Let's forget all the dreams we had Play your dreams of yesterday When will we ever learn? When will we turn around? When will we ever learn? When will we ever learn? All that's left now is to keep on hoping We can change the dice that's cast I remember how they laughed then But I knew it wouldn't last I've tried so hard to close my eyes But I just can't close my mind When will we ever learn? When will we turn around? When will we ever learn? When will we ever learn? One thing's for certain while we're here One thing's for sure, only the fear I've tried so hard to close my eyes But I just can't close my mind When will we ever learn? When will we turn around? When will we ever learn? When will we ever learn? ROCKIN' MACHINE (Mike Gibbins) A-one, two, buckle my blues I'm making it this time I'm making it this time I'm making it this time around Before I lose my mind again Before I lose my mind At times she rules my mind I sit here marking time Well, I'm well in with the rockin' machine Put me down, you don't know where I've been Oh, I'm a rockin' machine Lately, I've been thinking what makes a man But I can't for the life of me Get away from the rockin' machine Oh, I'm a rocking machine Oh, I'm a rocking machine Oh, I'm a rocking machine SMOKIN' GUN (Pete Ham) Once upon a ruthless time Lived a man folks thought was kind People called him laughing Will But inside he loved to kill Ruled a city with his mob A connoisseur on the way to rob And some refused him, they’re dead or lame And old Will always dodged the blame Johnny could not help be near But he saw Will’s face quite clear Old Will Parker saw him run Followed with his smoking gun He was just a fairground boy A-helping him on the wheel of joy He pulled no punches, he played the game But Old Will shot him just the same OLD FASHIONED NOTIONS (Mike Gibbins) You’re filling my head with your notions You take what you want mess up the man in me Making a fuss about no one There’s devils in your head Such an old fashioned notion, baby Now you’re putting me on once again I see you looking for another one To play a pawn in your game You’re gonna be the death of me Go play in someone else’s tree You’re gonna end up in a dream You’re gonna be a star People will try to bring you down Don’t let them see you when you frown People will come, people will go In my time, be mine. Pray in time Bend my space, distort my time Forsake those who stay behind Revelations in my time Kill the prophet, drink your wine Tear a page out of your memory You can buy a replacement part of me And what fate will we find? It’s hard for me to be in any other dream Maybe I’m a fool compared with you What can I do Tell me what can I do NOTHING TO SHOW (Pete Ham) Lawyers pricing, temperatures rising all day long All I wanted was a sunny afternoon Loopholes, sloopholes, trying to look through people this all seems wrong Keep on working and they say you’ll get there soon Nothing to show for the hard work Nothing to show for the time we’ve spent Nothing to show for the hard times Nothing to show for the way we’ve spent YOU ASK YOURSELF WHY (Mike Gibbins) The more you see of your love The more you must try Try to throw away those reasons to cry It’s no surprise you wonder why You ever believed it But still you have a reason why You wanna conceive it There’s no real reason to deny All that you need’s inside I say there’s no reason to cry All all that you see that is love You ask yourself why They know why you feel the pain go by You don’t ask why you read the news And you better believe it As clouds go by you see anew And you wanna perceive it There’s no real reason to deny All that you see pass by Is in order to see you and I All that you see pass by Is in order to see you and I KEEP YOUR COUNTRY TIDY (Pete Ham) Keep your country tidy keep rubbish off the floor Poor old Mother Nature can’t take it anymore Leave things as you find them. It’s not hard to do If your country’s tidy so are you Keep your lover happy keep evil from your door And when you think you’re given then give her even more Don’t forget the small things they’re not hard to do Keep your lover happy just for you Take me away to the beautiful day I remember Pull me down, move me round, pull me down Wish I could stay from beginning of May ‘til September Pull me down, move me round, pull me down Keep your lover happy keep evil from your door And when you think you’re given then give her even more

Keep your lover happy just for you TO SAY GOODBYE (Bob Jackson) It’s late. I know it’s time we were letting go But I can’t bring myself to say goodbye It’s been so long. There’s no use in holding on But I can’t bring myself to say goodbye I know so well what I have to do But my heart gets in the way I’m standing here. I’m just a fool in love What can I do or say I know. I see, but now that you’re here with me I can’t bring myself to say goodbye But I can’t bring myself to say goodbye I know so well what I have to do But my heart gets in the way I’m standing here. I’m just a fool in love What can I do or say I can’t bring myself to say goodbye I can’t bring myself to say goodbye QUEEN OF DARKNESS (Tom Evans) Queen of darkness colour your hair Let it shine bright.
