Words Mick Hucknall Music Mick Hucknall & Fritz McIntyre

Something got me started
You know that I will love you
Lately since we parted
I truly know that I need you

I'd give it all up for you
(Yes I would)

Totally broken-hearted
Guilty of what I did to you
Lately since we parted
I truly know that I need you

I'd give it all up for you
(Yes I would)

You've got to help me, help me,help me

. . .


Words and music Mick Hucknall

Anyone who ever held you
Would tell you the way I'm feeling
Anyone who ever wanted you
Would try to tell you what I feel inside
The only thing I ever wanted
Was the feeling that you ain't faking
The only one you ever thought about
Wait a minute can't you see that I

I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend

For the man who tried to hurt you
He's explaining the way I'm feeling
For all the jealousy I caused you
States the reason why I'm trying to hide
As for all the things you taught me
It sends my future into clearer dimensions
You'll never know how much you hurt me
Stay a minute can't you see that I

I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend

Too many hearts are broken
A lover's promise never came with a maybe
So many words are left unspoken
The silent voices are driving me crazy
As for all the pain you caused me
Making up could never be your intention
You'll never know how much you hurt me
Stay can't you see that I

I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend

. . .


Words Mick Hucknall Music Mick Hucknall & Fritz McIntyre

OK, I'm the one who took you for granted
I've made my mistakes, wake up let's not 
Break up

Thrill me you've got a love so strong
Thrill me you really turn me on
Thrill me wait till tomorrow night
Thrill me I'm gonna treat you right

You said that I would never let you be alone
How many times have you been on your own
Worked all the days to find the things you try
To do
If only my heart would never let you through
Because you

Thrill me you've got a love so strong
Thrill me you just can't do me wrong
Thrill me wait till tomorrow night
Thrill me I'm gonna treat you right

The truth is you've gone and left me on my own
How can I face the fact you're really gone
Love was a phase we'd have to pray to make 
It true
If only my heart would've never let you through
Because you

Thrill me you've got a love so strong
Thrill me you really turn me on
Thrill me wait till tomorrow night
Thrill me I'm gonna treat you right

. . .


Words and music Mick Hucknall

I've got to stand up for myself
This society don't care about nobody else
I've got to be strong
Even if I know that this feeling is wrong
I've got to not care
Even if I know that this world is meant to
Share

Wait a minute. This is wrong
Even the birds still sing their faithful song
And your beauty lies within you
Look in the mirror baby
Look in the mirror baby

What you gonna do when your friends have 
Gone away
And deserted you
You'll have to be strong
24 hours can seem so long
You're taught to not care
And then not realise this world is meant to 
Share

Wait a minute. It's wrong
Even the birds still sing their faithful song
And your beauty lies within you
Look in the mirror baby
Look in the mirror baby

We've got to stand up for ourselves
Even if a leader so cold wants to glory himself
We've got to be strong
Even if our reasons seem wrong
We've got to not care
Even if the world that we know may not even 
Be here

Hold it! It's wrong
Even the birds still sing their faithful song
And your beauty lies within you
Look in the mirror baby
Look in the mirror baby

. . .


Words and music Mick Hucknall

I get off my things, I lay down in the sidelanes
I don't feel that I hide, just permanently ride
And I'm waiting for your gentle reign
Something that'll help me learn

But one look at her and you know
That she's got it bad
One look and the mirror shows
I live as I want
But she's got it bad

Check it out, check it out, roll up there now
Huh!
She's headed for a festival of heartache
Miss executive desperation you only suck the
Blood that's spilled
Your macho imitation femininity is killed
I pray that you don't feel no pain
Only if it helps you learn

But one look at her and you know
That she's got it bad
One look and the mirror shows
I live as I want
But she's got it bad
She knows it
It shows!

. . .


Words and music Mick Hucknall

You've got that look again
The one I hoped I had when I was a lad
Your face is just beaming
Your smile got me boasting, my pulse roller- coastering
Any way the four winds that blow
They're gonna send me sailing home to you
Or I'll fly with the force of a rainbow
The dream of gold will be waiting in your eyes

You know I'd do most anything you want
Hey I, I try to give you everything you need
I can see that it gets to you
I don't believe in many things
But in you I do

Her faith is amazing
The pain that she goes through contained in
The hope for you
Your whole world has changed
The years spent before seem more cloudy
Than blue
In many ways your baby's controlling
When you haven't laid down for days
For the poor no time to be thinking
They're too busy finding ways

You know I'd do most anything you want
Hey I, I try to give you everything you need
I'll see that it gets to you
I don't believe in many things
But in you I do

You know I'd do most anything you want
Every day I, try to give you everything you
Need
We'll always be there for you
I don't believe in many things
But in you I do

. . .


Words and music Mick Hucknall

Looking at yourself in the mirror baby
Telling yourself to be up this morning
Holding in your hand another mirror baby
One or two lines for confidence
Pretty little girl is climbing to the top
Her ageing takes her
Down, down, down

Eating alligator for dinner baby
A restaurant that made it to the top
Smoothies always get to pay for dinner baby 
The food was the last thing you came for
Pretty little girl is climbing to the top
Her ageing takes her
Down, down, down
You can see them fall

. . .


Words and music Mick Hucknall

How could I fall for someone so superficial?

Funny how the things that you can never have
Needle you more
Tired of standing in the rain
Praying for sunshine again

I remember your eyes
Wish I could see through them
How could I fall
If I could

Our love was like the wind
We blew it away
Tired of dealing with your games
Praying I'll never need you again

I remember your eyes
Wish I could see through them
We could have loved so much
Why didn't we try to make it right
Would it have been enough
If I could

I remember your eyes
Wish I could see through them
How could I fall
If I could

. . .


Words and music Mick Hucknall

How long are we gonna last
How long everybody has to ask

Freedom to joke
Freedom to hope
Freedom to win
Freedom to be in

How long are we gonna last
How long are we gonna have to ask

Freedom to joke
Freedom to hope
Freedom to win
Freedom to be in

How long, how long

. . .


Words and music Mick Hucknall

People, places
Pursuing the chases
Our moments were chosen
Her senses, explosion

Take your pulse and read it well
She never said you'd only get one chance
Pay your debt and bleed as well
You're living in the same circumstances

The end of an era
Our future no clearer
My people no stronger
The blame I lay on her

Wonderland, Wonderland
It's beautiful
Wonderland, wonderland
It's beautiful

Take your pulse and read it well
She never said you'd only get one chance
Pay your debt and bleed as well
You're living in the same circumstances

The end of an era
My future no clearer
Our people no stronger
The blame I lay on her

Wonderland, wonderland
It's beautiful
Wonderland, wonderland
It's beautiful

Fading away, fading away until tomorrow comes
To haunt us all
It's coming again, it's gonna pick up on you
And haunt you always

Wonderland wonderland
Fading away
