I'm Moving 04:44
lyrics
I’m going somewhere Yes I know That’s what I always say to you. Waiting for a signal, or something Just to get on the move Yes I’m going, I think I’m going I like to think that’s what I’m meant to do Get a move on So I’m leaving, yes I’m leaving Put all my stuff in the car and I’ll Head for the sun, where the light is Going south, I love it Look for the blue The ocean Find the sun, I’m moving So let me get there I have to go Just open up the front door now A little bit of courage - I need it And then I’ll be on my way All it takes - a bit of effort Just pack a suitcase, and find the car keys Get a move on So I’m leaving, yes I’m leaving Gonna get away from the wind and the rain and Feel the sea breeze on the playa by the palm trees Light a fire Take me higher, take me higher, take me high Head for the sun, where the light is Going south, I love it Look for the blue The ocean Find the sun, and.. I’m… moving

What Happened to Love? 04:08
lyrics
What happened to love Was it just a young man’s dream What happened to love What became of joy and love Tell me that I’m wrong Tell me I’m imagining a world gone mad What happened to love What became of joy and love Didn’t see it was fragile And now it’s slipping away (don’t let it slip away) What’s the future, can I still be an optimist It’s not what I thought it was gonna be, and I’m wondering What happened to the truth What can I be sure about What happened to the truth What became of trust and truth Tell me what you value Tell me something’s out there that you admire What happened to the truth What became of trust and truth What’s the future, can I still be an optimist It’s not what I thought it was gonna be, and I’m wondering

For a While 03:49
lyrics
We do what we can We try to stay true We sing for each other Like I sang with you Now I'm gonna go away for a while I need to hide away for a while You won't see me round here for a while Yes I'm gonna be away for a while I wish you the best I've loved how we played So close to each other Oh the music we made Now I'm gonna go away for a while I need to hide away for a while You won't see me round here for a while Yes I'm gonna be away for a while So maybe one day We'll meet once again Singing together Well I'll see you then Now I'm gonna go away for a while I need to hide away for a while You won't see me round here for a while Yes I'm gonna be away for a while

Blue Genes 05:02
lyrics
I must have got blue genes They gave me their blue genes It feels like blue genes I must have got blue genes There was a time some years ago when I felt like I was winning After losing, after losing half my life (it seemed like it anyway) And then - you came along with your fun and your face and your smiles and your laughing and your grace And I said well - maybe things are gonna look up But they didn’t, did they? I must have got blue genes They gave me their blue genes It feels like blue genes I must have got blue genes No matter how much you cheered me up I could feel myself just slipping Yeah - slipping, slipping and sliding back down again (where I never want to go) But then the kids turned up with their blankets and their toys and their wide open minds - two girls, three boys And I said oh come on grandad and I was OK again for a while In spite of those blue genes They gave me their blue genes It feels like blue genes I must have got blue genes But it’s so good to see them learning stuff so fast, they’re growing, they’re well and they’re happy anticipation, trust and joy there in their eyes (I love seeing that) And you love them too - why wouldn’t you? Just like your mum and your dad loved you And I think I hope they’ve got more of her genes - not mine I must have got blue genes They gave me their blue genes It feels like blue genes I must have got blue genes

Leave It There 04:13
lyrics
Do you want what I want Whatever that might be Do you think like I do Or is it only me Have you got what I need I don’t know what it’s like Something you can give me Get me through the night Put it where you want I don’t care You can leave it anywhere But don’t leave it there Give it to me now I need it right here You can leave it anywhere But don’t leave it there Can you see what I see Somewhere through the blue I don’t know what I’m doing I haven’t got a clue You can go where you want I don’t care You can go anywhere But don’t go there Come back now I need you right here You can go anywhere But don’t go there (under) Falling down, lost the way, what to do. what to say? (x2) Well I thought life was good And I loved who you were Thought the sun shone on me But I made a big mistake Put it back where it was Give me back what I had What we had was so good Now It’s all turned so bad Put it where you want I don’t care You can leave it anywhere But don’t leave it there Give it to me now I need it right here You can leave it anywhere But don’t leave it there

Why Won't You? 05:15
lyrics
I can't hear you What'd you say? Why won't you Why won't you stay? I can't see you Where'd you go? Why won't you? Won't you let me know? I thought you cared about me like I care about you but I guess I was wrong I can't touch you I keep away Why won't you? Why won't you stay? I can't keep you You're on your way Why won't you? Why won't you stay? I thought you cared about me like I cared about you but I guess I was wrong You don't know me now, and I guess you never did You don't know me now, and I wonder why And I sit here by the window, watching and waiting for you to walk back to me Stay here - she don't need you Stay here please Stay here - she don't need you Stay here - do I can't hear you What'd you say? Why won't you Why won't you stay? I can't see you Where'd you go? Why won't you? Won't you let me know? I thought you cared about me like I cared about you but I guess I was wrong You don't know me now, and I guess you never did You don't know me now, and I wonder why And I sit here by the window, watching and waiting for you to walk back to me

Slow 03:59
lyrics
I wait for every morning, I wait again at night I miss you in the daytime, but it feels all right I sense it in the evening when the sun goes down and then It’s the weekend - and I’m coming round again, and I’ll Take it slow Take it slow Take it slow this time I drive into the country, and then I drive back home again Maybe play some music but I never quite know when I get a little edgy, need to calm myself right down Then it’s Saturday evening, and I’m coming into town, and I’ll Take it slow Take it slow Take it slow this time When the summer months are over, and the leaves begin to fall I’m sitting by he window, I’m waiting for your call. And now the phone is ringing, and I wonder what you’ll say You’re coming round to my place, this time you say you’ll stay, and we’ll Take it slow Take it slow Take it slow this time

lyrics
Can we go out for the day I said Yeah She said “where you want to go” I said “anywhere” So we took the train to Liverpool And then we sat there wondering what to do, ooh And I said “I know” And then we started walking We looked here there and everywhere Right down to the Albert Dock - ah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah The big blue coach was waiting Looked just like the one I’d seen before, years before So we got on. The Beatles songs were playing As we drove down Penny Lane And then they played She Loves You, I said Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Then down to Strawberry Fields Passing all their houses on the way, hey hey And we end up in the Cavern Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I was in Beatle heaven Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
