‘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.

‘History Never Repeats’ Lyrics

[Chorus]
History never repeats
I tell myself before I go to sleep
Don’t say the words you might regret
I’ve lost before you know I can’t forget

There was a girl I used to know
She dealt my love a savage blow
I was so young, too blind to see
But anyway that’s history

I say

[Chorus]

You say I always played the fool
Well I can’t go on, if that’s the rule
Better to jump than hesitate
I need a change and I can’t wait

[Chorus 2]
History never repeats
I tell myself before I go to sleep
And there’s a light shining in the dark
Leading me on towards a change of heart (ah-ar)

History never repeats, history never repeats

Deep in the night it’s all so clear
I lie awake with great ideas
Lurking about in no-man’s land
I think at last I understand

[Chorus 2]

Never repeats!…
Hey…. Hey….
Never repeats!

And I say, that’s all
Remember til the next time

Thank you!

Won’t you stay, stay a while with my own one
one more day, one more day with my own ones
this old world, is so cold, don’t care nothing for your soul you share with your own ones…

Haul away, haul away, heave away, haul away, haul away, heave away

‘Charlie’ Lyrics

Wake up, Charlie, rise and shine.
Pour the tea, I’ll draw the blinds,
Sunlight halo, you look wonderful,
Darling, Charlie, pale and deathly still,
For heavens shake wake up Charlie.

Was a full moon last night, I was full of bravado.
Dead drunk, dead sure one of us had to go.
Raised my hand in anger, hurt you again.
Dust to dust and fire to ashes, you can
Thank me for nothing now, Charlie.

I was eaten up with jealousy,
Bones to pick and rumours to feed,
How my heart bleeds, loves a big mistake,
Mercy, Charley, oh for pity’s sake,
Forgive me, speak to me, Charlie.

Wake up, Charley, rise and shine.
Pour the tea, I’ll draw the blinds,
Sunlight halo, you look wonderful,
Darling, Charley, pale and deathly still,
For heavens shake wake up Charlie.

‘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
