Cliff Richard - The Next Time

Cliff Richard - The Next Time

They say I'll love again someday
that truer love will come my way the next time
But after you there'll never be a next time for me
They say that I'll find happiness
in someone else's warm caress the next time
I'll soon forget your kiss and heartaches such as these
Or just be ancient history.

They say that I'm a fool to weep
that I won't fo on losing sleep the next time
And someone else will mend the heart you've broken in two.
(But) How can I fall in love the next time?
When I'm still so very much in love with you.

They say that I'm a fool to weep
that I won't fo on losing sleep the next time
And someone else will mend the heart you've broken in two.
(Oh) How can I fall in love the next time?
When I'm still so very much in love with you.

Cliff Richard - The night

Cliff Richard - The night

It's in the night,
That I get that lonesome feeling
Oh, the troubles of the day
Come rushing into my mind.

It's in the night
That I start to think about you
And this ache that's in my heart
Gets stronger as time goes by.

Morning brings relief from misery
I even manage a smile for friends I see
Darkness falls and then the shades of night
Reach out for me and try to hold me tight.

And drag me down, down, down,

And then once more
The night and you enfold me
And I'm caught in the web
That you spun when we first fell in love.

I can't forget
The way you used to hold me
Will this memory of our love
Keep haunting me
Until the day I die.

Solo

Morning brings relief from misery
I even manage a smile for friends I see
Darkness falls and then the shades of night
Reach out for me and try to hold me tight.

And drag me down, down, down,
And drag me down, down, down, down, down.

Cliff Richard - The nightmare

Cliff Richard - The nightmare

I have a burden of pure vengeance
That i was damned with from my birth
And it will the force that drives me
Until the day i quit this earth

You live by treachery and violence
And they will crush you in return
Your destruction is my pleasure
Your spite the fire in which you burn

I'm the true son of our father
And i am lord of wuthering heights
Burn in hell, you filthy gypsy
Share the fate of parasites

I did not love you isabella
You were the means to other ends
I always knew our ailing offspring
Would never pay me dividends

I used to long for you to kill me
But now i wish you death instead
I gave you all this woman could do
I was raped, abandoned, all feelings dead

Spineless edgar, feeble edgar
Catherine wanted only me

I was constant, i was tender
All that you could never be

There's a time for absolution
There's a time for true regret

I knew the envy of a family
Which was so easy to destroy
But oh my cathy not so easy
To be the one you could enjoy

I cannot rest in peace without you
And you could never comprehend
My cold and angry isolation
I wait for you brother, lover, friend

Death it beckons, sister, lover
All i see is your sweet face

Whether man or whether devil
Still the love i can't replace

There is a time for absolution
There is a time for true regret
There is a time to beg forgiveness
But the time is here not yet

I curse the god or man that made me
I curse the life i had to lead
I curse the years ahead without her
I curse my hunger, i curse my need

Cliff Richard - Nine Times Out Of Ten

Cliff Richard - Nine Times Out Of Ten

Nine times out of ten, baby, I've told you
And I ain't gonna tell you just nine times again
Aah, just how much I aim to hold you
Again and again and again

Little girl, it's nine times out of ten, you've refused me
And then say that you refuse me nine times again
But I won't stop until you choose me
Again and again and again

(Well,) don't try to fight it
‘Cause it's no use
You're gonna find that
I'm stubborn as a doggone mule

Nine times out of ten I've tried to kiss you
And I ain't trying just nine times again
Well, if I missed the nine times that I've tried, baby
I'll bet my life, I'll get you on number ten

(instr break)

Well, don't try to fight it
Come, baby, it ain't no use
You're gonna find that
I'm stubborn as a doggone mule

Nine times out of ten I've tried to kiss you
And I ain't trying just nine times again
Well, if I missed the nine times that I've tried, baby
I'll bet my life, I'll get you on number ten

Cliff Richard - No power in pity

Cliff Richard - No power in pity

I don't know how to love you.
Where do I begin.
It helplessness is sinning
Then here I am a sinner
Guilty of sin.

I don't know how to help you
Your trouble goes so deep
You're about to lose your life
And here I am dejected
'cos I love a night of sleep.

Love one another you said
Come together as one.
I'm just a servant, lord
Yet you made me a son
Sometimes I'm troubled
By the things you make me see.
But no matter how I feel, lord
Here am I send me.

So I leave the world behind me
And enter this domain.
I'm staggered by the gulf
Between us.
I can see your sickness
But I don't feel your pain.

Pity's got no power
Compassion has the heart
Jesus, keep me mindful
That it's you who does the
Giving.
And it's we who need to
Play our part.
