Happy Sad
lyrics by Peter Brown and Markiza Halim
music by Soft Touch
Here I am
Sitting happy sad
Waiting for you, waiting for you
Waiting for your love, waiting for a love that's made for two
Here I am
I just wanna let go
Tired of doing what the others do
I just wanna let go, I just wanna go with you
No-one will see us, lover
Only the sun, the stars and the sea
No-one will see us darling
There'll just be you and just be me
(spoken) I've got so much to say
I hope you'll listen, I hope you'll stay
I wanna take off all my covers
I want to play without the others
It seems to me you're a kindred spirit
There's love inside you please just give it
Here I am
Sitting Happy Sad
So impatient for you - ou - ou
Impatient for a love, impatient for a love that's real and true
Why do you hang back, sweet one
Don't you know it's our only chance
Real love doesn't come by eve ry day
Awakening enfolding in your dance
(spoken) I've got so much inside
Waiting to burst open wide
I wanna take off all my covers
I wanna love you like no other
I can see down the river of time
All your life is a light divine
Here I am
Sitting Happy Sad
So impatient for you - ou - ou
Impatient for a love, impatient for a love that's real and true
Here I am
Sitting happy sad
Waiting for you, waiting for you
Waiting for your love, waiting for a love that's made for two
Shelter
lyrics by Shahril Eashak Ismail
music by Soft Touch
I wanna be your shelter when the rain comes falling down
Wanna be your shoulder when the hard times come around
Wish I was there for you every time your afraid
Bag of wishful thinking - I guess you just can't wait
chorus:
Wouldn't want you to walk away
Wouldn't want you to hide your love from me, Baby
Heh, Darling it's the only way I see
Wanna be your lover won't you let me be
Heh, Honey life's an open road
Let's ride it out together
Together and forever
You say it doesn't matter - but it's easier said than done
Won't be any better when the game has begun
Life's never easy, that's how the saying goes
Don't wanna be crazy, come on and take it slow
chorus:
Strive for the future
With tears of pain and laughter
Won't be any other
Path for all the loosers
Hold back all the sorrow
Pleasure for tomorrow
And as the World grows older
We'll still have each other, yeah
solo & chorus

Wishful Thinking
lyrics by Markiza and Peter Brown
music by Soft Touch
In my mind I see you so vividly
Your dark eyes so dreamy and mild
I can hear your voice and the things you so often said
But it's not real
Only a vision in my head
'Cause you're not here and I know
Your love for me is dead
It's only wishful thinking yeah yeah
If I could have you back again
If only we could repeat those good times when
You were in love with me yeah (x 2)
Around my body when I go to sleep at night
I feel your arms so firm and tight
Excitement starts to rise I can almost reach those peaks
But it's not real
Only a space empty and bleak
'Cause you're not here and I know
It's only you I seek
Chorus: It's only wishful thinking...etc
In my heart there's a feeling so special
I only need to think of you
A feeling of joy spreads over me, over me, over again
But it's not real
Only a figment of my pain
'Cause you're not here and I know
Only memories remain
Chorus - then solo
But it's not real
Only a mad swing in my mood
'Cause you're not here and I know
It's doing me no good
Chorus...repeat last line: You were in love with yeah x 4

Lately
lyrics by Markiza Halim
music by Soft Touch
Lately I see
You've been avoiding me
Lately your eyes
They're only telling lies
You're acting all confused
Looking for some excuse
You're afraid I might be getting wise
Lately we talk
You just break into sighs
Lately we try
But all the passion dies
You're not treating me right
We never make it through the night
Something tells me it's time to say goodbyes
Don't think I can't smell the perfume on you
The way you break into a smile it tells
You never touch me lately like you used to
Now you're in love, you're seeing someone else
Tell me why you're so hung about about her
Tell me that you're leaving me behind
Tell me you're just going round to help her
Tell me lies but don't tell me I'm blind
Lately in your sleep
You're calling out her name
Somehow I just know
It'll never be the same
There's no way I'll stay
If that's the way you'll play
Being in a threesome's not my game
So I'm gonna move on
Gonna walk on out that door
So you better we warned
You're gonna call on me no more
I'm gonna get a life
You can have your wife
I'm not another number on your score

Better World
I wanna make a statement
I wanna make it strong
I wanna tell everybody
That war is wrong
Why can't us humans
Live in peace with each other
Doesn't matter what colour or creed
We're all sisters and brothers
I wanna live in a better world (x4)
It seems a fact that in this world
There's more than enough to share
So I want to say emphatically
That it just asint fair
When some people live in mansion
And own three or four BMWs
While others they go hungry
Don't even have a pair of shoes
I wanna live in a better world (x4)
I wanna make a little point
To the people up there in power
That life on Earth is being destroyed
Hour by hour
'Cause it gets so frustrating
When there's nothing you can do
You wanna tell these guys the truth
But you can't get the message through
I wanna live in a better world (x4)
Human stupidity is driving me insane
Every time I pick up the paper
I read about it again and again
I wanna say how important it is
For us to open our hearts
Just listen to the other fellow
It's a place to start
I'm not saying I'm any better
Than those I criticise
But if we could be intelligent
Then we could be civilised
Then we could live in a better world
Yeah we could live in a better world
Oh we could live in a better world,
Yeah we could live in a better world

Love & Music
He: All is dark in the human world
So many people suffering
To natures dangers we add more ills
In a world where men like to kill
And rape and steal from their own kind
There is no safe place that we can find
small wonder that we need to escape sometimes
Turn off that T.V. - those images
We wanna enjoy, we wanna be pleased
And music is the answer - it's the only thing there is
So we listen to the stereo
Hear our favourite song
Playing on the stereo
Everybody can sing along
She: Love heals, that sparkle in your eyes
As I touch your hand the gentle rise
Of joy in your body, in your tender care
What is haplpening in the world out there
No longer matters, only your sweet face -
Now we are living in a different place
My flower opens out, I know it's real
We discover the secret of how to feel
The precious knowledge, the magic of your smile
And we can have sweet music, just turn the dial
And listen to the radio
Hear our favourite song
Playing on the radio
And feel that nothing is wrong
Love and music bring such relief
These are the things that make life worthwhile
A wounded soldier, a child in grief
Wathc their faces break into a smile
And listen to the radio
Hear their favourite song
Playing on the radio
And feel that nothing is wrong
Listen to the radio
Hear our favourite song
Playing on the radio
Everybody can sing along

Crazy Heart
Oh, crazy heart, why don't you leave me be?
I want some peace and a loving mind, 'cause I need security
But I'm tossed on a stormy sea of love and the waves are pounding me
Oh, oh help me please, yeah
I just want you to set me, want you to set me free
Oh, crazy heart, why do you torment me so?
I'm lost on a lonely river bridge and I'm looking down below
And I see the water running like the tears in my eyes
Oh, oh, help me please, yeah
I just want you to set me, want you to set me free
Oh, when those feelings well up in me when I'm with her
What can I hold onto when I'm falling?
And how am I going to give her love when I don't if she'll be mine?
Oh, crazy heart, why does it hurt a young man so
When he has such heavy feelings that he just can't control?
I'm helpless in the face of love and it's taking me away
Oh, oh, help me please, yeah
I just want you to set me, want you to set me free

Move On Down The Line
Move on Down the Line
Oh, it's time
To move on down the line
Yeah, it's time
When I see your face
And I know you're living
In a different space
Oh it's time
To move on down the line
Yeah, it's time
When I feel your heart
And I know that soon
We must part
Then it's time
To move on down the line
year ago everything was fine
I was living with you, I thought success was mine
But now my life is falling apart
A ruined career and a broken heart
So it's time
To move on down the line
When all your dreams
And all your plans
Disintegrate
Like shifting sands
Then it's time
To move on down the line
And all your friends
You counted on for support
They turn their backs
Don't give you a thought
Then it's time
To move on down the line

MERCY
by Peter and Markiza Brown c. Lemang Music 2004
When you see those pictures
And the pain in the eyes
Of the men, women and children
And it makes you realise
When you know you're not sorted
And the worries never cease
You long to make it simple
And have that inner peace
chorus: So we need Mercy, oh Mercy
We just need your Mercy
When the way is hard and things go wrong
Just Mercy, oh Mercy
We just need your Mercy
To help us a long and sing this song
To Wake up tomorrow
To see another day
That's all these folks ask for
The luck for which they pray
But we are weighed with problems
We cannot see the light
There's a dark force inside us
Keeping us from right
chorus
bridge: Well you know what's going on
And you know it isn't good
There's something in your throat like stone
And it's cold and it's dark
It's brutal and it's stark
And you know it's everyone - you're not alone
Don't want no violence
Don't want no hate
Can we put our hearts together
If it isn't far too late
'Cause life is so precious
It's a gift for everyone
I wanna be forgiven
And sleep in the sun
chorus
coda: There's a road I want to travel
A mystery I want to unravel
Just spare me my confusion before it's too late
We believe there's an arranger
And we're not in any danger
But it's all an illusion when the world is in this state
Markiza & Peter Brown c. 2005
