THE SIN OF PRIDE The Lyrics

GOT TO HAVE YOU BACK


Got to have you back I need you
A jealous lie hurt my foolish pride
Made me break your heart
Now our love has died

I see a closing door
A door never more
A door of jealousy between your love and me
Now I face a storm of tears
You took the sunshine from my face
Now I`m just another man
Who walks the undestined way
Without your guiding hand
I can hardly tell when I`m the man
Pride made a fool of me
Now I`m drowning in misery
Misery is drowning me

And I`ve got to have you back I need you
Between the night and day oh heaven speed you
Cos I need you girl
I`ve been told
It`s a loneliness
Oh dark is the emptiness
Since you`ve been gone in me
Oh gone is the lover I need
Pride destroyed the love we knew
But not my need for you
Without your love around
My whole world is falling down
Falling down
All around
And I`ve got to have you back

Got to have you back
Got to have you back
Got to have you back
Got to have you back

I see a closing door
A door never more
A door of jealousy between your love and me
Now I face a storm of tears
You took the sunshine from my face
Now I`m just another man
Who walks the undestined way
Without your guiding hand
I can hardly tell when I`m the man
Pride made a fool of me
Now I`m drowning in misery
Misery is drowning me

Got to have you back
I`m drowning in misery
Got to have you back
My pride made a fool of me
Got to have you back
My whole world is falling down
Got to have you back
Without your sweet love around

Got to have you back
Got to have you back
Got to have you back
Got to have you back


VALENTINE`S TREATMENT


If hate`s a pleasure
Then the well meaning isn`t meant
Valentine`s treatment can make is all seem heaven sent

Tempting
Tempting
To keep it all a secret
Tempting
Tempting
But you know love`s the treatment
I only wish it was mine

If he`s playing cowboys or she`s acting old
Valentine`s treatment can break pathetic moulds

Take that boy who hates himself and can`t wait to be sold
Valentine`s treatment can cure that twisted soul

And love`s a good word
Til spread around like so much lies
It takes that treatment to rediscover the surprise


LUXURY


If I was having such a good time
It wasn`t really that much fun
A counterfeit conspiracy
That`s suddenly gone wrong

So come on
Come on
You`re a luxury
A peculiar luxury
It always breaks my heart
You can keep your mystery
It doesn`t mean a thing to me

Painted lips and l`oreal
Are broadcast in the dark
A necessary cover up
That`s finally left it`s mark

So come on
Come on
You`re a luxury
A peculiar luxury
It always breaks my heart
You can keep your mystery
It doesn`t mean a thing to me

Your sneaky little schemes that show
The wolf`s still at your door
A vicious little paragon
Of what you were before

So come on
Come on
You`re a luxury
A peculiar luxury
It always breaks my heart
You can keep your mystery
It doesn`t mean a thing to me


LOVE BEFORE ROMANCE


She sends me underground
When it shard to take the strain
She sends me underground
When it feels like it`s going to rain

Where`s the love
Where`s the love
Where`s the love

I`m wholly high in the darkest night
When suddenly I have to stop
She sends me underground
With the habit`s that she makes me drop
Love before romance


UNTOUCHABLE


I can`t deny these foolish hands of mine
Have towed me in the dark
A collision course that has hit the rocks
Has now pierced my heart
I`m stricken down by deceptive moves
What`s meant is meant to be
Who`d try console a losing side
When that losing side is me

So now I`ll go step out of line
The untouchable is a touch too fine
A crazy lust that strips me bare
A tarnished whim that just will not wear

I`ve witnessed sin that made me swallow deep
And haunt me till I`m dead
A silent voice that only speaks the truth
Is gagged and bound instead


BYE BYE BABY BLUE


She looks a part of yesterdays modern girl
Another lover caught above her social world
A simple women she`s not
Sophisticated she`s got
She doesn`t want to be too ordinary

Hello lady driver
Bye bye baby blue
Put love under pressure
See what it can do

She didn`t care as the years kept crashing closer
To a serious situation getting worse
If life had been unkind
Her beauty beaten blind
She didn`t want to hurt anybody

Hello lady driver
Bye bye baby blue
Put love under pressure
See what it can do

And if I dream I have to dream of something
That`s doesn`t mean I have to dream of you
The stains on my bed
Like the blemishes you left
Are all that reminds me of you

Hello lady driver
Bye bye baby blue
Put love under pressure
See what it can do


CONSCIOUS


It makes me wonder
How to read your understanding
It makes me wonder
What`s in your mind
It makes me wonder
How the flash of love keeps blinding
It makes me wonder
Time after time

Meet distant love
Meet distant love and see what`s in store
Watch it evolve
A conscious way to what`s now no more

But what is love
But what is love
A cut above
It`s what gets you noticed

It makes me wonder
How to read your understanding
It makes me wonder
What`s in your mind
It makes me wonder
How the flash of love keeps blinding
It makes me wonder
Time after time

I`ve seen the switch
I`ve seen the hungry looks you`ve let slip
You`ve fooled us all
A stupid victim under your grip

But what is love
But what is love
A cut above
It`s what gets you noticed

It makes me wonder
How to read your understanding
It makes me wonder
What`s in your mind
It makes me wonder
How the flash of love keeps blinding
It makes me wonder
Time after time


CHAIN OF LOVE


Every night when the light has gone
I can see you carry on
Knights in armour won`t rescue you
In the shadows
The naked truth

Chain of love
Don`t put me away
Chain of love
Don`t put me away

Any time you took my name
i had to change it back again
Caught in crossfire never worried me
I`m caught in chains deliberately

Chain of love
Don`t put me away
Chain of love
Don`t put me away

Take me away from this notion
I`m nervous enough
Take me away from this girl
Who`s a genius for love

She`s a genius

Lonely nights like the night before
See I`ve made you ask for more
Tropical fever when the heat is on
A pocket Venus the lonely one

Chain of love
Don`t put me away
Chain of love
Don`t put me away


SOUL SEVEN


In a library of fools
Where spectators hang their sense
It`s alright
It`s alright
Yeah

In abeyance with the rules
The only sound is from the books they read
And it`s alright
It`s alright
Yeah

A tide of emotion that`s supposed to show
If you surrender to me

At the tiny corporation
That`s made of blood
Sweat and tears
It`s alright
It`s alright
Yeah

They cover every complication
That happens every year
And it`s alright
It`s alright
Yeah

A tide of emotion that`s supposed to show
If you surrender to me


THE LOVE PARADE


My heart`s lost since you`ve been gone
But you`re not the guilty one
I`ll go back and pick another girl again
Close my eyes cos I know that they`re all the same

At the love parade
At the love parade
At the love parade
At the love parade

We were lovers from the start
What`s the point of it
What`s the point of our love
But since then we`ve grown apart
What`s the point of it
What`s the point of our love
Nothing now can make us lovers and we know
What`s the point of it
What`s the point of our love
So the two of us are going to see just what`s on show
What`s the point of it
What`s the point of it

At the love parade
At the love parade
At the love parade
At the love parade

It takes it`s time passing by
And gives a chance for the loving eye
So see a face and let the body try
To get them moving side by side

We were lovers from the start
What`s the point of it
What`s the point of our love
But since then we`ve grown apart
What`s the point of it 
What`s the point of our love
Nothing now can make us lovers and we know
What`s the point of it 
What`s the point of our love
So the two of us are going to see just what`s on show
What`s the point of it
What`s the point of it


SAVE ME


Now I have cried a river since the day you said goodbye
And if you don`t come back I`m going to drown in the tears I cry

Save me save me
Save me save me
Come on and save me
I need you so

Like falling off a mountain slope I`m sinking down so fast
Clinging to a twig of hope that this separation won`t last

Save me save me
Oh why don`t you save me
It`s up to you to save me
I need you so

Without you here beside me I`m only half alive
Stay away from me any longer and I can`t survive

Save me save me
Oh why don`t you save me
It`s up to you to save me
I need you so


THE SIN OF PRIDE


The sin of pride keeps me from walking away
Don`t walk away
To join the lines of gods who think of nothing to say
Think what to say

The talk of war won`t scare my intentions away
Don`t walk away
But talk of love and kiss these ribbons today
Think what to say

The cost of love might make these presents seem small
Don`t walk away
But with the thoughts inside that wouldn`t matter at all
Think what to say

And I`ve lost all my friends to be yours
But pride`ll still meet me I`m sure
And stop me from feeling so hurt

Pride`ll still meet
Wanting my love
Come closer love
To want me
Come closer love
Keeping that love
Come closer love
Just for me
Come closer love

I`ve lost all my friends to be yours
But pride`ll still meet me I`m sure
And stop me from feeling so hurt

The sin of pride keeps me from walking away
Don`t walk away
But keeps inside the things I wanted to say
Think what to say

A look of love leads me from hate to despair
Don`t walk away
I look at love it says I shouldn`t be there
Think what to say

So she goes again


BITTERSWEET


I used to cry
I used to cry alone
Watch my face as I grew older
Reflect the world I`ve known

The kind of love that I would need
Tasted too bittersweet to me

I used to wonder
What it was I did wrong
No amount of conversation
Could keep me holding on

The kind of love that I would need
Tasted too bittersweet to me

Every little tear
That ever used to fall
Broke most of my resistance
That`s the cruelest twist of all

The kind of love that I would need
Tasted too bittersweet to me

Don`t look back
I don`t stop to hang around
Don`t except the disappointment
Relationships I have found

The kind of love that I would need
Tasted too bittersweet to me


YOU STAND SO CLOSE (BUT YOU`RE NEVER THERE)


If it`s a fact some thing won`t ever change
Will your super V`s remain the same

I don`t care if you won`t care
You stand so close
But you`re never there

You break my heart but you confess you do
So who can I send the pieces to

I don`t care if you won`t care
You stand so close
But you`re never there

You deliberately made a fool of me
You gave no excuse so what`s the use of you
I know you won`t wait cos it`s always too late
I know you won`t wait for me to return
It takes more or less that`s made of us

With piety must we pretend
What could be has gone again

I don`t care if you won`t care
You stand so close
But you`re never there

If I`ve been good you never tell me so
With love like that I`ll never know

I don`t care if you won`t care
You stand so close
But you`re never there


TURNING BLUE


Heavenly eyes
That smiled on me
A tender kiss that had to be
Always always
The same the same
Look whose falling in love again
The night isn`t angry with me

Our beating hearts
Two distant stars
A lovely way to say we are
No need no need
Too far too far
A lesson in love just isn`t t love enough
The night isn`t angry with me

And it suddenly sounds
Like it always comes
As Monday creeps up on you
A perfect day for someone turning blue

Heavenly eyes
That smiled on me
The sweetest thing that`s ever been

Always always
The same the same
Look whose falling in love


LIKE THAT


It`s the end of the rainbow
It`s the end of us all
It`s the end of our feeling
Our reason to fall
None at all

Open your eyes love
Reveal a disguise
You words have no meaning
All rise
All them lies

And I try to hide
Yes I try to hide

Under the sunlight
Away from the wall
Left with his hands tied
The curse of it all

Walking with me now
Hang on to them all
It`s the end of our feeling
No reason to crawl - none at all

Said he didn`t like it
But he liked it like that
Said he didn`t like it
But he liked it like that
Said he didn`t like it
But he liked it like that
Said he didn`t like it
But he liked it like that


I CAN ONLY DREAM


If you really saw the only girl I know
I have to dream a love affair
Like the vacantness that always hurts my flesh
I have to dream a love affair

Dream
I can only dream
Dream alone
You`re not there

I`m doing time for an emotional crime
I have to dream a love affair
She`s the sweetest girl in a changing world
I have to dream a love affair

Dream
I can only dream
Dream alone
You`re not there

With the body of eve and the clothes you wear
I have to dream a love affair

Dream
I can only dream
Dream alone
You`re not there


WINDOW SHOPPING FOR NEW CLOTHES


Intuition tells me
About the kind of clothes I should wear
But intuition won`t help me
To become a self made millionaire

There`s always someone on the phone
Getting stupid undone
Wants to know what can`t be go
I don`t care

Never say your sorry
Let science turn your head
Cos when you start to worry
Then you`re better off being dead

Intuition tells me
Of the ways I can cut my hair
But intuition can`t help me
Because it`s seldom there
