I saw him first
he came around
The day my angel came to town
This is just a love song, yeah
Well, his shine was white, he rode the light
he let his wings go where they might
he looked to be a wild one, yeah
When he just got in my car and said
Girl, drive me to the end of the World
All I want is an angel
And I know he will stay on my mind all the way
All I want is an angel
One like you
Like you, yeah
We drove all day we didn't stop
Along the way until the top
Of the cliff by the sea, yeah
So, he played his tapes of afghan wings
'Cos that's the rock'n' roll he digs, well
It was all a fantasy
All I what is an angel
And I know he will stay on my mind all the way
All I what is an angel
one like you
Like you
And when the night tumbled down on us
His name was tattooed over my heart
All I want is an angel
Then I know he will stay on my mind all the way
All I want is an angel
One like you
Like you
The moon was high and so was I
'Cos I was drowning in his eyes
And while the waves crashed to the shore
I would politely ask for more
I didn't even know his name
But frankly that was all the same
Because I just could not believe
That this was happening to me
All I want is an angel
I can hold on a leash
Who will do what I please
All I want is an angel
Just for me
Just for me
All I want is an angel
Then I know he will stay on my mind all the way
All I want is an angel
One like you
I'm lying wide awake in bed
My eyes are closed just like I'm dead
My friends all think that I'm a bore
But I don't need them anymore
I don't get up I don't go out
I have no life to speak about
It feels so good to leave the blame with you
That's what I do
I'm going down
Come around
Watch me when I hit the ground
Give me just one fix of your
Your sweet american love
I go blind
Lose my mind
Leave the world I know behind
Just to feel it one last time
Sweet american love
My telephone is off the hook
My eyes are closed I'm scared to look
I bet you're happy now you're free
But what about poor little me
I draw your picture on the wall
My phone is dead and still your call
My mama asked I told her I get by
That's such a lie
I'm going down
Come around
Watch me when I hit the ground
Give me just one fix of your
Your sweet american love
I go blind
Lose my mind
Leave the world I know behind
Just to feel it one last time
My sweet american love
I've kept the things you gave to me
The air is clear but I can't see
And a cheerful radio boasts that " Love is in the air"
But it's so full of shit
A sony is it?
So what D'ya you have to leave me for
Was it my hair, was I such a bore
Well you know baby
That you were always my only choice
(goin' down, come around, watch me when I hit the ground)
Gimme just one fix of your, your american love, american love
(I go blind, lose my mind, leave the world I know behind)
Just to feel it one last time
Oh my god here I go again I'm
About to get in deep
I'm completley obsessed with you and
that's why I lose me sleep
Can I be your shepherd can I the torch and the light the way
I just wanna hold you smell you and have you every day
Can I have your inner secrts can I write about then in a song
Just don't keep me hanging i've been hanging much too long
Oh baby you're so cool
so beautiful I bet you rule
And you're nobodys fool
Oh baby you're so cool
I love your white lies your spunk your grand prize
the evil in your eyes
Your smell your levis your taste your dress size
Your see-through alibis
I follow you around all day I cling to you like I'm some kind of tail
I sleep outside your doorstep and sometimes I even read your mail
I watch you every weekday and I watch you sundays in the park
Baby are you nuclear cos you're glowing in the dark
Oh baby you're so cool
so beautiful I bet you rule
And you're nobodys fool
Oh baby you're so cool
My perversion my introversion has got me on my knees
Lets get down and explore each other so I can find some peace
One look at you it's clear I've never wanted anyone this bad
I'm pretty damn sure you're better than the ones that I've had
You're such a trip just watching you sends shivers down my spine
I bet you're really bad for me now I just gotta make you mine
Oh baby you're so cool
so beautiful I bet you rule
And you're nobodys fool
Once in a while
When I'm sleeping
My horses are wild
And I'm weeping
Just like a child
I wake up dreaming that I've been loved
Nights are in blue
And Castillian
Thinking of you
Senses reeling
Diving into
This feeling that I have been loved
Lucky for you
You know what to do
When somebody hurts you
Somebody enters your life, disappears
Leaves you in tears
Stirs up your fears, oh yeah
If you have a clue
About what to do
Then it's lucky for you, yeah, yeah
Still lucky for me
You're amazing
You made me see
Sparks come blazing
I was lucky to be
Made to feel like I had been loved
Lucky for you
You know what to do
When somebody hurts you
Somebody enters your life, disappears
Leaves you in tears
Stirs up your fears, yeah, yeah, yeah
If you have a clue
About what to do
Then it's lucky for you
I didn't think you would sacrifice
U-u, the love I made you receive, no, no
I'd pay a grand for some paradise
but I'm just too scared to believe, o-o-oh!
Instrumental
Lucky for you
If you know what to do
When somebody hurts you
Somebody enters your life, disappears
Leaves you in tears
Stirs up your fears, yeah, yeah, yeah
If you have a clue
About what to do
When somebody hurts you
Somebody enters your life, disappears
Leaves you in tears
Stirs up your fears, yeah, yeah
If you have a clue
About what to do
Babe it's me calling
Are you alive and well
How is your mama has the weather been okay
Do you forget me
Do you exclude my name
When you narrate your life to all your newfound friends
But I am creeping up on you
Keeping an eye on what you do
Baby there is gonna be
No more playing games with me
You should not be
Messing with me
Try me and you will see
Baby don't be
Messing with me
I can't wait to make you see
Give me your money
Give me your peace of mind
Just give me something in return for what you stole
I'm cut but no bleeding
Scarred but not torn apart
I just need something kinda strong to fill the hole
Well you can change your haircut change your name
I am gonna find you all the same
Baby there is gonna be
No more getting smart with me
You should not be
Messing with me
Try me and you will see
I wanna know
Where do you go
And where is that leaving me
Never thought I'd get to see
The jealousy livin' inside of me
You should not be
Messing with me
Try me and you will see
Baby don't be
Messing with me
I can't wait to make you see
You should not be
Messing with me
Try me and you will see
I wanna know
Where do you go
I used to love the girl but
Now i just don't know
Don't get me wrong now she could not
Have loved me more
I'ts just that the time has come for me to be gone
I guess I should be moving along
But when the city calls out her name
I'll be missing her
Oh I'll be missing her then
Missing her then
Missing her then
Missing her so much so much then
Missing her then
Missing her then
Missing her so much then
When I am half asleep sometimes I hear her voice
Wish I could tell her it's all right wish I had a choice
But hey
I guess it was not meant to be
I guess she was not meant for me
And when the city calls out her name
I'll be missing her
Oh I'll be missing her then
Missing her then
Missing her then
Missing her so much so much then
Missing her then
Missing her then
Missing her so much then
I just have to break her heart this one last time
But then she'll find her peace of mind
And when the city calls out her name
I'll be missing her
Oh I'll be missing her then
Missing her then
Missing her then
Missing her so much so much then
Missing her then
Missing her then
There's a place by the river in the back of my mind
Daddy you showed me but back than I was blind
Just give me directions I promise I'll go
Please let me see 'cos I'm too young to know
Let me see 'cos I'm too young to know
I found what I searched for a warm August night
In a dream in a desert I was high as a kite
When I finally learned how to manage my states
I poured out my heart on the Buffalo Tapes
On those beautiful Buffalo Tapes
Give me one if by land
Give me two if by sea
Give me three if my cool friends are asking for me
Tell them I have gone fishing
And that no one knows where
'Cos daddy they hate me when I am not there
Oh they hate me when I am not there
Oh the tip of my pen has run totally dry
From hundreds of letters to you asking why
They sent invitations they hated my stay
They're shooting my wings while I'm flying away
They're shooting my wings away
And now I'm so happy that I've broken free
Daddy is it all that I hoped it would be
Will the rain make my river grow into a flow
Please let me see 'cos I'm too young to know
I'm happier than him, I'm happier than her
I'm happier than everybody else in the world
I'm happier across the board and I just don't like it
Well, I can feel the buzz spreading everywhere
No matter where I go, I feel it in the air
It's a warm and fuzzy feeling and I just don't like it
Doctor, doctor can you help me?
My system is all out of wack
Please can you get the old me back
The kind of me who's filled with bitterness
Towards everyone and everything in site
He was a mean old bastard and I want him back alright
I'm happier than him, I'm happier than her
So happy that I can't see straight, it's all a blur
I'm happier across the board and it makes me nervous
So let me have a pill or just a shot of booze
Because I've become so happy I'm about to blow a fuse
And I need to get my mood down to where I can stand it
Doctor, doctor can you help me?
My system is all out of wack
Please can you get the old me back
The kind of me who's filled with bitterness
With things that every colleague is a hack
He was a mean old fucker, but I kind of want him back
Doctor, doctor can you help me?
My head is sore, my knees are bad
And still I feel so fucking glad
I don't know how to make it through this bliss
Don't take away that monkey on my back
Come get me down and put me back on track
I have always been the type to think before I speak
I have always been the type to look before I leap
And like a bolt out of the blue I was struck and there was you
For a moment I believed that I could let go
You lift me up into the sky
Felt like I could fly
never gonna die
n' I almost made it but not quite
Now you're flying out of sight
and you know I can't come with you
I'll always be scared of heights
always be scared of heights
I didn't think I'd meet someone who'd make me change my ways
Never thought I'd find someone who'd brighten up my days
Someone who made me forget
my hands were tied
my wings were clipped
Someone who made me believe that I could let go
You lift me up into the sky
I felt like I could fly
I was never gonna die
n' I almost made it but not quite
you're flying out of sight
and you know I can't come with you
'cause I'll always be scared of heights
scared of heights
Wish I never knew how great it feels up in the air
Wish I never got to feel the wind blow through my hair
Well, in my dreams you'll always be flying high along with me
and in my dreams I'll always feel that I can let go
You lift me up into the sky
I feel like I can fly
I'm never gonna die
N' I almost made it but not quite
now you're flying out of sight
and now I can't come with you
When I have to sleep alone
When I'm far away from home
When I've lost the will to try
When I fear I'm won't get by
When the night is long and I can't see
She comes to me
She says
"Life la la la la la la la la
Life is good, baby
Oh life la la la la la la la la
You mean so much to me
So I don't want to see
You breaking down"
When I think I'm going down
When I think I've hit the ground
And wherever I may go
She's always there with me I know
When I'm alone she comes to me and she says
"Life la la la la la la la la
Life is good, baby
Oh life la la la la la la la la
You mean so much to me
So I don't want to see
You breaking down"
She only comes to me at night
She sits me down she holds me tight
And when the demons in my head
Fight the angels in my bed
She tells me "baby it's allright"
"Life la la la la la la la la
Life is good, baby
Oh life la la la la la la la la
You mean so much to me
So I don't want to see
Chorus:
When Susannah cries
she cries a rainstorm
she cries a river
she cries a hole in the ground
she cries for love
she cries a sad song
she cries a shiver
sometimes she cries for me too
And I say I'll never hurt her
but she knows it isn't true
'cos although I never told her
I think she knews bout me and you
now she cries with silent tension
this can't be right
and the downtown special cries along
'cos I'm leaving tonight
Chorus
Now I slip the night around her
and I hope she'll be okay
I just pray someone will find her
and guide her along her way
'cos I'm leaving on the 1 a.m.
by soon I'm out of sight
but she'll always be my baby
though I'm leaving tonight
Every night I hear her
talking in her sleep
she says "You know I always be there"
and I feel like such a creep
please take back the love she gave to me
and in time her grief will pass
just tell her that I loved her
now it's all she has
oohoho whooohooo

Now it's all she has
When Sussanah cries
I will come to pick you up
You'll be waiting by the church downtown
No one's gonna make you stop
We'll be raiding straight out of this town
Like so many times before
When we reach the shore
We dive into the sea
The sea of love
We dive into the sea
The sea of love
You look so pretty tonight
Have I told you that you look like a movie star?
And this can't lie
Baby that is just what you are
Remember this forever
It's a final and ever
And you say you miss me so
Don't you know
I'll be everywhere you go
In the sea of love
Oooooh ooooooooooh oh
And I love you, I love you, I love so much
Walk with me this final mile
(Walk with me this final mile)
Can't tell me that your loving is all I need
To get me to the other side
(Get me to the other side)
And baby I'll be meeting you there someday
And before I say "Hello"
I'll say "Do you wanna go?"
Swimming in the sea
The sea of love
Go swimming in the sea
The sea of love
Come on baby let us go
(Come on baby let us go)
Swimming in the after bow
(Swimming in the after bow)
Drowning in the undertow
In the sea of love
(In the sea of love)
The sea of love
I spoke to Elvis on the phone
The other day
His ghost was calling
From a pay phone in L.A.
He said he'd meet me
On the corner of my dreams
And we would ride to heaven
To see the stuff you can't see
On your TV screen
Ah-hah
A-ha-ha yeah
Ooh-o-oh yeah
We drove his Cadillac
Up to heaven's floor
Knock knock knockin'
On heaven's door
Yeah
The security angel asked for some I.D.
Then the gate parted
And the music started
As we rolled into the front yard
If I was special
Maybe I
Could be a hero
When I die
I'd get my wings and learn to fly
Yeah-e-yeah yeah
I feel so funky 'cos I know
When I die I wish to go
To the place
Where all the heroes go to die
I-hi I-i-hi yeah
Oh-o-hi yeah
This special heaven
Was home to all the stars
The first one I saw was Hendrix
Burning his guitar
Freddie Mercury and Kennedy was there
But I didn't see Marilyn
So I forgot to ask about their affair
If I was special
Maybe I
Could be a hero
When I die
I'd get my wings and learn to fly
Yeah-e-yeah-ah
I feel so funky 'cos I know
When I die I wish to go
To the place
Where all the heroes go to die
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Mmm...)
(...)
My skin is dotted pink and green
I hope to God this is a dream
Or else I'm gonna scream
(...)
If you say I lie to you
I tell you every word is true too
(...)
Ah yeah
That very evening I had a talk with God
My lord he asked me
I bet you don't know how it feels
To be walking past your house at night
I bet you don't know how it feels
To stand outside and watch the lights
And I don't know why
I just can't seem to dry
The rain on my face
All the tears I've cried
I think of the day
When you pushed me away
What can I do when I still love you?
What can I do?
Where can I hide -
From all of these feelings I keep inside?
It's dark as can be
And you'll never see
Just what it's like to feel..
What it's like to feel unloved
I bet you don't know how it feels
When your life flashes before your eyes
I bet you don't know how it feels
The moment when you realize
That you lost all you had
All that's good - all that's bad
And everyone tells you, you should be glad
Your love for me is gone
I should be moving on
And find someone new - but I still love you
What can I do?
Where can I hide -
From all of these feelings I keep inside?
It's dark as can be
And you'll never see
Just what it's like to feel..
What it's like to feel unloved
If I could turn back time
If I could press rewind
Go back to the days when you were mine
What can I do?
Where can I hide -
From all of these feelings I keep inside?
It's dark as can be
And you'll never see
Just what it's like to feel..
you can take away the pictures
leave me staring at the wall
you disconnect the telephone
so i never hear you call
try to erase all the memories
of the things we used to do
if you could rip my heart out
i bet your would have wanted to
take away all my sadness, all the darkness
every bit of pain
take away all the bad words, though the truth hurts
we're better off this way
if you walk out of my life
leave me here with nothing more to say
just take it all away
just take it all away
truth hurts
you can say you never meant it
and take back what you gave to me
just pack up your possessions
and leave the stuff that i don't need
you can empty out the bookshelf
leave your keys at the door
don't forget to rip my heart out
cos i don't need it anymore
take it away, take it away
i don't need this drama anymore
take it away, take it away
this is not worth fighting for
take away all my sadness, all the darkness
every bit of pain
take away all the bad words, though the truth hurts
we're better off this way
if you walk out of my life
leave me here with nothing more to say
just take it all away
just take it all away
truth hurts
you can't leave me picking up the pieces that were
once my life
i don't know if we'll be able to make this right
don't blame yourself it's not as if we didn't try
if you're gonna walk away, i'm gonna be ok
My shine is white I ride the light
I let my wings decide where I go
I fly around and see the town and
Watch the people go with the flow
I single out just one by one
And follow them an hour or so
But when I saw you baby
I just knew I couldn't let you go
Cos this is the time
This is the place
I'm just an angel
But you'll never stay
So I lie alone
Scared to the bone
So cold and I'm far away from home
Cos this is the time
This is the place
I followed you a week or two
I never let you out of my sight
I slept right next beside you
And kept an eye on you through the night
If you could see things from my view
I'm sure you'd understand what I mean
I would cut my strings I would clip my wings
If only you could see what I've seen
Cos this is the time
This is the place
I'll always love you
But you'll never stay
So I lie alone
Scared to the bone
So cold and I'm far away from home
Cos this is the time
This is the place
Time flies by so fast when you have fun
Like silver bullets from a gun
So tired of being on the run
Nice angels have no fun
Cos this is the time
This is the place
I'll always love you
But you'll never stay
So I lie alone
Scared to the bone
So cold and I'm far away from home
Cos this is the time
This is the place
There are no angels
Where I gotta stay
So I lie alone
Scared to the bone
So cold and I'm far away from home
And this is the time
Can you hear me calling out tonight
Tryin’ to make it right
And right all the wrongs that I’ve done
There are times when life gets out of hand
Not the way you planned
Not the way that you wished it would go
It’s like I’m seeing your face on every corner
And I just need to know
Did I mess with your head
Was it something I said
Did I hurt something there deep inside
If I had played by the rules
Stopped acting like a fool
Would you still be right here by my side
It I hurt your pride
I apologize
Do you ever stop to think of me
Do you still believe
That we made the world go ‘round
Now the ghost that you have left behind
Haunts me all the time
So please tell me what I should do
Cos I’m still hearing your footsteps in the hallway
And I just need to know
Did I mess with your head
Was it something I said
Did I hurt something there deep inside
If I had played by the rules
Stopped acting like a fool
Would you still be right here by my side
It I hurt your pride

i'm not worthy of thee
Ive been up and down, Ive been all around
I was mystified, almost terrified
But late at night I still hear you call my name
Ive been on my own, Ive been all alone
I was hypnotized, I felt paralyzed
But late at night I still want you just the same
Ive been a gambler, but Im nobodys fool
And I sure know something, sure know something
You showed me things they never taught me in school
And I sure know something, sure know something
No one can make me feel the way that you do
And I sure know something, aha
I was seventeen, you were just a dream
I was mesmerized, I felt scared inside
You broke my heart and I still can feel the pain
Ive been counted out, Ive had fear and doubt
Ive been starry eyed, never satisfied
cause late at night I still need you just the same
Just the same
Ive been a gambler, but Im nobodys fool
And I sure know something, sure know something
You showed me things they never taught me in school
And I sure know something, sure know something
No one can make me feel the way that you do
And I sure know something, aha
Ive been counted out, Ive had fear and doubt
Ive been starry eyed, never satisfied
cause late at night I still need you just the same
Just the same, yeah
Ive been a gambler, but Im nobodys fool
And I sure know something, sure know something
You showed me things they never taught me in school
And I sure know something, sure know something
No one can make me feel the way that you do
And I sure know something, sure know something
No one can tell me till I hear it from you
And I sure know something, sure know something
Ive been a gambler, but Im nobodys fool
Sure know something, sure know something
You showed me things they never taught me in school
Sure know something, sure know something
Full speed down the motorway
On my second day
But I'm not going back
Nothing's gonna make me turn around tonight
Not sure what I'm running from
Where I'm going to
Or what I'm going to do
To get away
To get away
Don't wanna meet you tonight
When I see you baby
It gets me down so bad
I think about you all day
And everything that we had
I can't forget you baby
But God knows I have tried
So please go easy on me
And stay away tonight
Could've sworn that I heard your voice
Cutting throught the noice
On my car stereo
Could be I'm just about to lose my mind
You said nothing statys the same
Because people change
We all keep moving on
But I'd give it all
I'd give it all
To travel back in time
When I see you baby
It gets me down so bad
I think about you all day
And everything that we had
I can't forget you baby
But God knows I have tried
So please go easy on me
And stay away tonight
Ain't nothing gonna change it
Ain't no one gonna make it right
I lose it when I see you baby
Just roll the soundtrack
Let the lights dim down to blue
They've dressed their voodoo dolls
And named them after you
Burn your every bridge
Sever all your ties
Give confessions where
You serve them all your lies
Does it get you high
Does it make you whole
Does it get you by
As you play your role
You make me so hard
Because you're a star
You dress like the devil
Then you sing like a god
They love when you smile
You rock'n'roll child
Baby this is pop from hell
Just wear your knee pads
And your finest little dress
When uncle Devil comes
Disguised as great success
Jesus was a saint
You the biggest fan
Bet his money on
The horse that bit his hand
Don your finest shirt
Rip yourself apart
Wallow in the dirt
Baby that's your art
You make me so hard
Because you'rea star
You dress like a devil
And they label it art
They got you on tape
So you can't escape
Baby this is pop from hell
You're in too deep
Your life will make you weep
When you see the battle isn't won
It's only just begun
You make me so hard
Because you're a star
And I just don't believe
You don't like what you've got
They know how to throw
One hell of a show
What if I said you had to leave me
Would you believe that it was you I was thinking of
What if I told you just to fly free
Would you believe it was so you'd be better off
What if I told you Im ready
What if I told you Im prepared to make that sacrifice
Would you believe it was the best I could do
Well maybe not, but it's true
cos I would even die for you
If I told you that Ive loved you from that first sight
Would you believe me for I swear I tell no lie
What if I told you that just last night
I made my mind up and I promised not to cry
What if I told you Im ready
What if I told you Im prepared to make that sacrifice
Would you believe it was the best I could do
Well maybe not, but it's true
cos I would even die for you
So now my love I have to leave you
For once my words have to replace your tender love
That always paints my sky in clear blue
To try and paint this final portrait of my love
cos baby now I am ready
cos baby now I am prepared to let you out of my life
And when you said my eyes were beautiful
that's cos they were looking at you
like all good kids from broken homes
you travel light and walk alone
make no fuss keep your cards off the table
stand up straight in a sea of unstable
you like to leave no trace behind
prefer to be on no one's mind
your drinks were spiked and your thoughts were stolen
before you knew it the web was woven
so ride hard, ride alone
deal with it on your own
what you gonna do
i feel with you
cos i'm a nightrider too
a house of cards on shaky land
slowly sinking in the sand
ridin' down tonite there is blood on the tracks
and something big behind you tryin' to pull you back
so ride hard, ride alone
face the music on your own
what you gonna do
i feel with you
cos i'm a nightrider too
so much water since that day
but some things never go away
lots of darkness in the past
all those years went by so fast
so ride hard, ride alone
deal with it on your own
what you gonna do
i feel with you
Movie Star
I shouldn’t be here now, you know
This is not allowed
Someone’s bound to see me here
Somebody’s gonna find out
I don’t wear my heart on my sleeve
And you hardly know who I am
Who knows just what this could have been
It was over before it began
If there was a film playing in my heart
Then you’d have been a movie star
Nobody else could have played your part
No, you’d have been a movie
you’d have been a movie star
That’s what you are
I know how it works, I’ll let it go
I’ll let you drift out of my life
Too many things to take a chance on
There's too much to sacrifice
But I thank you for all you’ve been
However little it may seem
Believe me girl, it’s no small deed
To raise a has-been’s self esteem
If there was a film playing in my heart
Then you’d have been a movie star
Nobody else could have played your part
No, you’d have been a movie
you’d have been a movie star
That’s what you are
No big silver screen
No award winning scene
Just a bittersweet ending
to what might have been
Ahhh
Yeah
So I’ll let myself out
and I’ll lock the door
I’m throwing away the key
Nothing is left but the memory
It’ll always belong to me
With you I could see clearly
With you I understood
With you I’d live forever
With you I felt like someone good
You asked me back for more
I walked up to your door
I asked to come inside
You said to stay the night
What are the secret words
You claim you never heard from me
What code should I have cracked
For you to ask me back
With you I could see clearly
With you I understood
With you I’d live forever
With you I felt like someone good
I’ve walked a million miles
But I’m still around
Ain’t nothing I can do
To shake the ghost of you
The cards that I’ve been dealt
The sting that I have felt
For all the games I’ve played
I guess it’s time to pay
With you I could see clearly
With you I understood
With you I’d live forever
With you I felt like someone good
Ohoh ohoh ohoh yeaaaaaaahh...!!
Just tell me you’re all right, and tell me
That you sleep at night
I know you’re there to stay
A million miles away
A million miles away
A million miles away
A million miles away
A million miles away yeahyeah
With you I could see clearly
With you I understood
With you I’d live forever
With you I felt like someone good
With you I could see clearly
With you I understood
With you I’d live forever
was it really this hard
to be in your skin
to want what you wanted
knowing you couldn't win
was it really this long
the road that you walked
before you laid down
the lines around you were chalked
godspeed my friends
may you never be lonely again
and the enemy from whom
you always have run
was yourself and your army of one
you wish there was something
that you could have done
no tape to rewind and
there never was a square one
life's been unkind
and people are cruel
it's just another show, you need to go
beyound it, don't be a fool
godspeed my friend
may you never be lonely again
and the enemy from whom
you always have run
was yourself and your army of one
lay down and rest we all know you have earned it
lay down and sleep for a while
and i know there is comin' some kind of change in the weather
but i'll never see your again
godspeed my friend
this is where you and i end
and the enemy from whom
you always have run
was yourself and your army of one
no more shall you have to run
from yourself and your army of one
i will always remember you
Wish I could explain exactly how I feel
In my heart, my head, my body
When you're near
I wish I knew which words to say
When you call my name and I begin to studder
Wish I knew what I could do to make you fall for me
Cause I, I have been waiting all my life
For someone to come and put things right
Never knew who she was
Never knew what she looked like
Till now
Everyone said that I would know
When she appears it's gonna show
And now you are here and from where I'm standing
You look like her
Everybody needs somebody to see them through
I've been around the world
But baby,here are you
And it's not fair for all these years
I've been right here and only now i find you
Wish I knew what I could do to make you fall for me
Cause I ,I have been waiting all my life
For someone to come and put things right
Never knew who she was
Never knew what she looked like
Till now
Everyone said that I would know
When she appears it's gonna show
And now you are here and from where I'm standing
You look like her
I have been waiting all my life
For someone to come and put things right
Never knew who she was
Never knew what she looked like
Till now
Everyone said that I would know
When she appears it's gonna show
And now you are here and from where I'm standing
i heard you're feeling kinda lonely
i heard that love has let you down
i know he left you for another
the word is spreading all around
but don't turn off the phone
don't sit there alone
like you're on a dead end street
just pay him no mind
and in record time
you're gonna be on your feet
come on girl, lift your head, don't be sad
it's gonna get better
he's not worth all the tears you have cried
it's gonna be fine
come on girl, lift your head, ain't so bad
it's gonna get better
cos life will turn around
maybe you feel like something's missing now
and you just don't know what to do
he never cared, he never listened
he wasn't good enough for you
if he's still on your mind
you're wasting your time
there are better things going on
so just get out of bed
and stare straight ahead
you're better off on your own
come on girl, lift your head, don't be sad
it's gonna get better
he's not worth all the tears you have cried
it's gonna be fine
come on girl, lift your head, ain't so bad
it's gonna get better
I never thought that I would be the one to say these words
I never thought that I would be the one to care
I never thought that I would be the one to say this hurts
I never thought that I would see myself right there
But now it's falling apart
I'm speaking right from the heart
Which I should have from the start
An unbelievable mess
I wouldn't be here unless
I believed there are things to confess
I have been felling so hollow
Can you fill the hole I have inside
And if you want I will follow
I'll keep going 'til I'm running blind
I'm sleeping with the lights on low
And Joni Mitchell on the radio
Somebody else I'm sure could find a way to work this out
Somebody else I'm sure could find a way to see
Somebody else I'm sure could find a way to let it out
Somebody else who wasn't as messed up as me
I hear your voice in my head
There's nothing left to be said
Now all the angels are dead
An unbelievable mess
I wouldn't be here unless
I believe there are things to confess
I have been felling so hollow
Can you fill the hole I have inside
And if you want I will follow
I'll keep going 'til I'm running blind
I'm sleeping with the lights on low
Baby it's been quiet here without you
Since our love split up and parted ways
I just watch the time pass by the hour
And the hazy nights turn into days
Guess you think that Im some kinda moron
Guess youve told your friends that Im a freak
Guess youve told them all about my secrets
Guess youve made them think that Im so weak
it's a shame about the weather
it's a shame about the crime
it's a shame about elvis
it's a shame about the times
it's a shame that the stories
You have heard of me are true
it's a damn shame but most of all
it's a shame Im losing you
Oh it's a damn shame about you
Baby does it ever make you wonder
How we ever came to get this far
Living in a time warp with a nosebleed
Nothing ever seemed to be too hard
Baby are you happy where you are now
Let me know cos I have no idea
You should know I love you til it kills me
But you're better off without old me
it's a shame about the weather
it's a shame about the crime
it's a shame about elvis
it's a shame about the times
it's a shame that the stories
You have heard of me are true
it's a damn shame but most of all
it's a shame Im losing you
Oh it's a damn shame about you
it's such a damn old shame
And here we go again
it's such a damn old shame
We got ourselves to blame
Hauling ourselves through pain
We got it going again
it's such a damn old shame
it's a shame about the weather
it's a shame about the crime
it's a shame about elvis
it's a shame about the times
it's a shame that the stories
You have heard of me are true
it's a damn shame but most of all
it's a shame Im losing you
Are you sad
Are you mad
That you gave me everything that you had
Every deed every seed every need
Like some black
Twist of fate
I've come back but it's too late
All I've said all I've seen all I've been
Been looking out for a saviour
Been around the world but baby
I want you
I want you
Are you sad
Are you mad
Is it better now you see what you had
What you need what you want what you are
Was I good
Was I bad
Was I better than the best you've had
I abide you can't hide look inside
It's getting dark fast and I'm freezing
Fooling you was oh so easy
I want you
I want you
Now I smell the flowers while I can
I try to be a better man
All this time to realize
That I don't need no alibies
I want you
Now I can say it
I'm happier than him, I'm happier than her
I'm happier than everybody else in the world
I'm happier across the board and I just don't like it
Well, I can feel the buzz spreading everywhere
No matter where I go, I feel it in the air
It's a warm and fuzzy feeling and I just don't like it
Doctor, doctor can you help me?
My system is all out of wack
Please can you get the old me back
The kind of me who's filled with bitterness
Towards everyone and everything in site
He was a mean old bastard and I want him back alright
I'm happier than him, I'm happier than her
So happy that I can't see straight, it's all a blur
I'm happier across the board and it makes me nervous
So let me have a pill or just a shot of booze
Because I've become so happy I'm about to blow a fuse
And I need to get my mood down to where I can stand it
Doctor, doctor can you help me?
My system is all out of wack
Please can you get the old me back
The kind of me who's filled with bitterness
With things that every colleague is a hack
He was a mean old fucker, but I kind of want him back
Doctor, doctor can you help me?
My head is sore, my knees are bad
And still I feel so fucking glad
I don't know how to make it through this bliss
Don't take away that monkey on my back
Come get me down and put me back on track
She understands the way you feel
She knows about the things you’re hiding
As long as she is there for you
You will know how to live
You hear footsteps on the floor
You see the world in better colours
And nothing tastes the same no more
Now that you know how to live
You’re happy to feel
Happy to stay
Happy to drive in to work every day
No one can break it, or take it away
Cos you have found your way
So this is where it’s taken you
So many years it took you to get there
And all the things you’ve had to do
Just to learn how to live
You’re happy to feel
Happy to stay
Happy to drive in to work every day
No one can break it, or take it away
Cos you have found your way
Cos she has saved you
And she has made you
Yeah she has been the one that you can lean on
No indecision
No blurry vision
And no one ever made you see so far
You’re happy to feel
Happy to stay
Happy to drive in to work every day
No one can break it, or take it away
Oh dear God is this a test
Or is this for real
People tell me I have been blessed
Is this how it feels
I found what I have looked for at last
Lost it all because of my past
I wonder who is there to be seen
When the light goes out for me
And everything's falling
Everything's falling apart
By the time this hits the fan
Then I will be be gone
I'm giving up on all that I am
To search for the dawn
I'll be doing all I can to stay warm
Tryin' to walk with grace through the storm
It's hard to take it all like a man
When I don't know who I am
And everything's falling
Everything's falling apart
Now the only thing that I really want
Is the only thing that cannot be bought
Can we make another try
I know that it doesn't matter really but
Tell me
Everything's falling
everybody says
you never loved me
everybody says
it's for the best
everybody says
you're no good for me
everybody says
to let it rest
everybody says i should be happy
everybody says i should be glad
that tick tock tick tock the rain is gonna dry up
and i won't feel quite so bad
everybody says
the game is over
everybody says
the prize is lost
everybody says
it's all for nothing
everybody says
that that's the cost
everybody says i should be happy
everybody says i should be glad
that tick tock tick tock the rain is gonna dry up
and i won't feel quite so bad
everybody says
i will forget you
everybody says
i will survive
everybody says i should be happy
everybody says i should be glad
that tick tock tick tock the rain is gonna dry up
and i won't feel quite so bad
I saw you standing in the shadow
of my doubt
Inside the heart of some old stranger
looking out
If God could see you
then you wouldn't cried for sure
Of all the ones that suffered,
no one suffered more
Can I read your mind?
Can I read your mind?
Baby, let me read your mind
Then baby you can read mine
And now you're lying in
the spider web I spin
You realize there is no way
for you to win
You're breathing shallow
with a dying love affair
Try and look and find
that no one's living there
Can I read your mind?
Can I read your mind?
Baby, let me read your mind
I have lied and I have listened
I've been tired and I've been christened
I don't wanna stay here anymore
I have taken all for granted
I have raved and I have ranted
Never asking why or what it's for
I've said too much
I've seen too much
I've lied too much
Been getting high too much
But I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tomorrow
So cross my heart
And hope to die
If I don't fall apart tonight
I'll be coming home
I'm coming home
Tomorrow
The road back home is long and winding
The heat is strong the light is blinding
Faces that I know from long ago
Buried in the surface clutter
I can hear them voices mutter
"Welcome home we knew you would return"
I've said too much
I've seen too much
I've lied too much
Been getting high too much
But I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tomorrow
So cross my heart
And hope to die
If I don't fall apart tonight
I'll be coming home
I'm coming home
Tomorrow
I have lied and I have listened
Kiss me now cos I've been christened
I have taken all for granted
I have raved and I have ranted
I don't want to fuss and fight
I just want a quiet life
There's nothing left to say
Nothing left to do
There's nowhere left to go
Right back home the trail is leading
My dick is limp my nose is bleeding
Back into the place where I was born
I've said too much
I've seen too much
I've lied too much
Been getting high too much
But I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tomorrow
So cross my heart
And hope to die
If I don't fall apart tonight
I'll be coming home
I'm coming home
Tomorrow
I have lied and I have listened
Kiss me now cos I've been christened
you don't believe in love as a concept
it's certainly not something that you need
your're better flying solo than in company
the last man of a slowly dying breed
but she's got you on the hook there, pistolero
you swallowed bait and line and sinker, too
you deny that you are smitten when the fact ist your've been bitten
by the bug of love, and badly, too
keep preaching to the world that you know the way it works
that you're too smart to get your feelings hurt
you can loathe it, you can hate it, but there's no way to debate it
that clearly you are falling in love
do you really think you can go back to start now
and make yourself forget the things you feel
that it's just a tiny hiccup of the heart now
you lay behind you, turning on the heel
it's too late for that now, pistolero
you played that card, it didn't go so well
so deny it 'till you're blue, keep on harpin' "it's not true"
but the only one believing you is you
your're preaching to the world that you know the way it works
that you're too smart to get your feelings hurt
but you're forever a romantic, fooling no one with your antics
'cos clearly you are falling in love
she is all you need
she is heaven sent
you should feel content
to just lay back and see
someone shower you with love
that you'll never let go of
you can say it isn't so, try to never let it show
you can curse your maker watching from above
but instead of trying to avoid it, just surrender and enjoy it
'cos clearly you are falling in love
yeah, you can loathe it, you can hate it, but ther's no way to debate it
that clearly you are falling in love
Friend, why don´t you come with me,
to where we used to be on our childhood fields of clover
Share some of those magic spells
and all those wishing wells
on our childhood fields of clover
We had no restraints
We could be the villains or the saints
So won´t you stop a little while
and share a childhood smile
for the dreams that now are over
Did they really age and die
Like a little butterfly
Left in childhood fields of clover
In the autumn chill, the modern times had their will
and our childhood days were over
But our childhood homes
Still shine like kodachromes
Where the ploughs have raped the clover
Only gold and money rule
´Dreams are just for fools, poetry will get you nowhere´
But we have a mine
Where all the yesterdays shine
For my dream is never over
So every passing day
Becomes a throwaway
Like our childhood fields of clover
The once bold and clearblue sky
Looks like it´s about to die
Who will hear the whistleblower
But in my heart I´m there
Even after all these years
By the time I get to heaven
I'll be singin' loud and clear
By the time I get to heaven
All my faith will reappear
If the road is full of strangers
And I find it hard to see
I'll be searching for my angel
Who will lead the way for me
(Ooooo....)
By the time I get to heaven
I'll no longer be a freak
I'll have to learned to say I'm sorry
And to think before I speak
By the time I get to heaven
Hope I've been among the best
By the time I get to heaven
I will lay my cross to rest
And should somebody bring me down
I'm gonna have you come around
I need your presence and protection
I'll ditch the dope and cut my hair
And rediscover savoire-faire
I'll be close to pure perfection
By the time I get to heaven
No more cursing no more lies
By the time I get to heaven
I'll be set for paradise
By the time (By the time)
I get to heaven (I get to heaven)
I'll have learned my lesson well
By the time (By the time)
I get to heaven (I get to heaven)
Boy the stories I will tell
By the time I get to heaven
I will know what makes a man
Yes by the time I get to heaven
That's when I will understand
By the time I get to heaven
I get to heaven
I'm gonna cry cry cry cry cry
When I get to heaven
When I get to heaven
When I'm gonna cry
Ooo yeah yeah
Cry cry cry cry
By the time (...)
By the time I'll be gettin' up to heaven...
When I get to heaven
When I get to heaven
When I'm gonna cry
Ooo yeah yeah cry cry cry cry
I was you and you were me
And you broke my heart so easily
Then you left a message on my radio
I sleep all day stay up all night
Hanging out 'til dawn to feel alright
Now that I am lost there's nothing left to lose
So I'm dancing in a coma
While I'm downing holy cola
I'm not happy acting this way
Take me back Sunday take me back black Sunday
Maybe things are different when I wake up Monday
How was I supposed to know
That I would have to let you go
Why wasn't I told
It's like everything is slipping away on a black Sunday.
I was you and you were me
And I thought you came to rescue me
But you left a message on my radio
I'm drunk by 7.20
And I sleep around a-plenty
I'm not happy acting this way
Take me back Sunday take me back black Sunday
Maybe things are different when I wake up Monday
How was I supposed to know
That I would have to let you go
Why wasn't I told
It's like everything is slipping away on a black Sunday.
It's darker than me
It's dark as can be
It's everything that I feel
It's hard to let go
Now I need to know
Where do I go from here?
Take me back Sunday take me back black Sunday
Maybe things are different when I wake up Monday
How was I supposed to know
That I would have to let you go
Why wasn't I told
