In The Air Tonight (Collins)
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord I've been waiting for this moment, all my life, Oh Lord Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord Well, if you told me you were drowning I would not lend a hand I've seen your face before my friend But I don't know if you know who I am Well, I was there and I saw what you did I saw it with my own two eyes So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been It's all been a pack of lies And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Oh Lord I can feel it in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, Oh Lord, Oh Lord Well I remember, I remember don't worry How could I ever forget, it's the first time, the last time we ever met But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you don't fool me The hurt doesn't show; but the pain still grows It's no stranger to you or me And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord...
This Must Be Love (Collins)
It must be love, I'm feeling This must be love Oh this must be love, I'm feeling This must be love Well I wait in every day, just in case, You decide to call And I can hardly wait, 'cos I never thought time could pass so slowly It must be love, I'm feeling This must be love Oh this must be love, I'm feeling This must be love Happiness is something I never thought I'd feel again, but now I know It's you that I've been looking for And day by day more and more I know what you think, you've heard it before Don't tell me I know But this feeling inside my heart, You know I'm never letting go 'Cos I think that...

Behind The Lines (Banks/Collins/Rutherford)
I held the book so tightly in my hands, I saw your picture, heard you call my name It was strange I could not look away I had to be there, I wanted to go You gave me no reason you gave me no warning But I was with you, by your side Give me the strength, so I can help you And I can be strong now, they don't frighten me It's written in the book The sun is hotter than before But inside it's cold, I wonder why But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm Well I believe we can make it right It's time now to show our feelings Looking through you your heart's empty Whatever happened to you, you can't change it, Nowhere to run to, please, oh please don't let me down But wait a minute I don't understand it's getting stronger, hold my hand Don't want to leave you I don't want to go But I'm a' losing all control Can't you see me I'm slipping away I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here Oh Lord It's written in the book I held the book so tightly in my hands Saw your picture, heard you call my name Oh, and even though we never, never touched I keep waiting for you just the same La la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la...
The Roof Is Leaking (Collins)
The roof is leaking and the wind is howling Kids are crying 'cos the sheets are so cold I woke this morning found my hands were frozen I've tried to fix the fire, but you know the damn thing's too old It's been months now, since we heard from our Mary, I wonder if she ever made the coast She and her young man, they both moved out there But I sure hope they write, just to let us know And me, I'm getting stronger by the minute My wife's expecting, but I hope she can wait 'Cos this winter looks like it's gonna be another bad one But Spring'll soon be here, Oh God I hope it's not late Ma and Pa lived here, and theirs before them Tried their hardest to make it a home Seems so long now since they passed over Hope my children'll try to make it their own The roof is leaking and the wind is howling Kinds are crying, 'cos the sheets are so cold I woke this morning found my hands were frozen I've tried to fix the fire, but you know the damn thing's too old And me, I'm getting stronger by the minute My wife's expecting, but I hope she can wait 'Cos this winter looks like it's gonna be another bad one But Spring'll soon be here, Oh God I hope it's not late

So you finally came right out and said it girl What took you so long It was in your eyes, that look's been there for too long I'm waiting in line Would you say if I was wasting my time Or did I miss again I think I missed again oh I think about it from time to time When I'm lonely and on my own I try to forget and yet, still rush to the telephone I'm waiting in line Would you say if I was wasting my time Or did I miss again I think I missed again oh Or did I miss again I think I missed again oh Well it feels like something you want so bad Then you think you've got it, but it's something you already had You can feel it all around you, but it's something you just can't touch And I feel it coming at me I can feel it coming at me Or did I miss again I think I missed again oh Or did I miss again I think I missed again I'm waiting in line, but would you say if I was wasting my time Or did I miss again...
You Know What I Mean (Collins)
Just as I thought I'd make it You walk back into my life Just like you never left Just as I'd learned to be lonely You call up to tell me You're not sure if you're ready But ready or not, you'll take what you've got and leave Leave me alone with my heart I'm putting the pieces back together again Just leave, leave me alone with my dreams I can do without you, know what I mean... I wish I could write a love song, To show you the way I feel Seems you don't like to listen Oh but like it or not, take what you've got and leave Leave me alone with my heart It's broken in two and I'm not thinking too straight Just leave, leave me alone with my dreams You've taken everything else, you know what I mean
Thunder And Lightning (Collins)
I never thought I'd ever get tired of playing games But I've been holding back for too long Now the time has come to get it right Now's the time to show them all that they're wrong 'Cos they said thunder and they said lightning It would never strike twice Oh but if that's true, why can't you tell me How come this feels so nice, Oh it feels alright Never ever did believe in guiding lights 'Cos what you didn't hold, slipped away Oh but there's a feeling deep down in my shoe 'Cos things look like they're going my way 'Cos they say thunder and they say lightning It would never strike twice Oh but if that's true, why can't you tell me How come this feels so nice, Oh it feels alright I never ever did believe in a second chance You get, just one crack of the whip, that's all If you played the game, you got treated right Oh but I'm not playing the game, no more 'Cos they say thunder and they say lightning It would never strike twice Oh but if that's true, why can't you tell me How come this feels so nice, Oh it feels alright
I'm Not Moving (Collins)
If Leaving Me Is Easy (Collins)
Tomorrow Never Knows (Lennon/McCartney)
If you feel it do it,
You don't need a reason
For all you know/it could be good for you
To show your feelings
Don't just leave them
Do the things you believe in, it's alright
Don't worry turn around, I will still be here
I'm not moving...no really
You just try and push me out
No, I'm not moving...no really
No, I'm not going anywhere tonight
If you think it, say it
'Cos no-one will stop you
Don't keep quiet, just 'cos you think you ought to
Feel free to shout it loud, speak your mind, spit it out
'Cos I'm not moving...no really
You just try and push me out
No I'm not moving/I can sit it out
No really, there's no hurry
So don't worry turn around, I will still be here
If it hurts don't do it
'Cos no-one can take you make you drink
And no-one can tell you what you think
Remember if your spirit starts to sink
Don't worry turn around, I will still be here
I read all the letters, I read each word that you've sent to me
And though it's past now, and the words start to fade
All the memories I have start, still remain
I've kept all the pictures, but I hide my feelings so no-one knows
Oh sure my friends all come round, but I'm in a crowd on my own
It's 'cos you're gone now, but your heart, still remains
And it'll be here if you come again
You see, I'd heard the rumours, I knew before you let me know
But I didn't believe it, not you,
No you would not let me go
Seems I was wrong, but I love, I love you the same
And that's the one thing that you can't take away but just remember...
If leaving me is easy,
Going back is harder...
Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream
It is not dying, It is not dying.
Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
It is shining, oh it is shining.
That you may see the meaning of within
It is beginning, oh it is beginning.
That love is all and love is ev'ryone
It is knowing, oh it is knowing.
And ignorance and hate may mourn the dead
It is believing, oh it is believing.
So play the game, existence to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning.
Of the beginning, of the beginning...
Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I dreamed of once in a lullaby
