World Of Twist / Lyrics

Lose My Way

When she shows me how sweet a kiss can be
I feel a weakness coming over me
No
I try to fight it
I don't like to lose control
But then she'll kiss my very soul
No, no, no
She melts me like the snow
And she ties me like a bow
Like a dream we start to flow

My friends tell me that I'm acting like a fool
Uh
And they say she's going to make me lose my way
No
They can't remember what it's like to be in love
Because it can raise your very flow
No, no, no
It melts you like the snow
Then it ties you like a bow
Like a dream you start to flow

She melts me like the snow
La la la la la
Sha la la la la

Oh
There's no feelings that could explain the way I feel
When the beauty makes me kneel
No, no, no
She melts me like the snow
And she ties me like a bow
Will she ever let me go?

Sons Of The Stage

The beat breaks down so we pick it up
The floor shakes down but it's not enough
The beam is up and the kids are high
I've seen them move and it blows my eyes
The floor's an ocean and this wave is breaking
Your head is gone and your body's shaking
There is nothing you can do because there is no solution
You gotta get down to the noise and confusion

The sound goes round and we start to climb
The lips curl up and it kills my line
The beat is steal and the scene is sown
I see her eyes and her eyes are blown
The floor's an ocean and this wave is breaking
Your head is gone and your body's shaking
There is nothing you can do because there is no solution
You gotta get down to the noise and confusion

Out of our minds on the stage

The beat breaks down so we pick it up
The floor shakes down but it's not enough
The beam is up and the kids are high
I've seen them move and it blows my eyes
The floor's an ocean and this wave is breaking
Your head is gone and your body's shaking
There is nothing you can do because there is no solution
You gotta get down to the noise and confusion

Out of our minds on the stage

(There is nothing you can do because there is no solution
You gotta get down to the noise and confusion)

This Too Shall Pass Away

When your way is the darkest night
And you can't tell wrong from right
Remember nothing ever last forever
All things shall pass away
All things shall pass away

Though you're left alone to cry
And dark storm clouds hide the sky
There's no sadness that can't change to gladness
All things shall pass away
All things shall pass away

When you're feeling like a king
And you're lord of everything
And so you may deceive her
It's just make believe
And this too shall pass away
This too shall pass away
All things shall pass away

Jellybaby

(Jellybaby)
And sometimes I still can't believe my eyes
She is alive not just in my mind
We come alive to the dancey music
Yeah
You take me high
Yeah my jelly baby

I like the way you hold my hand
Come on maybe hold my hand

Her jelly lips and her candy coat
Ladies so fine is so hard to find

With your dancey music

Sometimes I still can't believe my eyes
Her jelly face looking into me
We can get high to the dancey music
Yeah

Jellybaby blow my horn

...someone to play with...

Speed Wine

Hey, what we're saying
I'm flying when you talk to me
The backgrounds fading, the countdown's waiting
I'm flashing and you cannot see
And it gives me a thrill, yeah
Hey, hey, rocket girl
Hey, hey, rocket girl
She takes me to different world
(Hey, hey, rocket girl)

Now, rocket baby, is floating in the starry sky
Her mind's a river, lips like silver
She takes me to the endless night
And she's up in the sky now
Hey, hey, rocket girl
Hey, hey, rocket girl
She takes me to another world
(Hey, hey, rocket girl)

Hey, hey, rocket girl

(Hey, hey, rocket girl)

The Lights

When the evening comes
Things start to change with the fall of the sun
A million lights all come to life
To light our way tonight

In the town the lights are bright
They suck you in like a lightning strike
They sparkle and shine and smile in the night
And drive me wild in the neon light

Now the feeling's here
The lights make you blind to the world out there
Laughter rings into the air
And searching eyes just stare

In the town the lights are bright
They suck you in like a lightning strike
They sparkle and shine and smile in the night
And drive me wild in the neon light

In the town the lights are bright
They suck you in like a lightning strike
They sparkle and shine and smile in the night
And drive me wild in the neon light

I want to see you having a good time

The Scene

Watching the people move
Moving, yeah, yeah, yeah

I know what the people say
Y' gotta let the people play
On the scene
You can live your dreams
On the scene

You make the moon so full
Everything's soft like wool
You don't want to work today
Come on baby let it play
On the scene
You can lead your dreams
On the scene

(home ?????????
On the all night life
Till the dawn
I can take more than a night
To find a little more)

Watching the people move
Everything's soft like wool
Baby you think you're cool
Watching it pops my eyes
I don't want to work today
I just want to float away
On the scene
You can meet your dreams
On the scene
On the scene
You can meet your dreams
Yeah I’ll meet you on the scene

Hey, yeah
Meet me on the scene

Sweets

Sweets are sweet
But you are sweeter baby
Your lips and feet
Could walk all over me

When I think of you
It makes the mood start burning
What can I do?
Baby you get me killing
When I look at you
I get such a feeling
With my love come slowly pouring
And my happiness comes crawling into view
This is what you do

Life is rushing by
And I can feel it leaving
We'll all going to die
And I can't take it baby

When I think of you
It makes the mood start burning
What can I do?
Baby you get me killing
When I look at you
I get such a feeling
With my love come slowly pouring
And my happiness comes crawling into view
This is what you do

When I look at you
I get such a feeling
When my love come slowly pouring
And my happiness comes crawling
And your head is gently falling into view
This is what you do

The Spring

When the light pours in just to touch your skin
It's time to get in to the world outside
You can live your life like a submarine
You have to emerge to get on the scene

Everybody's walkin 'round and nothing seems to get them down
The world goes 'round and it turns into the spring
Clouds and rainbows fill the air
And prettiness is everywhere
You don't know why but it's changing everything

When you feel that breeze it shakes the trees
It warms up your mind as the day goes by
It's the way you shine that just makes me smile
The spring's in your eyes and I’m starting to fly

Everybody's walkin 'round and nothing seems to get them down
The world goes 'round and it turns into the spring
Clouds and rainbows fill the air
And prettiness is everywhere
You don't know why but it's changing everything

Everybody's walkin 'round and nothing seems to get them down
The world goes 'round and it turns into the spring
Clouds and rainbows fill the air
And prettiness is everywhere
You don't know why but it's changing like the spring

The Storm

I'm a storm, baby
I'm a storm
I'm not warm
I'm not warm

Come on girl
Come on girl
Come on girl keep me warm from the storm

I've tried a thousand times
To make the sun shine in my mind
But the mind will not be warmed
I can't release it from the storm

Come on train
Come on train
Come on train take the pain down the line

I've tried a thousand drives
To try and say what's in my mind
But the words will not be born
But I can see them in the storm

Cause I tried a thousand ways
To make the sun shine in me say it
All around the world is torn
I can't release it from the storm

Come on girl
Come on girl
Come on girl kiss the pain in my mind

I've tried a thousand times
To make the sun shine in my mind
But the mind will not be warmed
I can't release it from the storm

Cause I tried a thousand ways
To make my love shine in me say it
All around the world is torn
I've left the cake out in the storm

She's A Rainbow

She comes in colours everywhere
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming colours in the air
Oh everywhere
She comes in colours

She comes in colours everywhere
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming colours in the air
She's everywhere
She comes in colours

Have you seen her dressed in blue?
See the sky in front of you
Have you seen a face so pale?
Speck of white just like a sail
Have you seen the lady Pharaoh?

She comes in colours everywhere
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming colours in the air
Mmm everywhere
She comes in colours

Have you seen her dressed in gold?
Have you seen the sun explode?
She shoots colours all around
Like a sunset coming down
Have you seen the lady Pharaoh?

She comes in colours everywhere
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming colours in the air
Oh everywhere
She comes in colours

She's like a rainbow
Comings in colours everywhere
She combs her hair

She's like a rainbow
Coming colours in the air
She's everywhere
She comes in colours

Blackpool Tower Suite

Come on baby, climb the tower
Cause every second up there last an hour
Watch the tiny people turning blue girl
And i can turn your face into the view

I don't know just what she's seen
What she goes for in her dreams
She's been here a long time
Out in the sunshine

Try to please you at the pier
I spin some sugar candy from your hair
Riding on the cork screw feels so fine girl
Down the twisting tunnels of your mind

I don't know just what you seen
What she goes for in her dreams
She's been here a long time
Bringing us good times

I don't know just what you seen
What she goes for, what she means
She's been here a long time
Out in the sunshine

Two miles high
She's in her steal
You can see her from the wheel
She's out on the coast line having a good time

I'm A Teardrop (Peel Session)

I was born to rain
Crying is my name
When trouble comes
I surrender to your heart, so very tender

Maybe the way I work
A little heartbreak
Then a little hurt
I come rolling down your cheek
A little teardrop
Baby that's me
I'm a teardrop
I'm a teardrop
Sometimes I’m there when you smile
It only last a little while
But there's one thing for certain
I'll be there with the hurting
I am the water in your eyes
I'm a teardrop
I'm a teardrop
Woa woa I’m a teardrop

I can change a sunny day
To a hazy shade of grey
I control all emotions
In my hand is your devotion
Maybe it's the way i work
A little heartbreak
Then a little hurt
I come rolling down your street
A little teardrop
Baby that's me
Oh no baby that's me
Mmm, baby that's me
I'm a teardrop
I'm a teardrop
