I don't know what to say you, but I guess that's alright
I haven't felt way since our final Friday night
I took you to the airport and you got on that plane
Away from here, away from me, away from all the pain
It's ok, I understand, I would've done the same
Things did not work out for us, and we are both to blame
But I will always love you with everything I've got
And I will always be there for you, no matter what
We will always have Paris, remember that
Always have Paris
I tried to write you letters but couldn't find the words
Guess everything I'd write to you would make us both feel worse
I drove by all the places that remind me of you
The best of times, the worst of times, the stuff that we went through
I still can't believe that we're an ocean apart
I'll always have a special place for you here in my heart
But I will always love you with everything I've got
And I will always be there for you, no matter what
We will always have Paris, remember that
Always have Paris
I still can't believe that we're an ocean apart
I'll always have a special place for you here in my heart
But I will always love you with everything I've got
And I will always be there for you, no matter what
We will always have Paris, remember that
Since two weeks
I've been writing you
letters of regret
I'm sorry for the things I've done
didn't do or said
There's no sunshine, there's no sunshine
seems like the sun don't shine for me no more
The cigarettes, the alcohol
the heartache and the fight
I hope that you still think of me
and dream of me at night
There's no sunshine, there's no sunshine
seems like the sun don't shine for me no more
It's cold and lonely here
and there's no one to keep me warm
I pray it's only an eclipse of the sun
A bridge too far a hill to steep
A promise that we couldn't keep
I woke up in the morning
You had left without a warning
Concrete submerged foundations built
Outflanted but still we took the field
It wasn't meant to be. I guess
All good things must come to an end
And now I'm sitting here, in the dark, all by myself
Won't catch me crying
It just don't matter anymore
It's not that it's the first time
I've been down this road before
It just don't matter anymore
I will overcome the heartache like before
A bridge too far a hill to steep
A promise that we couldn't keep
I woke up in the morning
You had left without a warning
Outnumbered we did not back down
Surrounded yet we stood our ground
The outcome was a bitter pill
for what it's worth. I love you still
And now I'm sitting here, in the dark, all by myself
Won't catch me crying
It just don't matter anymore
It's not that it's the first time
I've been down this road before
It just don't matter anymore
I will overcome the heartache like before
It just don't matter anymore
It's not that it's the first time
I've been down this road before
It just don't matter anymore
I will overcome the heartache like before
It just don't matter anymore
I've been a member of this club, for way too many years
All we really do is sit and drink and listen to the Queers...
Well, I know it sounds pretty dumb, but we've got no other choice
Yeah, I rather would be hanging out with Becky, Kate or Joyce.
Cause I hate, I hate guys with girlfriends (with girlfriends)
Well, I hate, I hate guys with girlfriends (with girlfriends)
Yeah, I hate guys with girlfriends (with girlfriends)
Well, I hate guys with girlfriends, yeah.
Every time I see them walking by, I'm about to loose my cool
Cause they always make me realize that I am such a fool.
Why can't I be like normal guys and have a proper girl
Well, I hope there's still one left for me, yeah, somewhere in this world.
Cause I hate, I hate guys with girlfriends (with girlfriends)
Well, I hate, I hate guys with girlfriends (with girlfriends)
Yeah, I hate, I hate guys with girlfriends (with girlfriends)
Well, I hate guys with girlfriends, yeah.
There's nothing more to say
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing that will make me happy...
Well, I'm still all alone, every single day
Well, I guess it was meant to be, yeah.
But don't misunderstand, (don't misunderstand)
I still want to have a girlfriend
but as long as I'm alone (as long as I'm alone)
I'll keep singing this stupid song, over and over and over!
Cause I hate, I hate guys with girlfriends (with girlfriends)
Yeah, I hate, I hate guys with girlfriends (with girlfriends)
Well, I hate, I hate guys with girlfriends (with girlfriends)
Well, I hate guys with girlfriends, yeah
Yeah, I hate guys with girlfriends, yeah
Well, I hate guys with girlfriends
I hate guys with girlfriends
I feel so useless, I feel so small
I feel like a hippie at the Headbanger's Ball
I feel so stupid, I feel so dumb
I feel like a mojito without any rum
I'm decoration, that's it
I'm always around but no one gives a shit
I feel like, I feel like a Lame-Ass Extra in a U2 Video
I feel like, I feel like a Lame-Ass Extra in a U2 Video
I feel retarded, I feel so lame
I feel like a midget in a basketball game
Can't feel my fingers, can't feel my toes
I won't make a cent today, but that's just the way it goes
I'm decoration, that's it
I'm always around but no one gives a shit
I Feel Like, I feel like a Lame-Ass Extra in a U2 Video
I Feel Like, I feel like a Lame-Ass Extra in a U2 Video
I wanna go where the streets have no name
Wait, I did not just say that, that's too fuckin' lame
And now I'm stuck in a moment that I can't get out of
Somebody shoot me please
I'm decoration, that's it
I'm always around but no one gives a shit
I feel like, I feel like a Lame-Ass Extra in a U2 Video
You feel angry, betrayed, pushed away, insecure and completely alone
You called all of your family and friends but no one would answer the phone
You feel lost in this world, you feel so outta step with the rest of the crowd
You are stuck in a maze, but no one understands what you're talking about
You still hide behind lies and you cover the truth with a nod and a smile
You decided you're just gonna go with the flow, sit it out for while
You feel trapped in a circle that's vicious and cruel, you seem nailed to the ground
You are chained to a life that's designed just to drag you all the way down
Hold on to me
There's more to life than safety and security
Hold on to me
Your heart should be your #1 priority
So why don't you hold on to me?
I need some medication,
Some glue to fix my heart
I need someone
To clean this mess inside my head
I'd like an explanation,
Oh please tell me why
I hate the fact you've left,
You've left me wondering
I can't appreciate
The fact that you went away
The minutes that have passed since then
Please fall in love again
I don't know what to do today
Tomorrow's the same as yesterday
I stay in bed 'till three o'clock
Don't care about waking up
You make me feel like giving in
I'm giving up I'm caving in
I need someone
To put some sense back in my head
The way I feel today,
I might as well be dead
I still can't believe the things you've said to me
About what we had,
It was Friday, somewhere in September
what a nightmare, I can still remember
Yeah we down to the club to see the punkrockshow
And when we got there, there was nothing else to do
But just start drinking, cause the bands were pretty bad
Just stop the thinking, have another beer let's go
This is the story of a good time going bad
The next day I woke up with steamtrains in my head
Friday night killed Saturday fun
Friday night killed Saturday fun
As far as I'm concerned it had only just begun
But Friday night killed Saturday fun
You should've seen us, sitting there the morning after
In the backseat, of the van, what a disaster
We were heading to the south to play a punkrockshow
Let me rephrase that,
we were heading south to play some stupid party
For a bunch of trendy kids that looked retarded they didn't like us much
This is the story of a bad time going worse
I think we're losing him, somebody call a nurse
Friday night killed Saturday fun
Friday night killed Saturday fun
As far as I'm concerned it had only just begun
But Friday night killed Saturday fun
Yeah, we all swore we'd never drink again
We all gave up smoking that day
We all agreed we needed change and harmony in life
No one deserves to live this way
No one deserves to live this way
Friday night killed Saturday fun
Friday night killed Saturday fun
As far as I'm concerned it had only just begun
Standing all alone in the dark
falling apart
Standing all alone in the dark
falling apart
This was all she said now
Before she turned her head now
Guess it's over. Guess it's over
Get over it
I just lost my head now
Never felt so said no
Now it's over. Now it's over
Get over it
Standing all alone in the dark
falling apart
Standing all alone in the dark
falling apart
Another minute passed by
Before I fully realized
Guess it's over. Guess it's over
Get over it
As I stood there all alone
Why she left I didn't know
Now it's over. Now it's over
Get over it
Standing all alone in the dark
falling apart
Standing all alone in the dark
falling apart
Standing all alone in the dark
Well I try to be a little more
than all the other guys you've had before
I try to make you see make you believe
that you're better off with a guy like me
your eyes are open wide, why can't you see?
I'll give you love and I'll give you joy
and I'll give you happiness and so much more
I try to make you see, make you believe
that you're better off with a guy like me
your eyes are open wide, why can't you see?
I try to make you love me
God knows, I've tried so many times
I love you, it's true, I think about you
I love you, it's true, my arms wrapped around you
I love you, it's true, I need to hold you
I'd like to dream about the way
you and me will end up someday
I try to make you see, make you believe
that you're better off with a guy like me
When your heart is broken
for the third time in a row
you think it's all over
the final curtain
of the final show
But then love comes by for you again
it takes away your worries
and it takes you by the hand
and it will never let you down
Evi I love you
and I want you
here tonight
Picking up the pieces
is a nightmare when you're all alone
crawling through the darkness
selfdestructing
feelings never shown
But the sun comes up
another day
and it will shine on you
in a very special way
and it will always keep you warm
Evi I love you
and I want you
here tonight
I never really got to thank you
for the time we spent together
and I'm sorry it's all over
but it doesn't really matter
anymore because if you and me
were really meant to be
then one day we will kiss again
Sometimes I hate my life, I don't know what to do
I try to make things work, but I ain't got a clue
I'm in a big dark room, and I can't find the light
I try my very best, but I can't get it right
But then I find myself, tapping along to the beat
It makes me wanna go outside and hit the streets
Meet up with my friends that mean the world to me
Yeah, this is exactly how I want it to be
I'm doing great, I'm doing fine
I gotta keep on thing in mind
Every day is a rock 'n roll day
You gotta roll with the punches, stay on top of the game
And every night is a rock n roll night
If you're gonna do it, do it right
They say the world's a stage and we must all play a part
Sometimes I rather stay at home and play air-guitar
Yeah, there's a sweatpants party at 34c
Fuck the world, I'm hanging out with me
But then this tiny voice inside my head tells me to
Get off of the couch, there's things to do
There's a rockshow going on, and my name's on the list
And I don't wanna hear about the action I've missed
Hey can't you tell, hey, can't you see?
It's pretty obvious to me
Every day is a rock 'n roll day
You gotta roll with the punches, stay on top of the game
And every night is a rock n roll night
If you're gonna do it, do it right
I might not be here for a long time
But I'm here for a good time...
I might not be here for a long time
But I'm here for a good time...
Every day is a rock 'n roll day
You gotta roll with the punches, stay on top of the game
And every night is a rock n roll night
If you're gonna do it, do it right
Every day is a rock 'n roll day
You gotta roll with the punches, stay on top of the game
And every night is a rock n roll night
I don't wanna eat, crazy
I don't wanna eat, crazy
I don't wanna eat ,crazy
I don't wanna eat, crazy cows
Crazy cows, they are the best
Crazy cows, fuck all the rest!
Let's go!
I don't wanna eat, crazy
I don't wanna eat, crazy
I don't wanna eat, crazy
I don't wanna eat, crazy cows
Let them live, you don't have to kill
Let everybody be an imbecile
I don't wanna eat, crazy
I don't wanna eat, crazy
I don't wanna eat, crazy cows
I don't wanna eat, crazy
I don't wanna eat, crazy
She doesn't like me too much, she tells me every time
She doesn't want me around, she doesn't wanna be mine
Anymore, anyhow, seems like I blew it somehow
I guess I leave her alone until again I'm allowed
In her presence again, hanging out with her friends
I still have a long way to go
Sometimes I wanna give up, end it all right now
She puts her love on the line, she keeps her heart on a shelf
She hides away in a world with no one there but herself
Every day, every night, she always closes the blinds
But in hallway she makes sure that there's always a light
Oh how I wish, I could forget about her
It would make my life less complicated
That's an understatement, I'm telling you
But then she smiles
And I know she smiles for me
And I know she will be
My girl again someday [x2]
It breaks my heart when I see her sometimes walking around
All by herself, late at night, while she just stares at the ground
What is she thinking about, what's going on in her head?
Does she remember the day, the day that we first met?
I guess I'll never find out
The clock is ticking the wrong way
Outside the rain is pouring down
The bridge is burning, the damage done
But then she smiles
And I know she smiles for me
And I know she will be
My girl again someday [x2]
One day she'll come back to me
That's the way it's gotta be
We're setting sail for bluer skies
I love her and she loves me
A classic item, now can't you see
If not man, open up your eyes
You can tell it by the way she always smiles...
But then she smiles
And I know she smiles for me
And I know she will be
Behind enemy lines. I'm afraid, all alone
It's just too dark to see where my troops
they have gone
I gotta fight my way back home
I gotta fight my way
Enemies closing in time to go
time to move
I feel the pressure now time to think
time to choose
I gotta fight my way back home
I gotta fight my way back home
I gotta fight my way
Bullers are flying by, there's no chance
gonna die
Out of the trenches now, gotta run
gotta try
I gotta fight my way back home
I gotta fight my way
Skies turn from black to red
grenades are falling all around
Just let my mother know
I was always homewardbound
I gotta fight my way back home
I gotta fight my way back home
I gotta fight my way
In a day or so I'll be home
I gotta fight my way back home
In a day or so I'll be home
I gotta fight my way back home
In a day or so I'll be home
Lost in a world with no perspective
It's hard for me to stay objective
Cause there's always something going wrong
I act too fast or wait too long
And then I'm back with my back against the wall
Lost in a world with no dimension
With no remorse, no comprehension
I feel sick, it's getting hard to breathe
Almost choking, rescue me
Guess I'm back with my back against the wall
I'm back Back against the wall
I'm back Back against the wall
I'm back Back against the wall
Here I am with my back against the wall
Lost in a world with no tomorrow
I try to keep it on the down-low
I lean back, enjoy the luxury
I just don't let it bother me
Bright day light
I don't want it
Want the dark to brighten up my sight
Bright day light
I don't want it
Want the dark to open up my eyes
Every day's a lie
Every night is why
I still think this shit is all worthwhile
I close my eyes, lights fade away
The night feels so much better than the day
When I was dazed, alone and hours out of place
The night feels so much better than the day
Dark grey night
I want it
Want the earth to stop rotating now
Every day is fate
Every night is great
Wish that it could be night time all day
I close my eyes, lights fade away
The night feels so much better than the day
When I was dazed, alone and hours out of place
The night feels so much better than the day
I close my eyes, lights fade away
The night feels so much better than the day
When I was dazed, alone and hours out of place
Always joking, cracking up, dude, you're so lame
And everyone I know, dude, they all feel the same
You think you're so damn funny
You think you're so damn funny
You think you're so damn funny,
Well, I think that you suck.
Oh Oh ...
Always trying to make me laugh, just cut the crap
I don't wanna hear your shit, so shut your gap.
You think you're so damn funny, (you think you're funny)
You think you're so damn funny, (you think you're funny)
You think you're so damn funny

You think you're so damn funny, (you think you're funny)
You think you're so damn funny, (you think you're funny)
You think you're so damn funny
Well, I think that you suck.
Oh Oh ...
Always making jokes, dude, you're such a hoax
Just admit it, you're a clown.
So, you think it's funny, dude, I screwed your honey
Dude, when you was not around.
You think you're so damn funny, (you think you're funny)
You think you're so damn funny, (you think you're funny)
You think you're so damn funny
Well, I think that you suck.
You think you're so damn funny, (you think you're funny)
You think you're so damn funny, (you think you're funny)
You think you're so damn funny
Well, I think that you suck.
You think you're so damn funny, (you think you're funny)
You think you're so damn funny, (you think you're funny)
You think you're so damn funny
I went to the bar last night, got shitfaced like I always do
The night was young, and I was feeling alright, same as ever,
nothing new
Then some dude came up to me and this is what he said:
Yo Aper, I've got some news for you, I bet you haven't heard this yet
Saw your girlfriend with another dude last night
Thought I'd tell you, cause this shit just don't seem right
Now what have you got to say for yourself, what have you got to say?
Word is out, word is out on the street
You rather hang out with him than you do with me
Word is out, word is out on the street
You rather hang out with him than you do with me
So I stayed home, watched Rocky 6, fantastic movie, must admit
The beer was cold, and the weed was killer, still I really felt like shit
Had this dude been shitting me, just fuckin with my brain?
The thought of you with another dude is driving me insane
I don't wanna spend Christmas alone this year
Eating noodles whiles just crying in my beer
Now what have you got to say for yourself, what have you got to say?
Word is out, word is out on the street
You rather hang out with him than you do with me
Word is out, word is out on the street
You rather hang out with him than you do with me
Word is out, word is out on the street.. [x6]
Now what have you got to say for yourself, what have you got to say?
Word is out, word is out on the street
You rather hang out with him than you do with me
Word is out, word is out on the street
I don't wanna die in the streets of Winterthur tonight
I don't wanna die in the streets of Winterthur tonight
I still remember it like yesterday o-o-ooh
Drove down to Switzerland with Ox and Tate and Paul
Went to Glasgow, saw the Manges and the Queers
The Cheekbones put us up, they also gave us beers
In the middle of night, everybody was alright
Switzerland ain't that bad after all
Everyone was doing fine, no problems of any kind
Fair to say it was miracle
Now someone get me out of here
I don't wanna die in the streets of Winterthur tonight
I don't wanna die in the streets of Winterthur tonight
I don't wanna die in the streets of Winterthur tonight
I don't wanna die in the streets of Winterthur tonight
As I recall now, 6 months later I went back
What was I thinking, man, was Aper smoking crack
Hell no, I just smoke pot, but what yr gonna do
I had a show to play, wha o-o-o-o-oh
Right when I came off the stage, bad luck slapped me in the face
Someone stole my hooded sweater
Visions popped up in my head of me outside frozen to death
Wearing nothing but my leather
Now someone get me out of here
I don't wanna die in the streets of Winterthur tonight
I don't wanna die in the streets of Winterthur tonight
I don't wanna die in the streets of Winterthur tonight
Wondering, what I would do, I'd swim straight from here to Peru
I'd take the sun out of the sky, hurt animals, make children cry
I'd sell cocaine to teenage mums, switch on the chair, I'd drop the bombs
On New York City and Japan, Jeruzalem, Afghanistan
Dress up as Hitler, smoke some crack, abuse that monkey on my back
I'd move to Texas, grow a beard, stop jacking off to Britney Spears
I'd sell my body to the night, I'd drink some urine, start a fight
Between the Germans and the Jews, take bets on who will win or lose
Wondering how far I'd go, sell Chinese Kids to Mexico
I'd eat my veggies, get a job, play air guitar to Blitzkrieg bop
Join Greenpeace, start an emo band, steel money from my closest friends
Tell prostitutes "Go fuck yourself", start caring more about my health
Star in pornographic movie, take a crap in the jacuzzi
Do my homework, pay the rent, hide rusty nails under the sand
I'd nuke the world, I'd sweep the floor, I'd steal the blues from Gary Moore
Fuck all of you, my parents too, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
I'd do whatever it takes to get over you
I dare you to come up with something that I wouldn't do
I'd do whatever it takes to get over you
Because the way things are right now, I'm sorry, no can do
And If I don't get over you, I don't know what I'd do
I haven't left the house in days
Ever since you broke my heart
Well that's not true, it didn't break
No you tore it apart
I sit around, and watch TV
Draw question marks on the wall
Did you ever really care for me
Did you ever care at all?
I think that no one could foresee
The damage that you've done to me
Cause I'm lifeless, lost alone without you
Reanimate Reanimate
Nothing but a corpse without you
Reanimate Reanimate my heart
Reanimate my heart
Reanimate my heart
The days just keep on passing by
The nights are long and cold
My mind is blank my eyes are red
My body feels so old
I know I should get up and go
outside to face the world
I really want to but I can't
cause I don't feel a pulse
I think that no one could foresee
The damage that you've done to me
Cause I'm lifeless, lost alone without you
Reanimate Reanimate
Nothing but a corpse without you
Reanimate Reanimate my heart
Reanimate my heart
Reanimate my heart
Cause I'm lifeless, lost alone without you
So please Reanimate my heart
Reanimate my heart
Reanimate my heart
So please Reanimate my heart
Reanimate my heart
Reanimate my heart..
No one could foresee
Something this unexpectable
could happen to me
And it's not acceptable
So I ask you now
Bring back that lovin' feeling
and Reanimate my heart
please Reanimate my heart
Reanimate my heart
No chance in hell I will forget
so sad still nothing has changed
I still regret the things you said
Over and over again
No chance in hell I will forgive
All that you've broke
So thanks I think I'll pass
I'd rather choke
So don't bother knocking again
Those days are over, no longer my friend
I'd rather eat glass
I'd rather eat glass
I'd rather eat glass
I'd rather eat glass
No chance in hell I could foresee
Friendship adjourned
The way you turned out to be
The lesson I've learned
So don't bother knocking again
Those days are over, no longer my friend
I'd rather eat glass
I'd rather eat glass
I'd rather eat glass
I'd rather eat glass
It's so funny how things never seen to
be your fault
It's so funny how things never seen to
be your fault
It's so funny how things never seen to
be your fault
I'd rather eat glass
I'd rather eat glass
I'd rather eat glass
Sometimes I wonder what is wrong with the world today
So many people living fucked up lives in many different ways
Instead of opening a beer, I open my eyes for a chance
This one goes out to all the fat kids
Put down the hamburger, it's not worth it and one day you will regret it
And it's not gonna make it any better in the end
Put down the hamburger, you don't need it, you don't wanna be the fat kid
All it takes is some discipline, my little, chubby friends
I watched the news today, it almost made me cry
Disasters, death, destruction, children suffer, people die
Wish I could help them all, impossible, but here's a Euro
Don't spend it all in one place
Put down the chili fries
Put down the cheese soufflè
Put down the pizza slice
Please Come back to me I can't live without you
Please Come back to me I can't live with'
It used to be so funny,
hanging out with you honey
Every day and night
It used to be so cool,
I walked you home from school
You made me feel alright
It used to be so great, when we used to date
Oh, how I fell for you
It used to be so fine, when you were mine
But now we're through
And now I'm all alone
My friends tell me I'm better off this way
How can they know?
They don't know you like I do
And they don't know that I need you
So please come back to me,
I can't live without you
whoa oh oh
Please come back to me,
I can't live without you
whoa oh oh
Please come back to me,
I can't live without you
whoa oh oh..
It used to be so funny,
hanging out with you honey
Every day and night
It used to be so cool,
I walked you home from school
You made me feel alright
It used to be so great, when we used to date
Oh, how I fell for you
It used to be so fine, when you were mine
But now we're through
Please Come back to me I can't live without you
Please Come back to me I can't live with'
It used to be so funny,
hanging out with you honey
Every day and night
It used to be so cool,

You made me feel alright
It used to be so great, when we used to date
Oh, how I fell for you
It used to be so fine, when you were mine
But now we're through
And now I'm all alone
My friends tell me I'm better off this way
How can they know?
They don't know you like I do
And they don't know that I need you
So please come back to me,
I can't live without you
whoa oh oh
please come back to me,
I can't live without you
whoa oh oh
please come back to me,
I can't live without you
It was a saturday in some dumb cafè
you were with a friend playing Photoplay
I was at the bar drinking Heineken
when I fell in love with you
And like it was planned
we shared a mutual friend
so we sat down somewhere
I finally got to stare
at you the whole night long
and so I wrote this song
because I fell in love with you
Now I keep falling deeper
yeah deeper in love
only the grim reaper
can make the falling stop
And as the days went by I still wondered why
I didn't even talk to you for awhile
now what is wrong with me, do I need therapy?
I just fell in love with you
I'll go out every night because I hope I might
run into you somewhere
this time I won't just stare
no, I promised myself that I'm gonna tell you
that I'm so in love with you
Now I keep falling deeper
yeah deeper in love
only the grim reaper
can make the falling stop
But now I'm doing great
I dream about you every night
thank heaven where they've made you on my knees
you can see it in my eyes, and I, I won't apologise
Time goes fast. Out of control
Get struck behind before you know
It's all gone.yeah. It's all over
Motion-sick and hungover
Just open your eyes and see that
There's a whole world out there, and
it's waiting just for you
99% of all of us don't have a clue
Assembly lines run day and night, so don't
be sad and blue
You're not alone, you're not the only one
Headlines of better life
They drift away into the night
Memories. they fade away
All colours fade and turn to grey
But the future looks bright because
There's a whole world out there, and
it's waiting just for you
99% of all of us don't have a clue
Assembly lines run day and night, so don't
be sad and blue
You're not alone, you're not the only one
You're not alone, you're not the only one
I've heard then say
Life is great
When you're 12 or 88
If that's true
Does that mean
Life's a hellride in between?
I don't know
I don't care
Guess I couldn't care less
I look up
To the sky
And take it one step at a time
You're not alone, you're not the only one
You're not alone, you're not the only one
Nothingness all around
Dark grey line up & down
A stranger passes by
I've know you'll my life
From the east to west
Days and months are put to rest
The snow the rain the sun
Forever you'll go on
N210
Lines and turns lead the way
Just like any other day
The basics stay the same
The memories remain
Time goes by seasons change
Hopes and dreams were rearranged
I never will forget
The good times that we've had
N210
Watch the flowers grow the leaves
they fall
Watch the children growing up
I know you'll be there for me in the end
She's been around yeah she has seen it all
she took the punches then she took the fall
now once again she's left alone
and she's listening to records
of the Rolling Stones
The day's a nightmare that won't seem to end
and every morning it's the same again
but when she falls asleep at night
then everything will be alright
Cause when she's sleeping
she dreams about a world
without loneliness and pain
but when she wakes up
that dream was just a dream
and the world is still the same
Little lost girl take you time
you will have your day
She's spending hours lying on the floor
she's had enough can't take it anymore
don't bother asking her about the mess she's in
she hardly wouldn't know where to begin
She wants to leave she wants to get away
she doesn't think she'll make it through the day
her problems just got stacked so high
and all she does is sleep and cry
Little does she know
that her tome will eventually come
little does she know
Should I regret some things I did,
or some stuff I said
But nothing's gonna change, I live my life my way
Never gonna find the peace that I'm not searching for
The tables won't be turning, I live my life today
There's this plaque between us, I can see it
And it's killing me again
It's coming back
You've kicked me down to the ground
Like everything's my fault
You've spit me right in the face, in the worst possible way
Now this is the last time, I'm leaving now
So I can tell myself and say: "I live today"
Should I regret some things I did, or some stuff I said
Your ace still beat my king when I walked
out of this game
Could you be the devil lost in heaven, lost without a trace
If you feel cold of disappointment, then I feel hot today
There's this plaque between us, I can see it
And it's killing me again
It's coming back
You've kicked me down to the ground
Like everything's my fault
You've spit me right in the face, in the worst possible way
Now this is the last time, I'm leaving now
Haven't read the book, I've seen the movie
now does that mean that I'm a jerk?
I hate to get up in the morning
and I don't like to go to work
but I've been around now, for quite some time
and I'm still doing what I like
so if you want to hate my guts
just go ahead, it's alright
It's ok to hate me [3x] now
Hey, I was there, I've got the t-shirt
I've got some stickers on my van
a big screen tv motherfucker
and an awesome punk rock band
and I just don't care what goes on in the world
and I just don't care about you
you've had your chance but you fucked it up
I'm telling you, we're through
Don't care what others think of me
just wait till I take down your tree
I leave you crying in the mud
so it's ok to hate my guts
It's all over you know
It's all over you know
I saw you do it. I saw you walk right over
I saw it happen, when I looked over my shoulder
And then it hit me, so it happens, there's no turning back
Did it really take this little to get off the track?
It's all over you know
It's all over you know
It's all over you know
It's all over you know
I saw you do it. I saw you taking the last train.
I saw it happens and realised it was too late
Too late for everything concerning you and me, that's right
No longer do I have to worry where you are at night
It's all over you know
It's all over you know
It's all over you know
It's all over you know
And then it hit me, so it happens, there's no turning back
Did it really take this little to get off the track?
It's all over you know
It's all over you know
It's all over you know
I don't mind if you want to sleep on your own
I don't mind if you want to bring somebody home
to spend the night
I don't mind your casual affairs
your one-night stands because I know I'm the main man in your life
And you know I don't mind if you leave me behind
When you go away for a couple of days
but you know that I could come too
and I wouldn't intrude, wouldn't make any fuss
'cos things are so cool between us
Your affection is ultimately mine
remember from the start
I won't take up all of your time
I am in your heart
Your body
But you must admit
I'm prepared to share
at off-peak times
when you think about it
because we know
that others have
and do share mine
Playing your game / your mother substitute
She is she / That you never screwed
Playing your game / Her life revolves round and round you
A total investment / Can't afford to love
You're the prize for her sacrifice - A kiss in the morning
A kiss late at night
She's closing her eyes
To those possible lies
Keeping the doubts
Locked tight up inside
Playing your game / She taking care of you
Watching out for your head / When you're sick
She puts you to bed / She props you up
nurses you through / she's here to look after you
Playing your game / with the rules that you've set
We're on either side / Am I such a threat
Playing your game / Taking care of your needs
She is your security / I may remark on your insensitivity
Johnny is a man
And he’s bigger than you
But his overheads are high
And he looks straight through you when you ask him how the kids are
He’ll get home around 7
Cause the car is real old
And he could have a Cadillac
If the school had taught him right
And he could have married Anne in a blue silk blouse
And the food is on the table
But the food is cold
(Don’t hit her)
Oh can’t you even cook
What’s the good of him working if you can’t damn cook?
Well Johnny is a man
And he’s bigger than her
I guess the bruises won’t show
If she wears long sleeves
But the space in her eyes shows through
It shows through
Could have married Anne in a blue silk blouse
A touch a glance it's a slow dance - it's a classified romance
Purpose, lust and charm - dance to an old refrain
(I love you)
Mutual attachment - semi detachment
- rinse out the dream - in the washing machine
Take out the ring - two fates sealed - negotiated a business deal -
Is this true romance? Champagne bubbles
Going flat - gone flat
Will you dine with me tonight
Will you dance and hold me tight
Send me an orchid on Valentine's day
What more need you to say -
Will you be my wife - be mine
honour and obey - be mine
drink some more white wine - be mine
think it over one day - be mine
Nowadays it’s nice
It’s paradise
Equal time
Equal spending
Yes it’s nice
It’s paradise
Nowadays you cook eggs
Equal breakfast
And again and
Bet it’s nice
You’re equal but different
It’s obvious
Spending time nowadays
By my side
That’s oh so nice
And again with you
It’s equal nice
It’s paradise
Nowadays you wash sheets
Send a buck
Scrub my back for me
That’s paradise
You’re equal but different
It’s obvious
Spending time nowadays
By my side
That’s oh so nice
And again with you
It’s equal nice
It’s paradise
Nowadays you wash sheets
Send a buck
Scrub my back for me
That’s paradise
You’re equal
But different
You’re equal but different
It’s obvious
Got a bad taste in my mouth / got a heavy heart - won't go away
Can't remember much about last night / but I'm trying to regain
a little self-control today
I got out of my head last night
They are coming amongst and in between us
Tapping our phones - you can be sure they've seen us
Are you working for or with the state
They're selling you smack at a slightly cheaper rate
'Cos you're not a threat when you're out of your head
and I'm gonna get out of my head
and it's better in bed - when you're out of your head
and Malcolm is dead - he got out of his head
They are closing down - communications
They're taking control - of our situations
Dear John - cherchez la femme?
Dear John - round the bend?
Dear John - still looking for me?
Dear John - still like what you see?
Dear John - find a sex-machine
It will help with your fantasy
But there is only room for one
and here she comes, here she comes
The car - is it kingfisher blue?
The house - do I welcome you?
do I recline like the seats in your head?
sex-tech objects locked in your head?
Dear John - I'm waiting for you
Restaurant - I've ordered for two
Spread upon and around the tables
Ex-bed, horny fables
Dear John - find a sex-machine
It will help you with your fantasy
But there'e only room for one
You're one of those / who changed the rules
You brought in new rules / which you obey
& coping, coping, coping - or nearly anyway
But is it real? Are you feeling it?
You behave like a model / For others to follow -
Equal shares, equal shares
It's frustrating / aggravating / so annoying / pretend you're enjoying
It's your turn now / But do you want to
I don't know if you want to
It's inhibiting / restricting / so confusing / now I'm losing count
can't concentrate, it's another way to take
Mustn't think about it / Free and at ease
You're not selfish / You're trying hard to please me - please please me
Is your finger aching / I can feel you hesitating
Is your finger aching!?!
Yes, thank you / I got one
Yes, it was nice / Yes, we should go to sleep now
Yes, yes it was fine
we must, we must do it again sometime
we must - yes, but I'm tired
cum again, wot? - I need to etc etc
We don't torture, we're a civilized nation
We're avoiding any confontation
We don't torture, we don't torture
American hostages
in Iran
Heard daily on the news
forget about Vietnam
You can ignore the 32
There are 32 women in Armagh jail
political prisoners here at home
the British state's got nothing to lose
It's a subject better left alone -
We don't torture
we're a civilized nation
We're avoiding
any confontation
We don't torture
Alleged crimes withheld information
She gets no sanitation
dries her shit on her cell wall
feeling cold and sick
She gets a couple of valium
Now she's relaxed for the next interrogation
naked spreadeagled on her back
it's a better position for internal examination
it's a better position for giving information
An armed guard squad she gets a beating
bleeding and wounded she's stopped eating
has a baby gets nothing for pain they came and took
Get into the mood for worldwide confrontation
Wise up to the words of Haig delivered through Reagan
Exposing a commie campaign for world domination
Let's have some more mass extermination
Genocide down at the Sumpul river
Children of eight can go and get raped
Why don't you get a bayonet -
mince up a peasant or two?
Remember remember America's right behind you!
At all costs we've got to stop the Reds
Who wants to hear about 1000 peasants lying dead
Remember the 50s and Mr. MacCarthy
Let's have a witch hunt and nuclear party
Reagan on TV - what a nice kind of guy
He appears on the news without collar and tie
He could press the button and he would survive
He could rule the world cos he's got God on his side
I'm your unfinished business
I turn up at times conveniently around
I don't make demands - it's on your terms
but they're sound
Playing your game / verging on the humane / I get a little romance
When I get the chance to
I'm the spasmodic amusement
No expense - I'm no obligation
I'm your erotic profit
A bonus from the rock & roll situation
'Cos I'm playing your game / Verging on the humane
I get a little romance / when I get a chance to
Yes you ought to
then you ought to
yes you ought to
think about me!
I'm your unfinished business
Lazy rendezvous for two
I'll put in an appearance for you
when the time is right for you
'cos I'm playing your game / verging on the humane
Uprise – Stranded
[Verse 1]
Running from what you want
I just needed space
and now I’m miles away.
I try to undo all my mistakes.
You showed my you’re hurt
By the look of your face.
Everything went so wrong!
I hate what I’ve done
And who I’ve become.
I need you to show me
How far I’ve gone
From where you are!
[Chorus]
Stranded from your love
What I wanted..
No, it wasn’t what I thought it was.
Stranded, searching for my way back
To where you are.
I am on my last breath
Don’t leave me stranded.
[Verse 2]
Late at night I can still hear you
I can still feel you
When you’re miles away
Cause you left your mark
When you stole my heart
You’re all I want
And I’d do anything, anything for you.
Everything went so wrong
I hate what I’ve done
And who I’ve become
I need you to show me
How far I’ve gone from
Where you are.
[Chorus]
Stranded from your love
What I wanted..
No, it wasn’t what I thought it was.
Stranded, searching for my way back
To where you are.
I am on my last breath
Don’t leave me stranded.
[Verse 3]
You are what kept me alive
when I was miles away
Your love is better than life
You’re all that remains.
You are what kept me alive
When I was falling away
Your love is better than life
No matter how far I’ve gone
From where you are.
Stranded from your love
What I wanted..
No, it wasn’t what I thought it was.
[Chorus]
Stranded from your love
What I wanted..
No, it wasn’t what I thought it was.
Stranded, searching for my way back
To where you are.
I am on my last breath
Don’t leave me stranded. [2]
Stranded from your love
When you’re miles away.
I am on my last breath
every part of me is a tragedy
It's like a poison in my veins
I'd shut and get away
I'd shut my eyes and say,
There's nothing wrong with me
Chorus:
I'm just emotional, a little unstable
I'm the reason you can't succeed
I'm disposable and forgettable
No one understands me
I'm picking up the pieces
trying to find a reason
Why I'm, starting to believe when
everything is broken
oh oh oooh
What did I do wrong and
where do I belong when
oh oh oooh
All i have is open
Everything is broken
Everything is broken
Everything is broken
I tried to live and learn
I always end up hurt
I blame myself for this
I'm high on self-esteem
Be all that I can be
It's not enough to fill the emptiness
Chorus:
I'm just emotional, a little unstable
I'm the reason that I can't succeed
I'm disposable and forgettable
No one understands
I'm picking up the pieces
trying to find a reason
Why I'm, fighting to believe when
everything is broken
oh oh oooh
What did I do wrong and
where do I belong when
oh oh oooh
All i have is open
Everything is broken
Everything is broken
you, you can't blame me (4x)
I'm picking up the pieces
trying to find a reason
Why I'm fighting to believe when
everything is broken
oh oh oooh
What did I do wrong and
where do I belong when
oh oh oooh
All i have is open
Everything is broken (4x)
Never knowing where I am
never seem to understand
Why everything must end
'cause its killing me
Suffocating til I find
all the way to live my life
Where everything is fine
'cause its killing me
yeah, its killing me
I don't wanna be alone
in this place we all call home
Tired of reaching out in vain
tired of dealing with this hurt
I need something real
something I feel
Because its killing me
slowly growing cold
on my own
I don't wanna be alone
Everything is going numb
everything I love is gone
I'm in need of Someone
'cause its killing me
I don't need a lesson
I need a friend
I must confess I'm near the end
I need to heal
I need to mend
'cause its killing me
yeah its killing me
I don't wanna be alone
In this moment I have chosen
I'm alive but I am broken
I need purpose to defer this
All the feelings of being worthless
I need meaning, I am bleeding
And I'm dying in my in-most being
What controls us and corrodes us
I have phobias of dying all alone
Give me something for this nothing
That overcomes me stop this haunting
Give me something that can numb me
From this hurting, stop this haunting
Stop this haunting me
Try to reach me while I'm breathing
Try to keep this heart beating
Will you love me, will you break me
Will you save me or erase me
I give all this all my weakness
All my failures and my regrets
To know God and to feel wanted
To feel anything but haunted
Give me something for this nothing
That overcomes me stop this haunting
Give me something that can numb me
From this hurting, stop this haunting
Stop this haunting me
I need a moment to believe
I need a second just to breathe
Figure out what's haunting me
