Long Time Coming.
Hello Mid Afternoon:
It's 5 in the morning
My head's still spinning around
There's not much I remember
Except falling to the ground
I was wild, a little wicked
I was only having some fun
Only messing around....

It's noon, I've got the shivers
I'm feeling badder than bad
No-one's going to help me
Knowing all that I had
I was buzzing, I was lightning
I was only having some fun
Only messing around

Ooo, Hello mid-afternoon
Thank God you're here again
Now I know I haven't reached
The end

Ooo, Hello mid-afternoon
I don't know where I've been
But now you're here, I know
I'm Living

I remember this pretty woman
I tried to be more than a friend
If only I could turn back
The clock and make amends
I was wild, a little wicked
I was only having some fun
Only messing around....

Ooo, Hello mid-afternoon
Thank God you're here again
Now I know I haven't reached
The end

Ooo, Hello mid-afternoon
I don't know where I've been
But now you're here, I know
I'm Living

I can't feel
My bodys closing down
I can't see
Is there anyone around
Ooo, I was only having some fun
Only messing around....

Ooo, Hello mid-afternoon
Thank God you're here again
Now I know I haven't reached
The end

Ooo, Hello mid-afternoon
Take me far away
And bring me back another day

It's 5 in the morning
My heads still spinning around
I'm an Englishman:
She's a lady
She's an American Girl alright
She's an American Girl
She's got the whole wide world
To dream of her each night

She's so crazy
She's in the movies and on CD
She's in the movies you see
She acts so naturally
There's nothing she can't do

She shares her body
She shares her body and soul who cares
She shares her body and soul
With the whole wide world
What you see is what she is

I wish I knew you
But I'm an Englishman through and through
I'm an Englishman who
Could never be like you
I could never let my feelings show
No no no
I could never let my feelings show
No no no
I could never let my feelings show
No no no
I could never let my feelings show
No no no
I could never ever let myself go

She's a lady
She's an American Girl alright
She's an American Girl
She's got the whole wide world
To dream of her each night

She's so crazy
She's in the movies and on CD
She's in the movies you see
She acts so naturally
There's nothing she can't do

She shares her body
She shares her body and soul who cares
She shares her body and soul
With the whole wide world
What you see is what she is

I wish I knew you
But I'm an Englishman through and through
I'm an Englishman who
Could never be like you
I could never let my
Never let my feelings show

Ordinary Man:
I'm at the traffic lights of life
They're neither red nor green
I've reached a crossroads in my life
I'm somewhere in between
Sitting here in neutral
My hazard lights are on

Straight aheads a hundred miles
I'm turing off the road
An instant feeling of relief
I'm lightening my load
I'm switching off
I'm giving up
Abandoning the race

What have I done
What have I achieved
What will my headstone
Say about me
An ordinary man
Died peacefully
Ooo

An Ordinary Man

I'm at the traffic lights of life
They're neither red nor green
I reached a crossroads in my life
I'm somewhere in between
Sitting here in neutral
My hazard lights are on

What have I done
What have I achieved
What will my headstone
Say about me
An ordinary man
Died peacefully
Ooo

What have I done
What will it say
An ordinary man

An ordinary man
Picture Of You:
There's a picure on my wall
A picture of you
I can see you for a while
When I'm holding my picture
Of you

There's a letter in my hand
A letter from you
I can hear you for a while
When I'm reading my letter
From you

And I know I'm still thinking
About how I'm missing you
It's when I'm holding my picture
My picture of you
My picture of you

There's a message on my phone
A message from you
I can be with you again
When I hear that old message
When I'm reading my letter
When I'm holding my picture
Of you
Poor Boy:
Leave him alone now please
He don't wanna talk
She's broken up
With him again
Poor Boy

He's not a soldier
Or a man on the Green Mile
He's not a blind man
Fighting for survival

He lives in clover
Does what he likes when he wants
He's got a fast car
Likes cruising around town

Leave him alone now please
He's a little angry
He's been told
He's not a nice boy

Poor Boy

Never known Hunger
Or felt the cold in his bones
Never seen a dead man
Who'd been fighting for survival

Sitting in blue jeans
Playing on his PC
Blowing out smoke rings
Planning his itinerary

He's not a soldier
Or a man on the Green Mile
He's not a blind man
Fighting for survival

He lives in clover
Does what he likes when he wants
He's got a fast car
Likes cruising around town

Never known hunger
Or felt the cold in his bones
Never seen a dead man
Who'd been fighting for survival

Sitting in blue jeans
Playing on his PC
Blowing out smoke rings
Planning his itinerary
Silent Soldier:
He's there
At Colville-sur-Mer
Telling a tale to all
Who see

He's there
At Colville-sur-Mer
No words are said midst the
Timeless peace

But the Silent Soldier speaks

He lies
Unknown now to all
In perfect line for all
To see

He lives
Near where he died
And for those who seek
Him there

The Silent Soldier speaks

He's there
At Colville-sur-Mer
Telling a tale to those
Who hear

The Silent Soldier speaks
The Silent Soldier speaks
Long Time Ago:
Can you remember a long time ago
How far back does your memory go
Can you remember a long time ago
Do you remember how I loved you so

I sit and wonder
Sometimes where you are
Where did you then go
And now who you are
What do you look like
And where have you been
You were the prettiest girl
I'd ever seen

Ooo
I love you
Ooo

I've been thinking about
When we were young
Fooling around
Life was nothing but fun

I still remember you
Just as you were
The things we did
And the way we were

Where did you go
Who are you
Where have you been
Where are you now

Can you remember a long time ago
How far back does your memory go
Can you remember a long time ago
Do you remember how I loved you so

Ooo
I love you
Ooo

Ooo
I still do
Ooo
If:
If it was a different place
In a different time
If we'd met then just as now
With no-one else around

We could
We could have been together
Forever and a day

There is no-one in the world
With whom I'd rather be
And if I knew that
You and me
Might one day come to be

I would
I would wait forever
Forever and a day

I would
I would wait forever
Forever and a day

I would wait forever
Forever and a day
Old Fine Wine:
I've been in the dark
It's dusty and cold
My label looks old

So now hold me
Stand me up
Pull my cork
And drink me down

'Cos I'm like
A laid down
Red Brown
Old Fine Wine

Turn on the light
And see who I am
This old man

So now hold me
Stand me up
Pull my cork
And drink me down

'Cos I'm like
A laid down
Red Brown
Old Fine Wine

So now hold me
Stand me up
Pull my cork
And drink me down

'Cos I'm like
A laid down
Red Brown
Old Fine Wine
Amalfi Coast:
Heaven can wait
Lets take a break
Lets go and find
Some sunshine

You're living to work
Not working to live
We've got to give ourselves
Some fun time

Unwind
Leave your troubles behind
Rome wasn't built in a day

Lets chill as we roast
Along the Amalfi Coast

All things can wait
Nothing will break
No-one will break down crying
You're just going away
On our holiday
You've been working too hard
For some time

Unwind
Leave your troubles behind
Rome wasn't built in a day

Lets chill as we roast
Along the Amalfi Coast

You and me
Need some time
To be together
oh oh

Heaven can wait
Lets take a break
Life's not a dress rehearsal

Lets up and away
Get in the mood
You've been working too long
For some time

Unwind
Leave your troubles behind
Rome wasn't built in a day

Lets chill as we roast
Along the Amalfi
Lets chill as we toast
Along the Amalfi
Let's make the most
Along the Amalfi Coast
