Mother told me don't look for love
But when I find it just be patient babe
And then my eyes are closing so I guess I have to wait.
I guess I have to wait.
Late at night, I'm thinking of her, don't know if it sounds right
I don't know what she looks like, but she's my babe.
Hell if I will be true
Just as true as God writes, I promise to be her sunlight
Til my dying day.
Wifey where are you,
Wifey where are you,
Wifey where are you
Here I am
So maybe you think, I'm going out of my mind now
Maybe my mind is going out of me
And then my eyes are closing so just how am I to see?
Wifey where are you,
Wifey where are you,
Wifey where are you
Here I am
Late at night, I'm thinking of her but don't know if it sounds right
I don't know what she looks like, but she's my babe.
Hell if I will be true
Just as true as God writes, I promise to be her sunlight
Until my dying day.
You and the night and the music
Fill me with flaming desire
Setting my being completely on fire
You and the night and the music
Thrill me but will we be one
After the night and the music are done
Until the pale light of dawn and in daylight
Hearts will be throbbing guitars
Morning will come without warning and take away the stars
If we must live for the moment
Love 'til the moment is through
After the night and the music die
Will I have you?
Until the pale light of dawn and in daylight
Hearts will be throbbing guitars
Morning will come without warning and take away the stars
If we must live for the moment
Love 'til the moment is through
After the night and the music die
So hail a taxi cab and come around here
And I will meet you right outside.
I got some DVDs and a couple of beers,
If you want to,
We can stay up all night.
It's nothing fancy, just a little couch and me
And conversation for your mind.
So let's explore all the possibilities
Of the things that we both talked about last time.
Take a trip to my yard
Don't you know the grass is greener on the other side?
Take a trip to my yard
Don't you know the love that you've been Dreaming of is mine?
I'll be your neighbour at the other end of town
And the benefits you soon will find.
So let's enjoy the fact that we're on our own
And we will answer to nobody else this time.
Tonight might be nothing but the moon and me
Any time that we take the script and flip it baby
Take a trip to my yard
Take a trip to my yard
Don't you know the grass is greener on the otherside?
Take a trip to my yard
I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
For love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I'll walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Singing, singing in the rain
In the rain.
La...
I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
I'm singing, singing in the rain
In the rain
I looked at you and suddenly
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitching me
I looked at you and suddenly
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitching me
It's that old devil moon
That you stole from the sky
It's that old devil moon in your eyes
You and your glance makes this romance too hot to handle
Stars in the night blazin' their light can't hold a candle
To your razzle dazzle
You've got me flyin' high and wide
On a magic carpet ride
Full of butterflies inside
I just wanna cry
Wanna croon
Wanna laugh like a loon
It's that old devil moon in your eyes
Just when I think I'm free as a dove
Old evil moon deep in your eyes
Lately, i've let myself go
I've been screening the calls
From my friends to my foes
Although I've been weak
Far for so very long
I gotta get myself
I gotta get myself
I gotta get myself
Back to the ground
Sultry siren messed with my song
I'm gonna send her back
To where she belongs
I keep my enemies
Much, much, much too close
I gotta get myself
I gotta get myself
I gotta get myself
Back to the ground
When you're attracted to the danger
And tasting every flavour
Then bring it on and bleed yourself dry
Reality is twisted
Your mind's getting shoplifted
Is there underneath an innocent guy?
So clearly, I've let myself go
So does admission take my sins to a new low?
And when you're way down there
You'll find all those old friends
You used to know
And they're gonna help ya
Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
'cause I only have eyes for you, dear
My love must be some kind of blind love
I don't see anybody but you
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
'cause I only have eyes for you.
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
I only have eyes for you
My love must be some kind of blind love
I could have danced all night
I could have danced all night
And still have begged for more
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
I'd never ever done before
I'll never know what made it so exciting
But all at once my heart took flight
I only know when she began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced, danced, danced, danced
Bed? I couldn't go to bed
My head's too light to try to settle down
Sleep? I couldn't sleep tonight
Not for all the jewels in the crown!
I'll never know what made it so exciting
But all at once my heart took flight
I only know when she began to dance with me
It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable
To read in the Bible,
It ain't necessarily so.
Now david was small but oh my
Little david was small but oh my
He fought big goliath
Who lay down and dieth
David was small but oh my.
To get into heaven, don't snap for a second
Live clean forget your faults
I take the gospel whenever it's possible
But with a grain of salt
Oh jonah he lived in a whale
Oh jonah he lived in a whale
He made his home in
That fishes abdomen
Oh jonah he lived in a whale
To get into heaven, don't snap for a seven
Live clean forget your faults
I take gospel whenever it's possible
But with a grain of salt
Methuselah lived 900 years
Methuselah lived 900 years
Who calls that livin'
When no gal will give in
To no man what's 900 years
It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable
To read in the Bible,
It ain't necessarily so.
Ain't necessarily so
Ain't necessarily so
In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast alseep
You lie awake thinking of the girl
Never even think of counting sheep
While the whole wide world has learned it's lesson
She'd be yours if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
It's the time i miss her most of all
In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake thinking of the girl
Never even think of counting sheep
While the whole wide world has learned it's lesson
She'd be yours if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
Every day it comes to this
Catch the things you might have missed
You say, get back to yesterday
I ain't ever going back
Back to the place that I can't stand
But I miss the way you lie
I'm always misunderstood
Pulled apart and ripped in two
But I miss the way you lie
Catch the sun, before it's gone
Here it comes, up in smoke and gone
Catch the sun, it never comes
Cry in the sand, lost in the fire
I never really understood
Why I didn't feel so good
But I miss the way you lie
I've always been up and down
Never wanted to hit the ground
But I miss the way you lie
Catch the sun, before it's gone
Here it comes, up in smoke and gone
Catch the sun, it never comes
I'm a glum one
It's explainable
I've met someone
unattainable
Life's a bore
The world is my
oyster no more
All the papers
Where I lead the news
With my capers
Now will spread the news
Superman turned out to be
A flash-in-the-pan
I've flown around the world in a plane
I've settled revolutions in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
But I can't get started with you
Around the golf course I'm under par
And all the movies want me to star
I've built a house and show place
But I can't get no place with you
You're so supreme
Lyrics that I write of you
Scheme, just for a sight of you
And I dream both day and night of you
And what good does it do
In 1929, I sold short
In London, I'm presented at court
But you've got me down hearted,
Cause I can't get started with you
You're so supreme
Lyrics that I write of you
Scheme, just for a sight of you
And I dream both day and night of you
And what good does it do
In 1929, I sold short
In London, I'm presented at court
But you've got me down hearted,
No cares for me
I'm happy as I can be
I've learned to love and to live
Devil may care
No cares and woes
Whatever comes later goes
That's how I'll take and I'll give
Devil may care
When the day is through, I suffer no regrets
I know that he who frets, loses the night
For only a fool, thinks he can hold back the dawn
He who is wise never tries to revise what's past and gone
Live love today, and come tomorrow what may
Don't even stop for a sigh, it doesn't help if you cry
That's how I'll live and I'll die
Devil may care
When the day is through, I suffer no regrets
I know that he who frets, loses the night
For only a fool, thinks he can hold back the dawn
He who is wise never tries to revise what's past and gone
Live love today, and come tomorrow what may
Don't even stop for a sigh, it doesn't help if you cry
That's how I'll live and I'll die
There's maybe a way I can tell you
'Cos with everyday things continue
To get more compromised,
So who will fantasise
A new generation politicised
When things are done in our own name
Are we as much to blame?
Now it's become clear to me,
But only lately
And the ground is removed underneath
Shout it from the brink,
You're louder than you think
21st century kid, you're surrounded by illusion and confusion,
So maybe if you're holding out for the truth now,
Could it be the greatest weapon?
Could it be the greatest weapon?
Your weapon
Nothing is certain except a memory
And that's soon washed away by a low sea
Now sit yourself down my one
And see what you become,
Ignoring a smouldering gun
The white dove's flown
D'ya think we're on our own?
21st century kid, you're surrounded by illusion and confusion.
So maybe if you're holding out for the truth now,
Could it be the greatest weapon?
21st century kid, you're surrounded by illusion and confusion.
So maybe if you're holding out for the truth now,
Could it be the greatest weapon?
Could it be the greatest weapon?
Sure I know you'd like to have me
Talk about my future
And a million words or so to fill you in about my past
Have I sisters or a brother
When's my birthday how's my mother
Well my dear in time I'll answer all those things you ask
But for now I'll just say I love you
Nothing more seems important somehow
And tomorrow can wait come whatever
Let me love you forever but right now
Right now
Some fine day when we go walking
We'll take time for idle talking
Sharing every feeling as we watch each other smile
I'll hold your hand you'll hold my hand
We'll say things we never had planned
Then we'll get to know each other in a little while
But for now let me say I love you
Later on there'll be time for so much more
But for now meaning now and forever
Let me kiss you my darling then once more
Once more
But for now let me say I love you
Later on I must know much more of you
But for now here and now how I love you
As you are in my arms I love you
I love you
Next year
Things are gonna change
Gonna drink less beer
And start all over again
Gonna read more books
Gonna keep up with the news
Gonna learn how to cook
And spend less money on shoes
Gonna pay my bills on time
File my mail away, everyday
Only drink the finest wine
And call my gran every Sunday
Well resolutions
Well baby they come and go
Will I do any of these things?
The answer's probably no
But if there's one thing, I must do
Despite my greatest fears
I'm gonna say to you
How I've felt all of these years
Next year
Next year
I'm gonna tell you how I feel
I'm gonna tell you how I feel
Well, resolutions
Baby they come and go
Will I do any of these things?
The answer's probably no
But if there's one thing, I must do
Despite my greatest fears
I'm gonna say to you
How I've felt all of these years
Next year
Next year
I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams
So it seems this is how the story ends:
She's goin'to turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"
I thought for once it couldn't go wrong
Not for long! I can see the way this ends:
She's goin'to turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"
Never again! through and with love
And through with them!
They play their game without shame,
And who's to blame?
I thought I'd found a girl I could trust
What a bust! now I see the way this ends:
She's goin'to turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"
Never again! through and with love
And through with them!
They play their game without shame,
And who's to blame?
I should have seen the signals and stopped
What a flop! now I see the way this ends
I'll let her turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"
I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams
So it seems this is how the story ends
I'll let her turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"
Everyday you live a life so full of hope
Shouldn't drag your soul around you like a leather vogue
You remember everything you thought your life would be
Well its fallin through the craks of ancient history
Oh, Is this something that I never, something that i never had
Oh, Is this something that I never, something that i never had
Tell you what I've heard
The wheels are falling off, the wheels are falling off the world
Friday night and everything is a ok
We are living like we've always known a different way
We are taking on our different roads before our goal
It'll bring you back around to the one you know
Oh, Is this something that I never, something that i never had
Oh, Is this something that I never, something that i never had
Tell you what I've heard
Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around.
No one's gonna hurt you, not while I'm around.
Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays,
I'll send 'em howling,
I got ways.
No one's gonna hurt you,
No one's gonna dare.
Others can desert you,
Not to worry,
whistle, I'll be there.
Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while,
But in time...
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around...
..............
Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while
But in time...
Nothing can harm you
If I ruled the world,
Every day would be the first day of spring.
Every heart would have a new song to sing,
and we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring.
If I ruled the world,
Every man would be as free as a bird.
Every voice would be a voice to be heard,
take my word we would treasure each day that occurred.
My world would be a beautiful place
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams.
My world would wear a smile on its face,
like the man and the moon has, when the moon beams.
(piano solo)
If i ruled the world,
Every man would see the world was his friend. Yeah
There'd be happiness that no man could end,
no my friend, not if i ruled the world.
Every hand would be held up high,
There'd be sunshine in everyones sky.
If the day ever dawned,
will i rule the world.
Every hand would be held up high,
Every star would shine in everyones sky.
If the day ever dawned,
I think I love
every single little crack on your face
I think I love
even our most casual embrace
You don't have to try
Cause I've made up my mind
Baby, I think I love you today
Remember that time
you threw a can of beer at me like a stone
You drunk too much wine
and threw up in the taxi cab on the way home
You looked like a mess
But I must confess
Baby, I think I love you today
When I think what we could do
If I could only say to you, yeah
All of these things,
well do I dare
and would you care?
I think I love
everytime you honor me with a kiss
I think I love
well, there are just a million things I could list
Should let you know
but maybe tomorrow
It's gettin late
I'm making my way over to my favorite place
I gotta get my body moving
shake the stress away
I wasn't looking for nobody when you looked my way
Possible candidate (yeah)
Who knew,
That you'd be up here looking like you do
You're making staying over here impossible
Baby I must say your aura is incredible
If you don't have to go, don't
Do you know what you started
I just came here to party
But now we're rockin on the dancefloor
Acting naughty
Your hands around my waist
Just let the music play
We're hand in hand
Chest to chest
And now we're face to face
I wanna take you away
lets escape into the music
Dj let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin to it
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music
I wanna take you away
lets escape into the music
Dj let it play
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin to it
Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music
Baby are you ready cause it's getting close
Don't you feel the passion ready to explode
What goes on between us no one has to know
This is a private show (oh)
Do you know what you started
I just came here to party
But now we're rockin on the dancefloor
Acting naughty
Your hands around my waist
Just let the music play
We're hand in hand
Chest to chest
And now we're face to face
I wanna take you away
lets escape into the music
Dj let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin to it
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music
I wanna take you away

Dj let it play
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin to it
Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music
(Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the music
We were so drunk last night,
We had that stupid fight,
You called me a useless selfish prick,
So I'm in a fix right now,
And we'll measure the truth somehow,
Love is a funny thing to me
Then you stormed out and grabbed your coat,
While slamming shut the door,
A ruthless move so cold you left your keys inside the door Oh...
Can Nothing I do make you happy anymore,
Nothin' I say put a smile onto your face,
Can nothing I say bring us back together,
Nothing I do put a smile onto your face.
Well Okay..
Next day I called you back,
And you called me a stupid twat,
And then you were crying on the phone,
You sounded so upset, you said,
I wasn't the man you'd met
3 years and 7 months ago
I pleaded with her take me back,
I'll change my sorry ways
So tell me why mysteriously I'm annoyed instead of shamed
Ohhh
Can Nothing I do make you happy anymore,
Can nothin' I say put a smile onto your face
Nothing I do bring us back together
Nothing say put a smile onto your face
MMmmmm, Yeahhh
I'm pondering it all after that call
I think it is clear
I am here, you're from another stratosphere
Oh, now all the things she said they went around my head
And come out my ear,
And not before long,
This stubborn soul thinks he's done no wrong.
As when the questions flutter
'round my head like butterflies,
My head spins at reflecting on
Another love's demise, Ohhhh
Can Nothing I do make you happy anymore,
Can nothin' I say put a smile onto your face
Can nothing I do bring us back together
Nothing I say put a smile onto your face,
Ohhhhh
I missed the opportunity
To get you babe
To stay with me.
Never thought, I'd regret
The excuses that I've made
Like a song, it will fade
If there's music in the night,
And it's really, really right,
It's the only thing I need.
It intoxicates your mind
All your troubles left behind
So come on and take my lead.
It's not just me who feels it
Music plays a mind trick
Watch me forget about missing you
So I put my feelings out to dry
Love, one day again,
I'll have to try.
Falling out, making up
It seems such a silly game
Why do I never gain?
If there's music in the night,
And it's really, really right,
It's the only thing ohh I need.
It intoxicates your mind
All your troubles left behind
So come on and take my lead.
It's not just me who feels it
Music plays a mind trick
Watch me forget about missing you
na na na's......
If there's music in the night,
And it's really, really right,
It's the only thing I need.
it intoxicates your mind
All your troubles left behind
So come on and take my lead.
it's not just me who feels it
music plays a mind trick
watch me forget about missing you
Said I many times, love is illusion,
A feeling result of confusion
With knowing smile and blas© sigh,
A cynical so and so, am I.
I feel so sure, so positive,
So utterly unchangeably certain
Though I never was aware of loving you
'til suddenly I realised there was love in you and oh...
In this world of ordinary people...
Extraordinary people,
I'm glad there is you.
In this world of overrated pleasures
And underrated treasures,
I'm glad there is you.
I live to love,
I love to live with you beside me
This role, so new
I'll muddle through with you
If you'll guide me through.
In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love,
I'm glad there is you.
More than ever, I'm glad there is you.
What a difference a day made, twenty four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers where there use to be rain
My yesterday was blue dear
Today I'm a part of you dear
My lonely nights are through dear
Since you said you were mine
Oh, what a difference a day made
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy since that moment of bliss
That thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you, is you
My yesterday was blue dear
Still I'm a part of you dear
My lonely nights are through dear
Since you said you were mine
Oh, what a difference a day made
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy since that moment of bliss
That thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you
Some get their kicks from cocaine
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
That would bore me terrifically too
That I get a kick out of you
I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me
I get a kick though it's clear to me that you obviously do not adore me
I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high with some gal in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
But I get a kick out of you
I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you
Some get their kicks from cocaine
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
That would bore me terrifically too
That I get a kick out of you
I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me
I get a kick though it's clear to me that you obviously do not adore me
I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high with some gal in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
But I get a kick
She gives me the boot
Hearts gone astray, deep in her when they go.
I went away just when you needed me so.
You won't regret, I'll come back begging you. (mmm)
Won't you forget, welcome the love we once knew.
Open up your eyes, then you realise.
Here I stand with my everlasting love.
Need you by my side.
Girl to be my pride.
Never be denied everlasting love....
oh...
Hearts gone astray deep in hurt when they go.
I went away just when you needed me so.
You wont regret I'll come back begging you.
Wont you forget, welcome love we once knew.
Open up your eyes, then you'll realise.
Here I stand with my everlasting love
Need you by my side.
Girl to be my pride.
Never be denied everlasting love.
From the very start open up your heart, feel that you've fall in,
Everlasting love......
need a love to last forever.
need a love to last forever.
need a love to last forever.
need a love to last forever.........
You're talkin' so sweet well you needn't
You say you won't cheat well you needn't
You're tappin' your feet well you needn't
It's over now, it's over now
You're dressin' with class well you needn't
You're holdin' your sass well you needn't
You think you're a gas well you needn't
It's over now, it's over now
It's over now, it's over now
You've had your fun, so take a bow
You oughta know, you lost the glow, the beat is slow, the shadows grow,
the lights are low, it's time to go, let's close the show down
(Oh) You're taking off weight well you needn't
You're looking just great well you needn't
You're settin' the bait well you needn't
It's over now, it's over now
It's over now, it's over now
It's over now, it's over now
Long as you're lookin' good...
You can win the admiration,
Of the current population,
You can be star,
Long as you're lookin' good!
You have made the main connection,
You can win the next election,
Don't care who you are,
Just leave them mesmerised, give their eyes a picture to play with,
And you will be so surprised at how much you can get away with!
Long as you're lookin' good!
Let that be your main credential,
You'll get treatment preferential,
It's a rule that's still essentially iron-clad,
Remember you can' look bad,
Long as you're lookin' good!
You can tell the world to shove it,
Show 'em crap and make 'em love it!
You can run their life,
Long as you're lookin' good!
They'll believe you walk on water,
Even trust you with their daughter,
Sometimes with their wife,
Don't have to know a thing, just look like you're a sensation,
Don't have to dance or sing to get that standing ovation!
Long as you're lookin' good!
You can show up late for dinner,
Play the saint or play the sinner,
A blag, a crank, a rank beginner,
Or just a cad!
Remember you can't look bad,
Long as you're looking good!
Two jumps in a week, I bet you think that's pretty clever don't you, boy?
Flying on your motorcycle, watching all the ground beneath you drop.
You'd kill yourself for recognition, You'd kill yourself to never ever stop
You broke another mirror. You're turning in to something that your not.
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Drying up in conversation, you will be the one who cannot talk.
All your insides fall to pieces, you just sit there wishing you could still make love.
They're the ones who'll hate you, when you think you've got the world all sussed out.
There the ones who'll spit at you. You will be the one screaming out.
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me.....dry
It's the best thing you have ever had, it's the best thing you have ever had.
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
do do do...
do do do...
A time for summer skies
For hummingbirds and butterflies
For tender words that harmonize with love
A time for climbing hills
For leaning out of windowsills
Admiring daffodils above ADMIRING THE DAFFODILS ABOVE
A time for holding hands together
A time for rainbow coloured weather
A time of make believe that we've been dreaming of
As time goes drifting by
The willow bends and so do I
But all my friends whatever skies above BUT OH, MY FRIENDS, WHATEVER SKY ABOVE
I know a time for spring I'VE KNOWN A TIME FOR SPRING
A time for fall
But best of all
A time for love
A time for holding hands together
A time for rainbow coloured weather
A time of make believe that we've been dreaming of
As time goes drifting by
The willow bends and so do I
But all my friends whatever skies above
I know a time for spring
A time for fall
But best of all
Paint a picture,
Clear cut and pale on a cold winters day,
Shapes and cool light wander the streets like an army of strays,
On a cold winters Day.
Will you let me romanticize,
The beauty in our London Skies,
You know the sunlight always shines,
Behind the clouds of London Skies.
Patient moments you chill to the bone under infinite greys,
Vision hindered mist settling low like a ghostly ballet,
On a cold winters Day.
Nothing is certain except everything you know can change,
you worship the sun but now,
Every time I see what's written on your mind
I turn away and drop my guard
Your high horse will be the leader of the blind
Tender love and true facade
I'm in possession of so many tones
I loved it all my life
Feel the rhythm in your very bones
I never sleep at night.
You and me are gone
You and me are gone
Winter's bitter song
You and me are gone, gone away.
Truthfully I've got a modus operand-
I never seem to finish lovin'
You train your eye and force yourself to make a stand
When it dies I want it's stuffing
Lose yourself out on the edge of reason
Teenagers do tell
Even I don't know what I am feeling
Lost until I fell
You and me are gone
You and me are gone
Winter's bitter song
You and me are gone, gone away.
Yeah...
Seems the joyous prose has left my tongue
For other warmer climes
Battle songs are written to be sung
A million toxic rhymes.
After all the jacks are in their boxes,
And the clowns have all gone to bed,
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street,
Footprints dress in red.
And the wind whispers Mary.
A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life.
Somewhere a Queen is weeping,
Somewhere a King has no wife.
And the wind cries Mary.
The traffic lights turn blue tomorrow
Shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island sags downstream
'Cos the life that they lived is dead.
And the wind screams Mary.
Oh oh yeah
Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past
With this crutch, its old age and its wisdom
It whispers, "No, this will be the last."
I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except when soft rains fall
And drip from the leaves, then I recall
The thrill of being sheltered in your arms
Of course I do
But I get along without you very well
I've forgotten you just like I should
Of course I have
Except to hear your name
Or someone's laugh that is the same
But I've forgotten you just like I should
What a guy
What a fool am I
To think my breaking heart could kid the moon
What's in store
Should I phone once more
No I guess I should stick to my tune
I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except perhaps in Spring
But I should never think of Spring
For that would surely break my heart in two
I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except perhaps in Spring
But I should never think of Spring
I don’t have to go to bed
I got a small day tomorrow
A small day tomorrow
I don’t have to use my head
I’ve got a small day tomorrow
I can sleep the day away
And it won’t cost too much sorrow
So tonight this cat will play
He got a small day tomorrow
Now all those big wheels
With all their big deals
They’re going to need their sleep
But I’m a drop out
Who’d rather cop out
Than run with all the sheep
Honey child tonight’s the night
There’s a car I can borrow till tomorrow
We can swing till broad daylight
We got a small day tomorrow
Yeah all those big wheels
With all their big deals
They’re going to need their eight hours sleep
But I’m a drop out
Who’d rather cop out
Than run with all the sheep
Honey child tonight’s the night
There’s a car we can borrow till the day after tomorrow
We can swing till we’re out of sight
We got a big night
Her name was written on a photograph,
Right next to her red, sunburnt face,
It all had happened in that long tall grass,
About a mile from her old place,
I can't remember how it started
And if it lasted that day in the sun.
We said that we were going to study hard,
We held our books instead of hands,
She held a blanket over cans of beer,
I can't deny I was so full of fear.
It's just another story caught up
In another photograph I found.
And it seems like another person lived that life A great many years ago from now,
When I look back on my ordinary, ordinary life,
I see so much magic, though I missed it at the time.
When I look back on my ordinary ordinary, ordinary life,
I see so much magic, though I missed it at the time.
And there's the first time that I tried that stuff,
I think I look a little green,
I remember throwing up behind a bush,
And I found it hard to use my feet,
And who's that easily led
Little boy who's really off his head?
It was the same night that I kissed that girl,
The tall one with the auburn hair,
I remember laughing coz to kiss me,
She had to sit down on a chair!
She tasted like the schnapps she'd drunk,
And the cigarette she'd stolen from her mum.
And it's just another story caught up in another photograph I found.
When I look back on my ordinary, ordinary life,
I see so much magic, though I missed it at the time.
When I look back on my ordinary ordinary, ordinary life,
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
Its no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Day and night, night and day, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffics boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Day and night,
Under the hide of me
Theres an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment wont be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
Its no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Day and night, night and day, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffics boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Day and night, night and day
Under the hide of me
Theres an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment wont be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you
Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
Maybe I'm too young to keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you're on my mind so you never know
I'm broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it
Where are you tonight, you know how much I need it
Too young to hold on and too old to break free and run
And he's much too blind to see the damage he's done
Cause sometimes a man must awake to find that really he has no one
So I'll wait for you and I'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return
Oh will I ever learn
Oh lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late
Lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that will never come
And he's much too blind to see the damage he's done
Cause sometimes a man must awake to find that really he has no one
So I'll wait for you and I'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return
Oh will I ever learn
Oh lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late
The time is right, you hold me tight
And love's got me high
Please tell me, 'Yes' and don't say, 'No'
Honey, not tonight
And I need to have you next to me in more ways than one
And I refuse to leave till I see the mornin' sun
Creep through your window pane
Because love won't let me wait
Not another minute
The time is right, turn down the lights
And take my hand
We'll take a flight and spend the night
In Wonderland
Move a little closer to me, you owe it to yourself
And I will selfishly take a little for myself
And it's because of you
That love won't let me wait
Not another minute
And I need your love so desperately and only you can set me free
When I make love to you, we'll explode in ecstasy
And I won't take the blame
That love won't let me wait
Love won’t let me wait
I've got a woman

That's good to me oh, yeah

Hello Innocence
Though it seems like we've been friends for years
I'm finishing
How I wish I had never begun
Though it should be the last one
And it's dragging me down to my knees
Where I'm begging you please
Let me go
Don't you know
I'm all over it now
And I can't say how glad I am about that
I'm all over it now
Cause I worked and I cursed and I tried
And I said I could change and I lied
Well there's something still moves me inside
She's a melody
That I've tried to forget but I can't
It still follows me
When I wake in the dead of the night
And I know that I can't find
That song going round in my head
Like the last things you said
Please don't go
You think I know
I'm all over it now
And I can't say how glad I am about that
I'm all over it now
Cause I worked and I cursed and I cried
And I said I could change but I lied
Well there's something still moves me inside
Though I walked on by
Though I walked on by
Though I walked on by
Though I walked on by
One dark morning
She left without a warning
And took the red-eye back to London town
I'm all over it now
I'm all over it now
I'm all over it now
I'm all over it now
I'm all over it now
And I can't say how glad I am about that
I'm all over it now
Cause I worked and I cursed and I cried
And I said I would change but I lied
Can't find all the words yet
It's still not the time yet
And my mind can't think of anything
It only sees you
You know I am trying
God knows I am trying
And why does the wind keeps shouting out
It's still not over
I keep on trying
I think I'm learning
To live in hearts you leave behind
Is not to die, Grace
Can't find the right place
Is there a right place?
Where I can make it all make sense somehow
And face tomorrow
I keep on trying
I think I'm learning
To live in hearts you leave behind
Is not to die, Grace
The world goes 'round some
We move along some
To live in hearts theirs and mine
I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me
Well life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me
God only knows what I'd be without you
Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child Thats got his own
Thats got his own
Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
God bless the child Thats got his own
Thats got his own..Thats got his own
Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding round the door
When youre gone, spending ends
They don't come around no more
Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child Thats got his own
Thats got his own
Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding round the door
When youre gone, spending ends
They don't come around no more
Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child Thats got his own
Voy a romper la ventana que nos separa
Colarme bailando en tu casa.
Ojos azules marrones o verdes
Vidas en bares de cielos celestes
Somos millones y te sigo y me sumo
Seamos ciudadanos de un lugar llamado mundo.
I will meet you in the city
What is there about the stars?
In the moonlight we're all pretty cos' it paints over the stars
We should put on the sun,
We are citizens of all you can see,
We've got nothing but time
You find everything you didn't do (x2)
Standing right in front of you
Ciudadanos de este mundo.
Compañeros al andar.
Cada día una aventura,
Caminamos al compás.
Hoy todo lo que pienso todo lo que hago todo lo que canto es tuyo
Hoy todo lo que dices todo lo que tocas todo lo que crees es suyo
Hoy solo damos sueños solo que sonrías solo que no frunzas el ceño.
Solo somos uno, somos ciudadanos de un lugar llamado mundo.
We should put on the sun
We are citizens of all you can see,
We've got nothing but time
You find everything you didn't do
I know you like me
I know you do
Thats why whenever I come around
She's all over you
I know you want it
It's easy to see
And in the back of your mind
I know you should be fucking me
Don't cha wish your boyfriend was hot like me?
Don't cha wish your boyfriend was a freak like me?
Don't cha
Don't cha
Don't cha wish your boyfriend was raw like me?
Don't cha wish your boyfriend was fun like me?
Don't cha
For the benefit of Mr. Kite
There will be a show tonight on trampoline
The Hendersons will all be there
Late of Pablo-Fanques Fair, what a scene
Over men and horses hoops and garters
Lastly through a hogshead of real fire!
In this way Mr. K. will challenge the world!
The celebrated Mr. K.
Performs his feat on Saturday at Bishopsgate
The Hendersons will dance and sing
As Mr. Kite flies through the ring don't be late
Messrs. K and H. assure the public
Their production will be second to none
And of course Henry The Horse dances the waltz!
The band begins at ten to six
When Mr. K. performs his tricks without a sound
And Mr. H. will demonstrate
Ten somersaults he'll undertake on solid ground
'ving been some days in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed for all
Our day will come
And we'll have everything.
We'll share the joy
Falling in love can bring.
No one can tell me
That I'm too young to know
Cause I love you so
And you love me, love me.
Our day will come
If we just wait a while.
No tears for us
Think love and wear a smile.
And our dreams are meant to be
Because we'll always stay
In love this way
Our day will come.
Our day will come
If we just wait a while.
And no tears for us
Think love and wear a smile.
And our dreams are meant to be
Because we'll always stay
In love this way.
I know it's been a while since I have talked to you
But maybe you're the one who makes the winds blow
We're looking at the stars without explanation
We contemplate as kings and simple men on trial
Our little world's fragile
Oh God can you tell us when it's going to stop
Maybe it's not just down to you
Oh God can we win back what we have lost
So who's the last resort... Oh God
Tumbling towards unclear destinations
Do they wash away the blame,
The wind and the searing rains
As our powers interchange
Oh God can you tell us when it's going to stop
Maybe it's not just down to you
Oh God can we win back what we have lost
So who's the last resort... oh God
Oh God can you tell us when it's going to stop
Maybe it's not just down to you
Oh God can we win back what we have lost
When you´re down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights
You just call out my name,
And you know whereever I am
Ill come running
To see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And Ill be there
You're nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You may be king
You may posses the world and its gold
But gold wont bring you happiness when you're growing old
The world still is the same
You'll never change it
As sure as the sun shine above
You're nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to love
You're nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You may be a king
You may posses the all world and its gold
But gold wont bring you happiness when you're growing old
The world still is the same
You'll never change it
As sure as the sun shines above you
You're nobody, nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody
You got to get yourself somebody
because you're nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody to somebody cares
You may be a king
You may posses big fat world and its gold
But gold wont bring you happiness when you're going old
The world's always the same, you'll never change it, change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody, nobody till somebody loves you
We Run Things
We run things another way,
We run things another way,
Getting love if you can love (yeah)
Getting love if you can love (yeah)
Nothing left for you to say,
Trouble melts and ridence stays,
Don't stop 'coz it's getting tense now.
We run things another way,
We run things another way,
I draw a face on a dartboard (yeah)
I wear it out like a record (yeah)
Tierd eyes an' razor blades,
Tearing through a radio wave,
Don't stop 'coz it's getting tense now
'Coz I'm trying to hold on to something, Yeahh,
'Coz if you let me,
I'll show ya
I'll do it, can ya' hear it?
We run things another way,

'Coz if you let me,
I'll show ya
I'll do it, can ya' hear it?
We run things another way,
We run things another way,
We run things another way,
We run things, another way.
After years of expensive education
A car full of books and anticipation
I'm an expert on Shakespeare and that's a hell of a lot
But the world don't need scholars as much as I thought
Maybe I'll go travelling for a year
Finding myself, or start a career
Could work the poor, though I'm hungry for fame
We all seem so different but we're just the same
Maybe I'll go to the gym, so I don't get fat
Aren't things more easy, with a tight six pack
Who knows the answers, who do you trust
I can't even seperate love from lust
Maybe I'll move back home and pay off my loans
Working nine to five, answering phones
But don't make me live for Friday nights
Drinking eight pints and getting in fights
Maybe I'll just fall in love
That could solve it all
Philosophers say that that's enough
There surely must be more
Love ain't the answer, nor is work
The truth elludes me so much it hurts
But I'm still having fun and I guess that's the key
I'm a twentysomething and I'll keep being me
THESE ARE THE DAYS
These are the days that I've been missing
Give me the taste give me the joy of summer wine
These are the days that bring new meaning
I feel the stillness of the sun and I feel fine
Sometimes when the nights are closing early
I remember you and I start to smile
Even though now you don't want to know me
I get on by, and I go the extra mile
These are the times of love and meaning
Ice of the heart has melted away and found the light
These are the days of endless dreaming
Troubles of life are floating away like a bird in flight
These are the days that I've been missing
Give me the taste give me the joy of summer wine
These are the days that bring new meaning
Be wise. Be fair. Be sure. Be there. Behave. Beware.
Be wise, be smart, behave, my heart
Don't upset your cart when she's so close
Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet
Don't go off your feet, she's to close for comfort
Too close, too close for comfort, no, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "when"
Be firm, be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort
Be wise. Be fair. Be sure. Be there.
Put on your old thinking cap boy
Cause if you don't look out you
Will find out that you are much too
You're too close for comfort.
You're heading for a mishap boy
The first thing that you know she
Will have you up that old tree.
She's too close for comfort
Too close, so close
Too close
Be firm and be fair, be absolutely sure, beware
On your guard, take care, when there's such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
Much too, too close for comfort now
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
Much too, too close for comfort now
One thing
One thing leads to another
Much too, too close for comfort now
Be wise. Be fair. Be sure. Be there. Behave. Beware.
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No no,they cant take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No no,they cant take that away from me
We may never never meet again, on that bumpy road to love
But Ill always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No no, they cant take that away from me
These are the days that I've been missing
Give me the taste give me the joy of summer wine
These are the days that bring new meaning
I feel the stillness of the sun and I feel fine
Sometimes when the nights are closing early
I remember you and I start to smile
Even though now you don't want to know me
I get on by, and I go the extra mile
These are the times of love and meaning
Ice of the heart has melted away and found the light
These are the days of endless dreaming
Troubles of life are floating away like a bird in flight
These are the days that I've been missing
Give me the taste give me the joy of summer wine
These are the days that bring new meaning
Speak low when you speak,
Our summer day withers away too soon, too soon
Speak low when you speak, love
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift, we're swept apart, too soon
Speak low, darling, speak low
Love is a spark, lost in the dark too soon, too soon
I feel wherever I go that tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here and always too soon
Time is so old and love so brief
Love is pure gold and time a thief
We're late, darling, we're late
The curtain descends, ev'rything ends too soon, too soon
I wait, darling, I wait
Will you speak low to me, and love and soon
Speak low when you speak,
Our summer day withers away too soon, too soon
Speak low when you speak, love
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift, we're swept apart, too soon
Speak low, darling, speak low
Love is a spark, lost in the dark too soon, too soon
I feel wherever I go that tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here and always too soon
Time is so old and love so brief
Love is pure gold and time a thief
We're late, darling, we're late
The curtain descends, ev'rything ends too soon, too soon
I wait, darling, I wait
They put it in a can
Everybody needs or wants to join a band
And they play, and they play, and they play
Drink more, you used it well
A million people playing at your tabloid hell
You ok, you ok, you ok, you ok
‘Cause Knoxville’s doing all your stunts
And time is running out for love
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You and me gonna set the world on fire
The president has proved himself to be a lie
So they say, so they say, so they say
So they say, so they say, so they say
Maybe just a little more to get me high
Its clear to everybody that the girl’s got style
So they say, so they say, so they say
Watched night, the Percocet
Buy it in in bulk over the internet
So they say, so they say, so they say
So grow down and rule the world
Sitting on your face with meeting random girls
Its ok, its ok, its ok, its ok
Your stone heart needs a little shove
And time is running out for love
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You and me gonna set the world on fire
The president has proved himself to be a lie
So they say, so they say, so they say
So they say, so they say, so they say
Maybe just a little more to get me high
Its clear to everybody that the girl’s got style
So they say, so they say, so they say, so they say
Your stone heart needs a little shove
Is that Green Peace picking through your junk?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You and me gonna set the world on fire
The president has proved himself to be a lie
So they say, so they say, so they say
So they say, so they say, so they say
Maybe just a little more to get me high
Its clear to everybody that the girl’s got style
Ain't thinking 'bout love today
Lost in the sunlight
Walking down memory lane
Ain't thinking 'bout you today
People from the past that I knew
Are slowly slipping away
Seems so long ago
Since we were carefree
Photographs lost in time are all I see
A pointless nostalgic-
That's me
That's me
Thoughts running round my head today
Times from the past popping up where they're from I don't know
Reminiscing my cares away
Wishing I could go back and change the points that were low
Till I've realised what life's meant to be
Photographs lost in time are all I see
A pointless nostalgic;
That's me
That's me
Reminiscing my cares away
Wishing I could go back and change the points that were low
Till I've realised what life's meant to be
Photographs lost in time are all I see
A pointless nostalgic;
That's me
That's me
It's all I'll ever be
It's all I'll ever be
Cause that's me
It's all I'll ever be
If you wanna get with me
Then you've gotta pin me down
Cover everything you see,
In the sweat that I could drown
Watch it fall and let it die,
The rain will cut you open now
All the words are plagarised,
They crystallise your tears somehow
If you look like you wann, baby I don't
Mind if I do
Girl I got your number,
Call you when the music is through
If you look like you wanna, baby I don't
Mind if I do
Girl I've got your number,
Call you when the music is through
If you wanna f*ck with me,
Lord you'll never bring me down
All the things you never see,
In the sweat I could drown
If you wanna f*ck with me,
Then you gotta get me down
All the things you never see,
In the sweat I could drown
If you look like you wanna,
Baby I don't mind if Id do, do, do
Girl I've got your number, call you when the
Music is through, through, through
If you look like you wanna, baby I don't
Mind if I do, do, do
Girl I've got your number, call you when the
Music is through, through, through
If you wanna get with me,
Then you've gotta pin me down
Everything you see's for free,
In the sweat I could drown
If you look like you wanna,
Baby I don't mind if I do, do, do
Girl I've got your number, call you when the
Music is through, through, through
If you look like you wanna,
Baby I don't mind if I do, do, do
Girl I've got your number, call you when the
Music is through, through, through
Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Girl I've got your number, call you when the
Pictures that I can't throw away
One life, tattooed
It's been several months and a day
Since we were referred to, me and you
Even though your heart has gone dry
You won't deny me my dreams
At least that's what it seems
Now that you're gone
I had to write this move on song
Just for me...
So I could figure where it went wrong
I channeled the soul of Elton John
The tea's gone cold and salty with tears
Friends beckon me out, for comeback beers
The truth be known like summer lawn
I've always been drawn to the clouds
Where I'll sit for hours
Now that you're gone
I had to write this move on song
Just for me...
I resent you being a bitch
Self-preservation, oh, that little trick
I even had the guts to call time
On a wounded while and ragged rhymes
The truth be known like summer lawn
I've always been drawn to the clouds
Where I'll sit for hours
Now that you're gone
I had to write this move on song
Just for me ...
Right now
Love's gonna make me slam my fist right through the door
It's time now
To scatter myself in all those pieces on the floor
To serve me up some shots of my words
A joke on the lessons I've learned
That darkens my world
Now that you're gone
I had to write this move on song
Everything I know is you
Let me tell you what we're listening to
I'm a gentle soul I'm sure
But on the stereo I'm a dictator
Do you even haven tape machine?
To facilitate my plastic dreams
All the things that I have seen, from
Morrissey to John Coltrane AHHH!...
Cinematic Orchestra, De La Soul the Shangri-La's
An adolescent love letter, a sparkling jewel of manual labour
I'll make you mixtape that's a blueprint of my soul
It may sound grand but babe it's all you need to know
I'll make you a mixtape that will charm you into bed
It details everything that's runnung round my head
That's runnung round my head
Fondling, record and play
Without you each record's night and day
This ain't no disc of MP3's
This one' handmade, fashioned lovingly
Plant the rythm in your bones
You're the only angel in headphones
My love can paint a million tones
From Nine Inch Nails to Louis Armstrong
So resurrect your stereo
And the swathrs of melodies will flow
Thelonious, Maurizio
I tell you babe it will make my heart glow
I'll make you mixtape that's a blueprint of my soul
It may sound grand but babe it's all you need to know
I'll make you a mixtape that will charm you into bed
VERSE ONE:
Everyone knows that I'm rightfully yours
So bring out your dirt from your previous wars
So lay thee to rest
'cause I'm chasing away all the dust that you're leaving behind
CHORUS:
Because Love ain't gonna let you down
love ain't gonna let you down no more (hmm)
Because Love ain't gonna let you down
love ain't gonna let you down no more
'Cause I'll turn your world around
and love ain't gonna let you down (hm)
VERSE TWO:
So you wear your heart like a brooch for all to see
But the blood that pumps through
So will you save that for me
I've sweetened my tongue
And I've sharpened my words and my wit
And I've written my lines
CHORUS:
Because Love ain't gonna let you down
love ain't gonna let you down no more
Because Love ain't gonna let you down
love ain't gonna let you down no more
'Cause I'll turn your world around
and love ain't gonna let you down (hm)
BRIDGE:
Feel it burning like a bomb raging
a thousand summers grazing on your skin
restlessly anticipating so many tiny things
Think as you'll love and (...) I saw
I'll be your for peace, well, at the war
Do you dream about (...) for
Busting with all other ways of a million rhymes
I'm sorry to say that I didn't know her name
In fact the last six hours are a haze
Piecing together the fragments of a frame
Why my motor skills are out of phase
I feel like I've awoken in a maze
Though we've never met before
Baby, I am sure...
Hmm. A 1, 1, 2, 3, 4...
It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
One of those things
It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
It was one of those things
If we'd thought a bit about the end of it
As we started painting the town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot not to cool down
So good-bye and amen
Here's hoping we'll meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things
One of those things
If we'd thought a bit about the end of it
As we started to bust up the town
We'd have been aware that this love affair
Was too hot not to cool down
So good-bye, good-bye and amen
Here's hopin' we'll meet now and then
It was great fun
Walking down to the water's edge
Where I have been before
If I don't gind my love sometime
I'm walking out that door
Some may come and some may go
But no-one seems to be
The person I've been searching for
The one whose meant for me
Biding my time, trying to find a heart that's lonely
Looking for her, my love my one and only
Maybe I'll dream, tonight about the girl who'll be coming my way
So I'll take this chance and celebrate the day
When I'm making my way through an open door
I've got some love and so much more
And I"m ready to make someone mine
Making my way through an open door
I've got some love and so much more
And I'll find her, 'cos it's about time
You try too hard and it feels just like
You're running on thin air
Why does luck happen by suprise
If you don't really care
The past is gone the flames are out
From fires that have burned
New ideals and different thoughts
From lessons I have learned
Biding my time, trying to find a heart that's lonely
Looking for her, my love my one and only
Maybe I'll dream, tonight about the girl who'll be coming my way
So I'll take this chance and celebrate the day
When I'm making my way through an open door
I've got some love and so much more
And I"m ready to make someone mine
Making my way through an open door
I've got some love and so much more
And I'll find her, 'cos it's about time
Got the feeling this could take a pretty long while
To find that smile
Put my faith in another piece of good advice
Well I tried that twice
Waiting for, a little something more
To inspire, take me higher
And I"m ready to make someone mine
Making my way through an open door
I've got some love and so much more
And I'll find her, 'cos it's about time
Why is it all these fakers
Seem to make the morning papers?
They're selling records by the million, seems so easy in my opinion
Look at the Jazz Star, he really needs some guts
Playing from seven to midnight, surviving on peanuts
Selling records by the dozen
Probably sold his tenor to make 'em
With artwork designed by his brother
And liner notes by his mother
Told what to do, miming to a tape
While a team of experts make sure you're looking great
Taking a limo to your own private bar
My God! I want to be a popstar!
Going to get on the T.V and go on dates with only the pretty
Maybe next year I'll pretend to be gay
I'll sell some more records in a flash that way
Makes no difference if i look like a nut
Every kid in the world is going to copy my haircut
I'll advertise some trainers, maybe even a car
Shrewd product placement will gurantee I'm a star
An ugly guy will write my songs
Surley there is nothing wrong
Retiring when I'm 22
With a house a car and nothing to do
Instantaneous satisfaction it will be
Got no need for artistic credibility
With this attitude I'm pretty sure to go far
My God! I want to be a popstar!
Maybe its too easy, to move so quickly so far
I want to be a popstar!
Where's the middle ground?
It's hard to make a living with you own true sound
What road am I going to tread?
What the hell would i do instead?
There may be no tours in Roma, or a drug-induced designer coma
No teenage girls when show is over, I prefer my women older
Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about
Sometimes it would be nice to play a place and sell out
Driving to a gig in my brand new sports car
My God! I want to be a popstar!
I want to be a popstar!
Maybe its too easy, to move so quickly so far
Every single part of me
Is burnin' possibilities
My tired eyes are blinking in the glare
And you and I should make out till
We’re drunk and have to both come up for air
Rolled up socks and empty hall
Guerrilla games of cup football
The only goal I ever really scored
The truth is I can climb a tree
And joke about how history
Remembers me
(Chorus)
I love this better than anything
I love this – everything falls apart
I think that you can mend my broken heart
Cause I love this
Where we are survivors roll
The tiny deaths do take a toll
Every single second of the youth
It’s just another secret in
The rusty confused version of the truth
It puts it in perspective
If you’re feeling too reflective
Just bones and earth remain of what you are
Have you seen the beauty in
The chaos that surrounds you like the stars
Repeat Chorus
Truthfully I've loved like I'm a dyslexic
Upside down or back or front, couldn’t fix it
A weary heart, a lonelly road, a mellow young love
Learned things
Well this time don’t let me down
Realign all the stars
Above my head
Warning signs
Travel far
I drink instead
On my own
Oh,how I've known
The battle scars
And worn out beds
Gentle now
A tender breeze blows
Whispers through a Gran Torino
Whistling another tired song
Engines humm and bitter dreams grow
Heart locked in a Gran Torino
It beats A lonely rhythm all night long
These streets are old
They shine with the things I've known
And breaks through the trees
Their sparkling
Your world
Is nothing more
Than all
The tiny things
You've left behind
So tenderly
Your story is
Nothing more
Than what you see
What you've done
Or will become
Standing strong
Do you belong
In your skin
Just wondering
Gentle now a tender breeze blows
Whispers through the Gran Torino
Whistling another tired song
Engines humm and bitter dreams grow
A heart locked in a Gran Torino
It beats A lonely rhythm
All night long
May I be so bold and stay
I need someone to hold
That shudders my skin
Their sparkling
Your world
Is nothing more
Than all
The tiny things
You've left
Behind
So realign
All the stars
Above my head
Warning signs
Travel far
I drink instead
On my own
How I've known
The battle scars
And worn out beds
Gentle now a tender breeze blows
Whispers through the Gran Torino
Whistling another tired song
Engines humm and better dreams grow
Heart locked in a Gran Torino
It beats a lonely rhythm
All night long
It beats a lonely rhythm
All night long
It beats a lonely rhythm
Dinner at eight, that sounds fine,
I suppose that means you'll turn up 'round nine.
Bought a bunch of flowers, just for her,
She says the burden's on the receiver.
I opened the door and you walked in,
(Sniff) The scent of wild jasmine.
The room, seemed to freeze in time,
My regular table will be just fine.
Radiant and elegant, you might be
But your concentration is so go-lightly
Both of your eyes reflecting the moon,
You really think you own the room.
So What Game Shall We Play Today?
How About The One Where You Don't Get Your Way?
But Even If You Do,
That's Okay.
So What Game Shall We Play Today?
How About The One Where You Don't Get Your Way?
But Even If You Do,
That's Okay.
Try to pick it up, reading the signs,
It's turning out to be a real good time,
And who'd have thought that entertainment,
Lies in the winter of your discontent.
Now, sit at the table, face to face,
Queen takes pawn, check or checkmate!
I feel your foot brush against my leg,
I'm not that easily led.
You flutter your eyes and you toss your hair,
I have to say that it is kind of unfair,
Let me tell you baby now what's in store,
You win the battle, but I'll win the war!
This has been fun, I suppose,
Although my feelings are all juxtaposed,
But truth be told, I'm as fickle as hell,
Don't wanna sound full of myself or rude
But you ain't looking at no other dudes 'cause you love me
So you think about a chance
You find yourself trying to do my dance
Maybe 'cause you love me
So then we tried, we had to slow down
Because you weren't used to how fast we touched
The we locked eyes and I knew I was in there
And I was gon' tear ya ass up
I know that I'm carrying on, never mind if I'm showing off
I was just frontin'
(You know I want ya, babe)
I'm ready to bet it all, unless you don't care at all
But you know I want ya
(You should stop frontin' babe babe, yeah yeah yeah)
Trying to be the best girlfriend you could be
But still you sneak and look at me and, girl, I love it
Then you give your other girl a shove
Tell her you gon' palm her ass like it was
And she's gon' love it
So then we tried, gotta slow down
Because you weren't used to how fast we touched
Then we locked eyes and I knew I was in there
And I was gon' tear ya ass up
I know that I'm carrying on, never mind if I'm showing off
I was just frontin'
(You know I want ya, babe)
I'm ready to bet it all, unless you don't care at all
But you know I want ya
(You should stop frontin' babe, babe, yeah yeah yeah)
I know that I'm carrying on, never mind if I'm showing off
I was just frontin'
(You know I want ya, babe)
I'm ready to bet it all, unless you don't care at all
But you know I want ya
If, I expected love, when first we kissed, blame it on my youth
If only just for you, I did exist, blame it on my youth
I believed in everything
Like a child of three
You meant more than anything
You meant all the world to me
If, you were on my mind, all night and day, blame it on my youth
If, I forgot to eat, and sleep and pray, blame it on my youth
If I cried a little bit, when first I learned the truth
I'm all at sea
Where no-one can bother me
Forgot my roots
If only for a day
Just me and my thoughts sailing far away
Like a warm drink it seeps into my soul
Please just leave me right here on my own
Later on you could spend some time with me
If you want to
All at sea
I'm all at sea
Where no-one can bother me
I sleep by myself
I drink on my own
Don't speak to nobody
I gave away my phone
Like a warm drink it seeps into my soul
Please just leave me right here on my own
Later on you could spend some time with me
If you want to
All at sea
Now I need you more than ever, I need you more than ever, now
You don't need it every day
But sometimes don't you just crave
To disappear within your mind
You never know what you might find
So come and spend some time with me
We will spend it all at sea
Like a warm drink it seeps into my soul
Please just leave me right here on my own
Later on you could spend some time with me
If you want to
Just one local call and you'll see
A happy path through life not for free
A little bit fat you can't get a girl
Short on cash I'll change your world
The only way now is straight up
Your deepest despair I'll make it stop
Just 19.95 all major credit cards
And you'll stay alive and you'll go far
In just seven short days
You'll change your life
All of your innocence found
You'll even lose a few pounds
See yourself making a mint
Quality time with your kids
Send me your money and I'll change your life
I know sometimes your life is a bitch
So come purchase my easy fix
I've been there myself sad fat and bald
But soon with my help, you'll have it all
Ill build you back up for the fight
You'll be so wound up your stomachs tight
Your the laugh of the party you'll get yourself laid
Surely you'll trust me once I've been paid
In just seven short days
You'll change your life
All of your innocence found
You'll even lose a few pounds
See yourself making a mint
Quality time with your kids
Send me your money and I'll change your life
Change
So many years ago I was so low and lonely and depressed
I hadn't left my flat in weeks and never even bothered getting dressed
And I was smoking weed and I was in a mess and that's when it happened
So I opened up the blinds to let the light in on my sorry life
I dreamed about success and money muscles women cars
And even wives and they would always attend to my every need
So do you see what you can be, baby when you're with me?
In just seven short days
You'll change your life
All of your innocence found
You'll even lose a few pounds
See yourself making a mint
Quality time with your kids
