lyrics

It came upon me My head was a mess I was lovin’ life I had to confess I couldn’t hear for the fights I couldn’t see for the sights Another night spent here with you Was only one - can we make it two Only you can give me this feeling Cos I’m on high my head is reeling You’ve got the lines They’re speeding I can’t explain I know what I’m needing Down on my knees These changing scenes Times running out You told me to go A life in double time Can we make it go slow I couldn’t hear for the fights I couldn’t see for the sights Another night spent here with you Was only one - can we make it two Only you can give me this feeling Cos I’m on high My head is reeling You’ve got the lines They’re speeding I can’t explain I know what I’m needing Down on my knees These changing scenes This is my life You know what that means To cut like a knife In these changing scenes Hear for the fights See for the sights Spent here with you Only you can give me this feeling I’m on high Cos my head is reeling You’ve got the lines They’re speeding I can’t explain I know what I’m needing Down on my knees These changing scenes Only you can give me this feeling I’m on high Cos my head is reeling You’ve got the lines They’re speeding I can’t explain You know what I’m needing Down on my knees These changing scenes Only you Only you Only you

Coming Closer 05:16
lyrics
buy track
The day that I knew Nothing lasts forever Tore it down turned around heart and soul not clever In my mind to know There’s nothing else down here below One for you one for me Blind man always knows He never shows where he goes we’re getting closer Not a sound hold me down Close to where we wanna be Where we wanna be I can see Well I can see Coming closer I never understood Coming closer Like the way it should Closer I thought we never could Closer, closer, closer Try and replace is a slap in the face Walked around and around Turned my frown upside down I know where I am Is exactly where I wanna be So strange in a way I hid out to amuse A blow in the face Our bodies lit a fuse Explosion, emotion Only so close d’ya wanna be D’ya wanna be How close d’ya wanna be? Coming closer I never understood Coming closer Like the way it should Closer I thought we never could Closer, closer, closer How close can you be? How close can you be? What can you be? How close can you be? How close can you be? How close can you be? Aaah Coming closer I never understood Coming closer Like the way it should Closer I thought we never could Closer, closer, closer Aaah Coming closer I never understood Coming closer Like the way it should Closer I thought we never could Closer, closer, closer Aaah

Not Me. Not You. Not Now. 04:28
lyrics
buy track
You’ve been hanging around the fringes of my life so long Now you want to come into my world for one night Once there was a time when that might have made me happy But now those days are gone and hell it seems so sloppy Just think a sec, don’t say it yet Gotta say somehow, not you, not now Scene’s wearing thin, only play to win Don’t say it’s only sex, there’s no such thing Why can’t you see, you don’t want me Someone, somehow, not you, not now Not you, not me, not you, not now I’ve been roaming my mind To find the lines To exclude you from my life Tainted and torn You came and turned my life Upside down Take you tonight? You think that’s alright But now those days are gone You made my life so sloppy Just think a sec, don’t say it yet Gotta say somehow, not you, not now Scene’s wearing thin, only play to win Don’t say it’s only sex, there’s no such thing Why can’t you see, you don’t want me Someone, somehow, not you, not now Not you, not me, not you, not now Ow! Ow! Ow!

Take a ride to the centre Take a hold of my heart For the journey of a lifetime I knew from the start Balloons Flying high On a lonely mission I never thought that I Would be seeing you again From the centre of my heart I told you from the start But you came with a palette And coloured All of my chart Into the night I feel plenty Hold on to my heart For the journey of a lifetime This is only the start From the centre of my heart I told you from the start But you came with a palette And coloured All of my chart Ba da da da Ba da da da All of my heart From the centre of my heart I told you from the start But you came with a palette And coloured All of my chart Ooh ooh ooh Oh oh oh But you came with a palette And coloured All of my chart Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Ohhhhhhhhhh All of my heart

Left wondering Where it was all gonna go Stood in a line Like watching a really bad show Time to change it Time to go around Time to hide my feelings Don’t take it Don’t fake it Just feel it You can be it When you see it But you need it Climb in and be it You can feel it Yeah, yeah, yeah There is something That I really need to know Your love came around You never let it show Don’t take it Don’t fake it Just feel it You can be it When you see it But you need it Climb in and be it Yeah, yeah Good feeling Yeah, yeah, yeah Don’t take away The right of the night In my eye You’re mine and that’s Carved in the very Last sigh Don’t take it Don’t fake it Just feel it You can be it When you see it But you need it Climb in and be it You can feel it This good feeling This good feeling

lyrics

I won’t call you anymore I won’t wait outside your door I won’t wait in the neighbourhood When you leave work, even though I could And you won’t see me around Places we went in town It hurts me more than you, I’m sure I won’t call you anymore I won’t call you anymore I won’t fold like I did before I won’t tell you to come back I won’t speak of the love we had I won’t tell you that I loved you More than I wanted to And though this hurting doesn’t have a cure I won’t call you anymore Temptation begged me for sure I picked my heart off the floor Thought I wouldn’t see you anymore I won’t call you anymore Say how good that it was before I might cry, but I won’t call I might stumble but I won’t fall I won’t tell you how much I miss you How much I want to kiss you Maybe I’d just pick myself off the floor If you’d just call me once more I won’t call you anymore Pick my heart off the floor

I never noticed What I wanted What I needed Too much upheaval Easy to say that I know there is a way Easy to know that That you could find a way But you came and you told me There’s a room to unfold me Ohhh Oh what a dilemma I’ve got nowhere to go Everything’s so shallow I need to lie low I never noticed What I needed Easy to say that Now that it passed me by I know There’s nowhere to go If what you call bliss Is unintended What you needed It isn’t feeble It’s not to say that Maybe there is a way Easy to know that If you could find a way But you came and you found me Always stun and astound me Ohhh Oh what a dilemma When there’s nowhere to go People are so shallow They pretend that they know I never noticed What they needed Easy to say that Now that it pass me by I know There’s nowhere to go Ohhh Oh what a dilemma I’ve got nowhere to go Everything’s so shallow I need to lie low I never noticed What I needed Easy to say that Now that it pass me by I know I never noticed What they needed Easy to say that Now that it pass me by I know There’s nowhere to go

Slipping Away 04:23

Take away a simplistic father Now I know I'll never see Pray that someone gives me an answer Do I have to go on bended knee Ask a million questions Won't be good enough Why can't we live in peace The pain I feel, the emptiness Hole’s inside rising stress Please help me Here is a simplistic mother A father she will never see Prays to God she will get answers That someone sets her living hell free Watches walls they're closing in now She will never have her peace Pain and the emptiness No love it's all a mess Love her please I touched you I never knew It would be The very last time I'd ever see you Can I touch you Slipping away Walk with me and Smiled at you and For the last time I'd ever see you Slipping away Slipping away Mud and water mixed like a bath now Enemies are rising like thieves No one’s there to give any answers We're falling like trees Asked a million questions No one hears No one’s gonna live in peace The pain I feel, the emptiness Hole's inside, we’re all bereft Washed at sea I touched you I never knew It would be The very last time I'd ever see you Can I touch you Slipping away Walk with me and Smiled at you and For the last time I'd ever see you Slipping away Slipping away Walk with me and Smiled at you and For the last time I'd ever see you Slipping away Slipping away

Yes I’ve loved Yes I’ve laughed Loved hard Laughs were plenty But you made my face rain And I didn’t ask for pain My love was too huge for you Your face was weathered Your soul was feathered I loved you strong again Let me be me Then I can love again This is my rain face It wasn’t part of a plan Yes I’ve cried Loved you too much Saw your reflection I felt your touch Then you made my face rain It wasn’t hard to love again My face, your touch Loving you was just too much Two souls in rhythm My heart can’t fathom We’re bound as one again Let me be me Then I can love again This is my rain face It wasn’t part of a plan Part of a plan Part of a plan Ooh ooh ooh Let me be me Then I can love again This is my rain face It wasn’t part of a plan Part of a plan Part of a plan

It only took a minute You were my long lost hour I pictured you in it Like the petals of a flower He loves me He loves me not In my heart I felt a knot I heard music playing A harp spoke to me saying Just one moment It’ll only take a moment Just one moment It’ll only take a moment Rested on your shoulder I could stay here for the lifetime If you let me But I get the feeling Moving on, moving out We never used to shout Just music playing But yet our destiny’s decaying Just one moment It’ll only take a moment Just one moment Moment, moment Just one moment Just one moment Just one moment

about

"There is a whole lot to appreciate on this (Part of a Plan) album. The production, songwriting and performances are all top notch. Take a listen."
Matt Jensen, Divide and Conquer - 12th February 2020

"Coming Closer dazzles with its retro-ambience, persuasive rhythmic flow and the lush voice of Sallie-Anne Hurst. Hurst’s voice is scrumptious, full of radiant tones and sumptuous inflections. There’s a subterranean sensuality to her voice that’s tumescent and alluring.”
Randy Radic, Rawckus Magazine - April 17, 2019
