AMERICAN ENGLISH
(Gold / Gouldman)
Here comes my one and only
Talking like a starlet on a Hollywood screen
She whispers something to me
I hear the words but I don't know what she means
Oh she speaks American English
Oh don’t always understand
Though she speaks American English
Got the language of love
At her command
Love travels transatlantic
I'm hot and bothered by her figure of speech
Can't follow her semantics
But when her body moves it's clear to me
Chorus
We don’t need words to express what we feel
We've got each other
That says everything that we feel
There's too much damn confusion
With all this talking going round and round
We'll reach our own conclusion
We'll make connection on the common ground
Chorus
She speaks American English
She speaks the language of love
She speaks American English

IN SOME OTHER WORLD
(Gold / Gouldman)
The prophet born again, the bible in his hands
With fire and brimstone eyes
The saviour on TV with tax immunity
Donations exorcized
Who are these men in their ivory towers
Not heaven sent no no
Worshipping greed in the name of Jesus
Save our souls
Whoa, in some other world
You'd be branded as thieves
Thrown to your knees and made to answer
In some different time they would lock you away
As mad men I'd say Amen
Behind the public smile
The politicians guile so vain and powerful
Elected for his hair by people unaware
It's unbelievable
Brothers in arms robbing the future
Shining in childrens eyes
Shame on this world shame on our country
Shame on you
Chorus
We built you an altar
Instead of an outcast we made you a king
Respected and wealthy
The verdict is in, the jury is guilty
Worshipping greed in the name of Jesus
Shame on you
Chorus

READY OR NOT
(Gold / Gouldman)
The time has come for you to fly on your own
You don’t have to be afraid
We'll always be here to catch you when you fall
Yes you're all grown up today
So ready or not, time to break out
Out of your shell into the blue
Spread your wings across the sky
Ready or not, time to find out
What does the future hold for you
Fly away fly away fly away
The time has come for you to open your eyes
There's a brand new world to see
You've got the power to face it on your own
And fulfil your destiny
Chorus
You gotta spread your wings
Spread your wings
Fly away and cast your fate to the wind
Remember don’t look back
Don’t you ever look back
Let the moment carry you
We'll always be here to catch you when you fall
Yes you're all grown up today
Chorus
Fly away fly away fly away

CALL IT DESTINY
(Gold/Gouldman)
Meet me where your heart and the highway runs tonight, tonight
Jump into these wheels of fire and together we'll ride, we'll ride
Somewhere where we've never been
Somewhere where a chance is taken on a dream
Somewhere where we can begin
To let some passion out and some freedom in
Well somewhere in this mixed up and crazy world
There's a place, there's a place
Where people like us can be free to make our own mistake
Get a break
Come on there's no reason to wait
To realize the brave new world we can create
Now before it gets too late
Spin the wheel
Shake the hand of fate
Call it destiny
Every step you take leads to where you should be
Call it destiny
Cause you can't escape what was meant to be
Call it destiny
Aw come on make a stand
Take my hand and don't ever let go, no no
It's written in the stars in the cars on the radio, let's go
Somewhere where we've never been
Somewhere where a chance is taken on a dream
Somewhere where we can begin
To let some passion out and some freedom in
Chorus
Meet me where your heart and the highway runs tonight
Jump into these wheels of fire and together we'll ride

SHARE THE GLORY
(Bliss/Palmer)
Working girl, pin stripes and pearls
Making your own way in the world
Nobody gets in your way
Nothing can stop you
Now there's nothing to tie you down
'Cause you got what you wanted
But did you get what you need
When there is nobody there to share the glory
Working girl, how will you know
(When you reach that rainbow)
Is your dream alive if it doesn’t come true
(Will you win more than you lose)
Every step of the way I was behind you
And now you don’t even turn around
Chorus
I hear you talking 'bout your high ideas
But you ain't even with me when you're here
You burnt your bridges don’t look back
'Cause I ain't gonna be there
Chorus

ALRIGHT TONIGHT
(Gold/Gouldman)
Baby, I know you've been hurt
This world can be hard on your soul
Heartless and painful I know
But time, time is on your side
And what seems unbearable now
Will one day seem funny somehow
We are alright, we are alright
We are alright tonight
This world, this world can be so cruel
Making your dreams disappear
Just when you thought you were so near
Oh but this world, this world can be so kind oh yeah
Finding its own wondrous way
Of healing the heartache some way
Chorus
If you're down on your luck, just call on me
If you don't know where to turn yeah
Just call on me
And if you're lonely lonely lonely lonely
You know where I'll be
I'll be your shelter your guarantee
Chorus

THE PROMISE
(Gold/Gouldman)
Leaves are falling green and gold
Changing of the season
Safe and warm against the cold
Within our house new life unfolds
These are the promised days
From cradle to the grave
This is the special time
In which the light will shine
Welcome to the human world
Filled with love and hatred
Some are rich and some are poor
Unto this world our child is born
Chorus
He's coming, she's coming
Someone to build a new world for us
He's coming, she's coming
To keep the promise in all of us
Heed the warning wind that blows
Ignorance and evil
Rapes the harvest that we sow
Crush the flower where it grows
Chorus
He's coming, she's coming

HEAVEN IN HER BED
(Gold/Gouldman)
Golden sands sunny days
A beautiful girl in emerald waves
Out of my depth, over my head
I found heaven in her bed
A mystery, revealed to me
Higher than I'd ever been out of this world
I was hurled faster and faster and now I'm falling
Floating like a silken stream
Drifting through a velvet dream
Out of sync., out of time
Out of body, out of mind
We shared a slice of paradise
How could I ever look back
Into her web I was led
Over and over and I'm still falling
Down below the surface where the heart and soul of me
Dissolves into the whirlpool of emotion running free
All of my resistance disappears without a trace
I'm open to suggestion I am flying I am flying
High above the mountains and high above the clouds
Soaring with a passion that inside is bursting out
And I can almost see forever
Shining like a sparkle in her eyes
A mystery etc.
Golden sands etc.
I found heaven in her bed
Heaven in her bed

BUG IN THE MACHINE
(Gold/Gouldman)
I know you must've phoned
'Cause you can't live without me
But my answering machine must be going on the blink
I know you want to say, want to say you're sorry
But the message on the phone
Ssounded like 'leave me alone'
I must've bought a faulty unit
You couldn't want a world without me in it
And up to now it was working like a dream
Uh oh uh oh Bug in the machine
Must be something wrong, got a bad connection
The wires must be crossed, I know it can't be you I lost
Your voice was sounding strange to me
Like on your own was what you want to be
Reunited's what I'm sure you mean
Uh oh uh oh Bug in the machine
Oh I'm standing on the edge of a nervous breakdown
Cause an answering machine
You and I has come between
Can't hold a one way conversation
I need some real communication
I'd like to fix that little green
Uh oh uh oh Bug in the machine
I know you must've phoned
'Cause you can't live without me
My answering machine must be going on the blink
