Wetton's debut solo album: TURN ON THE RADIO (Wetton) All the day, I just can't stand it I can't give no more, but the man demand it Watch the clock, through the window Wait for it, when the last bell go Grab the keys, I go solo Get that engine going, and the radio City lights rushing fast by me Got to leave, feel so damn stymied Get away, where they can't see me Where it's safe, I can just be me Cruising quick, getting near midnight Turn up the volume and I'm feeling alright Play it loud, play it long, play to win play it cool, play it hard, don't give in play it live, play it me Turn on the radio All the day, I just can't stand it I can't give no more, but the man demand it Get away, where they can't see me Where it's safe, I can just be me Grab the keys, I go solo Get that engine going, and the radio Turn on the radio BABY COME BACK (Wetton) You went away leaving me on my own You went out there with somebody new The distractions day are okay I don't worry But the night brings the memory back of you Plenty of girls I can laugh and pretend with The evenings are never a bore But the end of the party I leave by myself And the thrill turns to chill when I get home Baby come back I'm lonely without you Baby come back You went away Baby come back Said I'm lonely without you Baby come back I always thought of myself as a loner You proved me wrong now I know Despite what I said, It's a high price I paid It's so cold at the end of the day I need you back by my side, there's no doubt I loved only you all along If you would admit that you're aching as I do Come back, I'll admit that I was wrong WHEN WILL YOU REALIZE? (Wetton) This is the year that we all live in fear There's no future for you and I It may be your dream but you don't fit in my scheme And I'll run from your loving arms, it will be, that You've not seen the bad side of me I will stay in your sweet memory, till you die This is the day you should wake up and say You'll discover what's going down because, Maybe you're thinking that love's everlasting But no, there's something wrong, when you're sure That the odds are all stacked on your side But I'm only along for the ride, you'll observe This is the hour as it starts to turn sour and You find out, that love's a sad game and This is the moment you're losing, confusing That same old sympathy, but you carry on And you dance till the guests have all gone There'll be no-one to carry you home You're alone, all alone And When will you realize? COLD IS THE NIGHT (Wetton) Same stupid game I always lose Same stupid game Without you Cold is the night I don't make promises I don't tell lies And I don't take anyone's advice One thing I'm certain of This time it's for real Well I sure know how it feels Cold is the night Blue is the day Cold is the night Without you Same stupid game I always lose Same stupid game Without you Cold is the night PAPER TALK (Wetton) I've seen your diamond ring Shining across the room Illuminating everything You're such a star, you know you are, you are And you've got no time for me I'm not one you want to see Your role in society Dictates to you, a busy man, you've things to do I understand, but when I call, you're off the wall, you are Paper talk is all I get from you Paper talk all the way Paper talk it could be baby talk Paper talk all the way The man brings champagne for you You don't have to tell him to He does, he's expected to It's the thing to do, for the man of means, you are And you talk too fast for me You don't understand ability Your game is monopoly The family tree, dates back to when, your pedigree Betrays to me, those promises, never to be, again Paper talk is all I get from you Paper talk all the way Paper talk it could be baby talk Paper talk all the way Your watch is from Cartier And time's the only price you pay To me, living day by day Your noble chin explains to me Your blue eyes belie insincerity and I despise The pointless lies, you tell GET AWAY (Wetton) Get away, get away from me now You wanted to see me again 'Though when I was in need of a friend You threw me away at the end of the day So you're not going to do it again You wasted my time all along So I've nothing to say to you now You wouldn't avail when the goods were for sale So don't you come after me now Get away Stop the game, I want to start again I changed my hand, thrown the old one in I'm out on my own, strictly alone, and baby you're going to see Things turn around when you bring somebody down Get away, get away, get away from me now Get away, get away, get away from me now Snapping your fingers at me There was nothing that I wouldn't do I'm a singular man and I do what I can But I can't take a day more of you It's a hell of game that you played You leading me 'round by the nose I'm so sick and tired of the same stupid lies And you say that anything goes Stop the game, I want to start again I changed my hand, thrown the old one in I'm out on my own, strictly alone, and baby you're going to see You don't have to choose when you've nothing left to lose Get away, get away, get away from me now Get away, get away, get away from me now You wanted to see me again 'Though when I was in need of a friend You threw me away at the end of the day So you're not going to do it again It's a hell of a game that you played There was nothing that I wouldn't do I'm so sick and tired of the same stupid lies And I can't take a day more of you CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE (Wetton) It's a cold, dark and lonely night When you know no way to turn When you've gambled the two things you loved and lost It's the hard and only way to learn When I was young, I though I'd never change But values rarely stay the same Such a drag to go through all of this To see my whole life rearranged I was caught, caught in the crossfire Between you and me and me and her I was caught, caught in the crossfire Between right and left and right and wrong And experience is no comfort now It's the world of the unknown There's a road leading through the crowd I'm the man, the man who walks alone From the start, well I had to choose It was for me along to decide It was plain sailing at daybreak By nightfall I was dragged beneath the tide I was caught, caught in the crossfire Between you and me and me and her I was caught, caught in the crossfire About what was right and what it left for me So everyday, keep searching, to find a way And keep moving, to leave this place Drown in sorrow, raise my glass And maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow … GET WHAT YOU WANT (Wetton/Sinfield) You always were a survivor Always could hang on You've got the judge in your pocket You'll get want you want Clear skies aboard the Titanic Full steam ahead The water's cold but don't panic You'll wake up in bed You were always the one You knew how it was done When I could walk you could run Now I hear you've retired and I've hardly begun Get what you want There's no cigar for Napoleon And his friends like you Who get a hard sort of holy on The road to Waterloo You always were a deceiver Heart broken down Infatuated with circuses But scared to death of clowns You were always the one You knew how it was done When I could walk you could run Now I hear you've retired and I've hardly begun Get what you want Look at the river Look at it flowing Stand and deliver Tell me where you're going Don't understand you But you're fascinating So I'll wait here to land you I'm waiting Clear skies aboard the Titanic Still steaming on The water's cold but don't panic You'll get what you want You were always the one You knew how it was done When I could walk you could run Now I hear you've retired and I've hardly begun Get what you want n I'LL BE THERE (Wetton) It's your own life to lead, but the future's not guaranteed There may be someone else you need along the way The going can be tough, so when you know you're had enough Just turn around, give in, call it a day I'll be there, I won't let you down I'll be there, I'll always be around I'll be there, I won't let you down I'll be there, I'll be there If the next guy you choose turns out to be bad news Don't let it worry you the slightest, not at all I'll be sitting by the 'phone, so when you're coming home Let it be my number that you want to call I'll be there, I won't let you down I'll be there, I'll always be around I'll be there, I won't let you down I'll be there, I'll be there Call on me when all your point of reference Make no sense at all, don't hesitate just call I know you had to have your fling It's only second nature, in the end you're coming Home to me I'll be there, I won't let you down I'll be there, I'll always be around I'll be there, I won't let you down I'll be there, I'll be there WOMAN (Wetton) When you say that you will never part from me I believe you always, come what may I sometimes have doubts, but when you speak to me In seconds they're all washed away And I know it never would occur to you That you mean the world and more to me Say that you'll stay for eternity For it's you gives me reason to be Woman oh woman, if you could only see Woman oh woman, just what you mean to me At times I know I am impossible I can ignore you, but you should know by now One look from you and I understand And the frown disappears from by brow In my life the girls were a necessity There were others but none compared to you I'll give you that life if you want it now In the end that is all I can do Well I tell myself this is the last time I want the whole thing, nothing less will do No-one else can give me just what I need So always I come back to you Woman oh woman Woman oh woman Bonus tracks: EVERY INCH OF THE WAY (David Byron/Daniel Boone) (1981) The Byron Band: On The Rocks Met an old friend today And he told me he was real low 'Cause his music don't fit With the change of the time So I asked him to join me That night for a free blow Just like we did when we played For those nickels and dimes He took a chair and told me That he'd think it over Said that it was a while Since he'd tickled the strings So I told him to come along If he was sober And get high on the energy rock'n'roll brings He said, I'll tell you no lie I'll give it one more try 'Cause I love my old rock music And I want it to stay Just put me to the test You bet I'll give my best And I'll push her to the job Every inch of the way Late at home in the evening I was sittin' and playin' Looked to the bar on the stage Came an old friend of mine Said, he had it grooving And figured on staying And if it was okay by me Could he join for awhile I'll tell you no lie I'll give it just one more try 'Cause I love my old rock music And I want it to stay Just get me to the test You know I'm gonna give my best And I'll push her to the job Every inch of the way I won't tell you no lie 'Cause I'm gonna give it One more try 'Cause I love my old rock music And it's got to stay Just put me to the test 'Cause you know I'm gonna Give my best And I'll push her to the job Every inch of the way I'll tell you, tell you, tell you no lie I'll give it one more try 'Cause I love my old rock music And it's got to stay OUT OF THE BLUE (Ferry/Manzanera) (1995) Roxy Music: Psalm All your cares now they seem oh so far away All your fears I fear I once shared Now I know there's a future for all of us Not so long ago I was so scared You seemed so sad I could see through your twisted smile So unsure always confused Pale blue eyes gazing down from your ivory tower Through the haze all broken and bruised Then out of the blue love came rushing in Out of the sky came the sun Out of left field came a lucky day Out of the blue no more pain I don't mind if it's only a passing craze Throwaway lines often ring true If I were you I would stay for a little while If you were me would you walk out in style?
