THE RIGHT TIME

Right Time Right Time Right Time Right Time

The album starts with a song called OUT OF REACH, a broken hearted lover's dilema which tells the story of the partnership which is never to be. This song is also released as a single and available in the high street record shops.

Next comes FEELING HIGH, a club dance track showing off the Sahota's distinctive sound.

Feeling high - are you feeling high?
Feeling high - are you feeling high?

I see your face
Hear the sound (I want this)
I'm not spaced
Or drug down (I am conscious)

Come and close your eyes
Let the music take you

Feeling high - are you feeling high?
Feeling high - are you feeling high?

What's this rush
I feel with you? (elation)
Something strong
Something new (a new sensation)

Like a butterfly
Let the music take you

Feeling high - are you feeling high?
Feeling high - are you feeling high?

Nothing fake
Nothing wrong (no suffering)
No more waiting
For the dawn (it's a good thing)

Nothing to deny
Where the music takes you

Feeling high - are you feeling high?
Feeling high - are you feeling high?

Now it was the right time to record RIGHT TIME, a song with a message.

Ask yourself why you survive
Will your brother stay alive
Show your mind a way of living

It's the right time for you
It's the right time you know
It's the right time for you
It's the right time you know

Tell yourself a new day's here
Show your strong side, conquer fear
Find a way of always winning

It's the right time for you
It's the right time you know
It's the right time for you
It's the right time you know

Be the one who's clearly free
Make the one road for you and me
Give all for your living freedom

It's the right time for you
It's the right time you know
It's the right time for you
It's the right time you know

EYES FOR ME is a funky love song which defies classification.

SHINE YOUR LIGHT
SHINE YOUR EYES FOR ME

MY TWO EYES DON'T WORK LIKE BEFORE
I'VE BEEN DOWN WITH MY EAR TO THE FLOOR
NOW I'VE HEARD WHAT I COULD NOT SEE
SOMEONE SAID YOU HAD EYES FOR ME

SHINE YOUR LIGHT
WOMAN SHINE YOUR EYES FOR ME
WOMAN SHINE YOUR EYES FOR ME

I CAN'T SENSE WHAT YOUR TWO EYES SEE
FEEL YOUR GAZE AS IT TOUCHES ME
HEAR YOUR PRAYER THROUGH THIS WALL OF NIGHT
ALL MOST THERE OH BUT NOT QUITE

SHINE YOUR LIGHT
WOMAN SHINE YOUR EYES FOR ME
WOMAN SHINE YOUR EYES FOR ME

LIGHT MY PATH WITH YOUR FLASH LIGHT SMILE
TAKE SAFELY THROUGH THIS WORLD OF TRIAL
POINT THE WAY WITH YOUR LASER EYES
CAST YOUR RAYS THROUGH THIS THIN DISGUISE

SHINE YOUR LIGHT
WOMAN SHINE YOUR EYES FOR ME
SHINE YOUR LIGHT
WOMAN SHINE YOUR EYES FOR ME

YOU CAN SEE THAT THESE EYES ARE DEAD
PLEASE HELP ME TO SEE THROUGH YOURS INSTEAD
BUT DON'T BE TOO QUICK TO HAND THEM TO ME
I WANT YOU TO KEEP THEM IN YOUR HEAD

SHINE YOUR LIGHT
WOMAN SHINE YOUR EYES FOR ME
WOMAN SHINE YOUR EYES FOR ME

SHINE YOUR LIGHT SO WE MAY SEE
SHINE YOUR EYES ON WHAT SHALL COME TO BE

SHINE YOUR LIGHT
WOMAN SHINE YOUR EYES FOR ME
WOMAN SHINE YOUR EYES FOR ME
WOMAN SHINE YOUR EYES FOR ME
WOMAN SHINE YOUR EYES FOR ME

Recording is a very slow business at the best of times but when Surjit and Mucky get together perfection is the name of the game and they are never satisfied until the sound is just right.

LOVE FIRE you'll recognise, different words but it's the same tune as Mahi De Udeek. It's an up tempo version of the ISHK track but still that great sound.

As I stand here waiting for love
Emptiness is all that I hold
The coldness around me
Her love fire drives me insane
Her love fire drives me insane

As I picture moments with you
Precious thoughts of you never do
I need to be with you
Your love fire drives me insane
Your love fire drives me insane

May I loose myself to be found
By your tender love we are bound
The power you give me
Your love fire drives me insane
Your love fire drives me insane

Just to follow where you may go
Give you love you would never know
My girl is an angel
Her love fire drives me insane
Her love fire drives me insane

Lying with you close in my arms
With the light of day you are gone
My dreams leave me empty
Her love fire drives me insane
Her love fire drives me insane

A serious look at today's society is presented next in YOUR NAME IS ENOUGH, listen to the words and ask yourself if it's true.

I DON'T CARE WHAT MOULD THEY CAST YOU IN
DON'T CARE WHERE YOU WERE BORN OR WHERE YOU BEEN
DON'T CARE TO SHARE YOUR PRIDE OR YOUR SHAME
ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS YOUR NAME

YOUR NAME IS ENOUGH
YOUR NAME IS ENOUGH

DON'T WANT READ THE LABEL ON YOUR JACKET
DON'T WANT TO KNOW YOUR INCOME BRACKET
DON'T WANT TO PLAY THE NUMBERS GAME
ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS YOUR NAME

YOUR NAME IS ENOUGH
YOUR NAME IS ENOUGH

NO NEED TO PROVE YOUR - LOVE TO ME
NO NEED LIST YOUR - HISTORY
ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS YOUR NAME

YOUR NAME IS ENOUGH
YOUR NAME IS ENOUGH

YOUR NAME - IS ENOUGH

I DON'T CARE WHAT MOULD THEY CAST YOU IN
DON'T CARE WHERE YOU WERE BORN OR WHERE YOU BEEN
NO NEED TO LIST YOUR FAMILY HISTORY
ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS YOUR NAME

YOUR NAME IS ENOUGH - YOUR NAME IS ENOUGH
YOUR NAME IS ENOUGH - YOUR NAME IS ENOUGH
YOUR NAME IS ENOUGH - YOUR NAME IS ENOUGH
YOUR NAME IS ENOUGH - YOUR NAME IS ENOUGH

You've already heard HASS HOGIA, that was released as a single just to keep all the fans happy. There is a different mix for the album, it's a much stronger sound. I think you'll like it.

Ever thought of running away just after you get married? SHE RUNS tells that story, what a thought!!!

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A BAD THING
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A GOOD THING
NOW WE'LL NEVER KNOW
THE CAST WAS CRACKED
THE STAR ESCAPED
AND THEY HAD TO CANCEL THE SHOW

SHE RUNS LIKE LIQUID FIRE LIKE LAVA
SHE RUNS LIKE A CHARM
A GOLDEN HEART
AFTER THE MELTDOWN
SHE RUNS FREE
SHE RUNS FREE
SHE RUNS

I THOUGHT SHE KNEW I THOUGHT I TOLD HER
IT WASN'T MY IDEA TO HOLD HER DOWN
JUST TO HOLD HER
JUST TO HOLD HER

SHE RUNS LIKE LIQUID FIRE LIKE LAVA
SHE RUNS LIKE A CHARM
A GOLDEN HEART
AFTER THE MELTDOWN
SHE RUNS FREE
SHE RUNS FREE
SHE RUNS

THE CHAIN OF GOLD
THAT USE TO HOLD HER TIGHT
NOW FUELS HER FLIGHT
IF YOU SEE HER
RUNNING THROUGH THE NIGHT
TELL HER IT'S ALRIGHT

SHE RUNS LIKE LIQUID FIRE LIKE LAVA
SHE RUNS LIKE A CHARM
A GOLDEN HEART
AFTER THE MELTDOWN
SHE RUNS FREE
SHE RUNS FREE
SHE RUNS

SHE RUNS LIKE LIQUID FIRE LIKE LAVA
SHE RUNS LIKE A CHARM
A GOLDEN HEART
AFTER THE MELTDOWN
SHE RUNS FREE
SHE RUNS FREE
SHE RUNS
SHE RUNS
SHE RUNS
SHE RUNS
SHE RUNS

BE WITH YOU is the balad on this album (John is still waiting for LET US PRAY, but that's another story). Always the Sahotas have "knocked 'em down" with the slow songs and this is certainly no exception.

REALLY WANNA LOOSE THIS SORROW
CAN'T SEEM TO CHASE IT AWAY
NOTHING ANYBODY CAN DO FOR ME
NOTHING ANYONE CAN SAY

STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU
JUST WANNA BE WITH YOU
STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU
JUST WANNA BE WITH YOU

I UNDERSTAND THE WAY YOU FEELING
YOU TOLD ME YOU HAVE TO BE FREE
MY PRIDE DOESN'T HURT IT'S NOT JEALOUSY
WITHOUT YOU I CAN NOT SEE

SO IN LOVE WITH YOU
JUST WANNA BE WITH YOU
SO IN LOVE WITH YOU
JUST WANNA BE WITH YOU

I'M SEARCHING FOR A REASON TO CARRY ON
AND I'M LIVING LIFE FROM DAY TO DAY
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'VE GONE THROUGH
HOPE ONE DAY YOU'LL COME BACK THIS WAY

JUST WANNA BE WITH YOU
JUST WANNA BE WITH YOU
JUST WANNA BE WITH YOU
JUST WANNA BE WITH YOU

NO ONE I'VE MET COMES CLOSE TO YOU
NO ONE IN THE WORLD CAN COMPARE
DON'T WANT SOMEONE ELSE TO GET TO ME
WITHOUT YOU I CAN'T GO ANYWHERE
HAVE YOU GONE FOREVER

JUST WANNA BE WITH YOU
JUST WANNA BE WITH YOU
JUST WANNA BE WITH YOU
JUST WANNA BE WITH YOU

Finally NO ESCAPE saw the end of this latest album. This is a dance rock track to leave you all wanting more.

NO ESCAPE FROM YOU HYPNOTISED BY YOU
CAN'T ESCAPE FROM YOU MESMERISED BY YOU
CAPTIVATED BY YOUR DEADLY CHARM

YOU ROCK SO WILD YOU
YOU ROCK SO WILD YOU
YOU ROCK SO WILD YOU

YOU BREAK MY HEART EVERY LOVE YOU TAKE;
YOU SEND ME CRAZY THE MOVES YOU MAKE
CAPTIVATED BY YOUR DEADLY CHARM

YOU ROCK SO WILD YOU
YOU ROCK SO WILD YOU
YOU ROCK SO WILD YOU

TAKE ME SO HIGH I'M DRUNK FROM PLEASURE
YOU LET ME GO LAUGHING AS I FALL
ANOTHER NOTCH ON YOUR SMOKING BARREL

YOU ROCK SO WILD YOU
YOU ROCK SO WILD YOU
YOU ROCK SO WILD YOU

SWEET OASIS IN A SPITEFUL DESERT
DRINK YOUR WATER BE FOREVER LOST
A MOTH THAT DANCES AROUND YOUR FLAME
BURNING WINGS ARE YOUR COST

YOU ROCK SO WILD YOU
YOU ROCK SO WILD YOU
YOU ROCK SO WILD YOU
YOU ROCK SO WILD YOU
