From the 1st album:-

Pale Red

Sometime in late July
A faded kind of day
In a back street kind of town
I had you walk with me

Pale red
Pale red kiss
They're pulling down the flats
Too late to go back, now

I love the way you talk to me
With the heat upon my back
There was nothing going on
But there was nothing going wrong

Pale red
Pale red kiss
They're pulling down the flats
Too late to go back

I shouldn't be with you
I shouldn't be with you

Pale red
Pale red kiss
They're pulling down the flats
Too late to go back



Casually Unkind

I'm in no hurry
To end up in tears
To be burned up in love
By someone like you dear

And there's no real reason
For things to move fast
Just keep your distance
And maybe we'll last

I only want you from time to time
I only fall for you on certain nights
Don't look so hurt, you were never blind
Love is casually unkind

I know the difference
Between cold and cool
Do me a favour
Just don't play the fool

I only want you from time to time
I only fall for you on certain nights
Don't look so hurt, you were never blind
Love is casually unkind

What've you got to say to me
What've you got to say to me

I only want you on certain nights
Don't look so hurt, you were never blind

What've you got to say to me
What've you got to say to me

That love is casually unkind



Hardly Me

I walk with you
Through the dark swing of the night
Past the rich and disenchanted
Dressed up in down-time

I walk with you
Oh, these party lights
And everyone loves someone
In love with someone

It's hardly me
Hardly
Oh Ay
Hardly me

If I could dance with you
Across endless golden floors
How many times in love
Ask for nothing more

It's hardly me
Hardly
Oh Ay
Hardly me

Past the rich and disenchanted
The disenchanted
I walk with you

It's hardly me
Hardly
Oh Ay
It's hardly me
Hardly me

Everything I see
Is hardly me



Fall For Lovers

This heart of mine
Has fallen in love
To be treated unkind
To love without love
Trapped by circumstance
In a world without romance

Fall for lovers
Just don't look back on all the love
That's been in vain
Fall for lovers
I never knew how much
I needed to dance again

Down all the nights
I feel warm and new
Knowing time will erase
What we've been through
We were trapped by circumstance
In a world without romance

Fall for lovers
Just don't look back on all the love
That's been in vain
Fall for lovers
I never knew how much
I needed to dance again

Fall for lovers
Fall for lovers



Sometimes I'm Wild

I'm missing you
Always the same
That it should come to this
Oh this foolishness

Call me sorry
I'm not to blame
Cry for tenderness
Crying with shame

Sometimes I'm wild
Sometimes
I tend to be
Wild sometimes

A view from nowhere
I'm not the same
Cry for tenderness
Cry for shame

Sometimes I'm wild
Sometimes
I tend to be wild sometimes
Oh, Sometimes

Sometimes I'm wild
Oh, lately I'm wild
Oh, lately
I am wild



Crossing Over

Crossing over
Looking sideways
Killing time
Cherished notions
Left alone
I do alright

But I can't trust myself with you,
No

And all the cars tonight
Are on the bridge tonight
Crossing over

Painted skylines
Passing over me
Like a breeze in my hair
A breeze in my hair

And all the cars tonight
Are on the bridge tonight
Crossing over,
Over

I can't trust myself with you,
No
I can't trust myself with you,
No

And all the cars tonight
Are on the bridge tonight
And all the cars
Crossing over

Yeah, Crossing over

Still passing over me



Simple Heart

Quietly you came
Still unsure
Quietly you'll leave
What were you looking for

A Simple Heart
Untouched by love
Too fine for love
A Simple Heart

Wrapped up in heaven
Cover me
I could love you
Care for me

A Simple Heart
Untouched by love
Too fine for love
A Simple Heart

Oh, keep close to me
Oh, if you would just
Keep close to me

A Simple Heart
Untouched by love
Too fine for love
A Simple Heart

Since I'm unsure
This love won't fail
This love won't fail



Completely My Dear

Careless rain
I don't know what to say
I have heard
Heard what you can say

Come here completely my dear
I am set on you
Come here completely my dear
For I am set on you

When I sleep
It's just to get away
From the shadows
Of the things that I can't say

Come here completely my dear
I am set on you
Come here completely my dear
For I am set on you

When I'm wrong
I know I'm wrong
When I'm wrong
I know I'm wrong

Come here completely my dear
I am set on you
Come here completely my dear
For I am set on you

Careless rain
Careless rain



Safe In The Rain

Go to pieces in your arms
Look at the fool love's made of me

Blue sweeping lights
Down closed heart streets
Lost smile, lost nights
Lost heart and a looser beat

Safe in the rain tonight
Nursing the warmth you gave
The memory of love on my lips
I'm safe in the rain

Walking easy by your side
Some bad hearts this time of night
Cover up, keep it to myself
Cover up, keep it all inside

Safe in the rain tonight
Nursing the warmth you gave
The memory of love on my lips
I'm safe in the rain
Safe in the rain tonight

Go to pieces in your arms
Look at the fool love's made of me
And if this love is ever harmed
Tonight's the way to remember me

Safe in the rain tonight
I'm safe in the rain



Stepping Out Slowly

I'm not so certain
So don't be so sure of me
Of your intentions
Of your honesty
Of your honesty

Watching my step
Stepping out slowly
I know your kind
You're seldom lonely
Stepping out slowly

I watch you closely
Hold you so near
Oh this confusion
Seems so dark and clear

Watching my step
Stepping out slowly
I know your kind
You're seldom lonely
Stepping out slowly

If love is slowing down
Going down
I feel myself closing down

Watching my step
Stepping out slowly
I know your kind
You're seldom lonely
Stepping out slowly

I know your kind,
I know your kind




B-sides:-


Crazy And Calm

Crazy and calm
I'm gonna shoot you down
Crazy and calm
Crazy I am

If I could have traced
The drift of your heart
If I could have said
How it started

Crazy and calm
I'm gonna shoot you down
The saddest of lies
From the sweetest of mouths
Crazy
I'll shoot you down
Crazy and calm
Crazy I am

Where did I fail
In your eyes
The source of my tears
Is dried up now

Crazy and calm
I'm gonna shoot you down
The saddest of lies
From the sweetest of mouths
Crazy
I'm gonna shoot you down
Crazy and calm
Crazy I am

Crazy I am



Just Shine

There's glamour tonight
I feel for your mood
Celebrate just once
And say goodbye blues

Oh when it's hot like this
And when the streets are blind

Just shine
I want you to shine
For your sake not mine
Just shine

There's a pale moon out
Like a valentine
It could just fold up
And find you down again

Oh when it's hot like this
And when the streets are blind

Just shine
I want you to shine
For your sake not mine



Perfect Moments

And it's summer on the flats
Crept up like a heart attack
And a breeze came in from the sea
Saying "you could leave so easily - If you wanted to"

I was just chasing a perfect moment
Chasing it
I was just chasing a perfect moment
Chasing it

I have all these rebel thoughts
To shake off all my plans
To walk out in there and escape
If I can - If I wanted to
Walk away from you

I was just chasing a perfect moment
Chasing it
I was just chasing a perfect moment
Chasing it

Restless
I'm only restless
For your time
I'm restless

There's a banner in my
Headline to the day
There's a hard edge to the night
But I won't go away

I was just chasing a perfect moment
Chasing it
I was just chasing a perfect moment
Chasing it

I am chasing
I am restless
I am restless
For your time

I am chasing
For your time
Chasing
Chasing this perfect moment

Oh oh ah
Oh oh ah



Wings Of Desire

My wings of desire
My wings of desire

Why do I still think of you ?
Why do I still hold ?
Why do I still look for you ?
There's no one in anymore

My wings of desire
My wings of desire

How do you know what I feel ?
Don't - don't ask me to explain
No oh - you don't even know my name
Oh oh oh - you don't even know my name

My wings of desire
Oh oh oh my wings of desire
Yeah my wings of desire

Desire
Will I be over you ?
Desire
Desire will I be over you ?

No oh oh
Send my eyes
Send my eyes

My wings of desire
Yeah yeah heh my wings of desire
Heh my wings of desire
Oh darling

Oh uh oh

My wings of desire
Yeah heh heh
My wings of desire
Oh oh oh
My wings of desire
