A street in paris in the rain
I shoot in black and white a hundred frames
I watch your make-up
Begin to run
- An Island in the Darkness
Like a fuse to the end will burn
Like a wave when the tide has turned
You keep on coming regardless
You won't accept defeat
And in the light of a cold grey dawn
When all seemed lost and you felt so forlorn
You sensed a warmth surround you

I was walking along at the end of the day
- I Wanna Change The Score
I wanna be in another place
Some other body and someone else's face
Don't wanna be in here

I wanna play me a different part
Another feeling in someone else's heart
Don't wanna cry out loud
Don't wanna show you I'm too damn proud.
