Lost
In her face,
Caught
On the thought of a taste,
Sold
On the fantasy,
Bought,
For a price you can have a piece
Fresh
From the colour press,
The flesh
Of today's princess,
Spread
From end to end,
Blue eyes
And perfect skin
Invite everyone in.
Do you ever wonder why you want her?
Does it even matter you can't have her?
Even if you tried to it wouldn't satisfy you
Trying to possess her can only depress you
Do you ever wonder why you want her?
Does it even matter you could never have her?
Even if you tried to it would never satisfy you
You'll only want her stronger,
Calm down now baby
The end of the journey's in sight
You've travelled so far love
Now all of the stars are aligned
Say goodbye (I don't want to)
Don't you fight (I don't want to)
Leaving your life's no easy ride
All the grief you gave
All the love you made
All your yesterdays
Everything you were
Will fade
This is the only way
All the things you thought
you came here for
Everything you thought
you knew for sure
No meandering
No more wondering
Everything is true
All the things you thought you had to say
Everyone you left along the way
So you gather how
Nothing matters now that your time is through
Dreamt of a doorway
That opened to everything
And I'm reaching towards it
Drifting backwards
Drawing the curtains
Windows inside my head
Maybe I'm only
Seventeen seconds and I'm over it
Ready for the disconnect
Putting on a brave face
Trying not to listen
To the voices in the back of my head
But it's alright now
(It's a distant memory baby)
Alright now
(You know you should just let it go)
Some feelings have a habit of persisting
Even though you wouldn't let it show
Wearing me out
(All this)
Hanging around
(It just starts)
Getting me down
('Til I'm just)
Looking for an easy way out
Brain-dead from boredom
I'm led to distraction
Scratching the surface of life
Nothing really happens
But it's easy to keep busy
When you tell yourself you're traveling right
But it's alright now
(Was it really worth it baby?)
Alright now
(Was it just a waste of time?)
Keep on second-guessing
Use my memory like a weapon
On everything I try
Wearing me out
(All this)
Hanging around
(It just starts)
Getting me down
('Til I'm just)
Looking for an easy way out
Wearing me out
(But it's alright now)
Hanging around
(Alright now)
Getting me down
(But it's alright now)
Now your bowl is empty
And your feet are cold
And your body cannot stop rocking
I know it hurts to let go
Since the day we found you
You have been a friend
And your voice still echoes
In the hallways of this house
But now it's the end
We will be with you
When you're leaving
We will be with you
When you go
We will be with you
And hold you till you're quiet
It hurts to let you go
We will be with you
(No)
We will be with you
(Oh)
We will be with you
(Oh, no)
Forgotten how long I've been waiting
And as always I'm stuck on the same thing
You, and the perfect unfailing
Love that you may bring me
Know you won't come for me
But faith knows no reality
So I'll wait an eternity
I'll be true to you (x4)
Another former lover man
Come crawlin' back again
So you wanna make it good
You say you needa be understood
Well you should know
There can't be no understandin'
When all you got's demandin'
Well you've shown me you can stay
Well away from me
And you do so happily
So I thought that you would know
Just where you can go
I won't be here when
You do it again
So you say this time this thing will last
So why you wanna do it all so fast
I think you're tryin' to relive the past
Ain't no use you prayin'
Are you hearin' what I'm sayin'?
I won't be here when
I'm living with your memory
In the attic in my mind
And you've been getting by without me
But I've been spending all my time
With a girl that I remember
Who'll never leave or need to grow
Cos when you left you left your memory
Now it's the only thing I know
When the past gives me no comfort
And though the future is the cost
The way I'm choosing to remember
I'll forever be the man I never was
And you, you fade
But the memory remains the same
And I, I can't change
And I think that living with your memory
Is slowly driving me insane
You are perfect but you're empty
And it gets so lonely in my mind
Cos your image in my memory's
The only shred of you that's left behind
You were real but then you left me
And that's the part I can't accept
So I'll keep on living with your memory
(In complete contrast, a pop song, and a pop singer. In a different way, this has its own magic. The magic of an accompaniment, tailor-made in the fashion of today. For this occasion, this singer, and this song)
You have been placed in a queue
But your call is valuable
It's very valuable
We hope this doesn't inconvenience you
Because you're valuable
You're so very valuable!
If you wish to make a complaint
We can handle it, we're well prepared to handle it
Of course you may have to wait
But that's understandable
Isn't that understandable?
Don't ask me, I just work here man
Don't ask me, I just work here man
(It sounds to me like you need help!)
We're very good to you
I hope you know we're good to you
(Let me put you through to someone else)
They'll know just what to do!
I'm sorry, I can't help you
Don't ask me, I just work here man (x4)
(Work here man)
Don't ask me, I just work here man
Don't ask me, I just work here man
Oh don't ask me, I just work here man
(I just work here man)

...Let's spend some time together, we'll save you money...
When the Cotillion arrived
We threw out the television
Model D 575
Has custom flute presets
And Harmony-Plus in addition
Now for an arm and a leg
We get three half-dozen beats to choose from
So now we can pretend
That there's an orchestra in the loungeroom
I put the Genie Bass on
So my left hand can play the choir
With 16ft Diapason
And Lowrey's patented Orchestral Symphonizer
Banjo's great on repeat
The kids want to play but they'll have to be patient
The wife can't help tapping her feet
It's a genuine home entertainment revelation
State, state, state, state of the art
(State of the art)
(Hold the phone, it's so)
State, state, state, state of the art
(Listen to the difference! )
State, state, state, state of the art
(By use of a computer)
(Oh my God, it's so)
State, state, state, state of the art
Now we don't want to go out
When we could spend the night at home with the Cotillion
Invite the neighbours around
Start the bossanova beat and limbo from the living to the kitchen
Enjoy the state of the art
The Magic Swing Piano really is astounding
Now we can't tell them apart
But these amazing simulations end up sounding even better than the real
Thing
State, state, state, state of the art
(State of the art)
(Hold the phone, it's so)
State, state, state, state of the art
(Computer controlled tone colour)
State, state, state, state of the art
(The marriage of music to computers is quite natural)
(Oh my God, it's so)
State, state, state, state of the art
(It is time to hear the results)
(Hold the phone, it's so)
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
I told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kinda sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing
I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
Guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believin it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know-oh-oh
But you didn't have cut me off
Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing (oh)
I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger
and that feels so rough
(oh)
No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect you records
And then change your number (oh)
Guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Somebody that I used to know
Somebody (now your just somebody that I used to know)
That I used to know
Somebody that I used to know
Somebody (somebody) (now your just somebody that I used to know)
That I used to know
I used to know
That I used to know
I used to know
In the mornings
I was anxious
It's better just to stay in bed
Didn't want to fail myself again
Running through all the options
And the endings
Were rolling out in front of me
But I couldn't choose a thread to begin
And I could not love
Coz I could not love myself
Never good enough, no
That was all I'd tell myself
And I was not well
But I could not help myself
I was giving up on living
In the morning
You were leaving
Travelling south again
And you said you were not unprepared
And all the dead ends
And disappointments
Were fading from your memory
Ready for that lonely life to end
And you gave me love
When I could not love myself
And you made me turn
From the way I saw myself
And you're patient, love
And you help me help myself
And you save me
And you save me
A handsome stranger
Gave me a ride
He had a suitcase full of lies
That he sold me
I sensed no danger
When I was there right by his side
He said I compelled him to confide
So he told me
Take this car
And drive downstate
Then take off the licence plates
And wait for me
I could have argued
But he said for my trouble I could keep
Half the money in the bag on the back seat
At least, that's what he told me
And he said he thought I looked trustworthy
And I must admit that the thrill of it all got the better of me
So I drove down the highway with great speed
Until they resounded behind me
Sirens! The police
They pull me over to the side of the road
And tell me that the car was stolen, that's why I was followed
I try to tell them I was only doing what I was told
But no, they won't listen to me
They cuff my hands and say
'Now girl, the money, where did you hide it?'
Then I know without even checking the bag
That there's no money inside it
But when they read my rights
I know that it's no use
Saying, 'I'm not lying'
No, please let me go
Please listen to me
I am not guilty
A handsome stranger tricked me
Why did he have to hand-pick me?
He told me to take this car
And drive downstate
Then to take off the licence plates
And wait there for him
But of course they don't believe me
So from there they drive me back to the station
And after I've been booked they began a three-day interrogation
I barely ate, I only slept an hour
But somehow I stayed patient and calm
They did me no harm
But the bag was the key to this mystery
He bought it the very same day that he
Robbed that bank upstate and then picked me
To be his fall guy patsy
Five years later
When I'd almost forgotten that nightmarish day
I was struck by the handsome features of a stranger across the way
As he got out of a car, with a girl behind the wheel, and I heard him say
Take this car
And drive downstate
Then take off the licence plates
You know I never want to let you down
It cuts me up to see you sad
And I wish that I could undo what I've done
Give back the faith in me you had
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
You know I love you more than anyone
But I get a little wrapped up in myself
But you know I never want to do you wrong
Bring into question what we have
Oh yeah
I know I let you down
I know I let you down
But you're giving me a chance
Oh yeah
I know I let you down
I know I let you down
When you're feeling down
I'm comin' round
To pick you up
And take you out
It won't be long
'Till those blues are gone
The city's waiting
Beckoning for us
It leads us on
Let it lead us on
It's the perfect night
To just drive on by
Let the dashboard underscore
Everything we've seen
While the world plays for our pleasure
On our windshield silver screen
And I don't know just where we're going
And I don't care where we've been
But we just coast on through
Coz while I'm here with you, you know
There's no place I'd rather be
No place I'd rather be
Such a quiet joy
Knowing that I'm your pick-up fix
And you're my favourite boy
You're feeling tired
And I'm bleary-eyed
And the highway lines
Pass by in two/four double-time
And we don't even recognise
A single name on the street signs
Nothing else is calling us
But all we've left behind
Is like a hell-hound on our trail
and a burden on our mind
Coz we knowâ¦
â¦we gotta go home.
Such a quiet joy
Driving anywhere
Knowing that you are there.
But you don't call,
You don't call me no more
And i waited all day
You know you'll always
If yer always tryin' to get to the top
You don't get to the bottom of nothin'!
Then you're gone before you know it;
You'd better stop! (STOP!)
Learn a little givin' and lovin'
It's been done before
C'mon, do it again!
Coz if it's good
Then you should share it round
What's the use of keeping
all the good things that you've found to yourself?
Learn a little, learn a little
Learn a little givin'
Learn a little, learn a little
Learn a little givin' and lovin'
You don't gotta keep no other man down
For you to get up
There's no need to worry
Just don't give away your self-respect
Coz if it's all you've got left
The rest don't really matter now anyway honey!
But give away love (GIVE IT!)
And give it for free
No strings attached
Just don't ask for it back
Learn a little, learn a little
Learn a little givin'
Learn a little, learn a little
Learn a little givin' and stop!
Givin! Learn a little givin'
It's been done before
C'mon do it again!
Learn a little, learn a little
Get up in the morning
I can't keep it in
I'm falling all over myself
And I could jump out of my skin
Wanna break the door down
Just to greet the day
Coz there ain't nothing that's more certain
To keep my blues away
And I say
(La la, hey hey)
And I say
(La la, hey hey)
And it can settle the sadness
And the voices in my head
When I'm in the glow of the warmth you throw
I can put all that to bed
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
In your light, just when I'm in your light
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
And I won't get by if you take that light away
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
And when you're smiling on me
That is all I need
To put behind me all my worry
And life's complexities
It may be only a moment
But the world just falls away
And I forget myself
And everything else
That depressed me yesterday
And I can sing
(La la, hey hey)
Yeah I sing
(La la, hey hey)
When I'm in your light
All of this is clear
If only I could always be just as I am right here
When I'm in your light, just when I'm in your light
And I won't get by if you take that light away
(La la, hey hey)
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
When I'm in your light
Nothing brings me down
If only I could always feel just as I do right now
When I'm in your light, just when I'm in your light
And I won't get by if you take that light away
When I'm in your light
All of this is clear
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
If only I could always be just as I am right here
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
In your light, just when I'm in your light
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
And I won't get by if you take that light away
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
No I won't get by if you take that light away
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
There was a time I was down, down
I didn't know what to do
I was just stumbling around, around
Thinking things could not improve
I couldn't look on the bright side
Of anything at all
That's when you gave me a call
Now I feel better, better, better than before
I feel better, better, better, now I'm not down any more
And there were times I was sure, so sure
I couldn't turn it around
I couldn't care any more
About the good things I found
That's when you gave me a reason
To make me smile again
I only have to see you and then
I feel better, better, better than before
I feel better, better, better, now I'm not down any more
I feel better, better, better than before
I feel better, better, better, now I'm not down any more
Life sometimes seems to get the best of you
Like everything just brings you down
Just when you think there's nothing you can do
A friendly face will bring you around
And you'll feel better
You'll feel better, you'll feel better,
Better than before
You'll feel better, much better
With our eyes wide open we... (x2)
So this is the end of the story
Everything we had, everything we did
Is buried in dust
And this dust is all that's left of us
And only a few ever worried
While the signs were clear
They had no idea
You just get used to living in fear
Or give up
When you can't even picture your future
We walk the plank with our eyes wide open
We walk the plank with our eyes wide open we
(walk the plank with our eyes wide open we)
Yeah we walk the plank with our eyes wide open we
(walk the plank with our eyes wide open we)
Some people offered up answers (questions)
We made out like we heard
They were only words
They didn't add up
To a change in the way we were living
And the saddest thing
Is all of it could have been avoided
But it was like to stop consuming's to stop being human
And why'd I make a change if you won't?
We're all in the same boat
Staying afloat for the moment
We walk the plank with our eyes wide open
(walk the plank with our eyes wide open we)
And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open we
(walk the plank with our eyes wide open we)
With our eyes wide open we
We walk the plank, we walk the plank
Live from day to the next day
Try to satisfy the cravings before they
Consume you
Colours are brighter
The world can excite you
When you're under its spell
You can tell
All too well
That without it life would be hell
And time is passing you by
It marks no moment of your life
When you submit yourself to be numb,
The fear disappears,
And everything seems clear
When the emptiness is upon you
It fills you up like a balloon
And you float
High up over the real world,
And think of when
You were a little girl again
Where would you go, baby?
What could you do?
Didn't you hear, baby?
Nothing is sure but uncertainty
You can feel the hunger inside you
But the longing will no longer guide you onwards,
Sinking into the floorboards
Where the rats eat at your will
And do it until,
Your belly aches
And your soul will not be still
Wrench yourself from your demons
For far too long you've believed them
When they told you you were weak
Take a step in the tunnel
With the light 'round the bend
In the end
You can start to make amends
Who knows where you'll go, baby
So much you could do!
Haven't you heard, baby?
All will be well
Instru
There were days when I would say:
âI could give you everythingâ
And I truly believed that I could
But now I'm worn out
What do you want?
What do you want from us?
To ask you this much is just a matter of trust
Not an affront
What do you want?
Few here'd be true to your point of view
If they knew
What you want
Who here would choose
To walk in those shoes
Even you can't
So what do you want?
What do you want from us?
What do you want
What do you want that you cannot say
Show us the faith we're supposed to display
Come what may…
You can't!
So what do you want?
What do you want from us?
It's a matter of trust
That you tell us just
What you want from us
Tiny pieces come to me every day
Still I wait
Things are falling into place
But so much time goes to waste
I stretch and shift
These parts won't fit
I can chop and change all I like
Rearranging this won't make it right
All doors are open.
You loved me yesterday
But said that you just couldn't stay
Now I can't get you out of my head
So many signs float by
But only you are signified
And I just can't get you out of my head
I can't get it right
I can't get you out of my mind
I can't get it right
I just can't get you out of my mind
Lately I'm concerned
These dark obsessions make me toss and turn
And I can't be unwound
Now you're not around
Dreams of you are all that hold me down
I can't get it right
I can't get you out of my mind
I can't get it right
Darlin' don't leave me out here in the cold
I'm begging you baby don't leave me out here on my own
I'll die,
If you don't hold me tight
Tonight,
I couldn't make it outside
If I tried,
So please let me in lover,
Be kind
Darlin' don't desert me in here it's so dark
Don't leave me here darlin' don't you know I can't stand to part
Oh but I'll stay,
If you promise to keep me safe,
I can't make it alone,
I'm afraid,
Oh my angel just don't go away
Please, don't leave me out here in the cold
Pick apart
The pieces of your heart
And let me peer inside
Let me in
Where only your thoughts have been
Let me occupy your mind
As you do mine
You have lost
Too much love
To fear, doubt and distrust
(It's not enough)
You just threw away the key
To your heart
You don't get burned
('Cause nothing gets through)
It makes it easier
(Easier on you)
But that much more difficult for me
To make you seeâ¦
Love ain't fair
So there you are
My love
Your heart's a mess
You won't admit to it
It makes no sense
But I'm desperate to connect
And you, you can't live like this
Your heart's a mess
You won't admit to it
It makes no sense
But i'm desperate to connect
And you, you cant't live like this
Your heart's a mess
You won't admit to it
It makes no sense
But i'm desperate to connect
And you, you cant't live like this
Love ain't safe
You won't get hurt if you stay chaste
So you can wait
You've been gone much longer
Than you ever said you had the plan to
I'm just gonna wait 'till you come home
Though I count the days, they're grey without you
The weather's much better when I think about you
I'm just gonna wait till you come home
Empty glasses, burnt out matches
Curtains drawn on near-full blackness
I'm sleeping through the day
You're coming home
To reclaim this heart you owned
Lover
Leave me
Make me burn
You're coming back!
You're coming back!
I'll wait patiently
For your return
You're coming back!
You're coming back!
I'm clutching at straws
I'm climbing up the walls
But every time I fall
Back into my hole
I'm feeling like a wretch
I'm looking for a catch
But you're an itch that I can't scratch
I know you're coming back
You've been gone so long you're fading
And it takes all the time I can find just retaining
Thoughts of things we did while you were here
Instru
If you don't want me now
Then you can't have me later
'Cause I won't wait for you
So don't expect me to
If you won't love me now
Then we'll be nothing after
So you had better stay
Lest I take my love away
You don't want to lose me
But you're loath to refuse me
And I know that you'll always choose me
Over anybody else
If you won't leave me now
You won't see me later
Leave me on my own
I need to be alone now
And though you want me now
You can wait 'till after
'Cause patience is a virtue my love
Here in this place
The stars will protect us with their celestial embrace
Here in this place
The slow wind sings gently to the rolling waves
I touch your face
And we leave conscious thought for the freedom of this drug-like daze
And I heard you say
Let's lose ourselves out here always
Lost in this haze
This prison of pleasures from which we want no escape
Cos here in this place
Our night's filled with passion and so are our days
I heard the moon say
To the sky, why do we bother with a timetable?
When it's clear as the rain
We're lovers forever, together we'll always stay
Here in this place
See the clouds begin to form
Feel that cold wind start to blow
I'll be waiting for you
Waiting for you
(Here in this place)
Waiting for you
(Here in this place)
Waiting for you
(Here in this place)
Waiting...
(Here in this place)
Waiting...
(Here in this place)
Tiny pieces come to me every day
Still I wait
Things are falling into place
But so much time goes to waste
I stretch and shift
These parts won't fit
I can chop and change all I like
Rearranging this won't make it right
All doors are open.
Beatles, The
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
With a little help from my friends
(Billy Shears)
What would you think if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends
What do I do when my love is away?
Does it worry you to be alone?
How do I feel by the end of the day?
Are you sad because you're on your own?
No I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm get high with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody? I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody? I want somebody to love
Would you believe in a love at first sight?
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can't tell you but I know it's mine
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm get high with a little help from my friends
Oh I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody? I just need somebody to love
Could it be anybody? I want somebody to love
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Oh I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends
This will teach them how to groove
All right, let's get aquatinted
(hello there)
music from the bass perspective
this is a journey into sound
a journey which along the way will to bring you
new color, new diminution, new values
and a new experience - stereophonic sound
(and now ladies and gentlemen, our feature act tonight)
(Stop!)
(Get it, get it, get it!)
Come on, Come on, Come on
That was the harpsichord
now-a-days, most homes seem to prefer
the television or radio, to the harpsichord,
but you still hear the piano, all the time
a flute couldn't do that
these are some of the difficulties
with being a disposition and talking to you
and just wanting really deeply to relate to you
and touch you - not physically - but with vibration
(ha ha ha ha)
never heard metal sound like that before
the drummer is the heartbeat
everything comes from him
he is the beat, the time, the heartbeat
it's just like a heart pumping blood
to the rest of the body
he is the heartbeat of a band, a group
he is the heartbeat
I think around midpoint in my career
I started to experiment with sounds
and then it became very important to
get a distinctive sound
get a distinctive sound
get a distinctive sound
maybe if I spend more time practicing,
eventually I can get it together
Um - here's some more music
All right! Here we go!
Now were going to use a little power kicks
like I showed you before
we're going to chuck-em real good
A-minor to F
just like all the heavy metal guys use, okay
lets get some of that smoke just like on MTV
yeah! all right!
music - all right
yeah! all right!
would you say that again
yeah! all right!
let's play a note
yeah! all right!
Here's some more music
yeah! all right!
get a distinctive sound
get a distinctive sound
get a distinctive sound
get a distinctive sound
We've covered a lot of ground, haven't we?
if there's a part of our story you don't understand
why don't you turn this record over
and start playing over again
over again
