Chorus
Don’t feel the same as days back when
The music made your body swing
Don’t feel the same as days back when
The music made your body ...
Verse 1
The mellow tone, it gets me in the mood
Just take five while I get the Duke
Dance, confection, to my lips
Swing, perfection, can you feel it swing?
Chorus
Don’t feel the same as days back when
The music made your body swing
Don’t feel the same as days back when
The music made your body swing
Verse 2
Let the music, set the scene, romance
Will you take a chance, on love, or let the moment pass
Feel the thrill, to dance divine
Touch, but don’t rush, it’s got to be the right time
To swing….

Blessed gift of friendship
Precious place in my heart
Touched by perfect moment
Treasured all of my life
Free of our cares
Sharing our dreams
Special the days
So short they seem
Time though it passes
Memories always remain

Verse
Woh, don’t turn out the light
I fear the darkness I can’t stand the night
Silence surrounding, it closes around me I fall
Blackness comes creeping it taunts and it teases
I’m losing hold
Chorus
I must break away there is no escape
I must break away there is no escape
Verse
Mind awakens my body lies heavy and still
Helpless defenceless it uses my senses against my will
Is this some madness these forces that tear me apart
I crave them I fear them these unknown feelings I cannot stop

Dirty

Verse 1
Time now to sit back, relax in good company
A quiet drink sets the mood, feeling good, riding the breeze
Suddenly he appears, a look in his eyes that I recognise
I cant believe, he’s coming straight over to me
Verse 2
His manner direct, I can tell that he don’t waste his time
Moving in close he prepares to deliver his line
Sunken eyes that undress, oily hair all in a mess
He puffs out his chest, ready to give me his best
“So how about it baby”
Chorus
Dirty, you make me feel dirty
You’re taking my patience
To it’s limitations
Dirty, you make me feel dirty
Now I’m not the modest kind
But here’s where I draw the line
Verse 3
Rich and successful don’t make you respectable
Your manners look natural in animals not in a suit
Can I suggest a small hint, brown shoes have never been in
You’re short, double-chinned, but looks are not everything
Bridge
I hate to deflate your ego
But you are a poor excuse Romeo
I’m not some air headed bimbo
Go, leave me alone

Verse 1
There seems to be some problem
Communication breakdown, the conversation crumbles
Two attitudes conflicting, persisting for the ego
No compromise just making your point
Verse 2
We used to find relating, so natural
Enchanting, we shared an understanding
But now we seek distraction, attracting our attention
Away from where we came from, it’s all gone
Chorus
Past the point we can control
What we receive anymore
When every word twists from your tongue
Too many meanings all at once
Sometimes I think we’re breaking through
Finally finding the true
Meaning our words never say
Still understanding’s beyond our command

Cool Beer

|
Verse 1
So you think that maybe over a drink we can explore,
eachothers' minds a little more
We'll stake our common ground, laugh a little, fool around
What for?
Verse 2
Baby I'm not going to put on a face
that I don't normally wear
I'm going to tell it straight, the only thing that stimulates
the reason why I'm here
Chorus
Cool beer
Cool me
Cool beer
Cool me
Make me, happy
Comfort me
Verse 3
I have no feeling for the meaning,
of high art, for a start
Fashion doesn't interest, I'm not religious, never blessed
So what, shall we talk about?
Verse 4
The only friend that I've found true to the end is one,
who never questions me
Who's always there when I've got money to spare
to kiss my lips, with a bubble and hiss

A Dream Romance - live

Rising Moon
tropical night
shadows cast
by candlelight
Sway and dance
he takes my hand
A dream romance
Sail into a summer haze
The gentle breeze
it calls your name
We take to flight and join the stars
The world is ours do you feel
A dream romance could be real?
