Barrel Of Tears
Lights flashing in magic colours, enjoy the fun of the fair
Climb aboard that ferris wheel, you can see for miles from there
Throw away your troubles, don't waste time on my sad show
Keep your eyes on those bright lights, playing me's not worth a go
Chorus:
Roll up Roll up, we'll have a barrel of tears
Roll up Roll up, see my barrel of tears
Ride the waltzer one more time, see the faces smiling by
Throw a penny for a candy apple, test your strength for a dime
Throw away your troubles, don't waste time on my sad show
Keep your eyes on those bright lights, it's not me you want to know
CHORUS
Noone wants to hear my sad story, and noone wants to feel bad,
And noone's got the time to worry, When it's so easy to be glad,
Throw away your troubles, don't waste time on my sad show
Keep your eyes on those bright lights, I'll still be here tomorrow
CHORUS

Little Girl Blue
Hiding under covers
Shielding your face
Your mind's a maze of colours
In a cold and lonely place
Talking in whispers
Eyes screwed up tight
Your dreams are full of monsters
In a gothic stormy night
Chorus 1:
Little girl blue
You lost all your sheep
You'll never get to sleep
Like a child
Missing out on friendship
Skipping of from school
There's a tremble on your lip
And your eyes are brimming full
Chorus 2:
Little girl blue
What you been through
What did they do
To make you wild
Verse instrumental
Little girl blue
What scared you so
Something only you can know
And never tell
Keep it deep inside
Where only demons hide
And don't let those sighs
Ever reach the sky
Chorus 1
Chorus 2

Love Aint My Friend No More
You wooed me
You beguiled me
Made me gasp with your chemistry
Feel like someone I\rquote d want to be. But...
Chorus:
Love aint my friend no more
You tricked me with desire.
No love aint my friend no more
You took away the fire
You moved me
Then you fooled me
Made me lose all my dignity
Feel like I\rquote m lost at sea. And...
Chorus
Instrumental:
I\rquote m here dying
With a heart that can\rquote t rise again
Faced with a mirror full of pain
On a lonely shore

More Than Friends
You look at me
With the eyes of someone to a child
Laughter breaks
The lines of your face into a smile
I kiss your cheek goodbye
A faintest tremble in my lips
Afraid to let you feel
The passion that's hiding deep. And I want to be...
Chorus:
More than friends
More than friends
Your love is not enough
Without your body's touch
I need to be more than friends
We think as one
Great minds working the same way
There's no silence
Finding the right thing to say
I wish you luck
In your search for happiness
Afraid to let you know
There's no greater heart than this. And I want to be...
Chorus
If I told you how I feel
Would it turn your love to cold cold steel
Or would you take me in your arms
Whisper in my ear, I want to be...
Chorus
Chorus intrumental
More than friends etc

Red Lights
There's neon in your eyes
Flick'ring in my face
I've been put on hold
For too long now
I'm ready to go
Step hard on the gas
But when I look at you
All I see is red lights
Chorus:
Red Lights
Aint gonna change
Don't matter what I say
If its night or day
All I see is red lights
Don't wanna give way
To the traffic in your life
I've been idling on a line
For too many years
I'm doing all I can
My hands on the wheel
But when I look at you
All I see is red lights
Chorus
Verse instrumental
You'd like to keep me here
Stalled at a stop sign
I'll be waiting down the line
Off the freeway
Chorus etc

Talking About The Weather
How was it for you
For me it rained all night
It can scare you
When you're alone
Did you come to see me
With something new to say
There's talk of a heavy sea
And I'm drowning
Chorus:
So we'll stay
Talking about the weather
I don't think I'll ever
Find the words to say
Yeh we'll stay
Talking about the weather
Maybe sometime never
You'll be mine
I feel your eyes
waiting on my lips
Quick to catch
The word Love
I'm looking at at the sky
Will the heavens open now
Like maybe they can tell me why
I'm such a fool
Chorus
Verse Instrumental
Just stay a while
Share the space in an aching heart
Better than a life apart
We can find a way
Chorus

They'll Never Know
They'll never know
When they see me sigh
When I wipe my eye
I'm thinking of you
They won't see
My face can't feel the sun
Seems like I can't go on
Without you
Chorus:
They'll never know how I'm crying inside
Never know how my heart fell and died
Ev'ry time I smile
Its just a memory why
I love you
They'll never know
The pain that glows
Like a nail in my soul
All day long
They won't hear
Ev'ry time I laugh
I'm thinking about the past
With you
Chorus
Going through the motions
No space for emotion
Waiting to end it all
Waiting for the sky to fall
Chorus etc

Wasted All My Love On You
Miles from sleep
Sailing on a stormy sea of my emotions
Looking for a distant shore
Somewhere there'll be no more sad memories
Remembering a game
Where I bet all I own, for a life
Staked my lonely soul
For a chance to be told you'd stay. And I
Chorus:
Wasted all my love on you
Cried a lifetime's tears for you
Wore my heart out wanting you
Yeh I wasted all my love on you
You weren't that kind
Makes a promise for all time and stays true
You went with the rain
Won't cross the same ground again need something new. And I...
Chorus
Instrumental
I'm left looking at the past
Tired of thinking that's the last time I'll try
Save my breath for a final sigh
And a year wondering why I could be so wrong. Be So Wrong And I...

You\rquote ve Got My Emotions
Its your call
You're in control
I can only wait
See which way you'll roll
You might turn away
Leave me far behind
Watch me sigh
Never throw me a line. And...
Chorus:
You\rquote ve got my emotions
In the palm of your hand
Yeh you\rquote ve got my emotions
In the palm of your hand
You'll change with the moon
And its driving me insane
You'll spin with the wind
Then just forget my name
Chorus
Verse Instrumental
And when I've got so down
I can feel no more pain
You'll call me your lover
Take me back in your arms again
Chorus etc
