This is a song to make you believe
I want you to be happy all the time
But sometimes the world is mean to you
So I will always be happy for you
Don't worry I'll always be happy with you

This is a song to make you see
I think about you 50% of the day
The 30%, about you and me
And the rest of the day, about our child
Don't worry I'll always be there for you

Someday they will find you, like I found you
Let's wait for the day together
No need to be upset

I won't try to change you, but I want to see
Your hair turning gray, you'll be a beautiful lady
Let me carry your bag, let me blanket you, please

This is a song to make you laugh
I want to see your smile all the time
Pick anyone, I'll do voices for you
"Honey, I want you so bad"
Don't worry I'll always be funny for you

But what I've been telling you, I mean it from my heart

A Song To Make You Believe

Now I can't see or feel you
You're far away from me
Those empty words you say to me
Begin to be unclean

You say we've changed so much, oh not again
If love can change, what stays the same?
You say it always rains on us, but wait
Where's the sun? Where's the sun?

Red is the colour of her hair
That's what caught my eye
Red is the colour of her guitar
That's what I want to play

If you have never seen red in your life
Ask her to paint an apple
Don't you think we're a well-matched pair?
'Cause red is the colour we like

Red is the colour of her dress
That's what takes my breath
Red is the colour of her lips
That's what I want to kiss

If you want to see what's burning red
Ask her to paint our love
Don't you think we're a well-matched pair?
'Cause red is the colour we like

Don't you be green
She's my queen
We'll make the scene
Like you've never seen

I'll never be blue
As long as there's you
Too good to be true
Nothing we can't do

Red Is The Colour

Some day, one day, today! today!
Consequence will always be the same
Some day, one day, today! today!
If you doubt it why don't you go and have a try?

Some day I'll be your man and we'll live together
One day I'll die and you'll cry beside my grave
So today I'm not going to tell you that I like you

Some day I'll find the truth and I'll change my way
One day I'll find another and I'll adjust again
So today I'm just going to bask in the sun, not love

Some day, one day, today! today!
Pretty soon you're going to get older
Some day, one day, today! today!
So why don't you stop trying hard?

Some day I'll be a richer man and I'll have some fun
One day I'll spend it all and I'll beg a handout
So today I'm just going to idle away my time, no work

Some day I'll be on TV and I'll be famous
One day they'll all lose interest in me
So today I'm just going to live like nobody, not to boast

If you want to cope with the fact that you're typical
Some day, one day, today! today!
If you finally realize you're not special
Some day, one day, today! today!

Some Day, One Day, Today!

She's changed
She used to be my inspiration
So I'll write for her

Thank you girl for being kind to me
And kind to everyone

She's changed
She used to be my only friend
But in her heart I was not
May the love she takes be plenty
Like the pouring rain

She's changed
She used to be my motivation
So I'll sing for her

Thank you girl for talking to me
And to everyone

She's changed
She used to understand me
But in her heart I did not
May the kiss I gave her shelter her
From the pouring rain

I know nobody's gonna stay in one place no more
But she went away from me as if she were changing trains
I didn't mean to hurt you
But it felt so right to be in your arms

She's Changed

Don't you cut off my head
Cos I kiss you on the bed

Wonder why you came in through the window
Is it that you're overreached widow?
You said, "It's just the talent I'm endowed"

Oh, oh, my Salome

Last night I saw you
I saw you crawl out another guy's window
Then I realised
Realised I'm too bright for your shadow

You're a woman of no importance
Never seen a person like you before
You're a woman of no importance
I'm afraid I will see you no more

A Woman Of No Importance

We went talking on the Tokyo train
To spend some time with the band
Then we got there and the venue was packed
We had to stand in the back

I ordered gin and tonic, she, ginger ale
 And we stood on tiptoe 
Golden night was about to begin
We were ready to sing

No “No Woman”
No “No Woman”

They melted our hearts with the delicate sound
We got carried away
There was a long silence between the songs
Even McCartney has to deal with that

We took Dylan song as a sweet salutation
But he threw his drum sticks too
We were waiting in a haze
It was so hard to leave

No “No Woman”
No “No Woman”

We'll wait for you
Please come back soon

He kept on drinking and got really sick 
Take good care of yourself

No “No Woman” (Whitney in Harajuku)

Never Find Time (Mixers)

Sweet little baby, stealing my money from my overcoat
Sweet little baby, but I really gonna knock you down

Sweet little honey, stealing my money from my overcoat
Though unforgiving, never 'gainst you shall my heart rebel

When did you baby, get your shadow men on the phone
How did you baby, let them enter my hotel room

Hey lovely lady, wait a second I'll give it all to you
You're lovely lady, but I really gonna knock you down

Knock You Down

Artwork by Chiharu Nikaido

Nothing I can do and nowhere I can go
So uptight

The city doesn't sleep, but we sleep in turn
You, wake up

I want a room, a room of my own
I want a room, a room with a view

Don’t let them see you crawl, we’re all playing chicken
You can’t just quit

They’re bored and angry, bored of being angry too
Don’t feed them

I want a room, a room of my own
I want a room with soundproof walls

Pa, pa, pa
You know where you are, my brother, that's a start
No, no, no, you can’t stay here
Find your own room, we’ve got the internet

I'm learning to say sorry for others
It's only natural, they say
I think they should stop pretending to be happy
Because we all get used to it so easily

Nothing I Can Do

Little boy blue, tell us what you see
There's more than one sun above you
That's why you feel so warm at night

You've already found the truth, so draw it for us
You've already found the note, so sing for us

Little boy blue, tell us what you hear
There must be something we're missing out

May your sea you swim be calm
I'll be a bird above
Soon you'll know the right star to follow

Little boy blue, you're a wonder child
Many will help you out when you're in need
They won't demand anything in return

You've finally felt the wind, so breathe it in
You've finally felt the heat, don't let it go

Little boy blue, with your noble squires
Run around and find out what eternity is

May your friends be kind to you
I'll be an attic dark
When you need a poem by your side

Do you want to go find a butterfly?
Do you want to go see the city lights?
Shower your love on everyone

Live, give, sleep, yeah
Love, laugh, don't cry
Like a lion, alright
Your luck, luck is in

Will I ever be free like you again?
Can I always renew myself again?

Say yes to me
I used to be a boy
Smelt like flowers
Now I have to be a tree

Don’t forget me
While I look around for my possibilities
And come into bloom

Will I ever wake up to see the brand new world again?
Can we fight and still be friends again?

Will I ever go for a bike ride without a map again?
Can I cry for my mother and father’s help again?

Will I ever grow up to be a man again?
Can I make a big decision again?

Little Boy Blue

Oo you
I've got something to say to you
If this world is a never-ending misery
I guess we should hold each other's hands

Oo you
I hope you understand what I'm saying to you
If you think it's full of everlasting love
So much the better, let's make it overflowed

Darling I long to hear your answer
But I'm a bit afraid
So don't hurry, I can wait until tomorrow

Darling I want to hear you say yes
But I'm not confident
So let me tell you why I need to be with you

When you came and talked to me I didn't know that
You were going to be so important to me in my life
But now every time I see you I like you more and more
I hope you are feeling the same

When you are beside me everything feels alright
Just in case you don't know I am going to show you
With a look on my face, words I say
If that ain't enough, baby I will kiss you too

Oo you
I've got one more thing to say to you
It's not a new love, this is my first love
Let's see what we can find in the garden of love

Oo you
I've got one last thing to say to you
I wrote this song, wishing it would make you smile
When this song's over, baby won't you call me?
