1.Still Life

Lyricist:Martin Cooper, Mal Holmes, Paul Humphries

I remember when all the leaves
Have touched the ground
With a love of life that's so profound
And as you turn and walk by me

I remember in the paler midnight sky
As I lay I hear you sigh
And a chill blows through my heart
A chill blows through my heart

Anywhere you are driving in your car
You go through my head, you go through my head
With every single day and every word you say
Goes through my head, it goes through my head

I'll be someone who will try to lend a hand
In a way I understand
When a chill blows through my heart
You're keeping us apart

Anywhere you are driving in your car
You go through my head, you go through my head
With every single day and every word you say
Goes through my head, it goes through my head


2.Wild Strawberries

Lyricist:Martin Cooper, Mal Holmes, Paul Humphries

If you need a shoulder to cry on call me
There's no guarantee
That you'll like what you see

I'm looking for answers I know
But memories come
Just as soon as they go

Turn back the clock of your heart
And in the wild strawberry park
We grew up apart

But together at heart
And in a while years soon fly by
You let out a sigh

Wipe the tears from your eye
Memories are not what they seem
You can redeem your perfect dream

And finally you see the light
When you turn your back, you lose the fight
Turn back the clock of your heart


3.Where Do We Go From Here

Lyricist:Martin Cooper, Mal Holmes, Paul Humphries

On every corner, on every night
There's a place where you know
It will be alright
'Cause everyone has been there before

And every quarrel, and every fight
Well, off in the distance I see it in black and white
Now I'm waiting for a knock at my door
Where do we go from here?

After every sorrow in so many lives
Well, I catch a moment passing before my eyes
And I guess I'll never find my way home
Where do we go from here?


4.Somebody Somewhere

Lyricist:Martin Cooper, Mal Holmes, Paul Humphries

Wake up let's go for a ride
Somebody somewhere
Cries out from the inside
Of my mind

We've got the rest of our lives
To live for the moment
And watch all the good times
Come back again

Hooked by the drug of your lives
I'll drown in the water
That flows down from your eyes
To my lips

Someone just pulled me aside
I wait for a warning
But it's only your pride
That sounds in my ears

Yeah, it's alright
So when you feel my pain
You can tell me just the same
That it's alright


5.Oil for the Lamps of China

Lyricist:Martin Cooper, Mal Holmes, Paul Humphries

So where's the place you call home?
Somewhere to call your own
You need some time to be alone

Somewhere to light up your life
And maybe you'll hold on tight
But now I hope it turns out right

You'd better stop sitting back
And open up your eyes
When are you gonna stop and realize
This is your prize

And now you're lying down
In an old forgotten town
Keep on hoping
Keeping hope alive

Oil for the lamps of China

You've gotta believe in your pride
Shining from far and wide
Don't you think it's justified?

Somewhere to take by surprise
Under the moonlit skies
Now I hope it turns out right

But you'd better stop looking back
And open up your mind
Who are you gonna try and hope to find
One of your kind?

So here's the black and white
When you're running out of time
Keep on hoping
Keeping hope alive

Oil for the lamps of China


6.Meant To Be

Lyricist:Martin Cooper, Mal Holmes, Paul Humphries

When I wake up, up in the morning light
I take a moment, putting the world to rights
And tell myself, it's just not meant to be

Somebody said to me, how could you be so wrong
Telling stories, telling them all day long
I tell you some things are just not meant for me

Now when I'm walking out on a moonlit night
Thinking over all of the things I've had
I tell myself, it just wasn't meant for me

Somebody said to me, how could I be so blind
Wanting mercy, wanting it all the time
I tell you something, it just wasn't meant for me

You make my world so right, because everything
It's just how it's meant to be
I wanna hold you so tight, hold you close tonight
This is how it's meant to be

You make me feel so alive, now every thing's alright
This is how it's meant to be
You make my world so right, because everything
Is just how it's meant to be
