Intermezzo

You got angel eyes

Why don't you turn them on me?

I can't disguise

How close I want us to be

 

But I'm scared to tell you how I feel

I ain't got the nerve it would seem

But I gotta make it real

Instead of living in a dream

 

Chorus

I dream a little dream and say a little prayer

I hoped that you'd look down or at least notice me there

Just a smile from you would make me believe

That all you gotta do is make me dream my dream

 

Well you got the sweetest smile that I think I've ever seen

I'd spend a million lifetimes following wherever you'd been

 

Reality is so far away

When you are around

Your laughter or any word you say

To me is the sweetest sound

Everything must change, I guess that is true

Nothing stays the same, just passing through

 

Change is growth and growth is life

But that can be gone just like turning off a light

But I believe there’s something more

Otherwise what are we living for?

 

I’m gonna make it to paradise

There’s a place waiting for me that’s mine

Until the bad time’s I gotta get through

Are only killing time

 

Are there really angels? I wanna know

Tell me there’s a heaven; tell me that it’s so

I believe there’s a better place where we can lay down our load

It’s only getting there, that’s the hardest road

 

A flower grows, a flower dies

Lost like the innocence in the children’s eyes

 

Try to grow up fast then cling on to our youth

Like  in a world of lies trying to find the truth

But I know there is someone who cares

I put my faith in the man upstairs

 

I’m gonna make it to heaven, ‘cause it sure enough ain’t here

But I need reminding that it’s there, in a world of darkness and fear

 

Lyrics – Hunter 18/9/95

Music – Nuttall 27/9/95

Talking about effect, just change (the subject)

The only life I wrecked (was mine)

 

I feel so wrong inside this skin

But I could talk to you forever

But to this world I'm living in

 

I hear the voice, helps me to my tortured place

Now the way out so clear, so cruel to hurt the innocent face

 

Where am I going, what am I doing?

Thinking about what I want

People waste my time, I don't really care

They can just waste their lives

I won't stop and stare

 

I get on with my life, plan ahead

I've made up my mind, someone new in my bed

 

Sit back for too long, my dreams are in sight

Gonna get you girl gonna treat you right

It's high time that I made a move

Showed my love for you is real

That's the way I feel

 

Where am I going? I don't know....

It’s been a long time now

Since you and me been together

I don’t really wanna know where or how

Just as long as we stay as one forever

 

I know we can make it through

Whatever life can send our way

‘Cause I always think of you

That’s what helps me to the brand new day

 

Chorus

Strength to strength that’s how were gonna go

Closer together that’s how me and you are gonna grow

Without you it ain’t worth another day

Strength to strength there ain’t no other way

 

It’s been a long time now

And I’ve never felt this way before

I feel so small next to this power

But I wanna feel it more

I know that it’s a long hard road

That me and you gotta climb

But at the end it seems like no kinda load

If it means when I’m done your mine

 

Chorus 2

Strength to strength that’s how we’re gonna go

Closer to you more than you’ll ever know

Hold you to my heart I can’t wait any longer

Strength to strength and stronger and stronger

 

Lyrics – Hunter October 1995 (Ilkley)

Music – Nuttall 25^th October 1995

I had to get away to find myself

Or at least something worth searching for

It took a trip to Minnesota

To find the fire I had once before

 

In Minneapolis on a cold December day

I was alone and didn’t know where to start

The wind was icy but not as cold

As the vibes I got from your heart

I had to get away to get over you

You wouldn’t believe the pain I been through

You’re with some other brother and I’m Minneapolis blue

 

I grew up on this sound

Broken hearted lyrics, music like a teenage dream

But since you left me lady

For the first time I know what the words mean

 

The beautiful ones always fly away

On the wing and cry of a dove

Girl if you were here tonight

You could be my Saturday love

 

Love like we had only comes to a few

So why throw it away like you do!

And banish me to loneliness and Minneapolis blue

How can you just leave me standing

Alone in a world that’s so cold?

How can you so easily let go?

If it’s love it ought to be hard to leave hold

 

Sometimes it’s so hard to comprehend

So tough for me to understand

You said you’d love me forever

Yet you so quickly found another man

 

I was told women would confuse me then I met you

So I guess you’re the best at what you do

Lift me up so high then bring me down to Minneapolis blue

 

I guess I finally found myself

So now I’ll be shooting through

It took that trip to Minnesota

To stop me being Minneapolis blue

 

Leaving Minneapolis on a Christmas day

I guess I planned to spend it with you

But I found the fire I had lost

I’m no longer Minneapolis blue

There are sometimes

I want to cry

There are sometimes

I just want to die

But tears never seem

To come to my heart of stone

I scream out in the night

But I’m left alone

 

Chorus

There are demons and angels in everyone’s soul

Sometimes the demons take control

Leaving us together with the evil all alone

And that’s when I need my angel my angel to hold

‘Cause without you I’m so cold

 

There are some days

That never seem to start

‘Cause you’re the only thing

Bringing warmth to my cold heart

But without you near

My life just lost its spark

I’m left crying out

All alone in the dark

 

Lyrics – Hunter  October 1995 (Ilkley)

Music – Nuttall 03/11/95

When I’m alone sometimes I start to think back

To when life was like one big racing track

The times before when I was just a kid

People laughed a lot more and what they said, they did.

I remember racing through the night,

Me and the boys in Steve’s daddy’s car

Don’t care about what’s wrong or right;

Don’t think about tomorrow only where we are

 

Chorus

But when the bets are placed and the dice are cast

No one really gives a damn if it’s gonna last

If it feels good at the time, who cares about the cost?

‘Cause it’s only easy money that ends up lost

 

When I’m alone sometimes I start to cry

I think about my lady with the tears in her eyes

Remember times we’d spend dancing for hours

These days knew no end, they were just ours

You know the last dance will never be over, it don’t mean a thing

If you’re crying and it ain’t on my shoulder,

At least remember you’re wearing my ring

 

When I look at my father I can’t help but smile

He’s going through hell and laughing all the while

I’ve tried so damn hard to be the same

And it breaks my heart seeing my mother feel his pain

I asked so many times now, it sounds like a faded old song

Tell me God what was their crime? What have they done so wrong?

 

Lyrics – Hunter 00:23 Tuesday 10^th May 1994

Music – Nuttall 07/11/95

I don’t need survival If I’m gonna get through

I’ll just kill my rival, put the blame on you

Since the 6^th April there’s been no more sorrow

But it will return I know tomorrow

Don’t need to think about you If I’m gonna survive

Don’t need to be around you to stay alive

You’re everything I needed ‘til you lied in my face

I wasn’t comfortably seated when I fell from grace

 

Chorus

Will you ever see me trying to believe in a winter so cold?

Trying not to breathe the air that you believe in

The things that you’re told

Isn’t it a shame we’re crying all the same to live way back then

Lost you’re little game when hate and trouble came

I won’t cry again

 

Don’t need to dream about you if I want to smile

Don’t need to hear you talking, well, not for a while

I know I’m talking rubbish, will my feelings return?

I always feel the same, when will I learn?

 

Chorus 2

I could never hear you saying nothing new in a summer so cold

I could never sing every little thing and the things I’ve been told

I will not regret, things I can’t forget, that happened back then

I wish we’d never met, then I wouldn’t fret, I think I will cry again

(Living for tomorrow in impossible ways

Reliving all my sorrow in only 3 more days)

 

Lyrics/Music – Nuttall

10/11/95

 

(Some of the lyrics were scribbled down on scrap paper while in the Natural History part of Sunderland Museum)

I know I’m miles away

But that don’t change what’s inside

No matter what anyone can say

Something this strong can’t be denied

I’m stuck on the edge of nowhere while you are all alone

Don’t forget I’ll always care, I’ll always find my way back home

 

Chorus

Light a fire and let it burn through the night

Feel the heat and pretend you can hold me tight

Light a fire and let it burn all night long

Like us together, forever so strong

 

I know sometimes it’s tough, but I believe we’ve got what it takes

You can do anything if you want it enough

It’s hard to find any higher stakes

I know we can make it through,

Then you won’t have to be on your own

But there’s something I want you to do

Light a fire for my way back home

 

Light a fire and let it burn through the dark

See the flames that guide me to your heart

Light a fire and let it blaze away

Stronger and stronger every single day

 

I know this ain’t the way I planned, me being away from you so far

But you gotta understand, I never forget you where you are

I tell you when the chips are down

I’ll come running I hope you know

I’ll keep you from harm when it’s around

I’ll be with you right back home
