shelviajean1 The Circus Is Coming to Town is one of my favorite albums! Michael's music is melodic, reflective and sensitive that comforts and soothes the soul.
Beautifully lyrical and haunting - 'Blue' (the live from Rio track) is my favorite! đź’•

kiki21 I love his voice and the wording of all the tracks, but Passed You By is my favourite, if I had to pick one. A talented artist; I just can't stop listening to him perform. Favorite track: Passed You By.

The circus is coming to town Don't wanna miss it do ya? Step right up and let's get down I know you're lonely But your only fooling around Everybody's looking for a good time You could be mine tonight The circus is coming to town Don't wanna miss it do ya? Step right up and let's get down Everybody wants to be a high flyer On the high wire of love The circus is coming to town

Heart-Shaped Man (free) 03:18
he is a heart-shaped man he's got his head in the sand he's got his fingers in his ears to wipe away the tears he is a heart-shaped man he's got a heart-shaped head sleeps in a heart-shaped bed he is the color of a rose and everybody knows he is a heart-shaped man picture yourself on a boat with nobody else the water's leaking in no bucket or a tin to help you bail it out fight for yourself you've got to fight for yourself tell me how you feel, come on and make it real it's what it's all about trapped like a bird in a gilded cage life is the debt that you can't repay you've seen the signs but do you know the way? the way to love. (chorus) Do you feel my love?

I got money in my pocket and a woman on my mind I got a woman in my pocket and money's on her mind 123456789 Gonna go see her and bring her a bottle of wine Tell her that I love her more than a million times 123456789 The best things cost you nothing And that's all you'll ever have Cause the one thing that you need is in your hand, yes it is. I got a buzzin in my pocket and my lover's on the line He's got a two timing heart and a one track mind 123456789 I'm gonna give my love a penny just to see how well he lies By the time I get to 10 he better open up his eyes 123456789 There's one thing I know, Round things roll, love lies and money walks & Yesterday ain't no tomorrow! I got money in my pocket and a woman on my mind (keep walking) I got a woman in my pocket and money's on her mind (keep talkin) 123456789

Blue 03:46
Everybody's gone they left the party and went home without you Everybody's found that certain someone they can hold on to. Oh, doesn't mean you'll always be alone, you know. Why so blue Everybody says they're sorry they just made other plans with anyone Gone to see the side show at the circus and the bands about to go on Oh, doesn't mean you'll always be alone, be strong Why so blue Why so blue??

I'm dreaming of a dream for you Way up in the stars Coming to where you are real soon I'm dreaming of a dream for you I'm dreaming of a dream for you Way up in the clouds Don't let it get you down It's true, I'm dreaming of a dream for you Something in my heart just tells me Everythings gonna be alright Cause tonight I'll be dreaming of a dream for you

Nobody Now 02:55
Searchin through the desert for a flower Crawling where the river used to run Time can't erase the lines on my face Shadows growing shorter by the hour I walk until the ocean meets the sun And falls into place I long for your embrace California like summer rain Got my eyes wide open I see everything And it's too late to turn back now Got my head going round and round Who's nobody now? I used to keep your picture in my pocket It helped me keep your body of my mind And now I'm alone (the lights are on but) Nobody's home. California like summer rain Got my eyes wide open I can breathe again And it's too late to turn back now Got my head going round and round Who's nobody now? Who's the loser this songs about? I'm nobody now.

Never knew ya How can I explain To a heart that's been broken this way? I am lost but I know I must let you go Even though I never knew ya Would you promise to save me a kiss? Would you tell me you'd never forgive? Oh I'm lost but I know I must let you go Even though I never knew ya Roads were untravelled No one came to see Left without shadows Never meant to be

I'll never forget her Upon a smile Upon a face Across the room you lose me I'm lost in time I'm lost in space I'll never go anywhere if you don't You never get anything If you don't try You gotta leave it behind when you go Another moment in time Will pass you by Pass you by

Friend 03:08
I can't stand up I can't fake another day I've been drowned in silence Watch me wash these blues away I've been crawling round the yard Underneath the stars We used to dream I've been waiting for your call Wondering where you are and where you'll be I keep holding on But I could really use a friend Drunk and tied up Where truth and loneliness collide I've been uninspired No where to go nowhere to hide I've been crawling round the yard Underneath the stars We used to dream I've been waiting for your call Wondering where you are and where you'll be I keep holding on But I could really use a friend I'm still holding on babe I could really use a friend
