I see all the tough guys still not 25
Dying on their feet Coughing, honking, cadging cigarettes And still out on the street Well, they got no money, nowhere to go Fathers of 2, 3 maybe 4, what are they gonna do Jimmy got a busted mouth in a fight last night He says he's OK Going down to the workies club (that's a laugh) To buy something strong and take the pain away Joys of Christmas Joys of Christmas Northern style Flashing Christmas light of police blue Go spinning down the street Women try to drag the men from pubs Into the stores And work hands in empty pockets deep We stand outside the neon ice and wish ourselves the best He says he's OK, out of work and fighting Is all he's ever known And laughs and says I worry too much anyway Joys of Christmas Joys of Christmas Northern style Let's drink to the likes of Jim Before we all go insane And please don't ask me why It'll take too long to explain Joys of Christmas |

Now there's no storyline
Just a real good time And I don't want to seem to be mistaken But there's a tale to tell On this road to hell It's in between the lines the case I'm making Oh, lord, look my way Save me from these crazy things I see I don't know what's going on round here these days But I can't dance to that Oh, I can't dance to that So let me dance to this 'Cos I can't dance to that If you'll excuse me please You see I got to go And take myself before I'm past redemption A voice is calling out As if I didn't know This wretched road is paved with good intentions All the way Down this Judas track I know it so well And I ain't going back I don't know what happened to the good time songs But I can't dance to that Oh, I can't dance to that So let me dance to this 'Cos I can't dance to that Tell me what you know Take away these chains What stood in front of me it looks so pretty But I can't dance to a cold machine Oh, lord, and every drummer you know just what I mean Oh, I can't dance to that So let me dance to this |

Driving home from the highland line
We done some gigs on the Clyde and the Tyne They flew us in from a Hamburg strip The taste of Dusseldorf still on our lips And on the bus there is a friend of mine We go way back to the scene of the crime We sit up front and share a cigarette And try to remember what we tried to forget He say "Do you remember?" He say "Do you recall?" I say yeah I remember, oh, I remember it all Every time that cold wind blows Every time I hear that sound Late night trains shunting down by the river I remember windy town We come so far and we move so fast Making hay see it all go past Round the world and round again Up and down on that gravy train but every time that cold wind blows Every time I hear that sound The east coast cross winds on the cold wet stone I remember windy town The freezing corners and the empty streets The burning passion and the cold wet feet Three tricky miles home every night Dodging from the shadows underneath those amber light No car for kissing and nowhere to go Except inside each other and I loved you so I held your face as you shivered in the rain Girl I'll always love you and I'll love you again Oh everytime, everytime Every time that cold wind blows Every time I hear that sound Late night trains shunting down by the river I remember windy town Every time that cold wind blows Every time I hear that sound The east coast cross winds on the cold wet stone I remember windy town |

She talks like thunder
She really lets you know She keep changing the rules And leave you nowhere to go She bore you rigid with the party line She's so far left she's gonna get left behind He wants six pretty white spots on each side of the dice He wants it all to be equal but he needs to throw twice Now there's a guy in the corner with a smiling gaze He turns to me and says I'm gonna buy a hat 'Cos I think it's gonna rain Got caught out coming here Ain't gonna get caught again I'm gonna buy a big one Like that Mr Gorbachov And when it's raining all this crap Oh my hat will keep it off Now take a look at all them leaders Desperation in their eyes The tight faces smiles that cannot hide it They know no more than you or I So I'm gonna buy a hat 'Cos here they come again And everytime they start to blah-blah It's you and me that gets the rain |

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 |

When you sing of the joy only love can bring
Heaven knows it's in my heart and my soul. Caught in a world full of tears so many bad times and fears. So while there's a chance and you're near - Let's dance let's dance! There's a world far away from the one we see There's a dream I will never let go. One thing is certainly true: This moment's for me and for you. So while there's not a thing here we can do - Let's dance let's dance let's dance let's dance! |

There's a feathered cloud in an open sky
And the pale-tailed moon goes sailing by This old engine housing's streaked with rain And we're pushing down on them chains again Friend we're like the wind that blows Like the sea we come and go And I'm not trying to tell you How I think that it should be I know deep down inside We are yearning to be free And you're only gonna think of No 1 So what am I to say No matter what you do We're always hurting anyway Forever our hearts will be Always running for what we see By the strings of this old guitar I swear, Que sera And you're rolling down old runway ten And the present becomes the past and then Rotating through the driving rain And you're way above those clouds again And I'm not trying to tell you How I think that it should be I know deep down inside We are yearning to be free And you're only gonna think of No 1 So what am I to say No matter what you do We're always hurting anyway Forever our hearts will be Always running for what we see By the strings of this old guitar I swear, Que sera |

But the time and place I will never forget Darling, never Trough good and bad we stood the tested time You say I'm yours and darling you're still mine Forever So smile for me 'Cos it's there for all to see After all this time Through the rain and tears After all this time After all these years I'm only loving you again And I'll keep holding on girl I won't let go I want you near me where ever I go Please say, forever And I give thanks for what you've given me And in my heart girl there'll always be A light That shines through the darkest night After all this time Through the rain and tears After all this time After all these years I'm only loving you again So smile for me 'Cos it's there for all to see After all this time Through the rain and tears After all this time After all these years I'm only loving you again Through the rain and tears till the sun dries up the sea till the rivers they run dry I'm gonna be loving you again |

There's a time and place everywhere I go
When the river meets the sea Somewhere between the gates of dreams And the turning of the key There's a cutting edge there's a real fine line And it's caught in come and go And you're leaving what you thought you knew To what you've come to know Oh when the twilight turns at the end of day And the angels kiss the moon There's a certain smile on a certain face And it could not be too soon There's a diamond sun everywhere she goes And there ain't no other way I am gonna dream tonight By the pale moonlight Till the morning comes my way I'm walking tall And I'm walking fine And I'm up there With that girl of mine And I'm standing in the twilight now Yeah I'm standing by her side Oh I'm gazing in that gate of dreams Underneath that midnight sky 'Cos there's a diamond sun everywhere she goes And there ain't no other way I'm gonna dream tonight By that pale moonlight till the morning comes my way I'm walking tall And I'm walking fine And I'm up there With that girl of mine |

Your head spins round on a Monday
And the daylight's in your eyes How you laughed and cursed tomorrow Now he's standing by your side You touched the stars at midnight The whole world seem to shout 'Hello' Now your throat is tired and heavy And only one can go I'll be all right though I may cry The tears that flow they always dry It's just that I would rather be with you now And every time I see that star I will say a prayer for you Now and forever September blue I'll be all right though I may cry The tears that flow they always dry It's just that I would rather be with you now And every time I see that star I will say a prayer for you Now and forever September blue 'Cos I'll always love you September blue |
