I Just Need A Friend

Can you hear me? Listen brother
I just need a friend
I don’t want to come on strong but this is who I am.
Verse 1
Sometimes I feel I’m losing my mind
I may be intense or out of line
If you hear me sounding crazy?
I don’t want to frighten you or anyone away
I only want to tell you – listen to me say
Chorus
I – I just need a friend who’ll hear and
Take some time to understand me
Without being my judge and jury
You might think I’m going crazy but you don’t say it
Thank you
Thank you
I don’t want to come on strong but this is where I am.
Verse 2
Sometimes I know I’m out of control
One minute I’m laughing then baring my soul
Can you hear me? Please hear me!
I don’t want to worry you or scare you away
I only want to reach you – and hold on
Chorus 2
I – I just need a friend who’ll hear and
Take some time to understand me
Without being my judge and jury
And oh – Whichever way this ends I thank you
If there’s some way to reassure you
I don’t mean to put upon you
You might think I’m going crazy but you don’t say it
Thank you
Thank you
Outro
Sometimes – I’m losing it. Sometimes – I’m laughing
Sometimes – I’m out of control – Always - I miss my old life
Can you hear me? Listen sister
I just need a friend
I don’t want to come on strong but please, please hold my hand
Can you hear me? Listen brother
I just need a friend
I don’t want to come on strong but this is where I am

To Love And Be Loved
03:50

To love and be loved
To love and be loved
What more do you want?
That’s the top and bottom of it
What more could you need?
Verse 1
Dreams, dreams get in the way sometimes
It’s hard enough find your way
With both eyes open
Some people want fame & fortune
A way to make their mark
They think they need a bigger picture
A greater story ark
Verse 2
Here, simply in the present
We can see through all the smoke
Find our horizon
And if you still think something’s missing
You can’t find the spark
You need to see the light of reason
That’s burning in your heart
Chorus
Verse 3
Home, with the wolf from the door
I can sort out all the noise
And hear the message
Some people want fame & fortune
A way to make their mark
They think they need a bigger picture
A greater story ark
Chorus
Chorus repeat

We All Need Love
04:50

I’ve been working, wall-to-wall working
But now I have to make some time to change my point of view
Outlook is cloudy when it should have been fine
I can’t keep saying “never mind”
Because I was never mindful
I was never there
I knew that you were with me
Now you’re not there
And oh, we all need love
No-one can live a life alone
And how is it ever meant to be this way?
This endless, friendless feeling
When will my soul start healing?
How do you face up to reality when it all seems so unreal?
I always saw our future differently
That you’d always be with me
You would understand
But you couldn’t wait forever
And now your gone
I know we all need love
And you, you couldn’t live your life alone – that’s how it felt
And how you saw it all so clear
Not waiting anymore
Love walking out the door
Outlook is cloudy when it should have been fine
I can’t keep on saying “oh well, never mind”
This time next week, maybe, I will be flying
But I can’t get away so easily
I know we all need love
And I can’t live my life alone
And how, how is it ever meant to be this way?
This endless, friendless feeling
When will my soul start healing?
Can’t staunch it anymore
Love pouring on the floor

We sit together holding hands talking about the shortcomings of our friends
When we really should know better
You – well you can tell a story too but you never tell me how you feel
When I really should know better
And I – I’m no-one to criticise, and it wouldn’t be telling lies
To say we really should know better
I wouldn’t want you to think I’ve given up
Maybe it’s time to look at us
Chorus
We really should know better
We really should know better now
As Verse
Take some time to think it over stand your ground and have your say
And me with my head in my hands, why can’t I make you understand
That we really should know better
I wouldn’t want you to think I’ve given up
Maybe it’s time to look at us
Chorus
We really should know better
We really should know better now
I wouldn’t want you to think I’ve given up
Maybe its time to look at us
Chorus
We really should know better
We really should know better now
As Verse
Take some time to think it over stand your ground and have your say
Chorus
We really should know better
We really should know better now

Sugar Coated
03:35
|

We sail so close to the wind
At any time, at any time we might fall in
You seem, you seem to be saying
We’ve come so far
We can’t go back but something’s changed
Whenever you start my heart skips a beat
I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to see
I want it
Chorus
Sugar coated, dipped in honey
Wrapped in ribbon
Leave me a lie to believe
We talk of the future and the vision grows
But in your eyes there’s another story; the ending shows
From temper to tender, you seem to be torn
We’ve come this far
We can’t let go but we can’t go on
I give you it all, I give what you need
But then when I call and you won’t speak
Please say something, please say something deep
And meaningful
And sweet
Chorus
Sugar coated, dipped in honey
Wrapped in ribbon
Leave me a lie to believe
I can’t help it if I need it
Sugar coated
Leave me a lie to believe
Sugar coated
Sugar coated
Sugar coated
Sugar coated

Can't Come Back
04:01

Can’t come back if you’ve never been there, You can’t come back if you’ve never been there
You can’t come back if you’ve never been away
Can’t come back if you’ve never been there, You can’t come back if you’ve never been there
You can’t come back if you’ve never been away
Can’t come back
Can’t come back
Can’t come back
Can’t come back
Can’t come back
If you’ve never been away
Can’t come back
Can’t come back
Can’t come back
Can’t come back
Can’t come back
If you’ve never been away
Can’t come back
Can’t come back
Can’t come back
Can’t come back
Can’t come back
If you’ve never been away
Middle 8
I’ve been waiting here all of this time while you’ve been everywhere
The sweet smell of success drifting over; lingering, lingering in the air
Can’t come back
Etc.
