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.

DON’T LET ME GO (Reveaux/Newell)
I can see you have stars in your eyes for a love that is new

And I can see you believe what you say when you say we are through.

What of me, am I yesterday’s dream that is over today?

I don’t know what will come of my life if you send me away.

Don’t let me go, I’ll lose my way without you by my side.

Don’t let me go, let me stay, let me stay oh my love let me stay.

I recall all the worlds that were ours from the day we met.

After all when you love like I love could you ever forget?

Maybe I should be stronger than this

I should leave you and then

spend my life longing just for your arms to embrace me again.

Don’t let me go, I’ll lose my way without you by my side.

Don’t let me go, let me stay, let me stay oh my love let me stay.

Don’t let me go, I’ll lose my heart without you by my side.

Don’t let me go, let me stay oh let me stay. Oh my love let me stay.

Oh oh my love let me stay. Let me stay.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED

words and music by Steve Larkman.

Have you ever been weak have you ever been strong,

Have you ever been right have you ever done wrong?

Have you ever been blue well you know I have too, when I didn’t love you.

Whatever I do, whatever I say tomorrow or another day

I know that it’s true I’ll always be blue if not for you.

Was it love you left behind all those years ago, did you really change your mind,

did you really wanna let go?

Wherever I go, wherever I stay I never let love get out of my way,

I know that it’s true I’ll always be blue if not for you.

Whatever I’d do I’d always be blue but times have changed.

Have you ever been blue well you know I have too but times have changed.

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.

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.

THIN WHITE DOVE
words and music by Steve Larkman.

I got my baby and she’s way outta sight
And she calls me Stacy in the middle of the night
So super lady make me feel so fine,
She told Mr. Jones she was mine, mine, mine

Yeah I, I’m gonna be your man. I, wanna be your man

And when my baby dances in the street
She’s got sixteen rivers she’s got flying feet
No I’m not talking ‘bout a thin white dove,
I’m making a claim for love.

Cos I, I’m gonna be your man. Yes I, I’mgonna be your man,

When my baby dances in the street she’s got a sunset smile
And when she’s looking good enough to eat she’s got a sunset smile
When my baby dances in the street she’s got a sunset smile
She’s got a sunset smile

I got my baby and she’s way outta sight
And she calls me Stacy in the middle of the night
No I’m not talking ‘bout a thin white dove
I’m making my claim for love

Ha na na I’m gonna be your man, Cos I wanna be your man,
Yes I, I wanna be your man, I wanna be your man,
Yes, I be your man, Yeah I, I’m gonna be your man, I’m gonna be your man.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE?

words and music by Steve Larkman

What have you got to lose. maybe the heart and soul that made you sing the blues?

What have you got to lose?

'Cos you can fly far away to the land of yesterday.

And you can spread your angel wings, deep inside the heart that sings

Will hurt you so.

But what have you got to lose, what have you got to lose?

What have you got to lose, maybe a song and dance a cradleful of fools?

But after all if you wanna go what will love ever know?

You could spread your tiny wings and deep inside the heart that sings.

Will hurt you so.

But what have you got to lose? What have you got to lose?

What have you got to lose?

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.

BLUE FOR YOU
words and music by Steve Larkman.

Broken heart listening to the radio, pain in the chest everywhere she goes
And every time she tries to tell him goodbye,
He takes her in his arms and says “I’d rather die”
And then all her joy, all her pain coming up around now to hurt her again.
Into the night, on through the day,
She can’t forget the words that her lover would say

He’d say “Call me your baby I will call you my love
I’ll tell you all the things I’ve been dreaming of
And then hug me and kiss me Just like lovers oughtta do
Baby if you ever leave me I’ll be blue for you.”

Married in a church with the flowers in her hands
Looking up with hazy eyes to say “I do” to her man
When they’ve done this, it’s sealed with a kiss.
She can’t think of anything she’s gonna miss
‘Cos he made her an offer she couldn’t refuse
No more sorrow for a hatful of blues. So when they get home, when they’re alone,
He just wanna to hear those words she sighs

She sighs “Call me your baby I will call you my love
Now tell me all the things you’ve been dreaming of
And I’ll hug you and kiss you just like lovers always do
Baby if you ever leave me I’ll be blue for you.”

When the time came for them to part they didn’t feel good no they didn’t feel smart.
They didn’t feel as though they’d learned something new,
They couldn’t see what good trying again was gonna do

Just two broken hearts listen to the radio. Pains in the chest everywhere they go
But next time they fall, next time they try, there ‘aint gonna be any long goodbye

It’s just “So long now baby, yeah goodbye my love,
We had all the things we’d been dreaming of
And we held each other tightly, just like lovers always do
Baby the party’s over, I am blue for you.”

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.

THE TASTE OF YOUR KISS

words and music by Steve Larkman
It’s not the shine of the rubies that I saw on your skin,
it’s not the glowing or the knowing that you come from within,
it’s not your flashing eyes that I’m gonna miss no no nothing like this.

It’s not the way that the clouds rush away from your crown
it’s not the swirling and the twirling of the dress that we found,
I don’t care for the colours of the pictures you dis.it aint nothing like this.
It’s the taste of your kiss.

It’s not the knowing that you’re mine or the forgetting you’re gone
it’s not the way that you mothered oh I fathered your son.

It’s not the playing in the park or the looking in schools
it’s the time of the year. It’s the time of the year,
it’s the taste of your kiss.

It’s not the shine of the rubies that I saw on your skin
it’s not the glowing or the knowing that you come from within,
it’s not your flashing eyes that I’m gonna miss
no no nothing like this.
It’s the taste of your kiss.

BROKEN

words and music by Steve Larkman
My golden dreams have flown away and left me broken on the shore.
My golden dreams are blown away and now I’m broken like before.

If you change your mind I’ll be waiting if you take your time, I’ll be scared ‘cos I don’t wanna hurt anymore.

There’s only love did someone say can leave you broken on the shore and memories of yesterday are left unspoken like before.

It’s a lonesome game that we’re playing and despite my fame I’ll be scared ‘cos I don’t wanna hurt anymore.

Under the Waterfront you’d like to meet your lover, out on the Waterfront you’d like to see my lover.

These golden dreams are flown away and left me broken on the shore. I found the words to make you stay but you’re not listening anymore.

If you read my mind I’m a stayer and the things you’ll find make you scared ‘cos you don’t want to hurt anymore.

IF SHE TELLS ME TODAY

words and music by Steve Larkman.
He doesn’t really know you baby, cannot really show you at all.
It’s a never-ending story to get you in my dreams
in the words of other lovers I’ve cut to other scenes.
I wake up in the morning and slave into the night, I couldn’t help but stay I couldn’t help but try.

I heard her talking to her lover and she talking to the crowd,
I was watching from the window and I heard her voice aloud
and the words they ran together and they really caused me pain
nd I never will recover if she tells me today.

He doesn’t really know you baby cannot really show you at all.
There’s a never-ending circle and it spins your heart around it takes you when you’re flying and it cuts you when you’re down.
I woke up in the morning and stormed into the night
she wanted to be faithful she wanted to be right.

And I watched her go to work and I watched her go to bed
and I loved the things she showed me and I loved the things she said
but the love we had together couldn’t fight against the fame and I never will recover if she tells me today.

If she tells me today.

ROCKIN’ UP THE WORLD

words and music by Steve Larkman

She’s waiting for the superball to bounce up in the sky,
we’re looking for our heroes we like to see them cry,
we’re working on the werewithal to reason out our lives.
All the same the time slithers by.

I wanna know the raindrops are going from my heart, I wanna know when the love affair will start. I’m trying to see my way to drive across the sea baby come with me, come to me.

Time slithers by and it’s rockin’ up the world. Time’s always been rockin’ up the world.

Can’t be more than we can be, can’t see more than we see.
Baby hold me tight.

Time slithers by and it’s Rockin’ up the world, times always been Rockin’ up the world.
Can’t be more than we can be, can’t see more than we can see, can’t see more than we can see.

Up the world.

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.

LOVE IS A CRAZY THING

words and music by Steve Larkman
Love is a crazy thing make you high make you sing.
The heart is a restless sea rescue you and maybe rescue me.

How does it feel to be so lonely every night?
Maybe the stars can tell me if everything’s alright .

How does it feel when you hold me tight?

Love is a crazy thing make you high make you sing,
The heart is a restless sea rescue you and maybe rescue me.

Do you know how it is to be so lonely every night?

Were you surprised when he said “everything’s alright,

oh but how does it feel when you hold me tight?”

Love is a crazy thing make you high make you sing,
the heart is a restless sea rescue you rescue me baby.
Love is a crazy thing.
Love is a crazy thing. Love is a crazy thing.
Rescue me.
