The Warmer Side of Cool lyrics

(Nick Feldman)

I don't wanna play these games of power
I don't wanna fight this war no more
Don't wanna twist the knife
Just wanna better life for me & you & me & you

Chorus:
Is this what you call love
Is this what we've been fighting for
Is this what you call love
There must be so much more
Is this what you call love
Forget old scores we should be making love
Not war

(Jack Hues)

I feel the tension
In your hand
I'm on a plane to a
Foreign land
So far away with no
Telephone line
I'm flying into spring
And leaving winter behind

I know it'll be winter
In your heart
Icy stone cold winter
All the time we're apart

Chorus:
As I look at you
Looking back at me
The wordless tears in your eyes
What's inside of you?
What's inside of me?

(Feldman / Hues / Chandler)

You're awake as dawn breaks, another day
And the grey clouds weep how you feel
But the way she touch you just bring you back to life
Don't let them bury your soul in concrete and steel

Chorus:
So what's so bad about feeling good?
What's so bad, what's so bad?
What's so bad about feeling good?
What's so bad, what's so bad?

(Jack Hues)

Well I'm sitting on a hillside
On the warmer side of cool
With the future laid before me
Like a green and misty jewel
And to climb above the tree line
Is only for the fools
So they say
So they say

Chorus:
On the warmer side of cool
What you feel in your heart is all
On the warmer side of cool
Being cool it's so easy to be cold

Well I'm sitting by the seaside

(Jack Hues)

Tall trees in a blue sky
Stand together don't ask why
Stretch up to the blue sky
Pierce that ceiling if you try
You say these feelings do not last
Well I am gonna prove you wrong
You say our future's in the past
But I am gonna turn you on

Bright leaves in the sunshine
Pick me up when I feel down
Deep freeze if we don try
Seems like we go round and round

(Nick Feldman)

Baby Ben really likes to swing
Baby Ben really feels like a king
As the wail of the horns make his body sway
Peggy Sue likes to rock and roll
Peggy Sue gonna lose control
As electric guitars play all her fears away

Chorus:
You gotta swing down tonight
Swing it real tight
Swing with your baby tonight
You gotta swing down tonight
It's gotta feel right

(Jack Hues)

Let's rent a place in town
Somewhere we can call our own
Let's knock these barriers down
We need to spend some time alone
Everything in the world has a name
Oh doesn't it make you feel
Like you've moved into a rented apartment
Everything is real
But it doesn't belong to you

Chorus:
All the words are dead, so we need to
Snakedance
All the words are dead, so we need to

(Feldman / Chandler / Hues)

What got into you got into me too
What came over you is coming over me
Feel like I've had enough of all the old stuff
I saw the writing on the wall on my T.V.
It's another second coming, like it or not, yeah,
oh yeah
It's another second coming, like it or not
You better start praying to a new God

Start praying, praying to a new God

Logic and love
(feldman / chandler)

Love and logic just don’t go together
Try to force it, you’ll be trying forever
Why discuss it when you’re missing the point
Girl
Forget the fakin’ all I care is that you’re

Chorus:
Making all the right moves
You’re making all the moves that hit the spot
You’re speaking only half-truths girl

(Jack Hues)

You woke me from my sleep we quietly crept
Outside
This memory I'll keep of bitter crimson
Winter sunrise lost in the icy silence
Our warm breath fading in the air

I'm not sure why I tell you still less what I mean
It's like a dream and maybe there's no cause
But in the end it's
What you can give to someone
How you can help to set them free

Chorus:

(Jack Hues)

A man lives in the city
Surrounded by machines
They take away his pity
And give him what he dreams
A stream of information
On a green letter screen
Makes him feel in touch with the world
And sure of what it means

Chorus:
At the speed of light you're in endless night
At the speed of sound you don't see the ground
And in your sports car with the windows down
