“Forever Fresh!” Songs, Lyrics & Players
At The Rock Club (2:56)
Kicking back the rain I go walking downtown
Looking through the papers just to see who’s in town.
There’s a bar on the corner as I go stumbling in
There’s a man on the stage and he looks like a friend.
At the Rock Club
Standing in the crowds as I’m singing out songs
Everything’s in motion, this is where I belong!
There’s a girl near my table but I don’t know her name
She says “that’s all right now, I’ll dance just the same! Dance! Dance!”
At the Rock Club
So many people watching the show
So glad I’m here now I know where to go
The place is jumping I don’t wanna go home!
Wherever you’re rockin’ all over this world
You’ll find a lot of places where the boys meet the girls
Put your mind to the music and let those feelings begin
You can come back tomorrow and do it again.
At the Rock Club

This Is It (2:56)
Baby this is it
I’ve got a feeling and I’m not gonna quit
Baby this is all there is.
I really wish that you could see
Of all the things that you mean to me
Baby this is all there is.
Always owing some other guy
Does he look in your eyes?
Does he see the same things that I do? You!
Baby this is it
I’ve got a feeling and I’m not gonna quit
Baby this is all there is.
The seasons change and don’t come back
Pick up the pace and flow with that
Feelings when we’re near
I love the things that you whisper in my ear
Baby this is all there is.
Always owing some other guy
Does he look in your eyes?
Does he see the same things that I do? You!
Baby this is it
I’ve got a feeling and I’m not gonna quit
Baby this is all there is.
This is all there is

I Feel Strange (3:02)
There’s nobody to hear if what you’re saying is clear.
‘Cause there is no one around who can echo the sound.
I feel strange, I feel strange, I feel strange …
We needn't travel so far to simple places where we are.
But isolation is pain. I’m hoping that it will change.
I feel strange, I feel strange, I feel strange …
Time tunnel stillness. Floating out of my room.
Giving way to the future. Like familiar cartoons.
Run away from the past. Nothing there ever lasts.
Look ahead to the new. Time is waiting for you.
I feel strange, I feel strange, I feel strange …

A.M. Romance (2:47)
She starts her day with A.M. Romance, God, it’s 5 o’clock!
She hears her lover say “Good morning!” from a tiny box.
He gives her love in the morning. But she wishes he’d wait till the evening time.
AM Romance - Something to pass the day.
She makes her way to work, by now it must be 9 o’clock.
She turns the knob to hear his voice, it puts her back on top.
She knows it’s only a fantasy but he runs away with her heart.
AM Romance - Love across the waves.
Though he may just be a make-believe affair, at least she knows he’ll always be there.
So now she’s home and making dinner wishing he were here.
She reaches for the dial that puts a new voice in her ear.
He’s not at all like the other one but she likes the sound that she’s hearing now.
AM Romance - Programming subject to change.
She listens as she’s getting ready for her thoughts to sleep.
For dreaming of the next day’s dawning gives her soul relief.
She can’t wait for the morning ‘cause her lover’s only a few hours away!
AM Romance - Love across the waves
Across the waves …

Above Suspicion (3:18)
She crosses the floor at right angles. Sizing him up with every smile.
He’s got his wits (She’s got those eyes). The only keys to their disguise.
Sometimes he wonders who she stays in shape for.
But when he asks, she turns him down.
Their lives are like a serial episode - Churning forward, spinning around.
‘Cos they’re above suspicion. They’re above suspicion.
They’re above suspicion, escaping their conviction.
They’re playing the game of a lifetime
But danger stands at every turn
He sees a chance (She takes his hand)
Identities must not be learned.
They watch the shadows move from side to side, as tension screams into the night.
The clock is counting out the seconds now, but they don’t feel they have to hide.
‘Cos they’re above suspicion. They’re above suspicion.
They’re above suspicion, escaping their conviction.
Well suddenly he looks over at her at thinks, “Gosh, how can I trust her? We just met!”
And she’s looking at him and thinking the very same thing!
But they know one thing – (“What?”) - They like each other.
And as long as they play their cards right, no one will ever find out!
‘Cos they’re above suspicion. They’re above suspicion.
They’re above suspicion, escaping their conviction.

Find Ourselves (3:38)
You put your image up on the screen and you never take it down
We speak our words in indelible sentences sharply forming sounds.
We’re headed for some danger, we don’t know what the answer is
We don’t know what the questions are, we don’t know where to find ourselves
You can’t ignore the passion wave and you can’t neglect the crowd
We drift around the consequence but we never touch the ground.
We’re headed for some danger, we don’t know what the answer is
We don’t know what the questions are, we don’t know where to find ourselves
We’re finding no feelings (it’s not our concern)
There isn’t a meaning (there’s nothing to learn)
We find no reasons (we want to escape)
We take it for granted but is it too late?
We take it from your view (you see what we get)
We stare at the picture (and turn up the set)
We still find no meanings (we want to escape)
You take it for granted but is it too late?
You put your image up on the screen and you never take it down
We speak our words in indelible sentences sharply forming sounds.
We’re headed for some danger, we don’t know what the answer is
We don’t know what the questions are, we don’t know where to find ourselves

Simple Love (2:46)
Walking down the avenue with a special feeling that I get from you
It’s wonderful to be alive and feel so free.
Being with you through the best of times
I’m hoping that you’ll always be mine and sharing all the loving times that you do with me.
So now that we’re reaching and we’re touching the stars at night
Your reflection in my eyes makes me want to start setting my sights.
Now the birds are singing in the sky
They may not be perfect but still they fly
And as long as we’re together we can search for the best of things.
Making music with our hearts as one
I feel so happy when we’re having fun
I’m waiting for the simple pleasures that our love will bring.
So now that we’re reaching and we’re touching the stars at night
Your reflection in my eyes makes me want to start setting my sights.

Survival (3:13)
They put you through the ringer and you still come out alive
To keep running through this life it seems,
You’ve got to learn what it takes to survive
Oooh, what it takes to survive!
You gotta watch those politicians that try to tell you what to choose
When all they ever really do is flash a smile and turn the screw
Oooh, what it takes to survive!
We’re doing our best but we can’t get no rest
It’s in our belief. We just want relief.
And - It’s playing their game that makes it seem so strange
They think it’s a lot, but you know it’s now.
Living with your city dream can make you surely lose your mind
But they tell me even a loser, baby, has got to win out some of the time
Oooh, what it takes to survive!
Damn you Ayatollah and all the fascist powers that be!
Well you can keep your country under thumb, but brother don’t you tread on me!
Oooh, what it takes to survive!

Rainy Day (4:17)
So what do I care if the sun don’t shine?
I’m just sitting here with time.
And as the clouds collect, I’ll draw my blinds
I’ll be OK, I’ll be just fine.
And it’s a rainy day, guess I’ll just dream away
Yes, it’s a rainy day without you
The winds blow the people on the streets below
As if they didn’t know where to go
The cars and the buses all move real slow
Seems like a film from long ago.
And it’s a rainy day, guess I’ll just dream away
Yes, it’s a rainy day without you
It’s funny how the rain puts things in black and white
Beleaguered by a rampage that goes on overnight
And when you rise tomorrow you find it’s there again
Sometimes my piano seems to be my only friend.
So, what do I care if the sun don’t shine?
I’m just sitting here with time.
And as the clouds collect, I’ll draw my blinds
I’ll be OK, I’ll be just fine
And it’s a rainy day, guess I’ll just dream away
Yes, it’s a rainy day without you.
And it’s a fading song, guess I’ll just fade along
Even if the words are wrong, so boo-boo.

Don’t Look Back For Me (3:19)
Friday night and the evening’s young, looking forward to see
Me and you on the dancin’ floor, summer’s hot as we breathe
Tender lines on your face tonight make me wonder
Later on when the lights go down and the sky shakes with thunder
Early morning I’ll rise to give you leave.
I always wanted you night and day, I thought of you in my sleep
But when you told me you needed room, my heart just couldn’t believe
Parallel we can’t seem to make it together
Between our lives always the pain and bad weather
Within your crowd you won’t see me – no no!
Don’t look back for me, don’t look back for me
Don’t look back for me, don’t look back for me
I couldn’t read your signals then ‘cause I was too close to your heart
What I took for love was really fear, but I couldn’t tell them apart.
Now I’m sitting here missing you, your smiling face I won’t see
And I won’t give you my heart again, this time it’s coming with me
Now and then as you search your mind think of me there.
And I’ll remember those nights gone by when our love was in the air
Now it’s late and I must be on my way.
Don’t look back for me, don’t look back for me
Don’t look back for me, don’t look back for me

I Can Make You Happy (2:00)
I can make you happy before the show is over
If you will understand me girl.
Do you know what it means to feel helpless in your eyes?
The way I look into them tonight.
I’d like to know you better then we could talk together
Go hand in hand forever.
Why can’t you understand me girl?
You’ve got to feel the music
It’s got to take you there.
If you don’t want to know me, why do you stare?
These shining lights can blind you, but I know that you can see
If only you would talk to me.
I can make you happy …
[Mademoiselle]:
What is he saying? I don't understand a word!
I like the way he plays the guitar!
I hope he loves me!
What is he saying? What is he saying? I don't understand!
What is he saying?
I can make you happy before the show is over
If you will understand me girl.
Do you know what it means to feel helpless in your eyes?

Us (3:21)
Are you really happy now? You’re free that’s all you wanted.
Does it really matter that your soul is always haunted?
Remember how things used to be when you were mine?
Remember me and you, us.
Me and you, us.
You made your decision, there was nothing left to say
I just hope you’re happy now with no more games to play
Remember days of fun, the sun would always shine.
Remember me and you, us.
Me and you, us.
The times may change and you will open up your eyes
When you discover that there’s no use for you to hide.
Now you’re going back in time, you’re reeling through the years
But you won’t see me waiting there, you’d better dry your tears
Remember we were special people sharing love.
Remember me and you, us.
Me and you, us. Me and you, us. Me and you, us.

Gotta Move Away (3:05)
I woke up this morning my hair in my face
I played back my memory but it was erased
It seems I do nothing right
I wanna stay home tonight
But my landlady told me I gotta move away!
Gotta move away – yeah, yeah
Gotta move away – yeah, yeah
Gotta move away – yeah, yeah
I pulled on my trousers and crawled to the phone
I rang up my girlfriend but she wasn’t home
I don’t know just where I’ll go
I can’t think of anyone I know
I just can’t believe it, I gotta move away!
Gotta move away – yeah, yeah
Gotta move away – yeah, yeah
Gotta move away – yeah, yeah
I wish the landlady wouldn’t be so uptight
When after all, I’ve always treated her right
If she lets me stay, I promise, I’ll be real good
Or move into her place next week, if only I could
If only I could …
I moved in that weekend, she baked me a cake
She said don’t you worry now there’s no rent to pay
She said “We’ll get married real soon and we’ll start our own Baby Boom!”
I can’t wait to leave here, I gotta move away!
Gotta move away – yeah, yeah
Gotta move away – yeah, yeah
Gotta move away – yeah, yeah

One Desire (2:55)
The music’s pumping and the lights are wild
You make me move when I’m standing still
You’ve got the spirit of a newborn child
It’s in your magic, it’s in your feel.
One desire. One desire.
May sound crazy but it’s true
One desire is to dance with you.
My one desire.
My one desire.
Please understand me girl, you look so fine
I can’t believe I’m alone with you
Can’t take your image away from my mind
I think you know what I’m going through.
One desire. One desire.
May sound crazy but it’s true
One desire is to dance with you.
My one desire.
My one desire.
I’ve never held a girl so close before
You know how good it can be
With you I’m not quite so alone anymore
Stay with me. Dance with me.
My one desire.
My one desire.
One desire. One desire.
May sound crazy but it’s true
One desire is to dance with you.
My one desire.

Right To Know (4:09)
Caught up in your dreams of the day
Wheeling and dealing time will slip away
Reeling off your words in style
Living behind your frozen smile.
Now it’s our right to know
I don’t know why you can’t see
That it’s our right to know
I try so hard to believe you.
Riding on the coat tails of the days gone by
The stirring of the ashes settles in my eyes
It must be a sign of the times
Taking our cues from blind.
Now it’s our right to know
I don’t know why you can’t see
That it’s our right to know
I try so hard to believe you
Swimming in a bitter sea
It’s not where I’d prefer to be
I have to trust someone to tell me why
Telling me that it’s OK
That’s all I ever hear you say
You sing away the truth with lullabies
Standing on the edge of persistence
Calculating who will go the distance
But then it comes down to me and you
Knowing that what is ours we choose.
Now it’s our right to know
I don’t know why you can’t see
That it’s our right to know
I try so hard to believe you

Somebody needs you, Someone can help you
Tell me girl now what you say?
Don’t you throw all my dreams away!
Everyday I’m trying hard to make you stay.
Someone can help you, Somebody wants you
Somebody needs you, Someone can help you
Won’t you give it just one more chance?
Love can really help an old romance
Can’t you see your feelings are out of balance?
Someone can help you, Somebody wants you
Somebody needs you, Someone can help you

The Closer I Get (3:40)
You look at me. But what can I do?
You’re not free. I see him watching you to figure it out.
The closer I get to you
The more I like what I see
The closer I get to you
The closer I wanna be.
We make love. But only with our eyes.
It makes it tough. But it’s a fair disguise to carry out.
The closer I get to you
The more I like what I see
The closer I get to you
The closer I wanna be.
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do to have you
But I don’t like those games he makes us play
The feelings I get puts my heart to the test
For the words that I want to say
I can’t let go. I’ve got to make my move.
I want you to know. I’ve got to speak my news.
I’m letting it out!
The closer I get to you
The more I like what I see
The closer I get to you
The closer I wanna be.

Big Big Numbers (3:30)
I look into your eyes and I know it’s true
I hear your words but I don’t think that you do
You hide the things that you don’t want to know
Silly statements from the point of fact
Useless sentences and paragraphs.
You’re playing with big big big big numbers
You’re playing with big big big big numbers!
I heed the sounds coming from far away
The funny rhythms of games that you play
A token symbol of someone’s fantasy
Not much more to you than meets the ear
Simple static gestures voicing clear.
You’re playing with big big big big numbers
You’re playing with big big big big numbers!
Romance and fantasy
You believe what you want to believe
Being all that you can be
But is it all that you need?
I read the captions of your realities
To get the facts on your priorities
The dated copies all start to look the same
Motion lipless saying “I love you”
All the more demanding “Love me do”.
You’re playing with big big big big numbers
You’re playing with big big big big numbers!

Secret Place (3:33)
Deep within these walls I live
They give me strength I have to give
But I could stand these chains all right
If I can make it one more night.
I’ve got a secret place
I’ve got a secret place
I’ve got a secret place I can go
Nobody knows
At times it gets so dark in here
It seems as though I’ve disappeared
The shades are drawn, the lights go out
And no one hears my screams or shouts.
I’ve got a secret place
I’ve got a secret place
I’ve got a secret place I can go
Nobody knows
Do you know what it would be like hiding in a shell for all your life?
Now you turn your back and run away
Searching for the words you want to say.
So instead of going out to play
I think I’ll just stay home today
It feels too strange to be outside
What if the television weatherman lied?
I’ve got a secret place
I’ve got a secret place
I’ve got a secret place I can go
Nobody knows

She’s A Liar & A Spy (3:43)
She was on a big fact-finding mission
Revealing all her truth through inquisition
Combing through the files from my checkered past
She’s looking for some nonsense that will last.
She’s a Liar and a Spy!
Treading around throwing mud in your eye
She tells you what but never tells you why
She’s a Liar and a Spy! Oh yeah!
The methods of her game can be so distracting
Leaving us no chance of interacting
She follows through the chase ever so humble
Risking all her clues to makes you stumble
She’s a Liar and a Spy
Treading around throwing mud in your eye
She tells you what but never tells you why
She’s a Liar and a Spy! Oh yeah!
And there she goes now hot on the trail!
Playing detective so well
Well you can just waste your time for free
‘Cause you won’t get anything on me!
Tonight, the party was so well attended
Wrapping up her case the sport has ended
Now on her rambling way and straight to bed
A magistrate whose marbles have no head
She’s a Liar and a Spy!
Treading around throwing mud in your eye
She tells you what but never tells you why
She’s a Liar and a Spy!
She’s a Liar and a Spy!
Working her way through the FBI
She loves to laugh, but she hates to cry
She’s a Liar and a Spy! Oh yeah!

You Do (3:12)

And don’t you know why I feel lazy
When all you do is say something crazy and cute
Yeah you do.
You do …
Why must I go on waiting so long?
What are you trying to do?
And why do you pretend?
How can I get in?
Why don’t you see what I go through?

Terminally Hip (4:06)
She’s terminally pretty, she’s terminally hip
She’s terminally witty, she’s terminally hip
Ah … hip!
She tells you know one’s ever loved her, relationships don’t last
But she can’t see the future for the past
She needs to know the love of someone to make her feel all right
A touch to keep her warm all through the night.
She’s terminally pretty, she’s terminally hip
She’s terminally witty, she’s terminally hip
Is it me? Is it you? Is there anything at all that I could do?
And when she tells you she don’t love you remember it in stride
If she can’t learn to love you, she will hide
And as she sits the party’s over, the little girl’s alone
And she’ll be by herself tonight at home
She’s terminally pretty, she’s terminally hip
She’s terminally witty, she’s terminally hip
She’s terminally pretty, she’s terminally hip
She’s terminally witty, she’s terminally hip
There she goes and you know …

Missile Envy (3:19)
Watch the TV, read the news
Convinces me they’re not my views
There's people dying in the streets
Leaving spirits incomplete
If it’s life you love you can’t afford to waste
Missile envy!
As you turn to view each other face to face
Missile envy!
We burst the rainclouds, terminating future years
We pledge allegiance to the hate
Praying for our children’s sake
If it’s life you love you can’t afford to waste
Missile envy!
As you turn to view each other face to face
Missile envy!
Universal statements from earthbound men!
Trying to blind us all into their master plans!
Missile Envy, Missile Envy, (it’s only)
Missile Envy, Missile Envy
You murder me and I kill you
What happens then is we both lose
Why do so many take the chance?
‘Cause they can’t keep it in their pants
If it’s life you love you can’t afford to waste
Missile envy!
As you turn to view each other face to face
Missile envy!
Universal statements from earthbound men!
Trying to blind us all into their master plans!
Missile Envy, Missile Envy, (it’s only)
Missile Envy, Missile Envy …
