How Long Is Too Long Wasn't Long Enough

[Nearly Sane]

Although I'm not making plans
 I hope that you understand there's a reason why
 Close your, close your, close your eyes
 No more broken hearts
 We're better off apart let's give it a try
 Tell me, tell me, tell me lies
 Tell me lies
 Tell me sweet little lies
 (Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
 Oh, no, no you can't disguise

[Aruntraveller]

Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river
Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea
You lay your bets and then you pay the price
The things we do for love, the things we do for love

Communication is the problem to the answer
You've got her number and your hand is on the phone
The weather's turned and all the lines are down
The things we do for love, the things we do for love

Like walking in the rain and the snow
When there's nowhere to go
And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes
You think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up

[Nearly Sane]

Last night you talked about leaving
 I said I can't let you go
 It's not just emotional feeling
 I need your body and soul

 You give me one good reason to leave me
 I'll give you ten good reasons to stay
 You're the only one I believe in
 I'll be hurt, I'll be hurt if you walked away

 Too many broken hearts in the world
 There's too many dreams can be broken in two
 Too many broken hearts in the world
 So I won't give up the fight for you

[Aruntraveller]

Love hurts inside
Look into my eyes
The pain i can't hide
The pain i can't hide

Love hurts ,love scars
love wounds any heart
But I'm not so tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain ,take a lot of pain
Love is like a flower ,hold a lot of rain
Love hurts love hurts

[Nearly Sane]

Pain
 She loves me
 Wants me to be
 Less scared, more free to feel all of my pain

 I'm your friend
 And I'm your shade
 Do what you want
 Just remember it's for love

 I'm your wall
 And I'm your rock
 Don't run away
 Don't forget it's only love

[Robbie]

If ever you've got rain in your heart
Someone has hurt you, and torn you apart
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?
And let it be like they said it would be
Me loving you girl, and you loving me
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?

Run to me whenever you're lonely
(To love me)
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then, you need someone older
So darling, you run to me

[Nearly Sane]

As I walk along
I wonder what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong
And as I still walk on
I think of the things we've done
Together, a-while our hearts were young

I'm a-walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder
Why
Why, why, why, why, why she ran away
And I wonder
A-where she will stay-ay
My little runaway
Run, run, run, run, runaway

[Robbie]

People say I'm the life of the party
Because I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

I need you, need you
Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one

[Nearly Sane]

Sam, you've been waiting
Much too long now
It looks like she's
Not coming home

Sam, you've been
Loyal, true and faithful
All this time with being alone

If I could get that same dedication
I'd give you everything in creation
If she doesn't come back
(If she doesn't come back)

I'll be your substitute
Whenever you want me
Don't you know
I'll be your substitute
Whenever you need me

[Aruntraveller]

You think we look pretty good together
 You think my shoes are made of leather
 But I'm a substitute for another guy
 I look pretty tall but my heels are high
 The simple things you see are all complicated
 Look pretty young, but I'm just back dated, yeah
Substitute your lies for fact
 I can see right through your plastic mac
 I look all white, but my dad was black
 My fine looking suit is really made out of sack

[Robbie]

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby
Picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window
Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

[Aruntraveller]

Here We Sit
 Two Lonely Old People
 Eaking Our Lives Away

 Bit By Bit
 Two Lonely Old People
 Keeping The Time Of Day

 Here We Sit
 Out Of Breath
 And Nobody Asked Us To Play

 Old People's Home For The Play
 Nobody Asked Us To Play

 Treat Her Gently
 Treat Her Kind
 She Doesn't Even Know Her Own Mind

[Nearly Sane]

I wondered should I go or should I stay
The band had only one more song to play
And then I saw you out the corner of my eyes
A little girl alone and so shy
I had the last waltz with you
Two lonely people together
I fell in love with you
The last waltz should last forever
But the love we had was goin' strong
Through the good and bad we'd get along
And then the flame of love died in your eye
My heart was broke in two when you said goodbye
I had the last waltz with you
Two lonely people together
I fell in love with you
The last waltz should last forever
It's all over now 
Nothing left to say
Just my tears and the orchestra playing

[ekim]

Dancing in the dark 'til the tune ends
We're dancing in the dark and it soon ends
We're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here
Time hurries by, we're here, and gone

Looking for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night, I have you love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark.

[Robbie]

I wanna see you dance like no one's there
You're all alone and you don't care cause
This is your night, I let them all stay
You're so amazing, amazing

Baby tonight, turn the music loud
'Cause we'll all be dancing, dancing, dancing
Set this floor on fire, throw your hand's higher
Everyone's dancing, dancing, dancing
We'll be dancing tonight
Oooh I like the sound

[Nearly Sane]

To my surprise one hundred storeys high
People getting loose y'all
Getting down on the roof
Folks are screaming out of control
It was so entertaining
When the boogie started to explode
I heard somebody say

(Burn baby burn) disco Inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
(Burn baby burn) disco Inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down

[Robbie]

Get your party gown
Get your pigtail down
Get your heart beatin' baby
Got my timin' right
Got my act all tight
It's gotta be tonight my little
School babe

Your Mamma says you don't
Your Daddy says you won't
And I'm boilin' up inside
Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time, oh no

Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Lock your daddy out of doors
I don't need him nosin' around
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight

[Nearly Sane]

Father, I'm gonna say thank you
Even if I'm still hurt
Oh, I'm gonna say bless you
I wanna mean those words

Always wished you the best
I, I prayed for your peace
Even if you started this
This whole war in me

You did your best or did you?
Sometimes I think I hate you
I'm sorry, dad, for feelin' this
I can't believe I'm sayin' it
I know you were a troubled man
I know you never got the chance
To be yourself, to be your best
I hope that Heaven's given you
A second chance

[Robbie]

Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me
And then
Spin me around 'till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved

If I could get another chance
Another walk
Another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
How I'd love love love
To dance with my father again

[Nearly Sane]

Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Mother, do you think they'll like this song?
Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Ooh, aah, mother, should I build the wall?

Mother, should I run for president?
Mother, should I trust the government?
Mother, will they put me in the firing line?
Ooh, aah, is it just a waste of time?

[Robbie]

Will you have whiskey with your water
Or sugar with your tea
What are these crazy questions
That they're asking of me
This is the craziest party
That there ever could be
Oh, don't turn on the light
'Cause I don't want to see

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun

[Nearly Sane]

I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
I like my toast done on one side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York

See me walking down Fifth Avenue
A walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

[Robbie]

Just dreaming dreams of you
I watched your ship as it sailed out to sea
Taking all my dreams
And taking all of me
The sighing of the waves
The wailing of the wind
The tears in my eyes burn
Pleading,
"My love, return
Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore?

[Nearly Sane]

So, tonight I wanna fall in love
Fall in love with a stranger
And if they go break my heart
Then I'll just fix it later
I'm only here for the rush
I don't need no disclaimer
Tonight I wanna fall in love
Fall in love with a stranger

[Robbie]

Drive up, you can stay with me
I sure could use a friend
I'm [?] what you think you need
But I love having you around

We'll make love, go see a show
Share pizza and a beer
But these sails point to a storm
So away I'll have to steer
