I'm not sure
What I'm looking for anymore
I just know
That I'm harder to console
I don't see who I'm trying to be
Instead of me
But the key
Is a question of control
Can you say
What you're trying to play anyway
I just pay
While you're breaking all the rules
All the signs that I find
Have been underlined
Devils thrive on the drive
That is fuelled
All this running around
Well it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe
All the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve
Something that rings true
There's a hole in your soul
Like an animal
With no conscience
Repentance unknown
Close your eyes
Pay the price for your paradise
Devils feed on the seeds
That are sown
Can't conceal what I feel
What I know is real
No mistaking the faking
I care
With a prayer in the air
I will leave it there
On a note full of hope
Not despair
All this running around
Well it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe
All the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve
As I lay here with you
The shame lies with us
We talk of love and trust
That doesn't matter
Though we may be the last in the world
We feel like pioneers
Telling hopes and fears
To one another
And oh what a feeling
Inside of me
It might last for an hour
Wounds aren't healing
Inside of me
Though it feels good now
I know it's only for now
The feeling is intense
You grip me with your eyes
And then I realise
It doesn't matter
Close
Naked
Skin on skin
Tears are falling
Tears of joy
Her first boy
His first girl
Makes a change
In a world full of nothing
Though it's not love
It means something
She's lonely
And he says
It's for her only
That he lusts
She doesn't trust him
Nothing is true
But he will do
It's easy to slip away
And believe it all
Though it's not love
Sometimes watch you
Walk the street at midnight
Sometimes I can feel you in the air
Looking good, knew you would
All the time I understood
Hey, you`re such a pretty boy
You`re so pretty
Everybody seems to look your way now
(Everybody seems to look your way)
Everybody wants to know your name
(Hey, hey, what`s your name?)
Feeling right, just tonight
Hear them say you`re out of sight
All the boys we got to get together
All the boys together we can stand
We can go, never know
All the things we need to show
[Instrumental]
........
We're lying by the orange sky
Two million miles across the land
Scattered to the highest high
Expect they'll either laugh or cry
No sex, no consequence, no sympathy
You're good enough to heat
Two minute warning
Two minutes later
When time has come
My days are numbered
The dawning of another year
Marks time for those who understand
One in four still here
While you and I go hand in hand
No radio, no sound, no sin, no sanctury
So welcome to your last
The sun, the solitude, the cemetery
Saturday night, you look so chic
Been waiting for this moment, been waiting all week
The pub is crowded, much too hot
The boys, they're dancing, they just can't stop
Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
You dance your dance, you dance your chance
Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
You dance with pride and you dance with pride
Ice cold drinks, get sold tonight
We're gonna get happy, the occasion is right
You start to move, you take the floor
The music is better than ever before
Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
You dance your dance, you dance your chance
Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
You dance with pride and you dance with pride
3 AM, I just can't last
The music is loud and much too fast
You cannot get out, you wanna stay
You gotta hang out, another dancing day
Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
You dance your dance, you dance your chance
Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
You dance with pride and you dance with pride
Someone will call
Something will fall
And smash on the floor
Without reading the text
Know what comes next
Seen it before
And it's painful
Things must change
We must rearrange them
Or we'll have to estrange them
All that I'm saying
The game's not worth playing
Over and over again
You're the one I like best
You retain my interest
You're the only one
If it wasn't for you
Don't know what I'd do
Unpredictable like the sun
And the rainfall
Things must change
We must rearrange them
Or we'll have to estrange them
All that I'm saying
The game's not worth playing
Over and over again
Instrumental
Tainted Love
Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night
Chorus
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh...tainted love
Tainted love
Now I know I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way
Repeat chorus
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm going to pack my things and go
Tainted love, tainted love (x2)
Touch me baby, tainted love (x2)
Tainted love (x3)
Instrumental
You turned me away
Away from your actions
Forced by the violence
That always surrounds you
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
You burnt yourself out
In that silence
I have to tell you
I ache for you still
The sound of my words
Is always so shocking
They get much louder
Each time I speak
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
Signals of progress
We're growing much older
I'm afraid that I'll leave
And my ache never goes
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd

Sea of sin
I'm swimming in
And I'm taking a dive
My mind's in need
So my body feeds
And it keeps me alive
It gets better and better
As it gets wetter and wetter
Sea of sin
Know where you've been
But I don't care
Sea of sin
Through thick and thin
For better or worse
My mind's in need
So my body feeds
And it quenches my thirst
You look cheaper and cheaper
As we sink deeper and deeper
Sea of sin
Know where you've been
'Cause I've been there
Here under God's sky
His watchful eye
And all of the lies
My consolation prize
Sea of sin
My second skin
My home from home
When I'm in doubt
My hands reach out
And I'm never alone
It gets wetter and wetter
As it gets better and better
Sea of sin
Know where you've been
And I'm prepared
Sea of sin
Know where you've been
Yes I'm aware
Sea of sin
Know where you've been
'Cause I've been there
Sea of sin
Know where you've been
And I don't care
Sea of sin
Know where you've been
And I don't care
Walk with me.
Open your sensitive mouth and talk to me.
Hold out your delicate hands and feel me,
Couldn't make any plans to conceal me.
Open your sensitive mouth,
Hold out your delicate hands,
With such a sensitive mouth,
I'm easy to see through.
When I come up, when I rush...
I rush for you.
Cry for you,
Seen the tears roll down from my eyes for you.
Heard my truth distorting to lies for you,
Watched my love becoming a prize for you.
Seen the tears in my eyes,
Heard my truth turn to lies.
Seen the tears in my eyes,
I'm not proud of what I do.
When I come up, when I rush...
I rush for you.
I come up to meet you up there somewhere,
When I rush to greet you my soul is bared.
Gave more for you, dropped my crutches
And crawled on the floor for you.
Went looking behind every door for you,
And because of the things that I saw for you.
I spiritually grew.
When I come up, when I rush...
[Instrumental]
A white house, a white room
The program of today
Lights on, switch on
Your eyes are far away
The map represents you
And the tape is your voice
Follow all along you
Till you recognize the choice
I take pictures, photographic pictures
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room
I said I'd write a letter
But I never got the time
And I'm looking to the day
I mesmerize at night
The years I spent just thinking
Of a moment we both knew
A second past like in empty room
It seems it can't be true
I take pictures, photographic pictures
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room
I take pictures, photographic pictures
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room
Oh you've got a way about you
Oh I know so much about you
Girl
Life won't be the same without you
Life will surely be the one to tell
Listen to what she's trying to tell you
She could be the one who's going to save you
Oh well
Oh well
Life won't be the same without you
Life will surely be the one to tell
It's nothing to feel ashamed about
Nothing I can complain about
Instrumental
[Instrumental]
I stand still stepping on a shady street
And I watch that man to a stranger
You think you`ll only know me
When you turn on the light
Now the room is liquid red danger
Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life
Transition to another place
So that time will pass more slowly
Your features fuse
And your shadow`s red
Like a film I`ve seen now show me
The place is hidden and we`re out of sight
And the road just leads to nowhere
The stranger in the door
Is the same as before
When she's on her best behaiviour
Don't be tempted by her favours
Never turn your back on mother earth
Towns are hurled from A to B
By hands that looked so smooth to me
Never turn your back on mother earth
Grasp at straws that don't want grasping
Gaze at clouds that come down crashing
Never turn your back on mother earth
Three days and two nights away from my friends
Amen to anything that brings a quick return
To my friends
To my friends
Never turn your back on mother earth
I'll admit I was unfaithful
But from now I'll be more faithful
Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother earth

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

A long way from home

My little light
Is going to shine
Shine out so bright
And illuminate your mind
My little soul
Will leave a footprint
This little voice
Is going to sing
I have no choice
It will infinitely ring
My little soul
Will leave a footprint
I'm channeling the universe
It's focusing its love inside of me
A singularity
My little words
Are going to sting
Haven't you heard
The pain and joy they bring?
My little soul
Will leave a footprint
I'm channeling the universe
It's focusing its love inside of me
A singularity
Your little eyes
They're going to see
I can't disguise
The beauty inside me
My little soul
Will leave a footprint

"Ka-Ching"
We live in a greedy little world--
that teaches every little boy and girl
To earn as much as they can possibly--
then turn around and
Spend it foolishly
We've created us a credit card mess
We spend the money we don't possess
Our religion is to go and blow it all
So it's shoppin' every Sunday at the mall
All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store
[Chorus:]
Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
It's such a beautiful thing--Ka-ching!
Lots of diamond rings
The happiness it brings
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things
When you're broke go and get a loan
Take out another mortgage on your home
Consolidate so you can afford
To go and spend some more when
you get bored
All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store
[Repeat Chorus]
Let's swing
Dig deeper in your pocket
Oh, yeah, ha
Come on I know you've got it
Dig deeper in your wallet
All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store
[Repeat Chorus]
Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things
Ka-ching!

They call you Jezebel
Whenever we walk in
You're going straight to hell
For wanted acts of sin, they say
And that I'll have to pay
But I need you just this way
They call you Jezebel
For what you like to wear
You're morally unwell
They say you never care for me
But what they fail to see
Is that your games are the key
Open their eyes to the beauty
Open their hearts to the fun
Open their minds to the idea
That you don't own someone
They call you Jezebel
Whenever men walk by
They say that they can tell
The longing in your eyes is real
And how you really feel
But they can't see your appeal
Jezebel
[Instrumental]
....
In a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That I could never forget the way
You told me everything
By saying nothing
In a manner of speaking
I don't understand
How love in silence becomes reprimand
But the way I feel about you
Is beyond words
Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything
In a manner of speaking
Semantics won't do
In this life that we live
We only make do
And the way that we feel
Might have to be sacrificed
So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That like you I should find a way
To tell you everything
By saying nothing
Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Oh give me the words
Give me the words
Give me the words
Give me the words
Give me the words
if you need a friend
don't look to a stranger
you know in the end
i'll always be there
and when you're in doubt
and when you're in danger
take a look all around
and i'll be there
im sorry, but im just thinking of the right words to say
(i promise you)
i know they don't sound the way i planned them to be
(i promise you)
but if u wait around the world, i'll make you fall for me
(i promise you)
i promise you, i promise you i will
when your day is through
and so is your temper
you know that to do
i'll always be there
sometimes if i shout
it's not quite intended
these words just come out
with no cross to bear
im sorry, but im just thinking of the right words to say
(i promise you)
i know they don't sound the way i planned them to be
(i promise you)
but if u wait around the world, i'll make you fall for me

i promise you, i promise you
im sorry, but im just thinking of the right words to say

i know they don't sound the way i planned them to be

i promise you, i promise you i will
i gotta tell ya
i need to tell ya
i've got to tell ya
i gotta tell ya

Just off of the two-lane where the school bus used to stop
Was a little wooden A-frame with a yellow tin roof top
One day it was raining on this world
She said 'have you ever really, really ever kissed a girl?'
Baby I'll be your Huckleberry, you don't have to double dare me
If the storm gets wild and scary count on me to be right there
You're so extra ordinary sweet like maraschino cherries
We'll grow up and we'll get married
I'm gonna be your Huckleberry
Later on that summer we went to the county fair
They had a brand new roller-coaster and everyone was scared
It was two bucks to experience the thrill
She said 'come on boy let's get in line, I'll ride it if you will'
Baby I'll be your Huckleberry, you don't have to double dare me
If the ride gets wild and scary count on me to be right there
You're so extra ordinary sweet like maraschino cherries
We'll grow up and we'll get married
I'm gonna be your Huckleberry
Snuck off on a slow dance at the junior/senior prom
Went lookin for some romance before I had to get her home
Steamin up the windows of my car
She said 'until I get my wedding ring boy we can't go that far'
Baby I'll be your Huckleberry, you don't have to double dare me
If the world gets wild and scary count on me to be right there
You're so extra ordinary sweet like maraschino cherries
We grew up and we got married
Now look at those three little Huckleberries
[Instrumental]

So tired so soon
What happened to you
What happened to you
You got lost
Somewhere between
There and here
Somewhere between
So far so near
You got lost
Somewhere between
What happened to you
Someone has been removed
What happened to her
What happened to her
She got lost
Somewhere between
There and here
Somewhere between
So far so near
She got lost
Somewhere between
What happened to her
You used to be so young
Used to be so young
It was going to take so long
It had almost gone
What is his name
What is his name
What is his name
What is his name

The handshake seals the contract
From the contract there's no turning back
The turning point of a career
In Korea being insincere
The holiday was fun-packed
The contract, still intact
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves - after all
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves - after all
It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts
The graph on the wall
Tells the story of it all
Picture it now see just how
The lies and deceit gained a little more power
Confidence - taken in
By a suntan and a grin
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves - after all
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves - after all
It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts

I could corrupt you
In a heartbeat
You think you're so special
Think you're so sweet
What are you trying?
Don't even tempt me
Soon you'll be crying
I wish you'd trapped me
You'll be calling out my name
When you need someone to blame
I could corrupt you
It will be easy
Watching you suffer
Girl, it will please me
I wanna touch you
With my little finger
I know it will crush you
My memory would linger
You'll be crying out in pain
Begging me to play my games
I could corrupt you
It would be ugly
They could sedate you
But what good would drugs be?
But I wouldn't touch you
Put my hands on your hips
It would be too much to
Place my lips on your lips
You'll be calling out my name
Begging me to play my games
Charms in limited supply
And refusing to stretch
That indefinable nothing
Somehow keeps pushing you
Finding the right words
Can be a problem
How many times must it be said
There's no plan
It had to happen
Got to move on sometime
And it's about time
By putting one foot in front on another
And repeating the process
Cross over the street
You're free to change your mind
Strength through diversity
Couldn't have put it more plainly
Got to move on sometime
Got to move on sometime
Got to move on sometime
Got to move on sometime
Charms in limited supply
Under threat of extinction
That indefinable nothing
Somehow motivates you
Finding the right words
Can be a problem
How many times must it be said
There's no plan
It had to happen
Got to move on sometime
And it's about time
By putting one foot in front on another
And repeating the process
Cross over the street
You're free to change your mind
Strength through diversity
Couldn't have put it more plainly
Got to move on sometime
Come back, come back to me
I've been waiting here patiently
Come back, come back to me
I've been waiting here patiently
I've been walking a thin white line
Between love and hate
I could use a little company
A little kindness go a long way
Weeks turn into months
Months turn into years
Reaching the same conclusions
Gathering up the fear
Come back, come back to me
I've been waiting here patiently
I've been walking a thin white line
Between love and hate
I could use a little company
A little kindness go a long way
Weeks turn into months
Months turn into years
Reaching the same conclusions
Gathering up the fear
Come back, come back to me
I've been waiting here patiently
Come back, come back to me
I've been waiting here patiently
Come back, come back to me
I've been waiting here patiently
Come back, come back to me
Come back, come back to me
You don`t understand, this is in demand
And I think that I have to show you
Try to look inside, take me for a ride
In a day and a night get to know you
Boys meet boys, get together
Boys meet boys, live forever
Don`t say no, boys say go
I could run away if you need to stay
In the rain and the pain and the sorrow
I`m not very sure when you place it all
[Instrumental]
[A remix of 'People Are People']
dang dang dang dang dang
zoom zoom zoom
bop bop bop
She remembered all the shadows
And the doubts
The same film
Vivid pictures like a wall
That`s standing empty
And the night so still
Such a small affair, a relapse
Someone closing like a night club door
Here again and when you speak
I watch you move away and seem so sure
She is hoping to forget
And the moment almost slips away
When the colours move apart
And I wonder if you want to stay
And I need to change you
Like the words I`m reading
Don`t you understand
This the warning
And the message I remember
[Instrumental]
I can't help it, I'm not sure what to do
Does seem crazy, no good for my health
I've seen the doctor, he's come to look at me
If you don't believe it, don't believe
Closer all the time, Closer all the time
Closer all the time, Closer all the time
Now I'm saying how I'm going to need a pill
I need you like a drug to keep my fill
I can't remember everything I do
Now I put them, it's only good to you
Closer all the time, Closer all the time
Closer all the time, Closer all the time
You can't help but look me in the eye
While I come running, I don't know why
It's an addiction, image of love
Your heart pushing, angel from above
Closer all the time, Closer all the time
Closer all the time, Closer all the time
Closer all the time, Closer all the time
Close!
I can't help it, I'm not sure what to do

Here
As I sit
At this empty cafe
Thinking of you
I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we'll never
Find again
Though the world
Is my oyster
It's only a shell
Full of memories
Here by the Seine
Notre-Dame casts
A long lonely shadow
Now only sorrow
No tomorrow
There's no today for us
Nothing is there
For us to share
But yesterday
This is my song
This is my song
This is my song
These cities may change
But there always remains
My obsession
Through silken waters
My gondola glides
And the bridge
it sighs
I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we'll never
Find again
There's no more time for us
Nothing is there
For us to share
But yesterdays
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we'll never
Find again
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we'll never
Find again
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we'll never
Find again
Set me free
Set me free
Remotivate me
Set me burning
After years in deep freeze
My body is yearning
For a new lease of life
And a little spice
Set me free
Remotivate me
Give me a reason
To scream and shout
Give me something
To get excited about
When everything is looking dull
I'm sure it isn't impossible to
Set me free
Remotivate me
Remotivate me
Set me burning
After years in deep freeze
My body is yearning
For a new lease of life
And a little spice
Set me free
Remotivate me
Don't think I'm impatient
Because I'm willing to wait
But something must must happen
Before it gets too late
It could be my imagination
But wasn't there more than this dull sensation
Set me free
Remotivate me
Fragile
Like a baby in your arms
Be gentle with me
I'd never willingly
Do you harm
Apologies
Are all you ever seem to get from me
But just like a child
You make me smile
When you care for me
And you know...
It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together
Independence
Is still important for us though (we realise)
It's easy to make
The stupid mistake
Of letting go (do you know what I mean)
My weakness
You know each and every one (it frightens me)
But I need to drink
More than you seem to think
Before I'm anyone's
And you know...
It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together
Kiss me goodbye
When I'm on my own
But you know that I'd
Rather be home
It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store
[Repeat Chorus]
Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things
Ka-ching!
Put it on
And don't say a word
Put it on
The one that I prefer
Put it on
And stand before my eyes
Put it on
Please don't question why
Can you believe
Something so simple
Something so trivial
Makes me a happy man
Can't you understand?
Say you believe
Just how easy
It is to please me
Because when you learn
You'll know what makes the world turn
Put it on
I can feel so much
Put it on
I don't need to touch
Put it on
Here before my eyes
Put it on
Because you realize
And you believe
Something so worthless
Serves a purpose
It makes me a happy man
Can't you understand
Say you believe
Just how easy
It is to please me
Because when you learn
Everybody's looking for someone to follow
Finding the whole thing hard to swallow
Everybody's looking for a reason to live
If you're looking for a reason I've a reason to give
Pleasure, little treasure
Everybody's looking for a new sensation
Everybody's talking about the state of the nation
Everybody's searching for a promised land
Everybody's failing to understand
Pleasure, little treasure
Everybody's looking for a reason to live
If you're looking for a reason
I've a reason to give
Pleasure, little treasure
Maternity frocks and paternity suits
If that's what you want
They're waiting for you
Everybody needs some reason or other
You'll find a reason when you discover
Pleasure, little treasure
Everybody's looking for a reason to live
If you're looking for a reason
I've a reason to give
Pleasure, little treasure
Sitting target
Sitting waiting
Anticipating
Nothing
Nothing
Life
Is full of surprises
It advertises
Nothing
Nothing
What am I trying to do
What am I trying to say
I'm not trying to tell you anything
You didn't know
When you woke up today
Sitting target
Sitting praying
God is saying
Nothing
Nothing
Always
Knows the prospects
Learnt to expect
Nothing
Well, I'm down on my knees again,
And I pray to the only one.
Who has the strength to bear the pain,
To forgive all the things that I've done.
Oh, Girl, lead me into your darkness.
When this world is trying it's hardest
To leave me unimpressed
Just one caress from you - and I'm blessed.
When you think you've tried
Every road, every avenue
Take one more look at what you found old
And in it you'll find something new
Oh, Girl, lead me into your darkness.
When this world is trying it's hardest
To leave me unimpressed
Just one caress from you - and I'm blessed.
I'm shying from the light,
I always loved the night.
And now you offer me eternal darkness.
I have to believe that sin
Can make a better man
It's the mood that I am in
That's left us back where we began
Oh, Girl, lead me into your darkness.
When this world is trying it's hardest
To leave me unimpressed
I feel you - your sun it shines,
I feel you - within my mind.
You take me there,
You take me where the kingdom comes.
You take me to and lead me through Babylon.
This is the morning of our love,
It's just the dawning of our love.
I feel you - your heart it sings,
I feel you - the joy it brings.
Where heaven waits, those golden gates
And back again.
You take me to and lead me through oblivion
This is the morning of our love,
It's just the dawning of our love.
I feel you - your precious soul,
And I am whole.
I feel you - your rising sun,
My kingdom comes.
I feel you - each move you make,
I feel you - each breath you take.
Where angels sing and spread their wings,
My love's on high.
You take me home to glory's throne
By and by.
This is the morning of our love,
It's just the dawning of our love.
This is the morning of our love,
I can taste more than feel,
This burning inside is so real.
I can almost lay my hands upon,
The warm glow that lingers on.
Moved, lifted higher.
Moved, my soul's on fire.
Moved, by a higher love.
I surrender all control,
To the desire that consumes me whole.
And leads me by the hand to infinity,
That lies in wait at the heart of me.
Moved, lifted higher.
Moved, my soul's on fire.
Moved, by a higher love,
By a higher love.
Heaven bound on the wings of love,
There's so much that you can rise above.
Moved, lifted higher.
Moved, moved by a higher love,
By a higher love.
I surrender heart and soul,
Sacrificed to a higher goal.
Moved, moved by a higher love,
I will have faith in man,
That is hard to understand.
Show some humility, you have the ability,
Get right with me.
Friends, if you've lost your way,
You will find it again some day.
Come down from your pedestals,
And open your mouth - that's all.
Get right with me.
Life is such a short thing
That I cannot comprehend.
But if this life were a bought thing,
There are ways I know we'd mend.
People, take my advise.
Already told you once or twice.
Don't waste your energy making apologies,
In your room where time stands still
Or moves at your will.
Will you let the morning come soon,
Or will you leave me lying here?
In your favorite darkness,
Your favorite half-light,
Your favorite consciousness,
Your favorite slave.
In your room where souls disappear -
Only you exist here.
Will you lead me to your armchair,
Or leave me lying here?
Your favorite innocence,
Your favorite prize,
Your favorite smile,
Your favorite slave.
I'm hanging on your words,
Living on your breath,
Feeling with your skin.
Will I always be here?
In your room your burning eyes
Cause flames to arise.
Will you let the fire die down soon,
Or will I always be here?
Your favorite passion,
Your favorite game,
Your favorite mirror,
Your favorite slave.
I'm hanging on your words,
Living on your breath,
Feeling with your skin.
Here is a song from the wrong side of town
Where I'm bound to the ground by the loneliest sound
And it pounds from within and is pinning me down
Here is a page from the emptiest stage
A cage or the heaviest cross ever made
A gauge of the deadliest trap ever laid
And I thank you for bringing me here
For showing me home
For singing these tears
Finally I've found that I belong here
The heat and the sickliest sweet smelling sheets
That cling to the backs of my knees and my feet
Well I'm drowning in time to a desperate beat
And I thank you for bringing me here
For showing me home
For singing these tears
Finally I've found that I belong
Feels like home
I should have known
From my first breath
God send the only true friend I call mine
Pretend that I'll make amends the next time
Befriend the glorious end of the line
And I thank you for bringing me here
For showing me home
For singing these tears
Someone will call
Something will fall
And smash on the floor
Without reading the text
Know what comes next
Seen it before
And it's painful
Things must change
We must rearrange them
Or we'll have to estrange them
All that I'm saying
A game's not worth playing
Over and over again
You're the one I like best
You retain my interest
You're the only one
If it wasn't for you
Don't know what I'd do
Unpredictable like the sun
And the rainfall.
Reach out and touch faith
Your own Personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own Personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there
Feeling's unknown and you're all alone
Flesh and bone by the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Your own Personal Jesus
Feeling's unknown and you're all alone
Flesh and bone by the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Your own Personal Jesus
You know what I need when my heart bleeds,
I suffer from greed a longing to feed
On the mercy in you.
I can't conceal the way I'm healed,
The pleasure I feel when I have to deal
With the mercy in you.
I would do it all again,
Loose my way and fall again.
Just so I could call again
On the mercy in you, the mercy in you.
When here in my mind I feel inclined
To wrongly treat you unkind -
I have faith I will find
The mercy in you.
I would loose my way again,
Be led hopelessly astray again.
Just so could pray again
For the mercy in you.
When here in my mind I have been blind,
Emotionally behind.
I have faith I will find
You wear guilt
Like shackles on your feet
Like a halo in reverse
I can feel
The discomfort in your seat
And in your head it's worse
There's a pain
A famine in your heart
An aching to be free
Can't you see
All love's luxuries
Are here for you and me
And when our worlds
They fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it
Bring your chains
Your lips of tragedy
And fall into my arms
And when our worlds
They fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
Do you ever get that feeling
When the guilt begins to hurt
Seeing all the children
Wallowing in dirt
Crying out with hunger
Crying out in pain
At least the dirt will wash off
When it starts to rain
Soap won't wash away your shame
Do you ever get that feeling
That something isn't right
Seeling your brother's fists
Clenched ready for the fight
Soon the fighting turns to weapons
And the weapons turn to wounds
So the doctors stitch and stitch
And stitch and stitch and stitch
And stitch and stitch
Surgery won't improve your pain
It all seems so stupid
It makes me want to give up
But why should I give up
When it all seems so stupid
Do you ever get that feeling
That something can be done
To eradicate this problems
And make the people one
Do you ever get that feeling
Something like a nagging itch
And all the while the doctors
Stitch and stitch and stitch
And stitch and stitch
Hope alone won't remove the stains
Get out the crane
Construction time again
What is it this time
We're laying a pipeline
Let the beads of sweat flow
Until the ends have met though
Could take a long time
Working on the pipeline
Taking from the greedy
Giving to the needy
On this golden day
Works been sent our way
That could last a lifetime
Working on the pipeline
From the heart of our land
To the mouth of the man
Must reach him sometime
We're laying a pipeline
Taking from the greedy
Lots of surprises in store
This isn't a party
It's a whole lot more
We've had enough of this blind man's buff
You've kept us in the dark for long enough
This is more than a party
More than a party
More than a party
Keep telling us we're to have fun
Then take all the ice-cream so we've got none
The failed magician waves his wand
And in an instant the laughter's gone
This is more then a party
More than a party
More than a party
Lots of surprises in store
This isn't a party
It's a whole lot more
Let's take a map of the world
Tear it into pieces
All of the boys and the girls
Will see how easy it is
To pull it all down and start again
From the top to the bottom and then
I'll have faith or I prefer
To think that things couldn't turn out worse
All that we need at the start's
Universal revolution (that's all)
And if we trust in our hearts
We'll find the solutions
Took a plane across the world
Got in a car
When I reached my destination
I hadn't gone far
Let's take the whole of the world
The mountains and the sand
Let all of the boys and the girls
She's dressed in black again
And I'm falling down again
Down to the floor again
I'm begging for more again
But oh what can you do
When she's dressed in black
My mind wanders endlessly
On paths where she's leading me
With games that she likes to play
And words that she doesn't say
Not when we are along
And she is dressed in black
As a picture of herself
She's a picture of the world
A reflection of you
A reflection of me
And it's all there to see
If you only give in
To the fire within
Dressed in black again
Shadows fall on to me
As she stands there over me
And waits to encompass me
I lay here helplessly
But oh what can you do
When she's dressed in black
Lets have a black celebration
Black celebration
Tonight
To celebrate the fact
That we've seen the back
Of another black day
I look to you
How you carry on
When all hope is gone
Can't you see
Your optimistic eyes
Seem like paradise
To someone like me
I want to take you
In my arms
Forgetting all I couldn't do today
Black celebration
Black celebration
Tonight
To celebrate the fact
That we've seen the back
Of another black day
I look to you
And your strong belief
Me, I want relief
Tonight
Consolation
I want so much
Whant to feel your touch
Tonight
Take me in your arms
Forgetting all you couldn't do today
Black celebration
Black celebration
I'll drink to that
Black celebration
Fragile
Like a baby in your arms
Be gentle with me
I'd never willingly
Do you harm
Apologies
Are all you seem to get from me
But just like a child
You make me smile
When you care for me
And you know...
It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together
Independence
Is still important for us though (we realise)
It's easy to make
The stupid mistake
Of letting go (do you know what I mean)
My weaknesses
You know each and every one (it frightens me)
But I need to drink
More than you seem to think
Before I'm anyone's
And you know...
It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together
Kiss me goodbye
When I'm on my own
But you know that I'd
Rather be home
It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together
Put on your blindfold
And a dress that's tight
And come with me
On a mystery night
Open your eyes
Follow our stars under a painted sky
We'll leave the world behind
We're learning to fly
We used to get by
Forget the pictures on your TV screen
We'll steal the visions
That you keep for your dreams
You can turn me on
I was blind and I saw the light
My angel coming
In a brilliant white
Shine for me
You've been hanging from a rope of mediocrity
Strung up by your insecurities
You can shine for me
Somebody has to shine for me
It's difficult not to shine for me
Follow our stars under a painted sky
We'll leave the world behind
We're learning to fly
We used to get by
Forget the pictures on your TV screen
We'll steal the visions
That you keep for your dreams
You can turn me on
You've been hanging from a rope of mediocrity
Strung up by your insecurities
You can shine for me
Somebody has to shine for me
It's difficult not to shine for me
Somebody has to shine for me
It's the dark night of my soul
And temptation's taking hold
But through the pain and the suffering
Through the heartache and trembling
I feel loved
I feel loved
As the darkness closes in
In my head I hear whispering
Questioning and beckoning
But I'm not taken in
I feel loved
I feel loved
From the depths of my emptiness
Comes a feeling of inner bliss
I feel wanted, I feel desired
I can feel my soul on fire
I feel loved
As your bony fingers close around me
Long and spindly death becomes me
Heaven can you see what I see
Hey you pale and sickly child
You're death and living reconciled
Been walking home a crooked mile
Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won't kill you
But careful what you're giving
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on, dream on
There's no time for hesitating
Pain is ready, pain is waiting
Primed to do it's educating
Unwanted, uninvited kin
It creeps beneath your crawling skin
It lives without it lives within you
Feel the fever coming
You're shaking and twitching
You can scratch all over
But that won't stop you itching
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on, dream on
Blame it on your karmic curse
Or shame upon the universe
It knows its lines, it's well rehearsed
It sucked you in, it dragged you down
To where there is no hallow ground
Where holiness is never found
Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won't kill you
But careful what you're giving
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on, dream on
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on
Comatose, almost
You've got me dreaming
Slipping in
And Sliding out
Of conscious feeling
Take a light
Start the flame
Play the game
I am lost
In your eyes
Hypnotised
Here I believe
Dreams never deceive
Comatose, almost
You've got me dreaming
Slipping in
And sliding out
Life has no meaning
Bodies move
Colours change
Girl you're strange
Here inside
I'm at home
I'm alive
Don't be afraid
I'm floating away
Comatose, almost
You've got me dreaming
Slipping in
And sliding out
Of conscious feeling
Comatose, almost
Comatose, almost
Oh the tears that you weep
for the poor tortured souls
who fall at your feet
with their love begging bowls
all the clerks and the tailors
the sharks and the sailors
all good at the trades
but they'll always be failures
Alms for the poor
for the wretched disciples
and the love that they swore
with their hearts on the bible
beseeching the honour
to sit at your table
and feast on your holiness
as long as they're able
Love needs its martyrs
needs its sacrifices
they live for your beauty
and pay for their vices
love will be the death of
my lonely soul brothers
but their spirit shall live on in
the hearts of all lovers
You're holding court
with your lips and your smile
your body's a halo
their minds are on trial
sure as adam is eve
sure as jonah turned whaler
they're crooked love thieves
and you are their jailor
Love needs its martyrs
needs its sacrifices
they live for your beauty
and pay for their vices
love will be the death of
my lonely soul brothers
but their spirit shall live on in
the hearts of all lovers.
Sister of night
When the hunger descends
And your body's a fire
An inferno that never ends
An eternal flame
That burns in desire's name
Sister of night
When the longing returns
Giving voice to the flame
Calling you through flesh that burns
Breaking down your will
To move in for the kill
Oh sister, come for me
Embrace me, assure me
Hey sister, I feel it too
Sweet sister, just feel me
I'm trembling, you heal me
Hey sister, I feel it too
Sister of night
In your saddest dress
As you walk through the light
You're desperate to impress
So you slide to the floor
Feeling insecure
Sister of night
With the loneliest eyes
Tell yourself it's alright
You'll make such a perfect prize
But the cold light of day
Will give the game away
Oh sister, come for me
Embrace me, assure me
Hey sister, I feel it too
Sweet sister, just feel me
I'm trembling, you heal me
New sound all around
You can here it too
Getting hot, never stop
Just for me and you
Playing on my radio
And saying that you have to go
New day turn away
Wipe away the tear
New night feel alright
Knowing that you're here
Dancing with you all the time
And don't you think that it's a crime
Back street never meet
Never say goodbye
I know where you've been
But I don't know why
You say that it's from above
(Chorus)
There's something beating here
Inside my body and it's called a heart
You know how easy it is,
To tear it apart
If I lend it to you
Will you keep it safe for me
And if I lend it to you
If you treat it tenderly
There's something beating here
Inside my body and it's called a heart
There is a sun shining in the sky
But that's not the reason why
I'm feeling warm inside
The answer isn't classified
It's my heart
From the moment I started
I tried to be good-hearted
Since I tried my best
And more or less
I spoke with my heart
There's a lot to be learned
And you learn when your heart gets burned
(Chorus)
Hearts can never be owned
Hearts only come on loan
If I want it back
I will take it back
I'll take my heart
But I will try my best
And more or less
I'll speak from my heart
Yes I will speak from my heart
I can hear your soul crying
Listen to your spirit sighing
I can feel your desperation
Emotional depravation
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your feelings show
Picking up the conversations
Deep in your imagination
Tune in to the lonely voices
Talking of their only choices
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your spirit grow
Step out of your cage and onto the stage
It's time to start playing your part
Freedom awaits
Open the gates
Open your mind
Freedom's a state
I can taste the tears falling
A victim that's inside you calling
Yearning for a liberation
Emotional emancipation
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your senses overflow
Step out of your cage and onto the stage
It's time to start playing your part
Freedom awaits
Open the gates
Open your mind
Fame,
Can have strange effects
Money,
Can have strange effects
(Chorus)
I ask myself
Is it a sin, to be inflexible
When the boat .
comes in
Open the window and out go I.
Fame,
Can alter you
Girls,
Can have strange effects too
(Chorus)
We all know,
Fame don't last
We all know,
Cause I've asked
I've been
I've been staring down the barrel of a gun
Whatever I've done
I'm not the one
I'm not the one
Whatever I've done
I'm not the one
I'm not the one
Whatever I've done
Ooh that feeling, head is reeling
You think you`re in control
But you don`t know me, babe
I can move you, I can soothe you
I can take you places in a different way
And I don`t think you understand
What I`m trying to say
I`ll be your operator,baby
I`m in control
Watch your action, close reaction
And everything you`re thinking, babe,
Inside your head
Conversation, my creation
Nothing that you do, you do unless I said
And you don`t know the concequences
Of the things you say
I`ll be your operator, baby
I`m in control
And all the things you try to do, babe
And all the words we said before
Are only part of what I started, baby
Here speaks the voice of reason
It's talking to me loud and clearly
And obviously, it's something to say
Here comes another sentence
It is relentless, it tries my patience
But nevertheless, it's for our concern
We can't see the benefits
So we'll ignore it or disobey it
And never say that this is fun
This is real fun, this is real fun
This is real fun, this is fun
This is real fun, this is real fun
All of these insurmountable tasks
That lay before me
All of the firsts
And the definite lasts
That lay in store for me
There was a time
When all on my mind was love
Now I find
That most of the time
Love's not enough
In itself
Consequently
I've a tendency
To be unhappy you see
The thoughts in my head
All the words that were said
All the blues and reds
Get to me
There was a time
When all on my mind was love
Now I find
That most of the time
Love's not enough
In itself
All of these absurdities
That lay before us
All of the doubts
And the certainties
That lay in store for us
There was a time
When all on my mind was love
Now I find
That most of the time
Love's not enough
The handshake seals the contract
From the contract there's no turning back
The turning point of a career
In Korea being insincere
The holiday was fun-packed
The contract still intact
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves - after all
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves - after all
It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts
The graph on the wall
Tells the story of it all
Picture it now
See just how
The lies and deceit gained a little
More apower
Confidence - taken in
By a suntan and a grin
Come on and lay with me
Come on and lie to me
Tell me you love me
Say I'm the only one
Experiences have a lasting impression
But words once spoken
Don't mean a lot now
Belief is the way
The way of the innocent
And when I say innocent
I should say naive
So lie to me
But do it with sincerity
Make me listen
Just for a minute
Make me think
There's some truth in it
Promises made for convenince
Aren't necessarily
What we need
Truth is a word
That's lost it's meaning
The truth has become
Merely half truth
So lie to me
Like they do it in a factory
Make me think
That at the end of the day
Some great Reward
I am happy
That I have you
Even though you´re not here now
I know somewhere
You are dreaming
Though it´s definitely not of me
It doesn´t matterIf this all shatters
Nothing lasts forever
But I´m praying
That we´re staying
Together
I am warmed
By your friendship
Even when you´re far away
And I´m happy
In the knowledge
We may never see the day
When I kiss you
And you kiss me
Don´t pretend you miss me
The worst kind
Of diseased mind
Is one filled with jealousy
If we should meet again
Don´t try to solve the puzzle
Just lay down next to me
And please don´t move a muscle
I will thank you
Most of all for
The respect you have for me
I´m embarrassed
It overwhelms me
Working week's come to its end
Party time is here again
Everyone can come if they want to
If you want to be with me
If you want to be with me
You can come with me if you want to
Exercise your basic right
We could built a building site
From the bricks of shame is build the hope
If you want to be with me
If you want to be with me
Even though you may still not want to
Let tomorrow and today
Bring a life of ecstasy
Wipe away your tears of confusion
If you want to be with me
If you want to be with me
You can come with me if you want to
Wine is sweet and gin is bitter
Drink all you can but you won't forget her
You talk too much, you laugh too loud
You see her face in every crowd
That's the price of love, the price of love
A debt you pay with tears and pain
The price of love, the price of love
It costs you more when you're to blame
Kiss one girl, kiss another
Kiss them all but you won't recover
You're dancing slow, you're dancing fast
You're happy now, but that won't last
That's the price of love, the price of love
A debt you pay with tears and pain
The price of love, the price of love
It costs you more when you're to blame
You can see them running through me baby
You can see the lights in their eyes
You can see the masses raising me
And I'm preaching them more lies
I'm just a mass-form communication
I sell what everyone buys
You know my appearance is changing
Changing for modern times
I'm just a television set
I'm just a television set
I'm just a television set
Well you can have me in bed if you want me
Just plug me into your wall
And I'll give you sex if you want it
Or I'll give you nothing at all
You can have me, babe, for good times
You can have me, babe, for bad
Keep me running all of your life and
I'll return your instant demand
I'm just a television set
I'm just a television set
I'm just a television set
Did you see them running through me baby
Did you see the lights in their eyes
Did you see the masses raising me
Am I preaching them more lies?
I'm just a mass form communication
I sell what everyone buys
You know my appearance is changing
Changing for modern times
I'm just a television set
I'm just a television set
I'm just a television set
She was silent trying to be
Like the girl who acted on the TV
Always knowing when to say
Wishing for a moment so that they could see
Staring in the night
A picture in my room
And I think that she knew her lines
Break away tonight
I wanna hold your hand
We've got to get it right
We've got to understand
Carefully watching waiting as I
Stood upon the back streets and we start to play
I was screaming louder as the
Curtains fall between us in a twisted way
Staring in the night
A picture in my room
And I think that she knew her lines
Break away tonight
I wanna hold your hand
We've got to get it right
We've got to understand
Placing all the questions in the
Minutes of a game we won so long ago
Dangerous and beautiful the
Radio transmission that I have to know
You could never run
You could never stay
And I think you belong to me
Break away tonight
I wanna hold your hand
We've got to get it right
We've got to understand
Reason Man
Don't know, present time
Children of the other crime
All my dreams are wasting now
No more reason, see the cloud
As I watch you from the road
Find it open, Reason Man
Find it open, Reason Man
Moving in there's nothing to see
One look and you'll always regret
Thinking someone ought to hear
If you listen and only fear
Things were edging to the right
See him laughing, Reason Man
See him laughing, Reason Man
Ever infected all the time
Only boredom crime
Blessed with the feeling we will break
Now infecting Reason Man
Now infecting Reason Man
My joy
The air that I breathe
My joy
In god I believe
My joy
You move me
My joy
The blood in my veins
My joy
Flows in your name
My joy
You move me
I’m not a mountain, no
You move me
My joy
Heavenly bliss
My joy
The pleasures I’ve missed
My joy
You move me
I’m not a mountain, no
Put up the barriers
Shut down your senses
Cover up with all of your pretences
See no evil
Your eyes are blunted
We are the hunters
We are the hunted
Place it in your memory
Leave it in your past
But don't forget
Taking a tumble
I'm taking a dive
Sometimes I stumble when my mind's made up
Reaction levels
Seem strangely muted
Ordinary acts of fun have been diluted
Place it in your memory
Leave it in your past
But don't forget
Running through my head secretly
Shouts of the boys in the factory,
I ring you on the telephone silently
Like ???, like the wine in the darkroom scene
the darkroom scene
Darkroom scene
A letter, once composed,
seven years long and as tall as a tree,
written (reading?) on the wall
Efficient, efficiency
efficiency, efficiency
Resurrect
as a feeling
on my window
of a past reunion
Resurrect
as a feeling
on my window
of a past reunion
Vision of a picture
like the city
and the air we breathe
the air we breathe,
air we breathe
She stood beside me once again
I knew her face,
we met before in the street
recalling all the children
dancing at our feet
the dancing feet,
Don't know the reason why I
Think I've been here before
This place seems so familiar
But then I can't be sure
Here comes that time again when
You'll walk right out the door
Don't tell me secrets anymore
And fools don't run away
You'll be followed another day
And all the chances that fall your way
Are in the fire on your dying day
So call me now and tell me that you're home
Can't see the sense in crying
There's too many tears to fall
My thoughts are multiplying
So I'll try to save them all
(repeat chorus)
So call me now and tell me that you're home
(repeat chorus twice)
Death's Door
Well I'm knocking on Death's door
Will I take my rest
Among the blessed?
Mother are you waiting?
Father are you pacing?
I'm coming home
I'm knocking on Death's door
Will I take my rest
In my sunday best?
Mother are you anxious?
Father are you gracious?
I'm coming home
I've been away too long
For so long it was strong
I've been away too long
I know that it was wrong
But I'm coming home
Well I'm knocking on Death's door
Will I take my rest?
Have I passed the test?
Mother are you praying?
Father I'm saying:
[An alternate version of 'Black Celebration']
Celebrate the fact
That we've seen the back
Of another black day
Celebrate the fact
That we've seen the back
Of another black day
Black day
Black day
I want to take you in my arms
Forgeting all I couldn't do today
Black day
I can't help it, I'm not sure what to do
Does seem crazy, no good for my health
I've seen the doctor, he's come to look at me
If you don't believe it, don't believe
Closer all the time, Closer all the time
Closer all the time, Closer all the time
Now I'm saying how I'm going to need a pill
I need you like a drug to keep my fill
I can't remember everything I do
Now I put them, it's only good to you
Closer all the time, Closer all the time
Closer all the time, Closer all the time
You can't help but look me in the eye
While I come running, I don't know why
It's an addiction, image of love
Your heart pushing, angel from above
Closer all the time, Closer all the time
Closer all the time, Closer all the time
Closer all the time, Closer all the time
Close!
Little 15
You help her forget
The world outside
You're not part of it yet
And if you could drive
You could drive her away
To a happier place
To a happier day
That exists in your mind
And in your smile
She could escape there
Just for a while
Little 15
Little 15
Why take the smooth with the rough
When things run smooth
It's already more than enough
She knows your mind
Is not yet in league
With the rest of the world
And it's little intrigues
Do you understand
Do you know what she means
As time goes by
And when you've seen what she's seen
You will
Little 15
Little 15
Why does she have to defend
Her feelings inside
Why pretend
She's not had a life
A life of near misses
Now all that she wants
Is 3 little wishes
She wants to see with your eyes
She wants to smile with your smile
She wants a nice surprise
Every once in a while
I want you now
Tomorrow won't do
There's a yearning inside
And it's showing through
Reach out your hands
And accept my love
We've waited for too long
Enough is enough
I want you now
My heart is aching
My body is burning
My hands are shaking
My head is turning
Do you understand
It's so easy to choose
We've got time to kill
We've got nothing to lose
I want you now
And I don't mean to sound
Like one of the boys
That's not what I'm trying to do
I don't want to be like one of the boys
I just want you now
Because I've got a love
A love that won't wait
A love that is growing
And it's getting late
Do you know what it means?
To be left this way
When everyone's gone
And the feelings they stay
My little girl
Drive anywhere
Do what you want
I don't care
Tonight
I'm in the hands of fate
I hand myself
Over on a plate
Oh little girl
There are times when I feel
I'd rather not be
The one behind the wheel
Come
Pull my strings
Whatch me move
I do anything
Please
Sweet little girl
I prefer
You behind the wheel
And me the passenger
Drive
I'm yours to keep
Do what you want
I'm going cheap
Tonight
Sometimes
Only sometimes
A question everything
And I'm the first to admit
If you catch me in a mood like this
I can be tiring
Even embarassing
But you must
Feel the same
When you look around
You can't tell me honestly
You're happy with what you see
Oh sometimes
You must be...
You must be...
As embarassing as me
Now hear this my friends
I'll never be the same again
Gonna lock myself in a cold black room
Put a shadow over myself and a veil of gloom
I will function, operate
I will be a satellite of hate
A satellite of hate
Driving to this point by a chain of events
Each one pushed me nearer the edge
Gonna send my message through to you
And you'll receive the signal too
I will function, operate
I will be a satellite of hate
A satellite of hate, higher, higher
Disillusioned, I was disenchanted
Forgot the love that had been implanted
Heard the lies and I felt the cold
It broke my heart and I lost control
Now I'm a satellite of instinct
I'm a satellite of hate
Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to you?
We always tried to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put you through
Things get damaged, things get broken
I thought we'd manage, but words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give
Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you
If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through
Things get damaged, things get broken
I thought we'd manage, but words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give
I pray you learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in your hearts for two
Things get damaged, things get broken
I thought we'd manage, but words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
Just give me a reason, some kind of sign
I'll need a miracle to help me this time
I heard what you said, and I feel the same
I know in my heart that I'll have to change
Even the stars look brighter tonight
Nothing's impossible
I still believe in love at first sight
Nothing's impossible
How did we get to be this far apart?
How did we get to be this far apart?
I want to be with you, something to share
I want to be near you, sometimes I care
Even the stars look brighter tonight
Nothing's impossible
I still believe in love at first sight
Nothing's impossible
Even the stars look brighter tonight
Nothing's impossible
If you believe in love at first sight
Nothing's impossible
I still believe in love at first sight
My secret garden's not so secret anymore
Run from the house holding my head in my hands
Feeling dejected, feeling like a child might feel
It all seems so absurd
That this should have occurred
My very only secret
And I had to go and leak it
My secret garden's not so secret anymore
No, my secret garden's not so secret anymore
Run trough the fields, down to the edge of the water
Can't stay long, here comes the reason why
She'll catch me if she can
Take me by the hand
I'll have to keep on running
And I just can't see the fun in
My secret garden's not being so secret anymore
It used to be so easy
On days such as these she'd
Search and search for hours
In among the flowers
I loved it, I loved her
I loved it, I loved her
Play the fool, act so cruel - I loved it
Read her book, take a look - I loved her
It all seems so absurd
That this should have occurred
My very only secret
And I had to go and leak it
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long way from home
A long way from home
True believer
A long way from home
I've been a martyr for love
And I will die in the flames
As I draw my last breath
As I close in on death
I will call out your name
I've been a martyr for love
Nailed up on the cross
While you're having your fun
As the damage is done
I'm assessing the cost
I knew what I was letting myself in for
I knew that I could never even the score
I've been a martyr for love
I need to be by your side
I have knelt at your feet
I have felt you deceit
Couldn't leave if I tried
I've been a martyr for love
Tortured every hour
From the day I was born
I've been moved like a pawn
By the greatest of powers
I knew that I would have to suffer in vain
Aware that I would never outgrow the pain
I've been a martyr for love
I've been a martyr for love
Overflowing senses, heightened awareness
I hear my blood flow, I feel its caress
Whispering cosmos talking right to me
Unlimited, endless, God breathing through me
See the microcosm in macro vision
Our bodies moving with pure precision
One universal celebration
One evolution, one creation
Thundering rhythm pounding within me
Driving me onwards, forcing me to see
Clear and enlightening, right there before me
Brilliantly shining intricate beauty
See the microcosm in macro vision
Our bodies moving with pure precision
One universal celebration
Set me free
(Chorus)
Remotivate me
Set me burning
After years your big freeze
My body is yearning
For a new lease of life
Who had a little fight
Set me free
Remotivate me
Give me a reason to scream and shout
Give me something to get excited about
When everything is looking dull
I'm sure it isn't impossible to
Set me free
Remotivate me
Remotivate Me
Set me burning
After years your big freeze
My body is yearning
For a new lease of life
And a little fight
Set me free
Remotivate me
Set me free
Remotivate me
Don't think I'm impatient
Because I'm willing to wait
But something must must happen
Before it gets too late
It could be my imagination
What could me more than this love sensation
Set me free
Remotivate me
Set me free
(Chorus)
Set me free
Remotivate me
Set me free
Remotivate me
Now say, babe...
I'm taking a ride with my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
He knows where he's taking me
Taking me where I want to be
I'm taking a ride with my best friend
We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground
I'm taking a ride with my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
Promises me I'm as safe as houses
As long as I remember who's wearing the trousers
I hope he never lets me down again
We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground
We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground
Never let me down
Never let me down
Never let me down
Girl of 16
Whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists
Bored with life
Didn't succed
Thank the lord
For small mercies
Fighting back the tears
Mother reads the note again
16 candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame
It's always the same
She goes down on her knees and prays
I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's
Got a sick sense of humour
And when I die
I expect to find
Him laughing
Girl of 18
Fell in love with everything
Found new life
In Jesus Christ
Hit by a car
Ended up
On a life support machine
Summer's day
As she passed away
Birds were singing
In the summer sky
Then came the rain
And once again
A tear fell
From her mother's eye
What are you hiding from?
You are part of the sum
What has been going on?
Your confidence has gone
You have seen better days
You have lived better ways
What are you waiting for?
Answers that question more
Uninvited they will come
Are you expecting some?
You have seen better days
You have lived better ways
Only time will tell
What will come of you
Only crime could sell
What you're trying to
Where are you heading to?
What plans will you pull through?
With trouble in the wings
Will you risk anything?
You have seen better days
You have bound my heart with subtle chains
So much pleasure that it feels like pain
So entwined now that we can't shake free
I am you and you are me
No escaping from the mess we're in
So much pleasure that it must be sin
I must live with this reality
I am yours eternally
There's no turning back
We're in this trap
No denying the facts
No, no, no
No excuses to give
I'm the one you're with
We've no alternative
No, no, no
Dark obsession in the name of love
This addiction that we're both part of
Leads us deeper into mystery
Keeps us craving endlessly
Strange compulsions that I can't control
Pure possession of my heart and soul
I must live with this reality
I am you and you are me
I am you and you are me
I am you and you are me
I am you and you are me
There's no turning back
We're in this trap
No denying the facts
No, no, no
No excuses to give
I'm the one you're with
We've no alternative
So tired so soon
What happened to you
What happened to you
You got lost
Somewhere between
There and here
Somewhere between
So far so near
You got lost
Somewhere between
What happened to you
Someone has been removed
What happened to her
What happened to her
She got lost
Somewhere between
There and here
Somewhere between
So far so near
She got lost
Somewhere between
What happened to her
You used to be so young
Used to be so young
It was going to take so long
It had almost gone
What is his name
What is his name
What is his name
I'm the ghost in your house
Calling your name
My memory lingers
You'll never be the same
I'm the hole in your heart
I'm the stain in your bed
The phantom in your fingers
The voices in your head
One touch is all it took
To draw you in
To leave you hooked
One kiss, you paid the price
You had a taste
Of paradise
Now you're running in circles
Chasing imaginary footsteps
Reaching for shadows
In the bed where I once slept
I'm the ghost in your house
Calling your name
My memory lingers
You'll never be the same
I'm the hole in your heart
I'm the stain in your bed
The phantom in your fingers
The voices in your head
One thought is all it takes
You lose control
You make mistakes
This pain will never leave
Until I die
You'll always grieve
Now you're falling to pieces
Seeing my face wherever you go
Talking to strangers
One subtle look
God help me
Is all it took
To sell me
One single word
Unspoken
Your name unheard
And I'm broken
The sun and the moon
and the stars in the sky
Are laughing
They've seen it all before
For the wind in the trees
and the waves on the seas
It's the same thing
They can't take any more
One gentle touch
and I'm helpless
It's all too much
For my senses
One simple prayer
Denied me
When you're not there
Beside me
The sun and the moon
and the stars in the sky
Are laughing
They've seen it all before
For the wind in the trees
and the waves on the seas
It's the same thing
Where were you when I fell from grace
Frozen heart, an empty space
Something's changing, it's in your eyes
Please don't speak, you'll only lie
I found treasure not where I thought
Peace of mind can't be bought
Still I believe
I just hang on
Suffer well
Sometimes it's hard
It's hard to tell
An angel led me when I was blind
I said take me back, I've changed my mind
Now I believe
From the blackest room, I was torn
You called my name, our love was born
So I believe
I just hang on
Suffer well
Sometimes it's hard
It's hard to tell
I just hang on
Suffer well
Sometimes it's hard
Let me take you on a trip
Let me take you on a trip
Let me take you on a trip
Let me take you on a trip
Around the world and back
Let me take you on a trip
Around the world and back
Let me take you on a trip
Around the world and back
Let me take you on a trip
Around the world and back
And you won't have to move
And you won't have to move
And you won't have to move
And you won't have to move
And you won't have to move
You just sit still
Let me show you the world in my eyes
Let me show you the world in my eyes
Let me show you the world in my eyes
Let me show you the world in my eyes
Let me show you the world in my eyes
Let me show you the world in my eyes
Let me take you on trip
Let me take you on trip, trip, trip, trip
Let me show you the world in my eyes
Let me show you the world in my eyes
Let me show you the world in my eyes
And do those feet in modern times
Walk upon the flowers and
Walk upon their brothers while their
Heads are busy lying low trying to keep to cover, oh
Something went wrong along the way
Everybody's waiting for Judgment Day
So they can go, "Told you so"
They can go, "Told you so"
Bring me my gun of itching desire
Bring me my bullets and I will fire
Sights set higher than the tall church spire
Something went wrong along the way
Everybody's waiting for Judgment Day
So they can go, "Told you so"
They can go, "Told you so"
They can go, "Told you so"
They can go, "Told you so"
Standing in line, the blind lead the blind
Waiting and waiting for an overdue sign
Brothers and sisters playing Chinese whispers
If things aren't suited then they'll get diluted
Here's one more dead with a hole in his head
He shouldn't have said all the things he said
Many tears were shed for the blood he bled
Something went wrong along the way
Everybody's waiting for Judgment Day
So they can go, "Told you so"
They can go, "Told you so"
They can go, "Told you so"
They can go, "Told you so"
They can go, "Told you so"
They can go, "Told you so"
They can go, "Told you so"
They can go, "Told you so"
Told you so, told you so, told you so
Told you so, told you so, told you so
The sweetest perfection
To call my own
The slightest correction
Couldn't find none
The sweetest infection
Of body and mind
The sweetest injection
Of any kind
I stop and I stare too much
I stop and I care too much
And I hardly dare to touch
For fear that the spell may be broken
When I need a drug in me
And it brings out the thug in me
Feel something tugging me
Than I want the real things not tokens
The sweetest perfection
To call my own
The slightest correction
Couldn't find none
The sweetest infection
Of body and mind
The sweetest injection
Of any kind
Thing you expect to be
Having effect on me
Pass undetectedly
But everyone knows what has got me
Takes me completely
Touches so sweetly
I know that nothing can stop me
The sweetest injection
As offer was made
As assorted collection ...
But I wouldn't trade
The sweetest perfection
Takes me completely
Touches so sweetly
Reaches so deeply
Taken in by the delicate noise
Knocked to the ground by the subtle thunder
Shackled and bound by the sound of your voice
Wandering around in silent wonder
What chance did I have
With the silver moon
Hanging in the sky
Opening old wounds
Taking hold of the hem of your dress
Cleanliness only comes in small doses
Bodily whole but my head's in a mess
Fuelling obsession that borders psychosis
It's a sad disease
Creeping through my mind
Causing disabilities
Of the strangest kind
Getting lost in the folds of your skirt
There's a price that I pay for my mission
A body in heaven and a mind full of dirt
How I suffer the sweetest condition
Taken in by the delicate noise
Knocked to the ground by the subtle thunder
Shackled and bound by the sound of your voice
Oh, Lilian
Look what you've done
You've stripped my heart
Ripped it apart in the name of fun
Oh, Lilian
I'm a poor man's son
And precious jewels
Weren't found in schools where I came from
Pain and misery always hit the spot
Knowing you can't lose what you haven't got
Oh, Lilian
I should have run
I should have known
Each dress you own is a loaded gun
Oh, Lilian
Oh, Lilian
I need protection
I hear your voice
And any choice I had is gone
Oh, Lilian
Once I begun
I couldn't stop
'Til every drop of blood was sung
Pain and misery always hit the spot
Knowing you can't lose what you haven't got
Oh, Lilian
Look what you've done
You stripped my heart
Ripped it apart in the name of fun
Oh, Lilian
Oh, Lilian
Oh, Lilian
I'm gonna take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above
The gods decree
You'll be right here by my side
Right next to me
You can run but you cannot hide
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good
I'll be fine
I'll be waiting patiently
Till you see the signs
And come running to my open arms
When will you realize
Do we have to wait 'til our worlds collide
Open up your eyes
You can't turn back the tide
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good
I'm going to take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
This is an insight
Into my life
This is a strange flight
I'm taking
My true will carries me along
This is a soul dance
Embracing me
This is the first chance
To put things right
Moving on guided by the light
And the spirit of love
Is rising within me
Talking to you now
Telling you clearly
The fire still burns
Wisdom of ages
Rush over me
Heighten my senses
Enlighten me
Lead me on, eternally
And the spirit of love
Is rising within me
Talking to you now
Telling you clearly
The fire still burns
And the spirit of love
Is rising within me
Talking to you now
Telling you clearly
The fire still burns
I'm talking to you now
The fire still burns
Whatever you do now
The world still turns
I'm talking to you now
The fire still burns
Whatever you do now
The world still turns
I'm talking to you now
You gotta give love
You gotta give love
You gotta give love
Give love
In a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That I could never forget the way
You told me everything
By saying nothing
In a manner of speaking
I don't understand
How love in silence becomes reprimand
But the way I feel about you
Is beyond words
Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything
In a manner of speaking
Semantics won't do
In this life that we live
We only make do
And the way that we feel
Might have to be sacrificed
So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That like you I should find a way
To tell you everything
By saying nothing
Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Oh give me the words
Give me the words
Give me the words
Give me the words
Words like violence break the silence
Come crashing in into my little world
Painful to me, pierce right through me
Can't you understand, oh my little girl?
All I ever wanted, all I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Words are spoken to be broken
Feelings are intense, words are trivial
Pleasures remain, so does their pain
Words are meaningless and forgettable
All I ever wanted, all I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
All I ever wanted, all I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
All I ever wanted, all I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Enjoy the silence, enjoy the silence
Condemnation, tried
Here on the stand
With the book in my hand
Truth on my side
Accusations, lies
Hand me my sentence
I'll show no repentance
I'll suffer with pride
If for honesty you want apologies
I don't sympathize
If for kindness you substitute blindness
Please, open your eyes
Condemnation, why?
Because my duty
Was always to beauty
And that was my crime
Feel elation, high
To know I can trust this
Fix of injustice
Time after time
If you see purity as immaturity
Well, it's no surprise
If for kindness you substitute blindness
Please, open your eyes
Charms in limited supply
And refusing to stretch
That indefinable nothing
Somehow keeps pushing you
Finding the right words
Can be a problem
How many times must it be said
There's no plan
It had to happen
Got to move on sometime
And it's about time
By putting one foot in front on another
And repeating the process
Cross over the street
You're free to change your mind
Strength through diversity
Couldn't have put it more plainly
Got to move on sometime
Got to move on sometime
Got to move on sometime
Got to move on sometime
Charms in limited supply
Under threat of extinction
That indefinable nothing
Somehow motivates you
Finding the right words
Can be a problem
How many times must it be said
There's no plan
It had to happen
Got to move on sometime
And it's about time
By putting one foot in front on another
And repeating the process
Cross over the street
You're free to change your mind
Strength through diversity
Couldn't have put it more plainly
Clean
The cleanest I've been
An end to the tears
And the in-between years
And the troubles I've seen
Now that I'm clean
You know what I mean
I've broken my fall
Put an end to it all
I've changed my routine
Now I'm clean
I don't understand
What destiny's planned
But I'm starting to grasp
What is in my own hands
I don't claim to know
Where my holiness goes
I just know that I like
What is starting to show
Sometimes ...
Clean ...
As years go by
All the feelings inside
Twist and they turn
As they ride with the tide
I don't advise
And I don't criticise
I just know what like
With my own eyes
Sometimes
Clean
Oh God, it's raining but I'm not complaining
It's filling me up with new life
The stars in the sky bring tears to my eyes
They're lighting my way tonight
And I haven't felt so alive
In years
Just for a day on a day like today
I'll get away from this constant debauchery
The wind in my hair makes me so aware
How good it is to live tonight
And I haven't felt so alive
In years
The moon is shining in the sky
Reminding me of so many other nights
But they're not like tonight
Oh God, it's raining and I'm not containing
My pleasure at being so wet
Here on my own, all on my own
How good it feels to be alone tonight
And I haven't felt so alive
In years
The moon is shining in the sky
Reminding me of so many other nights
When my eyes have been so red
I've been mistaken for dead
Death is everywhere
There are flies on the windscreen
For a start
Reminding us
We could be torn apart
Tonight
Death is everywhere
There are lambs for the slaughter
Waiting to die
And I can sense
The hours slipping by
Tonight
Come here
Kiss me
Come here
Kiss me
Death is everywhere
The more I look
The more I see
The more I feel
A sense of urgency
Tonight
Come here
Touch me
Kiss me
Touch me
Touch me
Touch me
There are flies on the windscreen
There are lambs for the slaughter
Light switch, main switch
Film was broken only then
All night news tomorrow
Dancing with a distant friend
Filming and screening
I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming
Dreaming of me, yeah
A story of understanding
Clean cut song was sounding vast
I talked too fast, I talked too fluent
I laughed and climbed a rising cast
Quickly I remember
I`ve used that sort of face before
Time increases understanding
Ooh, I've been dirt
And I don't care
Ooh, I've been dirt
And I don't care
'Cause I'm burning inside
'Cause I'm yearning inside
And I'm the fire of life
Yeah alright
Ooh, I've been hurt
And I don't care
Ooh, I've been hurt
And I don't care
'Cause I'm burning inside
'Cause I'm yearning inside
And do you feel it?
Said do you feel it
When you touch me?
I said do you feel it
When you touch me?
I'm fire
Well, it's a fire
Yeah alright
Oh it's just a burning inside
Oh it's just a yearning inside
Said do you feel it?
I said do you feel it
When you cut me?
Said do you feel it
When you cut me?
It's a fire, it's a fire
I'm a fire inside
wrong
wrong
wrong
wrong
I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
I used the wrong method with the wrong technique
Wrong
Wrong
There's something wrong with me chemically
Something wrong with me inherently
The wrong mix in the wrong genes
I reached the wrong ends by the wrong means
It was the wrong plan
In the wrong hands
The wrong theory for the wrong man
The wrong eyes on the wrong prize
The wrong questions with the wrong replies
Wrong
Wrong
I was marching to the wrong drum
With the wrong scum
Pissing out the wrong energy
Using all the wrong lines
And the wrong signs
With the wrong intensity
I was on the wrong page of the wrong book
With the wrong rendition of the wrong look
With the wrong moon, every wrong night
With the wrong tune playing till it sounded right yeah
Wrong
Wrong
(Too long)
Wrong
(Too long)
I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
I used the wrong method with the wrong technique
You got to work hard, you got to work hard
If you want any at all
Nothing comes easy
And that's a fact
Nothing comes easy
But a broken back
You got to work hard, you got to work hard
If you want any at all
You got to work hard, you got to work hard
If you want any at all
Nothing comes easy
It never will
Nothing comes easy
But a broken will
You got to work hard, you got to work hard
If you want any at all
You got to work hard
So work hard!
To the soul's desires
The body listens
What the flesh requires
Keeps the heart imprisoned
What the spirit seeks
The mind will follow
When the body speaks
All else is hollow
I'm just an angel
Driving blindly
Through this world
I'm just a slave here
At the mercy
Of a girl
Oh I need your tenderness
Oh I need your touch
Oh I dream of one caress
Oh I pray too much
To the soul's desires
The body listens
What the flesh requires
Keeps the heart imprisoned
What the spirit seeks
The mind will follow
When the body speaks
All else is hollow
You keep me waiting
For the promise
That is mine
Please stop debating
Please stop wasting
Your time
Oh I need your tenderness
Oh I need your touch
Oh I dream of one caress
You had something to hide
Should have hidden it shouldn't you
Now you're not satisfied
With what you're being put through
It's just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And deciding in your youth
On the policy of truth
Things could be so different now
It used to be civilized
You will always wonder how
It could have been if you'd only lied
It's too late to change events
It's time to face the consequence
For delivering the proof
In the policy the truth
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Now you're standing there tongue tied
You'd better learn your lesson well
Hide what you have to hide
And tell what you have to tell
You'll see your problems multiplied
If you continually decide
To faithfully pursue
In the policy the truth
I would tell you about the things
They put me through.
The pain I've been subjected to.
But the Lord himself would blush.
The countless feasts laid at my feet,
Forbidden fruits for me to eat.
But I think your pulse would start to rush.
Now I'm not looking for absolution,
Forgiveness for the things I do.
But before you come to any conclusions -
Try walking in my shoes,
Try walking in my shoes.
You'll stumble in my footsteps,
Keep the same appointments I kept.
If you try walking in my shoes.
If you try walking in my shoes.
Morality would frown upon,
Decency look down upon.
The scapegoat fate's made of me.
But I promise now, my judge and jurors,
My intentions couldn't have been purer.
My case is easy to see.
I'm not looking for a clearer conscience,
Peace of mind after what I've been through.
And before we talk of any repentance -
Try walking in my shoes.
Try walking in my shoes.
You'll stumble in my footsteps,
Keep the same appointments I kept.
If you try walking in my shoes.
If you try walking in my shoes.
Try walking in my shoes.
Now I'm not looking for absolution,
Forgiveness for the things I do.
But before you come to any conclusions -
Try walking in my shoes.
Try walking in my shoes.
You'll stumble in my footsteps,
Keep the same appointments I kept.
If you try walking in my shoes.
Try walking in my shoes.
If you try walking in my shoes.
I'm waiting for the night to fall
I know that it will save us all
When everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark reality
I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel is tranquility
There is a star in the sky
Guiding my way with it's light
And in the glow of the moon
Know my deliverance will come soon
I'm waiting for the night to fall
I know that it will save us all
When everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark reality
I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel is tranquility
There is a sound in the calm
Someone is coming to harm
I press my hands to my ears
It's easier here just to forget fear
And when I squinted the world seemed rose-tinted
And angels appeared to descend
To my surprise with half closed eyes
Things looked even better than when they were opened
Been waiting for the night to fall
I knew that it would save us all
Now everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark reality
Been waiting for the night to fall
Now everything is bearable
And here in the still
Well it's about time
It's beginning to hurt
Time you made up your mind
Just what is it all worth
All my useless advice
All my hanging around
All your cutting down to size
All my bringing you down
Watch the clock on the wall
Feel the slowing of time
Hear a voice in the hall
Echoing in my mind
All your stupid ideals
Got your head in the clouds
You should see how it feels
With your feet on the ground
Here I stand the accused
With your fist in my face
Feeling tired and bruised
With the bitterest taste
All my useless advice
All my hanging around
All your cutting down to size
All my bringing you down
All your stupid ideals
Got your head in the clouds
You should see how it feels
They were raining from the sky
Exploding in my heart
Is this their love in disguise
Or just a form of modern art
From the skies
You could almost hear the cry
Tora! Tora! Tora!
In the towns
They are going down
Tora! Tora! Tora!
I had a nightmare only yesterday
You played a skeleton
You took my love then died that day
I played an American
I need to be cleansed
It's time to make amends
For all of the fun
The damage is done
And I feel diseased
I'm down on my kness
And I need forgiveness
Someone to bear witness
To the goodness within
Beneath the sin
Although I may flirt
With all kinds of dirt
To the point of disease
Now I want release
From all this decay
Take it away
And somewhere
There's someone who cares
With a heart of gold
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
But they know me better than that
They know me better than that
They know my weaknesses
I never tried to hide them
They know my weaknesses
I never denied them
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
How can a view become so twisted
How can a view become so twisted
They know my weaknesses
I never tried to hide them
They know my weaknesses
You tried them
I get so carried away
You brought me down to earth
I thought we had something precious
Now I know what it's worth
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I've never felt so disappointed
Never felt so disappointed
They know my weaknesses
I never tried to hide them
They know my weaknesses
Thought that you liked them
Someone will call
Something will fall
And smash on the floor
Without reading the text
Know what comes next
Seen it before
And it's painful
Things must change
We must rearrange them
Or we'll have to estrange them
All that I'm saying
A game's not worth playing
Over and over again
You're the one I like best
You retain my interest
You're the only one
If it wasn't for you
Don't know what I'd do
Unpredictable like the sun
A white house, a white room
The program of today
Light`s on, switch on
Your eyes are far away
The map represents you
And the tape is your voice
Follow all along you
Till you recognize the choice
I take pictures, photographic pictures
Bright light, dark room
I said I`d write a letter
But I never got the time
And I`m looking to the day
I mesmerize at night
The years I spent just thinking
Of a moment we both knew
A second past like in empty room
It seems it can`t be true
I've read more than a hundred books
Seeing love mentioned many thousand times
But despite all the places I've looked
It's still no clearer
It's just not enough
I'm still no clearer
The meaning of love
Noted down all my observations
Spent an evening watching television
Still I couldn't say with precision
Know it's a feeling and it comes from above
But what's the meaning
The meaning of love
(Tell me)
From the notes that I've made so far
Love seems something like wanting a scar
But I could be wrong
I'm just not sure you see
I'm never been in love before
Next I asked several friends of mine
If they could spare a few minutes of their time
Their looks suggested that I've lost my mind
Tell me the answer
My Lord high above
Tell me the meaning
The meaning of love
From the notes that I've made so far
Love seems something like wanting a scar
But I could be wrong
I'm just not sure you see
I'm never been in love before
The meaning of love
(Tell me)
The landscape is changing
The landscape is crying
Thousands of acres of forest are dying
Carbon copies from the hills above the forest line
Acid streams are flowing I'll across the countryside
Cause I don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world
I don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world
Now we are re-arranging
There is no use denying
Mountains and valleys, can't you hear them sighing
Evolution. The solution or the certainty
Can you imagine this instrusion of their privacy
I don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world
Token cestures, some semblance of intelligence
We're the horniest boys
With the corniest ploys
Who take the easiest girls
To our sleaziest worlds
With our lecherous plans
In our treacherous hands
You'd be wasting your time
Saying no, it's a crime
All that we live for you'll regret
All you remember we'll forget
We are the dead of night
We're in the zombie room
We're twilight's parasites
With self-inflicted wounds
We are the dead of night
We're in the zombie room
Heavenly oversights
Eating from silver spoons
With our decadent minds
And our innocent lines
You'll be playing our games
With your bodies in flames
When delirious fun
Has seriously begun
You'll be down on your knees
You'll be begging us please
All we're demanding you'll supply
All we're accused of we'll deny
We are the dead of night
We're in the zombie room
We're twilight's parasites
With self-inflicted wounds
We are the dead of night
We're in the zombie room
Heavenly oversights
Like a cat dragged in from the rain
Who goes straight back out
To do it all over again
I'll be back for more
It's something that is out of our hands
Something we will never understand
It's a hidden law, the apple falls
Destiny calls, I follow you
Like a pawn on the eternal board
Who's never quite sure
What he's moved towards
I walk blindly on
And Heaven is in front of me
Your Heaven beckons me enticingly
When I arrive it's gone, the river flows
The wise man knows, I follow you
I'm yearning, I'm burning
I feel love's wheels turning
Like a moth on love's bright light
I will get burned each and every night
I'm dying to, the sun will shine
The bottom line, I follow you
I'm yearning, I'm burning
I feel love's wheels turning
Like a moth on love's bright light
I will get burned each and every night
I'm dying to, the sun will shine
The bottom line, I follow you
The sun will shine
The bottom line, I follow you
The sun will shine
The bottom line, I follow you
The sun will shine
Laying on your holy bed by the hallowed door
Feeling like an infidel not worthy of your call
Tempted by your innocence beckoned to my fate
I won't face the consequence, I wouldn't hesitate
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture, rushing through my veins
Passion, flaming, in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah
Shackled like an animal chained to my desires
Just another sacrifice to love's eternal fires
Tame me with your tenderness and break my brittle heart
Easily and elegantly tear my world apart
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture, rushing through my veins
Passion, flaming, in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah
We're living in a world full of illusion
Everything is so unreal
My mind is in a state of confusion
But I can't deny the way I feel
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture, rushing through my veins
Passion, flaming, in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture, rushing through my veins
Passion, flaming, in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture, rushing through my veins, yeah
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Come with me
Into the trees
We'll lay on the grass
And let the hours pass
Take my hand
Come back to the land
Let's get away
Just for one day
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Metropolis
Has nothing on this
You're breathing's in fumes
I taste when we kiss
Take my hand
Come back to the land
Where everything's ours
For a few hours
Let me hear you make decisions
Without your television
Let me hear you speaking just for me
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me hear you speaking
Just for me
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me hear you crying
There'll be times
When my crimes
Will seem almost unforgivable
I give in to sin
Because you have to make this life liveable
But when you think I've had enough
From your sea of love
I'll take more than another riverfull
And I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile
Strangelove
Strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove
That's how my love goes
Strangelove
Will you give it to me
Will you take the pain
I will give it to you
Again and again
And will you return it
There'll be day's
When I'll stray
I may appear to be
Constantly out of reach
I give in to sin
Becouse I like to practise what I preach
I'm not trying to say
I'll have it all my way
I'm almays willing to learn
When you've got something to teach
And I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile
Pain will you return it
I'll say it again - pain
Pain will you return it
I won't say it again
I give in
Again and again
I give in
Will you give it to me
I give in
I'll say it again
I give in
I give in
Again and again
I give in
That's how my love goes
I give in
I'll say it again
Take a look on unselected cases
You'll find love has been wrecked
By both sides compromising
Amounting to a disastrous effect
You hear stories of old
Of all princes bold
With riches untold
Happy souls
Casting it all aside
To take some bride
To have the girl of their dreams
At their side
But not me
I couldn't do that
Not me
I'm not like that
I couldn't sacrifice
Anything at all
To love
I really like you
I'm attracted to you
The way you move
The things you do
I'll probably burn in hell
For saying this
But I'm really in heaven
Whenever we kiss
But oh no!
You won't change me
You can try
For an eternity
I wouldn't sacrifice
Anything at all
To love
Now I've got things to do
You have too
And I've got to be me
You've got to be you
So take my hand
And feel these lips
And let's savour a kiss
Like we'd savour a sip
Of vintage wine
One more time
Let's surrender
To this love divine
But we won't sacrifice
Anything at all
Here
As I sit
At this empty cafe
Thinking of you
I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we'll never
Find again
Though the world
Is my oyster
It's only a shell
Full of memories
Here by the Seine
Notre-Dame casts
A long lonely shadow
Now only sorrow
No tomorrow
There's no today for us
Nothing is there
For us to share
But yesterday
This is my song
This is my song
This is my song
These cities may change
But there always remains
My obsession
Through silken waters
My gondola glides
And the bridge
it sighs
I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we'll never
Find again
There's no more time for us
Nothing is there
For us to share
But yesterdays
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we'll never
Find again
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we'll never
Find again
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we'll never
My little girl
Won't you come with me
Come with me
Tell me
Is there something to do
Is there something to do
Is there something to do
Is there something to do
I'm going crazy with boredom
Come with me
Tell me
Is there something to do...
Grey sky over a black town
I can feel depression
All around
You've got your leather boots on
Is there something to do...
I can't stand another drink
It's surprising this town
Doesn't sink
You're got your leather boots on
Is there something to do...
Your pretty dress is oil stained
From working too hard
For too little
You've got your leather boots on
Is there something to do...
You're feeling the boredom too
I'd gladly go with you
I'd put your leather boots on
Is there something to do...
I'd put your pretty dress on
Is there something to do
I want somebody to share, share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts, know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side and give me support
And in return she'll get my support
She will listen to me when I want to speak
About the world we live in and life in general
Though my views may be wrong, they may even be perverted
She'll hear me out, and won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking in fact she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all she will understand me
I want somebody who cares for me passionately
With every thought and with every breath
Someone who'll help me see things in a different light
All the things I detest I will almost like
I don't want to be tied to anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear of those things
But when I'm asleep I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me, kiss me tenderly
Though things like this make me sick
In a case like this I'll get away with it
Ooh ohh
You turned me away
Away from your actions
Forced by the violence
That always surrounds you
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
You burnt yourself out
In that silence
I have to tell you
I ache for you still
The sound of my words
Is always so shocking
They get much louder
Each time I speak
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
Signals of progress
We're growing much older
I'm afraid that I'll leave
And my ache never goes
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
I want your special smile
Plans made in nursery
Can change the course of history
Remember that!
Mummy's annoyed says go and play
Don't show your face
Stay away all day
Shouldn't have done that!
A small boy and his infantry
Marching around so naturally
Shouldn't have done that!
Grows up and goes to school
Such a nice boy obeys all the rules
Mummy's proud of that
Leaves school to follow his ambition
Knows what he wants
To be a politician
I'm not going down on my knees
Begging You to adore me
Cant you see it's misery
And Torture for me
When I'm misunderstood
Try as hard as you can
I tried as hard I could
To make you see
How important it is for me
Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how hard it is for me
To shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these
Understand me
Some people have to be
permenantly together
Lovers devoted
to each other forever
Now I got things to do
and i said before
That I know you have to
When I'm not there
In spirit I'll be there
Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how hard it is for me
To shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these
Understand me
Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how hard it is for me.
To shake the disease
All I want to do is see you again
Is that too much to ask for?
I just want to see your sweet smile
Smiled the way it was before
Well I'll try not to hold you
And I'll try not to kiss you
And I won't even touch you
And all I want to do is see you
Don't you know that it's true
I remember the days when we walked trough the woods
We'd sit on a bench for a while
I treasure the way we used to laugh and play
And look in each other eyes
You can keep me at distance
If you don't trust my resistance
But I swear I won't touch you
All I want to do is see you
Don't you know that it's true
Well I know five years is a long time and that times changed
But I think that you'll find people are basically the same
If the water's still flowing we can go for a swim
And do the things we used to do
And if I'm reluctant you can pull me in
We can relive our youth
But we'll just stay friendly like sister and brother
Though I think I still love you
All I want to do is see you
Sacred, holy
To put it in words, to write it down
That is walking on hallowed ground
But it's my duty, I'm a missionary
So here is my confession, it's an obsession
I'm a firm believer and a warm receiver
And Ive made my decision, this is religion
There's no doubt I'm one of the devout
Trying to sell the story
Of love's eternal glory
Sacred, holy
To put it in words, to write it down
That is walking on hallowed ground
But it's my duty, I'm a missionary
Spreading the news around the world, taking the word to boys and girls
I'm a firm believer and a warm receiver
And I will go down on my knees when I see beauty
There's no doubt I'm one of the devout
Trying to sell the story
Of love's eternal glory
Sacred, holy
To put it in words, to write it down
That is walking on hallowed ground
But it's my duty, I'm a missionary
Sacred, holy
Sacred, holy
To put it in words, to write it down
That is walking on hallowed ground
To put it in words, to write it down
That is walking on hallowed ground
To put it in words, to write it down
That is walking on hallowed ground
To put it in words, to write it down
That is walking on hallowed ground
To put it in words, to write it down
That is walking on hallowed ground
To put it in words, to write it down
Well, if you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way, take the highway, that's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well it winds from Chicago to L. A.
More than two thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well it goes to St. Louis, down to Missouri
Oklahoma City looks oh, so pretty
You'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona, don't forget Wynonna
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino
You get hip to this kind of trip
I'm gonna take that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well it goes to St. Louis, down to Missouri
Oklahoma City looks oh, so pretty
You'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona, don't forget Wynonna
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino
You get hip to this kind of trip
I'm gonna take that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino
If you get hip to this kind of trip
I'm gonna take that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
I've got to get to you first
Before they do
It's just a question of time
Before they lay their hands on you
And make you just like the rest
I've got to get to you first
It's just a question of time
Well now you're only fifteen
And you look good
I'll take you under my wing
Somebody should
They've persuasive ways
And you believe what they say
It's just a question of time
And it's running out for you
It won't be long
Until you do
Exactly what they want you to
I can see them now
Hanging around
To mess you up
To strip you down
And have their fun
With my little one
Sometimes I don't blame them
For wanting you
You look good
And they need something to do
Until I look at you
And then I condemn them
I know my kind
What goes on in our minds
It's just a question of time
It should be better (with you)

Words by Martin L. Gore
Fragile
Like a baby in your arms
Be gentle with me
I'd never willingly
Do you harm
Apologies
Are all you seem to get from me
But just like a child
You make me smile
When you care for me
And you know...
It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep up together
Independence
Is still important for us though (we realise)
It's easy to make
The stupid mistake
Of letting go (do you know what I mean)
My weaknesses
You know each and every one (it frightens me)
But I need to drink
More than you seem to think
Before I'm anyone's
And you know...
Kiss me goodbye
When I'm on my own
But you know that I'd
Rather be home
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Words by Martin L. Gore
You had something to hide
Should have hidden it, shouldn't you?
Now you're not satisfied
With what you're being put through
It's just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And deciding in your youth
On the policy of truth
Things could be so different now
It used to be so civilized
You will always wonder how
It could have been if you'd only lied
It's too late to change events
It's time to face the consequence
For delivering the proof
In the policy of truth
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Now you're standing there tongue tied
You better learn your lesson well
Hide what you have to hide
And tell what you have to tell
You'll see your problems multiplied
If you continually decide
To faithfully pursue
The policy of truth
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
On another world by another star
At another place and time
In another state of consciousness
In another state of mind
Everything was almost perfect
Everything fell into place
That you may reach a different verdict
Before the judge dismissed the case
In a parallel universe
That's happening right now
Things between us must be worse
But it's hard to see just how
And everything could have been perfect
Everything in the right place
Then I wouldn't have to play the suspect
Accused, abandoned and disgraced
I didn't choose, I didn't pull the trigger
It wasn't me, I'm just a plain and simple singer
I heard the sound, I turned my head around
To watch our love shot down
In another lonely universe
We're laying side by side
Where no one's hurt and no one's cursed
And no one needs to hide
And everything is almost perfect
Everything is almost right
There are never any conflicts
There are never any fights
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get
Along so awfully
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get
Along so awfully
So we're different colours
And we're different creeds
And different people have different needs
It's obvious you hate me
Though I've done nothing wrong
I've never ever met you so what could I have done
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people...
Help me understand
Help me understand
Now you're punching
And you're kicking
And you're shouting at me
I'm relying on your common decency
So far it hasn't surfaced
But I'm sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel
From your head to your fists
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Peace will come to me
Peace will come to me
I'm leaving bitterness behind
This time I'm cleaning up my mind
There is no space for the regrets
I will remember to forget
Just look at me
I am walking of incoming
Look at the frequencies of which I vibrate
I'm going to light up the world
Peace will come to me
Peace will come to me
I'm leaving anger in the past
With all the shadows that it caused
There is radar in my heart
I should have trusted from the start
Just look at me
I am a living act of holiness
Giving all the positive virtues that I possess
I'm going to light up the world
Peace will come to me
Just wait and see
Peace will come to me
It's meant to be
Peace will come to me
Just wait and see
Peace will come to me
It's inevitability
Kill the pain
Kill the pain
The world
You know you got me hurtin'
I wants to kill, I wants to kill the pain
The world
You know you got me hurtin'
I wants to kill, I wants to kill the pain
The world
You know you got me hurtin'
I wants to kill, I wants to kill the pain
Uh, my stereo man is my number one high
The world
I wants to kill, I wants to kill the pain
Kill the pain, kill the pain
The world
It's Only When I Lose Myself in someone else
Then I find myself
I find myself
It's Only When I Lose Myself in someone else
Then I find myself
I find myself
Something beautiful is happening inside for me
Something sensual, it's full of fire and mystery
I feel hypnotized, I feel paralized
I have found heaven
There's a thousand reasons
Why I should not spent my time with you
For every reason not to be here I can think of two
Keep me hanging on
Feeling nothing's wrong
Inside your heaven
It's Only When I Lose Myself in someone else
Then I find myself
I find myself
It's Only When I Lose Myself in someone else
Then I find myself
I find myself
I can feel the emptiness inside me fade & disappear
There's a feeling of content that now you are here
I feel satisfied
I belong inside
Your velvet heaven
Did I need to sell my soul
For pleasure like this
Did I have to lose control
To treasure your kiss
Did I need to place my heart
In the palm of your hand
Before I could even start
To understand
It's Only When I Lose Myself in someone else
Then I find myself
I find myself
It's Only When I Lose Myself in someone else
That I find my life
I find myself
It's Only When I Lose Myself in someone else
Then I find myself
I saw you in the picture
I saw you play the part
This ain`t nodisco
There`s a thousand watching you
And you take this too far
This ain`t nodisco
Sometimes when I wonder
If you`re taking a chance
This ain`t nodisco
And you know how to dance
Move me disco
Baby don`t you let go
This ain`t nodisco
Part one, act one
Everyone pretend
This ain`t nodisco
This is no story
And they`re reaching the end
This ain`t nodisco
Always makes me happy
When you`re taking a chance
This ain`t nodisco
Newborn for the first time
I'm not born again
I have never lived at all
I've opened up my eyes
Now I hear the world talking
Opened up my eyes
I've just started walking
I've just started walking
I've got someone who cares for me
Someone who believes in me
I've got someone understanding me
Someone crying over me
For all the right reasons
For all the right reasons
Newborn for the first time
I'm not born again
I have never lived at all
I've opened up my eyes
Now I hear the world talking
Opened up my eyes
I've just started walking
I've just started walking
I've got someone seeing grace in me
Someone respecting me
I've got someone who's there for me
Someone saying prayers for me
For all the right reasons
For all the right reasons
For all the right reasons
Sex jibe husband murders wife
Bomb blast victim fights for life
Girl thirteen attacked with knife
Princess Di is wearing a new dress
Jet airliner shot from sky
Famine horror millions die
Earthquake terror figures rise
Princess Di is wearing a new dress
You can't change the world
But you can change the facts
And when you change the facts
You change points of view
If you change points of view
You may change a vote
And when you change a vote
You may change the world
In black townships fires blaze
Prospects better premier says
Within sight are golden days
Princess Di is wearing a new dress

Pleasure, little treasure
Pleasure, little treasure
Everybody's looking for a reason to live
If you're looking for a reason
I've a reason to give
Pleasure, little treasure
Everybody's looking for a new sensation
Everybody's talking about the state of the nation
Everybody's looking for a promised land
Everybody's failing to understand
Pleasure, little treasure
Everybody's looking for a reason to live
If you're looking for a reason
I've a reason to give
Pleasure, little treasure
Everybody's looking for someone to follow
Finding the whole thing hard to swallow
Everybody's looking for a reason to live
If you're looking for a reason
I've got a reason to give
Pleasure, little treasure
Everybody's looking for a reason to live
If you're looking for a reason
I've got a reason to give
Pleasure, little treasure
Maternity frocks and paternity suits
If that's what you want
They're waiting for you
Everybody needs some reason or other
You'll find the reason when you discover
Pleasure, little treasure
Everybody's looking for a reason to live
If you're looking for a reason
I've a reason to give
Pleasure, little treasure
@SONG: SEA OF SIN -- Released on single with "World in My Eyes"
Sea of Sin I'm spinning in and I'm taking a dive
My mind's in need so my body feeds and it keeps me alive
It gets better and better as it gets wetter and wetter
Sea of Sin know where you've been but I don't care
Sea of Sin through thick and thin "oh and betting with words"
My mind's in need so my body feeds and it quenches my thirst
You look cheaper and cheaper as we sink deeper and deeper
Sea of Sin know where you've been 'cause I've been there
Here under God's fire
His watchful eye
And all of the lies
My consolation prize
Sea of Sin my second skin my other home
when I'm in doubt my hands reach out and I'm never alone
It gets wetter and wetter as it gets better and better
Sea of Sin know where you've been and I'm prepared
Sea of Sin know where you've been yes I'm aware
Sea of Sin know where you've been 'cause I've been there
Sea of Sin know where you've been and I don't care
When the site was found
We laid the foundations down
It didn't take long before
They came back tumbling down
Don't build at night
You need a little light
How else you going to see
What it is going to be like!
So we picked up our tools
And we warked in the morning light
With the last stone placed
Wasn't it a wonderful sight
But it fell back down
And scattered all around
Anything passes
When you need glosses!
My monument it fell down
My monument it fell down
Wark all of my days for this kind of praise
It fell down
It's one of those conversations
We've, we've had them before
The ones that leave you empty
And wanting for more
Your eyes they tell me something
That I understand
Your eyes they hold the truth
And the truth is
You're miles away
You're miles away
You're miles away
Excuse me for my hesitation
I've met you before
Your face seems so familiar
And longing for more
Your eyes they tell me something
That I understand
Your eyes they hold the truth
And the truth is
You're miles away
You're miles away
You're miles away
With all your superstitions
And empty lines
I could be just like you
Withdrawn but alive
Life, it has its limitations
We all have our needs
Love could be the only answer
It lies underneath
Your eyes they tell me something
That I understand
Your eyes they hold the truth
And the truth is
You're miles away
You're miles away
You're miles away
It's a lot
It's a lot
Like life
There's a new game
We like to play you see
A game with added reality
You treat me like a dog
Get me down on my knees
We call it master and servant
We call it master and servant
It's a lot like life
This play between the sheets
With you on top and me underneath
Forget all about equality
Let's play master and servant
Let's play master and servant
It's a lot like life
And thats what's appealing
If you despise that throwaway feeling
From disposable fun
Then this is the one
Domination's the name of the game
In bed or in life
They're both just the same
Except in one you're fulfilled
At the end of the day
Let's play master and servant
Let's play master and servant
Let's play master and servant
Overflowing senses
Heightened awareness
I hear my blood flow
I feel its caress
Whispering cosmos
Talking right to me
Unlimited, endless
God breathing through me
See the microcosm in macro vision
Our bodies moving with pure precision
One universal celebration
One evolution, one creation
Thundering rhythm
Pounding within me
Driving me onwards
Forcing me to see
Clear and enlightening
Right there before me
Brilliantly shining
Intricate beauty
See the microcosm in macro vision
Our bodies moving with pure precision
One universal celebration
One evolution, one creation
See the microcosm in macro vision
Our bodies moving with pure precision
One universal celebration
All the tears that you weep
For the poor tortured souls
Who fall at your feet
With their love begging bowls
All the clerks and the tailors
The sharks and the sailors
All good at their trades but
They'll always be failures
Alms for the poor
For the wretched desciples
And the love that they swore
With their hearts on the bible
Beseeching the honor
To sit at your table
And feast on your holiness
As long as they're able
Love needs its martyrs
Needs its sacrifices
They live for your beauty
And pay for their vices
Love will be the death of
My lonely soul brothers
But their spirit shall live on in
The hearts of lovers
Your holding court
With your lips and your smile
Your body's a halo
Their minds are on trial
Sure as adam was eve
Sure as jonah to whaler
They're crooked love theives
And you are a jailor
Love needs its martyrs
Needs its sacrifices
They live for your beauty
And pay for their vices
Love will be the death of
My lonely soul brothers
But their spirit shall live on in
The hearts of all others
Love will be the death of
My lonely soul brothers
But their spirit shall live on in
Take my hand
And walk in the light
Understand, there's a fire to ignite
You know we have a responsibility
It's true we've been chosen
And now we have the possibiity
Of melting what's frozen
Walk with me with the rapture inside
Can't you see it's not our place to decide
You know we have to make a case for love
It's more of a duty
It's clear we have a mission from above
A mission of beauty
You know I wouldn't lie to you
What would I achieve by that
It's more than I would try to do
These are the facts
Take your place here
With love in your heart
Just embrace what you've known from the start
We are fulfilling our only destiny
The angels have spoken
And all the gods in the universe agree
If you've been hiding from love
If you've been hiding from love
I can understand where you're coming from
I can understand where you're coming from
If you've suffered enough
If you've suffered enough
I can understand what you're thinking of
I can see the pain that you're frightened of
And I'm only here
To bring you free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
I've been running like you
I've been running like you
Now you understand why I'm running scared
Now you understand why I'm running scared
I've been searching for truth
I've been searching for truth
And I haven't been getting anywhere
No I haven't been getting anywhere
And I'm only here
I've told myself so many times before
But this time I think I mean it fore sure
We have reached a full stop
Nothing's going to save us from the big drop
Reached our hate natural conclusion
Outlived the illusion
I hate being in these situations
That call for diplomatic relations
If I only knew the answer
Or I thought we had a chance
Or I could stop this, I would stop this thing
From spreading like a cancer
What can I say
I don't want to play anymore
What can I say
I'm heading for the door
I can't stand this emotional violence
Leave in silence
Leave in silence
We've being running round in circles all year
Doing this and that and getting nowhere
This will be the last time
I think I said that last time
If I only had a potion of
Some magical lotions
That could stop this, I would stop this
I would set he wheels in motion
What can I say
I don't want to play anymore
What can I say
I'm heading for the door
I can't stand this emotional violence
Leave in silence
When I'm with you baby
I go out of my head
I just can`t get enough
I just can`t get enough
All the things you do to me
And everything you said
I just can`t get enough
I just can`t get enough
We slip and slide as we fall in love
And I just can`t seem to get enough
We walk together
We`re walking down the street
I just can`t get enough
I just can`t get enough
Everytime I think of you
I know we have to meet
I just can`t get enough
I just can`t get enough
It`s getting hotter, it`s a burning love
And I just can`t seem to get enough of celtic
And when it rains
You`re shining down for me
I just can`t get enough
I just can`t get enough
Just like a rainbow
You know you set me free
I just can`t get enough
I just can`t get enough
You`re like an angel and you give me your love
Is simplicity best or simply the easiest?
The narrowest path is always the holiest
To walk on barefoot for me, suffer some misery
If you want my love, if you want my love
Man will survive the harshest conditions
And stay alive through difficult decisions
To make up your mind for me, walk the line for me
If you want my love, if you want my love
Idle talk and hollow promises
Cheating Judas', doubting Thomas'
Don't just stand there and shout it
Do something about it
You can fulfill your wildest ambitions
And I'm sure you will lose your inhibitions
To open yourself for me, risk your health for me
If you want my love, if you want my love
If you want my love, if you want my love
If you want my love, if you want my love
John the Revelator put him in an elevator
Take him up to the highest high
Take him up to the top where the mountains stop
Let him tell his book of lies
John the Revelator he's a smooth operator
It's time we cut him down to size
Take him by the hand
And put him on the stand
Let us hear his alibis
By claiming God as his holy right
He's stealing a God from the Israelite
Stealing a God from a Muslim, too
There is only one God through and through
Seven lies, multiplied by seven
Multiplied by seven again
Seven angels with seven trumpets
Send them home on the morning train
Well who's that shouting? John the Revelator
All he ever gives us is pain
Well who's that shouting? John the Revelator
He should bow his head in shame
By and by, by and by
By and by, by and by
Seven lies, multiplied by seven
Multiplied by seven again
Seven angels with seven trumpets
Send them home on the morning train
Well who's that shouting? John the Revelator
All he ever gives us is pain
Well who's that shouting? John the Revelator
He should bow his head in shame
By and by, by and by, John the Revelator
By and by, John the Revelator
They're almost falling over you
Why don't we call a truce?
Whatever they are trying to do
Is of little use
They're drowning you in compliments
Trying to furnish proof
In all they speak with eloquence
There is little truth
You're bright, you're strong
You know your right from wrong
At least to some degree
You're wise, you're tough
You've heard the lies enough
You smile in sympathy
I'm watching your serenity
The way your soul transcends
The tedious of sanities
Your patience never ends
And as the night begins to fade
You're heading for the door
You fall about separate
You're on your own once more
You're bright, you're strong
You know your right from wrong
At least to some degree
You're wise, you're tough
You've heard the lies enough
You smile in sympathy
You're bright, you're strong
You know your right from wrong
At least to some degree
You're wise, you're tough
You've heard the lies enough
You smile in sympathy
The way you move
Has got me yearning
The way you move
Has left me burning
I know you know what you're doing to me
I know my hands will never be free
I know what it's like to be in chains
The way you move
Is meant to haunt me
The way you move
To tempt and taunt me
I know you knew on the day you were born
I know somehow I should've been warned
I know I walk every midnight to dawn in chains
In chains, I'm in chains
In chains, I'm in chains
You've got me dying for you
It's you that I'm living through
You've got me praying to you
Saying to you anything you want me to
You've got me reaching for you
My soul's beseeching me too
You've got me singing to you
Bringing to you anything you ask me to
The way you move
Is mesmerizing
The way you move
Is hypnotizing
I know I crumble when you are around
Start to mumble a bit of a false sound
Straggle, stumble, shackled and bound in chains
In chains, I'm in chains
In chains, I'm in chains
You've got me dying for you
It's you that I'm living through
You've got me praying to you
Saying to you anything you want me to
You've got me reaching for you
My soul's beseeching me too
You've got me singing to you
Bringing to you anything you ask me to
I'm in chains
In chains, I'm in chains
In chains, I'm in chains
In chains, I'm in chains
There's a fragile tension
That's keeping us going
It may not last forever
But always is flowing
It's something magical in the air
Something so tragic we have to care
There's a strange obsession
It's drawing us nearer
We don't understand it
It never gets clearer
It's something mystical in our dreams
It's so simplistic it kicks and screams
Oh well, we'll seem to reek
On the edge of collapse
Nothing can keep us down
There's a dizzying feeling
That's keeping us flying
Through glittering gauntlet
Without even trying
It's something radical in our hands
But nothing logical to our plans
I like it, I like it
I like the way you run your fingers through my hair
And I love the way you tickle my chin
And I like the way you let yourself in when your mommy's not there
I like it, I like it
I like the things you say and all the things you do
And I like the way you straighten my tie
And I like the way you're winking your eye
And I know I like you
And I know I like you
Do that again
You're driving me insane
Kiss me once more
That's another thing I like you for
I like it, I like it
I like the funny feelings when I'm with you
And I like you more with every day
And I like to always hearing you say you're liking it too
You're liking it too
Do that again
You're driving me insane
Kiss me once more
That's another thing I like you for
I like it, I like it
I like the funny feelings when I'm with you
With every day
And I like to always hearing you say you're liking it too
You're liking it too
Whoa, I like it
We are here, we can love
We share something
I'm sure that you'll mean
The world to me
Your name was the one
That was always chosen
Your words and the kindness
That set me free
Shame as a hole
That has kept us frozen
You open my eyes
To a world I could believe
And words can leave
You broken inside
You'll have to decide
I'm hanging onto my pride
We are here, we can love
We share something
I'm sure that you'll mean
The world to me
When you get what you need
It's no way of knowing
What you have is
Another hole to feed
The games that we played
They've left us hoping
The gift that we have
The life that we breathe
This world could leave
You broken inside
We've nowhere to hide
I'm hanging onto my pride
We are here, we've been chosen
We've been blessed
With the place we need to find
And then open
We are here, we can love
We share something
I'm sure that you'll mean
The world to me
When you get what you need
It's no way of knowing
What you have is
Another hole to feed
Here is the house
Where it all happens
Those tender moments
Under this roof
Body and soul come together
As we come closer together
And as it happens
It happens here
In this house
And I feel your warmth
And it feels like home
And there's someone
Calling on the telephone
Let's stay home
It's cold outside
And I have so much
To confide to you
With or without words
I'll confide everything
Here is the house...
So we stay at home
And I'm by your side
And your know
What's going on inside
Inside my heart
Inside this house
And I just want to
Let it out for you
And I feel your warmth
And it feels like home
And I feel your warmth
And it feels like home
Here is the house
Where it all happens
Those tender moments
Under this roof
Body and soul come together
Happiest girl I ever knew,
Happiest girl I ever knew
Wanted to feel the joy,
Flow between our lips
Wanted to feel the joy,
Flow between our hips
Happiest girl I ever knew,
Why do you smile the smile you do
Happiest girl I ever knew,
Happiest girl I ever knew
Wanted to feel the joy,
Pass between our eyes
Wanted to feel the joy,
Pass between our thighs
And I would have to pinch her,
Just to see that she was real
Just to watch the smile fade away,
See the pain she'd feel
Happiest girl I ever knew,
Happiest girl I ever knew
Wanted to feel her joy,
Feel it deep within
Wanted to feel her joy,
Penetrate my skin
Happiest girl I ever knew,
Here, somewhere in the heart of me
There is still a part of me
That cares
And I'll, I'll still take the best you've got
Even though I'm sure it's not
The best for me
When you're born a lover
You're born to suffer
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers
I, I can see the danger signs
They only help to underline
Your beauty
I'm not looking for an easy ride
True happiness cannot be tried
So easily
When you're born a lover
You're born to suffer
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers
You can take your time
I'll be waiting in line
You don't even have to give me
The time of day
When you're born a lover
You're born to suffer
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers
Like all soul sisters
There's more besides the joyrides
Little house in the countryside
Understand, learn to demand
Compromise, and sometimes lie
Get the balance right
Get the balance right
Be responsible, respectable
Stable but gullible
Concerned and caring
Help the helpless
But always remain
Ultimately selfish
Get the balance right
Get the balance right
You think you've got a hold of it all
You haven't got a hold at all
When you reach the top,
Get ready to drop
Prepare yourself for the fall
(The fall)
It's almost predictable
(Almost)
Don't tend this way
Don't tend that way
Straight down the middle until next Thursday
First to the left
Back to the right
Twist and turn until you got it right
If you've been hiding from love
If you've been hiding from love
I can understand where you're coming from
I can understand where you're coming from
If you've suffered enough
If you've suffered enough
I can understand what you're thinking of
I can see the pain that you're frightened of
And I'm only here
To bring you free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
I've been running like you
I've been running like you
Now you understand why I'm running scared
Now you understand why I'm running scared
I've been searching for truth
I've been searching for truth
And I haven't been getting anywhere
No I haven't been getting anywhere
And I'm only here
To bring you free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
Hey girl
You've got to take this moment
Then let it slip away
Let go of complicated feelings
Then there's no price to pay
We've been running from love
We've been running from love
And we don't know what we're doing here
No we don't know what we're doing here
We're only here
Sharing our free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
The things you do aren't good for my health
The moves you make you make for yourself
The means you use aren't meant to confuse
Although they do they're the one's that I would choose
I wouldn't want it any other way
You wouldn't let me any way
Dangerous
The way you leave me wanting more
Dangerous
That's what I want you for
Dangerous
When I am in your arms
Dangerous
No I won't come to harm
The lies you tell aren't meant to deceive
They're not there for me to believe
I've heard your vicious words
You know by now it takes a lot to see me hurt
Dangerous
The way you leave me wanting more
Dangerous
That's what I want you for
Dangerous
When I am in your arms
Dangerous
No I won't come to harm
Dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous
When I am in your arms
No I won't come to harm
Dangerous
The way you leave me wanting more
That's what I want you for
Dangerous
When I am in your arms
Dangerous
No I won't come to harm
Dangerous
The way you leave me wanting more
Dangerous
That's what I want you for
Dangerous
When I am in your arms
Dangerous
No I won't come to harm
Dangerous
Maybe I'm still hurting
I can't turn the other cheek
But you know that I still love you
It's just that I can't speak
I looked for you in everyone
And they called me on that too
I lived alone but I was only
Coming back to you
Ah they're shutting down the factory now
Just when all the bills are due
And the fields they're under lock and key
Though the rain and the sun come through
And springtime starts but then it stops
In the name of something new
And all the senses rise against this
Coming back to you
And they're handing down my sentence now
And I know what I must do
Another mile of silence while I'm
Coming back to you
There are many in your life
And many still to be
Since you are a shining light
There's many that you'll see
But I have to deal with envy
When you choose the precious few
Who've left their pride on the other side of
Coming back to you
Even in your arms I know
I'll never get it right
Even when you bend
To give me comfort in the night
I've got to have your word on this
Or none of it is true
And all I've said was just instead of
Nothing of this
I taste when we kiss
Come back to the land
For a few hours
Let me see you stripped down to the bone
I taste when we kiss
I taste when we kiss
You're breathing in fumes
I taste when we kiss
Let me see you stripped down to the
I taste when we kiss
I taste when we kiss
Let me see you stripped down to the
I taste when we kiss
I taste when we kiss
Let me see you stripped down to the
Come back to the land
Come back to the land
Let me see you stripped down to the bone
Breathing in fumes
I'm breathing in fumes
Breathing in fumes
I heard a rumour
They travel far
You know what it's like
The way people are
They talk and they talk
Though they don't understand
They'll whisper and whisper
And lie on demand
Please tell me now
I want to know
I have to hear it from your lips
Say it's not so
I heard it on Monday
And I laughed a while
I heard it on Tuesday
I managed to smile
I heard it on Wednesday
My patience was tried
I heard it on Thursday
And I hurt inside
I want to know
The depths of your mind
Tell me this whole thing is madness
And we're doing fine
Put your little hand in mine
And believe in love
Put your head on my chest
And breathe love
Breathe love
Breathe love
Breathe love
I heard it from Peter
Who heard it from Paul
Who heard it from someone
I don't know at all
I heard it from Mary
Who heard it from Ruth
Who swore on the bible
She's telling the truth
I heard it from Simon
Who heard it from James
Confirming with Sarah
That I was to blame
I heard it from Joseph
Who heard it from John
Who said with conviction
That all hope was gone
So I need to know
Your alibis
I need to hear that you love me
Before you say goodbye
Before you say goodbye
Before you say goodbye
What good is a photograph of you?
Everytime I look at it
It makes me feel blue!
What use is a souvenit
Of something we once had
When all it ever does is
Make me feel bad!
I wish I could tear it up
But then again I haven't the guts!
I wish I could throw it on the fire
I wish I could
But to say I would
I'd be a liar!
What good is a colour print
Of a little baby doll?
When just one little glance
Is enough to make me feel dull!
I hoped I would misplace it
But then I take such good care of it
I wish it would disappear
I say I wish
But then I relish
It being here!
Oh the tears that you weep
For the poor tortured souls
Who fall at your feet
With all their love begging bowls
All the clerks and the tailors
The sharks and the sailors
All good at their trades
But they'll always be failures
Alms for the poor
For the wretched disciples
And the love that they swore
With their hearts on the bible
Beseeching the honour
To sit at your table
And feast on your holiness
As long as they're able
Love needs its martyrs
Needs its sacrifices
They live for your beauty
And pay for their vices
Love will be the death of
My lonely soul brothers
But their spirits shall live on in
The hearts of all lovers
You're holding court
With your lips and your smile
Your body's a halo
Their minds are on trial
Sure as adam is eve
Sure as Jonah turned whaler
They're crooked love thieves
And you are their jailor
Love needs its martyrs
Needs its sacrifices
They live for your beauty
And pay for their vices
Love will be the death of
My lonely soul brothers
But their spirit shall live on in
The hearts of all lovers
