"Compus Mentus" (1992)

No Bad Thing lyrics - Cutting Crew

Little Johnny's painting in his picture book
Pinning all his hopes on toy balloons
But no one taught him how to sing "Jerusalem" at school
Someone's always dicking with the tunes

It's a beautiful day for the children to play
(Isn't that what this should be?)
It's a beautiful world and you're free as a bird
(Ain't no bad thing to believe)
It's a beautiful game and the rules never change
(Isn't that what it should be?)

Isn't this the garden of Gethsemane?
Isn't this where all the children play?
Little Johnny's painting pictures no one else will see
Who are we to rain on his parade?

It's a beautiful day for the children to play
(Isn't that what this should be?)
It's a beautiful world and you're free as a bird
(Ain't no bad thing to believe)
It's a beautiful game and the rules never change
(Isn't that what this should be?)

You don't have to suffer

Happiness in bundles hanging from tall trees
Ladders on the lawn for you and me, (Ain't no bad thing)
Curtains drawn on windows of uncertain certainties
We don't get these premises for free

It's a beautiful day for the children to play
(Isn't that what this should be?)
It's a beautiful world and you're free as a bird
(Ain't no bad thing to believe)
It's a beautiful game and the rules never change
(Isn't that what this should be?)

Mother nature's gift to you and me,
(Ain't no bad thing)

(Another One Of My) Big Ideas lyrics - Cutting Crew

There's a million of us at it
And it's hard to break the habit
But it doesn't mean much to me
Got a million bucks of credit
And they're beggin' us to spend it
But it doesn't mean much to me

I'm planning a secret trip
I'll meet you on the way

It's just another one of my big ideas
It's just another one of my big ideas

(But it's not that I wanted to be that alone)

I got a new technique when I get between the sheets
But it doesn't do much for me
Got a little bag of stuff from a man called John
But it never did much for me

I've hit on a secret cure
To wash away my blues

It's just another one of my big ideas
I took another step in my non-career
It's just another one of my big ideas

Maybe I'll find someone
To share my milky way
But I always seem to wake up
Feelin' sick and bruised inside again

It's just another one of my big ideas
It's just another one of my vintage years
I took another swing from the chandelier
It's just another one of my big ideas

Frigid As England lyrics - Cutting Crew

Be yourself and don't be shy
I said I like you in the daylight, didn't I?
Found you in the rushes, found you screaming
Can't you see love is everything, everything

I didn't care if we flew to hell
Not everyone you see with wings is an angel
Share a halo, hope the lightning misses
But now it strikes, love is...

As wrong as the map that led us to this
As blind as the bat that watched our first kiss
As tame as the moon you held in your hand
As wild as me, and as frigid as England

I was your tramp and your trampoline
I was your plaster, I was your plasticine
Remodel me and dynamite my bridges
I'm a new boy now, love is...

As wrong as the map that led us to this
As blind as the bat that watched our first kiss
As tame as the moon you held in your hand
As wild as me, and as frigid as England

How many letters will you send?
You know I never want to see your face again
Return to the rushes, can't you see love is...

As wrong as the map that led us to this
As blind as the bat that watched our first kiss
As tame as the moon you held in your hand
As wild as me, and as frigid as England

Julie Don't Dance lyrics - Cutting Crew

Makes her entrance through the door
Everybody knows the score
And you can feel her body move
You've been here once before
You got burned once too often

There's a hole in Daddy's nose
That's where all your money goes
You think nobody can see
When everybody else goes home
You're coming back for more

Julie don't dance for the money
Julie don't dance for the rock and roll
Julie don't dance for the money
Julie don't keep no body score
Julie don't dance for the money
She dances 'til her daddy takes her home
Julie don't need nobody
She can take anybody that she needs
Fakin' up all that honey
Huh -then watch 'em bleed
Julie don't dance for the money
She dances 'til her daddy takes her home

Trick or treat your game is lost
Everytime a stranger knocks
But still the piper's never paid
The hollow dreams of night
Have suckered you again

Daddy's found his sacred cow
Julie's your religion now
You're such a willing sacrifice
And in your fantasy she's everything
And everything is Julie

Julie don't dance for the money
Julie don't dance for the rock and roll
Julie don't dance for the money
Julie don't keep no body score
Julie don't dance for the money
She dances 'til her daddy takes her home
Julie don't need nobody
She can take anybody that she needs
Fakin' up all that honey
Huh -then watch 'em bleed
Julie don't dance for the money
She dances 'til her daddy takes her home

If That's The Way You Want It lyrics - Cutting Crew

You can stab my back, you can steal my flag
But it's alright
Little sticks and stones, break my brittle bones
But I'm alright
Every single day is a little step closer to my new heaven

If that's the way you want it
That's the way you'll get it
If that's what you're thinking
Don't think you won't regret it
If that's the way you see it
Just reach out and touch it
But you better beware it don't burn your hands
So step back and step back
Don't cry, don't cry

I am strong enough, I'm made of serious stuff
Yes I'm alright
You can sling your mud, yeah even draw a little blood
But I'm still alive
Every single word, you're serving up as hot air for my big balloon

If that's the way you want it
That's the way you'll get it
If that's what you're thinking
Don't think you won't regret it
If that's the way you see it
Just reach out and touch it
But you better beware it don't burn your hands
So step back and step back
Don't cry, don't cry

So you bought your new dream
But you're payin' with your dignity so dearly
Don't cry, don't cry

Need Someone lyrics - Cutting Crew

You say you feel all alone tonight
Just pick up the phone and call
You say that you don't need anybody
So there's nobody takin' you home

Whenever you need someone
Whenever the time feels right
Whenever you need someone
You call on me, you call on me
('cos I ain't going nowhere)

You got so much to give out to the world
But you're keepin' it all inside
You got more money than you got sense
So you gamble away your life

You've been out to the end of the line
There's not enough love in your world

Whenever you need someone
Whenever the time feels right
Whenever you need someone
You call on me, just call on me
Whenever you need someone
Remember the tide can turn
And you're gonna need someone
So call on me, call on me, let it be me, call on me

You've been out to the end of the line
There's not enough love in your world

Your Guess Is As Good As Mine lyrics - Cutting Crew

What colour is your army, is it red or is it green?
Is it full of fundamentalists with loaded magazines?
Or are you preaching charity from fancy limousines?
I've lost the plot...

What colour is your flag today? it changes every year
Does it stand for cornucopia or politics of fear?
'Cos I'm gun shy, gun shy, gun shy
And I've lost the plot...

What's a Holy War? And who's keepin' score?
Isn't God your own invention
My mind's made up, I'm gonna keep my head down
Buried in the sand
Your guess is as good as mine

What colour is your party, is it black or is it blue?
I've bought your manifestoes but I'm still without a clue
You're asking me to cast a vote of confidence in you-
I've lost the plot...

There's a party on the left, there's a party on the right
And I've got my invitation
But the food's all cold and the band's too old
They're just not playin' my kind of music!
Play on...
Your guess is as good as mine

Ricochet lyrics - Cutting Crew

It's so hard, there's no words
When I think about you baby
No moves can undo, what I think bout you baby
You're shooting high and reached your sky
And nothing can bring you down

You bought a ticket, now you're on your way
But you don't worry 'bout the price you paid
A lover and a fighter but you blew your aim
And I got caught by the ricochet
Yeah I got caught by the ricochet

I'm mixed up, gotta pick myself up
And look straight ahead
It's no use, gotta stick to my roots and give as I get
But I can't fight, she's shooting blind
And nothing can stop her now

You bought a ticket, now you're on your way
But you don't worry 'bout the price you paid
A lover and a fighter but you blew your aim
And I got caught by the ricochet
Yeah I got caught by the ricochet

Sweet Auburn lyrics - Cutting Crew

Run Sweet Auburn find your face
Another crowd another place, you ain't changed a thing
'Cos you're the girl who used to smile
Stayed up all night on the crooked mile, that's how it used to be
But even the sweetest auburn fades like colous do

How many roads do I have to take
Before I catch up with you baby?
How much love do I have to waste
Before you believe what I say?

Go on take the horseshoe from your glove
'Cos I've got balls to call your bluff, no I ain't dead yet
Being everybody's darlin' ain't easy
You can keep your sugar and sympathy
'Cause even the sweetest auburn fades like colous do

How many roads do I have to take
Before I catch up with you baby?
How much love do I have to waste
Before you believe what I say?
How many hearts do you have to break
To get what you needed?
There's not enough time for us to waste
If only you'd hear what I say

In the middle of the night
I could swear I heard her calling
In the middle of the day
How many roads?

How many roads do I have to take
Before I catch up with you baby?
How much love do I have to waste
Before you believe what I say?
How many hearts do you have to break
To get what you needed?
There's not enough time for us to waste
If only you'd hear what I say

In the middle of the night (How many roads?)
Swear I heard you calling (How many hearts?)
In the middle of the day (How much love/How many words?)

Crooked Mile lyrics - Cutting Crew

Anyone can see what a long way home it's been
Nothing comes for free
Money talks and buys your dreams

It's a merry go
You gotta go around until you make your name
Do you wanna go
Have another go and do it all again?

Just pick your feet up
(You got to walk that crooked mile)
Don't mess your beat up
(When you talk that crooked style)
Just pick your feet up
(Got to walk that crooked mile)
It's all talk, it's all talk
So just walk

Find a silver coin
Save it for your rainy day
But when it comes to spend
It's pissing down on your parade

Need a job
Gotta find a job but you might as well go
Sell a fridge
Try to sell a fridge to an Eskimo

Well just pick your feet up
(You got to walk that crooked mile)
Don't mess your beat up
(When you talk that crooked style)
Just pick your feet up
(Got to walk that crooked mile)
It's all talk, it's all talk
So just walk...
Mary Mary quite contraire
Silver bells and golden hair
What would make your garden grow?
Cash bags in a row!!!

Don't Let It Bring You Down lyrics - Cutting Crew

Make me a promise you can't keep
Tell a joke that's not too deep
'Cos I'm out of double meanings

Throw me a rope that I can't reach
As you lay back on your beach
I'm not waving, only drowning
But don't let it bring you down
Don't let it bring you down

Who asked you for your advice?
Who asked you to interfere?
All my life you kept the lights out
Now it seems so clear
Who asked you to criticise?
I don't need no volunteer
So when they come to put the fires out
I might not be here

Don't let it bring you down
Don't let it bring you down

Buy me a beer that I can taste
Like the kisses that you waste
'Cos I'm out of legal tender

Big deal, there's a little rust in my piano
A few more lines upon my face
There's corrosion in my fingers
But don't let it bring you down
Don't let it bring you down

Who asked you for your advice?
Who asked you to interfere?
All my life you kept the fire on
It still gets cold in here
Who asked you to sympathise?
I don't need your volant tears
So when they come to turn the lights out
I might not be here

Don't let it bring you down
Don't let it bring you down

All The Way In lyrics - Cutting Crew

Put it all the way in, don't go half way
No need to play it safe, go get it all the way in
Shed off those old tattoos, stop reading yesterday's news
Put a match to the fuse, get it all the way in

Bury those bones in the sand, get hung for a sheep as a lamb
I'll still be your biggest fan
'Cos I'll believe, if you believe
Go on take your applause, until old Niagara Falls
'til it's too late to call
Get it all the way in.

"The Scattering" (1989)

Year In The Wilderness lyrics - Cutting Crew

Some things get started
Some things get finished then fade away,
But some of us made our own rules from the start
A year in the wilderness
We sat it out now we're home again
And playin'....
Into the den with the lions
Too many good friends I lost
They say it's a price you pay
So don't try to force my hand
I can't give any more.
We'll cut every corner to cross every border
Hello again!
Play...
Into the den with the lions
It's so good to be home
Back into the den with the lions.
Deep in my darkest of hours
I find myself all alone
I hear a voice and I look to the sky
There was an eagle
An eagle that's flying into the sun,
(and he whispered)
Play...
Into the den with the lions
It's so good to be home
I'm falling -back into the den with the lions
feels so good to be home...

The Scattering lyrics - Cutting Crew

Boys and girls will see in time
That they were wrong to go
Fires don't burn at home, like they
Used to burn, those nights
Grew so long

The scattering
(All the children say)
Will come again
(It's taken them away)
No seeds to fall
(All the children say)
No sons to blame
As one by one they left home

Tired old men
Spin tales of when
A man could work
And hold his head up high
Ghosts roam this town
With pockets full of rye they'd all fall down
But soon their jars all ran dry

The scattering
(All the children say)
Will come again
(It's taken them away)
No seeds to fall
(All the children say)
No sons to blame
As one by one they left home

The scattering
(All the children say)
Has come again
(It's taken them away)
No seeds to fall
(All the children say)
Like better days

The scattering
(All the children say)
Has come again
(It's taken them away)
But if skies could fall
(All the children say)
With harvest rain
Then one by one...
They'll come home

Big Noise lyrics - Cutting Crew

One more to tie to the whipping post
Papers that peddle the holy ghost
Once more the victim of circumstance pays

If paper plates serve the final feast
Sharpen your knives for a front page piece
Sitting safe in the front row seats

You make a big noise
Big fire
Big noise
You and the big boys are playin' with fire
Big noise

You'd take me down to a peeping show
Frame me in photos in old soho
Now who's gonna give me a second chance?

You make a big noise
Big fire
Big noise
You and the big boys are playin' with fire
Big noise

Try to give me one thing
Straight from the heart
Straight from the heart...

So make a big noise
Big fire
Big noise
You and the big boys are playin' with fire
Big noise...
And when the smoke clears
There's no fire
Big noise
(Straight from the heart?)

Everything But My Pride lyrics - Cutting Crew

If you should walk away
Take this broken heart
And if you walk away
You'll never know what's left behind
Go on and get away
Don't you leave a trace
And as you walk away
You can take most every...

Everything but my pride
Everything but the rings on my finger
Everything but my pride

I like the room this way
I like this bed unmade
We never laughed enough
But you laugh alone today
So don't you ever say
You feel that you've had all you can take
You've already taken...

Everything but my pride
Everything but the rings on my finger
Everything but my pride
Everything but the rings on my finger

I never thought it'd come to this
(Keep walkin')
Never known a night like this
(Keep walkin')
Never thought you'd walk away
(Keep walkin')
But you did
When we'd almost made it

Everything (but my pride)
Everything (but the rings on my finger)
Everything but my pride
You can take everything but you'll leave me
Leave me with my pride
Everything,
Everything but my pride
Everything but the rings on my finger

Handcuffs For Houdini lyrics - Cutting Crew

Don't talk about commitment
Don't talk about it here
Don't talk about the russians
Don't mention your fears
Don't talk about the black man
Don't talk about the rope
It only causes problems
We got plenty of those, I said

Don't talk about it, don't talk...

Sing a song of sixpence
A packet full of lies
Don't dare to love your children
Just let the baby cry
But when the pie was opened
They'd forgotten how to sing
There was larry, moe and curly joe
And martin luther king....

(Don't talk about it)

Like handcuffs for houdini
This whole thing is a con
You know what's gonna happen
But you don't know how it's done
Somebody he once told me
That the key was in his mouth
Like handcuffs and houdini
It looks so simple
But you just can't work it out

Don't talk about it, don't talk...

(Between A) Rock And A Hard Place lyrics - Cutting Crew

Between a rock
Between a rock and a hard place
There's a beating heart
Watching the lights go down on my world
Stoney faced
Letting the rope slip though my fingers
Ain't nothin' straight, always a riddle
Caught up in the middle of the party line
I got a brick but I can't find a window
Take me to your shelter...
Between a rock
Between a rock and a hard place (you better lay your money down)
You'll never stop
What you started in the first place
Between a rock
You gotta roll with the punches baby
Between a rock and a hard place...
There's so many words
You place your bet you take your chances
The dealer pays
But he'll never let you leave the table
They're gonna take you lock, stock and barrel
Down to the knuckle, down on your luck
And when they've stripped you of all resistance
You can take you place...
Between a rock
Between a rock and a hard place (you gotta lay your money down)
You'll never stop
What you started in the first place
Between a rock
You gotta roll with the punches baby
Between a rock and a hard place...

It'll take all your money
We think we like it here
Between a rock (you gotta roll with the punches baby)
Between a rock and a hard place

Tip Of Your Tongue lyrics - Cutting Crew

I could be your new tomorrow
I could be your shining star
And if you should dare to follow
Woe betide your beating heart
I said -you make it happen
-you make it right
-you do things to me
Right through the night

Call me
(when you can't take the hunger
I'm on the tip of your tongue
(desire will pull you under)
I'm on the tip of your tongue

Take me slowly, take me quickly
Take me to your eastern sky
Through the mirrors on your ceiling
You lay bare your dark desire
I said -you make it happen
-you make it last
-you give things to me
Right on through the night

Call me
(when you can't take the hunger
I'm on the tip of your tongue
(desire will pull you under)
I'm on the tip of your tongue
(we'll sow the seeds 'til slumber)
I'm on the tip of your tongue

All that you want
All that you give
All you say
All that you feel

Call me
(when you can't take the hunger
I'm on the tip of your tongue
(desire will pull you under)
I'm on the tip of your tongue
(when every juice is flowing)
I'm on the tip of your tongue
(we'll sow the seeds 'til slumber)
I'm on the tip of your tongue

Reach For The Sky lyrics - Cutting Crew

Reach for the sky babe
Make it to heaven
Before your dreams grow old
Reach for the sky babe
It's over your shoulder
Reach for your dawn's own light

I don't believe in miracles
But I do believe in fate
And I do believe it's calling your name
Don't depend on lucky breaks
If luck is on your side
It's just the joker playing in your game
You can see the chances coming
But you look the other way
At the risk of sounding helpless girl
That's where we went wrong...

Reach for the sky babe
Make it to heaven
Before your dreams grow old
No one's so blind girl
It's over your shoulder
Reach for your dawn's own light

Don't tell me you're not satisfied
Don't tell me you can't wait to find
A reason for the rocks upon your road
Educate your appetite
With a capital "A"
Learn to let me help you share the load
But you keep me at your distance
As the tears begin to show
So I really hope you make it girl
Before I go

Reach for the sky babe
Make it to heaven
Before your dreams grow old
No one's so blind girl
It's over your shoulder
Reach for your dawn's own light

(It's all up to you)

The Last Thing lyrics - Cutting Crew

I won't wait for you, I won't wait for you
In the morning
Cause the last thing that I want
Is to see you cry

And I won't ask of you, and I won't ask of you
No secrets
Cause I don't want to be the one
To see you cry

Help me mama, help me mama
Through these things I feel
Help me father, help me father
Through these things I feel
So I can believe...

So I won't shelter you, I won't shelter you
In the morning
Cause the last thing that I want
Is to see you cry

Help me mama, help me mama
Through these things I feel
Help me father, help me father
Through these things I feel
So I can believe...

So I won't give to you, I won't give to you
Forgiveness
Cause the last thing that I want
Is to see you cry
No the last thing that I want
Is to see you cry
No the last thing that I want
Is to see you cry

Feel The Wedge lyrics - Cutting Crew

Like a blind man takes pictures
We pretended we could see
But it took all of our money
And it took you and me

There's a space in between us
But it's not inside my head
You can feel it all around you
Welcome to the wedge

Cos it's black and it's white
But invisible
So don't sign your name
It'll take all your trust if you let it
But never the blame

Feel the wedge
You can look in its face but you can't see its eyes

From a dark and vicious circle
We were trying to break out
So sick and tired of second guessing
Dancing to the steps of doubt
The changes were blowing
Do you remember the hurricane?
But when big john took his final swin
We knew that nothing stayed the same

With a whambamagram it started
The saddest of days
Don't dare to ask was it worth it
I'm too broke to say

Feel the wedge...
I could take all the bullshit but never the lies

Over turns to under
Truth becomes a maybe
Six and five will still be ten
It's black and white and
It's not here tonight
It could be my friend

Feel the wedge
I have looked in its face
But you can't see it's eyes

Brag lyrics - Cutting Crew

And though the fires are burning
Under the pillars of learning
I hear the wind is still howling "go home"
And looking out of your window
You see a brave new tomorrow
And no one is standing in your way

When everything is done
The war is never won
He's standing all alone
The russian winds blow cold
His story must be told
The great one-handed brag

Through all the bodies decaying
You come up smelling of roses
You take the final decision
To carry on
You think of sweet Josephine
Back home where fields were green
And no sweat, no blood, no stench,
No mortal coil.

When everything is done
The war is never won
He's standing all alone
The russian winds blow cold
His story must be told
The great one-handed brag

In colorful blue
Sur les grands océans
J'entends le vent souffler me dire
C'est la retraite

Oh
And the boys are all in retreat
You'd better wise up and face defeat
And half a million men lie dying

When everything is done
The war is never won
He's standing all alone
The russian winds blow cold
The story must be told
The great one-handed brag

"Broadcast" (1986)

Any Colour lyrics - Cutting Crew

I dream, dream of a lonely girl
Who sleeps, lost in her lonely world
Any sunset I'd give to you
Any colour that you like, all for you

She wakes wrapped in her naked room
The air filled with a sweet perfume
Any rainbow I'll save for you
Any colour that you like, all for you

I've waited, I've waited so long for you
To show my true colours come shining through

I dream, dream of a distant girl
Who sleeps, lost in a lonely world
In a diamond, I'll shine for you
Any colour that you like, all for you

One For The Mockingbird lyrics - Cutting Crew

I have learnt through all my past mistakes
Not to let the hurdles sap my energy
Time will tell and time is all it takes
You won't see the bastards knock the running out of me

And the band, they played one more song
One for the mocking bird, they played one more song
All the tears, they fell one by one
All for the mocking-bird, they fell one by one

Don't be fooled by those who feed you words
They just twist and tighten up the tourniquet
But the sweetest song of all the mocking-birds
Couldn't hope to match one note of any song we played

And the band, they played one more song
One for the mocking bird, they played one more song
All the dreams, they broke one by one
All for the mocking-bird, they broke one by one

What are you hiding from?
Why do you lock the door?
Open up the door!

And the band, they played...

I have learnt, time will tell, years will pass, tears will fall,
Don't be fooled, fed by words, their sweet songs,
Mocking-birds!

I've Been In Love Before lyrics - Cutting Crew

Oooh, oo oooh, cha
Catch my breath, close my eyes
Don't believe a word
Things she said, overheard
Something wrong inside
Hits you in a minute, oooh
Then you know you're in it, aah

I've been in love before
I've been in love before
The hardest part is when you're in it
I've been in love before
I've been in love before

Just one touch, just one look
A dangerous dance
One small word can make me feel
Like running away
You can't say you're in it, no, until you reach the limit

I've been in love before
I've been in love before
The hardest part is when you're in it
I've been in love before
I've been in love before

I've been in love before
I've been in love before
The hardest part is when you're in it
I've been in love before
I've been in love before

I've been in love
The hardest part is when you're in it
I've been in love
I've been in love before

Life In A Dangerous Time lyrics - Cutting Crew

Put it down to the fighting
Put it down to the fools who play in the game
I'm picking up second sight
I'm picking up tired ways

But you better believe it
Oh you better believe before it's too late
I'm feeling like letting go
Of living in a dangerous time

It must've been lonely, it must've been cold
It must've been something
Life in a dangerous time
Is there life in a dangerous time?

Coming out of the shadows
Coming out of the darkness into the light
It's bright enough to show the way
Enough to face another day

It's a curious feeling
It's a feeling of reaching up to the sky
I'll never think of letting go
Of living in a dangerous time

It must've been lonely...

"Fear Of Falling lyrics - Cutting Crew

Midnight, feels like it's shining on me
Moonlight, taxis roll in from the sea
Shots in the dark, slaves to the big city beat

Heroes, toasted and sent to the wall
Zeroes, bleed you and laugh in your face
My kind of town is anywhere else but this place
But who can walk on the water?

I can help this fear of falling
I can help this fear of letting go
I can help this fear of falling
I can help this fear of letting go

Hold on, check out and check out the fools
Don't you, forget the, the golden rule
Don't let them win
Start making plans of your own
'Cos you can get what you wanted!

I can help...

(I Just) Died In Your Arms lyrics - Cutting Crew


Oh, I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

I keep looking for something I can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don't see an easy way
To get out of this

Her diary sits by the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cat's in her cradle
Who would've thought
That a boy like me could come to this?

Oh-oh-oh, whoa
Oh, I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh-oh-oh, whoa

Oh, I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away
I should've walked away

Is there any just cause for feeling like this?
On the surface, I'm a name on a list
I try to be discreet
But then blow it again

I've lost and found, it's my final mistake
She's loving by proxy, no give and all take
'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy
One too many times

Oh-oh-oh, whoa
Oh, I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

Oh, I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away
I should've walked away

It was a long hot night
She made it easy, she made it feel right
But now it's over, the moment is gone
I followed my hands, not my head
I know I was wrong

Oh, I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

Oh, I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away
I should've walked away

Don't Look Back lyrics - Cutting Crew

I never knew what it meant to me
'Till someone just took the best of me
If it's some kind of conspiracy
Then no-one gets to the rest of me

I'm turning over leaves I'm holding up my head
I'm healing over hurt and learning to forget

Don't look back, let it fade and let it go
Don't look back, let it fade and let it go

You make your way in a crazy world
Get all mixed up by a crazy girl
When all you want is some honesty
But then all she gives you is sympathy

I'm opening new doors, I'm clearing out the shelf
I'm loosening my act and laughing to myself

Don't look back...

Don't be afraid of the choices you've made
And try not to give any quarter
There's no more to say
I'm walking away and I'll never look back

Don't look back...

Sahara lyrics - Cutting Crew

Don't let love let you down
It's been fine up to now
Sahara, I just walked into your world
Sahara, don't walk out on me now

Don't let time tie you down
It's been fine up to now
Sahara, there is life in the desert
Sahara, let the sands run away

But in my heart and in my head
I know that she'll wait for me
Sahara brings me down
She will take up all your time
Then she'll laugh and cut you down
Do you still hold a light for ... for me?

Don't let fires burn too low
Wild-eyed winds they still blow
Sahara, I just walked into your world
Sahara, don't walk out on me now

But in my heart...

It Shouldn't Take Too Long lyrics - Cutting Crew

Too many times have I told you, feel your way
If it's question of answers, then have your say
Don't go giving me reasons, we all have a price
And in that moment of indecision, you'll never understand why

It shouldn't take too long, to set the thing moving
It shouldn't take too long, so long as you believe it
It shouldn't take too long, (to get what you want)

Forget the popular notion, lead the way
You've never known what you wanted until today
Through fire and water, you, you can survive
To make the best of the situation, you have to understand why

It shouldn't take too long...

When I was a boy in the summer rain
Every hour seemed days to me

It shouldn't take too long...

The Broadcast lyrics - Cutting Crew

Believe me when I say to you
That every word is true
That a change is going to come
You can hear it in the broadcast on your radio

Why are you running, was it something that somebody said?
What are you hiding from, are the voices alone in your head?
I can make it look natural 'cos the more that you see
It's the less that you know, it's the more that you give

Believe me when they call for you
As you cry out in the night
These four suspicious riders have been circling the borders
of your bungalow
But how they ever got to you
I swear I'll never know
Was it just the laws of nature that's been causing all the
voices on your telephone?

Why are you running...

Believe me and I'll pray for you (we'll give you what you wanted)
With all my fickle heart
I could sell you hallelujahs recorded on a chrome cassette in stereo
So come and make your home with me
It really isn't far
Fly down to California and become a Christian soldier on
My late, late show

Why are you running...

Christians - Cutting Crew

(Dance you bastards!)
The windows are open and I've been wide awake for so long
The waiting is over cause I've been holding out for so long (so long)
Cause I can feel it now it's rushing over me
Cause I've been waiting so long, so long

Christians
Can you hear me
Are you lonely
Or is this just another lazy day

Christians
Are you out there
Can you hear me
Is this just another lazy day

The silence has broken
The waiting is over cause I've been wide awake for so long (so long)
Cause I can feel it now it's rushing over me
Cause I've been waiting so long, so long

Christians
Can you hear me
Are you lonely
Or is this just another lazy day

Christians
Are you waiting
Are you out there
Or is this just another rainy day

Christians
Can you hear me
Are you lonely
Hear me
Can you hear me, hear me
Just another rainy day

Christians
Can you hear me, are you out there
Watch you push us
Or is this just another rainy day

Mirror And A Blade lyrics - Cutting Crew

It doesn't really matter what you think of him
It couldn't happen to a nicer boy
Silver charms, golden opportunities
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
It couldn't happen

Has an obsession, personal security
He won a medal working overseas
Double vision piling on the agony
He's just looking, he's just running
He's just looking, he's just working

For a mirror and blade
Seeing double and he's fading fast (no oh)
Seeing double and he's fading fast (no oh)
Seeing double and he's fading fast

Flight arrivals, seven thirty local hours
A pretty package from Johannesburg
Double-vision piling on the agony
Head spinning, struggle and he realized
Still looking, still running

For a mirror and a blade
Seeing double and he's fading fast (no oh)
Seeing double and he's fading fast (no oh)
Seeing double and he's fading fast

Too tired too tired too tired too tired too tired
Too tired too tired too tired too tired too tired
Too tired to see

I heard the sirens, just another casualty
He left a message on the bathroom wall
He never took those golden opportunities
He's not looking, he's not working

For a mirror and a blade
Seeing double and he's fading fast (no oh)
Seeing double and he's fading fast (no oh)
Seeing double and he's fading fast (no oh)
Seeing double and he's fading fast
