Steve Winwood - Back In The High Life Again - lyrics

It used to seem to me
That my life ran on too fast
And I had to take it slowly
Just to make the good parts last
But when youre born to run
Its so hard to just slow down
So dont be surprised to see me
Back in that bright part of town
Ill be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
Ill be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched me once will smile and take me in
And Ill drink and dance with one hand free
Let the world back into me
And on Ill be a sight to see
Back in the high life again
You used to be the best
To make life be life to me
And I hope that youre still out there
And youre like you used to be
Well have ourselves a time
And well dance til the morning sun
And well let the good times come in
And we wont stop til were done
Well be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
Well be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched us once will smile and take us in
And well drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
And oh well be a sight to see
Back in the high life again
Well be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
Well be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched us once will smile and take us in
And well drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
And oh well be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

Steve Winwood - Berkshire Poppies - lyrics

So many people with nothing to do
Hundreds of buildings that block out my view
Watched by a tramp with a hole in his shoe
Standing alone on the corner
Hes thinking that work is all a big joke
While he looks in the gutter for something to smoke
Two hundred kids in one red minimoke
Scream down the street fully loaded
Day in the city
Oh what a pity
I could be in berkshire where the poppies are so pretty
I could be in berkshire where the poppies are so pretty
I wish that I was there
I wanna make it out of there
People like sardines
Packed in a can
Waiting for christmas thats made in japan
And Im having trouble with my apple flan
Sat in the cafe on the corner
I walk through the green gates and into the park
Where murderers crawl after girls in the dark
Down by the shed I head a remark
I turned on but no one could hear me

Steve Winwood - Neighbor Neighbor - lyrics

Neighbour neighbour, dont wonder what goes on in my home
Youre always looking for something to gossip about
You got no trouble, my squabble grew
Something bads gonna happen to you
Neighbour neighbour, dont wonder what goes on in my home
Neighbour neighbour, dont wonder how I make my bread- yeah
cause my success you know its driving you right out of your head
Youre peeping and creeping through my hall
You got your great big ears glued down to my wall
I say neighbour neighbour, dont wonder what goes on in my home - come on!
Neighbour neighbour, dont wonder how I treat my wife - heh
Youve gone around, you falsify and deny
You got no squabble, my trouble do
Something bads gonna happen to you - I said
Neighbour neighbour, dont wonder what goes on in my home
Neighbour neighbour, dont wonder how I make my bread - heh
cause my success you know is driving you way out of your head
He got no squabble, my trouble do
Something bads gonna happen to you
I say neighbour neighbour, dont wonder what goes on in my home
Neighbour neighbour, dont wonder what goes on in my home

Cleopatra reigned over ancient egyptian empire and enthralled two of the noblest romans of all time - mark antony and julius caesar. artists portray her as a beauty but historians tell us that the real queen of the nile was short, hairy, and overweight. she was also not an egyptian. cleopatra overcame those natural flaws with charm and a positive attitude.

Beethoven lost his hearing yet went on to compose immortal symphonies. helen keller was born without the ability to speak yet she lectured around the world. milton could no longer see when he wrote the classic paradise lost. deaf, dumb, blind - handicaps which might have stopped them cold, but instead spurred them on to their greatest achievements. and did I mention julius caesar, conqueror of the then known world? he was from birth an epileptic.

Great men have always drawn strength from great men who preceded them. during the darkest hours of the cuban missile crisis, president john f kennedy found courage through the mental picture method. he turned to his mental picture of babe ruth, the home run king who held the major league record for strike-outs. and who was in babe ruths mind when he stepped up to the plate? none other than thomas a edison, who after a thousand failed inventions managed to come up with the light bulb, the telephone transmitter and the phonograph.

Steve Winwood - And I Go - lyrics

My girl white in a yellow light
Looks so good
And it takes me
Love so bright she can love all night
Shows me all she knows
Painter paint the scene
Hold us in a dream
Feel what it means
When she takes me
Oh, she plays her part
Holds me in her heart
Knows from the start
She can take me
And she takes me
And I go
When Im bound in the london ground
Play this song
Itll take you
Say her love was a velvet glove
Held my life through
See us in the morning sun
How the colors run

Steve Winwood - Angel Of Mercy - lyrics

Every little thing that can go wrong
Dont you know I realize
All the trouble that goes on so long
Restoration of it seems so wise
But when the hope and the love has gone
Youre the one the world is searching for
Hold on for the way gets clear
For your love, for our love
Thats what Im saying
Angel of mercy,
Wont you stay with me, wont you stay with me?
Take a little water to cool you down
Reach out to your furthest dream
If you find that youve been turned around
Get back up and try again
Though your futures not plain
Your efforts not in vain
For we are in need of
Your sweet touch - please be near us
When the sun turns to rain
Then our loss can be gain
If you could reach out
Take my hand, yeah

Steve Winwood - Ask Anybody - lyrics

Hes a devil and an angel
Ooh, the combinations driving me wild
Drive me wild
Hes a saint and hes a sinner
Ooh somehow he acts just like a beginner
I guess hes still a child
Chorus:
Ask anybody, ask anybody
Theyll say Im going wrong
They say that I should walk out
But thats not what I want
Ask anybody and theyll all say the same
But thats all right
cause I know somehow
We can make it all right
And Im putting up a fight
Somehow, somewhere
Hell change
And well try it all over again
Without all the pain.

Steve Winwood - Back In The High Life - lyrics

BACK IN THE HIGH LIFE AGAIN
Steve Winwood
(Jackie Edwards/James David Miller)
It used to seem to me that my life ran on too fast
And I had to take it slowly just to make the good parts last
But when you're born to run it's so hard to just slow down
So don't be surprised to see me back in that bright part of town
I'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
I'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched me once will smile and take me in
And I'll drink and dance with one hand free
Let the world back into me and on I'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again
You used to be the best to make life be life to me
And I hope that you're still out there and you're like you used to be
We'll have ourselves a time
And we'll dance till the morning sun
And we'll let the good times come in
And we won't stop till we're done
We'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched us once will smile and take us in
And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily and oh we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again
We'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched us once will smile and take us in
And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily and oh we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

Steve Winwood - Uninspired - lyrics

Sometimes I feel so uninspired
Sometimes I feel like giving up
Sometimes I feel so very tired
Sometimes I feel like Ive had enough
Sometimes you feel like youve been hired
Sometimes you feel like youve been bought
Sometimes you feel like your rooms been wired
Sometimes you feel like youve been caught
But dont let it get you down
There is no reason for not failing
Youve got to smile and turn the other cheek
So today you might get up
But by tomorrow youll be sailing
And you wont even hear these words I speak
Some people want to be so desired
Some people cant stand the light of day
Somebodys laughing while someone is crying
But for to want in the close of the day
But sometimes I feel like my head is spinning
Im gonna cave with all I see
I dont know whos losing and I dont care whos winning
Hardship and trouble following me

Steve Winwood - Utterly Simple - lyrics

Everything really is stupidly simple
And yet all around is utter confusion
Fairy tales written may help you to see it
Do you understand about lewiss alice?
We fit all our lives into regular patterns
All that we really know is that were really living
(spoken:
The man that seeks the world, his wisdom seeks to know his mind
And knowing where his feet should walk, and when he should or should not talk
And have a friend to find
Dont look around to find the sound thats right beneath your feet
The hermit sits inside his cave and seeks to know his mind
Staring into empty space and seeing things in peoples faces others cannot find
Dont look around to find the sound thats right beneath your feet)
Weve nothing to hide so why try to hide it?
I know there are some but theyre screwed up inside
If you need a reason for all this Im singing
Its simpleness really that gives it its meaning
