Foolish Pride
03:38
|
|||
|
You all know the type
The sheep in wolves clothing
First sign of a fight
They're gone before you know it
Put a bullet to your head
Because seeing is believing
Go that way again
Now you don't know, you see me
Six of one or the other
You'd back me in a corner
With a roadblock ahead
Smart money takes a detour
A fool and his pride are easily parted
A foolish man cant be smart can't be wise
The lavish & the loaded
The price they'd have you pay
And no-one knows your own mind better than they say
Standing up on ceremony
A hard head soon softens up
It's worm food in a cemetery
After one, two, many steps
A fool and his pride are easily parted
A foolish man cant be smart can't be wise

Go And Tell Her
03:25
|
|||
|
Go and tell her
What you really want to say
Go and tell her
Tell her what you really want to say
Tell her
Tell her
If you don't show how will she know?
You know she won't know if you don't show?
Go and tell her
What you really want to say
Go and tell her
Tell her what you really want to say

Feels So Good
03:33
|
|||
|
So here we are once again
Saying to ourselves all is well
Can't complain there's nothing wrong
We shoulda felt like this all along
Ooh yeah, it feels so good
Always knew that it would
Try a smile for size
If it fits it's yours and mine
Take your time
Take it easy
Nothing could be sweeter
Ooh yeah, it feels so good
Always knew that it would
See it for yourself
Check it, check it out
See it for yourself
Check it, check it, check it out
Ooh yeah, it feels so good
Always knew that it would
Sun is out, tell the world
Could this be a thing called love
Yes we're here once again
Tell everyone you can that
Ooh yeah, it feels so good
Always knew that it would

We Did Then
03:35

What life has taught me
Is there to learn
Is there to learn
We did then
How we knew then
Now we know better
We're gonna do it different
All my life I've been banging my head against the wall
Expecting to fail
But now my sight has been giving back to me
I'm seeing more clearly
We did then
How we knew then
Now we know better
We're gonna do it different
For the first time, I'm not a victim of my own making
Give thanks for a new day dawning
It's true to say, we should never use the word regret
It's a learning process
We did then
How we knew then
Now we know better
We're gonna do it different
What life has taught me
Is there to learn
So look all around you
Try seeing with the eyes of a child
Thinking with the mind of a child
Everything is brand new
Everything is brand new
We did then
How we knew then
Now we know better
We're gonna do it different

I Need Love
04:09
|
|||
|
Know I need love
Like I need love
When I need a helping hand
And I'm not feeling strong
I hold out for someone to come along
Someone like you
Someone like you
In a time like this
I'm not too proud to pray
Give thanks for everything
Don't need a certain day
Know I need love
Like I need love
When I need a helping hand
And I'm not feeling strong
I hold out for someone to come along
someone like you
Living each day at a time
Enjoying each moment at a time
Accepting hardships as the pathway to my peace
Taking this world as it is
Taking this world as it is
Know I need love
Like I need love
When I need a helping hand
And I'm not feeling strong
I hold out for someone to come along
Someone like you
Someone like you
Someone like you
Someone like you

Whats Going On?
03:46
|
|||
|
If you're not part of the solution
Then you must be part of the problem
So you got your right wrong
While all along your wrong was right
Why do you believe everything you see on your T.V. screens?
Open your eyes
Realize
There's more to the truth
Then you can see
What's going on?
Now you say you're mixed up
And you say you've had enough
Isn't it strange how people views are easily changed
What's going on?
Now you're living in a bubble
Yes you are
Never been in trouble
So good so far
What's going on?
Open your eyes
Ask yourself why
Why do you believe
Everything you read in a magazine
What's going on?

Listen To The Man
03:18
|
|||
|
Listen to the man
Moya, Yeah, Why?
The hardest thing
It's the hardest thing
Listen to the man
Who doesn't know a thing
He always talks his way
Into every situation
Sorry for the boys
Who haven't got a voice
They never get their say
In any conversation
It's easy to say it's easy
When it's not that hard
Yeah I should know
Yeah I should know
Listen to the man
Moya, Yeah, Why?
The hardest thing
It's the hardest thing
Listen to the man
Who doesn't know a thing
Listen to the fool
Not sitting on any hill
He's sitting right here
Right here
Bending my ear
Right here
They say it's hard
It's the hardest thing
To change yourself
The way you think
Before you change the world

Where Do You Stand
03:23
|
|||
|
Looks like it's gonna rain today
Wonder if it's the same around your way
They want you to see
What they want you to see
Nothing more or less
For you to digest
Where do you stand
Which side of the fence are you on?
Is the grass greener over there
Where you say you come from?
On the other side
You can see for miles
On the other side
They're having a good time
Sounds like a case of the bland leading the dead to me
or maybe it's just a case of mistaken identity
They want you to see
What they want you to see
Nothing more or less
So you can digress
Where do you stand
Which side of the fence are you on?
Is the grass greener over there
Where you say you come from?
On the other side
You can see for miles
On the other side
They're having a good time
On the other side
You can see for miles, and miles, and miles
Where do you stand
Which side of the fence are you on?
Is the grass greener over there
Where you say you come from?
Where do you stand?

My Life
03:21
|
|||
|
My life is my life
And I can do what I like
I don't care who tries to tell me I'm wrong
Because my life is my life
Things change
Some things remain the same
Sometimes you got to know
When to act, not react
My needs, well they are so strong
I don't know where they're coming from
But I know what I know
I know where I'm going to
Because my life is my life
And that's the truth
So you see your life for what it's worth
Things change, rearranged
You can't go on being trampled on
Sometimes you got to know when to say stop
My life is my life
And I can do what I like
I don't care who tries to tell me I'm wrong
Because my life is my life
My truth is my truth
That's my life
My life is my life
My truth is my truth

Saying So Much Things
02:53
|
|||
|
Feel like dancing from within
So much so my heart starts to sing
Singing don't worry, but I do
Something's gone, it's lost without you
Many have come and gone in your name
Many have tried in vain, and then failed
Saying so much things
Satisfying my soul
Think I'll sing your songs of freedom
Think I'll sing of love and oneness
Saying so much things
Satisfying my soul
Feel like dancing from within
So much so my heart starts to sing
Singing don't worry, but I do
Something's gone, it's lost without you
Marley is gone
But his song's will live on
Bob Marley is gone
But his song's will live on
And on
Saying so much things
Satisfying my soul

Anybody Out There
03:26
|
|||
|
Is there anybody out there?
Are you picking up the signal?
If we look a little further
You could try to convince us
Is this what you always wanted?
Well this is what you got
This is all we've got to give you
Take it, like it or not
Is there anybody listening?
Have you noticed that we're here?
We're not just part of the fixtures
Does anybody care?
Is this what you always wanted?
Well this is what you got
This is all we've got to give you
Take it, like it or not
