I'll show you what could be



    well I've come so far down so many roads

    I've experienced your pain

    you know that that's a fact

    I can see the way you act

    but I learned to see what was wrong with me

    and I won't go back again

    I know I've made mistakes

    but I also made the break



    you surround yourself

    with secrets you are afraid to show to the world

    you convince yourself

    there's no other way to go don't you

    see the smile on my face

    does it look so out of place



    so lend yourself to me

    I'll show you what could be (yes I will)



    so many ways

    for you to spend the passing days



    loving and living or losing and using

    life is forgiving so use it well

    feeling revealing or wheeling and dealing

    life's not for stealing and time will tell



    take a look at your face

    take a look at your face



    you must surely know

    if man made heaven then man made hell

    so take a look at yourself

    what's this secret you can't tell me

    (when I look in your face

    I see that smile so out of place on you

    and by the look in your eyes

    I can see you realize, oh yeah)
