I took your photographs, I threw them all away
I put your calls on hold 'cause I got nothin' to say
Hangin' on to you, that was my first mistake
Yeah, yeah
But some things you can never let go
Some things you can never let go
You took the credit cards, you took the bank account
You took my sanity. you've got me all drawn out
I'd give it all away to get you off my mind
Yeah, yeah
But some things you can never let go
Some things you should never let 'em show
Some things you can never let go
Let go, let go
Don't keep draggin' it out
Let go, let go
You're no good for me now
How much more can I take?
I can't spend my whole life in the dark
Now you gotta let go of my heart
I took your photographs, I threw them all aside
Forget your so called friends, I kissed 'em all goodbye
If I walk away, would you be satisfied?
Yeah, yeah
But some things you can never let go
Some things you should never let show
Some things you can never let go
Let go, let go
Don't keep draggin' it out
Let go, let go
You're no good for me now
How much more can I take?
I can't spend my whole life in the dark
Now you gotta let go of my heart
Some things you can never let go
Some things you can never let go
Let go, let go
Don't keep draggin' it out
Let go, let go
You're no good for me now
How much more can I take?
I can't spend my whole life in the dark
Now you gotta let go
Let go, let go
Don't keep draggin' it out
Let go, let go
You're no good for me now
How much more can I take?
I can't spend my whole life in the dark
Now you gotta let go
Gotta let go
Gotta let go
Gotta let go of my heart

No Mercy
No mercy
In the midnight hush, the restless hours between dark and light
In dreams we come together underneath the cover of the night
You're holding out, but i'm holding on
Can't wait until your resistance is gone
No mercy, accept no defeat
No mercy, 'til you're here with me
Now the pressure's on
You can run away but you can't hide
You might as well surrender, the walls are closing in on every side
I'm getting closer, now, there's no escape
Victory is written all over my face
No mercy, i won't give in no!
No mercy, 'til you let me in
I won't take no for an answer
I won't let go
No mercy, until you let me in
No mercy, no, i'll never give in
No mercy, i won't let you go no!
No mercy, and i want you to know, oh
No mercy
In the midnight hush, the restless hours between dark and light
In dreams we come together underneath the cover of the night
You're holding out, but i'm holding on
Can't wait until your resistance is gone
No mercy, accept no defeat
No mercy, 'til you're here with me
Now the pressure's on
You can run away but you can't hide
You might as well surrender, the walls are closing in on every side
I'm getting closer, now, there's no escape
Victory is written all over my face
No mercy, i won't give in no!
No mercy, 'til you let me in
I won't take no for an answer
I won't let go
No mercy, until you let me in
No mercy, no, i'll never give in
No mercy, i won't let you go no!
No mercy, and i want you to know, oh
No mercy

The Flame
Words and music by bob mitchell and nick graham
Another night slowly closes in,
And i feel so lonely.
Touching heat freezing on my skin,
I pretend you still hold me.
I'm going crazy, i'm losing sleep.
I'm in too far, i'm in way too deep over you.
I can't believe you're gone.
You were the first, you'll be the last.
Wherever you go, i'll be with you.
Whatever you want, i'll give it to you.
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon.
Remember: after the fire, after all the rain,
I will be the flame.
I will be the flame.
Watching shadows move across the wall,
I feel so frightened.
I wanna run to you, i wanna call,
But i've been hit by lightening.
Just can't stand up for fallin' apart.
Can't see through this veil across my heart, over you.
You'll always be the one.
You were the first, you'll be the last.
Wherever you go, i'll be with you.
Whatever you want, i'll give it to you.
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon.
Remember: after the fire, after all the rain,
I will be the flame.
I will be the flame.
I'm going crazy, i'm losing sleep.
I'm in too far, i'm in way too deep over you.
You'll always be the one.
You were the first, you'll be the last.
Wherever you go, i'll be with you.
Whatever you want, i'll give it to you.
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon.
Remember: after the fire, after all the rain,
I will be the flame.
I will be the flame.
Whatever you want, i'll give it to you.
Wherever you go, i'll be with you.
And whatever you want, i'll give it to you.

Space
You push hard, you stop my circulation
I know you really need a physical relation
We may not be a perfect combination
You need your love, I need my mental stimulation
If I'm not there, defend my reputation
Well, that don't mean that there's a real negotiation
Take a longer look, this could be privacy invasion
What makes you think you've got that fascination?
I need space, oh, oh
Come back some other time and place
I need some more space
I need some
I know you're burnin' with anticipation
Hold on, here comes your education
Make sure it's love not just infatuation
Tell me why you always lead me to that destination
I need space, oh, oh
Come back some other time and place
I need some more space
I need some
I need some
Ooohhhh I need some
Ooohhhh I need some
You push hard, you stop my circulation
I know you really need a physical relation
We may not be a perfect combination
You need your love, I need my mental stimulation
I need space, oh, oh

Come back some other time and place

Never Had A Lot To Lose
I don't need no money, honey
Fortune and fame
'cause i got all the riches, baby
That one man can claim
So take off your coat and close the door
Forget about your pride
I'm not afraid of falling down
Or staying up all night
You're gonna see it my way now
Don't try to bring me down
My life's a circus, an insane chain of circumstances
I never had a lot to lose
I never let it slow me down
I never had a lot of love now, honey
Never had a lot to lose
I can't explain the time it takes
To make you understand
I know you'll get to like it
If you only get the chance
I hope i get some time tonight
To see you comin' 'round
What can i give you in return
For one night on the town
(chorus)
But not till daylight, not till daylight, not to daylight
Daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight
I tried to tell you
It's a pain you can't hide
My life's a circus
An isane chain of circumstances
I never had a lot of love
I never had too much money
I never let it slow me down now, honey
I never had a lot to lose
Fortune and fame
'cause i got all the riches, baby
That one man can claim
So take off your coat and close the door
Forget about your pride
I'm not afraid of falling down
Or staying up all night
You're gonna see it my way now
Don't try to bring me down
My life's a circus, an insane chain of circumstances
I never had a lot to lose
I never let it slow me down
I never had a lot of love now, honey
Never had a lot to lose
I can't explain the time it takes
To make you understand
I know you'll get to like it
If you only get the chance
I hope i get some time tonight
To see you comin' 'round
What can i give you in return
For one night on the town

But not till daylight, not till daylight, not to daylight
Daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight

Wrong Side Of Love
She said that she's got something else on her mind
I'm spending my money, but I'm wasting time
It looks to me like the end of the line
Well, she plays both sides and she's making me choose
It's heads, she wins, and tails I lose
Each time I call, it's another excuse
I thought I was finally doin' everything right
Now it looks like I'm the one left lonely tonight
I picked the wrong side of love
And I wound up on the losin' end
The wrong side of love
Now I'm starting all over again
She makes me feel like I'm out of control
She comes on hot but she turns ice cold
Her light says stop when I'm ready to go...go
She set me up, now she's puttin' me down
Sometimes I feel like a face in the crowd
One day I'm in, the next day I'm out
I thought I was finally doin' everything right
Now it looks like I'm the one left lonely tonight
I picked the wrong side of love
And I wound up on the losin' end
The wrong side of love
Now I'm starting all over again
I picked the wrong side of love
Right place, wrong time
The wrong side of love
Well honey, point me in the right direction
I thought I was finally doin' everything right
Now it looks like I'm the one left lonely tonight
I picked the wrong side of love
And I wound up on the losin' end
The wrong side of love
Now I'm starting all over again
I picked the wrong side of love
And I wound up on the losin' end
The wrong side of love
Now I'm starting all over again
I picked the wrong side of love
Is there a bad side to love?
I picked the wrong side of love
The wrong side of love
I picked the wrong side of love
Is there a bad side to love?
I picked the wrong side of love
I picked the wrong side of love
I picked the wrong side of love
I'm spending my money, but I'm wasting time

Ghost Town
Well the streets are all crowded
Lots of people around
And there's music playing
But I can't hear a sound
Just the sound of the rain
Falling silently down
Livin' ain't been livin'
Since you put down
Yeah, life goes on around me every day
But it might as well be half a million miles away
It's like a ghost town without your love
Like a ghost town without your love
Like a ghost town, baby, can't you see?
It's a ghost town until you come back to me
Oh, oh, till you come back to me
Well I wish I still had you
Had you here next to me
Baby, where did you go?
Baby, why did you leave?
Though the world, it keeps turnin'
But it don't turn for me
Without you in my life
My life ain't no place to be
There's only lonely days and empty nights
Ain't the same without you, baby, nothin' feelin' right
Darlin', I want to leave this town
Don't want to be around
I'm gonna leave this town
Lots of people around
And there's music playing
But I can't hear a sound
Just the sound of the rain
Falling silently down
Livin' ain't been livin'
Since you put down
Yeah, life goes on around me every day
But it might as well be half a million miles away
It's like a ghost town without your love
Like a ghost town without your love
Like a ghost town, baby, can't you see?
It's a ghost town until you come back to me
Oh, oh, till you come back to me
Well I wish I still had you
Had you here next to me
Baby, where did you go?
Baby, why did you leave?
Though the world, it keeps turnin'
But it don't turn for me
Without you in my life
My life ain't no place to be
There's only lonely days and empty nights
Ain't the same without you, baby, nothin' feelin' right
Darlin', I want to leave this town
Don't want to be around
I'm gonna leave this town

All Wound Up
You've got me all wound up and ready to go
Every night when I see your eyes
You look like no other
Even though the world has all kinds
You can find friends and lovers
[Chorus]
Where have you been all my life?
Why did you wait so long? (wait so long)
I've been lookin' every night
I'll be with you from now on
Hey, hey, hey
You've got me all wound up and ready to go
Hey, hey, hey
You've got me all wound up and ready to go
If you feel left out in the crowd
You are not the only
You can go where the music is loud
And you won't be so lonely
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Hey, hey, hey
You've got me all wound up and ready to go
Hey, hey, hey
You've got me all wound up and ready to go
Hey, hey, hey
You've got me all wound up and ready to go
Ready to go
Every night when I see your eyes
You look like no other
Even though the world has all kinds
You can find friends and lovers
[Chorus]
Where have you been all my life?
Why did you wait so long? (wait so long)
I've been lookin' every night
I'll be with you from now on
Hey, hey, hey
You've got me all wound up and ready to go
Hey, hey, hey
You've got me all wound up and ready to go
If you feel left out in the crowd
You are not the only

Hey, hey, hey
You've got me all wound up and ready to go
Ready to go
