If you've got a problem, I can make it two
That's something I can do for you
Need a new opinion? I'll get one to you
That's something I can do for you
But if you wanna leave the pace of life behind
If you're reeling all the time
Just go looking for the ones that love you
Just turn around, you may have just found them
If you feel the pressure I can ease it through
That's something I can do for you
If you are a dreamer, I'll bring the world to you
That's something I can do for you
And if you wanna find the one that you must love
Who's appealing all the time?
But if you wanna find the ones who love you
Just turn around, you may have just found them
If resolution, of institutions, means revolution
Well that's something you could do
Or you could scale down
Mountain trail down
Or just drink the ale down
Well that's something you could do
So if you wanna find the one that you must love
Who's appealing all the time?
But if you wanna find the one who loves you
Just turn around, you may have just found them
If you've got a problem, I can make it two
That's something I can do for you
That's something I can do for you
That's something I can do
That's something I can do
That's something I can do for you

Let Me Treat You Right
03:47
|
|||
Good evening my dear and welcome to the Royale
Relax, make yourself at home and have a drink
It's on the house
Just a small token at the door
Check your coat
And get on the floor
I have a final reminder
She has a future behind her
I have a word in her favour
She has a love I can savour
Let me love you
Let me treat you right
Let me love you
Let me treat you right
It's nothing scary or sinister
It's not a job for the minister
It's less a case of a love true
And more a love I can give you
Let me love you
Let me treat you right
Let me love you
Let me treat you right
Let me love you
Let me treat you right
Let me love you
Let me treat you right
You have got to let it move you
There is nothing you must prove
You have got to let it move you
There is nothing you must prove
Let me love you
Let me treat you right
Let me love you
Let me treat you right
Let me love you
Let me treat you right
Let me love you
Let me treat you right
You have got to let it move you
There is nothing you must prove
You have got to let it move you
There is nothing you must prove
Let me love you
Let me treat you right
Let me love you
Let me treat you right
Let me love you
Let me treat you right
Let me love you
Let me treat you right
Take it easy
Take it easy
Just pick up your things as you leave.

Bedhead
03:44
|
|||
Early today
I dreamt of dogs and meadows and
When I awoke
I saw you lying there and
Too soon I arose
Leaving those dogs and meadows and
Leaving you warm
So peacefully lying there and
Outside there was only noise and cloud
And I had no desire to join the crowd
So I turned right around and
Jumped back into my bed
I wasn't surprised
Cos lately I've been drifting and
Losing my will
Not to be sleeping still and
Deep in my dreams
I revel in all absurdities
I wish they were real
So I would know how I really feel
About this old world of noise and cloud
To know how good it feels to join the crowd
But I turn right around and
Jump back into my bed
Deep in my dreams
I revel in all absurdities
I wish they were real
So I would know how I really feel
About this old world of noise and cloud
To know how good it feels to join the crowd
But I turn right around and
Jump back into my bed yeah
Well I turn right around and
Jump back into my head

You got what you need now honey so let me breathe
You got what you need now honey so let me breathe
Living in, or living out
You still throw you're weight about but
You got what you need now honey so let me breathe
You got everything now woman you don't need me
You got everything now woman you don't need me
Pushing in, or pushing out
You still throw your weight about but
You got everything now woman you don't need me
You don't need me
To get on your back
I'm not what you lack
You don't need me
To get on your back
I'm not what you lack
Step out on your own now woman and let me be
Step out on your own now honey and let me be
Living in or living out
You should go but you're too devout so
So step out on your own now woman and let me be
You don't need me
To get on your back
I'm not what you lack
You don't need me
To get on your back
I'm not what you lack

Antipodeans
04:32
|
|||
In this old land of our
From Solsbury Hill to the faded twin towers
We must invest in youth
Antipodeans stand as proof
The southern hemisphere
Has more than just bad soaps and cheap beer
They realise that power
Never peaks in your last hour
Don't want to drag me down
Don't want to drag me down
Don't want to drag me down
Don't want to drag me down
It's such a crazy scene
We're always bragging 'bout what we've been
But it's a lazy age
And we're no longer centre stage
So we must try and learn
We've done some teaching now it's our turn to be taught
So we must try and blend
Young and old
We will never go down
Don't want to drag me down
Don't want to drag me down
Don't want to drag me down
Don't want to drag me down
In this old land of our
From Solsbury Hill to the faded twin towers
We must invest in youth
Antipodeans stand as proof
Don't want to drag me down
Don't want to drag me down
Don't want to drag me down
Don't want to drag me down
You're bringing me down
You're dragging around

Fairest Child
Sweet woman
Can't begin to say how you've turned me life around
Can't begin to say how you're like no other
And heaven knows you're the one
Yeah heaven knows you're the one
Fairest child
Sweet woman
You don't even know all the talents you possess
You're light is like a beam that I follow gladly
And heaven knows you're the one
Yeah heaven knows you're the one
(Yes you're the one)
You're the quiet one we all depend upon
(Yes you're the one)
You're the canvas that we throw our colour on
(Yes you're the one)
You're the one we miss whenever you are gone
Yes you're the one
You're the one

Don't Mind If I Do
04:41
|
|||
If I Like It
If I think it's true
Don't mind If I do
Well It doesn't have to be completely new
I don't mind if I do
No I don't mind
No I don't mind if I do
Every single piece of music comes from somewhere else
And to that you add a little self
Now I can find release in music I write it how I please
I don't care for fashionable decrees
Because
If I Like It
If I think it's true
Don't mind If I do
Well I don't care what style or era too
I don't mind if I do
Now I have always advocated words and melody
Give it drive and give it honesty
Now I know most folks are placated with drivel they are fed
But I have never been so easily led.
Because
If I Like It
If I think it's true
Don't mind If I do
You think it sounds like Beatles, Kinks or Who
Ha don't mind if I do
No I don't mind
No I don't mind
(Don't mind if I do)
I don't mind if it's macho or effete
(Don't mind if I do)
If it moves the soul or if it moves the feet
(Don't mind if I do)
I don't mind the era or the century
(Don't mind if I do)
Just as long as it says something to me
If your should needs liberating
Don't sit there procrastinating
Timidly prevaricating
There's a world of pleasure waiting
If your should needs liberating
Don't sit there procrastinating
Timidly prevaricating
Right this way your tables' waiting
If I Like It
If I think it's true
Don't mind If I do
(No I don't mind)
Doesn't have to be completely new
I don't mind if I do
(No I don't mind)
If I Like It
If I think it's true
Don't mind If I do
(No I don't mind)
I don't care what style or era too
Don't mind if I do
(No I don't mind)
If I Like It
If I think it's true
Don't mind If I do
(No I don't mind)
Doesn't have to be completely new
I don't mind if I do

Wicked Woman
05:33
|
|||
Summer days, living fast
Some things are worth saving
Given all that you know
You must have been raving
And I have heard that at a pass
Some things are worth keeping
Anyway what I know
Is not worth repeating
A hoo hoo
You're such a wicked woman
A hoo hoo
Ah you've got pleasure on the brain
A hoo hoo
Ah what a wicked woman
Let me tell you what you want to hear
You don't have to try
I can tell you what you want to hear
You don't have to
You don't have to try
You don't have to try
A little joy, and a lot of hope
Ain't making me wiser
If you measure love by the pound
You're some kind of miser
So push it in, and pull it out
And play when it suits you
I make scream, but I won't shout
And I won't pull your roots through
A hoo hoo
You're such a wicked woman
A hoo hoo
Why you've got pleasure on the brain
A hoo hoo
Ah what a crazy woman
Let me tell you what you want to hear
You don't have to try
I can tell you what you need to hear
You don't have to
You don't have to try
You wanna know what you are? Ha?
You wanna know what you are?
I'll tell ya
Well you're a thrill seeker
Yeah you're a thrill seeker
Ah such a thrill seeker
Well such a thrill seeker
Well you're a thrill seeker
Yeah you're a thrill seeker
Well such a thrill seeker
A hoo hoo
Ah you're a wicked woman
A hoo hoo
Why you've got pleasure on the brain
A hoo hoo
Ah
Let me tell you what you need to hear
You don't have to try
I can tell you what you want to hear
You don't have to
You don't have to
I can tell you what you want to hear
You don't have to try
I can tell you what you have to hear
You don't have to
You don't have to try
You don't have to try

Innocence
04:20
|
|||
Many years of finality
Have departed
Since the day I left
Innocence was a casualty
That hung it's head
Like a child bereft
The greatest losses were then commonplace
All the small things that you cannot replace
Incidental memoirs
Of a forgotten place
Wars were fough
Under foreign skies
In someone else's fantasy
But time we know has a tendency
To support our new
Reality
And the springtime still puts leaves on the trees
And our spirit cools the warm summer breeze
As we do as we please
As we do as we please
So we try to make better now
All the things we
misunderstood before
And innocence tries to creep back in
Through the broken shards
Of a shattered door
Innocence tries to creep back in
Through the broken shards
Of a shattered door
Innocence tries to creep back in
Through the broken shards
Of a shattered door

Keep On Rollin'
03:20
|
|||
Got to keep rollin' now
Though you've given all you've got to give
Got to keep rollin' now
Though you may not have the will to live
Got to keep rollin' friend
Till the battle of the day is won
Cause if things are going slow
Well the one thing that you know is that
You got to keep rollin' on
Got to keep rollin' now
Though you're better is impaired
Got to keep rollin' dude
Though you're showing too much underwear
Got to keep rollin' child
Though your dreams aren't even in your head
Cause if you're not rollin' yet well its a solid gold bet
That you won't be rollin' when you dead
Now time's creeping up you
Regardless of what you've begun
And the only thing that you can do
Is to keep on rollin'
And to have a lotta fun a well
Got to keep rollin' now
There's really nothing you can lose
Got to keep rollin' friend
Though it helps to have a little snooze
Got to keep rollin' now
And grinning when it all goes wrong
Well it's been going on o long
But the message of my song is that
You got to keep rollin' on
Now time's creeping up you
Regardless of what you've begun
And the only thing that you can do
Is to keep on rollin'
And to have a lotta fun a well
Got to keep rollin' now
There's really nothing you can lose
Got to keep rollin' friend
Though it helps to have a little booze
Got to keep rollin' now
And grinning when it all goes wrong
Well it's been going on too long
But the message of my song is that
You got to keep rollin' on my friend
You got to keep rollin' on I said
You got to keep rollin' on

I want you to tell me why
Why you cry
Oh honey child
There is to much at stake between us
Won't you try
Oh honey child
And the last thing I need now
Is to lose you
So I want you to tell me why
Why you cry
Oh honey child
Now we all have urgent needs
On our mind
Oh honey child
But there's so much joy in living
And you should know
I know you do
And the last thing we need now
Is to hide our feelings
So I want you to ease your mind
Clear your mind
Oh honey child
Oh honey child
Please realise you have power
Yeah and you must learn how to use it
And I understand
Why you're feeling down
But your strength comes from positivity
Let me show you the way
Let me show you the way
Yeah
Now I know you will hear my words
And know they're true
Oh honey child
And I know you'll rise right up now
You always do
Oh honey child
And the last thing we need now is to hide our feelings
And I know I can make you smile
Make you laugh
Oh honey child
Oh honey child
Oh honey child
Oh honey child
Oh honey child
Oh honey child
Oh honey child
Oh honey child
Oh honey child
That's right honey child
