Rain

Rain
Written by Clarke / Bell

What is there to do? Only rain
Falling down from the sky
Only me and you, fair and plain
Nothing lost and nothing gained

Only the love, nothing more, nothing less comes between us
Temperature's rising, my passion is burning inside

My world in light saving all as one
A love that no one can deny
My one true light, same for everyone
A love we dare you to defy
Only rain

I won't settle for less, but no regrets
See myself in your own reflection (See myself in your reflection)
Something in your eyes that tells me why
I'm a fool for your warm affection (I'm a fool for your affection)

Only the love, nothing more, nothing less comes between us
Temperature's rising, my passion is burning inside

My world in light saving all as one
A love that no one can deny
My one true light, same for everyone
A love we dare you to defy
Only rain

You are my, my one true, my world in light
You are my, my one true, my world in light

In My Arms
Written by Clarke / Bell

The deal is on the rise again
The ship comes in to shore
You've been away to somewhere
But life goes on no less

Through the foreign ocean
Underneath the sea

And walls come tumbling down
We'll be forever calm
And you'll be here in my arms
I'll keep you away from harm

I thought about you twice just then
You get me every time
Keeps coming out of nowhere
It cannot be defined

Your colours are magnificent
From magenta to bright blue

And walls come tumbling down
We'll be forever calm
And you'll be here in my arms
I'll keep you away from harm

Through the foreign ocean
Underneath the sea

And walls come tumbling down
We'll be forever calm
And you'll be here in my arms
I'll keep you away from harm

First Contact
Written by Clarke / Bell / Harding / Curnow / Jones

That was the first time
I saw you in the undergrowth
You only heard the voices in the wind

Then came the next time
They called me to the great unknown
A transformation changing everything

Metamorphosis
First Contact
Metamorphosis
First Contact
First Contact

It was my first and only
Encounter with the outer reaches of space
You send them through my heart

That was the first time
I saw you in the undergrowth
You only heard the voices in the wind

Then came the next time
They called me to the great unknown
A transformation changing everything

Metamorphosis
First Contact
Metamorphosis
First Contact
First Contact

It was my first and only
Encounter with the outer reaches of space
You send them through my heart

Resistance is futile
Resistance is futile
First Contact
First Contact
First Contact

Metamorphosis
First Contact
Metamorphosis
First Contact
First Contact

Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis
First Contact
First Contact

It was my first and only
Encounter with the outer reaches of space

Sometimes
Written by Clarke / Bell

It's not the way you lead me by the hand into the bedroom
It's not the way you throw your clothes upon the bathroom floor

Been thinking about you, I just couldn't wait to see
Fling my arms around you as we fall in ecstacy

Ooh, sometimes
The truth is harder than the pain inside, yeah
Ooh, sometimes
It's the broken heart that decides

It's not the way that you caress me, toy with my affection
It's not my sense of emptiness you fill with your desire

Climb in bed beside me, we can lock the world outside
Touch me, satisfy me, warm your body next to mine

Ooh, sometimes
The truth is harder than the pain inside, yeah
Ooh, sometimes
It's the broken heart that decides

Woah

Ooh, sometimes
The truth is harder than the pain inside, yeah
Ooh, sometimes
It's the broken heart that decides
