‘I See Red’ Lyrics

[Chorus]
When my baby’s walking down the street
I see red, I see red, I see red.
How could someone wicked walk around free
I see red, I see red, I see red.
I see red, I see red (red!), I see red.

I respect your wishes
You gave me such precious hours
What to do without you.
Squeezed me out of your life
Down the drain like molten toothpaste
I feel used and spat out.
Poor old me

[Chorus]

I’m fed up with crying
My despair is dying,
Turning into rage, day by day
Green before you met me
In the pink when you let me love you
I was blue when you let me down
Black and Blue

[Chorus]
Go!

I see red, I see red, I see red…

‘I Got You’ Lyrics

I got you – that’s all I want
I won’t forget – that’s a whole lot
I don’t go out – not now that you’re in
Sometimes we shout – but that’s no problem

I don’t know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I’m not lyin’

Look at you – you’re a pageant
You’re everything – that I’ve imagined
Somethings wrong – I feel uneasy
You show me – tell me you’re not teasin’

I don’t know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I’m not lyin’
I don’t know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, can you tell me you’re not lyin’

There’s no doubt – not when I’m with you
When I’m without – I stay in my room
Where do you go – I get no answer
You’re always out – it gets on my nerves

I don’t know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I’m not lying
(But) I don’t know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, can you tell me you’re not lyin’
I don’t know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I’m not lying

‘Late Last Night’ Lyrics

‘One Step Ahead’ Lyrics

One step ahead of you
stay in motion, keep an open mind
Love is a race won by two
Your emotion, my solitude
If I stop I could lose my head
So I’m losing you instead
Either way I’m confused
You slow me down, what can I do?
There’s one particular way I have to choose

One step ahead of you
Always someone makes it hard to move
She says, Boy I want you to stay
But I save it all for another day
If I stop I could lose my head
But I’m ready for romance
Either way I’m confused
I don’t know what I’m s’posed to do
I can only stay
One step ahead of you

Da,da,da,da,da
Da,da,da,da
Da,da,da,da
Da,da,da,dum

Stop, I confess sometimes
I don’t know where I’m going
Part of me stays with you,
I’m slowing down, what can I do
It’s hard to stay one step ahead of you
(Uh huh)

One step ahead of you
Time is running out
Catching up with you
One step ahead of you
When I hold you close
Can I really lose?
One step ahead
Only one step ahead
She’s one step ahead of you

‘I Hope I Never’ Lyrics

I fall apart when your around
When you’re here, I’m nowhere
I can’t pretend that I’m not down
I show it I know it
I’ve been a fool – more than once, more than twice
I’m gonna move to a new town where the people are nice

I hope I never, I hope I never have to sigh again
I hope I never, I hope I never have to cry again
I still want to beam and smile yah
Happiness is back in style yeah
I hope I never, I hope I never have to see you again
Again, oh oh oh oh

It should be possible I know
To see you without stress
But I can see I’ll have to go
I’m changing my address
My urge to cry I have failed to conceal
Life – it’s no fun when your hunted by the things that you feel

I hope I never, I hope I never have to sigh again
I hope I never, I hope I never have to cry again
I’m for living while you can
I’m an optimistic man
I hope I never, I hope I never have to see you again
Again, oh oh oh oh…

I hope I never
I hope I never
I hope I never, never, never…

I hope I never, I hope I never have to see you again

Again.

‘Pioneer’ Lyrics

‘Six Months In A Leaky Boat’ Lyrics

When I was a young boy
I wanted to sail around the world
That’s the life for me, living on the sea
Spirit of a sailor, circumnavigates the globe
The lust of a pioneer, will acknowledge
No frontier
I remember you by, thunderclap in the sky
Lightning flash, tempers flare,
’round the horn if you dare
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Lucky just to keep afloat

Aotearoa, rugged individual
Glisten like a pearl
At the bottom of the world
The tyranny of distance
Didn’t stop the cavalier
So why should it stop me
I’ll conquer and stay free
Ah c’mon all you lads
Let’s forget and forgive
There’s a world to explore
Tales to tell back on shore
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Six months in a leaky boat

Ship-wrecked love can be cruel
Don’t be fooled by her kind
There’s a wind in my sails
Will protect and prevail
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Nothing to it leaky boat.

‘My Mistake’ Lyrics

I went out to see if I could fall in love again,
That was my mistake.
That was my mistake.
I went out to see if I could raise a laugh again
That was my mistake.
That was my mistake.

When all I needed was a friend,
To make me stop and think again,
Pull me up and pull me through,
Tally ho, your health my dear.

I went out to see if I could live for a couple of days.
That was my mistake.
That was my mistake.
One by one I counted all those happiest of days.
Yeah, That was my mistake.
Why, That was my mistake.

Whats gone is gone, sweet memories,
Dont let them get the best of me,
No more lost in history,
No more lost for love.

When all I needed was a friend,
To make me stop and think again,
The call to arms is loud and clear,
Tally ho, your health my dear.

I went out to see if I could fall in love again,
That was my mistake.
Why, That was my mistake.
One by one I counted all those happiest of days
That was my mistake.
That was my mistake.
That was my mistake.
That was my mistake.

‘Without A Doubt’ Lyrics

Live for the day,
When I’m left here on my own,
With noone to betray,
It’s no wonder I prefer be a castaway
Who finds a friendly shore.

When you have a friend,
Then you have yourself a foe.
My right to defend,
Yours to scatter in one blow,
My defences,
Im defenceless.

Here in the dark,
I guess a few fuses have blown.
The bites back in the bark,
And the gardens overgrown.
Im in a right mess,
There’s a tightness in my heart.

Like a fly in the ointment,
Love makes my flesh creep.
Love gets me hot and bothered,
It’s just a reward I cant reap.
Lying alone on the lawn babe,
Hot sun overhead,
Waiting for a breath of inspiration
To carry me away instead.

Without a doubt,
Without a doubt.

Working
For precious little,
Playing,
The second fiddle.

Ive been living on broken promises,
Living on guarentees,
Sometimes at night when the moon is bright,
You can see me down on my knees,
Im looking for home truthes,
An offer I cant refuse
A leap in the dark,
A touch and go,
I’ve got nothing left to lose?

Without a doubt,
Without a doubt.

I’m learning,
Back where I started,
I’m learning,
I’m broken hearted,

But without a doubt,
Without a doubt.

I’m working
For precious little,
I’m playing,
The second fiddle

Without a doubt,
Without a doubt.

I’m learning,
Back where I started
I’m learning,
Im broken hearted,

But without a doubt,
Without a doubt.

Live for the day
Whem I’m left here on my own
With noone to betray
Its no wonder prefer to be a castaway
Who finds a friendly shore

Washed up on rocks,
In the calm after the storm,
I can run a amock,
And every days a high-day,
A holiday, my hideaway,
Ive got no reason left to stay.
