MISS YOU BAD real player file

I Knew It Was You (real player file)

Every night I lie awake and wonder
If I've made the same mistake
Like I'm always making
Every day I drift away
Floating on a sea of high elation
And I can't stop shaking
It's hard to know if I am only
Dreaming that I feel so happy

I knew it was you
With you shining eyes
And smiling hands
Yeh, you took my heart
By surprise when you
Said I've got something for you girl
That's gonna make you hair curl

Stay a while make me smile
Wrap your arms around me
Like an ocean like a magic potion
I've got you you've got me
Anyway we want to in emotion
That's how I want to be
It's hard to know if I am only
Dreaming that I feel so happy

I knew it was you
With your shining eyes
And smiling hands
Yeh, you took my heart
By surprise when you
Said I've something for you girl
That's gonna make your hair curl

And when I call your name out loud
Will you know my heart is true
And if I fall in love this time
Will you know I fall for you

You took a look inside my dreams
Now you mean the world to me
I'm not being cynical
It's a little miracle

Pearl In The Wreckage (real player file)

Well here I am
In the wild of the oceon
Alone on the sand
Here all the way
From the smoke in the city
To Ballymoor Bay

It's true take my word
This unbearable beauty
Will haunt me forever
Until I return
From this pearl in the wreckage
My senses will burn

Follow me down
To the place where
The walls of my soul
Rattle and roll
Rattle and roll you are shaking
The walls of my soul
The walls of my soul

Look that's the sky
She is always forever
And never should die
Feel, feel the wind
Such a terrible power
So often unkind

Listen
Merciless mother
Of all destiny
This is the land
It's the pearl in the wreckage.
Ireland.

Follow me down....

 One More Time (real player file)

One more time with feeling
One more time just for me
One more time with feeling
Well I can see you but I can't see me.

I am walking on the ceiling
Venus rising is all I see
I am talking without reason
It's not surprising that my heart feels free.

One more time...

I am falling like an angel
Freya hold me in your wings
There are stars and moons
There is lightning and thunder
It's no wonder that my spirit sings.

Your may say this love's unthinkable
You may say it's a crime without a name
Oh you might say this wine's undrinkable
But I am walking in this garden just the same.

One more time with feeling...

Miss You Bad (real player file)

Sometimes angels fall from glory
Fold their precious wings away
I could hang my head and say I'm sorry
But there's much more I need to say

I only want to be a good friend to me now
Since you walked away
My Portabello fantasy
What did I do to make you stray?

Hold me to the mirror, hold me to the light
Tell the girl that's lost her world
Since you've gone she's gonna be alright

Cos I miss you bad
But I'm just about to find my life
And I feel so sad
But I'm laughing too

Sometimes heroines are cowards
They wear their courage like a mask
And all you see are dying flowers
Make it fine and made it last

I only want to be a good friend to me now
Since you said goodbye
My Portabello fantasy
What did I do to make you cry?

Hold me to the fire
Hold me to the flame
Tell the girl who's lost her world
Since you've gone she's gonna burn again

Yeh I miss you so bad
But I'm just about to find my life
And I feel so sad
But I'm laughing too

I'm going uh-hi...

Sometimes angels fall from glory
Fold their precious wings away

Backs of Houses (real player file)

Sometimes I feel so sad
When I see the backs of houses
From a window in a train
London once again
Ay ay ay ay

Yep I really don't know why
When I see the backs of houses
Just makes me want to cry
Ay ay ay ay

I see those tiny windows,meeny minds
Somebody is staring through the dusty blinds
Boys in the green house looking at their willies
Raymond thinks it's silly and he's started a fire
Oh my god!
There's smoke in the washing

Sometimes I feel so sad
When I see the backs of houses
On a 125 again
London in the rain
Ay ay ay ay

It might be Monday, Mrs Mightaswell
Hanging out her undies in a row
Bending over for the pegs in the long grass
Railway worker whistles at her big ass
There goes Derek, mending the mower
Wearing his pink Marigolds
Sleeps with the poet that he met in San Diego
Bats in the attic, oh the campbeds really narrow
Oh my god!
There's a robin in the bird bath

Stolen cars, beautiful respray
Steal my heart
Take me away, take me away

We'll soon be home
Backs of houses
On and on and on and on
We'll soon be home

Reggae boom boom
Banging in the back room
Nobody noticed the train
Stolen cars...
Oh my god!
There's a football in the rhubarb

Portugal (real player file)

At a round table in a good kitchen
I talk to an old friend Alice
I don't see  her often she lives with Carrie
Makes me tea makes me welcome
Feel a part of something
Greater than my own ideas
Walls of conversations
Never covered over
Oh the light bulb swings
From the window I see their garden
Years of love and labour
Such high stone walls

She says we're leaving
To live in Portugal
Far fromthe city
Where time don't ring that bell
Sun on our doorstep
And wind in our hair
Oh the dust on the tracks
It gets everywhere

Shows me the photographs
I turn the pages slowly
Cactuses and orange trees
Giving all outthings away
Books we have read..
Except Palinorus
She says I'm taking
My suitcase ofwisdom
Some she's got to find
Ever since I've known her
I've noticed something special
It activates my peace of mind

She says we're leaving
To live in Portugal
Far from the city
Where time don't ring that bell
Sun on our doorstep
Wind on our hair
Oh the dust on the tracks
It gets everywhere

Well I won't miss you
When you're gone
I'll think of you
And carry on
No I won't miss you
When you're gone
I'll think of you
And carry on

Pass by your doorway
My truckloads of many things to say
All my songs
See me I'm putting on
My red hat for glory
I need an audience
Maybe you are the best I've known
Like Palinorus
You're slipping off the deck
Of my life

Well I won't miss you
When you're gone
I'll think of you and carry on
No I won't miss you
When you're gone
I'll build a bridge
With this song.

On My Radio (real player file)

Call up an old friend
Laugh about the good times
Cry about the distance
Come on over I lose all resistance
Take myself away
I drive into the day
I  don't look behind me
Letting go see what I can find me
Turn on my radio
Look out my window
I can drive so fast
Here I come I'm here at last
This is it, don't it make me happy
Just a little bit
Never knew how easy this could be
Making a break just to be with me
City life you lay me out
I got nothing left inside
All the pretty details of my life
Gonna take you for a ride
And on my radio...li li la li
And my love goes down, down, down.

Want a new direction
Want a new perception
On who you are, what you do, what you say
Living in a harbour
Of habits and routines
Cut the tie break away
Come back some other day
I just needed somebody
To remind me who I am
Shake the doubt out of me
Say I'm glad to see you Jan
And on my radio... li li la li.

I'm turning on my radio
Drive so fast I'm here at last
Here I come and here I go
Turning on my radio.

Mirror For My Heart (real player file)

I'd walk upon the water
My ten inch high heeled shoes
Dressed as Johah's daughter
And the whale could sing the blues
You speak the truth as it is for me
Without this mirror for my heart
Where would I be?

I would sing from a leaning tower
My hair would sweep the ground
Still wet from a recent shower
A flood to hold the sound
You speak the truth as it is for me
Without this mirror for my heart
What would I do?

My heart goes ooh oh yeh
It goes ooh oh yeh
Without this mirror for my heart
This mirror for my heart
What would I ...

I would fly with wings of daring
I'd never look behind
No parachute no harness
I'm going to land inside your mind
You speak the truth as it is for me
Without this mirror for my heart
What would I do?

Sweet Inside (real player file)

All my secrets
All my mad and wild ideas
They will come to nothing
If I hide inside my fears
I don't want to
I've got my all my life to live
And I'll tell you something
Are you listening?
I don't sing this song
To take away the blues
I just sing this song
To tell you about the truth

That I'm sweet inside for you
Sweet inside for you
Sweet inside for you

All my sadness
All my emptiness and tears
Did they fall for nothing
Have I wasted all these years?
I don't think so
I've got me love to give
And I'll tell you something
Are you listening?
I don't sing this song
To take away the pain
I just sing this song
To tell you once again
That I'm

Sweet inside for you
Sweet inside for you
Sweet inside for you

Sister, Lover, Mother, Child (real player file)

Doesn't take a lot to make me cry
Just a face to make me smile
That's the power of emotion
Sister, Lover, Mother, Child

Bless the love inside each woman
Bless the love inside me now
That's the power of devotion
Sister, Lover, Mother, Child

We are watching you, Big Brother
You who cannot justify
We are singing for each other
Sister, Lover, Mother, Child

There is a strong wind blowing
Chucking up a raging tide
That's the power yeh, of knowing
Sister, Lover, Mother, Child.

Favourite Place (real player file)

There is a kind of glory in an ordinary day
To pass the time with no design
Is a blessing in its way
And all our great ambitions
We spin and weave and climb
The finest things that living brings
Are with us all the time

This is my favourite place
Where the bells of glory ring for me
This is my favourite place
Where the bells still ring

And all the famous people
We love to say we know
There's still a few like me and you
Just waiting to be known
We're on an endless  journey
Spinning round and round
And when we land they'll understand
This longing to be found

This is my favourite place
Where the bells of glory ring for me
This is my favourite place

When the tide is high
And the wind is low
With a dyind sky
And an open soul
I will go

Like A Wave (real player file)

Leaf on a tree it's turning brown
Strong wind could blow
And it would fall right down
I wish I were a leaf and I felt that safe
If a strong wind should blow me
I would fall with grace

There's a bird in the sky flying home
Circles so high, flying alone
I wish I were a bird and I felt that safe
Well if they shoot me down I would fall with grace

Crest of a wave rolling to shore
When it touches land it will be no more
 I wish I were a wave and I felt that safe
If a strong tide should push me
I would break with grace

There's an ache in my soul
There's a pain in my heart
Me and my love that we should part
I want to feel strong, I want to feel safe
Just like a leaf, like a bird, like a wave
So I can leave you and love you with grace
So I can leave you and love you with grace.

Sweet Wisdom (real player file)

Sweet sweet sweet wisdom
Brushed my shoulder tonight
Took my hand and told me
It's going to be alright

Sweet salvation
Turned my heart around
Took my burdens to the water
Watched that sun go down

Does the water touch the sky
Where they meet on a line?

Sweet sweet  horizon
Nothing in my way
Take my soul and rock me
Hear me when I say.
