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
