IN THE THICK OF IT
Well, we're in
the thick of it
Better get a grip and get it
on, get it on
We're in the thick of it
Better get a
grip and get it on
Better get a
grip and get it on
Better get a
grip and get it on
Get it on, get it on
Sometimes I think I'm
going somewhere
But then I look around
and who's there
It makes you wonder
what's important
Is it really do or die to see
if you can touch the sky?
We're in the thick of it
Better get a
grip and get it on
Better get a
grip and get it on
Better get a
grip and get it on
Get it on, get it on
The world we
live in is so hectic
Sometimes I wonder if it's
worth it
So hold on tight and we'll
just make it
It's such a dog-gone fight
But we won't know
until we try
So hold on tight
and we can make it
So hold on tight
and we can make it
Get it on, get it on,
get it on
We're in the thick of it
Better get a
grip and get it on
Better get a
grip and get it on
Better get a
grip and get it on
Get it on, get it on
WHY WAIT FOR TOMORROW
Verse
The stage is set,
I’m coming through
bout time that this
star was shining,
cos it’s long overdue
nothing to hide,
what’s left to prove
watch me rise with the sun
each morning,
I can do what I
want I wanna do
Chorus
Why Wait For Tomorrow,
now is the time, every day,
every hour,
each moment is mine
Why wait for tomorrow,
now I am free to live the
life I wanna lead
Verse
It’s time to choose,
I hold the key
just trust in the moment,
put the colour in
all my dreams
time to let go,
of all I knew before
won’t let the past
be my future,
life’s too short to just
throw away
Chorus
Why Wait For Tomorrow,
now is the time, every day,
every hour,
each moment is mine
Why wait for tomorrow,
now I am free to live the
life I wanna lead
To live the life
I wanna lead
To live the life
I wanna lead
To live the life
I wanna lead
To live the life
I wanna lead
MY WAY
Verse 1
You and me,
we go back so far
I know how
your mind works
Though you like
to think you're free
Your heart belongs to me
And that’s just how it is
If I let you have your say,
don’t take it the
wrong way
when I sit on the fence
evidently i'm the one,
who knows what's
going on
cos we know it
makes sense
Chorus
If I really want it, boy you
know it got it
You always give
in to my way,
you always give
in to my way
You end up doing i
t my way
That’s the way we kick it,
might as well admit it
You always give
in to my way,
you always give
in to my way
You end up doing
it my way
Verse 2
When we go out at night
We always fuss and fight
Yet we both know
i'm right
Wear the black
dress or the red?
I noted what you said
And choose the
gold one instead
When its time for
us to leave
You’re coming
home with me
No matter what
your boys say
Cos I’m your lady,
I’m your queen
And all that’s inbetween
I make the rules, you obey
Chorus
If I really want it,
boy you know it got it
You always give
in to my way,
you always give
in to my way
You end up doing
it my way
That’s the way we kick it,
might as well admit it
You always give
in to my way,
you always give
in to my way
You end up doing
it my way
EASY COME, EASY GO
Easy come and easy go
You got to let your
life flow
Easy come and easy go
You got to let your
life flow
Don’t you know
We’re gonna let it go
PAGE 04
WHERE THE LIGHTS
MEET THE MUSIC
Verse 1
Don't need no one to coach
from the sidelines
We want players
on the field
If you're ready to
walk on the wild side
Ain't no time for
standing still
Throw your pressures off
your shoulders now
S'ain't the season for
regrets (jam)
Cause we're about to s
how you how
To live a night you
won't forget
If you like what you find
In the groove then
Let it show
Let it show
If you like what you find
In the groove then
Let it show
Let it show
Verse 2
If you're looking
for a taste
of the good life
Get your fix today
Lift your glass, celebrate,
have a good time
cast your worries away
We'll be headed on this
journey together
relax and don't be scared
Stay a while you'll see
It's so much better when
you're here
Vamp
Everything you want
You want
Prechorus
Just get on board
and you will find
This ain't no ordinary ride
Prechorus
Just get on board
and you will find
This ain't no ordinary ride
THE SECRET LIFE OF US
Verse 1
I was in need of
some affection,
then you came my way,
you threw some love
in my direction,
I hope its here to stay,
so many eyes are
watching you,
that’s just the way it is,
this thing we’ve got,
its not to share
all I need to feel
from you is love
Chorus
Spend your nights
with the lights
and the music
where the lights
meet the music
and let it go
let it go
Chorus
Spend your nights
with the lights
and the music
where the lights
meet the music
and let it go
let it go
Chorus
In public you’re a star,
people know who you are
But they don’t know about
The Secret Life of Us,
You always smile at me,
I blush but they don’t see
That’s how it’s meant to be,
The Secret Life of Us
The Secret Life of Us,
The Secret Life of Us,
The Secret Life of Us,
The Secret Life of Us
Verse 2
I wake up early
in the morning,
to find that you’re
not there
What kind of spell have you
been weaving, your face
is everywhere
bright lights and fame,
they know your name
but not the way I do,
no-one's aware of
our affair
they don’t need to know
about our love
Chorus
In public you’re a star,
people who you are
But they don’t know about
The Secret Life of Us,
You always smile at me,
I blush but they don’t see
That’s how it’s meant to be,
The Secret Life of Us
The Secret Life of Us,
The Secret Life of Us,
The Secret Life of Us,
The Secret Life of Us
They don’t know about
The Secret Life of Us,
They don’t know about
The Secret Life of Us,
They don’t know about
The Secret Life of Us,
They don’t know about
The Secret Life of Us,
CAUGHT
IN THE MOMENT
Verse 1
Dream on dreamer, I’ll
show you the way
Say no holding back,
I’m finding
the words we never
got to say
Dream on dreamer, say
don’t be afraid,
just keep on believing
Were two souls belong
light will never fade
Ohhh we’ve got it all
worked out,
ohhh you know it’s
all around
Chorus 1
We got caught in
the moment,
caught in the heat
For a moment to love,
just keep holding me
We got caught in
the moment,
caught in our dreams
For a moment to love,
just keep holding me
Verse 2
Dream on dreamer,
we’ve got nothing to lose,
it’s our chance to escape,
cos I see a window we
both can climb through
Dream on dreamer, they
can't melt us away
Say all you belong,
belong in a world
that nobody can break
Ohhh we’ve got it all
worked out,
ohhh you know it’s
all around
Chorus
We got caught in
the moment,
caught in the heat
For a moment to love,
PAGE 05
just keep holding me
We got caught in
the moment,
caught in our dreams
For a moment to love,
just keep holding me
TRUST ME
No-one has to play
ordinarily young games
No-one is too wise
Boy you stare with a
weak guise
I want you to walk with me
Roam and become at ease
Trust me, trust me I care
Trust me, trust me I care
No-one has to fight
Or would never be unkind
No-one has to change
Boy you stare with a
weak gaze
I want you to run with me
All that we got we need
Trust me, trust me I care
Trust me, trust me I care
Share in the world with me
Cos everything will
be will be
Chances are all
that we need
to take it to the top
Would you close your eyes,
let life be the ride or
would you stop
Feel free to walk with me
Feel free to run with me
Feel free to go with me,
feel free
Would you let it go,
lose control,
forget about you,
forget about me
Trust me, trust me I care
Trust me, trust me I care
TAKE IT TO THE TOP
Oooh, did you take
it to the top
Oooh, did you take
it to the top
If you had the chance
to make it,
to take it to the top
Would you close your eyes,
let life be the ride or
would you stop
Would you take
it to the top
Or if it feels good,
would you take
it to the top
If you had one chance to
make it,
Would you let it go,
lose control,
forget about you,
forget about me
would you take it
to the top
if it feels good, oooh,
would you take it
to the top
baby, can you do it
or if it feels good,
would you take it
to the top
or if it feels good,
would you take it
to the top
If you had one chance
would you take it
to the top
Would you let it go,
lose control,
forget about you,
forget about me
Would you let it go,
lose control,
forget about you,
forget about me
would you let it go
would you let it go
would you let it go
would you let it go
DEFINITION
OF LOVE
Verse 1
When I’m lying in the
bed with you
3 o’clock in the morning,
tired and restless
just not sleeping and its
keeping you awake
but you just say, that’s ok
I feel much better
for it baby
Then you wrap me
in your arms
and I slowly drift away,
slowly drift away
You know I’d do
the same for you
Chorus
a true definition of love
that’s what you get
from me
don't expect less
from me
true definition of love
bring out the best in me,
just how its
meant to be
Verse 2
when you get back
from lousy day
and you just don’t
feel like talking
I let you wind down
cos when you’re
ready you’ll be
sharing it all with me
cos anyway, that’s ok
i do what i can to
make you better
when I put my arms
around ya
your problems are
to melt away
I feel them melt away
I know you’d do
the same for me
Chorus
A true definition of love
That’s what I get from you
I know I can count on you
A true definition of love
Bring out the best in me,
just how it’s meant to be
LOVE
ONE ANOTHER
This gift of love is for you
And you and you and you
Spread love,
its all we have
All we got to do in
life is love one another
All we got to do in
life is make
each other happy
All we got to do in
life is care for
one another
All we got to do in
life is make
each other happy
All we got to do in
life is love one another
All we got to do in
life is make
each other happy
