Lyrics:
Too late, the melody is over
The joke seems to be on me cos I'm the one not laughing
Down here on the floor
Deflate, the mystery of living
In the most heartless fashion I could ever Imagine
No pretense of decor
Another place and time, without a great divide
And we could be flying deadly high
I'll sell my soul to dream you wide awake
Another place and time, without a warning sign
And we could be dying angel style
I'll sell my soul to dream you wide awake
I'll dream you... wide awake
With me, disaster finds a playfield
Love seems to draw dark, twisted pleasure tearing at me
Cos I can't let you go
Mercy, like water in a desert
Shine through my memory like jewelry in the sun
Where are you now
Another place and time...
I'll dream you... wide awake
It's like I'm racing to the sun, blindly face the blazing gun
Cos I'm afraid I will be left here without you
Like I'm racing not to run, give more when I have none
Cos I'm afraid I will be left here without you... wide awake

Lyrics:
I'm here tonight, the passion of your life. To up the stakes, you will be like me in time. So let me come inside your heart, your mind. Hell, I dare you to see yourself in a different light, where my hungry desire finds oblivion in your embrace, all mistakes forgiven in your embrace.
I'm here, I'm now, arrived I fell in to your love, I fell in to your lie eternal I'm here, I'm now, survived I fell in to your love, I fell in to your lie.
You're my sweet trial. All my vestiges of hope pin wishes upon this, to prove I can be right for you and me. This whole damn controversy will shift its course for better or for worse. In your embrace, all illusions broken in your embrace.
I'm here, I'm now, arrived I fell in to your love, I fell in to your lie eternal I'm here, I'm now, survived I fell in to your love, I fell in to your lie.
If you didn't desire me, my world could never feel more surreal. Cos it's only you can touch me deep enough to heal. N' if you didn't inspire me, then on my knees I would fall like rain. Cos it's only you can calm me with your touch, your voice so softly whispering.
I'm here, I'm now, arrived I fell in to your love, I fell in to your lie eternal I'm here, I'm now, survived I fell in to your love, I fell in to your lie.Poets of the Fall - Kamikaze LoveVendaaik2012-11-24 | A video for the lyrics of "Kamikaze Love", fourth song on the album "Temple of Thought" by Poets of the Fall.

Lyrics:
Here I go again rushing headlong without a second thought. Out where reality awaits, I choose to fantasize. And I build myself another piece of this memory estate, but I can't find the key to walk inside my own lies.
Hell, the way you walked in, I would kiss the earth beneath your feet.
Take me where the angels fall. You take it all. You give no quarter for my love. You raise me high to tear me down. Leaves you reeling, feels like stealing frantic moments of kamikaze love.
What you live and breath is why you're dying, I can see it in your eyes. It burns, but the waters will not flow, and we watch it all burn down just to pry ourselves another piece of this memory estate. but we can't find the key to unlock its doors for our souls.
Hell, the way you walked in, I would kiss the earth beneath your feet.
Take me where the angels fall. You take it all. You give no quarter for my love. You raise me high to tear me down. Leaves you reeling, feels like stealing frantic moments of kamikaze love.
Broken phrases, distorted faces, Misunderstanding standing in between. These stolen moments hijack my love. Miss Understanding grinning through her teeth.
Take me where the angels fall. You take it all. You give no quarter for my love. You raise me high to tear me down. Leaves you reeling, feels like stealing frantic moments of kamikaze love.Poets of the Fall - Cradled in loveVendaaik2012-11-24 | A video for the lyrics of "Cradled in Love", third song on the album "Temple of Thought" by Poets of the Fall.

Lyrics:
You had the blue note sapphire eyes, to back up all those gazes, to pierce my guard and to take my soul off to faraway places. Told me I'll never be alone, cos you're right there.
We took a gamble with this love, like sailing to the storm. With the waves rushing over to take us, we were battling against the tide. You were my beacon of salvation. I was your starlight.
So don't cry for your love. Cry tears of joy. Cos you're alive, cradled in love. Don't cry for your love. Cry tears of joy. Cos you're alive, cradled in love.
I kept the love you gave me alive, and now I carry it with me. I know it's just a teardrop from Mother Earth, but in it I can hear a dolphin sing, telling me I'll never be alone. I know you're right there.
So with the fire still burning bright, I wanna gaze into your light, if I could see my fortune there. You know how flames can hypnotize. Do I even dare to speak out your name for fear it sounds like, like a lover?
So don't cry for your love. Cry tears of joy. Cos you're alive, cradled in love. Don't cry for your love. Cry tears of joy. Cos you're alive, cradled in love.
Cradled in love.Poets of the Fall - Temple of ThoughtVendaaik2012-11-24 | A video for the lyrics of "Temple of Thought", second song on the album "Temple of Thought" by Poets of the Fall.

Lyrics:
Chills, chills come racing down my spine, like a storm on my skin. With shaking hands, I'll guide your sweet soul into mine, until I feel you within. And I know, I know that it's all about understanding. Am I hidden inside your beautiful soul as it's crying for love to conquer the day slowly dawning. I want you to know you're the heart of my temple of thought.
So when you're restless, I will calm the ocean for you. In your sorrow, I will dry your tears. When you need me, I will be the love beside you. I'll take away all your fears. I'll take away all of your fears. So you can let go all your fears.
And you stay, stay with me when I break down, like a dream come saving. And if words should fail here, I'll just read the way you sound, 'till I know the meaning of love and life. And it could be I'm understating what it means, that you're standing behind every word you say, to make my day slowly dawning. I want you to know you're the heart of my temple of thought.
So when you're restless, I will calm the ocean for you. In your sorrow, I will dry your tears. When you need me, I will be the love beside you. I'll take away all your fears. I'll take away all of your fears. So you can let go all your fears.
Dreams have nothing on my reality high on the scent of your skin. I know we're riding endlessly into the sun, feel the life deep within.
So when you're restless, I will calm the ocean for you. In your sorrow, I will dry your tears. When you need me, I will be the love beside you. I'll take away all your fears. I'll take away all of your fears. So you can let go all your fears.Poets of the Fall - Running out of TimeVendaaik2012-11-24 | A video for the lyrics of "Running out of Time", first song on the album "Temple of Thought" by Poets of the Fall.

Lyrics:
Here's my confession, cos I can't keep it in me, and you know I'm breathless as I come undone. Undone before you.
Loving every heartache, revel in every twisting turn. I can feel your wisdom burn in me like a second sun.
Please forgive me, I can't lay down to waste mine. Going crazy running out of...
Why's it feel, like it kills, when you're leaving me? am I still hanging on to the ends of yesterday in me, when I was crying for my fears, bitter tears but you made me see we're crazy running. Crazy running like we're running out of time.
Take my aggression as a gift to show us what we need to change. The thoughts we need to rearrange. Cos we're alright now.
Here's my confession, though I don't bow to authority, right and wrong are my left and right.
And this feels like we're crazy running like we're running out of time. Forgive me I can't lay down waiting.
Why's it feel, like it kills, you're not leaving me, am I still hanging on to the ends of yesterday in me, Still defining all my fears, bitter tears, you can make me see we're crazy running. Crazy running like we're running out of time.
Why's it feel, like it kills, you're not leaving me, am I still hanging on to the ends of yesterday in me, when I was crying for my fears, bitter tears, but you made me see we're crazy running.

I burn to make you understand One wrong word and it all may come crashing down For the fates are devious by heart They envy you your dreams, so they'll let you drown
And there is no why, there is no how, it's like the sky, just one free flow But you're here right now, and this is your show, so take a bow, cos the show is on right...
Here and now with all dreams realized Would you choose still more time to do Don't fall down when it's time to arise No-one else can heal your wounds
Once again taboo becomes your law What you want seems taken by another tide turning Away from our flower field where we used to lay beneath the sky, riding dreams to some other side
Do they burn, the wishes whispered, like secrets, they yearn, just to be heard I'm done with questions, I have no answers, the choice is yours, cos the show is on right...
Here and now with all dreams realized Would you choose still more time to do Don't fall down when it's time to arise No-one else can heal your wounds
The bigger the lies The more they want to believe them And like a vice Hold on to what they believe in
Here and now with all dreams realized Would you choose still more time to do Don't fall down when it's time to arise No-one else can heal your wounds
Here and now with all dreams realized Would you choose still more time to do Don't fall down cos I need you to rise No-one else can heal my woundsPoets of the Fall- Smoke and MirrorsVendaaik2012-01-23 | A video for the lyrics of "Smoke and Mirrors", ninth song on the album "Twilight Theater" by Poets of the Fall.

I danced a tango with my hubris high on youth We swept across the dance floor to subjective truth
But there was no harmony there No reason for coexistence Nothing to span the distance, now
Do we even know who we are Living like all life is forfeit Like we can just go redefine it Regardless what we broke
Who died and made us stars With our intellectual gambits Our millionaire flair and our antics We're like mirrors seen through smoke
I tried a shanty with the fool to find my pace Anything from puns to jests to intertwine our ways
But there was no loyalty to hope And funny the need for mercy How it makes us bleed all mercy, now
Do we even know who we are Living like all life is forfeit Like we can just go redefine it Regardless what we broke
Now the melody's void of sympathy cos that shit's in byte size bits on YouTube so tell me what am I supposed to do When the malady's no remedy Till we reach the lowest absolute And necessity will finally force something through what's walling you
Do we even know who we are Living like all life is forfeit Like we can just go redefine it Regardless what we brokePoets of the Fall - Youre Still HereVendaaik2012-01-23 | A video for the lyrics of "You're Still Here", eighth song on the album "Twilight Theater" by Poets of the Fall.

Mercury dances in its skyscraper cell, rising and falling like rhapsody And I see winter's broken like lace, in time for a celebration
Thaw wails inside the walls and laughs in the corners, delighting in its evident victory Till I feel springtime counting its days of flaunting a novel sensation
Like it's leaving, leaving behind the weight vying for yesteryear Leaving promises in its wake, whispering, my love, you're still here
Hold on to your memories of sundogs and rainbows, as time writes a premature eulogy And I feel summertime passing in haste, like running out of patience
Quilted with knit and umbrellas and scarfs and a mild understanding of irony I feel autumn leaving the race, all done with the exhilaration
It's leaving, leaving behind the weight vying for yesteryear Leaving promises in its wake, whispering, my love, you're still here
Mercury dances in its skyscraper cell, rising and falling in harmony And I feel winter stealing my days, to herald another creationPoets of the Fall - Dying to LiveVendaaik2012-01-23 | A video for the lyrics of "Dying to Live", seventh song on the album "Twilight Theater" by Poets of the Fall.

Tell me this, would you miss it, trying on another face again to see if it's you N' wondering where you've been and where you're gonna find yourself before the night is through
I know the way you go cos I've been the same for too long Like I'm fearful that my choices are all wrong I know the way you go cos I've lived your life of make believe Dying to live
Tell me this, is it lonely in the shadow of a masquerade for life you hide behind What's the deal with your reasons to run away and let your feelings leave you undefined
I know the way you go cos I've been the same for too long Like I'm fearful that my choices are all wrong I know the way you go cos I've lived your life of make believe Dying to live
Behind me now the winding road they sing of I've come to stand before a silent wall Finally a chance to find a question To point out the right answer after all ...this time
So rid us of the plight, the plight of self affliction Generations choice the drug of self deception
I know the way you go cos I've been the same for too long Like I'm fearful that my choices are all wrong I know the way you go cos I've lived your life of make believe Dying to livePoets of the Fall - RewindVendaaik2012-01-23 | A video for the lyrics of "Rewind", sixth song on the album "Twilight Theater" by Poets of the Fall.

What do we have but illusions where one man's absolute is another's choice Giving in to confusion, till love and hate both tempt with the same voice Won't you take me to a higher ground, I need to see again the way I'm bound N' choose the uneasy redemption, run by fear and the flaws of attraction
Rewind, I wanna go it again, light up the dark, halo on the side So I'll know it will not leave me wanting, I see my heart, waving me bye-bye Rewind, I wanna go it again, light up the dark, halo on the side
If life itself has a meaning, is it anything more than what we choose to call it Sweet words make appealing, but they only serve to mask the smell of what you buried Is it worth your while to spend on a lie, even though you cannot see eye to eye N' give in to the rumor seduction, run by fear and all the good intentions
Rewind, I wanna go it again, light up the dark, halo on the side So I'll know it will not leave me wanting, like my love, kissing me good bye Rewind, I wanna go it again, light up the dark, halo on the side
If this is how we think we make amends We're in for a race that never ends Where is it we think we'll go What is it we think we know It'll never change until we change ourselves
Rewind, I wanna go it again, light up the dark, halo on the side So I'll know it will not leave me wanting, I see my heart, waving me bye-bye Rewind, I wanna go it again, light up the dark, halo on the side So I'll know it will not leave me wanting, like my love, kissing me good bye Rewind, I wanna go it again, light up the dark, halo on the sidePoets of the Fall - Given and DeniedVendaaik2012-01-23 | A video for the lyrics of "Given and Denied", fifth song on the album "Twilight Theater" by Poets of the Fall.

Which way to the fountain of my youth I wonder
Which way to the years I've let go by
Let a thirsty man drink in its memories while the water still flows sweet and crystal clear
For yesteryear
Oh to see the sun's eclipse
on the horizon like ships
sailing way away from here
Oh just one more time my dear
Before I'll go hear me out
Cos of this there ain't no doubt
When it's time for curtain call
Just before the shadows...
Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean
Of blue like your eyes in the twilight theater
With symphonies playing in the world without sound
We're given and denied
Give me back my innocence cos I wish to dream again
Like I never outgrew my old playground
Where the sun sets slowly with a golden crown and the leaves sing lullabies 'round vacant swings
Give me those wings
Let me fly once again
Like I did way back when
I would gamble and win
To lift me high above the din
Of the future we see
Does it hold something for me
I'm weightless again
Just before the shadows...
Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean
Of blue like your eyes in the twilight theater
With symphonies playing in the world without sound
We're given and denied
Before I'll go hear me out
Cos of this there ain't no doubt

The reaper's kneeling at your field taking in what you've sown Can't help feeling apprehension No point in waiting, for a rating for what you have grown Look for liquid consolation If I act accordingly will it save my humanity You're either you or a loyalty disowned Well excuse me
Who was it who wanted every sec of the fifteen minute flame of fame A name to last for all eternity Who was it who wanted ingratiation beyond definitions When love alone is enough to set you free
No escaping though you're running, you cannot find home Drowning in your desperation Conviction seems to follow accusations alone No place here for an easy redemption If I lack your tears of joy, please forgive my heartless ploy Said the fool to his majesty dethroned Now excuse me
Who was it who wanted every sec of the fifteen minute flame To name a love to last through all your infamy Who was it who wanted ingratiation in their definitions When name alone can jail eternally
Who was it who wanted every sec of the flame
Who was it who wanted every sec of the fifteen minute flame of fame A name to last for all eternity Who was it who wanted ingratiation beyond definitions When love alone is enough to set you freePoets of the Fall - ChangeVendaaik2011-08-18 | A video for the lyrics of "Change", third song on the album "Twilight Theater" by Poets of the Fall.

Lyrics:
You say you feel a chill in the season
Like something is falling apart
You say you can't hold it together much longer
And I should look after your heart
But I feel a change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
And it's bending your will like a willow tree twisting
Trying to regain its form
How does it make you feel
When you remember the times the two us lay here
In the arms of the world on the doorstep of heaven shining down
Do you feel a change coming on,
Rolling out of the blue like a storm,
And it's throwing your dollhouse world in disarray
So you can rebuild or conform
How I wish you'd only see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true before it can leave you
I wish that you could see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true all around you
My worth is the look in your eyes
My prize the smile playing tricks on your lips and I wonder again
Do you ever dream of the world like I do
I too fear the change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
Can you hear it scream at the hurt that I knew
How I wish you'd only see...
What is this chill at my heel
That makes the protections I've built around my pseudo world premiere
Tearing my utopian fiction apart as it happens to just pass along
I feel a change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
Crashing against my delirious thoughts where humanity's waiting alone
How I wish you'd only see...Poets of the Fall - WarVendaaik2011-08-17 | A video for the lyrics of "War", second song on the album "Twilight Theater" by Poets of the Fall.

Lyrics:
Do you remember standing on a broken field
White crippled wings beating the sky
The harbingers of war with their nature revealed
And our chances flowing by
If I can let the memory heal
I will remember you with me on that field
When I thought that I fought this war alone
You were there by my side on the frontline
When I thought that I fought without a cause
You gave me a reason to try
Turn the page I need to see something new
For now my innocence is torn
We cannot linger on this stunted view
Like rabid dogs of war
I will let the memory heal
I will remember you with me on that field
When I thought that I fought this war alone
You were there by my side on the frontline
And we fought to believe the impossible
When I thought that I fought this war alone
We were one with our destinies entwined
When I thought that I fought without a cause
You gave me the reason why
With no-one wearing their real face
It's a whiteout of emotion
And I've only got my brittle bones to break the fall
When the love in letters fade
It's like moving in slow motion
And we're already too late if we arrive at all
And then we're caught up in the arms race
An involuntary addiction
And we're shedding every value our mothers taught
So will you please show me your real face
Draw the line in the horizon
Cos I only need your name to call the reasons why I fought
When I thought that I fought this war alone...Chris de Burgh - CrusaderVendaaik2011-05-02 | A video for the lyrics of "Crusader", eighth song on the compilation album "Best Moves" by Chris de Burgh.

Lyrics:
"What do I do next?" said the Bishop to the Priest,
"I have spent my whole life waiting, preparing for the Feast,
And now you say Jerusalem has fallen and is lost,
The King of Heathen Saracen has seized the Holy Cross;"
Then the Priest said "Oh my Bishop, we must put them to the sword,
For God in all His mercy will find a just reward,
For the Noblemen and sinners, and Knights of ready hand
Who will be the Lord's Crusader, send word through all the land,
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost,"
"tell me what to do," said the King upon his throne,
"But speak to me in whispers, for we are not alone,
They tell me that Jerusalem has fallen to the hand
Of some bedevilled Eastern heathen who has seized the Holy Land;"
Then the Chamberlain said "Lord, we must call upon our foes
In Spain and France and Germany to end our bitter wars,
All Christian men must be as one and gather for the fight,
You will be their leader, begin the Battle cry,
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost,
Ooh, high on a hill, in the town of Jerusalem,
There stood Saladin, the King of the Saracens,
Whoring and drinking and snoring and sinking, around him his army lay,
Secure in the knowledge he had won the day;
A messenger came, blood on his feet and a wound in his chest,
"The Christians are coming!" he said, "I have seen their Cross in the West,"
In a rage Saladin struck him down with his knife,
And he said "I know that this man lies,
They quarrel too much, the Christians could never unite!
I am invincible, I am the King,
I am invincible, and I will win..."
Closer they came, the army of Richard Lionheart,
Marching by day and night, with soldiers from every part,
And when the Crusaders came over the mountain and they saw Jerusalem,
They fell to their knees and prayed for her release;
They started the battle at dawn, taking the city by storm,
With horsemen and bowmen and engines of war,
They broke through the city walls,
The Heathens were flying and screaming and dying,
And the Christian swords were strong,
And Saladin ran when he heard their victory song;
"We are invincible, God is the King,
We are invincible, and we will win!"
"What do I do now?" said the Wise man to the Fool,
"I have spent my whole life searching, to find the Golden Rule,
Though centuries have disappeared, the memory still remains;
Of those enemies together, could it be that way again?"
Then the Fool said "Oh you Wise men, you really make me laugh,
With your talk of vast persuasion and searching through the past,
There is only greed and evil in the men who fight today,
The Song of the Crusader has long since gone away,
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem."Chris de Burgh - A Spaceman Came TravellingVendaaik2011-05-02 | A video for the lyrics of "A Spaceman Came Travelling", eighth song on the compilation album "Best Moves" by Chris de Burgh.

Lyrics:
A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar,
'Twas light years of time since his mission did start,
And over a village he halted his craft,
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star...
He followed a light and came down to a shed,
Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed,
A bright light of silver shone round his head,
And he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid...
Then the stranger spoke, he said "Do not fear,
I come from a planet a long way from here,
And I bring a message for mankind to hear,"
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air...
And it went La La...
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child...
This lovely music went trembling through the ground,
And many were awakened on hearing the sound,
And travellers on the road, they village they found,
By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all around...
And just before the dawn at the paling of the sky,
The stranger returned and said "Now I must fly,
When two thousand years of your time has gone by,
This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry..."
And it went La La... This song will begin once again to a baby's cry...
And it goes La La... Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child...
Of the whole world is waiting, waiting to hear that song again,
There are thousands standing on the edge of the world,
And a star is moving somewhere, the time is nearly here,
This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry...Chris de Burgh - Lonely SkyVendaaik2011-05-02 | A video for the lyrics of "Lonely Sky", eighth song on the compilation album "Best Moves" by Chris de Burgh.

Lyrics:
The cold north winds they call "La Bise"
Is swirling round about my knees,
Trees are crying their leaves into the river;
I'm huddled in this French café,
I never thought I'd see the day,
But winter's here and summer's really over,
Even the birds have packed up and gone,
They're flying south with their song,
And my love, she too has gone, she had to fly,
Take care, it's such a lonely sky,
They'll trap your wings my love and hold your flight,
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky,
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky...
The old cathedral lights are low,
She and I we'd often go there,
To admire and sometimes kneel in prayer;
Lords and Ladies lie in store,
Hand in hand from long ago,
And though their hands are cold they'll love forever,
Even the choir rehearses those songs,
For Christmas is not long,
And alone, I sing my song, she had to fly,
Out there, it's such a lonely sky,
They'll trap your wings my love and hold your flight,
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky,
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky...
Fly away, fly to me, and if you need my love,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky.
I'll come in with the dawn,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky,
On the wings of the morn,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky,
Above the world we'll be flying,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky...Chris de Burgh - Broken WingsVendaaik2011-05-02 | A video for the lyrics of "Broken Wings", eighth song on the compilation album "Best Moves" by Chris de Burgh.

Lyrics:
These broken wings can take me no further I'm lost, and out at sea, I thought these wings would hold me forever, And on to eternity, And far away I can hear your voice, I can hear it in the silence of the morning, But these broken wings have let me down, They can't even carry me home,
In broken dreams that keep me from sleeping, I remember all the things I said, Well I've broken all the promises, I said I would be keeping, They're gone, like leaves they fell, For it's so hard when you're so far away, All I needed was a shoulder I could cry on, Now these broken wings have woken me, My love, will carry me home,
Or will you treat me like some traveller On a dark and lonely road, Who sees a light and a woman who will give him love, Oh and just when she reaches the part, When she's supposed to comfort his broken heart, She turns away, and send him travelling on, on,
Oh when I left, I believed that nothing would go wrong, I thought the whole world would be waiting for my story, Take me back, my love, I need you now, Come back and carry me home, Take me back and heal these broken wings, Come back and carry me home.Chris de Burgh - Waiting for the HurricaneVendaaik2011-05-02 | A video for the lyrics of "Waiting for the Hurricane", seventh song on the compilation album "Best Moves" by Chris de Burgh.

Lyrics:
Standing in the foyer of the Grand Hotel,
Suitcase in his hand looking for a bill,
There's a hurricane coming and everyone's trying to get away;
Time of the season, time of the year,
The weather reporter from Miami is clear,
"Find a place to hide," there's no place here;
And then the lights go down,
In that Caribbean town,
And the fishing boats that go out from the coast,
Are tied up and dry, Yeah Yeah Yeah,
Suddenly there's a movement to the telephone,
But nobody's calling home tonight,
They've taken out the very last flight,
And they closed down the borderline,
'Cos there ain't nowhere to hide
Waiting for the hurricane,
There's nowhere here to hide,
Waiting for the hurricane,
Oh there's nowhere you can hide,
Waiting for the hurricane, No No No No...
Staring out of the window of the Grand Hotel,
The sea was roaring, I remember well,
And then the honeymoon bride began to cry,
But as the band played on,
Some old love song,
Well he held her hand,
Gave her to understand,
It'll be alright, Yeah Yeah Yeah,
Suddenly there's a movement on the radio,
But nobody's getting home tonight,
They've taken out the very last flight,
And they closed down the borderline,
'Cos there ain't nowhere to hide
Waiting for the hurricane,
There's nowhere here to hide,
Waiting for the hurricane,
Oh there's nowhere you can hide,
Waiting for the hurricane,
There's nowhere you can hide,
Waiting for the hurricane,
Oh Oh, waiting for the hurricane,
Oh Oh, waiting for the hurricane,
No No No No...Chris de Burgh - Spanish TrainVendaaik2011-05-02 | A video for the lyrics of "Spanish Train", sixth song on the compilation album "Best Moves" by Chris de Burgh.

Lyrics:
There's a Spanish train that runs between,
Guadalquivir and old Seville,
And at dead of night the whistle blows,
And people hear, she's running still...
And then they hush their children back to sleep,
Lock the doors, upstairs they creep,
For it is said that the souls of the dead,
Fill that train ten thousand deep!!
Well a railwayman lay dying with this people by his side,
His family were crying, knelt in prayer before he died,
But above his bed just-a-waiting for the dead,
Was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye,
"Well God's not around and look what I've found,
This one's mine!!"
Just then the Lord himself appeared in a blinding flash of light,
And shouted at the Devil, "Get thee hence to endless night!!"
But the Devil just grinned and said "I may have sinned,
But there's no need to push me around,
I got him first so you can do your worst,
He's going underground!!"
"But I think I'll give you one more chance"
Said the Devil with a smile,
"So throw away that stupid lance,
It's really not your style,"
"Joker is the name, Poker is the game,
We'll play it right here on this bed,
And then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet,
The souls of the dead!!"
And I said "Look out, Lord, He's going to win,
The sun is down and the night is riding in,
That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line,
Oh Lord, He's going to win!..."
Well the railwayman he cut the cards
And he dealt them each a hand of five,
And for the Lord he was prayinf hard,
Or that train he'd have to drive...
Well the Devil he had three aces and a king,
And the Lord he was running for a straight,
He had the queen and the knave and nine and ten of spades,
All he needed was the eight...
And then the Lord he called for one more card,
But he drew the diamond eight,
And the devil said to the son of God,
"I believe you've got it straight,
So deal me one for the time has come,
To see who'll be the king of this place,"
But as he spoke, from beneath his cloak,
He slipped another ace...
Ten thousand souls was the opening bid,
And soon it went up to fifty-nine,
But the Lord didn't see what the Devil did,
And he said, "that suit me fine,"
"I'll raise you high to a hundred and five,
And forever put an end to your sins,"
But the Devil let out a mighty shout, "My hand wins!!"
And I said "Lord, oh Lord, you let him win,
The sun is down and the night is riding in,
That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line,
Oh Lord, don't let him win..."
Well that Spanish train still runs between,
Guadalquivir and old Seville,
And at dead of night the whistle blows,
And people fear she's running still...
And far away in some recess,
The Lord and the Devil are now playing chess,
The devil still cheats and wins more souls,
And as for the Lord, well he's just doing his best...
And I said "Lord, oh Lord, you've got to win,
The Sun is down and the night is riding in,
That train is still on time, Oh my soul is on the line,
Oh Lord, you've got to win..."Chris de Burgh - Satin Green ShuttersVendaaik2011-05-02 | A video for the lyrics of "Satin Green Shutters", fifth song on the compilation album "Best Moves" by Chris de Burgh.

Lyrics:
Where your love is, put your heart, guard these moments well,
Where your dreams are, put your hopes, you know they will not fail you,
When the sun rises in the morning, you will wake up and find her yawning,
When the wind blows strong and cold, she'll be with you until you grow old,
Where your love is, put your heart, of what would you do if your dreams came true?
I would build a lovely house with satin green shutters, it would be lovely
The most lovely house in the world...
And I would sing a lovely song with you in my mind, and you in my eyes,
The most lovely song in the world...
I would write it down on the wall, just for you, just for you;
And I would hold you in arms for the rest of my days
When you're sad and feeling low, you're on your own with nowhere to go,
Make believe that she is gone, play your guitar and write a song for her,
Write down the words about how you cried when you woke up weeping,
'Cos you thought that she had died, and you heard breathing,
Through your pain and you held her close and cried all over again;
Where you love is, put your heart, oh what would you do if your dreams came true?
And in my lovely house with satin green shutters, there would be children,
The most lovely children in the world:--
And even when the skies are grey, we would be happy, for we have love,
The most lovely love in the world;
I would write it down on the wind, just for you, just for you;
And I would hold you in arms for the rest of my days.Chris de Burgh - In a Country ChurchyardVendaaik2011-05-02 | A video for the lyrics of "In a Country Churchyard", third song on the compilation album "Best Moves" by Chris de Burgh.

Lyrics:
In a country churchyard there's a Preacher with his people, Gathered all around to join a man and a woman, Spring is here and turtledoves are singing from the steeple, Bees are in the flowers, growing in the graveyard, And over the hill, where the river meets the mill, A lovely girl is coming down, To give her hand upon her wedding day...
Dressed in simple white and wearing flowers in her hair, Music as she walks slowly to the altar, And picking up his Bible then the Preacher turns towards her, "Will you take this man to be your wedded husband, To honour and love in the eyes of God above, Now let the people sing with me, These words to live forever in your heart...
Let your love shine on, For we are the stars in the sky, Let your love shine strong, Until the day you fly away."
Many years have fallen on that golden country morning, The graveyard's overgrown, the church it lies in ruins, Ivy on the walls and ravens wheeling round above me, As I made my way towards the last remaining headstone, I fell to my knees, read the lines beneath the leaves, And suddenly it seemed to me, I heard the words like the singing in the trees...
Let your love shine on, For we are the stars in the sky, Let your love shine strong, Until the day you fly away...Chris de Burgh - Every Drop of RainVendaaik2011-05-02 | A video for the lyrics of "Every Drop of Rain", second song on the compilation album "Best Moves" by Chris de Burgh.

Lyrics:
They say there will be rain tonight,
But that's ok, we'll stay inside,
This is the first time I have felt so satisfied,
I know love has found me;
And now the night, is getting wild,
And she is sleeping like a child,
And thought I know, I know I should be dreaming,
I'm tossing and turning, 'cos I wonder,
Yes I wonder, how it began,
Growing in the forests and the freeways,
Minute by minute she became a part of me,
And suddenly love is here and I'm falling,
Just like every drop of rain,
Many drops can someday make a river,
And many rivers go down to the sea,
And the sea rolls on forever, forever,
And now I'll sleep till morning light,
I have no fear of stormy nights,
Because the one that I have wanted all my life,
Is right here beside me, and I wonder,
Oh the wonder, how it began,
Growing in the forests and the freeways,
Minute by minute she became a part of me,
And suddenly love is here and I'm falling,
Just like every drop of rain,
Many drops can someday make a river,
And many rivers go down to the sea,
And the sea rolls on forever,
Oh oh every drop of rain...Chris de Burgh - The TravellerVendaaik2011-05-02 | A video for the lyrics of "The Traveller", first song on the compilation album "Best Moves" by Chris de Burgh.

Lyrics:
In from the coast, riding like the wind and racing the moon,
Shadows on the road, dancing and a-weaving like a crazy fool,
A horseman is coming, death in his heart for a rendezvous,
And where the Traveller goes, nobody knows,
Where the Traveller goes, nobody knows;
A candle in the night, fear on every face when he goes inside,
"Maybe he's on the run,"
Get back from the bar, a stranger in town is a dangerous sight,
"Maybe he's got a gun,"
"bring a bottle of whiskey landlord, I want to talk for awhile,"
And where the Traveller goes, a cold wind blows,
Where the Traveller goes, a cold wind blows.
There is something in his eyes, something in his hands,
You can almost smell his revenge,
And whoever he is after, it will be disaster,
This man is gonna take him to the very end;
Well the landlord he trembled, staring at a face he'd seen somewhere before,
"You laid him in the ground,"
Suddenly remembered a killing, yes a murder many years before.
"T'was you that shot him down,"
He said to a boy, "Saddle me the black, I'll meet you down below.
With this man I must talk, with this Traveller I'll go,
With this man I must talk, yes with him I must go.
There is something in his eyes, something in his hands,
I can almost smell his revenge,
And it's me that he's after, it will be disaster,
This man is gonna take me to the very end,"
And they were never seen again...Chris de Burgh Patricia the Stripper LyricsVendaaik2010-12-27 | A video for the lyrics of "Patricia the Stripper", fourth song on the compilation album "Best Moves" by Chris de Burgh.

Lyrics:
Dennis is a menace with his "anyone for tennis?"
And beseeching me to come and keep the score...
And Maud says "Oh Lord! I'm so terribly bored!"
And I really can't stand it anymore...
I'm going out to dinner with a gorgeous singer
To a little place I've found down by the Quay;
Her name is Patricia, she calls herself Delicia,
And the reason isn't very hard to see...
She says God made her a sinner to keep the fat men thinner,
As they tumble down in heaps before her feet,
They hang around in groups like battle-weary troops,
One van often see then queue right down the street...
You see Patricia, or Delicia, not only is a singer
She also removes all her clothing...
For Patricia is the best stripper in town.
And with a swing of her hips she starts to strip,
To tremendous applause she took off her drawers,
And with a lick of her lips she undid all the clips,
Threw it all in the air, and everybody stared,
Ans as the last piece of clothing fell to the floor,
The police were banging on the door,
On a Saturday night in nineteen twenty-four...
Take it away boys!
But poor Patricia was arrested and everyone detested
The manner in which she was exposed,
And later in court, well, everyone thought,
That a summer run in Gaol would be proposed.
But the Judge said, "Patricia,
Or may I say, Delicia,
The facts of this case lie before me...
Case dismissed... this girl was in her working clothes!!"
And with a swing of her hips she starts to strip,
To tremendous applause she took off her drawers,
And with a lick of her lips she undid all the clips,
Threw it all in the air, and everybody stared,
Ans as the last piece of clothing fell to the floor,
The police were yelling for more!!!
On a Saturday night in nineteen twenty-four...
On a Saturday night in nineteen twenty-four...
