Everything falls into place

I know what you're saying
It's all got to go
At times driven along by the meaning
I need colours around me to fade
Everything falls into place
Everything falls in to favour
Everything falls into place
And then we all go mad
and throw it away
We all go mad and throw it away
I see what you're doing'
Makes sense after all
my hearts telling me I'm not mistaken
It feels better than I can believe
Everything falls into place
Everything falls into favour
everything falls into place
And then we all go mad and throw it away
We all go mad and throw it away
We all go mad and we throw it away
I said we all go mad and throw it away

But baby there's a catch
Don't need your foul play
Now you have met your match
You think you're in control
But that won't last that long
You thought you wore the crown
Honey, you were wrong

You had me taken in
But now I've found you out
And I won't go through that again
You've always had to win
You'll have to go without
You don't know where to stop

Go, go, go, go, go
I'll get over you
You drive me crazy, up the wall
Think you're Mr Know-it-all
Go, go, go, go, go

Goodbye Mr Know-it-all

Eye-eye-eye-ah
Eye-eye-eye-ah
Eye-eye-eye-ah

I let you have your say
You never compromised
Complaining everyday
About everything in sight
I've let you stay a while
Now I am getting bored
No substance in your style
And you're not the man
You thought that you were

You had me taken in
But now I've found you out
And I won't go through that again
You've always had to win
You'll have to go without
You don't know where to stop

Oh get over you

Go, go, go, go, go
I'll get over you
You drive me crazy, up the wall
Think you're Mr Know-it-all
Go, go, go, go, go
I'll get over you
You drive me crazy, up the wall
Goodbye Mr Know-it-all

Go, go, go, go, go
I'll get over you
You drive me crazy, up the wall
Think you're Mr Know-it-all
Go, go, go, go, go
I'll get over you
You drive me crazy, up the wall
Goodbye Mr Know-it-all

Oh get over you

Making Music

Equations such as this can be a pleasure to behold
You and me, mathematically, add up or so I'm told
When I have my four to floor the two of us combine
Instinctively, hypnotically, we always keep in time

Oh I know the air tonight is the same as it was before
I can't account for feeling this
You make me beg for more

Making music
Making music
Making music by numbers

Words can be my enemy but rhythms on my side
Circulating round you while my eyes are on the prize
I couldn't plan the things I do, or calculate my move
When you and me amount to this my number skills improve

Leave aside anxiety and just enjoy the ride
I can't be sure of where we'll go
The beat can be our guide

Making music
Making music
Sweet music by numbers

Making music
Watch me use it
See me lose it
By numbers

Mixed Up World

I'm feeling all messed up
I have a voice inside my head it says turn to the left then it says turn to the right
Don't want to bring you down
But I am really needing guidance now
What would you do within my shoes
(don't cry) I'm going crazy
(stay high) I've never felt so low
(don't hide) I want to turn and run
we've got to find a place to go

so when you're feeling kind of mixed up
just remember it's a mixed up world
and when you're feeing life is just too tough
just remember you're a real tough girl

I look around my life
And all I see is contradiction and a lack of faith
Cynicism rules the day
I know it has it's place
But I am really needing guidance now
Reminding me I'm strong inside

(don't cry) I know you love me
(stay high) and we'll make it through this time
(don't hide) I want to feel the sun
we've got to start to take control

(why) do I feel this pain
(why) has this world gone insane

I Won't Change You

I used to change my accent, change my stance
My phone number, the way I dance
Some people change lovers like they change their sheets
But I won't change you honey, you're for keeps

I used to think I had to change the way I am
To feel better, to get a man
But once I stopped trying I fell for you
You fell for me so I'll stay the same for you

Oh yeah I know that I'm not perfect baby
Oh yeah it's no reason to go crazy
Oh yeah boy you can always count on me
For better or for worse I will always put you first

Now that I have found you
You've changed my life
Cos you're the one who showed me
I have everything right
We're never gonna differ cos we know it's true
So don't change me and I won't change you

I used to change my style like I changed my mind
I tried to change a tyre but I'm not that way inclined
Tried to change my figure my diet too
I'll still change my underwear if that's O.K with you
But after seeing you I know that here is best

Oh yeah the world can sometimes make you feel bad
Oh yeah but don't forget the things you have
Oh yeah boy you can always count on me
In sickness and in health baby always be yourself

Nowhere Without You

Another day break and we face the sun
You are everything to me
And I am overcome, I can taste it now
I know we have become single minded

And have I told you, how I want to breathe you in
You're so far beneath my skin, darling I'd be...

Nowhere without you
You're the only one I have ever loved
I'd be nowhere without you
You're the only one I can really trust
Let my loving surround you
You are safe inside, this is paradise
I'd be nowhere without you
And I want to be beside you always

Heaven help me, oh how I pray you stay
I would die without your love
And I am stunned today, so far fallen now
Another choice is made, I want you forever
I couldn't bear it if we had never felt the same
Could I have ever found my way

And have I told you, how I want to breathe you in
You're so far beneath my skin

Another Day

So far girlfriend, I know your secrets
Keep them again and again until the end
Unspoken, when I'm with you I believe
That you always seem to know just what I need

More important, than the go and coming
Of our menfolk and all those troubles
When I'm broken, we will always find a way
To help each other through another day
Another day, another day
No matter what the weather brings I know the same
Our path is laid, to brighter days
We will help each other through another day

Though our time is not always perfect
When it works out the rest is worth it
Make the effort, to see things eye to eye
And then our friendship means we're more than getting by
When I grow tired, you're on my side
We will help each other through another day

So glad you understand my world, my world
I'm always here for you girl so you know
You don't have to make it on your own

Here forever, we're gonna brave the storm together
To sunny weather
It's unspoken, we'll always find a way
To help each other through another day
Another day, another day
In the big world we're finding our own way
But here I stay, come what may
You can rely on me to listen all the way
'Cause here I'll stay
Come what may
And we will help each other through
another day

Party In My Head

There's a party in my head
Won't let me go to bed
Have to stay up instead
Go to the party in my head
We're divorced before we're wed
I'm reborn before I'm dead
Straight from the mouth of Mr Ed
Invited to the party in my head

Stop that banging on the wall
I won't turn down the noise at all
I'm footloose and fancy free
My head the place to be

There's a party in my head
I can't remember what you said
The sad truth's I'm poorly bred
Raised at the party in my head
There's an orgy like Club Med
Where everybody rocks my bed
Your baby wonders where you fled
Came at the party in my head

Though you may call 999
They will hang up everytime
It's too late they're here with me
Off their heads and on the beat

There's no charge the entry's free
I gave the doorman a kiss, you see
And all the guests mix brilliantly
Cos I am them and they are me
I threw away my high street cred
To have a life instead
Repeat the words that I just said
To go to the party in your head

Gertie · **◊Poker Face◊**

Love It Is Love

I can't believe it's happened to me
Taken over so completely
I was content but nevertheless
You've changed my life for the best

I want to hold you 'til I lose time
I never want to be back in my mind

The way that I'm feeling
Love it is love
Keep on with the feeling
Love it is love
Begins without thinking
Befriends with a touch
Keep on with the feeling
Love it is love

So all a sudden stupid makes sense
I succumb and I've no defence
You make me happy inside I dance
Never stopping, fuel is a glance

I've fallen deeper and I am the girl
I used to want to be you spin my world
Onward motion, pure devotion
I thought I knew my heart was lone and stark
But baby oh
You've moved within me
Never go never go never go never go

You Get Yours

You're selfish
Like me
It's why we get along
Famously
We're English
As well
So we're a
We're a
We're a little bit ashamed of ourselves
It's ok to be needy
Just not voraciously greedy
Let's make sure that we don't let it show

You get yours and I'll get mine
We'll justify our actions
Some other time

You're anxious
In dreams
cos you've come apart
At the seams
Revealing inside
What it was
What it was
What it was that you were trying to hide

I don't know how to be friendly
When you're consumed with envy
It never stops controlling how I feel

Tell me you love me and this time mean it

The Walls Keep Saying Your Name

I've tried to visualise the moment
When you have finally left my house
But though your body left long ago
I find your spirit hangs around
I talk to you to make you leave me
But before the words have left my mouth
A hundred whispers come from the walls
And nothing I say makes it stop

Let me be
Insanity Doesn't flatter me
Let me be
I'm hearing things that you won't believe

I can't sleep when the walls keep saying your name
I can't sleep when the walls keep saying your name
Go from me and let me slumber again
I can't sleep when the walls keep saying your name

I walk around with all the lights on
When it is past the midnight hour
Oh how can such a fleeting love affair
Still behold me in its power

Let me be
Insanity doesn't flatter me
Let me be
I'm hearing things you won't believe

Well it was ok for a while
Your attention made me smile
But now you're driven wild and I can't handle it
Your passion is a curse
And I seem to make things worse
I'm gonna leave you girl, leave you girl

Let me be insanity doesn't flatter me
Let me be I'm hearing things you won't believe
Round my head incessantly possessing me
Let me be
Let me be

I Won't Dance With You

I don't want to walk onto the floor
See I am happy with my back against the wall
I know you're asking me to dance but you will leave me wanting more
Attention to the details and you'll score

You're too good too people pleasure
I don't cramp your freedom

This is your forte
Alright
I can't party
Tonight
pleasure I won't dance with you
Ooh
Catch your reflection in me
My intervention
No need
Pleasure I won't dance with you

I know it's better for you to dance alone
Then you can wallow in praise until the cows come home
I want to teach you how good it is to share
Wow the crowds together if you dare

You like to show your tricks to plenty
I want a partner who'll make me heady

You need to make me your queen
Upstage me?
Obscene
Pleasure I won't dance with you

Fella tell me can you be my perfect man?
(Yes I can oh yes I can)
Can you calm your ego down?
(Yes I will to turn you round)
Do you want me as your date?
(Come with me and celebrate)
Dancing
(Asking)
Asking
(Dancing)
This will be your last chance

If you are on your best behaviour
I can be the one to save you

This is your forte alright
I can party tonight
I will dance with you
We show the movers desire
us united on fire
When I dance with you
When you have made me your queen
Embrace me complete I will dance with you
