1. WE COME ALIVE

Well it's early evening and i'm at your door
Thinking of things to say
It's benn a long hard week since i saw you now
And baby you're always worth the wait
I feel kind of restless, nervous i guess
But so lucky to be alive
And we take the city by the hand
It's our time tonight

We come alive
We come alive with the night

You've got your black jeans on
And your wom out shirt
Like the casual girl i know
I'm gonna take youy dowstosn to this place i know
Where they play our kind of rock'n'roll
And for a moment i feel when i look in your eyes
That i've found what i'm searchin' for
Heaven's night in front of me
And i'm steppin' though the door

We come alive
We come alive with the night

When we walk on in the music's loud
And the lights are way down low
The air fills up with ecstasy
As we dance the whole night through
I love the way we touch and express ourselves
Such a natural way to be
Now i knox why the night belongs
To fools like you and me

Like thieves we steal each other's time
We have to go back home
I've got my arms around you
So glad i found you
And it's somethin' i've done on my own
And baby in just a little while
We could go out separate ways
But we bith know we's fool ourselves
This night ain't over yet

We come alive
We come alive with the night


2. UNDER THE INFLUENCE

Maybe youve taken on a different name
Tired of playing everybody else´s game
Maybe you´re living in a jealous town
Oh so tired of rumours going round
What we do, under the influence of love

Maybe you´ll try out a new set of clothes
Begin to like the things that you hated the most
There ain´t no rule, there ain´t no circumstance,
To save you baby now, when you´re in a trance
What we do, under the influence of love

Hush now baby, don´t cry
To make it right, we have to see both sides
And the day is never done...
Think about it

Maybe you learn how to communicate
With that someone who just can´t wait
Maybe you´ll see the world with different eyes
Maybe you´ll even make a sactifice
What we do, under the influence of love

Some they can´t live within
Some they can´t live without
When love finally arrives
Some they keep shutting it out and
Maybe this one´s for you
Baby, don´t be afraid
There ain´t nothing you can do when it takes you away

Maybe you´ll give up everything you´ve got
To prove you´re right, when they say you´re not
Maybe you´ll change just about everything around you
Become a slave to the spell that bound you
What we do, under the influence of love

Hush now baby, don´t cry
To make it right we have to see both sides
And the day is never done
Think about it - for the fortunate ones

Maybe you´ll give up everything you´ve got
To prove you´re right, when they say you´re not
Maybe you´ll change everything around you
Under the influence of love


3. A PLACE TO CALL HOME

I was out the front door like nothing was lost
Wanted my freedom no matter what the cost
It made no difference what anyone said
I didn't follow my heart I followed my head

Well a man is an island but the water is deep
And the shore on the other side is ragged and steep
Well I built my castle for just one man
Without the love of a woman it's made out of sand

The tower of strength with no one around
To pick me up when it all came down
Well I should have known
We all need a place to call home o
H yeah, uh huh

Well you travel the highways and you travel the world
When there ain't much left you haven't seen or heard
To look for perfection is a lonely old ride
It takes a whole lot of courage and a whole lot of pride

And then one day when you really care
She touches your soul but you're far too scared
Well I should have known
We all need a place to call home
Oh yeah, uh huh, oh yeah

I'm trying everyday to find out more about myself
Learning how to love now I need it from somebody else

Yeah, yeah Come poets and writers come spare me some time
Come tell me the reason come tell me the rhyme
When you look for independence and you get what you want
How come you look back thinking "what have I done?"

But time and again it dawns on me
It's the price we pay for liberty
Well I should have known
We all need a place to call home oh yeah, home
God I miss you tonight
We all need a place to call home oh yeah


4.PLEASURE AND PAIN

I hate it when you wonder, so sensual and free.
And I hate it when you're psychic,
With the things I cannot see.
I hate it when you lead on, Like you know which way to go.
And I hate it when you stumble,
And you never touch the floor.

A pathological liar, I am fallin' again.
With a flood of desire, I walk the line
Between pleasure and pain.

I hate it when you're lyin',
So close to me at night.
And I hate it when you whisper,
Sweet words into my mouth.
Yeah the woman be the reason,
A woman be the light.
A woman be the color, If faith would be my sight.

I'm a man of contradiction, With a heart so restrained.
So afraid of commitment, I walk the line
Between pleasure and pain.

It may take one lifetime,
Or it may take one day.
For me to find the courage
Not to walk away.
If this is all that matters If this is all we know.
If enlightment is our journey
It will never, ever let us go...
(Never let us go)

I hate it when you want me, Passion in your eyes.
I struggle and I reason "This couldn't possibly be right."
And I fight you with honor And I fight you with fear.
So afraid of what I would find out
If I were to let your heart come near.

I believe in redemption For a fool's domain.
And I ask for forgiveness I walk the line
Between pleasure and pain
Between pleasure and pain
I walk the line...
Between pleasure and pain...


5. ELSEWHERE

There's a place that I'd like to reach
I have tried, and tried, and tried, and tried
To the secret places that you keep
I am repeatedley denied
Oh, won't you let me in
I'm on your side

Do you still love me
Do you honestley care
Cause I am still with you
But you are elsewhere
Yes you are elsewhere

There's a voice that I'd like to hear
Words of a poet that I used to know
Now your eyes they keep starin into nowhere
If I knew what was hurting you so
Oh won't you take me there
Dark places you hide

Do you still love me
Do you honestley care
Cause I am still with you but you are elsewhere
Yes you are elsewhere

Oh won't you let me in
I'm on your side

Do you still love me
Do you honestley care
Cause I am still with you
But you are elsewhere
Do you still love me (do you still love me)
Do you honestley care
Cause I am still with you (I am still with you)
But you are elsewhere
Yes you are elsewhere
You are elsewhere


6. LORD OF THE MANOR

Lord of the manor
Come she'd me some light
Lately my lige has been a
Struggle and a fight
I hope I´m not asking
Too much of you tonight
So lord of the manor, come she'd me some light

Been through some hard times
My woman and I
We´ve been working so hard
Just trying to get by
But I´m not complaining
Just wondering why
So lord of the manor, come she'd me some light

Lord of the manor
Come light up my way
Lately the devil has been
Trying to lead me astray
Come show me your glory
Show me what´s right
So lord of the manor, come she'd me some light

It ain´t for the money,
The fortune or the fame
All I need is some guidance
To get back on my feet again
Don´t think I can wait

'Til the day that I die
So lord of the manor, come she'd me some light

Late last night I had the strangest dream
Swore for a moment I could see
Something so frightening, yet so beautiful
An angle of mercy, sent down to sescue me

So lord of the manor
Come she'd me some light
¥Couse lately my life has been a struggle,
Such a struggle and a fight
I hope I´m not asking
Too much of you tonight
So lord of the manor, come she'd me some light


7. DON'T GO CHANGING ON ME

If you really want to love me
Then love who I am
But I you only want to change me, now baby
I´m not your man
I might not be an angel
Hey, we are what we are

Set love free, not how you want it to be
Don´t go changin´ on me

I was looking for a lover
When I found something true
I figured one day or another I´d get lucky
Meet someone like you
Now I don´t wanna lose you
¥Cause we think diferently

Set love free, not how you want it to be
Don´t go changin´ on me

I know I might not be a hero
And say things you want me to
If you look for semoone perfect
I´m afraid I just won´t do
But if we´re meant to share this future
Come happiness or pain
If we´re meant to help each other
Thank got we´re not the same

So if you really want to love me
Then love who I am
But if you only want to change me, now baby
I´m not your man
I might not be an angel
Hey, we are what we are

Set love free, not how you want it to be
Don´t go changin´ on me

Set love free, not how you want it to be
Don´t go changin´ on me


8. HARDER TO LEAVE A FRIEND THAN A LOVER

I come to you
As an act of faith
Please convince me that I´m wrong
When I say we don´t belong
And it´s not too late

I sense the call
From your soul to mine
Is it meant to hurt this way
Every hour, every day
It steals our time

And it all comes clear
As if the moment draws near

That it´s harder to leave a friend than a lover
All the dreams that you have built
Leaves you with a sense of guilt
In the eyes of the other

So hear we stand
A stubborn woman, a stubborn man
Is it worth to carry on
Is it time we moved along
Have we done all we can?

And the damage done
Oh, can we overcome

Couse it´s harder to leave a friend than a lover
You might love the way you touch
But it will never mean as much
As when you care for each other

Is it all we can say?
We never wanted it this way

Cause it´s harder to leave a friend than a lover
The wounds will run so deep
And the friendship that you keep
Will never recover

Yeah, it´s harder to leave a friend than a lover
When you know someone so well
You would rather walk through hell
Before you hurt one another


9. RIGHT TO RESPECT

No one owns the waters
No one owns the earth
No one owns the mountains
The flowers and the dirt
No one owns a race
Colours can not hurt

But we own the right to respect
One and all

No one owns the words
Spoken by someone
Who´s fightingfor his right
Just to be treated like someone
No one owns the hope
That burns in everyone

But we own the right to respect
One and all

And when we say we´ve had enough
We´ve really had enough
And when we say we don´t want no more
We really don´t want no more

No one owns a woman
No one owns a man
No one owns a country
The people and their land
No one owns a lofe
Yet I see blood upon your hands

But we own the right to respect
One and all


10. ALWAYS A FRIEND OF MINE

I see a boy down on the corner he has nothing to his name
I see the dreams that we can follow
And die for just the same
And I see someone
I believe in through hard and troubled times
If I ever loose my way yeah you're always a friend of mine

Then you step out in the big world
Take the chances that you can
I see the sweat I see the tears yes, brotherhood of man
And I see someone
I believe in through hard and troubled times
If I ever loose my way yeah you're always a friend of mine

Then you learned about your people
(Then you learned about your people)
Some are weak and some are strong
Some might stand up for you do anything for you
Others might do you wrong

And I have someone
I believe in through hard and troubled times
If I ever loose my way yeah
You're always a friend of mine
Yes you are

How I used to long for happiness whatever it would take
How I'd die for that old true love make no mistake
How I used to think all
That glittered was gold and all of that was mine
Now all I have is this moment hoping
It's never gonna pass me by
Pass me by

Now did you find as you went searching all
That you were looking for
And has time began to heal you well I got
I got more than I bargained for
And I see someone I believe in through hard
And troubled times
If I ever loose my way yeah your always
A friend of mine
Oh yes you are
If I ever loose my way your always
A friend of mine
Friend of mine


11. HOW COME YOU'RE NOT DEAD YET?

I throught I´d sit right down
And write this song for you
I think you never understood my point of view
You came into my life, a smell of summer wine
Poisoned up my blood and left me behind

Mysterious, you were so unpredictable
Charming ways were always so believable
Circumstances made it all come shining through
To tell the truth was not what you intended to

You could not live without me you said
So baby, how come you're not dead yet?

Everything you said to me about being true
Now I realize that words don´t mean that much to you
I can´t believe you wasted all this time on me
Showered me with promises and poetry

You could not live without me you said
So baby, how come you´re not dead yet?

People come and people go
We hurt each other
This I know
But it´s not that simple
When the hour is late
Baby don´t go

I see you walking by but I don´t feel a thing
Funny how I thought that we were everyghing
Someone else will now be falling for that smile
I´m proud to say that I´m no longer worth your while

You could not live without me you said
You could not live without me you said
But baby, how come you´re not dead yet?
How Come You're Not Dead Yet?


12. FOR MY COUNTRY

Like a vision
That I keep inside
A memory locked away
No borderlines
No enemies
No religion to betray

I have felt the change
And it hurts me too
That no distance can deny

This is for my country
Still battered and still bruised
I´ve come to offer all I can
I will fight for you
I will fight for you

You climb a hill
Yet you fall down a mountain
When the truth is hard to face
And envy you
So proud and strong
Still your people you embrace

And I am part of that
What you´ve given me
I have come to give it back

This is for my country
The spirit of my song
I´ve seen you suffler long enough
And it´s where I belong

It´s where I belong
I will keep my word
I will retrify
With all that I am worth

This is for my country
Forever I am bound
With every bit of strength I hold
I´d never let you down
I´d never let you down

It´s where I belong
