On The Move 03:30
lyrics
buy track
What’s a man to do, but open up Make up for lost time, beat the speed limit, just a little Everybody’s on the move now Move baby move, move lady move Move baby move, move lady move (everybody’s on the move now) Move baby move, move lady move Move baby move, move lady move Daylight hours are growing shorter day by day The good road leads to things people couldn’t think of years ago But good roads alone aren’t always enough The horizon is constantly widening Everybody’s on the move now Move baby move, move lady move Move baby move, move lady move (everybody’s on the move now) Move baby move, move lady move Move baby move, move lady move Next report please (oh good) Move baby move, move lady move Move baby move, move lady move (oh good) He has found the road Travel safely and quickly over a modern express highway A dangerous and overloaded highway Move baby move, move lady move Move baby move, move lady move Move baby move, move lady move Move baby move, move lady move……

Beautiful Homes 02:53
lyrics
buy track
Our home shall be beautiful Because our love is beautiful Comfort and colour and cherished self expression They were waiting to be told But there was no one to tell them At home At home Beautiful homes, beautiful homes, beautiful homes, beautiful homes…. at home Here is something that will truly give substance to their adoration At home More than we may realise At home Beautiful homes, beautiful homes, beautiful homes, beautiful homes More than we might realise…. at home. Rugs and carpets to soften the floors Chairs and couches and beds and dining room tables and desks Radios and electric refrigerators, automobiles More than we might realise…at home Beautiful homes, beautiful homes, beautiful homes, beautiful homes…. at home An investment in prestige and good taste And above all pride and happiness One family!

Fallen Idol 02:43
lyrics

I can see the way it’s going to be The path that has been set for me A shining light, a shining light, bright to the sight Coming out, tonight, tonight….. Lead me forward take me right, I am with you On a journey away, away…….. Nothing can stop me, I will reach you To follow you, follow you……… I will tell the people they must come To hear what it is that must be done To heal the world, heal the world To heal the world……….. You can’t have meant to get it all that wrong When you sang out loud in your song In your song, you were wrong You were wrong……… My Fallen Idol, my misguided trust Misplaced………… And you have left not guiding me Having trouble I am troubled Troubled………….

Do you feel a little anxious? I don’t think so Do you feel like there is some inner tension? Yes Definitely with me There is something else that is so important But you dont know what’s causing it Do you feel that you did something bad? I feel it might have been me I don’t feel that i did it Did anything happen Happen that night Did anything happen That wasn’t quite right Leave it in the past Leave it all behind It happened, it happened, it happened in your mind No I don’t feel that way about it at all Do you know what the prearranged signal is? I don’t know what you are talking about Signal for what Did anything happen? But you’re going round and around Did anything happen? Did anything happen Happen that night Did anything happen That wasn’t quite right Leave it in the past Leave it all behind It happened, it happened, it happened in your mind But you’re going round and around, round and around Standing there on the outside No they’re dancing, dancing around Standing there on the outside But you’re going round and around Very strange

Tonight, the feeling between us kept getting stronger and stronger The lights are on And things seem to happen, til we nearly…. Now what’s the matter dear?

No dear it is not wrong ‘Where you going to?’ ‘Where you going to?’ Hi, hi ‘Where you going to?’ What would you like on your sandwich? How about you? ‘Where you going to?’ I’m almost ready ‘Where you going to?’ I’m almost ready ‘Where you going to?’ I don’t know what to think I am so mixed up Well I know what to do now Now I am beginning to understand Sometimes even promises can’t be kept Dada Dada Dada Dadum dum da………..
