She can't help
The way she is
And Cupid's arrow
Will never miss
It's the way the Devil made her
Was on a boat
Lost at sea
Heard her voice
Calling me
But she's a siren, not a saviour
Oh, it's the way the Devil made her
She's got a gift for breaking hearts
Guess that was the deal, right from the start
Now I don't care
Who you are
Her painted claws
Are gonna leave a scar
It's the way the Devil made her
Sent to Earth
To drive men mad
She'll twist your mind
And then leave you sad
She's a siren, not a saviour
Oh, it's just the way the Devil made her
She's got a gift for breaking hearts
Guess that was the deal, right from the start
No, she can't help
The way she is
And Cupid's arrow
Has never missed
It's just the way the Devil made her
Oh, it's the way the Devil made her
She's got a gift for breaking hearts
Guess that was the deal, right from the start
Was on a boat
Lost at sea
Heard her voice
Calling me
She's a siren, not a saviour
Oh, it's just the way the Devil made her
Oh, it's the way the Devil made her
Oh, the way the Devil made her

Ain't Gonna Fall
03:53
|

|
I don't wanna fall, in love again
It's just a trap for fools
A game that has no rules
I know how it will end
So, I don't wanna fall, in love again
My heart and soul are bruised
From the things that I've been through
Yeah, I know what love can do
And when I hear love's call
Well I've been there before
So, I ain't gonna fall
I don't wanna fall, in love again
So don't look at me that way
I'm happy alone today
And that's how I plan to stay
My heart and soul are bruised
From the things that I've been through
Yeah, I know what love can do
And when I hear love's call
I won't be fooled at all
No, I ain't gonna fall
I don't wanna fall, in love again
It's just a trap for fools
A game that has no rules
I know how it will end
My heart and soul are bruised
From the things that I've been through
Yeah, I know what love can do
And when I hear love's call
I won't be fooled at all
I ain't gonna fall
No, I don't wanna fall in love
Don't wanna fall in love
Oh, I ain't gonna fall in love
In love again

2020 Blues
02:30
|

|
My girl done left me
My job left me too
I'm standing at the crossroads
Without road-map and without a clue
But I can see clearly
I got nothin' to lose
Got 2020 vision
'n' I got the 2020 blues
Peter Green has left the scene
'n' everythin' has gone bad
I'm left at the crossroads
Of the sane and the mad
Yet I can see clearly
I got nothin' to lose
Got 2020 vision
'n' I got the 2020 blues
Yeah, I can see clearly
I got nothin' to lose
Got 2020 vision
'n' I got those 2020 blues
Well, my girl done left me
My job left me too
I'm standing at the crossroads
With the 20 20 blues

Angel

You're beautiful and you're kind
You soothe my weary mind
You're everything I hoped and dreamed
You would be
You take away my pain
And brighten up my day
You're an angel
To the likes of me
So bring it back, to me
'Cus I'm in purgatory
Oh won't you please
Bring your love back to me
Oh, let it shine, on me
Shine your light, set me free
Won't you please
Shine your sweet light on me
You're beautiful and you're kind
You soothe my weary mind
You're everything I hoped and dreamed
You would be
You brighten up my day
You take my pain away
You're an angel
To the likes of me
Bring it back, to me
'Cus I'm in purgatory
Oh won't you please
Bring your love back to me
Shine your light, on me
Shine your light, set me free
Won't you please
Shine your sweet light on me
Won't you shine, on me
Shine your light, set me free
Won't you please
Shine your sweet light on me
Yes, you're an angel
To the likes of me

Laugh Or Cry
02:33
|
|||
|
Who's to say if we'll laugh or cry
Another year down the road
And who can see how the land will lie
All I know is I don't know
Birds will fly in the clear blue sky
It's safe to say the world will turn
As for you & I will we crash or fly
Another year down the road
Who can see how the land will lie
Another year down the road
Who can say if we'll laugh or cry
All I know is I don't know
So while we lie under, clear blue skies
Make the most of every day
'Cus who can say if we'll laugh or cry
Another year down the road
And who can say if we'll crash or fly
Another year down the road

Let's go drive
To the sea
Let's go see
What we can see
Wanna feel the sea breeze
And feel free
Gonna be
Who we wanna be
Drive
Feel alive
Gotta find that special place
That puts a big smile on my face
So let's drive
To the sea
And let's see
What we can see
Wanna feel the sea breeze (are we there yet)
And feel free (are we there yet)
Gonna be
Who we wanna be

Somewhere In Time
02:17
|

|
Somewhere in time
Far away on a distant shore
You will be mine
I could not ask for more
While we're waiting for our paths to cross
Waiting patiently
I will have faith in the future
'Cus what's meant to be will be
And somewhere in time
Far away on a distant shore
You will be mine
I could not ask for more
While we're waiting for our ship to come
Waiting patiently
I will have faith in the future
For it's destiny
That somewhere in time
Far away on a distant shore
You will be mine
I could not ask for more
Oh, somewhere in time
Oh, somewhere in time

Love Me For Me
03:07

|
Love me for me
Not for my money
And not for the things I can give
Love me for me
I don't wanna worry
That I'm just your meal ticket
Oh can't you see
How love should be
For better or worse
You and me
For rich or for poor
Evenly
I love you for you
Love me for me
Love me for me
The person inside
Needs to be nurtured
Needs to be in the light
Hope you can see
The real me
I'm nobody's trophy
It's no mystery
How love should be
For better or worse
You and me
For rich or for poor
Evenly
I love you for you
Love me for me
Oh, love me for me
It's really no mystery
How love should be
For better or worse
You and me
For rich or for poor
Evenly
I love you for you
Oh, won't you love me for me
Oh, love me for me
Oh, sweet darling
Can't you love me for me
'Cus I need ya
Yeah, won't you love me for me
Oh, bitter sweet darling
Just love me for me

Eternity
03:30
|

|
And though I walk
Through the valley
And I face
Eternity
Oh, I will wash away
The sinner in me
I will go down
To the river
And let it wash
Wash over me
Oh, and wash away the sinner in me
Oh and just
Just when I thought
I would never
Never be free
Oh, I washed away the sinner in me
(Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil; for thou art with me)
Oh and wash away the sinner in me
Oh and Lord
Lord have mercy
On my tawdry
Twisted soul
Oh and please wash away the sinner in me
And though I walk
Through the valley
I will fear
Nothing but Thee
Oh Lord, wash away the sinner in me
And as I'm welcomed
Into the arms
The loving arms
Of eternity
Oh, I'll have washed away the sinner in me
Yes, I'll have washed away the sinner in me

In A Time Of Crisis
02:21
|
|||
|
This moment comes to you
After all that you've been through
Emotion breaking free
In shades of pain and ecstasy
Hold on to this lonely moment
And find a place in your heart
It's only looking back that we can
See where it fell apart
Some moments come to you
To offer hope, to pull you through
Emotion breaking free
In shades of pain and ecstasy
Hold on to this lonely moment
And find a place in your heart
True love in a time of crisis
When there's nothing left to be torn apart
Hold on to this lonely moment
And find a place in your heart
It's only looking back that we can
See where we fell apart

Lockdown Christmas
04:00
|

It's gonna be a lockdown Christmas
I feel it in the air
What a perfect way
To end a perfect year
I went down to the book-makers
Told him I got me a sure thing
Put down every last penny I have
'n' said listen here, listen here
It's gonna be a lockdown Christmas
I feel it in the air
What a perfect way
To end a perfect year
Well even in a lockdown Christmas
There's magic in the air
And time to show the ones you're close to
That you care
But if you like goin' to the pub
Or maybe just out to eat some grub
I'm sorry but I think you're might be out of luck
Because
It's gonna be a lockdown Christmas
I feel it in the air
What a perfect way
To end a perfect year
I don't think Santa Claus will be allowed
To do his usual thing going from house to house
The poor fella's only trying to be kind
But if he does it this year, he'll be fined
It's gonna be a lockdown Christmas
I feel it in the air
Oh, what a perfect way
To end a perfect year
(Everybody sing!)
It's gonna be a lockdown Christmas
I feel it in the air
What a perfect way
To end a perfect year
But even in a lockdown Christmas
There's magic in the air
And time to show the ones you're close to
That you care
You gotta show the ones you're close to
That you care
Now that's a perfect way
To end a perfect year
It's time to show the ones you're close to
That you care
Oh yeah
