LOVE OR WAR
(Murphy)
We can choose what we want to do
The future is you, work it out
We can see whatever we want to see
Try it out with me, try it out
Eyes of love, open all the doors
One breath of fear will close down your day
So tell me baby what are we living for is it love or war
Ismghani (Isma)
I say love
And if the truth lit up the sky
Would you run and hide, would you run?
And if I told you there is only you
I like only you, would you run?
Eyes of love, open all the doors
One breath of fear will close down your day
So tell me baby what are we living for is it love or war
Ismagħni (isma’)
I say love
Love!
Eyes of love, open all the doors
One breath of fear will close down your day
So tell me baby what are we living for is it love or war
Ismagħni (isma’)
I say love
Seek love, want love, find love, be love,
Take love, make love, give love, talk love, need love
LOVE

LONG AGO AND FAR AWAY
(Murphy)
Long ago and far away
Must be careful with my dreams now
And with all i used to say
Long ago and far away
In a blaze of sun shine light
Your sense flows through a sad song
Where your smile says come to play
Long ago and far away
And at the tail end of my hopes
I am strong and somehow ready
To face the truth of all those days
Long ago and far away
Long ago and far away
I must be careful with my dreams now
And with all i used to say
Long ago and far away
Long ago and far away
Long ago and far away

Heart and Soul
(Murphy)
Take your time
Have some fun
Life is short
You’ve just begun
You can be
Who you want to be
Forever
There will be lovers
There will be friends
Whole new beginnings
And bitter ends
Embrace it all
Though rise or fall
Forever
Wake up every morning
Seize the moment
Live in the day
Cos it’s your life
Not just another life
Of billions and billions
All over the world
Live it well
Heart and soul
Forever
You can be
Who you want to be
Forever

Can’t Get Through
(Murphy)
Come down here
On the phone
Someone wants to
Hear you moan
Someone somewhere wants to hear from you
Until he does I can’t get through
Someone somewhere wants to hear from you
Till he does I can’t get through
Till he does I can’t get through
Till he does I can’t get through

ACAPELLA
(Murphy)
Acapella
Dancing in the hall
Acapella
Singing you till dawn
Hey baby you and I, have got something going on
Me and you babe, me and you babe
Acapella
Coming through the night
Acapella
Screaming out of sight
Hey baby you and I, must be doing something right
Me and you babe, me and you babe
Friday! Don’t know who the hell you are
Sunday! I’m riding in your car
Monday! Lying down by the sea
Can’t keep me my hands off a you - can’t keep your hands off me
Acapella
Yea yea yeah
Acapella
Yea yea yeah
Friday! Don’t know who the hell you are
Sunday! I’m riding in your car
Monday! Lying down by the sea
Can’t keep me my hands off a you - can’t keep your hands off me
Acapella
Silent ocean wave
Acapella
You’re everything I crave
Hey baby you and I, have got something we should save
Me and you babe..
Me ….. and….. you….

HEART ON A SLEEVE
(Murphy)
Over and over, valentine
You know the score, she is not mine
Stop all the questions
Pass me the wine
Chain me in time
We do not need such an argument here
Sitting around in our unjustified fear
Now tell me your smile
Melting my soul
Never will go
What would I do
If you should leave
Look at the hour glass
Watch the sand weave
A heart on a sleeve

KISS ME LIKE A MAN
(Murphy and Grace Spiteri)
I'm sitting in a bar some place, talking to a guy with a scar upon his face
And his soul seeping out from the corner of his eyes
Holy Moly she came into view, talking out loud to a friend or two
Stealing my heart with ease and warm-eyed surprise
And she said
Hey Baby, so you really wanna save me?
Hey baby, let me show you who I am
Let me show you who I am
Let me show you who I am
Let me show you who I am
Out of the big blue, she makes a move
Sitting down beside me, getting into a groove
Taking my hand like Mama did to sympathise
Now I don’t know if I’m right or wrong
Don’t know if she’s just singing up my song
But what I don’t know won’t hurt me to live with at all
And she said
Hey Baby, so you really wanna save me?
Hey baby, let me show you who I am
Let me show you who I am
Let me show you who I am
Let me show you who I am
Come on kiss me like a man
Out of my depth - into a hole
Sharp cut in style- give her control
Let her play with my heart on my restless ride to hell
Ain’t never this alive ain’t never felt it so strong
Never felt like I’m here - where I belong
As she flips back her hair and with a smile she shoots through my soul
And she said…..

LIVE FOR THE DAY YOU’RE IN
(Murphy)
There will be times in your life
When everything will be right
And times when everything will fail
Always look ahead
Never look back
And live for the day you’re in
The road can be long
But only if you get ahead of yourself
Behind you ghosts shout loud
Smile, be cool, let the world come in
Be open, be of love, be proud
There will be times in your life
When everything will be right
And times when everything will fail
Always look ahead
Never look back
And live for the day you’re in
And when your heart aches
Let the tears flow
Let your spirit cry it out
Cos no matter who you are
No matter where you go
Everybody lives with doubt
There will be times in your life
When everything will be right
And times when everything will fail
Always look ahead
Never look back
And live for the day
Live for the day
Live for the day, you’re in

CIRCUS OF A WORLD
(Murphy)
All these people dying in my front room
As I concern myself with ways to score
Turning off my TV screen, I switch on the radio
Where the images of death can lie no more
This time I’m in is making me so crazy
Sweet ideals of life fall to a wind
A change so overwhelming, it fractures every dream
Nothing’s quite the way today it seems
It’s just me (in my) circus of a world
Just me (in my) circus of a world
Just me (in my) circus of world
Time alone will test the twisted motives
Of people without change who will remain
In all of us the answer, one is where it leads
We need to know just what it is we need
It’s just me (in my) circus of a world
Just me (in my) circus of a world
Just me (in my) circus of world
Well here we are, in all our style
Can’t realise, where we’re at
Here we are, all boys and girls
Sitting in our circus of a world
Sitting in our circus of a world
Bye bye Frank, bye bye Johnny, bye bye Elvis
Bye bye to all of those I once held dear
Hello my heartfelt cynic, bringing clutter to my soul
And the demons of control who trade in fear
It’s just me (in my) circus of a world
Just me (in my) circus of a world
Just me (in my) circus of world
Well here we are, in all our style
Can’t realise, where we’re at
Here we are, all boys and girls
Sitting in our circus of a world…

ALL AT SEA
(Murphy)
I’m all at sea
I’m all at sea
Sometimes i don’t know where to turn
I’m all at sea
Love blows cold
Love blows cold
I’ve been here now so many years
Love blows cold
I’m all at sea
I’m all at sea
Sometimes i don’t know where to turn
I’m all at sea
These nights these nights are so long
These nights these nights are so long
Alone i feel alone i am
These nights are long
I’m all at sea
I’m all at sea
And then i meet your sparkling eyes
Life shines
Once more
For me

When the Walls Come Tumbling Down
(Murphy)
One sunny day
The world will be in your hand
Children will smile
As rain hits the sand
And you will walk in peace
With all your dreams before you
No escaping the truth
Reclaim the land
One great day
After an empire of darkness
When all of the false gods
Have been burned to the ground
We will be blessed
By eternal sunshine
By love of the spirit
By love all around
When the Walls Come Tumbling Down
The Walls Come Tumbling
When the Walls Come Tumbling Down
Take my hand
My only darling
Take my love
It is all that I am
Come walk with me
To a new blue horizon
With absolute silence
Praising its psalm
When the Walls Come Tumbling Down
The Walls Come Tumbling
When the Walls Come Tumbling Down
