What Are You Going To Do With Your Life?

If I knew now what I knew then
I'd wonder how not wonder when
There's something going wrong again
With me and mine
It's only ever what it seems
Memories and might have beens
Heaven's scent: the smell of dreams
We'll never find

Tell me, tell me, tell me

What are you going to do with your life?
What are you going to do with your life?
What are you going to do?
What are you going to be?
What am I going to do?
I'm going to be me, be me, be me

If I could see what you can see
The sun's still shining out of me
I'd be the boy I used to be
When love was blind
I'd let the light back in again
Walk you to the tunnel's end
I'd be yours and maybe then
You'd be mine

So tell me, tell me, tell me
What are you going to do with your life?...

I will, if you will
Follow me down......

Rust

I wish that you were here
Down amongst the dust
I need someone to help me
Yeah I need someone to trust
There's something in these tears
Turning me to rust
I need someone to help me
Yeah I need someone to touch

Give me one more try
And I'll come flaking back to you
I wish that you were here
I wish that it was true

I can feel the stars shooting through my heart like rain
Leaving all the scars where the pleasure turns to pain
Point me in the light of a bright and shining right direction
And then take me home again

Just when you think it's over
Just when you think it's done
Out of every nowhere
You never see it come
I know the lines are showing
I can't keep them in
Like everybody's story
It's written on the skin

Give me one last try
And I'll make it up to you
Wish that you were here
Wish that I was true

I can feel the stars shooting through my heart like rain
Leaving all the scars where the pleasure turns to pain
Point me in the light of a bright and shining right direction
And then take me home again

Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright, now...

Wish that you were here...

Get In The Car

Let's go and take a starlit drive
To where the shaping of our lives
Had just begun
When we were young
When everything was coming right
In all our dreams of love and life
And we would run
Into the sun

Get in the car
We're taking a ride
We're looking for stars
Looking for satellites
Of love
Of love

Changes coming changes gone
We just want to be someone
Behind the tears
Behind the tears
Nights and days go on and on
And things are coming out all wrong
And no one hears
No one hears

Get in the car
We're taking a ride
We're looking for stars
We're looking for satellites
Get in the car
We're taking a ride
You'll be the star
I'll be your satellite
Of love
Of love

Let's go and take a ride
To all those starry nights
We used to fly upon
When we were young
When everything was coming right
In all our dreams of love and life
And we would run
Into the sun

Nothing's gonna get me down...

Baby Rain

Lost again
Still waiting for the voices
That don't call my name
Had too many choices
And I missed my aim
No pearls inside the oysters

Just a world
With no answers
We all get life
And take our chances

In the rain
Baby rain
In the rain
Baby rain

Glad to be
Alive and still believing
What you said to me
Your love was never leaving
And it comes for free
So what's the use of stealing

From your girl
When she's the answer
And your world
And your chances

In the rain
Baby rain
In the rain
Baby rain

I've got what you want
When're you going to get me?

Home again
I can hear the voices
Singing out my name
Life is where the choice is
And I've found my aim
Don't need pearls or oysters

Just a world
With all the answers
I've got life
I'll take my chances

In the rain
Baby rain
In the rain
Baby Rain

History Chimes

Bells high on a hill
History chimes
And you want a new beginning
Tell me in biro or quill
Your purpose and mine
Prove that our world is spinning
So here goes nothing better
And here's to something else

Until tomorrow
But that's another time
It's just another time
It's just some other troubled time

The seed grew up a boy
Turned to a man
Is this the world you wanted?
It seems under the soil
Over the sand
Not quite the seed I planted
I've seen you
And now I know better
I've been you
Now I'm someone else

Until tomorrow
But that's another time
It's just another time
It's just some other troubled time

Until tomorrow
Until...

Lost On You

It's just a dangerous bend
On a slippery slope
Another rainbow's end
On the highway of hope
It's always next time
Always next time
Always last time

Just get me out of this jam
It's stuck to me like glue
And I can't remember who I am
My memory got lost on you

I had things inside my head
And they put me behind them
Thought they'd be safe in my head
And now I just can't find them

It's just a trick of light
And some sleight of hand
Another kiss goodnight
Along the rise of man
And it's the last time
It's the last time
'Til the next time

So get me out of this jam
It's stuck to me like glue
And I can't remember who I am
My memory got lost on you

I had things inside my head
And they put me behind them
Thought they'd be safe in my head
And now I just can't find them

It's gone and that's too bad
The best thing that I ever had
Had the whole world in my mouth
Ate it up and spat it out...

Morning Sun

Show me the hole I can fall in
To the ground to the ground to the ground
Speak to me speak and give me my calling
'Cos I'm going down, going down, going down

It's only lies and alibis
Alibis and lies
We know something dies every day

I've lost or I've forgotten
More than I'll ever know
Born just a someone with some kind of nothing
I let it go, let it go, let it go

It's only lies and alibis
Alibis and lies
We know something dies every day
Here it comes the morning sun
Another hit and run
And we're just the ones in the way

Coming down with you...

Give me a hope I can lean on
'Cos I'll bend in the calmest of winds
Give me more than dreams for me to dream on
My jury's in, coming in, coming in...

When It All Blows Over

When it all blows over
Can we start again?
When we've both grown older
Will you love me then?
Say you'll love me then

You never had to tell me
I already knew
The first time you held me
It was only you
It was only ever you

Through every change
As I turned with the tide
Through all of my games
You were there by my side

When it all blows over
Can we start again?
When we've both grown older
Will you love me then?
Say you'll love me then

Will you love me then?
Say you'll love me then?
Did you love me then...?

Fools Like Us

It's fools like us
Always fooled
By the bright side of life
Then life on the cool
How does it turn
How does it turn
Into dying embers
From a love that burned?

On its way to your heart somehow...

They're falling again
My shining stars
From out of your Heaven
And into my heart
Ribbons and chains
Ribbons and chains
Tie us together
And keep us apart

Got to get to your heart somehow...

If I could be someone
Someone better than me
I would be that someone
Who's still waiting to be free

It's fools like us
Always burned
On the dying embers
Of a love that turned

On its way to your heart somehow...

Gotta get to your heart somehow
Gotta get to your heart somehow
Gotta get to your heart somehow

Time is on our side....
