    1. Sussudio

      There's this girl that's been on my mind
      All the time, Sussudio oh oh
      Now she don't even know my name
      But I think she likes me just the same
      Sussudio oh oh

      Oh if she called me I'd be there
      I'd come running anywhere
      She's all I need, all my life
      I feel so good if I just say the word
      Sussudio, just say the word
      Oh Sussudio

      Now I know that I'm too young
      My love has just begun
      Sussudio oh oh
      Ooh give me a chance, give me a sign
      I'll show her anytime
      Sussudio oh oh

      Ah, I've just got to have her, have her now
      I've got to get closer but I don't know how
      She makes me nervous and makes me scared
      But I feel so good if I just say the word
      Sussudio just say the word
      Oh Sussudio, oh

      Ah, she's all I need all of my life
      I feel so good if I just say the word
      Sussudio I just say the word
      Oh Sussudio I just say the word
      Oh Sussudio I'll say the word
      Sussudio oh oh oh
      Just say the word

    2. Only You Know And I Know

      We know you really only wanna hear
      The things we like to say
      But if I said to you please don't do it
      You do it anyway
      Sometimes I know, we gotta be cruel
      Be cruel to be kind
      When I ask you, what you see in me
      You say our love is blind

      Cos only you know and I know
      The things we mean to say
      Only you know and I know
      The things we mean to say

      Whenever I think I know you better
      Better than I know myself
      I open up and give you everything
      Then you say, O.K. what else
      And when I run away you always cry
      You always over react
      But I don't know if you know how you really feel
      But you better know before I get back

      Cos only you know and I know
      The things we mean to say
      Only you know and I know
      The things we mean to say

      Just try to remember
      Now I'm the one you love
      You told me, ooh try to remember
      I'm the one you're always thinking of
      You told me, please try to remember
      Before I walk away
      Remember
      It's not good enough telling me the way it was yesterday

      Cos only you know and I know
      The things we mean to say
      Only you know and I know
      The things we mean to say

      Only you know and I know
      The things we mean to say, yes
      Only you know and I know
      The things we mean to say

      Only you know and I know ...

    3. Long Long Way To Go

      While I sit here trying to think of things to say
      Someone lies bleeding in a field somewhere
      So it would seem we've still got a long long way to go
      I've seen all I wanna see today

      While I sit here trying to move you anyway I can
      Someone's son lies dead in a gutter somewhere
      And it would seem that we've got a long long way to go
      But I can't take it anymore

      Turn it off if you want to
      Switch it off it will go away
      Turn it off if you want to
      Switch it off or look away

      While I sit and we talk and talk and we talk some more
      Someone's loved one's heart stops beating in a street somewhere
      So it would seem we've still got a long long way to go, I know
      I've heard all I wanna hear today

      Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to)
      Switch it off it will go away (switch it off it will go away)
      Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to)
      Switch it off or look away (switch it off or look away)

      Switch it off
      Turn it off

    4. I Don't Wanna Know

      It's over, oh yes it's all over
      And it's been a long time coming
      Some say it's too long
      She said it, and now she'll regret it
      But if she'd ask anyone
      I know they'll tell her to her face, that it's too late

      Cos I don't wanna know
      No, I don't wanna know
      She can cry all she wants
      She's not gonna bring me back, no no
      I don't wanna know
      I don't wanna know
      She can try all she wants
      It's not gonna get me back, oh oh, no no

      They warned me
      Oh yes they all warned me
      They told me, don't lose your heart to her
      She'll never give it back, no no
      Oh it's too late
      She made a big mistake
      It wouldn't be the first one anyway
      Tell me how many more, no no no

      No I don't wanna know (what she said)
      No I don't wanna know (what she said)
      She can cry all she wants
      She's not gonna bring me back, no no
      I don't wanna know (what she said)
      No I don't wanna know (what she said)
      She can try all she wants
      It's not gonna get me back, oh oh, no no

      It's over
      Oh oh it's all over
      And it's been a long time coming
      Some say it's too long, oh oh
      They warned me
      Yes they all warned me
      They told me, now don't lose your head to her
      She'll never give it back, no no, no no

      I don't wanna know (what she said)
      No I don't wanna know (what she said)
      She can cry all she wants
      She's not gonna get me back, no no
      I don't wanna know (what she said)
      No I don't wanna know (what she said)
      She can try all she wants
      She's not gonna bring me back, no no ...

    5. One More Night

      One more night, one more night
      I've been trying ooh so long to let you know
      Let you know how I feel
      And if I stumble if I fall, just help me back
      So I can make you see

      Please give me one more night, give me one more night
      One more night cos I can't wait forever
      Give me just one more night, oh just one more night
      Oh one more night cos I can't wait forever

      I've been sitting here so long
      Wasting time, just staring at the phone
      And I was wondering should I call you
      Then I thought maybe you're not alone

      Please give me one more night, give me just one more night
      Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
      Please give me one more night, ooh just one more night
      Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
      Give me one more night, give me just one more night
      Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever

      Like a river to the sea
      I will always be with you
      And if you sail away
      I will follow you

      Give me one more night, give me just one more night
      Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
      I know there'll never be a time you'll ever feel the same
      And I know it's only words
      But if you change your mind you know that I'll be here
      And maybe we both can learn

      Give me just one more night, give me just one more night
      Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
      Give me just one more night, give me just one more night
      Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever

    6. Don't Lose My Number

      They came at night leaving fear behind
      Shadows were on the ground
      Nobody knew where to find him
      No evidence was found
      "I'm never coming back"
      They heard him cry
      And I believe him
      Well he never meant to do anything wrong
      It's gonna get worse if he waits too long

      Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
      Cos you're not anywhere
      That I can find you
      Oh now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
      Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh no

      Searching through the day and into the night
      They wouldn't stop till they found him
      They didn't know him and they didn't understand
      They never asked him why
      "Get out of my way"
      They heard him shout
      Then a blinding light
      Ooh all I could see was him running down the street
      Out of the shadows and into the night

      Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
      Cos you're not anywhere
      That I can find you, oh
      Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
      Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh

      Don't give up
      Keep running, keep hiding
      Don't give up
      Billy, if you know you're right
      Don't give up
      You know that I am on your side
      Don't give up
      Oh Billy, you better, you better, you better run for your life

      Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
      Cos you're not anywhere
      That I can find you, oh
      Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
      Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh

      They came at night leaving fear behind
      Shadows were on the ground
      Nobody knew where to find him
      No evidence was found
      "I'm never coming back"
      They heard him cry
      And I believe him
      He never meant to do anything wrong
      It's gonna get worse if he waits too long

      Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
      Cos you're not anywhere
      That I can find you, oh
      Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
      Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh

    7. Who Said I Would

      I know she says she wants me
      I hear it every day
      And I know she know it keeps me
      Well there ain't no other way
      But she's got a heart must be made of stone
      Cos when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone

      She says
      Who said I would
      She knows it ain't easy for a simple boy like me
      She fills me full of loving
      Oh then she sets me free
      But she's got a heart must be made of stone
      Cos when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone

      She says
      Who said I would, tell me, who said I would
      Who said I would, who said I would

      I'm not the only one but I do fine
      I suit her purpose and I'm just her kind
      I don't own her and I never could
      Don't think I do, don't think I should

      Tell me
      Who said I would, who said I would

      But she's got a heart must be made of stone
      And when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone

      You're not the only one but you do fine
      You suit my purpose and you're just my kind
      I don't own me and you never could
      Don't think you do, don't think you should

      Who said I would (who said I would)
      Now she knows when she calls me
      I'll come running every time
      And she knows she gets me hot
      But she don't know it's her body never mine

      And she's got a heart must be made of stone
      Cos when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone
      She says
      Who said I would, tell me, who said I would
      Who said I would, who said I would

    8. Doesn't Anybody Stay Together Anymore

      You keep on walking so you don't fall down
      It's the same old story
      You keep on hiding so you can't be found
      It's the same old story
      Oh but I know you, you're the one who ran
      You know why, it's because you can, oh
      It's alright, cos I don't mind
      I'm just trying to help, but I wonder why
      Doesn't anybody stay together anymore
      I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore

      My friends keep falling and they can't get up
      It's the same old story
      Well one says white and the other one black
      It's the same old story
      And I don't know why you keep emotions walled up
      Your heart's on your sleeve, but your sleeve is rolled up
      But it's alright, cos I don't mind
      I'm just trying to help, but I wonder why
      Doesn't anybody stay together anymore
      I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore

      Things can change, from a misunderstanding
      Nobody talks, nobody hears, oh oh oh
      Makes me wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
      Oh I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore

      You keep on looking for that higher ground
      It's the same old story
      Your glass is empty and the chips are down
      It's the same old story
      But I don't know why, your emotions walled up
      Your heart's on your sleeve, but your sleeve is rolled up
      But it's alright, cos I don't mind
      I'm just trying to help, but I wonder why

      Doesn't anybody stay together anymore
      I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
      Oh I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore

    9. Inside Out

      Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
      Oh inside out, oh inside out

      Now everybody keeps on telling me how to be
      And everybody tells me do what they say
      Oh I'll help myself it's up to me and no-one else
      But till I'm ready just keep out of my way

      Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
      Oh inside out, oh inside out

      Now everybody's got me running round, up and down
      And here I am going out of my mind
      But I won't lose sight of all the, the things I'm looking for
      They're coming to me and I'm taking what's mine

      Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
      Oh inside out, oh inside out

      I'll play the game
      We'll make the same mistakes
      It's all the same
      If we can give and take
      Hold on, hold on, ooh
      Hold on, hold on, ooh

      Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
      Oh inside out, oh inside out

      All of my life I've been searching and hanging on
      Turning a corner, never know what I'd find
      But now I'm back again like I never went away
      Ooh let me in I'm through with wasting my time

      Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
      Oh inside out, oh inside out
      Oh inside out, ooh you got me inside out
      Oh inside out, oh inside out

    10. Take Me Home

      Take that look of worry
      I'm an ordinary man
      They don't tell me nothing
      So I find out what I can
      There's a fire that's been burning
      Right outside my door
      I can't see but I feel it
      And it helps to keep me warm
      So I, I don't mind
      No I, I don't mind

      Seems so long I've been waiting
      Still don't know what for
      There's no point escaping
      I don't worry anymore
      I can't come out to find you
      I don't like to go outside
      They can't turn off my feelings
      Like they're turning off a light
      But I, I don't mind
      No I, I don't mind
      Oh I, I don't mind
      No I, I don't mind

      So take, take me home
      Cos I don't remember
      Take, take me home
      Cos I don't remember
      Take, take me home
      Cos I don't remember
      Take, take me home, oh lord
      Cos I've been a prisoner all my life
      And I can say to you

      Take that look of worry, mine's an ordinary life
      Working when it's daylight
      And sleeping when it's night
      I've got no far horizons
      I don't wish upon a star
      They don't think that I listen
      Oh but I know who they are
      And I, I don't mind
      No I, I don't mind
      Oh I, I don't mind
      No I, I don't mind

      So take, take me home
      Cos I don't remember
      Take, take me home
      Cos I don't remember
      Take, take me home
      Cos I don't remember
      Take, take me home, oh lord
      Well I've been a prisoner all my life
      And I can say to you

      But I don't remember
      Take, take me home ...

    11. We Said Hello Goodbye

      We said goodbye to a dear old friend
      And we packed our bags and left feeling sad
      It's the only way
      We said hello as we turned the key
      A new roof over our heads
      Gave a smile
      It's the only way
      Only way

      Turn your head
      And don't look back
      Set your sails for a new horizon
      Don't turn around don't look down
      Oh there's life across the tracks
      And you know it's really not surprising
      It gets better when you get there oh

      Well it really don't matter much where you are
      Cos home is in your heart
      It's a feeling that you wake with one day
      Some people key p running all their life
      And still find they haven't gone too far
      They don't see it's the feeling inside - the feeling inside oh

      Turn your head and don't look back
      Just set your sails for a new horizon
      Don't turn around don't look down
      Oh there's life across the tracks
      And you know it's really not surprising
      It gets better when you get there

      We said hello as we turned the key
      A new roof over our heads
      Gave a smile - it's the only way
