Certain Shade of Blue

Well I must have had my moment
But I don't remember when.
And things are not so different now
To how they were back then.
But time passes in disguise
Blink and it is gone,
And in its wake you're wondering
Where it is you now belong.
Am I still the same within
And do I seem the same to you?
Look into these eyes and all you'll see
Is a Certain Shade of Blue.
Ask a stupid question
Pay no heed to the reply
He told her she was still
Beautiful in his eyes.
Lately I've been dreaming of the city
Dreaming of the sky
I dream an endless question
And the answer's always "Why?
Am I still the same within
And do I seem the same to you?
Look into these eyes and all you'll see
Is a Certain Shade of Blue.
Oh capture me and call me in
I'm tired of drifting through
Look into these eyes and you'll see
A Certain Shade of Blue.
I've been in hibernation
But I couldn't tell you why.
I haven't reached my destination
And I know that I must try.
I have to figure out
Just what it is I need to say.
'Cos I'm too young for my coffin,
Too warm for my own grave.
Am I still the same within
And do I seem the same to you?
Look into these eyes and all you'll see
Is a Certain Shade of Blue.
Oh capture me and call me in
I'm tired of drifting through
Look into these eyes and you'll see
A Certain Shade of Blue.

At 32

Won't you help me find
A cause to get behind
I can't do it on my own
Won't you help me be
The best that I can be
Like the one you used to know
Oh it's hard when you're paralysed by
A sense of foolish pride
And so hard to be washed up and blue
At 32
There's a hole in me
A space where you should be
Under my skin
I know that love is here
I know it's everywhere
But I can't feel it anymore
Oh it's hard when you're paralysed by a sense of foolish pride
And so hard to be washed up and blue
At 32

Naked
04:16
|

Here I stand; naked
What you see is what you get
I'm not young
Take off your lenses
Do you see beyond the skin and the bone
I could be your mother
I could be your daughter
Could be your sister, your lover your friend x2
I have been pretending
To be something that I'm not
I'm not young
I have been inauthentic,
I have stolen I have cheated
I have come undone
CHORUS: I could be etc
I won't deny my wisdom
I have paid the price of living
And I'm no longer very very young
Do you see your reflection
Do you see yourself in me, are we as one?
CHORUS

Pay the Piper
01:48
|
|||
|
Pay the piper
Pay the price
If it comes for free
It's half as nice
See what you want and you want what you see
Well you cold have her but you can't have me
And it's all very well
All very gay
But you don't get paid till Christmas day
And it won't take long
That's what you say
But we all need money for bills to pay

You're Not a Baby
02:40
|
|||
|
You're not a baby anymore and
I can't love you like I did before
You're no angel that's for sure and
You've got a lot to answer for
My my my
How time flies
Seems like you
We're never really mine
The scales have fallen from my eyes and
I can't listen to your self deluded lies
You're not a baby anymore and
I can't love you like I did before

Who's to say?
03:50

They say if a light shines
A little too brightly
It goes out quicker than the rest
Well your light shone like
Phosphorescence on
A troubled sea
Brilliant and gold
You were angry and warlike
Pitiful and childlike
Loving and cold
Who's to say
Maybe there's no p,an
Perhaps it's all just give
Either way we have to feed the day
And learn how to live
Learn how to live
They say if a song goes,
On too long
It becomes boring in the end
Well you sang your song
Loud and strong
No compromise
No lies
You were angry and war like, etc
Who's to say
Maybe there's no plan
Perhaps it's all just chance
Either way we've got to seize the day
And learn how to dance
Who's to say etc

Who's Crying Now?
04:08
|
|||
|
What could I do?
My heart went out to you
All the time in the world to be sorry now
And if we could change time
I'd be first in the queue
I'd go back to when
I first met you
Only a fool like me
Is to blind to see
I made my own prison and I
Threw away the key
Who's crying now? X3
I guess it's me
Well how could I know
You never let your true feeling show
If only I knew then
What I know now
And if we could change time
Would you still be
Quite so unkind?
I Guess I'll never know
I'll never know
Only a fool like me etc

Shame
04:11
|
|||
|
This house is our home
But what is a home without love
To keep us both warm
The feeling has died
But the spirit lives on
And though we bit try we can't hide
Something has gone
And it's a shame
Shame on you and me
But if we open our eyes wide enough
We will see
All that remains
Are a few cherished dreams
Of what could come true
If we could come through
And start again
All the love we made
Where did it all go
If you really care how's the time
To let me know
And if its too late
Well you'd better say so
Cos we can go in making plans, and telling lies
Just for show
And it's a shame etc
Is it too late
Is what I a asking you
Look me in the eyes
And tell me the truth
Cos it's a shame etc.

Some Kind of Bliss
04:42
|
|||
|
Some kind of bliss
Is what you make me feel
And more than this
I vow to make you happy
One last kiss
To mark the passage of this love
Night and day
I want to be with you
I every way
My heart is beating like a drum for you
Oh tell me that you feel the
Same way too

Poetry in Motion
03:14
|

|
Gather round you children
Here's a little piece of history
When I first met your daddy
I was wild and free
Then we got together
And made perfect harmony
Between a man and a woman
That's how it should be
Between a man and a woman
That's how it's suppose to be
And that's poetry in motion x3
Now that you are older
The big wheel of life moves on
Soon you will be finding
Partners of your own
Don't look for perfection
Individually
Cos it's harmony that matters
And that's how it should be
And that's poetry in motion etc
