We Came Here to Party

Came here to party
We came here to party

Shine a light into this place
Make way for dancing space
All the money in the world
Couldn’t buy these days
To have loved and lost
Ain’t no disgrace

We came here to party
Come to celebrate the new golden age

Stare into the windows of my soul before I blink
I ain’t so arrogant that I don’t care what you think
I didn’t know until we met my real life hadn’t started yet
And the moment I first set my eyes on you I won’t forget

No such thing as coincidence

Mad bad and dangerous to know
Enough pain to raise a dead world
The words stand higher than the tone
We are the people who seek the unknown

We came here to party
Come to celebrate the new golden age

Ghostly halos

There was only ever you

Only you
Can show me the way
Out of disarray
Lead me to the promised land
Only you can
Mix it up coalesce
Without you there’s only loneliness

For a love that will not let me go
When all that is left
Are ghostly halos
I will love you

Never thought I’d be living in a world without you

Without you
There is no light at the end of the world
Face the music
Make a future thru the hard times stay together

For a love that will not let me go
When all that is left are ghostly halos
I will love you

Was it me who woke you from your sleep
That walked upon the waters of the deep

Then fade and go with the flow
Vapour trail ghostly halo

There she goes chasing rainbows
DJs play the cliches
Everybody loves you in the end

Brave new world

It wont be long
Till we’re back on the right track

Throughout my life I’ve seen changes
The wonder of it all amazes
We don’t have to be strangers
In a brave new world

It wont be long
Till we’re back on the right track

The elements were a little lighter
And everything was shining brighter
We don’t have to be strangers
In a brave new world

How much more will we take
Before we see the error of our ways
We don’t have to be strangers
In a brave new world

It wont be long

Back then nobody knew

Back then nobody knew
What was coming

To each a share
Not chosen few
Do what is fair
Not strictly rule

Winds of change
Ship of fools
Seismic shift
To break the rules

Back then nobody knew
What was coming

Beyond the fearless
Change attitudes
This is one fight
We dare not lose

Steady your nerves
Keep your cool
In time of crisis
We can pull thru

With hope we leave here tonight
We’re closer than we realise
Our destiny is what we make it
Together we can shape it
And build our stairway to the stars

We only wanted to do a little good
We did all of this because we could
Vows and promises we can renew
We leave a legacy of love for you

Do

Please don’t go stay with me
I’ll give you all my love

2 lonely sunbeams set adrift on solar winds
I was you and you were me
You were everything I dreamed you’d be

Everlasting love
Do those things that make me feel good

Harvest Moon Heart of Stone
I’ll give you everything that I own

Walk on by walk on through
I never loved no one the way that I love you

Here in this place where the sun never sets
Look down and swear that we’ll never forget

All that I am all I can do
I only ever wanted to be loved by you

Do those things that make me feel good

Please don’t go stay with me
I’ll give you all my love.

Judgement day

Simple as ABC
Spirit of ecstasy
The white heat of technology
Something to feel the need in me

Forever in a hurry
I never stop to worry
Sad facts of life no guarantees
Algorithms shake the disease

No need to hide yourself away
Rome wasn’t built in just a day
Pulling together as a team
There is no limit to our dream

Shaken to the core
Feelin like I’ve been here before
Stranded out on the floor
Get down and dance some more

Keep on grooving
Travel without moving yeah
Judgement Day all aboard the runaway train
Judgement Day the party is underway

One nation under a groove
Bad Robot made a wrong move
What does it mean to be
In life’s travesty

I got my show on the road
Loaded and ready to go
So let the good times roll
At the marriage of Figaro

All those years
Filled with tears yeah
Judgement Day counting up my mistakes
Judgement Day tomorrow will have to wait

Superhighway coast to coast
Carry that heavy load
Father and Son and Holy Ghost
A secret never to be told

No messages on my phone
I’ll call you back if I get home
I got to make it on my own
You got love in your soul

You got love
You got love in your soul

Soul searching

Alleluia

I’m listening to my inner voice
Telling me I have a choice
To be with you to know the joy
To hear the message in the noise

Alleluia

If I had the power to convince you to stay
Then all of my sadness would fade away
Frightened of forever scared of loneliness
I could have loved you more if you had loved me less

Alleluia

Soul Searching

Somehow I lost my way
I wanted to serve you not be your slave
Fearful of tomorrow to the past I wave
Cant save those that don’t want to be saved

Alleluia

You pushed me to the limit of my extremes
And from all my self pity I could find no relief
So I lit a candle to forget my disbelief
I know that its wrong to steal from a thief.

No dream is ever just a dream

No dream is ever just a dream

A companion someone to tell
Someone to pick up the pieces if I fell
I can do anything

Draw the water from the well
The sound of the ocean is trapped in the shell
With you I can do anything

I’ll give you love

No dream is ever just a dream

Why fall when we can fly
Ask me a question and I’ll tell you no lie
With you I can do anything

Born alone die alone
In between we are on our own
With you I can do anything

Today we return to that place
Where dreams are made

Olympia

Its not all about wining
Its about taking part
Dedication training hard
Let the games begin
Line up for the start

Faster higher stronger
Go faster
Reach higher
Be stronger

All those sacrifices come to fruition
Long time held ambitions are
Ready to rock the competition

Faster higher stronger
Go faster
Reach higher
Be stronger
Make your people proud

Olympia

We came we saw
New stars were born
Come together as one
In pursuit of excellence
We shall gather once more

Long lonely hours
Out on the road

Go faster
Reach higher
Be stronger
Out on the road
Make your people proud

Olympia

Make Love Not War

Unbreakable love
Unshakeable love

All I know is that
Peace, love and harmony
Sure sounds good to me

Everybody needs another chance to put things right
Everybody needs a guiding hand to lead them back to life
Pretending to doubt what we know to be true
Fall in love with me and I’ll fall in love with you

Let’s make love not war
Leave all your troubles at the door

Let’s make love not war
No more heroes any more

Let’s make love not war
Feed the hungry share with the poor

Let’s make love not war
Ain’t gonna work on Maggie’s farm no more

And it could’ve been
And it should’ve been
And it would’ve been you

And it could’ve been
And it should’ve been me

As natural as sand on a beach
Timeless beauty is within our reach
Everybody needs someone to hold on to
Fall in love with me and I’ll fall in love with you

Let’s make love not war
The darkest hour before the dawn

Let’s make love not war
The clouds they gather for the storm

Let’s make love not war
Let’s call a truce now to our discord

Let’s make love not war
Stand together divided we fall
