Something in the moonlight catches my eye
The shadow of a lover goes dancing by
Looking for a little bit of love to grow, so
Give me love, give me heart and soul
You never let me cross to the other side now
I'm tied to the hope that you will somehow
Hard on the heels of something more
But I lost your love, heart and soul
The tear in my heart as you walk on by (more than an ocean)
I feel so low and your head is high
Everything you do convinces me more (keeps us apart)
Please, give me love, give me heart and soul
Looking to the day when I saw your face (I feel a tearing in half of my heart)
I wasn't in the running, I wasn't in the race
You move in a way that I've known before
Now I want your love, heart and soul
Tired eyes, tears that dried (leaving you ain't easy now)
On the bed, on the pillow, where the love has died (loving you's the harder part)
A turn of the key, through the door you go (you never want me for myself)
Don't look back, to hurt me more (now I've needed you right from the very start)
Everything you said was to the point
Can't you try to (oh won't you even try to)
Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul)
Give a little bit of love to grow
Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul)
And don't you make me beg for more (must I beg you)
Give a sign, I need to know
A little bit of heart and soul
Walking on the water, walking on the air (a walk on the water)
That was the heart of the love we shared
Do you keep secret left untold (is all that I need)
Can't give love, heart or soul
I used to have a lover with a Midas touch (but miracles are not happening)
I turned to gold but he turned to dust
Left me for another, I turned to stone
Now give me love, heart and soul
Tired eyes, tears that dried (living in a fantasy)
On the bed, on the pillow, where you told your lies (there's never any room to breathe)
A turn of the key, my blood runs cold (hoping every waking hour)
Don't look back to hurt me more (you'll turn around and say that we can start)
Everything you did just said it all
Can't you try to (oh won't you even try to)
Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul)
Give a little bit of love to grow
Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul)
And don't you make me beg for more (must I beg you)
Give a sign, I need to know
A little bit of heart and soul
Somehow, I lost my way
Looking to see something in your eyes
But love will never compromise
Now this is the politics of life, yeah!
Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul)
Give a little bit of love to grow
Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul)
And don't you make me beg for more (must I beg you)
Give a sign, I need to know
A little bit, little bit
Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul)
Give a little bit of love to grow
Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul)
And don't you make me beg for more (must I beg you)
Give a sign, I need to know
A little bit, little bit
Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul)
Give a little bit of love to grow
Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul)
And don't you make me beg for more (must I beg you)
Give a sign, I need to know, whoooah!
Give a little bit of heart and soul
Give a little bit of heart and soul
I have this fantasy
You come back and you forgive me
Oh I'm so sorry now
I hear this melody
Our tryst in rhapsody
And I am listening
I never thought I'd see the day when you and me
We'd be so far apart
And I miss you so much now
But I know there's no way back to yesterday
I will be with you
You're here in my heart
But if you never come back again
We'll never be far apart
I miss you so much
Wherever you are
But if you never come back again
We'll never be far apart
Here in my deepest dream
Running through another scene
I win your love again
And no, it doesn't bother me
The time I spend in imagery
Well it's how I live
You see, I don't believe that we tried
Everything before our love died
And I just can't forget
Oh, is the one chance all we get
I will be with you
You're here in my heart
But if you never come back again
We'll never be far apart
I miss you so much
Wherever you are
But if you never come back again
We'll never be far apart
Now I have such memories
But I don't like to resurrect them
Oh you know they hurt me so much now
And I know there's no way you'll be coming home
I will be with you
You're here in my heart
But if you never come back again
We'll never be far apart
I miss you so much
Wherever you are
But if you never come back again
We'll never be far apart
I will be with you
You're here in my heart
But if you never come back again
We'll never be far apart
I miss you so much
Wherever you are
But if you never come back again
We'll never be far apart
It was a theme she had
On a scheme he had
Told in a foreign land
To take life on earth
To the second birth
And the man was in command
It was a flight on the wings
Of a young girl's dreams
That flew too far away
And we could make the monster live again
Oh hands move and heart beat on
Now life will return in this electric storm
A prophecy for a fantasy
The curse of a vivid mind
Don't push too far
Your dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard
Because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might
Have set upon yourself
China in your hand
Come from greed
Never born of the seed
Took a life from a barren hand
Oh eyes wide
Like a child in the form of man
A story told
A mind of his own
An omen for our time
Don't push too far
Your dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard
Because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might
Have set upon yourself
China in your hand
Oh your hand
Your dreams are china in your hand, wooah
Here in your hand
China in your hand, woh oh oh woh oh oh woh oh
Here in your hand
Woh! You take a flight on the wings of fantasy
Then you push too far
And make your dreams reality
Yeah! For the china in your hand
But you shouldn't push too hard
You take a flight on the wings of fantasy
Then you push too hard
You make those dreams reality
Yeah! China in your hands
But they're only dreams
With friends like these
There's no need to worry your head
It seems
They know everything
Hand on the heart
They see how you should feel
But oh how
The mighty all fall down
Heavy in a sea of principles
They drown
They have only one dream
Only one way
With only one vision and
Thought for the day
With friends like these
Woh oh woh
Cautioning the way the world is turning
I want to know
Will they ever, ever see
Or be sure
There's another way
Your mind is working
Now right or wrong
They never walk alone
How lucky are the few
Who know where they belong
For they have...
Only one dream
Only one way
With only one vision and
Thought for the day
There is only (there is only)
One dream (yeah, there is only)
Only one way
With only one vision
Thought for the day (here's your thought for the day)
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Your thought for the day (here's your thought for the day)
Your thought for the day
I just feel like talking to someone
I don't care who it is
I just wanna have a laugh
You know how it is, yeah yeah
All of the day in the same old room
Well, I'm going out of my mind
I can't throw this out of the window
It's mine all mine
You better believe it
Hell, you know I mean it
I've been on my own too long
In desperation I learned many things
But mostly it's each to their own
Sex talk
Intimate strangers
Well it's only sex talking on the phone
Love without a face
I just need a pat on the back
Tell me that I'm still alive
Like spider man
I'm climbing the walls
I want my prize, yeah yeah
I don't remember
When it crept up behind me
I don't know when I got so wet
All I know is I was looking for something
But I forget
You see that I can't go on living like this
I've been on my own too long
You know I looked around
Never found love
Far away it called one day
Sex talk
Intimate strangers
Well it's only sex talking on the phone
Love, love, love, without a face
I don't remember when it crept up behind me
I don't know when I got so wet
You see all I know is I was looking for something
What was it? What was it? I forget
Ah well, it's easy for you
To be shocked at what I do
You've probably got someone at home
I never had anyone to love me
Anyone to hold me
I take what I can on the telephone
Sex talk, intimate strangers
Well it's only sex talking on the phone
My kind of love without a face
And we talk oh! yeah!
Intimate strangers
Well it's only sex talking on the phone
Love, love, love, without a face
Gimme your love
Gimme your love
Talk to me, woh yeah!
Sex talk
We talk
We have a good time on the telephone lines
We talk oh yeah!
Intimate strangers
Well it's only sex talking on the phone
You say what I want on the telephone
Sex talk oh! yeah!
Woh oh oh woh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Woo ooh Woo ooh
So long I've waited
For you to come to me
Anticipating what I would say
And no one could know
How it feels to be
In your embrace again
So tender
Yeah, there were times
I could not hold on
With each day that came
A little more hope was gone
I'd look into my heart
To see what I had done
And now I can't believe
The day is finally come
I am walking
Over the bridge of spies today
Freedom is only one more step away
You only have to hold me
Take me to you
Now the things we wanted
Well they're so far away it seems
Your love is a distant thing
That I kept deep inside of me
Now if I could show you
Where I lived in my fantasy
On the continent of dreams
You'd be with me
I don't know if I could go through it all again
For what's the point if you are never free to say
This is what I believe
This is a part of me
No hero, no regrets
But only meant to be
I am walking
Over the bridge of spies today
Freedom is only one more step away
You only have to hold me
Yeah! Yeah!
Walking
Over the bridge of spies today
Freedom is only one step away, yeah
You only have to hold me, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me
In the healthy, wealthy state of Mental Hygiene
We will teach you how to think a clean way
There'll be no more dirty looks
And no more dirty books
Now for your own good we will take the choice away
There is a limit in the state of Mental Hygiene
To the difference of opinion we can allow, oh yeah
Now we must close an open mind
If it's open to a different kind
Well, how can you hurt us if we:
Clean up in the Monkey House tonight
Oh yeah, you're gonna be alright
We clean up in the Monkey House, house tonight
Now we can make or break your mind
With Mental Hygiene
And you will see things in the way we think you should
Oh yeah
In the quiet of the night
The first cut is the deepest in the fight
How can you blame us if we:
Clean up in the Monkey House tonight
Oh yeah, you're gonna be alright
We clean up in the Monkey House
We're gonna take you
We're gonna wash you whiter than white
In the Monkey House
Oh yeah!
Woh ooh ooh ooh woh ooh ooh woh
In the quiet of the night
You can hear your own heart beating
In the quiet of the night
We'll take your breath away
Now you're gonna listen to the things we say
We gotta:
Clean up in the Monkey House tonight
Oh yeah, you're gonna be alright
We clean up in the Monkey House
We're gonna take you
We're gonna wash you whiter than white
In the Monkey House tonight
ha ha ha ha ha ha yeah!
We clean up in the Monkey House
Songs for my valentine
Give the game away
In rhyme I make mine
Sing all that I cannot say
I know mine are the tears I never cry
I know mine is a love I must deny
We go our separate ways
With nothing but a smile
Hearts break in many ways
Oh how, you've broken mine
I know mine are the arms you'll never hold
I know mine is a love remains untold
Hey, hey, hey!
Sunny valentine
Come on shine

Oooh yeah!
Ooooh yeaaah!
Another winter of your discontent
I know how you scream and shout
When nothing you see makes any sense
Invaluable excuses
Drop like pearls in your self defense
You never do nothing about nothing, no
Where's all your confidence
Why can't you reach for a closer dream
The reason you fail
Is you go to extremes
You don't have to lie
You gotta try
If you fall, you can call
But you don't have to crawl
You give up
Hah, baby when it gets too rough
You ain't got what it takes
No you ain't tough enough
You give up
You're lazy, when it starts to rock
And when you see a way out, you go
Oooh yeah!
Another day goes by
Another tale to tell
How you nearly made it oh so far
Yeah you nearly did really well
Now why can't you reach
For a closer dream
The people who care
They don't mind where you've been
You don't have to lie
You gotta try
If you fall
You can call
But you don't have to crawl
You give up
Hah, baby when it gets too rough
You ain't got what it takes
No you ain't tough enough
You give up
You're lazy, when it starts to rock
And when you see a way out, you go
Oooh yeah!
Well it's another cold and lonely day
You got another tall tale to tell
How you nearly made it oh so far
Yeah you nearly did really well
But I know
You give up
Hah, baby when it gets too rough
You ain't got what it takes
No you ain't tough enough
You give up
You're lazy, when it starts to rock
And when you see a way out, you go
Oooh yeah!
Wooh, oooh, ooooh wooooh yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
You give up, woooh yeah! woooh yeah!
You give up, you always give up
Well I know you give up
You always give up
You give up
