I'm just half of the moon. 

Ten years spent together 

and not once did I ever 

think that 

you'd leave me this way, 

for better or worse 

has turned into a curse 

and your illness 

will take you away 

so I look into your eyes 

and then realize 

that the angels 

will be coming quite soon 

cos you and I know 

that shortly you'll go 

and alone 

I'm just half of the moon. 

I can feel my tears falling 

and mem'ries start calling 

as you fall asleep 

on our bed, 

days full of laughter 

I'll remember long after 

you're gone 

and I'm left just as dead 

for you half-way complete me 

I half-way complete you 

together 

we're one shining moon 

but you and I know 

that shortly you'll go 

and alone 

I'm just half of the moon. 

JUST GETTIN BY 

I meet friends they ask, ‘How you doin?' 

I tell them, ‘Just gettin by' 

they all know that you an I parted 

so they nod and understand why. 

Some of the ladies they hug me 

guys don't know how to try 

it's hard to make conversation 

when your soul it just wants to cry. 

When your soul wants to cry 

when your soul wants to cry 

livin a life that's so empty 

first time I've wanted to die. 

I pass all the places in town 

places we used to go 

so many scenes that still haunt me 

too many people I know. 

They'd all be askin the same question 

if I go in on my own 

I can't face havin to tell them 

you've left and I'm here all alone. 

When your soul wants to cry 

when your soul wants to cry 

livin a life that's so empty 

first time I've wanted to die. 

They say that time's the great healer 

but I don't think it's workin for me 

it's been over three months since we parted 

I'm still down as far as can be. 

A friend said I'd meet someone else soon 

just gotta get out the door 

said I can't stay single forever 

but I don't get around much no more. 

When your soul wants to cry 

when your soul wants to cry 

livin a life that's so empty 

first time I've wanted to die. 

Drivin my car home from work 

saw you last nite just by chance 

you looked the way I first saw you 

when we started that magic romance. 

Pulled over an made a decision 

to ask could we give it a go 

then your new man strolled up an he kissed you 

arm in arm you went into a show. 

So I'm leavin my home town tomorrow 

leavin the places I know 

my heart won't let go of our mem'ries 

but my head tells me it's time to go. 

When your soul wants to cry 

when your soul wants to cry 

livin a life that's so empty 

it's time I stopped wantin to die. 

I WELCOME THE NIGHT 

Warm feelin inside me 

as I welcome the night 

dark cold all around 

stars shinin bright. 

Day's work done 

ready for bed 

you've beat me to it 

you're already ahead. 

Soft lights in our bedroom 

you look cosy an warm 

I hear distant thunder 

we're in for a storm. 

How I welcome the night 

with the stars shinin bright 

or the rain or the hail or the snow 

we're always together 

don't mind what's the weather 

feelin so good I just glow. 

I slip in beside you 

an flick out the light 

try not to disturb you 

I welcome the night. 

I slip my arm round you 

feel you snugglin near 

rain stars a-fallin 

where skies once were clear. 

We're warm an together 

an here's what I pray 

that forever an ever 

together we stay. 

We drift off to sleep 

another day done 

warm and in love 

two hearts beatin as one. 

How I welcome the night 

with the stars shinin bright 

or the rain or the hail or the snow 

we're always together 

don't mind what's the weather 

feelin so good I just glow. 

DISH OF THE DAY 

Been eatin a dish quite a lot lately 

a dish that I've come to hate 

get it for breakfast an dinner 

an even sometimes get it quite late. 

Getting quite sick of that dish now 

eatin it day after day 

quite frankly I'd rather go hungry 

than to see it headin my way. 

And the dish? I hear you cry 

what's this dish? I hear you cry 

well you might have had some yourself once 

for the dish it is called humble pie! 

Seem to have had it for weeks now 

the damned stuff won't go away 

no matter how much I behave myself 

there's humble pie comin my way. 

Had me a word with the Good Lord 

asked Him how do things look? 

no reply from the Almighty 

so I figure that He's the Chief Cook. 

And the dish? I hear you cry 

what's this dish? I hear you cry 

well you might have had some yourself once 

for the dish it is called humble pie! 

Headed out to my favourite bar 

saw everybody I know 

had me a few beers then got hungry 

I knew just where I had to go. 

The waitress she smiled at the drive-thru 

told her cheeseburger an fries 

but when I opened the bag in my pick-up 

it was more of that damned humble pie. 

And the dish? I hear you cry 

what's this dish? I hear you cry 

well you might have had some yourself once 

for the dish it is called humble pie! 

Getting resigned to my fate just now 

been eatin that dish quite a lot late 

the only good thing I can tell you 

is that it's sure helpin me to lose weight. 

So pay good attention you folks out there 

cos I don't want it happ'nin to you 

be careful an honest as you pass thru life 

or that dish will be headin for you. 

And the dish? I hear you cry 

what's this dish? I hear you cry 

well you might have had some yourself once 

for the dish it is called humble pie! 

SAW THIS MAN 

Saw this man, haunted look on his face 

such deep sadness, never seen it any place 

lines of sorrow on his brow 

wish I could cheer him up somehow 

looks like he's 

lost his lovin 

lost his livin 

lost his way. 

Saw this man with great pain in his eyes 

could see him as he bows his head an cries 

bitter tears into the night 

or at dawn's bright early light 

looks like he's 

lost his lovin 

lost his livin 

lost his way. 

Saw this man his black hair was turnin grey 

an his clothes looked like they'd seen better days 

I bet he ain't got a dime 

just endless problems on his mind 

looks like he's 

lost his lovin 

lost his livin 

lost his way. 

That man I was starin at today 

was myself standin in a shop doorway 

in the window of the store 

saw my reflection an much more 

looks like I've 

lost my lovin 

lost my livin 

lost my way. 

Now it seems like only yesterday 

I was up there winnin, thought I'd stay 

but bad luck can hit you, brother 

leads to one thing then another 

that's when I 

lost my lovin 

lost my lovin 

lost my way. 

So if you'll excuse me I must be on my way 

headin back to where the homeless people stay 

lost my job, my home, my wife 

need some purpose in this life 

because I've 

lost my lovin 

lost my livin 

lost my way. 

ALL YOU CAN DO 

Every day 

is an uphill struggle 

every day 

seems to bring more trouble 

comes out of the blue 

heads straight towards you 

not a lot you can do. 

Every day 

there's that low down feelin 

there's more bad news 

sends your head a-reelin 

comes out of the blue 

heads straight towards you 

not a lot you can do. 

Every day 

life just gets tougher 

there's no good times 

things just get rougher 

comes out of the blue 

heads straight towards you 

no escape route for you 

not a lot you can do. 

Every day 

gotta drag yourself thru it 

there's no good luck 

think you already blew it 

everythin lookin blue 

headin straight towards you 

no escape route for you 

not a lot you can do. 

Looks like 

the best days have departed 

you gotta change 

get a new life started 

head out of the blue 

start things anew 

a new life for you 

it's all you can do 

all you can do 

all you can do 

an it's all up to you. 

HURTIN REAL BAD 

I'm hurtin real bad 

ten times worse than sad 

an there's no-one around to say ‘Hi' 

no-one I can talk to 

no-one to unlock to 

spend most nites alone an just cry. 

Strange how life changes 

everythin re-arranges 

when you lose all the ones you hold dear 

now dark days lie ahead 

the nites I just dread 

where do I go to from here? 

For a while there you're winnin 

wake up an you're grinnin 

you're lovin the start of the day 

your family are wakin 

the kids don't need shakin 

an the dog he just can't wait to play. 

Strange how life changes 

everythin re-arranges 

when you lose all the ones you hold dear 

now dark days lie ahead 

the nites I just dread 

where do I go to from here? 

Our life seemed secure 

my job an yours 

no more mortgage to pay 

the present just right 

the future seemed bright 

the kids gettin smarter each day. 

Strange how life changes 

everythin re-arranges 

when you lose all the ones you hold dear 

now dark days lie ahead 

the nites I just dread 

where do I go to from here? 

You had picked up the kids 

as you usually did 

you told me you loved the school run 

our dog was there too 

snuggled up next to you 

with the kids in the back havin fun. 

Then straight out the blue 

a drunk slammed into you 

he'd taken the corner too fast 

screechin of tyres 

both cars caught on fire 

no-one survived in the blast. 

Strange how life changes 

everythin re-arranges 

when you lose all the ones you hold dear 

now dark days lie ahead 

the nites I just dread 

where do I go to from here? 

Now I'm hurtin real bad 

ten times worse than sad 

an there's no-one around to say ‘Hi' 

no-one I can talk to 

no-one to unlock to 

spend most nites alone an just cry. 

YOU'RE BREAKING THE SPELL 

Well it comes as no surprise 

that you're telling me more lies 

tell me do you memorize 

all your lines? 

Like when you say you're working late 

and that dinner's gonna have to wait 

why can't you just play it straight 

for one time? 

It's not like it was 

it's not like it was before, 

don't know what to say 

don't know what to say anymore... 

don't think you realize 

how much you hypnotize 

me with those dark brown eyes 

but you're breaking the spell 

with your lies. 

It's getting difficult to believe 

when you say you're not gonna leave 

never dreamed that you'd deceive 

me at all. 

And when I try to talk to you 

it's just not easy to get through 

you always have so much to do 

all the time. 

It's not like it was 

it's not like it was before, 

don't know how to act 

don't know how to act anymore... 

don't think you realize 

how much you hypnotize 

me with those dark brown eyes 

but you're breaking the spell 

with your lies. 

Another night sitting on my own 

waiting up for you to get home 

staring at the telephone 

wish you'd call. 

What kind of game is this to play 

tearing me up day after day 

why don't you just come out and say 

that we're through? 

It's not like it was 

it's not like it was before, 

feel like I don't know you 

feel like I don't know you anymore... 

don't think you realize 

how much you hypnotize 

me with those dark brown eyes 

but you're breaking the spell 

with your lies, 

breaking the spell 

with your lies. 

DON'T FOLLOW ME 

Wake up in the night 

shaking with fear 

body's all wet 

nobody near 

it's not easy 

it's not easy 

don't follow me. 

Life going nowhere 

my fault I confess 

she'd left with the kids 

was desp'rate I guess. 

One night at a party 

reeling from wine 

ice in my heart 

the kids on my mind. 

Man in the shadows 

sensed all my screams 

told me it's easy 

could fix me new dreams. 

He grinned as he showed me 

his needle and spoon 

the first hit was simple 

but was over too soon. 

And it's easy 

yes it's easy 

just follow me 

just follow me. 

Stumbled out of the party 

didn't notice the dawn 

a kiss from the needle 

my nightmares were gone. 

Hazy days followed 

dream powder it flowed 

don't know where the time went 

don't care what I owed. 

Another year older 

hair starting to grey 

bones getting colder 

nerves starting to fray. 

I lied and I cheated 

I'd steal and I'd pray 

just for the needle 

to get through the day. 

Oh it's so easy 

it's so easy 

just follow me 

just follow me. 

Derelict building 

derelict men 

the winos, the junkies 

no need to pretend. 

This is my home now 

you're welcome to call 

don't get many visits 

friends don't come at all. 

Days blur together 

but end the same way 

aching for powder 

keep the demons at bay. 

Don't get out like I used to 

other life's gone 

she came to see me 

we talked until dawn. 

Yes it's easy 

yes it's easy 

just follow me 

just follow me. 

Tried that cold turkey 

in a clinic I guess 

cleaned up this body 

cleaned up this mess. 

He came to visit 

said, “Don't you look fine,” 

tossed me his works 

the decision was mine. 

He grinned as I picked up 

his needle and spoon 

the first hit was simple 

but was over too soon. 

Back with the junkies 

and the derelict men 

too hard to stay straight 

too hard to pretend. 

Is it easy? 

no it's not easy 

is it easy? 

no it's not easy 

don't follow me 

don't follow me 

or you'll 

wake up in the night 

shaking with fear 

body all wet 

nobody near 

nobody near 

don't follow me. 

SOMEBODY ELSE 

I can barely conceal 

all the loathing I feel 

when I see you. 

I can barely disguise 

the contempt in my eyes 

when I'm near you. 

It's like somebody else 

deep inside of myself 

must have loved you. 

I can hardly disguise 

the disgust in my eyes 

when you touch me. 

I can hardly conceal 

the revulsion I feel 

when you kiss me. 

It's like somebody else 

deep inside of myself 

must have loved you. 

I don't want to conceal 

the relief that I feel 

when you're not there. 

I don't have to disguise 

or to shelter my eyes 

from your lost stare. 

I guess you and me 

weren't intended to be 

baby so long. 

I guess you and me 

weren't intended to be 

baby so long. 

It feels good to be free 

so I'm cruising to see 

who's romancing. 

The music is loud 

in this club where a crowd 

are all dancing. 

That girl over there 

keeps returning my stare 

so I stroll down. 

I can hardly disguise 

the delight in my eyes 

as I hold her. 

I can barely conceal 

the excitement I feel 

as I kiss her. 

I guess you and me 

were intended to be 

baby hold on. 

It's like somebody else 

deep inside of myself 

has been reborn. 

SENT TO KILL 

Just discovered 

all your truths are 

sent to kill 

truths like shadows 

settle round me 

sent to kill 

truth like lightnin 

arrows to me 

sent to kill. 

Sense you watchin 

checkin damage 

you scent the kill 

know I'm wounded 

know I'm hurtin 

you scent the kill 

sense indifference 

sense your coldness 

you scent the kill. 

Why create me 

just to break me 

just to kill? 

all that power 

why d'you use it 

just to kill? 

why d'you bother 

creatin life 

just to kill? 

Sent to kill 

sent to kill 

sent to kill 

scent the kill 

sent to kill 

scent the kill 

sent to kill 

you scent the kill.
