BACK ON

THE STREETS

("Total Control", 1987; "Back On The Streets", 1987)

Someone has taken your love, it's true isn't it?

Its not just talk that I hear

And when I see him build his wall around you I know the end is near

But tell me that I'm wrong and it's all in my mind

You've known all along and it just makes my blood run wild and I'm dying

So I'm back, back on the streets, yes, I'm back to find somebody new

I'm back, back on the streets, girl, I'm back and I'm over you

I've lost your love girl and all that I live for, I see it in your eyes

and when I see you walking out that door, girl, another part of me dies

It's time to move on and I know it for sure

The feeling is gone and I won't be hurt anymore and I'm not going to fall

So I'm back, back on the streets, yes, I'm back to find somebody new

I'm back, back on the streets, girl, I'm back and I'm over you

So I'm back, back on the streets, yes, I'm back to find somebody new

I'm back, I'm back on the streets, girl, I'm back and I'm over you

BAD

REPUTATION

(live)

("Back On The

Streets", 1987;

"Live In Stockholm", 1990)

You got a bad reputation, that's the word out on the town

It gives a certain fascination but it can only bring you down

You better turn yourself around, Turn yourself around

Turn it upside down, turn yourself around

You had bad breaks well that's tough luck

You play too hard too much rough stuff

You're too sly so cold

That bad reputation has made you old

Turn yourself around, turn yourself around

Turn it upside down, turn yourself around

BLIND

("Total Control", 1987; "Live In Stockholm", 1990)

You have always taken more than you need

You only want to satisfy your greed

You don't care if my heart bleed

Oh, I know I've been blind, oh, it's all gone through

Oh, I'm out of my mind, oh, (I) don't know what to do

Oh, I gave you my heart but you tried for my soul

It didn't take long before I lost control

Your love sure has taken toll

Oh, I know I've been blind, oh, it's all gone through

Oh, I'm out of my mind, (I) don't know what to do

The look in your eyes can make my blood turn to water

Sometimes I believe you're the devils own daughter

I was led like a lamb to the slaughter

Oh, I know I've been blind, oh, it's all gone through

Oh, I'm out of my mind, (I) don't know what to do

DON'T BELIEVE

A WORD

("Live In

Stockholm", 1990)

Don't believe me if I tell you not a word of this is true

Don't believe me if I tell you especially if I tell you that I'm in love with you

Don't believe me if I tell you that I wrote this song for you

There might be just some other silly pretty girl I'm singing it to

Don't believe a word 'cause words are so ease to be spoken

And your heart is just like a promise that was made to be broken

Don't believe a word, 'cause words can tell lies

And lies are no comfort when there's tear in your eyes

Don't believe me if I tell you not a word of this is true

Don't believe me if I tell you especially if I tell you that I'm in love with you

Don't believe a word, oh please don't believe a word, oh don't believe

Oh not a single word

ETERNAL

FLAME

("Total Control", 1987; "Live In Stockholm, 1990)

There was a small light shape looking down at me

she kept on asking "where do you wanna be?"

I thought about it and I told her to wait

she said "it's okay, but don't wait too long"

I cried "what if I can't make up my mind?"

she said "into the fire you go into eternal flames, into the fire, into the eternal fire"

Suddenly, there was a big black shape

it came to me and said "come on let's go"

I said "wait a minute you can't do this to me"

he looked back and said "oh, too late"

I've waited to long and I'm dying

into the fire I go, into the eternal flame

into the fire, into the eternal flame

I am dreaming, all of the emotion is gone and I have to go

into the eternal flame, into the fire I go, into eternal flame

L
LAW OF LIFE ("Total Control", 1987)	(soon available)
LET ME LOVE YOU ("Total Control", 1987, "Let Me Love You", 1987)	Looking at my picture on your wall just like a thousand times before If dreaming of me ain't good enough why don't you come to me for more? So close your eyes and your fantasy comes true I'm gonna give you my love so stop feeling blue Let me love you, let me love you Girl you must be crazy if you still believe in all the stories, in their lies Inside your heart you know what you want Why don't you give it? One more try So close your eyes and your fantasy come true I'm gonna give you my love, stop feeling blue Let me love you, let me love you I don't need no excuses, I'm never gonna refuse your love So close your eyes and let your fantasy come true I'm gonna give you my love so stop feeling blue Let me love you, let me love you
LOVE IS MEANT TO LAST FOREVER ("Total Control", 1987; "Love Is Meant (to last forever), 1987)	You are my best friend and I will try to understand the moment, believe me, I'll be there, so just take my hand ‘cause I know that we were meant for each other Don't you run for me ‘cause I make you see Love is meant to last forever oh yeah, love is meant to last forever I never thought you could leave me and I belive you belt to stay But now that it's over, I realize I'm the one to be blamed Hey listen, I know that things will get better So hold on to me ‘cause I make you see Love is meant to last forever, is it too hard to understand? Love is meant to last forever. Why can't you hold on to love? Love is meant to last forever, is it too hard to understand? Love is meant to last forever. Why can't you hold on to love?

SOMEONE

ELSE HERE

("Total Control",

1987)

There's someone else here watching this shadow reaching for you

Riding in my heart, into my soul

There's someone else breathing touching my skin like a warming breeze

What is happening? if I'm losing control or everything that's real to me

Losing you all the time watching you fade away

Trying to hold a line making you change your mind or will I lose my mind?

Looking at a stranger who is watching me (who is watching me)

Making wishes in the night, feel that stranger by my side

There's someone else breathing here, touching my skin like a warming breeze

What is happening? if I'm losing control or everything that's real to me

Losing you all the time, watching you fade away

Trying to hold the line, making you change your mind

TOO MANY

HEARTS

("Total Control", 1987)

Run your hand through your hair, paint your face with despair

If you won't give love to me you are free to run for me

All the years I've seen many ways to go

All the years nobody will ever know

See the fool inside me, breaking far too many hearts

Run your hand through my hair, fill my days with your care

If you can't give love to me I will be more than free

All the years I've seen many ways to go

All the years nobody will ever know

See the fool inside me, breaking far too many hearts

far too many hearts, far too many broken hearts

WE'LL DO

WHAT

IT TAKES

TOGETHER

("Total Control",

1987)

(soon available)

WILD ONE

("Total Control",

1987; "Let Me Love You", 1987)

Wild One won't you please come home, you've been away too long, will you?

We need you home, we need you near, come back wild one, will you?

How can we live without your love?

You know that could kill you. How can we carry on?

When you are gone my wild one, so you go your way

Wild one I'll try and follow and if you change your mind

I will be waiting here for you tomorrow for I would beg for you

I would steal and I would borrow

I'd do anything, anything at all to end this sorrow

Wild One the gypsies warned of the danger

you can laugh and joke with friends but don't you talk to strangers

Although their offers may be sweet I'd bet and I would wager

away you'll stray and never come back to those who love and made you wild one
