Perfect World

        Perfect World             

I live
on that silver soul ridge
broken wings
dragging in the dirt

Lost bridge
to those crystal peaks
take a risk
just to heal the hurt

I’m one slip from hell - one leap of faith
to my Perfect World

Take me
take me to that Perfect World
take me to that Perfect World
before I close my eyes - 
Take me
take me to that Perfect World
take me to that Perfect World
let me breathe that air - just one time  

In my - in my - in my
Perfect World

I dig
for that soul trapped inside
can’t resist
the truth in my lies

I’m one slip from hell - one leap of faith
to my Perfect World

Take me
take me to that Perfect World
take me to that Perfect World
before I close my eyes - 
Take me
take me to that Perfect World
take me to that Perfect World
let me breathe that air - just one time  

In my - in my - in my
Perfect World

So sweet on my lips  
so bitter on my tongue
I burn for that perfect kiss
before my days are gone

Take me
take me to that Perfect World
take me to that Perfect World
before I close my eyes - 
Take me
take me to that Perfect World
take me to that Perfect World
let me breathe that air - just one time  

In my - in my - in my
Perfect World

Love In The Dark

She throws a sideways glance
in the hallway mirror
softly closes
that cold home front door                   

Walks a block to breathe
calls a hidden number
hails a taxi
to some penthouse floor

No-one’s listening
but she’s whispering…

Give me love
give me love in the dark
I can take those killing days
just need some light to shine my way -
shine my way…
shine my way…
like the morning sunrise plays
give me love in the dark

A heart about to burst
flying for that moment
life forgotten
burning hot for more              

Chasing late for home
smile for the neighbours
wife and mother
nothing like before

No-one’s listening
but she’s whispering….

Give me love
give me love in the dark
I can take those killing days
just need some light to shine my way -
shine my way…
shine my way…
like the morning sunrise plays
give me love in the dark

No way back – just play the game
still nobody’s caring
she’ll never be the same
dreaming…

Give me love
give me love in the dark
I can take those killing days
just need some light to shine my way -
shine my way…
shine my way…
like the morning sunrise plays
give me love in the dark

Lizzie Blonde

             ‘Lizzie Blonde’            

Lush summer day - end of May on a Sunday
Bucks Fizz & Pimms - Lady’s lawn party  
fashion parades - slick links and P.A.s
Lizzie Blonde - what a day for strangers to meet!         

People make way - she’s cruisin’ and groovin’     
twisting the necks - turnin’ the tables
fires me a glance - melts my ‘Raybans’    
Lizzie Blonde - where you been hidin’ all my life?!

Woah - Lizzie Blonde - in the wild sunlight…

Lizzie Blonde - you got me
yeh you got me alright  
outta my head
outta my mind - 
Lizzy Blonde - you got me
yeh you got me alright
don’t know how
don’t know why
but you sure got me right!
    
Lush summer day - end of May on a Sunday
war-torn and whipped - truce with the lady
peace treaties made - rollin’ in nightshade
Lizzie Blonde - what a night for lovers to meet!

Woah - Lizzie Blonde - in the wild moonlight…

Lizzie Blonde - you got me
yeh you got me alright  
outta my head
outta my mind - 
Lizzy Blonde - you got me
yeh you got me alright
don’t know how
don’t know why
but you sure got me right!

Now it feels like winter in my empty bed
heat of your body’s long gone
but I’m crossin’ off the days to Spring
come on back and turn me on

Lizzie Blonde - you got me
yeh you got me alright  
outta my head
outta my mind - 
Lizzy Blonde - you got me
yeh you got me alright
don’t know how
don’t know why
but you sure got me right!
