@ALBUM: You And Me Both @BAND: Yazoo (Yaz in the US) @SONG: Nobody's Diary If I wait for just a second more, I know I'll forget what I came here for, My head was so full of things to say, But as I open my lips all my words slip away and anyway, I can't believe you want to turn the page, And move your life onto another stage, You can change the chapter you can change the book, But the story remains the same if you'd take a look. (Chorus) For the times we've had I don't want to be - a page in your diary babe, For the good, the bad I don't want to see - a page in your diary babe, For the happy, the sad - I don't want to be another page in your diary. Perhaps if I held you I could win again, I could take your hands we'd talk and maybe then - That look in your eyes I always recognise, Would tell me everything is gonna be fine, You're gonna be mine for a long time... (Repeat above chorus) @SONG: Softly Over It's over, there's nothing more to say Silent comes the night time, end another summers day I can just remember, or is this the dream that never goes away. (Chorus) Understand me, I'm calling - Understand me, can you hear me call. Night time, surely it's a lie, No-one ever told me, I just let the chance go by Wishing there was time enough, you tell me there's no time, but I can try. (Chorus repeat) Speak now, without the summer light All the words I should have spoken, when you held me tight Still I'll keep in calling, till the morning ends another lonely night. (Chorus repeat) I'll be waiting for you hoping, that someday you'll hear me calling But there's never any answer, just the echo of the call @SONG: Sweet Thing Hey, hey, hey, sweet thing I give in Sweet thing I give in (submission) (Don't you want to right it, fight it) Oh, no, if you don't think it's right Can't change your mind if I talk all night (Don't you want to right it, fight it) Oh, no, 'cos nothing now can keep this a good thing. Hey, hey, hey, sweet thing I give in Sweet thing I give in (submission) (Don't you want to right it, fight it) Just go. I don't want to fight Just take your things And say goodnight (Don't you want to right it, fight it) Just go. 'Cos nothing now can keep this a good thing. Hey, hey, hey how could you be so unkind When you were lying to me all the time You don't need me now your life is fine It's your day now, but it's gonna be mine Oh and what a sweet day. Hey, hey, hey, (Submission) (Don't you want to right it, fight it) Oh, no, if you don't think it's right Can't change your mind if I talk all night (Don't you want to right it, fight it) Oh, no, 'cos nothing now can keep this a good thing. Hey, hey, hey how could you be so unkind When you were lying to me all the time You don't need me now your life is fine It's your day now, but it's gonna be mine Oh and what a sweet day. Sweet thing - I give in Sweet thing - I give in Sweet thing - submission (I give in) Sweet thing - submission (I give in) Sweet thing - submission (I give in) @SONG: Mr Blue Winter sounds the crying Like an old man slowly dying And the only sound, the wind that fills the trees Even colder comes the moon And though it never seems too soon A sudden stillness as the rainfall starts to freeze (Chorus) I'm Mr Blue I'm here to stay with you And no matter what you do When you're lonely - I'll be lonely too (Repeat) I'll come to you at night When all the world is sleeping tight And lie beside you, till the early morning dew You can't hear me, you can't see But you can feel me when you read The folded letter she left addressed to you (Chorus repeat) A young girl, she is shaded Bears the scars that never faded Of the baby that was born on Christmas Day While the heavens sing their song A child's life is never long 'Cos the food supplies will only last a day (Chorus repeat) Patriot emotion, is the cause of the commotion After all there's really no-one here to blame Soldiers taking orders, 'cos we must defend the borders Of our nation (and the other side's the same) (Chorus repeat) @SONG: Good Times (aka Knocking For A Good Time) Sometimes I feel, I'll never belong I want to get there so bad But it's taking so long Sometimes I feel Like letting go But when it comes right down to it, baby Who wants to know? (No-one) (Chorus) And I find (for a good time) I'm knocking for a good time (for a good time) Now I find (for a good time) I'm knocking for a good time (for a good time) Standing on the outside I'm looking in Trying to be heard I don't know where to begin Help me baby show me how To be a part of it all and all Right here - and now (Chorus) Hands are full of silver My pockets full of gold It's time I'm trying to spend And I can't get myself sold I'm a bargain honey I'm a giveaway And you can have it all If you'd use up my day. (Chorus repeat) @SONG: Walk Away From Love Move along you're in my way. I've made my mind up not to stay And it don't matter what you do 'Cos me, I've had enough of you. And you can talk about the good times I can just remember bad times. There ain't nothing left for saying 'Cos there's no way that I'll be staying You tell me to remember When I told you that I'd never walk away (Chorus) Hey baby, don't walk away from love Tell me baby, ain't my love enough, Listen to the things I say And tell me why do you walk away from love? Leave you standing on your own It's time I spent some time alone Need a while to think this out Not sure what it's all about. And it's no use to sit there crying 'Cos I can see you're only lying. Now I'll put the past behind me Run some place where you can't find me. You tell me to remeber When I told you that I'd never walk away. (Chorus repeat) Bags are packed, I just can't wait. Gotta get out before it gets too late, I don't need you any more And I don't need your love for sure. And you can talk about the good times I can just remember bad times. There ain't nothing left for saying 'Cos there no way that I'll be staying You tell me to remember when I told you that I'd never walk away. (Chorus repeat) Don't walk away from love @SONG: Ode To Boy When he moves I watch him from behind He turns and laughter flickers in his eyes Intent and direct when he speaks, I watch his lips And when he drives I love to watch his hand White and smooth almost feminine, almost American, I have to watch him. (Chorus) In his face age descends on youth, exaggeration on the truth He caught me looking then but soon his eyes forgot And everything he seems to do reflects just another shade of blue I saw him searching into you and ached a while I watch his lips caress the glass, His fingers stroke its stem and pass To lift a cigarette at last, he dries his eyes From a shadow by the stair I watch as he weeps unaware That I'm in awe of his despair, but I am there (Chorus repeat) @SONG: Unmarked Go and join the army Said the father to the son See the world around you boy And learn to use a gun Think you're something special Well, we'll make you just the same There's nothing wrong in dying After all, it's just a game - Just a game. Read the morning paper There's a picture of a cross "We were proud in them days" By the way, I think you lost Trust me when I tell you boy That God is on our side Even Jesus cheers us on Against the other side - Against the other side. He who shouts the loudest Is the one who's in control We who never listen Are the ones who pay the toll Tell us that it's time at last To make a final stand I'm glad 'cos all I wanted Was to kill another man - Just to kill another man. @SONG: Anyone Fate took a freeway to my room Said to much while he stayed And left too soon. Bright on an evening sea, He washed in with the tide Deep in each other's dreams Where all but dreams had died. Wretched in your thoughts Gentle hate within the love you bought. Words fade like flowers shadowed There beneath your wall Wind cries from every angle Dead leaves left to wait for fall. And in my darkest hour When I can find no light My goals are out of sight And nothing warms the night. I close my eyes And with such sweet surprise I can be anywhere I can be anyone. And in my darkest hour When I can find no light My goals are out of sight And nothing warms the night. I close my eyes And with such sweet surprise I can be anywhere I can be anything I can be anyone I can be anyone. @SONG: Happy People Take no notice 'cos I'm just the same There's a thousand other faces with the very same name And we look like each other, and we all live together. We talk about the same things And we never try and change things. (Chorus) We're the happy, happy people (repeat) We never give opinions and we never state views After all, you can't be sure that what we say is true And if you want to join us, you can follow on behind us. You can talk about your visions You can make some big decisions. (Chorus repeat) We believe in having fun and smiling all the time And sometimes we're on TV if we're over 69 And when we have a raffle, then it's just a big reshuffle. It's a democratic poll But we're the ones who are in control. (Chorus repeat) @SONG: And On Your mother was crying Your father passed her a handkerchief Their tear-stained faces Looked to mine for a sign of grief A thousand raincoats Always stand around too long But I stayed to talk with you After they had gone. The flowers I brought you Were beginning to fade under the heavy rain Your name on the card had run So I tried in vain to write it again They didn't understand you - No! They didn't even try I'm so glad that you left us now Before you had the chance to die. I sat there for a long time, Expecting to turn and see you there I ran my fingers through the long grass Willing it to turn into your hair - and oh I'm gonna miss you, dear But I don't have to cry I'm so glad that you left us now, Before you had the chance to die And oh, I'm going to miss you dear, But I'm not going to cry I'm so glad that your life stopped now, Before it had the chance to die.
