I like small speakers - I like tall speakers
If they've music - they've wired for sound

Walkin' about with a head full of music
Cassette in my pocket and I'm gonna use it-stereo
- out on the street you know - woh oh woh...

Into the car go to work I'm cruisin'
I never think that I'll blow all my fuses
Traffic flows-into the breakfast show - woh oh woh...

Power from the needle to the plastic
A.M. - F.M. I feel so ecstatic now
It's music I've found
And I'm wired for sound

I was small boy who don't like his toys
I could not wait to get wired for sound

I met a girl and she told me she loved me
I said you love me then love means you must like what I like-
My music is dynamite - woh oh woh...

She said - I'm not a girl you put on at a stand by
I am a girl who demands that her love is amplified
Switch in to overdrive-woh oh woh

Power from the needle to the plastic
A.M. - F.M. I feel so ecstatic now
It's music I've found
And I'm wired for sound

. . .


Once in a while

I think of this - most every night
How hard it is to get it alright
I'm lookin' here and I'm lookin' there
I see heart broken pieces everywhere

Wouldn't you try wouldn't you know
Try so hard still you let it all go
Too much trouble too much pain
I think I'm gonna have that luck again

What'll I do if you walk away
What'll I do if you walk away
Well I haven't a chance
No I haven't a chance

Once in a while I get this feelin'
Now and again I'm all in a daze
Time after time I ask myself this
Will you walk away?
Once in a while I get this feelin'

Seems all day and night time too
I don't belong I'm just passin' through
I guess you're right I think too much
Still in all - I miss your touch

A crazy notion a careless thought
I start to worry and time gets short
Well think of this my dear young one
The time to act has just begun

What'll I do if you walk away
What'll I do if you walk away
Well I haven't a chance
No I haven't a chance

. . .


Better than I knoe myself

You were there - at the moment I began
When the child became a man
Saw my future in the making - saw the path my life was taking
You saw a million things I'll never understand

You know me better than I know myself
Better than I know myself
Time after time you've shown it to be true
That no one loves me like you

You are here so let it rain or let it shine
You are with me all the time
When I'm waking - When I'm sleeping
In the secret thoughts I'm keeping
You know everything about this heart of mine

You know me better than I know myself
Better than I know myself
Time after time you've shown it to be true
That no one loves me like you

You'll be there - when the end of time has come
And I know you'll take me home
So I thank you for tomorrow
All my joys and all my sorrows
And I thank you for the greatest thing I've known

You know me better than I know myself
Better than I know myself
Time after time you've shown it to be true
That no one loves me like you

. . .


Oh no, don't let go

Oh no, don't let go - all I need is a little more time
Oh no, don't let go - everything is gonna be fine
I just need some time
Give me a little more time - so don't let go

Oh well night after night I'm a little confused
I can't seem to get it right still I might
With a little assistance and a piece of your love
Get closer to your heart
Well at least it would be a start - so don't let go

Oh no, don't let go - all I need is a little more time
Oh no, don't let go - everything is gonna be fine
I just need some time
Give me a little more time - so don't let go

Well I'll try - I mean I will attempt to negotiate
This little incline -
Whoops there's a hill and another spectacular chance
For me to be -
Once again with you and I know I'll make it through
So don't let go

Oh no, don't let go - all I need is a little more time
Oh no, don't let go - everything is gonna be fine
I just need some time
Give me a little more time - so don't let go

Cos I love that rock'n'roll

Where has all that Rock'n'roll gone
Oh won't somebody tell me where?
'Cos it used to be when I was young
That you could hear them playing it everywhere
But now it seems they're all so hooked on fashion
The music's taken second place
Everyone it seems has one obsession
To beat the others in the race
And it just don't feel right to me
No no it just don't feel right to me

'Cos I love that Rock'n'roll too much
And I don't wanna see it ever waving goodbye
Yeah I love that Rock'n'roll too too much
And I couldn't bear to see it go by
Rock'n'roll you're too much to deny

Oh where has all that music gone
There must be some mistake
From something that was so much fun
They were burning bridges in their wake
O.K. everything has got to keep changing
I know it has to be that way
But isn't it too high a price we're paying
We're losing most of yesterday
And it just don't feel right to me

Broken doll

Ooh she's just a broken doll - she ain't no
Use at all - since you've been gone

Ooh she's just a broken toy - she's no ones
Pride and joy - look what you've done

You had her on a string
You made a fool of her
And that's an awful thing
She thought she'd paid her fare
Now you've gone and you just don't care

You can't wind her up - she's a broken doll
You can't wind her up - altough the key fits
You can't wind her up - she's a broken doll
Someone's thrown away all the pieces

Now you've played your wicked game
Don't you feel no shame
Look what you've done!

Now she's just a broken girl while you're
All around the world - having your fun

She had you in her heart
You made a fool of her right from the very start
She thought she'd paid her fare
Now you've gone and you just don't care

You can't wind her up - she's a broken doll
You can't wind her up - altough the key fits
You can't wind her up - she's a broken doll
Someone's thrown away all the pieces

Ooh she's just a broken toy - she's no ones
Pride and joy - look what you've done

You had her on a string
You made a fool of her
And that's an awful thing
She thought she'd paid her fare
Now you've gone and you just don't care

Lost in a lonely world

Tomorrow never comes when you are looking foward to it
You try so hard to live the day your way
But what a life if you could live the way you want it
You tried it once before but it didn't work out
You know you need someone to bring out the best in you

To be a light to you is what I intend to do
To show the way you know you ought to go
You'll see a world that will surely come into view
So take the hand that I offer to you
To see the truth that you will be no longer

Lost, lost in a lonely world (lost and lonely)
'Cos I can see that there's life in your eyes
If only you would realise
That now you don't have to settle for this
(You don't have to settle for this)
You don't have to say "There's nowhere to go"
You can find out anything you really wanna know

Summer rain

Come into my life and we will walk the road together
Happy with you I know I'll be
Someday you'll find me so that I'll belong to you

Prepare yourself so to receive the love I give you
Happy to share now I'm aware of how much I need you
To be part of me oh can't you see that

Summer rain will come again so the
Harvest is a good one
But if you don't respond to me I am lost
You're the only hope I have to bring
Forth the fruit in season
Now I know I need you to survive

You, you are my dream - you make it seem
So very real
Taking my time, making me rhyme
When I'm walking again to find I cannot see the one
To whom I call - that I may be no more alone again
Happy to share now I'm aware of how much
I need you to be part of me oh can't you see that

Summer rain will come again so the
Harvest is a good one
But if you don't respond to me I am lost
You're the only hope I have to bring
Forth the fruit in season
Now I know I need you to survive

Young love

There are times - when you know
Love is lost to he who hesitates and you've got that
Feeling now you know it too well
Say O.K. - to your dreams
Never let that chance go by again
If it's love you need then listen and listen well

You've got to run like a young love
You've got to love like young love
Believe me you'll be a young love
You don't need to be anymore
You can think like a young love
Be strong like a young love
You can run like a young love
You don't need to be anymore

Live it now - everyday
'Cos you know there is no better way
And in time you'll understand it's all in your heart
Lightning strikes - in the rain
But you know inside you're strong again
You can hear the thunder roll
But you stand apart

You've got to run like a young love
You can love like young love
Believe me you'll be a young love
You don't need to be anymore
As long as you think like a young love
Be strong like a young love
You can run like a young love
You don't need to be anymore

. . .


You're my love
You're my angel
You're the girl of my dreams
And I'd like to thank you
For waiting patiently

Daddy's home - daddy's home - to stay

How I've waited for this moment
To be by your side
Your best friend wrote and told me
You had tear drops in your eyes

Daddy's home - daddy's home - to stay

It wasn't on a Sunday
(Monday and Tuesday went by)
It wasn't on a Tuesday afternoon
(All I could do was cry)
But I made a promise
That you treasure
And I made it back home to you

How I've waited for this moment
To be by your side
Your best friend wrote and told me
You had tear drops in your eyes

Daddy's home - daddy's home - to stay.....
Daddy's home - to stay.....
I'm not a thousand miles away

. . .


Say you don't mind

I feel I'm taking up all of your time
And i still can't work it out, wheter or not you mind
Say you still need my love and I will be strong
Just say that you're O.K. and I'll carry on
Say you don't mind

Well I need to show my love of that I am sure
Just let me feel you close, closer than before
I'm feeling better now, now that you're near
Just let me say the things, the things you want to hear
Say you don't mind

'Cos I'm waking up - been shaken up
And I'm thrilled that I know you
I need to love - can't give enough
And all because you do - everything right to me can't you see
Say you don't mind

. . .

Hold on

Love show me the way when I am lost and hope begins
To fade
Love timeless and true whenever
I need strenght
I look to you
Tonight my faith is strong enough to see me through
Tonight you've got to trust in love the way I do
We gotta hold on tight-tonight

Hold on - nothing's gonna stop us if we just
Believe in love
Hold on - there's nothing under heaven we can't overcome-
hold on

Now I see the way the tide'll turn and
The part I'll play
(It's) all part of a plan - you don't have to know
Or understand Tonight I'll see it all unfold before my eyes
Tonight - with fortune on my side and love to
Guide me
The future is looking bright - tonight

Hold on - nothings gonna stop us if we just
Believe in love
Hold on - there's nothing under heaven we can't
Overcome so hold on
And tho' the road ahead maybe unknown we'll
Make it if we hold on
