Spandau Ballet Album

I dont wanna let you down, I just wanna kiss and turn this love around
It was searching for the sound
I dont wanna do you wrong, I just wanna take us back where we belong
We were hot and we were, oh so strong

Ooh I know I ll make it if we try
Reach for the stars and we can touch the sky

Chorus
Darling, once more
Wont you give me one more time
Say these words together, I need you more than ever try once more
One more chance to make it right
Never say never
Lets rise up together
Take on the world

I dont wanna change a thing
You dont wanna change this whisper to a scream
Same old song and different dream
Someone else steal the show
I cant believe I have your heart and let it go
Always love you but I didn t know

Ooh theres nothing standing in our way
We ve got the love but did we wanna play

(Chorus)

Mistakes around and around again
Another chance to make amends

(Chorus)

Lets rise up together
Take on the world (3x)

Soldier is turning
see him through white light
running from strangers
see you in the valley
war upon war
heat upon heat
To cut a long story short
I lost my mind
Sitting on a park bench
years away from fighting
to cut a long story short
I lost my mind
Standing in the dark
oh I was waiting for man to come
I am beautiful and clean
and so very very young
to be standing in the street
to be taken by someone
Questions questions
give me no answers
that's all they ever give me
questions questions
oh look at the strange boy
he finds it hard existing
to cut a long story short
I lost my mind

Thank you for coming home
I'm sorry that the chairs are all worn
I left them here I could have sworn
these are my salad days
slowly being eaten away
just another play for today
oh but I'm proud of you,but I'm proud of you
there's nothing left to make me feel small
luck has left me standing so tall
gold
always believe in your soul
you've got the power to know
you're indestructable
always believe in,because you are
gold
glad that you're bound to return
there's something I could have learned
you're indestructable,always believe in
after the rush has gone
I hope you find a little more time
remember we were partners in crime
it's only two years ago
the man with the suit and the pace
you know that he was there on the case
now he's in love with you,he's in love with you
and my love is like a prison wall
but you could leave me standing so tall
gold
always believe in your soul
you've got the power to know
you're indestructable
always believe in,because you are
gold
glad that you're bound to return
there's something I could have learned
you're indestructable,always believe in

So true
funny how it seems
always in time, but never in line for dreams
head over heels,when toe to toe
this is the sound of my soul
this is the sound
I bought a ticket to the world
but now I've come back again
why do I find it hard to write the next line
when I want the truth to be said
I know this much is true
With a thrill in my head an a pill on my tongue
dissolve the nerves that have just begun
listening to Marvin all night long
this is the sound of my soul
this is the sound
always slipping from my hands
sand's a time of t's own
take your seaside arms and write the next line
oh I want the truth to be said

I checked the time, it was almost time
a curious smell,an intangible crime
I'm washing my clothes,but the stain still grows
cover your eyes,the stain still shows
I feel the gaze against my skin
I feel the gaze against my skin
I know this feeling is a lie
I know this feeling is a lie
there's a guilt within my mind
there's a guilt within my mind
I don't need this pressure on
oh I should question not ignore
oh I should question not ignore
songs are always buried deep
songs are always buried deep
there's a lion in my arms
there is a motion in my arm
oh I should question not ignore
I should believe and not ignore
I don't need this pressure on
you go down,down
pass the talk of town
you go down greek street
then it's underground
well it's Soho life
for this mobile knife
it's the place to shoot
Friday night Beat Route

Passion take the wind
and break me from this tie
we're mortals on the earth
oh but God's in the sky
I haven't got a clue
I haven't got a thing
but what I give to you
is all that I could bring
I'll give you all my time
that's ev 'rything to me
you know my only crime
is this flight of fantasy
because I've nothing else here for you
and just because it's easier than the truth
oh if there's nothing else that I can do
I'll fly for you
Passion take the wind
and break me from this tie
we're mortals on the earth
oh but God's in the sky
I haven't got a clue
I haven't got a thing
but what I give to you
is all that I could bring
I'll give you all my time
that's ev 'rything to me
you know my only crime
is this flight of fantasy
because I've nothing else here for you
and just because it's easier than the truth
oh if there's nothing else that I can do
I'll fly for you
I'm just an average boy
you're more than an average girl
and when you sing to me the 'sho be doos'
you sing so well
oh don't you know that when I'm under you
I'm overjoyed

Laying in the after glow
I only want to learn what you know
but now you're leaving
how many hearts must you break?
how many calls must I make?
but now you're leaving
in this world all that I choose has come unbearable
but love is in your touch
oh it's killing me so much
only when tou leave
I'll need to love you
and when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
fool enough too long
only when you leave, you'll leave in danger
oh I'll make sure that you pay
so give a little passion to a stranger
and take this soul away
I only want to make this things last
so how could this have gone so fast
and now you're leaving
how many times must I learn
it' s only when you've gone that I burn
and now you're leaving
In the end, all that I left has come unbearable
it's hard to change your mind,
so leave it all behind
Only when you leave
I'll need to love you
and when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
fool enough to long
only when you leave,you'll leave in danger
oh I'll make sure that you pay
so give a little passion to a stranger
and take this soul away

Mother doesn't know where love has gone
She says it must be youth
That keeps us feeeling strong
See it in her face, that's turned to ice
And when she smiles she shows
The lines of sacrifice
And now I know what they're saying
When the sun begins to fade
And we made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
Father made my history
He fought for what he thought
Would set us somehow free
He tought me what to say in school
I learned off by heart
But now that's torn in two
And now I know what they're saying
In the music of the parade
We made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
Born on different sides of life
We feel the same
And feel all of this strife
So come to me when I'm asleep
We'll cross the line
And dance upon the street
And now I know what they're saying
When the drums begin to fade
We made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
Oh, turn around and I'll be there
There's a scar through my heart
But I'll bare it again
I thought we were the human race
But we were just another border-line-case
And the stars reach down and tell us
That there's always one escape
I don't know where love has gone
And in this trouble land
Desperation keep us strong
Fridays child is full of soul
With nothing left to lose
There's everything to go
And now I know what they're are saying
It's a terrible beauty we've made
So we make our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
Now I know what they're are saying
as hearts go to their graves
we made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades

She ran the risk from unity
obsession dies alone with tragedy
she loved like diamond
she loved like diamond
and cut so hard
she died
a passion course that leads to pain
an acid taste that laced her soul again
she loved like diamond
she loved like diamond
and cut so hard
she died
Another path,I've run them all
The rain has cleared the stains,no trace at all
she loved like diamond
she loved like diamond
and cut so hard
she died

Communication always leaves in incomplete
the grass is greener,but it's grown beneath my feet
love inspiration is a message on a wing
but I have left in the words you'll never sing
communication let me down
and I'm left here
communication let me down
and I'm left here
telex or tell me but it's always second-hand
I'm incognito but no rendez-vous been planned
dictate or relate I could send it to your home
"return to sender" I could sing it down the phone
I'm sitting and waiting by the telephone
waiting for the bell to ring
short change fumble
dial-a-heart trouble
and I ain't got time for searching through the rubble
communication let me down
and I'm left here
communication let me down
and I'm left here

Changing her colours she's off to the shore
she rides the soul train and he fight the law
there's a power in his voice and it makes her feel so sure
so live and live in love
one day he'll build a statue with his hands
so gentle when he tries to understand
this subterfuge he never really planned
now you're living in the Lifeline
we're moving
in the Lifeline
we're walking
in the Lifeline
we're throwing
so live and let live in love
exchanging their letters their exits begun
with deathless precision he's aiming his gun
a democracy of sorts that justifies the sun
so live and let live in love
neither has the ghost of a chance
those decisions only can be made once
you never really know just what you're giving
till you're living in the Lifeline
we're moving
in the Lifeline
we're walking
in the Lifeline
we're throwing
He could have built a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
you never really know just what you're giving
till you're living in the Lifeline
we're moving
in the Lifeline
we're walking
in the Lifeline
we're throwing to you
but I'm not living

Just leave me with the pride
that I worked for
now they've taken the reason away
just leave me with the pride
that I worked for
today
build on rock, or build on sand,
they're never gonna lend a hand
so nothing grows or nothing stands
I can't take any more
I can't take any more
there's not a lot of space for me
but I've still got my dignity
I've got my price
don't say I'm free
I can't take anymore
I can't take anymore
but I'm hungry
I could eat anything
but I'm hungry
oh, let's dance, oh, let's swing
and all that I hear are the words that she sings
now they've taken it all
now they've taken it all
I'd rather take this cure for life
than make myself a sacrifice
if living is to pay the price
I can't take anymore
I can't take anymore
it takes a while to understand
when your eyes are full of sand
when only time is in your hands
I can't take anymore
I can't take anymore
but I'm hungry
I could eat anything
but I'm hungry
oh, let's dance, oh, let's swing
and all that I hear are the words that she sings
now they've taken it all
now they've taken it all
just leave me with the pride
taht i worked for
now they've taken the reason away
just leave me with the pride
that i worked for
today
