"(Love Moves In) Mysterious Ways" (written by Tom Snow and Dean Pitchford)

Who'd have thought this is how the pieces fit
You and I shouldn't even try making sense of it
I forgot how we ever came this far
I believe we had reasons but I don't know what they are
Don't blame it on my heart, oh

Love moves in mysterious ways
It's always so surprising
When love appears over the horizon
I'll love you for the rest of my days
But still it's a mystery
How you ever came to me
Which only proves
Love moves in mysterious ways

Heaven knows love is just a chance we take
We make plans but then love demands a leap of faith
So hold me close and never never let me go
'Cos even though we think we know which way the river flows
That's not the way love goes, no

(Repeat chorus)

Like the ticking of a clock two hearts beat as one
But I'll never understand the way it's done, oh

(Repeat chorus)

Love moves... in mysterious ways....

"The Naked Truth" -- written by Julia Fordham...this song sounds similar to those on the debut album.

Your birthday came and went
The call I never made
The card I never sent
That's a good sign, a good sign
It must have slipped my mind
Like the shade of your eyes
Things fade I find,
in all good time, in good time

Stripped down to the naked truth
I never loved you a
Link in my chain
from here to my youth

Behind the living scenes
The parts that we played
seem like an old dream in sepia, in sepia
Reading between the lines
I was only killing time
Not a good sign, a good sign

Stripped down to the naked truth
I never loved you a
Link in my chain
from here to my youth

If you trace the chain back link by link
You'll find the girl who used to think
All you see is as it is
A sentiment I've grown to miss

Your birthday came and went
The call I never made
The card I never sent
That's a good sign

(3 times)
Stripped down to the naked truth
I never loved you a
Link in the chain
from here to my youth

"Manhattan Skyline"

What chance did I stand?  How could I resist?
Your American arms and your French kiss
From New York to London, London to New York
With this broken heart so British

Ooh ooh yeah yeah
As broken as the Manhattan skyline

Ooh ooh yeah yeah
As broken as the fragments of my mind
My mind my mind

New York to London...yeah

Now our love is lying like some troubled land
Now you are my Ireland, and I'm your 'Nam
From New York to London, London to New York
With this broken heart so British

Ooh ooh yeah yeah
As broken as the Manhattan skyline

Ooh ooh yeah yeah
As broken as the fragments of my mind
My mind my mind

I should cry more tears for Israel
Instead of dwelling in my own hell
And my love and my world's plight
They're still giving me sleepless nights

What chance did I stand?  How could I resist?
Now this broken this broken this broken heart...
So British

Ooh ooh yeah yeah
As broken as the Manhattan skyline

Ooh ooh yeah yeah
As broken as the fragments of my mind

(Repeat chorus; ad lib to fade)

"Loving You" is a cover of the Minnie Riperton song from several years back (written by Minnie Riperton and Richard J. Rudolph). Lyrics unavailable.


"One of the Boys" -- written by Julia Fordham...smoky jazzy feel to this one.

I used to be one of the boys
Guess I'll always be one of the boys
How you first saw me
As one of the boys
Will you always see me as one of the boys

Why oh why did I go wrong
That I should be singing this song
I'm hoping that you'll notice me
And not before too long

Please won't you please
As one of the boys
See more to me that just a boy

Why oh why did I go wrong
That I should be singing this song
I'm hoping that you'll notice me
And not before too long

I used to be

Why oh why did I go wrong
That I should be singing this song
I'm hoping that you'll notice me
And not before too long

I used to be
One of the boys
Guess I'll always be
One of the boys
Why oh why

"Melt" -- recorded for the film "The Flying Pennta", written by Angie Giles and Michael Moran...similar in sound and feel to "Falling Forward".

Like a mountain of ice
you move me inside
All through these cold dark waters and the
complex ecology of life
These are emotional times and all
our feelings run high
What with the troubles in somewhere
and the so called rebels that die

And I, and I melt
Inside, inside I'm melting

In this endless winter of our time
Endless winter of our time

I'm melting (8 times)

At the eleventh hour
will you be holding my hand
Will we be innocent victims of some
crazy battle for power
These unforgiveable crimes
devastating this land
Well I don't mind admitting that there's
some things I'll never understand

And I, and I melt
Inside, inside I'm melting

In this endless winter of our time
Endless winter of our time

I'm melting....

"Happy Ever After"

Don't ask me why I'm running out of laughter
There's tears in these eyes, not happy ever after
And I thought it was plain to see
And I thought the whole world could be
And I thought we'd be happy ever after.

You could say that I'm living in a pipe dream
It's just looking back, things are never what they seem
And I hope I can safely say
And I hope most things go my way
And I hope they'll be happy ever after.

	Down in Southern Africa no happy ever after
	Not now, but soon forever
	While they're sitting comfortably 
	In that white winter city
	How can we be happy ever after?

		Um by yay
		Est ce le South Africa

So don't ask me why I'm running out of laughter
There's tears in these eyes, not happy ever after.
And I thought it was plain to see
And I thought that maybe you and me
And I thought we'd be happy ever after.

		Um by yay
		Um by yay
		Um by yay
		Est ce le South Africa
