The moment's gone (a tribute to The Wedding Present)

Go Out And Get 'Em Boy! You were a survivor after all
You never even called (I didn't expect you to)
Now, there's such a lot you've done
And you're only twenty-one (yes, you're only twenty-one)

Oh, there's just something; something I noticed
That there's a whole world out there but it's shrinking fast
You want to take it all and make it last forever
Or maybe just a lifetime

Now you've gone to fly the flag
From some pinprick on the map (won't you ever bring it back)
Tonight, when you hold her in your arms
And you prove that you're a man (oh well, I hope she understands)

Oh, there's just something; something I noticed
That there's a whole world out there but it's shrinking fast
You want to take it all and make it last forever
Or maybe just a lifetime, maybe just a lifetime

And some things just don't ever go away
Some things you know are just here to stay

And in a golden field there is a little girl
Left with a union jack
And there's a price to pay, no matter what you say
There is no going back today
And if we're worlds apart, then I've still got a heart
Can you imagine that?
"Another wasted day", yes I can hear you say
But I'm afraid, it means much more to me than that

Once More A gang of thieves, somebody leaves
I swear I heard laughter
An empty gloom and some forbidden room
And a window to shatter

And does your heart begin to fail
When the moment gets closer?
You always turn the other way
But it doesn't really matter at all
It doesn't really matter at all, oh no

A crashing blow, does somebody know?
They must've heard my heart beating
And we're in tonight but there'll be a fight
Can you tell what I'm thinking?

And does your heart begin to fail
When the moment gets closer?
You always turn the other way
But it doesn't really matter at all
It doesn't really matter at all, oh no

Once more
Oh I know that I've said this before
Oh but this time I'm changing for sure
Just let me go out there

Once more
Oh I know that I've said this before
Oh but this time I'm changing for sure
Just let me go out there

Once more. Once more

Once more
Oh I know that I've said this before
Oh but this time I'm changing for sure
Just let me go out there

Just let me go out there again
Just let me go out there again

Once more, just let me go out there once more
Once more

Living And Learning If you said that it was nice, would you feel the same way twice
Or was it me who said, "There's no forever"
When the twilight's in the sky, there's a twinkle in your eye
God knows just why they seem to go together

When we're walking in the park, and staying out til dark
You know I've got to face the world tomorrow
If we feel a slight disgrace, it's well hidden in that case
The furthest thing from both our hearts is sorrow

You must know that, wrong or right
I'm going to need your help tonight
I don't care what she says
We can do it anyway
Oh, we can do it anyway

If you're standing in the light, make sure I'm out of sight
I can't afford to be seen from your window
And the closeness that we feel, is surely never real
Its what we are, not what will be tomorrow

You must know that, wrong or right
I'm going to need your help tonight
I can say without a doubt, it's going to be the end when she finds out

You Should Always Keep In Touch with Your FriendsAfter school, a friendship walking home
We fled across the fields, until we were alone
To a bridge, that stood close by the sea
The day that we spent there, is ours eternally

I don't have to tell you
I'm sure you understand
The first who lay beside me
Made me what I am (oh, she made me what I am)

A smile, in these ungrateful times
Makes all that you left me seem more worthwhile
But no, I couldn't really dare
To show how much I miss you
Isn't that unfair?

I don't have to tell you
I'm sure you understand
The first who lay beside me
Made me what I am (oh you made me what I am)
And no matter how it ends
You should always keep in touch with your friends

What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted? And this is for you
You must know it's for you
What else can I think about?

I knocked on your door
Until my fingers were sore
Although I'd guessed you were out

And what do I need?
Is it hunger or greed
That has brought me here?

And what will I find?
Aren't we two of a kind?
Oh I take back everything
I didn't mean a thing

And when you pull the strings I don't think you feel a thing

Don't forget what I say
We can be back in one day
We can borrow your mother's car

Don't sing me that song
I've been here for too long
Oh you couldn't have looked that far
Did you look very far?

I seem to recall
You said nothing at all
The day that this letter came

It must have been sent
By the friend of a friend
Oh now I forget his name
I'm really not to blame!

And when you pull the strings I don't think you feel a thing
Oh do you feel a thing?
And when you pull the strings I don't think you feel a thing

Every Mother's SonYou could hardly hope to please me
You haven't got that voice
A man just needs his mother back
A woman's got a choice
A little boy means strife and joy
In sickness and in health
A man's got to have his mother back
A woman's got herself, oh a woman's got herself

Will you help me, will you hold me
Will you miss me when I've gone?
A woman's got to have her mother's boy
So that her man is on his own
Will you excuse my little weakness
Will you tell me, &quotThat's all right"
A woman's got to have her mother's boy
So that her man comes back each night
Oh that man comes home each night
