Words Mick Hucknall Music Mick Hucknall & Neil Moss

Holding back the years
Thinking of the fear I've had so long
When somebody hears
Listen to the fear that's gone
Strangled by the wishes of pater
Hoping for the arms of mater
Get to me the sooner or later

Holding back the years
Chance for me to escape from all I've known
Holding back the tears
Cause nothing here has grown
I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
Nothing ever could yeah

I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
So tight

I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all of those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
Cause nothing ever could oh yeah

I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
Holding, holding, holding

That's all I have today
It's all I have to say

. . .


Words and music John & William Valentine

I been laid off from work
My rent is due
My kids all need
Brand new shoes

So I went to the bank
To see what they could do
They said son - looks like bad luck
Got-a hold on you

Chorus:
Money's too tight to mention
I can't get an un-em-ploy-ment ex-ten-sion
Money's too tight to mention

I went to my brother
To see what he could do -
He said bro-ther like to help you
But I'm unable to
So I called on my fa-ther fa-ther
Oh my fa-ther
He said

Chorus:
Money's too tight to mention
Oh mo-ney mo-ney mo-ney mon-ey
Mo-ney's too tight to mention
I can't even qual-i-fy for my pension

We talk a-bout rea-gan-on-ics
Oh lord down in the con-gress
They're passing all kinds - of bills
From down cap-it-ol hill - (we've tried them)

Chorus:
Money's too tight to mention
(spoken) cut-back!
Mo-ney mo-ney mo-ney mon-ey
We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We're talk-in' 'bout the dollar bill
Now what are we all to do
When the mon-ey's got a hold on you?
Mo-ney's too tight to mention
Oh mon-ey mon-ey mon-ey mon-ey
Mo-ney's too tight to mention
A-mero - mon-ey oh yeah
We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey…..

Words and music Mick Hucknall

In the middle of the night, when the time is right
Sexily right, I'm gonna do the right thing
Gonna move you slow, much harder though
Sexily so, I'm gonna do the right thing
Feelin' hot, I ain't never gonna stop
To get what you got, you better take what I bring
Feel it now, much harder now
More than any old how, say you feel the pain

Feel I'm getting harder now, get off your back four
Get on top more owww!
Feel I'm sinking farther down, get off your back four
Get on top more

I told you to stop, "You're sleeping out a lot"
You told me get lost, where's your understanding
I feel it now much harder than I've ever done now
I'd better do the right thing

I'm gonna do the right thing
I'm gonna do the right thing

Feel I'm getting harder now, get off your back four
Get on top more owww!
Feel I'm sinking farther down, get off your back four
Get on top more

In the middle of the night, when the time is right
Sexily right, I'm gonna do the right thing
Gonna move you slow, much harder than I've ever done now
I'm gonna do the right thing

I'm gonna do the right thing
I'm gonna do the right thing

I'm on fire
I'm on fire
You know I told you that I would never dream of leaving
If I did it right
I'm gonna do the right thing

. . .


Words and music Jimmy & Vella Cameron

It's only love
It's only love

Don't be afraid to touch me babe
Girl let's be real
There's nothing wrong
With the way we're carrying on
So enjoy and live
Because
It's only love doing it's thing baby
It's only love that you're feeling
It's only love doing it's thing baby
It's only love that you're giving

I wanna stay with you night and day
Until the end of time
It's OK when you lay
Lay your body next to mine
Because
It's only love doing it's thing baby
It's only love that you're feeling
It's only love doing it's thing baby
It's only love that you're giving

. . .


Words and music Mick Hucknall

I was bowled out
I was sold down the river 
And her warm heart
Would turn me forever

She's turned me round
A new flame has come
And nothing she can do
Can do me wrong

I am stern now
Petty words
Don't believe me
But her warm smile
Is never gonna leave me

She's turned me round
A new flame has come
And nothing she can do
Can do me wrong

Wrong oh no
Wrong oh no

She's made of real glass
She got real real emotion
But my heart laughs
I have that same 
Sweet devotion

She's turned me round
A new flame has come
And nothing she can do
Can do me wrong

Wrong oh no
Wrong oh no
Nothing she can do
Can ever do me wrong

. . .


Words Mick Hucknall Music Mick Hucknall & Lamont Dozier

This impossible power
A strength that I can't see
There's no way
That I can let you go
Why did I mistake sex
For another sense
Then wanted someone else
To try to tell you no

I think you understand
Oh that you've got it
I try hard but I can't
Oh do without it

I think you understand
That you've got it

This impossible power
Has broken into me
And stolen all the sense
That I had before
Why did I just take 
And never understand
The love you've given me
Could've learnt me more

I think you understand
Oh that you've got it
I try hard but I can't
Oh do without it

I think you understand
That you've got it

What made you think
That I'd be true to you
I needed to 
Prove it to myself
That I could let you go
What made you think that
I'd be a fool for you
You knew that I was lying
There was something
I was hiding

I think you understand
Oh that you've got it
Well I try hard but I can't
Oh do without it

. . .


Words and music Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff

If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me

All the things
That we've been through
You should understand me
Like I understand you
Now girl I know the difference
Between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothing
To break up our happy home
Don't get so excited
When I come home
A little late at night
Cos we only act like children
When we argue fuss and fight

If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me

We've all got our
Own funny moods
I've got mine,
Woman you've got yours too
Just trust in me like I trust in you
As long as we've been together
It should be so easy to do
Just get yourself together
Or we might as well say goodbye
What good is a love affair
When you can't see eye to eye

If you don't know me by now
You will never
Never never know me

. . .


Words and music Mick Hucknall

Anyone who ever held you
Would tell you the way I'm feeling
Anyone who ever wanted you
Would try to tell you what I feel inside
The only thing I ever wanted
Was the feeling that you ain't faking
The only one you ever thought about
Wait a minute can't you see that I

I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend

For the man who tried to hurt you
He's explaining the way I'm feeling
For all the jealousy I caused you
States the reason why I'm trying to hide
As for all the things you taught me
It sends my future into clearer dimensions
You'll never know how much you hurt me
Stay a minute can't you see that I

I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend

Too many hearts are broken
A lover's promise never came with a maybe
So many words are left unspoken
The silent voices are driving me crazy
As for all the pain you caused me
Making up could never be your intention
You'll never know how much you hurt me
Stay can't you see that I

I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend

. . .


Words Mick Hucknall Music Mick Hucknall & Fritz McIntyre

Something got me started
You know that I will love you
Lately since we parted
I truly know that I need you

I'd give it all up for you
(Yes I would)

Totally broken-hearted
Guilty of what I did to you
Lately since we parted
I truly know that I need you

I'd give it all up for you
(Yes I would)

You've got to help me, help me,help me

. . .


Words Mick Hucknall Music Mick Hucknall & Fritz McIntyre

OK, I'm the one who took you for granted
I've made my mistakes, wake up let's not 
Break up

Thrill me you've got a love so strong
Thrill me you really turn me on
Thrill me wait till tomorrow night
Thrill me I'm gonna treat you right

You said that I would never let you be alone
How many times have you been on your own
Worked all the days to find the things you try
To do
If only my heart would never let you through
Because you

Thrill me you've got a love so strong
Thrill me you just can't do me wrong
Thrill me wait till tomorrow night
Thrill me I'm gonna treat you right

The truth is you've gone and left me on my own
How can I face the fact you're really gone
Love was a phase we'd have to pray to make 
It true
If only my heart would've never let you through
Because you

Thrill me you've got a love so strong
Thrill me you really turn me on
Thrill me wait till tomorrow night
Thrill me I'm gonna treat you right

. . .


Words and music Mick Hucknall

I've got to stand up for myself
This society don't care about nobody else
I've got to be strong
Even if I know that this feeling is wrong
I've got to not care
Even if I know that this world is meant to
Share

Wait a minute. This is wrong
Even the birds still sing their faithful song
And your beauty lies within you
Look in the mirror baby
Look in the mirror baby

What you gonna do when your friends have 
Gone away
And deserted you
You'll have to be strong
24 hours can seem so long
You're taught to not care
And then not realise this world is meant to 
Share

Wait a minute. It's wrong
Even the birds still sing their faithful song
And your beauty lies within you
Look in the mirror baby
Look in the mirror baby

We've got to stand up for ourselves
Even if a leader so cold wants to glory himself
We've got to be strong
Even if our reasons seem wrong
We've got to not care
Even if the world that we know may not even 
Be here

Hold it! It's wrong
Even the birds still sing their faithful song
And your beauty lies within you
Look in the mirror baby
Look in the mirror baby

. . .


Words and music Mick Hucknall

You've got that look again
The one I hoped I had when I was a lad
Your face is just beaming
Your smile got me boasting, my pulse roller- coastering
Any way the four winds that blow
They're gonna send me sailing home to you
Or I'll fly with the force of a rainbow
The dream of gold will be waiting in your eyes

You know I'd do most anything you want
Hey I, I try to give you everything you need
I can see that it gets to you
I don't believe in many things
But in you I do

Her faith is amazing
The pain that she goes through contained in
The hope for you
Your whole world has changed
The years spent before seem more cloudy
Than blue
In many ways your baby's controlling
When you haven't laid down for days
For the poor no time to be thinking
They're too busy finding ways

You know I'd do most anything you want
Hey I, I try to give you everything you need
I'll see that it gets to you
I don't believe in many things
But in you I do

You know I'd do most anything you want
Every day I, try to give you everything you
Need
We'll always be there for you
I don't believe in many things
But in you I do

. . .


Words and music Mick Hucknall

I was listening to this conversation 
Noticing my daydream stimulated me more
I was crumbling with anticipation
You'd better send me home before I tumble down to the floor

You're so beautiful but oh so boring
I'm wondering what am I doing here
So beautiful but oh so boring, I'm wondering
If anyone out there really cares
About the curlers in your hair
My little golden baby, where have all your birds flown now?

Something's glistening in my imagination
Motorvatin' something close to breaking the law
Wait a mo' before you take me down to the station
I've never known a one who'd make me suicidal before

She was so beautiful but oh so boring
I'm wondering what was I doing there
So beautiful but oh so boring, I'm wondering
If anyone out there really cares
About the colour of your hair
My little golden baby, where have all your birds flown now?

. . .


Words and music Carolyn Franklin & Sonny Saunders

Gotta find me an angel
To fly away with me
Gotta find me an angel
Who will set me free
My heart is without a home
I don't want to be alone
Gotta find me an angel
In my life 

Too long have I loved
So unattached within
So much that I've known
That I need somebody so
Still I'll just go on
Hoping that I'll find me someone 

Gotta find me an angel in my life 

I know there must be someone, someone for me
I've lived too long without the love of someone
And there's no misery, like the misery I feel in me 

Gotta find me an angel in my life
She'll be there, now don't you worry
Keep looking now just keep looking

. . .


Words and music Mick Hucknall

Driving down an endless road
Taking friends or moving alone
Pleasure at the fairground on the way

It's always friends that feel so good
Let's make amends like all good men should
Pleasure at the fairground on the way

Walk around, be free and roam
There's always someone leaving alone
Pleasure at the fairground on the way

And I love the thought of coming home to you
Even if I know we can't make it
I love the thought of giving hope to you
Just a little ray of light shining through

Love can bend and breathe alone
Until the end it finds you a home
Don't care what the people may say

It's always friends that feel so good
Let's make amends like all good men should
Pleasure at the fairground on the way

And I love the thought of coming home to you
Even if I know we can't make it
I love the thought of giving hope to you
Just a little ray of light shining through
