Wasting Time Lyrics

COMING BACK FOR YOU
Spent the last year feeling empty you were forever on my mind
I’d been working in the city took a job that I could find
Times were hard but now I’m returning
Back to a life where I’ll hold your hand
I’d like to take you we’ll go on a journey
We’ll be together do the things that we’d planned
So I’m coming Yes I’m coming
I’m coming back for you

Times have changed now made some money
We’ll buy a place of our own
When I called you from the city
You cried down the phone
Times were hard but now I’m returning
Back to a life where I’ll hold your hand
I’d like to take you we’ll go on a journey
We’ll be together do the things that we’d planned
So I’m coming Yes I’m coming
I’m coming back for you

We’ll build a house down in the valley
On some land that we found
Down the lane and past the river
Up to the high moorland ground
Times were hard but now I’m returning
Back to a life where I’ll hold your hand
I’d like to take you we’ll go on a journey
We’ll be together do the things that we’d planned
So I’m coming Yes I’m coming
I’m coming back for you
So I’m coming Yes I’m coming
I’m coming back for you
So I’m coming Yes I’m coming
I’m coming back for you

Hanging around hanging around for little reason
Hanging around’s such a waste of my days
Standing around standing around just getting nowhere
Hanging around missing you in so many ways
Time was when me and you were happy
Time was when all that we did was laugh together

Talking the talk talking the talk with no conclusion
Just talking the talk you want to hear
Talking your talk talking your talk leads to confusion
You’re talking words but their meaning’s just not clear
Give me back the wasted time
Waiting for things that were down the line
Never should have hung around so long
Just wasting time, wasting time, wasting time

FISTRAL BAY
Three hundred miles, down the motorway
The sun’s in the sky, let’s not delay
Board on the roof, we got all the gear
Head for the coast, it’s the time of year
And as the sun goes down, we’ll be surfin’ on Fistral Bay

Folk like us, heading south west
Pull off at Gloucester, take a rest
Swap over drivers, take in the view
Just dreaming baby, of being with you
And as the sun goes down, we’ll be surfin’ on Fistral Bay
And the girl I love will be waiting for me
We’ll meet in the ocean bar
Sit at a table drinking beer
As we look at the scene from afar!

And the girl I love will be waiting for me
We’ll meet in the ocean bar
Sit at a table drinking beer
As we look at the scene from afar!

The waves rolling in, the sea crystal blue
The sound of the ocean, my eyes on you
Late in the evening, we’re walking around
The town is alive, with the surfin’ crowd
As the sun goes down we’ll be surfin’ on Fistral Bay
As the sun goes down we’ll be surfin’ on Fistral Bay
As the sun goes down we’ll be surfin’ on Fistral Bay
Surfin’ on Fistral Bay (Everybody’s surfin’) ……….
FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES
You’ve got your money you’re a wild child
You’ve got your friends in high places
You only dress in the latest style
Got your airs and your graces
Bet you never know
When someone else is down
Just as long as you’re happy
Out on the town

You got your fancy collections
Leather satin and lace
Never show me affection
Never look me in the face
I’m sure you’re fully aware
Of what you put me through
You always hurt me
But I couldn’t hurt you
All your friends in those high places (in high places)
Think you’re looking out for me (looking out for me)
How wrong how wrong could they all be

You’ve got your problems
I have mine too
Got your habits and addictions
I’m not addicted to you
I was once but now I’m through
You see me but I’ve seen through you
All your friends in those high places (in high places)
Think you’re looking out for me (looking out for me)
How wrong how wrong could they all be
All your friends ………………………(in high places)
All your friends ………………………(in high places)
All your friends in those high places
JUST OVER THE HILL
Just over the hill, there’s a new world waiting
Time to move along, it’s all of our making
Circumstances change, there’s no mistaking
Happened in a flash, just relocating
Didn’t have a chance to see the writing on the wall
Was it just a leap of faith before a mighty fall?

Just over the hill, there’s a new world waiting
Decisions made, no hesitating
The sky turns blue, a new day breaking
Our future now, is what we’re staking
Not far to go before we reach the other side
A few more steps, then you can see the great divide

Just over the hill, don’t stop your dreaming
Build your hopes and faith, no disbelieving
Let humility shine, there’s no deceiving
Life goes on, don’t stop believing

Not far to go before we reach the other side
A few more steps then you can see the great divide
Just over the hill (repeat)
THE FIRST SIGN
I see the first sign of the Springtime
See it reflecting in your eyes
I see the first sign that you’ll be mine
All the signals crystallise
What can we do to make it happen
Finding a way to hold it all in place

I see the first sign of the Springtime
See the warming Sun chasing away the snow
I see the first sign that you’ll be mine
It’s a new love take it slow
What can we do to make it happen
Finding a way to hold it all in place

What can we do to make it happen
Finding a way to hold it all in place

I could run from you, just the sort of thing I’d do
At the first sign
I could turn away close my mind to what you’d say
Maybe not this time
I see the first sign
I see the first sign
I see the first sign
WHERE DID THE YEARS GO?
Been such a long time, since we last met
The months have passed by, I wonder where they went?
Reflections in a dark age, when will it end?
Is there light approaching, on us it will depend
When all this is ended, where will we be now?
Stuck out on an island, with no place to go.
Where did the years go? Where did the years go?

Heavy expectations, of our life ahead
Frustration overflowing, the way that we’ve been led
Scientific intervention, hope there for us all
Is it going to save us, who will hear our call?
When all this is ended, where will we be now?
Stuck out in the ocean, with no place to go
Where did the years go? Where did the years go?

The life that we were living, before the darkness struck
The things that really matter, we were running out of luck
Looking to the future, the hope of better days
Can we have some freedom, from this sad malaise?
When all this is ended, where will we be now?
Stuck out in the country, with no place to go
Where did the years go? Where did the years go?
Where did the years go? Where did the years go?
I COULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE
Could have been the one trying to cross the river
Running from trouble trying to make a new life
There was no wall, but the current pulled them under
He promised them the world but took her life

I could have been the one saying goodbye to my mother
She’d know it would be my last throw of the dice
He took the chance in desperation
Made the decision for her and paid the price

They could have been free they could have got through
It was so out of reach so much in view
It could have been me it could have been you
Born into a different world one we never knew

It could have been my wife looking on in horror
All she would have heard were her loved ones’ screams
She was standing in their homeland
They were lying on the bank of his dreams

They could have been free they could have got through
It was so out of reach so much in view
It could have been me it could have been you
Born into a different world one we never knew

One world one people ……………………..
GOOD TIMES
When I’m walking down the track, and I’m not ever turning back
Want to meet you, once again
Take a breath, breathe in the air, there’s a freedom everywhere
Want to meet you, once again
I can feel, good times again
I can feel, good times again!

When I’m riding on my bike, I can go wherever I like
Want to meet you once again
In the forest, through the trees, I can sense you on the breeze
Want to meet you once again
I can feel, good times again
I can feel, good times again!

We’ve had so many good times looking back now
So many special memories linger on.

Climb the hill and reach the top, tell myself I’ll have to stop
Want to meet you once again
And I’m looking at the view, it reminds me just of you
Want to meet you once again
I can feel, good times again
I can feel, good times again!
I can feel, good times again
I can feel, good times again!
HUMDRUM DAYS
Someday it will all be OK back to normal, run of the mill
Back to the humdrum days
Someday we will all be free
To spread our wings and touch the sky
Back to the humdrum days that’s where we’ll be

There’s something to be said for the 9 to 5
Working at the coalface trying to stay alive
Dreaming of the weekend the beach of golden sand
The road ahead someone to take my hand

We all can dream
We all can be what we want to be
We all have hopes we all have fears

Just need the chance to break the chain
The chance to taste sweet freedom again
Just need the chance to break free
The chance to be who we need to be

Someday soon we’ll go our own way
Looking after number one
Back to the humdrum days
Someday ships will return to the sea
The train on the track will take us away
Back to the humdrum days that’s where we’ll be

There’s something to be said for being alive
You get one shot at this life, you have to fight to survive
Dreaming of better days and the Sunday drive
When the roads were dead back in 75
Back to the humdrum days, back to the humdrum days
Back to the humdrum days
TOP ROAD
Get out my house and climb the hill
I’ll get to you, I know I will
The climb is hard, and I catch my breath
I know that I will meet you yet!
And I’m flying down the top road
With the wind blowing in my face
And I’m flying down the top road
I’m going to make it to your place, to your place

I pass the well, the road gets steep
I don’t get off but I just creep
Almost there just one last push
Pedal hard no need to rush
And I’m flying down the top road
With the wind blowing in my face
And I’m flying down the top road
I’m going to make it to your place, to your place

Ooh ooh ooh, aah aah aah
Ooh ooh ooh, aah aah aah

Through winding lanes and countryside
Down the hill up the other side
Up on the moors, where the skylark sings
That golden moment that it brings
And I’m flying down the top road
With the wind blowing in my face
And I’m flying down the top road
I’m going to make it to your place, to your place
LET IT SNOW
Looks like this weather is set in for the night
We won’t be going very far
We’ve got no power, we don’t have any light
It won’t be safe to drive the car

Listening to the forecast, there’s no change coming soon
At least that’s what they said the other day
Let’s grab the blanket from the chest lie here in this room
Look into your eyes and say ………

Hold me closer, don’t ever let me go
Let me wrap my love around you
Let it snow, let it snow
Tell me how you love me, I’ll pretend that I don’t know
To see your smile will melt my heart
But not the falling snow
Let it snow, Let it snow

When we wake tomorrow, it will be a brand new day
The Sun will shine, the snow will soon depart
I watch you as you lie there dream your dreams away
I’m here thinking how you stole my heart

And you held me closer, you never let me go
I wrapped my love around you
And it snowed, how it snowed
I told you that I loved you, you pretended not to know
Still your smile will melt my heart
But not the falling snow
Let it snow, Let it snow …………
