We're simple minds

we're simple minds
still we want it all
and things go fast
make us miss the most
of what life can bring to us
of what life can mean to us

she left a scar
she was too well read
and i was the one who was so impressed
i never dared to speak from my heart
seasons change
and i'm still the same
i never can tell what's inside me
and heaven knows it isn't that much

we'll travel far
just to feel at all
when we're home
and we're on our own
we can't look after ourselves
or anyone else

she left a scar
she was too well read
and i was the one who was so impressed
i never dared to speak from my heart
seasons change
and i'm still the same
i never can tell what's inside me
and heaven knows it isn't that much

Spring came, rain fell

waiting for the big fall
to take us all
quiet nights and desperate love
we need it all

spring came
rain fell
we ended up nowhere
then june came
sun shone
are we still nowhere?

someone come and take me away
no need to stay
when life itself is making you old
just take my soul

spring came
rain fell
we ended up nowhere
then june came
sun shone
are we still nowhere?

if you want me now
you don't have to try so hard
if you want me now
you don't have to try at all

spring came
rain fell
we ended up nowhere
then june came
sun shone
are we still nowhere?

Spring song

(instrumental)

Close to me

alison, i've been giving you quite some time
and given time, don't you think that i deserve some?

please give in
cause i've been waiting
please give in
cause i've been wasting away

now i feel i'm stuck in between
it's a shame that you won't come
close to me

alison, sometimes i think you'd rather let me go
and given that, don't you think i ought to know

please give in
cause i've been waiting
please give in
cause i've been wasting away

now i feel i'm stuck in between
it's a shame that you won't come
close to me
a substitute for love, desperate needs
maybe this is all
this is me

Baby, I'm not sure if this is love

lovers keep their secrets
baby, i'm not sure if this is love
and love can make us greedy
baby i don't think that's for us
it's not for me to be

lovers keep their distance
maybe they don't like what they see
and love can make us jealous
baby there's no right for me to be
it's not for me to see

if we give in
maybe we'll be like them
i don't want the sadness
to be ours too
baby there's no pressure
on you

lovers keep their secrets
baby, i'm not sure if this is love
and love can make us greedy
baby i don't think that's for us
it's not for me to be

if we give in
maybe we'll be like them
i don't want the sadness
to be ours too
baby there's no pressure
on you

lovers keep their secrets
baby, i'm not sure if this is love

The chance I deserve

you can say
i was mean and cruel
baby you know, that is not right
things were strange
when i was far away
now i'm here
to make things right

give me half
(i'm easy to please now)
give me half the chance i deserve
(i'm where you want me to be)
cause i'm so f___ed up right now
(i'm eager to please now)

you can say
i was mean and cruel
baby you know, that is not right
things were strange
when i was far away
now i'm here
to make things right

give me half
(i'm easy to please now)
give me half the chance i deserve
(i'm where you want me to be)
cause i'm so f___ed up right now
(i'm eager to please now)

go on with what you're saying
we've been falling
so many times it won't hurt me
no more

give me half
(i'm easy to please now)
give me half the chance i deserve
(i'm where you want me to be)
cause i'm so f___ed up right now
(i'm eager to please now)

I give up too

if there's a desire
that could take you higher . . .

Friends and lovers

friends and lovers are gone
and then your parents change into teachers
do you think they would let you know
if anything's wrong?

if you rise you fall again
it's bad from time to time
and i say it as a friend
your only friend

now's the time to grow cold
as days go on and on with no reason
lock yourself in and stay inside
never go out

if you rise you fall again
it's bad from time to time
and i say it as a friend
your only friend

Teenage life

teenage love
crushing every heart
the young can go far
then they take it all
i want to go there

a boy at 15
shy and clumsy
he feels it all
a girl at 16
who'll drop out of school soon
this is her time

teenage dreams
everyone's a star
some may go far
others fall so hard
i want to be them

a boy at 15
shy and clumsy
he feels it all
a girl at 16
who'll drop out of school soon
this is her time

fall every season
in love without reason
it's a teenage life
hate every teacher
listen to no one
it's a teenage life

a boy at 15
shy and clumsy
he feels it all
a girl at 16
who'll drop out of school soon
this is her time

Karen song

karen's got a house now
somewhere by the water

it's quiet and dark but she's happy
so i can only wish her well

i'm still a dreamer
stuck with myself all the time
can i go now

don't make me beg
make me believe
it's no mistake
when i see
nothing belongs
to me now

take me out and show me
a future that sparkles and shines
i want to leave now

don't make me beg
make me believe
it's no mistake
when i see
nothing belongs
to me now

The girl with the northern soul collection

red headed girl
with a northern soul collection
she says she has to move
cause the money's gone
she shouldn't have to do that

if there's a desire
that could take you higher
i know you'll be there on time
don't go where your friends are
they're not where the lights are
someone's going to take you home tonight

poor trendy girl
with an inner city lifestyle
can only pay the rent
for a loser's flat
she shouldn't have to go there

why the frown?
now you're hard on yourself
club kids of the world unite
to help you now

if there's a desire
that could take you higher
i know you'll be there on time
don't go where your friends are
they're not where the lights are
someone's going to take you home tonight

We set ourselves free

we set ourselves free
and now we'll be
forever wondering

we set ourselves free
and now we'll be
forever wandering
