01-BABY DON’T CRY – C1 Si m

Chris Rea

 

The cold axe of bad love
Sure cut you down
There's nothing to hold on to here
In this part of town

Your heart has been broken
But hear what I say
Ain't nothing but a cold night
Bringing home a new day


I know what you're feeling
What you're going through
How much it must hurt you
Like nothing else do

Don't cry, baby don't cry,

the worst is over


Don't cry, baby don't cry,

the worst is gone
baby don't cry, baby don't cry,


Hey little angel,

oh hear what I say
The pain that you're feeling

 

I swear it won't stay


'Cos I got the wisdom
Of a thousand broken bones
And I'll be here with you
So you never be alone

 

Singing:
Don't cry, baby don't cry
The worst is over now
Don't cry, baby don't cry
The worst is gone

 

Don't cry, baby don't cry
I'll stay here with you
Don't cry, baby don't cry
The worst is gone


Baby don't cry…

 

I will be with you
So you're never alone

 

Don't cry, baby don't cry
The worst is over
Don't cry, baby don't cry
The worst is gone

02-ON THE BEACH – C1 Mi m

Chris Rea

 

Between the eyes of love

I call your name
Behind the guarded walls

I used to go


Upon a summer wind

there's a certain melody
Takes me back

to the place

that I know

 

on the beach

Down on the beach

The secrets of the summer

I will keep
The sands of time will blow

a mystery


No-one but you and I
Underneath that moonlit sky
Take me back

to the place

that I know

 

On the beach

Down on the beach.

 

Instrumental break

Forever in my dreams

my heart will be
Hanging on to this sweet

memory


A day of strange desire
And a night that burned like fire
Take me back

to the place

that I know

 

On the beach

 

Down on the beach

Down on the beach

 

On the beach

03-IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE – Mi m

Chris Rea

 

Here I go, out to sea again

The sunshine fills my hair

And dreams hang in the air

 

Gulls in the sky

And in my blue eyes

You know it feels unfair

There's magic everywhere

 

Look at me standing

Here on my own again

I’m staying in the sunshine

 

No need to run and hide

It's a wonderful, wonderful life

No need to laugh and cry

It's a wonderful, wonderful life

 

Sun’s in your eyes

The heat is in your hair

They seem to page you

Because you’re there

 

And I need a friend

Oh I need a friend

To make me happy

Not stand here on my own

 

Look at me standing

Here on my own again

I’m staying in the sunshine

 

No need to run and hide

It's a wonderful, wonderful life

No need to laugh and cry

It's a wonderful, wonderful life

 

I need a friend

Oh I need a friend

To make me happy

Not so alone

 

Look at me here

Here on my own again

I’m staying in the sunshine

 

No need to run and hide

It's a wonderful, wonderful life (X4)

04-LOOKING FOR SUMMER – Si m

Chris Rea

 

Look deep into the April face

A change has clearly taken place

Looking for the summer

 

The eyes take on a certain gaze

And leave behind the springtime days

Go looking for the summer

 

This ain't no game of kiss and tell

The implications how you know so well

Go looking for the summer

 

The time has come and they must go

To play the passion out that haunts you so

Looking for the summer

 

Remember love how it was the same

We scratched and hurt each others growing pains

We were looking for the summer

 

And still I stand this very day

With a burning wish to fly away

I'm still looking

Looking for the summer

05-THE BEAT GOES ONE – Do M

Chris Rea

 

See them talking on the corner

You'll see them every day

So many words, so many reasons

About the ship that sailed away

 

Was it something to do with business

Was it love that done them wrong

Always somebody else to blame it seems,

For the half chance been and gone

 

Oh, baby

The beat goes on,

Oh, baby

I say the beat goes on

 

The beat goes on

 

See them drinking in the corners,

Be amazed at what they say

They've all got their tears and stories

About the big one that got away

 

There are always so many reasons

Why they missed that place that day

Tales of woe and treason

About the ship that sailed away

 

Oh, baby

Yeah, the beat goes on

I see them everyday,

Oh, baby

And... the beat goes on

06-ROAD TO HELL – La m

Chris Rea

 

Well I'm standing by the river

But the water doesn't flow

It boils with every poison

you can think of

 

And I'm underneath the streetlight

But the light of joy I know

Scared beyond belief

way down in the shadows

 

And the perverted fear of violence

Chokes the smile on every face

And common sense is ringing

out the bell

 

This ain't no technological breakdown

Oh no, this is the road

to hell

 

break

 

And all the roads jam up with credit

And there's nothing you can do

It's all just pieces of paper

flying away from you

 

Oh look out world, take a good look

What comes down here

You must learn this lesson fast

and learn it well

 

This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway

Oh no, this is the road

Said this is the road

This is the road to hell
