Cable Car to Your Heart
03:50
|

I gotta storm the gates
And when I've stormed the gates
I sneak up on the guards
And when I beat the guards
I gotta run like hell
I better know my way
Get the motor started
It's a long,long way
On a cable car to your heart
I gotta climb on board
And once I've got on board
Looky-look behind me
Who's creeping up behind me?
And now the car's ascending
It's time for fight or flight
Such a long way down
I better hold on tight
On a cable car to your heart
No time for hoping and wishing
I gotta finish the mission
I'm outside your chamber
And I can feel the danger
Light the dynamite
Woman hold on tight
We'll descend the walls
While the fortress falls
On a cable car to your heart

I Can't Lose You
03:04
|

Like a shadow on my tail
You can never ever fail to be seen
Always in the mirror
Every morning staring back at me
I go up and down
Around and around
High and low until there’s nowhere else to go
I cant lose you if I tried
You’re the whisper in my ear
When I’m down in the deepest of doubts
You paint me into a corner
When all I want to do is get out
I go up and down
Around and around
High and low until there’s nowhere else to go
I cant lose you if tried

(You Got Me) Spinnin'
04:04
|
|||
Runnin' circles and silently yearning
For my feet to keep ground
Punch drunk from the tables you're turning
Girl your up is my down
So unsteady
I ain't ready
As the wheel spins round again
Can't tell my left from my right from my wrong girl
I'll just follow your call
No sympathy for a gambler like me
You'll be taking it all
I'm a living, loving ruin of a man you made
Girl you got me spinning
Spinning like a top girl
And I don't think I can stop
Pirouetting and marionetting
It ain't easy to see
All this motion without any notion
Of where your love's leading me
I'm a living, loving ruin of a man you made
Girl you got me spinning
Spinning like a top girl
And I don't think I can stop

Lay It Low
03:19
|
|||
Call me anytime you want me
Anytime you want means anytime at all
The service I'm providing is strictly confidential
It's ours for taking if we want it
And it ain't nobody's business but our own
Save it for the times you don't wanna be alone
You gotta lay it low
Right now
Keep it on the low down
Lay it low
Right now
Keep it on the low down
It could mean something
Or it could mean nothing
Call it what you want now honey
Easy come and easy go
It don't cost nothing
But you can have everything
You've got it how you want it
But you've got to lay it low
Right now

You can't do that type of thing no more
Running round breaking hearts just because you can
You can't do that type of thing no more
Running round breaking hearts just because you can
You can't do that type of thing no more
Sooner or later word gets round
Your reputations going down
Leaving you like the lonely man in town
You can't do that type of thing no more
Talking real loud like nobody cares what you say
You can't do that type of thing no more
Talking real loud like nobody cares what you say
You can't do that type of thing no more
Your talk will come back and bite you hard
With your tongue tied up in low regard
And you'll be sorry that you ever did one day
You can't do that type of thing no more
Steppin' on heads just to get next to the prize
You can't do that type of thing no more
Steppin' on heads just to get next to the prize
You can't do that type of thing no more
The prize will never satisfy
Your making enemies while you're riding high
The sword's not just to live by, it's to die by

Do You Want My Love?
03:36
|
|||
Girl you got me hypnotised
Am I just the type of guy to treat you like a prize?
You ain't gonna compromise
You just cast me aside with your roaming eyes
Do you want my love or don't you babe?
Keep it steady as she goes
Still you got me girl, you got me on my tippy-toes
Wondering just how long
'Til I turn my head and you'll be gone
Do you want my love or don't you babe?
Baby are you just shooting lines?
Am I just here to pass the time?
I can't see your eyes meet mine
At all
Am I just here to tag along?
Because I feel like I don't belong
Maybe you think I can't be strong
You're wrong
Keep it steady as she goes
Still you got me girl, you got me on my tippy-toes
Wondering just how long
'Til I turn my head and you'll be gone
Do you want my love or don't you babe?

Love Defibrillator
03:17
|

My pulse slows down when you are not around
Shock me with your love defibrillator
And all my vital signs are going down
Shock me with your love defibrillator
I think I'm gonna flatline
Girl don't waste no time
Clear the area
Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep
Shock me with your love defibrillator
Jolt me back to life you do it right
Shock me with your love defibrillator
Electrify me back towards the light
Shock me with your love defibrillator
Get down on me woman
Help me stabilise
Clear the area
Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep
Shock me with your love defibrillator

The Making of Me
03:16
|
|||
First you're on the cusp of a something
Next you're on a hiding to nothing at all
Word gets round you're the toast of the town
Then they're done blowing smoke, and nowhere to be found
Walk tall while you can, pretty soon you'll be down on your knees
It don't make no sense but it's sure been the making of me
Pushing hard but you ain't moved a yard
Grinding to a halt while you look for the fault
Watch the world pass you by without trying
Leaving you to linger at the back of the line
If it's all just a game then you ain't even made the substitute team
That's as good as it gets and it's sure been the making of me
Contemplating your dreams evaporating
When you should be thinking on the things that keep you alive
Wind your clock and rise up to the top
There's so much up there that's waiting just for you to arrive
Get busy marching to your own drum, let it be your decree
There's nothing left to lose and it's sure been the making of me

Days
03:32
|
|||
The journeys long, the roads are dark and winding
My eyes are so tired the headlights are blinding
I'm just counting days until I'm home
Days away
Home is your heart
And I'll never depart again
Your eyes light the way, your smile's the horizon
Keep on marching on, your love is the prize
I'm just counting days until I'm home
Days away
Home is your heart
And I'll never depart again
Longing to rest
My head on your breast
So within reach
And I must not digress
Gonna find my way
Counting down the days

High Horse
03:25
|
|||
Drop the scornful cry
Cast the mote from your eye
You're no better than I
In the end
Yeah you patronise
And you sermonise
Like a devil in disguise
You pretend
Get off your high horse
Giddy up begone or get on down
Get off your high horse
Giddy up begone or get on down
For expedience
You jump over the fence
Retro-fitting your own history
You find others to despise
But the mirror never lies
And you know you dont like what you see
Get off your high horse
Giddy up begone or get on down
Get off your high horse
Giddy up begone or get on down
