The Hill.

NEVER SAY NO.

It's been a long time comin
to get my feet through the door
I spent a long time runnin
But I aint gonna run no more

Do I believe in love
is this a tunnel of light
will I be reaching the end
before the fall of the night
or am I just wasting my time
should I call it a day
or would that be committing the crime
of wasting my life away

I'll never say no
I'll never say no not ever
I'm stayin on board
and keepin it all together

I started out with nothin
so I got nothin to lose
and if you think I'm bluffin
then you'll know which way to choose

Do I believe my life
is how I want it to be
or is there something else
my eyes are failing to see

MEAN DEPRESSION BLUES.

.You got no way of knowin
I got now way of showing you
just how I feel
You got no way of telling
except when I start yelling at you
like its not real
kick off your dancin shoes
here come the mean depression blues

You've got no understanding
you should'nt be demanding
on just how I feel
you always say it's nothin
you always think I'm bluffin
and it cant be that real
There's nothin more to lose
here come the mean depression blues

Lord get me out of these chains
how I long to be free
Aint got no rhyme or reason for this
what's happening to me

It's got a way of changing
it's always re-arranging
just how I feel
Its got a way of stayin
it's heavy weight layin on me
like it cant be real
There blows another fuse
here come the mean depression blues

IT TAKES TIME.

You started something
when you walked into my life
You thought it easy
to cut through me like a knife
but it takes time

And here we are
just where we wanted to be
we're on our own now.
We've come this far
by staying together in love
and wanting for no one

You took the trouble
you would'nt let me pass you by
and now we double
as lovers and friends that's why
it takes time.

AFRICA.

Does anybody out there really care
is anybody else prepared to listen
why do you treat us like there'e no one there
pehaps you think we don't know what we're missing

Woe Africa
you know so well
woe Africa
You'll go to hell.

You seem to be against a peaceful way
you think that you can hold us down forever
I have to tell you now we're here to stay
our answer to your power game is never

I know you think there's nothin more we can do
and we should be content and take no action
but we hold a different kind of view
and freedom's always been the main attraction

SLIPPIN AWAY.

Your slippin away from me
the future's not ours to see
and when your gone
how shall I carry on
like nothin has changed.
So this is the price we pay
for lovin you all the way
and when the pain
comes again and again
I'll know it's the end

Is this the last night
is this the last fight
And if we make it
into another day
wont stop you slippin away
just slippin away

What more could I have done
what more could have anyone
you ask yourself time and again
if befriending
is all you could be.
It's out of our hands this time
a feeling of being resigned
is starting to wash over me
that it wont be so long
'till you're free.

we all must take it
but that don't make it
any less painful
for all the love we gave
and now you're slippin away
just slippin away.............

But that was yesterday
now your so far away
it does'nt seem long
in my mind
from the time
when I started to say

Your slippin away from me
Just slippin away from me.

CRUEL WOMAN.

Tonight she's leaving here for the last time
I did'nt think it would go this far
What I'm seeing now for the first time
is the cruel woman you are

Thought you'd understand what I'm feelin
Thought you knew it would be this hard
but I did'nt think that I'd see you
as the cruel woman you are

Now she's sayin goodbye for the last time
I did'nt think it would this far
What I'm seeing now for the first time
is the cruel woman you are

WHAT DO I CARE.

It took a long time for me to notice
I was going nowhere at all
It took a long time to discover
It's a mountain too tall
But what do I care
As long as your there

It took a long time for me to realise
it was a distance too far
always the right place
but at the wrong time
because it's not who you are
But what do I care
As long as your there
What do I care at all

It took a long time for me to understand
that at the end of this road
begin the pathways
to yet other lands
but where they lead I dont know
But what do I care
As long as your there
What do I care at all

THIS ONE'S FOR THE BOYS.

Lately I've been thinkin that
Life is never easy
It picks you up and puts you down
and no one seems to care.
So take me from this troubled road
to where they'll never reach me
and put me in a place and time
where all my friends will be.

So take me home
take me home to Cornwall
from all that noise
this one's for the boys
and have no fear
this land will never empty
of pride and joy
this one's for the boys.

Now I'm Cornish born and Cornish bred
I don't take that for granted
I keep it here inside my head
wherever I may be.
But when the spirit of Trelawny calls
I will not be prevented
for standing up for one and all
My Cornish friends and me .
