Pockets 03:40
Could it be? Could it be? Could it be? You walk with your hands in your pockets with me Could it be, could it be? That you're conscious all the time That your hand wasn't reaching mine So you walk with your hands in your pockets with me? You walk with your hands in your pockets with me Could it be, could it be? That you're relaxed and free And easy in my company So you walk with your hands in your pockets with me? You walk with your hands in your pockets with me Could it be, could it be? That you can't stand to even touch my hand So you walk with your hands in your pockets with me? Or that between your knuckles you've stashed a key and pretty soon you're gonna lash out at me so you walk with your hands in your pockets with me? You walk with your hands in your pockets with me Could it be? You walk with your hands in your pockets with me What happened … to you with me?

Wrong! 02:56
See you swanning down the street You just attention-seek Looking like the real deal Looking ready to seal the deal To all intents and purposes You seem for what it's worth Ready to give what we deserve But it's a dangerous dish you serve Chorus: And this is just wrong on so many levels You're looking like an angel, behaving like a devil And this is just wrong on so many levels, yeah And now 20 years have gone And everybody else has moved on You're trapped in the mind of a teen You still think you're the dancing queen And at the school reunion Put on the old school uniform DIrty dancing, feeling naughty Dressed like a school-girl when you're nearly 40 Chorus

Step by Step 03:42
Step by step we piece ourselves back together again We can retrace to where we were before it all began Like the pawn moves across the board one square at a time We can take it day by day 'til we reach the other side Chorus: Step by step and side by side Hand in hand across the divide Step by step and stone by stone We don’t have to be alone Step by step we keep ourselves from falling apart We can rebuild piece by piece to make a brand new start Like the sea erodes the stone one grain at a time We keep putting our next foot forward 'til the mountain is climbed Chorus

This morning everything was fine You took your normal path and I took mine We could wish for nothing more, we had nothing else to need A perfect picture of a perfect dream Chorus: Then in the blink of an eye everything's changed The fabric has crumbled, the pieces rearranged How can so much change in such a short passage of time? Is it really that easy to cross that line? 'Til this morning everything was going great I never said goodbye 'cos I was running late But I thought of all the good times we could have later on But when I got home you were gone Chorus

Indebted 03:06
Is it selfish to stop giving? Is it better to have never given at all? Is it wrong to want to start living When you hear your future call? Chorus: 'Cos when push came to shove Well I'm sorry, I just had to go So how can I repay the debt? And how much do I owe? Was it naive to think that These life choices are easy to decide With logic and with reason, Emotions put aside? Chorus Is it prudent to keep talking Or does it just rub salt into the cut? Do I ask too many questions? Will you say when you've had enough? Chorus

I was young, it was my very first time Held down as he whispered “Now you're blessed” The shame the blame, the hushed up crime A baby in me, a cuckoo in our nest Chorus: She wears her tears all day She wears her tears like make up And she's stopped feeling their rain Splashing circles in her tea cup. She says “My name is Mary, let me explain.” He was always such a strange child Restless spirit, restless mind Always searching for his father Afraid of what he might find Chorus I always tried to be a good mother Tried to teach him wrong from right But he turned his back upon me When he stood by his father's side. Chorus
7.
Well soon it will be time to say goodbye It's been such a good time We've seen lots of good times together But soon no longer But as one door closes, another door opens Yes as one door closes, another door opens The end of an era is the start of another The end of an era is the start of another Goodbye, goodbye, You've been good to me Goodbye, my friend, goodbye, You've been good But as one door closes, another door opens One door closes, another door opens And the end of an era is the start of another The end of an era is the start of another
