There's been times when I'm shaken
Now I'm stronger I can't fall
Don't you know you were my haven
Through life's mess I had to crawl
Watching you watching me now
You're the one that's made me true
And if you hadn't been my backbone
I would have died in front of you
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
You're the one who pulled me back again
Showed your love and your strength as a friend
You're the one who pulled me back again
Showed your love and your strength as a friend
Everybody come back from the edge
Everybody's lesson shouldn't hurt so bad
Everybody listen what's been said
If you never learn you're gonna be misled
Thank you love for your wisdom
Thank you love for your time
Just between us you're my answer
You're the lifeline of my mind
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
You're the one who pulled me back again
Showed your love and your strength as a friend
You're the one who pulled me back again
Showed your love and your strength as a friend
Everybody come back from the edge
Everybody's lesson shouldn't hurt so bad
Everybody listen what's been said
If you never learn you're gonna be misled
Chorus (Fade)
Would you rather the feeling
Of no feeling at all
A soundless sea that slips toward
The morning shore, where you stand transfixed
Void of emotion, no clue of a notion
Transfixed like a stone
Enthralled by the feeling of no feeling at all
Pushed by my sail
I am moved by the whale
As he floats through life's seas
He seems always at ease
Show me how
Centurions guard the finely-tuned sensors
That tremble at the slightest onset of stirrings
Which switch the dampers to absorb the emotion
And trigger the filter that screens out
Time and passing
Transfixed like a stone
Enthralled by the feeling of no feeling at all
Pushed by my sail
I am moved by the whale
As he floats through life's seas
He seems always at ease
Show me how
What ya gonna do when it hits the fan
Open your mind, make a brand new plan
Do you realize that it's in your head
Wanna understand but refuse instead
If you take a deep breath and inhale
Maybe you can understand the whale
We either comprehend or we seem to fail
Pushed by my sail
I am moved by the whale
As he floats through life's seas
He seems always at ease
Show me how
Ever since you've been leaving me
I've been wanting to cry
Now I know how it feels for you
I've been wanting to die
But it's much too late for goodbyes
Yes it's much too late for goodbyes
Time has gone since I've been with you
We've been starting to lie
Now it seems you don't care for me
I don't understand why
But it's much too late for goodbyes
Yes it's much too late for goodbyes
Ever since you've been far away
I've been wanting to fly
Now I know what you meant to me
I'm the one who should cry
And it's much too late for goodbyes
Yes it's much too late for goodbyes
(Words and Music by Julian Lennon)
Want your body
Want your mind
Live together
Both unwind
Love is what we need to say
Live together anyway
When you say hello
But you mean goodbye
When you're lying awake
Go ahead and cry
When you know in your heart
That they'll tear us apart
I love you
Want your body
Want your mind
Why are people so unkind
Never listen to what they say
Turn your head and look away
When you say hello
But you mean goodbye
When you're lying awake
Go ahead and cry
When your closin' the door
Don't you look back for more
I love you
Oo, oo, ah. Oo do do do, do do do, do, oo.
Want your body
Want your mind
Live in sin
Let's both entwine
Love is what we need to say
Live together anyway
When you say hello
But you mean goodbye
When you're lying awake
Go ahead and cry
When your closing the door
Don't you look back for more
I love you
You say hello,
nowhere to go,
against the wall,
you start to fall.
Under the heavens floating gently,
a vision I long to see will be,
finding the road to resolution,
watching the day break over me.
And the walls keep tumbling down,
and the walls keep tumbling down.
I touch you heart,
I feel your pain,
and the walls keep tumbling down.
You're not alone,
you're not to blame,
and the walls keep tumbling down.
There's no disgrace,
beyond the shame,
and the walls keep tumbling down.
You're hurt inside,
I feel the same,
and the walls keep tumbling down.
Under the heavens floating gently,
a vision I long to see will be,
finding the road to resolution,
watching the day break over me.
You look inside your soul and then,
you criticize your life again,
you face the truth without a doubt,
you feel you have to scream and shout,
to let the demons out,
to save you from the depths of darkness,
free your soul, return to calmness...today.
And the walls keep tumbling down,
and the walls keep tumbling down.
You say hello,
nowhere to go,
and the walls keep tumbling down,
against the wall,
you start to fall.
and the walls keep tumbling down,
and the walls keep tumbling down,
and the walls keep tumbling down,
and the walls keep tumbling down.
If you want to tell me something new
I might stick around
If you want to say that I trust you
I might stick around
But if you disappear
Then nothing will be clear, ah
And if you go away
Then where am I to stay, ah
To stay, ah
If you say your love won't bring me down
I might stick around
If I kiss your lips just one more time
I could lose control
But if you disappear
Then nothing will be clear, ah
And if you go away
Then where am I to stay, ah
To stay, ah
If I breathe your scent just one more time
I could be controlled
If you tempt me with your final sin
I could be controlled
But if you disappear
Then nothing will be clear, ah
And if you go away
Then where am I to stay, ah
To stay, ah...(repeat and fade)
Through the window the plane goes by
Watch my lips as I say good-bye
Can't you see I don't want to cry
On this Sunday morning
Drop my change as I move away
Can't you see I just want you to stay
Please don't hate me for being this way
On this Sunday morning
Oh, please don't keep me hanging on
Oh, oh, oh won't you hold me in your arms
Through the window the plane goes by
Waiting for you to call and cry
Please don't do this or I shall die
On this Sunday morning
Oh, please don't keep me hanging on
Oh, oh, oh won't you hold me in your arms
Oh, please don't keep me hanging on
Oh, oh, oh won't you hold me in your arms
On this Sunday morning
Won't you be my love again
Won't you be my love again for the second time...
Walking down this dusty road
I can leave them all behind
Where I'm off to no one knows
It brings me peace of mind
I'm looking for my true friend
The one that really cares
Walking down this dusty road
Gives me strength to share
Won't you be my love again
For the second time
You know you're gonna be in line
Won't you be my love again
For the second time
You know you're gonna be in line
Will you be my witness
To this love affair
Will you be the one for me
The answers to my prayers
Won't you be my love again
For the second time
You know you're gonna be in line
Won't you be my love again
For the second time
You know you're gonna be in line
Won't you be my love again
For the second time
You know you're gonna be in line
Won't you be my love again
For the second time
You know you're gonna be in line
For the second time
You know you're gonna be in line
Take me home for the ride
I won't be alone
Take me home for the ride
You won't be alone
We won't be alone tonight
I am standing in the shadows of the garden
Confessing to the pale moon above
If I tell you how I feel
You might harden
I'm scared of being lonely
And of dying without love
Take me home for the ride
I won't cry alone
Take me home for the ride
You won't cry alone
We won't cry alone tonight
I need everything I know you could provide me
But every time I love the flower dies
There's a darkness in the air
That seems to guide me
If you want to see the heartache
You can look into my eyes
Take me home for the ride
I won't die alone
Take me home for the ride
You won't die alone
We won't die alone tonight
Sometimes our emotions make it hard
For us to see that
At the heart of loving is respect and honesty
And sometimes I'm afraid that I give
Less than I should give
But this time I will hold you
For as long as I live
I won't die alone
You won't die alone
We won't die alone tonight
You don't make me feel like I used to do, Oh no
'cause I've already seen the other side of you, Oh yeah
Look at me while you're smiling through your lies
Swear blind, they ain't nothing you can hide.
It's O.K. for you
'cause it's O.K., O.K.
It's O.K. for you,
there ain't nothing to disguise
You suck me in, and then you spit me out
It makes me wanna scream, and it makes me wanna shout.
I don't need you now like I used to do, Oh no
'cause I've found another girl who's completely true, Oh yeah
Turn away, try to catch me with your spies
Mirror cracks, see the devil in your eyes.
It's O.K. for you
'cause it's O.K., O.K.
It's O.K. for you
there ain't nothing to disguise
You suck me in, and then you spit me out
It makes me wanna scream and it makes me wanna shout.
It's O.K. for you
'cause it's O.K., O.K.
It's O.K. for you,
there ain't nothing you can hide
You suck me in, and then you spit me out
It makes me wanna scream, and it makes me wanna shout.
Da da doo da doo da da doo da

There's a light on that covers the blue
and I want to be closer to you
and she's smiling and waving goodbye,
who'd've thought that I'd ever ask why?
And she's waving goodbye with that photograph smile,
under the heavenly blue,
I'm never gonna be closer again,
I'll never know,
I'll never feel you, ever again.
And I wait sitting here by the phone,
with the hope that your heart isn't stone
and I wish that you'd call me and cry,
so I'd know how you feel deep inside.
And she's waving goodbye with that photograph smile,
under the heavenly blue,
I'm never gonna be closer again,
I'll never know,
I'll never feel you, ever again.
Heavenly voice won't you guide me,
help me I'm falling too deep.
And she's waving goodbye with that photograph smile,
I'm still in love with that photograph smile,
please don't deny me,
I've waited so long,
waited so long,
I want to feel you, feel you again.
Hate city rivals first pulse and then freakola
Dreaming of redemption, no end
To the living edit, the sound of amputation
Or the centrifugal pull of an endless bend
Until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down
There's a shimmering dog sayin' danger what's at work here
The in growing twitch of faceless laughter
A cause without end to serve forever
The missionary madness of the sacrificial lamb
Until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down
Not until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down
Until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down
Not until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down
On the hero's tomb is written
Not what he was, but what he should've been
And nothing you can do will change the circumstances
Just a mild infuriation with statistics of sin
Until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down
Not until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down
Until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down
Not until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down
A circular lie in a calibrated order
Weathering time with salt 'n' water
Tears that you cry are your endeavor
To break into the madness of imaginary lines, until
You shoot, shoot that rebel king down
Not until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down
'Til you shoot, shoot that rebel king down
Not until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down
'Til you shoot, shoot that rebel king down
Not until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down
Open the door to me
It's raining outside
Drenched in life's misery tonight
This lonely night
Day for day
With the stars falling at our feet
All the time
We were living down on easy street
She won't be home tonight
Because our luck has changed
And nothing stays the same
When the sky falls down
Does it make a sound
On the other side of town
So we live with less
Love and happiness
On the other side of town
I cry to sleep
Wondering who
Cradles you softly and true
Day for day
With the stars falling at our feet
All the time
We were living down on easy street
She won't be home tonight
Because our luck has changed
Nothing stays the same
When the sky falls down
Does it make a sound
On the other side of town
So we live with less
Love and happiness
On the other side of town
Mother Mary, your hold on me
Denies my feelings
From those who can see
Your sacred wisdom
Can caress my soul
Confused and forsaken
By what I've been told
It always sounded so right to me
To offer my prayers
With the hope to be free
Mother Mary, is this wrong for me
To judge myself by what you see
And if I stand here
Will you stand by me
If the choice that I make
Is the choice to be me
I've heard your words
In so many ways
Do I trust myself
Beyond your praise
My heart has been touched
By something said
I want to go with her
I want to be led
I knelt at your side
Did you feel me
I gave you my all
To be nearer to thee
Mother Mary, is this wrong for me
To judge myself by what you see
And if I stand here
Will you stand by me
If the choice that I make
Is the choice to be me
You know I'll always be there
You know I'll always be there
You know I'll always be there
Can't you show me a way to believe
Have I been enlightened, misled or deceived
It always sounded so right to me
To offer my prayers
With the hope to be free
Mother Mary, is this wrong for me
To judge myself by what you see
And if I stand here
Will you stand by me
If the choice that I make
Is the choice to be me
I've been waiting in line
I don't have the heart to say goodbye
It's only money
But it won't be much longer
Till we say goodbye
And you know I'm a sentimental kind of thing
And you know if I work hard and I sing
I'm gonna make it up
Gonna make it up to you
Got to make it up
Got to make it up to you
I'm just waiting my time
I'm trying so hard to work it out
It's sometimes funny
But we'll hold on to our love
Till we cry goodbye
And you know I'm gonna try a little harder everyday
'Cause in this life you gotta work hard
To pay
I'm gonna make it up
Gonna make it up to you
Got to make it up
Got to make it up to you
But if my lovin' doesn't hold our love together
I'll be washing my blues away
And if your lovin' can go on until forever
We'll be livin' the news every single day
Chorus (Fade)
All of my love
All of my time
Drawn like a line to you
But it's never enough
Hold me back and tell me now
I know it's plain to see
Maybe I was wrong
To believe it was you
Maybe I was wrong
To believe it was you
I could almost touch the sky
With you darling by my side
Close your eyes and you can find
Silence in this heartless time
I know it's plain to see
Maybe I was wrong
To believe it was you
Maybe I was wrong
To believe it was you
Won't you tell me
Am I dreaming
Can't escape this drowning feeling
I know it's plain to see
Maybe I was wrong
To believe it was you
Maybe I was wrong
To believe it was you
Maybe I was wrong
to believe it was you
Maybe I was wrong
Maybe I was wrong
Maybe I was wrong
Maybe I was wrong
You say you've got problems
I've got them myself
But you depend on me to help you out
Please, let me be
Some people tell me you're moving away
I've been assured that you're going to stay...
So please let me be
Please let me be
Some people tell me you're moving away
I've been assured that you're going to stay...
So please let me be
Please let me be
You said you never could love me
Unless I was nice
I know my conscience has told me
I better think twice
You said my home was a chessboard
With no place to play
I know I move my decisions
But that's how I play
You ask me to hold you tight
Whenever the feeling's right
I know that I want you to stay
So please don't go away
You said I'd never be with you
But I'm by your side
I'd cross the waterless desert
To be by your side
Always think twice
You better think twice
You ask me to hold you tight
Whenever the feeling's right
I know that I want you to stay
So please don't go away
You ask me to hold you tight
Whenever the feeling's right
I know that I want you to stay
So please don't go away
Our love's as strong as the heavens
'Cause God's on our side
No one could ever believe us
You better think twice
You better think twice
You better think twice
You better think twice
You better think twice
You better think twice
You better think twice
A love beyond a look,
a touch beyond temptation,
a vision beyond vogue,
one of God's finest creations.
Well it's the kiss beyond the catcher,
there is nothing that could match her.
To touch her in a place,
beyond the anguish of the chase,
far from the endless race,
a love beyond embrace.
Well it's the kiss beyond the catcher,
there is nothing that could match her.
Nobody knows which way she goes!?
Nobody knows which way she goes!?
Well she's sitting there alone,
like a queen upon a throne,
if she'd only catch my glance,
then I might have half a chance.
Well it's the kiss beyond the catcher,
there is nothing that could match her.
Well it's the kiss beyond the catcher,
there is nothing that could match her.
Nobody knows which way she goes!?
Nobody knows which way she goes!?
He said, she said, forget about this conversation
there's nothing you can do to make me smile.
(least not for a while)
I think, she's wrong,
I'm sure there's something I could say,
to warm her heart and make her want to stay,
(if not) I'll be on my way!
(that's what they say) I'll be on my way!
It's the little boy inside,
that forces me to hide,
when the walls I'm breaking through,
make me separate from you,
when all I wish to do
is say that I love you.
Well it's the kiss beyond the catcher,
there is nothing that could match her....
You think you know what makes me happy
You think you know what makes me cry
You think you know everything about me
Well from the horse's mouth it's lies
You say you know the situation
You say you understand just why
You know shit about absolutely nothing
You're gonna get no clues from this guy
You should think about not faking all the time
Discretion is a word that's always on my mind
Don't make me listen
I just can't listen
'Cause it brings me down, you're such a clown
Just take that red nose off your face
Don't you feel ashamed, don't you feel disgraced
You're afraid to admit to being guilty
You're afraid to stare at your face
And you pretend that life is always rosy
Wake up and join the human race
How can you honestly say you love me
When you can't even love yourself
You think your word is gospel now
You're just repeating past opinions
You should think about not faking all the time
Discretion is a word that's always on my mind
Don't make me listen
I just can't listen
'Cause it brings me down, you're such a clown
Just take that red nose off your face
Don't you feel ashamed, don't you feel disgraced
Well you should think about not faking all the time
Discretion is a word that's always on my mind
Don't make me listen
I just can't listen
'Cause it brings me down, you're such a clown
Just take that red nose off your face
Don't you feel ashamed, don't you feel disgraced
When they sell the final weapon, we can all watch it blow
Keep the people working, working
Keep the people working, working
Keep the people working, working
Gotta keep the people working
In the bed of iron they cast the final weapon
Just to keep the people working, got to keep the people working
From the mines of Anatolia to the isle of Mandalay
Along the coast of sullen Africa, they're queuing up to pay
No cause, I don't discriminate, I sell to those who buy
There never was an innocent who didn't want to die
And with demand upon the increase what could keep the cost down
If I keep the people fighting, I can really go to town
No surprise, the cash you borrow, we can close the deal tomorrow
Just Swiss francs or dollars won't cause me any borrow, boy
In a bed of iron they cast the final weapon
Just to keep the people working, got to keep the people working
In a bed of iron they cast the final weapon
Just to keep the people working, got to keep the people working
Everybody itching for someone to serve the task
I'll arm the politician for the coup, the crew, the cast,
I have a score of different faces, I can look like a lord
Seen in high places, flying on the Concorde
Well you can marvel at precision, you can dial a telephone
Call up color vision from the safety of your home
You can mount the great offensive from a button by the chair
If you arm the right system, you can ionize the air
In a bed of iron, they cast the final weapon
Just to keep the people working, got to keep the people working
In a bed or iron they cast the final weapon
Just to keep the people working, got to keep the people working
Like the wind across the frontier or the breaking light of day
I push across the mountains, all around the Bay of Biscay
Freeze in North America, boil in Pakistan
All along the amazon, from the fire to the frying pan
Whether air, sea or battle ground, desert sand or snow
When they sell the final weapon we can all watch it blow
When I open my eyes to the day
You are the first thing I see
We have lived together, loved together
You know how hard that can be
I've seen your face
A thousand times before
You know I know your secrets
Locked behind the door
Say the words and I'll be by your side
Far from the ties that hold me
Say the words of love and you'll know where to find me
Sharing the thoughts of our dreams
I've seen your face
A thousand times before
You know I know your secrets
Locked behind my door
When I'm loose and on the road
And don't know what to do
I just stare at the phone and wish I was home
Picturing visions of you
I've seen your face
A thousand times before
You know I know your secrets
Locked behind the door
Say the words and I'll be by your side
Far from the ties that hold me
We have lived together, loved together
You know how hard that can be
I've kissed your face
A thousand times before
You know I know your secrets
Locked behind my door
doo doo doo doo...
I've kissed your lips
A thousand times before
You know I know your secrets
Locked behind my door
If I could say to you
and you could say to me,
love is not enough,
to keep our devotion,
'cos time and time again,
you've disappeared and then,
you've come home to me
and played my emotions.
And I, I should have know before,
that you would break my heart
and I'm trapped in this lonely room,
because you broke my heart,
I should have known right from the start.
You showed me how to laugh,
you showed me how to cry,
I gave you everything,
my love and devotion.
You tore my life apart,
you killed my inner heart,
you raped every part of me,
you raped my emotions.
And I, I should have know before,
that you would break my heart
and I'm trapped in this lonely room,
because you broke my heart,
I should have known right from the start.
And I, I should have know before,
that you would break my heart
and I'm trapped in this lonely room,
because you broke my heart,
I should have known,
I should have known....
I've looked in your eyes and noticed the light
Almost has gone
Why don't you show me
Just how our poor lives have gone wrong
I'll understand if you tell me it's another man
But don't abuse me, refuse me
And mess with my mind
Don't you need me
'Cause I'm lost without a friend
Well do you need me
'Cause I can't hold you tight
'Cause I want you to know
That I've had enough of fooling around
And I want you to show
That you'll give us just one more chance
Will you be ready tonight
'Cause I hope so
Let's make a deal, go away for a day or two
Maybe revise, compromise, do what we want to do
You'll have your coffee in bed
But you'll share it with me
I'll kiss you everywhere, hold me
Don't let me go free
Don't you need me
'Cause I'm lost without a friend
Well do you need me
'Cause I can't hold tight
'Cause I want you to know
That I've had enough of fooling around
Ah don't stop at nothin'
And I want you to show
That you'll give us just one more chance
Ah don't stop at nothin'
Will you be ready tonight
Will you be ready tonight
Even if you never leave me
I keep dreaming sentimental reasons
For your lovey-dovey honey I'm your once in a lifetime
Always be your prime time
Looking backwards see the blue sea
Will you kiss me, hoping that you'll miss me
Please don't tease me, love me please me
Let's make a deal, go away for a day or two
Maybe revise, compromise, do what we want to do
Don't you need me
'Cause I'm lost without a friend
Well do you need me
'Cause I can't hold tight
You give me nothing but your heartache tonight
But if you love me won't you hold on to me tight
'Cause I want you to know
That I've had enough of fooling around
Ah don't stop at nothin'
And I want you to show
That you'll give us just one more chance
Ah don't stop at nothin'
'Cause I want you to know
That I've had enough of fooling around
Ah don't stop at nothin'
And I want you to show
That you'll give us just one more chance
Ah don't stop at nothin'
Chorus (Fade)
How many times must I lead you to water,
how many times must I catch you from grace
and how many times must the lamb go to slaughter,
it seems that things will never change.
How many times can you trust your conviction,
how many times can you feel your own pain
and how many days of your life are prediction,
it seems that things will never change.
How many times can we develop something we've just done
and how many times can we re-run the race that we've just won.
Well, we're always looking, for something new,
but what difference does it make, when there's no point of view,
'cos when you can't even take care of the past,
how do you expect the future to last?
Well, there's people in pain, all over the world,
and if something doesn't change, between man and his world,
say goodbye to all the birds and the bees,
deforestation and the death of the trees,
immunization, as we fall to our knees,
I'm begging you, please! I'm begging you, please!
How many times can we live without loving,
how many times can we choose our own fate
and how many times can we clip the white dove's wing,
it seems that things will never change.
How many times can we sin without savior,
and how many times can we cloud our own truth
and how many times must we judge our own failure,
it seems that things will never change.
How many times can we develop something we've just done
and how many times can we re-run the race that we've just won.
Well, we're always looking, for something new,
but what difference does it make, when there's no point of view,
'cos when you can't even take care of the past,
how do you expect the future to last?
Well, there's people in pain, all over the world,
and if something doesn't change, between man and his world,
say goodbye to all the birds and the bees,
deforestation and the death of the trees,
immunization, as we fall to our knees,
I'm begging you, please! I'm begging you, please!
How many times can we develop something we've just done
and how many times can we re-run the race that we've just won...
Wind through the window,
come sing me a song.
Show me the way to go home.
I've been disconnected,
loved and rejected,
travelling inside of my soul.
And I've clenched my fist
and I've cried for love
and I've prayed for the other souls out of control
and the answers that came from above.
And it's good to be lonely sometimes,
it's better than nothing at all.
It's good to be lonely sometimes,
at least I'm prepared for the fall
and it's better than nothing at all.
It's good to be lonely.
Rain on the train tracks,
the beat of my heart,
the rhythm of life carries on,
in memories and dreams
of the faces and places,
I know I'll always belong.
And I've clenched my fist
and I've cried for love
and I've prayed for the other souls out of control
and the answers that came from above.
And it's good to be lonely sometimes,
it's better than nothing at all.
It's good to be lonely sometimes,
at least I'm prepared for the fall
and it's better than nothing at all.
It's good to be lonely.
All my fears
and all my doubts
and all my secrets
have found me out.
And it's good to be lonely sometimes,
it's better than nothing at all.
It's good to be lonely sometimes,
at least I'm prepared for the fall
and it's better than nothing at all.
It's good to be lonely....
If you take a ride on a plane or a train
You know you're going somewhere
but is it in vain
Oh tell me
Please tell me
Catch a staring glance at the man on the ground
Do you think his life has been lost or found
Please tell me
Oh tell me
Is anybody out there
Can you find it in your heart to care
Do you find it the same
In your life, you must help yourself
If you don't
There will be no one else
You've got to save yourself, you know, you know
If you want the apple of your eye
You've gotta make a move
Give it one more try
Then savor the flavor
Got to get up, got to feel the day
Make a strong move
Make it all go your way
Baby, not just maybe
Is anybody out there
can you find it in your heart to care
Do you find it the same
In your life, you must help yourself
If you don't
There will be no one else
You've got to save yourself, you know, you know
If you look at me you'll see a fragile man
Looking for an open door to bring him back into the light
If you listen to my heart for just one day
You'll hear the sound of love I've found that
Disappeared and went away
Don't Let Me Down, There's maybe no tomorrow
Don't Let Me Down, My heart is full of sorrow
Don't Let Me Down, There's little time to borrow
Don't Let Me Down
She was lonely only just the other day
Until we met with no regret
We've found what we'd been searching for
Until she couldn't take the love that we became
Left behind a heart that's blind
And left me standing in the rain
Don't Let Me Down, There's maybe no tomorrow
Don't Let Me Down, My heart is full of sorrow
Don't Let Me Down, There's little time to borrow
Don't Let Me Down
I'm still falling, falling in love again
I can't stop
I won't stop Loving
Tomorrow's gone again
If you look at me you'll see a fragile man
Searching for the open door to bring him back into the light
Don't Let Me Down, There's maybe no tomorrow
Don't Let Me Down, My heart is full of sorrow
Don't Let Me Down, There's little time to borrow
Don't Let Me Down
Don't Let Me Down, 'Cause there's maybe no tomorrow
Don't Let Me Down, There's maybe no tomorrow
Don't Let Me Down, My heart is full of sorrow
Don't Let Me Down, There's little time to borrow
Don't Let Me Down
Everybody knows, every kind of fool
I'm just one that sees the world with open eyes
the countless lies, the truth denied,
which ever way the wind blows
and we're crucified - crucified
on the cross of innuendo
and we're shaking the faith of the fools,
everyone's forsaking and breaking the rules.
Is there nothing sacred - we're naked,
in fear of what we do, they're watching you.
Everything we say and everything we do
questions our morality and judges us
for who we are and how bizarre,
we're all freaks in this sideshow
and we're crucified - crucified
on the cross of innuendo
and we're shaking the faith of the fools,
everyone's forsaking and breaking the rules.
Is there nothing sacred - we're naked,
in fear of what we do, they're watching you.
We're hypnotized an patronized
which ever way the wind blows
and we're crucified - crucified
on the cross of innuendo
and we're shaking and breaking the rules,
everyone's forsaking the faith of the fools
can't you see we're chasing the dreams of the fools
don't you know they're faking and breaking the rules
the countless lies
which ever way the wind blows
and we're crucified - crucified
on the cross of innuendo
and we're shaking the faith of the fools
everyone's forsaking and breaking the rules.
Is there nothing sacred - we're naked,
in fear of what we do, they're watching you.
I've read the headlines covering your wall,
a thousand lifetimes, you must have lived them all,
we took our chances, I love the way you fall.
Over there, I see you over there,
tossed around the sun,
I can feel you everywhere tonight.
Don't leave me cold,
living life without you - cold,
dreams don't always come true - cold,
everything we've been through,
don't leave me cold.
You are the flower, growing in my hand,
hour by hour, the more I understand,
a million colors, of woman and a man.
Over there, I see you over there,
tossed around the sun,
I can feel you everywhere tonight.
Don't leave me cold,
living life without you - cold,
dreams don't always come true - cold,
everything we've been through,
don't leave me cold.
Over there, I see you over there,
tossed around the sun,
I can feel you everywhere tonight.
Don't leave me cold,
living life without you - cold,
dreams don't always come true - cold,
everything we've been through,
don't leave me cold.
Don't leave me cold,
living life without you - cold,
dreams don't always come true - cold,
everything we've been through,
don't leave me cold....
You know that true love's always hard to find
but it seems it's harder when true love divides
I wanna believe
that we can move on without the pain
and I wanna believe
that we can move on without the blame
we can't somehow,
we tear ourselves apart
and leave a broken heart.
If we believed in love
we wouldn't worry 'bout the problems of tomorrow,
there'd be a strength inside of us
to last the rest of our lives,
we'd never break away, never let go,
we'd never break away, never let go.
I feel that I've been torn apart in two
My empathy walks hand in hand with you
I just wanna be free
from all of the guilt I feel inside
I just wanna be free,
so I can release my selfish pride.
It's hard for us
to dry our crying eyes,
it's no surprise to see.
If we believed in love
we wouldn't worry 'bout the problems of tomorrow,
there'd be a strength inside of us
to last the rest of our lives,
we'd never break away, never let go,
we'd never break away, never let go.
And I wanna believe
that we can move on without the pain
and I wanna believe
that we can move on without the blame
we can't somehow,
we tear ourselves apart
and leave a broken heart....
And she cries, when the rain begins to fall
and she hides, from the shadows on the wall,
'cos she knows, there is nothing she can do at all.
Goodbye.
She lives for him,
he is her only sin,
she prays to God,
that he'll come back again.
She'll let him go
and never let it show.
Oh, oh, oh
and she cries.
And she walks, by his house most every day
and she lies, to herself as if to say,
I don't need him, he was no good for me anyway.
Goodbye.
She lives for him,
he is here only sin,
she prays to God,
that he'll come back again.
She'll let him go
and never let it show.
Oh, oh, oh
and she cries.
She's living a dream that won't come true,
she's living a nowhere point of view,
no, nobody knows what she's been through,
she'll do anything he wants her to,
There's not really much else she can do.
Who know? Maybe tomorrow?
You know she lives for him,
he is here only sin,
she prays to God,
that he'll come back again.
She'll let him go
and never let it show.
Oh, oh, oh
and she cries...and she cries...and she cries.
Look up as I lie in bed,
feeling the presence of the dead
I get a feeling from your stare,
this is something that we know
I hear you
Do you hear me?
There's something I've got to ask,
are you part of my family tree?
Well, I don't know
but I'm curious all the same
I've been thinking for some time now
Please tell me why you came
Is it something else in you,
or is it something passing through?
Does it show you any light,
or does it tell you what to write?
'Cause I feel you
Do you feel me?
There's something I've got to ask,
will you become part of me?
Well, I don't know
but I'm curious all the same
I've been thinking for some time now
Please tell me why you came
Please tell me why you came...
When my heart has skipped a beat,
I feel it's someone I'm gonna meet
Is this just my imagination,
or have I built my own creation?
I'm near you,
and you're near me
There's something I've got to ask,
is there life after death for me?
Well, I don't know
but I'm curious all the same
I've been thinking for some time now
Please tell me why you came
Please tell me why you came...
I'm walking in the air,
and it feels just like I'm sleeping
You know, I can't touch the ground now
because you'd hear the creaking
Space is like the heavens
A place of peace and stillness
Space is my heaven...Woh
I can see the planets turning,
It's like something that's not true
I'm really sure I must be dreaming
'cause I'm here from out of the blue
Space is like the heavens
A place of peace and stillness
Space is my heaven...Woh
Space is like the heavens
A place of peace and stillness
Space is my heaven...Woh
You say you love me, but I think you're wrong
We've had times in the past when we weren't so strong
Well, I don't know which way to turn
And I don't know which way to turn
The times have changed, I can read your face
There's been so many lies and no tears with your cries
Well I don't know which way to turn
And I don't know which way to turn
I've been ashamed for so many years
I don't know how to cope when you bring out the tears
And I don't know which way to turn
'Cause I don't know which end to burn
I love you more than a man could say
We've been through a lot
gone our sep'rate ways
'Cause I don't know which way to turn
And I don't know which way to turn
I said I love you, well, I do
I don't know whether I'm wrong or whether I'm right
or which way to turn
And I don't know which way to turn
I'm on the phone once again
I feel like callin' ev'ryone I know
I called my girl twice last night
She always cries when we have a fight
Ooh, I'm down on my luck again
I really don't know what to do
Yes, I'm down on my luck again
and I don't know what to do
But baby, I'll call you as soon as I get home
I'm on my own once again
I feel the need to be with someone
All my friends have been and gone
My girl's at home and she's all alone
Ooh, I'm down on my luck again
I really don't know what to do
Yes, I'm down on my luck again
and I don't know what to do
But baby, I'll call you as soon as I get home
I'm on the phone once again
I feel like callin' ev'ryone I know
I called my girl twice last night
She always cries when we have a fight
Ooh, I'm down on my luck again
I really don't know what to do
Yes, I'm down on my luck again
and I don't know what to do
Yes, I'm down on my luck again
and I don't know what to do
Yes, I'm down on my luck again
and I don't know what to do
But baby, I'll call you as soon as I get home
Doot doot doo da...
Doot doot doo da...
Doot doot doo da da da da
Doot doot doo da...
Doot doot doo da...
Doot doot doo da da da da....
When I wake up in the morning
with the sun above my head
I pull the blinds down slowly
The room seems almost dead
And I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again
Yes, I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again
I get up quickly,
like a flash of light
I put my clothes on,
neat and right
I work all day,
I work at night
When do I find out
what I'm doing right?
And I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again
Yes, I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again
The time has come
when I need to change
I don't know what to do
I'm really restless
My nerves are breaking
The lying feeling's coming through
And I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again
Yes, I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again
Jesse's in a new low rider outside Frank's Drive-in
He's there with Juanita and the gang but nodding out again
Jesse you're a fool to yourself
'cause you won't stop
You can't take it with you
Jesse you're losing yourself
Ooh....Don't be a fool again
There may not be a next time
Ooh....Don't be a fool again...Jesse
Jesse, there's a whole world out there
that you can't ignore
But nickel bags and chrome-lined cars
is that all that you are?
Jesse, you can't get their respect if you don't stop
you don't even want to
Jesse, you're losing yourself
Ooh....Don't be a fool again
There may not be a next time
Ooh....Don't be a fool again...Jesse
Jesse's in a new low rider outside Frank's Drive-in

Ooh....Don't be a fool again

Ooh....Don't be a fool again...
I know what I want
Can't get it now
She knows what I want
Can't get it now
Well, she's packed her bag, she's home tonight
You better hope that she don't miss the flight
You know what I need
I need it now
She knows what I need
We'll share it now
Well, my baby's comin' home tonight
I better hope that she's gonna be all right
We know what we need
We'll get it now
We'll get together
And show ya how
Well, they say she's not the type for me
What do they know? I know me
I know what I want
Can't get it now
She knows what I want

Do do do do do. Do do do do do do do do do.
You don't have to tell me
You don't have to cry
You don't have to worry
'Cause I'm by your side
You don't have to tell me
What you're feeling inside
I know that feeling
And it ain't love or pride
I know there's problems
But you gotta be strong
You'll never know whether love's right or wrong
You don't have to tell me
You don't have to cry
You don't have to worry
'Cause I'm by your side
Isn't life a mystery
When we hit that brick wall
It always feels like
You're gonna tumble and fall
Your heart tells you one thing
But your mind disagrees
You never know which inside you should please
You don't have to tell me
You don't have to cry
You don't have to worry
'Cause I'm by your side
Funny how they tell us
We're gonna be fine
Isn't it according to what's on our minds
They could have our problems
But what do they know?
Funny how we treat life
It's stop, start or go
You don't have to tell me
what you're feeling inside
I know that feeling and it ain't love or pride
I know there's problems
But you gotta be strong
You'll never know whether love's right or wrong
You don't have to tell me
You don't have to cry
You don't have to worry
'Cause I'm by your side
Look at the starry skies
To see what we can find
You never know just what
Just what we left behind
But when you know for sure
Will you help me out?
This is my day
The only day
The only night I stay
This is my day
The only day
The only night I stay
Look at your starry eyes
The beauty of your mind
If I kissed you once
Love will make you blind
But when you know for sure
Will you help me out
This is my day
The only night
The only night I stay
This is my day
The only day
The only night I stay
This is my day
The only day
The only night I stay
This is my day
The only day
The only night I stay
Look for me when you dream
Or when you're all alone
Let's look at where we've been
The future is unknown
But when you know for sure
Will you help me out
This is my day
The only day
The only night I stay
This is my day
The only day
The only night I stay
This is my day
The only day
The only night I stay
This is my day
The only night
The night you let me stay
This is my day
Let me stay
Ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh.
Let me tell you now
Let me tell you
Let me tell you
Let me tell you right now
Let me tell you 'bout the girls I used to know
'Round the corner on the streets below

They're the kind of girls that make you smile
Let me tell you now

Let me tell you
Let me tell you right now
Let me tell you
Let me tell you

And she pulled me aside
Let me tell ya

What she did to me one night
I was foolin' around
In the back of the car
And she moved with me all night
do do do...
Ooo
Found a place in my life
For the feeling of emotion
It cuts like a knife
When you find love is true
Found a place in my life
For the feeling of devotion
It cuts like a knife
When you find love is true
Yes, I need ya
How I want ya

I used to be a soldier boy
'Till they shot me in the head
They made me eat their dirt
Of the living and the dead
I'm sick and tired of slaving
And shoveling their shit
And when you trust your feelings
They toss you in the pit
Yes I've been named a coward
I'm not a living friend
Yes I've been named a coward
A coward 'till the end
You seem so apprehensive
You question my beliefs
Seems life is so expensive
Ends are hard to meet
You make me feel offensive
In ev'ry move I make
I'm always up against the wall
And it's just too much to take
Yes I've been named a coward
I'm not a living friend
Yes I've been named a coward
A coward 'till the end
Whoa Whoa oh oh
Why am I to blame
Why am I put up on trial
When it's you who should be questioned
For all the people you defiled
You stay in all my nightmares
Until the very end
She's the only one who cares
In her I have a friend
Yes I've been named a coward
I'm not a living friend
Yes I've been named a coward
A coward 'till the end whoa
Yes I've been named a coward
A coward 'till the end.
(repeat to fade)
I wanna touch you
I wanna hold you
I want to love you
but not to mold you
I wanna feel you
I want to kiss you
I wanna leave you
so I can miss you.
Please, show me the way you are,
show me the answers to how I can start
to find the way to your heart.
I wanna see you...untangled
I wanna see you...from every angle
I can't hold back...things I've never told you,
I believe that love will come around again.
So please, show me the way you are,
show me the answers to how I can start
to find a way to your heart.
Open your eyes as you look to the skies
and you see her just floating on by.
Consciously try with the tears that you cried to hold on,
teach me to love once again.
Reach, if you can, for her angel - like hand
and pull her right into your heart.
Don't waste a day with your insecure ways,
she'll be gone - and you'll never see her again.
I wanna hear you...whisper softly,
say you love me...say it softly.
Please, show me the way you are,
show me the answers to how I can start
show me the way
show me the key that will open the door,
show me the way you are.
Show me the answers to how I can start
to find the way to your heart.
Show me the way you are,
show me the answers to how I can start
to find a way to your heart.
I wanna touch you
I wanna hold you
I want to love you
but not to mold you
I wanna feel you
I want to kiss you...
We used to laugh
We used to cry
We used to bow our head then
Wonder why
But now you're gone
I guess I'll carry on
And make the best of what you left me
Left to me, left to me
I need you
Like the flower needs the rain
You know, I need you
Guess I'll start it all again
You know, I need you
Like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you
I need you
And everyday
I'd laugh the hours away
Just knowing you were thinking of me
Then it came
That I was put to blame
For every story told about me
About me, about me
I need you
Like the flowers need the rain
You know, I need you
Guess I'll start it all again
You know, I need you
Like the winter needs the spring
You know, I need you
I need you, I need you
I don't wanna know what's going on
and I don't wanna know what's right or wrong
and I don't wanna know who's bed you're in
and I don't wanna know just where you've been.
Oh baby, you were never really good for me
just maybe, you're a stranger to reality
and baby, don't you know you haven't got a clue
'cos lately, I don't know what to do.
I don't wanna know what's going on
and I don't wanna know what's right or wrong
and I don't wanna know who's bed you're in
and I don't wanna know just where you've been.
Oh baby, you said you're changing for the better now
just maybe, you're not as strong as you thought somehow
and baby, you know you're heading down a one way track
and baby, I won't bring you back.
Well, you said you were looking for a better way
but you just keep coming back
to a place you can never seem to get away
that will always hold you back...
Oh baby, you said you'd rather be a daddy's girl,
but lately, you're try'n a fight against the whole wide world
just maybe, you've found a love that you can hold on to
and baby, I pray for you.
I don't wanna know what's going on
and I don't wanna know what's right or wrong
and I don't wanna know who's bed you're in
and I don't wanna know just where you've been...
If you could say to me that you'd undoubtedly be faithful to me,
then I would say to you that I'd undoubtedly be faithful to you.
After all this time
I am here to say that I would sign upon the dotted line.
Can't you read my mind
that's all I've ever wanted from you.
If we could share our lives, without the compromise
I'd be faithful to you
If we could gravitate, learn to communicate
I'd be so faithful to you.
After all this time (after all this time)
I am here to say that I would sign upon the dotted line.
Can't you read my mind
that's all I've ever wanted from you.
There's never been a day when I could say
that I was falling out of love with you (falling out of love).
And I would kiss the stars and hug the moon
for you to see that I'm in love with you.
How could you be so blind
After all this time (after all this time)
I am here to say that I would sign upon the dotted line.
Don't you feel it's time (don't you feel it's time)
we should settle down, caress the love we have and live as one.
Can't you read my mind
that's all I've ever wanted from you.
That's all I've ever wanted.
If you could say to me that you'd undoubtedly be faithful to me,
then I would say to you that I'd undoubtedly be faithful.
I have walked through the fire as an ordinary man
and if I die, I die in peace, part of all that God has planned,
'cos I believe in you and the best is yet to come,
you've been alone it's true, daddy's work is never done.
In my dreams, every night, I see the waves upon the sand
and you and I walk alone and there's a ring upon your hand.
Yes I believe in you and if my prayers are answered now,
I'm coming back , to you, I'm gonna find a way somehow.
I'm making my way, each morning I pray for you,
day after day,
I'll turn every stone, until I get home to you,
day after day.
Where you are is all there is, the only place I want to be
and love is war and war is cold, when you're so far across the sea.
still I'm alive, still in love, I hope this letter finds you well,
through the blood, through the flames, I can hear those wedding bells.
I'm making my way, each morning I pray for you,
day after day,
I'll turn every stone, until I get home to you,
day after day.
Darling you know the winds of peace are blowing,
(they say the answers written in the wind)
still I can hear the fallen angels singing,
(our love is stronger than the million miles that separate us)
I'm making my way, each morning I pray for you,
day after day,
I'll turn every stone, until I get home to you,
day after day....
Open your eyes to a miracle...
Open your eyes to a miracle...
I don't believe in something
I begin to fall
You said your love was something
I begin to fall
I go down again
I go down again below
Open your eyes to a miracle
See the writing on the wall
Open your eyes to a miracle
See the writing on the wall
Your love is something special
I've been lost again
Do not believe in nothing
Time and time again
We go down again
We go down again below
Open your eyes to a miracle
See the writing on the wall
Open your eyes to a miracle
See the writing on the wall
You never loved forever
I've been fooled again
You said we'd love forever
Tie me down again
We go down again
We go down again
Open your eyes to a miracle
See the writing on the wall
Open your eyes to a miracle
See the writing on the wall
Chorus (Fade)
Well you could be happy
Ah happy in my arms
Ah don't look distracted
I'll use my fatal charms
Well you could be happy
But only with me
If you come alive
You can spend your life with me
Well now you're in heaven
Well now you're in heaven
Well you could be lovin'
Ah lovin' in my arms
It's after you're happy
You need my lovin' charms
Well you could be lovin'
But only with me
just take hold of my hand
It's a trip in ecstasy
Well now you're in heaven
(Could be happy, could be lovin')
Well now you're in heaven
(You're in heaven, take hold of my hand)
Well now you're in heaven
You're in heaven with me
Well now that you've loved me
Been happy in my arms
You don't look distracted
You lust my subtle charms
Well what do you think now, baby
Do you like it with me
Tell me what you think
'Cause I wanna know
Yes, I wanna know
Well now you're in heaven
(Could be happy, could be lovin')
Well now you're in heaven
(You're in heaven, take hold of my hand)
Well now you're in heaven
You're in heaven with me
Repeat Chorus to fade
You said you'll come on over
And ah love me baby
You said you're gonna come and be mine
But if you're ever, ever gonna leave me baby
You know, I'm gonna have to pull in the line
I hope you're never ever gonna lie to me baby
'Cause if you do I'll certainly die
I wanna just love you and hold you baby
And live in harmony till we die
'Cause I love you baby
And I want you baby
I get up, I get down
But it's only when you're around
I get high, I get low
But it only goes to show
I'll never ever, ever never leave you baby
I'll never ever leave you behind
And if you're ever clever try and leave me baby
You know I'll never let you go
I find I found you feeling finer
Since the day you left the diner
And shared your life and love with me
Still I know I'll make you happy
If you let me be your Pappy
I'll love you till I know you're mine
'Cause I love you baby
And I want you baby
And I need you baby
'Cause I love you baby
I get up, I get down
But it's only when you're around
I get high, I get low
But it only goes to show
I get up, I get down
But it's only when you're around
I get high, I get low
But it only goes to show
You said you'll come on over
And Ah love me baby
You said you're gonna come and be mine
But if you're ever, ever gonna leave me baby
You know, I'm gonna have to pull in the line
I hope you're never ever gonna lie to me baby
'Cause if you do I'll certainly die
I wanna just love you and hold you baby
And live in harmony till we die
'Cause I love you baby
And I want you baby
I get up, I get down
But it's only when you're around
I get high, I get low
But it only goes to show
Chorus (Fade)
Have a nice day with your Stoli and Gillette
Break the chain awhile
Pretend that we just met
I've tried to help you, but you just don't understand
This love is really not the love that I had planned
Can't you give me what I give you day and night
Is life that hard that you have to let it go
She said that I'm in love with you
I said why can't this love be true
Can't you give back what I gave you
I want my life back, I want you
Please don't call me like you've always done before
As if I need to know am I your basic whore
Just don't tell me that your love is on the line
I'm sure the truth will tell, just give it some more time
I'm sick and tired of playing your little game
(If you tell me your side I will tell you mine)
I'd like to know if you can finally change
(If you tell me your side I will tell you mine)
Why don't you believe my story
I won't tell you lies
You know it's not my dream
And if I tell you lies
You'll only realize
This isn't working out, I can't go on like this
Can't you save her Lord 'cause I just seem to miss
There's only so much one can do to save a friend
I've given her my all, it's useless to the end
Please don't let her die, my mind just won't accept
She is not the kind of girl that's strong or has respect
She said that I'm in love with you
I said why can't this love be true
Can't you give back what I gave you
I want my life back, I want you
Cos I want you
Because of things remembered
nothing changes, we simply follow
Rhythms that are distant echoes
Ancestors turning in their sleep
Silhouetted on the future,
playful figures that cut across the winking eye
of God's projector
A partial eclipse of the original light
that eminates in all directions
so the darkness isn't pierced, but rather
forced to retreat
Pushed out by its own internal explosion
The screen of God's movie is time expanding
and every atom is a solid globular mirror
in which His grotesque anamorphic grin
splits the darkness!
(chorus)
Everywhere our world's expanding
Journeys through the soul
Past all thought and understanding
Science or control
Looking to the future
is looking at the past
in whichever direction you happen to face
You were forward, and I was slipping back
In the time it takes for the light of the stars to stir
the retina, rods and cones
History's in the beholder's eye
Fait accompli
Dans un outre androit
The further away we are, the farther back we see
Unless
we could gaze instantly across the sound
where, moored like ships, planets anchored
swing and sway
Golden barges laden down with mists and frozen crystals
dancing away!
(chorus)
Everywhere our world's expanding
Journeys through the soul
Past all thought and understanding
Science or control
Heaven help the soul that's severed
From the place where it belongs
caught up in the mindless struggle
Of the weak against the strong
Headlights along the border
Keep the peace, their law and order
Why can't we see it's all a record of lies
It's their kind of strength
It's their only defense
An imaginary line
Just a kid and his younger brother
Headed for the wire
Had no rights in the telescopic sights
Of the vigilante's rifle fire
And now he's buried on the border
Where the rivers are blood not water
Why can't we see it's all a record of lies
(Why can't we see)
It's their kind of truth
It can only be proved
With imaginary lines
In times like these concerning
Who decides which bridge is burning
Don't fall for-map reading
Just make sure that you're still breathing
After the lines were drawn, the children would
dream of the pearls and how beautiful they were.
Year after year they would dive to the bottom of
the lagoon hoping that the oysters would come
back. They risked everything-their homes, families
and meager possessions-to search for the pearls.
To make sure they were heavy enough to reach the
bottom, the children tied stones to their backs.
Many of them died, streams of blood and broken
bodies rose to the surface of the lagoon...and
the lagoon cried.
Why can't we see it's all a record of lies
(Why can't we see)
It's their kind of strength
Their only defense
An imaginary line
Why can't we see it's all a record of lies
(Why can't we see)
It's their kind of truth
It can only be proved
With imaginary lines
No money no pride
Stick your finger in your eye
It's all a joke, it's just a ride
Save it for another guy
Kick yourself in the head
Pretty soon you will be dead
Get yourself another job
Don't become another slob
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Why don't you get a life
Nothing is a guarantee
Don't hide your face, don't beg and plead
Being sorry for yourself
Put another record on
You're the answer, you're the cause
You're just another perfect flaw
I'm just as scared as you, you know
But trying all the same
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Why don't you get a life
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Cheap talk won't get you far
Slandering in whiskey bars
Face the facts, the truth's inside
If you want peace, don't try and hide
You don't have to worry
'Cause everything's alright
You don't have to worry
We've made it through the fight
You don't have to hurry
'Cause harmony's in sight
You don't have to worry
Just trying to feel alright
Hey
In the end we're all afflicted
In the end we're all addicted
In the end we're junkies too
Unless you have a point of view
Swallow pride, it swallows you
Take that stride, I'll guide you through
Who's gonna help us in the end
Not your brother, not your friend
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Why don't you get a life
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Fear is just a crying shame
Work it out or go insane
Think about the world instead
'Cause if you don't
We'll all be dead
You don't have to worry
'Cause everything's alright
You don't have to worry
We've made it through the fight
You don't have to worry
'Cause harmony's in sight
You don't have to worry
I'm trying to shake the plight
Well I've been dreaming of a change that would take place
Where all of God's creatures would love the human race
Hey, oh, oh, oh, why don't you get a life
Oh, oh, oh
Being wealthy isn't bad
Despising it is what's so sad
Make a move
You've got a choice
Do something useful
With your voice
You don't have to worry
Cause everything's alright
You don't have to worry
We've made it through the fight
You don't have to hurry
Cause harmony's in sight
You don't have to worry
Just trying to feel alright
We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children
Rolled into one
So when I hear about
The hole in the sky
Saltwater wells in my eyes
We climb the highest mountain
We'll make the desert bloom
We're so ingenious
We can walk on the moon
But when I hear of how
The forests have died
Saltwater wells in my eyes
I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying
(And now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend
(No friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by
Right before our eyes
We light the deepest ocean
Send photographs of Mars
We're so enchanted by
How clever we are
Why should one baby
Feel so hungry she cries
Saltwater wells in my eyes
I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying
(And now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend
(No friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by
Right before our eyes
We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children
Rolled into one
What will I think of me
The day that I die
Saltwater wells in my eyes
Do you believe that you the only one
Who feels the hurt and pain when life's undone
You've gotta believe there's truth in everyone
Cherish the love when all is said and done
We've just begun
Through the picture window
In the photograph
Remember love forgotten
It's invisible
Falling through the starlight
Slowly feeling sound
It's invisible
Know that love surrounds you
It's invisible
Do you believe that time's are gonna change
I wanna believe but life is kind of strange
Is there a realm that we don't know about
If it's all true then we should scream and shout
And let it out
Through the picture window
In the photograph
Remember love forgotten
It's invisible
Falling through the starlight
Slowly feeling sound
It's invisible
Know that love surrounds you
It's invisible
So you left me
Out in the sunlight
But I see you
Standing in the shadows
All these people
Looking the other way
All these people
Talking to no-one
Talking to no-one
Through the picture window
In the photograph
Remember love forgotten
It's invisible
Falling through the starlight
Slowly feeling sound
It's invisible
Know that love surrounds you
It's invisible
Through the picture window
In the photograph
Remember love forgotten
It's invisible
Falling through the starlight
Slowly feeling sound
It's invisible
Know that love surrounds you
Here we go again the lonely road
What do I feel but emptiness inside
So shall I give my heart to break again
Can it be real that I have lost a friend
What can I do to heal my heart again
What can I say to hold you once again
Hold On, for love
There is a side of you that I can see
That doesn't belong in life without you next to me
I know you'd like to feel that love again
Cherish the love you had until the end
What can I say to you
What can I say to bring you home again
I'm not the same I need you as a friend
Hold On, for love
Here we go again the lonely road
What do I feel but emptiness inside
So shall I give my heart to break again
Can it be real that I have lost a friend
What can I do to heal
What can I do to heal my heart again
What can I say to you
I can't believe our love is at an end
Hold On
Sitting on the doorstep of the house I can't afford
I can feel you there
Thinking of a reason, well, it's really not very hard
to love you even though you nearly lost my heart
How can I explain the meaning of our love
It fits so tight, closer than a glove
[ Chorus ]
Sitting on a pebble by the river playing guitar
Wonderin' if we're really ever gonna get that far
Do you know there's something wrong
'Cause I've felt it all along
I can see you face in the mirrors of my mind
Will you still be there
We're really not so clever as we seem to think we are
We've always got our troubles
So we'll solve them at the bar
The days go by, we seem to drift apart
If I could only find a way to keep hold of your heart
[ Repeat chorus ]
Sitting in the valley as I watch the sun go down
I can see you there
Thinking of a reason, well, it's really not very hard
to love you though you nearly lost my heart
When will we know when the change is gonna come
I've got a good feeling and it's coming from the sun
Sitting on a pebble by the river playing guitar
Wonderin' if we're really ever gonna get that far
Do you know there's something wrong
We'll stick together 'cause we're strong
(Written by Clayton/Morales/Lennon)
Hold your heart within your hands
Cope with what your life demands
But leave it all behind
Free yourself from all the lies
Free yourself from what's inside
But leave it all behind
Can't you see we're a part of destiny
We all want to touch the sky
We all ask the question
How do I survive will I be strong enough
We all need a helping hand
We all fall but then we stand
And show the strength I see in all of us
Every single day
Feel you hurt and feel your pain
We have lived a life of blame
But leave it all behind
Don't be frightened by your love
Always learn to rise above
But leave it all behind
Can't you see we're a part of destiny
We all want to touch the sky
We all ask the question
How do I survive will I be strong enough
We all need a helping hand
We all fall but then we stand
And show the strength I see in all of us
Every single day
Could there be a darker day
Love is lost as we decay
Beg for mercy as we pray forgiveness
Try to see the light ahead
Look around you all is dead
All of us have been misled
Forgive us now
We all want to touch the sky
We all ask the question
How do I survive will I be strong enough
We all need a helping hand
We all fall but then we stand
And show the strength I see in all of us
We all want to touch the sky
How do I survive will I be strong enough
