How can I say it? Where do I begin,
Everything you are is just what it says on the tin
Words that were honest, spoken from the heart,
Everything you did was just what you said from the start.
You are the angel with whom I would gladly live in sin,
Thanks for being exactly what it says on the tin.
I never doubted, and though I never shouted from the roof,
All about it, I'm with you every day as living proof.
Ain't gonna lose now, such a lot to win,
'Cos I will always know you're just what it says on the tin.

Some call it faith, some call it love
Some call it guidance from above
You are the reason we found ours
So thank you stars
Some people think it's far away
Some know it's with them everyday
You are the reason we found ours
So thank you stars
There are no winds that can blow it away on the air
When they try to blow it away 's when you know it will always be there
To some it's the strength to be apart
To some it's a feeling in the heart
And when you're out there on your own it's the way back home
There are no winds that can blow it away on the air
When they try to blow it away 's when you know it will always be there
Some call it faith some call it love
Some call it guidance from above
You are the reason we found ours
So thank you stars

Hush now, Honey, here's the word
My Baby's gonna buy me a mockingbird
and If that mockingbird won't sing
Baby's gonna buy me a diamond ring
If that diamond ring won't shine
We'll still have a real good time,
So I'm sitting right here
Woah, woah.
To this man that I have found
I'm gonna sing the sweetest sound
And if that sweetest sound won't rock
I'm gonna buy him a music box
And if that music box don't play
he's gonna stay with me anyway
So I'm making it clear
Woah, woah
When that man and I are wed
I'm gonna keep him warm in bed
And when my man's no longer hot
I'm gonna bring him a vodka shot
And when that spirit's made him strong
I'm gonna stay with him all night long
I'll be holding on tightly
Woah, woah
Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles to chase love away
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today
Lonely, lonely
Tin can at my feet
Think I'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend
Bright before me the signs implore me
To help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
If you're a cowboy I would trail you,
If you're a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor.
If you're a sailboat I would sail you to the shore.
If you're a river I would swim you,
If you're a house I would live in you all my days.
If you're a preacher I'd begin to change my ways.
Sometimes I believe in fate,
But the chances we create,
Always seem to ring more true.
You took a chance on loving me,
I took a chance on loving you.
If I was in jail I know you'd spring me
If I was a telephone you'd ring me all day long
If was in pain I know you'd sing me soothing songs.
Sometimes I believe in fate,
But the chances we create,
Always seem to ring more true.
You took a chance on loving me,
I took a chance on loving you.
If I was hungry you would feed me
If I was in darkness you would lead me to the light
If I was a book I know you'd read me every night
If you're a cowboy I would trail you,
If you're a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor.
If you're a sailboat I would sail you to the shore.
If you're a sailboat I would sail you to the shore
They say the world must end somehow,
They say the end's not far from now;
I think they're wrong,
Don't worry your life away,
Start living for today,
Don't think about tomorrow.
And if the lights go out on all of us,
In just a year or two.
And if the sky falls down like pouring rain,
Then I'll be here with you.
I'll go down with you.
Well I'm gonna try for all I'm worth,
To stay with you till the end of the earth.
Don't let me down,
Don't let your feelings win.
Don't give out, and don't give in,
Don't think about tomorrow.
Cause if the lights go out on all of us,
In just a year or two.
And if the sky falls down like pouring rain,
Then I'll be here with you.
I'll go down with you.
And if the lights go out on all of us,
In just a year or two.
And if the sky falls down like pouring rain,
Then I'll be here with you.
I'll go down with you.
I'll go down with you
The tables are empty - the dance floor's deserted
You play the same love song - it's the tenth time you've heard it
That's the beginning - just one of the clues
You've had your first lesson - in learnin' the blues
The cigarettes you light - one after the other
Won't help you forget him - when you're losing your lover
You're only burning - a torch you can't lose
But you're on the right track - for learnin' the blues
When you're out in a crowd, the blues will taunt you - constantly
When you're out in a crowd, the blues will haunt your memory
The nights when you don't sleep - the whole night you're crying
But you cannot forget him - soon you even stop trying
You'll walk the floor - and wear out your shoes
The first time that i saw you
I said "for goodness sake
That man's got the power
He's a charmer with a snake"
I was thrille and fascinated
But somehow liberated
When you took me to a place i'd never been.
You showed me lots of things i'd never seen
You set me free
As if you'd taken me
Halfway up the hindu kush
And i love you
For showing me the view
From halfway up the hindu kush
The next time that i saw you, you looked into my eyes
I was sitting on your carpet when i felt it begin to rise
I kinda got the feeling
I was floating to the ceiling
Instead of looking at the sky
You picked me up and showed me how to fly
You set me free, as if you'd taken me
Halfway up the hindu kush
And i love you
For showing me the view
From halfway up the hindu kush
From halfway up the hindu
From halfway up the hindu
From halfway up the hindu kush
You set me free, as if you'd taken me
Halfway up the hindu kush
And i love you
For showing me the view
From halfway up the hindu kush
I've got a ticket to the fast city,
where the bells don't really ring,
getting off the plane the cold air
rushes like bullets through my brain.
And I'm divided between penguins and cats,
but its not about what animal you've got,
its about being able to fly
its about dying nine times.
Walked on broadway, going up to falls,
where the old man I used to know,
the paintings on the walls of release
are colourful but they are no matisse.
And I'm divided between penguins and cats,
but its not about what animal you've got,
its about being able to fly
its about dying nine times.
I put a spell on you
Beause you're mine
You better stop the things you do
I ain't lyin'
No i ain't lyin'
You know i can't stand it
You're fooling around
I can't stand it
You are breaking me down
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
You're mine
You know i can't standing it
You're fooling around
I can't standing it
You are breaking me down (down down)
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
You hear me
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
You better stop the things you do
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by.
Sometimes I wonder, how I spend
The lonely nights
Dreaming of a song
The melody
Haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
Besides the garden wall, when stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale
Tells his fairytale
Of paradise, where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
You're beautiful so silently
It lies beneath a shade of blue
It struck me so violently
When I looked at you
But others pass, they never pause
To feel that magic in your hand
To me you're like a wild rose
They never understand why
I cried for you when the sky cried for you
And when you went I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper
I'll cross the sea
For a different world
With your treasure
A secret for me to hold
In many years they may forget
This love of ours or that we met
They may not know
How much you meant to me
I cried for you and the sky cried for you
And when you went I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper
Without you now I see
How fragile the world can be
And I know you've gone away
But in my heart you'll always stay
I cried for you and the sky cried for you
And when you went I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you though I learned from you
You are the tiger burning bright
Deep in the forest of my night
You are the one who keeps me strong in this world
You sleep by the silent cooling streams
Down in the darkness of my dreams
All of my life I never knew
You were the dream I'd see come true
You are the tiger burning bright
I was the one who looked so hard I could not see.
Now I could never live without the love you give to me.
I lived like a wild and lonely soul,
Lost in a dream beyond control.
You were the one who brought me home down to earth.
For you are the tiger burning bright
Deep in the forest of my night
All of my life I never knew
You were the dream I'd see come true
Dancing cat and dancing mouse,
Down behind the Hyatt House
You don't need no food to eat,
All you need is two bare feet
Clock-house cuckoos drinking wine
Racing through those traffic signs
But walking out on Lazy Street
All you need is two bare feet
Two, two, two bare feet
Two, two, two bare feet
Crocodiles of sun-soaked kids
In sexy sandals, heaven forbid.
For kisses good enough to eat
All you need is two bare feet
Two, two, two bare feet
Two, two, two bare feet
INSTRUMENTAL
Two, two, two bare feet
Two, two, two bare feet
Dancing cat and dancing mouse,
Down behind the Hyatt House
You don't need no food to eat,
All you need is two bare feet
Two, two, two bare feet
Two, two, two bare feet
Crazy cat and crazy mouse
Down behind the Hyatt House!
Two, two, two bare feet
Two, two, two bare feet
Two, two, two bare feet
Ooh baby I’m twisted
Ooh baby I’m twisted
I shouldn’t keep dreaming of you
It’s something I swore I wouldn’t do
My friends say don’t go there
It’s a road to nowhere
But you got through
And I can’t undo
This thing I feel for you,
Ooh I’m twisted, just twisted
Entranced by the dance that you do
I’m twisted, so twisted
I wanna twist and turn with you
Ooh baby I’m twisted
Ooh baby I’m twisted
Out on the street, I meet you again
This beast inside is counting to ten
We’re all alone
We’re near my home
And we go in
Like a mortal sin
Don’t wanna live if I can’t touch your skin
Ooh I’m twisted, just twisted
Entranced by the dance that you do
I’m twisted, so twisted
I wanna twist and turn with you
I'm twisted, just twisted
I wanna twist the night away with you
Ooh baby I’m twisted
Ooh baby I’m twisted
Ooh baby I’m twisted
Ooh baby I’m twisted
Like the roots of a tree
(Ooh baby I’m twisted)
You got into me
(Ooh baby I’m twisted)
Like the roots of a tree
(Ooh baby I’m twisted)
You got into me
(Ooh baby I’m twisted)
Baby I’m twisted
(Ooh baby I’m twisted)
Baby I’m twisted
I turn to tell him things
I still make tea for two
I keep the kitchen clean
The way he’d want me to
Start again, but I’m not ready to move on
‘Cos I still turn to tell him, I love him
But he's gone
I miss the mess he made
Of my head when we fought
Over such silly things
I wish we could have talked
A little more, spoke instead of screamed
‘Cos when I turn to tell him, I love him
He’s just a dream
I lost the second chance
When fate led time away
I keep his picture close
So his memory won’t fade
Alive in me, forever with my soul
So when I turn to tell him, I love him
Who are you my tiny alien
Why do you love to hide
Who are you my tiny alien
What can you see inside
I won’t make a sound
I won’t shoot you down
With my science, and reliance on everything I thought I
knew
When you’re not of this earth
You won’t know what you’re worth
You’ve just got to take the pressure together
Or you’ll never survive in this world
Tiny alien
Who are you my tiny alien
What are you here to do
Who are you my tiny alien
How can I talk to you
What’s my DNA
Can you make it change
So I can gain new insight and take flight
And never feel any pain
When you’re not of this earth
You won’t know what you’re worth
You’ve just got to take the pressure together
Or you’ll never survive in this world
Just how far can you fall
When you still feel so small
Will you love me through the sorrows tomorrows
Whatever the future will bring
Tiny alien
Who are you my tiny alien
We are just skin and bones
Who are you my tiny alien
Why are we so alone
When you’re not of this earth
You won’t know what you’re worth
You’ve just got to take the pressure together
Or you’ll never survive in this world
Just how far can you fall
When you still feel so small
Will you love me through the sorrows tomorrows
Whatever the future will bring
Tiny alien
Who are you my tiny alien
Who are you my tiny alien
Who are you my tiny alien
This years love had better last
Heaven knows it's high time
And I've been waiting on my own too long
But when you hold me like you do
It feels so right
I start to forget
How my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feeling like you can't go on
Turning circles when time again
It cuts like a knife oh yeah
If you love me got to know for sure
Cos it takes something more this time
Than sweet sweet lies
Before I open up my arms and fall
Losing all control
Every dream inside my soul
And when you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet
This years love had better last
This years love had better last
So whose to worry
If our hearts get torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Don't you know this life goes on
And won't you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet
This years love had better last
This years love had better last
This years love had better last
I don't know, I don't know
Where I'll go or what I'll do
It makes no difference what I do without you
Oh I love you my darling
But I'll have to let you leave
Goodbye it's the last you'll hear of me
Well I found the bluebird
High on a mountainside
And the little bird would sing its little song
So I'll sigh, I'll cry
I'll even wanna die
For the one I love is gone.
Well I found the bluebird
High on a mountainside
And the little bird would sing its little song
So I'll sigh, I'll cry
I'll even wanna die
For the one I love is gone.
I'll sigh, I'll cry
I'll even wanna die
Who is in that house?
I opened the door to see
Who is up the stairs?
I’m walking up foolishly
And at the end of the hall was a door
And I got pulled in by a sound
But I wish I’d never found
In the privacy of your own room
Where flowers in the wallpaper bloom
Where I just don’t understand
In the privacy of your room
Look away now, look away now
At the moon
Is somebody watching me?
You really shouldn’t see
Why did you climb that last stair
You found me unaware
What I’m doing now it’s my own
And I don’t want it to be known
And it has to just remain
In the privacy of my own room
Where flowers in the wallpaper bloom
Where you just don’t understand
In the privacy of my room
Look away now, look away now
At the moon
Puzzle me now with mystery clothes
These apples I love, these apples I loath
And always forgive the future to come
broken people get recycled,
And i hope that i will,
sometimes we're thrown off our pathways,
what i thought was my way home,
wasn't the place i know,
i'm not afraid of changing,
certain? nothings certain,
What we own becomes our prison,
my possessions will be gone,
back to where they came from.
BLAAAAME, no one is to BLAAAME,
as natural as the rain that falls,
here comes the flood again.
See the rock that you hold on too,
is it gonna save you?
when the earth begins to crumble,
why do you feel you have to hoooold on?
Imagine if you let go.
BLAAAAME, no one is to BLAAAME,
as natural as the rain that falls,
here comes the flood again.
**speeds up**
(waaaaash away, the weight, that pulls you down.)
(Riiiiide the waaves, the waves that free you from your doubt)
(don't trust your mind, it's not always listening...
Turn on the lights, and feel the ancient rythym)
Don't trust your eyes, its easy to believe them...
(BLAAAAME, no one is to BLAAAME,
as natural as the rain that falls,
here comes the flood again.)
Know in your heart, that you can ease your prison.
**Slows down**
BLAAAAME, no one is to BLAAAME,
as natural as the rain that falls,
here comes the flood again.
Everybody told me to walk away
Though you made me feel good
I was just a fool didn't hear them say
Love is like a wild wood
Something in the way I was lost and found
Something made it feel right
Spirited away by a haunting sound
Calling in the deep night
They told me not to listen to the cry of the lone wolf
Next time I won't listen to the cry of the lone wolf
Following the smoke of your glowing fire
Shining through the twilight
Then you slipped away as the flames grew higher
Back into the deep night
They told me not to listen to the cry of the lone wolf
Next time I won't listen to the cry of the lone wolf
Chorus:
The bit that I don't get
It's how it changed so fast
How it changed from we will always be together
To it will never last.
The writing on the wall
I hadn't seen it yet
When you told me you were tired of it all
That's the bit that I don't get.
So call me a foll
I do!
But no longer the fool beside you
And I'm learning from the pain
Won't be doing that again!
Chorus:
The bit that I don't get
It's how it changed so fast
How it changed from we will always be together
To it will never last.
The writing on the wall
I hadn't seen it yet
When you told me you were tired of it all
That's the bit that I don't get!
People break up everyday
But I never thought
I would wake up to hear you say
Forever now means never!
Chorus:
The bit that I don't get
It's how it changed so fast
How it changed from we will always be together
To it will never last.
The writing on the wall
I hadn't seen it yet
When you told me you were tired of it all
Today has been a special day
An anniversary, a request
That you play your piano
As the evening sun slowly sets
I never knew i'd get this old dear
Never had a reason to live so long
And the lord's been like my shadow
Ever since i was wrong
No i never knew it would turn out this way
A birthday with apologies
For all the tears and the rest
And i've always saved your poetry
For those years when you forget
I never knew i'd get this old dear
Never had a reason to live so long
And the lord's been like my shadow
Ever since i was wrong
No i never knew it would turn out this way
So sing to me softly
As the day turns to night
And as i wander in paradise with you
Some call it faith, some call it love.
Some call it guidance from above.
You are the reason we found ours,
So thank you stars.
Some people think it's far away,
Some know it's with them everyday.
You are the reason we found ours,
So thank you stars.
There are no winds that can blow it away on the air,
When they try to blow it away 's when you know it will always be there.
To some it's the strength to be apart,
To some it's a feeling in the heart.
And when you're out there on your own, it's the way back home.
There are no winds that can blow it away on the air,
When they try to blow it away 's when you know it will always be there.
Some call it faith, some call it love.
Some call it guidance from above.
You are the reason we found ours,
So thank you stars.
Thank you stars,
Thank you stars,
If they made a movie bout you and me
It would go straight to DVD
Though the music’s good, but the acting’s not
There ain’t no dialogue and there ain’t no plot
If they made a film about me and you
It would never get a good review
You act so smooth in the steamy scenes
But there ain’t no fire you don’t know what it means
The movie of you and me would go straight to DVD
The story of you and me would go straight to DVD
Would it be a movie bout love or war
We don’t even know what we’re fighting for
It was sometimes good and sometimes great
But mostly now it’s like a boring date
The movie of you and me would go straight to DVD
The story of you and me would go straight to DVD
Now there are no surprises the temperature rarely rises
Maybe we’re just pretending there’ll be a happy ending
If they made a movie bout you and me
It would go straight to DVD
Though the music’s good but the acting’s not
There ain’t no dialogue and there ain’t no plot
The movie of you and me would go straight to DVD
If a black man is racist, is it okay?
When it's the white man's racism that made him that way,
Because the bully's the victim they say,
By some sense they're all the same.
Because the line between,
Wrong and right,
Is the width of a thread,
From a spider's web.
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind.
I could tell you to go to war,
Or I could march for peace and fighting no more,
How do I know which is right,
And I hope he does when he sends you to fight.
Because the line between wrong and right,
Is the width of a thread from a spider's web,
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind.
Should we act on a blame?
Or should we chase the moments away?
Should we live?
Should we give?
Remember forever the guns and the feathers in time.
Because the line between wrong and right,
Is the width of a thread from a spider's web,
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind.
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind,
I heard that lately
Gone through a mysterious change
People say you?re secretive
And you?ve been acting strange
They say there?s magic afoot
Stay away, they all warn
But to me you were magical
From the day that you were born
I have become spellbound, spellbound
You?ve lifted me up high
You know I don?t know how to get down
No, I don?t know how to get down
You?re very different
You are so rare
Some kind of witchcraft
Is flying through the air
I?ll admit I can?t explain
Why I feel how I do
So you must have cast a spell
That?s why my life feels new
I have become spellbound, spellbound
You?ve lifted me up high
You know I don?t know how to get down
No, I don?t know how to get down
I have become spellbound, spellbound
You?ve lifted me up high
You know I don?t know how to get down
No, I don?t know how to get down
No, I don?t know how to get down
Somewhere in the same hotel,
Was it in the bar?
I saw you once, but I don’t know who you are.
I don’t usually obsess, but I confess,
I wish I knew you well.
All I know is, here I am and there you are, somewhere
in the same hotel.
Somewhere in the same hotel,
Yesterday we passed again,
And I thought you looked my way.
I don’t want for this to be a fantasy,
But as far as I can tell,
You’re alone just like me, here at night, somewhere in
the same hotel.
Maybe you’re in the next room?
Or just across the hall?
Maybe somebody’s waiting,
At home for you to call?
I’m yearning in the morning light,
Of the dawning day,
Cos we missed our chance,
And I have to go away.
I don’t even know your name
But all the same,
I hope you’re sleeping well,
If you’re still there all alone,
Cos I’m no longer,
All the friends I believed in
I believed in for a while
They had their flair
They had their style
But nobody quite got it right
Nobody knew just how it feels to be me
But sometimes when I'm dreaming
And I dream a lot these days
I meet someone who understands
Who leads me through the haze
It's only when I'm dreaming
That I fall in love for real
But I wake up screaming
Sometimes when I'm dreaming
And it's now
That I need a friend
I reach out for the phone
Nobody's there Nobody's home
Though it may not be right to give up the fight
I'm sailing away
Now I'm on my own
Alone
But sometimes when I'm dreaming
And I dream a lot these days
I meet someone who understands
Who leads me through the haze
It's only when I'm dreaming that I fall in love for
real
But I wake up screaming
Sometimes when I'm dreaming
But I wake up screaming
I'm sittin' in the window of a street cafe
Watchin' you walking by each day,
It seems that you always wanna look my way
Hey, you can't deny, boy,
You're such a shy boy.
So good looking you seem to be
But you're too tongue-tied to say hi to me,
You could make it happen so easily
Woah, I'll tell you why boy,
'Cos I'm looking for a shy boy
Most guys advertise
By making eyes and telling lies
If you only knew,
You could make your dreams come true
All you gotta do is ask me to
If this was a quiz on a TV show
And the prize was a guy who would love me so
Whatever they ask, the answer I know
Hey, my reply boy
Is gimme a shy boy.
Most guys advertise
By making eyes and telling lies
If you only knew
You could make your dreams come true
All you gotta do is ask me to
Some guys act a bit too sure
And maybe you're thinkin' that less is more
But Honey, you still gotta knock on my door
Hey, just try boy,
And you could be my boy
I'll tell you why boy
I'm looking for a shy boy,

Mary at home, as always, was ironing a pale shirt of a ghost
Trying to straighten out every crease of his being and the emptiness where she was lost
Ten minutes before she had her man drying in the summer's breeze
Their love had been helped by a little red peg but it was just a moment seized
'Cause he flew away
On a memory where most
People fade away
But now she's left with the shirt of a ghost
Yeah she's left with the shirt of a ghost
Ten minutes before he ran away to a stranger's hands and feet
And as it turned she saw them play among the soap, water and heat.
'Cause he flew away
On a memory where most
Lovers just fade away
And she's left with the shirt of a ghost
Yeah she's left with the shirt of a ghost
Ten minutes before the shirt was stained in anger and greed
And it smelled of revenge from a broken heart and the shirt his body no longer did need
'Cause he flew away
On a memory where most
Bodies just fade away
But she's left with the shirt of a ghost
Yeah she's left with the shirt of a ghost
'Cause he flew away
On a memory where most
Lovers just fade away
But she's left with the shirt of a ghost
Yeah she's left with the shirt of a ghost
Scary films don?t scare me
Now that you?re around
Since you've been around
Nowadays I never cry
When the monster kills the guy
And the psychopathic wife
Kills the husband with a knife
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams
Of all those horror scenes
Which crept in uninvited
I?m in love and I?m so excited
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams
Scary films just make me smile
When you are here
When you are here
In your arms I?m not afraid
When the aliens invade
And the vampire?s just a joke
?Cause I know he?s just a bloke
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams
Of all those horror scenes
Which crept in uninvited
I?m in love and I?m so excited
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams
Zombies marching through the mist
Make me think of being kissed
And I don?t care when peoples? heads
End up being torn to shreds
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams
Of all those horror scenes
Which crept in uninvited
I?m in love and I?m so excited
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams
I put my heart in a red balloon
But I let it go to soon
Let it go on the boulevard
Where wicked winds blow so hard
Maybe had I looked up I would have seen that
The sky is full of red balloons
Red balloons are full of broken hearts
Broken hearts are floating by a chance
Will they burst or drift
Into arms
Will they burst or drift
Into arms
I put my voice in a red balloon
For you it sang too many tunes
Haunted by those melodies
I let it go with the breeze
Maybe had I looked up I would have seen that
The sky is full of red balloons
Red balloons are full of broken hearts
Broken hearts are floating by a chance
Will they burst or drift
Into arms
Will they burst or drift
Into arms
I put my eyes in a red balloon
To watch you with the light of the moon,
But seeing you holding hands
With another girl and making plans
Well I just had to set you free
And finally see, that
The sky is full of red balloons
Red balloons are full of broken hearts
Broken hearts are floating by a chance
Will they burst or drift
Into arms,
Will they burst or drift
My father is a doctor
He never told me
About this problem
That I’ve got
I’ve never had it
it feels awful
it must be something that I caught
I can’t breath, I can’t eat
I hallucinate in my sleep
I get a fever whenever you’re near
Oh God it’s suddenly clear
Ooh struck down by the plague of love
Sweet poison running through my blood
And I can’t bear not knowing if you even care.
My mother is nurse
She can’t help me
Though she spent her life
In the service of others
I told her ‘bout my pain
But she was busy
Downstairs serving dinner for my brother
Now I can’t get out of bed
I’ve got this crazy notion in my head
I hear a ghost in my bedroom lurking
Is it me or is the medicine working?
Ooh struck down by the plague of love
Sweet poison running through my blood
And I can’t bear not knowing if you even care
Ooh struck down by the plague of love
Sweet poison running through my blood
And I can’t bear not knowing if you even care.
Maybe nothing can save me
So come a little closer
I've got a secret just for you
Ooh struck down by the plague of love
Sweet poison running through my blood
And I can’t bear not knowing if you even care
Ooh struck down by the plague of love
Struck down by the plague of love
First of all must go
Your scent upon my pillow
And then I'll say goodbye
to your whispers in my dreams.
And then our lips will part
In my mind and in my heart,
Cos your kiss
Went deeper than my skin.
Piece by piece
is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss
Will leave my mind one at a time
One at a time
First of all must fly,
My dreams of you and I,
There's no point of holding on to those
And then our ties will break,
For your and my own sake,
Just remember,
This is what you chose
Piece by piece
Is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss,
will leave my mind one at a time
One at a time
I'll shed like skin,
Our memories of lazy days,
And fade away the shadow of your face
Piece by piece
Is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss,
Will leave my mind one at a time
One at a time
One at a time
I open up one eye and I can see
A million T.V. screens from wall to wall
And as I look again it seems to me
My picture is projected on them all.
From far away I see my body now
I can follow every movement that I make
But I can’t remember where I am or how,
Or wether I am dreaming or awake.
Refrain:
Sooner or later, I’ll believe the world’s not round,
I’ll turn up the vision, turn up the sound.
For I have discovered that I’m not what I seem,
I’m only a picture on a video screen.
And sooner or later, when the night comes rolling down,
Fear and confusion are all around;
I know that the problems
And the nightmares that I dream
Are only pictures on a video screen.
And as I rise to get myself another drink,
It seems like I’m some distance from my brain.
I’m looking down and I begin to think
This must be what it’s like to go insane.
[Refrain] And sooner or later, ...
Sooner or later, I’ll believe the world’s not round,
I’ll turn up the vision, turn up the sound.
For I have discovered that I’m not what I seem,
A mask is easily placed
On a betrayed and broken face
A disguise to hide the past
When you mapped out my skin and made the memories last
Some things are never erased
And I have run when I?ve been chased
By recollections of you and me
Falling off our homemade castle
And even when I?m walking straight
I always end up in a perfect circle
Oh, I try but I just can?t wait
To break out of this perfect circle
?Cause giving into old temptation
Is like that common twitch
Oh, the silly, stupid realization
The more you scratch the more you itch
Why am I fighting? What?s it for?
Must let my mask drop to the floor
My scars I shouldn?t hide
From the people who are on my side
Rolling up my sleeves to fight against
All the things I locked up, all the things I fenced
But it?s time to let it out
So we can build a brand new castle
And even when I?m walking straight
I always end up in a perfect circle
Oh, I try but I just can?t wait
To break out of this perfect circle
?Cause giving into old temptation
Is like that common twitch
Oh, the silly, stupid realization
The more you scratch the more you itch
And even when I?m walking straight
I always end up in a perfect circle
Oh, I try but I just can?t wait
To break out of this perfect circle
?Cause giving into old temptation
Is like that common twitch
Oh, the silly, stupid realization
The more you scratch the more you itch
The more you scratch the more you itch
Well I'm so tired of cryin' but I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again.
Well I'm so tired of cryin' but I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again.
I ain't got no woman just to call my special friend.
And I'm going to leave the city, got to go away.
I'm going to leave the city, got to go away.
All this fussing and fighting, man I sure can't stay.
You know the first time I travelled out in the rain and snow
in the rain and snow.
You know the first time I travelled out in the rain and snow
in the rain and snow.
I didn't have no fellow, not even no place to go.
And my dear mother left me when I was quite young
when I was quite young.
And my dear mother left me when I was quite young
when I was quite young.
She said Lord have mercy on my wicked son.
Take a hint from me mama please don't you cry no more
don't you cry no more.
Take a hint from me mama please don't you cry no more
don't you cry no more.
Cause it's soon one morning down the road I'm gone.
But I ain't going down that long and lonesome road
all by myself.
But I ain't going down that long and lonesome road
all by myself.
I never walked near the edge
Used to fear falling
I never swam far from shore
Never tried the secret door
But when you give me love
When you give me love
I have no fear of heights,
No fear of the deep blue sea,
Although it could drown me,
I know it could drown me
I didn’t wander in the woods
Used to fear the darkness
I didn’t like getting deep
I was scared of what I couldn’t keep
But when you give me love
When you give me love
I have no fear of heights,
No fear of the deep blue sea,
Although it could drown me,
I know it could drown me
No fear of the fall
No fear if it's with you that I fall
‘cause nothing could break us,
There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact,
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die.
We are twelve billion light years from the edge,
That's a guess,
No-one can ever say it's true
But I know that I will always be with you.
I'm warmed by the fire of your love everyday
So don't call me a liar,
Just believe everything that I say
There are six BILLION people in the world
More or less
and it makes me feel quite small
But you're the one I love the most of all
We're high on the wire
With the world in our sight
And I'll never tire,
Of the love that you give me every night
There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a Fact,
it's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die
And there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
Moon river
Wider than a mile
I'm crossing you
In style some day
Oh, dream maker
You heart breaker
Wherever you're goin'
I'm goin' your way
Two drifters
Off to see the world
There's such
A lot of world to see
We're after
The same rainbow's end
Waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon river
And me
Moon river
Wider than a mile
I'm crossin' you
In style some day
Oh, dream maker
You heart breaker
Wherever you're goin'
I'm goin' your way
Two drifters
Off to see the world
There's such
A lot of world to see
We're after
That same rainbow's end
Waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon river
Hush now, Honey, here's the word
My Baby's gonna buy me a mockingbird
If that mockingbird don't sing
Baby's gonna buy me a diamond ring
If that diamond ring don't shine
We'll still have a real good time,
So I'm making it clear
Woah, woah.
To this man that I have found
I'm gonna sing the sweetest sound
And if that sweetest sound don't rock
I'm gonna buy him a music box
And if that music box don't play
I'm gonna stay with him anyway
So I'm making it clear
Woah, woah
When that man and I are wed
I'm gonna keep him warm in bed
And when my man's no longer hot
I'm gonna bring him a vodka shot
And when that spirit's made him strong
I'm gonna stay with him all night long
I'll be holding on tightly
I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see
and be what I want to be
When I think more than I want to think
Do things I never should do
I drink much more than I ought to drink
Because I brings me back you...
Lilac wine is sweet and heady,
like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady,
like my love
Listen to me...
I cannot see clearly
Isn't that he coming to me nearly here?
Lilac wine is sweet and heady
where's my love?
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady,
where's my love?
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
Isn't that he, or am I just going crazy, dear?
Lilac Wine, I feel unready
Time keeps movin' on,
Friends they turn away, no no no
But I keep on movin' on
But I never found out why
I keep pushing so hard the dream,
I keep tryin' to make it right
Through another lonely day.
Dawn has come at last,
Twenty-five years, honey just in one night, oh yeah.
Well, I'm twenty-five years older now
And I know it can't be right
So you'd better take it,
No, oh, no... I guess no
Ohhhh... just a girl.
Don't make no difference, baby,
And I know that I could always try.
There's a fire inside of everyone of us,
I better hold it now,
I better need it, yeah,
I'm gonna use it till the day that I die.
Don't expect any answers, dear,
For I know that they don't come with age, no, no, no.
Well, I ain't never gonna love you any better, baby.
And I'm never never gonna love you right,
So you'd better take it right now, take it right now.
Oh! Don't make no difference, baby,
And I know you could always try.
There's a fire inside of everyone of us,
I better hold it now,
I better need it, yeah,
I'm gonna use it till the day that I die.
Don't make no difference, baby,
And it never ever ever will, will,
I'm gonna need a little bit of loving, baby,
I better hold it now,
I better need it, yeah,
I'm gonna use it till the day that I die.
Don't make no difference, babe,
And it never ever ever will, will,
I'm gonna need a little bit of loving, baby,
I better hold it now,
I better need it, yeah,
Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream he said
The one that makes me laugh he said
And threw his arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed his face and kissed his head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make him glow
Why are you so far away? he said
Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you
You, soft and only
You,lost and lonely
You, strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe his name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only boy I loved
And drowned him deep inside of me
You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, just like heaven
You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
Then you left, didn’t even leave a note
Saved yourself, didn’t spare my pain,
Now I know how it feels to hit the wall,
I’ll never fall again;
And the junk mail still comes for you,
And reminds me of a life I need to forget.
The junk mail still comes for you,
And reminds me of a life I need to forget.
Gazing down on the busy street below,
From my room where the walls are grey;
Don’t know how I will ever get myself
Through another day.
And the junk mail still comes for you,
And reminds me of a life I need to forget.
And the junk mail still comes for you,
And reminds me of a life I need to forget.
I poured some wine,
And I poured a glass for you,
I should know that I just need one.
And last night I lit two cigarettes,
Forgetting that you’d gone.
And the junk mail still comes for you,
And reminds me of a life I need to forget.
And the junk mail still comes for you,
We tried to change the world quite rightly
Maybe we changed it ever so slightly
I don’t know
Baby did we
Now I’ve forgotten how to kiss you
But I know that in the night I still miss you
And all the love we had
When I was Joan of Arc
And you were Jack the Lad
Though we put on airs and graces
We were kids with dirty faces on the road
Hidden somewhere
Being poor but feeling richer
And the earth stood still as I took a picture
Of all the love we had
When I was Joan of Arc
And you were Jack the Lad
And like all the things we knew it wouldn’t last
By my mind is holding memories
cause we spend the time too fast
Then the feeling kind of shifty
And in time we both just drifting different ways,
different stories
Different roads we both had wandered
But I know I’ll never say
That we spand it
All the love we had
When I was Joan of Arc
And you were Jack the Lad
When I was Joan of Arc
Sunday, and mum was cleaning up jack's room
I could call it, the beginning of this household's doom
After knowing her son for 18 years, she did not expect
to find these items here.
In jack's room, behind the cupboard, she finds pretty
stockings & dresses & heels.
In jack's room, behind the cupboard she finds pretty
dresses & heels.
Down the stairs in a confused state of mind.
Mother tells dad, our son has something to hide
As he follows her back up to jack's room
Really not knowing what to presume.
In jack's room behind the cupboard
They find pretty stockings & dresses & heels
In jack's room behind the cupboard, they find pretty
dresses & heels.
And now jack is walking home
Thinks there is nothing wrong
He even stops to buy some flowers
For his dearest folks, cause they're such a joke
They want to clean his room for hours
And now jack's in a confused state of mind
Mother asks him, he doesn't know how to reply
Then dad suddenly, goes bright red
And says, ive got something to confess
In jack's room behind the cupboard
They're my pretty stockings & dresses & heels
In jack's room, behind the cupboard
They're my pretty dresses & heels.
In jack's room, behind the cupboard
They're my pretty stockings & dresses & heels
In jack's room, behind the cupboard
Every night we fall into bed
But it's all in my head
Every night we fall in a heap
And you kiss me to sleep
And baby, all the sleepy things you say
Blow me away 'til the next day
When I find what we did and we said
Was all in my head
Every night you whisper to me
This always will be
Every night you smooth down my hair
But you're not really there
And darling, it seems as if we know
Our love will grow, then the next day
I find what we did and we said
It was all in my head
Drowsy, drinking, I keep thinking
We're not far apart
Scared of waking, lonely, aching
Just me and my hopeless heart
Sleeping soundly, your arms 'round me
Through the night we cruise
Then I found it's in my mind
That you stroke away my blues
Every night we fall into bed
But it's all in my head
Every night we fall in a heap
And you kiss me to sleep
And baby, all the sleepy things you say
Blow me away 'til the next day
When I find what we did and we said
It was all in my head
It was all in my head
If you were a cowboy I would trail you
If you were a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor
If you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore
If you were a river I would swim you
If you were a house I would live in you all my days
If you a preacher I'd begin to change my ways
Sometimes I believe in fate but the chances we create
Always seem to ring more true
You took a chance on loving me, I took a chance on loving
If I was in jail I know you'd spring me
If I was a telephone, you'd ring me all day long
If I was in pain I know you'd sing me soothing songs
Sometimes I believe in fate but the chances we create
Always seem to ring more true
You took a chance on loving me, I took a chance on loving
If I was hungry you would feed me
If I was in darkness you would lead me to the light
If I was a book I know you'd read me every night
If you were a cowboy I would trail
If you a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor
If you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
The first time that I saw you
I said for goodness sake
That man's got the power
he's a charmer with a snake
I was thrille and fascinated
but somehow liberated,
When you took me to a place I'd never been.
You showed me lots of things I'd never seen
You set me free
as if you'd taken me,
Halfway up the Hindu Kush
And I love you,
for showing me the view
from halfway up the Hindu Kush
The next time that I saw you, you looked into my eyes
I was sitting on your carpet when I felt it begin to rise.
I kinda got the feeling,
I was floating to the ceiling,
Instead of looking at the sky
you picked me up and showed me how to fly.
You set me free, as if you'd taken me,
Halfway up the Hindu Kush
And I love you
for showing me the view,
From halfway up the Hindu Kush
From halfway up the Hindu,
from halfway up the Hindu,
From halfway up the Hindu Kush.
You set me free, as if you'd taken me,
Halfway up the Hindu Kush
And I love you,
for showing me the view,
From halfway up the Hindu Kush.
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better.
The king of marigold was in the kitchen
Cooking breakfast for the queen
The queen was in the parlour
Playing piano for the children of the king.
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry.
The king was in the garden
Picking flowers for a friend who came to play
The queen was in the playroom
Painting pictures for the childrens holiday.
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry.
The duchess of kircaldy always smiling
And arriving late for tea
The duke was having problems
With a message at the local bird and bee.
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry.
At twelve o'clock a meeting round the table
For a seance in the dark
With voices out of nowhere
Put on specially by the children for a lark.
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry cry cry cry baby
Make your mother sigh.
She's old enough to know better
Cry baby cry
Cry cry cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
Every morning (a)bout half past eight,
My Mummer wakes me says,
"Don't be late",
Get to the office, tryin' to concentrate,
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill.
So I stop one day to figure it out,
I'll quit my job without a shadow of a doubt,
To sing the blues that I know about,
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill.
Minute after minute,
Second after second,
Hour after hour goes by,
Working for a rich girl,
Staying just a poor girl,
Never stop to wonder why.
So here I am in London town,
A better scene Iüm gonna be around,
The kind of music that won't bring me down,
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill.

So here I am in London town,
A better scene I'm gonna be around,
The kind of music that won't bring me down,
I won't spend my life
Waiting for an angel to descend
Searching for a rainbow with an end
Now that I've found you I'll call off the search
And I won't spend my life
Gazing at the stars up in the sky
Wondering if love will pass me by
Now that I've found you I'll call off the search
Out on my own
I would never have known this world
That I see today
And I've got a feeling
It won't fade away
And I won't end my days
Wishing that love would come along
Because you are in my life where you belong
Now that I've found you I'll call off the search
INTERLUDE
My mamma done told me,
when I was in pigtails,
My mamma done told me, Hon,
A man is a two-face
he'll give you the big eye,
And when the sweet talking's done.
A man is a two-face,
A worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing,
The blues in the night
Now the rains a-fallin'
hear the trains a-callin', whooee!
Hear the lonesome whistle
blowin' across the trestle, whooee
a-whooee-ah-whooee, clickety-clack,
Comes echoing back,
The blues in the night.
From Natchez to Mobile,
from Memphis to St. Joe,
Wherever the four winds blow.
I've been in some big towns
and heard me some big talk,
But there is one thing I know.
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing,
The blues in the night
My mamma done told me,
when I was in pig tails,
My mamma done told me, Hon,
a man is a two-face,
he'll give you the big eye
And when the sweet talking's done.
A man is a two-face,
a worrisome thing
who'll leave you to sing,
The blues in the night.
These blue shoes seem to suit me well,
When I feel like hell,
As I do now that you're gone
Lost and lonely since you stopped caring,
I've been wearing my new shoes.
I've been wearing my blue shoes.
You and I made the perfect pair,
It don't seem fair,
I loved you more than you know.
Sorry I'm such a sorry state,
But while I wait for some good news,
I'll be wearing my blue shoes.
Don't feel like walking strong,
Shufflin' along on my way home.
Trudgin' down that shopping street,
Where we used to meet.
But I ain't buying.
I'm wearing my blue shoes and crying.
These blue shoes seem to suit my sould,
Since you shot that hole.
Since you shot that hole in my heart
And if I wind up on the sidewalk bleeding
I won't be needing my new shoes
Won't be needing my blue shoes.
These blue shoes seem to suit me well
When I feel like hell,
As I do now that you're gone
Lost and lonely since you stopped caring
I've been wearing my new shoes
Gonna blame it on the moon,
Didn't want to fall in love again so soon.
I was fine, feeling strong,
Didn't want to fall in love with anyone.
Now that it's gone too far to call for a halt,
I'll blame it on the moon
'Cause it's not my fault;
I didn't think that this would happen so soon
So I'll blame it on the moon.
I was happy to be free
Didn't think I'd give myself so easily.
Guilty feelings in the night
As I wonder is it wrong to feel so right.
Now that it's gone too far to call for a halt,
I'll blame it on the moon
'Cause it's not my fault;
I didn't think that this would happen so soon
So I'll blame it on the moon.

Didn't want to fall in love with anyone.
Now that it's gone too far to call for a halt,
I'll blame it on the moon
'Cause it's not my fault;
I didn't think that this would happen so soon
I’m going to find a happy
I’m going to find a happy
I’m going to find a happy place
Seven thousand eyes are watching
Marching home and no one’s touching
Army of the city workers
Secretaries, lawyers, brokers
Heading for a London station
Heading for a quick salvation
Oblivious to cherry cola
Trying to sell to every stranger
Stuck here it’s cold I’m standing
Hoping for some understanding
Only way to go is inside
I’m going to find a happy
I’m going to find a happy
I’m going to find a happy place
Seven thousand light years travel
Let my sense of time unravel
Trapped feelings are never ending
Send those weaknesses descending
Towards the earth’s red centre
Let the fire rise and enter
Tap into the primal power
Rising like a giant tower
The energy receiving
Cut a hole right through the ceiling
People getting smaller as you fly
I’m going to find a happy
I’m going to find a happy
I’m going to find a happy place
(I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy Place
(I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy place
(I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy place
Find a star, send down a beam to where you are
An elevator of light taking you somewhere
Where you’ll always be loved
I have found that stress and nonsense
Puts me in zone of avoidance
Could my mind be moving faster
Pulling like a super cluster
Can be hard to trust a feeling
But believing ends in seeing
We’re going to find a happy
We’re going to find a happy
We’re going to find a happy place
(I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy place
(I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy place
I won't spend my life
Waiting for an Angel to descend
Searching for a rainbow with an end
Now that I've found you
I'll call off the search
And I won't spend my life
Gazing at the stars up in the sky
Wondering if love will pass me by
Now that I've found you I
I'll call off the search
Out on my own
I would never have known
This world that I see today
And I've got a feeling
It won't fade away
And I won't end my days
Wishing that love would come along
`Cause you're in my life
where you belong
Now that I've found you I
I'll call off the search
Now that I've found you I
I'll call off the search
Now that I've found you I
I'll call off the search
Wie kann ich nur glauben mit beiden Beinen im Leben zu stehen
Wo ich doch doch schon den Abgrund unter mir spüre?
Wie kann ein Glücksgefühl so trügen
und Schmerz so süß schmecken?
Wie kannst du mich dir beim Einschlafen zusehen lassen
und am nächsten Tag meine Träume zerstören
Wie konnte ich mich mit meiner Liebe zu dir nur so irren?
So verrückt war ich noch nie!
Fühle mich wie zweiundzwanzig
Benehme mich aber wie ein siebzehnjähriger Teenager
Ohne dich wäre mir sowas nicht passiert!
Jetzt weiß ich wie dicht Wahnsinn und deine Gegenwart bei einander liegen
Wie konnte ich mich nur Hals über Kopf in dich verlieben
Wo doch alles nur eine einzige Lüge war!
So einfach ist es also ein Herz zu zerbrechen!
Augen zu! Abgehakt! Erledigt!
Warum behandelst du mich wie ein Kind
Ein Kind dass sich so nach dir sehnt?
Wie kann man nur so tief empfinden
Und sich gleichzeitig dabei so einsam fühlen?
Some people say
That oysters make you come on strong
But I don't buy it
I don't believe my diet turns me on
Won't take no pills
That's the last thing that I need to do
I can't deny it
My aphrodisiac is you
Alright, I could sniff some powdered rhino horn
And go to bed in rubber gloves
But I don't need no stimulation
Potions, balms or embrocation
I'm in love, in other words
Don't smoke no grass
Or opium from old Hong Kong
That hubble bubble, just makes me see you double
All night long
Don't waste my time
With Spanish fly and roots to chew
They 'cause me trouble
Because my aphrodisiac is you
Alright, I could sniff some powdered rhino horn
And go to bed in rubber gloves
But I don't need no stimulation
Potions, balms or embrocation
I'm in love, in other words
Some people like
To read the first
But I don't need it, I think if I should read it
I'd be worse
Don't ask me why
Because baby, I ain't got a clue
I just concede it
I saw you this morning,
You were moving so fast.
Can't seem to loosen my grip,
On the past.
And I miss you so much,
There's no one in sight.
And we're still making love,
In my secret life.
I smile when I'm angry.
I cheat and I lie.
I do what I have to do,
To get by.
But I know what is wrong,
And I know what is right.
And I'd die for the truth,
In my secret life.
Hold on, hold on, my brother,
My sister, hold on tight.
I finally got my orders,
I'll be marching through the morning.
Marching through the night,
Moving 'cross the borders,
Of my secret life.
Looked through the paper,
Makes you want to cry.
Nobody cares if the people,
Live or die.
And the dealer wants you thinking,
That it's either black or white.
Thank God it's not that simple,
In my secret life.
I bite my lip.
I buy what I'm told.
From the latest hit,
To the wisdom of old.
But I'm always alone,
And my heart is like ice.
And it's crowded and cold,
In my secret life
The thing that makes me feel the most down,
Is the feeling that I'm living in a ghost town.
Barn door bangin' in my face,
Like tumbleweed,
I'm rolling 'round this place.
I see you arriving at the station,
But it's only my imagination.
So I'm begging on my knees,
Turn around,
And save me, baby, please.
From this ghost town,
I feel like giving in,
Since you left I'm living in,
An old ghost town.
Hey kid, I remember all the laughter,
Especially when we woke the morning after.
Why did you have to go away,
Leaving me to wander every day.
In this ghost town,
I feel like giving in,
Since you left I'm living in,
An old ghost town.
We were born to ride,
Side by side.
We are always reaching for the stars,
And they can still be ours.
(If you free me from this)
Ghost town,
I feel like giving in,
Since you left I'm living in,
An old ghost town.
I feel like giving in.
Since you left I'm living in,
An old ghost town.
I feel like giving in,
Since you left I'm living in,
An old ghost town.
Living in an old ghost town
Every night we fall into bed,
But it's all in my head.
Every night we fall in a heap,
And you kiss me to sleep.
And baby all the sleepy things you say,
Blow me away.
Till the next day,
When I find what we did and we said,
Was all in my head.
Every night you whisper to me,
This always will be.
Every night you smooth down my hair,
But you're not really there.
And darling it seems as if we know,
Our love will grow.
And then the next day,
I find what we did and we said,
It was all in my head.
Drowsy, drinking,
I keep thinking,
We're not far apart.
Scared of waking,
Lonely, aching,
Just me and my hopeless heart.
Sleeping soundly,
Your arms around me.
Through the night we cruise,
Then I find it's in my mind,
That you stroke away my blues.
Every night we fall into bed,
But it's all in my head.
Every night we fall in a heap,
And you kiss me to sleep.
And baby all the sleepy things you say,
Blow me away.
Till the next day,
When I find what we did and we said,
It was all in my head.
It was all in my head.
It was all in my head
Whoo
Faraway voice,
We can hear you whoo voice,
What's it like to be heard,
But from you not a word,
Are you over those hills,
Do you still hum the old melodies,
Do you wish people listened,
Over here with me,
Whoo
Faraway voice,
What I would give to hear that voice,
What's it like to breath,
My ears deceive me voice,
And I will walk with you on a summers,
And I will talk to you,
Though you're faraway,
And we'll sing through the years,
Are you over those hills,
Do you still hum the old melodies,
Do you wish people listened,
Over here with me
I've got a ticket,
To the fast city,
Where the bells don't really ring,
Getting off the plane the cold air,
Rushes like bullets through my brain,
And I'm divided between penguins and cats,
But it's not about what animal youüve got,
It's about being able to fly,
It's about dying nine times,
Walked on Broadway,
Going up to falls,
With the old man I used to know,
The paintings on the walls of release,
Are colourful but they are no Matisse,
And I'm divided between penguins and cats,
But it's not about what animal you've got,
It's about being able to fly,
It's about dying nine times,
It's about being able to fly,
It's about dying nine times,
How can I think I'm standing strong,
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep,
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
I was never crazy on my own...
And now I know that there's a link between the two,
Being close to craziness and being close to you.
How can you make me fall apart
Then break my fall with loving lies?
It's so easy to break a heart;
It's so easy to close your eyes.
How can you treat me like a child
Yet like a child I yearn for you?
How can anyone feel so wild?
Missing the train every morning at 8:52
Sipping coffee from the same cup as you
The sharing of secrets we thought no one else knew
That's what I miss about you
The new way that love had made me see
Your bashful grin when you asked if I would like your
The knowing way you used to caress me
That's what I miss about you
You stole in with your starry smile, exciting me
Driving with you in your new car, feeling free
And if it's true that love is blind, then I was blind
willingly
You made me feel we had a future that could be and
would be
The way you said I'd be no one on my own
Your way of soaking yourself in over-priced cologne
The way you turned the light out when I knew you were
home
That's what I don't miss about you
I bet you're using your weary magic, like it's new
Driving so fast with a new fool, beside you
Presumably believing she's the last of the lucky few
I wonder if she knows she's being lied to like I do
The way I only doubted myself when I was with you
Like I was wrong for expecting something from life too
Your skill of putting me down in front of everyone we
knew
I see trees that are green, red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue, clouds of white,
bright blessed days, dark sacred nights
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of the people passing by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "How do you do?"
But they're really saying, "I love you"
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of the people passing by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "How do you do?"
But they're really saying, "I love you"
I see trees that are green, red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
It's Only Pain lyrics
It's only pain, it only hurts
I'm only down on the floor where I've been before
And I'll be here again though it hurts to lose you
It's only pain
We went so far, we flew so high
Now it's not easy to watch it die
Just let go, not ask the reason why
But it don't matter anymore
It's only pain, it only hurts
I'm only down on the floor where I've been before
And I'll be here again though it hurts to lose you
It's only pain
It's not my style, it's not my way
To see the future in shades of gray
Though I still can't bring myself to say
That you don't matter anymore
It's only pain, it only hurts
I'm only down on the floor where I've been before
And I'll be here again though it hurts to lose you
Mary Pickford used to eat roses
Thought that they?d make her
Beautiful and they did
One supposes
Douglas Fairbanks, he was so handsome
He wore a mustache
Must?ve had much cash too
Worth a king?s ransom
Charlie Chaplin, he was invited
When these artists became united
When these artists became united
David Griffith worked as an extra
Then as a stagehand
Until they let him be
A director
Dave was brave, a mover and shaker
A true pioneer
He seemed to show no fear
A real film maker
Just like Chaplin he was invited
When these artists became united
When these artists became united
They tied the knot together
Groom and bride couldn?t hide their pleasure
They tried to pick fair weather
But love died and didn?t last forever
Mary Pickford used to eat roses
Thought that they?d make her
Beautiful and they did
One supposes
Douglas Fairbanks, he was so handsome
He wore a mustache
Must?ve had much cash too
Worth a king?s ransom
Charlie Chaplin, he was invited
When these artists became united
When these artists became united
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone
{Refrain}
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ahhhh
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone
{Refrain}
Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes
Woooo, Wo-o-oo-wo-wo, Wo-o-oo-wo-wo, Wo-o-oo-wo-wo
When the deep purple falls
Over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to twinkle in the night
In the mist of a memory
You wander all back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh
In the still of the night
Once again I hold you tight
Tho' you're gone your love lives on when light beams
And as long as my heart will beat
Sweet lover, we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams
When the deep purple falls
Over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to twinkle
In the night
In the mist of a memory
You wander all back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh
In the still of the night
Once again I hold you tight
Tho' you're gone your love lives on when moonlight
beams
And as long as my heart will beat
Sweet lover, we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams
And as long as my heart will beat
Sweet lover, we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams
You packed in the morning
I stared out the window
And I struggle for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
But I didn’t stand in your way
Now I miss you more
then I missed you before
and now where will I find comfort?
God knows
Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most
(you) you just left me
just when I needed you most
now most every morning
I stare at the window
And I think about where you may be
I’ve written you letters that I like to send
If you would just send one to me
Cause I need you
more then I needed before
and now where will I find comfort?
God knows
Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most
Yes you left me
just when I needed you most
(yooouuuu Just when I needed the most)
You packed in the morning
I stared out the window
And I struggle for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn’t stand in your way
Now I love you more
Then I loved you before
and now where will I find comfort?
God knows
Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most
you left me
just when I needed you most
Oooh Yoouu left me
Can't say what came over me
I wasn't what I used to be
Hadn't seen how I lost control
And I always thought that I was strong
But one night, one situation,
One sign, one devastation
Chorus
I could have said: no to the walk
Listened instead of just talked
And I dreamed that I had screamed
I could have run, down the stairs to the sun
It's not what you did to me,
It's the fact that I didn't fight you back
And it seems I had lost my voice
The one that always made the right choice
'cause two nights, two situations,
Two signs, two devastations
Chorus
But now the cup is no longer cold
As the rain trickles down I feel a bold
And time is calling me to set myself free
Concession is the key and knowing what you don't see
They say we never landed on the moon
There's no wind there, they assume
I guess conspiracies are nothing new,
But I'm sure I've been there with you.
And I don't believe that in space
The only life is here on earth
How could we be the only race
That loves and hates 'til death from birth?
But I do believe in love,
Though I should never rely on love
Nothing else excites me,
But loving you.
Is it true a politician's heart
Can rust away and fall apart?
I guess it must be hard,
It must be hard,
To know what's good
and to know what's easy
You might think it's strange,
For all my wild ideas,
But I do not believe that change,
Can ever happen without tears.
But I do believe in love,
Though I should never rely on love
Nothing else excites me,
Got an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other
And it's his good advice that I take
I live with a sprinkle of a little sin
When the world is asleep I?m awake
With the roll of my dirty dice
I?m only following the devil?s advice
I?ll take your love and leave my kind regards
But I never cheat at cards
So you really think you?re leading when we tango across the floor
It?s only ?cause my feet are out of sight
Mine is the hand that spins you 'round
Then pushes you out into the night
With the roll of my dirty dice
I?m only following the devil?s advice
I?ll take your love and leave my kind regards
But I never cheat at cards
With the roll of my dirty dice
I?m only following the devil?s advice
I?ll take your love and leave my kind regards
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man
Yes, and how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
Yes, and how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned
The answer, my friend, is blowin', is blowin'
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
Yes, and how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died
The answer, my friend, is blowin', is blowin'
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea
Yes, and how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see
The answer, my friend, is blowin', is blowin'
The answer is blowin' in the wind
The answer, my friend, is blowin', is blowin'
A moment of madness
It's happened before
It could turn into sadness or a civil war
You've got me changing all I ever thought
When you first got so mad lost your rag
Trying to some save some trees
Angry cries, saw your thighs
And I fell to my knees
Oh my god what is this?
It's a moment of madness,
When we drank too much beer
Lost our fear
Our defenses were down
You got up tried your luck
Bought a dubious round
It can be hard to resist
It's a moment of madness
A promise of passion
A trailer of sin
A smiling assassin
The demon within
Endorphins are raging
Resistance is thin
And you're blowing my mind
‘Cause I find that your theories of life
Are insane, feed my brain
I could listen all night
I can't leave till we kiss
It's a moment of madness
And I just wanna stare at your hair
And imagine you opening your door
In your drawer there's some leather in there
I refuse, you persist
It’s a moment of madness
You know I’m not asking a lot,
Only your life,
I don't want to get what I want,
But I'm willing to try,
And I'm gonna ask you to stop,
But I'm full of lies
When you first got so mad lost your rag
Trying to save some trees
Angry cries, saw your thighs
And I fell to my knees
Oh my God what is this?
It's a moment of madness
And I just wanna stare at your hair
And imagine you opening your door
In your drawer there's some leather in there
I refuse, you persist
