BRICK BY BRICK -Lyrics Wayne Gillespie
(W.Gillespie/R.Grosser)
1. Let‘s build it up - brick by brick
Let’s put it back - stick by stick
Replace everything that we tore down -bricks and mortar and cement
Replace all that we tore down –oh we could be magnificent
Gotta find away to calm you down
Gotta find a way to sooth you
Gotta find away to calm you down
Without putting out your fire
2. And build it up stone by stone
Turn this graveyard plot into a home
Oh we’ll be stronger than we were before -we’ll learn to do what we forgot
Oh we could build a citadel - on this dusty vacant lot
Gotta find a way to calm you down
Gotta find a way to sooth you
Gotta find a way to calm you down
Without putting out your fire
3. And build it up brick by brick
And put it back, put it back, stick by stick
Replace everything that we tore down –everything that we blew apart
Replace all that we tore down, all you see is my black heart
Gotta find away to calm you down
Gotta find a way to sooth you
Gotta find away to calm you down
Without putting out your fire
Without putting out your fire
Without putting out your...
4... Fire………………………………..brick by brick
And put it back, put it back stick by stick
We tore it down we can build it up -there must be something that we’ve learnt
We tore it down we can put it back - all the tinder that we’ve burnt
Gotta find a way to calm you down
Gotta find a way to sooth you
Gotta find away to calm you down
Without putting out your fire
5. And build it up build it up brick by brick
And put it back put it back stick by stick
And build it up build it up stone by stone
Oh there’s no need for us to be alone
We tore it down we can build it up -there must be something that we’ve learnt
We tore it down we can put it back - all the tinder that we’ve burnt

Once I was your Lover - (c. Wayne Gillespie)
Songbroker Publishing
1) Once I was your lover, but now I'm not
Once we held each other, but now we've stopped
Once we had passion, once we had flame
Now it's only in anger that you call out my name
2) There's not much pepper but there's too much salt
When things aren't right why is it always my fault?
And though you complain it’s true that I tend to snap!
I guess we caught this disease through lack of contact
Bridge:
Still every morning brings a new day
But by the evening we’ve got nothing to say
But still we wait on the dock though our ship has sailed
Too stubborn to admit that we have failed.
4) Once I could calm all your doubts and fears
Once I could easily dry your tears
Once I could make you laugh I could lift your spirits high
Now I can’t even stop that sadness that’s in your eye
Bridge:
Still every morning brings a new day
But by the evening we’ve got nothing to say
But still we wait on the dock though our ship has sailed
Too stubborn to admit that we have failed.
5) Once I was your lover, but now I’m not
Once we even cared for one another, but now we’ve stopped
Once we talked it over when we went wrong
Yes once you were my friend, but now you’ve gone.
END
