Friend - Angie Townsend & Steve Brown
Walk with me. Open my heart
An intimate look plays another part
It’s a friend
Good to be kind. Know who you are
Ask me to stay. Will it take us too far?
You’re just a friend
I never thought, I could trust anybody
After all I’ve been through I could use a little help
As a child I believed that the sun always shone
I was happy just believing that nothing was wrong
It can’t stay that way
It was good. Now it’s bad
Feel my head spinning round
Nobody’s there. I could scream not a sound
It’s not better that way
But I know you’re looking for an explanation
I know who you are
I know you’re looking for the answers baby
I know who you are
You’re a friend
I never knew I could need anybody
Last on my mind but I’m glad you’re still around
Staring out at the room. For the lie to begin
Looking for pity ‘cause the days never end
I can’t sleep at night
‘Cause the fear and the pain. No one helps you to cry
Never expected you’d be telling me why
I can’t sleep tonight
When you walk with me open my heart
Intimate look plays another part
It’s a friend
Good to be kind. Know who you are
Ask me to stay. Will it take us too far?
You’re just a friend
Release my emotion. Lift my head
Ask me the truth from the things we said
It’s a friend
So scared and unsure. Teach me to fly
Friends will laugh. Lovers will pay
You’re just a friend

Heartland - Angie Townsend & Steve Brown
Pain or pleasure
Your face your honesty
With a point of view
All over you
Safe in sanction
But the hour draws near
To your lover’s darkened room
You crawl into
Have you paid the price of sin?
I bet your momma doesn’t like it
Red light keeps you from coming home
Ladies waiting to tend to you
(Over) Over in the heartland
Teacher tell your students not to cry
They’re much too young to die
(Over) Over in the heartland
Morning after
Return the day of your innocence
In decline
I can’t help you
An addiction
Is a loneliness you leave on the telephone line
You’re on your own
In your secret world there’s no right or wrong
Does your conscience wake you up when she’s gone?
Stop pretending you’ve nothing to hide
Can’t you live without your lady?
Live without air

Trouble Again - Angie Townsend & Steve Brown
I have no answers
No solutions for you today
They have no right to criticise
A lust for life. A separate way
A mother’s ties a teenage hate for more control
Is love so scared that we will not allow what we don’t know
I can tell you all about it
Baby you know she’ll mean it
You’ve got it made
I’m taking the blame
‘Cause you’re in trouble, trouble again
It won’t let you go. I’m letting you know
That you’re in trouble, trouble again
My family life, I sacrifice
You give me trouble, trouble again
And someday soon you better change your tune
‘Cause you’re in trouble, trouble again
No independence. Will they ever understand?
Why take the blame for something? She’s never there to lend a hand
A child can ask no questions. Nothing’s ever clear
Your war torn heart is blindly looking for ways to get out of here

Nothing Lasts - Angie Townsend & Steve Brown
I think it’s time
I let you go
All of those empty lies, promises
I’ve watched the banner fall
You’re a fool. A fool to yourself
A cloud of innocence has left me with a smile for someone else
I’ve given all I can
It will not last forever
Your dreams are in your hands
Nothing lasts forever
I don’t want
To see you again
Amongst the guilt I hide, it hurts like hell
The cut inside me now!
Don’t ask. Don’t ask me to stay
This time you have to know
I cannot live your dreams for you anymore
I’ve given all I can
It will not last forever
Your dreams are in your hands
Nothing lasts forever
Can’t keep holding on this way
It will not last forever
I’ve said all I have to say
Nothing lasts forever
Forever
Held down who we really are
There’s more hurt when it goes this far
We don’t love each other. Don’t need each other
I can’t lie about the way I felt
Can’t help it if there’s someone else
Hell knows we tried
Yes, we really tried

Sooner or Later - Angie Townsend & Steve Brown
Temptation. An easy target
It’s a matter of fact
The secrets. A life of anguish
Better watch your back
Who’s asking? Who wants to know
The price on your head?
No one will listen and no one will hear all the screams
from the souls of the dead
Sooner or later
You’ll be breaking away
Sooner or later
That’s the price you’ll pay
The silence. Don’t talk to someone
Your life’s not your own
These faces. A million of them
Are you ever alone?
Who do you think you’re running to my friend?
In this world you have no hope. No hope
Will you live with the memory?
Can you give this to your children?
Take my hand. Take it now
The dust dies
Our heart is beating
Has it gone too far?
They want you
Forever running
Hell knows who you are

Little People - Angie Townsend & Steve Brown
I have to hand it to you
Leaving the picture shadowed into silence
An evil mind lies deep in your heart
Never mistaken.
Will your politics include the ruin of a nation?
Were you trying to be sincere?
We won’t listen.
We won’t disappear, now
How dare you close your eyes tonight?
You lay down your head.
Restless head
We will fight
The little people that you call.
Turn ahead
And lead us all
The little people you stand on.
Raise your hands
We will be as one
An echo across the Isle
A raging anger you never dreamed of
A feeling deep. So deep in your soul
Who are you fooling?
We are the generation you never cried for
The final curtain falls
Raise your anger.
Raise it all, and now!

Something For Nothing

Something for Nothing - Angie Townsend & Steve Brown
Every time I’m left alone
Images of a face I’ve known
come into play
Disciplined minorities can’t refuse emotions
Brought on lonely days
You believe in subtlety
I believe you make it what you like
Had my share of needless times
So I won’t let you take me through the night
Ah look into my eyes
Tell me it’s forever
Something for nothing
Take this lonely heart
Fill my soul with laughter
Something for nothing
Something for you
Something for you
Turn around and look at me
I’m about to sanctify my feelings
Having a hold on me
I’m a child whose mind will stay unopened
Can’t conceal it anymore
Why should we pretend to think it’s over?
Compromise our alibis
Leaving everything just as they were
But I don’t think we can
Calling me like a miracle
On a day when nothing changes
Who believes in anything in a world
That’s full of strangers
I don’t know

Lost Without Your Love - Angie Townsend & Steve Brown
Say you can see
Through all the anger deep inside of me
I let you read between the lines
And it scares be to the bone
To the bone
Making love together
Such a passion play
That internal fear that you’ve been leading me astray
Took you to the heaven of an innocent soul
Should I trust you lover?
Would you let me know?
Let me know
I’m lost without your love
Had more than enough
Lost without your love
Living without touch
Can’t you see
Don’t touch me
Say what you can
For I never felt so strong for any man
I let you break down the wall
I’ve been trying hard to hide
Hide behind
Still you touched me gently
Like you always do
In the shadow of sin
I succumb to you
Scared of losing everything.
It can’t be real
If you need me lover tell me how you feel
How you feel

Close My Eyes - Angie Townsend & Steve Brown
What is happening to make my body search for answers?
Am I wide awake in the lonely room?
Lying naked here I know to keep my inhibitions
You can never know the cry inside
The scream inside me
Close my eyes
I cannot face the hurt I hide
Close my eyes
To my own frustrations
Close my eyes
What I would give to make it right
Close my eyes
Don’t ask me why
Don’t say nothing at all
As a man you cannot know this certain desperation
You won’t wake at night to hear the call
Find it hard to hold control but in myself I have to
What I long for most.
It’s never time for this child of mine
Oh, oh, have you ever felt like you could be a father?
A father
Little piece of you and me
Oh so cold
I have never had such emptiness
I need you
To help me
Please understand this woman

Keep The Fire Burning - Angie Townsend & Steve Brown
Get in. Get out
You’re like a cold wind blowing from nowhere
Look in. Look out
At the world you’re living in
Too tired to put the embers back in the fire
Listen to me
You got to give it a try
Too busy running the whole damn show
Don’t even notice that I’m ready to go
Say you need a lover and you want me to stay
You better get onto it
You better believe it
Keep the fire burning
Any way you like
Keep the fire burning
Right into the night. Now!
Wanted. Wanted
A good looking lover like you baby
Needed. Needed
All the love you’re giving me
Too tired to put the embers back in the fire
Listen to me
You’ve got to give it a try
I won’t listen if you won’t change
Don’t think you realise that nothing’s the same
Say you need a lover and you want me to stay
You better get onto it
You better believe it

Take Me On - Angie Townsend & Steve Brown
They say it’s easy
To fall in love with someone
But strong emotion can mix you up inside
You don’t love her
Is that what you’re saying baby?
Then prove it to me before the fire dies
On you
I don’t care if you stay with her tonight
There’s nothing wrong in what we do
I don’t care if you stay with her tonight
Just come back and take me on
Oh, won’t you take, take me on, baby
She cries for you
Still you go running
That has to change if we’re to survive
Come hold my hand a while
Should we get closer?
When we make love is there a sacrifice?
I need to know
Listen to me baby
My heart bleeds for you
Oh hey yeah
Won’t you take me on, take me on

Follower - Angie Townsend & Steve Brown
Will you follow?
Too late. Too late for changes
Is the shadow round your heart a blood red stone?
And I will be waiting. I will be waiting
So hear me call
I’ve been a thousand places
Will you follow?
Captured the hearts of many
Will you be with me now?
I’ve been a thousand places
You belong to
A lesson I can remember
Will you be with me now?
Be with me
Too hard to say you’re forgiven
Is the shadow round your heart one of your own?
And I will be longing. I will be waiting
So hear me call
And I will be waiting. I will be waiting
Don’t stop changes in me now
Be with me now
Don’t you change me now
No!

Angel - Angie Townsend & Steve Brown
Choosing a life
Is gonna hurt you like a knife
They say it was easy
But what the hell went wrong? Oh
Playing your chances
You played your own hand
But who’s the fool you’re playing now?
It’s never that easy
I never said you were an angel
Just goes to show that somebody don’t know you at all
I never said you were and angel
Is that a tear I see in your eye?
So you say
You’ve got the strongest heart in town
Making friends with anyone
Who cares to turn your world around. No
Losing tomorrow
Will no one hear you cry?
A smile as another has gone
It’s never that easy
I never said you were an angel
Don’t tell me there’s nothing you want me to know. No, no
I never said you were an angel
I am the feelings you don’t really have to show. No, no, no
I never said you were an angel
Can’t stop you from laughing to the tear inside
I never said you were an angel
I can feel the look in your eye
Listen baby
I’ve been there before
‘Cause this is an angel that used to cry
Hell passed you by

Let Down - Angie Townsend & Steve Brown
Whoa, to be let down
Whoa, to be let down
Through my window I can see everything I wanna be
And anything that spoils my happy life
I will close my eyes to
Yeah this is the way that I want it to be
In a dream you can take it both day and night
I just don’t wanna - Be a fool anymore
I just don’t wanna be - Let down
I just don’t wanna be - Taken for a ride
I don’t wanna be let down
In the new face there is a difference I don’t wanna know
And changes I can’t compel to see
I’m looking down the long light
Is this really the place you don’t wanna go?
In a dream you can take it both night and day

Wake Up - Angie Townsend & Steve Brown
I can sense your warm persuasion
Wrapped up in your mind
Much too close. A heart beating faster
Leaving me behind
Is this all of your untamed adventure
Caught up in your youth
I can feel your desire, and I, I want to
Wake up
Don’t close your eyes
Wake up
Wake up
Am I wasting my time tearing the heart out of you?
Falling inside do your feelings await
The breadth of a smile
A kingdom’s glory to the power
You can’t deny
Hear you calling out of the dark
Open up my eyes
I am the key to your desire, and I, I want to
Wake up
Don’t close your eyes
Wake up
Wake up
Is it all I can do to hang onto you baby?
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
(Wake up)
Am I wasting my time tearing the heart out of you?
Wake up
Don’t close your eyes
Wake up
Wake up
Is it all I can do to hang onto you baby?
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
(Wake up)
Am I wasting my time tearing the heart out of you?
