1. NEXT TO YOU

I can't stand it for another day
When you live so many miles away
Nothing here is gonna make me stay,
You took me over, let me find a way.

I sold my house
I sold my motor, too
All I want is to be next to you
I'd rob a bank
Maybe steal a plane
You took me over,
Think I'm goin' insane.

What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you.

I've had a thousand girls or maybe more,
But I've never felt like this before
But I just don't know what's come over me,
You took me over, take a look at me.

What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you.

So many times I used to give a sign
Got this feeling, gonna lose my mind
When all it is is just a love affair
You took me over baby, take me there.

What can I do
All I want is to be next to you.


2. SO LONELY

Well someone told me yesterday
That when you throw your love away
You act as if you just don't care
You look as if you're going somewhere
But I just can't convince myself
I couldn't live with no one else
And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart.

So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely.

Now no one's knocked upon my door
For a thousand years or more
All made up and nowhere to go
Welcome to this one man show
Just take a seat they're always free
No surprise no mystery
In this theatre that I call my soul
I always play the starring role.

So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely.

So lonely.


3. WALKING ON THE MOON

Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break
Walking on the moon
We could walk forever
Walking on the moon
We could live together
Walking on, walking on the moon.

Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Feet they hardly touch the ground
Walking on the moon
My feet don't hardly make no sound
Walking on, walking on the moon.

Some may say
I'm wishing my days away
No way
And if it's the price I pay
Some say
Tomorrow's another day
You stay
I may as well play.

Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break
Walking on the moon
We could walk forever
Walking on the moon
We could be together
Walking on, walking on the moon.

Some may say
I'm wishing my days away
No way
And if it's the price I pay
Some say
Tomorrow's another day
You stay
I may as well play.

Keep it up, keep it up.


4. HOLE IN MY LIFE

There's a hole
In my life
There's a hole
In my life.

Shadow in my heart
Is tearing me apart
Or maybe it's just something
In my stars.

There's a hole
In my life
There's a hole
In my life.

Be a happy man
I try the best I can
Or maybe I'm just looking
For too much.

There's something missing from my life
Cuts me open like a knife
It leaves me vulnerable
I have this disease
I shake like an incurable
God help me please.

O, there's a hole
In my life
There's a hole
In my life.


5. THRUTH HITS EVERYBODY

Sleep lay behind me like a broken ocean
Strange waking dreams before my eyes unfold
You lay there sleeping like an open doorway
I stepped outside myself and felt so cold.

Take a look at my new toy
It'll blow your head in two, o boy
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone.

I thought about it and my dream was broken
I clutch at images like dying breath
And I don't want to make a fuss about it
The only certain thing in life is death.

Take a look at my new toy
It'll blow your head in two, o boy
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone.

Where you want to be
Won't you ever see.

Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Now.


6. BRING ON THE NIGHT

The afternoon has gently passed me by
The evening spreads its sail against the sky
Waiting for tomorrow
Just another day
God bid yesterday goodbye.

Bring on the night
I couldn't spend another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight.

The future is but a question mark
Hangs above my head there in the dark
Can't see for the brightness
Is staring me blind
God bid yesterday goodbye.

Bring on the night
I couldn't spend another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight.


7. DRIVEN TO TEARS

How can you say that you're not responsible?
What does it have to do with me?
What is my reaction, what should it be?
Confronted by this latest atrocity.

Driven to tears.

Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat
My comfortable existance is reduced to a shallow meaningless party
Seems that when some innocent die
All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine
Too many cameras and not enough food
'Cos this is what we've seen.

Driven to tears

Protest is futile, nothing seems to get through
What's to become of our world, who knows what to do.

Driven to tears.


8. THE BED'S TOO BIG WITHOUT YOU

Bed's too big without you
Cold wind blows right thru my open door
I can't sleep with your memory
Dreaming dreams of what used to be.

When she left I was cold inside
That look on my face was just pride
No regrets no love no tears
Living on my own was the least of my fears.

Bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big
Without you.

Since that day when you'd gone
Just had to carry on
I get thru day but late at night
Made love to my pillow but it didn't feel right.

Every day, just the same
Old rules for the same old game
All I gained was heartache
All I made was one mistake.

Now the bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big
Without you.


9. MESSAGE IN THE BOTTLE

Just a castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
With no one here but me
More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair.

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle.

A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life
But love can break your heart.

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle.

Walked out this morning
Don't believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles
Washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
A hundred billion casatways
Looking for a home.

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle.

Sending out an SOS.


10. ROXANNE

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night.

Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right.

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light.

I loved you since I knew you
I wouldn't talk down to you
I have to tell you just how I feel
I won't share you with another boy
I know my mind is made up
So put away your make up
Told you once I won't tell you again
It's a bad way.

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light.


11. CAN'T STAND LOSING YOU

I've called you so many times today
And I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say
That you don't ever want to see me again
And your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten
I guess you'd call it cowardice
But I'm not prepared to go on like this.

I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't stand losing you.

I see you've sent my letters back
And my LP records and they're all scratched
I can't see the point in another day
When nobody listens to a word I say
You can call it lack of confidence
But to carry on living doesn't make no sense.

I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing.

I guess this is our last goodbye
And you don't care so I won't cry
But you'll be sorry when I'm dead
And all this guilt will be on your head
I guess you'd call it suicide
But I'm too full to swallow my pride.

I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't stand losing you.
