BRINGDOWN
Words & Music by Ian Gomm
I don't want to discuss it one more time
I won't even entertain it on my mind
Cos' if we just keep fooling around
Covering the same old ground
Gonna be a bringdown
Gonna be a bringdown
Gonna be a bringdown go get it honey now
I don't want to discuss it anymore
If I do little girl I promise
I'm gonna walk right out of that door
Cos' if we still can't make up our minds
After ten thousand times
Gonna be a bringdown
Gonna be a bringdown
Gonna be a bringdown oh oh oh
I don't want to discuss it one more time
I won't even entertain it on my mind
Cos' if we still can't make up our minds
After ten thousand times
Gonna be a bringdown
Gonna be a bringdown
Gonna be a bringdown go get it honey now
Gonna be a bringdown
Gonna be a bringdown
Gonna be a bringdown oh oh oh

CRUEL TO BE KIND
Words & Music by Nick Lowe & Ian Gomm
Oh I can't take another heartache
Though you say you're my friend I'm at my wits end
You say your love is bona-fide
But that don't coincide with the things that you do
And when I ask you to be nice you say
You've got to be cruel to be kind in the right measure
Cruel to be kind it's a very good sign
Cruel to be kind means that I love you
Baby you've got to be cruel to be kind
Well I do my best to understand dear
But you still mystify and I want to know why
I pick myself up off of the ground
I have you knock me backdown again and again
And when I ask you to explain you say
You've got to be cruel to be kind in the right measure
Cruel to be kind it's a very good sign
Cruel to be kind means that I love you
Baby you've got to be cruel to be kind
Baby you've got to be cruel to be kind
Cruel to be kind in the right measure
Cruel to be kind it's a very good sign
Cruel to be kind means that I love you
Baby you've got to be cruel to be kind

FOOL FOR YOU
Words & Music by Lee Kosmin & Ian Gomm
Can't you tell that you're breaking my heart in two
You just say that you've got other things to do
I just wish that I wasn't a fool for you
You don't love me me and there's nothing that I can do
I suppose I should look for somebody new
And I wish that I wasn't a fool for you
I don't know why I have these feelings no no
I don't know why I start to cry but I do
Yes it's true a fool for you
Can't you tell that you're breaking my heart in two
You just say that you've got better things to do
I just wish that I wasn't a fool for you
Time after time I have these dreamings
And then my thoughts they turn to you only you
Yes it's true a fool for you
Tell me that you want me once more
Show me that you'll open the door
I'm a fool for you
Can't you tell that you're breaking my heart in two
You just say that you've got better things to do
I just wish that I wasn't a fool for you
You don't love me me and there's nothing that I can do
I suppose I should look for somebody new
How I wish that I wasn't a fool for you

WHY DO WE HAVE TO MAKE FRIENDS ?
Words & Music by Ian Gomm
Why do we have to make friends
Why do we fall in love and why do we try it
Why do we lock it away
Just try and cover up cos' no one will buy it
Why are we wasting our time
Looking for what we know nobody is ever gonna find
Try a little bit harder for a little bit longer
I guess it isn't funny no it isn't funny
But we're stuck with it and we can't fight it
Oh it doesn't matter I guess it doesn't matter
That we're here today and we're never gonna find out
We're wasting our time
Looking for what we know nobody is ever gonna find
Try a little bit harder for a little bit longer
Though I'm getting sleepy just a little sleepy
I'll keep holding on yes just for a minute
Don't want to say it again but I can't figure out
The start and the finish
Why are we wasting our time
Looking for what we know nobody is ever gonna find
Try a little bit harder for a little bit longer
Why do we have to make friends
Why do we have to make friends

WAR OF WORDS
Words & Music by Bob Andrews & Ian Gomm
We need to reach a better understanding
You and me both have not been very candid
Why can't we keep to the truth
Every little word is a point defended
All of this time why have we pretended
What we want is easy to do
It's a war of words
Throwing sticks and stones right from the start
It's a war of words
We could write a book for broken hearts
I know that we'll always stay together
Nothing that's been said can take away the pleasure
That we've had whatever oh oh
It's a war of words
Throwing sticks and stones right from the start
It's a war of words
We could write a book for broken hearts
I don't want to see us end up like the others
Whatever we do whatever we do
Starting out as friends and ending up as lovers
Whatever we do whatever we do
We need to reach a better understanding
You and me both have not been very candid
Why can't we keep to the truth
It's a war of words
Throwing sticks and stones right from the start
It's a war of words
We could write a book for broken hearts

I WASN'T LOOKING FOR LOVE
Words & Music by Tommy Hamilton & Ian Gomm
When I said I loved you I meant that I loved you
And I still love you more each day
But I needed someone to hold and to hold me girl
And you were miles away and
I wasn't looking for love baby
I wasn't looking for love no oh
I wasn't looking for love darling
I wasn't looking for love
Every morning I'd wake up and pray for a letter
Each day I thought that you might call
Every night I would lie awake thinking about you
I needed someone here that's all and
I wasn't looking for love baby
I wasn't looking for love no oh
I wasn't looking for love darling
I wasn't looking for love
Now you call me saying please come over
But I'm no longer alone
When I said I loved you I meant that I loved you
And I still love you more each day
But I needed someone to hold and to hold me girl
And you were miles away and
I wasn't looking for love baby
I wasn't looking for love no oh
I wasn't looking for love darling
I wasn't looking for love

THE LOVE WE MAKE
Words & Music by Ian Gomm
The love we make is give and take
The longest hour has shown loves power
The games we play won't last always
It's not a dream what's happening
I can't figure out the reason why we parted
Both of us just left alone and broken hearted
I still really care there's no use in pretending
I don't want to see one more unhappy ending
The love we gave has been betrayed
One more mistake for heavens sake
Why can't we rebuild bridges we've been burning
Stop before we reach the point of no returning
Don't you think I'm right it could be so wrong
We can't throw away a love that's lasted so long
I know I can't stand one more unhappy minute
Waiting wishing hoping that we haven't finished
I still really care there's no use in pretending
I don't want to see one more unhappy ending
The love we make is give and take
The longest hour has shown loves power
The love we make the love we take
The love we make the love we take

CRAZY FOR YOU
Words & Music by Ian Gomm
Oh you you're breaking my heart
Tearing it up and pulling me apart
What can I do
I try and stop but I'm so in love with you
You put me down leaving me this way
Now I'm just sitting here wondering what to say
Cos oh baby I'm still crazy for you
Oh yes it's hurting my pride
I cover it up but it just can't be denied
With somebody new
Cos it's not right it's not really you
You break me up treating me so bad
And I just think about the good times that we had
Cos oh baby I'm still crazy for you
Cos you break me up leaving me this way
And I'm just sitting here what more can I say
Cos oh baby I'm still crazy for you
What can I do I try and stop but I'm so in love with you
You're breaking my heart tearing it up pulling me apart
Don't break it please lets make it
Girl you're breaking my heart

ALWAYS AND FOREVER
Words & Music by Ian Gomm
Always and forever you'll be in my dreams
Always and forever locked in my memories
I will hold on and treasure the moment we first touched
Cos' always and forever I can't forget your love
Always and forever you'll be close to me
Always and forever it was meant to be
I'll hold onto and cherish the moment we first met
Cos' always and forever I never will forget
We were childhood sweethearts two lovers from the start
How were we to know that we'd break in other's hearts
Always and forever you'll be in my dreams
Always and forever remembering each scene
I will hold on and treasure the first time that we touched
Cos' always and forever I can't forget your love
I'll hold onto and cherish the moment we first met
Cos' always and forever I never will forget
We were childhood sweethearts two lovers from the start
How were we to know that we'd break in other's hearts
Always and forever you'll be in my dreams
Always and forever locked in my memories
I will hold on and treasure the moment we first met
Cos' always and forever I never will forget
Cos' always and forever I never will forget
Cos' always and forever I'll never forget
Always and forever
Always and forever

HOW COULD LOVE LAST SO LONG ?
Words & Music by Bob Andrews & Ian Gomm
I used to think that love was a gamble
A game that I never could win
Watching my friends get into a tangle
They'd break up before they'd begin
This world's such a big place put a smile on your face
One look and I'm happy again cos' I've found a friend
Mind over matter feeling like this
How could love last last so long
Believe me when I tell you
How could love last last so long
Believe me when I tell you
I used to think that I was a loner
And one was the number for me
I never knew that two could be happy
But one look at you and I see
I know life's a rat race got such a fast pace
Slow down put a smile back back on everyone's face
Mind over matter time after time
How could love last last so long
Believe me when I tell you
How could love last last so long
Believe me when I tell you
How could love last last so long
Believe me when I tell you
How could love last last so long
Believe me when I tell you

IF ALL THE LOVE IN THE WORLD
Words & Music by Tommy Hamilton & Ian Gomm
I'll never ever love nobody as much as I love you
I like everything about you like everything you do
I want you with a fire that burns a brighter flame each day
I'm never ever going to give my heart like this again so tell me
If all the love in my heart can't make you stay
What is left for me yeh
If all the love in my heart can't make you stay
What is left for me
Now I've built my world around you don't tell me it's in vain
I believe we can recapture those happy days again
Just want to hold you in my arms and I'll kiss your tears away
I'll do anything it takes and more forever and always so tell me
If all the love in my heart can't make you stay
What is left for me yeh
If all the love in my heart can't make you stay
What is left for me
I can't believe I gave everything just to see you walk away
What does the future hold if love's so cruel
My heart is breaking body's aching
I'll never ever love nobody as much as I love you
I like everything about you like everything you do
I want you with a fire that burns a brighter flame each day
I'm never ever going to give my heart like this again so tell me
If all the love in my heart can't make you stay
What is left for me yeh
If all the love in my heart can't make you stay
What is left for me
If all the love in my heart can't make you stay
What is left for me yeh
If all the love in my heart can't make you stay
What is left for me

IT SOUNDS THE SAME
Words & Music by Steve Aparicio & Ian Gomm
It's getting late and the lights are low and I 'aint got nowhere to go
Lying listening to the radio but it just sounds the same
Why does it always end this way keep falling for the games you play
Don't you know the price I pay and oh I'm hurting so
If I could hold you in my arms tonight everthing will be alright
If I could hold you in my arms tonight right through to the morning
Chasing dreams but I can't find the way to get you out of my mind
Can't you see I've been wasting time and oh I'm going down slow
I want to hold you one more time again
Just want to see you 'cos tonight tonight I need a friend
Broken hearts will never mend but like for me there's trouble round the bend
You should know I can't pretend oh it's hurting me so
If I could hold you in my arms tonight everthing will be alright
If I could hold you in my arms tonight right through to the morning
I want to hold you one more time again
Just want to see you 'cos tonight tonight I need a friend
It's getting late and the lights are low and I 'aint got nowhere to go
Lying listening to the radio but it just sounds the same
It just sounds the same
It just sounds the same
It just sounds the same
