One and one is one i hear
But it breaks my heart to come so near
And find division standing in our way
As london burns i lie awake
And wrestle with this passive state
But a broken heart is useless in these days

Chorus:
When i close my eyes to trouble
Baby i see you
And now i have the need to double
Everything i do
So i close my eyes and make a wish
Yeah, dream a dream for me
That one and one will someday be free

Oh boy i know
The crucial blow
They deal us every day
I feel it too
But need for you
To chase your blues away
But if my heart
Should come apart
My love should turn inside
I'll understand
You're just a man
I'll still be on your side

I've been searching
Seems like so long
For perfection
In a world made wrong
Here it's hard to be strong
Seems like we're heading
Down and down and down
But that's love

In my life, a million dreams take over
Paradise, a million miles away

You've been hurting
And i can see
As the world turns round and round
You spin with me
And when you're down
Don't you know i'm down too
But up or down
There's nowhere else i'd rather be
Than with you

In my mind, a million dreams take over
Paradise, a million miles away

In my life, a million dreams take over
Paradise, a million miles away

But walking down this lonely road
I stop and think of you
And i can see now
'cos i believe now
Paradise is true
Paradise is you

Now love is a burning ring
At the bottom of our being
Done down and disconnected
It lies like a sleeping thing
Our task is to awaken
Our mission it is clear
With lips and arms and unity
We've overcome our fear

Chorus:
That day will come
When everybody is a number one
Until that day
Thy never will be done

Some boss lickin' guy
Who said he was your friend
Tried to put me down
But i'll still be around
And for the people who would try
Just to take it apart
Let me tell it from the start
For the second time

Chorus

If i was a poet
I think i'd throw a stone
In anger and confusion
I would not be alone

Chorus

summer in the city where the air is still
A baby being born to the overkill
Who cares what people say
We walk down love's motorway

Ambition and love wearing boxing gloves
And singing hearts and flowers

Chorus:
(but) somewhere in my heart * (only in some chorus's)
There is a star that shines for you
Silver splits the blue
Love will see it through
And somewhere in my heart
There is the will to set you free
All you've got to be is true

A star above the city in the northern chill
A baby being born to the overkill
No say no place to go
A t.v. and a radio

Amibition and love wearing boxing gloves
And singing hearts and flowers

Chorus

But who could heal
What's never been as one
And our hearts have been torn
Since the day we were born
Just like anyone

From westwood to hollywood
The one thing that's understood
Is that you can't buy time
But you can sell your soul
And the closest thing to heaven is to rock and roll

It's called love
And every cruelty will cloud it
And his lie
True love could never allow it
'cos it's a lie that we have ceased to believe
We've said goodbye but it won't take its leave

Why should it take the tears of a woman
To see how men are

Perspective
It's no mystery
What you don't know always gets you
It will hurt you and desert you
So you'd better see
That it's a damage ever done by degrees
And some will take eternity to believe

Why should it take the tears of a woman
To see how men are

'cos love is a giving with no need of return
It lends itself to everything
And maybe one day man will see
That love is a lesson money never taught us to learn
Love is the power to act
Without the premise that there's nothing for free

And sometimes when we're just getting by and getting along
It's like we're scared to see that something is wrong

Why should it take the tears of a woman
To see how men are
