ON THE FLY IV - the Natural Curve LIVE MIX & ARRANGEMENT

highcosydnb2022

I look at you. I see a faded memory of times together. Plans to be - you and me. I look at you. I see a blinding light. You took my sight, the first time. But now the fading light tests my eyes but it’s alright. It’s the high cost of loving. It’s the price we have to pay. It’s the high cost of loving. We blazed a trail. We shone so bright: a burning light without a night. You held my hand. You took my heart. I didn’t think the end would start. But now we find ourselves adrift in memories lost but it’s OK. They say that time will heal but I appeal. I have to say: it was better yesterday. And now I find myself awake at night, a little scared. I hold you. I need you. Things looked better yesterday. No consequence. No need to pay.

Great night supporting Craig Charles at Epic, Norwich. Here's a recording of the performance...

The Natural Curve live at Epic (Norwich) supporting Craig Charles 17/02/2023

Situations change every day like reflections in the light. I found you and I lost you. You're my vision. You're my sight. Hold my hand and sit close to me. Let me tell you how I feel. I love you like the open sea, like an angel made real. Now that's up to you but you're way out of line. You act like a fool. Are you wasting my time? Situations change every day like a journey through the night. Careless words whispered so loud can turn sunshine into night. I want you and I need you like a poet needs a rhyme. Caress me and touch me. Hold your body close to mine. Now that's up to you, but you're way out of line. You act like a fool. Don't be wasting my time. Are you wasting my time? Situations change every day but every day I think of you. I know that we can find a way. Find the love. Find the truth.

If I Could Find The Words

LIFE CAN BE A DREAM AND NOT A SERIOUS THING…
TROUBLES THAT YOU HAVE ARE NOT AS BAD AS THEY SEEM
SO -  FORGET YOUR PAIN … AND LOSE YOUR MIND
AND TAKE YOURSELF…  TO A DIFFERENT TIME


CHORUS:

THERE’S ALWAYS SOMETHING ABOUT YOU X 4
YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH….(WHATEVER!)



TIME IS A HEALER - MAYBE IT’LL DEAL YA
A NEW DAY - AND A BETTER WAY
SO, CLOSE YOUR EYES AND USE YOUR MIND
THOSE GLORIOUS THINGS OF HUMANKIND

LIVE YOUR DREAMS… YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN
MAKE YOUR STAND WITH THE MASTER PLAN


CHORUS:

LIFES WHAT YOU MAKE IT … CHANCES COME
YOU HAVE TO TAKE THEM - ONE BY ONE
TO DO SOMETHING… WELL… IT’S UP TO YOU
WHEN RATION-A-LI-TY IS COMING THROUGH


COS THE LONGEST HOUR - AND THE DARKEST NIGHT
CAN BE YOUR DOOR - TO INNER SIGHT

Always Something (Original Disco Funking Good Times)

"You've got to fight to be what you are.... you gotta take the tough decision to be a superstar...."

Superstar (Rub-A-Dub Club Mix) mix 02

It's not always dance music.... I love a good tune - and this is a great one.

You never say what you mean to me. 
Hide your head in a fantasy. 
I dunno why I waste my time with you. 
You can’t deny that you feel the shame. 
Hide your head and divert the blame. 
Close your eyes and wish it all away. 
All I want’s a little time. 
To right this wrong and make it fine. 
All I want is honesty. 
Just catch my eye when you talk to me. 
All I want’s a little time to prove to me that you’ll hold the line. 
All I want is you. And me. 
Something I can’t explain.
No… ain’t gonna play your game. 
Cos I know that I can make it on my own. 
Don’t you know I know? 
True… it’s true that I needed you. 
Mmm – caught in a trap with you. 

But I’ve spread my wings and now its time to fly. 
Don't you cloud my sky. 

Your whispered words were truth to me. 
You said you’d help to set me free. 
But I can’t see a way for you and me. 
Don’t ask me why I feel this way. 
I’ve always been the one who stays. 
Sometimes I just think I waste my time.

Don't Cloud My Sky

Always Something, as BROADCAST On BBC Introducing

Look outside the door. People calling out your name. You’ve heard it all before and you know it sounds the same. Let’s get out our heads. Try to find a second sight. Take away the colour. Turn the set to black and white. People come running to you. People come dying to you. People come praying that you’ll shine a light in their lives. People come crying to you. People come dying to you. People come praying that you’ll shine a light in their lives. Get down on your knees. Say a prayer and cry for me. Ambition was your fool and you couldn’t let it be. Strangers turn to friends but it always ends the same: a blink and then they’re gone like a shot without a frame. I’m here to be with you brother. I’ll be your sister your mother - your lover. Everything you never had...

LISTEN

The truth ain’t always black and white
It’s the shade that shines - creates the light.

So bright...

You’re a true believer – I can see
But that doesn’t make you better than me

Won't you listen?

A simple man, with a one-line play..
You can do tomorrow, what you left today.

Just throw it away.

If you believe that love is real
You can free yourself to a true ideal

You gotta listen...
I said listen
Won't you listen
I said listen

Respect your brothers – show them love

Just like me...

A quiet man with a lot to say
No need to shout – no need to pray 

You're a true believer, I can see...
But that doesn't make you better than me.

Won't you listen?

Brand new day...

I said listen.

DON'T ASK ME WHY

You promised worlds and you tempted me
You said you'd show me - show me fantasy

Don't deny you can feel the shame

You can hide your head, but no else to blame
I don't know why I waste my time

Don't ask me why
Dunno why I waste my time
Don't ask me why
I don't know why you waste my time

Fight fire and you'll get burned.
Painful scar and there's no lesson learned

All the pictures seem to fade to grey
Broken memories, just fly away

I dunno what I waste my time
I dunno why you waste my time

Don't ask me why

Disconnection - lost the line
I'm broken down 
I'm laying down 
Can't hear your voice 
I'm broken - laying down. 
Why? 
Don't ask me why

All the pictures
Broken memories
Just float away

Don't ask me why

Fight fire

don't ask me why - electrofunkicity

SUPERSTAR

Hey little brother
Time to get the bus
You see, it's no longer we
No longer us

Evolution is the future
Day follows night
I need to take a clear view
And re-adjust my sight

You gotta fight
To be what you are
You gotta take the tough decision

It's no longer we
No longer us

Hey little brother
I’m sorry I made my day
We struggled up together
But now I’m on my way

The window is wide open
I need to take flight
You’d say that I'd sold out now
I would say you’re right

It's no longer we
It's no longer is

You gotta fight
To be what you are
You gotta take the tough decision

I would say you're right
It's no longer we
It's no longer us

You gotta fight
You gotta take the tough decision
You gotta fight
To find a better way

Hey little brother
Hey little brother
Find a better way

LIE TO YOU

When the light goes down on you and me
We’ll get it right, baby you will see 
I couldn’t lie to you

Touch your skin it touches me
Deep within, oh baby see 
I couldn’t lie to you

Every time I see you face
I learn my love, without a trace
I couldn’t lie to you

Light goes down on you and me

When the light goes down on you and me
We’ll get it right, you will see. 
I wouldn’t lie to you.

Never turn my heart away
A storm is coming and I say
And I love too much

Every time I touch your skin
A higher lover deep within
I couldn’t lie to you. No

The light goes down on you me
We’ll get it right, oh you will see
I wouldn’t lie to you

What can I say to make you see I’m sorry?
Sorry for the times I’ve told you truth
Is there anything that I can say?
Sorry, for the times I‘ve told you truth

Is there any words that I can make you understand
Nothing ever harms me
Nothing ever brings me down like you
Is there anything that I can say?

I wouldn't lie to you
I wouldn't lie
