Finley Quaye Album

Don't you cry for me
Don't give your life for me
All the passion and the pain
Sunshine through the rain
Don't you dance for me
Take some new stance for me
All the fashion and the fame
I heard them calling your name
Fools grow wise in fairytales
Heroes win the day
So raise your voice sing it louder now
I know you got something to say
Now that I know you got something to say
Love, love, love
Now that I know you got something to say
Love, love, love

Take it easy break the mould
Oh yeah be the wonder of it all take it easy on yourself
With regrets come consolations
Oh yeah living from this moment on
Oh yeah living from this moment on
Oh yeah living from this moment on

Don't you cry for me
Don't even give your life for me
All the passion and the pain
Sunshine through the rain
Won't you talk to me?
Come out and walk with me
You know we'll be happy
All o' the world is a stage
Fools grow wise in fairytales
A million miles away
So raise your voice sing it louder now
I know you got something to say
Now that I know you got something to say
Love, love, love
Now that I know you got something to say
Love, love, love
Now that I know you got something to say
Now that I know you got something to say
Now that I know you got something to say

I would love to get to know you more
To spend a lot of time with you
Maybe travel around with you
Because you've got such a beautiful nature
You've got a beautiful nature
You've got a beautiful nature
Singing this song to you
I would love to hold you close
Maybe rub your nose with my nose
You've got such a beautiful nature
You've got a beautiful nature
You've got a beautiful nature
Go let it shine
Girl I want to show you what you mean to me (have you really got the time?)
We should get to know each other better (have you really got the time?)
You could think about the words I'm singing
Have you got the time? Have you really got the time?

You're so sensuous it's true
Got to let you know some how
I could never turn my back on you
You've got a beautiful nature
You've got a beautiful nature
Sunshine enrapture me take some time and we will see
I just want you to be aware
You've got such a beautiful nature
You've got a beautiful nature
You've got a beautiful nature
You've got a beautiful nature
You've got a beautiful nature
You've got a beautiful nature
You've got a beautiful nature
Go let it shine, go let it shine

I was crying over you
I am smiling I think if you
Where your garden have no walls
Breathe in the air if you care, you compare, don't say farewell
Nothing can compare
To when you roll the dice and you swear that your love's for me
Nothing can compare
To when you roll the dice and you swear that your love's for me
I was crying over you
I am smiling I think if you
Misty morning and water falls
Breathe in the air if you care, you compare, don't say farewell
Nothing can compare
To when you roll the dice and you swear your love's for me
Nothing can compare
To when you roll the dice and you swear your love's for me
Nothing can compare
To when you roll the dice and you swear your love's for me
Virtuous sensibility
Escape velocity
Nothing can compare
To when you roll the dice and you swear your love's for me
Nothing can compare
To when you roll the dice and you swear your love's for me
Nothing can compare
To when you roll the dice and you swear your love's for me
Breathe in the air if you care, you compare, don't say farewell

Waiting for you

I'm searching for you,
But you're not here today.
I'm looking for you but you're not near.
Is distance, time?
I'm waiting for you.

I'm waiting and I, I'm looking
You're something else and you're good looking

I made a minor mistake,
I had it all on a plate,
You can always time distance,
Never tempt fate.
If it is late,
I felt my heart was at stake.
You could never share love....
Not in that state.

I'm waiting
I'm looking
I'm waiting
I'm looking

I'm searching for you,

I'm looking for you but you're not near.
Is distance, time?
I'm waiting for you.
I'm waiting and I, I'm looking
You're something else and you're good looking

I'm waiting and I, I'm looking

And so you have come back to me
And say the old loves growing yet
You've tried through all these weary years
You've tried so vainly to forget

Oh no, I cannot take your hand
God never gives is back our youth
The loving heart you slighted then
Was yours, my friend, in perfect truth

Come close and let me see your face
Your raven hair is tinged with snow
Oh, yes, it is the same dear face
I loved so many years ago

Oh no, I cannot take your hand
God never gives is back our youth
The loving heart you slighted then
Was yours, my friend, in perfect truth

Farewell, I think I love you yet
As friend to friend, God bless you dear
And guide you through these weary years
To where the skies are always clears

Oh no, I cannot take your hand
God never gives is back our youth
The loving heart you slighted then

We are only scratching the surface
There is a time and a place for
Confrontation
Since we got together
Since we all got together again
I found the key
Heavenly conversation
I can't make it alone
And when I'm with you
I want to be with you

Face to face who am I to say
After all the things I said along the way
Face to face who am I to say
After all the things I said along the way

I want to know about it
Your sense of freedom
We need nutrition
If we're gonna turn this around
Let s eminate from the depths of depression
It's not too late, you made a great impression
There is no replacement
And no substitution
If we're really gonna care and share
You have made us aware

Face to face who am I to say
After all the things I said along the way
Face to face who am I to say

While bodies burn, the children learn
How the money's earned, with growing concern
In the gallery, three distinguished strangers
Who had found there way home.......
Ricochet and muzzle flash
Superfluous, luxurious,
Commodities, communities
Democracies, security

They don't want your money
Overriding volunteer
They don't think you're funny at all.
Overriding volunteer

Lindesfarne and Banochburn
Inadequacy, inaccuracies
Heritage, more discoveries
While the fishermen sail the seas
Chemicals, minerals, culture and war,
Is that all this place is good for
Hundreds of years, unsettled scores
Rivalry and bribery

They don't want your money
Overriding volunteer
They don't think you're funny at all.
Overriding volunteer

Initiative on the killing floor
Each man is there for the next man
That's the horror and the terror of war
And your overriding volunteer
Inter-unit strife, think about your wife
Another mission rehearsal, so you know the procedure.
The rotor wash, N.C.O., incursion and extraction.
Numbing the population, evacuees, contingency..

They don't want your money
Overriding volunteer
They don't think you're funny at all.
Overriding volunteer

Movie reels on a photo slide
In a mountainside where the warlords hide
Send them to the sky
Send them to the sea
Spread them all over the land
The slaves and the gold and the ivory
The artist cry, as the good ones die
Charities and the refugees
The monetary man with a momentary plan

They don't want your money
Overriding volunteer
They don't think you're funny at all.

In sunny season
Pollution, high resolution
Talking about a revolution
All around the world

I got a reason
A wahwahchichiwahwahblamblam
For the love of the people yeah
Of which I am one

Well I love you and I wanna be true with a girl like you
I want you now and forever
How could I be new when I gotta be true?
I want you now and forever

Don't want to lose you
Two tone in the zone
Talking about emancipation
With your northern soul

If you want it
Well I suppose by the look of your clothes
You're talking about imagination
Be who you want to be

Well I love you and I wanna be true with a girl like you
I want you now and forever
How could I be new when I gotta be true?
I want you now and forever

Middle 8

In love we trust
Meditation what a good vibration
I'm a rhythm maker
Take me to the sun
Get it together
White waters swimming in troubled waters
Washing in holy waters
A lot of peace of mind

Well I love you and I wanna be true with a girl like you
I want you now and forever
How could I be new when I gotta be true?
I want you now and forever
Well I love you and I wanna be true with a girl like you
I want you now and forever
How could I be new when I gotta be true?

I love you even more

Holding on, drifting, for the meantime
Call my name, if you need me some time
In tenderness, the sweetest kiss
Now I want to show you affection.

Holding you tight, right through the night, through everyday
I should have wrote you a letter many times
I found you, in the wilderness
Now I want show you, commitment

You're free to cry on my, shoulder, anytime
You're gonna fly when you get older, all the time
In tenderness, the sweetest kiss
Now I want to show you perfection

It's been a long, way, home
When it's cold outside, and it's raining, raining down
I found you, in the wilderness
Now I want to show you affection

Now I'll love you, if you want me to
I'm gonna love you, even when I'm poor

Some people are working hard
Working hard on their style
On the back streets of the front line
You see signs of the crimes
Absence make the hard grow fonder
How could patience ever hurt you?
Don't check my status
Just give me the standard thing
Pearls of wisdom
Encompassing pearls of wisdom
Embrace those pearls of wisdom
Good people flow as only Jah would know

Don't want to see you fall
I just want to see you set yes
Don't want to see you fall
I just want to see you set yes

I guess it's true
What they say about you
Yes it's true, true, true
What they say about you well

Poor people inspiration
Have you seen what's really going on?
With a little leverage
This time I got more coverage
Absence make the hard grow fonder
How could patience ever hurt you? Because it's virtue..
Don't check my status
Just give me the standard thing
Pearls of wisdom
Encompassing pearls of wisdom
Embrace those pearls of wisdom
Good people flow as only Jah would know

Don't want to see you fall
I just want to see you set yes
Don't want to see you fall

Take me down to the river
That we started to flow
How can you be a flower?
When you're fighting the power
With my hands on your hips
I'm caressing your lips
Your exceptional baby
And adorable baby
She lives out of her handbag
With no life in her phone
I see her breaking down
And she's all on her own
When we go out to party
Only once in a while
You're adorable
And exceptional baby
You got me right where you want
Not where I want to be
I got you right where I want you
Not where you want to be
Don't get out of your mind
Like most people we know
You're exceptional baby
And I want you to know

With my hands on your hips
I'm caressing your lips
Your adorable baby
And exceptional baby

Take me down to the river
That we started to flow
How can you be a flower?
When you're fighting the power
When we go out to party
Only once in a while
You're adorable
And exceptional baby
Don't get out of your mind
Like most people we know
Your adorable baby
And exceptional baby
With my hands on your hips
I'm caressing your lips
Your adorable baby
And exceptional baby
Your adorable baby
