Addicted 03:29
I’m addicted to your lips Yeah I got to have my fix Cuz I’m addicted, addicted to your lips I’m addicted to your eyes Yeah you must keep me supplied Cuz I’m addicted, a victim of your eyes Cuz there is nothing I can’t do Once I’ve had a shot of you Man you fix it, and I’m addicted I’m addicted to your smile Yeah it shoots me up in style And I’m addicted, afflicted by your smile I’m addicted to your skin Can I be your heroine? Cuz I’m addicted, you’ve got to let me in Cuz there is nothing I can’t do Once I’ve had a shot of you Man you fix it, and I’m addicted I feel so high you’ve got me hooked Cuz I’m all fired by the way you look Man you fix it, and I’m addicted I’m addicted to your kiss Man that hit can never miss Cuz I’m addicted, convicted by your kiss I’m addicted to your love Can’t seem to get enough Cuz I’m addicted, inflict me with your love There is nothing I can’t do Once I’ve had a shot of you Man you fix it, and I’m addicted Feel so high you’ve got me hooked Cuz I’m all fired by the way you look Man you fix it, and I’m addicted It’s sick and twisted Can’t resist it Don’t wanna kick it Can’t contradict it I’m just addicted to your love Dictated by your love
2.
I resign from love, feel I‘ve had enough Of walks in the park, talks in the dark It starts out so well, but ends up in hell I’ll give up on men and just be everybody’s friend I’ve had enough of being stood up Though that’s not as tough as when they turn up But then don’t call again, and never explain You’re left with the thrill of taking the morning after pill I resign from love, cuz I’ve had quite enough I’d rather be free, and only love me I resign from love I’m too insecure to ever feel sure Cuz love in the past never would last So now I must decline spending my time With someone who cares, I don’t trust them to play fair I resign from love (I resign, ain’t got no time for love) Cuz I’ve had quite enough (I resign, ain’t got time enough) I’d rather be free, and only love me I resign from love (I resign, ain't got time for love) Can’t spend endless days feeling afraid That love could go wrong, so I just wrote this song To say don’t even ask, I’m not up to the task I quit from that scene, and it feels serene I resign from love (I resign, ain’t got no time for love) Cuz I’ve had way too much (I resign I have had too much) I feel more empowered since I’ve thrown in the towel, I resign from love (I resign, ain’t got time for love) I resign from love (I resign, ain’t got no time for love) Cuz I’ve had quite enough (I resign, ain’t got time enough) I’d rather be free, and only love me So before I get sacked for requirements I lack I resign from love
3.
If you don’t love me Then just leave me I will be OK I don’t need you So believe me You can go today If you don’t love me If you don’t love me You can go your way You criticise me Then patronise me That doesn’t feel like love Once I was perfect Said I was worth it Now I’m not good enough If you don’t want me Why do you taunt me? You can go your way If you don’t love me Think you’re above me I don’t want you to stay Don’t waste my time I will be fine If you don’t love me If you don’t want me Why do you taunt me? You can go your way If you don’t love me Think you’re above me I don’t want you to stay Don’t waste my time I will be fine If you don’t love me Just let me know You’re free to go Just let me go Then I will know If you don’t love me
4.
The sun is smiling But I’m not shining Cuz all I’m finding Is shadows and light that’s blinding And I’m not buying The line about the silver lining Cuz clouds surround me everyday Looks like they’re here to stay No, I can’t come out to play Cuz I just don’t know what to do with this beautiful day Yeah I wish that all these happy people would fade away Cuz the sun doesn’t understand me, doesn’t care if I get burnt, Or if I’m feeling hurt I thought you loved me I thought you cared That’s what it seemed to mean, The way you were always there But all that promise melted in the sun Now all I have are fantasies, things I wish we’d done When I thought you were the one Now I just don’t know what to do with this beautiful day Should be sitting in a park, could be drinking in a café But the sun doesn’t understand me, doesn’t care if I get burnt Or if I’m feeling hurt I guess I could go somewhere far, far away Where the air is cold just like your heart And I would go today so I could make you pay If I thought you maybe cared that we’re apart That would be a start But I just don’t know what to do with this beautiful day Yeah I wish that all these happy people would fade away Cuz the sun doesn’t understand me, doesn’t care if I get burnt No, I just don’t know what to do with this beautiful day Should be sitting in a park, could be drinking in a café But the sun doesn’t understand me, so I’m waiting for the rain So I can cry again
5.
She's Not Me 02:38
I know that things aren’t happy in your world Cuz you left me for some boring other girl But you can have my sympathy Cuz she just ain’t as cool as me No, she’s not me (she is not me) At last I can go out with all my mates Yeah, all the ones I know you used to hate But you can never feel carefree, Thinking what you had with me Cuz she’s not me (she is not me) She’s not me She can never be She can never replace me Can tell by the way You cannot face me Now you see She’s not me (she is not me, she is not me) And now I see your new love’s wearing thin Cuz things aren’t quite so good since she moved in And she must live in purgatory Knowing you still think of me Cuz she’s not me (she is not me) She’s not me However much you may want her to be She is not as cool as me You gave me away foolishly Now you see She’s not me (she is not me, she is not me, she is not me) She may be a match for you Still she ain’t a patch on me I’ll get a better catch than you You weren’t that great actually Now I see He’s not me Cuz he’s not free He is not me (he is not me, he is not me, he is not me)
6.
You say you cannot love me, And act like you’re above me Half the time I know that someone hurt you But didn’t they desert you Cuz you’re mine? You put my love on trial I think you’re in denial Or maybe you don’t love me But your eyes, your eyes say otherwise And your smile meanwhile’s not in denial But your lips, your lips are hypocrites To dismiss the way they kiss (I say otherwise) Loving me would be wrong Does it make you feel strong To ignore me? I understand that feeling But you can’t help revealing You adore me Move a little nearer Love is just a mirror Yeah maybe you don’t love me But your eyes and I say otherwise And your smile meanwhile’s not in denial But your lips, your lips are hypocrites To dismiss the way they kiss (I say otherwise) Or maybe I imagine too much Could be I’m way of touch Cuz you say you don’t love me… as such Well go ahead deny that you want to even try But your eyes and I say otherwise And your smile meanwhile’s not in denial But your lips, your lips are hypocrites To dismiss the way they kiss (I say otherwise) The way we kissed (I say otherwise)
7.
We met too soon, my whole life felt out of tune I was still dealing with a love that left no feeling Looking back I wish I had another chance to be with you If I had another chance then I’d make you see You belong with me In another world I could have loved you In another world I could have made you see You belong with me and how we could be In another world It felt like heaven, every second spent together But I was too clever to get caught up in forever Looking back I was mad not to see just what I had Looking back I was bad, went in search of something new When I had it all with you In another world I could have loved you In another world I could have made you see You belong with me And how we could be In another world (in another world) In another world (in another world) In another world (I could be your girl) In another world Looking back I wish I had another chance to be with you If I had just one more chance, then I’d make you see How good we could be In another world I could have loved you In another world I could have made you see You belong with me And how we could be In another world (in another world) In another world (in another world) In another world (I could be your girl) In another world I’d make you see how good we could be I’d make you see you belong with me I’d make you mine in another time In another world I’d be your girl In another world I could have loved you In another world I would have loved you In another world See you sometime In another world

Tell me your troubles, so I forget all mine Are you on my side against the tyranny of time? Save me, save me from thinking about it Is it already autumn? Are the lines beginning to show? Well, I may have gained some wisdom But who wants to know, who wants to know? How can I go out when I don’t feel anything? Can’t stand the distance conversation seems to bring Save me, save me from thinking about it Is it already autumn? Oh where did the seasons go? Well I may have gained some wisdom But who wants to know, who wants to know? I can tell that it’s already autumn By the colours of the leaves But the sadness of this season Somehow brings it’s own relief, it’s own re-leaf Well, I got this far, that is something in itself And I’m quite rich if all experience is wealth I won’t fear, one more year, oh no Well, it’s already autumn, And the nights are drawing in, I’ll just wait here for the winter and what.. Whatever it may bring Yes, it’s already autumn There’s so much I haven’t done, But at least when I look back I will say I had some fun, I had some fun Is it already autumn? Is it already autumn? Is it already autumn? Already autumn
9.
I see you clearly now love’s gone I know what was really going on It wasn’t working, troubles were lurking for so long We tried pretending, knew it was ending, just felt wrong Gotta let it all go, gotta let it all go This pain won’t last Gotta let it all go, gotta let it all go This too shall pass Told me where I went wrong, tried to hurt me Did you think your harsh words could convert me? Pain you created, world that you hated... you built it Not what I’m needing, you got me pleading not guilty Gotta let it all go, gotta let it all go This hell won’t last Gotta let it all go, gotta let it all go This too shall pass Like cars on the road on my way home Love comes and goes, we’re alone Like waves on a beach, such a pure release Know I‘ve gotta leave, find peace Gotta let it all go, gotta let it all go This hell can't last Gotta let it all go, gotta let it all go This too shall pass Gotta let it all go, gotta let it all go Life moves so fast Gotta let it all go, gotta let it all go This too shall pass This too shall pass This too shall pass This too shall pass

Ghost Ship 03:38
All aboard the ghost ship Our love is lost at sea Though we still sail this ocean Emotion has gone from me All aboard the ghost ship We drift with the tide Though we still cross the water We’re haunted by love that’s died Eight bells will ring for me What occurred is a mystery Rivets have turned to rust Love to dust As all things must All aboard the ghost ship No soul is left on deck But we still keep on sailing We cling to the wreck All aboard the ghost ship Our love was lost at sea Though we still sail this ocean Our devotion is history Though we still sail this ocean Our devotion is history
11.
You were born under brighter skies Let the dawn light up your eyes So you can shine All the time And when your days turn dark and grey Find a way to get out and play Cuz when you have fun You are the sun So when it rains When you feel in pain Just be a child again The ocean waves at a cotton sky But the clouds won’t play they’re a little shy Just watch them race They’ll find their place We’ll build a castle on a seashell shore Are thrilled as faster as we see gulls soar Cos it’s us who know Where mermaids go When you’re on your own You are not alone You can be a child again On white horses we’ll ride away To find the source of the guiding rays From the evening sun Where dreams are spun Up a cobweb ladder to the darker sky Past the soft moon madder than the stars we’ll fly We’ll run so high Then wonder why All that we’ve learned Is how much we yearn To be a child again So when it rains Never feel ashamed To be a child again
12.
I’m a legend in my bedroom I’m in heaven I’m a star I’m a legend in my bedroom I’ve got seven guitars I never get lonely when I’m alone I’m my one and only when I’m at home It’s like I’ve always known I’m a legend in my bedroom I’ve got vodka and wine I’m a legend in my bedroom So it’s all back to mine People come by and play me their songs Feelings are high when we sing along All night long Cuz I’m a legend (I’m a legend) In my bedroom (in my bedroom) I’m a legend in my bedroom This is where I rule I’m a legend in my bedroom And it’s very cool Listen to me cuz you are my guest You have to agree I always know best I am very blessed Cuz I’m a legend (I’m a legend) In my bedroom (in my bedroom) But sometimes I think I need to get out more Then I just have a drink and I think... what for? It’s me I adore... and I’m a legend I’m a legend in my bedroom Think it’s gone to my head I’m a legend in my bedroom Got two men in my bed My reputation has gone for a song Things that I’ve wanted for so long Now feel very wrong Still I’m a legend (I’m a legend) In my bedroom (in my bedroom) I’m a legend in my bedroom I’m in heaven with the stars I’m a legend in my bedroom I’ve got seven guitars I never get lonely when I’m alone I’m my one and only when I’m at home It’s like I’ve always known That I’m a legend
13.
Take me away From the everyday Need some escape There’s only so much I can take I need stars and rockets, stars and rockets All I’m asking for is stars and rockets Shoot me out there far away into space Shot like your eyes In flames your faith has died You took me inside Then laughed when I cried for Stars and rockets, stars and rockets You talked about it then forgot it all You shut me out there, shot me out into space Where there’s stars and rockets, stars and rockets But all I really need are stars and rockets, Far away from your world I will stay with the stars Back on the ground Hope you find what I’ve found When you’re feeling down Look me up, and I’ll surround you with Stars and rockets, stars and rockets All I have to give are stars and rockets To shoot you out there, far away into space Where there’s stars and rockets, stars and rockets But all we ever need are stars and rockets, Far away from this world we will stay with the stars All I’m asking for is the stars All I’m asking for is the stars Is the stars Stars and rockets, stars and rockets All we ever need are stars are rockets Far away from this world we will stay Where there’s stars and rockets, stars and rockets All I’m asking for is stars and rockets Shoot me out there far away into space With the stars All I’m asking for is the stars Is the stars etc (From the first to the last we are made from the stars)

Mike & Jane Hopkins

"I liked 'If You Don't Love Me'. But also, maybe even more: 'Beautiful Day', in fact, all the slower ones perhaps - when I got the full measure of your voice, which is beautiful. It really is a terrific CD. A super production and design."
