    uuu

                                    Blinded
                  Connelly/Frew/Dvoskin

                You never gave a reason why
                You went away
                I was ready to try it
                One more time
                I was ready to stay
                Restless woman
                A heart beat away from me
                Wandering in the darkness
                I hurt so much
                I could not see

                I was blinded
                I was blinded
                By the light of your love

                Endless encounters fill the night
                That you can't conceal
                So many secrets in your world
                I can't reveal
                Faceless people
                Each one a knife through my heart
                Why do you do this to me?

                It was never enough to love you
                Love has to hurt you
                Always remembered
                Of how much I was blinded

                                 Animal Heart
               Connelly/Frew/Dvoskin

                Just as the day time turns into night time
                I know that I can turn to you
                And as the river runs to the ocean
                I know that I can run to you
                Just as the rich man needs lots of money
                Listen woman, I need you
                Just like the hunter stalks the hunted
                In a jungle of lust...it's true

                I've got an animal heart when I see you
                An animal heart I'll do anything you want me to
                I've got an animal heart this love for you
                Never changes

                Pressure's risin' I look in your eyes
                And I know that the "game" is you
                You keep me running but I'm still coming
                Oh! lover do those things you do
                With a young heart I'm never lonely
                Oh! but listen woman, I need you
                My heart is aching my body's shaking
                Oh! but one thing that I know is true

                                  Let's Talk
               Frew/Reid/Vallance

                Just a boy - seventeen
                You changed my life - over and over
                Sexy girl - a movie queen
                I've never seen the sunlight shining
                Now looking back - at my life
                Played some games - over and over
                And I broke some hearts - once or twice
                Now I'm standing all alone
                Down on my luck nowhere to go

                Let's talk about
                Who's to blame
                Let's talk about
                Hiding shame
                Let's talk about
                What to do
                Let's talk about
                Trying to turn what's wrong into right
                Trying to catch up with my life

                People come - but lovers go
                I'd change the scene - over and over
                Some give and take - is what we need
                I never felt it was worth trying
                Oh! Can't you see - that all my life
                I'm born to run - over and over
                So take me hope I'll make you mine
                Trying to turn
                What's wrong into right
                Running to catch up
                With my life

                Let's talk about
                What to do
                Let's talk about
                Me and you
                Let's talk about
                Who's to blame
                Trying to turn what's wrong into right
                Trying to catch up with my life

                Oh - I know you've seen this all before
                Why do you keep on trying more
                You tell me love's worth fighting for
                What are we fighting for!

                                    Where Did Our Love Go
                  Frew/Reid/Vallance

                Silence I call your name
                Facing another long lonely day
                A feeling longing for you
                In my heart

                Darkness becomes so real
                Nothing can change
                The way that I feel
                Love goes only to those
                Who believe

                But where did our love go?
                Close as a heartbeat
                But you'll never know
                Where did our love go wrong?

                Silence I see your face
                Shadows have come
                And taken your place
                I feel your hurting
                Like me in your heart

                Holding you closer
                Then letting it go

                                   My Town
                  Connelly/Frew/Parker/Cregan

                Bring the wind to carry me over
                Lead me home to my town
                Tell me where that breeze is blowing
                Taking me home, to my town

                When I think of you Scotia
                There's a love that just bleeds in my heart
                In my childhood days we went our
                Different ways
                But you knew that we'd never part

                Now I'm all alone and you're calling me home
                You knew our love could never die
                And though my roving eyes always
                Led me astray
                Now I'm coming back home Scotia
                Don't walk away

                So when I think of you Scotia
                There's a magic that fills the air
                We're the "Downtown Boys" making all that noise
                Oh! We lived like we just don't care

                So we drank our fill for king and country
                Yeah! Till the last soldier fell
                Burlington Bertie you're in my heart forever
                I want to drown in the stories you tell

                You made me all I can ever be
                If I should fall your love will
                Rescue me

                                  The Rhythm of Your Love
               Connelly/Frew

                 Listen for the sound of your
                Heart beneath your skin
                You're standing tall
                It's the end but that's
                Where I begin
                And should you decide
                To give your life away
                Welcome to the other side
                It will blow your mind
                And you will come around any way

                The rhythm of your love will make you bleed
                The rhythm of your love is what I need
                The rhythm of your love is a golden crown
                The rhythm of your love comes a tumbling down

                So love takes its toll
                A dream you never had
                Now you're moving slow
                See them smile...it's so sad
                Oh! You gotta make up your mind
                Before they steal your heart away
                Man, are you in or out?
                Up or down?
                You'll live to fight another day

                Head down
                Eyes closed
                Here I come

                                   Spanish Slumber
                  Frew/Reid

                Cierra tus ojos...
                y escuchame.

                El tiempo ha llegado cuando tenemos
                Que aprender como tratar cada uno
                Con amor..........
                y dignidad.

                Nacimos en la misma casa.

                Pero nos criamos en differentes cuartos.

                                  Simple Mission (Dedicated to the "Captain" Terry Lawson (1949-1988))
               Frew/Reid

                Chapter 1
                Humble in the light from above
                Standing in he shadow of love
                Rock of ages who can I be?
                Where am I and what will I be?
                So just give me your love (give me your love)
                Give you my hate (give me your hate)
                It's a young man's time
                And time won't wait
                Oh just give me your love

                Chapter 2
                Silenced by the lust of your plans
                Caught up in the hatred of man
                A darker side will persecute me
                And God help you if I'm all you need
                So just give me your love (give me your love)
                Give you my hate (give me your hate)
                It's a young man's time
                And time won't wait
                Oh just give me your love

                Interlude
                You can tell just by the state I'm in
                I don't know where this thing
                Ends or where it begins
                I can see just by the look
                In her eyes
                She's laid out ready and willing
                Or maybe she's just hypnotized

                Finale
                It's a simple mission

            Stand or Fall
                  Frew/Reid/Vallance/Sandford
 

                If I could walk on the water
                If only I could fly
                Over this border
                To freedom before I die
                A woman cries beside a wall
                Of names
                A broken hearted witness
                To the shame
                She asks "Who will take the blame?"
                She's asking you and I
                You and I

                Stand or fall - welcome to this promised land
                Stand or fall - don't let it die at the hands of man
                For it's here we fall

                So deliver the children
                With silence in their eyes
                They carry the burden
                Of a world filled with lies
                Poison in our rivers, oil on the sand
                The hunger cries of a homeless man
                A rain of acid that burns our land
                But where were you and I
                You and I?

                Oh come and walk by my side
                Together we'll watch the
                Arms of the world open wide
                For it's nation time
                Nation time! - Go!

                                   Rescued (By the Arms of Love)
                  Frew/Parker/Washbrook

                I could never understand the meaning of our lives
                Just at the moment when we let it slip away
                Turning back the pages like a chapter
                In a book
                Filled with pain
                Shadowed by a darkened sky my eyes
                Just let you
                Pass me by lost forever all alone
                Taken where the lonely go to places
                They can
                Never call their own.
                You're never home.

                I'm falling, falling, falling,
                But a light shines from above
                I'm captured by the moment
                Rescued by the arms of love
                Darling, darling, darling
                It's you I'm dreaming of
                Take me where that light shines
                I'll be rescued by the arms...of love.

                Close your eyes your mind will see
                That life is still a mystery
                A hidden game of cheating and pretend
                Leave your heart with shallow friends
                They'll turn around and hurt you in the end...
                It never mends

                Why do I keep holding on forever
                A thousand tears I'm drowning in this river
                I want this love...I need this love

                                 One to One
               Frew/Reid/Vallance

                I know the story
                I've seen it all
                Watched many lonely suns
                Rise and fall
                I've heard the whisper
                I've seen the dream
                Caught in the middle
                Of in between

                Loving and hurting
                Still turn round
                In the wheel together
                Live for you!
                Die for you!
                What will I do If I've
                Lost you forever?
                Now or never

                When will your lovin'
                Ever come
                I need to be there
                One to one
                When will your lovin'
                Ever come
                I need to be there
                One to one

                I've seen the same thing
                So many times
                You think you're different
                Then you fall in line
                Stop charading don't pretend
                There is no finish line
                The game just ends

                My life and your life
                Still chasing dreams
                That go on forever
                Hear me!
                Believe in me!
                I'll be there for you whenever
                Now or never

                So now it's over
                Said and done
                I realize I never could
                Have won
                Let's talk it over
                Let's turn it down
                I found the fortune
                That can be found

                My heart and your heart
                Just beat in time
                Still locked together
                Stay with me
                You give me
                Loving so good that's new forever
                Now or never

                                    One Night Alone
                  Frew/Reid/Vallance

                Well when I first met you
                I thought
                It's too good to be true
                You had a look in those evil eyes
                That said
                "What do you want me to do?"
                Some people talk about heroes
                I know I must be one
                Part of the walking and wounded
                Young boy - take cover
                She's "incoming" and she's looking
                For another lover

                Give me one night alone
                Put out this fire baby
                Take me home
                Give me one night alone
                One night alone

                So take a cold hearted woman
                Just like lovin' on ice
                She knows how to forget you
                So boy you better get it right
                This time
                Told me you'd make
                Me your lover
                That's why I gave into you
                You chewed me up
                Then you spat me out again
                Oh baby - you're no lady
                You give me give me fever
                Crank it up and drive me crazy

                It's not the garden of Eden
                No it's not paradise
                I bit the apple
                Now I'm here to play for you
                Hey baby - you're no lady
                You give me give me fever
                Crank it up
                And drive me crazy

                                    (She Said) Love Me Like A Man
                  Frew/Reid/Vallance

                The story so far the young boy
                Makes it all alone
                In walks a diamond
                She says
                "Lover take me home"
                Oh - red car and black horse
                Speed me
                Taste of sweat and fear
                You walk in her room
                Your heart beat
                Seems to disappear

                She'll bleed your heart
                She'll steal your fortune
                Sharp as a knife
                She'll cut you
                Down, down, down

                She said love me like a man
                Lover take it slow
                Love me like a man
                Gonna give me more
                Love me like a man
                Give me all you've got
                Are you ready? Are you ready?

                I can remember thinking
                Take it like a man
                That only made her smile right at me
                Warm as the sun
                She turns to tell me
                Then colder than ice
                She turns away

                Are you ready?
                Are you ready?
                Turn it up and take me...
                Downtown
