It must have been
The shortest time
I thought we had it
Everything was fine
They must have timed it
Like a sly old cat
When I was sleeping
I did not hear the rat
And who was this creep you ask
Who hurt you so?
Oh somebody ...
Maybe that's all
Maybe that's all I need to know
I see their shadow
When I close my eyes
There is no way back now
It cut too deep inside
Dirty tricks I thought
I knew 'em all
There was no writing
on the wall
Who was this creep you ask
Who hurt you so?
Somebody ...
Maybe it's better
Maybe it's better
I don't know
The one they stole
Is now history
But that don't take away
The hurt inside of me
The painful razor
Of the Devil's kiss
Your closest friend
Could never do this
And who was this creep you ask
Who hurt meso?
Oh somebody ...
Maybe that's all
Maybe that's all
I need to know
Deep Winter Blues lyrics - Chris Rea
Freezin' rain
That blows straight through
Your busted soul
Fast food stinks
And hangs in your coat
As you try to take refuge
From the brutal cold
There's a place down south
Where a warm sea breeze kisses your face
Standing in freezing shoes
Me and you
With the deep winter blues
Steam on the main street
Snow on the side street
Ice on the metal stairs
Don't wanna take a shower
Too cold for a bath
Sometimes you'll find you don't even care
There's a place down south
Where a warm sea breeze kisses your face
Standing in freezing shoes
Me and you
With the deep winter blues
Deep winter blues
This cold is killing everyone
There's a smile in your memory
That whispers like a hurricane
Is your life becoming
Just a fight to get out of the freezing snow and rain?
Oh there's a place down south
Where a warm sea breeze kisses your face
Standing in freezing shoes
Me and you
With the deep winter blues
Deep winter blues
That blows straight through
Your busted soul
Fast food stinks
And hangs in your coat
As you try to take refuge
From the brutal cold
There's a place down south
Where a warm sea breeze kisses your face
Standing in freezing shoes
Me and you
With the deep winter blues
Steam on the main street
Snow on the side street
Ice on the metal stairs
Don't wanna take a shower
Too cold for a bath
Sometimes you'll find you don't even care
There's a place down south
Where a warm sea breeze kisses your face
Standing in freezing shoes
Me and you
With the deep winter blues
Deep winter blues
This cold is killing everyone
There's a smile in your memory
That whispers like a hurricane
Is your life becoming
Just a fight to get out of the freezing snow and rain?
Oh there's a place down south
Where a warm sea breeze kisses your face
Standing in freezing shoes
Me and you
With the deep winter blues
Deep winter blues
If I Ever Get Over You lyrics - Chris Rea
When tomorrow comes
The first day for me
that I will rise
Not so young
But free
Gonna paint the town
The brightest red
A drink for every time you said
That we were one
Always to be
I leave at home the ring you gave to me
And I will smile
As the sun comes shining through
If I ever get over you
I'm gonna laugh
No more the silent one
Dance upon tables
Never home 'til midnight, been and gone
I'm gonna throw away
All my clothes so blue
Gonna try everything, everything that's new
And when tomorrow comes
The first day for me
Then I will rise not so young, but free
I will smile
As the sun comes shining through ...
If I ever
If I ever get over you
Somebody said this new life
That I have come to know
I should have tried it
Oh so many years ago
The glimpse of freedom
Sings such a happy song
It's such a shame that it's only there
Only there for one
And I will smile
As the sun comes shining through
If I ever, If I ever
Get over you
The first day for me
that I will rise
Not so young
But free
Gonna paint the town
The brightest red
A drink for every time you said
That we were one
Always to be
I leave at home the ring you gave to me
And I will smile
As the sun comes shining through
If I ever get over you
I'm gonna laugh
No more the silent one
Dance upon tables
Never home 'til midnight, been and gone
I'm gonna throw away
All my clothes so blue
Gonna try everything, everything that's new
And when tomorrow comes
The first day for me
Then I will rise not so young, but free
I will smile
As the sun comes shining through ...
If I ever
If I ever get over you
Somebody said this new life
That I have come to know
I should have tried it
Oh so many years ago
The glimpse of freedom
Sings such a happy song
It's such a shame that it's only there
Only there for one
And I will smile
As the sun comes shining through
If I ever, If I ever
Get over you
I Love The Rain lyrics - Chris Rea
I love the rain
It clears the street
It cool off the pressure
It kill the heat
Gently it's falling
Turn down the heat
I love the rain
I love the rain
It's a sound so sweet
It's got it's own pretty music
See it dance around my feet
Gently it's falling
Turn down the heat
I love the rain
I love the rain
All the people move away
I love how things slow down
On a rainy rainy day
Gently it's falling
Wash the bad stuff away
I love the rain
It kisses the buildings
It kisses the trees
Drip drip drip drip drip
It slides of the leaves
And rolls off your shoulders
And gently rolls off your face
I love the rain
It clears the street
It cool off the pressure
It kill the heat
Gently it's falling
Turn down the heat
I love the rain
I love the rain
It's a sound so sweet
It's got it's own pretty music
See it dance around my feet
Gently it's falling
Turn down the heat
I love the rain
I love the rain
All the people move away
I love how things slow down
On a rainy rainy day
Gently it's falling
Wash the bad stuff away
I love the rain
It kisses the buildings
It kisses the trees
Drip drip drip drip drip
It slides of the leaves
And rolls off your shoulders
And gently rolls off your face
I love the rain
My Soul Crying Out For You lyrics - Chris Rea
Can you hear it?
Singing so low
Every time you tell me
You have got to go
That sad refrain
Those notes so blue
It's my soul
Crying out for you
What wakes you up
In the dead of night
And still you hear it
in the morning light
That sad refrain
Those notes so blue
It's my soul crying out for you
money don't buy no pill
to take away this pain that haunts you still
The sound that you have come to know
And I will not let you go
That sad refrain
Those notes so blue
Don't worry
It's just my soul crying out for you
That sad refrain
Those notes so blue
It's my soul
Crying out for you
Singing so low
Every time you tell me
You have got to go
That sad refrain
Those notes so blue
It's my soul
Crying out for you
What wakes you up
In the dead of night
And still you hear it
in the morning light
That sad refrain
Those notes so blue
It's my soul crying out for you
money don't buy no pill
to take away this pain that haunts you still
The sound that you have come to know
And I will not let you go
That sad refrain
Those notes so blue
Don't worry
It's just my soul crying out for you
That sad refrain
Those notes so blue
It's my soul
Crying out for you
If That's What You Want lyrics - Chris Rea
You say you need some space
Don't want to be tied to nobody that way
I'm hanging on with hands that bleed
Trying to make sense of what you say
And every time I try to make a deal
When morning comes
You forget it
So here's a whole heap of space
Cos if that's what you want
You got it
I been dragging round
Bailing you out
Every time you click your finger
So many things you say you can't do without
You need a slave
And babe that slave ain't me
And I am afraid that's how you'll always be
So if that's what you want
If that's what you want
You got it
Give and take
You'll never understand
It's all take take take
take as much as you can
So a life without responsibility
I'll gladly give you that
Here, take it from me
Fly away
And you'll find out
What life without me
Is all about
Cos if that's what you want
If that's really what you want
You got it
Don't want to be tied to nobody that way
I'm hanging on with hands that bleed
Trying to make sense of what you say
And every time I try to make a deal
When morning comes
You forget it
So here's a whole heap of space
Cos if that's what you want
You got it
I been dragging round
Bailing you out
Every time you click your finger
So many things you say you can't do without
You need a slave
And babe that slave ain't me
And I am afraid that's how you'll always be
So if that's what you want
If that's what you want
You got it
Give and take
You'll never understand
It's all take take take
take as much as you can
So a life without responsibility
I'll gladly give you that
Here, take it from me
Fly away
And you'll find out
What life without me
Is all about
Cos if that's what you want
If that's really what you want
You got it
There's No One Looking lyrics - Chris Rea
There's no one looking
Let's steal away
This ain't the kind of thing
We do anyway
I'll make some excuses
You powder your nose
There's no one looking
Let's go
There's no one looking
It's just you and me
I'll steal a kiss
Nobody will ever see
Let's find an empty street
With a late lonely bar
There's no one looking
At how lovely you are
There's no one looking
So it's OK to smile
There's no one looking
Let's sit here for a while
Laughing's allowed here
Cos nobody can see
There's nobody looking
So for now we can be
There's no one looking
There was nobody looking
When we decided to go
So where are we now
Nobody knows
We get on so easy
Like each other so well
There's nobody looking
Is it OK to touch
There's nobody looking
Let's steal away
This ain't the kind of thing
We do anyway
I'll make some excuses
You powder your nose
There's no one looking
Let's go
There's no one looking
It's just you and me
I'll steal a kiss
Nobody will ever see
Let's find an empty street
With a late lonely bar
There's no one looking
At how lovely you are
There's no one looking
So it's OK to smile
There's no one looking
Let's sit here for a while
Laughing's allowed here
Cos nobody can see
There's nobody looking
So for now we can be
There's no one looking
There was nobody looking
When we decided to go
So where are we now
Nobody knows
We get on so easy
Like each other so well
There's nobody looking
Is it OK to touch
There's nobody looking
What Became Of You lyrics - Chris Rea
What became of you?
And all you reasons why
This special love we knew
Would always end up in the pile
It took an age it seems
To let the tears run dry
Yeah I'll survive
I guess so much is true
That every time
That morning sun breaks through
I wonder what became of you
What became of you?
And all the promises you made
If what you said is rue
The debt of truth you left unpaid
the pain will always need to know
Where did you go?
What did you do?
What became of you
The wound had healed
But there's an aching scar
So deep and blue
The pain will always be to know
Where did you go?
What did you do?
What became of you?
And all you reasons why
This special love we knew
Would always end up in the pile
It took an age it seems
To let the tears run dry
Yeah I'll survive
I guess so much is true
That every time
That morning sun breaks through
I wonder what became of you
What became of you?
And all the promises you made
If what you said is rue
The debt of truth you left unpaid
the pain will always need to know
Where did you go?
What did you do?
What became of you
The wound had healed
But there's an aching scar
So deep and blue
The pain will always be to know
Where did you go?
What did you do?
What became of you?
My Deep Blue Ways lyrics - Chris Rea
There's a moment
In almost every day
I catch a little piece of blue
I stop for a while
Relax 'till a smile
Feels the sun
Come shining through
On a day like today
Don't you worry it's OK
It's just me
And my deep blue ways
They say I'm strong
Yeah I know
That's my history
It's a story that's good to read
But there's a piece of my soul
I could never control
It's never set me free
On a day like today
Don't you worry it's OK
It's just me
And my deep blue ways
Just me and my deep blue ways, yeah
It's such a long time ago
And it seems now so far away
Deep blue was the sky
Deep gold was the sand
And the music of forever
Gently played, yeah
On a day like today
Don't you worry it's OK
It's just me and my deep blue ways
It's just me and my deep blue ways
In almost every day
I catch a little piece of blue
I stop for a while
Relax 'till a smile
Feels the sun
Come shining through
On a day like today
Don't you worry it's OK
It's just me
And my deep blue ways
They say I'm strong
Yeah I know
That's my history
It's a story that's good to read
But there's a piece of my soul
I could never control
It's never set me free
On a day like today
Don't you worry it's OK
It's just me
And my deep blue ways
Just me and my deep blue ways, yeah
It's such a long time ago
And it seems now so far away
Deep blue was the sky
Deep gold was the sand
And the music of forever
Gently played, yeah
On a day like today
Don't you worry it's OK
It's just me and my deep blue ways
It's just me and my deep blue ways

Break Another Piece Of My Heart lyrics - Chris Rea
Girl you're driving me crazy
Girl you're making me blue
Why do you give me such a run-around
Oh babe what am I gonna do
Cos when I think it's all over
Past and gone
We're gonna make a new start
There you go
Break another piece of my heart
All our friends want to know
They all want to know the reason why
You say we're made for each other
That there'll never be another
Then you make me cry
Cos when I think it's all over
Past and gone
We're gonna make a new start
There you go
Break another piece of my heart
Oh there you go
Break another piece of my heart
Now I don't want anybody else but you
And my love is so straight and true
But every promise that you make
Is a promise that you break
I don't know what I'm gonna do
There you go
Break another piece of my heart
Break another piece of my heart
Now I don't want anybody else but you
But when I think we got a brand new start
There you go
Break another piece of my heart
There you go
Break another piece of my heart

But when I think we got a brand new start
There you go
Break another piece of my heart
There you go
Break another piece of my heart
Ball & Chain lyrics - Chris Rea
Sometimes I feel the shadows
What we used to have
Sometimes I get the feeling
Oh how it used to be
I cut my finger
Well, you kissed my blood
You were the shango axe
And I was your wood
Well it's been so long over
There's so little that remains
I just wanna hear you say
I was your lover
Never your ball and chain
I was never your ball and chain
I was your lover
yeah, never your ball and chain
Please one more time
Before I go
There's one small thing
I need to know
It's been so long over
There's so little left remains
that I just wanna hear you say
I was your lover
Oh I was your lover
Never your ball and chain
Oh I was never your ball and chain
yeah, never your ball and chain
What we used to have
Sometimes I get the feeling
Oh how it used to be
I cut my finger
Well, you kissed my blood
You were the shango axe
And I was your wood
Well it's been so long over
There's so little that remains
I just wanna hear you say
I was your lover
Never your ball and chain
I was never your ball and chain
I was your lover
yeah, never your ball and chain
Please one more time
Before I go
There's one small thing
I need to know
It's been so long over
There's so little left remains
that I just wanna hear you say
I was your lover
Oh I was your lover
Never your ball and chain
Oh I was never your ball and chain
yeah, never your ball and chain
Gospel Trail lyrics - Chris Rea
You got lovers
Hiding at night
There's a certain kind of fear in her eyes
Cos the preacher say what she doing ain't right
He see his bread of life
Quickly turning stale
All along
This gospel trail
I got my brother and my best friend
Choking on your book of lies
I saw you kill the truth with your eyes
Made everybody look like a fool
I saw the good Lord's words
Written on a bomb of nails
All along, all along
This gospel trail
I see blood run like a river
Cos of all your mistakes
Your song of compassion
Turned out to be just a fake
So now the innocent on both sides
They're gonna scream and wail
All along, oh all along, along
This gospel trail
Hiding at night
There's a certain kind of fear in her eyes
Cos the preacher say what she doing ain't right
He see his bread of life
Quickly turning stale
All along
This gospel trail
I got my brother and my best friend
Choking on your book of lies
I saw you kill the truth with your eyes
Made everybody look like a fool
I saw the good Lord's words
Written on a bomb of nails
All along, all along
This gospel trail
I see blood run like a river
Cos of all your mistakes
Your song of compassion
Turned out to be just a fake
So now the innocent on both sides
They're gonna scream and wail
All along, oh all along, along
This gospel trail

Hurting in everything you do

Turning a deep shade of blue
Swap your tears of pain
To tears of joy

A shy shy boy
Come Change My World lyrics - Chris Rea
I walk in your garden
And I feel your soul
This time like no other
I don't fear to go
My eyes are wide open
And I'm ready to be
Whatever you're thinking

Make it better that it was before
Come change my world
You come banging on my door
Two broken angels
Sharing life's scars
You don't wanna change me
And I love what you are
Come change my world
Cos I walk in your garden
This time I can see
This time forever
It feels so safe to just let it be, let it be
Come change my world
Make it better that it was before
Come change my world
You come banging on my door
Two broken angels
Sharing life's scars
You don't wanna change me
And I love what we are
Come change my world
Oh come change my world
And I feel your soul
This time like no other
I don't fear to go
My eyes are wide open
And I'm ready to be
Whatever you're thinking

Two broken angels
Sharing life's scars
You don't wanna change me

Call On Me lyrics - Chris Rea
Oh child
Why did you do yourself so much harm
Don't you know don't you know
There's such a long way to go
If I could turn every scar and pain
Into some kind of help for you
I would give anything and everything
To show the way for you
Call on me
I got some good times waiting
Call on me
I got some good times waiting
I know what you're thinking
I hear what you say
The pain that you're feeling
You say won't go away
But I got the wisdom
Of a thousand broken bones
And I would break every one of them one more time
If that's what it takes to get you home
Call on me
I got some good times waiting
Call on me
I got some good times waiting
Call on me
Why did you do yourself so much harm
Don't you know don't you know
There's such a long way to go
If I could turn every scar and pain
Into some kind of help for you
I would give anything and everything
To show the way for you
Call on me
I got some good times waiting
Call on me
I got some good times waiting
I know what you're thinking
I hear what you say
The pain that you're feeling
You say won't go away
But I got the wisdom
Of a thousand broken bones
And I would break every one of them one more time
If that's what it takes to get you home
Call on me
I got some good times waiting
Call on me
I got some good times waiting
Call on me
Just In Case You Never Knew lyrics - Chris Rea
Just in case you never knew
I wanna say
What I feel about you
I wanna tell you
My love is true
Just in case you never knew
Just in case you never knew
Something deep inside
Make me feel oh so blue
Waiting for the sun to break through
So I'm saying it's true
Just in case you never knew
Oh, I've always loved you
Every day though it's crazy I know
My soul she won't let it go
She keeps telling me telling me telling me
So I got to let you know
Just in case, just in case
You never knew
Oh I know
This could make me look like a fool
But darling, oh darling I don't care
Baby I know
I'm acting so uncool
But I got to let you know
My love is there
So I'm telling you my love is true
Just in case you never knew
I wanna say
What I feel about you
I wanna tell you
My love is true
Just in case you never knew

Something deep inside
Make me feel oh so blue
Waiting for the sun to break through
So I'm saying it's true
Just in case you never knew
Oh, I've always loved you
Every day though it's crazy I know
My soul she won't let it go
She keeps telling me telling me telling me
So I got to let you know
Just in case, just in case
You never knew
Oh I know
This could make me look like a fool
But darling, oh darling I don't care
Baby I know
I'm acting so uncool
But I got to let you know
My love is there
So I'm telling you my love is true
Just in case you never knew
Let Me In lyrics - Chris Rea
There's a smile around your doorway
And all your words are shining bright
When you laugh
Its pretty colours
Lighting up the darkest night
It's a dangerous addiction
Everybody wanting more
When your devastating eyes look up
I don't know nothing no more
Come on let me in
Oh I'm helpless make me better
If i don't try how can I win
Come on and let me in
I wanna see the morning light
Move around your face
This ain't about 'good looking'
It's a different kind of grace
Oh half of this strange magic
Is because you don't know
What's behind this doorway
Everybody wants to know
Come on and let me in
Oh I'm helpless make me better
If i don't try how can I win
Come on and let me in
I know there are so many
That laugh around your dance
But I got to ask the question
Just to get me half a chance
If you tell me that I'm crazy
Oh don't worry it's OK
One chance in a zillion
I was glad to know you anyway
Come on and let me in
And all your words are shining bright
When you laugh
Its pretty colours
Lighting up the darkest night
It's a dangerous addiction
Everybody wanting more
When your devastating eyes look up
I don't know nothing no more
Come on let me in
Oh I'm helpless make me better
If i don't try how can I win
Come on and let me in
I wanna see the morning light
Move around your face
This ain't about 'good looking'
It's a different kind of grace
Oh half of this strange magic
Is because you don't know
What's behind this doorway
Everybody wants to know
Come on and let me in
Oh I'm helpless make me better
If i don't try how can I win
Come on and let me in
I know there are so many
That laugh around your dance
But I got to ask the question
Just to get me half a chance
If you tell me that I'm crazy
Oh don't worry it's OK
One chance in a zillion
I was glad to know you anyway
Come on and let me in
I'll Be There For You lyrics - Chris Rea
When the night comes round
Knocking on your door
When the darkness leaves you lonely
You can't take any more
There is someone who is waiting
Al you got to do is call
There is someone who will catch you if you fall
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be waiting
When you need somebody
When you feel oh so blue
I'll be there
Oh I'll be there for you
Yes I will
There's a light that shines across
Your dark and stormy sea
It will be there till your morning
Darling let that light be me
Please don't worry
There is nothing too hard for me to do
I got somebody really special
And that special one is you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be waiting
When you need somebody
When you feel oh so blue
Well, I'll be there
Oh I'll be there for you
I will be there for you
Yes I will
When you need somebody
Knocking on your door
When the darkness leaves you lonely
You can't take any more
There is someone who is waiting
Al you got to do is call
There is someone who will catch you if you fall
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be waiting
When you need somebody
When you feel oh so blue
I'll be there
Oh I'll be there for you
Yes I will
There's a light that shines across
Your dark and stormy sea
It will be there till your morning
Darling let that light be me
Please don't worry
There is nothing too hard for me to do
I got somebody really special
And that special one is you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be waiting
When you need somebody
When you feel oh so blue
Well, I'll be there
Oh I'll be there for you
I will be there for you
Yes I will
When you need somebody
The Pain Of Loving You lyrics - Chris Rea
See me walking 'round town
See me out on the street
there's a tear in every face
Of the friends that I meet
they try so hard to hide it
But it's easy to see
I know they care about it
What it's doing to me
Cos they know
What I, what I'm going through
Time and again
They see the pain
Of loving you
In the coffee break
In a bar at night
They keep catching me
Hiding from the light
It's so easy to see
The futile steps that i'm taking
To raise up a smile
While my heart is breaking
Cos they know
What I, what I'm going through
Time and again
They see the pain
Of loving you
I know that you
You don't want it this way
I know you care about me
So if you see a tear turn away
There's nothing nobody can do
No-one's to blame
It's just the pain of loving you
The pain of loving you
See me out on the street
there's a tear in every face
Of the friends that I meet
they try so hard to hide it
But it's easy to see
I know they care about it
What it's doing to me
Cos they know
What I, what I'm going through
Time and again
They see the pain
Of loving you
In the coffee break
In a bar at night
They keep catching me
Hiding from the light
It's so easy to see
The futile steps that i'm taking
To raise up a smile
While my heart is breaking
Cos they know
What I, what I'm going through
Time and again
They see the pain
Of loving you
I know that you
You don't want it this way
I know you care about me
So if you see a tear turn away
There's nothing nobody can do
No-one's to blame
It's just the pain of loving you
The pain of loving you
Too Far From Home lyrics - Chris Rea
You may find me
Wherever you go
From New York City
Way out to Chicago
I'm the son of a restless sailor
Blessed with Irish bones
Sometimes I feel like
I'm too far from home
I will sing
And I will dance for you
Every land you go
You will always see
There'll be big stout glasses
Full to the white top
There'll be stories
And there'll be me
Across the wild sea
I've travelled far
Born to move on
Born to roam
But lately I've been feeling
Like I'm too far from home
Whatever happened
To the girl I loved
Oh I ask forgiveness
To the one above
There was a day I could have made it real fine
Something went wrong I forget
Too far down that line
Across the wild sea
Too far along down along that line
Across the wild sea
Born to roam
But lately I've been feeling
Like I'm too far from home
Wherever you go
From New York City
Way out to Chicago
I'm the son of a restless sailor
Blessed with Irish bones
Sometimes I feel like
I'm too far from home
I will sing
And I will dance for you
Every land you go
You will always see
There'll be big stout glasses
Full to the white top
There'll be stories
And there'll be me
Across the wild sea
I've travelled far
Born to move on
Born to roam
But lately I've been feeling
Like I'm too far from home
Whatever happened
To the girl I loved
Oh I ask forgiveness
To the one above
There was a day I could have made it real fine
Something went wrong I forget
Too far down that line
Across the wild sea
Too far along down along that line
Across the wild sea
Born to roam
But lately I've been feeling
Like I'm too far from home
Til The Morning Sun Shines On My Love And Me lyrics - Chris Rea
It's a dream I know
We all know so well
Everywhere I go
She's only one step behind
I could search the world over
But I'll never be free
'Til the morning sun shines
Oh my love, and me
I have taken so many
Turns on this road
I don't know east from west
North or south which is best?
I will never know now
The best way to be
'Til the morning sun shines
Oh my love, and me
I went looking for my home
On a cold winter's day
Waved goodbye to my best friend
As he faded away
Somewhere between fortune and reason to be
I found out there was only one thing
That really mattered to me
Oh the busted and the lonely
Are my only true friends
Feel like a wounded old fighting dog
Waiting for the end
I've exchanged all my victories
For just a short time to see
The morning sunrise
On my love, and me
We all know so well
Everywhere I go
She's only one step behind
I could search the world over
But I'll never be free
'Til the morning sun shines
Oh my love, and me
I have taken so many
Turns on this road
I don't know east from west
North or south which is best?
I will never know now
The best way to be
'Til the morning sun shines
Oh my love, and me
I went looking for my home
On a cold winter's day
Waved goodbye to my best friend
As he faded away
Somewhere between fortune and reason to be
I found out there was only one thing
That really mattered to me
Oh the busted and the lonely
Are my only true friends
Feel like a wounded old fighting dog
Waiting for the end
I've exchanged all my victories
For just a short time to see
The morning sunrise
On my love, and me
What She Really Is lyrics - Chris Rea
One day you will find
That you done her wrong
When it's all passed on over
All dead and gone
You drink to what you
What you thought she was
And I will drink to
What she really is
And if you ever thought
That she lost her way
Well it hurts me much more
Cos you did not say
And what was all true
One day you will see
Oh don't be confused
It's not what came to be
It's how that she is
And always will be
Now you ask yourself
Why did you not see
How you'd like to be
in your wildest dream
Well that's how she saw you
how it could have been
Come on drink up some more
To what you thought she was
And I'll drink to the angel that she really is
Such a pain now to find out
Now it's way past and gone
What you wanted her to be
She was all along
So come on drink up some more
To what you thought she was
And I'll drink to what
To what she, she really is
That you done her wrong
When it's all passed on over
All dead and gone
You drink to what you
What you thought she was
And I will drink to
What she really is
And if you ever thought
That she lost her way
Well it hurts me much more
Cos you did not say
And what was all true
One day you will see
Oh don't be confused
It's not what came to be
It's how that she is
And always will be
Now you ask yourself
Why did you not see
How you'd like to be
in your wildest dream
Well that's how she saw you
how it could have been
Come on drink up some more
To what you thought she was
And I'll drink to the angel that she really is
Such a pain now to find out
Now it's way past and gone
What you wanted her to be
She was all along
So come on drink up some more
To what you thought she was
And I'll drink to what
To what she, she really is
Wishing Well lyrics - Chris Rea
There's a dream that has no ending
There's a love that cannot be
There's a ghost without the chains of love
Who will never ever be free
And gather round the rich man
Their own souls to sell
Down in the darkness
Of the wishing well
There's a way to find peace
That nobody cares to own
The sacrifice that's needed
May be way to close to home
There's a charter of freedom
Where the last soldier fell
All in the darkness
Of the wishing well
There's a whisper of light
Way above their desires
While they sit in the dark
And dream of bright skies
What they wanted so bad
Don't exist in it's place
The idea of changing
Is too hard to face
Down in the darkness
Of the wishing well
So they sit at the bottom
And they gaze with sad eyes
That grow larger than envy
Til they split at the sides
And they sleep in the mess
Of the last soul that fell
Down in the darkness
Oh, down in the darkness
Of the wishing well
There's a love that cannot be
There's a ghost without the chains of love
Who will never ever be free
And gather round the rich man
Their own souls to sell
Down in the darkness
Of the wishing well
There's a way to find peace
That nobody cares to own
The sacrifice that's needed
May be way to close to home
There's a charter of freedom
Where the last soldier fell
All in the darkness
Of the wishing well
There's a whisper of light
Way above their desires
While they sit in the dark
And dream of bright skies
What they wanted so bad
Don't exist in it's place
The idea of changing
Is too hard to face
Down in the darkness
Of the wishing well
So they sit at the bottom
And they gaze with sad eyes
That grow larger than envy
Til they split at the sides
And they sleep in the mess
Of the last soul that fell
Down in the darkness
Oh, down in the darkness
Of the wishing well

No More Sorrow lyrics - Chris Rea
Broken hearts
And broken souls
Are all that's left here
On a piano stool
Trying to play a tune
Make them feel alright
They talk of days
Sweet past and gone
And a love that got away
Put one more nightcap
In this empty glass
And these words I hear 'em say
No more sorrow
No more pain
Good Lord please forgive me
Yeah sing it again
No more sorrow
No more fear
Feel that sweet day
Coming near
There's no such thing
As bad luck here
There just ain't no luck at all
How did I ever lose my way
The only writing on this bar room wall
They talk of days
Sweet past and gone
And a love that got away
Put one more nightcap
In this empty glass
And these words I hear 'em say
No more sorrow
No more pain
Good Lord please forgive me
Yeah sing it again
No more sorrow
No more fear
Feel that sweet day
Coming near
And broken souls
Are all that's left here
On a piano stool
Trying to play a tune
Make them feel alright
They talk of days
Sweet past and gone
And a love that got away
Put one more nightcap
In this empty glass
And these words I hear 'em say
No more sorrow
No more pain
Good Lord please forgive me
Yeah sing it again
No more sorrow
No more fear
Feel that sweet day
Coming near
There's no such thing
As bad luck here
There just ain't no luck at all
How did I ever lose my way
The only writing on this bar room wall
They talk of days
Sweet past and gone
And a love that got away
Put one more nightcap
In this empty glass
And these words I hear 'em say
No more sorrow
No more pain
Good Lord please forgive me
Yeah sing it again
No more sorrow
No more fear
Feel that sweet day
Coming near
While I Remain lyrics - Chris Rea
I take this moring
With a change of heart
I take this moring
And make a brand new start
It was such a short while
We were apart
Now you speak of change
While I remain
A chance of love
For evermore
I thought had come
Up to my door
You've said your feelings
Were just the same
Now you talk of change
While I remain
This part of you
I did not know
I kissed your face
And watched you go
If there was something
It did not show
Seems while you changed
While I remain
I should have tried
To stay by you
I did not go
Oh how I wanted to
How could I see
This rock so grave?
That lay below
Your deep blue wave
This rock of change
While I remain
So short a time
So big the chance
So quick the sting
So slow the pain
Oh life we shared
I'll try to start again
But what I loved is gone
While I remain
I curse the day
I kissed your flame
Now what I love so much is gone
While I remain
With a change of heart
I take this moring
And make a brand new start
It was such a short while
We were apart
Now you speak of change
While I remain
A chance of love
For evermore
I thought had come
Up to my door
You've said your feelings
Were just the same
Now you talk of change
While I remain
This part of you
I did not know
I kissed your face
And watched you go
If there was something
It did not show
Seems while you changed
While I remain
I should have tried
To stay by you
I did not go
Oh how I wanted to
How could I see
This rock so grave?
That lay below
Your deep blue wave
This rock of change
While I remain
So short a time
So big the chance
So quick the sting
So slow the pain
Oh life we shared
I'll try to start again
But what I loved is gone
While I remain
I curse the day
I kissed your flame
Now what I love so much is gone
While I remain
Last Drink lyrics - Chris Rea
Wherever I roam
Wherever I go
They'll always be
A smile that I know
At the calling of time
And the last one is here
My lips kiss the glass
And I feel your soul near
Wherever I go
Whatever I do
My last drink is always
Always for you
There'll always be time
Time for "the one"
They'll always be reasons
Before the last one is gone
So my lips the glass
For the good times we knew
And my last drink is always
Always for you
A glass that is full
Is how I see me and you
So I'll smile while drink it
Let tomorrow shine through
My lips kiss the glass
To the good times we knew
And my last drink is always
Always for you
Wherever I go
They'll always be
A smile that I know
At the calling of time
And the last one is here
My lips kiss the glass
And I feel your soul near
Wherever I go
Whatever I do
My last drink is always
Always for you
There'll always be time
Time for "the one"
They'll always be reasons
Before the last one is gone
So my lips the glass
For the good times we knew
And my last drink is always
Always for you
A glass that is full
Is how I see me and you
So I'll smile while drink it
Let tomorrow shine through
My lips kiss the glass
To the good times we knew
And my last drink is always
Always for you
'Til I Find My True Love's Name lyrics - Chris Rea
Ride the wind
Ride the rain
Steal the thunder
Take the pain
Keep it burning
keep the flame
'Til I find my true love's name
Twelve wild angels
Sing this song
Into forever
They drag me on
Lashed with leather hurricanes
'Til I find my true love's name
This path of hailstones
Is easy to choose
Without a lover
There's nothing to lose
My wrists may bleed
But nothing will change
'Til I find my true love's name
Still I smile and I go on
Let the Devil sing his fearful song
I will not rest
I will not be chained
'Til i find my true
Oh 'til I find my true
Oh 'til I find my true love's name
Ride the rain
Steal the thunder
Take the pain
Keep it burning
keep the flame
'Til I find my true love's name
Twelve wild angels
Sing this song
Into forever
They drag me on
Lashed with leather hurricanes
'Til I find my true love's name
This path of hailstones
Is easy to choose
Without a lover
There's nothing to lose
My wrists may bleed
But nothing will change
'Til I find my true love's name
Still I smile and I go on
Let the Devil sing his fearful song
I will not rest
I will not be chained
'Til i find my true
Oh 'til I find my true
Oh 'til I find my true love's name
Big White Door lyrics - Chris Rea
Looks like I'm flying
But I'm crawling slowly
I learn the way to swim
Is just to let it go
Don't expect nothing
Don't smile or grieve no more
Except maybe a little more pain
And a little more closely
To the big white door
First time I saw it
My fear ran wild
Screaming like a drowing man
Crying like a child
But each time I looked out
It was a little closer than before
Of that big white door
Now I'm gliding on the fast flow
Now I'm falling through the air
Seems like everything is moving slowly
Now I find I don't seem to care
A little closer
A little darker
'Til there's nothing else more
Just the universe in shadow
Of the big, the big white door
Of the big white door
But I'm crawling slowly
I learn the way to swim
Is just to let it go
Don't expect nothing
Don't smile or grieve no more
Except maybe a little more pain
And a little more closely
To the big white door
First time I saw it
My fear ran wild
Screaming like a drowing man
Crying like a child
But each time I looked out
It was a little closer than before
Of that big white door
Now I'm gliding on the fast flow
Now I'm falling through the air
Seems like everything is moving slowly
Now I find I don't seem to care
A little closer
A little darker
'Til there's nothing else more
Just the universe in shadow
Of the big, the big white door
Of the big white door
Hey Gringo lyrics - Chris Rea

Immigration Blues lyrics - Chris Rea
I came here to work
And take up the rope
Give contributuion
In this land of hope
I'll bleed for your king
I'll die for your queen
Give all and some more
To your western dream
Locked in the ghetto
Waiting for news
Standing on the corner
With those immigration blues
My cousin told me
Steal your mother's ring of gold
Raise every single dollar
Oh before we get too old
Now I'm standing in an endless line
Waiting for some news
My dignity cries for mercy
With those immigration blues
Don't know where my cousin went to
Maybe they sent him back alone
I miss the ones I left so badly
Maybe I should have stayed back home
Somebody knows a dealer
Now it seems I don't get to choose
So I got to try whatever
Kick out these immigration blues, yeah
Those immigration blues
And take up the rope
Give contributuion
In this land of hope
I'll bleed for your king
I'll die for your queen
Give all and some more
To your western dream
Locked in the ghetto
Waiting for news
Standing on the corner
With those immigration blues
My cousin told me
Steal your mother's ring of gold
Raise every single dollar
Oh before we get too old
Now I'm standing in an endless line
Waiting for some news
My dignity cries for mercy
With those immigration blues
Don't know where my cousin went to
Maybe they sent him back alone
I miss the ones I left so badly
Maybe I should have stayed back home
Somebody knows a dealer
Now it seems I don't get to choose
So I got to try whatever
Kick out these immigration blues, yeah
Those immigration blues
Still Trying To Clear My Name lyrics - Chris Rea
You heard all the stories
You heard what they say
This stuff's so outdated
I can't believe I have to live this way
There's been so many seasons
Years of thunder fire and rain
So many years since I got free
And I'm still trying to clear my name
Still trying to clear my name
Like an old prize-fighter
everybody wants to punch
i even try to take a fall sometimes
just to get back to my lunch
I get it so many times
I swear I'll go insane
So many years now since I got framed
And I'm still trying to clear my name
Let me tell you it's getting closer
Closer by the day
I'm loosing my soul
When I'm hearing what they say
I try to be polite
I try to smile
And walk away
Sometimes it gets me so bad
I'm gonna loose it in a big way
So many years
Since I've gone straight
So many years of shame
And I'm still trying to clear my name
You heard what they say
This stuff's so outdated
I can't believe I have to live this way
There's been so many seasons
Years of thunder fire and rain
So many years since I got free
And I'm still trying to clear my name
Still trying to clear my name
Like an old prize-fighter
everybody wants to punch
i even try to take a fall sometimes
just to get back to my lunch
I get it so many times
I swear I'll go insane
So many years now since I got framed
And I'm still trying to clear my name
Let me tell you it's getting closer
Closer by the day
I'm loosing my soul
When I'm hearing what they say
I try to be polite
I try to smile
And walk away
Sometimes it gets me so bad
I'm gonna loose it in a big way
So many years
Since I've gone straight
So many years of shame
And I'm still trying to clear my name
Sun Is Hot lyrics - Chris Rea
Sun is hot

Oh that sun is sure hot

Screw You And Your Deep Blue Sea lyrics - Chris Rea
White god standing
By the breaking waves
Thirty pieces of silver
Everybody gave
You drop 'em in
Eat 'em up
You drink his wine
From a plastic cup
The soul of this place
You've taken from me
So screw you
And your deep blue sea
Complex phrases
Hide what's true
The biggest lies
you ever knew
The virgin angel
She screams and chokes
She's drowning now
In a pool of bootleg coke
I'm getting off while my soul's still free
So screw you
And your deep blue sea
They say the Lord
Turned their sins to stone
The gold and silver fell off
The dried up bones
The golden beaches
Of my younger days
Thirty bits of silver
Sold into the poisoned waves
The soul of this place
You've taken from me
So screw you
And your deep blue sea
And your deep blue sea
I'm getting off
While my soul's still free
Yeah screw you
And your deep blue sea
And your deep blue sea
By the breaking waves
Thirty pieces of silver
Everybody gave
You drop 'em in
Eat 'em up
You drink his wine
From a plastic cup
The soul of this place
You've taken from me
So screw you
And your deep blue sea
Complex phrases
Hide what's true
The biggest lies
you ever knew
The virgin angel
She screams and chokes
She's drowning now
In a pool of bootleg coke
I'm getting off while my soul's still free
So screw you
And your deep blue sea
They say the Lord
Turned their sins to stone
The gold and silver fell off
The dried up bones
The golden beaches
Of my younger days
Thirty bits of silver
Sold into the poisoned waves
The soul of this place
You've taken from me
So screw you
And your deep blue sea
And your deep blue sea
I'm getting off
While my soul's still free
Yeah screw you
And your deep blue sea
And your deep blue sea
Nothing Seems To Matter No More lyrics - Chris Rea
Down by the shore
The devil rides out
You know what it is
By the way the angels are crying
Strange kind of waiting
Fear in his soul
Laughing so loud, but
Ain't nobody smiling
with dignity so far down the road
And the death of truth
Banging on the door
No nothing, nothing seems to matter no more
Well I'm thanking the Lord
I know what I am
When you know what you want
It's easy
And there for the taking
The value of gold
Just a numbers game
Whilst your ace of your riches
Laughs at your empty heart breaking
Well you say I don't care
But you got me all wrong
I just don't want to be aware I gaze
At the smile that you're faking
Guess you'll never know why
What you crave you can't buy
You say you're trying your best
But it's just a whole heap of mess
That you're making
When they change the rules
And tell you the truth
Is against the law
Nothing, oh nothing
Can ever matter no more
Oh, nothing can ever matter no more
The devil rides out
You know what it is
By the way the angels are crying
Strange kind of waiting
Fear in his soul
Laughing so loud, but
Ain't nobody smiling
with dignity so far down the road
And the death of truth
Banging on the door
No nothing, nothing seems to matter no more
Well I'm thanking the Lord
I know what I am
When you know what you want
It's easy
And there for the taking
The value of gold
Just a numbers game
Whilst your ace of your riches
Laughs at your empty heart breaking
Well you say I don't care
But you got me all wrong
I just don't want to be aware I gaze
At the smile that you're faking
Guess you'll never know why
What you crave you can't buy
You say you're trying your best
But it's just a whole heap of mess
That you're making
When they change the rules
And tell you the truth
Is against the law
Nothing, oh nothing
Can ever matter no more
Oh, nothing can ever matter no more
Sometimes lyrics - Chris Rea
Sometimes there are no words
To set you free
Sometimes you have to let it go
And let it be
Sometimes there is only
A deep ocean blue
And a wave above
An endless sea
Take off on your sails
And let the wind take you
Take you where she pleases
Where she goes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes all you had
Seemed lost forever
Sometimes nothing you can do can make a change
Sometimes all there is, is deep blue ocean
One pair of footprints is all that remains
Take off on your sails
And let the wind take you
Take you where she pleases
Where she goes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
To set you free
Sometimes you have to let it go
And let it be
Sometimes there is only
A deep ocean blue
And a wave above
An endless sea
Take off on your sails
And let the wind take you
Take you where she pleases
Where she goes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes all you had
Seemed lost forever
Sometimes nothing you can do can make a change
Sometimes all there is, is deep blue ocean
One pair of footprints is all that remains
Take off on your sails
And let the wind take you
Take you where she pleases
Where she goes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Lampiou lyrics - Chris Rea
Dark is the morning
On this fateful day
Lord knows I tried to live
The way the good Lord say
But they cheated on me
With their book of lies
Now they're staring all the way through me
With their careless coward eyes
Now they leave me
With a choice of two
To lose their or do
What Lampiou do
What turns a good man
To the sword and gun?
When you still his dignity
Leave him nowhere to run
I hear the Devil
I hear his voice
If I pull the trigger
Is it really out of choice?
You say yes because you can walk away
Without your clothes on such a cold bleak day
God say they only get to sit on high
Because their stairways are all built on fear and lies
So if you tell me there's no other way
Maybe I ask the Devil
Maybe listen what he say
In Lampiou's way there is no return
There's no way back
And all your bridges you must burn
The toughest of decisions
Between the trigger and the knife
Does the balance of God's own justice
Need the taking of a life
Now they leave me
With a choice of two
To lose my way or do
What Lampiou do
What Lampiou do
On this fateful day
Lord knows I tried to live
The way the good Lord say
But they cheated on me
With their book of lies
Now they're staring all the way through me
With their careless coward eyes
Now they leave me
With a choice of two
To lose their or do
What Lampiou do
What turns a good man
To the sword and gun?
When you still his dignity
Leave him nowhere to run
I hear the Devil
I hear his voice
If I pull the trigger
Is it really out of choice?
You say yes because you can walk away
Without your clothes on such a cold bleak day
God say they only get to sit on high
Because their stairways are all built on fear and lies
So if you tell me there's no other way
Maybe I ask the Devil
Maybe listen what he say
In Lampiou's way there is no return
There's no way back
And all your bridges you must burn
The toughest of decisions
Between the trigger and the knife
Does the balance of God's own justice
Need the taking of a life
Now they leave me
With a choice of two
To lose my way or do
What Lampiou do

Lucifer's Angel lyrics - Chris Rea
You say I'm still here
But inside I'm gone
Lucifer's angel
Is singing this song
And you say there's no reason
For this sad soul to be blue
But that all depends
On what you heard was true
God in his chamber
Judge is in the hall
Lucifer's Angel screams a victory call
And you say it's all shiny, shiny and new
But that all depends
On what you say is true
There a kind of change
That not many will see
Til it's too late to reason
And the Devil runs free
And you say you're the wise man
We should listen to you
But that all depends
On what you ever knew
I see a new kind of winning
And I wish you could see too
All the rules have been broken
And they're laughing at you
You say I'm thinking too heavy
There's no fearing to do
But that always depended
On what you say is true
There's a big change coming
Like you ain't seen before
Lucifer's gone missing
There's something else at your door
While you say that I worry
And that men that hide
Can never sue
While that all was depending
On what you thought
You ever knew
But inside I'm gone
Lucifer's angel
Is singing this song
And you say there's no reason
For this sad soul to be blue
But that all depends
On what you heard was true
God in his chamber
Judge is in the hall
Lucifer's Angel screams a victory call
And you say it's all shiny, shiny and new
But that all depends
On what you say is true
There a kind of change
That not many will see
Til it's too late to reason
And the Devil runs free
And you say you're the wise man
We should listen to you
But that all depends
On what you ever knew
I see a new kind of winning
And I wish you could see too
All the rules have been broken
And they're laughing at you
You say I'm thinking too heavy
There's no fearing to do
But that always depended
On what you say is true
There's a big change coming
Like you ain't seen before
Lucifer's gone missing
There's something else at your door
While you say that I worry
And that men that hide
Can never sue
While that all was depending
On what you thought
You ever knew
That's How I Know It's You lyrics - Chris Rea
When my heart skips a beat
When something moves
from my head down to my feet
When I close my eyes
And see the deep deepest blue
That's how I know
That's how I know it's you
I don't need no bell that rings
I don't need a call
I don't need no bird that sings
I don't need no spring or fall
Cos when I close my eyes
And feel a smile shining through
That's how I know
That's how I know it's you
When the storm comes in to town
It don't bother me
It used to bring me down
No it's just a rainy day
Cos when I close my eyes
And see the deep deepest blue
That's how I know
That's how I know it's you
Forever lyrics - Chris Rea
Hearing now
The sound of the waves breaking on the shore
Feel that sun
Late in the day
It's touching forever more
You and me
Together we should be
You and me
We should be together
Forever
This place in time
Can never be replaced
This chance to see
Will go without a trace
How we really are
Is how that we could be
The rest is useless pain
Let it go and you will see
We all have plans
But it's not because of
We just get full of what we really need
You and me
Together we should be
Forever
Forever
You and me
Together we should be
You and me we should be
Together
Forever
The sound of the waves breaking on the shore
Feel that sun
Late in the day
It's touching forever more
You and me
Together we should be
You and me
We should be together
Forever
This place in time
Can never be replaced
This chance to see
Will go without a trace
How we really are
Is how that we could be
The rest is useless pain
Let it go and you will see
We all have plans
But it's not because of
We just get full of what we really need
You and me
Together we should be
Forever
Forever
You and me
Together we should be
You and me we should be
Together
Forever

Bajan Blue lyrics - Chris Rea
This dark and cold
Sure gets me down
I close my eyes
And I drift away
To a land
That I once knew
Left me bajan blue
My bajan blue
So when I'm down
I sing this song
I see the place
That it came from
The land that I
Oh that I once knew
Left me bajan blue
Oh I'm bajan blue
The big ships came
with a thousand souls
The laid back dream
Was bought and sold
The Jumbo birds
With their mighty roar
Now what I love can be more
Down on my bajan shore
But I still feel
The smiles you gave
The white sand turned
On a turquoise wave
Forever more
Oh it's only you
My bajan blue
Sure gets me down
I close my eyes
And I drift away
To a land
That I once knew
Left me bajan blue
My bajan blue
So when I'm down
I sing this song
I see the place
That it came from
The land that I
Oh that I once knew
Left me bajan blue
Oh I'm bajan blue
The big ships came
with a thousand souls
The laid back dream
Was bought and sold
The Jumbo birds
With their mighty roar
Now what I love can be more
Down on my bajan shore
But I still feel
The smiles you gave
The white sand turned
On a turquoise wave
Forever more
Oh it's only you
My bajan blue

Got To Be Moving lyrics - Chris Rea
Got to keep moving
Something driving me on
I got to keep moving
Tomorrow I’ll be long gone
Hey little girl

Heartbreaker lyrics - Chris Rea
He got a ring on his finger
Don’t let him ever point it at you
He got a ring on his finger
Take care if he’s looking at you
He ain’t no cool dream maker
Just a midnight faker
A heartbreaker
And he’s gonna put his dirt on you
He got a poison switchblade
He gonna play some tricks on you
Oh you’ll never see it coming
Never sure what he gonna do
He ain’t no cool dream maker
Just a midnight faker
A heartbreaker
And he’s gonna put his dirt on you
Walk in the bar like he never done nobody wrong
But he’ll turn like a mustang
You never see where he’s coming from
He ain’t no cool dream maker
Just a midnight faker
A heartbreaker
And he’s gonna put his dirt on you
He’s just an old heartbreaker
Wasted Love lyrics - Chris Rea
Who’s that knockin’ on my door
Who is crying
I wanna know
In sleepless nights
You turn and pray
And hide from mornings
Mornings blinding grey
Time will pass by
And still you hear
Those children cry
Tears of pain
From a sky way above
The broken heart
Of a wasted love
Wasted love
See it out on a highway
See it down in a street
See the leaders stand smiling
As it dies at their feet
Tears of pain
From a sky way above
The broken heart
Of a wasted love
Time will pass by
And still you hear
Oh those children cry
Tears of pain
From the sky way above
The broken heart
Of a wasted love
The broken heart
Of a wasted love
Who is crying
I wanna know
In sleepless nights
You turn and pray
And hide from mornings
Mornings blinding grey
Time will pass by
And still you hear
Those children cry
Tears of pain
From a sky way above
The broken heart
Of a wasted love
Wasted love
See it out on a highway
See it down in a street
See the leaders stand smiling
As it dies at their feet
Tears of pain
From a sky way above
The broken heart
Of a wasted love
Time will pass by
And still you hear
Oh those children cry
Tears of pain
From the sky way above
The broken heart
Of a wasted love
The broken heart
Of a wasted love
Cool Cool Blue lyrics - Chris Rea
Cool cool blue
Take it easy
Cool cool blue
Take it easy
Born a fighter
With a broken heart
So many time you try
You try to make a brand new start
So many tears go by
Before you realise
Well chasing too high
Will only make you cry
You got to be cool cool blue
Take it easy
You got to be cool cool blue
Take it easy
I met an angel one time
Showed me another way
She had a different kind of thinking
So I listened what she say
She say you always fighting to break free
You always crashing around
It’s your own crazy dream of freedom
That’s what keeps you chained and bound
Why don’t you be cool cool blue
Take it easy
Cool cool blue
Take it easy
Sometimes it ain’t worth what you gotta do
Sometimes it ain’t worth what
you gotta put yourself through
Take it easy
Take it easy
You got to be cool cool blue
Take it easy
Take it easy
Cool cool blue
Take it easy
Born a fighter
With a broken heart
So many time you try
You try to make a brand new start
So many tears go by
Before you realise
Well chasing too high
Will only make you cry
You got to be cool cool blue
Take it easy
You got to be cool cool blue
Take it easy
I met an angel one time
Showed me another way
She had a different kind of thinking
So I listened what she say
She say you always fighting to break free
You always crashing around
It’s your own crazy dream of freedom
That’s what keeps you chained and bound
Why don’t you be cool cool blue
Take it easy
Cool cool blue
Take it easy
Sometimes it ain’t worth what you gotta do
Sometimes it ain’t worth what
you gotta put yourself through
Take it easy
Take it easy
You got to be cool cool blue
Take it easy
Clarkson Blues lyrics - Chris Rea
Oh I’m calling out
To the king of wheels
I gotta let him know
The way I feel
Every car all shiny and new
You sell your own mother
For that what that big guy’d do
Yeah you would
Gotta give me some money
For these car-less shoes
Standing at the bus stop
With a Clarkson blues
Every kind of motor
Has ever been made
Driven to destruction
Each and every day
P. Zeros
Melt em’ down
Sure beat everybody to the best job in town
I got to get me some money for these car-less shoes
Standing at the bus stop
With a Clarkson blues, yeah

Bust 'em up and send 'em back
Clarkson blues
Crash for free
Clarkson blues
We all want to be
Engineer
He live in fear
Bossman tell him

Hear that moto engine scream
Big boy living out our dream
I’m just some punk
With worn out shoes
Standing at the bus stop
With the Clarkson blues
To the king of wheels
I gotta let him know
The way I feel
Every car all shiny and new
You sell your own mother
For that what that big guy’d do

Who Killed Love lyrics - Chris Rea
These streets of tears
Are all that’s left to see
Somebody made them
Now it’s our destiny
Down on the corner
A cruel wind that blows
Where the gentle smile was lost
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Now you can die out there
By the company wall
Nobody gonna help you
If you stumble and fall
No tell me who
Who killed love
Oh won’t you tell me
Who, who killed love
Don’t let this chance get away
Why don’t you leave some
Heat to say you passed this way
They all looking for money
They all looking to be
Somebody who gets away
Somebody who breaks free
But they’re building their dreams
On a broken old floor
They can’t get one cent ahead
Each single day a little more
Everybody crying
Everybody blue
You try to find some kind of peace
Before the night was through
Building up the pressure
Losing every day
Jesus asked the question
But they looked the other way
So tell me who
Who killed love
Say a prayer for the lonely
For the sad and the blue
Say a prayer for me while your on your knees
And I’ll say a prayer for you
Say a prayer for the broken
Say a prayer for the old
Say a prayer for each other
While we save all our souls
No tell me who
Who killed love
Oh won’t you tell me please
Who, who killed love
Are all that’s left to see
Somebody made them
Now it’s our destiny
Down on the corner
A cruel wind that blows
Where the gentle smile was lost
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Now you can die out there
By the company wall
Nobody gonna help you
If you stumble and fall
No tell me who
Who killed love
Oh won’t you tell me
Who, who killed love
Don’t let this chance get away
Why don’t you leave some
Heat to say you passed this way
They all looking for money
They all looking to be
Somebody who gets away
Somebody who breaks free
But they’re building their dreams
On a broken old floor
They can’t get one cent ahead
Each single day a little more
Everybody crying
Everybody blue
You try to find some kind of peace
Before the night was through
Building up the pressure
Losing every day
Jesus asked the question
But they looked the other way
So tell me who
Who killed love
Say a prayer for the lonely
For the sad and the blue
Say a prayer for me while your on your knees
And I’ll say a prayer for you
Say a prayer for the broken
Say a prayer for the old
Say a prayer for each other
While we save all our souls
No tell me who
Who killed love
Oh won’t you tell me please
Who, who killed love
Never Tie Me Down lyrics - Chris Rea
I got a load of bad stuff
Laying heavy on my mind
I got a smile that sometimes
I find so hard to find
I got trouble
Chasing me every day
Too scared to look out
See what the bad sings say
Well you can beat up on my busted soul
Leave it bleeding on the ground
But oh Lord you ain’t ever gonna tie me down
I got the Devil
He follows me around
He keep coming
Chasing me from town to town
I got a two ton bag of lead
Slammin’ down on me
Well, peace and love
Oh baby that ain’t never coming near me
Beat my soul
Leave it bleeding chained and bound
But let me tell you
You ain’t never gonna chain me down
Oh Lord, never tie me down
You better look out
Cos I’m always gonna be around
I’ll tell you why, I’ll tell you why, why why
Oh Lord, you ain’t never gonna chain me down
Laying heavy on my mind
I got a smile that sometimes
I find so hard to find
I got trouble
Chasing me every day
Too scared to look out
See what the bad sings say
Well you can beat up on my busted soul
Leave it bleeding on the ground
But oh Lord you ain’t ever gonna tie me down
I got the Devil
He follows me around
He keep coming
Chasing me from town to town
I got a two ton bag of lead
Slammin’ down on me
Well, peace and love
Oh baby that ain’t never coming near me
Beat my soul
Leave it bleeding chained and bound
But let me tell you
You ain’t never gonna chain me down
Oh Lord, never tie me down
You better look out
Cos I’m always gonna be around
I’ll tell you why, I’ll tell you why, why why
Oh Lord, you ain’t never gonna chain me down
Mindless lyrics - Chris Rea
I got my teeth in the wind
Gonna take whatever come my way
Oh nothing can stop this
What that I’m feeling today
You turned us to stone
Now you’re gonna have to eat what you say
Cos we’re mindless, yeah we’re mindless
I’ve used every grain in my brain
Trying to get what you say
You had so many chances
Now the Devil he dances on your cheating ways
You turned sweet little angels
into poison looking for blood
Now we’re mindless, yeah we’re mindless
You look for someone to blame
yeah it’s always the same
With somebody like you
Nothing to say
Now you made it this way
What you put us all through
You turned sweet little angels
into poison looking for blood
Oh,we’re mindless, yeah we’re mindless
Now we’re mindless
Gonna take whatever come my way
Oh nothing can stop this
What that I’m feeling today
You turned us to stone
Now you’re gonna have to eat what you say
Cos we’re mindless, yeah we’re mindless
I’ve used every grain in my brain
Trying to get what you say
You had so many chances
Now the Devil he dances on your cheating ways
You turned sweet little angels
into poison looking for blood
Now we’re mindless, yeah we’re mindless
You look for someone to blame
yeah it’s always the same
With somebody like you
Nothing to say
Now you made it this way
What you put us all through
You turned sweet little angels
into poison looking for blood
Oh,we’re mindless, yeah we’re mindless
Now we’re mindless

Nobody But You lyrics - Chris Rea
I don’t like to be alone
I like a happy place
Any place that stops me feeling blue
Oh when my last drink is over
And gone
I’m wanting nobody but you
There’s a certain time each day
When the evening shadows fall
See them turning to the darkest violet blue
And my one and only picture
When I close my eyes
Nobody but you
Through the years nothing changes
And there’s so many that I knew
But every time it rearranges
There’s only one face
Comes shining through
Nobody but you
Through the years
Nothing changes
And there’s so many that I knew
But every time it rearranges
There’s only one face
Comes shining through
Nobody but you
I like a happy place
Any place that stops me feeling blue
Oh when my last drink is over
And gone
I’m wanting nobody but you
There’s a certain time each day
When the evening shadows fall
See them turning to the darkest violet blue
And my one and only picture
When I close my eyes
Nobody but you
Through the years nothing changes
And there’s so many that I knew
But every time it rearranges
There’s only one face
Comes shining through
Nobody but you
Through the years
Nothing changes
And there’s so many that I knew
But every time it rearranges
There’s only one face
Comes shining through
Nobody but you
Waiting For Love lyrics - Chris Rea
I saw an old soul
Out on the street
Certain kind of sad eyes
Seemed so strong and so deep
I say where are you going?
What do you do?
I need to find out
Why I’m so affected by you
A voice of an angel
Came from this battered soul
He said I’m waiting for love
Oh I’m waiting for love
There were tears in his eyes
All the different kind
So full of lies
But refusing to shine
They burned like a fire
Of what could have been
If only we’d looked
Maybe we could have seen
Voice of an angel
Came from this battered soul
He said I’m waiting for love
I’m waiting for love
Oh I’m waiting for love
Yeah, I’m waiting for love
Nobody knows, nobody cares
Everyone wants it
But nobody shares
I’m waiting for love
He said I’m waiting for love
Oh I’m waiting for love
Out on the street
Certain kind of sad eyes
Seemed so strong and so deep
I say where are you going?
What do you do?
I need to find out
Why I’m so affected by you
A voice of an angel
Came from this battered soul
He said I’m waiting for love
Oh I’m waiting for love
There were tears in his eyes
All the different kind
So full of lies
But refusing to shine
They burned like a fire
Of what could have been
If only we’d looked
Maybe we could have seen
Voice of an angel
Came from this battered soul
He said I’m waiting for love
I’m waiting for love
Oh I’m waiting for love
Yeah, I’m waiting for love
Nobody knows, nobody cares
Everyone wants it
But nobody shares
I’m waiting for love
He said I’m waiting for love
Oh I’m waiting for love
Blue Morning In The Rain lyrics - Chris Rea
Blue morning
In the rain
It’s that rainy day feeling again
I need some heat
I need a flame
Kick off those blue
Those blue mornings
In the rain
Blue morning
In the rain
Every time you go away
When you’re not here
It’s always the same
Blue morning
Blue morning in the rain
Come back as soon as you can
Make my morning sun shine again
Until you do
It’s all blue
Mornings in the rain
Blue morning in the rain
In the rain
It’s that rainy day feeling again
I need some heat
I need a flame
Kick off those blue
Those blue mornings
In the rain
Blue morning
In the rain
Every time you go away
When you’re not here
It’s always the same
Blue morning
Blue morning in the rain
Come back as soon as you can
Make my morning sun shine again
Until you do
It’s all blue
Mornings in the rain
Blue morning in the rain
The Beat Goes On lyrics - Chris Rea
See them talking on the corner
You'll see them every day
So many words, so many reasons
About the ship that sailed away
Was it somethingto do with bussines
What it love that done them wrong
Always somebody else to blame it seems,
For the half chance been and gone
The beat goes on,
I say the beat goes on
The beat goes on
See them drinking in the corners,
Be amazed at what they say
They've all got their tears and stories
About the big one that got away
There are always so many reasons
Why they misssed that place that day
Tales of woe and treason
About the ship that sail away
The beat goes on
Yeah, the beat goes on
And I see them everyday
Yeah, the beat goes on
You'll see them every day
So many words, so many reasons
About the ship that sailed away
Was it somethingto do with bussines
What it love that done them wrong
Always somebody else to blame it seems,
For the half chance been and gone
The beat goes on,
I say the beat goes on
The beat goes on
See them drinking in the corners,
Be amazed at what they say
They've all got their tears and stories
About the big one that got away
There are always so many reasons
Why they misssed that place that day
Tales of woe and treason
About the ship that sail away
The beat goes on
Yeah, the beat goes on
And I see them everyday
Yeah, the beat goes on
Long Is The Time, Hard Is The Road lyrics - Chris Rea
Big old snake o' red tail lights
Lookin' for a drain
Pretty red, like diamond bright
become your ball and chain
If you ever reach the other side,
it will never be this way
They tie you down with your own high hopes,
you better listen what I say
Long is the time, and hard is the road
Everybody lookin' for a place
to put down their heavy load
Fat cat screamin' up above
'cause he don't get no second chance
He's passing down his reckless fear
he kick your chains and make you dance
Dance around his daydream
'till he gets to fly away
you find a dagger in your back
you better listen what I say
Long is the time, and hard is the road
Everybody lookin' for a place
to put down their heavy load
Oh, long is the time and hard is the road
Hard is the road
[solo]
Oh, long is the time and hard is the road
Everybody lookin' for a place
to put down their heavy load
Long is the time, and hard is the road.
Lookin' for a drain
Pretty red, like diamond bright
become your ball and chain
If you ever reach the other side,
it will never be this way
They tie you down with your own high hopes,
you better listen what I say
Long is the time, and hard is the road
Everybody lookin' for a place
to put down their heavy load
Fat cat screamin' up above
'cause he don't get no second chance
He's passing down his reckless fear
he kick your chains and make you dance
Dance around his daydream
'till he gets to fly away
you find a dagger in your back
you better listen what I say
Long is the time, and hard is the road
Everybody lookin' for a place
to put down their heavy load
Oh, long is the time and hard is the road
Hard is the road
[solo]
Oh, long is the time and hard is the road
Everybody lookin' for a place
to put down their heavy load
Long is the time, and hard is the road.
Let's Do It lyrics - Chris Rea
We can't do it for the money,
They don't do cash no more
We can't do it because we do it so well
'Ain't nobody left to keep the score
They changed the rules
Made us look like fools
Send us lies from way above
Lets do it
Hear what I say
Lets do it
'Cos we're busted anyway
Let's do it, lets do it for the love
You've still got
your left hook
I've still got my jab
They're so dumb they never see it coming
We were the best they ever had
They slapped our faces with a belt of lies
Now you know what I'm thinking of
Let's do it... hear what I say
Let's do it... 'cos we're busted any way
Let's do it? lets do it for the love
Let's do it anyway?
You take the right, I'll take the left?
Let's do it.. let's do it for the love?
They don't do cash no more
We can't do it because we do it so well
'Ain't nobody left to keep the score
They changed the rules
Made us look like fools
Send us lies from way above
Lets do it
Hear what I say
Lets do it
'Cos we're busted anyway
Let's do it, lets do it for the love
You've still got
your left hook
I've still got my jab
They're so dumb they never see it coming
We were the best they ever had
They slapped our faces with a belt of lies
Now you know what I'm thinking of
Let's do it... hear what I say
Let's do it... 'cos we're busted any way
Let's do it? lets do it for the love
Let's do it anyway?
You take the right, I'll take the left?
Let's do it.. let's do it for the love?
Let It Roll lyrics - Chris Rea
I am the king of your darkest night
I am the prince of your fear
I will wrap your dreams into sandstorms
You'd better know this before you come near
There is no end
to what I've become now
Way past the cold sweat of losing control
I load it up
I put it down
I let it roll
I am the priest
of your bad luck
Long gone the blood has run free
Scar upon scar until the pain doesn't know
What's worth hurting inside
What is left of me
What you think
is brand new
I just threw it your way
What you think is too big
Is too small
I've forgotten much more than
You think that you'll ever know
There is no height that is too far to fall
You'd better go home lock up your soul
Or sit down and take it
Don't try to fake it
Load it up, load it down, let it roll
Let it roll, let it roll?.
Load it up, put
it down, let it roll
I am the prince of your fear
I will wrap your dreams into sandstorms
You'd better know this before you come near
There is no end
to what I've become now
Way past the cold sweat of losing control
I load it up
I put it down
I let it roll
I am the priest
of your bad luck
Long gone the blood has run free
Scar upon scar until the pain doesn't know
What's worth hurting inside
What is left of me
What you think
is brand new
I just threw it your way
What you think is too big
Is too small
I've forgotten much more than
You think that you'll ever know
There is no height that is too far to fall
You'd better go home lock up your soul
Or sit down and take it
Don't try to fake it
Load it up, load it down, let it roll
Let it roll, let it roll?.
Load it up, put
it down, let it roll
Steel River Blues lyrics - Chris Rea
Wherever I go, whatever I do
There'll always be a smile I knew
Upon the grey
How it lit the sky
As we dreamed our dreams
And let the young days go by
But there'd come a time
We used to say
We'd both have to part
Just to get away
But the reasons were the same for me and you
To try to kick away the fear we knew
Call them
Steel river blues
How the years went by
Too damn fast it seems
As we followed through
Our young and desperate dreams
You know me so well and I know you
And to the world it seems we both got through
But only you and me know
What is really true
The only thing we never got to do
Kick away
Those steel river blues
You know me so well and I know you
And to the world it seems we both got through
But only you and me know what is really true
The only thing we never got to do was
Kick away
Those steel river blues
There'll always be a smile I knew
Upon the grey
How it lit the sky
As we dreamed our dreams
And let the young days go by
But there'd come a time
We used to say
We'd both have to part
Just to get away
But the reasons were the same for me and you
To try to kick away the fear we knew
Call them
Steel river blues
How the years went by
Too damn fast it seems
As we followed through
Our young and desperate dreams
You know me so well and I know you
And to the world it seems we both got through
But only you and me know
What is really true
The only thing we never got to do
Kick away
Those steel river blues
You know me so well and I know you
And to the world it seems we both got through
But only you and me know what is really true
The only thing we never got to do was
Kick away
Those steel river blues
Somebody Say Amen lyrics - Chris Rea
There's a soft wind blowing through the sugar cane
And the pink fruit juice is melting
On a beach down sandy lane
And the Sunday school dresses sway
In sun-bleached harmony
Where the waves of green
Meet the waves of blue
And the preacher sets you free
It seems in prayers and money
You look for five to get you ten
Somebody say amen
Won't somebody say amen
I see the people without the money
Being peaceful with the lord
Yeah the church seems full of happiness
But the jet set's looking bored
They getting high without a penny here
They're finding peace without a dime
But the rain turns cold on the city streets
And the smiles are hard to find
Oh the pain of only wanting
For your five to get you ten
Somebody say amen
Won't somebody say amen
Amen
And the pink fruit juice is melting
On a beach down sandy lane
And the Sunday school dresses sway
In sun-bleached harmony
Where the waves of green
Meet the waves of blue
And the preacher sets you free
It seems in prayers and money
You look for five to get you ten
Somebody say amen
Won't somebody say amen
I see the people without the money
Being peaceful with the lord
Yeah the church seems full of happiness
But the jet set's looking bored
They getting high without a penny here
They're finding peace without a dime
But the rain turns cold on the city streets
And the smiles are hard to find
Oh the pain of only wanting
For your five to get you ten
Somebody say amen
Won't somebody say amen
Amen
Blue Street lyrics - Chris Rea
Take a walk down Blue Street,
Take a walk with me
There are no dreams on Blue Street
Just what came to me
Took your daydream to the dealer
You closed your eyes and kissed his feet
Was he an angel or the devil?
Gonna find out now
On Blue Street
Blue Street is where you go
When it's over past and gone
All alone here on Blue Street
No need to find out what went wrong
on the street
When you realize the fear you feel
Is coming from the inside of your own soul
When you find out you can't escape it
The only thing you can't control
Hey this is Blue street
There sure ain't no sunny side
Drop to the paving stones
'Cos there's nowhere you can hide
Yeah this is Blue Street
Yeah this is Blue Street
Oh this is Blue Street
yeah yeah
Take a walk with me
There are no dreams on Blue Street
Just what came to me
Took your daydream to the dealer
You closed your eyes and kissed his feet
Was he an angel or the devil?
Gonna find out now
On Blue Street
Blue Street is where you go
When it's over past and gone
All alone here on Blue Street
No need to find out what went wrong
on the street
When you realize the fear you feel
Is coming from the inside of your own soul
When you find out you can't escape it
The only thing you can't control
Hey this is Blue street
There sure ain't no sunny side
Drop to the paving stones
'Cos there's nowhere you can hide
Yeah this is Blue Street
Yeah this is Blue Street
Oh this is Blue Street
yeah yeah
Monday Morning lyrics - Chris Rea
Monday morning, see what you can do
Hit the freeway, take the grey and make it blue
My dream don't fight with daylight
It don't bleed for you
Keep your secret
'Til lucky Tuesday smiles for you
Hold on easy, don't you ever let him know
Monday morning,
When I get out
You ain't never gonna see me go
Monday morning, Monday morning
Don't make ambitions
That let Monday tie you down
Keep it simple
Keep it easy
Or for sure he'll bring you down
Stay cool, never Monday's fool,
Let him think you play the game
Leave Sunday
When the time is right
Oh and never see Monday again
Hold on easy, don't ever let him know
Monday morning, when I get out
You ain't never going to see me go
Oh, Monday morning, Monday morning...
Hit the freeway, take the grey and make it blue
My dream don't fight with daylight
It don't bleed for you
Keep your secret
'Til lucky Tuesday smiles for you
Hold on easy, don't you ever let him know
Monday morning,
When I get out
You ain't never gonna see me go
Monday morning, Monday morning
Don't make ambitions
That let Monday tie you down
Keep it simple
Keep it easy
Or for sure he'll bring you down
Stay cool, never Monday's fool,
Let him think you play the game
Leave Sunday
When the time is right
Oh and never see Monday again
Hold on easy, don't ever let him know
Monday morning, when I get out
You ain't never going to see me go
Oh, Monday morning, Monday morning...
Restless Soul lyrics - Chris Rea
Restless Soul
Beating like a drum
I need to know
Where she coming from
Everywhere I go she rides with me
This restless soul won't let me be
Oh restless soul
I call on the devil
I call on the saints
Tell me please
What do I push against?
I go down to the doctor
I say please give me some
Tell me where does this restless soul come from
Oh you've got to give me something
Got to take it away
'Cos it screams and it cries
And I fear what it says
Restless soul I say oh restless soul
Help this restless soul
Restless soul
Beating like a drum
I need to know
Where she coming from
Everywhere I go she rides with me
This restless soul won't let me be
Oh restless soul
I call on the devil
I call on the saints
Tell me please
What do I push against?
I go down to the doctor
I say please give me some
Tell me where does this restless soul come from
Oh you've got to give me something
Got to take it away
'Cos it screams and it cries
And I fear what it says
Restless soul I say oh restless soul
Help this restless soul
Restless soul
Paint My Jukebox Blue lyrics - Chris Rea
Since you've been gone
I've been wondering what to do
Maybe take the weekend out
The one I promised myself
I would always do
That place you said you never liked
Or would ever choose to go
Now this change has set me free
And I'm wondering what to do
Guess I'll paint my jukebox blue
I see some light in the distant sky
Its coming from
Where we used to be
The colours you made
From the smile that you gave
Or this freedom don't feel like its setting me free
Today I feel like the biggest fool
If freedom must be without you
Now I'm standing in that very place
And I'm wondering what to do
Guess I'll paint my jukebox, paint my jukebox,
Paint my jukebox blue
I've been wondering what to do
Maybe take the weekend out
The one I promised myself
I would always do
That place you said you never liked
Or would ever choose to go
Now this change has set me free
And I'm wondering what to do
Guess I'll paint my jukebox blue
I see some light in the distant sky
Its coming from
Where we used to be
The colours you made
From the smile that you gave
Or this freedom don't feel like its setting me free
Today I feel like the biggest fool
If freedom must be without you
Now I'm standing in that very place
And I'm wondering what to do
Guess I'll paint my jukebox, paint my jukebox,
Paint my jukebox blue
Baby Don't Cry lyrics - Chris Rea
The cold axe of bad love
Sure cut you down
There's nothing to hold on to now
In this part of town
Your heart has been broken
But hear what I say
Ain't nothing but a cold night
Bringing home a new day
I know what you're feeling
What you're going through
How much it must hurt you
Like nothing else do
Don't cry, baby don't cry, the worst is over
Don't cry, baby don't cry, the worst is gone
Hey little angel, oh hear what I say
The pain that you're feeling
I swear it won't stay
'Cos I got the wisdom
Of a thousand broken bones
And I'll be here with you
So you never be alone
Don't cry, baby don't cry, the worst is over
Don't cry, baby don't cry, the worst is gone
Sure cut you down
There's nothing to hold on to now
In this part of town
Your heart has been broken
But hear what I say
Ain't nothing but a cold night
Bringing home a new day
I know what you're feeling
What you're going through
How much it must hurt you
Like nothing else do
Don't cry, baby don't cry, the worst is over
Don't cry, baby don't cry, the worst is gone
Hey little angel, oh hear what I say
The pain that you're feeling
I swear it won't stay
'Cos I got the wisdom
Of a thousand broken bones
And I'll be here with you
So you never be alone
Don't cry, baby don't cry, the worst is over
Don't cry, baby don't cry, the worst is gone
Speed lyrics - Chris Rea
I got speed
I don't know where I'm going
But I've got everything I need
I got a picture
Trapped inside my head
How I think that it should be
Oh, I got speed
I got speed
But the man in the suit he won't let me
I got wheels
And the sound of them always sets me free
I got speed, I got speed
I don't know where I'm going
But I've got everything I need
I got a picture
Trapped inside my head
How I think that it should be
Oh, I got speed
I got speed
But the man in the suit he won't let me
I got wheels
And the sound of them always sets me free
I got speed, I got speed
Are You Ready lyrics - Chris Rea
And your life
Is blowing over
A little faster every day
Better stop for a while
And it think it over
Cos you know for sure
You lost your way
Does what's around you really matter?
is there something left undone?
A simple dream you left behind you
Now the truth has got you
Undone
Are you ready?
Oh tell me
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Is blowing over
A little faster every day
Better stop for a while
And it think it over
Cos you know for sure
You lost your way
Does what's around you really matter?
is there something left undone?
A simple dream you left behind you
Now the truth has got you
Undone
Are you ready?
Oh tell me
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Changing Times lyrics - Chris Rea
Changing times, changing rules
Make a wise man look a fool
Gone before no longer here
Look out for these signs of these
Changing rules
Better look out
You better look out
Look out for these changing times
Can't stop those changing times
Changing times
Cold hard rain
Everything's a changing
Nothin's going to be the same
You'd better look out
'Cos you can't stop these changing times
Nothin's going ever to be the same
You'd better look out
Look out for these changing times
Make a wise man look a fool
Gone before no longer here
Look out for these signs of these
Changing rules
Better look out
You better look out
Look out for these changing times
Can't stop those changing times
Changing times
Cold hard rain
Everything's a changing
Nothin's going to be the same
You'd better look out
'Cos you can't stop these changing times
Nothin's going ever to be the same
You'd better look out
Look out for these changing times
Easy Rider lyrics - Chris Rea
Well now come on easy rider
Give me something
For my pain
Well now come on easy rider
Though I know you're not to blame
The dogs are out to get me
And pull me down, again
Well now come on easy rider
Turn this screaming fire
Down low
Yeah come on easy rider
Pull this pain
And let it go
This time around
Don't think that I can take it
This twisting pain
I've come to know
Easy rider
Help me
Easy rider
Give me something
For my pain
Well now come on easy rider
Though I know you're not to blame
The dogs are out to get me
And pull me down, again
Well now come on easy rider

Down low
Yeah come on easy rider
Pull this pain
And let it go
This time around
Don't think that I can take it
This twisting pain
I've come to know
Easy rider
Help me
Easy rider
Stony Road lyrics - Chris Rea
This is the story
Oh this is the way
Gospel of reason
When the pain came to stay
The life of a loser
Who wins with a smile
The sinners redemption
In the tears of a child
Me & Katie
We go dancing down the stony road
See her laughing through the pain
Of such a heavy load
Me & Katie
We go dancing down the stony road
You're looking for sugar
To kill the grey
You're looking for the laughter
To take the pain away
God don't give nothing
No you got to steal your own smile
Learning to find it,
In the tears of the child
And me & Katie
We go dancing down the stony road
See her laughing through the pain
Of such a heavy load
Me & Katie
We go dancing down the stony road
Let's go dancing, let's go dancing
Dancing down that stony road
Oh this is the way
Gospel of reason
When the pain came to stay
The life of a loser
Who wins with a smile
The sinners redemption
In the tears of a child
Me & Katie
We go dancing down the stony road
See her laughing through the pain
Of such a heavy load
Me & Katie
We go dancing down the stony road
You're looking for sugar
To kill the grey
You're looking for the laughter
To take the pain away
God don't give nothing
No you got to steal your own smile
Learning to find it,
In the tears of the child
And me & Katie
We go dancing down the stony road
See her laughing through the pain
Of such a heavy load
Me & Katie
We go dancing down the stony road
Let's go dancing, let's go dancing
Dancing down that stony road
Dancing The Blues Away lyrics - Chris Rea
Beat up soul
Looking to find a smile
Ain't nobody here to give you the reason why
I need the wings of an angel
Need to find me a way to fly
Come on and dance with me baby
Dancing my blues away
Yeah dance with me baby
Dance 'til my blues can't stay
Come on and dance with me baby
Dancing my blues away
There is something worth knowing
Written behind those eyes
Well I've got tears by the truckload
Let's laugh 'til they all run dry
Let's steal the wings from those angels
And kiss what we know goodbye
Come on and dance with me baby
Dancing my blues away
Yeah dance with me baby
Dance 'til my blues can't stay
Come on and dance with me baby
Dancing my blues away
Looking to find a smile
Ain't nobody here to give you the reason why
I need the wings of an angel
Need to find me a way to fly
Come on and dance with me baby
Dancing my blues away
Yeah dance with me baby
Dance 'til my blues can't stay
Come on and dance with me baby
Dancing my blues away
There is something worth knowing
Written behind those eyes
Well I've got tears by the truckload
Let's laugh 'til they all run dry
Let's steal the wings from those angels
And kiss what we know goodbye
Come on and dance with me baby
Dancing my blues away
Yeah dance with me baby
Dance 'til my blues can't stay
Come on and dance with me baby
Dancing my blues away
Burning Feet lyrics - Chris Rea
No standing with these burning feet
I got to kill the the fire
Got to kill the heat
I see a road and a river
I gotta go
'cos there's fire in my shoes
And you're moving too slow
For these burning feet
I got to move
Burning feet
Need a cool groove
Burning feet
Win or lose
Looking to kill the heat
Oh these burning shoes
One day they'll find me in pieces,
By the side of the track
Smoke trail behind me,
Flames from my back
This is what made me,
Yeah how I was made
Forever, in the heat
And never in the shade
Of these burning feet
Burning feet
I got to move
Burning feet
Need a cool groove
Burning feet
Win or lose
Looking to kill the heat
Oh these burning shoes
I got to kill the the fire
Got to kill the heat
I see a road and a river
I gotta go
'cos there's fire in my shoes
And you're moving too slow
For these burning feet
I got to move
Burning feet
Need a cool groove
Burning feet
Win or lose
Looking to kill the heat
Oh these burning shoes
One day they'll find me in pieces,
By the side of the track
Smoke trail behind me,
Flames from my back
This is what made me,
Yeah how I was made
Forever, in the heat
And never in the shade
Of these burning feet
Burning feet
I got to move
Burning feet
Need a cool groove
Burning feet
Win or lose
Looking to kill the heat
Oh these burning shoes
Mississippi 2 lyrics - Chris Rea
Nashville sky
In a morning sun
Somewhere up north
A new life begun
He was drawn to the twister
With a Memphis sound
Kissed by an angel
Of a music town
Jump a train from Chicago
Trace it back
With the neck of a bottle
And the groove of the tracks
Spend your life running
That angels sweet sound
Chasing the ghosts
Of a faraway town
Oh Mississippi
Running through my veins
Oh Mississippi
Never the same again
In a morning sun
Somewhere up north
A new life begun
He was drawn to the twister
With a Memphis sound
Kissed by an angel
Of a music town
Jump a train from Chicago
Trace it back
With the neck of a bottle
And the groove of the tracks
Spend your life running
That angels sweet sound
Chasing the ghosts
Of a faraway town
Oh Mississippi
Running through my veins
Oh Mississippi
Never the same again
Slow Dance lyrics - Chris Rea
Well I screamed at mama,
What's that stuff going on
Yeah I screamed at mama
Where did that feeling come from
She said son I don't know what it is
But I know that's where you belong
Mama looked at me,
She smiled me a sunny day
Yeah mama looked at me
Took all my fear away
She said son now I know for sure
What you gonna do one day
It's a slow dance,
Dance of the rythym and blues
It's a slow dance,
Dance of the rythym and blues
Now I screamed at mama,
Mama tell me where did you go
Yeah I screamed for my mama,
Mama tells me what you come to know
I was born with this feeling
And it ain't going to let me go
It's a slow dance,
Dance of the rythym and blues
It's a slow dance,
Dance of the rythym and blues
What's that stuff going on
Yeah I screamed at mama
Where did that feeling come from
She said son I don't know what it is
But I know that's where you belong
Mama looked at me,
She smiled me a sunny day
Yeah mama looked at me
Took all my fear away
She said son now I know for sure
What you gonna do one day
It's a slow dance,
Dance of the rythym and blues
It's a slow dance,
Dance of the rythym and blues
Now I screamed at mama,
Mama tell me where did you go
Yeah I screamed for my mama,
Mama tells me what you come to know
I was born with this feeling
And it ain't going to let me go
It's a slow dance,
Dance of the rythym and blues
It's a slow dance,
Dance of the rythym and blues
When The Good Lord Talked To Jesus lyrics - Chris Rea
See me moving without warning.
Fast as mt legs can run
and I'm hanging by a thin wire,
been that way since I was young
Only the good Lord got his reasons,
for turning on his own son.
And he beat up on me real bad.
Bad as a dog can be
He took every smile that I had
And he threw it all back at me
Only the good Lord got his reasons,
Make yo cry until your eyes can't see
Well he burned down all that I had
And he left me beat and blind
Oh he dealt me pain and sorrow
And every fear that he could find
When the good Lord talked to Jesus
Guess I ain't what he had in mind
Oh when the good Lord talked to Jesus
I guess I ain't what he had in mind
Fast as mt legs can run
and I'm hanging by a thin wire,
been that way since I was young
Only the good Lord got his reasons,
for turning on his own son.
And he beat up on me real bad.
Bad as a dog can be
He took every smile that I had
And he threw it all back at me
Only the good Lord got his reasons,
Make yo cry until your eyes can't see
Well he burned down all that I had
And he left me beat and blind
Oh he dealt me pain and sorrow
And every fear that he could find
When the good Lord talked to Jesus
Guess I ain't what he had in mind
Oh when the good Lord talked to Jesus
I guess I ain't what he had in mind
Heading For The City lyrics - Chris Rea
All my friends packing up,
Loading up their Volvo's
And their pick up trucks
Going down the road,
To try their luck
So spin that dream,
Go heading for the city
Roll that dice,
Say a prayer,
Light a candle for me
When you get there,
Win or lose,
We're heading for the city
Well I got a problem hear what I say
They're telling me I got to move away
I was happy here,
They tell me I can't stay
Now whats screaming rain is heading this way
For those who sleep and choose to stay
The game they didn't know
They had to play
So win or lose
We're heading for the city
So roll that dice
Say a prayer
Light a candle for me
When you get there,
Win or lose,
We're heading for the city
Loading up their Volvo's
And their pick up trucks
Going down the road,
To try their luck
So spin that dream,
Go heading for the city
Roll that dice,
Say a prayer,
Light a candle for me
When you get there,
Win or lose,
We're heading for the city
Well I got a problem hear what I say
They're telling me I got to move away
I was happy here,
They tell me I can't stay
Now whats screaming rain is heading this way
For those who sleep and choose to stay
The game they didn't know
They had to play
So win or lose
We're heading for the city
So roll that dice
Say a prayer
Light a candle for me
When you get there,
Win or lose,
We're heading for the city
Someday My Peace Will Come lyrics - Chris Rea
Someday
My peace will come
Oh I know
My peace will come
I will sleep like a child without pain
Without fear
Like a smile in the afternoon sun
Oh someday
My peace will come
Lord can you hear me
Oh I know you know my name
It's written in the tears
That flow from my pain
Broken hearted broken soul
All my life on the run
But someday
Yeah someday
My peace will come
Someday
My peace will come
My peace will come
Oh I know
My peace will come
I will sleep like a child without pain
Without fear
Like a smile in the afternoon sun
Oh someday
My peace will come
Lord can you hear me
Oh I know you know my name
It's written in the tears
That flow from my pain
Broken hearted broken soul
All my life on the run
But someday
Yeah someday
My peace will come
Someday
My peace will come
The Hustler lyrics - Chris Rea
Time to get up
Make a move
Put the brain in gear
Cut the groove
Moving slow
With a smiling face
Never look like you want it
'Til it's right in your face
I'm the hustler
Playing my favourite game
Yeah I'm the hustler
Everybody knows my name
Well I can get all around you
While I think you stand still
The way you tell me you won't
Let's me know that you will
Last thing you tell them
Is what you came here for
The're never going to find out
'Til you way out the door
'Cos I'm the hustler
Playing my favourite game
Yeah I'm the hustler
Everybody knows my name
You got to love the work you do
How long it takes
Ain't important to you
Don't care whats in it
Loving every minute
Every minute, every hour
Every second of the day
Little by little
I see it coming my way
I'm the hustler
Playing my favourite game
Yeah I'm the hustler
Everybody knows my name
Make a move
Put the brain in gear
Cut the groove
Moving slow
With a smiling face
Never look like you want it
'Til it's right in your face
I'm the hustler
Playing my favourite game
Yeah I'm the hustler
Everybody knows my name
Well I can get all around you
While I think you stand still
The way you tell me you won't
Let's me know that you will
Last thing you tell them

Little by little
I see it coming my way
I'm the hustler
Playing my favourite game
Yeah I'm the hustler
Everybody knows my name
Give That Girl A Diamond lyrics - Chris Rea
Time to get up
She shines her light where just before
There was only
A cold wind blowing
She understands what makes me smile
And lets me know that
Without showing
I need to tell her, need to show her
How deep she goes
Inside of me
She is the stone that breaks the hard shell
And rings out the loudest bell
With whispered words that scream out
All the peace in me
Give that girl a diamond
Yeah give that girl a diamond
And say it's from me
A blue reflected light
Way past the darkest place
My only private night
Of fearful dreams
She is stone that stabs my shield of steel
The peace that she makes me feel
With whispered words
I need to tell her
Need to show her
How deep she goes
Inside of me
Give that girl a diamond
Give that girl a diamond
And say it's from me
She shines her light where just before
There was only
A cold wind blowing
She understands what makes me smile
And lets me know that
Without showing
I need to tell her, need to show her
How deep she goes
Inside of me
She is the stone that breaks the hard shell
And rings out the loudest bell
With whispered words that scream out
All the peace in me
Give that girl a diamond
Yeah give that girl a diamond
And say it's from me
A blue reflected light
Way past the darkest place
My only private night
Of fearful dreams
She is stone that stabs my shield of steel
The peace that she makes me feel
With whispered words
I need to tell her
Need to show her
How deep she goes
Inside of me
Give that girl a diamond
Give that girl a diamond
And say it's from me

King Of The Beach lyrics - Chris Rea
Let your fighting scars heal in the sun
of a bright windy day
Let your cold blades sleep in the sand
till it's rusted away
Washed each night in the waves
while you sleep away each memory
And you wake to find yourself
a new king to be
Away from the dark
moving into the light
King of the shadows
gives up on the fight
He kicks of them shoes
throws them away
There's nobody here now
except this salty blue day
Out of sight
Out of reach
He's king of the beach
Whatever I was
well I'm not that now
I tell you because
it may help you somehow
So kick of them shoes
and throw them away
Cause there's nobody here now
except this salty blue day
of a bright windy day
Let your cold blades sleep in the sand
till it's rusted away
Washed each night in the waves
while you sleep away each memory
And you wake to find yourself
a new king to be
Away from the dark
moving into the light
King of the shadows
gives up on the fight
He kicks of them shoes
throws them away
There's nobody here now
except this salty blue day
Out of sight
Out of reach
He's king of the beach
Whatever I was
well I'm not that now
I tell you because
it may help you somehow
So kick of them shoes
and throw them away
Cause there's nobody here now
except this salty blue day
Sail Away lyrics - Chris Rea
Walk a cold thin line
in the morning
Hold the fear inside
that greets you with the day
I can't go with you now
I can only watch you now
As you sail away
Sail away
I'm going to miss you now
So much more then I realised
There's a heavy stone of empty
where you once lay
I can't go with you now
I can only watch you now
Watch you
As you sail away
Sail away
I know you need your freedom
Sail away
Cause without it you can't survive
Be on your way
disappear into the distance
I smile and say
Sail away
I can't go with you now
I can only watch you now
Watch you
As you sail away
in the morning
Hold the fear inside
that greets you with the day
I can't go with you now
I can only watch you now
As you sail away
Sail away
I'm going to miss you now
So much more then I realised
There's a heavy stone of empty
where you once lay
I can't go with you now
I can only watch you now
Watch you
As you sail away
Sail away
I know you need your freedom
Sail away
Cause without it you can't survive
Be on your way
disappear into the distance
I smile and say
Sail away
I can't go with you now
I can only watch you now
Watch you
As you sail away
Still Beautiful lyrics - Chris Rea
I see a million torn up moments
of the rarest happiness
Each one a dancing snowflake
A piece of memory
It's the ghost of days gone by
Lay them tight across this old town
In the silence of your smiling face
You move to me
And you are still beautiful
You are still beautiful
In this cold white night
Still shining bright
Still beautiful
Regrets the cold wind that I know
and it will not let me be
and hopes your smiling face
can still can set me free
And you are still beautiful
You are still beautiful
In this cold white night
Still shining bright
Still beautiful
of the rarest happiness
Each one a dancing snowflake
A piece of memory
It's the ghost of days gone by
Lay them tight across this old town
In the silence of your smiling face
You move to me
And you are still beautiful
You are still beautiful
In this cold white night
Still shining bright
Still beautiful
Regrets the cold wind that I know
and it will not let me be
and hopes your smiling face
can still can set me free
And you are still beautiful
You are still beautiful
In this cold white night
Still shining bright
Still beautiful
The Bones Of Angels lyrics - Chris Rea
Long shadows
Bright light
That falls to the front
From a darkness behind
There is no end
To this mountain top
Inside these stones
Only peace will we find
Inside out
We're all part of the stone
That makes up the mountain
And harbours the bones
The bones of angels
That showed us the way
You can feel them at night
While they sleep through the day
The bones of angels
The bones of angels
Together we will be
Forever we will see
I see you
And I see me
And the bones of angels
Bright light
That falls to the front
From a darkness behind
There is no end
To this mountain top
Inside these stones
Only peace will we find
Inside out
We're all part of the stone
That makes up the mountain
And harbours the bones
The bones of angels
That showed us the way
You can feel them at night
While they sleep through the day
The bones of angels
The bones of angels
Together we will be
Forever we will see
I see you
And I see me
And the bones of angels
Guitar Street lyrics - Chris Rea
There's a crazy sense of duty
As he licks between his fingers
Wipes the ketchup from his face and hands
There's a strong determination
That his teachers never witnessed
Never close enough to understand
He's like a bull just bred for fighting
He don't deliver nothing
Outside the only thing that he knows
School report just says he's lazy
His brother says he's crazy
But take a look 'cos there he goes
Through the avenues of fashion
To the palaces of dreams
All the way down Guitar Street
To some guitars are hot-rods
All along the quest for macho
To others a would-be ticket out of town
For Joe a six-string sten gun
In the 'Panto-revolution'
And Stevie's all just strictly sound
He's like a bull just bred for fighting
He don't deliver nothing
Outside the only thing that he knows
School report just says he's lazy
His brother says he's crazy
But anyway take a look 'cos there he goes
Through the avenues of fashion
To the palaces of dreams
All the way down Guitar Street
As he licks between his fingers
Wipes the ketchup from his face and hands
There's a strong determination
That his teachers never witnessed
Never close enough to understand
He's like a bull just bred for fighting
He don't deliver nothing
Outside the only thing that he knows
School report just says he's lazy
His brother says he's crazy
But take a look 'cos there he goes
Through the avenues of fashion
To the palaces of dreams
All the way down Guitar Street
To some guitars are hot-rods
All along the quest for macho
To others a would-be ticket out of town
For Joe a six-string sten gun
In the 'Panto-revolution'
And Stevie's all just strictly sound
He's like a bull just bred for fighting
He don't deliver nothing
Outside the only thing that he knows
School report just says he's lazy
His brother says he's crazy
But anyway take a look 'cos there he goes
Through the avenues of fashion

Who Do You Love lyrics - Chris Rea
How does it feel
now that you know
What makes it work
how far it can go
Your innocent dream
didn't know how to play
the game that was needed
and now I hear it say
Who do you love
Who do you really love
What are you thinking of
at the end of the day
What do you want
What do you really want
There's no question you are
and somehow save the day
and all those who don't really know
See a bright sunny day
but the glory that shone
like sweet summer rain
It rolls off you and dissapates
Just as fast as it came
now that you know
What makes it work
how far it can go
Your innocent dream
didn't know how to play
the game that was needed
and now I hear it say
Who do you love
Who do you really love
What are you thinking of
at the end of the day
What do you want
What do you really want
There's no question you are
and somehow save the day
and all those who don't really know
See a bright sunny day
but the glory that shone
like sweet summer rain
It rolls off you and dissapates
Just as fast as it came
The Memory Of A Good Friend lyrics - Chris Rea
I love the sun
I love the sea
I'd like to think that you
were here with me
But people are seasons
and seasons change
I'd like to think that you
are still the same
Sometimes you made me happy
Sometimes you made me cry
But the memory of a good friend
never dies
Between the lines
of an aging face
something special that you can't replace
But people are seasons
and seasons change
I'd like to think that you
are still the same
Sometimes you made me happy
Sometimes you made me cry
But the memory of a good friend
never dies
And I see you standing
by the harbour wall
And I see you waving
from the aeroplane
Two hearts together
laughing in the rain
I love the sea
I'd like to think that you
were here with me
But people are seasons
and seasons change
I'd like to think that you
are still the same
Sometimes you made me happy
Sometimes you made me cry
But the memory of a good friend
never dies
Between the lines
of an aging face
something special that you can't replace
But people are seasons
and seasons change
I'd like to think that you
are still the same
Sometimes you made me happy
Sometimes you made me cry
But the memory of a good friend
never dies
And I see you standing
by the harbour wall
And I see you waving
from the aeroplane
Two hearts together
laughing in the rain
Sandwriting lyrics - Chris Rea
Sandwriting
Leave your name and
Let the wind
And high tide
Take it away
Each white gold grain
That made up your name
Take it away
Sandwriting
Write your lover's monogram
Upon the cool damp
White gold grain
say this is who I am
Yes this is all you are my friend
Some shapes upon the sand
Of white gold grain
Washed and blown away
With the memory of your name
Take it away
Go tell the story
To the wind and sea
What ever became of you and me
Each letter of love
That had its golden day
A love song
Without goodbye
Take it away
Sandwriting
Leave your name and
Let the wind
And high tide
Take it away
Each white gold grain
That made up your name
Take it away
Sandwriting
Write your lover's monogram
Upon the cool damp
White gold grain
say this is who I am
Yes this is all you are my friend
Some shapes upon the sand
Of white gold grain
Washed and blown away
With the memory of your name
Take it away
Go tell the story
To the wind and sea
What ever became of you and me
Each letter of love
That had its golden day
A love song
Without goodbye
Take it away
Sandwriting
Tamatave lyrics - Chris Rea
Je veux sentir le sable
Entre mes doigts de pieds
Tamatave ma petite rouquine
Elle la sait
Long grass dancing in the day
Blue sky palm trees gently sway
I come from a land down in sun
Sit on the beach and watch the waves run
I need the sand between my toes
Tamatave my red hair girl she knows
Tamatave je t'entends m'appeler
Tamatave je t'entends m'appeler
Tommasina I hear you calling me
Tamatave je t'entends m'appeler
I feel so strange on city streets
I got these big shoes on my feet
I come from a land down in sun
Sit on the beach and watch the waves run
Tamatave je ton ton mapelay
Tamatave je ton ton mapelay
Tommasina I hear you calling me
Tamatave je ton ton mapelay
Entre mes doigts de pieds
Tamatave ma petite rouquine
Elle la sait
Long grass dancing in the day
Blue sky palm trees gently sway
I come from a land down in sun
Sit on the beach and watch the waves run
I need the sand between my toes
Tamatave my red hair girl she knows
Tamatave je t'entends m'appeler
Tamatave je t'entends m'appeler
Tommasina I hear you calling me
Tamatave je t'entends m'appeler
I feel so strange on city streets
I got these big shoes on my feet
I come from a land down in sun
Sit on the beach and watch the waves run
Tamatave je ton ton mapelay
Tamatave je ton ton mapelay
Tommasina I hear you calling me
Tamatave je ton ton mapelay
God Gave Me An Angel lyrics - Chris Rea
I was never born with the face of a movie star
I was never blessed with an easy load along the way
I have taken the wrong turning
So many times I can't remember
But one thing I have for sure
I can always smile and say
God gave me an angel with a smiling face
God gave me an angel this I know
My churches are all empty and I'm guilty every day
But god gave me an angel anyway
Talk of being good and what became of me
Do I hide my head in shame and turn away
I have taken the wrong turning
So many times I can't remember
But one thing I have for sure
I can always smile and say
But God gave me an angel with a smiling face
God gave me an angel this I know
My churches are all empty and I'm guilty every day
But god gave me an angel anyway
I was never blessed with an easy load along the way
I have taken the wrong turning
So many times I can't remember
But one thing I have for sure
I can always smile and say
God gave me an angel with a smiling face
God gave me an angel this I know
My churches are all empty and I'm guilty every day
But god gave me an angel anyway
Talk of being good and what became of me
Do I hide my head in shame and turn away
I have taken the wrong turning
So many times I can't remember
But one thing I have for sure
I can always smile and say
But God gave me an angel with a smiling face
God gave me an angel this I know
My churches are all empty and I'm guilty every day
But god gave me an angel anyway
Waiting For A Blue Sky lyrics - Chris Rea
He sits upon the empty sand
and gazes up to the endless grey
The weathered face
and battered hands
Protest the soul
that carried them so far this way
The beaten skin
is turning to a wrinkled smile
And his eyes light up
and give his soul away
He said, I'm waiting for a blue sky
I am waiting for a bright day
I'll be there thru the wind and rain
Don't care what anybody says
I'm waiting for a morning bright
that fills the day with all its clean bright light
I'm waiting for a blue sky
I'm waiting for a blue sky
I'm waiting for a bright day
I'll be there thru the wind and rain
Don't care what anyone else says
I'm waiting for a morning bright
that fills the day with all its clean bright light
I'm waiting for a blue sky
and gazes up to the endless grey
The weathered face
and battered hands
Protest the soul
that carried them so far this way
The beaten skin
is turning to a wrinkled smile
And his eyes light up
and give his soul away
He said, I'm waiting for a blue sky
I am waiting for a bright day
I'll be there thru the wind and rain
Don't care what anybody says
I'm waiting for a morning bright
that fills the day with all its clean bright light
I'm waiting for a blue sky
I'm waiting for a blue sky
I'm waiting for a bright day
I'll be there thru the wind and rain
Don't care what anyone else says
I'm waiting for a morning bright
that fills the day with all its clean bright light
I'm waiting for a blue sky
Mississippi lyrics - Chris Rea
Nashville sky, in the morning sun
Somewhere up north, a new life begun
He was drawn to the twister, with a Memphis sound
Kissed by an Angel, of a music town.
Jump a train from Chicago, trace it back
With the neck of a bottle, and the groove of the tracks
Spend your life running, that Angels sweet sound
Chasing the ghosts, of a faraway town.
Oh Mississippi, running through my veins
Oh Mississippi, never the same again.
Somewhere up north, a new life begun
He was drawn to the twister, with a Memphis sound
Kissed by an Angel, of a music town.
Jump a train from Chicago, trace it back
With the neck of a bottle, and the groove of the tracks
Spend your life running, that Angels sweet sound
Chasing the ghosts, of a faraway town.
Oh Mississippi, running through my veins
Oh Mississippi, never the same again.
Can't Get Through lyrics - Chris Rea
Radio speaker - radio bleep
Put it on hard disc -
See it on your pc
Everybody moving - cos
their so afraid of losing
You gotta pull the straps
Till it can't fight back
Say you gotta pull straps
Till it can't fight back
Press it down, press it down
What's going on,
Oh what's going on
There was a time,
When all I could see
was a sun in the sky
There was a place I knew where we
We used to run, run with
the wind in our faces
I look to the left, I look to the right
Can't get through
Press it down, I can't get through
Look to the left, I look to the right
I can't get through
I can't get through
I can't get through
Radio play, radio scream
Coming up through
All the crap on my windscreen
I can't get through
I can't go back
Laugh (too scared)
I might have a heart attack
I say I might have a heart attack
I can't get through
I can't get through
Put it on hard disc -
See it on your pc
Everybody moving - cos
their so afraid of losing
You gotta pull the straps
Till it can't fight back
Say you gotta pull straps
Till it can't fight back
Press it down, press it down
What's going on,
Oh what's going on
There was a time,
When all I could see
was a sun in the sky
There was a place I knew where we
We used to run, run with
the wind in our faces
I look to the left, I look to the right
Can't get through
Press it down, I can't get through
Look to the left, I look to the right
I can't get through
I can't get through
I can't get through
Radio play, radio scream
Coming up through
All the crap on my windscreen
I can't get through
I can't go back
Laugh (too scared)
I might have a heart attack
I say I might have a heart attack
I can't get through
I can't get through
Good Morning lyrics - Chris Rea
Good morning. Good morning
I feel so good, I feel so good today
Do you know, I feel so good,
So good today
I won't let nothing get in my way
Good morning. Good morning
I feel so good, I feel so good today
Do you know, I feel so good,
So good today
I won't let nothing get in my way
Good morning. Good morning
E lyrics - Chris Rea
E is for the comfort,
You give to me
E is for the peace, I feel inside
E is for the good times
That go against the bad times
E is for the world you gave us
And left us here behind
They say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Let's talk about it
E is for the reason
To live through urban grey
E is for the warm glow,
That takes the fear away
Show us what is better
Why don't you stand inside
these shoes
Oh live with me each Monday...
Let's see what you would do...
Which world do you live in?
Which world did you choose?
Hiding the tears, that's all
No win
No lose
They say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Let's talk about it
You give to me
E is for the peace, I feel inside
E is for the good times
That go against the bad times
E is for the world you gave us
And left us here behind
They say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Let's talk about it
E is for the reason
To live through urban grey
E is for the warm glow,
That takes the fear away
Show us what is better
Why don't you stand inside
these shoes
Oh live with me each Monday...
Let's see what you would do...
Which world do you live in?
Which world did you choose?
Hiding the tears, that's all
No win
No lose
They say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Let's talk about it
Last Open Road lyrics - Chris Rea
How fast can I run?
How far can I go?
These are the questions,
The young want to know
I met her in Brooklyn,
She was coming from a place
I said "where are you going to"?
She said "where have you been"?
'Cos I'm trapped in here,
Set me free
I know your world let me see
Take me down that last open road
Take me down that last open road
Take me down that last open road
I know there is so much past
this place
I see it smile on your jagged,
ragged face
Something tells me,
something strong
There's a world I've heard of,
So before it's gone
Take me down that last open road
Take me down that last open road
How far can I go?
These are the questions,
The young want to know
I met her in Brooklyn,
She was coming from a place
I said "where are you going to"?
She said "where have you been"?
'Cos I'm trapped in here,
Set me free
I know your world let me see
Take me down that last open road
Take me down that last open road
Take me down that last open road
I know there is so much past
this place
I see it smile on your jagged,
ragged face
Something tells me,
something strong
There's a world I've heard of,
So before it's gone
Take me down that last open road
Take me down that last open road
Coming Off The Ropes lyrics - Chris Rea
I'm coming off the ropes
(he's going down)
He thinks I'm beat
I'm coming off the ropes yea
This ain't no retreat
He thinks I'm going down
For sure my head is spinning round
When I straighten up
But I'm going to knock him off his feet!
(Wow suckerpunch!)
I'm coming off the ropes
(he's going down)
Yes I'm coming off the ropes
I'm coming off the ropes
He made me angry now
I only need to straighten up
I'm going to show him how
I can hear someone count to ten
Seems like a lifetime,
But I'll tell you when
I know I'm safe down here
So till then, must have been
a lucky swing
Two years ago,
I would have not let him in
I'm coming off the ropes
(he's going down)
(he's going down)
He thinks I'm beat
I'm coming off the ropes yea
This ain't no retreat
He thinks I'm going down
For sure my head is spinning round
When I straighten up
But I'm going to knock him off his feet!
(Wow suckerpunch!)
I'm coming off the ropes
(he's going down)
Yes I'm coming off the ropes
I'm coming off the ropes
He made me angry now
I only need to straighten up
I'm going to show him how
I can hear someone count to ten
Seems like a lifetime,
But I'll tell you when
I know I'm safe down here
So till then, must have been
a lucky swing
Two years ago,
I would have not let him in
I'm coming off the ropes
(he's going down)
Evil No. 2 lyrics - Chris Rea
They call me love
They call me dear
They kiss off and leave me
For their own career
I got a satellite dish, I'm all alone
With my little goldfish
And eminem, em on my headphones
You heard that yet? You will!
Selfish pigs put the blame on me
So hacked off what I came to be
I'm off the tracks
Now I'm all at sea
They like jogging more than they like me
I'm evil
Evil no.2
Then need to have something,
Becomes the seed to have anything
The lonely tears have dried up
And the brain cells start to fry
My heart cries out for new things
Turns to anything will do things
My left sides like a train crash
Form all the things I tried
I was so scared
I was lonely
I got mixed up
Now I'm only
I'm evil
Evil no.2
Mummy and daddy's on prozac
Said they're happy but
They won't be back
I hope they have a heart attack
'Cos of what they done to me
They left me for a wine bar
They left me for the wrong car
I dunno how I got this far
I'm evil
Evil no.2
Eminem ain't so far away from this
Mummy got a boyfriend
Daddy got a girlfriend
Gotta go away at weekends
I tell you what I'll do
Take every pill that I see
You can do what you want to me
I'm only trying to break free
From the evil that you do
I'm evil
Evil no.2
They call me dear
They kiss off and leave me
For their own career
I got a satellite dish, I'm all alone
With my little goldfish
And eminem, em on my headphones
You heard that yet? You will!
Selfish pigs put the blame on me
So hacked off what I came to be
I'm off the tracks
Now I'm all at sea
They like jogging more than they like me
I'm evil
Evil no.2
Then need to have something,
Becomes the seed to have anything
The lonely tears have dried up
And the brain cells start to fry
My heart cries out for new things
Turns to anything will do things
My left sides like a train crash
Form all the things I tried
I was so scared
I was lonely
I got mixed up
Now I'm only
I'm evil
Evil no.2
Mummy and daddy's on prozac
Said they're happy but
They won't be back
I hope they have a heart attack
'Cos of what they done to me
They left me for a wine bar
They left me for the wrong car
I dunno how I got this far
I'm evil
Evil no.2
Eminem ain't so far away from this
Mummy got a boyfriend

Gotta go away at weekends
I tell you what I'll do
Take every pill that I see
You can do what you want to me
I'm only trying to break free
From the evil that you do
I'm evil

Keep On Dancing lyrics - Chris Rea
I got a friend who loves the music
He got a red hot groove
But he don't use it
I get so afraid, he's gonna lose it
If you gotta gift - man, don't abuse it
Keep on dancing
The experts say they really care
They don't have a clue what's out there
The teachers tell the children not to swear
And the drunken lawyes
Leaves the kid
To pop something in
To kill the fear... it's not fair
Keep on dancing
I'm a frightened Dad, worried sick
Hear what I say?
I could put something in here
You know what rhymes with it
The whole world seems to end
In c.k.e.d
You ain't fooling me anyway
Keep on dancing
Are you ready here comes
Steve Gadd
Keep on dancing
See em run for the books, cos
They just don't get it
They throw it at me
But I've already read it
Before they speak,
Some-one already said it
We can't be friends
Cos Karl Marx don't rhyme
With Mercedez-Benz
I need credit
You can shove it
You know why?
'Cos I love it!
Keep on dancing
He got a red hot groove
But he don't use it
I get so afraid, he's gonna lose it
If you gotta gift - man, don't abuse it
Keep on dancing
The experts say they really care
They don't have a clue what's out there
The teachers tell the children not to swear
And the drunken lawyes
Leaves the kid
To pop something in
To kill the fear... it's not fair
Keep on dancing
I'm a frightened Dad, worried sick
Hear what I say?
I could put something in here
You know what rhymes with it
The whole world seems to end
In c.k.e.d
You ain't fooling me anyway
Keep on dancing
Are you ready here comes
Steve Gadd
Keep on dancing
See em run for the books, cos
They just don't get it
They throw it at me
But I've already read it
Before they speak,
Some-one already said it
We can't be friends
Cos Karl Marx don't rhyme
With Mercedez-Benz
I need credit
You can shove it
You know why?
'Cos I love it!
Keep on dancing
Marvin lyrics - Chris Rea
Oh Marvin,
Seems so long
But I still remember you
I would have given everything
If I could have talked to you
For just one small moment
In the quiet of the day
You took my pain away
Oh Marvin
The one who wanted,
The one that could not stay
With a flash of illusion
Oh the big one that got away
Just one small moment
In the quiet of the day
You took my pain away
Oh Marvin
Oh Marvin
Oh how we miss you
Oh how we wish somehow
I could hold onto your wings
And fly away
Because the pain you knew
Was the pain I knew too
Misunderstood like the
thorn of a rose
Before the summer came,
Your beauty washed away
Like pretty petals in the wind and rain
Seems so long
But I still remember you
I would have given everything
If I could have talked to you
For just one small moment
In the quiet of the day
You took my pain away
Oh Marvin
The one who wanted,
The one that could not stay
With a flash of illusion
Oh the big one that got away
Just one small moment
In the quiet of the day
You took my pain away
Oh Marvin
Oh Marvin
Oh how we miss you
Oh how we wish somehow
I could hold onto your wings
And fly away
Because the pain you knew
Was the pain I knew too
Misunderstood like the
thorn of a rose
Before the summer came,
Your beauty washed away
Like pretty petals in the wind and rain
Firefly lyrics - Chris Rea
Go to that secret place
Inside your soul
Go to its deepest place
Only you and I know
Can you see her?
There she is still shining bright
When the sun goes down
See her crimson glow through
the darkest of nights
She smiles and says
Everything is alright
There will never be goodbye
While we still see the firefly
The firefly
She smiles and says
Everything is alright
There will never be goodbye
While we still see the firefly
There will never be goodbye
While we still see the firefly
Inside your soul
Go to its deepest place
Only you and I know
Can you see her?
There she is still shining bright
When the sun goes down
See her crimson glow through
the darkest of nights
She smiles and says
Everything is alright
There will never be goodbye
While we still see the firefly
The firefly
She smiles and says
Everything is alright
There will never be goodbye
While we still see the firefly
There will never be goodbye
While we still see the firefly
I'm In My Car lyrics - Chris Rea
I'm in my car
I got my telephones and radio
This is my home
I have learnt to love and live
The only way I know
And I don't want to change a thing
This is my world you are sitting in
I got a fax so I press send
Send a message to my DJ
A message to my DJ
'Cos he's my best friend
I'm in my car
And I am happy here
Even though the fools will never know
I got peace in here
My private world and endless
Stop and go
And I don't want to change a thing
This is my world you are sitting in
I got a fax so I press send
Send a message to my DJ
A message to my DJ
'Cos he's my best friend
I'm in my car
Safe from my boss
Safe from all the gumbos
That I hate so much
Its not G.T.
Its not all about you think
That you may see
Oh it's not about what you think
You see
I'm safe from my family. ..
I'm safe
I'm safe
I'm in my car
I'm happy here
I'm in my car
I got my telephones and radio

And I don't want to change a thing
This is my world you are sitting in
I got a fax so I press send
Send a message to my DJ
A message to my DJ
'Cos he's my best friend
I'm in my car
And I am happy here
Even though the fools will never know
I got peace in here

Stop and go

New Times Square lyrics - Chris Rea
I'll see you round about midnight
You know I won't be late
Let's dive into this crap house
And truth hell have to wait
The truth of what has gone before
Lies bleeding on the floor
The only truth remaining still
Is that truth don't matter anymore
So meet me round about midnight
I won't let you down I swear
We'll hang on to each other
Down at the new Times Square
It seems that we can't run from this
No matter how we try
There's nothing here worth keeping
So let's kiss it all goodbye
Tell me what's worth keeping anyway
It doesn't seem to matter
What we do or what we say
Everything we had
They have now taken it all away
The truth don't matter anymore
You know I won't be late
Let's dive into this crap house
And truth hell have to wait
The truth of what has gone before
Lies bleeding on the floor
The only truth remaining still
Is that truth don't matter anymore
So meet me round about midnight
I won't let you down I swear
We'll hang on to each other
Down at the new Times Square
It seems that we can't run from this
No matter how we try
There's nothing here worth keeping
So let's kiss it all goodbye
Tell me what's worth keeping anyway
It doesn't seem to matter
What we do or what we say
Everything we had
They have now taken it all away
The truth don't matter anymore
The Way You Look Tonight lyrics - Chris Rea
A sinner I may be
But I've just got to try
My luck with you
Secret smile upon your face
So don't look down
Don't hide your grace
Let me find you
Cos I can't get over the way
You look tonite
Blow me away
The way you look tonite
Tell me to go away
It's allright
I just wanted to say
The way you look tonite
The way you look tonite...
But I've just got to try
My luck with you
Secret smile upon your face
So don't look down
Don't hide your grace
Let me find you
Cos I can't get over the way
You look tonite
Blow me away
The way you look tonite
Tell me to go away
It's allright
I just wanted to say
The way you look tonite
The way you look tonite...
