1.I Don't Want a Lover

Lyrics:Mcelhone/Spiteri
Music:Mcelhone/Spiteri

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend

You can't just leave me
To face life on my own
I know you don't love me no more
I knew this day it would come
Even when it cuts so deep
It's true I still want you
But the harder I try
The more I seem to lose

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love

It's always a different story
When it's me who's in the wrong
But you can't have it all
Cause I'm the one who's strong
I've already been burnt before
Once but never again
I know the time will come
That's when you need me then

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love

I don't want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you never cared
Now that I know it wasn't love

You don't even care
About what I'm saying
You don't even think
What you're doing
All you see is what you want it to be
But in there there's just no room for me

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love

You don't even care
About what I'm saying
You don't even think
What you're doing
All you see is what you want it to be
But in there there's just no room for me

I don't want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you never cared
Now that I know it wasn't love

I don't want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you never cared
Now that I know it wasn't love


2.In Demand

When we were together I was blown away
Just like paper from a fan
But you would act like I was just a kid
Like we were never gonna last

Now I've got someone who cares for me
He wrote my name in silver sands
I think you know you've lost the love of your life
(and you said) I was the best you've ever had

Because I'm in demand
You're thinking of the way you shoulda held my hand
And all the times you said you didn't understand
You never had our love written in your plans
But now I'm in demand

Don't ever think you saw the best in me
There's a side you'll never know
Cos love and loving are too different things
Set your sites far too low

Now I've got someone who cares for me
He wrote my name in silver sands
I think you know you've lost the love of your life
(and you said) I was the best you've ever had

Because I'm in demand
You're thinking of the way you shoulda held my hand
And all the times you said you didn't understand
You never had our love written in your plans
But now I'm in demand

You're thinking of the way you shoulda held my hand
And all the times you said you didn't understand
You never had our love written in your plans
But now I'm in demand

It's only when I fall asleep
I see that winning smile
When my dreams just move along
You've lost the race by miles

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
(never had our love written in your plans)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Because I'm in demand
You're thinking of the way you shoulda held my hand
And all the times you said you didn't understand
You never had our love written in your plans
But now I'm in demand

You know I'm in demand
You see I'm in demand
You know I'm in demand
You know I'm in demand
You never had our love written in your plans

You know I'm in demand
You see I'm in demand
You need me in demand
You want me in demand


3.Say What You Want

Lyrics:Mcelhone/Spiteri
Music:Mcelhone/Spiteri

Twenty seconds on the back time
I feel you're on the run
Never lived too long to make right
I see you're doing fine

refrain I :
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer slide
I can no longer run
Ah no no
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer hide
For it's no longer fun
Ah no no

Refrain II:
Well, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I'll feel the same
About you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same
About you

What I am is what you want of me
Yeh, now that I'm not there
I took the tables away from you
It's turned that I don't care

Refrain I

I've said goodnight
Try to sleep tight
Ah just dream of me
Go close your eyes
Cause I've closed mine
The sun will shine from time to time
Oh, when you dream of me, yeh

refrain II


4.Summer Son

Written:Mcelhone/Spiteri/Campbell/Hodgens

I'm tired of telling the story
Tired of telling it your way

I know that I found the floor

Before you take my heart, reconsider
Before you take my heart, reconsider
I've opened the door
I've opened the door

refrain II
Here comes the summer's son
He burns my skin
I ache again
I'm over you

I thought I had a dream to hold
Maybe that has gone
Your hands reach out and touch me still
But this feels so wrong

refrain I
refrain II

Here comes the winter's rain
To cleanse my skin
I wake again
I'm over you

refrain I

Here comes the winter's rain
To cleanse my skin
I wake again
I'm over you

I'm over you

Now will you
Escape away too

Sometimes you make me feel so high
There's times I ask myself why

Sometimes I need to be alone
There's times


6.So In Love With You

Lyrics:Mcelhone/Spiteri
Music:Mcelhone/Spiteri

I'm so in love with you
Whether it is right or it's wrong
I'm too weak to be strong
I'm so in love with you
Well you say you need something
To help you when you're down, to take your fears away
Yeh you say you'd do anything
To keep your feet off the ground
And help you on your way
You're all I need
Yeh you are all that I need
I'm so in love with you
I'm so in love with you
Whether it is right or it's wrong
I'm too weak to be strong
I'm so in love with you
When you see your reflection
You say it isn't you
Then you turn the other way
And I'm watching you suffer
Yourself and your pain
Please don't fade away


7.Black Eyed Boy

Written:Mcelhone/Spiteri/Campbell/Hynd/Hodgens

No I don't lack ambition
Can't you see what I hate
That it's you who is sicking
Locked behind iron gates

You should know
You're falling into fiction
I can tell
You're on some foolish mission

Refrain: You're black eyed soul
You should know
That there's nowhere else to go
My black eyed boy
You will find
Your own space and time

You call me superstitious
Tie me up with your deceit
I could never be malicious
Though I seem so bittersweet

You should know
You're falling into fiction
I can tell
You're on some foolish mission

refrain

Black eyed soul
You should know
That there's nowhere else to go
My black eyed boy
You will find
Your own space and ?Time

Yeh, you should know
You're falling into fiction
I can tell
You're on some foolish mission

refrain

Black eyed soul
You should know
That there's nowhere else to go
My black eyed boy
You will find
Your own space and time


8.So Called Friend

Lyrics:Mcelhone/Spiteri
Music:Mcelhone/Spiteri

Yeh I'm gonna make you wonder if you're my friend
Yeh I'm gonna make you wonder if you're my friend
Yeh that's the way I choose them, all my friends
Do you think you're close with all your promises
Do you think I act strange when you talk to me
It's cause I don't see you
Yeh I'm gonna make you wonder if you're my friend
Yeh I may as well tell you, you'll never be my friend
Aah that's the way I choose them, all my friends
The telephone always rings when you've got success
You only want us when we're at our best
But we don't hear you
Yeh I'm gonna make you wonder if you're my friend
It isn't our fault that your life's depressed
We've listened and we've learned
That all of the words that you say
Yeh all of the words that you say
Mean nothing
Yeh I'm gonna make you wonder if you're my friend


9.Everyday Now

Lyrics:Mcelhone/Spiteri
Music:Mcelhone/Spiteri

I just woke up and I can see it now
It's never been this close before
Tried to tell myself I didn't care
Crying out why am I here
There's no point in me hiding
And only now I can see

Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me

Something deep inside said move away
Try to leave what's good behind
And I still ask myself
Why I let it go
All these years were wasted time
There's no point in me hiding
And only now I can see

Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me

Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me

Cause I never told you
That I could never live without it
Now the blame's on me

Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me

Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me

Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me


10.In Our Lifetime

Lyrics:Mcelhone/Spiteri
Music:Mcelhone/Spiteri

There are things
I can't tell you
I love you too much to say
I stand undressed
But I'm not naked
You look at me and who I am

refrain II
Understand that it is hard to tell you
That I've given all I have to give
And I can understand your feelings
But then everybody has a life to live

refrain:
Once in a lifetime
You have seen what I've seen
You will always swim for shore
Once in my lifetime
I'll never be in between
Some things you just can't ignore

Now reach out
You can touch me
I'll let you have my life to share
Years, the days
And the minutes
Yeh time has such a puzzling grace

refrain II


I just need to have your love
I just can't say no
It's a gift from way above
I just can't say no
It's the one big difference
If there's one thing I can have


11.Halo

Lyrics:Mcelhone/Spiteri
Music:Mcelhone/Spiteri

Bright light city
You're her religion
Superstars in their own private movie
Play just like children

Lies that take her
Places she's never seen
The kiss and tell of it all
To her it seems so obscene

refrain II
She's so pretty
Her hair is a mess
We all love her
To that we confess

Refrain: She has a halo
We really do adore her
For she has a halo
Can we touch her

For their blindness
She sees much further
Like on a wide-screen viewing
Going down on her

refrain II & I
She believes in everything
She believes in nothing, in everything
Halo, halo, halo, halo
Halo, halo, halo, halo

refrain

For she has a halo
She has a halo


12.Prayer For You

Lyrics:Mcelhone/Spiteri
Music:Mcelhone/Spiteri

All I see is the truth now
That's all I want you to know
That I'll never turn my back on you
And leave you out there on your own
I could never hide my feelings
I could never let you fall
And I want you to remember
All the love that I've found

Oh I say a prayer
A prayer for you
Oh for you

I could never make a promise
I'd only break it in the end
Then you're looking for the answers
You'd never trust in me again
I could never watch you suffer
I could never let you down
And I hope you soon discover
All the truth that I've now found

Oh I say a prayer
A prayer for you
Oh for you

Oh I say a prayer
A prayer for you
Oh for you


13.Guitar song

I feel bad
And beautiful
In all the strangest places
You feel good
You're sweetest
The weather's changing as I look at your face

Falling
Fall to the floor
Falling
You know we can

Haven't had a dream in such a long time now
It's raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
But I'm safe and warm, outside it's cold and grey
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day

So many songs
In my mind
Maybe less cause I've drunk so much wine
There's light
In your eyes
But out the window it's gone dark outside

Falling
Fall to the floor
Falling
You know we can

Haven't had a dream in such a long time now
It's raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
But i'm safe and warm, outside it's cold and grey
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day

Haven't had a dream in such a long time now
It's raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
But i'm safe and warm, outside it's cold and grey
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day

It'll be alright
If you stay tonight

Haven't had a dream in such a long time now
It's raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
But i'm safe and warm, outside it's cold and grey
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day

Haven't had a dream in such a long time now
(it'll be alright)
It's raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
(it'll be alright)
But I'm safe and warm, outside it's cold and grey
(it'll be alright)
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day
(it'll be alright)

That's my guitar and I will play for you all day
(it'll be alright)
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day
(it'll be alright)
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day
(it'll be alright)


14.When We Are Together

Lyrics:Mcelhone/Spiteri
Music:Mcelhone/Spiteri

Oh, I remember you said can I fight and breathe
So now I always, always hold my breath you see
You're my heaven, you're my spaceman in your shiny shiny suit
I'll send up all my prayers and hope they're understood

refrain II
Love started making sense
I always make mistakes at my expense
Love has placed a seed
And you're the sun that shines down upon me

refrain:
Yeh when we are together
And when we are apart
There is no space in our hearts
I've got these feelings

It's been too long since I've tried to take the time
So now I'm fallin', fallin' into the sublime
When you brush against a stranger
And you both apologise
And then you see there's some thing you recognise

refrain II
refrain


15.Insane

Lyrics:Mcelhone/Spiteri
Music:Mcelhone/Spiteri

Somebody told me it was over
Nobody told me where it began
No one believes in you
I understand

Like a blind man
Who's lost his way
No one hears a word
Of what you say
I forgive you
Would you do the same

I would believe you
If only you'd be true
I would believe if it were true

refrain: Cause everybody wants to be a winner
Nobody wants to lose their game
It's the same for me
It's insane insane insane insane insane

I don't know where you've been looking
I think it's only in your mind
It's tied so tight inside of you
All the thoughts unkind

I would believe you
If only you'd be true
I would believe if it were true

refrain

I would believe you
If only you'd be true
I'm getting older
And I can't escape time

refrain


16.Tired of Being Alone

I'm so tired of being alone
I'm so tired of on-my-own
Won't you help me girl
Just as soon as you can

People say that I've found a way
To make you say that you love me
Hey baby, you didn't go for that
It's a natural fact
That I wanna come back
Show me where it's at, baby

I'm so tired of being alone
I'm so tired of on-my-own
Won't you help me girl
Soon as you can

I guess you know that I, uh, I love you so
Even though you don't want me no more
Hey hey hey hey, I'm cryin' tears
All through the years
I'll tell ya like it is
Honey, love me if you will

Yeah baby
Tired of being alone here by myself, now
I tell ya, I'm tired baby
I'm tired of being all wrapped up late at night
In my dreams, nobody but you, baby
Sometimes I wonder
If you love me like you say you do
You see baby, I been thinkin' about it, yeah
I been, I been wantin' to get next to you baby
Ya see, sometimes I hold my arms, I say mmmm hmmm hmmm
Yeah baby
Meeting you has proven to me
To be my greatest dream, yeah

Tired, baby
Yeah, you don't know what I'm talkin' about
Sometimes late at night I get to wonderin' about you baby
Oh baby, baby
I'm so tired of being alone
I'm so tired of being alone
I'm so tired of being alone...


17.Put Your Arms Around Me

Written:Mcelhone/Spiteri/Steward/Hodgens

Are you ready maybe
Are you willing to run
Are you ready to let yourself drown
Are you holding your breath
Are you ready or not

Are you ready maybe
Do you long to confess
Do you feel that you're already numb
Are you sure of yourself
Would you lie if you're not

You tire me out
Don't wanna let that happen
A secret scream so loud
Why did you let that happen

Ooh ooh so put your arms around me
You let me believe that you are someone else
Ooh ooh cause only time can take you
So let me believe
That I am someone else

Maybe, are you ready to break
Do you think that I push you too far
Would you open yourself
Are you reckless or not

You tire me out
Don't wanna let that happen
A secret scream so loud
Why did you let that happen

refrain
Sha na na na na
Ooh ooh so put your arms around me

Make me believe
Take me take me
Somewhere
Let me believe
Cause only time can take you
So stop

It's turned that I don't care

I've said goodnight
Try to sleep tight
Ah just dream of me
Go close your eyes
Cause I've closed mine
The sun will shine from time to time
Oh, when you dream of me, yeh
