Track Name: Only A Moment
ONLY A MOMENT

I was wasted in the morning
And well I knew I had it coming
It was only a moment
And now it’s gone away.

Words and pictures sometimes bring it back
Well, I kept that picture that we took from the old flat
It was only a moment
But it feels like yesterday
And I know in my heart they’ll say
That I pissed away the best thing I had
And now it’s gone away.

I was prone to distraction
Well, I must have missed your reaction that day
It was only a moment
And now I’ve lost my way.

You would never believe me
If I said I quietly grieve on my own
It was only a moment
That I wasted and now it’s gone
And every time that I hear your song
I’m reminded of that moment
That I pissed away my love

Somehow saying nothing
Is still saying something
I couldn’t find the answers
Or the words you’d want to hear
And ever since we started
But especially since we parted
Well I miss having you near
To whisper your sweet nothings, in my ear.

Wasted in the morning
Well I knew I had it coming
It was only a moment
But it feels like yesterday
And I know in my heart they’ll say
That I have pissed away the best things I had
And that is just my way.

Track Name: Waltz In The Air
Waltz In The Air

It was a clear winter’s night
and she waited there for me.
And I swear I could smell
Her simple perfume.
And we met
With a fire still burning eternal,
It sheltered us from the cold.

And we danced
Never moving so freely
And we danced there in the firelight…

It was the night that I waltzed with my beauty
It was the night that we danced in the air.
It was the night that I waltzed with my beauty
I’ll always remember her there.

It was a fair summers night
and it bathed us in moonlight.
And her plain, simple dress
Shone silver and gold.
And her eyes
Well, they left me there breathless
Like treasure, treasure I’d never have sold.

And we danced
Never moving so freely
And we danced there in the firelight…

It was the night that I waltzed with my beauty
It was the night that we danced in the air.
It was the night that I waltzed with my beauty
I’ll always remember her there.

Well my days
they keep steadily passing.
And my eyes
Well they’re weary and old.
But I still,
can still picture us dancing
it’s treasure, treasure I’d never have sold.

And we danced
Never moving so freely
And we dance there still, here in the my mind's eye…

It was the night that I waltzed with my beauty
It was the night that we danced in the air.
It was the night that I waltzed with my beauty
I’ll always remember her there.

It was the night that I waltzed with my beauty
It was the night that we danced in the air.
It was the night that I danced with my beauty
and I’ll always remember her there.
It’s a memory I never would share,
It’s a memory I never would share.

Track Name: Honest Man
Honest Man

I’d never be the richest man
Or a captain off to war
A priest of politician born
To walk the thin line of the law.

Living life as kings
Leaving others merely pawns
Working every hour for the taste
Of something more.

So Friday won’t you come around and release me.
I’ve taken just as much as I can stand.
And Saturday is only there to tease me.
I’m working hard and trying to be an honest man.
I’m working hard and trying to be an honest man.

(Short Break)

Well I’ve never been a saint.
My indiscretions keep me flawed
A drinker and a gambler
A little less and not much more.

But I would never cheat a man
Or back away from what I saw.
And ever at my lowest ebb
I pick myself up off the floor.

So Friday won’t you come around and release me.
I’ve taken just as much as I can stand.
And Saturday is only there to tease me.
I’m working hard and trying to be an honest man.
I’m working hard and trying to be an honest man.

So tell me what makes life
Worth living for?

(Break)

So keep your easy money
It would never get you far
Keep your diamond necklace
And your fancy caviar.

Leave me satisfaction
Leave me you beside the fire
And give me love and whisky til my final waking hour
And give me love and whisky til my final waking hour
And give me love and whisky til my final waking hour.

Track Name: Nell Gwynne
NELL GWYNNE

I dreamed of you
Yes I dreamed of you.
It all fell apart for you.
Twisted and torn in two.
Winter is falling around here again.

Trafalgar Square in the snow
Wondering just where you’d go
Down to the Nell Gwynne
Smoking and drinking gin
Thinking you’d never be found.

But I know
Yes I know
Your heart is closed
Your heart is cold
And you won’t let me in (rpt).

Trafalgar, set in snow.
Traffic, umbrellas and coat.
It all fell apart for you.
Nothing for me to do.
I’m trying to figure it out here again.

Track Name: Don't Play Games
Don't Play Games

We were stealing glances when our eyes met.
Too good to be true for me.
Drifting along enchanted.
Too good to be true for me.

Your laughter it haunted me.
Your beauty it daunted me.
I was hanging off your finger.
Your beauty it daunted me.

So don't play your games with me. (rpt)

She left me with a bittersweet kiss.
Bittersweet kiss.
Bittersweet kiss.

It never occurred to me
this wouldn't end perfectly.
You were just my pneumatic girl
There just to toy with me.

So don't play your games with me. (rpt)

She left me with a bittersweet kiss.
Bittersweet kiss.
Bittersweet kiss.
