I JUST KNOW THAT IT CAN HAPPEN
Written by Loz Taylor and Richard Gibbons
Verse:
Let me tell you something baby
It ain’t easy when the chips are down
But that’s the price I have to pay my baby
When the dreams that dance around my head
Weigh heavy like some bloody, thorny crown
Shoot me a smile now baby
Coz it ain’t easy when I’m losing sleep
And tell me that you love me baby
Before the hopes that sit inside my heart
Turn to the fears that heroes shouldn’t keep
Chorus:
I just know that it can happen
I’ve played this part a thousand times
But life don’t follow no set pattern
Like there’s no reason to its rhymes
Pull me closer now
I see the road ahead
Let’s go together before
All is done and said
I just know that it can happen
No matter what the others say
All that’s needed is a passion
That will last forever
And help us on our way
Verse:
Let me tell you something baby
It ain’t easy holdin’ out for more
But that’s a price worth payin’ baby
If the dreams that dance around my head
Stay close instead of headin’ out the door
Blow me a kiss now baby
Coz it ain’t easy seein’ you waitin’ by
And hold my hand real tight now baby
Before the hopes that sit inside my heart
Fade slowly like a light in distant sky
Chorus
I just know that it can happen
I’ve played this part a thousand times
But life don’t follow no set pattern
Like there’s no reason to its rhymes
Pull me closer now
I see the road ahead
Lets go together before
All is done and said
I just know that it can happen
No matter what the others say
All that’s needed is a passion
That will last forever
And help us on our way
Musical Bridge …
Repeat Chorus …

The Storm
If I think now
Am I really thinking
Or is it just a programme in my mind
When I remember
Is it you I’m seeing
I used to be so sure, sure of my mind
I remember well how you could be so warm
How you could always come back to yourself
But now there only seems to be the calm before the storm
Oh and of course…the storm itself
What I suspect
Is you’ve taken her somewhere
Buried her somewhere I’ll never find
Yet I still see her
Somewhere in your shadow
Deep within the shadows
That play with my mind
I remember well how you could be so warm
How you could always come back to yourself
But now there only seems to be the calm before the storm
Oh and of course…the storm itself
you’ve carried this torch from the cradle
And I’ll carry its weight till I die
I only wish I knew who it was for
For you or for her that I cry
I remember well how you could be so warm
How you could always come back to yourself
But now there only seems to be the calm before the storm
Oh and of course…the storm itself

Lonely Man
Feet tappin’ on the morning train daydreamin’ daydreamin
I see your smiling’ face again daydreamin’, I’m sweat dreamin’
And in my head the seats are free and the crowd is always on it’s feet for me, on it’s feet for me.
Sittin’ at my desk today daydreamin’ daydreamin’
That you willl come and hear me play daydreamin’, I’m sweet dreamin’
I hope that what you’re doing’s fun cause we’ve been typing all the morning long all the morning long.
I’m such a lonely man caught up in my web of dreams
I only hope I can, sort it out before it seems
I’ve left it all too late wouldn’t it be great to see the crowd come pourin’ in
Wouldn’t it be great oh wouldn’t it be great to see the crowds come pourin’ in
I’d throw away these chains and feel easy in my skin.
And sittin’ in the bar tonight daydreamin’ daydreamin’
Wonderin’ where you are tonight daydreamin’ sad feelings
Another band another man will be keeping your attention all night long
All the night time long
Standin’ on the empty stage daydreamin’ daydreamin’
It’s like starin’ at an empty page daydreamin’ times stealin’
Has my 15 minutes come and gone
Did the clouds roll over my day in the sun, my day in the sun.
I’m such a lonely man caught up in my web of dreams
I only hope I can, sort it out before it seems
I’ve left it all too late wouldn’t it be great to see the crowd come pourin’ in
Wouldn’t it be great oh wouldn’t it be great to see you come walkin’ in
I’d throw away these chains and feel easy in my skin.

The last Plane (A Journey)
Once again today a Hercules will leave the desert sand
And as it flies a giant shadow falls on England’s pleasant land
Carrying the weight of the world
On its aged and aching shoulders
Once again its mighty metal wings
Will home to its final resting place bring
Another hero, who will grow
No older
Let this plane be the last to fly
Let this mother be the last to fly
Let this soldier be the last to fly
Oh let this Plane be the last to fly
Let this plane be the last to fly
Far away today in shattered streets the innocents will grieve
And prey the ones who brought them hope don’t turn the lights out when they leave
So let the only trigger squeezed
Be the trigger of your conscience eased
Not by the tears of feigning sorrow
Or by the counting of the cost
But by an end to wars
That can’t be won
Only lost
Let this plane be the last to fly
Let this mother be the last to fly
Let this soldier be the last to fly
Oh let this Plane be the last to fly
Let this plane be the last to fly
Let this plane be the last to fly
Let this plane be the last to fly
Let this plane be the last to fly
Let this plane be the last to fly

The Crime
Written by Richard Gibbons
Breathing smoke telling jokes
You drink to make the night slow
Telling lies you’re breaking ties
But you’ll never let the girl know
You love her, yes you love her
But there’s danger there this time
You want her, yes you want her
But to ask would be the crime
Spinning lines, you talk in rhymes
But you cant say what you want to
You look and long but not too long
Or you may see just what you’ve come to
You know him, care for him
Hell you’ve been close for years now
He doesn’t love her you know he doesn’t love her
And for you that’s the killing blow
Spinning lines, you talk in rhymes
But you cant say what you want to
You look and long but not too long
Or you may see just what you’ve come to
Hating truth, yeah you’re losing youth
You know the dangers if you ask her
So you slowly put the bullets in
It’s not the truth but its an answer
Spinning lines, you talk in rhymes
But you cant say what you want to
You look and long but not too long
Or you may see just what you’ve come to
Hating truth, yeah you’re losing youth
You know you have no answers this time
So you slowly put, the bullets in………..

Sugar Sweetness
I sit here locked in my office
But with a window out on the crowd
I know its not much of an office
But it will have to do me for now
She goes about town every day
Dressed up just like a flower
Her smile drives the rain clouds away
And all the guys fall under her power
Sugar sweetness
My hearts weakness
Sugar sweetness
My incompleteness
She skips along ever so lightly
Her hair shines bright as the sun
There’s no one coming to meet her
And the clock says quarter to one
I hurry down from my office
At the same time every day
To try to capture a flower
That the wind has carried away
Sugar sweetness
My hearts weakness
Sugar sweetness
My incompleteness
Sugar sweetness
My hearts weakness
Sugar sweetness
My incompleteness
I sit here locked in my office
But with a window out on the crowd
I know it’s not much of an office
But it will have to do me for now.
Sugar sweetness
My hearts weakness
Sugar sweetness
My incompleteness
Sugar sweetness
My hearts weakness
Sugar sweetness
My incompleteness
Sugar sweetness
My hearts weakness
Sugar sweetness
My incompleteness

Every Single Word
You left on Monday morning
I couldn’t help but think it kinda strange
Thought you’d choose a Friday babe
Give me time to sit and wonder why
Give me time to realize my crimes
I heard a song on Tuesday evening’
I couldn’t help but think it kinda strange
Listenin’ to a young girl singin’
“I’d rather feel the hurt than nothing’ at all”
Hell don’t she know that’s what the drugs are for
I figure she just ain’t been hurt before
You said we’ve said it all
You said it wasn’t me but you
Every cliché you could think of
But not a single word rang true
I met a guy on Wednesday morning’
I couldn’t help but think him kinda strange
Moanin’ bout his old girl’s talkin’
And how he loved to curse her now and then
But couldn’t wait to have her back again
You said we’ve said it all
You said it wasn’t me but you
Every cliché you could think of
But not a single word rang true
I saw a guy on Thursday evening’
I couldn’t help but think it kinda strange
Staring at him in the mirror
Even though his guilty look’s the same
Ain’t it funny how a man can change
You came back Friday morning’
I couldn’t help but think it kinda strange
Why I just stood there cryin’
You never asked what I was cryin’ for
You just turned around and closed the door
And when you turned around and closed that door
I knew I couldn’t love you any more
You said we haven’t said it all
You said it’s time for me and you
Every cliché you could think of
But when you told me that you’d thought it through
And you told me that your love was true
Then every single word rang true
Every Single Word
You left on Monday morning
I couldn’t help but think it kinda strange

Three Wishes
Thinking back to when they tried to take the life out of me.
At barely 17 I thought that I was all I’d ever be, that I was all I’d ever be.
The brightest lights don’t always have to shine upon the city streets.
I hide a light inside my heart and you will see it when it beats, yes you will see it when it beats.
I found no god up in the heaven or little Jesus in the lights.
But I found Genies in the bottles that I drank from every night, that I drank from every night.
And I would dream of how their magic would come and help me in my fight.
And I would shout out my three wishes to the echoes of the night, to the echoes of the night.
Three wishes a summertime that never leads to fall
Three wishes no one to say that we can’t have it all
Three wishes to never see my shadow on their walls
Three wishes
Three wishes
Three wishes
When I awoke I found my life had changed in so many ways.
I found a strength in me that stayed with me all of my days, it would stay with me all my days.
Now I don’t know just where it came from and I don’t try to understand
But now my light is shining brightly and my future’s in my hands, yeah my future’s in my hands.
Three wishes a summertime that never leads to fall
Three wishes no one to say that we can’t have it all
Three wishes to never see my shadow on their walls
Three wishes
Three wishes
Three wishes
I see a girl now she is dreaming and I see heaven in her face.
And as the lights of Paris flicker I wonder how I found this place, I wonder how I found this place.
Would I be even more alive if I knew how the dice would fall.
And if you offered me three wishes, would I hold or risk them all, would I hold or risk them all??
Three wishes a summertime that never leads to fall
Three wishes no one to say that we can’t have it all
Three wishes to never see my shadow on their walls
Three wishes
Three wishes
Three wishes

Something Better Than this
Verse 1
Sleeping under the bridge tonight my cardboard box has room service
Sun is hot but colds the light that drags you from your dreams caress
Got no job you’re money’s spent…better go and get one
No address no six months rent, a kind word from no one
Chorus
I don’t know if there’s something you believe, I don’t know if there’s something
I don’t know if there’s something you believe, I don’t know if there’s something
But anything has gotta be better than this
Verse 2
You’re back walking the city streets rubbing the gold from the pavements
Checkin’ out the gents you meet, you’re making strange arrangements
When you left your family, did you hope to buy another
But did the walls of the hostelry, hold a Father, or a Mother?
Chorus
I don’t know if there’s something you believe, I don’t know if there’s something
I don’t know if there’s something you believe, I don’t know if there’s something
But anything has gotta be better than this.
And if there’s something, keep it inside
Try to take courage, from the light that you hide
And if it should falter, fade and grow dim
You must keep it burnin’
Or the knife will twist again.
Verse 3
Sacrificial virgins wait on the alter of corruption
Their minds all but replaced by hate
Feels the knife that twists inside them
Chorus
I don’t know if there’s something you believe, I don’t know if there’s something
I don’t know if there’s something you believe, I don’t know if there’s something
But anything has gotta be better than this
anything has gotta be better than this
I said anything has gotta be better than this

ANGEL CARDS
VERSE:
I pray
That you will lay
Your angel cards
In front of me
And that they
Will come to say
You’ll stay by my side
Another day
Another day
Another day
VERSE:
The night
It is so long
And your hand in mine
It grows so cold
I look
Into your eyes
And I see a love
That was foretold
That was foretold
That was foretold
CHORUS:
Yes I’ll believe in fairytales
In angel cards
And flying whales
If that my love
Will keep me close to you-oo-oo
Coz God help me
I don’t know what to do-oo-oo
I don’t know what to do.
Verse:
I stroke
Your long, soft hair
As the angel cards
Slip to the floor
I look
At your still face
And I feel a hurt
Not known before
Not known before
Not known before
CHORUS:
Yes I’ll believe in fairytales
In angel cards
And flying whales
If that my love
Will keep me close to you-oo-oo
Coz God help me
I don’t know what to do-oo-oo
I don’t know what to do.
SOFT RAP:
Teardrops falling
Can’t you hear her calling
Asking you to be so strong
Daybreak dawning
See a songbird soaring
Nothing else can do her wrong
Verse:
A nurse
Who’s waiting by
Puts her hand on mine
It feels so warm
I look
At her sad face
And she sees my tears
That are new born
That are new born
That are new born
CHORUS:
Yes I’ll believe in fairytales
In angel cards
And flying whales
If that my love
Will keep me close to you-oo-oo
Coz God help me
I don’t know what to do-oo-oo
I don’t know what to do.
SOFT RAP:
Teardrops falling
Can’t you hear her calling
Asking you to be so strong
Daybreak dawning
See a songbird soaring
Nothing else can do her wrong
CHORUS:
Yes I’ll believe in fairytales
In angel cards
And flying whales
If that my love
Will keep me close to you-oo-oo
Coz God help me
I don’t know what to do-oo-oo
I don’t know what to do.
I don’t know what to do.
I don’t know what to do.
