Lyrics - Walk A Mile

Walk a Mile

Walk a mile in my shoes baby

Kick off your little red dancing boots

Eight miles high you’re hanging down from heaven

And I’m stuck here in a bar like a fool

Take a walk in my shoes baby

See the other side of the road

Walk a mile in my shoes baby

See the other side…

Ch

You’re crying 

your crocodile tears and so

We’re flying

In the face all of all we know

Its a long way

To the place we started from

And I don’t believe in fear

The revolution starts here

Walk a mile in my shoes baby

Give those angel wings some rest

Your ice white smile and your oceanic eyes

Have me …lost inside my head

Walk a mile (walk a mile baby) in my shoes baby

See the other side of the road

Take a walk (take a walk baby) in my shoes baby

See the other side of the road

Walk a mile (walk a mile baby) in my shoes baby

See the other side of the road

Take a walk (take a walk baby) in my shoes baby

See the other side of the road

Lyrics - No Fixed Destination

No fixed destination 

Silly girls they spend their lives running round after maverick steeds

Even the ones that say they’re tuff come a tumblin’ when they fell loves heat

I thought we had something worth saving but you kept me looking over my shoulder

I know I made the right decision when I said…’It’s over;

CH

I would’ve thought by now – you’d realise

would’ve thought by now – you’d let it go

would’ve thought by now – you would surely know

That the love we had between us was a deadly fascination

Your trouble shooting heart was on a course

With no fixed destination

Boys can be cold blooded, stubborn and so selfish with emotion

but a twinkle in her eye and the smell of her perfume’s a deadly potion

mmm You made me weak, you made me weak up in our apartment, so many times

Though I Lay at your feet adoring, you needed so much more excitement

CH

Life showed me a secret, it’s what you do and how much you enjoy yourself

Although the further hills seem greener while your looking you’re just sitting on a dusty shelf

Now the days are getting shorter and I told you once before I’m getting out of here

I’m not spending any more time giving you my shoulder for those tiny tears…..wo oh oh

CH

Lyrics - I've Got You

I’ve Got You

V1

I’ve got you,

Something to live for

Something to sing for

Something thats real

I’ve got you

Someone who knows me

Someone who shows me

What its all about

Ch

I always knew you were the only one

You’ve got me feeling like I’m 21

You let me know when I get out of line

I can’t stop thinking ‘bout you all the time, all the time

I’ve Got You

V2

When I’m with you

I get up in the morning

Go around with this feeling

I could do anything

When I’m with you

I get a little bit bolder

I don’t mind getting older

Cus I’m doing it with you

Ch

And when I’m with you walking down the street

I’d show you off but you’re just so discreet

You always wear the clothes that suit you well

I ask about the price, you never tell, never tell

I’ve Got You

Lyrics - Only You

ONLY YOU

You keep changing – I don’t ask why

You’re tangled up in knots I helped you tie

When you’re blue -the birds start falling from the sky

I get trapped inside the sound of their cries

(ooh)

Only you (Only You)

Only you could make me stay

With all your cruel and tender ways

Big trouble – banging on my door

Feels like we’ve been here since 1984

You think you’ve found someone but soon it turns to war

Busted promises but whose keeping score?

(ooh)

Only you (Only You)

Only you could make me stay

With all your cruel and tender ways

I thought you played a joker as a heart

You raised the stakes from the very start

Only you (Only You) x 4

Only you could make me stay (oooh)

Only you (Only You)

Only you could make me stay (oooh)

Only you (Only You)

With all your cruel and tender ways (ooh)

(Only You) Only you

 

Lyrics - Now You Are Gone

Now You Are Gone

I still listen for the sound at night

Of breaking bottles on the cliff

Or the hum of your farfisa

Banging out some Old Time tune

CH

On A Sunday Morning

That’s when I miss you mostly

Now you are gone

Where do I turn when things go wrong

When it’s hard to decide

When I’m swimming ‘gainst the tide

You were so strong

Who will I turn to now you are gone

V2

I still Listen for the phone to ring

To see you standing at the gate

Engines running ‘cus you’re late for work

You always loved to make them wait

CH

I remember all that you said – ‘bout life, love and money

And the time you came to my party

All my friends said you were funny, so funny

CH

Lyrics - Your Love Is Heaven

Your Love is Heaven

(Words and music by Paul Byrne and Brian Lynch, ©1995)

You’re the keeper of a flame we have found

Don’t you know your love is heaven

Now we’re sound

Bring me slowly to my knees from now on

Hold on tightly to our dreams when I’m gone

Don’t you know your love is heaven,

Don’t you know your love is heaven

We belong

And you know I’d do anything

Don’t you know I’d do anything

Just to keep our love the way it’s always been

Oh you pour sweet soul onto the fires down below

its the spirit of one love, and you who makes it grow

Don’t you know your love is heaven,

Don’t you know your love is heaven

Your love is heaven

Don’t you know?

Lyrics - How To Come Back To You

How To Come Back To You

Just like a flower blowing in the wind

Her spell took me over, I became blind

I played a game of brilliant lies

Or so I thought till you looked in my eyes

What I know now I did not know then

I kept you waiting to get hurt again

Oh no

I was so cruel, a fortunate fool

Cus you showed me how

To come back to you

What’s that you said so long ago

When somebody hurts you, you just let them go

The lessons we give we don’t always heed

Thank God you weren’t listening to your own creed

What I know now I did not know then

I kept you waiting to get hurt again

Oh no

I was so cruel, a fortunate fool

Cus you showed me how

To come back to you

Now we can grow, now we are strong

Got some great kids and a place to belong

All of the time we’ve spent together

Only a grain in the sands of forever

What I know now I did not know then

I kept you waiting to get hurt again

Oh no

I was so cruel, a fortunate fool

Cus you showed me how

To come back to you

You showed me how

To come back to you

Coda:

My world comes alive when you’re by my side.

 

Lyrics - You're The Keeper Of My Heart

You’re the Keeper Of My heart

You say you want to be on your own

And live our lives together

You tell me its all over now

Now that its getting better

You whisper words say our love is real

Then Tell me it’s a lie

You’re Giving up everything we’ve got

Now that we seem alright

You’re the Keeper Of My heart

Every time we fall apart

You leave your hooks beneath my skin

You’re the reason I survive

The one desire I just cant hide

You’re the Keeper Of My heart

You say you want to let me in

As you close your door

You want some love and understanding

Like we had before

You say I really try to bring you down

When we’re getting higher

You write me letters all of the time

While setting them on fire

You’re the Keeper Of My heart

Every time we fall apart

You leave your hooks beneath my skin

You’re the reason I survive

The one desire I just cant hide

You’re the Keeper Of My heart

Ch

Lyrics - Give Me Something

Give me Something

1.

Give me something to hold on to

So I can get a hold on you

Give me something that’s warm and true

So I can get inside of you

I need to touch you baby

I gotta get through to you

I need to touch you baby

What else can I do

2.

Tell me now whats going on

Lately you’ve been so far gone

So far gone its in your eyes

Weve been barely holding on

I need to touch you baby

Or I’ll be moving on

I need to touch you baby

So let me in, c’mon

3. Repeat verse 1

 

Lyrics - Papillon

Papillion

It’s not what you take when you go
It’s what you bring
It’s not the words of your song
But the tune that you sing

You’re happy to give what you’ve got
and all you’ve been given
Now you’re heading for winter
but you’re the colour of spring

So you give it away
You pass it around
You keep what you need
you’d do a butterfly proud
Someday we’re all gonna die
But you’ve helped me realise

Why the papilion flies x 3

It’s not what you take when you go
It’s what you bring
You don’t have to sing like a bird
Just as long as you sing….

Bada ba da bada (4&4)

So you give it away
You pass it around
You keep what you need
you’d do a butterfly proud
Someday we’re all gonna die
But you’ve helped me realise

Why the papilion flies x 4
Na na na na
