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
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

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

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
I got the Clarkson blues
Clarkson blues

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
That the big man’s here
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
Ain't That Just The Prettiest Thing lyrics - Chris Rea
Well ain’t that just the prettiest thing

Oh ain’t that just the prettiest thing

What’s she doing to me
But ain’t that just the prettiest thing

Ain’t that just the prettiest thing

Well ain’t that just the prettiest thing
I ever did see
Ain’t that just the prettiest thing

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...
