Limit

Words & Music: nik


you push me to the limit
you lead me to despair
you drive me to distraction
and you do it because you don't care

I want to take you there someday
I want to show you how it feels
I want to teach you a lesson
it's a load of crap, when they say time heals

you always take your chances
you've never got regrets
you'll try your luck with anyone
you do it just to hedge your bets

I want to take you away from here
I want to bury you deep
I want to see you disappear
if you're out the way, I might get some sleep


No way out

Lyrics: A. Heasman Music: nik

no way out of this life
without pain, without trouble ahead.
no way out you fool
so face up, you better make it this time

(no-no)

you take me the long way,
I know, cos I've been there before.
I take the things the wrong way,
but like a circle I keep coming around to the same place.
I keep waiting for the moment
for us to exchange
a few words, a few gestures
a few minutes to contemplate.

no way out of this life
without pain, without trouble ahead.
no way out you fool,
so face up, you better make it this time.
no way out of this life
without pain, without trouble ahead.
no way out you fool,
so face up, you better make it this time.

still I stay silent,
it seems more appropriate.
but I'm feeling a longing
to start a new life, and every day I find
I keep hoping, for that moment
when something good will happen to me.
a few words, a few gestures,
a few minutes to step back inside.

baby, you got me feeling a strange way.
baby, I got to know if you feel the same way, the same way?


no way out of this life
without pain, without trouble ahead.
no way out you fool,
so face up, you better make it this time.
no way out of this life
without pain, without trouble ahead.
no way out you fool,
so face up, you better make it this time.

(break)

still I stay silent,
it seems more appropriate.
but I'm feeling a longing
to start a new life, and every day I find
I keep hoping, for that moment
when something good will happen to me.
a few words, a few gestures,
a few minutes to step back inside.

no way out of this life
without pain, without trouble ahead.
no way out you fool,
so face up, you better make it this time.
no way out of this life
without pain, without trouble ahead.
no way out you fool,
so face up, you better make it this time.

Song & Dance: Oceanic

Words & Music: nik

My dreams are coming true, my horizon is in view,
I'm taking on the world, part of the Oceanic crew.
There's the Captain and the bosun and my mate the cabin boy.
I'm a sailor, navigator, shouting land ahoy.

(chorus)
Let me sail into the sunset, feel the ocean breeze,
Circumnavigate the globe, I will cross the seven seas.
Break the surf, ride the swell, all the world lies in the haze.
Through the calm, through the storm, I will ride the ocean waves.

We're sad to see you leave, as you sail into the sun.
We know that you'll work hard, we know that you'll have fun.
Leaving on a voyage to Caribbean shores.
Aye, Aye Cap'n, make it happen, all the world is yours.

(repeat chorus)

It's time to make the break, start the mariner's trek.
An adventure all at sea, a fortune made on deck.
An aquatic exploration will soon be under way.
Time to go, heave ho! The ship sets sail today.

(repeat chorus)

Settle down, settle down and relax.

It's the Orient Express without it's tracks.

Whether buffet, restaurant meal, or barbecue.
There's a new menu every day offering delicious food.
So sit back and enjoy the lovely view.
Liz: There's a theatre and a dance floor right near the bar,
A casino, a piano and theme nights.
You can have a wee drink 'cause you don't the car,
Back to your cabin for sweet dreams tonight.
All three: No telephone to disturb you,
Nor traffic to annoy,
Just blazing sun on deck and ocean deep...ahoy!
All Ents: Welcome, oh welcome, aboard our ship,

After all he's only a bloke

Words & Music: nik

Susan: I love my man, he's my guiding light,
He holds me close, keeps me warm at night,
Gives me my dreams, I provide the meals,
I give him my heart, he supplies the wheels.
Natasha: You can survive you don't need him,
You gotta hold on to your freedom,
You can't be a wife just to feed him.
He'll treat you like a joke.
Get on with your life and just shed him,
Forget all that crap about weddin'
When it's all over, just give him the shoulder,
After all he's only a bloke.
Mandy: I miss my guy, he took good care of me,
I want him by my side to keep me company.
He told me of his love; I need him to be mine,
Said he'd never stray, well ain't that freakin' fine!
Natasha: You can survive you don't need him,
You gotta hold on to your freedom,
You shouldn't obey, we should lead 'em,
He'll treat you like a joke.
Get on with your life and just shed him,
Forget all that crap about weddin'
When it's all over, just give him the shoulder,
After all he's only a bloke.
Break
Candy: I am in need, of a man to turn me on.
Sweep me off my feet, and in the morning he'll be gone.
I like 'em strong. I'll take what I can find,
I will lead 'em home, and let 'em blow my mind!
Natasha: You can survive you don't need him,
You gotta hold on to your freedom,
Hang onto your pride and don't heed 'em.
He'll treat you like a joke.
Get on with your life and just shed him,
Forget all that crap about weddin'
When it's all over, just give him the shoulder,
After all he's only a bloke.
All: We can survive we don't need 'em,
We gotta hold on to our freedom,
We shouldn't obey, we should lead 'em.
He'll treat you like a joke.
Get on with your life and just shed him,
Forget all that crap about weddin'
When it's all over, just give him the shoulder,
Mandy: After all he's only a bloke.
All: After all he's only a bloke!

Billy's Solo (plus lyrical dancers)

Words & Music: nik

All alone, far from home,
No-one to hold or to tell.
Words that are spoken, dreams that are broken,
Why should this happen to me?

Things so nearly, cost me so dearly,
How do I know where to turn?
What of tomorrow, how will it be?
Why should this happen to me?

The sun in the blue sky, but the blues in my soul,
Have they stolen my dream, left me a hole?
My heart is an ocean, just draining away,
I don't have the strength for another day.

Feeling fearful, almost tearful,
I don't know how to hold on.
What of the future, has it all gone?
Why has this happened to me?

Love Is Never Simple

Words: J. Aldridge Music: nik

Billy: I was all alone in this sunny place,
No friendly smile, no loving face.
Laughter all around, but it's cold inside,
So all alone, I cried and cried.

Then you came along, led me by the hand,
Now I can fight, I can be a man.
With you by my side, I just came alive,
Naivety gone, I know I will survive.
Liz: Love is never simple, never black and white,
Nice guys do exist, but they're just not right.
No thunder bolt, no spark of light,
But a warm embrace on a winter night.

A faithful hand, a trusting look,
A friend in need, is all it took.
So hold me now, hold me near,
I'm here for you, there's no more fear.
Gary: I move a little closer to you,
Not knowing quite what to do.
A forbidden love, a secret kiss,
A knowing glance, a longful wish.
Amelia: I should be floating above the clouds,`
But my feet are down amongst the crowds.
A sad farewell, a broken heart,
A single tear, we're ripped apart.
A & G: The love we share will still go on,
Our thoughts together, we'll act as one.
We may be alone, but it won't be long,
We'll meet again, we must just be strong.
