This boy 03:38
This Boy wants you to know Life is scale and arpeggio It’s all the same wherever you go And the world spins around and around This boy wants you to know That love is the place where all rivers flow It’s hard as nails and softer than snow And the world spins around and around I’d ask you to dance if I dared to I might even ask for a kiss I’d ask you to walk if you cared to Beneath the moon on a night like With me on a night like this This boy finds it hard to be kind When the world is so cruel and people so blind We’re searching for something That’s so hard to find And the world spins around and around This boy wants you to know He will follow wherever you go The highest high or way down When the world spins around and around

Green eyes 01:50
Speak to me only with your eyes I can’t bear to hear a single sound The world could come to an end right now And I wouldn’t realise If you speak to me only with your eyes So tell me that you love me without speaking Let me see your pretty green eyes shine I’ll spend my life believing that everything is fine If you let me see your pretty green eyes shine And don’t let anyone trick you into leaving Your place on earth is right here by my side No matter what they say, don’t you let it slip away ‘Cause I’m gonna love you till my dying day So tell me that you love me without speaking Whisper to me only with your eyes I’d gladly watch the sun come falling straight out of the skies If you tell me that you love me with your eyes

Those Hollington girls Love you once then slip away Biding time between their accidents To help you dream another day Those Hollington girls Young as children in the street Red, red lips and auburn curls High-heeled shoes upon their feet Take me back down to Hollington Before the sun it clears the sky You know that I believe in angels When I watch those Hollington girls go by Those Hollington girls Hunt in bars late at night Eyes peeled back like predators Waiting for a chance to bite Those Hollington girls Dance in circles beneath the lights Hearts as warm as summer beaches Legs as long as summer nights Those Hollington girls Pushing prams along the way Broken hearts and broken promises Dreaming of a better day

Hey Mr Walker you know that it’s true I love your daughter And she says she loves me too We’re gonna pack up and flee To sunny Italy just her and me I think that the weather’s Good down there this time of year At least that’s what I hear You wouldn’t know it by me ‘Cause every day’s sunny As long as she’s near Hey Mr Walker I hear that you’re missing New Zealand It’s a long, long way away from here It’s a twenty-four hour flight With two stops over night for a bottle of beer Hey Mr Walker Isn’t life hard sometimes? Two daughters and a wife But still those troubles in life Never disappear

We met one day in summer On the beach you held my hand We took a taxi to the ridge Our pockets full of pebbles and sand You held me and we kissed again And the rain came pouring down And we watched the lights come on in Hastings town We walked to your place together You stopped me at the door You said that love was not a place Where you had been before Then you opened up and let me in You said that I could stay And I stayed with you forever on Malvern Way Well the rich they’ve got their diamonds And their houses are bigger than ours They’ve got elegant suits and no holes in their boots And they smoke big expensive cigars But their lives are worth nothing Angel In their palaces let them remain ‘Cause I’d rather be with you my dear On Malvern Way again Well twenty years down the line Three children they had grown And forty years down the line Their kids too had grown And then of course there’s great-grand children And though the toil it made us moan It was a little piece of heaven we were shown For fifty-eight years you were my life When sad I thought of you Our love it doubled happiness And divided the bad in two And I’ll never forget those happy times On the beach they’d run and play And we’d walk home together to Malvern Way Well the rich they’ve got their diamonds And their houses are bigger than ours They’ve got elegant suits and no holes in their boots And they drive big expensive cars But their lives are worth nothing Angel Wealth is a ball and chain And I’d rather be with you my dear On Malvern Way again Well I suppose in life that all things One day must come to an end And I’m glad it’s you that went first My very dearest friend ‘Cause I wouldn’t wish this pain on you On our anniversary day To be walking alone on sunny Malvern Way So tonight I’m gonna go swimming Beneath the stars and beneath the moon And all my worries and troubles They will be over soon And I’ll swim until I find you And you’ll free me of my pain And we’ll walk together on Malvern Way again Well the rich they’ve got their diamonds And their houses are bigger than ours They’ve got elegant suits and no holes in their boots But they might as well be living on Mars ‘Cause their lives are worth nothing Angel In their palaces let them remain ‘Cause I’d rather be with you my dear On Malvern Way again

Rebecca 04:43
Rebecca, Rebecca Won’t you let down your hair I’m tired and tethered and lonely The night is but young Though my heart has begun To yearn for you and you only Outside the weather is cold And I know that you’re young and I’m old But Rebecca I will love you till I die Rebecca, Rebecca Youthful beauty so fair I long to see you sway to the music I’ll give you my heart Like I’ve given you my soul Though I know that you’ll only abuse it But this drink’s got the best of me now And I know you don’t care anyhow But Rebecca I will love you till I die Rebecca, Rebecca I’ve no money to spare I’m toothless, bedraggled and weary I’m penniless old, and crippled and cold But there’s no need for you to fear me I’ve travelled this world all my life All I want is a kiss not a wife And Rebbecca I will love you till I die Rebecca, the stars are on fire And I’m floating on wings of desire I’m far, far above the pier and the town I look like a beggar and I walk like a clown I’m half way to heaven don’t let me back down Rebecca, Rebecca won’t you let down your hair The bell’s gone and everyone’s leaving In a world full of darkness and death and despair You’ve a light for me to believe in So kiss me cheek once goodbye Or at least wipe this tear from my eye And Rebecca I will love you till I die

A 03:06
When the night is dark When I’m in your arms I feel safe and warm I feel free from harm You bring me back to my senses Take me away from myself When everything’s wrong You’re all that’s strong And I’ll never love anybody else When you’re worried honey When you’re hearts filled with fear When God’s joke isn’t funny Come on and lean on me dear And I’ll bring you back to your senses Take you away from yourself When everything’s wrong I’ll try and be strong And I’ll never love anyone else When I am with you When your hand is in mine Skies are always blue The weather is always fine You bring me back to my senses Take me away from myself When everything’s wrong You’re all that’s strong And I’ll never love anybody else
