Espresso logic
If you don't listen what the people say
Put your hand in the paintbox and choose
Well she thinks she's looking so cool
Johnny needs a fast car
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Eyes so bright, so big and wide
Once there was a summer love
I go to work in a bubble
Gone too far
She closed her eyes
The people gonna have to take their own way
You got to give the people what they need
And only then will they begin to see
There's a world that we don't know
There's a world we never see
Espresso (x4)
I don't need this trouble, I don't need the grief
I don't need to feel this pressure down on me
Everyday there's something we don't really need
Stop, think, walk away and let it be
Stop, think, walk away and let it be
Espresso (x4)
There's a world that we don't know
There's a world we never see
Espresso
Red
Which one says the most about you
I would have to pick the deepest shade
The saddest shade of blue
But red is colour I'd choose
Red is colour I'd choose
I set my soul long ago and far away
Oh it's written down so deep it can never fade away
Though so many years have come and gone
Through my life one thing has stayed
An eternal light that shines clean through the grey
Red is colour I'd choose
Deepest red on a sky of deepest blue
It don't matter now if I should win
If I should win or lose
'Cos red is colour I'd choose
If I waste my time away waiting just for you
I don't care what others say
'Cos baby I just love, love what you do
Red is colour I'd choose
Deepest red on a sky of deepest blue
It don't matter now if I should win
If I should win or lose
'Cos red is colour I'd choose
Soup of the day
She thinks she's great but she's just a fool
What awful lack of class makes this kind behave this way
I look and only think of one thing to say
Soup, she's just soup
Soup of the day
She's thin around the waistline
Thin around the brain
You see this type so many times
Time and time again
How could they really think
They'd be treated in any other way
Everybody's looking and everybody say
Soup, she's just soup
Soup of the day
Well you'd think they'd know better
That behaving in this way
They think they're being clever
But I really have to say
You'd better think it over
You'll regret it one fine day
When the circus party's over
And you were just soup of the day
She's just soup
Soup of the day
Johnny needs a fast car
Johnny needs it bad
Johnny always do the best whatever Johnny has
Johnny needs a fast one
Johnny needs it now
You got to give him something to let him show you how
Johnny needs a fast car
Johnny needs a fast car
Johnny needs a break
Johnny don't need good luck
'Cos Johnny never fakes
He'll always make it look good
You'll always see him smile
Give Johnny a few inches and he'll give you back a mile
Johnny needs a fast car
Johnny needs a fast car
Tears upon the broken bones of luck that never went his way
Bless this one you'll know him by his smile
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Everywhere I turn it's got a hold on me
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Everywhere I run it won't let me be
Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Can somebody somebody somebody help me please
Between the thunder and the driving rain
Could I ever be, be the same again
Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
Holding on
Waiting for some good luck to come
Come my way, set me free
It's that old boy himself and he always knew
Sooner or later
If you don't say what's true you'll end in chains
And you'll always be
Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
Julia
Make you feel so strange
Somewhere deep inside
It's the face of an angel
Soul of the devil may care
How I'd love to know
What goes on in there
She needs your love
She needs it every day
But speak of love
See her laugh and run away
Julia, which way will you go
Julia, I wanna know
Julia, only the moon and stars
Julia, know just where you are
Julia
See the dance that needs no alibi
Oh you don't need to dream
When you know you can fly
She needs your love
She needs it every day
But speak of love
See her laugh and run away
Julia, which way will you go
Julia, I wanna know
Julia, only the moon and stars
Julia, know just where you are
Julia
Summer love
Long ago and far away
The autumn whispers to the falling leaves
Summer love can't stay
This was their place, this was where
Just for one moment, without cares
Two lovers dreaming of how the world should be
Please bring back my summer love to me
Did you have to go, did I have to stay
Did you have to go, away
Now it's all gone, but who can forget
Summer love, sweet summer love
I see your shadow everywhere
I feel your smile though you're not there
A kiss for every star in the sky way above
You'll always be my one and only summer love
New way
I got everything I need
I get so high on no trouble
It's a great feeling, being free
I say a prayer at thanksgiving
I bless the night and the day
I look up to the sky with a smile on my face
And I praise the lord of the new way
The sweetest sound I ever knew
Was the sound of reason falling
Like the summer rain
And the truth washed the pain away
New way
I don't watch TV anymore
Don't need to see it now we all know the score
And all the politicians know what they're there for
It's a new way
New way
Stop
Gone too long
Messed it up completely
Till everything is wrong
Stop, start over, start again
Too many pieces
Too much to chew
How can you ever win
When you're so scared to loose
You better stop, start over, start again
Stop, start over, start again
Walk away
See what it looks like from here
If you stay you will only drown
If a mass of fear
You need to sleep
You need a break
You got to find out before it's to late
Stop, start again
You better stop, start over, start again
She closed her eyes
And let the walls of her prison fall away
The walls that ached with a timeless wait
They had become her walls of this modern TV life
She closed her eyes
And let them fall away
And in her dreams she is standing by an ocean
She is gazing out to sea
She can remember with just a fleeting glimpse
That she was once free
So long ago now, so long it was as if it had never been
Was it a holiday
She thinks it could have been, ah yes, Italy
And he closes his eyes
And he is gone far away
Gone from all the confusion
Gone from all the pain
He can easily see what a pointless waste
His modern life has become
Chasing the gravy grain
Chasing the dollar
Chasing the clock
Chasing his male friends
Chasing the boss
Chasing as it was everything
It was nothing
Only the sound of his own breathing was all he had
At the end of the day
And reasons to wonder, reasons to cry
Too late for this selfish sinner who never asked why
