Who'll pick up the pieces and help the fool cry? For love lost in laughter, the smile hides the pain Time-out for the fool is a lonely refrain Coping Words & music by Sue Dunlop I'm coping - making love to my beer. I'm hoping no-one sees my fear I'm feeling very fragile, my confidence is shattered, But you're not to see how much I hurt, or know how much you mattered I'm sinking - I need a bit more booze I'll keep drinking - obliterate the blues The pain's not getting any less, I think it's getting worse If only I could rid myself of this insidious curse I'm drowning - I need another drink I'll keep clowning - then I won't have to think You've gone and all that's left behind is a bloody gaping hole I'm fighting a losing battle to keep some self-control Still hurting - it hasn't eased the pain That's for certain - it treats me with disdain If only it would help, ease my misery So I'm making love to my beer while it's fucking me YOUR FUTURE'S IN THE WINGS Words & music by Sue Dunlop You've wrapped the past around you like a well worn jacket But there's hooks and barbs caught in the cloth They stab and tear at your flesh and keep the painful memories fresh And you're scared of being hurt, and you're scared of being hurt And you're scared of being hurt, and you're scared of being... You're scared of being, you're scared Past is where we've come from, but it isn't where we're going Take a bold and brave step forward There's no future in the pain - take a risk - stand in the rain But you're scared of being cold, and you're scared of being cold And you're scared of being cold, and you're scared of being... You're scared of being, you're scared... Your future's in the wings, waiting for your cue Take that one step forward. That's all you have to do Take that one step forward. That's all you have to do Take that one step forward. That's all you have to That's all you have to, that's all ... you have to do TO HELL WITH HEAVEN Words & music by Sue Dunlop I was raised as a Catholic we were taught to sacrifice No meat on Fridays and in Lent we had to give up something nice We had to go to confession, do our penance, get on our knees & pray Cos we were born as sinners & we'll be so until the judgment day They said we're born as sinners & we'll be so until the judgment day I grew up in confusion but was saved when I had a revelation Didn't need to call the army cos I found my own salvation Call it Heaven, Valhalla or Nirvana they're all a sacred cow I said to hell with heaven in the next life - I want heaven now To hell with heaven in the next life - I want heaven now I was taught to be patient - good things come to those who wait And though patience is a virtue I say deprivation is a waste My life's no rehearsal, make the most of what's here now So - to hell with heaven in the next life - this is heaven now I said - to hell with heaven in the next life - this is heaven now I'M NOT HER Words & music by Sue Dunlop I know that she hurt you She used you then left you Now you're insecure, You're not really sure If I'm like her, I might treat you like she did But I'm not her. There's pain in your eyes Is this truth or lies? Your hurt cannot heal 'til you trust what you feel And I'm not her; I won't treat you like she did I'm not her And I'm not her, I won't treat you like she did, I'm not her You're defensive tonight; you're expecting a fight But with my kind of love, I've got better ways to excite ... you And I'm not her, I won't treat you like she did I'm not her There isn't a price There's no sacrifice There's nothing to pay I don't work that way And I'm not her, I won't treat you like she did I'm not her. I will hold you when you weep And I'm not her. I will hold you when you sleep And I'm not her ... And together we will keep - together we will keep - together - keep together - keep together BETTER THAN NORMAL Words & music by Sue Dunlop They say I'm not normal - they tell me I'm queer (god forbid!) Cos I live by my heart and I'm not ruled by fear Some say it's a waste - I say it's not Who wants to be normal and lose such a lot? Chorus:. I don't want to be normal I'm me And that's better than normal - I'm free Yeah I'm free to live as I please And that's better than normal - I'm me I don't want to be censured, don't want to be tamed Don't want to live my whole life mute and constrained Some say it's a shame I could have so much more Who wants to be normal it seems such a bore? Chorus To give up the chance to be happy and gay Hey it's not something I would consider today I've spent many years trying hard to conform I think I'd be mad to come down to the norm Chorus OLD LOVERS, NEW FRIENDS Words & music by Sue Dunlop Love's light rides in on the moon We're alone with the night And though we're playing a forbidden tune We'll make believe it's alright It's alright for tonight We'll believe it's alright Cos one glance from you and I melt One touch leaves me gasping for air I tremble at the sound of your voice And long for a love we can share BRIDGE We should have been wise, we should have been brave We should've resisted what our whole beings craved Our heads said no and our hearts said yes And our bodies cried out for the love we made So now we're trying to be just good friends We know we can't be lovers again It's a journey made rough by the path that we chose Old feelings suppressed are still easily exposed Cos one glance from you and I melt One touch leaves me gasping for air I tremble at the sound of your voice And long for a love we can share Old lovers - new friends. - old habits die hard Old lovers new friends - can I see you again Can I touch you again - can I hold you again Can I ....kiss ..... The Final Sequel Words & music by Sue Dunlop I'm working on a movie - I've thought about it lots It'll be a real blockbuster with a plot to end all plots It'll have a cast of thousands, superstars and all And it'll be the end of the Hollywood sequel Willy was a whale - kept in captivity They freed him once, they freed him twice, them came Free Willy Three But now I'm on a mission, Willy's gonna eat wild krill But then he'll have to die to prevent another sequel Now Willy's in the ocean where he meets up with Jaws They feast on the Titanic and sink to the ocean floor Speed 2 is on the surface, collides with Thunderbird 4 It's no go for Little Joe 90, as they sink to the ocean floor Indiana Jones is in Jurassic Park He's looking for the Lost World, but instead finds Noah's Ark He takes it for a trip with some passengers on board King Kong, T-Rex and the Lion King all sink to the ocean floor Rocky sees the light, Mad Max calls it a day Then they find each other - in Passion Bay They turn vegetarian, become Zen Buddhist Monks Then turn tail and set sail with a fleet of Chinese Junks Honey shrunk the kids and hid them in the trunk And when the car flew over the cliff it sank a Chinese junk Thelma and Louise just couldn't take no more They sunk with the junk and the kids in the trunk down to the ocean floor There's a rumbling in the air, star ships fly through the skies The Millenium Falcon, Close Encounters and the Enterprise But here comes Mary Poppins, she hasn't seen the fleet The collision is quite messy as they sink to Neptune's feet The seabed starts to shake as tectonic plates collide The credits start to roll as the tidal waves subside Kevin Costner sees potential - it's his dream come true He's gonna make my movie - and call it Waterworld 2 SO CLEVER Words & music by Sue Dunlop Peeling back the layers To find a battered heart So cleverly disguised In the lightness of dark Crafted stained glass windows Hide the tortured souls So cleverly betrayed By the truth they've been told Chorus: Hidden doorways, without handles Darkened hallways, unlit candles Hail Mary, take my hand And lead me from this promised land Cryptic clues flirt by me On a map of a path never crossed So cleverly misled Finding yourself lost Repeat Chorus The pieces are all packaged It's a cargo bound for hell No guilty sins confessed, no guilty sins confessed, no guilty sins confessed... By the infidel Repeat Chorus The album has been produced by DALLIN PRODUCTIONS.
