1. MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE



Just a castaway, an island lost at sea, oh
Another lonely day, with no one here but me, oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh

I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah

A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life or
Love can break your heart

I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my

Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah

Walked out this morning, don't believe what I saw
Hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
Hundred billion castaways, looking for a home

I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my

Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah

Sending out at an S.O.S.
Sending out at an S.O.S.
Sending out at an S.O.S.
Sending out at an S.O.S.
Sending out at an S.O.S.
Sending out at an S.O.S...

3. IT'S ALLRIGHT FOR YOU


Wake up

Make up

Bring it up

Shake up

Stand by

Don't cry

Watching while the world die



Big car

Movie star

Hot tip

Go far

Blind date

Too late

Take a bus

Don't wait


It's alright for you

It's alright for you

It's alright for you

For you and you and you and you and you


It's alright for you

It's alright for you

It's alright for you

For you and you and you


Limp wrist

Tight fist

Contact

No twist

Black dress

No mess

Mmm, don't want no less


Stand by

Don't cry

Watching while the world die

Three lane

Fast lane

Standing in the cold rain


It's alright for you

It's alright for you

It's alright for you

For you and you and you and you and you


It's alright for you

It's alright for you

It's alright for you

For you




4. BRING ON THE NIGHT




The afternoon has gently passed me by
The evening spreads its sail against the sky
Waiting for tomorrow
Just another day
God bid yesterday goodbye

Bring on the night
I couldn't spend another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

The future is but a question mark
Hangs above my head there in the dark
Can't see for the brightness
Is staring me blind
God bid yesterday goodbye

Bring on the night
I couldn't spend another hour of daylight
Bring on the night



5. DEATHWISH



Deathwish in the fading light
Headlight pointing through the night
Never thought I'd see the day
Playing with my life this way

Gotta keep my foot right down
If I had wings I'd leave the ground
Buning in the outside lane
People think that I'm insane

The day I take a bend too fast
Judgement that could be my last
I'll be wiped right off the slate
Don't wait up 'cause I'll be late



6. WALKING ON THE MOON


Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break
Walking on the moon
We could walk for ever
Walking on the moon
We could live together
Walking on, walking on the moon

Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Feet they hardly touch the ground
Walking on the moon
My feet don't hardly make no sound
Walking on, walking on the moon

Some may say
I'm wishing my days away, no way
And if it's the price I pay, some say
Tomorrow's another day, you'll stay
I may as well play

Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break
Walking on the moon
We could walk for ever
Walking on the moon
We could be together
Walking on, walking on the moon

Some may say
I'm wishing my days away no way
And if it's the price I pay, some say
Tomorrow's another day, you'll stay
I may as well play


7. ON ANY OTHER DAY


The other ones are complete bullshit


You want something corny?

You got it


There's a house on my street

And it looks real neat

I'm the chap who lives in it

There's a tree on the sidewalk

There's a car by the door

I'll go for a drive in it

And when the wombat comes

He will find me gone

He'll look for a place to sit



My wife has burned the scrambled eggs

The dog just bit my leg

My teenage daughter ran away

My fine young son has turned out gay



Cut off my fingers in the door of my car

How could I do it?

My wife is proud to tell me

Of her love affairs

How could she do this to me?



My wife has burned the scrambled eggs

The dog just bit my leg

My teenage daughter ran away

My fine young son has turned out gay

And it would be O.K. on any other day

And it would be O.K. on any other day


Throw down the morning papers

And spill my tea

I don't know what's wrong with me

The cups and plates are in a conspiracy

I'm covered in misery


My wife has burned the scrambled eggs

The dog just bit my leg

My teenage daughter ran away

My fine young son has turned out gay

And it would be O.K. on any other day

And it would be O.K. on any other day

And it would be O.K. on any other day

And it would be O.K. on any other day




8. THE BED'S TOO BIG WITHOUT YOU



Bed's too big without you

Cold wind blows right thru my open door

I can't sleep with your memory

Dreaming dreams of what used to be



When she left I was cold inside

That look on my face was just pride

No regrets no love no tears

Living on my own was the least of my fears


Bed's too big without you

The bed's too big without you

The bed's too big

Without you


Since that day when you'd gone

Just had to carry on

I get thru day but late at night

Made love to my pillow but it didn't feel right


Every day, just the same

Old rules for the same old game

All I gained was heartache

All I made was one mistake


Now the bed's too big without you

The bed's too big without you

The bed's too big

Without you




9. CONTACT



I've got a lump in my throat about the note you wrote
I'd come on over but I haven't got a raincoat

Have we got contact
You and me?
Have we got touchdown
Can't we be?

I've got contacts in my book and in my eyes
My good connection on the telephone never lies

Have we got contact
You and me?
Have we got touchdown
Can't we be?

I've got a list of the people I have known
I'm never alone on the end of a phone

Have we got contact
You and me?
Have we got touchdown
Can't we be?

I've got a lump in my throat about the note you wrote
I'd come on over but I haven't got a raincoat
I'd come on over but I haven't got a raincoat



10. DOES EVERYONE STAR



I change my clothes ten times

Before I take you on a date

I'm in a cold sweat, my panic it makes me late

I know you never asked for this

I know

My shots will always miss

My shots will always miss


Does everyone stare this way at you?

I only look this way at you


I change my clothes ten times

Before I take you on a date

I get the heebie-jeebies, and my panic makes me late

I break into a cold sweat reaching for the phone

I let it ring twice before

I chicken out and decide you're not at home



Does everyone stare the way I do?

I only stare this way at you



I never noticed the size of my feet

'Til I kicked you in the shins

Will you ever forgive me for the shape I'm in

For the shape I'm in



Does everyone stare the way I do?

I only stare this way at you


I'm gonna write you a sonnet but I don't know where to start

I'm so used to laughing at the things in my heart

Last of all I'm sorry 'cos you never asked for this

I can see I'm not your type and my shots will always miss, always miss


Does everyone stare the way I do?

I only stare this way at you

Does everyone stare the way I do?

I only stare this way at you

Does everyone stare the way I do?

I only stare this way at you

Does everyone stare the way I do?

I only stare this way at you

Does everyone stare the way I do?

I only stare this way at you

Does everyone stare the way I do?

I only stare this way at you



11. NO TIME THIS TIME



Words and music by Sting
I can't stand it for another day
When you live so many miles away.
Nothing here is gonna make me stay,
(You) took me over, let me find a way.
I sold my house

I sold my motor, too.
All I want is to be Next To You.
I'd rob a bank
Maybe steal a plane.
You took me over,
Think I'm goin' insane.
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you.
What can I do,

All I want is to be next to you.
I've had a thousand girls or maybe more,
But I've never felt like this before.
But I just don't know what's come over me,
You took me over, take a look at me.
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you.
What can I do,

All I want is to be next to you.
All I want is to be next to you,
All I want is to be next to you,
All I want is to be next to you.

So many times I used to give a sign
Got this feeling, gonna lose my mind.
When all it is is just a love affair.
You took me over baby, take me there.
What can I do

All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you.
All I want is to be next to you...
