Starkey-Walsh

Talkin' on the telephone, nothin' to say
Empty conversation headin' my way
Pointin' the finger, placin' the blame
Tired of bein' negative, sick of the pain
Faded to action, fill in the blanks
No more distraction, thanks but no thanks
Fill in the blanks.

Just an empty feelin' searchin' my soul
Change of disposition, reachin' a goal
Need some direction, which way to go ?
Make a connection, just go with the flow.

Faded to action, fill in the blanks
Faded to action, fill in the blanks.

No more distraction, thanks but no thanks
Fill in the blanks.

Last night I had a Peace dream.
You know how real dreams can be?
The world was a better place for you and me,
Can't you see?
No need for war no more.
Better things worth fighting for.
No more hunger, no more pain.
I hope I have that dream again.

Can you imagine all of this coming true?
It's really up to all of us to do.
Just like John Lennon said
In Amsterdam, from his bed,
One day the world will wake up to see
The reality.

Last night I had a Peace dream.
You know how real dreams can be?
The world was a better place for you and me,
Can't you see?
(Try to imagine...)
No need for war no more.
Better things worth fighting for.
No more hunger, no more pain.
I hope that dream comes true some day.

So try imagine,
If we give peace a chance,
All the world could be
Living in harmony.
One day our dream could be reality.
Reality.

Last night I had a Peace dream.
You know how real dreams can be?
The world was a better place for you and me,
(Try to imagine...)
No need for war no more.
(Try to imagine...)
Better things worth fighting for.
No more hunger, no more pain.
We'll make our dream come true some day.

The other side of Liverpool is cold and damp
Only way outta there, drums, guitar, and amp
The other side of Liverpool , where I came from
My mother was a barmade.
At the age of three my father was gone.

Dave, if you're listening, well you know what I mean
I was you and Brian Brisko.
Got me thru my early teens. (alright)

The other side of Liverpool
(The other side, the other side)
The other side of Liverpool, you know it's true

The other side of Liverpool, you just had to laugh
we had to go to Stevil's street just to take a bath.
The other side of Liverpool, we used to play for free
They'd give us lukewarm, to keep us 3, eddie,roy, and me

And Roy if you're listening, thanks for all you've done
It was you and me on the factory floor.
When rock n' roll had just begun (oh yeah)

The other side of Liverpool
(The other side, the other side)
The other side of Liverpool, you know it's true

No man's an island who has been in love
Bringing understanding every push and shove
Just as fundamental as the stars above
It is benefiting every hand in glove
And you tell me it's a cold day in hell when you surrender
For love and a chance to remember
What we have to hold is more silver and gold

When I walk with you
When I talk with you
Everything will be fine
When I walk with you
When I talk with you
Everything will be fine
Will be fine

It's coincidental we have met before
Let this be the time and place that we explore
With no hesitation knocking at that door
Open up your heart and love forever more
And I tell you it's a cold day in hell but we remember
That song that starts out love me tender
And that king of hearts

When I walk with you
When I talk with you
Everything will be fine
When I walk with you
When I talk with you
Everything will be fine
Will be fine

You paint a picture of love in pain
I don't have time in what time remains
What I have just tried to explain flew by you
What can I do with a heart of steel
I would impart what I've come to feel
Love is the answer and It is real
I'll always be there beside you

When I walk with you
When I talk with you
Everything will be fine
When I walk with you
When I talk with you
Everything will be fine
Will be fine
When I walk with you
When I talk with you
Everything will be fine
When I walk with you
When I talk with you
Everything will be fine
Will be fine

Starkey-Stewart

Time waits for nobody
And nobody waits for time
Life is for the living
All we have to do is shine.

Forget about yesterday
This is the best day of your life
You better not fade away
Today is the best day of our life, alright.

I've seen a lot of joy
I've seen a lot of pain
Things I've had to go through
To get back on track again.

Now I can forget about yesterday
This is the best day of our life
I'm glad you didn't fade away
Today is the best day of our life, alright.

People have their problems
I know it's true
I have mine, you have yours
But I'll be there, yes, I'll be there for you.

Will we ever learn
What makes this world go round
Now its our concern, we still return
To the same old round

Nothing is new
Under the sun
But things will get better when we all are one

We'll play a different game
Harmony is fine but after a time, well the key must change
Open your eyes
Don't lose your way
Remember today

Ahh, everyone wins
The light that's shining out from you will touch everything that you see
Ahh, everyone wins
You reach into the silence you will find it's the time to believe

Take care of yourself
There's no mystery
Try to understand everything's planned
Its more than you or me
Magic may come, magic may go
It's not the end of the show

Ahh, everyone wins
The light that's shining out from you will touch everything that you see
Ahh, everyone wins
You reach into the silence you will find it's the time to believe

One day you will find
The doubts you had are taking from your mind
(taken from your mind)
Taken from your mind!

Ahh, everyone wins
The light that's shining out from you will touch everything that you see
Ahh, everyone wins
You reach into the silence you will find it's the time to believe

Everyone wins
Everyone wins (everyone wins)
Everyone wins (everyone wins)
In the end

Here comes love, here comes light;
Here comes darkness moving slowly into night.
I cross the room, unlock the door.
These are moments like I've never had before.
I hear your footsteps coming near.
It's the sound I love to hear.

Then you fall right into me,
Mmm, it's Destiny.
You can hear the angels sing --
Something feels so right.
We don't even have to say the words;
I can feel the world around us turn.
Feel our love's alive, living in the mystery of the night.

Can't remember who I used to be
Before there was you, here loving me.
You were always in my heart.
We were written in the stars.

Then you fall right into me.
Mmm, it's Destiny.
You can hear the angels sing --
Something feels so right.
We don't even have to say the words;
I can feel the world around us turn.
I feel our love's alive, living in the mystery of the night.

I can't believe it!
Yes, I can't believe it!
Now I can really see it --
You love me!

You were always in my heart.
It was written in the stars,

Then you fall right into me.
Mmm, it's Destiny.
You can hear the angels sing --
That something feels so right.
We don't even have to say the words;
I can feel the world around us turn.
I feel our love's alive, living in the mystery of the night.

Living in the mystery of the night.

We're living in the mystery of the night.

Starkey-Burr

Sometimes I walk and I don't know the way
Don't have a map but I can't be afraid to go on
'Cause as long as I am doing it, I can't do it wrong.

I hear the birds when I open my eyes
It sounds like music, it's part of my life, is a song
'And as long as I am singing it, I can't sing it wrong.

We think sometimes the choices that we make
Will break our hearts but there are no mistakes.

When I'm honest, here's what I found
Love is the answer and the answer is coming on strong
As long as I am giving it, I can't give it wrong.

We think sometimes the choices that we make
Will break our hearts but there are no mistakes
So look around, it's never gonna be too late
To open up your heart, it's easy, you don't have to wait.

We can't get nowhere if we're all standing still
And when the chips are down, you know that we will carry on
Aas long as we're doing it, we can't do it wrong
Then will all carry on 'cause as long as we're doing it, we can't do it wrong
Can't do it wrong.

Why Not? Check in on the merchandise
Why Not? Always something in your size
Why Not? Who says that it's not allowed?
Why not do it if you want to now?

I've heard all the reasons
Why you can't do this, and why you can't do that
I can't understand it
I never believed it, not even for a minute
I still don't believe it, even when I'm in it

Trying to get out and trying to get in
Trying to remember all the places I've been

Let's stop reading in between the lines
Let's stop doing things and paying fines
Let's stop thinking that we're in control
And start listening in to our soul
Let's stop getting in each other's way
Let's stop doing what we're doing today

Sometimes I think it's easy
Sometimes I think it's bad
I've got to remember the days when I feel sad
Nothing lasts for ever, and everything will pass
As long as I keep going, If I get off my ass

I listen to my music, I listen to my soul
The place that I come from
Well it's still rock and roll

I've got things to do and things to say
I've got love to help me every day
I've got bridges that I've got to cross
I've got to get the things that I have lost
I've got to make it real and make it sound
Why not? Why not? Why not?

(Indian sounding lyrics and rhythm, with sitar)

Why Not? Check in on the merchandise
Why Not? Always something in your size
Why Not? Who says that it's not allowed?
Why Not? Do it if you want to now?
Why Not? I promise you will be surprised
Why Not? Why Not? Why Not?

(Indian sounding lyrics and rhythm, with sitar)

Why Not?...
(Indian sounding lyrics and rhythm, with sitar)
Why Not.....Why Not? Why Not?
Why Not, Why Not, Why Not.

. . .


mmmm, yeah
I see it constantly
I know you find it hard to see
We need to set a couple things straight
I won't take you lying down
I know you like to get around
You know I hate it when you're late
I know how you look when you're tellin' lies
You have a good seat, no surprise, yeah!

Who's your daddy?
Not you, no
Who's your daddy?
I'll drop you to the floor
Who's your daddy?
Check yourself
Who's your daddy?
Check yourself home
Boy not taking you no more

I know you like to see me smile
And you love when I'm acting wild
You're the man I love to hate
You give me chicken wings
But baby I want solid rings
What's up with your mind?
Are you insane? Ohh
You know baby when I'm telling lies
Now I need no alibis

Who's your daddy?
Not you, no more
Well I drop you to the floor
Come on baby
Who's your daddy?
I'm not taking it no more
Who's your daddy?
Not you
Who's your daddy?
Not you, not you no more
Who's your daddy?
Who's your daddy?
You're the man I love to hate, yes you are.
