Just a Sad Affair
music & lyrics © Tony Cliff
Verse
A photograph fell from you pocket
Just the other day
A picture I never wanted to see
Your wife and your children
I just had to turn away
Happy faces smiling at me
Chorus
They tell me I'm crazy
That it's just a sad affair
They say I should find a man
That I don't have to share
I know I should leave you
But it's more than I can bear
I close my eyes and I see you there.
Verse
So many secrets
In a tangled web of lies
Moments of passion, long nights alone
The secret meetings
And the many sad goodbyes
Endless waiting for the telephone
Chorus

You’d Better Make Up Your Mind
(lyrics and music © Tony Cliff)
Verse
I know that you’ve been playing around
I have my sources got my ear to the ground
I s’pose you think I’m always here to be found
(patiently waiting)
We always seem the perfect match
When life’s this good there has to be a catch
Don’t throw it away broken hearts are never patched
Bridge
You and me make such a great team
So the hell d’you have to act so mean
You look me in the eyes
And tell me I’m the girl of your dreams, Oh baby
Like a fool I believe you
Chorus
Won’t wait for ever ‘cos life’s too short
I’m not some item that you’ve just bought
If you want me
You’d better make up your mind
Verse
Is this a stage you’re going through?
Proving you can still find somebody new
You’d better watch out I could play that game too
(And who’d be the winner?)
Patience is a virtue they always say
You just wait and it’ll be OK
But I’m not sure that I could wait one more day
Bridge
You and me make such a great team
So the hell d’you have to act so mean
You look me in the eyes
And tell me I’m the girl of your dreams, Oh baby
Like a fool I believe you
Chorus
Won’t wait for ever ‘cos life’s too short
I’m not some item that you’ve just bought
If you want me
You’d better make up your mind

Anyway
© Tony Cliff
It was love at first sight
Like they say in the movies
A star shining bright
Out of the dark
I had to get to know you
I could not let you go
We must be together, anyway
Now we are a pair
Life couldn’t be better
We’ve so much to share
And so much to learn
I guess my ship has landed
You’re my harbour from the storm
We must be together, anyway
Bridge
I s’pose you just know
You know when something’s right
I’ll keep you warm if ever you’re cold
I s’pose you just know
And these feelings you can’t fight
We’ll still be together when we’re old
Here’s looking at you, kid
I think it was Bogart
You know I feel blue
If we’re ever apart
So don’t ever leave me
I will never let you down
We must be together, anyway
‘cos it’s the simple truth
We must be together, anyway

How Will I Ever Trust Again
Music © Tony Cliff Lyrics © John Goodier
Verse
Your voice so strong and tender
and the trembling of your hands
I'm remembering the day we made those vows
I'm sure you spoke the truth then
so I just don't understand
how the truth can be so very different now
Chorus
Yes I can take it
If that's the way it has to be
I love you so I'll let you go
If you really must be free
Oh yes, I can take it
I can learn to hide the pain
But tell me darling if you know
how will I ever trust again
Verse
Your face so proud and handsome
& the sparkle in your eyes
I fell in love again each time you smiled
you ask me to forgive you
but don't ask me not to cry
now I feel just like a lost abandoned child
Chorus
Instrumental (half verse)
I'm sure you spoke the truth........
Final Chorus

We Just Need
© Tony Cliff 2014
Verse 1
While our leaders look on horrified
So the story goes
We're all fighting the same old foes
And finding no repose
So the story goes
Goes on and on
We just need
To learn to get along
Verse 2
All religions teaching peace and love
Seems they're preaching lies
We just find new ways to despise
New ways to break all ties
Then we look to the skies
And make a new creed
We just need
To learn to sing the same song
Verse 3
Never happy when we have enough
We're taught to worship greed
Not content with what we need
We must be in the lead
But there's a world to feed
While we check our phones
We just need
To know when we're wrong
To know when we're wrong
Learn to sing the same song
And learn to get along

Here I Go Again
Music and lyrics © Tony Cliff
Verse
Well I've been hurt before
and made to look a fool
Whenever love has let me down
And I'm taken by surprise
When someone treats me badly
I don't expect to be pushed around
Bridge
My friends all tell me that I'd better watch my step
I never listen to a word
Chorus
'Cause I lose my sense when I'm with you
I try to think but it's all in vain
And I'd do anything you want me to
Look out 'cause here I go again
Verse
They say I'm a sweet girl
they don't like to see me hurt
And I should listen to their advice
Look before you leap in love
Is all they seem to tell me
Or I'm just bound to pay the price
Bridge
But my intuition tells me there's a better way
Now you've just got to prove me right
Chorus
'Cause I lose my sense when I'm with you
I try to think but it's all in vain
And I'd do anything you want me to
Look out 'cause here I go again

Should I Stay (or Just Get Out of Here)
© Tony Cliff
Verse 1
You say things are fine
Tell me everything will be OK
I see tell-tale signs
You would rather look the other way
Where are you going
When you’re out at night
We end up shouting and picking a fight
Verse 2
Time was when things were sweet
You had that look and I just felt so sure
Time past things have changed
All our laughter just went out the door
Now I don’t know you
You’re not the same
Inch by inch I’m going insane
Chorus
I search my brain, thinking what to do
Again and again, I’m looking for a clue
So baby
Should I stay or just get out of here
Verse 3
Don’t know if you’re playing around
You’re so good at covering up your tracks
But I won’t be someone’s clown
Just give me time to collate the facts
Ain’t no detective
Going through your things
Just want the trust that true love brings
Chorus
Inst (over half verse)
…..Now I don’t know you
You’re not the same
Inch by inch I’m going insane
Chorus
I search my brain, thinking what to do
Again and again, I’m looking for a clue
So baby
Should I stay or just get out of here, should I stay or just get out of,
Should I stay or just get out of here.

She Never Knew Him
© Tony Cliff
Verse 1
They were young lovers, the original childhood sweethearts
Only eyes for one another, could not bear to be apart
Engaged to be married the wedding date was set
Their lives mapped out before them, they seemed a certain bet
Verse 2
Bought their first house a two-up terrace on the street
They were so proud then just finding their feet
Made the place so cosy working hard on their careers
Good times with their friends, through the laughter and the tears
Chorus
She never knew him
He was an illusion
She never knew him
& their love was just a delusion
Thought he was strong
Turned out he was so weak
She never knew him
Now the future looks bleak
Verse 3
Just as they sold their house to buy a bigger place
A bomb dropped on their perfect life and sunk it without trace
Messages on his mobile told of more than one affair
A double life revealed to her a love beyond repair
Chorus
She never knew him........
Bridge
Had to hold herself together, she could not fall apart
Be strong for the children and hide a broken heart
As his life went off the track, lost his job and his pride
The drink was not the answer, there was no place to hide
Final Chorus
But she never knew him
He was an illusion
She never knew him
& their love was just a delusion
Thought he was strong
Turned out he was so weak
She never knew him
Now the future looks bleak, how could he be so weak,
And just throw it all away

Steal Me
(Music © Tony Cliff Lyrics © Nicola Edwards/Tony Cliff)
Verse 1
Like a thief you come to steal me
Truth is you're really gonna free me
All this time that you've been seeking
Now we can start a new beginning
And when you tell me that you need me
I burn like fire in eternity
Then you put your arms around me
And you're everything I need
Verse 2
Won't you tell me that you love me?
Won't you tell me that you know me?
Without you I am never breathing
Held captive in this empty grieving
I really need to hear your voice tonight
Oh just one word will make it all seem right
I cannot sleep if I'm without you
And I cannot find my way
Chorus
Setting my soul on fire
You're setting my soul on fire
Soaring higher and higher
I am yours
Captive in your arms
So alive and un-alarmed
Surrounded by this calm
I am yours
Verse 3
So your love begins to soak me
Sweet water bringing all serenity
I'm ready when you want to steal me
You are the root of our new history
As the night begins to cloak us
Your love will never lose its focus
Like running water for the dry
This love will never die
Bridge
Once there was a time when I was lost in a maze
A lonely soul adrift on stormy seas
Once there was a time I was walking in a daze
But you came to me and handed me the key
Repeat Verse 1
Repeating last line:
And you're everything I need, you're everything I need, you're everything I, need.

That Time and Place
© Tony Cliff
Verse 1
We met in the wintertime the snow was all around
Windows were all frozen up frost on the ground
We snuggled up together to keep each other warm
Telling stories laughing right through the storm
Bridge 1
Set up home together in that February chill
Barely scraped the rent each month could not hide our thrill
Chorus
My mind drifts backwards to that time and place
When we were happy just lying face to face
Verse 2
Now the years have flown by and our lives have changed so much
Texts and emails just to keep in touch
And the pressures mounting there are deadlines to be met
All that money earned just to pay our debts
Bridge 2
You’re travelling ‘round the country rushing from here to there
Hardly time to see the kids or notice my despair
Chorus
My mind drifts backwards to that time and place
When we were happy just lying face to face
Inst (over verse)
Bridge 2
You’re travelling ‘round the country rushing from here to there
Hardly time to see the kids or notice my despair
Final Chorus
My mind drifts backwards to that time and place
When we were happy just lying face to face,
Face to face,
My mind drifts backwards to that time and place

Let Me Be Your Baby Tonight
© Tony Cliff
Let me be your baby tonight
I wanna be your baby tonight
I could be who you want me to be
If you let me be your baby tonight
Let me be your lover tonight
I wanna be your lover tonight
We could dance till the break of dawn
If you let me be your lover tonight
Bridge
Won't you be my honey child
And love me night and day
Me oh my, 'cos you drive me wild
And send my blues away
Let me be your baby tonight
I wanna be your baby tonight
I could be who you want me to be
If you let me be your baby tonight
(long guitar solo)
