Two Weeks 03:59
TWO WEEKS It choked me up to see you go See your look as you waved from the platform I never loved you more than now Not to have is to know how much I need you But it’s only two weeks that I’ll be missing you And surely that won’t be too long Only two weeks that ‘til I’ll be kissing you But my love for you was just too strong I’d close my eyes to sleep at night Ceaseless thoughts stole my rested tomorrow And when I woke I’d find you gone Just a dream gone some place I couldn’t follow But it’s only two weeks that I’ll be missing you And surely that won’t be too long Only two weeks that ‘til I’ll be kissing you But my love for you was just too strong And I jumped aboard the train that I had watched from 10 floors up To the west was where I’d find you to the west Those wheels of steel kept rolling ‘til I finally was with you by the Sea Hand in hand along a pebble beach, you showed me all the places you called home and we shared ice-cream and had chips and when we kissed where the river met the Sea… that was you and me The time came and I had to go Pack my bags and head back to Southampton I missed you from the first goodbye Held you close and tried hard to remember That it’s only one week that I’ll be missing you And surely that won’t be too long Only one week ‘til I’ll be kissing you Just five days until I’d see you again And come Friday I was counting every minute ‘til I saw you But the Sun was in no hurry in the Sky I rushed through all my numbers and ran back to find you waiting You came back to me You came back to me

Summer Sun 03:11
SUMMER SUN Oh, feel the summer Sun kiss your skin. Take your hat off to the sky, that endless blue, that ripples without breeze Your rainy day forgotten, let those rays of warmth take you away. Sunlight, kiss / The Sun, the Sun, kissed by the Sun

Funk It Up 02:56
FUNK IT UP Funk it up, Funk it up, I don't want to see a single person standing still Funk it up, funk it up, You've got to feel that funky groove, let that sexy body move. You see me and my crew we got it all worked out, Listen to the groove; we know what it's about A good time playing the music we know Let the music flow (funk it up) Funk it up get on down it's easy We don't give a funk if you're doing it sleazy Shake it around and do as you please If you promise that you ain't going to make us queasy! Let me hear you say it again, get on down and shake those hips, and open your lips!

SOMEONE I'D BEEN LOOKING FOR Did you know what you were asking, when you said that you wanted me? That this time I wouldn’t cross the distance On the chance that you might be Someone I’d been looking for Someone I’d not seen before Somebody who could set me free But now is not the time for love Did I know what I was saying, when I said that we wouldn’t work? When I said I couldn’t cross the distance Cus I though that you might be Someone I’d been looking for Someone I’d not seen before Somebody who could set me free Have I made a huge mistake?

Boogie Beat 02:54
BOOGIE BEAT Boogie beat your tallywacker Tug like it's a christmas cracker Not too tight, a little slacker We aim to please, we aim to knacker Keep in time, no syncopation, Or thoughts about a close relation Boogie beat, a smooth sensation (a smooth sensation) Take your pick, take your time Double time if you like it quick If you've got all day and got all night Do the boogie beat, like dynamite 'cause I'm getting on with the boogie beat Getting on with the boogie beat Uh, getting on with the boogie beat A cmon, getting on with the boogie beat Boogie beat your fat burrito Limber up your choice chorizo It's getting hard to stay on your feet So maybe you'd better stay on your feet 'cause we're getting on with the boogie beat I said, getting on with the boogie beat A cmon, getting on with the boogie beat Getting on with the boogie beat, UH!

O mistress mine, where are you roaming? O stay and hear, your true love's coming, That can sing both high and low. Trip no further, pretty sweeting: Journeys end in lovers meeting, Every wise mans son doth know What is love? 'Tis not hereafter, Present mirth hath present laughter: What's to come is still unsure. In delay there lies no plenty, Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty, Youth's a stuff will not endure

Water 02:35
WATER Did you ever stop to think the water that you drink might have a past, It might have been the wave that killed a thousand people in the Spring, It's been around since long before we walked the Earth, and now it's in your glass… As ice it might have been snow from in the arctic circle, It could have been in your Mum's icecream nearly thirty years ago, It might have carved it's way through rock in the ice-age, and now it's in your glass… (piano solo) It might have been the condensation that I breathed when I was five, A cloud that made a lightning strike while over eastern Asia, There are so many places that it could have been, but now it's in your glass… Maybe it spent a thousand years at the bottom of the Sea, It must have spent some of its life in the middle of a tree, It also must have been in someone elses tea, Don't stop to ask… (glug, glug... aaah)

Questions 03:52
QUESTIONS If I asked you to stop fighting Said it was for your own good Would anybody listen? I don’t think they would… Would you trade the lives of innocents, for money or for oil? Do you think by being ignorant that we are any less to blame? If I said we should be thinking Not just taking someone’s word Would anybody question… …what they had overheard? Try and sell me your religion, if you think that you should But beware of those who teach you that to not believe is sin. Don’t be taken in by those who tell you that war is the only answer And do you really think the families of those who die in the name of peace will just forgive? Are we any more than terrorists if we watch the trigger pulled? If we all stood up and shouted That we wanted no more wars It wouldn’t get us closer To sorting out the cause Can you say you don’t discriminate, as you look around the room? Would you be prepared to sacrifice for the people you don’t know? Don’t be taken in by those who tell you that war is the only answer And do you really think the families of those who die in the name of peace will just forgive? Are we any more than terrorists if we watch the trigger pulled?

I AM GONE SIR and anon sir, I'll be with you again In a trice, like to the old vice, your need to sustain Who with dagger of loth, in his rage and his wroth cries "Aha", to the devil, like a mad lad, “pare thy nails dad, adieu, goodman devil.”
