Love To You

(Melanie Chisholm / Gary Clark)

 

Love to me is beautiful Beautiful and cruel
Love to you
is dangerous And dangerous is cool

When there's nothing else to do
And there's nothing on TV
If that's love to you
Well it isn't love to me
And if there's nothing left to say
Then there's nothing we can do
If that's love to you

Love to me
should be glamorous
Adventurous
and sometimes sad

Love to you
is curious
But it's nothing more (nothing more)
To you than there (nothing there)

When there's nothing else to do
And there's nothing on TV
If that's love to you
Well it isn't love to me
And if there's nothing left to say
Then there's nothing we can do
If that's love to you

If that's love to you
If that's love to you

Is that love to you-oh-whoa

Love to me
is history 'Cos the mystery leaves you cold

When there's nothing else to do
And there's nothing on TV
If that's love to you

Well it isn't love to me
And if there's nothing left to say
Then there's nothing we can do
If that's love to you

If that's love to you
Is that love to you-oh-whoa

Like That

(Melanie Chisholm / Martin Slattery / Scott Shields)

 
Call me anytime you want Call me don't you ever stop
A silver sun, an empty gun, whatever
And everyone is having fun, whoa-whoa-whoa

I like that, when it comes easily
To me, and everything I couldn't see
I like you, even though I shouldn't do
I like that, I wonder if you like it to

And I like it, and I like it, and I like it, there's nothing like this

Velvet sky the night-time falls
Losing sight I start to crawl
And if you claim, a spinning train, whatever
And everyday, I'm gonna play, yeah-yeah-yeah

I like that, when it comes easily
To me, and everything I couldn't see
I like you, even though I shouldn't do
I like that, I wonder if you like it to

I like that, when it comes easily
To me, and everything I couldn't see
I like you, even though I shouldn't do

And I like it, and I like it, and I like it, there's nothing like this

And I like it, and I like it

I like that, when it comes easily
To me, and everything I couldn't see
I like you, even though I shouldn't do
I like that, I wonder if you like it to

I like that, when it comes easily
To me, and everything I couldn't see
I like you, even though I shouldn't do

And I like it, and I like it, and I like it, there's nothing like this

Living Without You
(Melanie Chisholm / Julian Gallagher / Simon Hale / Richard Stannard)

 

Where will you go? Is there something I could say to make you stay?
I don't know
But I know I'll never feel this way again

This moment in time Has got me thinking
After everything you said
I'm so easily mislead, oh-oh-oh

When you leave me I'll be empty
I'll wander down a lonely road
Living without you
Nothing I can do, oh-oh

Where have you gone?
Was it something that I said that made you go?
All alone
It was you that made the plan that led me on

This moment in time
Has got me thinking
After everything you said
I'm so easily mislead, oh-oh-oh

And when you leave me I'll be empty
I'll wander down a lonely road
Living without you
Nothing I can do, oh-oh

And when you go it won't be easy
My love will burn and fade away
Living without you
How will I get through

How will I get through
(How will I get through)

This moment in time
Has got me thinking
After everything you said
I'm so easily mislead, oh-oh-oh

And when you leave me I'll be empty
I'll wander down a lonely road
Living without you
Nothing I can do, oh-oh

And when you go it won't be easy
My love will burn and fade away
Living without you
How will I get through
(How will I, how will I)

And when you leave me I'll be empty
I'll wander down a lonely road
Living without you
Nothing I can do, oh-oh

I Love You Without Trying

(Melanie Chisholm / Rick Nowels)

 

I love you without trying

Driving along in a storm, but we're together
Mountains could fall to the ground, we don't hear a sound

I hear your voice Simply divine
I have no choice
I'll tell you why

I love you without trying It's always been that way
I love you without trying
And in your arms I stay

Even when we are apart, I'm never lonely
You are a space in my heart no one could fill

Millions of stars are lighting the sky
Feeling the sparks
I'll tell you why

I love you without trying It's always been that way
When my heart was dying
You took my pain away

Even when the sun is gone
You're the light to guide me home
And be the best in everything I do
You are every part of me
You make me who I want to be
A higher love is what I feel for you

I love you without trying It's always been that way
When my heart was dying
You took my pain away

Wonderland
(Melanie Chisholm / Martin Slattery / Scott Shields)

 

I can't remember yesterday It isn't fair there is no other way
Still I walk on
and I walk on with a blade against my back for me to fall on

Time is not a friend to me Draging waves me down Pulling me in danger

Used to be the wonderland Stable as a castle made of sand
And I reclaim
Mistakes that I made
And it scratches on my back
that read out your name

Time is not a friend to me Draging waves me down Pulling me in danger

Time will never heal the pain Blameless you are not the same
Shameless you are not a friend of mine

Time is not a friend to me Draging waves me down Pulling me in danger
Time is not a friend to me
Draging waves me down Pulling me in danger

(Ba-dap, ba-dap, ba-dap, ba-dap, ba-dap, ba-dap)

Time is not a friend to me Seems so hard to understand
I can't escape
escape the memories
Hope me spin back through the years
To find a place
that I once knew as wonderland
Wonderland
Wonderland
Wonderland

Knocked Out

(Melanie Chisholm / Tore Johansson / Solveig Sandness)

 
Knocked out I can't get up, again
Knocked out
Can't find my feet, to stand

Thought I'd learn my lesson, didn't learn it so well
Slap my face I've fallen again
I'm knocked out
I can't get up again
Find my feet to stand
Need a helping hand

You've got me begging on my knees, oh baby please
Come back to me
Oh baby hold me now I'm begging you, so please
There is nothing I wouldn't do
Anything for you
Oh baby hold me now
I'm begging you so please

Knocked out
I don't know who, I am
Knocked out
I don't know where, I stand

Thought I'd learn my lesson, didn't learn it so well
Slap my face I've fallen again
I'm knocked out
By another man
I don't know where I stand
Don't know who I am

You've got me begging on my knees, oh baby please
Come back to me
Oh baby hold me now I'm begging you, so please
There is nothing I wouldn't do
Anything for you
Oh baby hold me now
I'm begging you so please

Could you turn this way
Come back to me
Come back where you're meant to me
Could you come back baby, I am begging please
Come back to me

You've got me begging on my knees, oh baby please
Come back to me
Oh baby hold me now I'm begging you, so please
There is nothing I wouldn't do
Anything for you
Oh baby hold me now
I'm begging you so please

On The Horizon (German Translation)

Am Horizont

(Melanie Chisholm / Rhett Lawrence)

 
Jeder sieht etwas anderes am oder hinter dem Horizont.
Wenn du da dunkle Wolken sehen solltest:
die verfliegen schnell.

Ich für meinen Teil kann nichts mehr sehen außer dir.
Kann niemanden ansehen außer dir.
Also: bitte nimm diesen Traum und mach ihn wahr.

Diese Welt konnte so schwer, so hart sein.
Bevor ich dich kennengelernt hatte, war ich kurz davor, aufzugeben.
Wollte nicht mehr versuchen, das Gute anstatt dem Schlechten zu sehen.
Nur seit dem es dich gibt, und jedes Mal, wenn ich dich sehe,
beginne ich zu verstehen, worum es geht:
mehr geben, als man nimmt.

Und wenn ich jetzt auf den Horizont sehe,
dann sehe ich dich.
Dich und deine Augen.
Und dann fliege ich dort hin.

Nochwas:
Ich will nie Schmerz in diesen Augen sehen.
Weil du der bist, der mich frei gemacht hat.
Und weil uns nix weh tun kann, solange wir zusammen sind.
 

Translation by / übersetzt von  Bernd Mohrhoff (SWR3)
