Will Young Album

Chorus
You know I'm gonna keep on, gonna keep on
Nowhere else to go
I like it with the heat on, so put the heat on
I get there on my own
You know I'm gonna ride it, I won't hide it
I told you all along
But none of that don't matter, let's get it on

'Cos it pays to do your best
Do it better than the rest
And I hate to say I'm wrong,
I can see what's going on
And at times it makes me mad
'Cos this thing is all I have
Got to see a way,
Oh, how I love it, how I love it

Chorus

It's a way to pay the bills
But I need to get my thrills
Just until I'm satisfied
But I need to feel alive
You gotta hurt before you heal
Take a dream and make it real
I've been waiting too long
Hey I'm coming, hey I'm coming

Like a diamond in the rough
Keep on 'til I've had enough
Gonna shimmer like the sun
I can warm up everyone
It's coming like a miracle
When you rise you never fall
I've been waiting so long
Hey it's coming, hey it's coming

Chorus
Why wait, what you holding on for?
I just go around and around
It isn't gonna take too long
It's late, but not too late
It's time for reaching out
Somebody's gonna take me away

You gotta hurt before you heal
Take a dream and make it real
I've been waiting too long
Hey I'm coming, hey I'm coming

Chorus

Keep on, keep on
Gonna keep on

(W Young/S Lipson/R Peterson/K Poole/S Wolf)

I can see I'm a little unstable
Mystified, I'm tired and unable
To switch it on and switch it off daily
It's OK to say how you see me

It's about my time
There's no way
Please, this isn't working
I can't breathe
Got no air now

How can I live when I want to be free?
This is my time and these are my needs
It's OK to want before you fall down
You're sending me off on a mission I'm bound

Got to, got to, got to go crazy

Can you tell I'm a little bit hungry?
Mr Fabulous don't impress me
He talks to me with a speech without words
With the vowels all missing and the truth unheard

Please, this isn't working
I can't breathe
Got no air now

It's all about the money
It's all about the fame
It's not about the way you live your life
This is how I'm gonna break it down now

How can I live when I want to be free?
This is my time and these are my needs
It's OK to want before you fall down
You're sending me up on a mission, I'm bound

Give it to me
Ha!

Can't you see I'm a little bit weary
In a three piece suit and shoes that don't fit me
You're bright-eyed-bushy-tailed pushing it round
No I won't let it go, no I won't stop, won't stop

How can I live when I want to be free?
This is my time and these are my needs
It's OK to want before you fall down
You're sending me up on a mission, I'm bound

How can I live when I want to be free?
This is my time and these are my needs
It's OK to want before you fall down
You're sending me up on a mission, I'm bound

You're sending me up on a mission, I'm bound
You're sending me up on a mission, I'm bound
You're sending me up on a mission, I'm bound

Sometimes you walk by the good ones
'Cos you're trying to hard, too hard to see them
And sometimes you don't find the right lines
'Cos you're trying too hard, too hard to hear them
But you know what it feels like
'Cos you're like me
And you won't give up
'Till an all time love
'Cos nothing else is good enough
I want an all time love to find me

Some days you're too set in your ways
And you forget to shut up, shut up and listen
And some days you just have to misplace all your mistakes
Somewhere that you won't miss them
So stop lying that you're fine
'Cos you're like me
And you can't give up

'Till an all time love
'Cos nothing else is good enough
I want an all time love to find me

I don't believe that it's a failing
I don't believe that it's a fault
'Cos if everything were plain sailing
Oh tell me what would there be left to resolve

But an all time love
'Cos nothing else is good enough
I want an all time love to find me
I want an all time love
'Cos nothing else is good enough

Oh my God, I know, I know
I've been here before, before
Succumbed again, I'm jinxed again
But I still
Soldier on, be strong
The simple reason is I'm skin and bone
Best not be scared
Just to be aware that alone

Chorus
It ain't such a bad place to be because we're opposites
I know you, so don't come creeping back, I'm on my feet again
I'll show you, put you out like a cigarette
A metaphor not to forget
To forgive, it's positive

Oh come on, come on
Did you think that you could pull the wool over my eyes
Much to your surprise, alone

Chorus

Not negative
Live and let live
I ain't holding onto you

It ain't such a bad place to be
It ain't such a bad place to be

It ain't such a bad place to be because we're opposites
I know you, so don't come creeping back, I'm on my feet again
I'll show you

Have you ever felt you'd leave your own impression
Need to know your mind
Feel the pressure should be giving it up to the right sensation
Right now is a friend of mine
And it seems to me we've got things sown up
(Work it out)
'Cos we're working it out
You thought I couldn't handle it
I thought that I told you
'Cos it means a lot to me
And means are hard to find
And every little thing that I do
Makes it alright, alright, alright

Chorus
Think it over
Shake it up and round
Get your life back, you've forgotten that
That your moment is right now
Spend your days running round, everything gets you down
So get your life back, get your life back
'Cos your moment is right now
Get your life back
Give it up now
I thought that I told you
If there's a sound, give it a rhyme
There's no point in letting it fall out of time
'Cos you know,
The life of a soldier is falling in line
Let it go, it seems that I'm only saying things you know
'Cos it means a lot to me
And means are hard to find
(Feeling something better)
And every little thing that I do
Makes it alright, alright, alright

Chorus

Feeling kind, feeling kind, I'm feeling kind
I'll get you down
Shake it up, shake it up and round, 'cos you work it out
Shake it up and round
Cos you work it out, work it out
Work it up
'Cos it means a lot to me
Your means are, your means are hard to find
And every little thing that I do
Makes it alright, it's alright, alright

Sometimes you know you push me so hard
I don't know how I feel
You almost make me doubt I feel at all

It's not as though I always listen
But there's just so much I don't hear
Maybe I'll never be what you want
I know that all you're asking for
Is a little place in my heart
But I don't find it easy to give

Maybe I get a little selfish sometimes
Why shouldn't I?
I used to say I love you
But would it make a difference this time?

Chorus
And who am I to tell you that I would never let you down
That no-one else could love you half as much as I do now
And who am I to tell you I'll always catch you when you fall
Well I, I wouldn't be myself at all
I wouldn't be myself at all, at all.

I always find a reason why I didn't put you first
It's not that complicated I know
I really hate it when you shake your head like this ain't gonna work
Maybe you'll never reap what you sow

Chorus

I didn't want to do what everybody does
And hide the truth to find we never knew a thing about love
Cos this is real life, real love
And knowing what it comes down too
It just might be enough

Happiness is a drug
Happiness don't pull the rug on
Happiness has begun
Happiness that's never undone

Chorus
Take me and blow all my cares away
And I hope that this feeling stays
'Cos I'm loving your love each day
Summer has gone and the winter's here
And I hope that the spring is near
'Cos I'm living the favourite year

Happiness is hard to get
Happiness is being wet
Happiness is a song
Happiness, it never lasts long

Chorus

Happiness is the way
Happiness is being gay
Happiness is a song
Happiness never lasts long

Chorus
Summer has gone and the winter's here
And I hope that the spring is near

Couldn't stand the city
I had to get away
Drive myself down to the coast
For a couple of days
Love to take you with me
But I'm sure you'd never come
Don't know how you stay alive
Without seeing the sun
Look what you've become

Chorus
Save yourself, just yourself
Don't think about no-one else
Save yourself, just yourself
I can't help you
Let them go, let them go
You're gonna get through alone
Save yourself, just yourself
Please.
Said he was a junkie
Everybody got involved
'Cos they're only trying to help
You would not be told
Wake up every morning
I try to show you what is good
But on the sly you'd go and try
Anything you could
How's that for gratitude?

I know what you're thinking
'bout the future
Now the message is cle-ear mmmm
Everything I'm making for
I ain't gonna find in here
In here
All this time I'm waiting
For the Saviour, for
Somebody who cares
Who cares!
I don't need, I don't need
I don't need to involve
I just need some control
oo-ee baby
I just keep thinking that
I need saving
Nobody ever seems to
Question me-ee?
Am I the only one?
I can't stop this madness going on
It's crazy!
The way I'm feeling I may
Never make it
Each way I turn I see the
Same ol' faces
I get the picture that
I can't stop this madness going on
You're always talking 'bout the
Hero when I'm turning in pain, in vain
I hear what they're saying
Now they're praying for
A man on the edge … mmmmmm
I don't need, I don't need, I don't need to know
I don't need to be so-o-o ahhhh
I just keep on fleeing
From the madness going on in my head
My he-ead
Oo-eeh baby
I just keep thinking that
I need saving
Nobody ever seems to
Question me-ee
Am I the only one?
I can't stop this madness going on
It's crazy!
The way I'm feeling I may
Never make it
Each way I turn I see the
Same ol' faces
I get the picture that
I can't stop this madness going on
Something to stay for
Say what you might have done
Make it impossible
Run to you now
Playing a no-one
It took you higher
Open your eyes again
Choose your 'something'
Open your heart
Pick up the phone again
Call up your smile now
I'm still waiting
The better things
The better times
From this madness inside
Oo-eeh baby
I just keep thinking that
I need saving
Nobody ever seems to
Question me-ee
Am I the only one?
I can't stop this madness going on
It's crazy!
The way I'm feeling I may
Never make it
Each way I turn I see the
Same ol' faces
I get the picture that
I can't stop this madness going on
Oo-eeh baby
I need saving
Question me – yeah
Cos I can't stop this who-aa who-aa
It's crazy!
Who-aa who-aa
Never make it
Same ol' faces

So slow, I can't see how you live in fear of life

Chorus
Baby what a day, baby what a day under these skies, it ain't over
All I want is to get you on your own somehow
If you're one of those then you're one of those, make up your mind
'Cos it's working
All I know is I'll get you on your own somehow
See now I choose your smile, is cheer uncool in life?

Chorus

Say what you got and you say what you need
Say what you got and you say what you need (x7)

See how, I can, you comfort me

So afraid of living out my life
Taking time, Oh I've got to think about it
I know what's mine is slipping through my hands
I can't stand, no to have to think about it
Maybe I'm aching for something, waiting for something
Don't want to compromise
Sometimes I think I don't need it, no

Chorus
You think I'm afraid but I want to be wanted
Take some time, you gotta think about it
Just a caricature of a lover
Just, just, just think about it when you get in your car
You say I'm afraid and you're making me beg
So, what you gonna do
You gotta think about it
I can see what I need, guaranteed, after all this time

So, you gotta think about it

Once again asking for permission
I call you up, Oh I need to think about us
You make me feel like a hungry little kid who thinks he's on a mission
But this is real, Oh I need to think about it

Maybe I'm asking for something, waiting for something
Don't want to compromise
Sometimes I think I don't need it, but now I've seen

Chorus

Take some time, make up your mind
Always asking why, why, do I think about
What I am, where I come from
You don't realise that it's starting to pull me apart

Take some time, make up your mind
Always asking why, why do I think about
What I am, where I come from
You don't realise that it's starting to pull me apart

Chorus

Yes you gotta think about it

Tell me how did we fall into this place
We move on, we will never be replaced
And I can't even think about the next
It's too far away
First I must forget, by leaving
I am a different man
I didn't have the picture
For the perfect frame
I know that

We travelled streets unknown
Been away too long
Now it's time to go home
Back with our love

We should never be strangers
You should never pass me on the street
Would you please remember me as I remember you

Looking back we were strangers in the night
We were told that we let our hearts collide
And I swear I had the time of my life
Wish I could stay, it just wouldn't be right

I know you
You turn the light off last
You let me sleep to dream
You let me wake up first
I believe in you and that will never change
But I must turn away
Now it's time to go home

Home, back with our love
We should never be strangers
You should never pass me on the street
Remember me please
