i do love you and
Love is a two way street now
And two people got to know where to meet each other
The fast lane is a dead man's game
Do you really want to be enveloped in pain now baby
Let me tell you
(CHORUS)
Why don't you, why don't you, why don't you
Why don't you just leave me alone, leave me alone
The wanderlust don't go with trust
You're sitting down smoking saying don't worry about a thing
Your silly games just drive me insane
And I really don't care about taking the blame
Let me tell you now
(CHORUS)
Why don't you, why don't you, why don't you
Why don't you just leave me alone, leave me alone
Leave me alone
I've loved, I've hated there's so much time that's been wasted
Through the days, through the nights
The crazy telephone fights
(CHORUS)
Why don't you, why don't you, why don't you
You're talking candy from the jar
You spin the lid
which one first?
Desert of temptation
what soda will quench this thirst?
Don't wonna be left behind
The grass is always greener on the other side.
So don't you treat me like the first -
Chocolate in the box
I know you'll take another
What you want is a looker
not a lover in the box
'Cause I know you'll take another
what you want is a looker.
Not a lover I've discovered.
You want your cake and eat it with a silver spoon in your hand
Don't give me that innocent girl thing
'Cause I'll close the door with a slam.
Don't wanna be left behind
Chocolate in the box
I know you'll Take another
Chocolate in the box
I know you'll take another
Chocolate in the box
I know you'll take another
Chocolate in the box
I know you'll take another
Warmth from a streetlight
My mind is playing with its shadows
Lonely, no perfume on my pillow
Footsteps, I imagine what she's wearing
I am the detective, I solve the crime
The sound of the siren passes me by
Break my silence
I need you tonight, I need you now, I need you
Cos my silence is loud
My silence is loud
And I'm, I'm waiting. for the touch of skin on skin
Dreaming for the beauty of your body
I am the detective, I solved the crime
The sound of the siren passes me by
Break my silence
I need you tonight, I need you now, I need you
Cos my silence is loud
My silence is loud, loud
Expression
I get down to dry my hair
with a little touch of gel
I read all the newspapers
but my mother still reads my mail
I won? t wish my life away but
tell me if you can
Who decides when I? m grown up
and I? ve turned into a man
Drop the boy drop the boy
I? m a man, yes I am
but they still call me boy
Drop the boy drop the boy
I? m a man, yes I am
and I? ll be jumping for joy
when they drop the boy
I? m tired of the boy thing
I? ve got other things to do
I? d like to be in politics
can? t take another visit to the zoo
No more bikes or plastic models
and braces on my teeth
I? d like to drive a dino
and to live out of my reach
Drop the boy drop the boy
I? m a man, yes I am
but they still call me boy
Drop the boy drop the boy
I? m a man, yes I am
and I? ll be jumping for joy
when they drop the boy
Drop the boy drop the boy
I? m a man, yes I am
but they still call me boy
Drop the boy drop the boy
I? m a man, yes I am
and I? ll be jumping for joy
Drop the boy drop the boy
I? m a man, yes I am
but they still call me boy
Drop the boy drop the boy
I? m a man, yes I am
and I? ll be jumping for joy
Never look down on a lesser man
Don't judge a book by its cover
One man's duties in his life
Just might not fit another's
Remember the steps that you once climbed
For him the ladder might be higher
Never judge a book by its cover
(CHORUS)
So life's a heart beat for you
Take it with two hands don't lose it
Font let it stop on you
Gotta keep it beating
Gotta keep it beating should'n do
(beating just for you)
if you feel you should mimic the things you see
you should wipe the mirror clean
you might not be so pretty
you might be shocked by what you see
Remember the steps that you once climbed
For him the ladder might be higher
Never judge a book by its cover
(CHORUS)
Doesn't matter what you wear
Its just a shell
We can live in heaven
Not in hell
Beauty and beast rich and poor
We should all have an open door
I am a lonely man
Sitting at home waiting for you to call
But you never did, you left me by myself
Like a dusty picture that you leave upon the shelf
A soft breath, a steamy window
The writing on the glass says I love you
As I wipe it away the water's on my hand
A lonely man, a winter's day
(CHORUS)
I will never love again
You were my only love, my only friend
I will never love again
Now that you broke my heart it will never mend
Never mend
I say, little things like the beauty of touch
I said, I need you so much
I'm living in slow motion
You are my world my picture to point
This Is the one time that I disagree with fate
(CHORUS)
I will never love again
You were my only love, my only friend
I will never love again
Now that you broke my heart it will never mend
Never mend
Two people can't always be the same
Opposites attract I feel so much pain
Tears that don't dilute the past
You made your mark across my heart
(CHORUS)
I will never love again
You were my only love, my only friend
I will never love again
Now that you broke my heart it will never mend
Let love be our tutor
Let's learn by its mistakes
Let you be my future
Never have I feIt a love like this before
(CHORUS)
Cause you're my life, my never ending light
Love me tonight and forever
You're my life (oh baby)
Cause when you're in my arms the sun
Shines so bright
It's time to be together
It's now and forever
It feels like heaven when I'm with you
Never have I feIt a love like this before
(CHORUS)
Cause you're my life, my never ending light
Love me tonight and forever
You're my life (oh baby)
Cause when you're in my arms the sun
Shines so bright
No mountain is high enough for me to climb
No river is strong enough to stop me from getting by
I will do, I will do anything you want me to do
(CHORUS)
Cause you're my life, my never ending light
Love me tonight and forever
You're my life (oh baby)
Cause when you're in my arms the sun
Gold watch, big car, nice clothes
Now you're living where the big fat sugar daddy goes
Hey! Girlie, girl you're living on the big screen
So don't play innocent with me
Cos I know where you've been
What you get is what you see
Can't break me down cos I believe in me in me
All l wanted was just a little of respect
But if sex is all you want. lay down on the bed
See what you get
(CHORUS)
Don't go loving me no, don? t you love me now
Don't go messing me around
You better, you better watch yourself
Don't go loving me now, don? t you love me
You knocked my soul to the ground
So don't go loving me now
Love, respect, honesty and trust
These are the things you took in yourself
And traded in lust
You're playing a game, have you no shame
You tried to make me feel special,
But how could I believe
What you get is what you see
Can't break me down cos I believe in me in me
All l wanted was just a little of respect
But if sex is all you want. lay down on the bed
See what you get
(CHORUS)
Don't go loving me no, don? t you love me now
Don't go messing me around
You better, you better watch yourself
Don't go loving me now, don? t you love me
You knocked my soul to the ground
Materialistic girl
There used to be a time
When we would share
Everything we ever hade together
But then you met a man
Who had so much more than I
I'm gonna tell you what he had
(CHORUS)
He had the money to put the diamonds on your rings
Money to put the furs on your back (YUK!)
Money to give you everything
Everything you never had with me
Materialistic girl don't do it to me girl
I always said material things
Should not rule our lives
But you cant get enough
I'm giving you an exemption
So you can take the milk and honey
Is this the meaning of love
(CHORUS)
But did you have nothing
Nothing with me
So its time
So set this love free
(CHORUS)
Money you never know
Might have had it one day girl
Money you never know, we might have been together
Money but did you go thru lovin another
Rough with the smooth rough with the smooth
Don't let money control your feelings
Screaming in silence
fast on her feet
nervously feeling fear on the street.
No moving traffic
only the odd wing in the air
a shaft of light
a strand of hair
no time
no time to despair.
There's a cat among the pigeons
there's a pain in her chest
while the cat's among the pigeons there'll be no rest.
Gasping for breath in the cold of the night
patiently waiting for love at first sight.
Yes is the answer
but as the wind takes her hair
a piston thrust
a moment shared
no time
no time to despair.
There's a cat among the pigeons
there's a pain in her chest
while the cat's among the pigeons he'll take the best.
And the world keeps turning
and the boy keeps learning
who will be the one to put the cat among the pigeons now?
There's a cat among the pigeons
there's a pain in her chest
while the cat's among the pigeons there'll be no rest.
There's a cat among the pigeons
there's a pain in her chest
while the cat's among the pigeons he'll take the best.
Take a walk, look don't talk
Take your life in your own hands
Kicking ass on the grass (for what)
Just for a couple of dimes
It goes tick tock, tick tock, tick tock (oh)
Cos they're mixed up, pumped up, drugged up (oh)
(CHORUS)
We can't take it we just can't take
Can't blame it on the sign of the times
No hand shake just heartbreak
It's just another man shot in the back
Shot in the back, shot in the back
Cant you see what you've got
You've got your lives in your back pockets
No second chance dreams of the past
It's just a crazy life sleeping in pain
It goes tick tock, tick tock, tick tock (oh)
Cos they're mixed up, pumped up, drugged up (oh)
(CHORUS)
We can't take it we just can't take
Can't blame it on the sign of the times
No hand shake just heartbreak
It's just another man shot in the back
My head is sore
I'm a tortured man
am I encased in this devil's plan?
I'm in pain
I've been rearranged
my conception of love is new.
Why am I running
runing away from everything that I wanted to do?
Too much love and I don't wanna lose it
- I don't wanna lose it -
don't wanna be lonely like before.
All that I wanna do is be madly in love with you
- I don't wanna lose it -
you.
Escape
escape from this tickertape
I'm underground
oh yeah.
A circle's been drwan
it's lonely dawn
should I pencil in this emptiness?
The lesson I've learnt is don't run from it
so go with it!
Too much love and I don't wanna lose it
- I don't wanna lose it -
don't wanna be lonely like before.
All that I wanna do is be madly in love with you
- I don't wanna lose it -
you.
- I don't wanna lose it -
you.
Too much love and I don't wanna lose it
- I don't wanna lose it -
don't wanna be lonely like before.
All that I wanna do is be madly in love with you
- I don't wanna lose it -
Alone is now
Then was together
I have only memories
That make me feel better
Time alone is my only drug
Ill never forget my sister
She was torn between two worlds
Of a city and a suburb
Were her shouts of anger
And frustration ever heard
But she
(CHORUS)
Didn't get out in time no
She didn't no she didn't
Get out in time
Was the future blind
Sister, oh sister
You're on our minds
A city girl
A future to find
Frozen footsteps so cold
Back in time
A big mistake a wrong move
The lord moves in mysterious ways
She was torn between two worlds
Of a city and a suburb
Were her shouts of anger
And frustration ever heard
But she
You treat me like a monkey in a cage you just dig and tease
When you light the flame it needs air to breathe
When you ridicule Can't you see that you're the fool
Oh its just a waste of time
So why don't you give me some space
Why don't you get outo my face
Why don't you make the world a better place
Why don't you give me some space
You treat me like a lapdog on a lead that you can tame
But its not to lead it's a choker chain
Can't you see you antagonise I've weighed you up to size
Too heavy my scales have busted
So why don't you give me some space
Why don't you get outo my face
Why don't you make the world a better place
Why don't you give me some space
It's not easy to rise to your applause
When they've got you by the clause
I'm the fly that built the spider's web
That's what the people on the first floor said
(CHORUS)
It's just another tear falls on my pillow
A frozen emotion that dries on my face
Sleepless nights just contemplating
Just another tear that leaves no trace
(They call it, call it) Just another tear
My night times not for sleeping
(They call it, call it) Just another tear
I've got to shake this feeling
When you shake hands, cross your fingers
Cos I know that deceipt tends to linger
I scratch your back and you stab mine
Now I know that the winner is judged by time
(CHORUS)
It's just another tear falls on my pillow
A frozen emotion that dries on my face
Sleepless nights just contemplating
Just another tear that leaves no trace
(They call it, call it) Just another tear
My night times not for sleeping
(They call it, call it) Just another tear
When a friend betrays
You can hit rock bottom
Love and trust
Forgotten
Love and trust forgotten
I see a streak of deceipt and lies
You're living in a man-made paradise
Don't bite the that feeds you
If you bite it too hard it will only bleed
Don't bite the hand that that feeds you
You've bitten, you've bitten too hard
You've bitten too hard
When you go to shake a hand
Do you see the watch before you see the man
What goes up must come down
Do you hold out your hand
Or would you let him drown
Don't bite the that feeds you
If you bite it too hard it will only bleed
Don't bite the hand that that feeds you
You've bitten, you've bitten too hard
Do you open your hand
Or make a fist
Do you wipe the brow or hit hard
I can see what you're doing to me
You're feeding off my insecurity
Naivety is the word
So don't bite the that feeds you
If you bite it too hard it will only bleed
Don't bite the hand that that feeds you
You've bitten, you've bitten too hard
Don't you know you've bitten you've bitten
You start to steal and you ask to lend
You need the shit like a latest trend
Drugs don? t drop you don? t need that crap
You can be bad but not like that
You better be?
(CHORUS)
Streetwise streetwise don? t pretend
And if someone tries to give he's your friend
Streetwise streetwise to the end
Its like the latest trend
Its like the latest trend
It always ends
Its just a one way dead just a dead end street
No place to turn and no place to meet
You don? t get a second throw no not in this game
And if you? ve ever seen a player they all end the same
Like?.
(CHORUS)
You start to steal and you ask to lend
You need the shit like a latest trend
Drugs don? t drop you don? t need that crap
You can be bad but not like that
Street street
(CHORUS)
Don? t steal off your Mammas
Don? t steal off your Fathers
Don? t steal off your Brothers
Don? t steal off your Friends
Cos they? re the ones who love you
They stay with you forever
I say faces are changing, faces are gathering
the good times brought people to my door
I need an outstretched, open hand, with a little understanding
to pick me up and dust me from this floor
people from the good times that was easy
but people from the bad times i thank you cos
(Chorus)
Changes make faces come and go
got a look in your eyes it's the only way I know
changes make faces come and go
eyes on you face are the windows to your soul
(to your soul)
On body there's a footprint
in my mind an imprint
in your eyes just a little glint of guilt
I've taken the ride I've paid the fare
now stop me if you, stop me if you dare
people from the good times that was easy
but people from the bad times i thank you (cos)
(Chorus)
changes make faces come and go
got a look in your eyes it's the only way I know
changes make faces come and go
eyes on your face are the windows to your soul
(to your soul)
But people from the bad times I thank you
(Chorus)
Changes make faces come and go
got a look in your eyes it's the only way I know
changes make faces come and go
eyes on your face are the windows to your soul
You're a twilight creature
You slide out at night
Pretty girls dancing in the floor
They're the hook and you bite
Who do you think you are
They need their privacy
Cant you take the hint you club fool
Let them be
(CHORUS)
A club fool is a girls nightmare
Shark of the floor you better beware
A club fool is girls nightmare
Gonna change the rules cos we got
Something new
Don't drool don drool
You're nothing you're nothing but
A club fool
You're a scheming demon
What fives you the liberty
Got no thought for others
Contempt breeds immunity
Who do you think you are
You should be on the shelf
Better respect others
As you would respect yourself
Three o'clock in the morning
As my day is dawning
The early bird is singing
I should be sleeping now
Can you see it in my eyes
I bet It comes as no surprise to you
And you know my heart is yearning
For your love
(CHORUS)
Are you mine, are you mine,
We will stand the test of time
Are you the one and only girl
Darkness of no-man's land is close at hand
A perfect pair love's declared
(no protection) from my lovin'
I have thrown away my pride
I just cant be denied no more
I can feel my world rotating (gyrating)
Are you mine
(CHORUS)
Are you mine, are you mine,
We will stand the test of time
Are you the one and only girl
Distance makes the heart grow fonder
These are the words that make time take longer
Out of sight out of mind
You know these are the words that blow my mind
Distance makes make our love much stronger
My lonely nights make my memories fonder
Out of sight out of mind
You know these are the words that blow my mind
You know they shatter into love, into love
(CHORUS)
Are you mine, are you mine,
We will stand the test of time
Brick walls and windows
Reflect in the light,
Fabric so limp hiding the night
People almost families
Building their nests,
God knows it's perfect,
Ten out of ten
Concrete views and vistas
Lining the sky
Washing so grey hung out to dry
Families almost happy
Learning their lines,
From crib to cradle,
Ten out of ten
Ten out of ten
Over and over again
Back to the future
Back to the end
Tent poles and canvas
Concealing the grass
Modern fakers walking on glass
New generation they never pretend
Well done children,
Ten out of ten
Ten out of ten
Over and over again
Back to the future
Back to the end
Overloaded arks suitable for rain
Animals with doubles
Biblical but strange
It's home on the range.
Ten out of ten
Over and over again
Back to the future
Ten out of ten
Over and over again
Ten out of ten
Over and over again
Back to the future
I say green is the colour, it's the colour of our land
It was painted, created by his hand
Say what's the master plan to save the promised land
And who'll, who'll heal her wounds, for us and our children
Let me tell you now
We're the reason why there'll be no birds up in the sky
We got to put our hands together cos we're running out of time
(CHORUS)
We've got to stop it now, we've got to try
We've got to stop it now, we've got to try
The land and the seas, these are the beauties that bleed
The skies that are weeping
But what about the mouths that need feeding
let me tell you now
We're the reason why there'll be no birds up in the sky
We got to put our hands together cos we're running out of time
(CHORUS)
We've got to stop it now, we've got to try
Shocked shocked to the core
My very existence has been
thrown out the door
Couldn? t sleep, couldn? t eat
Couldn? t believe the news off the street
Well I? m shocked shocked
Shocked to the core
Shocked shocked to the core
Not even money can find a cure
Is there hope and a prayer
What will become of my world
Well I care
Still I? m shocked shocked
Shocked to the core
It? s a killer it? s a killer
That threatens the centre of life
So beware of the killer of dreams
And of life and of love as we know it
Couldn? t eat couldn? t sleep
I couldn? t believe the news off the street
Well I? m shocked shocked
Shocked to the core
Not even money can find a cure
Is there hope and a prayer
What will become of my world
well I care
Still I? m shocked shocked
shocked to the core
My very existence thrown out the door
Couldn? t eat, couldn? t sleep
I couldn? t believe the news off the street
I sat at home and watched
The world go by on a screen
I never questioned
Never doubted that I could dream
I was a loner the phone would never ring
At least not for me
And now I look back and I can see that when we first met
You've changed my life
I've no regrets
So many times I've been left
Saying why didn't I make a move
I could see it in our eyes
Girl its not a lie
But your look just soothes
This time I'm not gonna run away
To save my foolish pride
No false pretences no walls
No fences I'm not gonna hide
Now you know that I'm madly in love
Hey girl I'm still so madly
Does it show that I'm madly in love
Listen all that I wanna do
Is be madly in love with you
There's a six foot wall that stood between us
That I never thought I could climb
But the way you came on to me it nearly blew me
Blew the wall from my mind
This time there's a brand of new feeling
That I never ever felt before
Girl you're just a walking magnet
And this time its me that you've drawn
Now you know that I'm madly in love
Hey girl I'm still so madly
Does it show that I'm madly in love
Listen all that I wanna do
Is be madly in love with you
I know you don't get what you want
If you don't put up a fight
And I know that the game that I've played
I've thrown the right dice
This time there's a brand of new feeling
That I never ever felt before
Girl you're just a walking magnet
And this time its me that you've drawn
Now you know that I'm madly in love
Hey girl I'm still so madly
Does it show that I'm madly in love
Listen all that I wanna do
Is be madly in love with you
So now you know how I feel
Does it change the way you think of me
So don't you let it be
You are all I need and you're all I see
You've changed my life
I've no regrets
This time there's a brand of new feeling
That I never ever felt before
Girl you're just a walking magnet
And this time its me that you've drawn
Now you know that I'm madly in love
Hey girl I'm still so madly
Does it show that I'm madly in love
Listen all that I wanna do
You've a head too big for your body and a mouth too wide for your face
An ego as big as a mountain and in those clothes - you look a disgrace
Girlfriends love to hate you and you relish all their spite
Now your family's disowned you and you certainly know - wrong from right
(?...?)
Well I love to hate you, Ooh I'd hate to love you-ou-ou
Love to hate you, ooh yeah
Ooh I'd hate to love you but I just can't help myself
Loving you babe - I can't help myself (Ooh I love to hate you)
How come you have this power when you're only five-foot-four
Surely you come from this world, yet the men come flocking - to your door
Oooh, you gotta a certain way of sitting
A body language of your own, something like a magnet
Please leave - leave me alone (leave me alo-o-one)
Well I love to hate you (hate you)
Ooh I'd hate to love you-ou (love you-ou-ou)
Lo-ove to hate you, ooh yeah-eah
Ooh I'd hate to love you but I just can't help myself
Loving you babe, you drive people crazy
With one look from your eyes, oh-oh-oh-oh
Lo-lo-lo-lo-love, lo-lo-love to hate you (hate you, hate you)
Ooh I'd hate to love you-ou (love you-ou-ou, love you-ou-ou)
Love to hate you (love to hate you, hate you)
Ooh I'd hate to love you but I just can't help myself
Loving you babe, (love to hate you) loving you babe, loving you babe
Ooh I'd hate to love you-ou-ou (love you-ou-ou)
Love to hate you, yeah-oh-oh
Ooh I'd hate to love you but I just can't help myself
Loving you babe (Love to hate you), love to hate you
Ooh I'd hate to love you-ou, yeah, Love to hate you, yeah-oh-oh
Ooh I'd hate to love you but I just can't help myself
I'm tied and I'm hurting
I'm trapped in this fencing
It's fear that keeps me in
and barbed wire keeps me out
so tired and so pale
It's a jungle out there, there
I am just a prisoner
help me to survive that
jungle out there, there
Help help me please
help me to survive that
jungle out there, there
I'm caged and I'm hungry
I'm bound to this fury
Welcome to the circus, get a ticket
Three rings and a clown
I'm trapped so free me now
It's a jungle out there, there
I am just a prisoner
help me to survive that
jungle out there, there
Help help me plesae
help me to survive that
Most of my friends were strangers when I met them
Familitary breeds contempt.
Well
I'm better alone that in company
So get out and stay out of my life.
I'm at the point
I'm at the point where I quit.
I've had enough
I've had it right up to here now
I'm taking a break
well
I quit
yeah
I said I quit
yeah!
With this view and that new opinion when I see them
I don't need another pain in the neck.
Well
nobody listens to losers
So when you're surrounded by fools
Who needs another
who needs another clever dick.
I've had enough
I've had it right up to here now
I'm takin a break
I quit.
I've had it right up to here now
I'm taking a break
I quit
I quit.
I quit
yeah
I've had enough
I'll watch you crumble, Like a very old wall (ooh)
