ON MY WAY UP (Live In Paris, June'98)

(May)

Hey
I'm on my way up
Can't put me down
Business is tough
I ain't gonna get pushed around
I'm on my way
Gonna take this town
It's gonna be mine all mine, it's my time
I'm on my way (on my way up)
Straight to the top (I'm telling myself)
Oh I'm telling myself (I'm totally sussed)
I'm putting my name around
On my way up
(On my way up) Gonna get a lot of rhythm
Got positivism to give 'em

I'm on my way through
Where I'm going to
You wouldn't believe
But I'll make it - I'm thinking of telling you
I'm on a roll
Gonna have it all
It's gonna be fine so fine, baby all the time
I'm in control (on my way up)
I'm mighty bold (I'm telling myself)
I'm looking good (I'm totally sussed)
I'm quitting the neighbourhood
On my way up (yes I am)
(On my way up) Gonna get right with them
Got all of my life left for living

Nobody gonna tell me no
Nobody gonna stop me so
Everybody gonna see me grow
Nobody gonna hold me down
Gotta get to be better place
Gotta wake up and see your face
Gotta hold on
Move on
Go through that wall

It's my life or it's nothing
Our life or it's nothing at all

I'm on my way up, yeah
Better come with me, lets go

I'm on my way (on my way up)
Yeah, gonna get it right (I'm telling myself)
Oh I'm telling myself (I'm totally sussed)
Gonna make it this time around
On my way up

(On my way up) gotta get that rhythm baby
(On my way up) gonna start that rhythm baby
(On my way up)
Got all of my sights set on heaven

Ain't no stopping me now...

WHY DON'T WE TRY AGAIN

(May)

After the storm there's the dead of night
It seems there's no way back for me
So little comfort in my little bed
To know
That it had to be

And now I miss you in so many ways
You know I miss you for so many
Lonely days
Oh...
Why don't we try again

In the dark there's a desert flower
It blooms when no-one sees
Our love was stronger than history
Our love will never cease to be
How can I live with you as a memory
You hold
The best part of me - oh -

And now I miss you in so many ways
You know I miss you for so many
Lonely days
Oh...
Why don't we try again

No use of me waiting by the telephone
You're gone
You ain't gonna ring

And now I miss you in so many ways
You know I miss you for so many
Lonely lonely days and nights
I know you miss me for so many
Lonely days
Oh...
Why don't we try again
Oh...
Why don't we try again

MAYBE BABY

(Norman Petty, Charles Hardin)

Maybe baby
I'll have you
Maybe Baby
You'll be true
Maybe Baby
I'll have you tor me

It's fuhny honey
You don't care

You never listen
To my prayer
Maybe Baby
You will love me some day

Well you are the one that
Makes me glad
Any other one that
Makes me sad
And when some day
You want me
Well I'll be there
Wait and see...

Maybe Baby
I'll have you
Maybe Baby
You'll be true
Maybe Baby
I'll have you lor me

BUSINESS (USA Radio Mix Uncut)

(May)

Don't judge me mama
Don't tell me what I've done wrong
It's a hard business
It's a hard business
To make it on your own

Don't judge me papa
If I can't handle the things in my head
'Cos It's a hard business
Such a hard business
Walking on the edge

I've got nothing, no one in my life
So how can I lose again
Got my feet in muddy water
But I'm gonna find that road again

So I'll be taking care of business
'Cos I know what I'm looking for
If been workin every hour god gives to man
But I still see the same closed door

I got nothing but trouble in my life
But I feel I got a lot to give
Every day I build a new world
But I've had no one to build it with
I've been looking for a woman to share my hopes
And I know I ain't a patch on you
And I've been thinking a woman's god's gift to man
Are you thinkin the same way too?

So don't leave me mama
Don't make me go on alone
'Cos it's a hard business
Yes it's a hard business
Ooh

So don't leave me papa
And my believe in myself is gone
'Cos it's a hard business
Such a hard business
Tell me it's a hard business
Being on my own

ANOTHER WORLD

(May)

In another world
Under another sky
I see another story waiting to be told
And another you
Wakes up with another me
For that's the way we've come to be
In another world

In a different place
Way across time and space
A door is open wide
Drawn to a different light
Maybe we'll step inside

In another world
We can show we care
You can be sure I'm waiting there
In another world

Oooh yeah
When the dies were cast
They laid a crazy path
We follow to our graves
But I know in a different world
We journey a different way

So we live
But life isn't what it seems
We're only living in our dreams
In another world

You can believe I'll meet you here
In another world

IT'S ONLY MAKE BELIEVE

(Conway Twitty, Jack Nance)

People see us everywhere
They Ihink you really care
But myself I can't deceive
I know It's only make believe

My one and only prayer
Is that some day you'll care
My hopes my dreams come true
My one and only you
No-one will ever know
How much I love you so
My only prayer will be
Some day you'll care for me
But it's only make-believe

My hopes my dreams come true
My life I'd give tor you
My heart, a wedding ring
My all, my everything
My heart I can't control
You rule my very soul
My only prayer will be
Some day you'll care for me
But it's only make-believe

My one and only prayer
Is that some day you'll care
My hopes my dreams come true
My one and only you
No-one will ever know
How much I love you so
My prayers
My hopes
My schemes
You are my every dream
But it's only make-believe

HAMMER TO FALL (Live In Paris, June'98)

(May)

Here we stand or here we fall
History won't care at all
Make the bed light the light
Lady Mercy won't be home tonight

You don't waste no time at all
Don't hear the bell but you answer the call
It comes to you as to us all
We're just waiting
For the hammer to fall

Oh every night and every day
A little piece of you is falling away
But lift your face the Western Way
Build your muscles as your body decays

Toe your line and play their game
Let the anaesthetic cover it all
'Til one day they call your name
You know it's time for the hammer to fall

Rich or poor or famous tor
Your truth it's all the same

Lock your door but rain is pouring
Through your window pane

Baby now your struggle's all vain

For we who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
We just wanna scream it louder and louder

What the hell we fighting for?
Just surrender and it won't hurt at all
You've just got time to say your prayers
While you're waiting for the hammer to fall
