1. All or nothing
2. Amy
3. White Street
4. I’ll be gone
5. Fallen angel boy
6. Stop the merry-go-round
7. Fall for you
8. Take my breath away
9. How many roads
10. Just the way you are
11. Without you
All or nothing
You’ve been putting your pennies away
Saving your best for a rainy day
Well it’s cats and dogs out there tonight
Keeping your secrets somewhere safe
Your dandelion wishes floating away
They could be taking seed somewhere tonight
And it’s all or nothing…
CHORUS:
Where do you run when you’ve got nowhere to hide?
Your back’s against the wall, you’re swimming against the tide
But it’s already begun, so get ready to ride
See your stars come out to shine – one at a time
You’ve been playing it safe, laughing along
Saying one day maybe you’ll belong
But there’s an ocean between us now
You try to fit in, but you just stand out
You never know what to talk about
The wheels in motion are turning for you now
And it’s all or nothing…
CHORUS
Heads you win
Tails you try again
Sink or swim
You sink or swim
You put up your hand
Head in the sand
See the trouble you’re in
All or nothing…
CHORUS
Amy
Waking up in the middle of the night
Watching for the first light
Wanting everything to be alright
I’m waiting
Sometimes I wish I didn’t have a dream to follow
It can bring you joy, then it can bring you sorrow
But I’ve got a plane to catch tomorrow
That I’ve been waiting for
I’ve got nothing left that I can give to you now
My world is coming down around me
And you can dance
But don’t you worry about a thing
Take your chance
But won’t you come on back again
Goodbye Amy
Goodbye
It’s not about the people that you leave behind
Or a picture postcard in your mind
I just want to see if I can find what I’ve been looking for
I’ve got nothing left that I can give to you now
My world is coming down around me
And I’ve got nothing more I’m going to take away from you
My dreams are coming true – it’s now or never
I know there’s no place like home
But there’s no time like now
CHORUS
I’ve been keeping the dream alive in a corner of my mind
This is my life and I can leave it all behind
Then you say that it’s easy to run – but I think it’s easier to hide
And I just want to have fun – when time is on my side
I’m going
Goodbye
CHORUS
White Street
In the front room of your house
Being as quiet as I can be
In front of your dressing table mirrors
I see millions of me
And the saints look down from above your door
But I don’t feel the sun on my face through the white lace bay window anymore
Beautiful memory
Beautiful White Street
The heart of the house is in the kitchen
A family larger than life
Newspaper clippings, letters, pills, matches and photographs
A boy, a man and wife
And a breeze brings the world from outside
A screeching cocky with a long memory
Now we’re popping fuchsia petals down the side
It’s all alive now in me
Beautiful memory
Beautiful White Street
Carefully opening your crystal cabinet
There’re precious things that too easily break
And now I see you dozing by the window in your chair
Are you awake?
And I close my eyes on this window that I stepped through
Thinking if these walls could talk,
They’d tell a lifetime of you
Beautiful memory
Beautiful White Street
Beautiful Memory
Beautiful White Street
I’ll be gone
Wake up
Get my clothes and do my make up
Take the road I always take down to the train
Good morning boys
I watch you
When I know I want to touch you
Never told you just how much I needed your love
And now I’ll be gone
I’ll be gone
So close your eyes when the sun goes down tonight
It’s my goodbye
I’ve never been driven
It was just a way to make a living
I always said that I’d be giving this away
But I’ll be here again
Tomorrow, again
I remember when you’d hold me
Through the winter, bitter cold
We were together when you told me you’d stay
And now I’ll be gone
I’ll be gone
So close your eyes when the stars come out to shine
It’s my goodbye
Close your eyes just before the sky is light
It’s my goodbye
Goodbye
Fallen angel boy
Fell from grace, no-one took your place
You took it so hard you don’t even remember
On the floor, looking out the door
Saying ‘strange things happen in September’
Ah me, what’s it going to be?
You’ll be making waves whatever you do
You’re on your feet, back out on the street
I guess some things never meant much to you
Fallen angel boy
My fallen angel boy
Now you try to catch my eye
I don’t know why, but I don’t know where to look
See, now you know – everywhere I go
I’d always follow the road wherever it took me
Ah you, what are you going to do?
You always made a scene wherever you went
You made up your mind, left everything behind
To go where no-one had been on your big adventure
Fallen angel boy
My fallen angel boy
Fell so far from a shooting star
Should be old enough to know now
Fell from grace, now you’re lost in space
And there’s so far to go now
My fallen angel
Fallen angel boy
Fell from grace, no-one took your place
You took it so hard you don’t even remember
On the floor, looking out the door
Saying ‘strange things happen in September’
Ah you, what are you going to do?
You always made a scene wherever you went
You made up your mind, left everything behind
To go where no-one had been on your big adventure
Fallen angel boy
My fallen angel boy
Fell so far from a shooting star
And you’re old enough to know now
Out of place, you’re lost in space
But there’s not far to go now
My fallen angel
Fallen angel boy
Stop the Merry-Go-Round
There it is – reach out and take it
It’s up to us to make or break it
Time’s moving fast
And the chance could pass us by
CHORUS:
I don’t want to be waiting for a lifetime
I don’t want to wait forever for the right place, right time
Don’t want to be sitting on the sidelines watching the parade
Don’t want to be out on the edges selling lemonade
So let me down
Stop the Merry-go-round
We’re a dangerous mix – cogs and spanners
We don’t sit up straight
We forget our manners
This doesn’t have to be our lot
There’s much more than we’ve got out there
CHORUS
We’ll take what we can – steal, beg or borrow
Start living like there’s no tomorrow
The world is our oyster
And we’ve got the choice tonight
CHORUS x 2
Fall for you
Cold night, cold hands I hold tight
Our first romance, we go out dancing in the street
See through me, confuse and undo me
I feel it everywhere, from my head down to my feet
Hey, I feel it – there’s no mistaking
Hey, I feel it – no shadow of doubt
I fall for you
When we’re dancing in the street
I fall for you
From my head down to my feet
I fall for you
Fall for you
The right time, once in a lifetime
Where I can see forever when I look into your eyes
Forever, we’re in this together
The blind leading the blind, having the time of our lives
Hey, I feel it – there’s no mistaking
Hey, I feel it – no shadow of doubt
I fall for you
When I look into your eyes
I fall for you
Having the time of our lives
I fall for you
Fall for you
We hold hands, now wrinkled and old hands
But I still see the boy you were In the man that you’ve become
Hold me, touch and unfold me
We’ve lived a lifetime and we’ve only just begun
And hey, I feel it – there’s no mistaking
Hey, I feel it – no shadow of doubt
I fall for you
And the man that you’ve become
I fall for you
And we’ve only just begun
I fall for you
Fall for you
Take my breath away
Well I suppose it’s not over yet
Cause I know the more I try, the less that I forget
The times we had – some good, and some so bad
The lies we hid in the dark
Well I admit, more than once you’ve been on my mind
And I regret, the less I face the more I leave behind
So many things I’ll miss – we were best friends, did it have to come to this?
Our first kiss, oh my love
CHORUS:
Do you remember how you took my breath away?
Cause I still think about you
And I try to find the words to say goodbye and walk away
But you take my breath away
Well I guess leaving now doesn’t mean I love you any less
I can’t forget - and I try, but how can I forgive
The first lie and all the things that led to this goodbye
You say just one more try, but where have you been?
CHORUS
Blind faith was only for a while
Was I too late finding the fear behind your smile?
It was the way we were, and I breathe out as I let it go
Seems the more we learned, the less we’d know
I remember how you took my breath away
And I still think about you
But now I know I’ve found a way to say goodbye
And walk away
How many roads
Like a first love, but it’s the last chance
Wish I’d got it together to get up to dance
But I let you go without a second glance
And now you’re on the last plane home
But I’ll find the first star to lead me to the river
And take me down to the ocean blue
I’ll leave a message for the setting sun
To take around the world to you
CHORUS:
How many roads to my love?
How many ways to read the signs?
I couldn’t do it
I couldn’t do it
I couldn’t find a way to lead me to it
How many roads to my love?
It’s in the first light of the new day
Thought you’d be lost for words to say
But you call my name and now you’re on your way
Kenmare to Jubilee
So take the first train to leave the station
And take you out to the open sea
Put a message in a bottle there
And send it home to me
CHORUS
There you are
Like a vision you stand
Hand in pocket
Looks like we got it all
I’ll fall at your feet
Baby, now you’ve got all of me
How many roads to my love?
How many ways to read the signs?
I couldn’t do it
I couldn’t do it
Until I found the one to lead me to it
How many roads to my love?
Just the way you are
We started out with good intentions
High spirits, bad directions
We were lost before we even reached the border
Watching the sun set like fire into the water
CHORUS:
Hold on it won’t be long now,
Hold on it won’t be long
Hold on it won’t be long now
If we began again
I wouldn’t change a thing
I love you just the way you are
It’s getting late, we’re heading nowhere
But that’s OK, I’ve always wanted to go there
So we’re on the road again to don’t know where yet
Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
CHORUS
And so we watch the road unravel
And see it’s not where we go but how we travel
We pass the overnight train passengers yawning
At this rate we’ll be home before the morning
CHORUS
Without you
As much as I don’t admit it
I think about you every minute, now I’m out here
Without you
And as much as I ignore it
I’m reminiscing this much more than I should
Now I’m without you
But now it’s late and I’m out of time
And I can’t get you out of my mind
Without you, though I know my way
Without you, though there’s more time in the day
Without you
Without you
I’m broken hearted, broken hearted, broken hearted
I want you to know that I’m a big girl now
I want to show the whole world how I’ll be alright now
Without you
So I walk with my head held high
But I’m just no good at denying I don’t want to be me
Without you
So I try to think of something else instead
But I can’t get you out of my head
Without you, though I know I’m free
Without you, there’s only me
Without you
Without you
I’m broken hearted, broken hearted broken…
Enough about this – I’m tired and I’m through
Enough about that – Is there nothing else to do?
These broken hearts lying on the floor
And I don’t want to be here any more…
So I let go somehow
I wish that you could see me now
Without you, the sun still rises
Without you, the world is full of surprises
Without you, I know my way
Without you, there’s more time in the day
Without you, I know I’m free
Without you, there’s only me
There’s only me
There’s only me
There’s only…
