We're simple minds
we're simple minds
still we want it all
and things go fast
make us miss the most
of what life can bring to us
of what life can mean to us
she left a scar
she was too well read
and i was the one who was so impressed
i never dared to speak from my heart
seasons change
and i'm still the same
i never can tell what's inside me
and heaven knows it isn't that much
we'll travel far
just to feel at all
when we're home
and we're on our own
we can't look after ourselves
or anyone else
she left a scar
she was too well read
and i was the one who was so impressed
i never dared to speak from my heart
seasons change
and i'm still the same
i never can tell what's inside me
and heaven knows it isn't that much
spring came, rain fell | lyrics index
Spring came, rain fell
waiting for the big fall
to take us all
quiet nights and desperate love
we need it all
spring came
rain fell
we ended up nowhere
then june came
sun shone
are we still nowhere?
someone come and take me away
no need to stay
when life itself is making you old
just take my soul
spring came
rain fell
we ended up nowhere
then june came
sun shone
are we still nowhere?
if you want me now
you don't have to try so hard
if you want me now
you don't have to try at all
spring came
rain fell
we ended up nowhere
then june came
sun shone
are we still nowhere?

spring came, rain fell | lyrics index
Close to me
alison, i've been giving you quite some time
and given time, don't you think that i deserve some?
please give in
cause i've been waiting
please give in
cause i've been wasting away
now i feel i'm stuck in between
it's a shame that you won't come
close to me
alison, sometimes i think you'd rather let me go
and given that, don't you think i ought to know
please give in
cause i've been waiting
please give in
cause i've been wasting away
now i feel i'm stuck in between
it's a shame that you won't come
close to me
a substitute for love, desperate needs
maybe this is all
this is me
spring came, rain fell | lyrics index
Baby, I'm not sure if this is love
lovers keep their secrets
baby, i'm not sure if this is love
and love can make us greedy
baby i don't think that's for us
it's not for me to be
lovers keep their distance
maybe they don't like what they see
and love can make us jealous
baby there's no right for me to be
it's not for me to see
if we give in
maybe we'll be like them
i don't want the sadness
to be ours too
baby there's no pressure
on you
lovers keep their secrets
baby, i'm not sure if this is love
and love can make us greedy
baby i don't think that's for us
it's not for me to be
if we give in
maybe we'll be like them
i don't want the sadness
to be ours too
baby there's no pressure
on you
lovers keep their secrets
baby, i'm not sure if this is love
spring came, rain fell | lyrics index
The chance I deserve
you can say
i was mean and cruel
baby you know, that is not right
things were strange
when i was far away
now i'm here
to make things right
give me half
(i'm easy to please now)
give me half the chance i deserve
(i'm where you want me to be)
cause i'm so f***** up right now
(i'm eager to please now)
you can say
i was mean and cruel
baby you know, that is not right
things were strange
when i was far away
now i'm here
to make things right
give me half
(i'm easy to please now)
give me half the chance i deserve
(i'm where you want me to be)
cause i'm so f***** up right now
(i'm eager to please now)
go on with what you're saying
we've been falling
so many times it won't hurt me
no more
give me half
(i'm easy to please now)
give me half the chance i deserve
(i'm where you want me to be)
cause i'm so f***** up right now
(i'm eager to please now)

I give up too
if there's a desire

Friends and lovers
friends and lovers are gone
and then your parents change into teachers
do you think they would let you know
if anything's wrong?
if you rise you fall again
it's bad from time to time
and i say it as a friend
your only friend
now's the time to grow cold
as days go on and on with no reason
lock yourself in and stay inside
never go out
if you rise you fall again
it's bad from time to time
and i say it as a friend
your only friend
spring came, rain fell | lyrics index
Teenage life
teenage love
crushing every heart
the young can go far
then they take it all
i want to go there
a boy at 15
shy and clumsy
he feels it all
a girl at 16
who'll drop out of school soon
this is her time
teenage dreams
everyone's a star
some may go far
others fall so hard
i want to be them
a boy at 15
shy and clumsy
he feels it all
a girl at 16
who'll drop out of school soon
this is her time
fall every season
in love without reason
it's a teenage life
hate every teacher
listen to no one
it's a teenage life
a boy at 15
shy and clumsy
he feels it all
a girl at 16
who'll drop out of school soon
this is her time

Karen song
karen's got a house now
somewhere by the water
it's quiet and dark but she's happy
so i can only wish her well
i'm still a dreamer
stuck with myself all the time
can i go now
don't make me beg
make me believe
it's no mistake
when i see
nothing belongs
to me now
take me out and show me
a future that sparkles and shines
i want to leave now
don't make me beg
make me believe
it's no mistake
when i see
nothing belongs
to me now

The girl with the northern soul collection
red headed girl
with a northern soul collection
she says she has to move
cause the money's gone
she shouldn't have to do that
if there's a desire
that could take you higher
i know you'll be there on time
don't go where your friends are
they're not where the lights are
someone's going to take you home tonight
poor trendy girl
with an inner city lifestyle
can only pay the rent
for a loser's flat
she shouldn't have to go there
why the frown?
now you're hard on yourself
club kids of the world unite
to help you now
if there's a desire
that could take you higher
i know you'll be there on time
don't go where your friends are
they're not where the lights are
someone's going to take you home tonight
spring came, rain fell | lyrics index
