In the name of...
In the name of...
In the name of...

Hey you,
I've seen your face before
It's you in the picture which hangs on my bedroom wall
Is it true? All of those things that they say about you
So tell me, tell me, tell me what am I supposed to do
(chorus)
In the name of love, yeah
In the name of love
In the name of love, yeah
In the name of love
Well it's fun to think that I'm having the time of my life
And it's true if all this around us is paradise, paradise, paradise, paradise
But now I want to be left here with nothing at all
Even the picture has fallen away from the bedroom wall
(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)
In the name of...
In the name of...
In the name of...
(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)
In the name of love
(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)

I have a picture pinned to my wall
an image of you and of me and we're laughing
with love at it all
But look at our life now, we're tattered and torn
We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears
that we cry until dawn

*Hold me now, oooh
Warm my heart
Stay with me
Let lovin' start, let lovin' start

You say I'm a dreamer, we're two of a kind
Both of us searching for some perfect world
we know we'll never find
So perhaps I should leave here,
yeah yeah, go far away
But you know that there's nowhere that I'd rather be
than with you here today

* Repeat (x2)

oooh

You ask if I love you, well, what can I say?
You know that I do and that this is just one of those games that we
play
So I'll sing you a new song,
please don't cry any more
I'll even ask your forgiveness
though I don't know just what I'm asking it for

**Oh, oh, hold me now (hold me in your lovin' arms)
Oh warm my heart (warm my cold and tired heart)
Stay with me (Ooh stay with me)
Let lovin' start, let lovin' start

** Repeat (x4)

(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)
In the name of love
(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)

You're the kind of person I could look at just to say I love you?
Or do you think the things I say are meant for someone else who's
living high above you?
It's time for you and me to play
Come on give yourself away
Don't care what you say
It's time for you and me to play
(chorus)
Bouncing like a ball
Bouncing like a ball
These games we play are not worth anything at all unless we're
bouncing like a ball
You're the kind of person I can talk to but never feel quite at home
And after half an hour realize that I would rather be on my own
I'm tired of playing hide and seek
Knock me off my feet
I never could see why the games we play were worth it anyway
(REPEAT CHORUS)
You're wasting your time with useless resistance
I'm wasting mine by keeping my distance
But none of these games would be worth anything at all
If you and I were really bouncing like a ball
You're the kind of person I could look at just to say I love you
Or do you think the things I say are meant for someone else who's
living high above you
(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)

you told me you loved me
so i don't understand
why promises are snapped in two
and words are made to bend

(the bigger, the better)
some stolen from japan
collected from around the world,
they'll catch you if they can

(
)
lies lies lies yeah
lies lies lies yeah
lies lies lies yeah
do i have to catch you out
to know what's on your mind
well, cleopatra died for egypt,
what a waste of time

white ones and red ones
and some you can't disguise
twisted truth and half the news
can't hide it in your eyes

(

)

you say you'll try harder
but i think it's just too late
well, the car is revving in the drive,
and i'm not the sort to wait

the bigger, the better
some nicked from old saigon
collected from around the world
love lies on and an and on and on and on and

lies lies lies yeah (they're gonna get you)
lies lies lies yeah (they won't forget you)
lies lies lies yeah (they're gonna get you)
lies lies lies yeah
oh you know i know

(

)
oh you know i know

(

I have a picture
Pinned to my wall
An image of you and of me and we´re laughing
We´re loving it all

But look at our life now
We're tattered and torn
We're fussing and fighting, delighting with tears
That we cry until dawn

CHORUS
(Oh oh)
Hold me now
(Whoa)
Warm my heart
Stay with me
Let loving start
Let loving start

You say I'm a dreamer
We're two of a kind
Both of us searching for some perfect world
We know we'll never find

So perhaps I should leave here
Yeah, go far away
But you know that there's nowhere that i'd rather be
Than with you here today

(Oh oh, oh oh oh)
Hold me now
(Oh)
Warm my heart
Stay with me
Let loving start
Let loving start

Oh hold me now
(whoa)
Warm my heart
Stay with me
Let loving start
Let loving start

Whoa oh oh

You ask if I love you
What can I say
You know that I do and that this is just one
Of those games that we play

So I sing you a new song
Please don't cry any more
And I'd ask your forgiveness though I don't know just
what i'm asking it for

(Oh oh oh oh)
Hold me now
(Whoa)
Warm my heart
Stay with me
Let loving start
Let loving start...

(repeats til end)

I'm always treading on dangerous ground
And everything seems to be upside down
Are you practicing for judgement day?
Or do you really mean those things you say?
(chorus)
Day after day, night after night
There's a panic in this heart of mine
Day after day, night after night
I'm looking for something that's just too hard to find
I'm not the man you wanted me to be
He's kept alive inside your fantasy
But now the magic me is fading fast
Let me remind you of the face behind the mask
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Can't you see there's just no promised land, doesn't happen that way
I hope you'll try and understand there's nothing I can do or say
(REPEAT CHORUS x 3)

I was dancing in heaven, you were keeping time
Then I read your letter, sent shivers down my spine
Said our love was over, I was not the one
If it lasts forever, forever wouldn't be much fun
(chorus)
Who can stop the rain?
Who can stop the rain from falling?
Who can stop this pain that's drowning me?
I could hear the sound of laughter
I thought that love was in the air
I was drowning in that golden age
You really seemed to care
I'm haunted by a dream, a giant human beings
I wait alone for hours
Love is never what it seems
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(REPEAT CHORUS)
You always had fantastic plans, that I always knew
And now you want to leave me out, so it's raining just for you
Those changes that you wanted make you ten feet tall
I tried to move those mountains but mountains never move at all
(REPEAT CHORUS x 3)
Who can stop the rain? (can stop the rain?)
Who can stop the rain from falling? (can stop the rain?)
Who can stop this pain that's drowning me?

This old life seemed much too long
With little point in going on
I couldn't think of what to say
Words just vanished in the haze
I was feeling cold and tired
Yeah kinda sad and uninspired
But when it almost seemed too much
I see your face
And sense the grace
And feel the magic in your touch
(chorus)
OH LAY YOUR HANDS
LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME
OH LAY YOUR HANDS
WOO-OO-OO-OO!
OH LAY YOUR HANDS
OH LAY HOUR HANDS ON ME
Back and forth across the sea
I have chased so many dreams
But I have never felt the grace
That I have felt in your embrace
Oh I was tired and I was cold
Yeah with a hunger in my soul
When it almost seemed too much
I see your face
And sense the grace
And feel the magic in your touch
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Now you made me feel so good
Yeah like I never ever thought I would
You know you make me feel so strong
And now our laughter just goes on and on
So c'mon lay your hands on me
Cause close to you is where I really want to be
And if it ever gets too much
I see your face
And sense the grace
And feel the magic in our touch
(REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE)

I know you well
And I can tell
Something's on your mind
'Cos in your dreams
The demon screams
And I know he's going to hurt you blind
(bridge)
You say you hunger for something you can't get at all
And love is not enough anymore
(chorus)
IF I WAS KING FOR JUST ONE DAY
I WOULD GIVE IT ALL AWAY
I WOULD GIVE IT ALL AWAY TO BE WITH YOU
IF I WAS KING FOR JUST ONE DAY
I HAD JUST ONE THING TO SAY
YOU KNOW THAT LOVE IS
ALL WE NEED TO GET US THROUGH
Diamond rings
And all those things
They never sparkle like your smile
And as for fame
It's just a name
That only satisfies you for a while
(REPEAT BRIDGE & CHORUS)
I've heard it said
Or maybe read
Only money makes the world go 'round
But all the gold
Won't heal your soul
If your world should tumble to the ground
(REPEAT BRIDGE)
So listen,
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need yeah.
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need yeah.
(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
If I was King
For just one day
For just one thing to say
Love...

You say they've been making plans
Oh your life's not your own-it's out of your hands
You can betray your dreams
Or trade them in for a life that's easy to lead
(or you could) Gather pearls on a coral reef
Walk the wall of China
Fall in love with me

(chorus)
You better Follow Your Heart
Don't let no-one else do your livin' for you
Follow Your Heart
And to yourself and no-one else always be true

How will you be the one
If you dance to the beat of another man's drum
How will you feel the sun
Knowin' all the time it could've been love
(or you could) Sail down the Nile on a royal barge
Be a mother or a lover
You could go far

CHORUS

Do you really want to live on dreams
Forever thinkin' what could've been
Do you really want to play the game
Forever lookin' for someone to blame

And do you really want to stand in line
Keepin' the faith 'til your old 'n tired
Do you really want to live on lies
Or watch as your life just passes you by
(Or you could) Gather pearls on a coral reef
Walk the Wall of China
Fall in love with me

CHORUS

There's a warm wind blowing off the sea
The sky is clear and blue
The desert glows in shades of gold
A postcard just for you
The general's on the radio
To say the war is won
But for 9 thousand people left behind
The battle's just begun

(chorus)
If this is a dream WHY WON'T YOU WAKE THEM
If you know the answer WON'T YOU SAY
WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE CRYIN'
ON THIS PERFECT DAY

A woman sits alone upon the ruins of her home
She has no-one left to love
No-one to call her own

CHORUS

A young man finds a broken toy
He made for his small son
Its the only thing remaining of the life he knew and loved

(chorus2)
IIf this is a dream why won't you wake him
If you know the answer won't you say
WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE CRYING
OH SO MANY PEOPLE LYING
OH SO MANY PEOPLE DYING
ON THIS PERFECT DAY

Are You Still Crying PERFECT DAY
Are You Still Lying PERFECT DAY
Will You Be dying PERFECT DAY
Are you Still Crying

Doctor! Doctor!
I saw you there, just standing there
And I thought I was only dreaming yeah
I kissed you then, then once again
You said you would come and dance with me
Dance with me across the sea
And we could feel the motion of a thousand dreams
(chorus)
Oh, Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning
Oh, Doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling?

Ships at night give such delight
We all leave before the morning light
Please don't go no please don't go
Cause I don't want to stay here on my own

(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)

Fever breathe your love on me (breathe your love)
Take away my name (take away)
Fever lay your hands on me (breathe your love)
Never be the same

(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)

Come with me and make believe
We can travel to eternity
