You Oughta Be In Love

A winning love is hard enough to find
And when you've got it, never leave it behind
Hold on, and give it all you have
When it's given back, you'll be a powerful man
And well, here she comes
In walks my baby
Her smile's more than enough to tell me why
Shouldn't you oughta be in love
Wouldn't you rather be in love
Shouldn't you oughta be in love
Wouldn't you rather be in love
With the headlights- up above- you light my way
Safe in my heart- I'll never be led astray
When you wanna leave the troubled world behind you
Pack up your woes- and worries- and never you mind
And well, here she comes
In walks my baby
Her smile's more than enough to tell me why...
Shouldn't you oughta be in love
Wouldn't you rather be in love
Shouldn't you oughta be in love
Wouldn't you rather be in love
You oughta be in love- You oughta be in love- You oughta be in love
You oughta be in love- You oughta be in love- You oughta be in love
You oughta be in love- You oughta be in love
Shouldn't you oughta be in love
Wouldn't you rather be in love
Shouldn't you oughta be in love
Wouldn't you rather be in love

Slice Of Heaven

Hey, I got a lot of faith in you
I'll stick with you kid- that's the bottom line
Yeah, you have a lot of fun don't you
And living with you is a ball of a time
Hey beauty when the mood gets you down
Your bottom lip's near dragging on the ground
That's when I gotta play the clown for you
Black humour made you kick your blues

Howdy Angel
Where did you hide your wings
Her love shines over my horizon- she's a slice of heaven
Warm moonlight over my horizon- she's a slice of heaven

Hey, I gotta lotta faith in you
I'll stick with you kid- that's the bottom line
Yeah, we have a lot of fun don't we
And heaven has to be with you all the time
Hey beauty when the mood gets you down
Your bottom lip's near dragging on the ground
That's when I gotta play the clown for you
Black humour made me kick my blues

Howdy Angel
Where did you hide your wings
Her love shines over my horizon- she's a slice of heaven
Warm moonlight over my horizon- she's a slice of heaven

Language

My hands are tied
Oh I could be a victim
When my tongue won't move
You have tied with your heartstrings
When I needed you most
I couldn't find the language
When I needed you more
I couldn't say a word
My hands truly tied
Yeah I know I'm a prisoner
When my tongue wouldn't move
You have tied with your heartstrings again
And when I needed you most
I couldn't find the language
When I needed you more
I couldn't say a word
When I needed you most
I couldn't find the language
When I needed you more
I couldn't say a word
One day a heap on the ground
Next day I'm so proud
Today I don't know - I don't know
Hey
Your hands are cold
That's why I try to contain you
Now my words are cursed
Ember from the ashes
One day a heap on the ground
Next day I'm so proud
Today - I haven't got a clue
Feels like a river of tears
Today I'm gonna dry these eyes
No
When I needed you more
Couldn't say a word
Couldn't say a word

Waiting

If you've been waiting- You've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could go on forever- Yeah
You've been waiting- You've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could hold it all together
Your mind real wild

Way south of any bordered country
In a land where the darkness is slow turning
In the twilight of a postcard island lie
Little ashtrays of industrial dreams
And you- Yeah you- Stranded on the moon
Just to keep it all in the back of your head
While you zoom- Consume- Little laughter from the gloom
Just to keep it all in the back of your head now

If you've been waiting- you've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could go on forever- Yeah
And you've been waiting- you've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could hold it all together
The world unwinds and your mind keeps a spinning out

In the chaos of a river thrashing
All that water and still got to stand in line
Everything you ever wanted truly
In a word carved in stone just beyond your touch
Touch- Thank you very much
Just to keep it all in the back of my head
While you zoom consume- Little bandits on the moon
Just to keep it all in the back of your head
Well the world's unkind I am here to remind you

If you've been waiting- You've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could go on forever- Yeah
If you've been waiting- You've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could hold it all together
The world unwinds and your mind keeps a-spinning out

A fine line's been drawn here
Your tidy world has exploded into pieces
A songline's been sung here- It's part of you
It's in blood and tattooed to your heart

If you've been waiting- You've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could go on forever- Yeah
You've been waiting- You've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could hold it all together- Yeah
You've been waiting- You've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could go on forever- now
If you've been waiting- You've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could
Just when you thought you could go on
Hah- Oh
You've been waiting too long
Spinning out a line
Your mind keeps spinning out a line
You've been waiting too long
Too

Hanging In The Wire

The marine forecast looks clean for a couple of days in a row now
Well ain't that just dandy
Come make yourself right at home now
Whatever you need for your redemption
Anything you want I can supply
Whatever you need for your redemption
Well I wouldn't want to leave you hanging in the wire
No way baby

When I'm daydreaming with you
My favourite worthy pursuit
I'll take you to town in your new suit and later we'll listen to a
New kind of blue
Whatever you need for your redemption
Anything you want I can supply
Whenever you need avoid detection
Well I wouldn't wanna leave you dangling in the wire
Whatever you need for your redemption
Anything you want I can supply
Whenever you need for your protection
Well I wouldn't wanna leave you dangling in the wire

And there's no grander gesture there
In your familiar lack of future
No super-highway here

Take my car keys and go out wild on the highway
They say a man don't become one
Till the reaper's near upon him

Whatever you need for your protection
Anything you want I can supply
Whatever you need for your redemption
Well I wouldn't want to leave you hanging in the wire
