Doors Of My Heart (Dave Wakeling)
Every story has to be about something I suppose
This one says I lose my head as the feeling starts to grow, you know
I can feel love pumping at the doors of my heart
Feel love pumping as it tears me apart
Feel love pumping as the worrying starts
I can feel love pumping
At the doors of my heart again
At the doors of my heart again
Boom Boom, Ba boom boom x2
Everybody needs someone they can cling to now and then
No more defence, no more pretence, no reasons for explaining etc.
Every time it happens seem to act a little tough
In this at least you’re just like me
I think we think too much
Why can’t you just
Feel love pumping etc
Last night when I told you all that stuff about the way things are
You didn’t understand a word , but you said you did
Now I’m not the honest Joe I might seem, I can’t take your lies
It’s late I’m tired, your words just crackle along the wire
You got a problem baby, it’s all over now
You thought you had it made
It’s over, over
Missing words etc.................
It just don’t make sense the way you did the things you did
You might have thought that I was dumb, but I’m all wised up
Games up move on why don’t you get out of my hair
I wonder if you ever did really care
You got a problem baby etc......................................
Get up in the morning slaving for bread sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Oh oh oh oh ooh whoah mi Israelites x2
Get up in the morning slaving for bread sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Oh oh oh oh ooh whoah mi Israelites x2
Wife and mi kids them pack up an a leave im
Darling she said, I was yours to receive
Oh oh oh oh ooh whoah mi Israelites x2

Oh oh oh oh ooh whoah mi Israelites x2
After a storm there must be a calm
Catch im in your farm, you sound the alarm
Oh oh oh oh ooh whoah mi Israelites
Br. Im a wondering a wondering
Working so hard
Yes him a wondering a wondering
Look down pon mi Lord
Unbeaten and Unbowed (Pauline Black & Nick Welsh)
You may not be
What you want to be
But you followed your dream
Everyday
You travelled that road
The parallel road
No silver and gold
Along the way
You may not be a star
But you know just who you are
You may not be unbeaten
But you’re unbowed x2
You may feel sad
Like Johnny 2 Bad
You may feel down
Sometimes afraid
But you carry your load
Such a heavy load
Cross a river of blood
Never obey
You may not be a star etc.
You may work hard In another man’s yard
He may treat you bad Who can say
Just turn the other cheek And don’t feel weak
You can always fight another day
You may not be a star etc.
I saw you coming but I ducked out the way
Down some alley that’s never seen the day
The sun is shining and I’m feeling pretty bad
I’ve heard the rumours the gossip and spite
You wanna leave me and do what you like
Maybe you never loved me anyway
Money in my pocket and nowhere to go
Places I think of are so, so, so
Meeting people I just don’t want to meet
Today don’t shape up as the best I ever had
I’m out tonight looking for some bad action
But I can’t get no satisfaction.
Ssh, it’s just a whisper x3
It’s just a quiet thing, but it don’t bother me
I tell myself it is nothing to me.
I’ve heard the rumours the gossip and spite
You wanna leave me and do what you like
Maybe you never loved me anyway
Today don’t shape up as the best I ever had
I’m out tonight looking for some bad action
But I can’t get no satisfaction.
Ssh, it’s just a whisper x3
It’s just a quiet thing, but it don’t bother me
I tell myself it is nothing to me.
I got to run to keep from hiding
An I’m down keep on riding
I got one more silver dollar
An I ain’t gonna let em catch me no
Ain't gonna let em catch the midnight rider X2
I don’t own the clothes I’m wearing
And the road goes on for ever
I got one more silver dollar, etc
Yes I’m past the point of caring
Someone’s bag I’ll soon be sharing
I got one more silver dollar, etc.
Symphony of Love (Pauline Black & Nick Welsh)
Hear the wind in the wires
Mournful as a trombone slide
Whenever I do
It's a symphony of love for you
There can be no excuse
Words as sweet as orange juice
Wouldn't do
It's a symphony of love for you
And if the world should change
The world would change alone
And if it stayed the same
You’d still be on your own
Now you know
When you grow
You only reap what seeds you sow
If you do
It's a symphony of love for you
And if the world should change
The world would change alone
And if it stayed the same
You’d still be on your own
Rpt 3rd verse and 1st verse
Today I walk along this lonely street
Trying to find, find a future
New pair of shoes are on my feet
Cos fashion is my only culture
Nothing ever change, oh no
Nothing ever change
People say to me just be yourself
It makes no sense to follow fashion
How could I be anybody else
I don’t try, I’ve got no reasons
Nothing ever change, oh no
Nothing ever change
I’m just living in a world without meaning
I walk and walk, do nothing
I’m just living in a world without feeling
I talk and talk, say nothing
I walk along this same old lonely street
Still trying to find, find an answer
Policeman comes and smacks me in the teeth
I don’t complain, it’s not my function
Nothing ever change, oh no,
Nothing ever change
I’m just living in a world without meaning
I walk and walk, do nothing
I’m just living in a world without feeling
I talk and talk, say nothing
Heavy Rain (Pauline Black & NIck Welsh)
On and on and on
Hurting to the bone
On and on and on
Everyday
Always on the run
Heading far from home
Got to try and find
A better way
Still I’m lost
Still I’m lost
In heavy rain
Still I’m lost
Still I’m lost
In heavy rain
Down and down and down
Sinking like a stone
Round and round and round
I go
Searching for a place
I can call my own
Hoping I can find
A hand to hold
Still I’m lost
Still I’m lost
In heavy rain
Still I’m lost
Still I’m lost
In heavy rain, that’s falling
In a heavy rain that’s falling down on me
Still I’m lost
Still I’m lost
Still I’m lost
Still I’m lost
Once upon a time I had everything
Once upon a time I was sure
Now I can’t define, who I am no more
Then again, what was I before
Chorus ….outro…….
There is no more water, to put out the fire
There is no more water, to put out the fire
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn, burn, burn
Whoah oh oh, blood, blood, blood and fire x2
Judgement has come
Mercy has gone
All weak hearts shall lick out and spit x2
Whoah oh oh, blood, blood, blood and fire x2
There is no more water, to put out the fire
There is no more water, to put out the fire
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn, burn, burn
Whoah oh oh, blood, blood, blood and fire x2
Roll The Dice (Pauline Black & NIck Welsh)
Mamma said to papa don’t you roll the dice
I need a dollar for a bowl of rice
Don’t you roll, don’t you roll the dice no more
It’s not funny when you say
You give it all away
So honey gimme money
Don’t you roll the dice no more
But Papa said to mama, girl what can I do
I lost the money in a bandalu
I can’t do it, I can’t do it for you no more
It’s not funny when you say
You ‘re leaving me today
So honey give me money
And I’ll go right out the door
Such a wicked thing
A vicious sting
Money dropping from your pocket each day
You lie to your family
Steal all the bread away
Show some dignity
And humanity
You love your funny money more than me
Snake eyes calling you
Dollar gonna run away
Mama said to papa don’t you roll the dice
I need a dollar for a bowl of rice
Don’t you roll, don’t you roll the dice no more
It’s not funny when you say
You give it all away
So honey gimme money
Don’t you roll the dice no more
Such a wicked thing
A vicious sting
Money dropping from your pocket each day
You lie to your family
Steal all the bread away
Show some dignity
And humanity
You love your funny money more than me
Snake eyes calling you
Dollar gonna run away
Mama said to papa don’t you roll the dice
Stuck in the valley with a loaded vice
Mama said to papa don’t you roll the dice no more
(Losing everyday
All your flirty ways
Mama said to papa don’t you roll the dice no more
You’re losing every day etc...........
And all of your flirty ways
Mama said to papa don't you roll the dice no more
