Headstart For Happiness

Style Council Headstart For Happiness Lyrics
1.Angel

If i could i'd give you the world
Wrap it all around you
I won't be satisfied with just a piece of your heart
Angel, you're my angel

Dreams are dreams and some dreams come true
I found a real dream, baby when i found you
You're so strong, but tender too

Angel, you're my angel

Love like ours is heaven sent - each day a day to remember
I feel so safe - feel safe when i'm with you, with you

Angel, you're my angel

You give me more, you keep right on giving
Fill me up - baby we could go on living
When things get tough, i can always turn to you

Angel, you're my angel

I love the way we touch, i love the way it feels
Every time your near me my poor heart just won't keep still
No doubt about it that this love i feel is real
Ask me to go with you - you know that i will

Hold me near - hold me tight
Only you can make it real - only you make it alright
Just let me know that i am special to you

Angel, you're my angel


2.Come To Milton Keynes

May i walk you home tonight
On this fine and lovely night tonight -
We'll walk past the luscious houses,
Through rolling lawns and lovely flowers -
Our nice new town where the curtains are drawn
Where hope is started and dreams can be borne.
Let us share our insanity
Go mad together in community
Boys on the corner looking for their supper
Boys round the green looking for some slaughter -
We used to chase dreams now we chase the dragon
Mine is the semi with the union jack on.

In our paradise lost we'll be finding our sanity
In this paradise found we'll be losing our way -
For a brave new day.

May i slash my wrists tonight,
On this fine conservative night tonight -
I was looking for a job so i came to town
I easily adopt when the chips are down -
I read the ad about the private schemes
I liked the idea but now i'm not so keyne.


3.Everybody's On The Run

Everybody's on the run
When times get too rough and things get you down
When life gets too tough just take a look around

The money gets tight and there's no one around
No one in sight - you've got to understand

You're trying so hard to make your life right
They'll knock back down - but you won't be there for life

When times get too rough and things get you down
When life gets too tough just take a look around


4.Francoise

The teardrops in my eyes are now just words upon some paper
Imitating poetry that comes to my time later
Oh, francoise
Could it be the time changing
Oh, francoise
Please don't get me wrong - i meant it
If good things come in twos why did we never act as one
I thought that we might last forever
I'm shocked to find we won't
Oh, francoise
Can it be that time's so different
Oh, francoise
But don't think that i never felt it

Once upon a time i could have told you what i wanted
But more and more i grow to find that nothing's as expected
Oh, francoise
Perhaps it means that time changing
Oh, francoise
Please don't get me wrong - i meant it


5.Headstart For Happiness

When i find you waiting hours; oh,
You're there to save my life for our obvious goal
We've got a headstart for happiness
For our part, guess we must be blessed
For this feeling to be so strong
Tell me is that so wrong?
The space betweeen us for days has been so far;
I've spent a lonely week
Now i wanna be where you are
We've got a headstart for happiness, for our part
Guess we must be kissed by this force i feel inside
Now i'm not gonna hide.

All the roads that lead to struggles
Bring you back to where you need
Some reassurance in your own depth,
Only you can see, but let others feel
Peace in my mind i'm so happy to find
As i get on my trek with a headstart back to you.

You'll find it can happen
You'll find you've got the strength
You can move a mountain
You just need the confidence

In yourself and all you've got to take this world
And shake it up
Let no one say they're better than you
You must believe you've got the power

To rise above the lies
'cause what we're dealing here with today is a love thing
Right here, right now
Now listen

When i find you waiting hours, oh
It's my heart, not my head that takes control
And you've got to lead where your heart says go
And this hope that it turns out so
And that's all that you can hope for
Can you expect much more?

Naive and wise with no sense of time
As i set my clock with a heart beat, tick tock
Violent and mild - common sense says i'm wild
With this mixed up fury, crazy beauty
It's healthy to find all these feelings inside
As i get on my trek with a headstart back to you.


6.Heaven's Above

Heavens above what have we done
Oh, we've killed off the thing we had so little of
True, love has no truth without a price
But the cost of loving has been blown sky high
Spend on the hope the call the peacemaker
And pray to their god - the heavy rainmaker
Paegans of wealth they dance so freely
As they give away the life that comes so cheaply

Don't you see - there's a better way for us to be
And in the back of your mind - you know its just a matter of
time

Time here today is life tomorrow
Oh but life means less now the time is borrowed
Paid for in blood, the donors seem keen
As they realise too late they've been so cheated

Surely by now we've paid the price
What is there left to sacrifice
You take the power - you take the pay
You steal the will and have the say
I'm sure by now there's not much left
One hand on heart - one on a breast
You steal the milk - you milk the land
But your time is up - your time is sand!


7.It Just Came To Pieces In My Hands

I stood as tall as a mountain
I never really thought about the drop
I trod over rocks to get there
Just so i could stand on top
Clumsy and blind i stumbled
As i crawled through desert sands
I didn't stop to think about the consequences
As it came to pieces in my hands

I thought i was a maritime marvel
I believed that i ruled the waves
All i could say is time is motion
And every effort others made i would save

I was a shit stained statue
School children would stand in awe
Truly believed i was a ceiling of sky
Never thought about having flaws

I felt as reverent as jesus
The sanctimony stunk
I thought i was admiral of the missing fleet
I couldn't see that i was sunk

I roared my pride in the darkness
I scratched away at the stars
I thought i was lord of this crappy jungle
I should have been put behind bars

But now i sit with my head in my hands
And wail to the weeping wall
The avalanche of my emotions
Holds the audience of one enthralled

Like learning the lesson the hard way
Like a fall from command
I thought i as king of the whole wide world
But it just came to pieces in my hands


8.Long Hot Summer

I play out my role
Why i've even been out walking
They tell me that it helps
But i know when i'm beaten
All those lonely films
And all those lonely parties
But now the feeling is off-screen
An' the tears for real not acted, anymore

I'm all mixed up inside
I want to run but i can't hide
And however much we try
We can't escape the truth and the fact is

Don't matter what i do
It don't matter what i do
Don't matter what i do
Don't matter what i do
Don't matter what i do
'cause i end up hurting you

One more covered sigh
And one more glance you know means goodbye
Can't you see that's why
We're dashing ourselves against the rocks of a lifetime

(in my mind different voices call)
What once was pleasure now's pain for us all
(in my heart only shadows fall)
I once stood proud now i feel so small
(i don't know whether to laugh or cry)
The long hot summer just passed me by


9.Move On Up

Hush now child, and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you, by and by
Just move on up
Towards your destination
You may find, from time to time, complications
Bite your lip, oh child, just take a trip
Though there may be a wet road ahead
You cannot slip, now
Just move on up
And keep on pushing
Just a little faith, you can put your mind to it
You can surely do it

Hush now child, and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you, by and by
Just move on up

Move on up!


10.Spin Driftin'

I was hoping to be found alive in a pool of lies and
An ocean of tears
I was looking for a ship ahoy
I was waiting, bottom line, for a miracle
All i hope is that when they find me
I have the good sense to say a prayer
For all that is dear to me
I hope i still find them waiting there

Knowing that i should be grateful is not enough and no reason at
all
It's only right to reveal my feelings
And even at times the best get bored

I was floating for quite a while with my fingers resting
In the deep blue sea
I was watching the spin drift dancing
Flowin' away to forever from me

I could have stayed forever and sunday
Waiting for something or even someone
I could've watched the whole world pass me
Just for the sake of being reasonable

I was hoping to be found alive in a pool of lies and
An ocean of tears
I was looking for a ship ahoy
I was waiting, bottom line, for a miracle

All i hope is that when they find me
I have the good sense to say a prayer
For all that is dear to me
I hope i still find them waiting there

Knowing that i should be grateful is not enough or a reason at
all
It's only right to reveal my feelings
And even at times the best get bored

I couldn have stayed forever and sunday
Waiting for something or even someone
I could've watched the whole world pass me
Just for the sake of being reasonable


11.Spring, Summer, Autumn

I will learn, i will grow
And for my pain, my strength shall show
For as surely as spring will come
Bringing freshness to order's dance
Until the ices melt away
Then we will live again
I will try, i will succeed
To train my sights upon the deep
And wait for summer's bloom to come
Bringing warmth to the frozen hearts
Until the skies are filled with love
Then we will live again

I will search, i will find
And grow again the parts that died
Like the changes that autumn brings
We need the courage to go ahead
And not cling on to the past
Then we can live again


12.Waiting

I don't mind what people say,
They always think the worst anyway
And if i'm wrong i'll pay the price
It's a cost that i don't count as sacrifice
I'm gonna love you anyway
I don't care what people say
I'm gonna love you come what may
I don't care what people say

An opinion held is such demand
But i'd much sooner hold your hand
It's a question of priority
And i think that you would still be here for me

I'd be a fool to bow to their advice
As if their wish were my command
And i would be a fool to say goodbye
To the love that lies waiting, now


13.Wanted

There's a girl in my office
She keeps on stopping
Right in front of my eyes
Though i try and try
I can't hide anymore
Letting my feelings speak for me

But when i try to speak
My tongue gets weak
I stay the lonely man i am

Why should it be
That my heart's under lock
And i can't find the key
Tell me, why should it seem
That i'm diving inside without making a try

Why oh, well i only want to be wanted

There's a girl in my dreams
Working nights on my scenes
Till she has me in little bits

There's a time and a place
But it moves at a pace
And i can't seem to keep in time

There's a word for the way
But no words can i say
So a lonely man i stay

Why should it be
I confess that it's hard
Turning hopes into dreams but -
Why did i see
You cocoon yourself nights
Finding soup in your flies

Oh, i only to be wanted

Why should it be
That my heart's under lock
And i can't find the key
Tell me, why should it seem
That i'm diving inside without making a try

Why oh, well i only want to be wanted


14.Why I Went Missing

I don't know why, i went missing
It could have been the call of night
It could have been a change of mind.
I don't know why, i went missing
And though lost i found myself
Where i had been all the time.

When the clock chimes i shall be gone
But judge not the action but what went wrong
I'm no saint but i'm no sinner
That's one of the reasons why, i went missing.

Took me off to somewhere nice
A night at half bored in paradise.

There's plenty more i could have kissed
And those who wanted it - i could of resist
But i blamed myself for this out of town kissing
I made up an excuse of why i went missing.

But truth as in fiction is sometimes strained
And love and contradiction have a part to play
I once blamed myself now i blame you
Why i went missing is a fictional truth.
