1. Fill In The Blanks
Talkin' on the telephone
Nothin' to say
Empty conversation
Headin' my way
Pointin' the finger
Placin' the blame
Tired of bein' negative
Sick of the pain
Faded to action
Fill in the blanks
No more distraction
Thanks but no thanks
Fill in the blanks
Just an empty feelin'
Searchin' my soul
Change of disposition
Reachin' a goal
Need some direction
Which way to go
Make a connection
Just go with the flow
Faded to action
Fill in the blanks
Faded to action
Fill in the blanks
No more distractions
Thanks but no thanks
Fill in the blanks
Talkin' on the telephone
Nothin' to say
Empty conversation
2. Peace Dream
Last night I had a peace dream
You know how real dreams can be
The world was a better place
For you and me, can't you see?
No need for war no more
Better things we're fighting for
No more hunger, no more pain
I hope I have that dream again
Can you imagine all of this coming through?
It's really up to all of us to do
Just like John Lennon said in Amsterdam from his bed
"One day the world will wake up to see the reality"
Last night I had a peace dream
You know how real dreams can be
The world was a better place
For you and me, can't you see?
No need for war no more
Better things we're fighting for
No more hunger, no more pain
I hope the dream comes true someday
So try to imagine
If we give peace a chance
All the world could be living in harmony
One day our dream could be reality, reality
Last night I had a peace dream
You know how real dreams can be
The world was a better place
For you and me
No need for war no more
Better things we're fighting for
No more hunger, no more pain
We'll make our dream come true someday
Last night I had a peace dream
You know how real dreams can be
The world was a better place
3. The Other Side Of Liverpool
The other side of Liverpool
Is cold and damp
Only way out of there
Drums, guitar and amp
The other side of Liverpool
Where I came from
My mother was a barmaid
At the age of three my father was gone
Dave, if you are listening
Well, you know what I mean
It was you and Brian Briscoe
Got me through my early teens alright
The other side of Liverpool
The other side, the other side
The other side of Liverpool
You know it's true
The other side of Liverpool
The other side, the other side
The other side of Liverpool
You know it's true
The other side of Liverpool
You just had to laugh
We had to go to Steeple Street
Just to take a bath
The other side of Liverpool
We used to play for free
They'd give us lukewarm beer
To keep us sweet, Eddy, Roy and me
And Roy if you are listening
Thanks for all you've done
It was you and me on the factory floor
When rock and roll had just begun, oh yeah
That was the other side of Liverpool
The other side, the other side
The other side of Liverpool
You know it's true
The other side of Liverpool
The other side, the other side
The other side of Liverpool
You know it's true, the other side, alright
That was the other side of Liverpool
The other side of Liverpool
You know it's true
The other side of Liverpool
The other side, the other side
The other side of Liverpool
You know it's true
The other side of Liverpool
The other side, the other side
The other side of Liverpool
You know it's true
The other side of Liverpool
The other side, the other side
The other side of Liverpool
You know it's true
The other side of Liverpool
Is cold and damp
Only way out of there
4. Walk With You
No man is an island who has been in love
Bringing understanding every push and shove
Just as fundamental as the stars above
It is benefiting every hand in glove
And you tell me it's a cold day in hell when you surrender
For love and a chance to remember
What we have to hold is more silver and gold
When I walk with you, when I talk with you
Everything will be fine
When I walk with you, when I talk with you
Everything will be fine, will be fine
It's coincidental we have met before
Let this be the time and place that we explore
With no hesitation knocking at that door
Open up your heart to love forever more
And I tell you it's a cold day in hell but we remember
That song that starts out love me tender
And that king of hearts
When I walk with you, when I talk with you
Everything will be fine
When I walk with you, when I talk with you
Everything will be fine, will be fine
Picking up the picture of love in pain
I don't have time if what time remains
What I have just tried to explain flew by you
What can I do with a heart of steel
I would impart what I've come to feel
Love is the answer and it is real
I'll always be there besides you
When I walk with you, when I talk with you
Everything will be fine
When I walk with you, when I talk with you
Everything will be fine, will be fine
When I walk with you, when I talk with you
Everything will be fine
When I walk with you, when I talk with you
Everything will be fine, will be fine
No man is an island who has been in love
Bringing understanding every push and shove
Just as fundamental as the stars above
5. Time
Time waits for nobody
And nobody waits for time
Life is for the living
All we have to do is shine
Forget about yesterday
This is the best day of your life
You better not fade away
Today is the best day of our life, alright
I've seen a lot of joy
I've seen a lot of pain
Things I've had to go through
To get back on track again
Now I can forget about yesterday
This is the best day of our life
I'm glad you didn't fade away
Today is the best day of our life, alright
People have their problems
I know it's true
I have mine, you have yours
But I'll be there, yes, I'll be there for you
Time waits for nobody
And nobody waits for time
Life is for the living
6. Everyone Wins
Will we ever learn what makes this world go round?
Now it's our concern, we still return to the same old ground
Nothing is new under the sun but things will get better
When we all are one we'll play a different game
Harmony is fine but after a time, well the key must change
Open your eyes, don't lose your way, remember today
Ah, everyone wins
The light that's shining out from you will touch everything that you see
Ah, everyone wins
You reach into the silence, you will find it's the time to believe
Take care of yourself, there's no mystery
Try to understand everything's planned, it's more than you or me
Magic may come, magic may go, it's not the end of the show
Ah, everyone wins
The light that's shining out from you will touch everything that you see
Ah, everyone wins
You reach into the silence, you will find it's the time to believe
One day you will find the doubts you had are taken from your mind
Taken from your mind
Ah, everyone wins
The light that's shining out from you will touch everything that you see
Ah, everyone wins
You reach into the silence, you will find it's the time to believe
Ah, everyone wins
Everyone wins
Everyone wins in the end
Will we ever learn what makes this world go round?
Now it's our concern, we still return to the same old ground
Nothing is new under the sun but things will get better
7. Mystery Of The Night
Here comes love, here comes light
Here comes darkness moving slowly into night
I cross the room, unlock the door
These are moments like I've never had before
I hear your footsteps coming near
It's the sound I love to hear
Then you fall right into me
Hmm, it's destiny
You can hear the angels sing
Something feels so right
We don't even have to say the words
I can feel the world around us turn
Feel our love's alive
Living in the mystery of the night
Can't remember who I used to be
Before there was you, here loving me
You were always in my heart
We were written in the stars
Then you fall right into me
Hmm, it's destiny
You can hear the angels sing
Something feels so right
We don't even have to say the words
I can feel the world around us turn
I feel our love's alive
Living in the mystery of the night
I can't believe it
Yes, I can't believe it
Now I can really see it
You love me
You were always in my heart
It was written in the stars
Then you fall right into me
Hmm, it's Destiny
You can hear the angels sing
That something feels so right
We don't even have to say the words
I can feel the world around us turn
I feel our love's alive
Living in the mystery of the night
Living in the mystery of the night
We're living in the mystery of the night
Here comes love, here comes light
Here comes darkness moving slowly into night
I cross the room, unlock the door
8. Can't Do It Wrong
Sometimes I walk and I don't know the way
Don't have a map but I can't be afraid to go on
'Cause as long as I am doing it I can't do it wrong
I hear the birds when I open my eyes
It sounds like music, it's part of my life, is a song
And as long as I am singing it I can't sing it wrong
We think sometimes the choices that we make
Will break our hearts but there are no mistakes
When I'm honest here's what I found
Love is the answer and the answer is coming on strong
As long as I am giving it I can't give it wrong
We think sometimes the choices that we make
Will break our hearts but there are no mistakes
So look around, it's never gonna be too late
To open up your heart, it's easy, you don't have to wait
We can't get nowhere if we're all standing still
And when the chips are down you know that we will carry on
As long as we're doing it we can't do it wrong
They will all carry on 'cause as long as we're doing it we can't do it wrong
Can't do it wrong
Sometimes I walk and I don't know the way
Don't have a map but I can't be afraid to go on
'Cause as long as I am doing it I can't do it wrong
9. Y Not
Why Not? Check in on the merchandise
Why Not? Always something in your size
Why Not? Who says that it's not allowed?
Why not do it if you want to do it now?
I've heard all the reasons
Why you can't do this, and why you can't do that
I can't understand it
And I don't believe it, not even for a minute
I still don't believe it, even when I'm in it
Trying to get out and trying to get in
Trying to remember all the places I've been
Let's stop reading in between the lines
Let's stop doing things and paying fines
Let's stop thinking that we're in control
Let's stop listening in to our soul
Let's stop getting in each other way
Let's stop doing what we're doing today
Sometimes I think it's easy
Sometimes I think it's bad
I've got to remember some days when I feel sad
Nothing lasts for ever, and everything must pass
As long as I keep going, If get off my ass
I listen to my music, I listen to my soul
The place that I come from
Well it's still rock and roll
I've got things to do and things to say
I' ve got love to help me every day
I've got bridges that I've got to cross
I"ve got to get the things that I have lost
I've got to make it real and make it sound
Why not? Why not? Why not?
(indian sounding lyics and rhythm, with sitar)
Why Not check in on the merchandise
Why not? Always something in your size
Why Not? Who says that it's not allowed?
Why not do it if you want to now?
WHy Not? I promise you will be suprised
Why Not? Why Not? Why Not?
(indian sounding lyics and rhythm, with sitar)
Why Not?...
(indian sounding lyics and rhythm, with sitar)
Why Not.....Why Not? Why Not?
Why Not, Why Not, Why Not.
10. Who's Your Daddy
mmmm, yeah
I see it constantly
I know you find it hard to see
We need to set a couple things straight
I won't take you lying down
I know you like to get around
You know I hate it when you're late
I know how you look when you're tellin' lies
You have a good seat, no surprise, yeah!
Who's your daddy?
Not you, no
Who's your daddy?
I'll drop you to the floor
Who's your daddy?
Check yourself
Who's your daddy?
Check yourself home
Boy not taking you no more
I know you like to see me smile
And you love when I'm acting wild
You're the man I love to hate
You give me chicken wings
But baby I want solid rings
What's up with your mind?
Are you insane? Ohh
You know baby when I'm telling lies
Now I need no alibis
Who's your daddy?
Not you, no more
Well I drop you to the floor
Come on baby
Who's your daddy?
I'm not taking it no more
Who's your daddy?
Not you
Who's your daddy?
Not you, not you no more
Who's your daddy?
Who's your daddy?
You're the man I love to hate, yes you are.
