WALKING ON THE WATER The way I walk you going to think I’m something special When you see me walking away from a room with a view Cos you’re the only one who can talk me into a reason When you’re in my heart you can’t resist the things I do Can’t resist the things I do Can’t resist the things I do Walking on the water Walking on the water Walking on the water to you Walking on the water Walking on the water Walking on the water to you Closer and closer and closer again Closer and closer to me I turn my head and I see your blood is rising I can’t be as numb as the others say I that I do Now is the time we get to realising When you’re in my heart you can’t resist the things I do Can’t resist the things I do Can’t resist the things I do Walking on the water Walking on the water Walking on the water to you Walking on the water Walking on the water Walking on the water to you Closer and closer and closer again Closer and closer to me The way I walk you going to think I’m something special When you see me walking away from a room with a view Cos you’re the only one who can talk me into a reason When you’re in my heart you can’t resist the things I do Can’t resist the things I do Can’t resist the things I do Walking on the water Walking on the water Walking on the water to you Walking on the water Walking on the water Walking on the water to you Closer and closer and closer again Closer and closer to me Closer and closer again and again and again and again

Next Plane 02:33
lyrics

NEXT PLANE What are you going to do when you find you need me too How you going to face the waiting case in the hall Are you going to smile when you shut the door Are you going to cry when you won’t see me no more When you will see me no more When you see the miles passing by your window seat When you feel the pain coming in your head Will you be afraid of the lonely days Make you feel aware that I’m so far away the time so far away That I’m so far away the time so far away When you call I’m on the next plane When you call I’m on the next plane When you call I’m on the next plane When you call I’m on the next plane Guitar Solo Maybe you can bear the pain that I have to Maybe you can stand the sorrow that rips your heart Baby I’m a travelling I’m coming for you Yeah I’m coming home when the next plane is due When the next plane is due When you call I’m on the next plane When you call I’m on the next plane When you call I’m on the next plane When you call I’m on the next plane When you call I’m on the next plane When you call I’m on the next plane When you call I’m on the next plane When you call I’m on the next plane

Learning 02:30
lyrics

LEARNING Don’t you know the game all the days are the same it’s a terrible shame I don’t know where they’ve gone to Walking on a line never taking the time to be another man I don’t know if I want to I’m learning all the time to put the faces in line I’m going to the top I’m ready to receive it Walking in the crowds with my head in the clouds I’m shouting it’s so loud I’m starting to believe it Swallowing the same pride Feel a little tongue tied Such a heavy price to pay Laughing at your old man looking at his suntan Thought they’d never find a way I’m just waiting for the lies that won’t go away Educating truth for a Day Waiting for the lies that won’t go away Educating truth for a day I’m learning Guitar Solo I’m just waiting for the lies that won’t go away Educating truth for a Day Waiting for the lies that won’t go away Educating truth for a day I’m learning

Living too fast Ignition and you’re going and you’re flowing out at 85 Motorhead is steaming and you getting there before your arrive Well speeding's what I’m needing and it’s going right to my head I’m dreaming of a highway where the lights don’t ever turn red When you’re living too fast when you’re living too fast You know you’ve always got to drive too hard When you’re living too fast when you’re living too fast You know you’ve got to always drive too hard Cracking open heads on the way to the one after 69 Feeling all the way mine is yours and yours and mine I've never seen a kid who couldn’t get off on my heat Don’t sit up in your office get your ass out on the street When you’re living too fast when you’re living too fast You know you’ve always got to drive too hard When you’re living too fast when you’re living too fast You know you’ve got to always drive too hard Gtr solo Cos when you’re living too fast when you’re living too fast You know you’ve always got to drive too hard When you’re living too fast when you’re living too fast You know you’ve got to always drive too hard Kicking dust away on the soul of the man behind Get your mind a flashing and the concrete starts to wind You know a 747 doesn’t really have a thing on me When I’m thundering away on a hazy tarmac sea Cos' when you’re living too fast when you’re living too fast You know you’ve always got to drive too hard When you’re living too fast when you’re living too fast You know you’ve got to always drive too hard Ignition and you’re going and you’re flowing out at 85 Motorhead is steaming and you getting there before your arrive Speeding's what I’m needing and it’s going right to my head I’m dreaming of a highway where the lights don’t ever turn red When you’re living too fast when you’re living too fast You know you’ve always got to drive too hard When you’re living too fast when you’re living too fast You know you’ve got to always drive too hard Ya!

Easy Street 03:38

EASY STREET Well it’s never really funny when your water isn’t runny unless it’s running down your wall. And newspaper carpets and cellophane windows and the rats parking in your hall And nobody wants to stay for a coffee and the plaster falls into your cowboy boots Don’t want to wake up in the morning when you’re living on easy Street Don’t want to wake up in the morning when you’re living on easy Street Cos living on easy Street ain’t so funny living on easy Street means no money Living on easy Street means you’ve got nothing at all Cos living on easy Street ain’t so funny living on easy Street means no money Living on easy Street means you’ve got nothing at all Well my life was really sunny when I met up with my honey and the room where I was living was bright And then she went and scattered and my world was really shattered and I can’t tell day from night And now my room is slowly slipping and I just can’t seem to get back on my feet Don’t want to wake up in the morning when you’re living on easy Street Don’t want to wake up in the morning when you’re living on easy Street Cos living on easy Street ain’t so funny living on easy Street means no money Living on easy Street means you’ve got nothing at all Cos living on easy Street ain’t so funny living on easy Street means no money Living on easy Street means you’ve got nothing at all Guitar Solo Cos living on easy Street ain’t so funny living on easy Street means no money Living on easy Street means you’ve got nothing at all Cos living on easy Street ain’t so funny living on easy Street means no money Living on easy Street means you’ve got nothing at all Living on easy Street Living on easy Street Living on easy Street means you’ve got nothing at all

Eyes Open shops for selling you emotion Mind closed legs not never any ties Pictures that you see up there beneath you Begging you to open up your eyes Senses sharp as cold summer water Drip on me awakening the lies Senses sharp as cold summer water Seeing is not opening your eyes Pale as death is colouring my only Link with life so often as it sighs Tints you see is never as it was Before I see I cover up my eyes Senses sharp as cold summer water Drip on me awakening the lies Senses sharp as cold summer water Seeing is not opening your eyes Guitar solo  Open shops for selling you emotion Mind closed legs not never any ties Pictures that you see up there beneath you Begging you to open up your eyes Senses sharp as cold summer water Drip on me awakening the lies Senses sharp as cold summer water Seeing is not opening your eyes
