Joan Armatrading Album

In your eyes
I can see
Something
Something
So sure
In those eyes

As bright as the stars
As blue as the sky
I could die
In your eyes

In your eyes
I can see
Something
Something
So sure
And those eyes
Are not for hurting

You have the power
In those eyes
in your eyes

As bright as the stars
As blue as the sky
I could die
In your eyes

As bright as the stars
As blue as the sky
I could die
In your eyes

Well I've never met anyone
With your courage
And the way your enjoy life
Puts me to shame
Just an hour with you
And I understand
Why we had to meet

I saw you look in the mirror
And adjust your hair
Smile and leave the room

Just an everyday boy
Doing everyday things
But you're somebody special
Somebody who feels
You're not the first
And you won't be the last
But you are the one
I'll remember

It's God's revenge
You're surrounded by fear
A compassionate man
You hold people dear
No blame for the mother
Who curses your name
She fears for her son
It's death by association

But you respect yourself
And you let it show
Some fade with guilt
And the shame
They way you
Tell your story
With no tears
For yourself

Just an everyday boy
Doing everyday things
You're not the first
And you won't be the last
But you are the one
I'll remember

Hey hey
Just an everyday boy
Just an everyday boy

Doing everyday things
Just an everyday boy
Just an everyday boy
Just an everyday boy
Doing everyday things
Just an everyday boy

You're selling emotions
That I can't buy
Don't want the sadness
Price is far too high
And I don't want
I don't need your package lies
I've got too much in store

Someone help me
Find the merchant of love
Selling heaven here on earth
I've bought pain and measures
Of pure heartache
I've had all I can take

I'm willing to wait
For lasting pleasure
With promises
That won't ever break
Someone help me
Find the merchant of love
With a full guarantee

I'd travel
Miles and miles and miles
To find the place
With treasures
Much more rich than gold
I just want a heart
That captures my soul
And I'm willing to wait

I'm willing to wait
For lasting pleasure
With promises
That won't ever break
Someone help me
Find the merchant of love

Someone help me
Find the merchant of love
With full guarantee

It comes all shapes and sizes
It's something you can never buy
Don't wait until it's over
Before you say it's all been fun
Obituary columns are filled with love

Don't wait until I'm waving
And drowning in a sea of tears
It is too late tomorrow
Obituary columns are filled with love
Filled with love

If everybody said it to
The person that they feel it for
Then their heart
Would be full and free

It comes all shapes and sizes
It's something you can never buy
Don't wait
Don't wait

Obituary columns are filled with love
Filled with love

Don't wait until it's over
Don't wait until it's over
Obituary columns are filled with love
Filled with love
Filled with love
Filled with love
Filled with love

Ah, oh oh...

I've been up
I've been down
I've been every which way round
I was lost in a sea of self pity

I fooled myself
That I was fine
Someone who liked my company
I played host
I entertained Mr. Misery

And Mr. Sorrow
He'd come along sometimes
I never liked his face
And here we'd sit
Three musketeers
Sorry misery and me

Ah oh oh..
Hey I know
Where I would rather be

I may not get to heaven
You put me
Back on the road
Back on the road
I may not get to heaven
Ask myself
I'm back on the road
I'm back on the road
I'm back on the road

And Mr. Sorrow
He'd come along sometimes
I never liked his face
And here we'd sit
Musketeers
Sorrow
Misery
Me

Ah oh oh..
Guess where I'd rather be

I may not get to heaven
But with you
I'm back on the road
I'm back on the road
I'm back on the road
Again

Baby's gone
Baby's gone and left me
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry for the thing

I wouldn't blame you
If you never come back
Darling what you had to go through
I could never live like that
I was stupid stupid stupid
I'm ashamed

I lost the friends we made
I lost the money we saved
I lost the love you gave
In the early days
I had everything
Threw it all away
Threw it all away
I was mad

Darling I've changed
You have my word on that
I was a fool to myself
And a devil to you
Now I hurt you really hurt me
Ashamed
I miss the fun we had
I miss the games we played
I knew the score
Still I cheated
Now I'm history
Threw it all away
Threw it all away
I was mad I was mad
I was mad

I lost the friends we made
I lost the money we saved
I lost the love you gave
In the early days
I had everything
Couldn't ask for more
Threw it all away
It's so sad I was bad I was mad

I lost a precious thing
Respect from you
I blew it all
Now I want it back
It's good news day
When you call me up
Please won't you call me
I'll be good

If I'm feeling down
If I'm ever low
I just think of you
And the songs

Filled with lots of meaning
With everything I need
Spiritually healing
Words that comfort

You told me that you cared
You'd be there for me
Whenever I need
When you're far away and I need you hmm
The songs can bring you closer

If I'm ever down
If I'm feeling low I just think of you
And the songs

The ones that make me wonder
Will it be that good again
They inspire me to try
Oooo

You told me that you cared
You'd be there for me
Whenever I need
When you're far away and I need you
The songs can bring you closer

Songs that let the past
Flood into my mind
Take me to the place
That we left
It's such a strange sensation
To live that time again
Songs can save you
They can break you
Set you crying

You told me that you cared
You'd be there for me
Whenever I need
When you're far away and I need you hmm
The songs can bring you closer

A long time ago
You told me that you cared
You'd be there for me
Whenever I need
When you're far away and I need you hmm
The songs can bring you closer

Want you
And I don't know
What to do

Should I try to meet
You after work
By coincidence

Should I make a beeline
To your door, ring your bell
Ask someone to introduce us

Hey baby, would you like to dance
Would you like to see my yacht

Should I faint right at your feet
Walk right up and ask you
If you want to take a chance on me
Or start a conversation
With an old time melody

I'll treat you like a newborn child
Show a lot of self restraint

I want your loving
Can't live without you
Said I need your loving
Need your loving
Don't leave it too late
Said I need your loving
Need your loving

Hey baby, would you like to dance
I'd show a lot of self restraint

I want your loving
Can't live without you
And I need your loving
Need your loving
Can't live without you
Said I need your loving
Need your loving

Hey baby, would you like to dance
We could have a fine romance
Would you like to see my yacht
I'll give you every little thing I got
Treat you like a newborn child
Protect you from the world outside
Show a lot of self restraint
Until you say you're really ready

I want your loving
Can't live without you
Said I need your loving
Need your loving
Don't leave it too late
Said I need your loving
Need your loving
I want your loving
Can't live without you
Said I need your loving
Need your loving
Said I need your loving
Need your loving
Need your loving
Need your loving
Need your loving
Need your loving
Need your loving
I need your loving
Need your loving

If there is any other way I will find it
I will not be losing you
If I can help it
I won't take this lying down
I'm gonna fight for you
I'm in the middle
Not easy for me baby
Not easy for me

This may sound emotional
I have a dep sense of holding on

I'm gonna wrap you in my love
I'm gonna wrap you in my love
And I can recommend my love
I can recommend my love

I can't fake it
You are a big part of my life
And I won't make it
If I give up if I give in

This may sound emotional
I have a deep sense of holding on
I'm gonna hold on to you
No time for crying
I've got work to do

I've got to wrap you in my love
I've got to wrap you in my love
And I can recommend my love
I can recommend my love

I've got no time
To place the blame
You wanted to taste
Forbidden fruit
I could run you off in haste

But I'd repent of my leisure
For you
Oooh Ooh
I've got to wrap you in my love

I want it the way it was
All points to lead back home
You know I caught you
Fair and square
But I want you right back here
Where I can

Wrap you in my love
Love you darling
Oooh Ooh
Wrap you in my love
I've got to recommend my love

You put me in touch
With all my senses
You showed me the way

I've never been close
To such feelings
I did not beg
But you cured me of
My broken heart

I'll never forget
The day that we met
Hmm so sweet
Like honey from the bee

You put yourself square
To my defenses
Tore down the walls
Walked right in
And you stole my heart

Up up and above
Beyond the blue
Way beyond the stars
Someone looked at me
And thought of you
Reached out and touched us so soft
Like gentle snow

I'll never forget
The day that we met
You are so sweet
You're like honey from the bee

You put yourself square
To my defenses
Tore down the walls
Walked right in
And you
And stole my my heart

Tore down the walls
Stole my heart

Tore down the walls
Walked right in
And you stole my heart

Might as well ask me
To drown in the Dead Sea
You might as well ask me
To walk a high wire

You might as well say
The sky is falling
You can say stop
But I know I can't

I've been loving you far too long
I can't stop it
I've been loving you far too long
I can't stop it now

Coast to coast
I have seen the world
Seen the rest
And you are the best

CHORUS
Can't stop it baby
Can't stop this love for you

All my moods
You always win me round
Don't leave me darling
Don't wanna
Learn a brand new dance

Might as well ask me
To steal the Taj Majal
Spend a night along
In a haunted house

You can say stop
But I know I can't

Can't stop it baby
Can't stop this love for you
Can't stop it baby
Can't stop this love for you

Can't stop loving you
Can't stop loving you
Can't stop loving you
Can't stop it baby
Can't stop this love
I have for you darling
Deep down inside
I will always love you darling

Can't stop it
Can't stop can't stop
Can't stop can't stop
Can't stop can't stop
This feeling

Say stop but I know
I can't stop I can't stop
I can't stop I can't stop
I can't stop can't stop
Loving you darling
I can't stop loving you
I can't stop I can't stop

Dreams of building a fortress
A castle made of stone
A castle made of stone
A castle made of stone

Dreams of building a fortress
A castle made of stone
A castle made of stone
Works himself to a pony shape
But he just can't get it

Jumps quite high
But he can't trust the sky
Walks quite far
But he can't make the mile
Charts his course
But he never sets sail

Jumps quite high
But he can't trust the sky
Walks quite far
But he can't make the mile
Charts his course
But he never sets sail

He would die for a Porsche
All covered up with chrome
All covered up with chrome

He would die for Porsche
All covered up with chrome
All covered up with chrome
Works so hard
But he just can't get it

Youth all spent
On a pie in the sky
Ace is high
But the thing is to try
Ladyluck
Won't you give up a smile

CHORUS:
Jump that jump
Can trust the sky
Walk that walk
You'll reach the mile
Chart that course
Buddy let us set sail
Let us set sail

Da Da Da Da...

Works himself to a pony shape
But he just can't get it right

Jump that jump
Can trust the sky
Walk that walk
Chart that course
Let us set sail

CHORUS

Da Da Da Da...

You've lived your life
And how you survived
I'll never know
People talk of hardships
What do they know
What do they know
Of the strength you had to show

To stop yourself from crying out
To keep you head above the sand
Those times when you were in dispair
When trouble seemed your only friend
Somehow you kept your spirits high
You told him straight don't call again

Now there were times
When it seemed I didn't care
Don't misjdge my silence
You had my sympathy
I had sympathy
And I admired how you

Stopped yourself from crying
Kept your head above the sand
When trouble seemed your only friend
Somehow you kept your spirits high
You told him straight
Don't call again

And now the future's looking bright
You fought alone and won the fight
Kept your faith
When times were hard you made it through
Trouble seemed your only friend
Somehow you kept your spirits high

You stopped yourself from crying out
You kept your head above the sand
Those times when you were in despair
Trouble seemed your only friend
Somehow you kept your spirits high
You told him straight
Don't call again
