The Perfect Part 05:11
lyrics

They say that if you want something badly enough you’ll do whatever it takes to get it I’ve spent a lifetime chasing my dream I’ve sacrificed everything So when this role came up I knew I’d do anything to make it mine Anything This is the part This is the part That I was dreaming of This is the part That I knew in my heart And no-one could take it from me Oh no I was nervous and frightened but so excited I’d waited for this role all of my life And I couldn’t wait to get on set and start filming This is the part The wonderful part That I was dreaming of This is the part The most amazing part And no-one could take it from me Oh no Thank you, thank you   I could see it all so clearly Oscar, Golden Globe and Bafta nominations My acceptance speech was written And there were already tears in my eyes This is the part That I knew in my heart I wasn’t dreaming So don’t waste a minute Just you believe it This was the part for me Don’t dare ignore it Some will deplore it But this was the part for me Oh yeh I’m going to be a star I love you all This was the part This was the part This was the part THE PERFECT PART FOR ME

Sunshine & Rain 04:15

Come and rain This madness down the drain Crazy days are here to stay now A sunny start The curtains pull apart I’m an actor in a show, I love you all Woah oh oh woah ooh Oh the sunshine and rain Always dreaming for a better day Never mind what others say They’re on their own, on their own A beaming sun And messing just for fun Takes me back to my childhood I ran in puddles on a rainy day All along that path It made me laugh La-augh Bring me sunshine and rain In a rainbow where they interplay Just appear then fade away Fade away, fade away Fade away, fade away Fade away Oh the sunshine and rain Keep on dreaming for a better day Never mind what others say They’re all alone Bring me sunshine and rain In a rainbow where they interplay Just appear then fade away Fade away Love the sunshine and rain Always searching for a better way Hoping I don’t lose my way Lose my way La la la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la

Love's Undefined 03:59

Staring at the red line But how did it start? Would I cross it for you? From my head to my heart I always get that feeling I never feel a part All of it happened I’m wondering why Not the movie forever Or a wordless goodbye I I always keep on thinking Why I never knew the start Love’s undefined Love’s undefined And I don’t really mind Calling up the helpline Stars unaligned Don’t need constellations Cos love’s undefined I I always get that feeling Why I never feel a part Love’s undefined Love’s undefined I don’t really mind I don’t really mind When love’s undefined This is what I find I I always keep on thinking Why I never knew the start Love’s undefined Love’s undefined Yeah And I don’t really mind

Never Stopping 04:09
lyrics

Never stopping It’s just a weekday Uncertain sunrise Another new day begun There’s just no stopping My data’s flowing The clock is ticking away And the rain Comes down I love that sound In my mind - never stopping I’m on the phone - never stopping And when I sleep - never stopping I’m caught up in a whirl One two three four Centrifusion world Wondering What’s left to be unfurled I share a sweet smile For just a short while It lifts my spirit so high Anticipating Communicating I hope that no-one replies And the rain Comes down I love that sound Take a breath - never stopping I’m charging up - never stopping I Need a dress - online shopping What comes next in my world? One two three four Caught up in a whirl Wondering What’s happening to this girl? I wonder Moving forward - never stopping Took a quick look back - that was shocking I need some love - never stopping I don’t want to be alone One two three four Caught up in a whirl Wondering What’s happening to my world What’s happening

I just wanna be OK I just wanna keep on grooving Grooving along to a steady beat I don’t wanna be world beating I don’t need a special prize Only getting natural highs I just wanna be OK I just wanna keep on moving Moving along in a different plane I don’t wanna be restricted I don’t need it all explained It leaves me feeling rather drained This is the way I’m feeling This is the scene inside Here is the part I’m fearing When every night The devil rides I’m gonna twist and turn all night Awake again Go to sleep again I need to let the night-time end And then get going again 95% of the time I’m OK Doctor says it’s all OK I just need to keep on sleeping Sleeping in ‘til the break of day I don’t wanna be in darkness I don’t need a reason why You can see it in my eyes This is the way I’m feeling This is the scene inside Here is the part I’m fearing When every night The devil rides I’m gonna twist and turn all night Awake again Go to sleep again I need to let the night-time end And then get going again 95% of the time I’m OK I’m OK This is the way I’m feeling This is the scene inside Here comes the part I’m fearing Every night When the devil rides again 95% of the time OK 95% of the time OK 95% of the time OK OK

Tainted & Damned 04:49
lyrics

It’s just a little thing you know Happened long ago Just a flashpoint that No turning back It might be easier just to say But holding back every day Gets much harder then There’s just no way I know you didn’t understand How it all got out of hand I remember where we were Me just there you a blur In that special place A hidden space I could easily ramble on Never saying what went wrong It makes no sense A good defence I know you didn’t understand Happened fast, it wasn’t planned I wanted to tell you I wanted to tell you I wanted to tell you But I never will And I hope you understand I couldn’t tell you I couldn’t tell you I couldn’t tell you It hurts me still I’m tainted and I’m damned When I reflect upon my crime It only crucifies my mind Oh the pain it caused Was needless Lord I can’t easily carry on Never saying it was wrong But it’s just no use Keep moving on I know you wouldn’t understand Say goodbye and wave your hand I wanted to tell you I wanted to tell you I wanted to tell you But I never will I’m tainted and I’m damned I couldn’t tell you I couldn’t tell you I couldn’t tell you It haunts me still And I hope you understand Cos I’ve tried all the things they say Just a small thing every day Habit forming Is the way to cure the pain But when you really know what’s wrong Then nothing works for very long It’s just a hope or a prayer It’s just a hope There’s nothing there There’s nothing there I needed to tell you I needed to tell you I needed to tell you That it haunts me still I’m tainted and I’m damned But I couldn’t tell you I couldn’t tell you I couldn’t tell you And I never will I hope you understand I need you to help me I need you to help me I need you to help me But it’s too late now And I don’t understand Why you won’t help me Why won’t you help me Why won’t you help me Cos my fate is sealed I’m tainted and I’m damned

Don’t tell me that Don’t tell me after all this time That you dreamt of someone’s love And it hasn’t been mine Don’t make me cry Don’t make me cry anymore Because I dreamt of someone’s love And it’s always been yours Now there’s enough pain in this world Without the tears of this broken girl Don’t do it, don’t leave Don’t do it, don’t leave Don’t do it, don’t leave Don’t do it, don’t leave Don’t lecture me Don’t tell me that it’s only for the best It’s you who’s been untrue So just give it a rest Don’t twist the knife Don’t throw away the love we had before Don’t walk out of my life Don’t walk out the door Cos there’s enough pain in this world Without the tears of this broken girl Don’t do it, don’t leave Don’t do it, don’t leave Don’t do it, don’t leave Don’t do it, don’t leave If I said that I wanted you Could you say that you needed me If you thought what I said was true Don’t do it, don’t leave Don’t do it, don’t leave Don’t do it, don’t leave Don’t do it, don’t leave The thought of you leaving me Brings desperate jealousy The thought of you being free Brings pain and misery Don’t Do it Don’t Leave

Deceptive Charm 04:29
lyrics

Have you heard that man He’s got all the answers Speaks the perfect words Really know he’s on your side You just want advice Well he’s got the explanation Every single glossy slide Never see a falling line Just one sec Better just check She’s dressed like a queen Leaves a strong impression Makes you feel so good Sucks you right into her game Just the perfect pitch A consummate performer You don’t wanna miss out quick Sign up now! Just one sec Don’t sign yet Is this the deal That you think it will be Set up for life and Getting lunch free Go ahead jump right in But make sure you can swim Follow the trail Expose the fraud Already gone Hidden abroad Really hard to face the shame And who’s gonna take the blame If only you could see This is the thing That I don’t understand With minimal thought You’re into a scam Some people seem so sure But you really need much more Once it gets out It won’t go away Repeat it enough Ensures it will pay You don’t wanna be the fool It’s really not that cool If only you could see It’s just not meant to be - yeh You’re flying to the moon But losing speed too soon Crashing down into a murky sea Is this the deal That you think it will be Set up for life and Getting lunch free Go ahead jump right in But make sure you can swim Follow the trail Expose the fraud Already gone Hidden abroad Really hard to face the shame And who’s gonna take the blame This is the thing That I don’t understand With minimal thought You’re into a scam Some people seem so sure But you really need much more Once it gets out It won’t go away Repeat it enough Ensures it will pay You don’t wanna be the fool It’s really not that cool You don’t wanna be that fool It’s really not so cool No

Leave It All Behind (Economy Mix) 04:43

On my own in security Scanner beeps, rewind Only thing needs checking Is the baggage in my mind I’ve got some time to gather thoughts Loved ones in the frame Ready for the journey Things will never be the same Waiting for that feeling And leave it all behind I’m sensing new beginnings I glance from side to side Cruising high, thirty eight k Limit’s been defined Guilty feelings dissipate Leaving contrails far behind Life’s a game, a journey Destination doubt Thinking of the next one Search it quick and check it out Longing for that feeling To leave it all behind I’m feeling new emotion It’s welling up inside Longing for that feeling To leave it all behind I’m seeing new beginnings I’m high up in the sky I’m dreaming for tomorrow I’m going with the flow I’m feeling new emotions I’m welling up inside

Wake up And see the signs Mother nature On my mind Reports are in Conclusions clear Protect restore Too late I fear Take a good look around Just a little bit closer Take a good look and You will see what’s wrong Plastic lawn Concrete base Suffocating Sterile space Ancient trees For years they stand Now they’re gone Building planned Take a good look around Just a little bit closer Take a good look and You will be dismayed I see all the beauty in this world And it keeps me smiling I’ve seen all the damage that’s been done And it makes me cry Look around today Need to find a way Pollinators Set the seed Fragile systems Hurt by greed More to growth than GDP Natural wealth It’s not for free Take a good look around Get a little bit closer Take a good look and You will be amazed I see all the beauty in this world And it keeps me smiling I’ve seen all the damage that’s been done Oh it makes me cry Look around today Need to find a way Look toward the future What gets left behind Stop and think Oh it’s hard to think Time goes by We’re on the brink I see all the beauty in this world How it keeps us living I see all the damage that we do How we let things die I see all the beauty in this world And it keeps me smiling I’ve seen all the damage that’s been done Oh it makes me cry Look around today Need to find a way Need to find a way, need to find a way Look around today, look around today Need to find a way, need to find a way Look around today Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah Ah
