Boogieland 03:23
Think I know the way to go I need a place to start 'Cause I've made music and I've made love and music won't break your heart Boogieland I'm goin' to Boogieland Boogieland I'm goin' down to Boogieland Now I'm on the road again An upright black and white ride 88 straight down 66 Everybody jump inside We're goin' to Boogieland Boogieland Boogieland Got to get to Boogieland Now if I ever get there I'm gonna climb right back up on the ball For the never-ending neon nights I'd fly or drive or run or walk or crawl on back to Boogieland I'm goin' to Boogieland I'm goin' down to Boogieland Got to get to Boogieland...

Crossroad 03:47
Standin' at the crossroad lookin' left and right That way's a struggle This way there's going to be a fight Lookin' over my shoulder I've still got debts to pay But I got to move forward I don't want to go back that way Crossroad Crossroad Crossroad Standin' at the crossroad Comin' back from the time that was But I got to take the first step 'cause it's six o' one, half a dozen of the other Fifty-fifty chance The difference is the same I choose alone and no one is to blame Standin' at the crossroad Got my map clutched tight in my hand It tells me all I need to know to make it to the promised land But I’ve got to be mobile though it may seem sad somehow when it's round and down to you and me when I'm the one who counts right now Crossroad Crossroad Crossroad Standin' at the crossroad At the crossroad Crossroad Can't turn back (Dave Panting)

FOR GARY ROBBINS In a world of changes we live and so the tide will turn and the cold wind blow Friends and lovers that we've come to know so swiftly have departed But I've lived to learn that this much is true: The days we have are a precious few and we all become the things we do I will not be downhearted Changes come and change has come again with the rising sun and the passing of a friend Through the wiles of nature and the hand of fate we finish what we started You take your chances and you leave behind the near dearly departed World of wonders on the silver screen on a starry night in a childhood dream No use dwelling on what might have been or otherwise pretending Claiming as a victim of circumstance on a wayward trek in a loner's trance You can't give living a second glance waiting for the ending Changes come and change has come again with the rising sun and the passing of a friend We live the mystery right to the end to see if we've been outsmarted Or if hope lies waiting on the other side for the near dearly departed The near dearly departed (Geoff Panting)

You will always have my love You will always have my love You have my constant dedication My feelings for you, you may not be aware of You have been my inspiration and you will always have my love We may face indecision Situations that we have no control of Let division come between us but you will always have my love I am an ember in the ashes of your fire of hope Inside darkness, inside doubt And when you're sinking underneath a tide of tears remember: I will not burn out You will always have my love You will always have my love You will always have my love Everlasting adoration This is something that you can be certain of Just as surely as the sunrise in the mornin' girl You will always have my love Just as surely as the sunrise in the mornin' girl You will always have my love You will always have my love You will always have my love (Dave Panting)

get real nervous on the roundabout One way in and no way out I've gotta make it on time (make it on time) Careful steppin' off of that merry-go-round First step's a doosey, it's a long way down I've gotta make it on time (make it on time) I know one word, the word is yes That should keep me safe I guess I've got to make it on time (make it on time) I get real nervous when there are no walls I've got to make it on time (make it on time) Live in fear of that big free fall I've gotta make it on time (make it on time) A change of scene, I wish I could Make it on time, make it on time I smell the evil in the neighbourhood I've gotta make it on time Dog eat dog, push come to shove No time for thinkin’, much less for love I've gotta make it on time (make it on time) Make it on time … (Geoff Panting)

Some People 04:22
Some people think they've got time to kill Some people think they've got it goin' Some people think they've got a way with the will Some people got a line worth towin' Beating all the raps, avoiding all the traps Some people got that magic potion They've got the way to be, they're making history Some people get that big promotion Read that headline, pass that test Let's bring on our special guest In confusion feelin' vexed Learn the password, what comes next? Uptown Downtown Hurry up! Slow down! Think real quick and win that showdown You've been beaten to the punch Arevederchi Let's do lunch Well, Some people Some people Some people think they've got it all sewn up Some people have no cause to doubt it Some people claim to know the ways of love Some people learn to live without it Leave me be Don't say no to me I'll be free momentarily Livin' on the need to know Up above and down below Forward! Backward! Forward! Halt! Take it with a grain of salt Ways and means and plans and schemes Livin' out there Land of dreams Grown accustomed to your station Learn to live on information Some people Some people Some people say it's gettin' better all the time Some people really want to go there Some people think there's nothin' better on your mind Some people think you're goin' nowhere, so there! Some people Some people (Geoff Panting)

All I want to do is talk to you and get a line of reference on the state of our affair Wake up to an empty room The silence draws me in, and plays with my head Paint a portrait of a poor boy in a gilded palace of loneliness You get a pretty fair picture of your lover man and woman he's in an awful mess Where would I be without your lovin' arms around to hold me close Nothing'll take the place of time with you when you're so far away Where would I be without your laughing eyes a - lookin' back at me Nothing'll take the place of how I feel when you come back to stay I know that you get the same feeling when all you really need's a little company Telephones and a letter make you feel better but nothing like the touch of you on me All I want to do is talk to you and get a line of reference on the state of our affair Telephones and a letter make you feel a little better but nothing like the touch of your hair Where would I be without your lovin' arms around to hold me close Nothing'll take the place of time with you when you're so far away Where would I be without your laughing eyes a - lookin' back at me Nothing'll take the place of how I feel when you come back to stay Where would I be without your lovin' arms around to hold me close Nothing'll take the place of time with you when you're so far away Where would I be without your laughing eyes a - lookin' back at me Nothing'll take the place of how I feel when you come back to stay (Brian Bourne)

Don't wait on me Look around and what do you see? You see me gone to set you free Don't wait on me I got the message you tried not to send Our time together is about to end I think you know what we're both thinkin' of It's too hard livin' in the shadow of love Don't wait on me Look around and what do you see? You see me gone to set you free Don't wait on me Sunset on a broken heart Your crystal fountain comes crackin' apart Sendin' white water crashin' down your mountainside Sunrise burnin' on the turnin' tide Don't wait on me Look around and what do you see? You see me gone to set you free Don't… Don't… Don't wait on me Look around and what do you see? You see me gone to set you free Don't wait on me (Dave Panting)

Rockaway 03:18
Rockaway, rockaway Rockaway, rockaway ... Sailing on the sea of space and time to take today Waves of dancing dreams it seems you're drifting back my way My heart was like a lonesome drummer beating endlessly Your love was a lighthouse beacon in my memory Rockaway, rockaway Rockaway, rockaway... Thunder faded behind the shades as the twilight came on strong Baby laid me in her cradle, rocked me all night long Singing songs in the dark 'til dawn we made our way home free Scattering ashes upon the water Rock away with me Oh rock away with me Rockaway, rockaway Rockaway, rockaway.. (Dave Panting)

Two Islands 04:43
wo islands a rainbow spans Everyone else is elsewhere Tomorrow's tomorrow and we don't care We're foregone in love Too late to worry about the price Is the pleasure worth the pain? You don't have to ask me twice There's an omen to tell me it's been worthwhile as the boat pulls away from the quay Two islands a rainbow spans Storm breaking over the sea We're foregone in love Too late to worry about the price Is the pleasure worth the pain? You don't have to ask me twice There's an omen to tell me it's been worthwhile As the boat pulls away from the quay Two islands a rainbow spans Storm breaking over the sea Too late to worry about the price Is the pleasure worth the pain? You don't have to ask me twice Is the pleasure worth the pain? You don't have to ask me twice (Dave Panting)

A warning sign A dotted line A line that's been wearing so thin And the heat is on and the feeling's gone and there's hard weather coming in But it's all right with me if that's all right with you We let it slip away little by little 'til there's nothing else left to do Isn't life a tricky piece of timing? You speak too soon, you're born too late What can you do when you're left free falling with no recourse but tempting fate? But it's all right with me if that's all right with you We live and die between the earth and sky The devil and the deep blue Yeah the devil and the deep blue The sun is drownin' in an endless ocean Darkness stealing like the hands of time The moon is rising and there's creatures calling from way out yonder on the borderline Well it's a hard go ‘round when the chips are down and options are a precious few We live and die between the earth and sky The devil and the deep blue Yeah the devil and the deep blue It's all right with me, if that's all right with you We live and die between the earth and sky The devil and the deep blue Yeah the devil and the deep blue It's all right with me, if that's all right with you We live and die between the earth and sky The devil and the deep blue Yeah the devil and the deep blue (Geoff Panting)
