Nobodys An Island
04:18
|

You can try but you never know what you've got
Inside your dying its a cold shot
In the moment she leaves then you really know
You gotta take a minute let your feelings show
Another bar in the dark sitting all alone
Looking out the window waiting for the phone
This bottle of whiskey can't kill the pain
Passing time til she comes back home again
Nobodys an island all by himself
A lonely picture on the shelf
Waiting for love to come back home
In a while
Im on this island its gettng worse
This lonely picture its a bitter curse
Waiting for love to come around
Pass a bottle or two I need another shot
Keep it coming 'cos I know its gonna take a lot
Another whiskey wont make it alright
Passing time just get me through another night
Nobodys an island all by himself
A lonely picture on the shelf
Waiting for love to come back
m on this island its gettng worse
This lonely picture its a bitter curse
Waiting for love to come back home

Nothing To Do With Love
04:13
|

I thought that I was dreaming, it took me by surprise
To find you there beside me when I opened up my eyes
I won’t ask for a reason, I won’t beg you to stay
We were passing strangers, we went our separate ways
Ch
Nothing to do with love
A moment in time and time moved on
Nothing to do with love
Now the feeling’s gone
I don’t know where you came from, I know I don’t care
We touched for an instant and left our feelings there
No need to ask questions, no need to tell lies
You were gone before the dawn, didn’t stop to say goodbye
Ch
Nothing to do with love
A moment in time and time moved on
Nothing to do with love
Now the feeling’s gone

Dont Sell Yourself Cheap
03:20
|
|||
Dont let me hear you put yourself down
Dont let me hear you beg
You're worth much more than all of them
Get that ideal into your head
Dont sell yourself cheap you get what you came for
Your only worth as much as you feel
Dont sell yourself cheap take and take more
Dont live your life on the raw end of the deal
When you turn to face the world
Dont let them take you easy
They may say do this and they say do that
Say I do what I like when it pleases me
Dont sell yourself ....
Don’t wanna hear you’ve missed your chance,
Don’t wanna see you’re leaving,
You only get one shot at life,
You gotta keep believing
Dont sell yourself ...

Love Came Looking
03:58
|
|||
I was standing in the doorway, she was standing in the rain
Looking for some shelter, asking my name
And as she spoke to me, you know I hung on every word
I knew in a moment, this was something good
We couldn’t help ourselves, even if we should
First impressions count for so much, at least that’s what I’ve heard
I was the boy with the road in his blood
I was the man with the hungry heart
Now I just wanna be wherever you are
She came out of the blue, I wasn’t looking for love, that’s true
Love came looking, love came looking for me
She gave me her number, I wrote it on the wall
Couldn’t wait another day just to hear her call
Now I’d found her I couldn’t let her get away
She tamed the wild side of me
She’s got my heart in her hands
If you’d asked, this is nothing that I would have planned
She came out of the rain, and my life would never be the same
Love came looking, love came looking for me
She came out of the blue, I wasn’t looking for love, that’s true
Love came looking, love came looking for me
She came out of the rain, and my life would never be the same
Love came looking, love came looking for me
Love came looking, came looking for me
I was standing in the doorway, you were standing in the rain

We Were Young
04:33
|
|||
When we were just sixteen and not long out of school
We thought our whole lives lay ahead
Every night out watching all the bands we thought were cool
Thinking that it could be us instead
Ch
When we were young we had fire in our veins
We never needed any plans
When we were young, never needed to explain
We thought we had the whole world in our hands
And every jukebox playing all our favourite songs
And every corner record store
Had everything we thought we’d ever need to get along
We thought we’d never ever want for more
Ch
When we were young we had fire in our veins
We never needed any plans
When we were young, never needed to explain
We thought we had the whole world in our hands
Ch
When we were young we had fire in our veins
We never needed any plans
When we were young, never needed to explain
We thought we had the whole world in our hands
