Bull by the Horns

Here comes another day
Don't let this one slip away.
The time has come to take the bull by the horns
The time has come to take the bull by the horns


Come on, take a chance
Make something of your life at last.
And tomorrow, won't you come up and see me?
Maybe tomorrow you will fall in love with me...


* * *
Come on let's go somewhere
No reason to be scared.
You never know, maybe I could surprise you.
You never know, maybe I could inspire you.
The time has come to take the bull by the horns.

How can you say it doesn't affect you?
How can you say it doesn't bother you?
How can you say it makes no difference at all?

If Lady doesn't like it, Lady doesn't take it lying down,
no if Lady doesn't like it she doesn't take it lying down.

* * *
Why don't you say what's on your mind?
Why don't you lay down the law to her?
Why don't you say you just won't take it any more?

If Lady doesn't like it, Lady doesn't take it lying down,
no if Lady doesn't like it she doesn't take it lying down.

Bird on the Air

You get up and leave me, just like a bird on the air.
Footloose and fancy free, just like a bird on the air.
Life will never be the same.


You get up and leave me.
You say you don't need me.
Never want want to see me... not any more.


* * *
Seems only yesterday, we were one me and you.
I gave myself to you, body and soul - what a fool.
Life will never be the same.



You get up and leave me.
You say you don't need me.
Don't ever want want to see me... not any more.
Don't even want to hear of me... not any more.

A jasmine sunset reminds me
of the friends we used to see.

Jasmine at sunset reminds me
of the friends I used to see.

* * *
A thousand seagulls reminds me 
of the friends I used to see.

One thousand seagulls reminds me 
of the friends I used to see.

* * *
'Come in to my parlour'
said the spider to the fly.
'Come in to my open arms - I will never let you go'.
