Fraction Too Much Friction
Staring At The Embers
Through The Years
Not For Nothing
In A Minor Key
Made My day
Wait And See
Below The Belt
I Only Want To Know
Growing Pains
There's a fraction too much friction. There's a fraction too much friction. There's a fraction too much friction. There's a fraction too much friction. Take a typical man put him, With a typical woman then, Sit back and watch everthing slide. It's a perfectly natural Expression of Ill will but, When will Hostilities subside? There's a fraction too much friction. There's a fraction too much friction. Don't believe in opposing factions, What we need is some positive action, There's a fraction too much friction. It's a very old problem that, Goes back to the dark ages, The wages of original sin. Lets make it a better world, Let's shake it up boys and girls, It's never too late to begin. There's a fraction too much friction. There's a fraction too much friction. Men and woman need each other, Should be like sister and brother, There's a fraction too much friction. Looking for the man who will love his woman, Looking for the woman who will love her man. I swallowed my pride for you, My personal high's bore you, You're too wrapped up in your own world. I'm not a man for nothing, I gotta become someone, Inside this oyster there's a pearl. There's a fraction too much friction. There's a fraction too much friction. Holding on to the bygone era, Everybody shout cos we're getting nearer, There's a fraction too much friction. What we need is some positive action, What we need is some positive thought.
[Chorus] Staring at the embers, Of my memory. Trying to remember, Just what you meant to me. Now and then I'm falling, Alligators crawling, Staring at the embers. Sit right down, before the fire, My bridges are all burning, A lady told me she was a liar, In love at least I'm learning. Staring at the embers, Of my memory, Staring at the embers, Thay're all that's left to me, Don't know where I'm going, There's no way of knowing, Staring at the embers. [Chorus] The flame as gone, You put it out, Without a word of warning, The pleasure palace, Goes up in smoke, But this fool goes on yearning. Staring at the embers, Of my memory. Fireplace surrender, Please give her back to me. Now and then I'm falling, Alligators crawling, Staring at the embers. Staring at the embers, Of my memory, Staring at the embers, Thay're all that's left to me, Now and then I'm falling, Alligators crawling, Staring at the embers. Staring at the embers. You call out, Staring at the embers. Staring at the embers. You call out, Staring at the embers. Staring at the embers. You call out, Staring at the embers.
I met a girl who wasn't quite right, She wandered all alone in the night. She understand the past, present and the future. She takes me back to where I was then, She leads me on again and again, I'm happy now and I owe everything to her. And she was calling me back through the years, Leading me on through the years, Calling me back through the years. I want to be oblivious, To all the things that worry us, I want to learn the secrets of the universe. And she was calling me back through the years, Leading me on through the years, Calling me back through the years. And she was calling me back through the years, Leading me on through the years, Calling me back through the years. I'm never gonna find the answer, It's never gonna be, Excatly what I hoped it was, But it's good enough for me. I never know just when she'll come, But when she does, to her I'll run, For she's the key to everything I ever hoped for. And she was calling me back through the years, Leading me on through the years, Calling me back through the years. And she was calling me back through the years, Leading me on through the years, Calling me back through the years. I love a girl, she's calling me. I love a girl, she's calling me.
I was ready for you, I'll never know how to thank you, Everything that you do, Is setting me free. All the wisdom in the world, Couldn't penetrate or ring true, If not for my little girl. It's not for nothing that I. I was waiting for you, Behind a high wall of poses, Now I look at life through, Your innocent eyes. Teach me how to be a child, You can slip through my defences, Inhibition running wild, Mass confusion in my senses. Nearer, I really mean sincere, Open your heart to me, I just wanted to let you know, That I want to be nearer. Let's make a start together, I couldn't let you go, I just wanted to let you know, The nearer you are, The clearer I see, The clearer I see, The nearer you are, The nearer you are, The happier I will be. I was ready for you, I'll never know how to thank you, Everything that you do, Is setting me free. All the wisdom in the world, Couldn't penetrate or ring true, If not for my little girl. It's not for nothing that I, It's not for nothing that I, Love you, Love you, It's not for nothing that I, Love you, It's not for nothing that I, Want you, It's not for nothing that I, Need you. It's not for nothing Love you.
I'm living in a minor key, A melancholy mystery, A quiet place where you and me, Can be quite still. Piano plays a minor chord, And I'm reminded of the day, When love game me her rich rewards, Then took away my major woes, I stumbled on such sweet repose, In a minor key. When two weary hearts, Enter wide open spaces, It's enough for a while just to smile, But should love endure, Then the smiles on their faces, Turn to bitter tears, Back to tears of joy. I'm living in a minor key, A bitter-sweet tranquility, A place where nothing touches me, Nor ever will. A sad familiar melody, Comes singing through the room to me, Whenever I am by your side, I'll take a ride down memory lane, And face the truth I'm back again, In a minor key. Rain falls on the roof, As we lie here together, Laughing at the jokes, Only you and I will ever understand, Linger for a while, In the pool of emotion, Let the water rise, Take your time and see, You'll find it in a minor key. I'm living in a minor key, A melancholy mystery, A quiet place where you and me, Can be quite still. Piano plays a minor chord, And I'm reminded of the day, When love game me her rich rewards, Then took away my major woes, I stumbled on such sweet repose.
Up here in my lonely room, Holding on forever and a day, I guess it was serious, Under heavy weather. Holding a lover you can't help feeling Life is a bottle of vintage wine, All of a sudden you came along and made my day, You made my day, Came along and made my day, You made my day. It's one of my golden rules, Never ley your guard down for too long, But you were nobody's fool, Made me see how wrong I was, Holding you close in an open embrase, I realise there's nothing to lose, All of a sudden you came along and made my day, You made my day, Came along and made my day, You made my day. You came along in the winter time, Wrapped me up in your warm sunshine, And i'm feeling fine. Not meaning to sound absurd, But the murder of all that was me, Is done and I'm glad of it, Let the guilty go free, Holding a lover you can't help feeling Life is a bottle of vintage wine, All of a sudden you came along and made my day, You made my day, Came along and made my day, You made my day.
Patience is a virtue, Possess it if you can, You gotta wait and see, Seldom in a woman, Never in a man, You gotta wait and see. I wasn't meant to be alone, It's not the only way to be, When will her love invade my home, well we'll just have to wait and see, Jumping to conclusions will Leave you high and dry, You gotta wait and see. Her voice was magic on the phone, It promised everything to me, I want to have you for my own, But we'll just have to wait and see. Ordinary people, Leading ordinary lives, Can organise their feelings Why can't I? Patience is a virtue, Possess it if you can, You gotta wait and see, Seldom in a woman, Never in a man, You gotta wait and see. You gotta wait and see, you gotta wait and see. You gotta wait and see. You gotta wait and see.
Paloma, You took unfair advantage, Of my emotional insecurity. I was a lonely country bumpkin, And a bumpkin to a lady of notoriety. I said please wait until tomorrow, And I will be a man of substance then, But you laughed and left me feeling hollow. You wrote me a blank cheque with your poison pen. I never did like westerns, I'm reeling from the blow you dealt, Below the belt. And I really felt it, Below the belt. Well I hope you're satisfied, Watching me break down and cry. Below the belt. Lately I fumble and I falter, You've altered my outlook on the world it seems, I'm punch drunk, You're such a dirty fighter, You tried to massacre my schoolboy dreams. I never did like bullies, I'm reeling from the blow you dealt, Below the belt. And I really felt it, Below the belt. Well I hope you're satisfied, Watching me break down and cry. Below the belt, below the belt, And I really felt it, Below the belt. Was below the belt, Below the belt, below the belt. Below the belt, below the belt. And I really felt it, Below the belt. Below the belt.
I only want to know, Which way am I to go? I only want to see, What's the right path for me? What am I here for, If not to love you, And let my feelings show. I only want to know. Black hair green eyes, Are one and the same to me, I dont think twice, They wont ever let me be. Its all beyond me, Are you sure you want me, Or do I have to do? I only want to know, Which way am I to go, I only want to see, What's the right path for me. I only want to ask for the last time, What's it gonna be? I only want to know, Which way am I to go? I only want to see, What's the right path for me? I only want to know, I'm going back to where I went wrong with you. I kissed goodbye to the best thing I ever knew, It's all beyond, Are you sure you want me to go? I only want to know, Which way am I to go? I only want to see, What's the right path for me? I only want to know, I only want to know, I only want to see, I only want to see, I only want to know, only wanna know, only wanna know, only wanna know. I only want to see, I only want to see, I only want to know, I only want to know, I only want to see, I only want to see, [fade]
Growing pains, growing pains, always in a hurry, It remains to be seen if its worth the worry, Growing pains, growing pains, always in a hurry. And I won't regret it for a single moment, The hours I spend investigating, A way of living with no misgiving. Growing pains, growing pains, always in a hurry, It remains to be seen if its worth the worry, Growing pains, growing pains, always in a hurry. And I tumble onwards, And stumble sideways. When you least expect it, There's a major breakthrough, No way of knowing, If you're coming or going. Growing pains, growing pains, always in a hurry, It remains to be seen if its worth the worry, Growing pains, growing pains, always in a hurry. Growing pains leave no trace, They're peculiar to the human race. Growing pains leave no trace, They're peculiar to the human race. Growing pains, growing pains, always in a hurry, It remains to be seen if its worth the worry, Growing pains, growing pains, always in the middle, You dont want to complain or play seocond fiddle, Growing pains, growing pains, always in a hurry.
