Don't Break The Promises
© 1992 (Stewart/McCartney/Gouldman)
Released by 10cc on album "Meanwhile" - May 1992

YOU KNOW I CANNOT ALWAYS BE THERE WITH YOU,
WHEN SOMETHING CRAZY TAKES ME FAR AWAY.
WE MUST STICK TOGETHER THROUGH THIS MADNESS,
I'VE GOT SO MANY THINGS I WANT TO SAY.

TOO MANY FORCES TRY TO COME BETWEEN US,
SO LITTLE TIME TO SHARE AND TALK TO YOU.
IF I SHOW MY HAND TO YOU IN PANIC,
PLEASE, REMEMBER WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH.

I'VE LOVED YOU FOREVER,
BUT IT SEEMS LIKE A DAY.
AND I WANT TO BE THERE WITH YOU,
I DIDN'T WANT IT THIS WAY.

DON'T THINK I DON'T TRUST IN YOU,
I JUST NEEDED TO SAY,
DON'T BREAK THE PROMISES
THAT WE MADE TODAY,
OH NO, DON'T BREAK THE PROMISES

DO YOU REMEMBER COUNTING EVERY MOMENT
BEFORE THE WORLD WE KNEW WAS TORN APART?
NOW WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES I CAN BE WITH YOU,
BUT ARE WE REALLY DANCING IN THE DARK?

A BAD CONNECTION LEADS US TO CONFUSION,
WE'RE ALL TOO EASILY MISUNDERSTOOD.
OH, WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER THROUGH THESE NIGHTMARES
AND NOW WE'VE GOT A CHANCE TO MAKE IT GOOD.

I'VE LOVED YOU FOREVER,
BUT IT SEEMS LIKE A DAY.
AND I WANT TO BE THERE WITH YOU,
I DIDN'T WANT IT THIS WAY.

DON'T THINK I DON'T TRUST IN YOU,
I JUST WANTED TO SAY,
OH, DON'T BREAK THE PROMISES
THAT WE MADE TODAY,
OH, DON'T BREAK THE PROMISES
THAT WE MADE TODAY

DON'T YOU BREAK THE PROMISES,
(Don't break the promises, promises)
IF YOU DO, YOU'LL BE BREAKING MY HEART.
(Don't break the promises that you made)
OH, DON'T FORGET THE THINGS WE SAID
(Promises, promises)
AT THE START, OH NO.

I'VE LOVED YOU FOREVER,
BUT IT SEEMS LIKE A DAY.
AND I WANT TO BE THERE WITH YOU,
I DIDN'T WANT IT THIS WAY.

DON'T THINK I DON'T TRUST IN YOU,
I JUST WANTED TO SAY,
OH, DON'T BREAK THE PROMISES
THAT WE MADE TODAY, OH NO.
DON'T BREAK THE PROMISES
THAT WE MADE TODAY,
OH, DON'T BREAK THE PROMISES
THAT WE MADE TODAY.

Hope Of Deliverance
© 1992 MPL Communications (McCartney)

I Will Always Be Hoping, Hoping.
You Will Always Be Holding, Holding
My Heart In Your Hand. I Will Understand.

I Will Understand Someday, One Day.
You Will Understand Always,
Always From Now Until Then.

When It Will Be Right, I Don't Know.
What It Will Be Like, I Don't Know.
We Live In Hope Of Deliverance From The Darkness That Surrounds Us.

Hope Of Deliverance, Hope Of Deliverance.
Hope Of Deliverance From The Darkness That Surrounds Us.

And I Wouldn't Mind Knowing, Knowing
That You Wouldn't Mind Going, Going Along With My Plan.

When It Will Be Right, I Don't Know.
What It Will Be Like, I Don't Know.
We Live In Hope Of Deliverance From The Darkness That Surrounds Us.

Hope Of Deliverance, Hope Of Deliverance.
Hope Of Deliverance From The Darkness That Surrounds Us.

Long Leather Coat
© 1992 MPL Communications (P.& L.McCartney)

I'M ALL ALONE, SAID SHE,
NO ONE TO PHONE, NO ONE TO TOUCH ME.
I'M ON MY WAY SAID THE MAN IN THE LONG LEATHER COAT
AS HE STARTED HIS CAR.

I'M GLAD YOU CAME, SAID SHE
YOU GOT MY NOTE, YOU UNDERSTOOD IT.
HE SMILED AS HE HUNG UP HIS LONG LEATHER COAT
ON THE BACK OF THE DOOR.

STROLL ON BABY, STEP RIGHT IN.
HELP YOURSELF TO A HANDFUL OF EV'RYTHING IN SIGHT,
LET THE PARTY BEGIN.
STROLL ON BABY, STEP RIGHT IN.
HELP YOURSELF TO A HANDFUL OF EV'RYTHING IN SIGHT,
LET THE PARTY BEGIN.

OH, I LOVE YOUR COAT, SAID SHE.
(oh, I love your coat, said she)
HE SAID, WELL, THANK YOU.
(he said, well, thank you)
IN YOUR NOTE YOU SAID YOU HAD,
(in your note you said you had)
NO ONE TO TOUCH YOU.
(no one to touch you)
SO SHALL I GO THROUGH?
(so shall I go, so shall I go)
(so shall I go, so shall I go)

WHY, YES, SHE SAID, YOU CAN GO ON AHEAD
SHE TOOK OUT THE KEY
AND SHE LOCKED HIM INTO THE BEDROOM.
OH, OH, OH.

NOW I AM ALONE, SAID SHE,
SHE TOOK A CAN OF REALLY RED PAINT,
AND SHE SPRAYED UP AND DOWN ON THE LONG LEATHER COAT,
ON THE BLOODY RED FLOOR.

SO LONG, BABY, I TOOK YOU IN
JUST TO SHOW YOU THAT YOUR LONG LEATHER COAT
IS REALLY NOTHING BUT A HANDFUL OF SKIN.
STROLL ON, BABY, STEP RIGHT IN.
HELP YOURSELF TO A HANDFUL OF EV'RYTHING IN SIGHT,
LET THE PARTY BEGIN!

LET THE PARTY BEGIN! HO!

OO-OO-OO-OO,
OO-OO-OO.

WELL, LET THE PARTY, THE PARTY BEGIN.

BIG BOYS BICKERING,
THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE DOIN' EV'RYDAY.
BIG BOYS BICKERING,
FUCKIN' IT UP FOR EV'RYONE, EV'RYONE.

GUESS WHILE THEY'RE BETTING ON THE TRACK,
THEY'RE TRYIN' TO WIN YOUR MONEY BACK.
ALL OF THE TAXES THAT YOU PAID,
WENT TO FUND THE MASQUERADE.

BIG BOYS BICKERING,
THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE DOIN' ALL THE DAY.
BIG BOYS BICKERING,
FUCKIN' IT UP IN EV'RY WAY, EV'RY WAY.

WE STAND HERE WAITING
UNDERNEATH THE TOWER BLOCK.
WHO WILL WIN AND WHO WILL LOSE?
WHICH WAY DO THE BIG BOYS CHOOSE?
WHICH OF US WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT GOES ON?

OO -

WHO WILL WIN, WHO WILL LOSE?

SO WHILE THEY ARGUE THROUGH THE NIGHT,
SHAKIN' THEIR STICKS OF DYNAMITE,
BABIES ARE DYING THROUGH THE DAY,
THEY WANNA BLOW US ALL AWAY.

BIG BOYS BICKERING,
AND SO THE GAME GOES ON AND ON.
BIG BOYS BICKERING,
FUCKING IT UP FOR EV'RYONE, EV'RYONE,
FOR EV'RYONE, FOR EV'RYONE, FOR EV'RYONE,
FOR EV'RYONE, EV'RYONE.

FUCKING IT UP FOR EV'RYONE,
(Fuckin' it up for ev'ryone)
FUCKING IT UP FOR EV'RYONE,
EV'RYONE, EV'RYONE,
EV'RY, EV'RY, EV'RY, EV'RY, EV'RYONE.

Take my blessings with you when you go,
I don't wanna know no more.
Head to toe, from top to bottom I've been kicked around,
Don't wanna be kicked around no more

I'll be thinking of you when you go,
Take a walk along the shore.
Why should I pretend that nothing is the matter now?
Don't wanna be kicked around no more

My life could be so sweet,
I can't remember when I started running.
The water underneath the bridge can't keep a secret,
She's still running home.

Take my blessing with you when you go,
To the next one you adore, ooh.
Head to toe, from top to bottom I've been kicked around,
Ain't gonna be kicked around no more

Don't wanna be kicked around,
Ain't gonna be kicked around,
Don't wanna be kicked around no more.

My life could be so sweet,
I can't remember when I started running.
The water underneath the bridge can't keep a secret,
I'm not running now.

Take my blessing with you when you go,
I don't wanna know no more.
Head to toe, from top to bottom I've been kicked around,
Don't wanna be kicked around no more

Don't wanna be kicked around,
Ain't gonna be kicked around,
Don't wanna be kicked around no more.
