That’s Tough (B-side to “Shine” single)

1. Shine
(Kevin Jarvis, Guy Fletcher & Jeremy Bird)

You give me love
You give me love
You give me love
You give me love

You give me

In the morning see you shine

Feel your body moving mine
The twilight slowly turning
I watch you walking away

You give me love, you make me shine,
Clear in the midnight sky,
My fantasy makes me shine,
Clear in the midnight sky,

Don’t let the sun go down

Don’t be fooled by the changes you see,
Interpretations vary once in a while,
Don’t close the door on me

In the darkness see you shine,
Move your body close to mine,
I’m feeling excitation,
I feel a perfect vision,
My fantasy tonight

You give me love, you make me shine
Clear in the midnight sky,
My fantasy makes me shine

Cool as ice,
I broke away, did I,

Catch your love in time

More communication
More communication,
That’s all I need,
And like a star I’ll shine

You give me love, you make me shine,
Clear in the midnight sky,
My fantasy makes me shine,
Clear in the midnight sky,

In the darkness see you shine,
Move your body close to mine,
I’m feeling excitation,

I feel a perfect vision… (repeat to fade)

2. One Little Lie
(Simon Climie & Kirsty MacColl)

I hear the lines on the telegraph,
Buzz in my head,

I have to shut them out,

My ears to the ground,

But I try to stand up,

And straighten out,

Forget my doubt,

‘Cos I couldn’t bear to lose you,

You’re the only one I care for,

But I can’t lock out the rumours,

I shut my eyes so I won’t see because….

One little lie can go a long way
One little lie can go a long way
Would I learn to trust again some day

I try to ask but my tongue gets tied,

When I guess the answer,

If you turned your head away from me,

I know I’d stand there forever,

Vaught out in time by a line,

That I wanted you to deny,

And you’d laught and laugh ’til I cried and cried,

I can’t shut out the rumours,

Burning inside me all the time…

One little lie can go a long way
One little lie can go a long way
Would I learn to trust again some day

Every day is turning away,

I feel something new,

If I can’t put my trust in you,
Then we’ve got nothing worth hanging on to,

It’s hard to talk sometimes now,

You seem so far away,

Am I losing my mind,
Oh help me please,

Say it’s not true what the people say,

It hurts In my heart,

‘Cos I couldn’t bear to lose you

You’re the only one I care for,

But I can’t forget the rumours,

Don’t shut your eyes so I won’t see because….

One little lie can go a long way
One little lie can go a long way
Would I learn to trust again some day…

3. The Face
(Daniel Balavoine & Kirsty MacColl)

You take a final look around

And then you put your house-key down

Upon the table by the note

You take your handbag and your coat

You don’t want too much to carry

To slow you down on the way

You picture his face In the morning

As he was going to work

Without saying a word

You saw the face

Of a stranger

It wasn’t always like this before

His face like a stranger

You didn’t know what to say
So you are going away
From the face of a stranger

And not the lover you knew before

Why should you want to call your friends

Why should you want to start again
You tried explaining through the years

But it would always end in tears
And one thing you know for certain

You’ve said goodbye to that place

But still You picture his face

In the morning
As he was going to work

Without saying a word
You saw the face
Of a stranger

It wasn’t always like this before
His face like a stranger
You didn’t know what to say
So you are going away
From the face of a stranger

And not the lover you knew before

Somewhere a telephone

Is ringing in an empty room

Miles away

You are looking at a new town
But you are thinking of the past
The rain is falling down
Why do you keep that photograph

Of his face like a stranger
As he was going to work
Without saying a word
You saw the face Of a stranger

And not the lover you knew before

His face In the morning
As he was going to work
Without saying a word
You saw the face

Of a stranger
It wasn’t always like this before
His face like a stranger
You didn’t know what to say
So you are going away
From the face of a stranger
And not the lover you knew before
His face In the morning
As he was going to work
Without saying a word
You saw the face Of a stranger
It wasn’t always like this before

4. Twist In The Dark
(Andde Leek)

Twist in the dark

I twist in the dark

Love is on the wing
Concorde
Seems like a groundhog

Your face could

Change everything

With a phone call
Like a maddog

Well it laid me out

When you told me

You’d slept about

And now I

Twist in the dark
I twist in the dark
Mad reasoning

Keeps us separate

Twist in the dark

I twist in the dark

My priorities are paradise

Love is in the air

Those arrows
Are sharp and narrow
Your face is in a static state

In a picture that I captured
Well I broke down
When you told me
You’d slept around

And now I

Twist in the dark

I twist in the dark

Mad reasoning
Keeps us separate, baby
And I twist in the dark

I twist in the dark

My priorities are paradise

But it wouldn’t mean a thing
If I could only hold you
Right now, right now
Finding the train fare
And the time

But they’re very hard to come by
If I could kick away the rubbish,
If I could kick it all away

I twist in the dark

Twist in the dark

I twist in the dark

I twist in the dark
Twist in the dark

I twist in the dark

Mad reasoning

Keeps us separate, baby

And I twist in the dark
I twist in the dark
My prioirites are paradise

Well I broke down

When you told me
You’d slept around

And now I
Twist in the dark
I twist in the dark
Mad reasoning
Keeps us separate, baby
Twisting in the dark

Just means nothing

5. Slowly
(Benny Andersson & Bjorn Ulvaeus)

We take so much for granted, he and I
We share a life in one dimension
Our problems always seem to cloud the sky
But we don’t pay them much attention
And with every day
We drift apart I can feel it in my heart

That man is not the man I used to know
And though a part of me still needs him so there’s something wrong

And I feel my love die Slowly, slowly

No angry words and no heart-rending scenes

And we should take it as a warning
We keep on going through the old routines
Exchanging kisses in the morning
And with every day we drift apart
And the fear is in my heart

I read the signs and I should be mature

And yet a child could not be more unsure there’s something wrong
And I feel my love die Slowly, slowly

Our passion’s just a distant memory

And in its place a dull frustration
A cold indifference where there used to be
At least a frequent irritation
But a feeling still of tenderness and of pity,
so I guess

I’ll be the woman in his arms tonight

If he should need someone to hold him tight
He’s like a child But I feel my love die Slowly

That man is not the man I used to know
And though a part of me still needs him so there’s something wrong
And I feel my love die
Slowly, slowly
Slowly, slowly
Slowly, slowly
Slowly, slowly

6. Heart Of The Country
(Stuart Adamson)

A candle burns in the
Heart of the country
The flame fades through
I see to it sadly

It takes me further away

Than I have ever been

I wait and the darkness comes

I pray for my only one
And I wonder if you ever

Will see this land again

We took this land
And we brought it goodness

It’s taken everything

And left only emptiness

I am not broken
Although I have the seeds in me

I wait and the darkness comes
I pray for my only one
And I wonder if you ever
Will see this land again

I hide my face against the sun

I hide my fear from everyone

But I’ve had enough of secrets
They’re all lies

We’re scared to tell

I just need someone to be with

I just need to say you fell

There’s nothing out here
But me and a whisper

And now it’s falling

I won’t even listen
I watch the fall and it’s
Time that I was leaving too

I wait and the darkness comes
I pray for my only one
And I wonder if you ever
Will see this land again

8. Chemistry Tonight
(Peter Glenister, Simon Climie & Kirsty MacColl)

No rain but I felt the thunder
You came and my ship went under
With a white light shattering the night
As you smiled like you do

I could take evasive action
But I need the satisfaction

And I know, oh I could learn a lot

From someone like you
Who knows what will happen

I’ll keep my fingers crossed and
Hope for some reaction

Here goes, it’s chemistry tonight

My eyes are open
All the electricity seems right
I can feel a change in me
It’s chemistry tongiht
I know that I’m onto something special
Writing on the wall in neonlight
Telling me it’s got to be
It’s chemistry tonight

You turn and you look
Right through me
You know what you’re
Doing to me
Very slow, oh I just can’t erase
This smile from my face
I’m sure we could be terrific
So pure that it’s scientific
�Cos it’s true, oh everything
We do falls right into place
Can’t wait for the darkness
I’m lying in the bath
I turn on my radio

I know, there’s chemistry tonight

One kiss and you start a fire
One sip from your loving cup
Can take me high
My body’s burning up
When you do like you do
I feel silent somehow

Feel you closer now

We may discover something
Maybe, it’s chemistry tonight

9. Don’t Do It
(Anni-Frid Lyngstad)

Don’t do it
Don’t look at me the way you do
Don’t do it

Those eyes of yours

Are much too blue

Don’t do it
Don’t do it
Don’t make me think

This could be true
Don’t do it

These lips so close
Belong to who Don’t do it

Don’t come closer
Stay away from me
My heart is not repaired
Why don’t we wait and see
Please give it time

Don’t do it
Don’t look at me the way you do
Don’t do it
Those eyes of yours

Are much too blue
Don’t do it

I’m falling, falling, falling
I’m falling in love with you

I’m falling, falling, falling

And there is nothing I can do

You’re falling, falling, falling

You’re falling the same way too

You’re falling, falling, falling
And there is nothing we can do

Don’t do it
Don’t call me back

I have to go
Don’t do it
Oh, my resistance running low

Don’t do it
Don’t do it
Don’t tell me what I need to know

Don’t do it
Oh, I may never let you go
Don’t do it
Don’t come closer . . .

I’m falling, falling, falling . . .

10. Comfort Me
(Peter Glenister)

It’s in strange situations
That dreams are laid
Just a look
And they taunt you again

You think how it felt

Then the memory fades

As you enter

The once promised land
He squeezes
Then lets go your hand
Comfort me, comfort me
He sat out of the lamplight
As if to hide
While waiting for who

I’ll never know

He smokes like he means it

To fill what he feels

That’s empty

And nowhere to go
He sighs as he Breathes me “hello”

Comfort me, comfort me

He looks right through me
To another face
A smile in his eyes
From another time and place
Oh, to feel what it was
That happened then
But he couldn’t take me there

The streets seem familiar
But something’s gone
I watch as the slumbers
To go in search
Of the picture

That fills what he feels

I break into the once long ago
He smiles as he
Breathes her “hello”

Comfort me, comfort me

He looks right through me

To another face
A smile in his eyes
From another time and place

Oh, to feel what it was
That happened then
But he couldn’t take me there

It’s in strange situations
That dreams are made
Just a thought
And they haunt you again
If you’d know how it felt

Could it be the same

If you’d entered
That once promised land

If it squeezed
Then held on to your hand

Comfort me, comfort me

That’s Tough
(Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Hans Fredriksson, Kirsty McColl)

Don’t tell me the story of your life
I’ve heard too much already
You said you’ve got problems with your wife
I’d say the problem’s you
‘Cause you never grew up
And you’re running away
But you’re gonna get caught some day

Tell me about it
Oh, that’s tough
Tell me about it
Oh, that’s tough

So don’t tell me the story of your life
I’d rather watch a movie
Your Hollywood smile is not enough
You’re giving me the blues
So when are you going to understand
I’m not the woman to make you a man
So if you’ve got a wife you can talk to you might
Tell me about it
Oh, that’s tough
Tell me about it
Oh, that’s tough

I don’t want to hear about the time
You crashed your new Ferrari
Don’t try to impress me with your lies
I’ve no respect for you
‘Cause you try to make out
That you’re somebody else
But you’ll never escape yourself
So when are you going to understand
I don’t intend to be part of your plans
You’ve got an obsession you’d like to pull off
Tell me about it
Oh, that’s tough
Tell me about it
Oh, that’s tough

Don’t tell me, don’t tell me, don’t tell me
That’s tough
I don’t wanna hear you tell me
That’s tough
Don’t tell me, don’t tell me, don’t tell me, don’t tell me
That’s tough
So I don’t want to hear you tell me that’s tough
Don’t tell me, don’t tell me, don’t tell me
That’s tough
That’s tough
So I don’t want to hear you tell me that’s tough
Don’t tell me, don’t tell me, don’t tell me
That’s tough
Oh that’s tough

Tell me about it
Oh, that’s tough
Tell me about it
Oh, that’s tough
So I don’t want to hear you tell me that’s tough
Don’t tell me, don’t tell me, don’t tell me
That’s tough
Oh that’s tough
