Nashville 03:31
lyrics

Gonna fire-up my Triumph down in New Orleans Cruise my way to Tuscaloosa hit a bar on the scene Then ride on to Nashville for a Saturday night Check into a motel put my best shirt on Go and find some Country rhythm and a girl for my arm Sink a few beers until I'm feeling alright I need to hear that Country music Feel the glow of those Broadway Street lights Downtown Nashville, I'll be dancing all night... Woo hoo hoo Been a lot of time sober be a longer time dead Got a million different troubles going on in my head But sometimes I gotta be where the music's just fine Now the singer's got the microphone close to her lips The drummer's laying out a beat right there on his kit The whole band is telling me to get my feet on the floor I want to hear that Country music Feel the glow of those Broadway Street lights Downtown Nashville, I'll be dancing all night... Woo hoo hoo The singer's got the microphone close to her lips The drummer's laying out a beat right there on his kit The whole band is telling me to get my feet on the floor My Lady's got her arm around me holding me tight She no longer cares for what's wrong or what's right There's no place we'd rather be on this Saturday night I want to hear that Country music Feel the glow of those Broadway Street lights Downtown Nashville, I'll be dancing all night... Woo hoo hoo Dancing all night

Beautiful Thing 03:51
lyrics
There'll be moments in your life when you will cry Sit around for days on end and wonder why You might feel that life has run away from you So take pleasure in the moments that are due Ride around all night take the sacrificial right that love might bring Sometimes She'll drive you mad sometimes She won't Someday's you're all She has someday's She don't if you fear between the present and the past You will never have a future that will last Ride around all night take the sacrificial right that love might bring You see love's a powerful thing It gets you up on a Monday morning against your will Lifts you higher than the mountains in the night Fills you up with pure devotion pure delight And gets you higher than the moon when the sun falls on the dew That's a beautiful thing And every emotion from her heart You can feel it from both sides Kind of dumb but sort of smart If I'd had known that it was all for liberty It doesn't matter much to me 'Cos I knew that our love was strong You see love's a powerful thing It gets you up on a Monday morning against your will Lifts you higher than the mountains in the night Fills you up with pure devotion pure delight And gets you higher than the moon when the sun falls on the dew That's a beautiful thing

Two Hearts 04:46
lyrics
I don't wanna come home in the morning 'Cos I know that you've gone away And hell knows you gave enough warning That you would do this someday When I caused the pain in those brown eyes I buried my head in the sand 'Cos I thought you'd love me forever And this wasn't part of that plan I know that you'll blame the whiskey Ah but honey it felt better that way When all is said and done Two hearts got it wrong And the best that they can do is say goodbye Now I can't hold out for a maybe While you let my heart melt away 'Cos I know that you'll find another And he'll be the one who will stay And I know that you'll blame the whiskey Ah but honey it felt better that way When all is said and done Two hearts got it wrong And the best that they can do is say goodbye The best that they can do is say goodbye Cos I'm battered broke, I'm tired and running on empty I'm without any hope that I will see you again The damage is done, I've lost, there's no fight left in me So the best that I can do is say goodbye The best that I can do is say goodbye And I know that you'll blame the whiskey Ah but honey it felt better that way When all is said and done Two hearts got it wrong And the best that they can do is say goodbye The best that they can do is say goodbye

Best Friends 03:29
lyrics
We grew up in the eighties carved our rapport way out West Some friendships fell by the wayside sunshine Not ours we built it to last Meet me down the Gas Bar Friday We'll take along the Hean and the Sands We’ll go over the old days like best friends can Little by little we’re a little bit of both As the years reduce the boys into men Opposite, two opposites from what we are now Though you won’t understand ‘Cos only best friends can From Saundersfoot into Tenby we sang out loud on the bus When the Prince said “no entry baby” yeah we kicked up a fuss Jumping over the harbour sluice gates until the officer tells us NO! When we look back on those memories how little we’ve grown! Little by little we’re a little bit of both As the years reduce the boys into men Opposite, two opposites from what we are now Though you won’t understand ‘Cos only best friends can Meet me down the Gas Bar Friday We'll take along the Hean and the Sands We’ll go over the old days like best friends can Little by little we’re a little bit of both As the years reduce the boys into men Opposite, two opposites from what we are now Though you won’t understand ‘Cos only best friends can

A Dog's Tale 04:11
lyrics
Run, Tazzy run shake your tail up to the sun Many days aren’t left so make them shine Then fly, Tazzy fly, leave that trail across the sky So we can see for always where you fly You have risen past the dreams of what we know Took our hearts with you so please don’t let them go And as you fly high look below and say goodbye Then we’ll go back to the day we met my friend When you sat there in the palm of our hands Chase, Buster chase fetch your ball from place to place We don’t know what time is on your side Then roam, Buster roam, free your heart and free your soul ‘Til we meet one day in the sky You have risen past the dreams of what we know Took our hearts with you so please don’t let them go And as you pass by please ignore the tears we cry Then we’ll go back to the day we met my friend When you sat there in the palm of our hands Then we’ll go back to the day we met my friends And look forward to the day we’ll meet again

Let Me Fly 03:30
lyrics
Words that were spoken, promises broken Never meant to be Games you were playing, things you were saying, carried unto me By the tide The rise and the fall of our lives Relations are straining, values are breaking Everyone can see Pecking in order, a lamb to the slaughter That was always me So I'll take to the sky where the birds are flying high For they'll always be there for me 'cos they know our love has died, let me fly Alone with the birds in the sky Cracks are a-growing, bitterness showing wouldn't you agree? Friends are a-siding, family dividing over you and me So I'll take to the sky where the birds are flying high For they'll always be there for me 'cos they know our love has died, let me fly Alone with the birds in the sky Alone with them next to me I loved you once, I could love you still but you gave me too much time to kill And Heaven knows we used up our last try So don't mind me, I'll take my bow, let the curtains close, see the sun go down 'Cos all we had were castles in the sky So I'll take to the sky where the birds are flying high For they'll always be there for me 'cos they know our love has died, let me fly Alone with the birds in the sky Alone with the birds flying high

How Long? 04:15
lyrics
Remember how you told me to be brave and to be strong? That time would heal and pain would go away? And how you also told me that I would eventually move on, Be that good Father you said I'd always be. Well that's not how it's working out for me. How long must I breathe? How long must I cry? How low must I feel? Until I'm lying there along your side. You came to me so sweetly but you left me all too fast. I didn't realise your time was running out. And though this life was cruel to me, I was blessed you were my wife And I thank God for the precious time we had. Got these things there that still make me sad. How long must I breathe? How long must I cry? How low must I feel? Until I'm lying there along your side. Until I'm lying next to you oh, Winter makes its way into the fragments of my heart And I think about you more and more each day Through those mortal words they say 'til death do make us part' I thought I heard you calling out my name, I thought I heard you call to me.... How long. How long must I breathe? How long must I cry? How low must I feel? Until I'm lying there along your side. Until i'm lying next to you How long.

Just You & Me? 03:47
lyrics

Every day I have to sit for hours Can't you see I'm trying to be someone? Every day I suffer high school proudness Thinking 'bout when my lessons are done I'll get away hey, hey I took a job out a Texas paper caught a hound to San Antonio She picked me up from a hot bus station Drove me to her ranch out of Orange Grove She said "after supper you should turn in early" "The work is hard and the days are long" I cleared the plates and I thanked her kindly Turned around, I thought I heard someone? she said Woah, it's just you and me now baby woah, just you and me Woah, it's just you and me now baby, just you and me The Sun came up and we rode out early Found some cattle and we moved them on She looked young but she was probably thirty Maybe old enough to be my Mom Late at night we arrived at the stables I took a shower put some fresh clothes on I was hungry when I made it to the kitchen She had nothing but her cowgirls on Woah, it's just you and me now baby woah, just you and me Woah, it's just you and me now baby, just you and me This day is gonna last forever. This day you're gonna be someone This day you're gonna see my prowess. This day'll see your teaching done This day is gonna last forever. This day I'm gonna get real high Go ahead show me all your prowess. But are you sure that we're all alone? Woah, it's just you and me now baby Woah, just you and me Woah, it's just you and me now baby, just you and me Look away hey, hey. Look away hey, hey. Look away hey, hey. Look away hey, hey.

Your Love 04:10
lyrics
If I were a King and you were the Queen of my heart I'd dress you in ribbons and clothes that were made from afar There'd be violets and rainbows and oceans of deep coloured-blue With an emerald green forest in a Kingdom so pure and so true We'd live beneath the mountains in a castle by a stream We'd rule the land from a throne made for two And every waking morning I'd bow to my God And thank him for the day I found your love If I sailed a ship on the ocean that flowed around your heart I'd sing with the dolphins and follow them straight to your arms They'd lead me to your Island all sun-kissed gold and green Where everything's in wonder of you And every night together I'd gaze at the stars And thank them for the day I found your love Though I am not a King there's wealth in my heart No diamonds can I bring you only the stars My pot is full of loving my gold is my truth So come sit beneath my rainbow 'cos its all there for you Your love, your love, your love

Soldiers Of The Royal Welch Fusiliers 03:37
lyrics
All the things that we possess the freedom that we gained through bitterness Bravery, and sacrifice given by those in the prime of their lives Thank you, all the best, iechyd da we owe you our gratitude And deep respect you fought for us so we could be free Running through the fields you'd never know Why countless white crosses go on for miles Where poppy's grow and Tommy's rest Ghostly dragons fly above Mametz so high. I told the story to my child Why brave men fought and young men died From coal miners to strong farm hands They were soldiers of the Royal Welch Fusiliers Thank you, all the best, iechyd da we owe you our gratitude And deep respect you fought for us so we could be free Running through the fields you'd never know Why countless white crosses run on for miles Where poppy's grow and Tommy's rest Ghostly dragons fly above Mametz so high. So thank you, all the best, iechyd da we owe you our gratitude And deep respect you fought for us so we could be free
