No Go Pogo 02:51
Skimpy chicks and shady tricks Unleash themselves on the same street Angry drunks and OAPs They’re drinking beer at super speed It’s a different town, it’s a different city, it’s a different place But it’s the same pubs, it’s the same clubs, it’s the same crowd So what do I do? It may be Saturday night but I am staying in Cos tonight there’s nowhere to go It may be boring at home all I can do is sleep But tonight there’s nowhere to go Horny pricks and catholics Gyrate themselves to the same beat Guy and girl with two left feet They’re acting more or less indiscreet It’s a different town, it’s a different city, it’s a different place But it’s the same pubs, it’s the same clubs, it’s the same crowd So what do I do? It may be Saturday night but I am staying in Cos tonight there’s nowhere to go It may be boring at home all I can do is sleep But tonight there’s nowhere to go

Is that your underwear that's on the floor? Is that your underwear that's on the floor? Guess in my sleep you've gone without a goodbye, and slithered past my door And left your underwear that's on my floor Wo-oh, wo-oh, wo-oh, wo-oh Wo-oh, wo-oh, wo-oh, wo-oh What if my man had come before I wake up? And noticed something that's not his? Something intimate, and something wet How irresponsible, I could have lost my head! "In a burst of light, you were the one that rocked my world with magic but if you come back again I’ll be in trouble!" Is that your underwear that's on the floor? I can't help laughing cos you would be chaffing, around town, Whilst I sit down, and think about, what to do with this piece of fabric? Do I wear it? Do I shred it? It smells of you too much for me to burn But if he finds out, it could be the last What happens next is anybody's guess And then this question would be the past And then this question would be the last.

Day by day I wonder what it's like to be Travelling where sun will always look at me So I pondered If I took that train All the way to Spain Then hop on the plane Go from India To Australia There’s a lot to see Come and fly with me! Let’s go far away And do something strange And live while we’re young Adventures are fun Let’s go far away And do something strange And live while we’re young So dance in the sun! I want more sun I want more sun - un I want more sun - un I want more sunshine in my life Let's enjoy the breeze On the isles of Greece We’ll tan on the beach In Argentina And savour the food In Singapura There’s a lot to see Come and fly with me!

Breaks My Heart In Two (free) 03:49
You’re the road to my soul Embraced in eternal loveliness You’re a sight to behold, to me Every night I pray to God That one day you will be mine But my lips have never tried To reveal what is inside... That it’s you… that I love And it breaks my heart in two And it’s you… that I love And it breaks my heart, it breaks my heart Go ha ha ha ha In a while, you’ll see why There’s no end to pain and sorrow When my heart isn’t mine to control Cos the focus of my love Doesn’t know that I’m alive And nobody really cares That you’ll never get to hear That it’s you… that I love. And it makes me wanna cry

I Feel Great (free) 03:08
I feel your sun rise over me Your colours rush with energy Your love's a rainbow from the sea You bring the meaning to be free To be free I feel great You are wonderful I'm happy I'm with you Over land, underwater In the sky and outer space I can see the world inside you You are everything, I love you You are everything I want to be So beautiful and free

Can’t wait to see A pay rise Once upon a time Life was possible without Getting overdrafts To fund living expenses You can’t get in the black You can’t get in the black You can’t get in the black When they all fleece ya Sacrifice, frivolous wants To survive, the credit crunch Giving up on fun To save a deposit On the way to become A first-time home buyer But there is nothing left! The bills rent car and tax Have eaten our paychecks.

Hard to find a quiet spot Too much to see The streets aren't clean And there’s no trees Small is the new regular Shapes are squeezed In tiny streets Where humans live Head under feet They've never seen A sea of smileless faces in between Packed like sardines I want to get off But I need to stay and earn more money I wanna leave right now I want to be where, the air is clear But my idea, Of escape here Is play countless games, On my console My consolation for my inertia I want to be where, the air is clear Where I won’t suffer, claustrophobia And I must confess, that my life here Leaves me in a mess

Stuck in a broken cage Time to break it down Realise that I can live A life of my desire Time to pack up and leave Those that hold me back I want freedom and escape To learn to love myself Take control of your destiny Your mind is your own Listen to yourself and be free You’re fine on your own Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! I’m not going to blame Them for my mistakes I’m just after independence To live life off their brakes So I will, let them go And leave them alone And get on with life Raise my confidence in me and learn to love myself You’re fine on your own Time for you to grow Only you would know How far you can go

I don't know what it feels like for a child Cos I was never one I was never one I'm instantly old And born fully-grown My youth just a flash right past my eyes I work when I’m told By a heart of stone With no time to play out in the park I’m beaten and blamed Abused and ashamed For all that is wrong inside my world Abandoned and forced To grow up too fast And done things I'm not proud of in the past But now I can do all that I want I can dance and play and sing my songs And I’m reaching out to all young ones And make sure no child is left behind And break down the cycle of violence And break down the cycle of violence And choose to forgive And choose to forgive And choose to forgive
11.
Strange things abound when I meet you Strange things abound when I with you And I don’t know why And I don’t know why And I don’t know why And I don’t know why My heartbeat stops when I meet you I find my world exposed to you Once in my life I can see the other side Will I have one more chance? Will I have one more chance? With your gift of life With your gift of life With your gift of life With your gift of life
