Chorus
Strange how people love super - naturally,
Like I love you, eternally.
Passion rekindled,
And reswindled.
Tonight, I went out with an old flame,
Just like ol’ times, I was the one to blame,
Only wanted things to be the same,
But she played her ol’, romantic game.
Chorus
The girl’s just like an eternal flame,
Goddam love that gal, though she’s hard to tame,
Though I don’t remember her name,
Never any shame (she’s as warm as an eternal flame.
Chorus
Honey, I hope our love’ll live forever
Just like a perennial flower, lovin’ hour after hour,
Forget me not nor never, building bonds that never sever,
Lifting me up, like a lever.
Chorus
Just like an eternal flame, I’m hopin’ ya’ love never goes,
Hope to find true happiness,
And don’t mind one bit if it shows,
Just like an eternal flame, it glows and glows.
Chorus
Need to laugh in every day,
A smile - like an aura, that never goes away,
Which clearly lights the way,
To keep all shadows, rainclouds and ghosts at bay.

Honey, they say that love is blind,
So, I guess we both need spectacles, I think you’ll find,
‘Cos, honey, don’t ya’ see, you’re being unkind,
Whatever I do, ya’ don’t seem to mind.
Honey, I’m tryin’ to get X - ray vision,
Just so I can see you in a new dimension,
‘Cos, darling, you are too hot to mention,
Don’t leave me hanging on, in this kinda suspension.
Honey, gonna buy you a new telescope,
Just so you’ll find me, give me reinspired hope,
See me again, just like ya’ on dope,
Maybe the two of us (blind - folded) can elope ?
Honey, gonna buy me some new contact lenses,
Just so I can see you again,
We can break down our fences,
Then we can once more be friends, hey ?
Love is blind, need a white stick and a dog,
I’m trying to see in a fog,
Please see me, and see me clearly,
Please love me, always, I plea dearly.

Just there,
It was there all the time.
I was just looking,
In the wrong place.
All the time,
There was something there sublime.
Just there,
You hit the nail on the head,
Never wanted to be anywhere else,
But just there, in your bed.
All the time,
There was something there sublime.
Just there,
Could have been a million other places besides,
‘Cept, no - one could tell me where it was,
It wasn’t anywhere, till I looked where a hidden angel resides.
All the time,
There was something there sublime.
Just there,
You’re right on the dot,
Could’ve fallen in love with a million other girls,
But no - one, like you cares for me one jot.
All the time,
There was something there sublime.
Honey, don’t slap me hard in the face.
Just there, honey, is just the right place,
Just so easy, in a single stroke,
As well as gentleness, passion awoke … repeat to fade

Beauty or the beast, ?
Satan or the priest ?
Really not sure which one is you,
‘Cos I’m upside down because of you.
Chorus
Up or down ?
In or out ?
Your great lovin’
Turns me roundabout
Inside out …
I guess it’s your lovin’,
Without a doubt …
Forwards and backwards,
Round and around,
High in the air,
Fallen on the ground.
Chorus
A thoroughly topsy - turvy world, in fact,
Can’t really decide which way I should be,
All ‘cos opposites attract,
Since you fell in love with me.
Chorus
The sky is green, the grass is blue,
My world’s upside - down,
All because of you and what you do … repeat to fade

The sweetest sound ever heard,
Is the tune of peace, like the song of a bird.
Although, I know, it’s kinda absurd,
How it leaves me speechless, in a single word.
The sweetest sound that rings in my ears,
Is silence, in rythmical highs and lows, it cheers.
Although in no decibels it blows as it appears,
It’s magic comes, yet, never goes, over the years.
Chorus
When you hear me hum, in the distance,
Sweet melodies reverberate, quite by chance.
On this song’s soundwaves, is peace, irridescent,
A simple good wish, of peace, is sent,
On a warm breeze, smell it’s heavenly scent,
When blown in a kiss, a piece of Heaven’s sent.
When the song is sung, in that brief interlude,
Shhh … a brief pause … that ’s the time that peace is ours.
Even though peace makes no sound at all,
Peace - makers’ names are easy to recall.
Peace reverberates around loudly through every wall.
So all our boundaries, then crumble and fall.
Peace is the sweetest sound to call of them all.
When the world’s walls are built, as a divide,
It is peace’s thud, that breaks them down, as “peace” is
cried,
Washed away is confusion, hate, intolerance, with love as it’s
guide,
There’s nowhere to hide, when peace’s soundwaves drift in
on the tide.
Chorus
If everyone of us listens, quiet and still,
There’s a minute of peace, so tranquil,
Above the noise, you’ll find how strong is it’s will,
When anguish is the disease, peace is the pill.
Sometimes, peace can’t be envisaged, soon,
Yet, have faith, in peace’s sweetest tune,
When all else seems broken, peace is a token,
When peace is spoken, friendship is awoken …

Although no - one loves you as hopelessly as I do,
Darlin’, there ain’t no rythmn in you,
You’re tuneless, though ya’ make my heart skip a beat or two,
And one or two of the chords are out of time, it’s true.
Chorus
Yet, there’s music all around you,
So I’m hanging on for a phone call from you,
Singing, as I’m hanging around with you,
My heart’s stinging, as I’m swinging a tune about you.
Chorus
There’s a telephone wire around my finger, instead of a ring,
Doesn’t matter if your voice is croaky, tell me something,
I’m stood by the telephone, waitin’ for you to give me a ring,
Even if the phone line’s crackling, my heart leaps with each
“ting”.
Chorus
Darling, don’t ever want to be alone,
So I’m never gonna hang up this cordless phone,
Although, it may make a tuneless tone,
It doesn’t on it’s own, like me, not made out of stone.
Chorus
Do your hear me loud and clear ?
Though you’re a thousand miles away, all I want is you near,
Cuddling this cordless phone, next to my heart,
It reminds me of our music, whenever we’re apart.
Chorus
We don’t ever need to say “goodbye”,
‘Cos my kiss is on a telegram through the sky … repeat to fade

Darlin’, been watching you on the screen,
In the best cinema film that I’ve ever seen,
You’re the cutest actor that’s ever been,
The date by my side, is enviously green.
Chorus
Once, you were just a bit actor,
Now, you’re a blockbuster, with real wow ! factor.
Lights ! camera ! action !
As quick as a flick,
Your name’s in lights, lookin’ so slick.
A wow factor actor, on every arm, a chick.
Now, all the girls know your name,
But, I knew you, when it wasn’t the same,
Darlin’, maybe I’m just your old flame,
But wow factor actor, I helped you find fame.
Chorus
When you smile, it seem’s it’s for me,
Then you smile for a while,
The glint in your eye sparkling’s all I see,
Just as pretty as a picture can be.

Chorus
A sassy assassin,
Where do I begin ?
To tell you I love you,
When it’s a war I just can’t win.
Darlin’, if you’re a hit man,
We’re a hit, I’m your greatest fan.
You must be an assassin,
Sent from Russia with love,
Because in your arms I die,
You can kill me with the look of an eye.
Assassin when you fled to me,
We fell in love romatically,
Now no spies are needed to see,
For as much love as can possibly be.
Chorus
Did you mean to be so late ?
To assassinate me on our first date ?
Assassin, you are really great,
Met you on the train, guess it was fate.
Must be that we speak in code,
When you whisper things,
That make my heart explode,
When ya’ gave ma golden (Spy) ring
Chorus
Though an air of mystery surrounds you,
Love still abounds all around you … (repeat to fade).

Darlin’, it may be that I have nothing on,
But, there’s something on my mind,
Whatever it is, it brings the Sun,
So my mind blanks, when the day is done.
Chorus
Your perfume’s reminding me,
Of Summer day spent by the sea.
Darlin’, something’s troubling me,
Please help me to clearly see,
Trying hard to be open - minded,
But as you open my buttons, honey I’m blinded.
Chorus
Honey, there’s something on my mind,
It’s an image of you, I think you’ll find,
I’m in two minds, what made you so unkind ?
Was it you, me or just that we were love - blind ?
Chorus
Do you mind keeping your mind on me ?
‘Cos I don’t mind things as easy as can be,
Mind out ! Will you come out ? I’ve a mind to ask you,
Mindlessly and hopelessly in love with you … (repeat to
fade).

Solving the mystery of you,
Isn’t at all that easy to do,
Everyone know that, it’s not enigmatic,
Usually, one plus one makes two,
But your riddle isn’t so automatic.
Solving the mystery of you,
Isn’t at all that easy to do …
Only want to get the answer right, alright ?!
To unravel and analyse, every night, all night,
But, darling, it’s still so difficult,
You remain unfathomable … a catapult,
But your riddle isn’t easy to see at night.
Maybe I need a map or a plan,
To help get you to be my man,
I’m trying to understand, to know what’s true,
Darling, I’m fascinated by the beauty of you.
But your riddle isn’t so easy to know.
Don’t want our love to be a paradox,
Don’t want our romance to be on the rocks,
I marvel at you in awe and wonder,
Help me work things out - I’m going under …
But your riddle’s answer doesn’t ring like thunder.
