Teardrop Explodes/80s song lyrics

[DingleBoy]

Does anybody have a good site I can look at for 80s song lyrics from:

Teardrop Explodes - specifically TINY CHILDREN;
Wah/Pete Wyle/Mighty Wah - 7 MINS TO MIDNIGHT, U BETTER SCREAM, COME BACK;
The Yachts - SUFFICE TO SAY;
Care - FLAMING SWORD.

I'm desperate to find these lyrics so anyone who can help would be greatly appreciated!!!

[billo]

tiny children
Half the time as I sit in disarray
I am thinking of a dream I never had
Then I awake, and for a while
I call your name in Colin’s house
But tiny children have a way of falling down

Oh, I could make a meal
Of that wonderful despair I feel
But waking up I turn and face the wall

The car arrives and takes me back again
Drifting through imaginary planes
And fighting men aboard a raft
A sailing ship has run aground
And confidence is valued in these days

But each character
Is plundering my home
And taking everything that is my own

Oh no, I’m not sure about
Those things that I care about
Oh no, I’m not sure, not any more...

[Ged]

Just google them?

[DingleBoy]

Hmmmm yeah, Google, never thought of THAT before posting here.
Thank you Billo, any more for any more? Come ooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

I tried to search for a few, only found this one though... good luck

Pete Wylie -Come Back
Down by the docks the talking turned:
"As some are striving to survive,
the others thrive"
(Reaching the realm of no return)
"I don't want charity, just half a chance
and it's all up to you, yes it's all up to you"

Come Back! I'm willing to try
Come Back! Don't let time go by
Come Back! The will to survive's
Come Back
Come Back! With time on my hands
Come Back! I'm making a stand
Come Back! To kill or to cure
Come Back! To god-given belief

Well did you ever hear of hope?
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
A small belief can mean
you'll never walk alone
And did you ever hear of faith?
Encouragement! Development!
And it's all to you!
Yes, it's all to you!

Come Back! I'm willing to try
Come Back! Don't let time go by
Come Back! The will to survive's
Come Back
Come Back! With time on my hands
Come Back! I'm making a stand
Come Back! To kill or to cure
Come Back! To god-given belief

Come Back! With time on my hands
Come Back! I'm making a stand
Come Back! To kill or to cure
Come Back
Come Back! I'm willing to try
Come Back! Don't let time go by
Come Back! The will to survive's
Come Back! I'm begging you please

Come Back! Now I'm making my stand
Come Back! with time on my hands
Come Back! Time to kill or to cure

And hats off to Hatton!!!

i've been looking for the teardrop explodes " when I dream " both my boys are in bands, one will play any type of music and is quite keen if i can get the lyrics and it suits him.

[Mark R]

Saw Teardrop Explodes live in June 1981 very good band - Kilimanjaro is a great album.

[corky100]

I have a load of 'lost' music from this period, and the Erics scene, from Pink Military, Wah! Dalek I, etc, if you send a PM maybe I can find something that may help?

(Love Wylies renditions of .Never Walk Alone from the Peel sessions!)
