Summer's here, the skies are clear And I love it here, yes, I do There we were, hearts unsure On Shaftsbury Avenue You held me Oh you held me (chorus) I see the sunshine in your eyes It's in the way you hold me oh so tight A kind of love I never felt before Oh please don't ever, ever let me go Oh please don't ever leave me here alone A kind of love I never felt before Find a way to embrace Two lovers on the run Take me back to the place You said to me I'm the one You said to me God, give us salvation We did him wrong We did him wrong We'll take our redemption And prove them wrong We'll prove them wrong

What I'd do just to take you in You know I'll take you Somewhere deep within You know I'd die for you Yeah I'd die for you Close my eyes But I can't escape this feeling Your voice is so gentle and appealing (chorus) This fire takes me higher A bit of desire That I just can't deny Oh won't you come a little bit closer And be mine? Heavenly You draw my puckered lips So slowly Yeah you smother me within (chorus) And say you'll be mine For all time We're gonna take it slower And last a little bit longer I tried to listen Yeah, I tried to reason But this feeling just won't go away You draw me in so close You burn my skin But still I turn to you all night and day Turn my back, I can't Stop resisting Can't deny this love Everlasting Light this love Divine constellation Mind my heart This twisted attraction Taste your sweet release On my fingers Rest my soul but leave me so breathless God, forgive But please don't deny this So come on, shine on Shine all your love upon us

Step inside, don't be shy Blow your mind, see the flowers in the sunshine You know it could be so fine Oh yeah it'll be just fine Chelsea girls with their curls Dolly birds in their herds And their miniskirts You know those things never hurt Oh yeah they never ever hurt (chorus) Welcome to the flower show Yeah it'll be riot Don't touch a thing And it will be just fine Welcome to the flower show Yeah it'll be a blast The pollen breeze in your eyes Girls and boys with their toys Little versions of their daddies' precious Rolls-Royce If you haven't one, it doesn't matter But you know you really ought to So come on in, take it in See the colours and the flowers of the universe Just remember where you saw it first Oh yeah you saw it here first And I know you think you're high society But you aren't, honey

Laugh when I'm down Whine when I make a sound When I'm near you When I need you Yeah that's when you're furthest away What would it take to make you stay? There's someone, no, there's no one Well it seems like everyone They got to see you yesterday Oh yeah Oh yeah Well you turn when I talk Run when I walk Rise when I fall Burn when I shiver Smile when I frown Go when I come around Yeah you twist when I shout In when I'm out There when I'm here Why do I bother?

Flow 05:47
Months and months and months I wonder Will this soul be damned forever How's your day? It could be better If you'd care to fix another Burn the bitch, and let it simmer Watch it glisten, watch it shimmer Feel the magic flow a river Wash away the cold and shiver Months and months and months I wonder Will this soul be damned to suffer Fumes of this addiction linger Every breath, it takes you further down Go down (chorus) So turn your back on your soul And push it through your veins Your back on the world And take away the pain But it won't go away No, it won't go away Months and months and months I wonder Will this soul be damned forever How's your day? It could be better If you'd care to fix another Months and months and months I wonder Will this soul be damned to suffer Fumes of this addiction linger Every breath, it takes you further down Go down

She's out with her friends Oh she's out with her men At the disco And she's got seven missed calls Her frantic mom's trying to reach her Cos her little boy's got a bump All he needs is his mom But she's not there No, she's never there (chorus) Oh Siti Please believe me This isn't ordinary Siti in the city It's such a pity All those cigarettes All those drinks in bed Oh you're putting words in his head Oh his little head is fraught with confusion Can't tell the wrong from the right And the day from the night Cos you're never in sight You say you care But you really don't care Oh Siti, please believe me This isn't ordinary Oh won't you listen and please go on home? Oh Siti, please believe me This isn't ordinary Your baby needs you now, please go on home

There's something about you I adore Cos you are the one that I keep wanting more and more (chorus) Hopelessly, endlessly, honestly Hopelessly, endlessly, possibly So come on, please tell me your name again The hours that I spent in your eyes This feeling in my pants, I just can't disguise, oh my No, I won't forget again Cos you were my only friend (Between us)
