1.All Of My Heart

Once upon a time when we were friends
I gave you my heart. the story ends
No happy ever after, now were friends

Wish upon a star if that might help
The stars collide if you decide
Wish upon a star if that might help

What's it like to have loved and to lose her touch?
What's it like to have loved and to lose that much?

Well i hope and i pray
That maybe someday
You'll walk in the room with my heart
Add and subtract
But as a matter of fact
Now that you're gone i still want you back
Remembering
Surrendering
Remembering that part
All of my heart

Spilling up pink silk and coffee lace
You hook me up, i rendevouz at your place
Your lipstick and your lip gloss seals my fate

Sentimental powers might help you now
But skip the hearts and flowers, skip the ivory towers
You'll be disappointed and i'll lose a friend

No i won't be told there's a crock of gold
At the end of the rainbow
Or that pleasure and pain, sunshine and rain
Might make this love grow

But i hope and i pray
That maybe someday
You'll walk in the room with my heart
Add and subtract
But as a matter of fact
Now that you're gone i still want you back
Remembering
Surrendering
The kindest cut's the cruellest part
All of my heart

Yes i hope and i pray
That maybe someday
You'll walk in the room with my heart
And i shrug and i say
That maybe today
You'll come home soon
Surrendering
Remembering
Surrendering that part-all of my heart

All of my heart


2.Be Near Me

The message is perfectly simple
The meaning is clear
Don't ever stray too far
And don't disappear
No don't disappear

Ever had that feeling
Almost broke in two
Said that you were leaving
Like you do you do

All my dreams came true last night
All my hopes and fears
All my dreams came true once more
In tears in tears
Be near me, be near
Be near me, be near
Be near

Never had that feeling
Until i first met you
Never felt like kneeling
Now i do, yes i do (yes i do)

All my dreams came true last night
All my hopes and fears
All my dreams came true once more
In tears in tears
Be near me, be near
Be near me, be near
Be near

Ooh be near me, be near, be near

The message is perfectly simple
The meaning is clear
Don't ever stray too far
And don't disappear
No don't disappear

Be near me, be near
Be near me, be near
Be near me, be near
Be near me, be near

What's your reputation? (ecstasy)
What's your destination? (next to me)
Be near me
What's your reputation? (ecstasy)
What's your destination? (next to me)
What's your reputation? (ecstasy)
What's your destination? (next to me)
What's your reputation?


3.How To Be A Millionaire

I've seen the future, i can't afford it
Tell me the truth sir, someone just bought it
Say mr. whispers! here come the click of dice
Roulette and blackjacks - gonna build us a paradise
Larger than life and twice as ugly
If we have to live there, you'll have to drug me

Maybe these luxuries can only compensate
For all the cards you were dealt at the hands of fate
So tell me
Tell me! tell me! how to be a millionaire
Tell me! tell me! how to be a millionaire!

Millionaire! billionaire! trillionaire!

Hardly surprising if you might consider
Loyalties go to the highest of bidders
What's my opinion? i'd give you ten to one
Give me a million, a franchise on fun
But there are millions who often get nowhere
And there's just one secret i think you should share

Maybe these luxuries can only compensate
For all the cards you were dealt at the hands of fate
So tell me
Tell me! tell me! how to be a millionaire
Tell me! tell me! how to be a millionaire!

Who wants to be millionaire?
I do! - i don't! - i do!
Who wants to be millionaire?
I do! - i don't!

I've seen the future and i can't afford it


4.One Better World

Politicians preaching -on tv
Saying nothing but -vote for me
Everybody, everywhere
We got a love, got a love
Got a love we gotta share...

One better world
One better world
One better, better, better world

Papers feeding -lies each day
Are you believing -what they say?
Pulpit preachers -selling god
Making big bucks -is that enough?

Everybody, everywhere
We got a love, got a love
Got a love we gotta share...

One better world
One better world
One better, better, better world

Someway - somehow - some place - somewhere
Let the lion lie down with the lamb
Someway - somehow - some place - somewhere
Don't use the colour of his skin to judge the man
Someway - somehow - some place - somewhere
Does it matter if you're gay or if you're straight?

Someway - somehow - some place - somewhere
If it does you fill this world with hate

Underneath a flag
Love is just a name
But underneath the moon
We are all the same

Every boy, every girl

Everybody, everywhere
We got a love, got a love
Got a love we gotta share...

One better world
One better world
One better, better, better world


5.Poison Arrow

If i were to say to you
'can you keep a secret?'
Would you know just what to do
Or where to keep it?
Then i say'i love you'
And foul the situation
'hey girl i thought we were
The right combination'.

Who broke my heart?
You did, you did
Bow to the target,
Blame cupid, cupid
You think you're smart
Stupid, stupid.

_ chorus:

Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow
Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow

No rhythm in cymbals
No tempo in drums
Love on arrival
She comes when she comes
Right on the target
But wide of the mark
What i thought was fire
Was only the spark
The sweetest melody
Is an unheard refrain
So lower your sights,
Yeah but raise your aim
Raise your aim

Who broke my heart?
You did, you did
Bow to the target
Blame cupid, cupid
You think you're smart
Stupid, stupid

_ chorus

I thought you loved me but it seems you don't care
I care enough to know i can never love you

Who broke my heart
You did, you did
Bow to the target
Blame cupid
You think you're smart
That's stupid
Right from the start
When you knew we would part

_ chorus to end


6.Rolling Sevens

I was tired of letting her
Taking me for what she could get
Smoking me down
Like her last cigarette

See, luck's a dime in dozen
In a thousand different places
Every country cousin's
Holding five sweet aces
All of a sudden
Love shines down on me

* kissing you
Is like the angels kissing heaven
When i roll those dice
I swear i'm rolling sevens
I'll do whatever you want
Whatever you say
Everything's going our way

Poets and philosophers
Can say what they like
But they've never been to your place
After the clock strikes midnight

Zooming in on you
Brought me into focus
All the wild cards
Start turning into jokers
All of a sudden
Love rains down on me

(* repeat 2 times)

Oh yeah, going our way
Rolling sevens, rolling sevens
Everything's going our way


7.Show Me

Once i needed your love
But that was just one thing left on my mind
Then i needed to feel you near me
You said:'don't have the time.'

The cowboys at the rodeo
The rhine-stones on that romeo
Your theme tune on the radio
Souvenirs that only go to

_ chorus:

Show me, show me
Show me that your mine
Show me, show me
Give me just one sign
Show me, show me
Second that emotion
Show me, show me love

Since we're skimming the surface darling
Now's time to get in deep
You've opened up the envelope
But there's still one secret you keep

A pirate station or the late night show
A sunken ship with a rich cargo
Buried treasure that the four winds blow
Wind and rain it only goes to

_ chorus

Some things are hidden
Some things you'll see
Make me know
Signal to me

Nine out of ten, in every case
She might look pretty but there's make up on her face

Show me, show me love
And you can be free
And you could be free. free. free.

Where are the diamonds?
Where are the curls?
Where are the things that you took from this world?

These are the diamonds
These are the curls
These are the things that you took from this world


8.Skyscraping

It's four o'clock
And the bells are ringing
The sun is in the sky
I hear the song
That the breeze is bringing
I smile and close my eyes

Slowly drifting
Deeper and deeper inside
I hear your voice
Whispering softly
We're leaving the world outside

* just hold my hand
And we'll go skyscraping
So high you and i
If your mama asks you
Say we're just escaping
We're gonna be sky high

Time flies
But i don't know where it's going
You vanish in the haze
Sometimes i wish that life
Could be everlasting
These are our polaroid days

Slowly melting
The sun slips from the sky
I see your face
But it's fading quickly
We're leaving the world behind

(* repeat 3 times)

We're gonna be sky high
You and me, so high
It's gonna be all right


9.Stranger Things

I would walk away from you
If that's what you wanted
But when you look for something new
You can be so disappointed

* it's funny how it used to be
Me for you and you for me
I wish i knew why people change
Suddenly

** will we ever be the same again
Stranger things have happened
Will we ever feel this way again
Whatever will be will be

We were learning to be human
But it doesn't take a degree
To know that what you're looking for
Is not always what you see

(* repeat)
(** repeat two times)

Eternally

Sha la, sha la la
Sha la, sha la la
Sha la, sha la la


10.Tears Are Not Enough

Tears for souvenirs
Tears are not enough
Tears for shields and spears
Tears are not enough

Searching for certainty
When it's such an unstable world
Searching for something good
And i'm looking for the real mccoy
Blueprint: that says that boy meets girl
Picture: girl meets boy
A blueprint that says that the boy meets the girl
Picture in a magazine


11.The Look Of Love

When your world is full of strange arrangements
And gravity won't pull you through
You know you're missing out on something
Well that something depends on you
All i'm saying, it takes a lot to love you
All i'm doing, you know it's true
All i mean now, there's one thing
Yes one thing that turns this grey sky to blue

That's the look, that's the look
The look of love

When your girl has left you out on the pavement (goodbye)
Then your dreams fall apart at the seams
Your reason for living's your reason for leaving
Don't ask me what it means

Who's got the look? i don't know the answer to that question
Where's the look? if i knew i would tell you
What's the look? look for your information
Yes there's one thing, the one thing that still holds true
(what's that?)

That's the look, that's the look
The look of love

If you judge a book by the cover,
Then you'd judge the look by the lover
I hope you'll soon recover,
Me i go from one extreme to another

And though my friends just might ask me
They say 'martin maybe one day you'll find true love'
I say 'maybe, there must be a solution
To the one thing, the one thing, we can't find'

That's the look, that's the look
The look of love
That's the look, that's the look
The look of love

That's the look, that's the look
Sisters and brothers
Should help each other
Oh, oh, oh
Heavens above
That's the look, that's the look, hip hip hooray, ay
That's the look, that's the look, yippee ai yippee aiay
That's the look, that's the look
Be lucky in love
Look of love


12.When Smokey Sings

Debonair lullabies in melodies revealed
In deep despair on lonely nights
He knows just how you feel
The slyest rhymes - the sharpest suits
In miracles made real

Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night
You know you're right just to hold her tight
He soothes it right - makes it outtasite
And everything's good in the world tonight!

When smokey sings - i hear violins
When smokey sings - i forget everything
As she's packing her things
As she's spreading her wings
The front door might slam
But the back door it rings
And smokey sings...he sings

Elegance in eloquence - for sale or rent or hire
Should i say - yes i match his best
Then i would be a liar
Symphonies that soothe the rage
When lovers hearts catch fire

Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night
You know you're right just to hold her tight
He soothes it right - makes it outtasite
And everything's good in the world tonight!

When smokey sings - i hear violins
When smokey sings - i forget everything
As she's packing her things
As she's spreading her wings
Smashing the hell
With the heaven she brings
Then smokey sings...he sings

Luther croons
Sly's the original - originator
James screams
Marvin was the only innovator
But nothing can compare
Nothing can compare
When smokey sings

When smokey sings - i hear violins
When smokey sings - i forget everything
As she's packing her things
As she's spreading her wings
She threw back the ring
When smokey sings...
Smokey sings...
Smokey sings...


13.Who Can I Turn To?

If only i could stand
On my own two feet
Oh honey, then i'd know
Life could be so sweet

Someone to drive
Someone to blame
Someone to rush through my veins
Someone to wash it all away

* who can i turn to now
If not you, tell me
Who can i turn to
If not you

If i could get
What i want for free
Then i wouldn't have to borrow
Take a tranquilliser
From your limousine driver
Before we crash into tomorrow

Someone to love
Someone to hold me
Someone so courageous
Someone to drag me in from the cold

(* repeat 3 times)

Who can i turn to (tell me who)
Who's gonna be there (if not you)
Tell me who (tell me)
Tell me who (tell me)
Tell me who
Tell me who can i turn to
(if not you)
Ooh (tell me who)
You've got to, you've got to
Tell me who
