Steal Your Heart Away (Paul Brady)

I know you’ve got a different picture in mind
Some dream world of a different kind
I know this rhythm we’ve been moving to is way too slow
Each time our bodies are supposed to meet
I’m here still missing the beat
And when I look at you I see in your eyes
We’re still dancing to a different tune

Chorus

Take me to your dreaming place
Open up my eyes
Let me see what it takes to be
Your lover in disguise
Show me how I do those things
That make you wanna stay
‘Cos I’ll go crazy if I don’t find
The words I gotta say
to steal your heart away

I buy you diamonds, buy you golden rings
And all kinds of beautiful things
But that don’t matter to a lover with a restless heart
‘Cos you still want to wake up to a different scene
Some screen gem like the one in your dream
And leave me standing like a fool in the wings
Still waiting for a part to play

Repeat Chorus

I know you think he’s right for you
That he’s in tune with what you do
That he can touch you deep inside
Where all your deepest feelings lie
But I got somethin’ you should know
Before he starts to hurt you so
‘Cos you can bet your life he’s gonna hurt you

And maybe you feel that it’s all right
to leave me waiting every night
to put me down in company
In front of everyone we see
To take my lovin’ when it’s free
And then to throw it back at me
Well baby I just can’t stand it

‘Cos I can be the one for you
And I can make your dream come true
And I can love you like he can
‘Cos fancy clothes don’t make no man
Believe me baby
I got what it takes to make you feel good

And maybe you think a man should be
As perfect as one man can be
To love you when you’re feeling down
And miss you when you’re not around
Well I can’t be that one for you
I can only be the one that loves you

Hey, what’s this on your mind?
hey, what’s this change of mind?
Hey, what’s this on your mind?

The Soul Commotion (Paul Brady)

When your man does a number
Pickin’ you to put the blame on
Make you feel like he’s the only one
Ever had such a bring down
With the whole world’s problems
Sittin’ right there on his shoulder
And all you needed was your own space
Come and move to the music

When your mamma hit the low line
With the tears brimmin’ over
Say she need another lifetime
We all need another lifetime!
And you be hip to the problem
But right now you don’t have no answer
‘Cos all you’re needing is your own space
Come ‘n’ dance to the music

Can you feel the feeling?
Can you feel the motion?
Make you wanna kick your shoes off
Make you wanna let your hair down
Make you wanna move your body
With your eyes wide open
Can you feel the feeling
Of the Soul Commotion?

Chorus

Let me take you to the Soul Commotion
Wanna dance to the Soul Commotion
Rock steady to the Soul Commotion
Take a chance on the Soul Commotion

Listen out for the music
Music never tell you no lie
Music only wanna thrill you
Like your own dream lover
Hittin’ you in all the right spots
Where the pain keep a-hurtin’
Make you open up the floodgates
Wash away the confusion

Can you feel etc

Repeat Chorus twice

Paradise Is Here (Paul Brady)

You say you wanna live some
Move out into the fast lane
You say you need excitement
To make you come alive
Some place a million miles from
The shadows that surround you

I look for your attention
You’re lost out in the future
Where lovers ask no questions
And shadows never fall
Some pilgrim bound for paradise
No compromise

Chorus

But paradise is here
It’s time to stop your crying
The future is this moment
And not some place out there
Tonight I need your love
Don’t talk about tomorrow
Right now, I need your loving
Right now, give it to me
Right now, I want your loving
Right now, give it to me
Right now

You talk about your new plans
To move on up the stairway
You dream about the high life
That’s waiting for you there
A world of fame and fortune
That’s just around the corner
But I don’t need no high life
To make me feel a real man
And I don’t need to reach for
No castles in the sky
Just put your arms around me
Devour me

Repeat Chorus

‘Cos paradise etc

It’s Gonna Work Out Fine ( McCoy/ Mc Kinney)

Darlin’ I been to see the preacher man
Darlin’ I started making wedding plans
If your love is half as true
As the love I have for you
Oh darlin’ I think it’s gonna work out fine

Baby, you started gettin’ next to me
Darlin’ I had to let that message be
Your love sets my soul on fire
Can’t you see you’re my one desire
Oh darlin’ I think it’s gonna work out fine

Chorus

I think it’s gonna work out fine
I think it’s gonna work out fine
I think it’s gonna work out fine
I’m so glad that you’re mine all mine

Remember, you used to call me Dapper Dan
I was the killer, your ever-ready loving man
lots of women used to be my speed
Now pretty baby you’re all I need
Oh darlin’ I think it’s gonna work out fine
Yes it is
Believe me baby
I think it’s gonna work out fine

The Awakening (Paul Brady)

So many years of reaching out for words unspoken
So many nights of saving love for no-one there
So many hearts that break when promises are broken
How long before you find the answer to your prayer?
It’s the awakening
It’s the awakening

How high the road that leads us on from sweet surrender
How soft the wind that waits to speed us on our way
How young and foolish were we still to be pretending
That we could make our love grow any other way

It’s the awakening
(Tonight you see her with different eyes)
It’s the awakening
(Tonight you know where your happiness lies)

Chorus

And if you’re looking for the answer to your questions
Look inside
And if you’re wondering why your heart is always restless
Look inside

Could you and I forget the times when we were strangers?
When all the beauty that we shared was swept away
When every avenue we walked would lead to nowhere
Could you and I forget the tears of yesterday?

It’s the awakening
(And you can leave all the sadness behind)
It’s the awakening
(And now you’re ready to find peace of mind)
It’s the awakening

And if you’re looking for the answer to your questions
Look inside
And if your wondering why your heart is always restless
Look inside

It’s the awakening
(And you can dry all the tears from your eyes)
It’s the awakening
(And you don’t have to invent a disguise)
It’s the awakening
(tonight you know where your happiness lies)
It’s the awakening
(The sun is up and the future is bright)

Eat The Peach (Paul Brady/ Donal Lunny)

You live each day
And never know the reason why you live each day
Until you find another way of seeing things
A way that’s real
It’s you against eternity
Alive, you’re alive!

It’s such a crime
That everybody seems to think it’s such a crime
To dream your dream and make it a reality
If that’s a crime
Then tell me what’s the point
To be alive?
You’re alive for the first time

Chorus

So eat the peach
Before the moment passes
And it’s out of reach
With you still at the starting gate
Yeah run! Don’t hide!
No matter if you lose this time
‘Cos time is on your side
And time is all you need to be alive

If you’re the kind
That spends a lifetime wondering if you’re the kind
To break the mould – go see what’s on the other side
Before you’re old, and maybe you’ll discover
You’re alive,
you’re alive for the first time

Repeat Chorus

Don’t Start Knocking (Paul Brady)

Tell me I was just dreaming
Tell me this isn’t true
You were only pretending
Tell me this is not the real you

Catch you hiding your love-light so nobody sees it
You bury your diamonds deep down in the ground
You’re trading your high hopes for a chip on your shoulder
Blaming your best friend for putting you down

When you hear your name, don’t feel out of place
When you look in the mirror put a smile on your face
And don’t start knockin’ when it’s you you see
Cos’ you become what you imagine yourself to be
Yeah you become what you imagine yourself to be

Chorus

Don’t start knockin’
Keep the world from rockin’
Don’t start knockin’

You are so beautiful
No-one is more beautiful than you
Don’t let nothin’ get to you
Keep on keep on shining through

When you hear your name, don’t feel out of place
When you look in the mirror put a smile on your face
And don’t start knockin’ when it’s you you see
‘Cos you become what you imagine yourself to be
Yeah you become what you imagine yourself to be

Chorus

Don’t start knockin’
Keep the world from rockin’
Don’t start knockin’
Keep the world from rockin’

When you hear your name (don’t start knockin’)
When you look in the mirror (don’t start knockin’)
When the joint starts jumpin’ (don’t start knockin’)
When I say I love you (don’t start knockin’)
When I call up your number (don’t start knockin’)

Just In Case Of Accidents (Paul Brady)

So you read the story
And you seen the movie
Heard you got my number
And you know where I’m at
You don’t want to trust in me
‘Cos I might want to use you

She won’t let you touch her
She won’t let you near her
She could use some tenderness
Still you never know
Just in case of accidents
Better not to show

He don’t want to go for it
Might not be his best shot
They might think he’s crazy
And look the other way
So what’s the use in trying
When you might never make it

All of us are children
Heading for the mountain
Searching for a soulmate
To talk to on the way
Terrified of loneliness
Terrified of trusting

The Game Of Love (Paul Brady)

He walked his sweetheart down the aisle
You shoulda seen his mama cry
She was the only girl for him
And he would never leave her side
And daddy sends them the ‘money down’
To build their castle in the sky
Just like a magazine romance
A springtime honeymoon in France

Soon comes a bouncing baby boy
And he’s the apple of their eye
A custom-made recipe for joy
A gift that money couldn’t buy
But Bobby’s stayin’ out late at night
And Mary’s drinkin’ on the sly
Is this some world I’m dreaming of?
If there’s somebody up above
Teach us to play the game of love

Chorus

Pushing and pulling, tears on the pillow
Digging in deeper each day
She wants his loving, he says she’s changing
Slipping away
Who needs the heartache of staying together
Let’s call it a day

Some people say right from the start
That love is just a foolish game
And when we end up against the wall
We find somebody else to blame
But if the loser gets a broken heart
How come the winner gets the same?
Do we just pick up the house of cards
So we can do it all again?

Is this some world I’m dreaming of?
If there’s somebody up above
Teach us to play the game of love
When we gonna learn?
