One Man, One Woman

 

No smiles, not a single word at the breakfast table
though I would have liked to begin
so much that I wanna say, but I feel unable
you leave and you slam the door
like you’ve done many times before
and I cry and I feel so helpless

One man, one woman two friends and two true lovers
somehow we’ll help each other through the hard times
one man, one woman one life to live together
one chance to take that never comes back again
you and me ’til the end

Outside I can see the sun through the open window
inside everything feels so cold
what’s wrong
what is happening,
where did all our love go
sometimes when I just can’t cope
I cling to a desperate hope
and I cry and I feel like dying

One man, one woman two friends and two true lovers
somehow we’ll help each other through the hard times
one man, one woman one life to live together
one chance to take that never comes back again
you and me 'til the end

Daydreams of a better life, but I have to wake up
–the sound of a key in the door
you smile and I realise that we need a shake up
our love is a precious thing
worth the pain and the suffering
and it’s never too late for changing

One man, one woman two friends and two true lovers
somehow we’ll help each other through the hard times
one man, one woman one life to live together
one chance to take that never comes back again
you and me ’til the end

 

 

Hole In Your Soul

 

You feel bad let me tell you
we all get the blues

sometimes life is a burden

way down in your shoes
when it’s bad, worse, worst

and you think you’re cursed
well, if there’s one thing for the better

that can turn you loose

It’s gotta be rock ’n roll

to fill the hole in your soul
there’s gotta be rock ’n roll

to fill the hole in your soul

My friend Sam is a chauffeur

Annie goes to school
Jerry works at the office

Sue lies by the pool

but on all week-ends

when I meet my friends

and we’re lookin’ ’round
for the action we sure play it cool

It’s gotta be rock ’n roll

to fill the hole in your soul
there’s gotta be rock ’n roll

to fill the hole in your soul

Aha, you paint your world and use all colours
aha, and then you find it all comes out too bright

you know it’s only a lie
aha, the songs you sing are too romantic
aha, and when you want the truth

they only spit in your eye
oh yeah, they’re only tellin’ you lies
oh yeah, there’s gotta be rock ’n roll

to fill the hole in your soul

You feel bad let me tell you
we all get the blues

sometimes life is a burden

way down in your shoes
when it’s bad, worse, worst

and you think you’re cursed
well, if there’s one thing for the better

that can turn you loose

It’s gotta be rock ’n roll

to fill the hole in your soul
there’s gotta be rock ’n roll

to fill the hole in your soul

 

It’s gotta be rock ’n roll

to fill the hole in your soul
there’s gotta be rock ’n roll

to fill the hole in your soul
