Voices Of Babylon

Outfield Voices Of Babylon Lyrics
1.Voices Of Babylon

J. spinks

Hit the message i can hear you calling
No one's going anywhere tonight
We conceived a modern generation
It was free but now we pay the price
We're the victims of our own creation
Chasing rainbows that are painted black or white
Watch the struggle of our temptation
Instincts barely keeping us alive

(chorus)
Back to the rhythm that we all came from
Voices of babylon streets of london
Back to the people that we know so well
A space in time removed too soon to tell

Just a product of imagination
Patiently we wait for out turn to come
A small collection of the population
By the time our numbers up we could be gone

(chorus)
Back to the rhythm that we all came from
Voices of babylon streets of london - town


2.My Paradise

J. spinks

Think i might get lucky tonight
Let my hair down get a little crazy, yeah
My reflection's doing alright
It don't take nothing to introduce suggestion
Everbody's got one thing on their mind
A set of wheels and a cranked up radio
In this town there might be nowhere to hide
In this town there might be nowhere to go but

(chorus)
On my left - to my right
This is my paradise
You can call it what you like - i know
This is my paradise

I might get lucky again
I got a deal i know won't break me yeah
If i can afford what money can't buy
There's nothing better than a small town lady
I'm no different to the boy next door
A good time's the same for everyone
I don't need another chance to be sure
Since the day i was born i've always felt secure 'cos

(chorus)

Reputation's got a price of its own
But not too many people want to pay for it
Everybody needs a place to come from
Everybody needs a place where they belong

Everybody - this is my paradise

(chorus)


3.Part Of Your Life

J. spinks

You're taking this hard - and i still don't know
If we've got a price - i'll let you go
I don't wanna be just a part of your life
I can't complain if i'm not sure
I'll only remain if you're still pure
I'm not gonna be just a part of your life
You know i won't share you with another man
So don't expect me to try and understand
I don't wanna be just a part of your life

(chorus)
There's another choice
There's another dream
There's another place
Another reason for living
There's another face
There's another mind
There's another soul
Another heart i could find
I don't wanna be just a part of your life

I don't wanna know what might be wrong
Start looking for something that might be gone
I'm not gonna be just a part of your life
Making up for lost time won't ease the pain
Or start looking for something - just to ease the strain
I don't wanna be just a part of your life

(chorus)

I don't want a friend just to turn to
I don't need a hand that can only pull me through
I'm not gonna be just a part of your life
I don't wanna be just a part of your life


4.Shelter Me

J. spinks

I wonder how i'd feel
If we made love together
I wonder how i'd feel
Everytime we trembled
In each others arms

I wonder how i'd feel
If we could spend this night together
I wonder how i'd feel
With your body held against me
All through the night

(chorus)
Oh-oh-oh
Shelter me
Oh-oh-oh
I need you to shelter me

I wonder how i'd feel
If our emotions came together
I wonder how i'd feel
If the future was forever
And not just tonight

(chorus)

This time it's not so easy to take
A broken heart can't be replaced
Don't wanna play a waiting game
From the moment we part
I'll be counting the days

I wonder how i'd feel
If we made love together
I wonder how i'd feel
Everytime we trembled
In each others arms


5.The Night Ain't Over

J. spinks

Staying up all night - this could be a party
I've got some friends outside - looking for a good time
You better head my way - this is where it's starting
No rules - no laws - tonight you're gonna stay

(chorus)
Hey girl hold me tight - the night ain't over
Hey girl hit that light- the night ain't over

I'm staying up all night - this could a showdown
I've got this thing inside - telling me don't run and hide
And there's so many roads - only you can go down
Don't close - your eyes - there just might be another way

(chorus)

Ooh i might be losing my soul
But life's only fun when it's dangerous
And i don't wanna be told
I won't play safe and start growing old

It's five in the morning
And i can feel the beads of sweat
Running down the back of my neck
It's so good to be with you again
Oo-oo-oo

Someday - wait and see
This will be just a memory
And i'll look back with no regrets
Good times like this i can't forget

(chorus)


6.No Point

J. spinks

This ain't working out
It's not worth the time i spent on it
When i've been next to you
It's not the way you want it
And all i wanna do
Is get away and as far away from it

There's no point 'cos i'm not winning
There's no point going back to the beginning
There's no point to keep on waiting
There's no point in talking it over
There's no point in getting any closer

If it was up to you
We'd go around in circles forever
There's nothing left to do
I go around - around in you
I've tried to see it through
All i've seen is the stormy weather

There's no point in still pretending
There's no point 'cos this is never ending
There's no point in keep on trying
There's no point to carry on lying
There's no point acting like children
There's no point 'cos this time i'm gone

There's no point in talking it over
There's no point in getting any close
There's no point in still pretending
There's no point 'cos this is never ending
There's no point in keep on trying
There's no point to carry on lying
There's no point in talking it over
There's no point in getting any closer
There's no point 'cos i'm not winning
There's no point going back to the beginning
There's no point in hesitating
There's no point tonight
There's no point at all


7.Taken By Surprise

J. spinks, t. lewis

She wakes me up in the middle of the night
When i'm rolling over - rolling over
She keeps on asking is there something on my mind - i know
She's getting close just a little too closer - and yet
Secrets are hard form me to hide
'cos i never know what she might find
Telling her lies
Taken by surprise - taken by surprise yeah

She calls me up every minute of the day
It's like she's checking me over - always over my should and
then
We talk and talk until there's nothing left to say
But she won't leave me alone every night
She never says what's on her mind
And the way it looks - well i know she ain't blind
Telling her lies
Taken by surprise - taken by surprise yeah

You know this game is the same
All the world over
But no one laughs when they're taking the blame
Over your should - taken by surprise

Can't close my eyes in case i talk in my sleep
Ooh i gotta lotta secrets that i know i wanna keep yeah
And she might even know what's going on
And it's all just an act when she says nothing's wrong
Like a disguise
Taken by surprise - taken by surprise


8.Reach Out

J. spinks

Never been afraid to learn - at the speed i've been living
Never tried to run away - when my luck's been sinking
Looking back doesn't seem that long
I was too blind to see waht was going on

(chorus)
Tried to reach out and touch you but you were gone - oh i
Sometimes i wonder if i was wrong - so wrong

Never been afraid to say - anything i been thinking
Never tried to run away - even from the beginning
Looking back doesn't seem that long
The way i feel now don't care if i carry on

(chorus)

Tried to reach out - tried to touch you
Tried to reach out - tried to touch you

(chorus)


9.Makin' Up

Hey you - what's your problem - i been mystified
You might come from a different city - your body talks just like
mine
Some things get misunderstood - and we can't stop the fight
But there's one thing that we don't disagree on putting right

(chorus)
Makin' up - makin' up by makin' love
Makin' up - makin' up by makin' love

Hey i don't need to be teased - i'm no suicide
You might think i'm on the edge - just about to dive
Don't look back or turn around - when you say you've gone for
sure
'cos every night when talk gets cheap - you still come back for
more

(chorus)

Hey little dream maker - you can stick the cream
I've abused so many times - i don't believe in me
It's the best if i suggest - and you just try to please
There's one thing we both agree - can end hostility

(chorus)


10.Inside Your Skin

Inside your skin - there's a girl i want to know
Inside your skin - you could let my feelings grow
Where do i begin - to tell you that i want you so

(chorus)
Doesn't matter what color you are
Doesn't matter if you're so far away

Inside your arms - i would always feel secure
Inside your arms - i would always be so sure
Tearing us apart - would only make me want you more

(chorus)

Think about a world - free of pain
Think about a world - where nothing changed
Always the same

Inside your heart - no one's ever been before
Inside your heart - someone who remained so pure
Knowing where to stop or to start
Telling you i want you more

(chorus)
(chorus)
