Lyrics
(Nick Van Eede)

I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

I keep looking for something I can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don't see an easy way
To get out of this

Her diary, it sits by the bedside table
The curtains are closed
The cat's in the cradle
Who would've thought
That a boy like me could come to this

[CHORUS]
Oh, I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh, I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away
I should've walked away

Is there any just cause
For feeling like this
On the surface
I'm a name on a list
I try to be discreet
But then blow it again

I've lost and found
It's my final mistake
She's loving by proxy
No give and all take
Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy
One too many times

[repeat CHORUS]

It was a long hot night
She made it easy
She made it feel right
But now it's over
The moment is gone
I followed my hands
Not my head
I know I was wrong

[repeat CHORUS]

Cutting Crew – Don't Look Back
I never knew what it meant to me / 'Till someone just took the best of me / If it's some kind of conspiracy / Then no-one gets to the rest of me / I'm turning over leaves I'm
Cutting Crew – Any Colour
I dream, dream of a lonely girl / Who sleeps, lost in her lonely world / Any sunset I'd give to you / Any colour that you like, all for you / She wakes wrapped in her naked room
Cutting Crew – The Broadcast
[Intro] / Believe me when I say to you / That every word is true / That a change is going to come / You can hear it in the broadcast on your radio / [Chorus] / Why are you running
Cutting Crew – I've Been in Love Before
Oooh, oo oooh, cha / Catch my breath, close my eyes / Don't believe a word / Things she said, overheard / Something wrong inside / Hits you in a minute, oooh / Then you know you're
Cutting Crew – Fear of Falling
Midnight, feels like it's shining on me / Moonlight, taxis roll in from the sea / Shots in the dark, slaves to the big city beat / Heroes, toasted and sent to the wall / Zeroes
Cutting Crew – The Last Thing
Eede/MacMichael / I won't wait for you, i won't wait for you / In the morning / 'cause the last thing that i want / Is to see you cry / And i won't ask of you, and i won't ask of
Cutting Crew – (Another One Of My) Big Ideas
There's a million of us at it / And it's hard to break the habit / But it doesn't mean much to me / Got a million bucks of credit / And they're beggin' us to spend it / But it
Cutting Crew – Big Noise
Eede/Macmichael / One more to tie to the whipping post / Papers that peddle the holy ghost / Once more the victim of circumstance pays / If paper plates serve the final feast
Cutting Crew – The Scattering
Boys and girls will see in time / That they were wrong to go / Fires don't burn at home, like they / Used to burn, those nights / Grew so long / The scattering / (all the children
Cutting Crew – Frigid as England
Be yourself and don't be shy / I said I like you in the daylight, didn't I? / Found you in the rushes, found you screaming / Can't you see love is everything, everything / I didn't
Cutting Crew – One for the Mockingbird
I have learnt through all my past mistakes / Not to let the hurdles sap my energy / Time will tell and time is all it takes / You won't see the bastards knock the running out of me
Cutting Crew – Christians
Eede / Macmichael / [B-side to The Scattering single, from the Scattering album] / (Dance you bastards!) / The windows are open and I've been wide awake for so long / The waiting
Cutting Crew – Feel The Wedge
Farley / Like a blind man takes pictures / We pretended we could see / But it took all of our money / And it took you and me / There's a space in between us / But it's not inside
Cutting Crew – Don't Let It Bring You Down
Eede/Macmichael / Make me a promise you can't keep / Tell a joke that's not too deep / Cause I'm out of double meanings / Throw me a rope that I can't reach / As you lay back on
Cutting Crew – Life in a Dangerous Time
Put it down to the fighting / Put it down to the fools who play in the game / I'm picking up second sight / I'm picking up tired ways / But you better believe it / Oh you better
Cutting Crew – Reach For The Sky
Reach for the sky babe / Make it to heaven / Before your dreams grow old / Reach for the sky babe / It's over your shoulder / Reach for your dawn's own light / I don't believe in
Cutting Crew – Crooked Mile
Eede/Macmichael / Anyone can see what a long way home it's been / Nothing comes for free / Money talks and buys your dreams / It's a merry go / You gotta go around until you make
Cutting Crew – Your Guess Is As Good As Mine
Eede/MacMichael / What colour is your army, is it red or is it green? / Is it full of fundamentalists with loaded magazines? / Or are you preaching charity from fancy limousines
Cutting Crew – (Between A) Rock And A Hard Place
Between a rock / Between a rock and a hard place / There's a beating heart / Watching the lights go down on my world / Stoney faced / Letting the rope slip though my fingers / Ain'
Cutting Crew – I've been in love before - single version
Catch my breath, close my eyes / Don't believe a word / Things she said, overheard / Something wrong inside / It's you and admit it / Then you know you're in it / I've, I've been
Cutting Crew – It Shouldn't Take Too Long
Too many times have I told you, feel your way / If it's question of answers, then have your say / Don't go giving me reasons, we all have a price / And in that moment of indecision
Cutting Crew – No Bad Thing
Eede/Macmichael / Little Johnny's painting in his picture book / Pinning all his hopes on toy balloons / But no one taught him how to sing "Jerusalem" at school / Someone's always
Cutting Crew – Sahara
Don't let love let you down / It's been fine up to now / Sahara, I just walked into your world / Sahara, don't walk out on me now / Don't let time tie you down / It's been fine up
Cutting Crew – Everything But My Pride
If you should walk away / Take this broken heart / And if you walk away / You'll never know what's left behind / Go on and get away / Don't you leave a trace / And as you walk away
Cutting Crew – Need Someone
Eede/Macmichael / You say you feel all alone tonight / Just pick up the phone and call / You say that you don't need anybody / So there's nobody takin' you home / Whenever you need
Cutting Crew – Tip Of Your Tongue
I could be your new tomorrow / I could be your shining star / And if you should dare to follow / Woe betide your beating heart / I said -you make it happen / -you make it right / -
Gar Greatest At Rapping – Cutting Crew Freestyle
[Intro: 2xBydre] / Hairbo gummy bears / Red head nig-tarts / Seals, starfish, vertebrae, sea urchins, great white sharks / Lionfish, oyster, octopus, sea otter / I'm sick Mr
Cutting Crew – Brag
And though the fires are burning / Under the pillars of learning / I hear the wind is still howling / "Go home".... / And looking out of your window / You see a brand new tomorrow
Cutting Crew – All The Way In
Eede / Put it all the way in, don't go half way / No need to play it safe, go get it all the way in / Shed off those old tattoos, stop reading yesterday's news / Put a match to the
