LOVE, HOPE AND GLORY.. ALBUM LYRICS

SO HARD TO STOP LOVING YOU

words and music by Steve Larkman.
So many times, maybe lately twenty times.

If the gold has been fools you've seen us all through. Many times.

In the Summertime. Then will there come a time if the borders remain can we break through the rain in the Summertime?

When I saw you today I got carried away with my heart, it's so hard to stop loving you. It's so very hard to stop loving you.

Why can't we pretend you love me again,

tomorrow will soon bring another day.

Jill sing along and the friends you wanna bring along

Cos' soon like this song the time will be gone, so sing along.

I'll stay to the end 'til you love me again like the stars.

It's so hard to stop loving you, it's awful hard to stop loving you.

Though just to let go hurts me so tomorrow will soon bring another day.

SHE’S IN LOVE

words and music by Steve Larkman.
Standing on the corridor waiting in a train.

He’s gone and lost another girl. The superbrain.

His tastes of paradise disappeared, drove him crazy in a moment of soul.

So don’t start playing that lover’s song, it shows he’s got a long way to go.

He says “How can I face another day, when I have to stand and see my baby slip away?

She’s in love never to be mine, deep in love my baby’s doing fine.

She’s in love.”

She was kind and wonderful she put the zap on his head.

Hhe starts out playing those lover’s songs lying all alone on his bed.

But she won’t stop falling in love again, she’s rocking it all over the world.

He says “How can I face it anymore, will I have to stand and see them walking past my door?

She’s in love never to be mine, deep in love my baby’s doing fine.

She’s in love.”

Hey! She’s so in love.

LAZY BLUE

words and music by Steve Larkman

Can I be your baby tonight? Ooh yea your baby tonight

It's a long way where I'm gone.

Can I play your lover's fool If I come to your Mother's school at 6 o’clock tonight?

Don't run away without me like you do.

Don't kiss me once and leave me lazy blue.

With eyes that fire no dreams of yesterday.

The times for weariness we've put away,

I love you more than ever yes I do,

I will love you more for ever lazy blue.

I think my mind has gone missing since I let you take me in your arms and hold me tight.

Can I see you later tonight? It's sad when you’re gone.

And you’re gone.

So kiss me once and hold me like you do I love you more than ever lazy blue.

We love you more than ever lazy blue.

STELLA & JOE

words and music by Steve Larkman.
I dreamed I reached and touched your golden hair

I would open up my eyes and you'd be there.

Standing on the corner we believed that if we fell

Then we would stay in love forever Stella, never growing old.

Still waiting at the station everyday since you once said

"My darling wait trust me forever" oh my Stella where d'ya go?

Love from Joe.

Those years ago we kissed and crossed the line

and swore to be together 'til the end of time.

But I've waited on the corner from the day that you once said

"Joe will you please trust me forever" Stella how was I to know?

You never would return to where I waited patiently

since you once kissed me tenderly my Stella where did our love go?

Love from Joe.

I've waited in the station as the time slipped by around us

And the Spring changed into Summer Stella where was I to go

As you left me on that Summer day believing that our sweet eternal love

would stay with us and last forever did you know?

I'd be waiting at the station everyday since then.

You told me that we'd always be together Stella.

Where did our love go? Love from Joe.

PRIMITIVE STRIKE

words and music by Steve Larkman

It takes a primitive strike on your soul - to hurt you.

It takes a pretty good swipe at your heart to open up the wounds.

So take us away from the sight of our ancestors,

Help us to stray from the might of our emperors,

Everyone's smiling their faces beguiling

It takes a well hard primitive swipe at your heart to hurt you.

Takes a pretty good smite on your soul - to open up the wounds.

So guide us today to the source of our energies,

Spare us we pray from the swords of our enemies.

Everyone's smiling their faces beguiling

It takes a pretty good swipe at my heart to hurt me.

Takes a primitive strike on my soul to hurt me.

To hurt me

FEEL THE SKY

words and music by Steve Larkman

As the days go by I can feel the sky

If the restless moon is a red balloon.

Then I don't know why or what it is I cry

But we can have some fun

In the rising sun.

As the time slips by and the monsters fly

I can feel no pain no matter who's to blame

There's a world outside where us two lovers hide,

We're gonna have big fun

In the morning sun

As the evening dies I can feel the skies

Still the restless moon is a red balloon.

So as the days go by, I try to keep a simple eye

And the time will come - like the rising sun.

As the days go by baby you and I can see the time will come

Like the rising sun.

A THING FOR MY HEAD

words and music by Steve Larkman

We got a pill if we drink too much.
If we can't walk then we can use a crutch.
We can swim if we're gonna drown, somebody pull us up if we're comin on down.

So if ever one day we try breaking free
I can blame it on you and baby you can run to me.

You know what I just had a thought It's really hard to think when your mind is taut.
And I can't seem to find a thing for my head, I can't seem to find a thing for my head.
You know what, you know what this is wrong, what I've got.

You say if ever one day we try to sail to sea I can count on you and baby you can flee to me.
You know what did you have a thought is it hard to feel when your heart is hot?

'Cos I can't seem to find a thing for my head no I can't seem to find a thing for my head
and I’m out of my mind nothing for my head I can't seem to find a thing for my head.
For my Head.

THE BOOGIE MAN

words and music by Steve Larkman

Here's the boogie man, he's a bugle boogie man.

Nobody gonna judge ya, say the boogie man.

But don't take no sleight of hand from the boogie - man.

Everybody's gotta breathe it, well everybody's gotta breathe in some,

So Spooky

SALTEND SKYLINE

words and music by Steve Larkman.

A life so led is best untold

Now love you give has made it not half so cold

While the heart needs light, you shine alone many times.

The words you say are said so kind

The things you've done have saved me some peace of mind

While the eyes glow dark,

The world seems blacker too

Every night in my bed Saltend Skyline's in my head

All the empty dreams we dreamed have gone

When I wake with the dawn you're the one I've been born

Born to be with, my love. My love.

The love we share is never blind

This love we've saved and struggled so hard to find

Fights the heart inside,

Until/Still the summer sun breaks through

Every night in my bed Saltend Skyline's in my head

With the empty dreams we dreamed all gone

When the sunlight brings the dawn - I see the one I've been born

Born to be with my love.

Every night in my bed Saltend Skyline's in my head

All the empty dreams we dreamed are gone

With the sunlight comes the dawn - you're one I've been born

Born to be with, my love. My love. My love. My love.

(Jack) SAY IT

words and music by Steve Larkman

Doesn't she love you like she used to do.

Lovingly hold you as the one you knew.

Doesn't she squeeze you Johnny oh so tight.

Tenderly enfold you through the pale moonlight.

Surrender say it. Oh say it. Give it up Jack - say it.

Why don't you say it?

But who never lost control - always tried to give it all

How she took your breath away - yea

No matter how far we perceived, she could somehow set you free

With whatever she'd got to say.

Is somebody holding her away from you.

With a huggedy hug as when your love-a was-a new?

Surrender say it. Oh say it. Give up Jack - say it.

Why don't you say it?

But you never lost control about a million years ago

When she took you miles away - yea

Now no matter how far you've become.

Will you try to carry on? What have you got to say?

"Same old faces, empty spaces, silver places we knew

Now tomorrow, same old sorrow, same things born out of you"

Remember she told you "you're mine all mine"

Now would you believe you're talking once upon a time.

Say it. Oh say it. Go on Jack say it. Why don't you say it?

PARADISE LIFE

words and music by Steve Larkman

You never ever stood a chance

No citizen showed up and called you out to dance

Oh what a paradise life, what a paradise life you lead.

We risk a semi-permanent spell.

It weaves the lie that we're doing well, ah baby

Oh what a paradise life, got a paradise life,

What a paradise life to lead.

Somebody tells me that the river flows

Into the Northern valley winter snows

Something tells me that it might have been

Just about the greatest thing She's ever seen

So sometimes in the dead of night - we wake up crying

Oh what a paradise life, what a paradise life

Oh what a paradise life we lead, we're sighing

Oh got a paradise life, what a paradise life

Such a paradise life to lead, we're flying

Oh what a paradise life, it's a paradise life

Oh yes a paradise life we lead, we're dying

Oh what a paradise life, what a paradise life, MMM MMMM

SUNBURST

words and music by Steve Larkman

I have a friend a working guy and what you see is what you get.

He says it's only me I'm passing time I haven't made my million yet

And everyday his gloomy soul is all the rage on the radio.

He's never up is always down within his sound.

'Til the sun comes bursting through the sky

Burning from on high

When we stay forever young forever you'll be mine.

I know someone a lovely girl suffers from too much previous thought.

She thinks it's only her who's passing time is passing quicker than it ought

At last a kind of savagery is centered clean into her soul.

The weariness lives on and on within her mind.

'Til the sun comes bursting through the sky

Burning from on high

Where we stay forever young forever you'll be mine.

Oh my beloved, how I want you to stay cos you brighten my day

We're star struck and Sally couldn't hold us away after we heard you say

I have a friend a spooky guy and what you see is what you get.

He says it's only me I'm passing time I haven't made my trillions yet

And everyday his groovy soul is all the rage on the radio.

When the sun comes bursting through his sky

Burning from on high

When you stay forever young, forever you'll be mine,

Yea forever you'll be mine.

MAKE IT STING

words and music by Steve Larkman

She's a long way from loving you. Such a long way from Peggy Sue.

But it doesn't mean you'll never mean a thing to her

Could you make it sting? Make it sting

She's a long way from seeing blue. Not a long way from Jimmy too.

But it doesn't mean you'll never see her face again

If you can make it sting,

Make it sting, she'll forget about everything

And one day she might say

'Take my hand we'll run away - Hold my hand we'll run away'

If you think that it's impossible to do

'cos she's a long way from being true

Ah well It doesn't mean she'll never fall in love again

She wants to make it sting, Feel it sting and forget about everything

Yet it doesn't mean a thing to her. It doesn't mean a thing to her.

No matter what you sing to her No No

One day she may say 'Take my hand we'll run away,

hold my hand we'll run away'

But it doesn't mean a thing to her.

CHASING RAINBOWS

words and music by Steve Larkman
Everyday I see you walking down the street and I.

What am I to do.

Everyday I see your dress is blowing sweetly in the breeze

What am I to say.

I can’t stop chasing rainbows, I can’t stop chasing rainbows in the sun.

Even giant movie stars living in the Hollywood of old

couldn't find their way.

History shows it's never easy when you're out there on your on your own.

What am I to say?

I can’t stop chasing rainbows,

I'm not the only one though who can’t stop chasing rainbows in the sun.

I can’t stop chasing rainbows,

I'm not the only one though who can’t stop chasing rainbows in the sun.
