The principle of moments

Lay down your arms

Now baby, let me sleep at night

Lay down your arms, baby

I'll make everything all right

Words you've been using - hurting me so

Some day you're gonna regret

Way friends are talking - guess you'll never know

This battle ain't been won yet



Lay down your arms, baby

When the deal is done

Lay down your arms, child

Used to be your only one

Weapon you're using is hurting me bad

What do you hope to achieve?

I said your fighting is leaving me sad

That's not the way it should be



Fi-find a love - fi-find a way

Fi-find a dream - fi-find a way

You know that I will - yes, you know



Lay down your arms

Please release me - let me go

Lay down your arms, baby

Now surrender to me - don't you go



Fi-find a love - fi-find a way

Fi-find a dream - fi-find a way

You know that I - you know that I

You know I will - you know



Oh, she's gone - she's gone

I'm not a prisoner of the big parade

I'm not a prisoner of the hit parade

I'm not a prisoner of the big parade

No, I'm not - no, I'm not



Oh, oh my baby's gone

[Lay down your arms]

I don't know where I'm gonna find her

'Cause my baby's gone

[Lay down your arms]

Is she over here? is she over there? is she here? yes, I know

Oh, I gotta find her

Is she here? is she there? I really don't know

I gotta find her

I'm in the mood for a melody

I'm in the mood for a melody

I'm in the mood

I'm in the mood for a melody

I'm in the mood for a melody

I'm in the mood

I'm in the mood for a melody

I'm in the mood for a melody

I'm in the mood



I can make you dance - I can make you sing

I can make you dance - I can make you sing

If you want me to

I can make you dance - I can make you sing

I can make you dance - I can make you sing

If you want me to

I can make you dance - I can make you sing

I can make you dance - I can make you sing

If you want me to



Any little song that you want to sing

Little songs that you want to sing

Any song will do

Any little song that you want to sing

Little songs that you want to sing

It's up to you

Little songs that you want to sing

A little song that you want to sing

You're blue



I'm in the mood

I'm in the mood

I'm in the mood



I can write it on the door - I can put it on the floor

I can do anything that you want me for

If you want me to

I can do it right - I can do it wrong

'Cause a matter of fact it'll turn out to be strong

If you want me to

Oh, don't cross your fingers - cross your heart and soul

Don't ask me the question - God, I just don't know

This whole damn indenture put my emotion on hold

So don't ask me why

You ask how I feel, and what it's like inside

I'm hot in pursuit - I'm bearing down on your hide

Involved in recovery - tryin' to save my pride

Don't ask me again



Wound up in circumstance beyond my control

Affairs of the heart no longer leave me cold

What a lot of feeling such a long time ago

Don't ask me again

Get down, baby - you're out of control

You leave by my side or you leave on your own

I don't know what I should know

Don't ask me again



So don't you ask me how I feel and what it's like inside

In such a circumstance, babe, you don't mess with my pride

It's just recovery, babe - just recovery, babe



Meet me in the middle - please, some give and take

Alternative arrangements I've left to be made

A new composition's not a piece of cake

So don't you ask me

Wound up in circumstance beyond my control

Affairs of the heart no longer leave me cold

What a lot of feeling such a long time ago

Don't ask me again

Now red is urgent - green's a let-off

And the score shows just another spin-off

Orange jolts, and brown is old

Grey is weary - don't touch gold



In the fireworks, away from the heat

Behind closed doors, away from the street

No-one is listening - at least that's what you think

There's a slow fuse burning, much faster than you think



White, the new look - all that matters

Blue, the last one - back in the shadows

Purple, it's fine - yellow no

Silver's worn, and don't touch gold



Dance through the coloured razzamatazz

Spinning along - doesn't affect

Wreckless love is creeping on you

Now watch out, reckless

'Cause wreckless love will drive you crazy

Will wear your mind out

Creeps up on you when you don't know

It will find out

Wreckless love, wreckless love

Wreckless love, wreckless love



Race with my heart to the top of a kiss

Drive my desire but take care not to risk

Breaking my heart, for it's all that I own

[Crazy, my heart]

All I command - in these times I'm alone

[Crazy, my heart]

Other arms that held me so tight

[Crazy, my heart]

Slip through my mind with you in the night

Feelin' reckless, feelin' reckless - wreckless love



Wreckless love, wreckless love

Wreckless love, wreckless love --

Dance by me close - tell 'em all to go

One's for the money - but I'm through with the show

Move with me gently - oh, so slow

Hold me and maybe we'll never let go, never let go

I'm through with sneakin' - been cutting it close

Through with the two-step, where the rhythm is law

Through with the two-step, where the rhythm is law

Oh yes, it's love in any key

You opened up the door - now I know it's got to be



Now my cards on the table - hands on the deck

Now A is for able - no words - pause for breath

My willing baby, now can't you see

Little girl, it's not for me

So you waltzed into my life - one, two, three

Warmed up your smile - oh let it please be me, please let it be me

You swish and swirl - oh, swing and sway

Stay till the sun comes, and don't go away --

And you said you'd never leave me

And you said you'd be my only one

And I said you'd never glean me, baby

For things you do when you are only having fun

You said you'd cry a river

I thought you meant you'd cry a river of tears

You'd rather die than live without me, baby

But little girl, you're so insincere



You know you count your blessings

But now I find that you were counting sheep, counting sheep

And then I try to court your feelings

I caught your eye and then you caught my cheek

All the things must come to fruit now

And there you stood so proud the apple of my eye

You said you'd never leave me, baby

But little girl, that's the reason why

Whoa - that's why I have to leave you all alone

Whoa - that's why you have to leave me all alone



Let's go collect our prize now

So entertaining we were number one, number one

The judge is hypnotised now

But after all we both been fooled for so damn long

So face the crowd and take a bow now, bow now

'Cause one more time and it will all be done

'Cause I must leave the show to you now baby

My last performance has just begun

Whoa - that's why I have to leave you all alone

Whoa - that's why you have to leave me all alone --



Stop and think for a minute, baby

As they bring the curtain down

Another break, then another maybe

The choice will not be found

I taught you style, the ducking and the weaving

We were famous for

And here's to him, and here's to yours

And you can take the floor, the floor

Whoa - that's why I have to leave you all alone

Whoa - that's why you have to leave me all alone



I don't know - so you turned around and found another fool

I don't know - so you turned around and found another --

Down, down, down

Always make the same mistakes again

Down, down, always down

Always make the same mistake

Talk is cheap, but you're talking fast

Never take the time to think of where it will end

Walk and talk - don't look back

I don't know which way it's gonna lead me baby

I try so hard but I can't understand - lead me baby

Just help me get my feet on the ground



Down, down, down

Wandering through the places that we both used to go

Round, round, always round

Chase me and sedate me now but don't let me go

Restless sleep, now in my lonely room

Empty arms are waiting for the morning to come

In the deep, where my dreams come true

Take care now - I'll keep you now, but lead me baby

I try so hard but I can't understand - lead me baby

Help me get my feet on the ground - yes, help me

Oh, help me, baby - oh, help me



I can't stay down for too long now, babe

I can't stay down for too long now, my babe

It's so lonely



If I'm crying, well, it's 'cause I'm lonely

You know I'm only ever lonely without you

If I cry, well, it's 'cause I'm lonely

'Cause I can be so lonely

I can be so lonely, I can be, I can be

My love is in league with the freeway

Its passion will ride as the cities fly by

And the tail-lights dissolve in the coming of night

And the questions in thousands take flight

My love is the miles and the waiting

The eyes that just stare, and the glance at the clock

And the secret that burns, and the pain that won't stop

And it's fuelled once again

Leading me on - leading me down the road

Driving me on - driving me down the road



My love is exceeding the limit

Red-eyed and fevered with the hum of the miles

Distance and longing - my thoughts do collide

Should I rest for a while at the side?

Your love is cradled in knowing

Eyes in the mirror, still expecting they'll come

Sensing too well when the journey is done

There is no turning back - no

There is no turning back - on the run



My love is in league with the freeway

Oh, with the freeway, and the coming of night-time

My love, my love is in league with the freeway
