I Would Rather (Wonder Woman)
(© Hazel O'Connor / Clare Hirst / Sarah Fisher)

Wish I were brave like a wonder woman
Twirl around and get a whole new look on
She would dare give you a little come on
Come on, meet me halfway

How many times have I been here before?
How many times have I wanted a whole lot more?

(Chorus)
I would rather
Be a friend than a lover
I would rather
Better off this way

Wonder woman, she got her defenses
Protect her heart, her bullet proof bracelets
She got the truth, she got the graces
Her golden lassoo for you

How many times have I been here before?
How many times have I wanted a whole lot more?

(Chorus)

So the moral of this little story
Friends are forever and it doesn't get gory
If you need me, you just gotta call me
Wonder woman will come

How many times have I been here before?
How many times have I wanted a whole lot more?
How many heartbreaks and how many wars?
How many crimes have I seen in the name of love?

(Chorus)

Cinderella Moment
(© Hazel O'Connor / Clare Hirst / Sarah Fisher)

The clock is ticking at me, from the wall it calls
Reminding me it's way past midnight
I know I should go
Try to move on but my good intentions are gone
It's your song
Reaching out and pulling me up it's been too long

(Chorus)
What if all I want to do is sit here with you?
What's wrong?
What's so wrong?
What if all I want to do is listen to
Your blue blue song?
Party dress in rags, horse and courage
All gone
Is it a Cinderella moment
Coming on?

If I think too hard on this moment
I'm lost I am lost
I just keep going along with the flow
It's been too long
One for the road
Another story is told
Another song
Pulling me up and around inside out
Upside down

Feeling Good
(© Anthony Newley / Leslie Bricusse)

Birds flying high - you know how I feel
Sun in the sky - you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by - you know how I feel

(Chorus)
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea - you know how I feel
River running free - you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree - you know how I feel

(Chorus)

Dragonfly out in the sun - you know what I mean
Don't you know?
Butterflies all havin' fun - you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when the day is done
That's what I mean
And this world is a new world
And a bold world
For me
And I'm feeling good

Stars when you shine - you know how I feel
Scent of the pine - you know how I feel
Oh, freedom is mine
And you know how I feel
(Chorus)

Do What You Gotta Do
(© Jimmy Webb)

Boy, I understand how it might be
Kind of hard to love a girl like me
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
I just wanted you to know
I've loved you better than your own kin did
From the very start
It's my own fault what happens to my heart
See I've always known you'd go

(Chorus)
So you just do what you gotta do
My wild sweet love
Though it may mean that I'll never kiss those sweet lips again
Pay that no mind just chase that dappled dream of yours
And come on back and see me when you can

Now I know they make you feel so sad
Oh, it makes me feel so bad
Say you don't treat me like you should
They got ways to make you feel no good
I guess they got no way to know
Had my eyes wide open from the start
And boy, the part you've shown to me
Is the part of you they'll never see
It's the part you've shown to me

(Chorus)

Just chase that dappled dream of yours
And come on back and see me when you can
Just chase that dappled dream of yours
And come on back and see me when you can

The Very First Hello
(© Hazel O'Connor / Clare Hirst / Sarah Fisher)

You make me happy
Even when I'm blue
You make me smile
Whenever I think about you
All the world around me
Seems a much better place
Every time, every time
I see your smiling face

(Chorus)
Oh, woh, woh, woh, woh
Oh, here we go
Oh, woh, woh, woh, woh
Where I don't know
Oh, woh, woh, woh, woh
Let's take it slow
'Cos you had me from
The very first hello

We've had our up times
And we've had our downs
But I won't cry no
No, no, I'm on a merry-go-round
I know when I'm with you
It's where I wanna be
All I know all I know
You seem to get my key

(Chorus)

Oh, how you move me
Oh, how you groove me
Oh, how you grew on me
Oh, how you smooth me down, down, down

(Chorus)

I Give You My Sunshine
(© Hazel O'Connor / Clare Hirst / Sarah Fisher)

I give you my sunshine
Keep you warm on a winter's day
I'll give you a real smile
The one that's only for your gaze
I'll hold you forever, I will lift you if you fall
I will be there for you, all ya gotta do is call

(Chorus)
I give you my sunshine
I give you my sunshine
I give you my sunshine
I give you my sunshine
On a winter's day
You can have it if you wanted to

Wherever you go now
I can feel you just the same
All our adventures
I see the snowman that we made
Remember the laughter, remember love, remember it all
You are my best friend, all you gotta do is call

(Chorus)

What's the use in hurrying?
Everybody worrying
Everybody always gotta
Get somewhere
All I really want to do
Is stop the clock a while with you
And just be there, just be there
My very special fiend
No beginnings never end
You can have it if you wanted to

In These Shoes
(© Kirsty MacColl / Peter Glenister)

I once met a man with a sense of adventure
He was dressed to thrill wherever he went
He said ''Let's make love on a mountain top
Under the stars on a big hard rock''
I said ''In these shoes?
I don't think so''
I said ''Honey, let's do it here''
So I'm sitting at a bar in Guadalajara
In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes
He said ''I've got as powerful horse outside
Climb on the back, I'll take you for a ride
I know a little place, we can get there for the break of day''
I said ''In these shoes?
No way, Jose''
I said ''Honey, let's stay right here''
No le gusta caminar. No puede montar a caballo
(She doesn't like to walk, she can't ride a horse)
Como se puede bailar? Es un escandolo
(But the way she dances, it's a scandal)
Then I met an Englishman
''Oh'' he said
''Won't you walk up and down my spine
It makes me feel strangely alive''
I said ''In these shoes?
I doubt you'd survive''
I said ''Honey, let's do it
Let's stay right here''
No le gusta caminar. No puede montar a caballo
(She doesn't like to walk, she can't ride a horse)
Como se puede bailar? Es un escandolo
(But the way she dances, it's a scandal)

Rebecca
(© Hazel O'Connor)

A top flat in Bayswater
Rebecca would be doing my hair
We had so much fun, she sang all of the words to my song
As it played on the player
She'd give me her bed for the night
She would feed me and clothe me and such
I'd laugh and say, when the light hits that way
You remind me of Shirley Maclaine

(Chorus)
When will I see you again
When will we sing silly harmonies into the night?
I try and try but I can't help missing you
I wonder where you are now

We had us a dream back then
When we got back the things that were stole
We'd have an old fashioned party, an orchestra,long gowns
And we'd be the belles of the ball
And we'd dance to the emperor's waltz
Because that was her favourite song
I'd laugh and say, when the light hits that way
You remind me of Shirley Maclaine

(Chorus)

Are you an angel?
Have you been reborn?
Did you find your Buddhahood, was it worth all the toil?
I write this 'cause I miss you
And there's nothing more I can do

(Chorus)

Now the top flat is empty
But our rare old times call from the walls
And I hope that wherever you are you're alright
And I'll still have our ball
And we'll dance to the emperor's waltz
Because that was your favourite tune
I'd laugh and say when the light hits that way
You remind me of Shirley Maclaine

(Chorus)

Decadent Days
(© Hazel O'Connor)

Put on your face, put on your clothes
Going out dancing, pose, pose
Wind our bodies round and round
Move to the rhythm of the fare rave sounds

(Chorus)
These are the decadent days
These are the decadent ways
These are the de de de de de decadent days
De de de de de de decadent days

Swing to the left, swing to the right
Thrust your hips to the flashing light
Whirling dervish here's the rule
Sweating hot but you stay cool

(Chorus)

The whole room is vibrating
With all our bodies shaking
But still they're hesitating
From really taking it, making it, taking it

That's Life
(© Hazel O'Connor)

Sometimes I find it so hard to understand
We had some laughs together
Together we tried to change hand in hand
But now it's come to this, for now goodbye
And I must love you and leave you
And you must love me and leave me
And I must love you and leave you
But if ...

(Chorus)
If I had another chance
I would have the same romance
With life and you
The lands we travelled through
If I had my time again
I'd change it not another way
With you and life
The happiness and the knife
That's life life
That's life life
That's life life life life

A penny for your thoughts right now
Hey, I think I know
It's sad but I'll not let you see
One single tear when it's time for you to go
Hey we can say our goodbyes with a smile
And I must love you and leave you
And you must love me and leave me
And I must love you and leave you
But if ...

(Chorus)
