was mainly in charge of the arrangements. His contribution is not mentioned because of contractual reasons. This is 
also why all musicians appear under pseudonyms - identity of percussionist "Mike Road" is not known

CLIMAX

Baby - I don’t wanna wait for so long
Baby - I don’t wanna make you come on strong
I can’t - I can’t believe you’re really near
I can’t - I can’t believe you’re really near

Surely - the feeling cannot last too long
Truly - it’s a moment, then it’s gone
Climax - I can’t believe it’s really here
Climax - I can’t believe you’re really near


YOU TRIED TO TAKE IT ALL

Oh, how I tried and I tried
Oh, how I tried to save
A little love for you
But you were not satisfied
You tried to take it all
And took me for a real hard ride

I tried to remember, I tried to recall
I offered you a little love
And you tried, you tried to take it all

Crazy with teasin’ and needin’
Your body was bleedin’ but still
You shouted out for more
The look in your eyes was misleadin’
I plead love to someone
But it never felt this good before

I tried to remember, I tried to recall
I offered you a little love
And you tried, you tried to take it all


MAKE THE FEELING LAST

I will try to make the feeling last
I will try not to love you too fast
But now this heart of mine
Is beatin’ too strong
And now the love I give to you
Is beatin’ low

But I will try to make the feeling last

Now you move so quickly
I try to tame you down
But I know you can make it alone
Please resist the feeling that
I’m tryin’ to give you
Till I’m near, oh, near

I can’t help the nights
That we have passed
I can’t help the way
That I’ve been fast
I’m in the clouds and
No-one’s listenin’ to me
Colour in spaces
In your body and see

But I will try to make the feeling last

Now you move so quickly
I try to tame you down
But I know you can make it alone
Please resist the feeling that
I’m tryin’ to give you
Till I’m near, oh, near

I can’t help the nights
That we have passed
I can’t help the way
That I’ve been fast
I’m in the clouds and
No-one’s listenin’ to me
Colour in spaces
In your body and see

I will try to make the feeling last


YOU MUST COME WITH ME

You must come with me
Won’t you try, don’t just lie there
You must come with me
Can’t you see what it’s doin’ to me

I’m doin’ my best while
You try to undress
And the colours I see
Mean so little to me
You must be fast now
That you’ve reached the last
But the colours remain
Quietly cloudin’ my brain

Now you’ll come with me
Spend the day lovin’ this way

You must come with me
Won’t you try, don’t just lie there
You must come with me
Can’t you see what it’s doin’ to me

I’m doin’ my best while
You try to undress
And the colours I see
Mean so little to me
You must be fast now
That you’ve reached the last
But the colours remain
Quietly cloudin’ my brain


THE GIRL WHO LOVED, THE GIRL WHO LOVED

The girl who loved, the girl who loved
To rest there in her arms
But lived the life of hell
When someone comes

The girl who loved, the girl who loved
To smell each passing bay
But no-one else to touch
Or speak, or play

In a deserted place he’d been a fool
Tearing her clothes and acting so cruel

The girl who loved those tender words
But never from a man
The girl who’s reached the sun
With female hands

The girl who loved the sweet caress
Of lipstick on her cheek
The girl who never knew
Of love so sweet

In a deserted place he’d been a fool
Tearing her clothes and acting so cruel

The girl who loved those tender words
But never from a man
The girl who’s reached the sun
With female hands

She lives the life of hell
When someone comes
She’s no-one else to touch
Or speak of play

The girl who’s reached the sun
With female hands
She never knew a love
A love so sweet

ORGASM

I know how to hold you
I know how to touch you now
I know how to make you feel alright

I know what you’ve been through
I know how it’s always been
But you never felt what you feel tonight

I always told you I’d do it to you
I told you I would give you such delight

I know how to hold you now
And I know how to touch you now
I know how to make you feel alright

Orgasm, orgasm

I know how to hold you
I know how to touch you now
I know how to make you feel alright

I always told you I’d do it to you
I told you I would give you such delight


THE FIRST TIME

Yes, I know it’s first time
That you’ve been lyin’ without her
Sick of the thought of a lonely night
Without her at your side

You’ve mistreated her badly
And now you’re lonely without her
Sick of the thought of the happiness
You’ve been denied

You’re playin’ the wrong kind of game
Her love, it just isn’t the same
Frustration’s gonna leave you behind

You’re makin’ the wrong kind of love
Your hand was nothing for love
Your overflowin’ river just went dry

You can still touch her discreetly
And hold her hand in the sunshine
In the place where it started
A long time ago

You feel sad just to see it now
For reasons you know in your heart
You broke your dreams and hers
By makin’ it told

You’ve spent your time runnin’ around
Sudden deeds have been bringin’ me down
But from the look on your face
I can see you’ve cried

But don’t ever say it’s the end
There’s no heart in beginnin’ again
Let no-one tell you that you haven’t tried


SCATTERING SEEDS

Scatterin’ seeds in your hand
And you’re callin’ your name
Try to remember the time
When we both felt the same

Scatterin’ seeds on my island
Now when you’re away
Knowin’ the feeling that you
Won’t be back today

And in some dreams I find
Scatterin’ seeds and losin’ my mind
But we will find a way
Went for a change we need a play
We need a play

Scatterin’ seeds when we
Can’t find a way to be sure
Leave her out just to see now
For closing the door

Scatterin’ seeds with a smile
And a tear in our eyes
Touchin’ the sun through
The glass of an evening sky

Scatterin’ seeds in your hand
And you’re callin’ your name
Try to remember the time
When we both felt the same

Scatterin’ seeds on my island
Now when you’re away
Knowin’ the feeling that you
Won’t be back today
