Cliff Richard - Under the gun

Cliff Richard - Under the gun

Looking at baby's face I saw the plight of the
Human race
Dying to survive
Shaken by the irony the anger rose inside of me
And would not, would not subside
I thought you're too young to understand
That the fate of every mortal man
Rests in someone's mortal hand tonight
In the nuclear insanity there's a death watch
On the land and sea
And I believe that we may never live our lives

We were born under the gun and just like
Every mother's son
We are hostage to the megaton and the world
Could die tonight
Under the gun, we live in fear that the end
Will come
But there's one place to run
Run to the son

Everyone can see that the hour is late
And every soul on earth got to demonstrate
Their loving if we're to survive
'cos we're tired of living on the brink
Scared to death that our ship will sink
At the winking of an eye
This course we're on's a big mistake

'cos we all lose in the nuclear race
It's time to show all the heads of state that we
Believe
Yes we believe that we're fighting for our lives
We were born under the gun and just like
Every mother's son
We are hostage to the megaton and the world
Could die tonight
Under the gun, we live in fear that the end
Will come
But there's one place to run
Run to the son

There's a finger on the button but if it's
Pressed we're not forgotten
Millions speak, feel no fear
The mood to change is in ascendance here
There's a finger on the button but if it's
Pressed we're not forgotten
Millions speak, feel no fear
The mood to change is in ascendance here
There's a finger on the button but if it's
Pressed we're not forgotten
There's a finger on the button but if it's
Pressed we're not forgotten

Cliff Richard - Up In The World

Cliff Richard - Up In The World

You've come up in the world
And it's all to your credit
You made something of your life
like you always said you would
But what ever happened to
The girl I used to know
And all those halcyon days of love?

You've come up in the world
And it's such a shame
You made success of a dream
but it seems so empty now
With your weak excuses and
Your condescending ways
And all too frequent nights - alone.

(STRINGS INTERLUDE)

I've come down in the world
And it's all to your credit
You made something of my life
but you've thrown it all away
For your books and your fancy talk
Your new found friends and all
Your theories on mankind - and society.

Cliff Richard - Voice In The Wilderness

Cliff Richard - Voice In The Wilderness

Got no bags and baggage to slow me down
I'm travelling so fast my feet ain't touching the ground
Travellin' light, Travellin' light,
Well I just can't wait to be with my baby tonight.

No comb and no toothbrush, I've got nothing to haul
I'm carryin' only, a pocket full of dreams, a hand full of love
and they weigh nothing at all

Soon I'm going to see that love look in her eyes
I'm a hoot and a holler away from paradise
Travellin' light, Travellin' light,
I just can't wait to be with my baby tonight.

No comb and no toothbrush, I've got nothing to haul
I'm carryin' only, a pocket full of dreams, a hand full of love
and they weigh nothing at all

Soon I'm going to see that love look in her eyes
I'm a hoot and a holler away from paradise
Travellin' light, Hmmnn..
Well I just can't wait to be with my baby tonight.
Hmmnn... (fade)

Cliff Richard - The water is wide

Cliff Richard - The water is wide

The water is wide I can't cross over
And neither have I got wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and i

Oh love is gentle and love is kind
The sweetest flower when first it's new
But the only love never waxing cold
Is the love he offers to me and you

Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and i

There's a ship and she sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
And even deeper than the love I'm in
If I step on board then our love begins
Got to step on board let our love begin
(water is wide and I've got to cross over)

Cliff Richard - We Say Yeah

Cliff Richard - We Say Yeah

Mummy says no
Daddy says no
Brother says no
But they all got to go

(Refrain)
‘Cause we say yeah (yeah-yeah)
We say yeah (yeah-yeah)
We say yeah (yeah-yeah)
We say yeah (yeah)

If we didn't go ahead
And thought of all they said
Might as well give up, man
We might as well be dead

(Ref.)

Now we're moving to the front, baby
We'll sing another song
The older ones, they taught us
They're all dead and gone
(refrain)

We'll aim for the sky
And keep on shooting high
Forget about those problems baby
Don't just sit and sigh

(refrain)

(Instr.)

Umm, now mummy says yeah
And daddy says yeah
My brother says yeah
Maybe they're not so square

We all say yeah (yeah-yeah)
We all say yeah (yeah-yeah)
We say yeah (yeah-yeah)
We say yeah (yeah)
