Broken Man
03:06

|
Looking back, on how my life it used to be.
Half a man, a puzzle missing the piece.
You see I used to be broken, I'm not broken anymore.
Yeah I used to be broken, I'm not broken anymore.
Down and out, I struggle back to my feet.
Look straight ahead, I know where I've been.
You see I used to be broken, I'm not broken anymore.
Yeah I used to be broken, I'm not broken anymore.
Come what may, I'm still standing I'm still here.
Brighter days, for those who persevere.
Oh I used to be broken, I'm not broken anymore.
Lord I used to be broken, I'm not broken anymore.
Yeah I used to be broken, I'm not broken anymore
Yeah I used to be broken, I'm not broken anymore.

If This Is Love
02:50

If this is love, it's hard.
If this is love, it's a get well card.
You got me beating on myself,
Black and blue, under your spell.
If this is love, it's not for me,
Farewell.
If this is love, get it while it's hot.
If this is love, love it 'til it's not.
You gotta keep your wits about yourself,
Love will change ya into someone else,
If this is love it's not for me
Farewell.
If this is it, I need a break.
If this is it, I made a mistake
If this is it, I've had enough
I'm gone if this is love
If this is love, it's not for me
If this is love, it's not for me
If this is love, it's not for me
Farewell.

Morning Papers
03:49

Oh Lord have you read the morning papers today?
Stocks are down, and we're at war again.
I've been drinking coffee from dusk through to dawn.
I'm broke, wired but I'm well informed.
Lord all my friends have run for the hills.
My enemies are moving in for the kill.
After years of disbelief, Lord you're my only friend,
I'm cold and I'm hungry, but I'm not sure if you're there.
Oh Lord can you hear a word I say?
Skies are cloudy and it's cold and it's grey.
Above all that anger, for I know there's a sky of blue
Cause I know there's hope, If I just believe in you.
Lord have you read the papers today?
Stocks are down and we're at war again.
I've been drinkin' drinkin' drinkin whiskey
from dusk through to dawn,
I'm broke, wired but I'm well informed.
Oh Lord.

Let It Be True
03:19
|

|
How many times do we make the same
mistakes and never learn.
How many times must we touch the flame and burn.
In a world so obviously mad,
Where many have not and a few have.
Please let your love be true,
Please let your love be true.
It's four in the morning and I can't sleep,
It's gettin' so it hurts to think, but think is what I do.
If I fall short I'll wear the fall,
I'd rather be in pain than feel nothing at all
Please let your love be true
Let your love be true.
Let it be true, let it ring clear.
Let it be music to my ears
It can be old, borrowed or new
It can be anything, just let it be true.
It can be anything, just let it be true.
The morning comes crashing through the clouds
Intruder that it is, it's company now.
We both watch you as you peacefully sleep.
How sweet it must be, to be so unaware,
to awake and know I'll be there.
Please let your love be true
Let your love be true.
Let it be true, let it ring clear.
Let it be music to my ears
It can be old, borrowed or new
It can be anything, just let it be true.
It can be anything, just let it be true.
Let it be true.

Come And Go
02:58

|
Not sayin' I will, not sayin' I won't.
I'm not sayin' I do , I'm not sayin' I don't,
come and go.
I'm not sayin' I Love ya, I'm not sayin' I don't,
I'm not sayin' yes I'm not sayin' no,
Come and go.
Oh come and go, just like a thief in the night.
Come and go, your secret lover in broad daylight.
I'm not sayin' goodbye, I'm not sayin' hello.
I'm not sayin' I will, I'm not sayin' I won't
Come and go.
Come and go, just like a thief in the night.
Come and go, your secret lover in broad daylight.
I'm not sayin' I will, I'm not sayin' I won't,
I'm not sayin' I do, I'm not sayin' I don't
Come and go
I'm not sayin' I will, I'm not sayin' I won't,
I'm not sayin' I do, I'm not sayin' I don't
I don't know.

Destination
02:45
|
|||
|
Take me to the river, cleansed and forgiven there.
Take me to someplace else, that isn't here.
I learnt my lesson, I understand what I most fear.
It's not the destination, It's gettin' there.
Call on your forces of religion
call on your mountain moving faith.
Call on your powers of persuasion
just to get you through the day.
Lean on the strength of your convictions
wherever they may lay.
It's not the destination, It's gettin' there.
It's a shadowy world, It's a fall from grace.
This life is a precious absurdly short stay.
Living here we're sitting idle, lettin' it go to waste.
It's not the destination, It's gettin' there.
So even if tomorrow dawns all bloody and torn.
Or if it comes on a child sunrise to the manor born.
It's just a moment on the road to many more.
It's not the destination, It's gettin' there.

Down To The River
03:52
|

|
Went down to the river, to wash away my sin.
Went down to the river, but I just couldn't jump in.
And I remembered what a wise man told me, a long time ago.
Those words of wisdom, are burned in my soul.
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink,
and you can lead a man to knowledge, but you can't make him think.
I went down to the schoolhouse, to hear their point of view.
Some of the things that they taught me, just didn't ring true.
And I remembered what a wise man told me, a long time ago.
Those words of wisdom, are burned in my soul.
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink,
and you can lead a man to knowledge but you can't make him think.
Went down to the river, to wash away my sin.
Went down to the river, I tried to shed my skin,
And I remembered what a wise man told me, a long time ago.
Those words of wisdom, are burned in my soul.
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink,
and you can lead a man to knowledge but you can't make him think.
That's what he said.

A Little Broken
02:49
|

|
You're a little bit broken, baby come inside.
Your breathing backwards and you're choking
you got nothing to hide.
Your winter coat all threadbare and torn
come and stand next to my fire.
Let's get you warm, baby come inside.
Come down easy baby, baby come down slow.
You're not goin' anywhere else tonight
there's nowhere else to go.
Everything is falling hard tonight
the stars the rain the snow
Let's take it easy baby, let's take it slow.
You're just a little bit broken.

Get On Top
02:44
|

|
I got a suitcase full of Rock and Roll tucked up under my arm.
Come here baby take a walk with me, and I won't do you no harm.
You gotta get on top before you pop, I'll make you feel ten feet tall.
Just step yourself right up here baby, have yourself a ball.
You wanna get on, you wanna get on, you wanna get on.
You wanna get on, you wanna get on, you wanna get on.
You wanna get on, you wanna get on, you wanna get on.
You wanna get on, you wanna get on,
You know you wanna get on top.
Saturday night it's allright oh you're steppin' out,
You wanna jump jive and shout, just let it all hang out.
The band is loaded, primed, we're hot we're ready to roll.
So come on baby take a walk with me,
Shoot some straight to your soul.
You wanna get on, you wanna get on, you wanna get on.
You wanna get on, you wanna get on, you wanna get on.
You wanna get on, you wanna get on, you wanna get on.
You wanna get on, you wanna get on,
You know you wanna get on top.

It's Just You
05:05

Everyone falters, everyone halts.
The world stumbles to a stop.
Skies are empty, quiet ascends.
Everyone assumes this is the end.
It's just you, taking your love from me.
Time stands still, it stands on it's head.
The rain falls down, on a town painted red.
Those who are up, go back to bed.
Everyone assumes this is the end.
It's just you, taking your love from me.
Daylight fades, into the dark.
The moon is missing, so are the stars.
Everyone assumes this is the end
It's just you, this is the end.
