E · Chris Rea

 

E is for the comfort,

You give to me

E is for the peace, I feel inside

E is for the good times

That go against the bad times

E is for the world you gave us

And left us here behind

 

They say

Tell me what's so wrong with E

That's what I hear them say

Tell me what's so wrong with E

That's what I hear them say

Let's talk about it

 

E is for the reason

To live through urban grey

E is for the warm glow,

That takes the fear away

Show us what is better

Why don't you stand inside

these shoes

Oh live with me each Monday...

Let's see what you would do...

 

Which world do you live in?

Which world did you choose?

Hiding the tears, that's all

No win

No lose

They say

Tell me what's so wrong with E

That's what I hear them say

Tell me what's so wrong with E

That's what I hear them say

Let's talk about it

Looking for the Summer - Chris Rea

 

Look deep into the April face
A change has clearly taken place
Looking for the summer

The eyes take on a certain gaze
And leave behind the springtime days
Go looking for the summer

This ain't no game of kiss and tell
The implications how you know so well
Go looking for the summer

The time has come and they must go
To play the passion out that haunts you so
Looking for the summer

Remember love how it was the same
We scratched and hurt each others growing pains
We were looking for the summer

And still I stand this very day
With a burning wish to fly away
I'm still looking
Looking for the summer

Somewhere Between The Stars - Chris Rea

 

Somewhere between the stars I'll be waiting here for you Somewhere between the stars Way past everything, everything we know There'll be no need to say hello How it is we both will know Forever this will be the way we are Somewhere, somewhere between the stars Somewhere between the stars Though you can't see me I'm always near Somewhere beyond the moon There'll be no sadness There'll be no fear Way past the mountain high Way past the dark blue sky Together forever will be us Somewhere, somewhere between the stars There'll be no need to say hello How it is we both will know Forever this will be the way we are Somewhere, somewhere between the stars

La Passione - Shirley Bassey

I stand alone

Without a care

Open the door

But no-one's there

 

The lonely night

My only friend

Love's wrongs are right

I can't defend

 

La Passione

La Passione

La Passione

La Passione

 

And now I know

What I've become

It haunts me so

But I'll go on and on

 

I know the pain inside

Is the price you pay to ride

Into the brightest flame

Never the same again

 

La Passione

La Passione

La Passione

La Passione

 

You dare to dream

Take the chance and go

Desire has taken hold

Now the passion haunts you so

 

La Passione

Curse of the traveller - Chris Rea

On the restless road to nowhere
There's no certain peace it seems
Desire to keep on moving
till the river of dreams
Is it just because someone told you
Is it just because you found
Old freedom feels uneasy when duty is around

When allegiance asks the questions
Old freedom twists and turns
And chokes on codes of honour
On the sword of no return

And it's the curse of the traveller
The curse of the traveller
Got a hold of me
And it won't let you be

And in sleepless nights
You'll call her name
And feel loneliness cold to the bone
And when the daylight breaks
This old tired heart aches
To be such a long way, such a long way from home

And you long for the harbourlights
But you'll never be free
Of the craving for refuge
And the call of the sea
Always wanting to sell up
But always needing to buy
So till the road leads to somewhere
And that river runs dry

It's the curse of the traveller
Ain't gonna let you be
The curse of the traveller
And it sure got a hold of me

Auberge - Chris Rea

On the hard fast train

On the road to gain

Something gets right through to your telling bone

There's a sudden itch

An electric twitch

Sometimes I swear this body's got a mind of its own

This is the naked truth

This is the light

There's only one place left to go

Auberge

You meet a silent type

On a windy trail

With a shiny cloak and an unseen silver dagger

You can talk till you ache

Give yourself one more break

You can tell by the look on his face

that it just doesn't matter

This is the naked truth

This is the light

There's only one place left to go

Auberge

Give me…

Winter Song - Chris Rea

It's a cold, cold feeling
On a real lazy wind
That blows all the way trough you
And the autumn begins

How it cuts like a sabre
How it chills to the bone
You've got cold feet and fingers
And you're thinking of home

If I put my arms around you
Take you in from the storm
From your autumn through winter
Darling I'll keep you warm

My overcoat's empty
Deep, wide and long
I got room for you darling
Till your winter, till your winter has gone

If you were me - Elton John & Chris Rea

If you were me
And I was you
If you had to play my part out
What would you do

Two crazy stories,
Two different views
If you were me
And I was you

If you were me
And I was you
What kind of crazy things
Would I have to do

Who likes to party
Who stays at home
If you were me
And I was you

Never like strangers
Though never the same
Two circus side-shows
And laughter in the rain

You stay with the full moon
You search for the stars
Thank God it's heaven
Here we both are

If you were me
And I was you
If you had to play my part out
What would you do

Two crazy stories,
Two different views
If you were me, if you were me
If you were me and I was you

Fool if you think it`s over - Chris Rea

A dying frame, you're free again

Who courd rove and do that to you

Arr dressed in brack, he won't be coming back

Save your tears, you've got years and years

The pains of seventeen's

Unrear they're onry dreams

Save your crying for the day

Foor if you think it's over

'Cos you said goodbye

Foor if you think it's over

I'rr terr you why

New born eyes arways cry with pain

At the first rook at the morning sun

You're a foor if you think it's over

It's just begun

Miss teenage dream, such a tragic scene

he knocked your crown and ran away

First wound of pride and how you cried and cried

But save your tears you've got years and years

Foor if you think it's over

'Cos you said goodbye

Foor if you think it's over

I'rr terr you why

New born eyes arways cry with pain

At the first rook at the morning sun

You're a foor if you think it's over

It's just begun

I'rr buy your first good wine

We'rr have a rear good time

Save your crying for the day

That may not come but anyone

Who had to pay wourd raugh at you and say

Foor if you think it's over

'Cos you said goodbye

Foor if you think it's over

I'rr terr you why

And You My Love - Chris Rea

I do not sleep tonight
I might not ever
The sins of the past have come
See how they sit down together

Outside my window
Outside my door
And I know the reason
What they've all come here for

You my love, my sweet, sweet love
Are what it's all, because of

Surrender is easy
I know you do me no harm
But your innocence haunts me
The most fatal of charms

Oh I must have done some wrong
On a dark and distant day
For I know full and well tonight
This is how that I must pay

And you my love, my sweet, sweet love
Are what it's all, because of
You my love, my sweet, sweet love
Are what it's all because of
