Thunder - all thru the night
Promise to see Jesus in the morning light
Take my hand, it'll be alright
C'mon save your soul tonight
Oooo - Thunder
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Love - nobody know just how it was born
Love - first came to me with the radio on
Jumped up in my body with an attitude
Kissed me on the mouth and said "Your leader take me to"
'Twas like thunder all thru the night
And a promise to see jesus in the morning light
Love say "Take my hand, it'll be alright
C'mon save your soul tonight"
Love's kiss was running all thru my veins
The bed started shakin', I don't know who to blame
Me or this flower right in front of my eyes
Is this my sweet savior or the devil in disguise
'Twas like thunder (oh) all thru the night (all through)
Promise to see jesus in the morning light
Love say "Take my hand, it'll be alright
C'mon save your soul tonight"
Thunder - hey hey
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
(it was truly truly)
Like rain falling on a window pane
Tears came to my eyes when I asked her name
Made me holler when it finally came
Said "Only the children born of me will remain"
'Twas like thunder all thru the night
And a promise to see Jesus in the morning light (mornin' light)
Love say "Take my hand, it'll be alright
C'mon save your soul tonight"
Thunder
It will be all right (all right)
(it was truly like thunder)
Don't do it like that, do it like this
Oh oh (thunder) oh oh (thunder) oh ohhhhhh
Thunder (thunder)
(thunder)
(it was truley truly like)
Like thunder (thunder) all thru the night (thunder yeah)
Promise to see Jesus in the morning light (it will be all right)
Love say "Take my hand, it'll be alright (it's gonna be alright)
C'mon save your soul tonight"
Ooooo Thunder

I came down to see you
But you were never there
You were always lonely somewhere
I came down to LOVE you
But you were never there
You're always partying somewhere
Hold on, don't leave me lonely
Hold on, don't leave me lonely
Hold on, don't go without me
Tell me what's the game now
I'm feeling kind of jealous
You're going out with friends now somewhere
I'm gonna get my guitar
And strum down all the pain
I think I'm going crazy
Beware
Hold on, don't leave me lonely
Hold on, don't leave me lonely
Hold on, don't go without me
I'm gonna let nobody
Gonna let nobody love you
Gonna let nobody love
Thunder bloody bloody thunder
Bloody thunder is on its way
Thunder bloody bloody thunder
Bloody thunder is on its way
Thunder bloody bloody thunder
Bloody thunder is on its way
Thunder bloody bloody thunder
Bloody thunder is on its way
I came down to see you
But you were never there
You just left me lonely somewhere
Hold on, don't leave me lonely
Hold on, don't leave me lonely
Hold on, don't leave me lonely
Hold on, don't leave me lonely tonight
Hold on, don't leave me lonely
Hold on.....
I'm gonna let nobody
Gonna let nobody love you

Look at the fire and follow the light
dancing around in the night
look at it's flames burning up, reaching out for the Sky
That is the way I could say how I feel
feeling the flame burning me
flowin' inside out my blood cold as steel
like a Thunder my Rage
Could explode in your face
Like a Thunder my Rage
Like a Thunder ...
I feel Fire is burning inside
my reason's losing the fight
my lust for Vengeance is calling and claiming my Pride
Look at the fire and follow the light
dancing around in the night
look at it's flames burning up, reaching out for the Sky
like a Thunder my Rage
Could explode in your face
Like a Thunder my Rage
Like a Thunder ...
SOLO: THÖRSEN/RAIN
like a Thunder my Rage
Could explode in your face
Like a Thunder my Rage
Like a Thunder ...
Silence.
Omens...
For pain shall come and change shall run
down through my heart
and shake my knees
and NOW it is coming,
all round is the humming
of the World.
Too late! With my balance gone,
dead eyed doll,
I'm falling, falling
I had to cross the line to leave you behind
With hopes to find some peace of mind
Now I'm looking for your voice
through the chitter-chatter
that doesn't matter that's
torn and tattered these angels on a ladder
This laughter
Strip away the extra plaster
I'm crashing fast
it's the morning after
Through the hum and the buzz
The thickness and the fuzz
I jump over puddles to stomp through the sludge
Look for me through the wind and rain
Sunshine remember my name
I'll be coming yes I'm running oh I'm on my way
Just stay and I'll be there by the break of day
Look for me through the wind and rain
Thunder remember my name
I'll be coming yes I'm running oh I'm on my way
Just stay and I'll be there by the break of day
I had to evacuate the premises
you're your own nemesis
The premises you're born and blood and
leave the world penniless
I had to remember that there's
darkness before the exodus
Split the sea
We'll flee to the next
Come and vent with us
I had to send and blend out
Spent it all on sentences fend
off the members of relentless pessimists
I had to miss the world
Looking for the core
Cure my heart so I can live more
Look for me through the wind and rain
Sunshine remember my name
I'll be coming yes I'm running oh I'm on my way
Just stay and I'll be there by the break of day
Look for me through the wind and rain
Thunder remember my name
I'll be coming yes I'm running oh I'm on my way
Just stay and I'll be there by the break of day
Thunder
Remember my name Thunder
Remember my name
City lights shine and I'm on my way
This time tomorrow I'll be on my way
At the break of day I look for you at sunrise
When the tide comes in I lose my disguise
Look for me through the wind and rain
Sunshine remember my name
I'll be coming yes I'm running oh I'm on my way
Just stay and I'll be there by the break of day
Look for me through the wind and rain
Thunder remember my name
I'll be coming yes I'm running oh I'm on my way
Just stay and I'll be there by the break of day Day...
Thunder
You feel it in your chest
Thunder
(M. Anthony/K. Krome)
When the moon is out it starts to shine
Thunder crashes want to make you mine
The sky lights up in my mind
Fireworks between us you'll find
And its thunder
The spell that I'm under
It's thunder
I see lightning crash
And its thunder
Oh how our love flashes
It's thunder
Don't need no other feeling
All the others their just the same
But oh my baby your a hurricane
Let me be your battered angel
So you can be my tattered devilAnd its thunder
The spell that I'm under
It's thunder
I see lightning crash
And its thunder
Oh how our love flashes

Don't need no other feeling
Your my teenage fire
That's in my heart
Now our flaming love is gonna start
Oh its gonna start

That’s for sure
No one made me feel like this before

You stroke a .. in me
And take much time
What you supposed to hit me
Back to life
No one is gonna break us down
When they are gonna hear the sound
chorus
Is crushing down like thunder
Is the spell that I am under
I have been running for cover
I am running
Just it .. down on me
Crushing down like thunder
It’s raining in heaven baby x3
Stay by you forever and a day
That’s the promise that I make

Crushing down like thunder
Oh, sevens worth a say, like a lie, five and one
My favourite died in pain, by a guy, son of a gun
He jumped through the horse I guess,
Disappeared, no mess
Hell! We'll just have to rest, follow me down,
If you caan, Follow slowly.
Thus enter as we may, by a hole, in the floor.
Deep darker than the black, seemed to hear,
Many a rat.
Tried harder as I fought, Thought my life,
Finally brought.
Knees trembling in my legs,
Wish to get out, out and about
Out and about.
Hre, now, fear, let me free
Now, here, now.
Don't leave me fast here, oh please
You won't let me live again!!
This way.
come, don't be so afraid, by the fire, sit beside
Change all your whims and cares
To the tide of the night
This thought occurred to me,
Did the ghost, disappear
Fire deep my heart my soul, chase him off,
Very clear, very clearly.
The wind is still
And the night is long
The morning brings on the sun
Rain now forever
When this I found
My coming would bring on the sound
(I am the thunder)
That starts the rain
(I see the heavens)
Open the gates
(I am the lightning)
That lights up the sky
(I have the answer)
The secret is mine
Whoa-woah
The secret is mine
From heaven in Neptune
The raging seas
Moonlight in nations and kings
For ages and ages
My messengers bring
Songs for the angels to sing
Sing it
(I am the thunder)
That starts the rain
(I see the heavens)
Open the gates
(I am the lightning)
That lights up the sky
(I have the answer)
The secret is mine
I am fire at night
I am the cold of the night
The valley's echo is mine
My legend lives on through time
Bang!
Giants and saucers
They cannot withstand
The power I hold in my hands
Meekness is weakness
And I'll surpass
My strength to my own vengeant last
(I am the thunder)
That starts the rain
(I see the heavens)
Open the gates
(I am the lightning)
That lights up the sky
(I have the answer)
The secret is mine
Whoa!
The secret is mine
Yeah!
Today is a winding road that's taking me
To places that I didn't want to go, whoa
Today in the blink of an eye
I'm holding on to something
And I do not know why I tried
I tried to read between the lines
I tried to look in your eyes
I want a simple explanation
For what I'm feeling inside
I gotta find a way out
Maybe there's a way out
Your voice was the
Soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder
I said, your eyes
Are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder
Today is a winding road, tell me where to start
And tell me something I don't know, whoa
Today I'm on my own, I can't move a muscle
And I can't pick up the phone, I don't know
And now I'm itching for the tall grass
And longing for the breeze
I need to step outside
Just to see if I can breathe
I gotta find a way out
Maybe there's a way out
Your voice was the
Soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder
And I said, your eyes
Are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
Yeah, I'm walking on a tightrope
I'm wrapped up in vines, I think we'll make it out
But you just gotta give me time
Strike me down with lightning
Let me feel you in my veins
I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain
Today is a winding road that's taking me
To places that I didn't want to go, whoa
Your voice was the
Soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder
And I said, your eyes
Are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
And I said, your voice was the
Soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
Oh, baby bring on the pain
Verse One:
Sometimes my life, gets stuck out in ther rain
I have more stress, and even more pain
I get drenched, stuck in the downpour
I need someone, to repair my inner core
I feel renewed, struck by lightning
I do not need, to keep on fighting
I feel the power, in the loud roar
Electrified, by my inner core
Chorus:
Thunder, the new sound of life
Thunder, deafens all of my strife
Thunder, releases the power within
Thunder, helps a new life begin
Thunder, loud roars take over you
Thunder, your life is renewed
Bridge:
You walk inside, dripping water on the floor
You have avoided, another downpour
No longer struck, your life seems so good
If it does not, well, maybe it should
(Matt Thomas/The Mavis's - Mushroom)
Roll like thunder
small splinter underneath
your pale painted skin
don't let anyone else in
Roll like thunder
small splinter underneath
your pale painted skin
don't let anyone else in
And you said that I
let it be a lesson
come and take and more
or less you lose some
I will stay here in your imagination,
your imagination
your imagination
Where is the face I love
twisting into knots and pain?
you can't sleep forever what
if you miss your passing train?
And you said that I
let it be a lesson
come and take and more
or less you lose some
I will stay here in your imagination,
your imagination
your imagination
And you said that I
let it be a lesson
come and take and more
or less you lose some
I will stay here in your imagination,
your imagination
your imagination
Roll like thunder
small splinter underneath
your pale painted skin
don't let anyone else in
Roll like thunder
small splinter underneath
your pale painted skin
don't let anyone else in
When you close your eyes
I feel like I'm in heaven
When you're in my arms
I never want to leave you
No matter where you're going
What can I do that's not wrong
When will my world turn around
Stand by me
I'll never let you go
Hold me close
I love you so
Is it just my heart
Lyin' to my head
Stand by me
When you close your eyes
I feel like I'm in heaven
What can I say that's not wrong
Gonna pour a cup of coffee
And a cigarett
First thing this morning I took a walk outside
The situation weighing heavy on my mind
I was thinking, trying to clear my brain
Seeking inspiration from the pouring rain
It's so funny how the seasons change
Just like a turning novel page
Baby, I'm afraid our day is done
Just like the setting of the sun
There ain't no way we could ever carry on
And I don't wanna say it
But the fire is gone
Just know one reason that I can get
All I do know is, this ain't no way to live
There's no passion, there's no desire
If I said that I still love
You know I'd be a liar
it's so tought trying to fix my mistakes
'Cause they're harder than to make
Baby, I'm afraid our day is done
Just like the setting of the sun
There ain't no way we could ever carry on
And I don't wanna say it
But the fire is gone
Gone, yeah
Got to, got to roll
It's so funny how the seasons change
But now we've got to turn the page
Baby, I'm afraid our day is done
Just like the setting of the sun
There ain't no way we could ever carry on
And I don't wanna say it
But the fire is gone
Oh, the fire is gone
I don't wanna say it to you baby
Father's gone crazy, he stares out the window all day
Watching the same streets where once as a kid he would play
There's no hope in his eyes anymore
He's forgotten what he was hoping for
And the postman walks straight past the door
There's no news today
Someone save me from this forgotten town
Or I'll go crazy in this forgotten town
'Cos when they lay me down, it won't be here
Mother's been drinking, she smokes nearly three packs a day
Once she was so pretty, but time's taken it all away
Every promise she heard was a lie
about the future, how it would be right
And I won't understand all my life
how she gets thru the day
'Cos there's no way out of this forgotten town
So you live your life out in this forgotten town
The only way is down, when dreams don't come true
No not for you, no no
There's no hope in his eyes anymore
He's forgotten what he was hoping for
And the postman walks straight past the door
There's no news today
Someone save me from this forgotten town
Or I'll go crazy in this forgotten town
There's no way out of this forgotten town
So you live your life out in this forgotten town
Until you're in the ground it's all you can do
It's all you can do now
Talking to a friend of mine this morning
He told me how his life was gonna change
All the reaching for the skies
And dreams unrealised
Had left him alone with his pain
And he just couldn't face it again
I said, don't you believe in tomorrow?
'Cause today's just a scene in the play
You might get some bad breaks and you'll make your mistakes
But you can't live your life in a day
Fifteen years old and on the outside
You got your face against the window looking in
Old enough to see, but too young to be free
in a grown up world loaded with sin
And your folks, they don't get your frustration
'Cos they can't recall feeling that way
So you fight, and you hate, but you'll just have to wait
'Cos you can't live your life in a day
It always seems life went so fast when it's gone
but when you're waiting for something it drags no and on
You can't take no comfort when everyone says
You'll look back and laugh at today
I said, don't you believe in tomorrow?
'Cause today's just a scene in the play
ou might get some bad breaks and you'll make your mistakes
But you can't live your life in a day
cause tomorrow will always be comming
it's the one thing they can't take away
and you'll lose and you'll win
and you'll do it again
But you can't live your life in a day
No you can't live your life in a day
What you gonna do when you're caught with your hand in the till?
And who's gonna tell them that you won't when you probably will?
If you're just a common crook who's the guy to sell your book?
Who's the only man, can make you look like your nearly a saint
When you ain't?
Somebody better get me a spin doctor
Somebody won't you call me a spin doctor
Oh yeah, mmm
Power broker suited, booted sitting on a gilded fence
Lying and a-cheating and a-covering up the evidence
But when the fingers start to point, who's the man to clean the joint?
If only he'd been with me when I got in late the other night
That's right!
Somebody better get me a spin doctor
Somebody won't you call me a spin doctor
I know when I'm wrong that he'll make it right
Adjusting the truth and making it look like a breeze
Call that man for me please
Napoleon wasn't short, he was only of diminished size!
The Krays loved their Mother and a politician never lies! heh heh
If perception leaves a nasty stain, he can make you white again
He's a master of illusion turning dirty water into wine
All the time!
Somebody better get me a spin doctor
Somebody won't you call me a spin doctor
There's only one man, can turn it around
My image is short,
I don't wanna drown in this sleaze
Hire that man for me please
Down on my knees
I've been thinking about it so long now
Wanna quit the smoke and move on out
I've been missing something, I've been changing fast
Just took 'til now to work it out
I wanna feel the distance, I wanna see the sky
I wanna sit and watch that river flow
I can't wait forever and if I'm gonna reap
I've gotta sew
So I'm gonna shake the tree and go
Got a beautiful woman, got the friends I need
All I'd be leaving is this place
I was born and raised here and the roots run deep
But I've gotta put that smile back on my face
See the colours changing as the seasons turn around
No traffic booming in my ears
I'd maybe miss the madness
But I've seen enough of that to let me know
That i've gotta shake the tree and go
Move on out now, oh
Here we go
I've been thinking about it for so long now
Wanna quit the smoke and move on out
I've been missing something, I've been changing fast
Just took 'til now to work it out
I wanna feel the distance, I wanna see the sky
I wanna sit and watch that river flow
I can't wait forever and if I'm gonna reap
I've gotta sew
I've gotta shake the tree and go
I've gotta shake the tree and go
Move out of the City
Cash my chips and quit
I can't believe the conversation we just had, came like a bolt out of the blue
You said you couldn't see a future anymore for me and you
It feels like someone's dropped a bomb upon my life
And I can't help wondering who's to blame
You thrust a dagger oh so deep into my heart
And I'm slain, all you left me is the pain
'Cos you stole my soul, then you broke my heart
And I don't know why, but I'm still yearning
Darling in my mind you've frozen the hands of time
Because today the world stopped turning
I was numb at first but now it's sinking in
Don't think I've felt this way before
It wasn't easy but I let my feelings show, and you slammed the door
I gave you all the space you needed in your life
How could I give you anymore?
You told me that you really didn't understand
So what's the score, what did I take the trouble for?
'Cos you stole my soul, then you broke my heart
And I don't know why, but I'm still yearning
Darling in my mind you've frozen the hands of time
Because today the world stopped turning
The world stopped turning
(Solo)
I gave you all the space you needed in your life
How could I give you anymore?
You told me that you really didn't understand
So what's the score, what did I take the trouble for?
'Cos you stole my soul, then you broke my heart
And I don't know why, but I'm still yearning
Darling in my mind you've frozen the hands of time
Because today the world stopped turning
The world stopped turning
I'm disintegrating, I'm faling to pieces
Wishing I was far from here
You, that's what it's al about
I've givne you everything
But it's not enough
Maybe I'll fade into the sun
Would you cry? Would you notice I was gone?
If I fade into the sun
You talk like I'm not in the room
Are you patronizing me to put me in my place?
I'm erased by you, you see through me on a clear day
But I know I've gotta get away, away from you
But when I fade into the sun
I'll be alone without a horse, no hat, no gun
If i faded into the sun
Overwhelmed by al the underhanded things you do
Is it fear or just illusion that's keeping me with you?
What's keeping me with you?
Just string the fool along while you're killing the time, yeah
Maybe there's somebody better you're hoping to find in your mind
Maybe I'll fade into the sun
Would you cry, would you notice I was gone?
If I fade into the sun
Would you notice I was gone?
Would your whole world come undone?
Tired and weary and fraying at the seams
So disillusioned
I'd forgotten how to dream for just a while
I knew a change would have to come.
So wrapped up in myself
That I couldn't see the truth
But the moment I looked up
I knew I'd seen the future in your eyes
And my life had just begun.
Cos they can take away the sun and rain
And everything I've ever owned
Let them have it all
Cos you give me something more
A love worth dying for.
It's been such a long time since I felt so strong inside
I know you're the reason
And the words can't quite express the way I feel
But they're all I have to use.
Cos there ain't nothing in this Universe
Can hold a candle next to you
And now my life's complete
Since you opened up the door
With a love worth dying for.
In the morning when the sunlight hits your face
It's such a beautiful collision that nothing could replace.
Cos they can take away the sun and rain
And everything I've ever owned
Let them have it all
Cos you give me something more...
Oh Baby!
Cos there ain't nothing in this Universe
Can hold a candle next to you
And now my life's complete
Since you opened up the door
You don't know what it's like
To speak from the heart, do you baby?
You don't think I can see
You're falling apart, right in front of me
'Cause I'm not that young my friend
So I've heard it all before
Does your face hurt from smiling too much?
Did someone kick your self-esteem into touch?
'Cause your booming voice is only a crutch
To hide the man inside
I've sat thru your jokes
A million times, but I'm still not laughing
Just the sound of your voice turns people to stone
I've seen it happen
When day turns to night my friend
You're still going on and on
Are you lonely in a crowded room?
Do you know what they're all saying 'bout you?
You spent your whole life running away from the truth
And if you ever left a space
I'd tell you to your face
'Cause if the Reaper comes knocking at your door tonight, tonight
When you start talking
You bet your life he'd run away in fright
Run and hide
Does your face hurt from smiling too much?
Did someone kick your self-esteem into touch?
'Cause your booming voice is only a crutch
To hide the man inside
Are you lonely in a crowded room?
Do you know what they're all saying 'bout you?
You spent your whole life running away from the truth
To hide the man inside
To hide the man inside
Just like a forbidden fruit that feeds my desire
I wanna touch, but you won't let me close
She acts so cruel, but I'm like a fire
She's trying to fool me, but I know she knows
She's like ice, can't you see
Well, she can burn, but she's freezing me
She's like ice, but she wanna make a feary treat
I'm turning up the heat
You see that beautiful place, it won't ever release me
I even see her drifting thru my dreams
I like to think that she's feeling the same thing
But right now it's just a fantasy
She's like ice, cold and clean
And I know she'll get her kicks beating me
She's like ice, causing people pleasure and pain
And to hurt's nothing but a game
She's got me jumping thru hoops and rings
I feel like a puppy, she's pulling my strings
I got no chance, I'm in her hands
She's got to set me free
She's like ice, can't you see
Well, she can burn, but she's freezing me
She's like ice, but she wanna make a feary treat
And I know she'll get her kicks beating me
She's like ice, causing people pleasure and pain
And to hurt's nothing but a game
She gives me pleasure and pain
She's got me jumping thru hoops and rings
It was just a winter's morning
Waling in the Human Race
Hurrying up going nowhere baby
And then I saw her face
In the chaos around us
I don't know how I caught her eye
But in the spae of a heartbeat
She began to smile
I could se the storm clouds gathering above me
I felt the wind as it started to howl
And it rained like the sky was crying
But all I could say was what a beautiful day
Overloading my senses
She was in heavenly light
just the kind of a moment
That lasts you a life, that's why
I could se the storm clouds gathering above me
I felt the wind as it started to howl
And it rained like the sky was crying
But all I could say was what a beautiful day
I'll remember the feeling till I die
Time was standing still
I was flying high, so high
I could se the storm clouds gathering above me
I felt the wind as it started to howl
And it rained like the sky was crying
What a beautifulday, what a beautiful day
And it riained like the sky was crying
I was a young kid of thirteen, never been kissed
A Mass of homones with legs on
I didn't know what to do, I did not have a clie
I was tissues and tension
All the girls my won age
They never really did it for me
I needed someone mor sophisticated
And I found her in a magazine
Bless me father for I have sinned and I'm a low life
Will I still be able to see?
I'd nothing to do with it
The Devil made me do it
Don't put the blame on me
It's a traversty
I met a guy who was rich and a bit f a fool
And his girlfriend was beautiful
I never worked out the reasonn I liked him so much
Till I saw her lying by his pool
When she caught me staring
She smiledin that wicked way
To my surprise there was a knock at my door
And there she was the next day
I'm riding on a Rocket, I'm powerless to stop it
I tried to push her away
But I guess she knew it
The Devil'd make me do it
Tell me what do you say?
Wnen it's gonna happen anyway
The Devil made me do it, the Devil made me do it
He really made me do it, yes the Devil made me do it
I'm riding on a Rocket, I'm powerless to stop it
I tried to push her away
But I guess she knew it
The Devil'd make me do it
Tell me what do you say?
You got it going on and you know it
The Mirror really loves you tonight
She won't stand a chance for a moment
You're working up an appetite
You think you've got the situation
Totally under control
You're bursting with anticipation
But there's one thing you gotta know
You're a slave to the gods of love
A slave to the gods of love
You think you've got it made
On'y if you've prayed enough
To the gods of love
Ever wondered where's the logic?
When you ugly thing who's really dim
Meets a beautifuk intelligent woman
Who ends up oing home with him
We're al slave to the gods of love
Slaves to the gods of love
They've got you on a string
That's why everything's so tough
Blame the gods of love
But what can you do?
It's their game played out by me and you
On a whim they contrive
To make otr break your little life
You got it going on and you know it
The Mirror really loves you tonight
She won't stand a chance for a moment
You're working up an appetite
You think you've got the situation
Totally under control
You're bursting with anticipation
But there's one thing you gotta know
You're a slave to the gods of love
Slave to the gods of love
You think you've got it made
Only if you've prayed
Slave to the gods of love
Slave to the gods of love
They've got you on a string
That's why everything is so tough
We were talking about what's been going on
I've known lately, that it's all seamed so wrong
Come between us, there's an ocean so wide
Full of deception and the tears that you
Oh baby
I desided, I thought about it so long
Eventhough I can't change the things I've done wrong
I still want you, and if it isn't too late
Give me another chance to end my mistakes
'Cause I feel like such a fool
I didn't mean to break your heart
I didn't wanna break all the rules
Now you've seen the worst I can do
I don't wanna keep hurting you
Can you find it in yourself to forgive me?
Now you know what I am
Do you think you can stand it?
'Cause I know it's true
That I've got history in the making with you
Please believe me, I don't wanna lie anymore
I've been growing up baby, I've been learning the score
'Cause if I want you, I gotta work at it too
Right now, all I want, is to work it out with you
I know the way you feel
But do you still have the strenght
For the wounds to be healed
Now you've seen the worst I can do
I don't wanna keep hurting you
Can you find it in yourself to forgive me?
Now you know what I am
Do you think you can stand it?
'Cause I know it's true
That I've got history in the making with you
oh yeah
Oh yeah
'Cause I feel like such a fool
I didn't mean to break your heart in two
But if they know the way you fell
Do you still have the strenght
For the wounds to be healed
Now you've seen the worst I can do
I don't wanna keep hurting you
Can you find it in yourself to forgive me?
Now you know what I am
Do you think you can stand it?
'Cause I know it's true
[Verse 1]
Nobody can tell me, just what I did wrong,
But I've been thinking about it,
Ever since you been gone. (ooh)
Every single reason,
I left no stone unturned.
I've been through all that I did and said,
But I've still yet to learn. (ooh)
And there's once question even you can't answer,
Unless you've ever felt this way before.
[Chorus]
What am I gonna do now that the damage is done?
How am I gonna live now that the beating has gone?
Its more than I can do to face the people I know
'Cause I'm so torn apart by you.
[Verse 2]
You know I've been trying, (ooh yeah)
With a little self restraint.
But you know I can't recommend it baby,
'Cause I still feel the pain, (Oh Yeah)
Nobody knows the cure for what I'm feeling,
There's no prescription that can heal my heart,
Tell me.
[Chorus]
What am I gonna do now that the damage is done?
How am I gonna live now that the beating is gone?
Its more than I can do to face the people I know,
'Cause I'm so torn apart by you.
[Verse 3]
Every day I cling to the past,
'Cause our love was my ship,
And I'm still tied to the mast.
Somewhere inside of me,
I can't kill off the dream that you'll return.
Tell me when I'm gonna learn.
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
What am I gonna do now that the damage is done?
How am I gonna live now that the beating is gone?
Its more than I can do to face the people I know,
'Cause I'm so torn apart by you.
(I'm so torn apart.)
What am I gonna do now that the damage is done?
How am I gonna live now that the beating is gone? (Ooh yeah it's gone)
Its more than I can do to face the people I know,
'Cause I'm so torn apart by you.
(I'm so torn apart. ooh)
What am I gonna do now that the damage is done?
How am I gonna live now that the beating is gone? (Woah the beat has gone)
Its more than I can do to face the people I know,
'Cause I'm so torn apart by you.
When you get up late for work in the morning
And somebody's broken into your car
Makes you feel like killing
Maybe you'd be willing
But you don't have to take it that far
Stand up, say who cares and stand up
Cos when things drag you down
You can't take it sitting down
Stand up
You catch you girl making love with the postman
And they're doing it in your very own bed
She says he's giving her a letter,
I think you should forget her
And go out with her sister instead
Stand up, kick the cat and stand up
Don't go crying on the floor,
Just kick them out the door
And stand up
Every now and then boy
You gotta take it on the chin
It's just another symptom ofthe world we're living in
Everydays a battle,
Sometimes you're gonna bruise
But if you let it get you down you'll lose
Stand up
Sit down
Sunday morning you relax with the papers
All week long you've been working so hard
Then you can't believe what you've seen on the page
About a road they're gonna build through you yard
Stand up, shout about it stand up
you don't have to beg them please
Don't go down on your knees
Stand up
If they're gonna tread on you
make them think before they do
Stand up
Stand up, dont take it lyaing down
I should've seen it coming now
Should've known it would happen this way
If I'd trusted my initial instincts
Then maybe you'd be here today
Cos the more that I gave
The more I could see a change
You only wanted my love
When you thought I might take it away, I'm afraid
Now I'm drowning in a river of pain
Slowly going down
All I did was love you too much
So now I'll remain
Stranded here forever
Drowning in a river of pain
I don't know when it happened now
Suddenly you'd taken control
One day I was pulling your strings girl
Then the next you had a grip on my soul
So I let myself go baby
Cos my heart wouldn't be denied
There was distance in your eyes
And your touch turned fire to ice, no surprise
That I'm drowning in a river of pain
Here with my regrets
Going round and round in my head
But still I remain
Stranded here forever
Drowning in a river of pain
(SOLO)
Somehow when you saw the other side of me
Then I lost my mystery
Now I'm drowning in a river of pain
Slowly going down
All I did was love you too much
So now I'll remain
Drowning in a river
Goodbye Johnny, sad to see you go away
Goodbye Johnny, is there nothing I can say?
To make you think it over, maybe change your mind and stay
Goodbye Johnny, sad to see you go away
And it's so unfair, you had something there
And it's so unfair, 'cause there's something about you
Goodbye Johnny, it was different at the start
But she called you bluff and tore your life apart
And as I watched you crumble, I could hear your breaking heart
Goodbye Johnny, now it's different from the start
And it's so unfair, you had something there
And it's so unfair, 'cause there's something about you
You're making a sacrifice, well that's alright
But sooner or later there may come a time
when you see your life and it don't belong to you
'cause you caved in under presure, now what you gonna do?
Don't throw your life away!
Goodbye Johnny, sad to see you go away (Goodbye Johnny, sad to see you go away)
Goodbye Johnny, is there nothing I can say? (Goodbye Johnny, is there nothing I can say?)
to make you think it over, maybe change your mind and stay
Goodbye Johnny, sad to see you go away
(Goodbye Johnny, sad to see you go)
And it's so unfair, you had something there
And it's so unfair, don't throw your lifaway
And it's so unfair, you had something there
And it's so unfair, 'cause there's something about you
There's something about you
Something about you
There's something about you now
Something
'Cause there's something about you
In my darkest hour I've never been
To places that today I know I've seen
And although it doesn't mean much to you
I wish you could go there too
So you could know the emptiness I feel
You're the reason why my world caved in
Just when I was breathing once again
When you feel you've found the real thing
To invest emotions in
It's hard as hell to find out you were wrong
How long will this misery carry on?
My broken heart lies shattered on the floor
Can't you see you'd have been so right for me?
If I hadn't been so quick to let it show
I guess I'll never know
It's funny just how vulnerable you get
I should've seen it coming I admit
So I'll be a slave to my regret
And if I ever get over it
I won't let myself be taken in again
So sad, I've given it all I have
But I can't make you love me, that's a fact
I understand, I wish I'd never shown my hand
But the past is done and I can't change it so
What Might have been, I guess I'll never know
Once in a while, I drift in time
To a place in my memory, that it still hurts to find
I was taking on the world with a see-through smile
But dying on the inside all the while
I was, dying on the inside all the while
Like a martyr that don't want sympathy
I locked away my feelings, and threw away the key
It was gonna take a miracle to pierce my pride
And you were the tower of strength to try
When your loving washed right over me like the tide
And now I believe in love (I believe in love)
I believe in love (I believe in love)
You're the reason why I can
Cos when I look, at myself, in the mirror
I see a better man
A better man
Yes its hard finding words that can say how I feel about you
I don't care if it sounds like another old cliche
But I can't stand the thought of living my life without you
For even a day
Oh baby
And now I believe in love (I believe in love)
Yes I believe in love (I believe in love)
You're the reason why I can
Cos when I look, at myself, in the mirror
Oh baby
When I look at myself in the mirror
When I'm looking at myself in the mirror
I look in the mirror, I stand one eighty five
I'm glad I'm not too short, I'm glad that I'm alive
There's sometimes on a bad day, I got no self esteem
Especially when I see those shiny color magazines
Lord, you know I can see the picture now
Of the transformation they could do for me
If I was dumb enough I'd pick up that phone
And get in line, and they could stretch my sallow skin until it shines
Desire and envy, welling up in your heart
You wanna take a hammer to your next door neighbours car
So you dream of the good life, and how the fantasy burns
Makes you gamble on the tv, but you'll never ever learn
One in a million is better odds than you've got
But you still believe that this could be the one
Why don't you just relax and try to concieve the perfect plan
Or you can rub your lucky charm until it shines
Until it shines
You spent your heart and money on a house of cards
Not knowing which way the wind will blow
Invested all your loveing on a crazy whim
And there's no telling where she'll go
So you spend your time dreaming, thinking how it used to be
'Til you come to know the meaning of regreat
You've convinced yourself that everything's going how it ought to be, in your head
You're polishing the dirt until it shines
Lord until it shines, oh
Until it shines
Lord until it shines, oh
All that we're praying for, it ain't always what we find
If I could travel back to yesterday, there are some things I'd like to change
I might've hurt some people along the way
But I've been hurt myself just the same
But now if I hear talk behind my back
It's fuel to the fire, keeps me on the track I know
They won't cause me no pain, they're just feeding the flame, oh baby
I hear people cry and people moan, about the hand that they've been dealt
And I know luck can be so hard sometimes
But you got to make it happen for yourself
Some are bitter, some will criticise
And when they're right in your face, they can be so nice, oh no
Don't let them drive you insane, they're just feeding the flame
They're just feeding the flame, gimme fuel to burn, oh baby
They're only feeding the flame, they ain't never gonna learn
'Till their bridges start to burn
(Solo)
Watch 'em burn
But now if I hear talk behind my back
It's fuel to the fire, keeps me on the track
They won't cause me no pain, they're just feeding the flame
They're just feeding the flame, gimme fuel to burn, oh baby
They're only feeding the flame, they ain't never gonna learn
'Till their bridges start to burn
I'm sorry I don't hate the world
I'm afraid that I'm not disturbed
I'm sorry that I don't do drugs, I hope you understand
I can't talk about my life in hell
Or a suicide attempt that didn't go well
No life of crime, no misery, what you see is what you get
And I don't believe in dwelling on the darker side
There's enough bad news on the television every night
So I don't need some little punk who's the latest star
Telling me over and over again
Life's such a drag when you're in a band
What is it coming to when everyone's talking through their hat
And we've heard it all before
What happened to honesty? The way that it looks at me
Is everybody's in it trying to get somewhere
And trying to justify it, preaching from a chair
Please forgive me if the clothes ain't right
I wouldn't want you hanging with an uncool guy
No flannel shirt and no tattoos, maybe I should grow a beard?
Don't you tell me what I oughta think
Which cigarettes to smoke, and what I oughta drink
Don't judge me by the way I look cos the clothes don't make the man
I'm not about to be a slave to a book of rules
Don't wanna spend my life trying to be somebody else
I'd be wrong to believe in every word that I ever read
You can't fool all the people all of the time
And one man's opinion's another man's lie
The makers of taste will be patronising you and me forever
And it's always been the same
You'll enter the twilight zone if you don't keep your mind your own
I shouldn't let it get to me but I don't care
I can't stomach bullshit, when it's preaching from a chair
(SOLO)
I'm sorry that I like the sun
I'm sorry to say I don't wanna own a gun
Cos if my number's up that's alright, sometime we all got to go
So many versions of the world outside
Reality is getting hard to find
So many people with an axe to grind
It's hard to know who to believe
Don't lecture me, until you know what the truth is
Take a good look inside you criticise everyone else
Your jealousy ain't enough of a reason
To justify telling me where I went wrong
So don't try to do it
Cos all you ever do is sing the same old song
And no one wants to hear
Back when I can barley remember
I was tuning in every night
Your mother wouldn't like it was happening
Mixing up a soup so right, it was alright
Next day there was I believing
That I could ride the airwaves too
Heaven knows what I was thinking
Didn't matter what I tried to do
So tell me what i wanna know
What did I do to make it so?
'Cause I know you never gonna
play this on the radio
Record company got me a plugger
A charming man in every way
So I paid him lots of money to tell me
It's been a tough week, what can I say
Were you killed by video?
'Cause I can't get you on the phone
So I know you're never gonna get this on the radio
People come to watch the show
'Cause my aim is straight and true
Twenty years I've made a living at this
No thanks to you and the TV too! Fuck You...
I know I never went to art school
I was never in the NME
I got no chance of sleeping with Kate Moss
What the hell is wrong with me?
Who did I forget to blow?
Should I go on a reality show?
Maybe then you'd vote for me
'Cause I can't get on the BBC
The playlist was my Grail of gold
I tried and failed to sell my soul
So I know you're never gonna hear this
playing on the radio
Ain't gonna hear it
playing on the radio
Wake up on the floor like you did before
And you don't know what today is
So you shut out the sun until the day is done
But you can't run away from it
You must've done it all this time
And nothing's really changed
You pushed reality away
And still wake up to find
It wasn't all in your mind
And it's always the same
Another bad movie now
You'll go crawling back again, oh
Like a moth to the flame
Take it to the edge, stumble on the ledge
You're a candle that has to burn
Cos you bought the dream
And from the way that it seems
You're living in that other world
Where everything is beautiful
And someone else will pay
But you won't find an answer there
Cos the question still remains
You better hear what I say
Do you feel like the rain?
Always coming down now
Don't you tell me it's a game
Cos I don't believe it
You're a moth to the flame
(SOLO)
Where everything is beutiful
And someone else will pay
But you won't find an answer there
Cos the question still remains
You better hear what I say
And it's always the same
Another bad movie now
You'll go crawling back again, oh
Like a moth to the flame
Don't you tell me it's a game
Cos I don't believe it
She took me by the hand
She said she'd missed
And it wasn't enough talking on the telephone
She told "quit the band and be a married man"
I said baby, hold on just a minute
I don't think you understand
Look at the place we live in and the bills that I have to pay
Do I have to come home to this every time I go away
'Cause you can't get by on love
Love just isn't enough
This world can be so cruel and tough
No you can't get by
No matter how you try
You can't get by on love
No no no no no no no
I need a couple of years
Then i might have enough
To stop your moaning
I'll give you everything that you've been dreaming of
But don't you push too hard
Girl, don't you close me in
Can't you use your time to do something you believe in
It ain't a party all the time
'Cause I get lonely too
While you keep going on and on
'Bout the things you think I do
'Cause you can't get by on love
Love just isn't enough
This world can be so cruel and tough
No you can't get by
No matter how you try
You can't get by on love
Can't get by on love, no no
HAHA
Tell me baby did you forget what I told you at the start?
So why d'you wanna keep tearing us apart?
'Cause you can't get by on love
Love just isn't enough
This world can be so cruel and tough
No you can't get by
No matter how you try
Papa says; it's a bitch to reconize it
Like catching rhythm from the pouring rain.
Mama says; it's a flicker in the eye of a lover.
Why would Mama lie?
It's so hard to explain
It's the light that keeps shinning
It's love!
Let me show you love, girl
It could be so long
And I know that it could last forever! Haah!
I feel the passion in you growing stronger
And girl, you should know by now
Here I am calling you from the still of the moment
To the heat of the night
It's a joy to explain
It's a light that keep shinning in me for you
It's love!
Let me show you my love, girl
(Oh, don't you know what love is)
Guitar solo
Keyboard solo
I could be the one
(Papa says; it's bitch to reconize it) Don't you know
(Mama says; it's a flicker in the eye of a lover) Oh!
This could be the one
Yes, it's got to be the one
(Why would Mama lie?)
Love... (Don't you know what love is) girl
Let me show you my love, girl
(Don't you know what love is)
Oh, it can be so strong
(Don't you know what love is)
It's got to be the one
(Don't you know what love is)
I could be the one
Looking around your home town
trying to find a reason not to leave
All of your friends don't understand,
you find that small town air so hard to breathe
Clock keeps ticking, don't need the life your living
Deep in your heart don't you feel like running
Over the hills where the real worlds going on?
There's nothing to keep you here
So what have you got to fear?
So don't you hesitate
Kick off the ball and chain (Get running)
Kick off the ball and chain (get running)
You work in a job you really hate
For a guy who thinks you're just a waste of space
You've been telling yourself so long now
One day you're gonna put him in his place
Wouldn't you love it, telling the boss to shove it?
Stay Where you are, you'll amount to nothing
It's only a step in your mind and you'll be gone
You know that you wanna go, like the wind you've got to blow
So don't you hesitate
Kick off the ball and chain (Get running)
Kick off the ball and chain (get running)
Get your ticket and board that train (get running)
Kick off the ball and chain (get running)
You know you haven't got a thing to lose
You don't wanna spend your life in a dead mans shoes
There's nothing to keep you here so what have you go to fear?
You'll never be young again
So kick off the ball and chain
You know that you wanna go, like the wind you've got to blow
So kick off the ball and chain
Kick off the ball and chain (get running)
Kick off the ball and chain (get running)
Get your ticket and board that train (get running)
BEtter listen to me, baby
It's time to speak the truth
You'd better believe it baby
I know I've got the proof
Cos I didn't catch your name
And I know it sounds insane
But I've got reason to believe
I was meant for you
Cos I love you more than rock 'n' roll
Trust me baby
I think I love you more than rock 'n' rol
It's the way that you move, baby
Such a dirty grind
Got a glimpse of tattoo, baby
But I knew you wouldn't mind
Cos I know it's got to be
And I, I got to make you see
That I love you more than rock 'n' roll
On my life
I think I love you more than rock 'n' roll
Say it one more time
I love you more than rock 'n' roll
Kinda gets in my soul, baby
So there you go, baby is my intention clear?
And now that you know, baby, there ain't nothing to fear
Cos I never thought I'd say, what I've said today
I guess it goes to show you that I'm sincere
Cos I love you more than rock 'n' roll
Can you feel it?
I think I love you more than rock 'n' roll
I love you more than rock 'n' roll
Yeah yeah, yeah
You talk, I don't believe it
What you're saying, it's only words
You know action's what I need, so listen, don't you speak
This looks like my last chance to be heard
'Cause I know, yes I know
Every reason why he'll never let you go
But I don't care, it's so unfair
I can't stand waiting when it ain't right
Just hanging on for another night
Gonna take my dreams and my shattered pride and run
I'm a sad, lost loser in a two-horse race
I crossed the line in second place
I'd rather waste my time shooting at the sun
Time has made me weary
Once it was fun but now it's just a game
But you, you don't have to worry
You've got someone else so you won't feel the pain
'Cause I swear, yes I swear
That I'm never going down this road again
What's left for me but misery
'Cause I can't stand sitting here and cracking up
Waiting for you to call me up
I had a life worth living but now it's come undone
And I hate myself for all those lies
I took so long to realise
I'd rather waste my time shooting at the sun
'Cause I know, yes I know
Every reason why he'll never let you go
But I don't care, it's so unfair
I can't stand waiting when it ain't right
Just hanging on for another night
Gonna take my dreams and my shattered pride and run
I'm a sad, lost loser in a two-horse race
I crossed the line in second place
I'd rather waste my time shooting at the sun
'Cause I can't stand sitting here and cracking up
Waiting for you to call me up
I had a life worth living but now it's come undone
And I hate myself for all those lies
I took so long to realise
Do what you want when the world is telling you to stop
Shout out the rules then break them whenever you choose
Is forty years a long time? Ho did you forget?
You javen't learned a damn thing, like knowing when to quit
Wherever you go, whatever you do
They always seem to be ahead of you
can ou tel me how long it'll be 'til you're done?
'Til you shoot our own gun at the last man standing in the sun
You can't justify your flawed agenda with a lie
Peace is no excuse if war's the only weapon that you choose
Everybody sees it plainly through your veil
No-one understands it, a mission bound to fail
Whatever you say, whoever you fool
There'll be twice as many won't believe in you
It's the same worn out song, and it'll go on and on
'Till you drop your bombs on the last man standing in the sun
How could you say shock and awe wiould win the day?
When dust and broken bone only builds a will of stone
Out of sight is one thing but it won't be out of mind
Until you're seeing reason for leaving it behind
Wherever you go, whatever you do
They always seem to be ahead of you
can ou tel me how long it'll be 'til you're done?
'Til you shoot our own gun at the last man standing in the sun
It's the same worn out song, and it'll go on and on
I put my wrong foot forward, you don't cut me no slack
Only when I feel pain can you stand to laugh
Cos if I say the wrong thing you won't let it lie
You're a spoiled child and you're never satisfied
Everytime when we get straight, when it all goes right
I know you'll bow a new fuse, it's a matter of time
So I sit here waiting, but I never can rest
I know it's a blow, but you just can't second guess
A stubborn kind of love that still gets me high
God knows why
It's a stubborn kind of love refusing to die
No matter how we try
You didn't come with instructions or any health warning
And when I'm around you you're a coiled spring
It's a war of attrition, a battle of wills
It's hard to believe we both still get a thrill
From a stubborn kind of love that still gets me high, oh no
It's a stubborn kind of love connecting our souls
And we got no control
A stubborn kind of love that still gets me high
God knows why
It's a stubborn kind of love refusing to die
it's a stubborn kind of love that still gets me high, oh no
It's a stubborn kind of love connecting our souls
You went away and left long time ago
Now your knocking on my door
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you been
I begged you not to go but you said goodbye
Now your telling me all your lies
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you been
You better get back to your used to be
'Cause your kind of love ain't good for me
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you been
I told you way back in '52
That I would never go with you
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Feel the paranoia all around you
The Emporor's new clothes
Well no-one realy knows
On the fence there's no where left to sit
Through Never-Never Land
The balnd all lead the bland
And it makes me wanna cry
When we let the music die
But it's all about control
And I know
If it don't fit the picture
It don't make the show
God bless the corporation
But there's a line you gotta toe
And a risk ain't an option
For someone like you
Monkey see, monkey do
At your time of life you should be leading
Not cowering in the dark
Jump when you think you see a spark
Bit it's easier having no opinion
When all you do is wait
For somebody else to make mistakes
So you watch it from the wings
And just before the fat lady sings
That's when you're in there like a shot
Strike like it's hot
And it's a self fulfilling prophesy
You sat and you waited
Then you grabbed the glory
And everyone below you
Will grab the glory too
Monkey see, monkey do
When the sun goes down on you big-hitters
Cos the balance sheet's a slap, when kids won't pay for crap
And you centemplate it for a moment
Diminishing returns were al that you deserved
You might have got some off the ground
But nothing you did ever stuck around
And I wonder where you'll go, I don't know
I don't know
But if it don't fit the picture
It don't make the show
God bless the corporation
But there's a line you gotta toe
And a risk ain't an option
For someone like you
Monkey see, monkey do
And everyone below you
Will claim the glory too

Look In My Eyes, Pretty Woman
LOOK IN MY EYES, PRETTY WOMAN
Tony Orlando & Dawn
Time is on my side tho' the world keeps gettin' colder
'Cause I've got you, girl to ease my troubled mind
I'm a diff'rent man when your head is on my shoulder
I can find the answers in me that I never tho't I'd find
'Cause you look in my eyes pretty woman
The world is a peaceful place
All I can see when there's you
And there's me is love upon your face
Stand by me, baby and we'll find the way
Before our day is done
Look in my eyes pretty woman and we'll overcome
You're my guiding star, you're my faith
My hope, my power when I just can't
Find a reason to believe
Touch my hand with love
And you light my darkest hour
I can feel the warm returning
And my pain about to leave
Thunder - Between The Covers Lyrics
I melted standing by the water
Summer in the city, it was hot
She said "which one d'you think is the daughter?"
She knew i knew the answer, but she fooled me on the spot
They both look good to me and I knew from the start
That there was more to this than meets the eye
But whatever I was thinking, I found that I was wrong
She said, baby, don't think it over
'cause we don't play this game like all the other
Don't be surprised, the moment you discover
You're free to light my fire between the covers
And i said, Well, well, well
I said, Well, well, well
They drove me to a shop front window
And i thought that i'd been waken up in hell
They said, we don't do this for any guy we meet
And I said, that's probably just as well
And we ended up back at some Switch hotel
The cold champagne was going to my head
I was thinking hard 'bout leaving
But I hvae to stay instead
And she said, baby, don't think it over
'cause we don't play this game like all the other
Don't be surprised, the moment you discover
You're free to light my fire between the covers
Alright!
They both look good to me and I knew from the start
That there was more to this than meets the eye
But whatever I was thinking, I found that I was wrong
And she said, baby, don't think it over
'cause we don't play this game like all the other
Don't be surprised, the moment you discover
You're free to light my fire between the covers
And i said, Well, well, well
Well, well, well
Well, well, well
Well well
Well, well, well
If there's a reason for everything I'm feeling
It's a lesson I should've learned before
It takes such a long time striving and achieving
But it don't take long to hit the floor
'Cause all I'm seeing I can see straight thru
And all I'm hearing sounds the same
And all I'm feeling is lost inside
And blown away
My motivation was never any problem
In my heart I knew the way to go
But for the first time I can't see my direction
It's the one thing I thought I'd always know
'Cause everybody seems to move along
While I live thru the same old day
In the fading tail lights of another lie
I'm blown away
When do I get to touch what I'm reaching out for?
What am I reaching out for anyway?
When I was young I never saw a complication
Only black and white but now it's shades og grey
When the clock ain't moving, what's another day?
Self-esteem is crumbling and there's no-one else to blame
When you're blown away, when you're blown away
I know the reason for everything I'm feeling
It's a lesson that I should've learned before
It takes such a long time striving and achieving
But it don't take long to hit the floor
'Cause all I'm seeing I can see straight thru
And all I'm hearing sounds the same
And all I'm feeling is lost inside
Horizon seems so far away
'Cause everybody seems to move along
And I can't keep living thru today
In the fading tail lights of another lie
In the quiet of evening I start to drift away,
Imagining a place where you'll be starting off your day,
I fight the distance with a picture in my head,
But I don't know when I'll see you,
I guess I'll have to dream instead,
You're so far away,
If I could I'd be with you,
Even if for just one day.
Cos if I close my eyes and dream on,
I can fool myself with sound and vision,
Like a satellite reaching out through the night,
I could almost be touching you.
And when we're talking long distance on the phone,
You know it makes me feel like I'm not so alone,
The situation never causes me pain,
The comminucation that we have is on another plane,
All the waiting makes me stronger,
And the time between us flies
Whenever I close my eyes and dream on,
I can fool myself with sound and vision,
Like a satellite reaching out through the night,
I could almost be touching you.
If I could I'd be with you,
Even if for just one day,
Those miles between us, they just start fading away.
Whenever I close my eyes and dream on,
I can fool myself with sound and vision,
Like a satellite reaching out through the night,
Showbiz kids and all their schemes
Big plans asempty as their dreams
They all got confidence to spare
Feel the ambition if you dare, yeah
you want it al now, and it doesn't matter how
You can't dance or sing, but that don't mean a thing
Cos it's not what you do, it's who you are
And you'd sell your mum and dad to be where you are
And what Andy Warhol said was right, maybe
Everyone gets a shot if they're good enough or not
We'll al be celebreties in time in pantomime
Skin deep, should I jump onto the heap
Cos I'm stil here, is it time I dissappeared?
Music should always move along
But this many people can't be wrong
If what Andy Warhol said was right, baby
I guess I must be wrong, my fifteen minutes gone
Do you mind if I get in the queue in fromt of you?
You're all just off your time, I guess I can't put the blame on you
Showbiz kids and all their schemes
Big plans asempty as their dreams
They all got confidence to spare
Feel the ambition if you dare
And what Andy Warhol said was right, maybe
Everyone gets a shot if they're good enough or not
We'll al be celebreties in time in our time
I'm gonna have to get back in the queue
In fromt of you, in front of you
So what you gonna do?
Sitting on the tarmac getting ready to roll
Didn't sleep a wink the whole night before
Wondering how they get this chunck of metal in the sky
And all I wanna do is pull my shade down and die
I get tired sometimes when it's that kind of game
I've made my bed and I'm lying in it every day
It could be worse, I know it could
But I can't tell you it's bad when it's good
So I say
Rolling the dice, it's the price I pay
Sometimes wish I'd never learned to play that guitar
'Til I turn around and see the size of my car
'Cos if the truth be known I'm not a hit with the girls
And it's murder living up to all the stories they've heard
Just an ordinary guy, with a strange old job
Getting paid to behave, like a juvenille slob, yes I am
No body takes me seriously
Guess that's the way it was meant to be
Like I said
For rolling the dice, it's the price I pay
It's the prize I pay, uh yeah
Never used to worry what the future would bring
But how long can I really keep on doing my thing?
I'll be like an addict trying to quit his stuff, yes I will
But it's sad but it's true, it's a labour of love
Guess I'll have to retire to the south of Spain
Teeing off with the wife I forget about the rain
So when it's slipping away from me
I'll rather be a slave to eternity
Like I said
For rolling the dice, it's the price I pay, yes it is
For rolling the dice, that's the price I pay
Don't wanna go out don't know who I'll meet
Don't wanna breathe that filthy air on the street
Don't make me burn 'neath that hole in the sky
I'm too scared to live and I'm too young to die
Don't get the door it's the man from the bank
He wants my house but I won't give it back
Here comes the vultures as I'm starting to try
I'm too scared to live but I'm too broke to die
Stop smoking, stop drinking
It's not even safe no more ... sleeping with women
I gave up driving I thought I might crash
And I can't go private cos I ain't got the cash
Expensive business this keeping your health
That's why I'm too scared to live cos I ain't got the wealth
Stop whinging, stop moaning
But it's hard enjoying life, when I can't do nothing
(SOLO)
Can't drink the water can't swim in the sea
And my television's too corrupting for me
Then someone told me it's wrong eating meat
I'm too scared to live and now I'm too scared to eat
I'm so depressed just can't take it no more
I don't know what I'm even living for
One thing that keeps me from a suicide
I'm too scared to live but I'm too scared to die
Keep trying, keep fighting
Welcome to the party, there's a new kid in town
Looking like a million, gonna bring your burden down
And he's talking about love, stamping out hate
He's gonna fight for the welfare state
He's got a vision of a better day
Rip up the past and throw it all away
Welcome to the party, there's a feeling in the air
Can't you feel the vibrations, bringing everybody here
We got the right face at the right time
Leading from the front, racing for the line
This train's a rolling so get on board
C'mon everybody, you know that you'll be heard
Oh oh, there ain't no better place to go
And all the doors are open wide
So come on in, don't you worry about a thing
You can't fight against this tide
Say welcome to the party tonight
Welcome to the party, where the future's looking bright
See the people comming from the left and from the right
'Cause everybody knows there's got to be a change
So many things we've got to re-arrange
We've got to bring a sense of freedom back
for everybody, yellow white or black
Oh oh, we'll be watching the fat cats roll
when all of the dogs have had their day
Can't you see, tomorrow's down to you and me
So don't you hang around outside
Say welcome to the party tonight
You're gonna love the show, I know
So won't you step right up today, yeah yeah
Welcome to the party, there's a new kid in town
Looking like a million, gonna bring your burden down
And he's talking about love, stamping out hate
He's gonna fight for the welfare state
He's got a vision of a better day
Rip up the past and throw it all away
Oh oh, there ain't no better place to go
And all the doors are open wide
So come on in, don't you worry about a thing
You can't fight against this tide
Say welcome to the party tonight
So don't you hang around outside
Say welcome to the party tonight
Goodbye little angel, so young and so sweet
So long little angel, taken so young from the street
Now you're gone, all the world can feel the pain
Like a light went out somewhere
Goodbye little angel, it's so hard to understand
What makes somebody do that? What makes that kind of man?
But you're gone and things will never be the same
I feel your tears when it rains
And though I try I can't explain
Where's the sense in it all?
We cover our eyes cover our eyes cover our eyes
Cos we don't wanna see this
We hope it's a lie hope it's a lie hope it's a lie Cos our world isn't like this
It's too random to believe in, how could anyone concieve it?
It's so sad, but it happened in this town
There's no words of consolation, there's no reasoned explanation
Just the fact that it happened in this town
(SOLO)
Goodbye little angel, so young and so sweet
So long little angel, taken so young from the street
But now you're gone, and things will never be the same
I feel your tears when it rains
And though I try I can't explain
Where's the sense in it all?
We cover our eyes cover our eyes cover our eyes
Cos we don't wanna see this
We hope it's a lie hope it's a lie hope it's a lie Cos our world isn't like this
How could anybody do it? There's no rhyme or reason to it
It's so sad, but it happened in this town
There's no words of consolation, there's no reasoned explanation
Just the fact that it happened in this town
It really happened in this town
It's so sad, but it happened in this town
Goodbye little angel, so young and so sweet
When it all comes down
It's just another day
You know when you got the feeling, like you're running and standing still
Everybody's overtaking, and you can't get up that hill
Sun comes 'round too early, and the moon goes down too fast
While you're trying to make ends meet, The time is slipping past
I know you can't control the things that get you down
But it ain't all bad news, take a look around
Another day of freedom, another of life
Another little battle you'll survive
'Cause any way you cut it
there's still a lot to love in this world
('Cause we all go thru it)and when it all comes down it's another day
(There ain't nothing to it)we're gonna find you a way
Breaking down in the sunshine, and running home thru the rain
Failing in love the first time, feeling passion, feeling pain
Winning against a tall one, losing it on the cert
Drinking yourself to oblivion, and you know it's gonna hurt
The things you feel, they let you know that you're alive
So don't lock yourself away, celebrate your life
Another revolution, another point of view
You're doing things you thought you'd never do
What ever way you slice it, there's still a lot to love in this world
('Cause we all go thru it)and when it all comes down there's another day
(There ain't nothing to it)we're gonna find you a way
Another day of freedom, another you lie
Another little battle you survive
'Cause any way you cut it
there's still a lot to love in this world
('Cause we all go thru it)and when it all comes down there's another day
(There ain't nothing to it)you're gonna find your way
('Cause we all go thru it)and when it all comes down there's another day
Better lock the window
Better bolt the door
Change your number
And dont take that call
In conversation
Better watch your words
One wrong move now
I'm gonna dig that dirt
Nobody's ever
Too big to burn
I leave no stone unturned
In the quietest moment
When the lights go down
When you dont expect it
I will be around
Only one intention
Wanna see you fall
Cos im that fly on the wall
Well i give no quarter
And i cant be bought
No need to justify it
If im within the law
Its only the information
From behind closed doors
And if the public want it
I'm the cheapest whore
No need to worry
I can supply
Cos everybody's got something to hide
When you see that shadow
Or you hear that sound
When your guard is dropping
I'll be back in town
Only one intention
Wanna see you fall
Cos im that fly on the wall
You cant sleep when I'm lurking
Even though you wont hear any sound
I'll be digging your dustbin
If it's there, it will be found
(solo)
In the quietest moment
When the lights go down
When you dont expect it
I will be around
Only one intention
Wanna see you fall
There must have been a moment
A second or a time
When I didn't look up
Or I missed some kind of sign
Turned the wrong direction
When she was just an inch away
Like a missed connection
And my future slipped away
There's been times when I feel like I'm conspired against by fate
It's almost bad enough to make me hate
I'm sick of building castles in the sand
Waiting for another fake to break my promised land
I've been looking for the real thing in a lonely one night stand
Just building castles in the sand
Cos it terrifies me, ending up alone
And it walks beside me, the ghost of chances gone
Did I have it, did I let it go,
Or close the door to fast?
Is there an answere locked up in my past
In my past...
I'm sick of building castles in the sand
Waiting for another fake to break my promised land
I've been looking for the real thing in a lonely one night stand
Just building castles in the sand
I've been dying, I've been living alone so long
Going over and over the reasons, but I can't find a thing that's wrong
In my mind all the evidence seems to say
I wouldn't even know it if she walked right in today
I'm sick of building castles in the sand
Waiting for another fake to break my promised land
I've been looking for the real thing in a lonely one night stand
You know I'm not the kind to ever make a fuss
And you know that it's unfair, calling me jealous
But when I called you up and then I heard his voice
I guess you could say you left me no choice
So baby this time your race is run, next time you need me, I will be gone
The song is over, that day is done, 'cos baby I'll be gone
You say you don't remember all the times before
When my friends were just opportunities knocking at your door
So I took it all, believing it would end
Now you've taken all the time I can lend
So baby this time I'm not the one, 'cos when you come back, I will be gone
The game is up now, you've had your fun, 'cos baby I'll be gone
Baby I'll be gone, I'll be gone now baby
(Solo)
So baby this time your race is run, next time you need me, I will be gone
The song is over, that day is done, so I'll be gone, baby I'll be gone
The song is over, that day is done, so I'll be gone, baby I'll be gone
She was burning up with that white line fever
She said "tie me up", but I couldn't get near her
She was walking that fine line, stumbling all over the edge
Shaking like a leaf as high as a kite
I tried to leave but she didn't want to say goodnight
Chorus:
The girl's going out of her head, she's going crazy
Girl's going out of her head, she don't want to stop
She said "life's a bitch living in the fast lane
But my Daddy's rich so I shouldn't complain
I've got money if you want it, so much I can throw it away"
Then she held a gun right up to my head
I could have run but I didn't want to taste the lead
chorus
She's going crazy
(Solo)
She was walking that fine line, stumbling all over the edge
Shaking like a leaf as high as a kite
I tried to leave but she, but she, she didn't want to say goodnight
chorus repeats 2x
I said the girl's going out of her head, the girl's going out of her head
The girl's going out of her head, the girl's going out of her head
She's going crazy
I can see the fading sun, sinking at the edge of town
And it's one more day that's gone
I'm thinking 'bout the past, and the time that slipped away
But I can't change what I've done
Chasing after foolish dreams, I should've let go but I just can't seem to stop
I don't deserve your loving baby, I don't know why you stay
There's a child within the man, and it's keeping me keeping on
Yet you always understand
The future can't be planned, but I'm gonna keep fighting on
While I've still got two strong hands
Maybe I'll change someday, maybe I'll chase those dreams away
I need you by my side now baby, 'cos you're the price that I won't pay
Girl you're the only one to light a fire inside me
You're the only woman that can make me feel this way
I want to stay with you forever, I'll never let you go until my dying day
(Solo)
Chasing after foolish dreams, I should've let go but I just can't seem to stop
I don't deserve your loving baby, and I don't know why you stay
Hey baby you're the only one to light a fire inside me
You're the only woman that can make me feel this way
I want to stay with you forever, I'll never let you go until my dying day
Until my dying day
I don't deserve your loving baby, I don't know why you stay
I need you by my side now baby, 'cos you're the price that I won't pay
I don't deserve your loving baby, I don't know why you stay
I need you by my side now baby, I don't know, I don't know
It was early in the evening, I was waiting for a train
I was thinking to myself as I watched the pouring rain
I need love, but I don't know where to get it
Then underneath this big umbrella she walked in the waiting room
I just had to tell her though it might have been too soon
I need love and I think I might have found it
She was some kind of priestess with a black dress on
With her film star kind of features, she really turned me on
And if it takes until forever and a day, I've gotta make that woman mine
If I don't tell her then I'll wish my life away, she's so fine, she's so fine
I said don't misunderstand me, I didn't mean to make you blush
But when I got this feeling, I knew I had to rush
I need love, and you know I want to give it
I've been waiting for a lifetime for a woman like you
I know I'm walking on a fine line, but I've got to see it through
If I should pass away tonight while I'm asleep
At least I'll know I spoke my mind
I'm being driven by some other force that won't be denied, she's so fine
(Solo)
She's so fine
I've been waiting for a lifetime for a woman like you
I know I'm walking on a fine line, but I've got to see it through, through
She's so fine, she's so fine, she's so fine
Ooh, I took one look at you baby, babe it feels so good inside
She's so fine, makes me feel good...
I'm sitting in this bar room
As they're cleaning round my chair
Empty whiskey bottle
Tells me I'm the last one here
Through my haze I thought I saw you
Passing on the street outside
My heart leapt for a moment, and then I realised
I still need your love (one more night)
If we could be together (just one night)
That night could last forever(one last time)
That's all I'm asking baby
Coz once in a lifetime you find your kinda love
Your kind of love
It was earlier this evening
When along came an angel of the night
She asked if I want a good time
But all that I could do, was sit and cry
She said don't worry baby
Coz it's never as bad as it seems
I said you don't understand
She was everything, everything to me
And if I had (one more night)
If we could be together (just one night)
That night could last forever (one last time)
That's all I'm asking baby
Coz once in a lifetime you find your kinda love
Yeah
Won't you tell me what do did I do wrong
To make you stay away so long, from my love
Tell me babe
Was is it something that I might have said
I've been running through it my head
For so long, so long now
Won't you tell me baby
(one more night)
If we could be together (just one night)
That night could last forever(one last time)
That's all I'm asking baby
Coz once in a lifetime you find your kinda love
(one more night)
(just one night)
We could be together(one last time)
(one more night)
That night would last forever(just one night)
You and me(one last time)
Mmmm
(one more night) it's all I'm asking for
(just one night) yeah
(one last time)
Mmmm
(one more night) gotta know now
(just one night) want her back
So tired of waiting, I walked an empty land
I was looking for something to help me understand
But bad luck kept turning my dreams into sand
I didn't want pity, I had my share of friends
I wanted somebody more special than the rest
I was aching inside like I was approaching the end
Just about that moment the timing was so right
You appeared like a vision sent down to my life
I thought, I was dreaming when I saw you that night
That's when love walked in through my door
That familiar feeling I had once before
Love walked in through my door and it felt so strange, ooh
It's hard to remember being on my own
Ooh, that kind of loving makes a hard man lose control
But I sleep so much better, now I'm not alone
So promise me, baby, you're always gonna stay
I don't think I could take it, seeing you walk away
You don't need to doubt it, I remember that day
That's when love walked in through my door
I found just what I wanted but I got so much more
Love walked in through my door and it felt so strange
Like a long lost friend that hadn't changed
Giving me hope again
Love walked in, love walked in, love
Ooh, just about that moment the timing was so right
You appeared like a vision sent down to my life
I thought, I was dreaming when I saw you that night
That's when love walked in through my door
That familiar feeling I had once before
Love walked in through my door
Oh, love walked in through my door and it felt so strange
That familiar feeling I had once before
Love walked in through my door and it felt so strange
Like a long lost friend that hadn't changed
Giving me hope again, ooh
Love walked in, ooh, love walked in, love
I feel the wind blow on the corner
And I'm looking down along this dead end street
All the people are getting older
But they don't give a damn their lives are incomplete
It don't look no better than it did before
And I know what's happening behind each door
If I don't get out today, I'm gonna waste my life away
And that's a part that I can't play
Chorus:
I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town, I can feel it driving me away
Baby you and me were meant for higher ground, we've got to steal away
As a young boy I didn't fit in, and I knew it then I wouldn't be the same
But that was only in the beginning
And as the time rolled on deeper grew the pain
So give me one good reason why I should stay
I think I've got enough money for the late night train
There's a world you've never seen, but I've been there in my dreams
It's calling out to me
chorus
(Solo)
If I don't get out today, I'm gonna waste my life away
I'm gonna waste my life away, and that's a part that I can't play
chorus repeats 2x
You and me baby, we've got to steal away, turn it on, turn it on
Well my temperature's rising and my feet are on the floor
Twenty people knocking 'cos they're wanting some more
Let me in baby, I don't know what you've got
But you'd better take it easy, this place is hot
And I'm so glad we made it, I'm so glad we made it
You've gotta gimme some lovin'
(Gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin'
(Gimme, gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin' everyday
Well I feel so good, everything is sounding hot
Better take it easy 'cos the place is on fire
Been a hard day and I don't know what to do
Wait a minute baby, it could happen to you
I'm so glad we made it, I'm so glad we made it
You've gotta gimme some lovin'
(Gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin'
(Gimme, gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin' everyday, every single day
Well I feel so good, everybody's getting high
Better take it easy 'cos the place is on fire
Been a hard day and nothing went too good
Now I'm gonna relax, honey, everybody should
So glad we made it
I'm so glad we made it
Come on
Gimme some lovin'
(Gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin'
(Gimme, gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin' everyday
Gimme
Gimme some lovin'
Gimme gimme some lovin'
Thats right, baby
Empty city, it's calling your name
Wheel of fortune, sucking you into the game
It's a fatal attraction, that pulls you like a moth to the flame
Empty city, sitting waiting in the hills
Babylonian, promising all kinds of thrills
Here they all know what they want
And they chase it with a passion that kills
Empty city, what's easy come don't let it go
Count your money, every day it seems to grow
Build a wall around your dream, get a gun, don't let nobody close
Are you happy with the life that you chose?
She came in from the desert and the dust
And now she's trying to stay afloat on a crazy sea of lust
It's hard to love a city when that city has no heart
It'll rape your mind and sell your body
It'll tear your soul apart, tear it apart
'Cos when you scratch through the surface
You won't find a damn thing underneath
And everybody's moving on, that's why I believe
It's an empty city, it's an empty city
(Solo)
Empty city, it's calling your name
Wheel of fortune, sucking you into the game
It's a fatal attraction that pulls you like a moth to the flame
'Til you've forgotten your name, where the streets are lined with pain
But I can't stay away
It's an empty city, empty city
Now I look out my window to the street so far below
And I pray I'll see you approaching, don't know why you had to go
It's been so long but I feel no better, I've got to say I'm still so alone
Will I ever get used to this feeling and the nights so long and cold
When all I want to do is hold you, but all I seem to do is cry
And all you had to say the day you walked away
Was "don't wait for me, goodbye"
All my friends they smile when they see me
I guess they know what I'm going through
They don't mention your name to protect me
Now what am I supposed to do?
When all I want to do is hold you, but all I seem to do is cry
And the last thing that you said and it's ringing 'round my head
Was "don't wait for me, goodbye"
How can I replace you? How am I gonna get through every night?
All the time I wasted, all the pain I tasted for you, I'm losing my mind
(Solo)
Why do you have to go away, 'n' leave me like this darlin'
I can't stand it for another day
All I want to do is hold you, but all I seem to do is cry
And the last thing that you said and it's ringing 'round my head
Is "don't wait for me, goodbye"
Don't wait for me, don't wait for me, goodbye
I can't stand it no more, I can't stand livin', livin' without you...
Every morning I wake up, and I switch the TV on
I like to watch the world go by from the safety of my home
News is looking bad today, like it always seems to be
I can't believe I'm so unmoved by the violence that I see
It's a fact of life, but I can't cry anymore, 'cos it happens all the time
Chorus:
I hear the sound of distant thunder, it's coming closer every day
Soon there'll be lightning crashing to the ground
Feels like the end's not far away
As we race towards the future, we're not learning from the past
In the minefields of excess, you can hear the devil laugh
He can see what's going on, 'cos he knows the signs so well
It won't be long before we meet, on the road that leads to hell
In the wink of an eye, a hundred years will pass
So there's no time left to lie
chorus
(Solo)
In the wink of an eye, a hundred years will pass
So there's no time left to lie
chorus
It feels like the end's not far away
I can hear the sound of distant thunder, it's coming closer every day
I can feel it, can you feel it
I can hear the sound, the sound of distant thunder
I can feel it, can you feel it
I can feel it, I can feel that thunder crashing down
I was running late for a night downtown
Me and the boys gonna tie one down
So I took a short cut through an alleyway
And this sound just took my breath away
There she stood with just one guitar
Looking much too good to be in this bar
I tried to leave but my feet were lead
And the song she played just filled my head
'Cos when she sang out that melody, I heard a sound like a backstreet symphony
My senses sung my head was spun, as I walked through the door
I gotta hear some more
So I watched the show in a state of trance
Staying 'til the end waiting for a chance
To meet with her and make her mine
And keep her there 'til the end of time
When she unfolded that melody, I heard a sound like a backstreet symphony
My destiny had guided me through the bar room door
I got to hear some more, I wanna hear some more
(Solo)
'Cos when she sang out that melody, I heard a sound like a backstreet symphony
My destiny had guided me through the bar room door, through the door
I gotta hear some more, I got to got to got to got to hear some more
Backstreet love...
Laying down in this Spanish bar, that last slammer hit me like a car
I've got the 6 a.m. Balearic blues, can't even focus on my own tattoos
I had a fight with this German guy, I saw him give my little girl the eye
While he was trying hard to be so cool, I hit him with a stool
Oh yes, alright, I'll be going all night
Gonna drink 'til they take me away, I'm an Englishman on holiday
Every year I get to do the same, I meet the boys and get on the plane
We like to sing and shout out "here we go"
'Cos they're the only words that we all know
We've got the loudest shirts you've ever seen
We're gonna take the beaches like a team
We've got so much duty free to drink, enough to float a ship
Oh yeah alright, I'll be going all night
So light the paper, get out of the way, I'm an Englishman on holiday
We never look for trouble at the start, but it always comes our way
We've got our pride and we just can't walk away
(Solo)
This morning I woke up inside a cell
They dragged me screaming out of my hotel
I don't remember what it was I did
But I've got this drummer banging in my head
I've got to get out 'fore I miss the plane, next summer I'll be back again
I'll be fighting for the Union Jack, if they let me back
Oh yes, alright, I'll be going all night
Gonna drink 'til they take me away, I'm an Englishman on holiday...
Every day i spend my time, drinking wine, feeling fine
Waiting here to find a sign, that I can understand
yes I am
In the days between the hours, Ivory towers, bloody flowers
Push their heads into the air
I don't care if I ever know, there I go
Don't push your love too far
your wounds won't leave a scar
Right now is where you are, in a broken dream
On the pad before my eyes, paper cries, telling lies
The promises you gave, from the grave of a broken heart
In the days between the hours, Ivory towers, bloody flowers
Push their heads into the air
I don't care if I ever know, there I go
Don't push your love too far
your wounds won't leave a scar
Right now is where you are, in a broken dream
Did someone bow their head?
Did someone break the bread?
Good people are in bed, before nine o' clock
Every day i spend my time, drinking wine, feeling fine
Waiting here to find a sign, that I can understand
yes I am
Oh, don't push your love too far
though your wounds won't leave a scar
Right now is where you are, in a broken dream
Here what I say, okay!
I sit here in my lonely room
Ivory towers, bloody flowers
I sit here in my lonely room
Right here in my lonely room
Uh, that's where you are
Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall of my chair
And I'm wondering if I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
Well, I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to wipe this smile from my face
Lose control and I'm all over the place
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
(Chorus) ~ Well, you started out with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say, "Please, please"
(Repeat Chorus)
Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
And I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering if I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you
Here I am, Here I am
I see you walking by, you've got that faraway look in your eye
It was only yesterday, like a cheap suit you were all over me
I should know better by now my friend, just what I mean to you
You've been running in and out of my life so long
I don't want nothing to do with you
I don't need your dirty love, I don't want you touching me
I don't want your dirty love, it's enough, trying to live with the memory
Na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na
Chew me up, spit me out, you turned my whole world inside out
There's a name for girls like you
You belong in the gutter, I know that you do
Baby I've had enough lies to last the rest of my days on earth
So now you're gonna get what you deserve
I don't need your dirty love, I don't want you touching me
I don't want your dirty love, it's enough
I know there ain't no way I'll stay, we were gonna break it up some day
And that day is now, baby I'm getting out
So don't you cry now, sigh now
'Cos you've been living a lie now when I'm not around
(Solo)
You've been running in and out of my life so long
There ain't no way I'll stay, no way
I don't need your dirty love, I don't want you touching me
I don't want your dirty love, it's enough, trying to live with the memory
Na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na, I don't need your dirty love
So get out, I've packed your bags, I left 'em at the door
Should you ever change your mind
About leaving everything we have behind
It don't matter, for whatever length of time
I'll be waiting
Things are always gonna change
Every day is like another unread page
So if you ever feel the gypsy in you age
I'll be waiting
Cos I'm sure one day, you're gonna find
That there's an answer to the questions in you mind
And when you realise that the answer's there inside
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting forever
Should you ever change your mind
About leaving everything we have behind
It don't matter, any place or any time
I'll be waiting
Mmm I'll Be waiting
I'll be waiting
So tired of waiting I walked an empty land,
I was looking for something to help me understand,
But bad luck kept turning,
My dreams into sand,
I didn't want pity,
I had my share of friends,
I wanted somebody,
More special than the rest,
I was aching inside,
Like I was approaching the end,
Just about that moment,
The timing was so right,
You appeared like a vision,
Sent down to my life,
I thought I was dreaming,
When I saw you that night,
That's when love walked in through my door,
That familiar feeling I had once before,
Love walked in through my door,
And it felt so strange,
It's hard to remember being on my own,
That kind of loving makes a hard man lose control,
But I sleep so much better,
Now I'm not alone,
So promise me baby,
You're always gonna stay,
I don't think I could take it,
Seeing you walk away,
You don't need to doubt it,
I remember that day,
That's when love walked in through my door,
I found just what I wanted,
But I got so much more,
Love walked in through my door,
And it felt so strange,
Like a long lost friend that hadn't changed,
Giving me hope again,
Love walked in,
Love walked in,
Love,
Just about that moment,
The timing was so right,
You appeared like a vision,
Sent down to my life,
I thought I was dreaming,
When I saw you that night,
That's when love walked in through my door,
That familiar feeling I had once before,
Love walked in through my door,
Love walked in through my door,
That familiar feeling I had it once before,
Love walked in through my door,
And it felt so strange,
Like a long lost friend that hadn't changed,
Giving me hope again,
Love walked in,
Love walked in,
Love,
Love walked in,
Cold water eyes, blue as cartoon skies I can't forget
She was everything, part of who I am, my one big regret
Cos it's over now, but a part of me's still waiting
Though I couldn't tell you why
When I feel the touch of your hand, but there's no-one around
I know that I'm dreaming
When I wake up to find it's only me and the night
I know that I'm dreaming again
Oh woah.
I see your face in a crowded place, time after time
and I take it hard, cos it's just my heart playing tricks on my mind
Cos it's over now
But there no use complaining
I've only got myself to blame
When I get the feeling you're near, but there's nobody here
I know that I'm dreaming
And when you call out my name, like a ghost in my brain
I know that I'm dreaming again
Oh, woah
Cos it's over now, and there ain't no use complaining
I've only got myself to blame
When I feel the touch of your hand, but there's no-one around
I know that I'm dreaming
When I wake up to find it's only me and the night
I know that I'm dreaming again
I know that I'm dreaming
When you call out my name, like a ghost in my brain
I know that I'm dreaming again
I must be dreaming
Holed up on the tenth floor, listening to the radio
I heard it as the news broke, saw it on a tv-show
(You ought to be delighted)
(You should be excided) Yeah
('Cos you wanna know)what's the word up on the inside?
(You wanna know)was it just another suicide?
(You wanna know)you're always looking for that one dime head line
'Cos it's the only way you know
To hell with any consequence, you're standing out there now
Shoot your bullet from the hip, just watch it all come down
(But you're so short sighted)
(And they're all invited)hey
('Cos you wanna know)who's been living in the fastlane?
(You wanna know)underneath it you're all the same!
(You wanna know)hurting people, it's your full time campaign!
('Cos you wanna know) - every morning it's the same thing
(You wanna know)you get a kick from the silver aim
(You wanna know)if you think we're gonna drown in our sin
Then it's the only way you know
(You ought to be delighted) mmm
(You should be excided)Yeah
(But you're so short sighted)
(And they're all invited)hey
('Cos you wanna know)what's the word up on the inside?
(You wanna know)was it just another suicide?
(You wanna know)you're always looking for that one damn head line
'Cos it's the only way you'll know
('Cos you wanna know)who's been living in the fastlane?
(You wanna know)underneath it you're all the same!
(You wanna know)hurting people, it's your full time campaign!
She's working the late shift here downtow
In the guts of the city
She's got a room no money down
And it ain't to pretty
But she made up her mind
To leave it behind
Amy had to run, it's alright
She's having fun in another life
And she won't be coming back for anyone
Now Amy's on the run
She's watching the young boys at the bar
All chiselled and felxing
She tells them a joke or two then stops
Just short of confessing
They know she's a man
They al understand
Why Amy had to run, it's alright
She's having fun in another life
And she won't be coming back for anyone
Now Amy's on the run
So she dreams of the day
With everything she scrimps and saves
They're gonna change her all the way
And it's not a crime
It's just that nature got it wrong this time
This time
She made up her mind
To leave it behind
Amy had to run, it's alright
She's having fun in another life
And she won't be coming back for anyone, anyone
Now I know you don't love me baby
You're just trying to find a friend
Darling don't deny
You're a beauty in anybody's eyes
I'm in the gutter and you're in the skies
Shining like a star
Baby don't be cruel
'Cause if you drag me into loving you
My poor heart would surely break in two
And that's a chance I can't take
So don't think I'm stupid, but I don't understand
Why you're talking to me and holding my hand
What d'you want with a loser like me?
'Cause I'm so confused
Look at any other man and you'll see
That I was born to lose
This ain't reality
'Cause I ain't ever fit to shine your shoes
I'm just a loser with the blues
Darling, think again
'Cause you don't love me, you're just trying to find a friend
You're on the rebound and this is bound to end
So set yourself free
You can sit there smiling and laugh it all away
But I'll be here crying when you leave me someday
What d'you want with a loser like me
When the world's in your hands?
When I think of all you could be
And I'm just a fool without a plan
Is there nothing I can say?
Got to make you try and understand
What d'you want with a loser like me?
'Cause I'm so confused
Look at any other man and you'll see
That I was born to lose
This ain't reality
I'm just a loser with the blues
What d'you want with a loser like me
When the world's in your hands?
When I think of all you could be
And I'm just a fool without a plan
Is there nothing I can say?
Got to make you try and understand
I'm just a loser in a band, mmm
I don't wanna talk about love...
Here in my head I should be moving on
But in my heart it's a different story, it's another song
Shackled and tied like a dog out in the cold
I fight it as hard as I can but I've got no control
I know you feel for me but all I feel is pain
I really wanna tel you but how can I explain?
When I don't wanna talk about love, oh no, oh no
I don't wanna talk about love
Everybody's talking 'bout it too much
I know there's no sense in dwelling on the past
But wiht my hand on my heart I can't tell you how long it's gonna last
They say it's good to talk but I have to dissagree
Te more I keep it in the more it sets me free
Cos I don't wanna talk about love, oh no, oh no
I don't wanna talk bout love
I can feel her twisting, crawling under my skin
I gota get the poison out so I can breathe again
I know you feel for me but all I feel is pain
I really wanna tel you but how can I explain?
When I don't wanna talk about love, oh no, oh no
I don't wanna talk about love
When I don't wanna talk about love, oh no, oh no
I don't wanna talk about love
Cut down to the floor, then you're shown the dor
No chance, no space, they're right in your face
You're put upon like a second class citizen
Get to the back of the queue, you're losing it now
You'll get through it somehow
You gotta tough it out
Oh yeah you can't keep a good man down
I said you can push a guy around
But you can't keep a good man down
Tongue-tied, cast aside, needle in your pride
Walking home in the riin cos you missed your ride
It's a no win situation once again
You're sick of telling yourself that it's gonna end
What doesn't kill you my friend, makes you strong in the end
Oh yeah you can't keep a good man down
I said you can push a guy around
But you can't keep a good man down
No trial, no reward, don't fall upon the sword
Back straight, steely eye firmly on the prize
Pick youself up and dust yourself down
Spin the world on your finger once again
I know that you can, don't be afraid to win
Oh yeah you can't keep a good man down
I said you can push a guy around
But you can't keep a good man down
You can't keep a good man down, you can't keep a good man down
Let me tell you 'bout this girl I know
She ain't nothing like any girl you've known before
'Cos everybody wants her
In her dress or her old blue jeans
When you see her you'll be coming apart at the seams
'Cos everybody wants her
She's got everything a man could ask for, she's animal and innocence
She could wrap you 'round her little finger
She's sharp as a knife, you ought to see her dance
Chorus:
(Everybody wants her) Everybody wants her, they make it plain to see
(Everybody needs her) Everybody needs her, she don't know it, but she wants me
The first time that she passed my way
I got so nervous that I couldn't find a thing to say
'Cos everybody wants her
She's told so many guys to sling their hook
But I've been watching her eyes and I've seen her look
She knows everybody wants her
I'm never wrong with my intuition, I'm gonna say what I have to say
I got it worked out to the letter, I know I can make her see it my way
chorus - she wants me
(Solo)
She's got everything a man could ask for, she's animal and innocence
She could wrap you 'round her little finger
She's sharp as a knife, boy you ought to see her dance
You ought to see her dance
chorus
(Everybody wants her) Everybody wants her
I got to tell you that the woman makes it plain to see
(Everybody needs her) Everybody wants her, she don't know
(Everybody wants her) Everybody wants to be her man
(Everybody needs her) Everybody needs her, but she wants me
That's the way it's gotta be, just her and me, together baby
Leaden sky just like a mirror
Reflecting the mood I'm in
Raining hard like it ain't gonna stop
Making tiny rivers on my skin
Doesn't seem like so long ago
Everything I did was right
You moved the goalposts overnight
Woah I can't believe I was blind every single time
Woah And now it's come to this with one fatal kiss.
Tell me how long have I been a sucker?
I bet your friends all know about him
I suppose he's a hell of a lover
Did you go to heaven and back again
Did it ever occur to you
That you'd make me look such a fool?
How could you be so cruel?
Waoh you must have wanted it bad to risk all we had
Waoh when your lips met his for that one fatal kiss
Waoh you must have wanted it bad to risk all we had
Waoh when your lips met his for that one fatal kiss
I can't believe it's come to this
I can't spend my life looking over my shoulder
So don't say you love me cos it's over
No-one wins from this
There's just the bitter taste and emptiness
Woah I can't believe I was blind every single time
Woah And now it's come to this with one fatal kiss.
Waoh you must have wanted it bad to risk all we had
Waoh when your lips met his for that one fatal kiss
I can't believe it's come to this
I wish I could find a way to make it right
I wish I could see an end to this fight
'Cos all I want is a restful sleep tonight
Maybe we're both to blame, I don't know
Or maybe we're both afraid of letting go
Just like a fire that's burning low
The flames are dying, and I can really feel the cold
'Cos I don't care who's wrong or who's right
I can't stand another day, I can't stand another day
All we're doing is wasting out time, just carrying on
When the thrill of it all is gone
I'd rather live all alone, than live in hell
'Cos it feels like I'm doing time, in this prison cell
These four walls, the stories they could tell
But they're in the past, yeah, and we both know it well
'CosI don't care who's wrong or who's right
I can't stand another day, I can't stand another day
All we're doing is wasting out time, carrying on
When the thrill of it all is gone
'Cos if you cast your mind back to the way it was before
I couldn't live without you for a day
And I don't want to kid myself, the truth is plain to see
It's time we turned and went our separate ways
I wish I could find a way to make it right
I wish I could an end to this fight
Why don't we say our long good-byes
and walk away, while we still both have our pride
'Cos I don't care who's wrong or who's right
I can't stand another day, I can't stand another day
'Cos all we're doing is wasting out time, carrying on
When the thrill of it all is gone
Ooh, why don't we say good-bye?
(the thrill of it all is gone)
The candle's low, I've gotta go (the thrill of it all s gone)
Got to say good-bye
(the thrill of it all is gone)
Do you feel what I feel?
Sense what I sense
I’ll shout it from the rooftops
If'll make any difference
Coz every inch I got is riding on you
Are you seeing what I see?
Up ahead in the distance
Are we going by the same place?
Coz I can feel no resistance
Coz every vital sign would indicate it’s true
Do you wanna touch me?
Like I wanna touch you
Coz I, couldn't hide it if I tried
So what have I got to lose?
This time, I’m singing yesterdays news
Are we singing from the same sheet?
Dancing to the same tune
Are we looking through the same eyes?
Barking at the same moon
This could be everything it promises to be
Talking bout the same dream?
You and me
Coz eyes, plays tricks upon your mind
But don't you feed the fuel
This time I’m reading yesterdays news
But you give me no excuse
Yeah
Now its time to move along
Yeah yesterday... whoa yeah...whoa yeah
Are you seeing what I see?
Up ahead in the distance
Are we going by the same place?
Coz I can feel no resistance
Coz every vital sign would indicate it’s true
Do you wanna touch me?
Like I wanna touch you
Coz I, couldn't hide it if I tried
So what have I got to lose
This time I’m reading yesterdays news
Yeah I
This time I’m singing yesterdays news
I’m singing yesterdays news
I don't wanna hear you whisper, I don't wanna hear you moan
I don't wanna isten too you talking on the telephone
Always talking on the telephone
Nothing's how it ever should be, nothing's ever good enough
I'm tired of hearing all the reasons why you really had it tough
You really realy had it tough
It's the morning after the night before
And your paranoia's scratching at the door
you can justify it, but you're the bitch and you're the slave
With one foot in the grave
Could've been a ral contender could've been a movie star
verybody used to tell you you're beautiful and you'll go far
So beautiful and you'll go far
But time cam be a cruel leveller, time will kick your heart around
I don't understand why you wanna help it put u in the ground
Gonna help it put you in the ground
After a while the thrill wears thin
So the next thing you know, you're racking them out gain
So don't come around here if it's sympathy you crave
With one foot in the grave
I don't wanna hear you whisper, I don't wanna hear you moan
I don't wanna isten too you talking on the telephone
Always talking on the telephone
Nothing's how it ever should be, nothing's ever good enough
I'm tired of hearing all the reasons why you really had it tough
You really realy had it tough
Cos now they talk about you like you're long gone
Your reputation's sinking like a stone
So what you gonna do about it?
Are you big enough to change the way that you behave?
There's an awful lot at stake
It was the last night of the 20th Century
And the party was going strong
Champagne, beer wine and whisky
Everyone was totally gone
2am in the morning I see a stranger walking in
Said his name was Charlie and somebody'd sent for him
Then everybody's laughing, everybody's high
Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why
I'd never seen such a queue for the bathroom
Since I hung out at The Sunset Bar
And that line of Californian denial
Didn't stretch even halfway as far
I never had so many people boring me to death
Am I the only fool that needs to go to bed?
'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high
Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why
Just wanna die
If you're staring in the face of temptation
But it don't blow your skirt up high
You're naive to the situation
'Til your friends get that look in their eyes
'Cause when they ask the question
Why I never had a try,
I said
"Take a look around the room, you'll see the reason why!"
'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high
Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why
Don't know why
'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high
Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why
No I don't know why
'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high
Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why
'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high
I couldn't sleep last night, listening to the sound in my head
I couldn't fight it, so I thought I'd walk the street instead,
Then it started to rain, and all the guilt and the pain
just for a moment, I felt it washing away
Today was just the same, wondering when the feeling would pass,
I rearranged the room, but it didn't help me shake off the past, oh no
I can still see your face, frozen in time and in space
And I don't know, if I can take any more
'Cos all I ever wanted was you
But in a moment of weakness, I broke it in two
All i ever wanted was you
Just say you love me
I can still see your face, frozen in time and in space (Mmm)
And I don't know (I don't know), if I can take any, any more
'Cos all I ever wanted was you
But in a moment of weakness, I broke it in two
All i ever wanted was you
Just say you love me
All I ever wanted was you
I was jealous and stupid, but what can I do?
'Cos all I ever wanted was you
to say you love me
Just say you love me
In the morning, please don't say you love me
'Cause I'll only kick you out off these doors
I know your name is Rita
But your best friend's smelling sweeter
Since when i saw you lying on the floor
Get up, get out now
You won't need too much pursueing
'Cause about now seems to break in
No, with a face like yours
You've got nothing to laugh about
Red lips, hair and finger nails
I hear you're a mean old Jessabell
They screw up stance before I get you home
Stay with me, stay with me
Oh, tonight you're gonna stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me
Oh, tonight you're gonna stay with me
Yeah
Take it man
In the morning, please don't say you love me
'Cause I'll only kick you out off these doors
I know your name is Rita
Well your best friend's smelling sweeter
Since when i saw you lying on the floor
Get up, get out now
Stay with me, stay with me
Oh, tonight you're gonna stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me
Oh, tonight you're gonna stay with me
Long drive across a dusty plain
clear my eyes, clear my brain
I guess I neded some time
You and I are at the stage
where we stay together or make a change
We both know that it's right
Avoiding the future won't cut it anymore
We need to decide
Cos I can't stay in this place all my life
Are we one thing or the other
Are we only killing the time?
Together or apart, better mke up your mind
I'm not trying to force your hand
I just wanna know where I stand
To get it straight in my head
Don't be afraid to tel the truth
Either way I'll still love you
Even if it's the end
It's no use pretending that this'll go away
It's been coming so long
Cos I know I won't be hapy inside
Until we realy talk about it
And I know there's nothing to hide
Together or apart, are you breaking my heart
Better make up your mind
Cos we're out of time
There's no right or wrong here, it's just the way it is
No need for disguise
Whatever your feelings, just look in my eyes
And you won't lie
Cos I can't stay in this place all my life
Are we one thing or the other
Are we only killing the time?
Together or apart, better mke up your mind
We gotta sit and talk about it
Till I know there's nothing to hide
Together or apart, are you breaking my heart?
Last night I got a big surprise
As I was studying the back of my eyes
You were right there in my head
Pole-dancing at the end of my bed
I don't know what to do
I had a dirty dream about you
I couldn't see what the fuss was about when
My best friend started checking you out
But now I've seen you in a different light
I'm playing with dynamite
Now all I wanna do is share my dirty dream with you
Imagination I'd never underrate
But now the seed is sown
It's a little bit late
It's so right now but it's so wrong
Deep, dark desire is coming on strong
I feel the rhythm and I wanna play along
I didn't ask to be put in this place
How am I ever gonna look you in the face
When all I want is to see you there
In your high heels and underwear
Cos all I wanna do is make my dirty dream come true
I bet you're wondering why the sudden change
If you'd seen what I've seen you wouldn't think it's strange
It's so wrong now but it's so right
Some kind of voodoo in the middle of the night
I don't wanna do it but I'm thinking that I might
Dance like you did last night
You know I won't put up a fight
Do it like you did before
I'll turn the music up a little more
Don't you fade away
Stay with me 'til day
Imagination I'd never underrate
But now the seed is sown
It's a little bit late
It's so right now but it's so wrong
Deep, dark desire is coming on strong
I feel the rhythm and I wanna play along
It's so wrong now but it's so right
Some kind of voodoo in the middle of the night
I don't wanna do it but I'm thinking that I might
Do it like you did before
Oh boy, I'm finally on the loose
So you best look out I'm coming after you
Paint my lips and hide my eyes
I'm gonna lure you in with an innocent disguise like
Pardon me I'm liking what I see
If I'm not mistaken I saw you watching me
Just one wink
Your buying me a drink
Now it's just a matter of time
Putting out that fire
I'm giving you the eye
Hear the thunder of my heartbeat
Gonna hunt you down
I'll have you on the ground
Before you even know what's happening
You think that you have captured me
I'm just a pretty little catch that's bouncing on your knee
But when we leave my darling we will see if you are man enough to feed the animal in me, yeah
Don't you try to look me in the eye
Cause all this rapid movement is getting me excited
Arch my back I'm ready to attack
Let me show you what I got on my mind
Putting out that fire
I'm giving you the eye
Hear the thunder of my heartbeat
Gonna hunt you down
I'll have you on the ground
Before you even know what's happening
Cause I'm prowling
You'll hear the thunder of my heartbeat
Cause I'm prowling
You'll hear the thunder of my heartbeat
Now this chase is picking up the pace
Come a little closer I'll give you just a taste
We're sure to come before the night is done
Now it's just a matter of time
I'm putting out that fire
I'm giving you the eye
Hear the thunder of my heartbeat
Gonna hunt you down
I'll have you on the ground
Putting out that fire
Putting out that fire
Putting out that fire
I hear the thunder of my heartbeat
Gonna hunt you down
Before you even know what's happening
Ooh who-oh
Who-oh
I'm coming after you (Who-oh)
I'm coming after you (Who-oh)
You best look out
I'm coming after you (Who-oh)
I'm coming after you (Who-oh)
Who-oh
I hear the thunder of my heartbeat
Gonna hunt you down
Before you even know what's happening
I hear the thunder of my heartbeat
Gonna hunt you down
Before you even know what's happening
Putting out that fire
(Who-oh)
Putting out that fire
(Who-oh)
Who-oh
Putting out that fire
Putting out that fire
Putting out that fire
I hear the thunder of my heartbeat
Gonna hunt you down
Before you even know what's happening
Ooh who-oh
I hear the thunder of my heartbeat
Gonna hunt you down
Before you even know what's happening
I hear the thunder of my heartbeat
Gonna hunt you down
Before you even know what's happening
Ooh who-oh
Putting out that fire
(Who-oh)
Putting out that fire
(Who-oh)
... And if you lived in me
You'd think that I'm insane
I know I don't belong here
I push my limits over lines that I could not explain
For reasons that are never clear
I'm rushed and closing in on my demon's trail
Where all my promised thoughts lie waiting still unbroken
But anytime I trip my darker half refrains,
"I doubt you'll ever turn into some heroine"
Someday I must belong here
Sometimes I think so much I've missed that boat I've prayed
Would come untie these hands I fear
Still every hour's just another breath I take to stay awake
And all my promised thoughts lie waiting still unbroken
But anytime I trip my darker half refrains,
"I doubt you'll ever turn into some heroine"
Lightning has to fill the sky
Before I learn how to listen for the thunder in my head
I'm rushed and closing on my demon's trail
My wings have fallen out
Three thirty in the morning
Not a soul insight
The city's lookin' like a ghost town
On a moonless summer night
Raindrops on the windshield
There's a storm moving in
He's headin' back from somewhere
That he never should have been
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls
Every light is burnin'
In a house across town
She's pacin' by the telephone
In her faded flannel gown
Askin' for miracle
Hopin' she's not right
Prayin' it's the weather
That's kept him out all night
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls
The thunder rolls
And the lightnin' strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls
She's waitin' by the window
When he pulls into the drive
She rushes out to hold him
Thankful he's alive
But on the wind and rain
A strange new perfume blows
And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes
And he knows that she knows
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls
The thunder rolls
And the lightnin' strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
Another nice DecemberWe always loved this weather
The snows a falling and
The winds cry out.
See the sound of thunder
Now shes a storm within her
But now shes with some other
The lightning crashes and
The rains pour down
See the sound of thunder
Am I blind from color?
Will I love no other?
The storm is over and
The heavens pour down
See the sound of thunder
Yeah Yeah
Sometimes I like to get high
And never come down
Sometimes I like to get high
And never come down
Sometimes I like to get high
