Smile (Paul Brady, Dillon O’Brian)

They say the world is heading for a breakdown
No more safe ground anymore
Just one little slip and we’d all be gone without a trace
But when I see your face I just have to

Smile,
Forget for a little while
What can I do?
Smile,
Live in the here and now
For me and for you

A long time ago way back in the beginning
They thought the ending was getting near
But now we know that every time the darkness comes
That old morning sun will surely rise and

Smile,
Doin’ its thing in style
Whatever they say
Smile,
We’re only here a while
Time ticking away

I could be just a dreamer
But I say the grass looks greener when you

Smile,
Just for a little while
Forget what they say
Smile,
Do what you do in style
Do it today
Smile,
Take it the extra mile
It’ll be ok
Smile,
Love in the here and now
Let’s get out and play
Smile!…

Don’t Try To Please Me (Paul Brady, Sharon Vaughn)

You could have said no
Instead of just going through the motions..
How far will you go
With this over the top devotion?
The road of least resistance
Won’t take our love the distance..
Baby, it’s no good to me
Unless you fight for all you can be

If you see yourself as small
Then that’s how tall you will be
You can’t measure up at all
If you’re just trying to please me
Don’t try to please me

So take a big breath
It’s your space as much as mine, yeah
We’re at our best
When we’re laying it on the line, yeah
I don’t need no cushion
I love it when you’re pushin’
Cos baby, when you’re feeling strong
That’s what really turns me on

If you see yourself as small
Then that’s how tall you will be
You can’t measure up at all
If you’re just trying to please me
Don’t try to please me

Chorus

Love In A Bubble (Paul Brady, John Kelly)

I met this girl and she was lost on a cross street
She was walkin’ up 14th on a sunny day
I asked her nicely if she needed some assistance
She said ‘Hey, I’m just tryin’ to pass the time away’
So we started talking and we slipped around the corner
Heading downtown for a café au lait
I got to thinkin’ that she wanted something stronger
She said, ‘ I’m just tryin’ to pass the time away’

Time away, love in a bubble
Time away, I’m in trouble!
You got the money, honey, make mine a double
I love my love in a bubble

Down at MacDougal we were getting pretty hungry
So we ordered pizza and the waiter was gay
Poured out the vino and he asked if we were married
She said ‘Hey, I’m just tryin’ to pass the time away’
So we sat for hours and we talked about the weather
‘Bout the government, the country and the price that you pay
I said ‘Hey, baby, do you wanna hear some music?’
She said, ‘Hey, I’m just tryin’ to pass the time away’

Time away, love in a bubble
Time away, I’m in trouble!
You got the money, honey, make mine a double
I love my love in a bubble

Down in the basement with some groovy Hammond organ
I said ‘Dance with me, Baby, hey what do you say?’
So she bopped a bit and she boogalooed and she did the mashed potato
Singin’ ‘Hey I’m just tryin’ to pass the time away’
Four in the morning, we were getting pretty tired
She said ‘You know I only live a block or two away’
So I looked at her and I took her hand and we headed up on 7th
Singin’ ‘ Hey we’re just gonna pass the time away’

Time away, love in a bubble
Time away, I’m in trouble!
You got the money, honey, make mine a double
I love my…

Time away, love in a bubble
Time away, I’m in trouble!
You got the money, honey, make mine a double
I love my, I love my, I love my love in a bubble

I Only Want You (Paul Brady,Tim Clott)

You wrote a message in the sand
In words you thought I’d understand
To tell me things you could not speak
Of love you did not dare to seek
I tried to tell you in a song
What lay inside me for so long
No more charade and no disguise
For you can read it in my eyes

I only want to hold you
Let my lovin’ arms enfold you
Yeah, that’s the way to show you
I only want you

The world is such a mystery
With things we feel but just can’t see
You break a link and lose the chain
And then we start it all again
Our hearts in tune we can’t deny
Afraid to speak but still we try
Dreamin’ dreams that make us wild
We keep the blind faith of a child

I only want to hold you
Let my lovin’ arms enfold you
Yeah, that’s the way to show you
I only want you
A whisper in the night time
Soul kissin’ in the sunshine
Any times’ the right time
I only want you
I only want you
I only want you
I only want you

Living For The Corporation (Paul Brady, John Kelly)

Monday morning and it’s welcome to the working week
Living for the corporation
Me and my baby, we hardly have the time to speak
It’s a never ending situation

Boss talkin’ productivity
It’s a sin to fall behind
I’m wondering should I walk away
Lose my job or lose my mind…
Lose my mind?

Someone tell me what we’re doin’ here
Stuck in the corporate gear
How can something that just bought up the world
Keep on growing?
Being with you and the love that you bring
Could still be my favourite thing
But if I never get to see you
Then there’s no way of knowing..
Where’re we two goin’?

I remember lying late in bed with you
Thinking we were free from danger
No way nobody’s gonna steal our love
Now I come home to a stranger

Boss talkin’ about loyalty
We all sing the company song
I’m working till my eyes can’t see
Tell me where do I belong
I belong?

Monday morning and it’s welcome to the working week
Living for the corporation.

Repeat Chorus

Say What You Feel (Paul Brady)

Here come my baby with her mask on her face
I look for love but I don’t find a trace
It’s been so long since we’ve been in that magic place
That I get worried
I say it’s time for us to see what’s going on
This heavy feeling’s lasting way too long
But when I say we’re maybe going at it wrong
She say ‘don’t hurry’

This world can make you run and hide
Turn inside, but baby there’s a better way
I know it’s waiting there if you decide
To open up your heart

Chorus

Say what you feel, don’t hide it, let it come through
Make it be real, this feeling inside of you
For if you really want a love that can last forever
Say what you feel, don’t hide it, make it be real
Don’t have to kneel, just say it, say what you feel!

I’m not a guy to keep emotions underground
I say my piece, then I spread it around
Sometimes it’s good to turn the whole world upside down
I call that living
I know I sometimes get the incidentals wrong
There’s more to love than the words of a song
But when it looks to you I’m coming on too strong
It’s just me giving

This world can leave you on the floor
Sick and sore, wondering what it takes to be
But when you know that you can take no more
Just open up your heart

Repeat Chorus

Locked Up In Heaven (Paul Brady, John Kelly)

There was a time I was doin’ just fine
And all that I wanted came right down the line
Truckloads of Valentines, sealed with a kiss
How could a poor boy need much more than this?
I could only belong in a world of my own
Till the moment I looked in your eyes

Now I’m locked up in heaven, heaven so blue,
In here for life, just for falling for you
Hurting with happiness, hoping it’s true,
Stuck here in heaven with you

I could be back there, careless and free
Love them and leave them, living for me
Home before morning, the damage all done
Cover my tracks like thief on the run
I could never be tied to a feeling inside
But then baby I looked in your eyes

Now I’m locked up in heaven, heaven so blue
Sent down for life just for falling for you
Hurting with happiness, scared that it’s true
Locked up in heaven, heaven with you
Oh! Oh!
Hurting with happiness, hoping it’s true
Locked up in heaven with you,
I’m stuck here in heaven, heaven so blue
Locked up in heaven with you.

Sail, Sail On (Paul Brady, Sharon Vaughn)

Baby, I thought you had licked this modern day disease
Shifting in your chair like you got to be somewhere
I don’t think I’ve ever seen you totally at ease
Addicted to the grind.., when will you unwind?

(And) Sail, sail on
We’ll be a long time gone

Each moment of our life’s a petal on a rose
It will not be told when it must unfold

And maybe when you’re talking to me look me in the eye
Not around the room like you got something else to do
All we have is now and now is gonna pass on by
It’s not coming back so why don’t you relax?

(And) Sail, sail on
We’ll be a long time gone
Sail, sail on
We’ll be a long time gone

Each moment of our life’s a petal on a rose
And it will not be told when it must unfold

Sail, sail on
We’ll be a long time gone
Sail, sail on
We’ll be a long time gone
Sail on, sail on

The You That’s Really You (Paul Brady, Sharon Vaughn)

Well you did it again, showed up in a red dress
When you’d rather be in levis and some funky old shoes
Dressing up for someone, tryin’ to make an impression
So he doesn’t have a notion of the real you

Turning and twisting, hiding in corners
Never believing what you got is enough
But how can he love you if he never sees you
For the you that’s really you, not the you that’s in love?

Love is a strange thing, Love makes you willing
To be a chameleon for the sake of your heart
Makes you keep as a secret what you are on the inside
While your instinct is screaming this is no place to start

Turning and twisting, hiding in corners
Never believing what you got is enough
But how can he love you if he never sees you
For the you that’s really you, not the you that’s in love?

We all know fear of rejection is a human thing
But in the shadows love will never really bloom
Unless there’s honesty
That’s all it really needs

So turn all the lights on, let go of pretences
And run with the chances, just be who you are

Stop turning and twisting, hiding in corners
Never believing what you got is enough
Cos how can he love you if he never sees you
For the you that’s really you, not the you that’s in love?
Yeah, how can he love you if he never sees you
For the you that’s really you, not the you that’s in love?

Doin’ It In The Dark (Paul Brady, John Kelly)

This could be anywhere; they call this liberty
So many humans here who want something to be
So many counted out, so many sinking fast
How come you blink your eye and then your moment’s passed?

And we’re still doin’ it in the dark (so much for freedom)
Doin’ it in the dark (freedom is just a word)
Doin’ it in the dark (depends on who’s talkin’)
How come we’re doin’ it in the dark?

This girl she hit me up, she wanna follow me
She want me to explain what is this world I see.
She say ‘You knock me out with all these things you do’
I want to scream and shout ‘I’m just as lost as you!’

And I’m still doin’ it in the dark (so much for knowledge)
Doin’ it in the dark (knowledge is lost on us)
Doin’ it in the dark (nothing is changing)
How come we’re doin’ it in the dark?

Doin’ it in the dark (look at our leaders!)
Doin’ it in the dark (leading us back in time)
Doin’ it in the dark (when will we ever learn?)
Us humans doin’ it in the dark

Baby I know you could always see
Just how dark this world can be
Now I wish that I could hold you near
So you can kiss away these fears

I try to call you up but you are not at home
I wanna understand, I wanna smash the phone
I look around this place; I need a future sign
How come this human race still hooked on flyin’ blind?

And we’re still doin’ it in the dark (So much for Jesus)
Doin’ it in the dark (Jesus has left the room)
Us humans doin’ it in the dark (tearing his hair out)
How come we’re doin’ it in the dark?

Doin’ it in the dark (So much for knowledge)
Doin’ it in the dark (Freedom is just a word)
Us humans doin’ it in the dark (when will we ever learn)
How come we’re doin’ it in the dark?

Beyond The Reach of Love (Paul Brady, John Scott Sherrill)

Thought it was just the familiar patterns of love
We hurt each other then we kiss and make up
But this time the echoes of the things that you said
Just won’t stop rattlin’ around in my head

After tonight, nothing can ever be the same
There in your eyes goes the last flicker of the flame

Chorus

I had a shift of vision, I saw a little too much
Is this a condition beyond the reach of love?
Beyond the reach of love
(Is this a condition)
Beyond the reach of love?
The reach of love..

I want to vanish
Make it all disappear
Say the things that worked year after year
Thinkin’ maybe you might understand
Hopin’ that you still could love this man

But after tonight, nothing can ever be the same
There in your eyes goes the last flicker of the flame

Chorus

I had a shift of vision, I saw a little too much
Is this a condition beyond the reach of love?
Beyond the reach of love
(Is this a condition)
Beyond the reach of love?
The reach of love..

The Man I Used To Be (Paul Brady, John Kelly)

I saw us dancing in a dream last night
Just like we used to do when it was me and you..
I heard you whisper ‘Can you feel my heart?’
Like we would never part
I know I’ve only got myself to blame
I saw an open door and I just wanted more
I made my move, I left you standing there..

The world was waiting for a boy like me
Gimme! Gimme!, I want all that I see
How could I be such a fool?

Oh, the man I used to be
Did me no favour
And it’s only now I know, oh, oh!
What a wonder is your love
What a wonder is your love

Since you’ve been gone I’ve seen so many girls
They captivate my eye but I just walk on by
Behind each face I see an empty space
I look for you inside
I keep on searching every night and day
Hoping the next I see will be the one for me
But all around me it’s your memory···

If I knew then the things that I know now..
Just how precious is a lover’s vow
I would not be such a fool

Oh, the man I used to be
Did me no favour
And it’s only now I know, oh, oh!
What a wonder is your love
All those ruby lips I kissed
Soon lost their flavour
And it’s only now I know, oh! oh!
What a wonder is your love.
What a wonder is your love.
I was a fool to lose your love
I went and threw away your love
Oh Baby, now I need your love..

Finally It’s The Right Time (Paul Brady/Pat Alger)

You got a hold on me,
Darlin’ you know it’s true
No matter how hard I try
It always comes back to you
No matter how much it hurts
I always end up back at your door
How come that I ever thought
You had what I was looking for?

Finally it’s the right time
I’m gonna let go this time
I’m gonna just walk away
Into a life that’s mine
Finally it’s the right time

Sometimes it takes so long
To understand the simple things
You know when it’s going wrong
You don’t need a bell to ring
I spent so many nights
Playing hard at make believe
But Darlin’, tonight’s the night
I’m really gonna set me free.

Finally it’s the right time
I’m gonna let go this time
I’m gonna just walk away
Into a life that’s mine
Finally it’s the right time

Oh Oh! Oh Oh!
I spent so long waiting
For this moment to arrive

Finally it’s the right time
I’m gonna let go this time
I’m gonna just walk away
Into a life that’s mine
Finally it’s the right time
Tonight is the right time
Finally it’s the right time
Tonight is the right time
