Extra Virgin

Miracle

Deeper than deeper was my love for you
Sweeter than sweeter joy
Hoping that every day
You can go your way
I cannot hold you down
Turning the situation 'round a little more
Making it look like things
are just fine
You can go your way
Shudder to think these words were mine

Touching the place that makes it a love thing
Straight to the face, one way love would be a miracle
Touching the place that makes it a love thing
Straight to the face, one way love would be a miracle

Dreamily passing by
Words sort of come and go
Wasting the time of day
I don't know
Don't you smile that way?
Smiling is all I've got left for you
You can go your way
You can go your way

Touching the place that makes it a love thing
Straight to the face, one way love would be a miracle
Touching the place that makes it a love thing
Straight to the face, one way love would be a miracle

Touching the place that makes it a love thing
Straight to the face, one way love would be a miracle
Touching the place that makes it a love thing
Straight to the face, one way love would be a miracle

Touching the place that makes it a love thing
Straight to the face, one way love would be a miracle
Touching the place that makes it a love thing
Straight to the face, one way love would be a miracle

This Time

This time, make no mistake
Resolute and crystal clear
This time I'm ready for you
Complete and without fear
Sweet believer
You must be found
A soul survivor
Who'll stick around
Never let me down

Trouble in mind, It's a question of pride
The standard is high, I couldn't live another lie
I could walk miles if the feeling was right
I'm taking my time, I couldn't live another lie

This time
My eyes will look at you
Searching for better ground
This time
The rules we make will be mine
Stronger than you have found
Clearer than clarity itself
I am no visionary
Why do I enquire of myself
Questioning my inner strength
Too heavy to carry

Trouble in mind, It's a question of pride
The standard is high, I couldn't live another lie
I could walk miles if the feeling was right
I'm taking my time, I couldn't live another lie

Safer Hands

Little hand held high, I reached for you, Innocent and small
Never felt so safe, No wider smile, I had it all
No worries at all, Little girl just three, She couldn't see
What there would be, Clearer than you think, My memory
He treasured me, Protected me

Wherever you have gone to, My mind is settled, You're in safer hands
Although you've gone for good now, My mind is settled, You're in safer hands

The day you left, No warning came, I was sleeping
Maybe it was your undying love, You didn't wake me, didn't take me
Now the years have flown and I have grown, There is a yearning
Give me just one day, to while away, To that I'm drinking: Wishful thinking

Wherever you have gone to, My mind is settled, You're in safer hands
Although you've gone for good now, My mind is settled, You're in safer hands

Even though it's years, So long ago, There is a presence here
If there was some doubt, it's all over now
Of that I'm certain, there's no question

Wherever you have gone to, My mind is settled, You're in safer hands
Although you've gone for good now, My mind is settled, You're in safer hands

Killing

Given the way we're living,
Wouldn't you say we're killing ourselves
Why do you say 'don't worry'
This is the way we're killing ourselves. 

You're Not Alone

In a way, it's all a matter of time
I will not worry for you, You'll be just fine
Take my thoughts with you, and when you look behind
You will surely see a face that you recognize

You're not alone, I'll wait till the end of time
Open your mind, Surely it's plain to see
You're not alone, I'll wait till the end of time for you
Open your mind, Surely there's time to be with me

It is the distance, that makes life a little hard
Two minds that once were close, Now so many miles apart
I will not falter though, I'll hold on till you're home
Safely back where you belong, And see how our love has grown

You're not alone, I'll wait till the end of time
Open your mind, Surely it's plain to see
You're not alone, I'll wait till the end of time for you
Open your mind, Surely there's time to be with me

Falling

In love, In love
In love, In love

Slower than the sun goes down
Softer than the Autumn rain
Surer than the earth is round
Gentle as the moring breeze
Warm enough to sleep and dream
There is no doubt in my mind
I'm falling, (in love), I'm falling, (in love)

Leaves that are falling around me
Make sense to me, a reality
Leaves that are falling surround me
Make all this seem, a reality

Clearer than the morning light
Darker than the deepest night
There is no doubt in my mind
I'm falling, (in love), I'm falling, (in love)

Leaves that are falling around me
Make sense to me, a reality
Leaves that are falling surround me
Make all this seem, a reality

In love, In love

Leaves that are falling around me
Make sense to me, a reality
Leaves that are falling surround me
Make all this seem, a reality

Outlaw

Two faces
Playing with my trust in you
You cover all your traces
And watch me relax with you
Insidious
Creep away and do your deal
Return what you think is you
It couldn't be further from the truth

Cruel, Keeping this a secret
Fool, you surely are
It's so You, Blind to all the damage done
You go too far

Couldn't you have told me before
I would have loved you, So much more
Couldn't you have told me before
Feeling like an outlaw

So you got some
You brought another person
Uncanny how he looks like you
Except there is too much he cannot do
It's not the problem
But the way you shut your mouth was real low
My reputation tainted
I will not accept being the last to know

Cruel, Keeping this a secret
Fool, you surely are
It's so You, Blind to all the damage done
You go too far

Couldn't you have told me before
I would have loved you, So much more
Couldn't you have told me before
Feeling like an outlaw

Cruel, Keeping this a secret
Fool, you surely are
It's so You, Blind to all the damage done
You go too far

Couldn't you have told me before
I would have loved you, So much more
Couldn't you have told me before
Feeling like an outlaw

Blood Red Tears

Lighten up, Give it up
I see a chance to make it up
There's a price for every day
You've just thrown away
I am all I ever was
Didn't change the way I was
Get a grip, Button it
Cool down, Hypocrite

Couldn't you find her? Examine your head
Here's a reminder, Blood red tears were shed
Didn't you need her? Examine your head
Will you remember? Blood red tears were shed

You dispose, I oppose
Couldn't you resist a go
You applaud your reward
I sit here alone
You agree to comfort me
Every day I try to leave
End of feud, Your attitude
Worn there on your sleeve

Couldn't you find her? Examine your head
Here's a reminder, Blood red tears were shed
Didn't you need her? Examine your head
Will you remember? Blood red tears were shed

Couldn't you find her? Examine your head
Here's a reminder, Blood red tears were shed
Didn't you need her? Examine your head
Will you remember? Blood red tears were shed

They tell me to go, I lie that I know, He cries so unkindly

Couldn't you find her? Examine your head
Here's a reminder, Blood red tears were shed
Didn't you need her? Examine your head
Will you remember? Blood red tears were shed 

Curious

Straight as a dye
On us we rely
Yet watch how my head is turning
Distracting my eye

It's no reflection on you, yet who would believe me
Troubled by the thought of it, I can't deny

That I'm curious, never meant to hurt you
Just curious, I can't deny
That I'm curious, never have decieved you
Just curious, I cannot lie

Give me a reason
I'll hide my delight
Shamelessly I'll seize the moment
Just my needs in sight

It's no reflection on you, yet who would believe me
Troubled by the thought of it, I can't deny

That I'm curious, never meant to hurt you
Just curious, I can't deny
That I'm curious, never have decieved you
Just curious, I cannot lie

It's no reflection on you, yet who would believe me
Troubled by the thought of it, I can't deny

That I'm curious, never meant to hurt you
Just curious, I can't deny
That I'm curious, never have decieved you
Just curious, I cannot lie

You Are Nothing

You allude to everything negative there was
Making out that's all we had
Couldn't you believe that there would be an end to it
All the good could be that bad

There is just one thing to say
There's a lesson here to learn, Can you use it in any way?
You are nothing without my love

Couldn't care if you decide today and run away
Always said we'd be apart
Wouldn't care if you begin, your life with someone else
You'd be back before you start

There is just one thing to say
There's a lesson here to learn, Can you use it in any way?

You are nothing without, You are nothing without,
You are nothing without my love

Laissez-faire approach is all you ever gave to me
Either way you didn't care
Maybe if you had the honesty you need to see
I'll wager everything you wouldn't dare

You are nothing without, You are nothing without,
You are nothing without my love

I Don't Think So

Don't stand in the open
Take a walk with me
Just come and see
Let me clear your vision
End my misery
Fait a' compli

I fear my brain is getting clear
Don't stand so close, you're far too near

Love the life you lead
Just to lead the life you love
I don't think so

So much for the journey
I must stop this ride or we'll slip and slide
Stand firm and be counted
Let them know your mind
The truth's unkind

I fear my brain is getting clear
Don't stand so close, you're far too near

Love the life you lead
Just to lead the life you love
I don't think so

I fear my brain is getting clear
Don't stand so close, you're far too near

Love the life you lead
Just to lead the life you love
I don't think so

Trickle

Love affair

When you find someone to make your dream
They respond with loving care
His reluctance to contrive his life
Her apparent debonair

In the wake of what she called her right
Here was something they could share
His belief that he was on her side
Her illicit love affair

Long lost love affair
You're not so strange
What you have spared for them
Needed to change
Should always have to change
Always have to change

When their love was all but lost at sea
Quite unable to be seen
In the depths of their subconscious minds
There was something evergreen

If you wipe away her tears you'll find
Bitter sweet humility
It's the  backbone of his dignity
What it took to make her see

Long lost love affair
You're not so strange
What you have spared for them
Needed to change

Long lost love affair
You're not so strange
What you have spared for them
Needed to change

Always have to change
Should always have to change

Always have to change
Should always have to change

Trickle

Trickle down my sadness
Watch it fall and wash away
Now that I've got this far I'm leaving you
Never coming back to hear you say

Missing you has pained my day
Come to me and hear you say
All that we have gone through can't you see that it's enough
Fight for us don't throw it all away

If you want me back
You won't hear me say
Fight for us fight for us

Trickle down my sadness
Watch it fall and wash away
Now that I've got this far I'm missing you
Never coming back to hear you say

Leaving you has pained my day
Come to me and hear you say
All that we have gone through can't you see that it's enough
Fight for us don't throw it all away

If you want me back
You won't hear me say
Fight for us fight for us

If you come my way
You won't hear me say
Fight for us fight for us ???

Trickle down my sadness
Watch it fall and wash away
Now that I've got this far I'm leaving you
Never coming back to hear you say

Missing you has pained my day
Come to me and hear you say
All that we have gone through can't you see that it's enough
Fight for us don't throw it all away

If .... say
If .... say

If you want me back
You won't hear me say
Fight for us fight for us

If you come my way
You won't hear me say
Fight for us don't throw away

If you want me back
You won't hear me say
Fight for us fight for us

If you come my way
You won't hear me say
Fight for us don't throw away

If you come my way
You won't hear me say

I'm not in love

( From the motion picture soundtrack of The next Best Thing )

I'm not in love, so don't forget it
It's just a silly phase i'm going through
And just because i call you up,
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no, no, it's because

I like to see you, but then again,
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if i call you, don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
I'm not in love, no, no, it's because

I keep your picture upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
So don't you ask me to give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love, no, no, it's because

Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh, you'll wait a long time (x2)

I'm not in love, so don't forget it
It's just a silly phase i'm going through
And just because i call you up,
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, i'm not in love

*** Thanx a lot to Adrian for this one ***

Smile

Smile, you'll steal away my soul
Smile, I'll hide away and cry
My mind's made up
I will shudder to see your eyes
Smile no doubt I'll keep my pride
But It may be hard to find

There's nothing left
Handed down your legacy
But more regret
Painted on with empathy

Smile, don't complicate my time
Smile don't ask me if I'm fine
My world blown down
There is nothing that words can say
Smile, no doubt I'll keep my pride
But it may be hard to find

There's nothing left
Handed down your legacy
But more regret
Painted on with empathy

There's nothing left, there's nothing left

Smile, you'll steal away my soul
Smile, I'll hide away and cry
There's nothing left
Handed down your legacy

Smile, you'll steal away my soul
Smile, I'll hide away and cry
There's nothing left
Handed down your legacy
Smile, no doubt I'll keep my pride
But it may be hard to find

If only you had tried
Going to leave it far behind
It may be hard to find
If only you had tried
Going to leave it far behind

All you ever needed

( You got me wrong, completely wrong 
You got me wrong, completely wrong )

I hope you're happy where you are
You've been heading there for some time
It'snot like you to complain
But then it's not like you imagined
Life has changed but you shouldn't do
I'll remain the same around you

Don't be blind, look where you're coming from
It's all you ever needed
( You got me wrong, completely wrong )
You' ll find fault with me warning you
Advice you should have heeded
( You got me wrong, completely wrong )
( You got me wrong, completely wrong completely wrong )

Over time you can find a way
Stop looking out for some sign
There's a place now where you belong
Just to make it right in your mind

I'm just trying to make you see
You're the only one you have to be

Don't be blind, look where you're coming from
It's all you ever needed
( You got me wrong, completely wrong )
You' ll find fault with me warning you
Advice you should have heeded
( You got me wrong, completely wrong )
( You got me wrong, completely wrong completely wrong )

Life has changed but you shouldn't do
i'll remain the same around you
( You got me wrong, completely wrong completely wrong )

You' ll find fault with me warning you
Advice you should have heeded
( You got me wrong, completely wrong )
Don't be blind, look where you're coming from
It's all you ever needed
( You got me wrong, completely wrong )

You' ll find fault with me warning you
Advice you should have heeded
( You got me wrong, completely wrong )
( You got me wrong, completely wrong )
( You got me wrong, completely wrong ) ...

Indulge me

My latest little mood
A darker shade of blue
Still I draw closer to you

My pretty little dress
Begins to look a mess
Infatuation come through

Enlighten me with you
Look at things the way you do
Indulge me please
I'll take the breath you breathe

Take heart I'm telling you
My life has come too soon
But somewhere I'll find some time

In every other way
You've told me what to say
These final words now are mine

Enlighten me with you
Look at things the way you do
Indulge me please
I'll take the breath you breathe

Make the dream come true
Show me how to comfort you
Indulge me please
I'll take the breath you breathe

You may have walked away
But we're still as close
As when I gazed
Deep in your gentle eyes

Enlighten me with you
Look at things the way you do
Indulge me please
I'll take the breath you breathe

Make the dream come true
Show me how to comfort you
Indulge me please
I'll take the breath you breathe

Enlighten me with you
Look at things the way you do
Indulge me please
I'll take the breath you breathe

Make the dream come true
Show me how to comfort you
Indulge me please
I'll take the breath you breathe

Enlighten me with you
Look at things the way you do
Indulge me please
I'll take the breath you breathe

Make the dream come true
Show me how to comfort you
Indulge me please
I'll take the breath you breathe

Speak to me

I've seen something new
Seems that it's in you
Now there's something I must do

There's so much more
to forgive you for
But nothing said
My lips unread

I'll try something new
Open up to you
What more can my conscience do

There's so much more
To forgive you for

Speak to me
Nothing will help more than your honesty
Give to me
Knowledge that I can show some sympathy

Speak to me
Speak to me

Broken into two
Once torn now made new
The first time, I'm embracing you

There's so much more
To forgive you for
But nothing said
My lips unread

Speak to me
Nothing will help more than your honesty
Give to me
Knowledge that I can show some sympathy

There's so much more
To forgive you for
But nothing said
My lips unread

Speak to me
Nothing will help more than your honesty
Give to me
Knowledge that I can show some sympathy

Speak to me
Nothing will help more than your honesty
Give to me
Knowledge that I can show some sympathy

Speak to me
Speak to me

Liberty

There's a gentleness within
There's a kindness that she'll bring
Through her eyes of sadness lies
All her love for him
Imprisoned every day
A handsome price to pay

Even when she's done her time
She'll insist that life's just fine
Someday soon she'll make her move
Seize her chance to shine
It's all that she can do
To free herself from you

It's her liberty ( that she wants you to see )
It's her liberty ( that she wants you to see )
Where has all her life blood gone
Will you ever see
Even if she understood
Is it written that she should

Come and see him when she's gone
He's surprised but knows he's wrong
A simple case of do or die
And now sh'es cut and run
Your vision let you down
You almost let her drown

It's her liberty ( that she wants you to see )
It's her liberty ( that she wants you to see )
Where has all her life blood gone
Will you ever see
Even if she understood
Is it written that she should

Where has all her life blood gone
Wil you ever see
Even if she understood
Is it written that she should

It's her liberty ( that she wants you to see )
It's her liberty ( that she wants you to see )
Where has all her life blood gone
Will you ever see
Even if she understood
Is it written that she should

It's her liberty ( that she wants you to see )
It's her liberty ( that she wants you to see )
Where has all her life blood gone
Will you ever see
Even if she understood
Is it written that she should

Push

Like what you see
Love what you hear
Smile when you feel
My foolish tear

I'll break my silence now
Hold back my pride
I'll stake my claim on this
In me I'll confide

Will you leave before the dawn
( Please tell me )
Will I push or do you fall
( Don't make me )
With the time you've had to learn
( Please tell me )
Some respect is all you'll earn

Try as I might
I've seen no light
Must I believe in this
You feed on greed

Sometimes I fight myself
Question my mind
Then I remember you
Boasting your find

Will you leave before the dawn
( Please tell me )
Will I push or do you fall
( Don't make me )
With the time you've had to learn
( Please tell me )
Some respect is all you'll earn

I'll break my silence now
What's there to hide
I'll stake my claim on this
Proof that you've lied

Trust you

I don't know what I'm supposed to have said
But I can imagine what's in your head
It's not that you don't trust all that I do
It's just that you would have if it were you

Trust me, tell me
Truthfully, you can
Trust me, tell me
Faithfuly, you can
Trust me, trust you

I'm starting to question why I am here
Your constant suspicions don't make it clear
Just leave it, believe me I'll show the signs
You'll find her, the cheat that you have in mind

I have nothing to hide
And what could I deny

Trust me, tell me
Truthfully, you can
Trust me, tell me
Faithfuly, you can
Trust me, trust you

I have nothing to hide
And what could I deny

Trust me, tell me
Truthfully, you can
Trust me, tell me
Faithfuly, you can
Trust me, trust you

Trust me, tell me
Truthfully, you can
Trust me, tell me
Faithfuly, you can
Trust me, trust you

Creature of comfort

What he has is yours to find
It's a wonder what he keeps in his selfish mind
What I need's not carved in stone
But when honestly's in doubt he can stand alone

He is a creature of comfort
Don't think he'll change
Making the most of what he has
I'm going to suffer no shame
Creature of comfort
Don't think he'll change
Wasting the best years of my life
I'm going to shoulder no blame

I'm not sure what he'll do
His priority is him, selfless thoughts are few
May I be just once so bold
If it's all I ever do, I'll make sure your told

He is a creature of comfort
Don't think he'll change
Making the most of what he has
I'm going to suffer no shame
Creature of comfort
Don't think he'll change
Wasting the best years of my life
I'm going to shoulder no blame

He is a creature of comfort
Don't think he'll change
Making the most of what he has
I'm going to suffer no shame
Creature of comfort
Don't think he'll change
Wasting the best years of my life
I'm going to shoulder no blame

Come with me make my day
With no shadow of a doubt I'll make sure you'll pay
Watch my face, time runs by
After all you've ever done, you won't see me cry

Creature of comfort
Best years of my life

Beyond the fray

Take someone you know
They have climbed the highest tree
You'd think the fight was won
Take a look around

A smile should now appear
Beaming brightly ear to ear
Consolidate your stride
On solid ground

But what you see is all for show
There is no meaner man to know
You can't run back to what you had
You're all alone

I'll mark the day
When we can' meet beyond the fray
Don't lose the will to see your home
You'll find a way
So we can meet beyong the fray
I'll fight to see that you get home

Consider this small clue
look beyong your point of view
Make a space for honesty
To hide

Much of what you do
Smacks of one whose friends are few
Do the decent thing and jump
The ride

But what you see is all for show
There is no meaner man to know
You can't run back to what you had
You're all alone

I'll mark the day
When we can' meet beyond the fray
Don't lose the will to see your home
You'll find a way
So we can meet beyong the fray
I'll fight to see that you get home

But what you see is all for show
There is no meaner man to know
You can't run back to what you had
You're all alone

I'll mark the day
When we can' meet beyond the fray
Don't lose the will to see your home
You'll find a way
So we can meet beyong the fray
I'll fight to see that you get home

I'll mark the day
So we can meet beyond the fray
Don't lose the will to see your home
