Acting Very Strange (Rutherford)
If I step into the light And hold it in my hand Nothing left to see, Nothing left for me, anyway I feel the world is slipping Out of reach (I'm all alone) It's a memory It's a memory that used to be In a little while I know it'll be too late Somebody help me, please Cos you're acting very strange You're acting very strange You're acting very strange You're acting very strange Oh, you never come here any more You never even call To see if I'm alright Get me through the night Like you used to do In a little while I know it'll be too late Now I'm certain That you're acting very strange You're acting very strange You're acting very strange You're acting very strange Another lonely day without you, oh I'm acting very strange without you, oh Another lonely day without you, oh I'm acting very strange without you, oh Oh, the place is getting very hot I'm afraid to stay Something's going on Something's very wrong with you and me If I reach out to touch your face There's nothing there to touch It's a memory It's a memory of you and me In a little while I know it'll be too late Now I'm certain That you're acting very strange You're acting very strange You're acting very strange You're acting very strange I'm acting very strange without you, oh Another lonely day without you, oh I'm acting very strange without you, oh Another lonely day without you, oh You're acting very strange... I'm acting very strange without you, oh...
A Day To Remember (Rutherford)
There's a light in every window And it's shining on your door It's put there to remind you Of what you must answer for Have you never had this feeling There's nothin' you must hide No day to remember No day to recall Every day is just another day Every way is just another way So try to remember Please try to recall Why don't you believe me, oh Why don't you believe me, oh And in a moment's hesitation Your defences are down And your secret is out, it is out Nightmares keep coming Your dreams get confused As you try to remember The way that you were used But you'll have forgotten You can't recall The way that it happened And the things that you saw Every face is just another face Every place is just another place That haunts you forever, The day you can't hide Why don't you believe me, oh Why don't you believe me, oh And in a moment's hesitation Your defences are down And your secret is out, is out Someone points a finger Someone knows the truth 'Bout the day you've been hiding The day you were used But the nightmares keep coming Your dreams get confused As you try to remember As you try to recall But you know in your heart Someone will find That day you remember That day you can't hide That day you remember That day you can't hide
Maxine (Rutherford/Belotte)

I Don't Wanna Know (Rutherford)
I suppose you think I'm crazy I suppose you think I'm mad You will never understand Why I'm alone, oh I'm alone, but I Such a lot of information Such a lot of useless talk And there is no way to avoid it So I'm alone, oh I'm alone, but I I don't think I wanna know... I don't think I wanna know And I don't think I wanna know Ask all the questions Answer all the lies Many men have told me That you wouldn't be surprised I'm so alone, I'm so alone, but I I don't think I wanna know... I don't think I wanna know I don't need this information Information... But I think I'll find an answer If you'll just give me the chance There are people in the world today Who won't even question that They don't need this information And now I'm asking you, the only way I know And you are telling me you cannot keep control If you think of me If you think of me the way I am If you think of me and what I mean If you think of me the way I ask you now I don't think I wanna know... I don't wanna be another fool...
