HOTEL SPLENDIDE On the corner I pass by dreaming
At the end of every street.
There's a house I whisper gently
And its where I'll rest my feet.
As I step in through the doorway
I turn and hesitate.
Will he follow me in my boldest dreams
Or is it already too late?
Should I stop by for just a little while
Or hurry past with speed?
Should I mention all my heartache
Or turn the other cheek?
Should I mention what I've been doing?
Did you notice how I speak?
Did I tell you what you did to me?
Did I tell you I'm in deep?
He's seen me coming now.
On the corner I pass by dreaming
At the end of my old street.
There's the house I whisper gently
and I call it Hotel Splendide.
Did you notice what I did to you?
Did you notice where I've been?
Did I tell you how I've changed my mind?
Did you notice how I speak?
He's seen me coming now.

THE SEA
This city's come between us, our hopes and all our plans
They flew a line of banners that I don't understand
So we shuffled slowly sideways-said we'd leave it all to chance
This city means more than just plans.
I came across a photo-it fell into my hands
And there you stood before me-a model to my plans
So as though I'd always known you, I began to understand
That this city means more than I can
And I can hear you calling me to the sea
Oh I can hear you calling me
Right to the sea
This city's come between us, our hopes and all our plans
It's likely no-one's seen us swing the truth between our hands
And it may not hold you dearly, or make you feel romance
But this city means more than I can
This city means more than I can.
