1. _ Runaway
Sitting at the crossways
Trying to keep my cool with the traffic lights
I've been up and down this line so any times
Girl, it's never right
Me and this machine keep the crazy urban dream
Locked in overflow
Sometimes i swear i could spin these old wheels
Just let it go
Runaway
Is it something that you hear
Coming through the waves on the radio
Or something that you see gently taps your memory
And shoots you down
Those hometown thoughts, school yard dreams and yesterdays
Moving in i just put my head down and drift away
And we're moving up and down, in and out of town
We're all searching for that piece of higher ground
Somewhere...
Runaway

2. _ Guitar Street
There's a crazy sense of duty
As he licks between his fingers
Wipes the ketchup from his face and hands
There's a strong determination
That his teachers never witnessed
Never close enough to understand
He's like a bull just bred for fighting
He don't deliver nothing
Outside the only thing that he knows
School report just says he's lazy
His brother says he's crazy
But take a look 'cos there he goes
Through the avenues of fashion
To the palaces of dreams
All the way down guitar street
To some guitars are hot-rods
All along the quest for macho
To others a would-be ticket out of town
For joe a six-string sten gun
In the 'panto-revolution'
And stevie's all just strictly sound
He's like a bull just bred for fighting
He don't deliver nothing
Outside the only thing that he knows
School report just says he's lazy
His brother says he's crazy
But anyway take a look 'cos there he goes
Through the avenues of fashion
To the palaces of dreams
All the way down guitar street

3. _ Loving You
The night was black with thunder
The streets were wet with rain
Another day goes under
A little bourbon will take the strain
And i'm waiting for my take-home french fries
She smiled and said 'take me away'
We always laughed but i think she means it
But i'm dreaming my life away
Loving you
Loving you the way that i do
The weekend cars are leaving
In a spray of wind and sound
The bar-talk, make believing
And the drinks go easy down
It's back to the all-night take-away
She says 'here comes the man of my dreams'
We always laugh but i think she means it
And i'm spending my time
Just loving you
Loving you the way that i do

4. _ If You Choose To Go
There's a street outside my window
There's a light outside my door
There's a road straight through this old town
There's a boat on every shore
There's a promise down that freeway
But there is no guarantee
There are dreams on every ocean
There are storms on every sea
If you choose to go
Now i've been out upon that ocean
Sometimes further that before
Sometimes not even past my waistline
And i screamed at what i saw
Many times along that freeway
Returning sometimes beat
There are dreams on every ocean
There are storms on every sea
If you choose to go
Plenty of places, plenty of things to see
Plenty of faces, plenty of ways to be
If you choose to go

5. _ Do It For Your Love
Each single day i get up and make my way
And it all comes into view
It's like a part in a play
You can turn it around in so many different ways
But it's still the part you play
And so to you i dedicate
This role they have handed me
And i will do it for your love
Down in the street you can win or lose
To that crazy beat
But you'll never change the tune
'cos the tune is the song
And song is the game of life, we just come and go
But we can laugh and we can bend
Together though, me and you
So i will do it for your love
Look around, see that you see
There's no sense in being so blue
Now i've got to have a reason for seeing this out
Other than seeing it through
So i will do it for your love

6. _ Do You Still Dream?
Do you still dream of summer nights
The endless roads between the distant lights
Do you still find yourself
On strange and long highways
Drifting into unknown phase
Do you still dream of summer days
The sunlight dancing on white rolling waves
The everlasting taste of innocent desire
The atom splitting of its fire
Do you still dream?
Do you see that tunnel showing any sign of light
Does fear still wake you in the night
Do you still dream?

7. _ One Sweet Tender Touch
Heartbeat, way down on cove street
Playing to lady luck, awaiting that tender touch
Fantasy is the trick of the dance you see
Hiding that need for love and wanting you close to me
Oh that one sweet and tender touch
That's what i'm missing and need so much
One sweet and tender touch
Bright light
Pretty colours that shine on all through the night
I don't need them, not half as much
As i'm wanting your tender touch
And loneliness makes the strongest heart a wilderness
That's wilder than you see, is wanting you close to me
For that one sweet and tender touch
That's what i'm missing and need so much
One sweet and tender touch

8. _ Goodbye Little Columbus
The plane is waiting, you must to go
'goodbye i'm gonna miss you'
And all the things you say at a leaving
Ah just turn your head and walk away
Goodbye little columbus
Goodbye, i'll see you one day
Goodbye little columbus
Travelling, just travelling
That certain moment, the final call
And that desperate search for 'c'est la vie'
Oh what you'd give to hear of a slight delay
Ah just turn your head and walk away
Walk away, just walk away
Goodbye little columbus
Goodbye, i'll see you one day
Goodbye little columbus
Travelling, just travelling
You've made up your mind
And you've got to go

9. _ Every Beat Of My Heart
The daylight breaks, a picture show of endless takes
And the music's coming through on the radio
And i take my place, reluctantly i join the race
It's not my fight, just trying to stay on my feet
But oh there's one thing that gets to me
It's that little girl she puts me down so easily
In total absurd i'm saying these words
With every beat of my heart, i will love you
With every song, with every breath that you take
I'll give you the moon and the sun, you're the only one
Pleading love with every beat of my heart
With every beat of my heart, i will love you
With every song, with every breath that you take
I'll give you the moon and the sun, you're the only one
Pleading love with every beat of my heart
Pleading love with every beat of my heart

10. _ I Just Wanna Be With You
I just wanna be with you
No matter what they say
Just wanna be with you
Every night and every day
Cold nights, dark days
I wanna be with you
I just wanna be with you
Till the final curtain falls
Just wanna be with you
Then know nothing at all
Cold nights, dark days
I wanna be with you
Wanna be with you
I know there's a price to pay
For doing what we do
But i just wanna be with you
Just wanna be with you
Don't wanna hold you down
Whatever that you do
Shine on, sweet angel
'cos i just wanna be with you
I wanna be with you

11. _ When You Know Your Love Has Died
Me, i'm just running wild
Can't give you the advice you need this time
You say of her, you can't decide
And yet you sit and watch her cry
Friend you're like the wind that blows
Like the sea you come and go
I'm not trying to tell you
How i think that it should be
'cos i know deep down inside
That you're yearning to be free
And you're only gonna think of no 1.
So what am i to say
No matter what you do you're gonna hurt her anyway
When you know that your love has died
And you know how you feel inside
You've got to face up and show
What you're feeling when you know
Your parting words will be so untrue
Just as long as it don't come down on you
And you're scared to lay it on the line
Just in case you change your mind
I'm not trying to tell you
How i think that it should be
'cos i know deep down inside
That you're yearning to be free
And you're only gonna think of no 1.
So what am i to say
No matter what you do you're gonna hurt her anyway
When you know that your love has died
And you know how you feel inside
You've got to face up and show
What you're feeling when you know
