What Price Paradise

China Crisis What Price Paradise Lyrics
1.It's Everything

It's everything
Yes, it's everything

(it's everything you'll ever know)
(it's everything you'll ever need)
(it's everything you'll ever see)
(it's everything you'll ever feel)

Wonderment, pride and pleasure
Is everything i feel when we're together
Safe way to be
It's everything you need, when you're with me

Stay, when do i learn to stay
And love, what do i know 'bout love
It's everything, yes it's everything

Influence, guide and treasure
Is everything we need to last forever
Safe way to be
It's everything i need, when you're with me

Stay, when do i learn to stay
And love, what do i know 'bout love
It's everything, yes it's everything


2.Arizona Sky

The arizona sky
The sky is bigger there
It took my breath away
That doesn't happen every day

Manhattan's music, man
On every avenue
You've heard no greater sound
Too much can get you down

Decorate, paint it for the union
No reson to give up on the illusion
Take confident possession of yourself
No reson to give up on the illusion

Venice is sinking fast
Looks almost upside down
Under a spell we fell
There's more, too much to tell

Decorate, paint it for the union
No reson to give up on the illusion
Take confident possession of yourself
No reson to give up on the illusion

Uptown in ????
Beneath chicago moon
Spend every dollar saved
As much as we have made


3.Safe As Houses

Safe as houses
Built on quicksand
Because i place my trust
In small town dreams
It's common on crooks
I know the strain of day to day
Busy, busy everybody
I've seen the strangest times
It's far from noticed
Busy, busy everybody
I know the strain of day to day

I shook of my world
But stood back in amazement
I saw the greatest of worlds
To be the cheapest attraction

Safe as houses
Built on quicksand
Because i don't compete
For nobody's place
Making any difference
I know the strain of day to day
Busy, busy everybody
If you could join me now
I would not want for anything or anyone

I shook of my world
But stood back in amazement
I saw the greatest of worlds
To be the cheapest attraction

Safe as houses
Built on quicksand
Because i waste my time
In backstreet dealings
Killing often, everytime
I know the strain of day to day
Busy, busy everybody
I've seen the cruelest times
It's far from noticed
Busy, busy everybody


4.Worlds Apart

You're so cold
Resisting only your feelings
Worlds apart
And your world's lost all meaning

I, i try
But nothing you say moves me
Some, some day
Maybe i'll hear more clearly

Laughing loud
But i felt uninvited
Away from the crowd
The way they talk it's frightening

I, i try
But nothing you say moves me
Some, some day
Maybe i'll hear more clearly

Worlds, worlds apart
Worlds, worlds apart

A stranger to me
And i could have sworn i knew you
And worlds apart
And my worlds lost all meaning


5.Hampton Beach

On with the coloured lights
Waiting in the winds for attention
It doesn't really come from me
I'm missing everything you see
And who could ask for more
Lay me on a beach in new hampton
It's not a million miles away
I'm serious in every way

When do i be still?

And in this marching ends
Playing out of here into nowhere
I'm not about to change my mind
Uncertain for the very last time

When do i be still
With you in mind?

On with the coloured lights
Knowing there's a place for you always
Acceptance isn't easy, i know
It's better than to live alone
And who could ask for more
Waiting in the winds for attention
I'm not about to change my mind
Uncertain for the very last time

When do i be still
With you in mind?


6.The Understudy

Do you wear a smile
Dress up all the time
Feel real satisfied
Always by my side

I do believe your mine
Want you for all time

Do you wear a crown
Reigning over me
Feel real confident
Always on my mind

I do believe your mine
Want you for all time

Baby, now i see it well
Maybe time and time will tell
For the understudy

Do you count the days
Knowing my indecision
Promises i have made
Fueled with deep suspicion

I do believe your mine
Want you for all time

Baby, now i see it well
Yes it's true that time will tell
For the understudy


7.Best Kept Secret

Secret best kept between the two
Witness a change of heart in you

Two together is what you are
Two together can go so far
And so far
You're the best kept secret

You dream from the start of bridging two worlds apart

They will whisper and corner you cold
Try to break the very heart and soul
Of the best kept secret

You dream from the start of bridging two worlds apart
And love so they say
Wins over the coldest heart
Coldest heart

Secret best kept between the two
Precious for all time with you

Two together is what you are
Two together can
Go so far
For the best kept secret

You dream from the start of bridging two worlds apart
And love so they say
Wins over the coldest heart
Coldest heart


8.We Do The Same

Wake up to the sound of
Young love uprising
Kicking and fighting
In this world of no restraint

Wake up to the sound of
Young love uprising
Kicking and fighting
For they know no other way

Buddy, i know she said (?)
Satisfied with loving
Xxxx and forgotten
In this world of no restraint

We do the same
Different ways
No xxxx no shame
We take no blame
We do the same

What's with all the tears
You know nothing ain't easy
I could be wrong, i could be dreaming
In this world of no restraint

Whatcha get for thinking
Work hard and try your best
One hard earned happiness
In this world of no restraint

We do the same
Different ways
No xxxx no shame
We take no blame
We do the same
Despite all xxxx
We do the same different ways
We do the same


9.June Bride

June bride
Johnny xxxx in white
Side by side
A happening thing inside
Name the day
Waiting will get us nowhere
You decide
What you wanna do this time

This time
What you wanna do this time
I'm yours, you're mine
Forever and a day
I'll be always in your company
In xxxxx
This time

Sunny side
There you are, keep me in line
Xxxxxxxx
Taken for the very first time

First time
Taken for the very first time
I'm yours, you're mine
Forever and a day
I'll be always in your company
In xxxxx
This time

I'm struggling under the strain of this
Happy man i've got all this
Xxxxxxxxxxx
Kitchen floor in the afternoon
I'm struggling under the strain of this
Happy man i've got all this


10.A Day's Work For The Dayo's Done

Caution are a family man
Attending to business
His best he can
Mrs. missadventurer say
Check for one million in the post today
In like a dream come true
Only ourselves to please
We then can hold on to
These precious things

We are not rich
We are not poor
We never stand tall
On what we know
And every day
Will mean the same
To those we love
We raise our voice

Irish whisky and a table for two
On troublesome occassion
The best thing to do
Take advantage of myself and my time
I don't give up easily
What is rightly mine

We are not rich
We are not poor
We never stand tall
On what we know

Caution are a family man
Attending to business
His best he can
Mrs. missadventurer say
Check for one million in the post today

Caution are a family man
Protecting his interest
His best he can
Mrs. missadventurer say
He will buy his wealthy in the world today
In like a dream come true
Only ourselves to please
And i can hold on to
These precious things

We are not rich
We are not poor
We never stand tall
On what we know
And every day
Will mean the same
To those we love
We raise our voice


11.Trading In Gold

Trading in gold
Trading in my old man's gold
Nothing at the serious side
I'm playing with fire

Out in space
Dancing wild and crazed
Fortunate to be that way
No slave to reason

I do believe
You've a right to know
The urgency
Does in no way show
I see your smiling, smiling faces
Not in every town
Some are up
Some fall
They will never come down

Make no mistake
Everybody wants and takes
Stupid if you go against
Natural science

I do believe
You've a right to know
The urgency
Does in no way show
I see your smiling, smiling faces
Not in every town
Some are up
Some fall
They will never come down

Open the door
And let yourself in
