Recently (x4)
I acted cool, I asked around,
But you could not be seen,
I was desperate, indifferent,
To put everyone on call,
You walked in, I clicked on,
You could not refuse,
It has to be, and we know it now,
So get the rocket, light the fuse,
'Cause recently I kissed you,
it's like a dream come true,
And recently you're likin' me and I'm really likin' you,
Never apart, we go around,
Siamese in crazy love,
I learn your quirks, and call your world,
What did I do before you?
Because recently I need to be with you all the time,
Recently some jealousy has crept into my mind,
Recently I noticed that it's weird to be alone,
Recently my friends, they never call me anymore,
Recently I'm happier being by myself,
I put your photograph away,
I can't look at you today.
I put your letters upstairs,
But it's no good because you're everywhere.
I can try to hide,
But why do I waste my time.
You left your glasses behind,
And somebody said you were losing fire,
I play a game, but you're not there,
But it's no good, because you're everywhere.
I can try to hide,
But why do I waste my time,
Centre round of you,
Everything I do says you're everywhere, everywhere.
I hear a song that you sang,
I hits my head like a circus train,
I cried out when you were there,
You were there because you're everywhere.
I can try to hide,
But why do I waste my time,
Centre round of you,
Everything I do
(Centre round in me,
Everything I see says....
Summerbaby, come on baby, show me the town,
I didn't know that you'd be such a short visit.
Once a year I noticed that you're not around,
Mama says you went when you were exquisite.
If you seen all I done,
When I'm alone I do things that nobody knows..
We were all wandering where you came from,
Last night we were hypothesising that you were an angel,
Sometimes it feels like you're looking down,
From up above, where angels are found.
If you seen all I done,
When I'm alone I do things that nobody knows.
Every drop of sex and every little mess I make,
I was around, I was around.
I was around, nobody knows nobody knows (times 4).
Do you see a lot of angels up there like you,
Wolfgang and Vincent Van Gogh,
Have you seen Josephine,
Someone from town like Marshall Brown or someone you
know.
If you seen all I done,
When I'm alone I do things that nobody knows.
Every drop of sex and every little mess I make,
I was around, (times 3),
Holy Holly,
She don't approve it all.
She thinks that she's a pony,
Prancing in the front hall.
She sleeps with the saddle on,
Gets up and rides at dawn.
Nobody knows what's wrong,
But she can't keep her trousers on.
Humpty Mudumpty,
She's all better now.
She thought that she was somebody else for a while,
A house at the North Pole,
She went for her daily stroll,
Wearing a wig and a mink stole,
That she's the daughter of a rock and roll.
Ivy Boy, he couldn't be trusted,
feeling his face was familiar,
Tried to be like a Monty Hall,
Living like a rubber ball,
Found himself in Montreal,
Hey smilin' strange!
You're looking happily deranged
Could you settle to shoot me?
Or have you picked your target yet?
Hey Sandy
Does your dog bite?
Hey Sandy
Four feet away
End of speeches at the end of the day
We was only funnin'
But guiltily I thought
You had it comin'
Hey Sandy
Does your dog bite?
They're playing in Central Park
Check out him, he's shouting at the gate
Billy didn't tell you everything
or did he mention the magic day?
Well I figured it out from a fig tree
It's the chosen fruit of the devil himself
Now you been bad for 50 years
and now it looks like that daddy's taking off his belt
Waiting for October
I cross my fingers
cross my heart
and hope to die
Waiting for October
I'm in the book
and I'll be learning how to fly
He's coming down but he's not alone
He's gonna bring an army of saints
and he's taking all his back home
and then destroying what remains
Waiting for October
I'm in the book
and I'll be learning
to be wings
to be wings
Hoping that the end
will start it all again
And that's when numeral history will die
I said and that's so right about the day
Cause it all ends in 1999
and commences on the 28th, the 28th, the 28th
Waiting for October
I cross my fingers
cross my heart
and hope to die
Waiting for October
I'm in the book
and I'll be learning how to fly
Waiting for October
I cross my fingers
cross my heart
and hope to die
Waiting for October
I'm in the book
and I'll be learning how to fly
Hopin' that the end
You're absolutely so much, better than her,
A second thought is too much,
Is two too many?
She's a fact of life but never mind,
Get away, away for someone kind.
Such a vain iconoclaster,
A racketeer who never fears,
The news of his departure,
Was greeted here with a Cheshire grin.
(Oh, Better get away from here)
The monster's loose,
You're luckier than you know,
The one that got away,
He's gone, she's gone.
A great big celebration,
Seems more in order,
And it's a great big revelation,
That should pull the plug on the whole thing,
(I'm so thrilled for you, really)
The monster's loose,
You're luckier than you know,
The one that got away,
He's gone, she's gone
It's so easy to be fooled,
By such a crackerjack,
There's a weak signal.
Now here's all you have to know (Wo-oh),
Just let the monster go.
The monster's loose,
You're luckier than you know,
The one that got away,
He's gone, she's gone
The monster's loose (the monster's loose),
The monster's loose (the monster's loose),
The monster's loose,
You're luckier than you know,
The one that got away,
Are you crazy man, you didn't notice her,
You must be blind.
All I do now, is think about how,
She will be mine.
I couldn't stand up, I couldn't sit down,
One look at her and I stumble around
One look at her, I get irrational, She ties my tongue.
I saw her downtown, on a cloudy day,
And she brought the sun
She's not part of the scene, she don't socialise,
She does her own thing.
She's ahead of her time, just the right speed,
She is staggering,
I couldn't stand up, I couldn't sit down,
One look at her and I stumble around
She is staggering, she is staggering.
She is uncommonly, heavenly, she is so rare,
She's beautiful, exceptional, she doesn't care.
I couldn't stand up, I couldn't sit down,
One look at her and I stumble around.
I couldn't get to sleep, man and I couldn't breathe,
She's all that I want, she is all that I need,
There's only roses in here, and you're dissatisfied,
It's like a candy store, and you're dissatisfied,
You want everything, and you're dissatisfied,
You get everything, you're still dissatisfied,
Make it mine, all mine, all mine,
Here's a double dare,
Take home plate if you can,
But there won't be anyone there.
I see sunshine, you'll be saturnine, (times 2)
You've got a Hollywood star, then you freak out,
In you Shangri-la, where you freak out,
You've got the whole nine yards, but you freak out,
Yeah you freak out,
Make it mine, all mine, all mine,
Here's a double dare,
Take home play if you can,
But there won't be anyone there.
I see sunshine, you'll be saturnine, (times 2)
You can't see the sweet things,
Always see the bad,
I see sunshine, you'll be saturnine, (times 2)
You'll be saturnine, you'll be saturnine,
Refrain :
Jolie fille il faut croire à l'amour
Ho ya-ho ya-ho
Quand il est là, ouvre-lui tout grand les bras
N'attends pas
Ho ya-ho ya-ho
Jolie fille, les jours après les jours
Ho ya-ho ya-ho
Voient se passer ta grâce et ta beauté
Vite il te faut croire à l'amour
Tu as la taille fine
Du rêve plein les yeux
Une jolie poitrine
Tout pour faire des heureux
Rose ne dure qu'un matin
Alors pense à notre refrain
[Refrain]
Le soleil d'aujourd'hui
Brille sur notre vie
Les ennuis de demain
Se trouvent vite au lointain
Pour tout connaître du printemps
On ne vit pas assez longtemps
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Ho ya-ho ya-ho
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Ho ya-ho ya-ho
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ho ya-ho ya-ho
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
It's kind of a low blow,
Not the one I got, but the one you gave.
It's really to soon to know,
How much of you will there be left for me to say.
He's a scallywag,
I have another friend that he did the same thing to,
And then he brags
And he'll kiss and tell me, kiss and tell me every time
you do.
Monte Carlo,
Coronado II,
And San Diego Zoo or a hundred nights with you won't
change my mind.
You rang and she called early,
You were laughing and she was asking "can we still be
friends".
You would like to think in Summer time you'll remember
So I'll never, never land where the stories never ever
ever.......
Monte Carlo,
Coronado II,
And San Diego Zoo or a hundred nights with you won't
change my mind.
Hey Monte Carlo,
Coronado II,
And San Diego Zoo or a hundred nights with you won't
change my mind,
Was it for nothing I said,
It's so attractive To be so silent (-ly?),
It keeps the mystery on and it seems,
It keeps It hanging on me.
Another letter from home,
I don't know why I even read it,
There's one big question,
I don't know why I must repeat it.
Maybe I care a little,
Perhaps I'm ashamed of the story I told,
But you were so eager (-ly?),
Was it so bad for me to say it,
What you wanna hear?
Another letter from home,
I don't know why I even read it,
There's one big question,
I don't know why I must repeat it.
And you'll feel better if you don't speak, (times 2)
Another letter from home.
I don't know why I even read it
There's one big question,
And it's coming round, to run away or disappear, (times
Try climbing up those frozen stairs,
And standing here and nobody cares,
They're all there and all they see is nothing new,
As nothing sparkles like it did when I knew you.
Walk around, as usual,
All alone, as usual,
It's getting late, as usual,
I can't go home.
I just won't leave my little room,
What's the point, they'll be wearing blue,
One man parade pull down my shades and lock the room,
It's better blue for them to see, there to take the
veil,
Walk around, as usual,
All alone, as usual,
It's getting late, as usual,
I can't go home, as usual.
And it's coming round, to run away or disappear, (times
I can't find a sympathetic ear,
Another day feels like another year,
And we'll forget it, my world forgotten,
And we'll forget it, my world forgotten, in a world
forgetting.
Walk around, as usual,
All alone, as usual,
It's getting late, as usual,
I can't go home, as usual.
(repeat chorus)
And it's coming round, to run away or disappear. (times
Living easy, livin' free
Season ticket, on a one - way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
Don't need reason, don't need rhyme
Ain't nothing I would rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too
I'm on the highway to hell
On the Highway to hell
Highway to hell
I'm on the highway to hell
No stop signs, speedin' limit
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobody's gonna mess me 'round
Paid my ticket! Paid my dues
Now I’m singin’ in a rockin' band
Hey Mama! Look at me
I'm on my way to the promise land
I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
Don’t stop me!
I'm on the highway to hell!
I'm on the highway to hell!
I'm on the highway to hell!
I'm on the highway to hell!
And I'm goin down..all the way!
It's the same way you're talking
The same old ups and downs
But I know a few things
I know better now
Used to be you were so convincing
I believe in those days
But now the light is shining
Burning off the haze
It's all over now
It's all over now
I'm looking through you
You're just blue against the sky
Tell me what's for certain
Tell me what has changed
Don't expect me to believe you
Not again
It's all over now
It's all over now
I'm looking through you
You're just blue against the sky
When the world comes crawling to you
Like some Hollywood premiere
You may think you're getting over
But you'll still be sitting here
My life is empty
I was so scared
That is wasn't possible
To live at all
One more day goes on by
I'm still facing ahead
The way I think it should be
I thought I was strong
But not the kind of strong I should be.
I thought I could find a way
To make you listen to me.
Now I'm here to give up the fight.
I couldn't make wrong things right.
Third time's the charm.
Just like the last time.
Just like the time before.
Third time's the charm.
I struck out big time.
Can't steal home anymore.
I looked into the mirror
And found that everything had changed.
The glass was empty
And all my words sounded strange.
Now I'm here to settle the score.
I couldn't win anymore.
Third time's the charm.
Just like the last time.
Just like the time before.
Third time's the charm.
I struck out big time.
Can't steal home anymore.
Strong wind blowing through.
Bring me to my knees.
No sound from you.
Nothing to believe.
The people keep saying
What the people always say.
Get up in the morning
And find yourself a brand new day.
Now it's hard to face the shame.
I can't take one last game.
Third time's the charm.
Just like the last time.
Just like the time before.
Third time's the charm.
I struck out big time.
I tried to tell you to let you know
Gave you for real love that's all I know
You said your secrets were never lies
Love double crossed me and
...you know why
Infection

Love tells a story. Love tells a lie
Love is a fighter. Afraid to die
It's just a sickness and it's killing me
Lord let this cancer let go of me.
Infection
Infection
Infection
Infection
from your love
You used to love me
You used to be
The sensitive one you believed
Told me that your heart was made of glass
Confidence you put in me
Was poison in the glass
Infection
Did you love me? Did you need?
Did I affect you the way you do me?
I'm just a junky that can't be free
As long you keep infecting me

When I was a lonely child
I'd sit beneath a tree
I'd watch the clouds
Float away from me
Dreams I held so close inside
Drifting to the sky
God bless the child
Who ever wondered why
The Fire Next Time
If I was meant to burn for you
And you to burn for me
Are we just smoke through all eternity?
Or is there something deeper still
To keep this love alive?
The Lord gave us
A hard rain tonight
The Fire Next Time
When we met a mourning dove
Returned from the sea
I held you close
You were a part of me
Now you're gone the birds fly out
Across the powerlines
How can I love you
If you're the hurting kind?
When I was a lonely child
I'd sit beneath the sky
I'd watch the clouds
See them pass me by
The Fire Next Time
Come on and give me a sign
Shadows
On my window
Growing darker with the cold
Why does it ring?
That song of my old love from yesterday
He knows
Where the sun goes
Cause he hides it from the snow
Those faint wedding bells.
Crying in the distance for my love to be
I still can here him calling out to me
Wondering why it is he can hear but cannot see
With all that I keep inside of me
Why don't I scream- just a whisper willows out
Love goes
Like these winds blow
Growing colder as they flow
Don't want no evil woman
Make a fool out of me
My girl she's so sweet
She's my honey bee
She feels the same way about me
She feels the same way about me
She feels the same way
Wake up in the morning
Get my breakfast in my bed
My girl she's so good
Love her till I'm dead
She feels the same way about me
She feels the same way about me
She feels the same way
Don't want no other woman
I could never be satisfied
My girl looks so good
Standing by my side
She feels the same way about me
She feels the same way about me
Never mind what you're saying
I only see what you do
You can't hide from my love baby
I got my eye on you
I'm coming down
I'm coming down
I'm coming down
I'm coming down
I'm an eagle with a six string
You're a man that's on the run
I can give you satisfaction
But if you take it's more fun
I'm coming down
I'm coming down to get you
I'm coming down to get you
Under rocks or in a cave
There's nowhere you can run
I got you in my hair-pin sites
I want to loose control
Gonna get you, you can't hide
I'm a one-track destination
One stop on time
You're the one that's contemplating
I'll make it worth your while
I'm gonna be your seat belt
Clutch tight on my arms
Hope you're ready for my landing
And don't ever look down
I'm coming down
I'm coming down to get you
I'm coming down to get you
I'm coming down to get you
I'm coming down to get you
I'm coming down to get you
Here we are nowhere
Surrounded by space
Angels of legends
Have taken our place
We had deliverance
The moment passed
These lost disciples
Are leading at last
We shout a hymn
To the earth and the birds
To the lost disciples
Who don't know the words
Strange collision
Of heaven and hell
A bastard vision
We know too well
Our emotions
Are all second hand
Belong to an ocean
Misplaced in the sand
I wanna change the world
I wanna change it right now
I wanna make myself better
I wanna tell the truth
I wanna change the world
I wanna change it tonight
I can't wake up dreaming
of what I never did
I don't think I can kill myself
I don't think I can kill myself
I wanna change the world
turn it inside out
Put myself on the bottom
let it stand on me
I gotta change the world
I gotta be the one
where it all gets better
and no more excuses
I don't think I can kill myself
Tell the lie, tell the lie, you never should have tried
To believe in the secret your keeping.
Tell the lie, tell the lie, it's the only way to fly
With the truth that you're way to deep in.
I can tell, i can tell, and i know damn well
cuz your body language is screaming.
I can tell, i can tell that you only want a taste
Of something that you shouldn't be feeling.
Somebody must've told you bout half a million times
You listen with your heart
Makes your ears go blind.
You get tired of waiting
And you only miss the train.
You're burning all you bridges
And you're gonna burn your brain.
Laying on yer back and you aint got a clue.
You wanna tell a lie but the lie is true.
Now what you gonna do?
Time is gone. Don't know where.
I felt strong. I feel nowhere.
Used to be here. Now over there.
Time is gone gone gone.
Woke up this morning. Midnight to you.
Where I was – had no clue.
Big ass train was passing through.
Time is gone gone gone.
Time is gone. Cast a shadow.
Everywhere I hear the song.
Don't forget me, I know you will.
Let me ask you, baby
Well, do you live here everyday of your life
In a burned out war zone
Just like Beirut or something
Man it hurts my eyes
Detroit breakdown
Got my whole damn head on fire
Detroit breakdown
Ooh, what a surprise
Motown schmotown, there's nothin? left
No more Iggy or the MC5
Wayne? s been doin? it in L.A. now
So you? re just livin? a lie 'cause
Detroit breakdown
Got my whole damn head on fire
Detroit breakdown
Ooh, what a surprise
Let me ask you, baby
Do you live here everyday of your life?
I? m a town that makes a career
Out of waiting for hell night
Detroit breakdown
Got my whole damn head on fire
Detroit breakdown
Ooh, what a surprise
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah
Everybody's talking ‘bout my snotgun.
The people wanna take away my snotgun.
The pigs wanna drill me with a snotgun.
And all I wanna do is be free.
The Crips next door have a snotgun.
The Aryan race has a snotgun.
The FBI has a snotgun.
And all I wanna do is be free.
They say you can't fight fire with fire.
The Kid down the street took a snotgun-
killed 40 people with a snotgun.
Most people never even seen a snotgun.
All I wanna do is be free.
They say you can't fight fire with fire
Everybody look at my snotgun.
Tune you guitars to the snotgun.
The alphabet ends with a snotgun.
And all I wanna do is be free.
Every now and then I get a little bit angry
with your children.
It makes me want to cry and then it make me want to be the one
who teaches them
But they just stand there looking
Like they're at a zoo
Between you and me
That's not the way that it should be
People feel guilty when they see the dead walking
through the city.
Pull a dollar from their pockets for a little tin cup
to make them go away
Well no one here's applauding
his act of mercy.
Between you and me
That's not the way that it should be
Birds of prey are diving on the field mice are running
from the war machines
Stay long enough to get a laugh
and they're on their way again
No one stops to wonder
Where it all ends
The homeless and poor are glad to go to war
to fight for the right to be put down even more
the drugs that you buy cost to much to get us high
Everyday
Everyday
Everyday I think of you.
Everyday
I'm afraid
Of something I might do.
I could get lost on your lonely avenue.
I could love you.
I could love you.
‘til you can't be loved no more.
I could love you
Lord above you
‘til you can't be loved no more.
All I wanna do is breath again.
Too hot.
Too hot
To bury it way down deep.
Too hot.
Too hot
To bury it way down deep.
I don't wanna love you with a secret to keep.
I need you
Like I breath you.
That's something I'll always do.
‘cuz everyday
I fell upon a dream last night
We were together
Hey baby, have a little faith in me
I swore that we would get out alive
I wouldn't surrender
Hey baby, have a little faith in me
They say that time, that time
It knows where we're going, I wish that time
Oh, I wish that time would stop right here
You're afraid to lose your love
I don't blame you
Hey baby, have a little faith in me
Why don't you have a little faith, now, baby? Hey
Oh, they say that time, they say that time
It knows where we're going, I wish that time
Oh, I wish that time would stop right here
Oh, you're afraid to lose your love
Oh, I won't let anything harm you
Hey baby, have a little faith in me
I said now, baby, yeah, have a little faith in me
Oh, a little faith in me, yeah
Oh, a little faith, now
I gotta pay the cobra- day and night.
Juice the needle or I'm out of sight.
It's an evil affair- no love in sight.
Just pay the cobra, pay the cobra, pay the cobra.
A forked-tongue truth- a cold disgrace.
A snake in the Saturn house from space.
The graceless moves of a dying race.
Just pay the cobra, pay the cobra, pay the cobra.
You don't remember me-
I was never here before.
But you speak my name like it's a disease,
Crawling on the floora
Like a vulture at the door
Voice from a whore
Pollution to the mass
The anti-venom
On a piece of glass.
I gotta pay the cobra to see the doctor.
Fifteen minutes with the cool sidwinder.
And five more minutes to get pulled under.
Easy to say
nothing matters.
Easy to deny
what you've been given.
But in the darkness
of the darkness
the acting shatters
and you can't buy freedom
from yourself.
Standing where the river used to flow
all the time,
Nowadays it's only from my eye.
Some people swear
you can live forever.
All you got to do is
keep on walking backwards.
But in the darkness
of the darkness
it's all free falling.
And there's no-one to watch you
lie to yourself.
Standing where the river used to flow
all the time.
Nowadays it's only from my eye.
No more bridges.
No more wishing wells.
No more footprints on the water.
I wish I could believe
without asking why.
Don't want to follow my fate.
I don't want nobody to see me cry.
Seems like I've been here before.
Beginning from the end.
Seems like I know what's in store.
Beginning from the end.
Thought I saw the furture now
Beginning from the end.
I held it like a rose.
It slipped away again.
How many times can you fall
Before it all feels the same?
How many times can you drown
Before you can't be holy again?
Slay the unicorn.
Feeling like I crashed to earth.
Nobody saw me flying.
The airwaves let me down.
Nobody saw me flying.
Seems like I've been here before.
Beginning from the end.
Seems like I've been here before.
Beginning from the end.
Beginning from the end.
People say that I’m a stranger
Just for living on the outside
People act like I’m a danger
Just for living out my life
But if I tried just once to reach out and help someone, without them having to come to me begging and giving me everything I need first, maybe they wouldn’t call me a
Psychotic Hate Man
I see hate and I see anger
Everywhere but in my own mind
It’s a door that I won’t open
It’s a train that I won’t ride
And as the twenty foot walls of black concrete, steel and glass of my life comes tumbling down, I blame the world and give it truth and disdain cause I’m a
Psychotic Hate Man
Solo
Break the silence with a silence
The noise I never made at all shines
I’ve got pain and I’ve got anger
And that’s all I need to get by
Everyone, everywhere, nobody ever gave me nothing all the time, except the ones who saved my life, but they don’t count cause they’re everyone too and I’m a
Psychotic Hate Man
Psychotic Hate Man
Psychotic Hate Man
Heard the singer singing
Playing in a band
Talking ‘bout the lives he held
in his hand
Tried to shake my feelings
I tried to scream my doubts
He couldn't know what he
was talkin' ‘bout
Cause it's a feeling we all live for
It's a thing that we all want
How come everything
I'm doing comes out wrong
It's just one big party
One big party for you and me.
He's taken all your feelings
And never paid a cent
He's lived in your emotions
He don't believe in rent.
It's just one big party
One big party for you and me.
It's just one big party
Got a maniac on my trail
I'd kill him if I could
He watches me with killer eyes
his hands are in my blood
He's a giant indestructible monster
I can feel his breath on me
I can shoot him down a million times
But he's never gonna set me free
I'm weighted down beside him
He swims the ocean with me
We're brothers in our purpose
and hated enemies
I was born to serve him
He makes my dreams come true
He's my father and my mother
I'm in love and I am doomed.
Got a maniac in my bed.
His hate is in my dreams
I'm too tired of fighting
Too tired to go to sleep
I cut my throat on his edges
and I bleed from his wounds
If I'm running forever
Burning up the rubber on my bmx
Got to hurry up got to do my best
Jonesin' ‘bout the jerks trying to get my spot
I could feel the quarter falling through the slot
I'm going down to Pinball City
I'm going down to Pinball City
Pockets full of lead trying to weigh me down
Head is spinning fast from the lights going wild
Flipper Flapper Fun is coming my way
When I kick into warp I can hear them all say
I'm going down to Pinball City
I'm going down to Pinball City
Feel eyes looking from the other machines
I'm in the zone yeah I'm the chick on the scene
Lights are going pretty wild sounds
I can see that silver ball spinning round and round
I'm going down to Pinball City
