Ordinary World

(Duran Duran)

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you
What is happening to it all?
Crazy some say
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way to
the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence
once prompted you to say
Pride will tear us both apart
Well now pride's gone out the window
Cross the rooftops, runaway
Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?
Crazy some say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Here today, forgot tomorrow
Here beside the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
Blown away

Just blowing away

And don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way to
the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Every world is my world
Any world is my world

Sleeping Satellite

(Tasmin Archer/John Beck/John Hughes)

I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died
With the eagle's flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
Oh, yeah
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
Did we fly to the moon too soon?
Did we squander the chance?
In the rush of the race
In the reason we chase
Ss lost in romance
And still we try
To justify the waste
For a taste of man's greatest adventure

I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died
With the eagle's flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
Have we got what it takes to advance?
Did we peak too soon?
If the world is so green
Then why does it scream under a blue moon?
We wonder why
The earth's sacrificed
For the price of it's greatest treasure

I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died
With the eagle's flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
Sleeping satellite...

And when we shoot for the stars
What a giant step
Have we got what it takes
To carry the weight
Of this concept?
Or pass it by
Like a shot in the dark
Miss the mark with a sense of adventure

I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died
With the eagle's flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Don't blame this sleeping satellite

I'm Only Sleeping

(John Lennon/Paul McCartney)

When I wake up early in the morning
lift my head
I'm still yawning
when I'm in the middle of a dream
stay in bed
float up stream
Please don't wake me
no don't shake me
leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping
Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind
I think they're crazy
running everywhere at such a speed
till they find there's no need
Please don't spoil my day
I'm miles away
and after all I'm only sleeping
Keeping an eye on a world going by my window
taking my time
lying there and staring at the ceiling
waiting for a sleepy feeling
Please don't spoil my day
I'm miles away
and after all I'm only sleeping
Keeping an eye on a world going by my window
taking my time
when I wake up early in the morning
lift my head
I'm still yawning
when I'm in the middle of a dream
stay in bed
float up stream
Please don't wake me
no don't shake me
leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping
Please don't spoil my day
I'm miles away
and after all I'm only sleeping

Perception

Chris Cutbush/Pete Martin/Simon Greenaway/Sacha Collisson

You can see
forever
look inside of your mind
find a sense
another wonder
just release the fears you left behind
you left behind
(you can see)
Feel your way through the darkness
guide your soul into the light
swim into the open water
drift on a tide that you may find
you may find
(you can see)
Find your soul in the sunrise
look around
you can see it in their eyes
be as one together
rise up
as the emptiness subsides
You can see
forever
rise up
together
search
and you will find the answer
if you look deep inside of your mind
You can see
forever
rise up
together
You can see
forever
rise up
together
forever
You can see forever
rise up
together
search
and you will find the answer
if you look deep inside of your mind
deep inside your mind
deep inside

Hushabye

Naimee Coleman/Simon Greenaway/Sacha Collisson

You're feeling see-through
with nothing here to guide you
you need to find a light to shine on in
this game won't feed you
it's pulling down inside you
and somehow you can't find where to begin, no
tonight
Hushabye my baby
you're dreaming
tumbling you'll hear me singing
this lullaby my baby
believing
surrendering to all
close your eyes my baby
you're seeing
trembling you're breathing me in
so hushabye my baby
you're dreaming
you're dreaming
The night wraps round you
you question all you once knew
not knowing where you are are or where you've been
you'll push your way through
to a moment you can rescue
so often things are not the way they seem, no
tonight
Hushabye my baby
you're dreaming
tumbling you'll hear me singing
this lullaby my baby
believing
surrendering to all
close your eyes my baby
you're seeing
trembling you're breathing me in
so hushabye my baby
you're dreaming
you're dreaming
trembling you're breathing me in

Special

Naimee Coleman

With my world falling apart
his smile kept me together
I'd lay there watching his eyes
wishing to stay there forever
unable to face my reflection as it glimmered in his eyes
I'd laugh and turn away
so locked inside me are a million words I never got to say
His warm words made me feel safe inside
so my innocent love for him I never had to hide
as he held me we watched the Summer sunrise
as he held me wearing his red hood and tired eyes
below the shooting stars of the angel sky
holding the yellow rose
I thought I'd never say goodbye
Goodbye
goodbye

See What I See

Naimee Coleman

I wake up early
you're still sleeping
dreaming of things to come
you dream in colour
of angels flying towards the Sun
In just one look you say so much
it makes me want to reach to touch you
and bring you closer towards me
look with your soul
see what I see
what I see
I go and make myself some coffee
and turn the radio on
you say good morning
and you kiss me
it's nice not to be alone
In just one look you say so much
it makes me want to reach to touch you
and bring you closer towards me
look with your soul
see what I see
what I see
This morning seems to me so lazy
the Sun it has a warm glow
I don't get dressed till after midday
'cos today I've got nowhere to go
nowhere to go

Lullaby (My Love)

(Bill Deasy/Pat MacDonald/Naimee Coleman)

Drifting
can't sleep
the moon shining down
she moves so close now
this is my love
he breathes
his breath in time with mine
he breathes
I'm so sure
this is my love
turn and turn...
I'm lost and down
turn and turn...
turn around
turn and turn...
and I am found
find what's inside you
Don't hold too tight
know I'm behind you
sleep well tonight
Drifting (he breathes)
can't sleep (his breath in time with mine)
man, I'm so tired
she moves (he breathes)
so close
I'm so sure
this is my love
this is my love
turn and turn

So Will I

Little sister, feet don't touch the ground
So you fly, so you fly

Sparkles kissed you as you came around
From the sky, from the sky

And everywhere you go, so will I
Everywhere you go, so will I

Tiny fingers making time stand still
In your eyes, in your smile

Fears may linger throughout your night
But in the morning light how you'll shine

And everywhere you go, so will I
Everywhere you go, so will I

As you spin in circles, as you spin in circles
As you spin in circles, and we all fall down

Everywhere you go, everywhere you go
Everywhere you go, so will I
Everywhere you go, so will I

Ooooh.., ooooh..

Survive

Take your time, take it easy girl
You'll find your own way
You fell behind, find a smile
And tell the band they'll still play
For you, for you

'Cause we're dying from the second we take our first breath
And you're trying to remember all this time you've spent
And the pounding in your chest reminds you you're alive
Makes you sit up, take notice and survive
Survive

Walk the line with its twists and turns
'Cause fear can make you brave
Then in time with your lessons learned
My girl you will save yourself
No one else

'Cause we're dying from the second we take our first breath
And you're trying to remember all this time you've spent
And the pounding in your chest reminds you you're alive
Makes you sit up, take notice and survive
Survive
