The Words to Darius' Songs

Colourblind

(Darius/Pete Glenister/Deni Lew)

Feelin' blue, while I'm trying to forget the feeling that I miss you
Feelin' green, when the jealousy swells and it won't go away in dreams

Feelin' yellow, I'm confused inside
A little hazy but mellow when I feel your eyes on me

Feelin' fine! Sublime!
When that smile of yours creeps into my mind

Oh oh

Nobody told me you'd feel so good
Nobody said you'd be so beautiful
Nobody warned me about your smile
You're the light, you're the light
When I close my eyes
I'm colour blind

You make me colour blind

Feelin' red, when you spend all your time with your friends and not me instead
Feelin' black, when I think about all the things that I feel I lack

Feelin' jaded, when it's not gone right
All the colours have faded, then I feel your eyes on me

Feelin' fine! Sublime!
When that smile of yours creeps into my mind

Mm mm

Nobody told me you'd feel so good
Nobody said you'd be so beautiful
Nobody warned me about your smile
You're the light, you're the light
When I close my eyes
I'm colour blind

You make me colour blind

Blinded by the light you shine, the colours fade completely
Blinded by you every time, I feel your smile defeat me

I'm colour blind
I just can't deny this feeling

Nobody told me you'd feel so good
Nobody said you'd be so beautiful
Nobody warned me about your smile
You're the light, you're the light
When I close my eyes
I'm colour blind

You make me colour blind

I'm colour blind

Chrysalis To Butterfly

(Darius)

Nighttime
We’re not alone if we dream together
Of the good times
We got through cos we won’t surrender
Head on my shoulder, glass of red wine

If we lift and look behind (?)
We have won this already

Li la la li, li la la li
I watched you reach for the sky
Li la la li, li la la li
Chrysalis to butterfly

Sometimes
You don’t win gold, you don’t win silver
At the right time
You’ll find bronze makes you the winner
Tears running freely, now dried from your cheek

If you lift and look behind (?)
You have won this already

Li la la li, li la la li
I watched you reach for the sky
Li la la li, li la la li
Chrysalis to butterfly
To butterfly
Kiss your lips and watch you fly, my butterfly
Chrysalis to butterfly

It’s bedtime
Emotions chase us, our dreams will follow
It’s a good time, mmm
For me to give you the strength I borrowed
Sigh when I hold you, last drop of wine

If you lift and look behind (?)
I have won this already

Chrysalis To Butterfly

Nighttime
We’re not alone if we dream together
Of the good times
We got through cos we won’t surrender
Head on my shoulder, glass of red wine

If we lift and look behind (?)

I watched you reach for the sky
Li la la li, li la la li
Chrysalis to butterfly

Sometimes
You don’t win gold, you don’t win silver

You’ll find bronze makes you the winner
Tears running freely, now dried from your cheek

Rushes

(Darius/Pete Glenister/Deni Lew)

she's got a blind smile and a soft touch
a cute little dimple when she laughs too much
they say you fall hard when you meet her
such is her allure.

she's got a quick wit and a fast tongue
but she doesn't seem to know that she's the one
they say she cheats charm when she whispers
she's devillishly pure.

you'd see if you knew her
she doesn't know
but it's time I told her so.

CHORUS
when I see your blushes
from a compliment of mine it touches
something inside, I'm getting rushes
the adrenaline rushes.
and I'm fascinated
that you really don't know how to take it
when I look at you that way you feel naked
and I'm so into you
I'm getting rushes
---------------------------

she's about 5'9" got a sexy stride
with long tanned legs that you shouldn't hide
with a fine air of innocence
nonchalence in every move.

she's a sweet sensation, tease temptation
she looks good enough to eat
she's a fallen angel with a devillish streak
and so they say like for like will finally meet

you'd see if you knew her
she doesn't know
but it's time I told her so.

(repeat chorus)

oohoooh, but you just don't know
well it's time I told you so, ooohoohooooh

well I like it, I want more
and I like it, I want more
and I like it, I want more
never felt like this before

it's more than adrenaline rushes
It's the touch and the smell of skin flushes
some call it love at first sight I call it butterflies (I call it butterflies, I call it butterflies)

ooooooohhhhhhhh, (repeat chorus)

Incredible

Danesh/Christy/Spock/Edwards

You said its over
I said "thatąs ok
I wasnąt in to you anyway"
I told you "lately
you irritate me your laugh is too loud
youąre the last girl Iąd look at
if you were in a crowd"

Could you tell?
I was lying and hiding the truth away
and what I really wanted to say

CHORUS:
is you are incredible you are amazing
you blow my mind one of a kind
Iąm having a meltdown
you are incredible you are amazing
but sometimes telling the truth
is easier said than done,
"donąt leave baby" -
now thatąs what I meant to say

"My worlds not ending I'll be just fine"
Thatąs what my mouth said
but not what I felt inside
I told you "baby,
your not the answer to all of my prayers
cos I like my girlfriends in short skirts with longer hair"

could you tell?
I was lying and hiding the truth away
and what I really wanted to say

CHORUS

Well I said I didnąt care about what you felt about me
couldnąt care less about what I said or done
I didnąt mean it - its not what I meant to say
you know the truth is that I care
about what you think about me
maybe too much, Iąve been puttiną on a front
I didnąt mean it - and what I meant to say

is you are incredible you are amazing
you blow my mind one of a kind
Iąm having a meltdown
you are incredible you are amazing
but sometimes telling the truth
is easier said than done, yeah yeah
telling the truth is easier said than done.
Canąt you see
telling the truth is easier said than done.
"Donąt leave baby" now thatąs what I meant to say

Girl In The Moon

(Darius/Pete Glenister/Deni Lew)

How can I sleep tonight
tell me how Mars survived
follow the stars, she opened her arms
Venus was in my sky

How could it pass me by
you silently serve my time
even through chains, rust and the rain
you pulled away the tide

Chorus
-----------------------------------
Girl in the moon, I'm half way there
girl in the moon, I see you everywhere
help me find a way of falling closer to you
girl in the moon, girl in the moon
------------------------------------

How could I weep tonight
touch and our tears collide
gravity spins me into your wings
and colours me with your light

Repeat chorus

You're the silent silver lining my cloud
you're the secret flame that never burns out
pull away from this veil and rise into view
girl in the moon

I need you, I need you

Repeat chorus etc

I'm Not Buying

(Darius/Pete Glenister/Deni Lew)

So many times we find ourselves, here looking just about anywhere but in each other's eyes
and wondering why
So many chances brushed then wasted
So many matches almost won in injury time
Nobody cried

We're kicking pieces out of each other
Instead of kicking the pain in our hearts
Where do we start?

Chorus
----------------------
Well we can reach
And we can climb
And we can turn this ship around in time
That's why I'm holding out for you
(I'm not buying that it's over)
You can tell me anything
(But I'm not buying that it's broken)
-------------------------

So many fixes come too easy
Leave us so unsatisfied
Chasing the kite, addicted to high
So many patches we have worn
So many promises left still born
We're so blind
We kill more than time

Intoxicated, Drowning each other
Instead of drowning the pain in our hearts
Where do we start?

Well we can reach
And we can climb
And we can turn this ship around in time
That's why I'm holding out for you
(I'm not buying that it's over)
You can tell me anything
(But I'm not buying that it's broken)

We'll walk with innocence
We'll leave the ignorance
We'll run together
Let's break this silence
Don't wanna fight no more
Wanna feel the light some more
Let's run together and break this silence
I'm holding out for you
Reaching out for you
No way that this is through

If we just, if we just, we can reach
We can reach
We can reach
And we can climb
we can't hold out by our feelings as to what is right

I'm holding out for you
I'm not buying that it's over
I'm holding out for you, reaching out for you
no way that this is through
You can tell me anything
Sell me anything
To hell with everything
I can't buy that it's over

Dive In

(Darius/Chris Braide/Andrew Frampton)

So what's it all about?
I can't work you out...
There's a chemistry between us Getting hard to disguise -
Still you're holding back,
Some kind of panic attack -
Treading water when you
Really should be turning the tide...
Don't spend a lifetime waiting,
Don't tell me no -
Just let go...
If you want it, then you got it -
Don't let this moment pass you by,
Take a long shot,
Give it all you got -
You'll never know unless you try,
You can only sink or swim,
Baby, just dive in...
So what's the worse thing
That could be happening?
(You test the water and you
find that it's a little too hot)
But I'm imagining,
The taste of salt on your skin -
Make your move, you gotta choose - Are you ready or not?
Don't waste a lifetime waiting,
You know its now -
So turn around...

Chorus

Just dive in, just dive in...
Let's dive in -
Into the blue; Into the deep;
Into the mood tonight
Dive In...

Chorus

Come with me -
Let's dive in...

I Gotta Know Tonight

(Darius/Chris Braide/Andrew Frampton)

I feel vulnerable, I'm scared
I hang on to every word like there's a hidden meaning
Its got me unprepared
I'm climbing up the wall that stands between us

I keep hoping it's my imagination
Playing tricks with my heart on this occasion
I just got this sinking feeling...

So who's gonna drown now the dam's about to break
Tell me if it's me
I gotta know
I'm strong enough to tell you that it's more than I can take
I'm just hanging by a thread, got a feeling I'm in over my head
Can't wait until tomorrow
Gotta know tonight

I feel naked in your eyes
So out of control it feels like I'm free-wheeling
I'm running out of time
Gotta find a way to stop this feeling

I keep hoping it's my imagination
Playing tricks with my heart on this occasion
But I've just got this sinking feeling

Cos when you pull back the covers
It's one way or the other, oh yeah
It's getting closer to midnight
I gotta go
Can't wait until tomorrow
Gotta know...

Who's gonna drown now the dam's about to break
Tell me if it's me
I gotta know
I'm strong enough to tell you that it's more than I can take
I'm just hanging by a thread, got a feeling I'm in over my head
Can't wait until tomorrow...oh, oh
Can't wait until tomorrow
Can't wait until tomorrow
Gotta know tonight

Sliding Doors

(Darius/Pete Glenister/Deni Lew)

Another Friday night, and the week is over
Got a bottle of wine, and a meal for one
Never could have known she was walking with me in the rain
Another back-to-back down the escalator
Beat the sliding doors by a twist of fate
Then a glance behind an evening paper, and there she was

Lonely's gone
Suddenly I got this feeling
Lonely's gone
I spin around, yeah yeah
I've left the ground, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Should I make a move
Did you catch me falling
What I got to lose
Will she cut me dead
Before I catch my breath
Can't believe she's walking off my train
Beat the sliding doors
Is she gone don't lose her
Gotta keep my head
Someone taps my shoulder
Then I spin around, and she's just smiling
I guess she knows

Lonely's gone
Suddenly I got this feeling
Lonely's gone
I spin around, yeah
I've left the ground, yeah, yeah, yeah

Is this fate or happenstance
Her design on my last chance
I can't speak, cos she takes my breath away

So it's Friday night, and the day is over
Crack a bottle of wine, make a meal for two
But there's no room on the dining table
Here we go
Here we go

Lonely's gone
Suddenly I got this feeling
Lonely's gone
Oh, spin around, yeah
Oh, we've left the ground, yeah, yeah, yeah

Lonely's gone
Suddenly I got this feeling
Lonely's gone
I spin around, yeah
Oh, now we've left the ground, yeah, yeah, yeah

Lonely's gone
Lonely's gone

"Cheers, babe"

Simple Like The Truth

(Darius/Pete Glenister/Deni Lew)

I love you
You love me
But you never say that to me
I want you
You want me
So how come I don't believe?
It's in the way you
kiss my face
And in your every move...

Chorus

----------------------------
Won't you tell me something
Simple Like the truth -
Even if it isn't "I love you"?
Won't you let me know your heart
And lay me down...
Is it so hard to tell me?
----------------------------

"It's nothing
Don't be stupid,"
How come you always
Say that to me?
"It's alright, take it easy,"
But easy is so hard to be...
It's in the way you
Brush me by
The way that you make love...

Chorus

It's not that I'm weak
Baby I can't take it
It's not that I'm blind -
I can see you fake it...
If you only knew
What I'm going thru -
Then you'd find the words to whisper
Or you'd find the strength to leave...

Chorus

I watch you
You're reading
But baby you're so hard to read -
I love you
You love me
But you never say that to me..

Better Than That

(Darius/Alex James)

I thought I knew you,
Better than I knew myself, girl,
I thought I found you,
Hiding in the strength that's in your eyes,
But now I see you,
Burning all the bridges in your world,
Now I feel you,
Sinking in the quicksand of your lies

Can't you see that you're slipping away (Oh)
Can't you hear what I'm trying to say
(You're Better than that)

__________________________________
Chorus:

Better than that,
Stronger than that,
(You're worth much more)
You're better than that,
And you can turn back,
(What's tried is torn)
Better than that,
Stronger than that,
(You're worth much more)
I'm telling you its killing you
It's drowning you, it's spilling you over
What's tried is torn (?)
________________________________

I thought you knew how,
To chase away the demons of blind trust,
I thought you knew now,
It's all about temptation changed by choice,
You know you're crazy,
You're hanging on to reasons turned to rust,
Your eyes are hazy,
You've gone and lost the velvet in your voice

Can't you see that you're slipping away (Oh)
Can't you hear what I'm trying to say
(You're better than that)

Chorus

I told you once, I told you twice
I told you, baby,
Now there's nothing more to say.
I'm missing the girl I knew,
While I'm kissing the broken you,
But it's not up to me...

So don't back, face up to the facts
And you can turn back -
You're better than that

Better than that, stronger than that
Wiser than that, bigger than that
You're better than the devil in you
Tellin you how, pulling you down
Spilling you ?????- but it's up to you

Mockingbird

(Darius/Pete Glenister/Deni Lew/Nicky Graham)

He tells you when. He tells you why. He tells you wherefore.
What to do and how it's done, and how to be for him.
It's all about control. It's all about control.
You're his life. You're his strength. But he's you're weakness,
He knows you care, knows you give, but he couldn't care less.
He fits you to his mould, chipping at you soul...

Chorus
------------------------------------------------
It tears me up to see the way that he treats you,
To see the way that he brings you down and down.
He's turning you inside out.
It breaks me up to see the way that you take it,
To see the way that he spins you round and round
Turning you upside down...
Mockingbird, Mockingbird...
------------------------------------------------

Afraid to leave. Afraid to lose. Afraid of living.
You turn to him. You turn to me. But it lies in you.
It's waiting to be found,
It's waiting to be found,
So feel your heart, Feel your pain, Feel your anger,
If you fight the fear, find the words, you'll find the answer.
Like a cat held upside down,
You'll land feet on the ground.

Chorus

You never know what life will bring.
Trust your spirit. Find your wings.
Find your voice and let it sing
Let it sing...

Chorus

Mercury Rising

(Darius/Pete Glenister)

Eleven days,
A dozen nights,
A thousand tears,
And you are my shoulder.
From summer's haze, on morning light,
The sun is rising...Just like I told you.

Chorus
--------------------------------------------
If you fall, I'll never let your spirit break,
If you call, I'll always soothe the cries you make,
If it's all I can do, I'll slowly kiss your dreams awake
You're not alone for heaven's sake,
Mercury rising
-----------------------------------------------

From winter skies,
A cold embrace -
The shadows meet,
And they drag you under...
The moonlight's mine
And yours to chase -
Your star is rising,
Beyond your wonder...

Chorus

You're not alone for heaven sake
Your tears run so freely,
Your fears run so deeply down...
The pressure is breaking.
Quicksilver awaking now...
Can you feel it rise?
Can you see it rise?
Droplets of dreams
That you touched, disappear...
There's change in the weather,
And wind in your hair,
And Mercury's rising,
Mercury's rising
Rising...
Rising...
Rising...
Mercury's rising...

Eleven days,
A dozen nights,
A thousand tears...
And you are my shoulder.
From summer's haze, on morning light,
The sun is rising...
Just like I told you

Pretty Flamingo

(Markus H. Barkan)

On our block all of the guys call her flamingo
Cause her hair glows like the sun
And her eyes can light the sky
When she moves she walks so fine like a flamingo
Crimson dress that clings so tight
She's out of reach and out of sight
When she walks by she brightens up the neighbourhood
Oh every guy would make her his if he just could
If she just would

Some sweet day I'll make her mine pretty flamingo
Then every guy will envy me
Cause paradise is where I'll be
Pretty flamingo pretty flamingo

When she walks by she brightens up the neighbourhood
And every guy would make her his if he just could
If she just would

(fade repeating "sha la la la la la la la pretty flamingo")

Ad lib to end

Tear Run Dry

(Darius)

Lost at sea drifts and wreck
Leaves my fear we move closer
One breath on my neck
Trace ways on your shoulder
But I’ve dreamt this before
You left me on the ocean floor

Chorus

---------------------------------
No call for help but baby reach in
Is the message in a bottle gonna break upon your shore
If I have to hold my breath
And I can wait but I want more
If only you knew
Like a tear run dry
I can taste you now
A memory on my lips
Well I’ve touched you once
And I know somehow
I’ll reach you beyond a kiss
------------------------------------

Back and forth lapping tide
Your moist breath and I’m drowning
Lost you, I’ve lost time

In the ocean that found me
Was it all in my mind
Summers rain left behind

Chorus

I want to share the way
That you're rushing through my veins
I want to reach to you
And let you know that I have changed

I’m falling on you like a tear run dry
I can taste you now
A memory on my lips
Well I’ve touched you once
And I know somehow
One of these days
I’ll touch you beyond a kiss
Ooh ooh

I can taste you now
A memory on my lips
Well I’ve touched you once
And I know somehow
I’ll reach you beyond a kiss

Freefall

(Darius)

Never thought I’d ever leave you
You used to say to me
We were meant to be
Never thought that I could leave you
It seemed a little wrong
We’ve been there so long
Then I found a new direction
I let go
I hope one day you find the same injection
And feel as good

Chorus
-------------------------------------------
I've never felt so light
I’m running, I’m reeling and I’m rolling
And I don’t know where I’m going
But I’m flying like a kite
I’m reaching new heights
It took a fast trap down
I’m free, twisting and turning, sober but burning
---------------------------------------------

This is my freefall

Never did like the colour of the bathroom
I always said we should choose
Like turquoise blue
Never did like the way you burnt breakfast
But I used to say I liked it anyway
Then I woke one Monday morning
Wondering why are we doing this
Was us being us for the best
We tied ourselves down
I was stuck to the ground
But now I can chase my dreams
I’m in a freefall

Chorus

I’ve not run away
I’m just finding my own way

Never felt so good about me
I’m falling, I’m flying I’m singing
And I’m smiling now
I wanted you all the way?
Life’s too short to hesitate
I make a quick turn round
I’m proud, I’m standing but spinning
I’m willing and I’m winning
This is my freefall
Won’t you take a freefall with me
Freefall

Fragile

(Darius)

Empty moonlight, heavy moon
Puts the sun to bed too soon
Hungry half truths overflows
Betrays the silver ring she chose
Encouraged kisses, teasing touch
Kills a thirst to learn this much
The bliss abandoned, velvet trust
An open heart confused by lust
She didn’t need me,
I needed time to just hold on
And so she bleeds me dry
Cannot pretend that I’m that strong

Chorus
------------------------------------

In a fragile world
I have agile faith
And my fragile bones
Won’t break in haste
So the serpentine girl
With the turpentine words
Won’t light me up, won’t burn me out
Not today
------------------------------------

Loving lavished, a lover scorned
Petals red with blood from thorns
A careless promise, empty words
A smile from tears, a grace from curse
Stolen whispers, jealous rain
Wet the lips of truth in vain
Straining anchor, a kiss denied
Builds a dam to hold her lies
She didn’t need me
I needed time to just hold on
And so she bleeds me dry
Cannot pretend that I’m that strong

Chorus

Its a fragile world
I have agile faith
While my fragile bones
Won’t break in haste
So the serpentine girl
With the turpentine words
Won’t light me up, won’t burn me out
Not today

It’s my saving grace
It’s my fading grace

Don't Forget To Breathe

(Darius)

You can’t go on just as happy
You’re confused
Gonna get out of here
Wanna just disappear and start anew
Its them who’s wrong
Just can’t see the girl inside
So when you feel down and out
Baby just turn around, and

Chorus
-----------------------------------

Don’t forget to smile
When you cry then try to think of me
Don’t forget to smile
You don’t need to hide
Don’t forget to breathe me
Don’t forget to feel me
When you’re on your knees
Don’t forget to breathe
----------------------------------

You’re out of breath, out of patience
Out of mind
They cut you with words and lies
You wish you could close your eyes
and leave behind the jealousy
Wish they could see the hurt inside
So when it grinds you down
Baby just turn around, and

Chorus

It’s their ignorance that is your chance
For you to prove them wrong
All you need is to breathe
Is to feel you can see this through

Chorus

When you’re on your knees
Don’t forget to breathe

Right Girl Wrong Time

(Darius)

You’re next to me, you’re so at ease
Fall? I thought so deep
Everything’s right, everything’s wrong
Nothing I do can change this song
You know what really gets me about you
Is how you kiss my eyes awake
Love how you give
Love how you take
Love you for all the things you hate
When I’m with you I like who I am
I wanna be a better man
You know what really gets me about you
Is how do I face you when I leave

I’ve got to look but not touch
I want you so much
I feel so torn apart
I wish I could fall into you
Make love to you
I know that I could love you all my life
But you can’t be mine
Right girl wrong time

Everything’s right, everything’s wrong
Nothing I do can change this song
You’re next to me, you’re so at ease
I never thought I’d feel so awake
How do I say I can’t be with you
I can’t stop this roller coaster ride

I’ve got to look but not touch
I want you so much
I feel so torn apart
I wish I could fall into you
Make love to you
I know that I could love you all my life
But you can’t be mine oh no
Right girl wrong time
You can’t be mine
You’re my right girl at the wrong time
Right girl wrong time
Right girl wrong time

Better Man

(Darius, Kara Dioguardi, Stephen Lipson)

It's two o'clock in the morning
Thought you said that you would call
You took all my pride from me
So I'd be glad to fall and crawl
It's not like me to ever care
That's the side of me you dare
And I don't want to spend another sleepless night
Noooooo
Never being right

I know that I'm not perfect
And sometimes I'm just not worth it
But you make me want to be a better man
And you make me want to be the best that I can

Tell me now what I should do
I know all the things I've done
If I could I would take them back maybe then I'd be the one
It's not like me to even try
Because of you I've changed my mind
And I don't want to spend another day of my life
Nooooo
Never being right

I know that I'm not perfect
And sometimes I'm just not worth it
But you make me want to be a better man
Oh you make me want to be the best that I can

And I hate to wake you up
But I can't sleep without your touch
I need to hear you still could love me
Now I know I've been a fool
And I would change it if I could
But until I find a way to grow please don't go

Oh don't you know that you make me want to be a better man
Oh you make me want to be the best that I can.
You make me want to be a better man

Butterfly Spirit

(Darius/Tom Howe)

Wondering how you will swim out of this blue oblivion
Wake up in the morning wipe the dust from your eyes
When you open the curtains I can see you’re still hurting
But you don’t ever want them to know
You don’t want to be theirs like you’ve run out of air
And you’re suddenly up for release
You open the window
Feel the kiss of the breeze
You are free
You’re not weak
One day you’ll see the way your love’s your saving grace

You spread your wings and reach high
I wish that I could be like you
When you’re bathing in the calm before the storm
And then you soar with bird’s wings
You fly like a butterfly
You’ve got a butterfly spirit

Wondering if you can hide from the black you feel inside
Memories lie scattered on the floor like petals
And you scream for light in your mind
You’re looking for brighter days
Moonlit sunrise
Aren't we all, you need some space
That’s ok I will wait
My love for you’s my saving grace

You spread your wings and reach high
I hope one day I could be like you
When you’re bathing in the calm before the storm
And then you soar with bird’s wings
You fly like a butterfly
You’ve got a butterfly spirit

Ooohooh
And there’s enough life in it
To blind my skyyyyy
Butterfly spirit you’re burning
Don’t you know I feel it
Life’s all wrong
But we’re still young
There’ll be a tomorrow
And I still love you

You spread your wings and reach high
I wish one day I could be like you
When you’re bathing in the calm before the storm
And then you soar with bird’s wings
You fly like a butterfly

You spread your wings in the sky
I wish I was like you
When you’re bathing in the calm before the storm
And then you soar with bird’s wings
You fly like a butterfly
Oooh you fly like a butterfly
You’ve got a butterfly spirit
With so much light in it
You’ve got a butterfly spirit

Faith In Me

(Darius/Pete Glenister/Deni Lew)

I hit you from the stream
You’re hanging with the crowd
Now tell me are you big enough
And are you really making out
It’s written in the sun
Read it in the stars on Sunday
Don’t know Monday who you are
Hey yay yah
they don’t know

Put your faith in me
I’m solid, plant your faith in me
Won’t let you down when you believe
You laugh out loud, your faith in me
Won’t let you down girl, down girl
Come with me yehehhhh

They tell you who to love
They tell you who to rate
50 ways to leave your lover
Write the rules to getting laid
They tell you what is cool
Tell you that it’s hot to trot now
You got to, got to play the game

Hey yay yah they don’t know
Hey yay yah they don’t know
Put your faith in me
I’m solid, plant your faith in me
Won’t let you down when you believe
You laugh out loud, your faith in me
Won’t let you down girl, down girl
Come with me yehehhhh
Put your faith in me yeheheh
Put your faith in me

They tell us who is black
They tell us who is white
They said that it will be stormy weather
But nothing is ever cut and dry
So why’s it really worth the fight

Hey yay yoh yey yey
Put your faith in me
I’m solid, plant your faith in me
Won’t let you down when you believe
You laugh out loud your faith in me
I won’t let you down girl
Put your faith in me
I’m solid, plant your faith in me (I won’t let you down)
Won’t let you down (I won’t let you down) when you believe

You laugh out loud (I won’t let you) your faith in me
I won’t let you down girl, down girl
Come with me yehehhhh
Yehehhh
Yehehhhh

She’s coming home

(Darius/Tom Howe)

A part of me died the day that you left She didn’t tell me
No last goodbye
My heart left for dead
Somebody tell me
When it’s closing time
Pick up my broken mind
And the only thing I know
She’s my moon and sun

------------Chorus-------------
She’s the only one
she’s the only one
She freed me
And now I’m the lonely one
I’m lonely one
But I still believe
She’s coming home
She’s coming home to me
She’s coming home
She’s coming she just doesn’t know it yet
------------Chorus-------------

Black velvet sky
5 miles to go
Wish she was waiting
Too late to cry
Too late for hope
I wish she had waited
I don’t understand
Where is the love we had
The only thing I know
She’s my moon and sun

------------Chorus-------------

I think I found the girl who knew I had to grow
And stand alone
But she’s been around the world
I hope she finds the place she can call home
With or without me

She’s the only one
She’s the only one
She freed me
And now I’m the lonely one
I’m the lonely one
But I still believe
She’s coming home
She’s coming home to me
She’s coming home
She’s coming back you’ll see
She’s coming home
She’s coming ho-ome
She’s coming ho-ome
She just doesn’t know it yet

Sexy Individual

(Darius/John O'Kane)

Sexy sexy sexy thing
You make me wanna sing
And you don’t even know me
Sexy sexy sexy thing
You make me wanna sing
And you don’t even know me, girl
Every time I see you
I’m thinking, hey she’s got it in every single way
Every time I see you walk by my window
I see you in slow mo, my heart’s like a yoyo
And do you know

--------------------chorus-----------------------
You’re a sexy individual
You’re an out of town original
You’re a sexy sexy individual
And I know you know that you’re beautiful
--------------------chorus-----------------------

come on, come on, come on, now

Girl, I can see that you stand out from the crowd
And I love that you’re not like them somehow
Sexy sexy sexy thing
I can see your reflection in my window
I see you in slow mo, my heart’s like a yoyo
And do you know

--------------------chorus-----------------------

And it’s not just physical
And I wonder if I’ll see you today
And I wonder if you’re going my way
And I wonder if you believe in fate
Cos I do, hello
I didn’t know if you knew but I work here
Thought I’d stop you before you disappeared
I hope you don’t mind if I ask you your name
It might sound insane
Can I see you again,
Again and again and again and again and again

--------------------chorus-----------------------

You’re a sexy individual

Sexy sexy sexy thing
You make me wanna sing
And you don’t even know me

You’re an out of town original

Sexy sexy sexy thing
You make me wanna sing
And you don’t even know me

Ooh you’re a sexy sexy individual

Sexy sexy sexy thing
You make me wanna sing
And you don’t even know me

And I know you know that you’re beautiful
And you don’t even know me
You’re one of a kind original
But I want you to know me
Be my sexy sexy individual
I want you to know me
And it’s not just physical

I Would Die for You

(Darius, Pete Glenister, Deni Lew)

I wanna be there when you're out on the edge
And start to sweat
And lose your head
I know you've never been here before
But I wanna see more
Do you wanna see more ?
When I've been there when you're ready to pop
I never stop
Don't you stop
When you're hanging from the top of the cliff
Lose your grip
Let it slip

Let go
Come on, come on, come on
Let go
Catch yourself on
On and on and on
You're electric

I would die for you
But would you die for me
I'd do anything to make you see
Just to hit you harder
Would you die for me
Just like I'd die for you
I'd break all the rules I know for you
Just to make it better
La petite mort
La petite mort
La petite mort

Would you be here when I'm ready to break
It's worth the wait
For heavens sake
Take it 'til I catch your breath
There's nothing left
The little death
When I take you where you never would go
Curl your toes
Then explode
Would you close your eyes and give me your trust
It's only us
We're fit to bust

Let go
Come on, come on, come on
Let go
Catch yourself on
On and on and on
You're electric

La petite mort
La petite mort
There's nothing left
But the little death
There's nothing left
But the little death

Yeah
Come on, come on, come on
Let go
Catch yourself on
Let go
You're electric

La petite mort
Die for you
La petite mort
Die for me
La petite mort
La petite mort
La petite mort

Big Feather Bed

(Darius, Nik Kershaw, John O'Kane)

Come rest a while, rest a while
Let it all go
Don't turn away
Come and lay down your head
Just talk a while to my sweet talking pillow
There's room for you girl in my big feather bed

7am
I'm watching you dressing
It's raining again
You haven't stopped since you
Told me last night
We never seem to have time for love
I know that you're right
We're always in such a rush

We can't see our mistakes
Don't you know that
You don't have to work today
No

Come rest a while, rest a while
Let it all go
Don't turn away
Come and lay down your head
Just talk a while to my sweet talking pillow
There's room for you girl in my big feather bed
There's room for you girl in my big feather bed

7.15
You're running late and you
Can't find your keys
Might as well get back under here
Remember last night
You said things were getting too much
I think that we might
Need a little time just for us

Slow down, don't leave
Don't you know that
You don't have to work today
No

Lay your troubles down beneath my pillow
Steal the moment now and shut the World away
It's time to catch your breath
Underneath this blanket with me

So come rest a while, rest a while
Let it all go
Don't turn away
Come and lay down your head
Just talk a while to my sweet talking pillow
There's room for you girl in my big feather bed

Come rest a while, rest a while, rest a while
Let it all go
Don't turn away
Come and lay down your head
And just talk a while to my sweet talking pillow
There's room for you girl in my big feather bed
There's room for you girl in my big feather bed
Mmm sha la la la la la la la yeah, yeah
No don't leave now
Come back to bed, come back to bed...

Mystery of You

(Darius & John O'Kane)

You're a Mystery

We've got the whole day to ourselves
The only thing that I want to do
Is stay right here and lose myself in you
Don't want to take no short cut
I want to cover every inch of your skin
There's nowhere on Earth I'd rather be
Than on the end of your fingertips

'Cause it's you
That I'm travelling through
I'm travelling through the mystery of you
I'm unravelling you
I'm travelling through the mystery of
Blue skies and open roads
From your honey lips down to your toes
It's you that I'm travelling through
I'm travelling through the mystery of you

I love the way you hide behind
The smile and the pillowcase
There's something about your back when it curves that way
I want to take a road trip
Explore the secret of your kiss
There's nowhere on Earth I'd rather be
Than on the other side of your lips

'Cause it's you
That I'm travelling through
I'm travelling through the mystery of you
I'm unravelling you
I'm travelling through the mystery of
Moonlight and shooting stars
From your sugar lips to your open arms
It's you that I'm travelling through
I'm travelling through the mystery of you

I'm loving you
Every inch of my
You're loving too
Every touch, every smile
This journey through
A special place you
Take me to

'Cause it's you
That I'm travelling through
I'm travelling through the mystery of you
I'm unravelling you
I'm travelling through the mystery of
Blue skies and open roads
From your honey lips down to your toes
Never ever felt this good before
I'd go anywhere that you want me to go
'Cause it''s you
That I'm travelling through
I'm travelling through the mystery of you

It's a mystery
You're a mystery
It's a mystery I'm travelling through

Now or Never

(Darius & Julian Gallagher)

It took a while, took a smile
When it hit me that you make your own fate
And I can't wish my life away
And watching you, what you do
And the way that you look at me
Baby can't you see I'm scared
I'm out of my mind
My heart's trying to find
A little more time

It's getting late, can't hesitate
Can't let the moment slip away
I can't leave
My heart keeps telling me
It's now or never
Don't you ever
Be afraid to make mistakes
Take a chance
You won't regret it
It's now or never
Don't wait until tomorrow

Is a kiss just a kiss?
Or will it change the way we are?
I know how it feels to be rejected
Because I care, I couldn't bear
To lose the friend I've learned to love
To lose you when I've yearned so much to touch you
I'm bearing my soul
I'm losing control
But I need to know

It's now or never
Don't you ever
Be afraid to make mistakes
Don't look back
It all gets better
It's now or never
Don't wait until tomorrow
