THE PIER
I can see you…
Moving along the pier.
Funny –
Strangers feel so dear to me.
Sleep steps up won’t step aside,
I won’t sleep tonight.
I can feel you…
Moving along the pier.
Funny –
Strangers feel so dear to me.
Sleep steps up won’t step aside,
I won’t sleep tonight.
Sleep steps up won’t step aside,
I won’t sleep…
Sleep steps up won’t step aside,
I won’t sleep…
Sleep steps up won’t step aside,
I won’t sleep…
Sleep steps up won’t step aside,
I won’t sleep…
Sleep steps up won’t step aside,
I won’t sleep…
Sleep steps up won’t step aside,
I won’t sleep…
Sleep steps up won’t step aside,
I won’t sleep…
Sleep steps up won’t step aside,
I won’t sleep…
I can feel you…
I can feel you.
I can feel you.
I can feel you.
I can feel you.
I can breathe you.

A MATTER OF TIME
I left that God-forgotten place
First week of December.
Grey sea grey sky grey grey grey
That was all I could remember.
On the train sat next to me
There was a small old man from Ireland.
We laughed and joked and talked about life,
The universe and everything.
Matter of time.
Matter of time.
Matter of time.
Matter of time.
The Wheel of Fortune left me
Down and out of love and crying.
You appeared on my horizon
Guns and colours flying.
Heaven help me here we go again
I know the feeling.
Heaven help me here we go again
I know the feeling.
Matter of time.
Matter of time.
Matter of time.
Matter of time.
Heaven help me
Here we go…
I know the feeling.
Heaven help me
Here we go…
I know the feeling.
Heaven help me
Here we go…
I know the feeling.
Heaven help me ONLY A [MATTER OF] TIME
Here we go…
I know the feeling.
Heaven help me Here we go…

KILLER BLOW
The party faded when you dealt that killer blow.
Don’t tell me you didn’t realise look around and see it show.
You know I can’t live alone, you know this to be true.
I carved the fact on your heart of stone, I was born in love with you.
So tell me darling.
What are we going to do?
We can’t go on pretending…
Every time it rains it rains forever
Grass is always greener on the left.
When I want the rain to fall the sun shines, when I want to lose I’m still the best.
You know six or seven years ago I’d have laughed aloud at the thought,
That a lady could mean that much to me I’d have joked, “I’m not the sort”.
The party faded when you dealt that killer blow.
The lights went out as I tried to shout then you said you had to go.
Bullets, bombs and countries falling could not make a sound,
At least compared to that “friendly” word on the night I nearly drowned.
So tell me darling.
What are we going to do?
We can’t go on pretending…
Every time it rains it rains forever
Grass is always greener on the left.
When I want the rain to fall the sun shines, when I want to lose I’m still the best.
You know six or seven years ago I’d have laughed aloud at the thought,
That a lady could mean that much to me I’d have joked, “I’m not the sort”.
Rains… Rains…Rains…Rains…Rains…Rains…Rains… Rains…Rains…Rains…Rains…Rains…Rains…Rains… Rains…Rains…
It rains and rains and rains and rains
It rains and rains and rains and rains
It rains and rains and rains and rains
And rains……

REBECCA, WEST
When Rebecca walked out and left me
Lying face down in the sand,
Seven years went by and of Rebecca
I never heard sight or sound.
Then one day I got a call
From a man I seldom see.
Said there’s a girl Rebecca here
And she wants to talk to me.
You got to go west from here
You might as well walk along the railroad
You got to go west from here
You might as well walk along the railroad
You got to go west from here
You might as well walk along the railroad
You got to go west from here
You might as well walk along the railroad
Stopped en route at a highway shelter
That looked like Bates Motel.
The woman sat behind the desk was a vision
She was from Hell.
She rolled her eyes at me, so I rolled them back
And said “How ya doin’? ”
Quietly, so quietly
I took the room.
You got to go west from here
You might as well walk along the railroad
You got to go west from here
You might as well walk along the railroad
You got to go west from here
You might as well walk along the railroad
You got to go west from here
You might as well walk along the railroad
And then the lady told me.
The way I had to go.
She said “Young man, you’re crazy…
But if you really want to know…
You got to go west from here
You might as well walk along the railroad
You got to go west from here
You might as well walk along the railroad

STORYVILLE
I can’t think what happened on the train today.
I nearly ended up in Storyville.
I seem so preoccupied of late.
Like a crazy, absent-minded fool.
I was told at work by a friend of mine.
“Come on Jon wake up, you’re in the firing line”.
Well I know it’s wrong but I just don’t care
‘Cos it’s a lousy job and the pay’s not fair.
And another thing…
You know I’m days behind.
But I have you so I don’t mind.
Happens when I’m dreaming
Only when I’m dreaming
When seeing is believing
Only when I’m thinking of you.

I CAN’T THINK
Can’t think of anything
Can’t think of anything
Can’t think of anything
Can’t think of anything
Can’t think of anything
Can’t think of anything
Can’t think of anything

Can’t think of anything else I’ve got to give
Can’t think of anything else I’ve got to give
Can’t think of anything else I’ve got to give
Can’t think of anything else I’ve got to give
Can’t think of anything else I’ve got to give
Can’t think of anything else I’ve got to give
Can’t think of anything else I’ve got to give

Can’t think of anything else I’ve got to give
Can’t think of anything else I’ve got to give
Can’t think of anything else I’ve got to give
Can’t think of anything else I’ve got to give
