So This Is Eden Written by  John Waite, Jonathan Cain, Russ Ballard Lead Vocals by John Waite (Na na nanana nana, na na nanana nana na) Eden yeah (Na na nanana nana, na na nanana nana na) Too far gone to turn around, as I make it into town I said driver, take my suitcase, where's that good time goin' down Hit the freeway to the skyline, need some faster ecstasy If she's got a prize, then I've got the money She said for you the first one's free And I thought I saw Jesus in the hotel room As we made love on the balcony With a drink in my hand, like they said it would be, yeah So this is Eden So this is Eden And baby I knew it That you'd lead me to it I don't wanna get out (Na na nanana nana, na na nanana nana na) Eden Feel the pressure rise in the elevator Make our way down to the street Soul sister, sing a song for me Drunks and junkies shuffle their feet It's a three ring circus, down town Mavelone We were crashing and burning For twenty-four hours the p

Straight To Your Heart Written by  John Waite, Jonathan Cain, Neal Schon, Marc Spiro Lead Vocals by John Waite I can't reach behind your eyes You always look away You hide behind your alibis And change your mind From day to day If there's something I can do Then I'll be there Outside your broken world You'll see it's me who cares Take me straight to your heart Cause this time's real And real lasts forever I know where you are Cause you know I've been there before Straight to your heart I watch you move And I watch you dance I watch you drift away And I'd give anything for you And you know that's bad When it gets that way You can't go on like this And I don't wanna fight again I don't give a damn anymore Right or wrong you're gonna let me in Straight to your heart Cause this time's real and this time's forever I know where you are Baby I've been there before Straight to your heart this time this time Baby I know where you a

Time Stood Still [Bad English featuring Ricky Phillips]

Time Stood Still Written by  John Waite, Ricky Phillips, Jesse Harms Lead Vocals by John Waite The first time that I saw you You were dancin' on the beach Poetry in motion But you seemed so out of reach And the waves were breakin' 'round you In the California sunset I made a wish to know you And touch your golden hair You turned around and looked at me And paradise was there Baby I remember the way you took my hand Yesterday Time stood still As we walked into the night together The memory is locked in our hearts forever It seems just like yesterday Time stood still We found a little seaside bar High above the rocks You were drinking white wine And I was doing shots I wondered if you'd stay the night You just took my hand and led the way Time stood still As we made love through the night together The memory is locked in our hearts forever Time stood still Time stood still The memory is locked in our hearts forever Oh yeah I thought that I'd seen love before But what

The Time Alone With You [Bad English featuring Ricky Phillips]

The Time Alone With You Written by  John Waite, Jonathan Cain, Diane Warren Lead Vocals by John Waite When everything is cloudy And the sun won't shine for me And it seems Like nothing's goin' right There's a place I want to be Just laying there beside you In the shelter of your room I leave the world Outside your door Lose myself in you When you're in my arms I find all that I need I could never live without The heaven that you showed me I've been waiting all my life Just to look into your eyes I live for the time alone with you And when I climb The stairs to find you And we reach for the light I thank God I've got this time alone with you Your kiss can captivate me And your touch can set me free I count the hours baby Till you are next to me And it's taken such a long time To find someone that understands When I reach out for love now I reach out for your hand When I feel your heart beat It makes me come alive I don't wanna live without Something t

Dancing Off The Edge Of The World [Bad English featuring Ricky Phillips]

Dancing Off The Edge Of The World Written by  John Waite, Jonathan Cain, Neal Schon Lead Vocals by John Waite In the rhythm of the street The steam is rising You can feel the heat She puts on her make-up Puts shoes on her feet She's going down tonight You can feel it from a distance Like a nuclear bomb She knows she's looking good With the new dress on And all the guys with the x-ray eyes Check her out as she walks on by She's a primitive girl No jewel like money's buyin' A slave to the rhythm A rhythm machine I wanna make that girl Make that scene There's a heatwave on the floor tonight Watch her move Watch her melt the ice She's in ecstasy She spins and she whirls Dancing off the edge Off the edge of the world I'm looking for a hot romance How am I gonna get that girl When she's dancing off the edge of the world Dancing off the edge Watch her move In the rhythm of the beat She motions her body She becomes complete With the rock 'n roll music It

Rebel Say A Prayer [Bad English featuring Ricky Phillips]

Rebel Say A Prayer Written by  John Waite, Jonathan Cain, Russ Ballard Lead Vocals by John Waite In the midnight rain Johnny throws a stance Says "love me tender love me true" And in the doorway there She looks up at him And she says "you know I do" But Johnny's on the run Cause he stole a gun He needs to disappear Johnny shot a man And now he's scared She whispers in his ear Rebel say a prayer That there's a place somewhere Where rock and roll goes on And we'll be free There's glory waiting there Can feel it in the air Rebel say a prayer (rebel say a prayer rebel say a prayer) I'll meet you there (rebel say a prayer) Johnny pulls her close Says I've got to go Cause they'll come for me tonight And he turns to leave But she won't let go And they stand there in the light Baby where you go That's where I will go Love never seemed so clear If it's the last thing in the world we do We've gotta get out of here Rebel say a pr

Savage Blue [Bad English featuring Ricky Phillips]

Savage Blue Written by  John Waite, Jonathan Cain, Neal Schon Lead Vocals by John Waite When I hold you in my gaze When there's nothing else to say I can still find you when you look away You can say to me we're through You can say that you are free But you fool yourself You belong to me The more you wanna run You can't make it to the door Took a chance on love Now we both want more And tonight goes on forever I can feel it in my life I can see it in your eyes Going through this world together Finding paradise with you Into the savage blue The savage blue with you When the storm has passed us by And the crowd has come and gone I will be with you Cause our love goes on And we share a quiet place That no one else can touch Spirits live as one And our souls are free I will wait for you Now my heart's an open door Tell me that you'll stay Don't wanna lose you anymore And tonight goes on forever I can feel it in my life I can see it in your eyes Going through this wo

Pray For Rain [Bad English featuring Ricky Phillips]

Image
Pray For Rain Written by  John Waite, Neal Schon, Mark Spiro Lead Vocals by John Waite Listen to the rain come down on the roof Someone needs a miracle And I'm the livin' proof Drink Light a cigarette And let me count the ways I can hear a whisper In a haunted house these days She won't set me free She won't let me go She won't leave my soul alone She just leads me to the river As my heart goes down in flames Till she comes back to me I'll have to pray for rain Wrap yourself around me Only you can pull me through Through this desert that I call my heart I'll pray for rain to you To you To you I can see the firelight reflected on her skin She was smooth as alabaster With a taste of salt and sin Slave to a servant A prisoner to a kiss Addicted to temptation And we did not resist Now I can't get free She won't let go She won't leave my soul alone She'll just lead me to the river As my heart goes down in flames Till she comes back to me I'll

Make Love Last [Bad English featuring Ricky Phillips]

Make Love Last Written by  John Waite, Jonathan Cain Lead Vocals by John Waite Now the sand is shifting through your life The hands of time are twisting through your days A captured moment in your kiss Like winter snow it's gone Melted away There's a chapel on the edge of town Baby take my hand Before they tear it down Cause now we find nothing's what it seems Let me hold you close Through these drivin' dreams Cause the world is turning much too fast And time won't wait Gotta make love last Cause the fields are burning And there's no returning Till the future finds the past We gotta make love last Make love last Like a rose exploding in the sun A precious time to live before it's gone Tears fall on the ocean from different skies Inside your kiss I wake and find the dawn In temporary ways we give But eternally our hearts will live For now we find nothing's what it seems You better run with me Through these drivin' dreams Cause the highway's fading

Life At The Top [Bad English featuring Ricky Phillips]

Life At The Top Written by  John Waite, Jonathan Cain, Mark Spiro, Tim Pierce Lead Vocals by John Waite He looks like De Niro She's his Brigitte Bardot And that's enough to hang around With those who think they know But if you've got the image And symbols of success You must be doing something right To keep up with the Jones's They made it from the castin' couch The sex was rock an' roll They're everybody's business Inquiring minds must know Every slummy little detail Every superficial move And you can buy it retail In pink and black and blue She said Take me walking where the surf is slow He said What's wrong with right here I got places to go Life at the top Down on your knees Don't stop, don't stop Give it to me Life at the top Where nothing is free It's alright, alright Baby won't you live it with me If you get up on the table You're gonna lose your place In the city of angels Where fame's a state of grace If you need a pl
