Force Five Wind
06:26
|

It’s a force five wind
It’s blowing my mind
Upsets my soul
It’s the hurtin’ kind
It can knock down trees
It can level the land
Creates uncertainties
And it’s made by man
You can do the Watusi
You can run or dance
Nothing can stop it
it’s just out of our hands
Tell you what I’m gonna do
Gonna run away with you
Caress your body to mine
And leave this world behind
It’s like a hurricane
Coming on through
You can’t stop a train
When it’s up on you
Got no respect for riches
And it destroys the skies
Breaking up the cities
You can hear their cries
You can do the Watusi
You can run or dance
Nothing can stop it
it’s just out of our hands
tell you what I’m gonna do…

Double Trouble
02:59
|
|||
Here she comes in her brand new dress
Made up to the eyes, she’s out to impress
Make sure she doesn’t catch your eye
Sooner or later she’ll make you cry
Don’t want her lovin’ and dangerous ways
She’ll keep you hungry
It’ll last for days
You keep the blues and I’ll have the greys
Don’t listen to her no matter what she says
She’s double trouble
She’ll bring you down
She’s double trouble
When she comes around
She’s double trouble
Watch what you say
She’ll steal your heart away
She’s double trouble…

This Is It
04:15
|

I got my hands to my face
I’m amazed at this
Well I’m looking through my fingers
Cos I don’t wanna miss
Somebody on the high wire takin a chance
Good luck to you mister
Cos I’m one of your fans
Baby this is it, I said this is it
Somethin’ on my mind disappears from view
Been a long time to be thinkin’ it through
Everybody needs somebody
Am I gettin’ to you
This is it, I said this is it
We were young and in love
We used to dream and shout
All the time in the world
It was never in doubt
Sneakin’ out the back door
Going to a show
Watch you puttin’ on your makeup
Was some time ago
This is it, I said this is it
I used to play my records they were 45s
Get into something reckless
Gotta duck before you dive
You never stop learnin’
Gettin’ taken by surprise
Take the mask off the future
It hits you right between the eyes
This is it, I said this is it

Soul Cafe
03:30
|
|||
At the Soul Café, you move on or stay
It’s where you make your play for your life
It can be found they say, down Mexico way
You make decisions on the edge of a knife
Reflections of the past, did you move too fast?
Feel the pain that lasts just too much
And all the love you hide, is on the devil’s side
But you can let it loose with just a touch
Now you can play the game, to get back the flame
That he stole from you in the night
You hear evil cries through that thin disguise
Can you rescue her without a fight?
You can make a deal, for your soul I fear
Pray that that would seal her release
Then would come the time when you would cross the line
And you would have to fire the Guns of Peace

Mean Cat Woman
03:01
|
|||
You know that you’ve seen here when she walks through the door
Makes your knees go weak as you slip to the floor
I like the way she walks when she steps in
Well I know what you’re thinkin’ and I know it’s a sin
Mean cat woman you sure are somethin’
Moves like a panther when she goes for a man
Makes you feel nervous with the touch of her hand
I’m a believer cos I’ve seen it before
And the way that she moves I feel she’s breakin’ the law
Mean cat woman you sure are somethin’
The way you walk on those high steppin’ stilts
Makes my soul feel hot right up to the hilt
You got a mean, mean smile and real fiery eyes
There’s not a man I know who’s up to your size
Mean cat woman you sure are somethin’

Got a Feeling
03:17
|
|||
Got a feeling I’m alone now
With a pocket full of dread
Got a crazy feeling
Voices in my head
Got a feeling it’s over
I’ve been taken for a ride
Got a feeling I’ve been blown here
The hell I cried
Got a feeling this is madness
Got a feeling this is rogue
Got a feeling this is sadness
Breaking up the vogue
Got a feeling I’m not wanted
Got this feeling in my blood
Got a feeling it’s rejection
And it must be understood
Got a feeling that it’s over
And the judge is satisfied

Make Me Shine
02:46
|
|||
You can make me shine
You can make me glow
With my head held high
And my toes a-glow
When you come to me
I feel your special effects
I can fly like superman
Take on many more quests
(Chant)
You can give the sun
You can give the moon
Give me days of fire
Give me nights of swoon
And if I die right now
I’ll be happy to the end of my death
That’s a long long time
But I won’t be holdin’ my breath
(Chant)

Mahavishnu
02:40
|
|||
I feel at any moment things will drastically change
We know these are the times when nothing’s ever the same
We choose our own direction so we know who to blame
Then we do the Mahavishnu
To expect the unexpected and to move with the times
Then you find that they’ve neglected just to tell you their crimes
It comes around the corner shock attack from behind
Then we do the Mahavishnu

Along the Road
03:44
|

I don’t intend playing round with your sister
Prefer to sneak up on you
I don’t regret the day I kissed her
One of these things people do
Excuse me while I speak to this guy
He’s a friend of mine too
Do I see secrets there in your eyes
Or just the way he looks at you?
By and by now you’re gonna lie
Somewhere along the Road
By and by now you’re gonna lie
Somewhere along the road
Why don't you take me back to your place?
Ill sure show you a good time
I’d like to see the look on your face
When you find out who I am
By and by now...

Game of Chance
04:50
|
|||
Out in the street
Headlights are glowing
It’s not really going
Like we planned
On the sweat from the heat
Falls the new generation
Calls the public relations
To the stand
Do you wanna see me crawl as the powers go crazy?
Would you throw it all away just to make demands
No Magic that I know has the power to save this
Game of Chance
The poison is sweet
All over the nation
The new limitations
Take command
Can I fall on my feet
With no expectations
Leave the distant ovations
In your hands?

Is It Too Late?
03:08
|
|||
We’re lookin’ down the barrel of a 45
How far can we travel
Can we really survive
We’re using up our planet
We’re leaving many scars
By the time we understand it
We’ll be heading out for Mars!
I’m up to here with advertisin’
People tellin’ me I’m wrong
So it isn’t so surprising
That it comes out in this song
There’s too much monkey business
Gettin’ justice takes too long
I’d find a desert isle
But there’s an unexploded bomb!
Is it too late?
The world is knocking at your garden gate.
Don’t you know we lost the reason for it all
Maybe this is the season for those thoughts
Feel the beat of your heart and the sky above
Know when things are a lie when push comes to shove
They’re givin’ you your heroes
They’re pullin’ all the strings
Your clock is reading zero
Can you really make it sing
They make you watch the TV while people sell you things
Your image is not perfect but your avatar is king!
Is it too late?
The world is knocking at your garden gate.
Take your eyes from your i-Pod and watch the red sun rise
Be at one with some animal and feel their pulses rise
Recognise all the nature and everchangin’ skies
Take one step to the future and open up your eyes
Is it too late?
The world is knocking at your garden gate.

Hurry On
04:01
|
|||
Hurry on, hurry on
What’s before hasn’t gone
Cross the sea, through the sky
Hold your heart, feel your eye
Tell the wind, even sing
Shout aloud, let it ring
Don’t take long on your journey
Hurry on.
Telling tales of the days
When you lived your own ways
Sat alone in the cold
Just as though you’re made of stone
Now it’s over, you’re much bolder
Time has gone and you’re much older
Just the sun and your body
Carry on
With each hour, feel the power
You’ve become a growing tower
But you move as a dove
From below, and above
You can hear, you can feel
Soft green lands at your heel
Time has always just begun
Hurry on
You’re a man in the wilderness
A Christopher, an Orpheus
A traveller of golden seas
The mariner, and Ulysses
To prove nothing more
Than to move through open doors
All the world you have won
Hurry on
