Anywhere but home
That’s where you’re going
It sucks to be alone
It’s safer not knowing
When everything feels wrong
You don’t know your left from right
When passion’s running strong
And you can’t see the light
B/ It’s cold out there alone
As you’re filling up your belly with doubt
You keep running home
Everytime we’ve, fallen out
Chorus:
You ain’t goin’ anywhere baby, You ain’t goin’ anywhere but home
You ain’t goin’ anywhere baby, You ain’t goin’ anywhere but home
Verse II
With me or without me
It doesn’t matter
Truth hurts like hell
There ain’t nobody sadder
B/ It’s cold out there alone
You won’t feel it til the bottle runs dry
Until your, blind and running home
Asking yourself, why...
Chorus
You ain’t goin’ anywhere baby, You ain’t goin’ anywhere but home
Song instead of a kiss
Baby this is a song instead of a kiss
For all of you who ache
Who long for nights like this
Song instead of a touch
Darlin', this is a song instead of a touch
To all of you who wait so long
And need so much
It is for those who like to cling
It is to those, to those I sing
Here is a song instead of a clutch
Instead of a moon
Instead of a soothing touch in the afternoon
It is for those who like to cling
It is to those, to those I sing
Here is a song instead of a clutch
Instead of a moon
Why is it so hard
To say what's on my mind
And why am I so proud
Still got this thing for you
I know you understand
But you still need a sign
Real love should shout out loud
Still got this thing for you
Hey baby can I carry your flame?
I wanna take you somewhere untamed
Don't you know you're driving me insane
Still got this thing for you
When you walk that way
I can feel the heat
Just below the surface
I'd do anything for you
When you're out all alone
I hear things from the street
And I get kinda nervous
Still got this thing for you
Hey baby, can I carry your flame?
I wanna take you somewhere untamed
Don't you know you're driving me insane
Still got this thing for you
Let me see you smile come on look me in the eye
Too many times I let the chances go by
Pull down the shade turn out the light
Help me make up for all those nights tonight
(Will I know it's true, still got this thing for you
Will I know it's true, still got this thing for you)
Hey baby, can I carry your flame?
I wanna take you somewhere untamed
Don't you know you're driving me insane
If we can't connect, oh that would be a shame
Well... Hey baby can I carry your flame?
I wanna take you somewhere untamed
Don't you know you're driving me insane
Still got this thing for you
(Still got this thing for you still got this thing for you)
Still got this thing for you
(still got this thing for you)
I do
(still got this thing for you)
I know
(still got this thing for you), you know I do, knock knock
(Still got this thing for you)
I get a thrill and I still got this thing for you
(Still got this thing for you still got this thing for you)
Oohoo (still got this thing for you still got this thing for you)
Still got this thing for you (still got this thing for you)
Hah (still got this thing for you)
Every man I meet is in a hurry to find a new romance
Always wanna leave the party early, maybe I'd like to dance
Slowly, if you really wanna know me, take it easy when you hold me
I might let go
Chorus:
Play it cool, straight and true, look me in the eye
If you want to (want to) talk to me
Take your time, don't be shy, tell me your name
If you want to (want to) walk with me
I'm the kind who waits for something special, instead of falling too fast
I believe the night is something precious, that's why I want it to last
So slowly, if you really wanna know me, take it easy when you hold me
Don't let me go
chorus
What are we gonna do, you look like you're something new
And I like the way you move
(Solo)
Don't let me go!
chorus
Little by little I let you know
If I want you (want to) to get close to me
(Na na na na, na na na na, na na - want to)
(Na na na na, na na na na, na na - want to) Only if you want to
(repeats out)
You're kinda cool, a little rough
You're skin and bones and you talk so tough
You take you're time and you like to make me wait
Just when I'm ready to accelerate
You wanna see me in the middle of the night
You hit the street, you're running every night
You wanna
Kick start
My heart
Kick start my heart
Kick start
My heart
Kick start my heart
You gettin' it goin'
You got the touch
Then you tell me that I want too much
You call me angel, say I'm a child
Then you hit me with that rebel smile
You wanna take me and you know I wanna go
I lose control so easily you know how to
Kick start
My heart
Kick start my heart
Kick start
My heart
Kick start my heart
Kick start my heart
Kick start my heart

My heart
Don't leave me at home too long, don't let me fall asleep unsung
Don't stay up with your damn T.V., somebody else might make love to me
Chorus:
Hurry, hurry, hurry make love to me
Hurry, hurry, hurry make love to me
I don't believe in lying low, I don't watch all that tall grass grow
Don't believe in darning socks, I just believe in love talks

Seit über zehn Jahren bietet die sexy Kanadierin verlässliche Musik für alle
Lebenslagen. Mit tiefer voller Stimme krabbelt sie den Hörern den Rücken herunter
und rechtfertigt ihren Aufstieg in die Topliga des Schmuserock. Geboren ist sie in
Toronto, wo sie auch die Hälfte ihrer Kindheit lebt. Den anderen Teil verbringt sie
in einer Kleinstadt in Ontario, wo ihre Eltern eine Ranch besitzen und Klein-Allanah
das Reiten lernt. Schon mit fünf Jahren weiß sie, dass sie Musikerin werden will.
Bereits mit zwölf beginnt sie, ihre eigenen Lieder zu schreiben, weil es ihr zu
umständlich ist, die Akkorde zu ihren Lieblingssongs zu besorgen. Mit 17 fängt sie
an, durch kanadische Clubs zu tingeln. Um das Geld für ihre erste eigene Gitarre
zusammen zu bekommen, verkauft sie ihr Pferd. Sie gründet eine Band, und endlich
erfüllt sich auch der Traum vom ersehnten Plattenvertrag. Mit "Black
Velvet" landet sie gleich zu Beginn ihrer Karriere ihren größten Hit. Das
selbstbetitelte Album wird mit Preisen überhäuft. Sie veröffentlicht Schlag auf
Schlag die Alben "Rockinghorse" und "A-Lan-Nah", ist ständig auf
Tour durch Europa und die USA. "Ich arbeitete bis ich fast tot umfiel", so
Allanah, "aber als ich am reichsten und berühmtesten war, war ich auch am
unglücklichsten. Ich hatte meinen Traum nur erfüllt, um eine neue Art von Leere zu
finden." Sie kehrt nach Toronto zurück, um sich selbst wieder zu finden. 1997
erscheint das Album "Arival", es folgt ein Best-Of-Album, das 2001 mit
zwei neuen Songs auf Grund der großen Nachfrage noch einmal aufgelegt wird.
2001 Myles & More - The Very Best Of1998 Very Best Of
1997 Arival1995 A-Lan-Nah1992 Rockinghorse1989 Alannah Myles
I wonder what would happen if I fell
Would you pick me up and be my wishing well?
If I shared my secrets, would you promise not to tell?
I wonder what would happen if I fell
I wonder what would happen if I smiled
Would you be the mystery in my eyes?
I'll consent to marry you if you never lie
And I wonder what would happen if I smiled
Looking for a sign in the eyes of love
Waiting for an answer from the stars above
Would you be my story when there's nothing left to tell?
I wonder what would happen if I fell
Would you be the rockinghorse I ride
If I showed no fear and held you like a child?
Running through the darkness till there's morning in the sky
Would you be the rockinghorse I ride?
Baby ride, oh ride, you can be my rockinghorse
What is love if you don’t have it
It ain’t enough when you have it
Things get rough when it’s a habit, what is love...
What is love if you can break it
What is love if you can’t make it
Falls apart when you forsake it, what is love...
Chorus
What is love, what is love,
If it takes so long to find
If it makes you lose your mind X 2
What is love.. Ha!.
What is love...
Verse
What is gain without the giving
I go insane without you, living
Is a shame if you can’t forgive me, then what is love...
What is love if you can break it
What is love if you can’t ,make it
Falls apart if you forsake it, what is love...
Chorus
What is love, what is love, if it takes so long to find
An’ if it makes you lose your mind what is love...
What is love, what is love, love ‘s a heart that never lies
When it opens your eyes...then it’s love...
Bridge
You cannot feed the hand that bites you, no, no,
If you bite the hand that feeds you baby
I’m the woman who needs you, take my hand, be my man...
Don’t ask me stupid questions, I don’t wanna hear you mention,
Chorus
What is love, what is love, if it takes so long
If it makes you lose your mind then what is love...
Oh, what is love, what is love, love is a heart that never lies
When it opens your eyes...
What is love, love, love, if it takes long to find
An’ if it makes you lose your mind what is love...oh
What is love, love, love, it’s a heart that never lies
When it opens your eyes
Long ago a little child
Dreamed about a gallant knight.
It's funny how the dream comes true.
That gallant knight was you.
I never try to show my feelings
Are you aware my heart is bleeding?
What are we waiting for?
What are we doin' here?
There's no one there beside you.
There's no one knocking at my door.
What are we waiting for?
Too much time has passed us by.
What are we waiting for?
No one else can love you more...than me
I've watched you for so many years.
I've heard you laugh
I've felt your tears.
I've seen your lovers come and go
But none of them were true.
Oh, can't you see..how much I need you?
Won't you believe I need you too?
So..
What are we waiting for?
What are we doin' here?
There's no one there beside you.
There's no one knocking at my door.
What are we waiting for?
Too much time has passed us by.
What are we waiting for?
No one else could love you more...than me.
Yours was the first star I followed.
Without you there's no tomorrow.
What are we waiting for?
What are we doin' here?
There's no one there beside you.
There's no one knocking at my door.
At my door..
What are we waiting for?
Too much time has passed us by.
What are we waiting for?
Everything happens for a reason
All our rivers run to the sea
Every last emotion has its season
Who knows which one brought you to me?
You struck me like a match
And I had to burn
You found a deeper part of me
What am I gonna do about the way that I feel?
How do I shake the weight of everything that I have been?
It's so hard to fall after all that's fallen through
What am I gonna do with you?
The whole world's hanging on this heartbeat
And the angle of your smile
I can only hold back for so long
Lemme know you for a while
Well, love is like a flood
And there ain't no end in sight
Coming from a deeper part of me
So what am I gonna do about the way that I feel?
How do I shake the weight of everything that I have been?
It's so hard to fall after all that's fallen through
What am I gonna do with you?
Oh, love is like a flood
And there ain't no end in sight
Coming from a deeper part of me
So what am I gonna do about the way that I feel?
How do I shake the weight of everything that I have been?
It's so hard to fall after all that's fallen through
What am I gonna do with you?
In the chilly moments of a lifetime gone astray
There's a look in your eyes that I just can't explain
All my angels surround me as I sleep
Protecting me from falling in too deep
I don't know what to make of you
So I'll make believe that you love me
I don't know what to believe is true
All I wanna do is make love...
Part of me is waiting for you
Part of me is free
I would show my world to you
If only you could see
Part of me is living inside you
Why have angels denied you
I don't know what to make of you
So I'll make believe that you love me
I don't know what to believe is true
All I wanna do is make love...
...To you, darlin' to you
Part of me is living inside you
Why have angels denied you
I don't know what to make of you
So I'll make believe that you love me
I don't know what to believe is true
All I wanna do is make love...
I don't know what to make of you
So I'll make believe that you love me
I don't know what to believe is true
All I wanna do is make love, Oh
I don't know what to make of you
I don't know what to believe is true, Oh
I don't know what to make of you
I don't know what to believe is true
The last time I saw William, he was as good as gone
He'd packed up all his poetry and his hurtin' songs
Well, they say that he died but the papers lied
About our long lost favorite song
The last time I saw William, he was all undone
He'd lost his bag of thunder and his brave disguise
He was trying to find some kind of peace of mind with brand new eyes
But it all came back in shades of black, like a past that's just begun
And the last time I saw William, he was a man on the run
Oh, he said it's better to fly than to hold on to shaky ground
It's better to let the feelings die, when they're holding you down
I saw a long line of loneliness in the corner of his eye
But I never did see William cry
Now the years run down the boulevard and the marquee is long gone
There's a troubadour in an empty bar, playin' hurtin' songs
All the gold and praise from the glory days cannot save our souls tonight
And the last time that I saw William
He was walking away, walking away from the light
It's better to fly than to hold on to shaky ground
It's better to let the feelings die, when they're holding you down
I saw a long line of loneliness in the corner of his eye
But I never did see William cry
A fever that makes you wanna shed your skin
A walking testament to original sin
Gotta good trick up your sleeve
Crocodile daydream, you wanna, you wanna believe
Strike a truce and stand at ease
You can choose to slam me to my knees
Cheap resistance in my way
I wanna become your Independence Day
Give me something for the shape I'm in
Southern comfort, oh
Again and again and again and again
Missionary if you please
I fell from grace and landed on my knees
Welcome to the great divide
Fallen angel stuck inside
All temptation justified
I'm a prisoner, baby, with no reprieve
The kind of chaos you can count on not to leave
Strike a truce and stand at ease
You can even slam me to my knees
Welcome to the great divide
Fallen angel stuck inside
All temptation
And if the money don't get ya, something will
And if the sex don't get ya, nothing will
The Bank of Karma won't loan
Your yin won't yang, the bed don't bang
And the springs don't sprang
Again and again and aah
Welcome to the great divide
Fallen angel stuck inside
All temptation justified
Welcome to the great divide, great divide
Great divide, great divide
Welcome to the great divide, great divide
Fallen angel stuck inside, stuck inside
Welcome to the great divide
Welcome to the great divide
Welcome to the great divide
Sonny say you will
Take me strolling with you out on the boardwalk
'Cause you know you always make me feel
Like we are lovers on parade with a sweet talk
You look so cool but I know that you care
The way you run your fingers through my hair
You make me feel like I'm a star on your sleeve
The way you hold me it's so wild and sweet
And Sonny say we will
Go walking down by the ocean
The night can get so still
And lovers they can get the notion
The street is crazy with the summer heat
Lost souls collide, try to land on their feet
You make me feel like I'm no ordinary girl
Why don't we walk out of this every day world?
And Sonny say we will
Spend the night all alone together
This is some kind of wonderful, ooh
Sonny let it last forever
But Sonny, say you will
Sonny, let it last forever and ever and ever
Sonny say you will, I know you will
Love will abide, take things in stride
Sounds like good advice but there's no one at my side
And time washes clean love's wounds unseen
That's what someone told me but I don't know what it means.
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time
Wait for the day
You'll go away
Knowing that you warned me of the price I'd have to pay
And life's full of flaws
Who knows the cause?
Living in the memory of a love that never was
Cause I've done everything I know to try and change your mind
and I think I'm gonna miss you for a long long time
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time.
Caught in my fears
Blinking back the tears
I can't say you hurt me when you never let me near
And I never drew one response from you
All the while you fell all over girls you never knew
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
When it comes to trouble
I don’t think twice
When it comes to trouble
I’ve paid the price
I ‘ve let my guard down
And I been caught
There ain’t a lesson baby
I ain’t been taught
Chorus:
Comon’ trouble
Ah hoo
I’m in trouble
Ah ooh, hoo, hoo hoo
I call 9, 1, 1, when I’m in a fix
When I need you baby I call 6, 6, 6,
I’m in trouble
VerseII
You might be the last
You sure ain’t the first
I could be the best for you baby
Or I could be the worst
If we let it slide
It’d be a crying shame
We got the same bad blood runnin’ through our veins
Chorus:
Tag:
Trouble, trouble ‘round the bend
Trouble, I’m gonna get in you
I ain’t lyin’ baby,
Ah ooh, hoo,hoo hoo,
Comon’ touble , damn that trouble
Comes to trouble, I need a fix,
I call 6, 6, 6, oh yeah, I’m in trouble again....
Chorus
I’m in the prime of my life, I feel like a kid
One of these days it’ll all catch up
But I’d rather fight than quit
In the , Prime of my life, something’s gotta give
Even if it kills, I won’t give up
Kill the kill joy... Live!
Verse I
There’s a big hole in my heart, where all the money used to be
If love’s a crime, I’ve done my time as far as I can see
I’d trade in all the bullshit, even if I lose...
For all the rock and roll I’ve lived I’ve drunk a case of blues
Chorus
I’m in the prime of my life, feel like a kid
One of these days it’ll all catch up
But I’d rather fight than quit
In the prime of my life, something’s gotta give
Even if it kills, I won’t give up
Kill the kill joy... Live!
(dehn’l alannah’l ana deh deh deh deh)
Verse II
Life gives us a choice, we can laugh or we can cry
I ‘ve been bending over backwards trying to walk a straight damn line
I was borne a child of light, but the devil’s been my friend
Ain’t nothin’ gonna stop this woman from busting this dead end!
Chorus
Bridge
What the hell’s so wrong with coming undone
It’s too late to stop what’s already begun
So what the hell’s so wrong with coming undone, Undone!
(dehn’l alannah’l ana deh deh deh deh)
Chorus
I’m in the prime of my life, feel like a kid
One of these days It’ll all catch up, But I’d rather fight than quit
I’m in the prime of my life, something’s gotta give
One of these days it’ll all catch up but I only got one life to live
I’m in the prime of my life, prime of my life, Prime of my life,
Feel like a kid, one of these days it’ll all catch up but I’d rather fight than quit
Prime of my life, something;s gotta give, even if it kills, I won’t give up,
Kill the kill joy, kill the kill joy,
Sally go round the roses
Sally go round the roses
The roses they can't hurt you
I know the roses they can't hurt you
Sally don't you go, don't you go downtown
Sally don't you go, don't you go downtown
The saddest thing in the whole wide world
Is to see your baby with another girl
Sally don't you go, don't you go downtown
4 bar solo
Sally go round the roses
Sally go round the roses
Sally go round the roses
Life leads the thoughtful woman
On a path of many findings
Finding her own companion
From a cast of many thousands
Well, for you my love, my melancholy love
Whoa, you pour like rain, pours like rain
Winged thoughts echo freely
In words as strong as diamonds
I may not be your lover
But I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Can't you take a walk with me
Down into the sea, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Mother nature, come on mother nature
Taste as sweet as wine, sweet as wine
Like Tahitian orchids baby
Mother nature's fine, ha
Woo, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mother nature tastes so fine
When two people love each other
Ain't no stoppin' mother nature
'Cause she tastes so fine
Like mama's wine
Oh, mother nature baby
Come on Tahitian orchids sweetly
Makin' love so fine
Mother nature, mother nature
Mother nature tastes so fine
For you my love, my melancholy love
Whoa, pours like mother nature, yeah, yeah
Aw, come on mother nature baby
Oh baby, tastes so fine
I'm gonna drink up all my wine
Ooh, mother nature tastes so fine
Whoa, for you my love, my melancholy love
Whoa, pours like mother nature [Incomprehensible], yeah
Come on mother nature baby
Whoa, [Incomprehensible]
Baby, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Mother nature tastes so fine
Sing it
Sing it
Sing it
Here... here in my heart, I can see the moon on the rise
Here in my heart, a symphony of angels in flight
And if I made you feel doubt
It was my heart beating too loud
Nothing could keep me away...
Chorus:
Only wings... Could make this heart soar any higher
Only wings... Could chase the moon across the sky
Only wings... Could make us brave enough to fall
Are you ready to risk it all ... For love...
Verse II:
Fear... is the only thing that lets us down
Where, are all the angels when we begin to drown
My heart is breaking inside
Like a part of me has died
It’s just a question of pride
When everything stands in your way...
Chorus: same
Bridge: Heaven knows how I adore you my love
But heaven knows that angels aren’t enough...
At any given moment
You could be gone
I swear, I need a weather vane
A sweeter warning
Of all the roles I've taken
There isn't anyone
That I wouldn't play
For another morning
Well, it ain't wrong, baby
'Cause it dares me to say
I belong here
It just is, that's all
While you were sleeping
There was a mutiny
Love became your enemy
I know, it ain't wrong, baby
But it dares me to say
You belong here
It just is, that's all
So, I'll break my code
Can you share the motherload?
Still so far to go
Can we share the motherload?
Oh motherload, oh mother, mother, motherload
Oh motherload, oh can we all, hear me all, motherload
Motherload, motherload, baby, baby
Oh, oh, oh, oh, can you share the motherload?
Aha, oh, oh, oh, oh, can you s-s-share the motherload?
So, I break my code
Can you share the motherload?
Still so far to go
Can you share the motherload?
So, I break my code
Can you share the motherload?
Am I on my own?
Or will you share the motherload?
Still so far to go
Can you share the motherload?
Some are confused between love and sex
For there is a difference... oh yeah
Sex satisfies lust, lust won’t change you
It just lies there.. yeah, yeah
You can pay someone for sex
You can’t pay no one to love you
If true love can be bought...
I could never be rich enough
Chorus
Ah... Leave it alone
Don’t bet that I’m ready to sell my soul
Ah... leave it alone...
Don’t mean that I’m willing to make it alone
Am I missing the point
Ah... leave it alone
Verse II
Some love to lie, don’t care with who
I think I’m indifferent... what about you...
Two halves are whole, no one is in control
Or more the wiser... yeah, yeah
Sex without love is lust
That’s where we get confused
In love you give yourself...
Lust is just, someone gettin’ used...
Chorus
Ah... Leave it alone...
Don’t bet that I’m ready to sekll my soul
Ah... Leave it alone...
Don”t mean that I’m willing to make it alone
Am I missing the point
Ah... Leave it alone...
Breakdown:
Make me a necklace of carnelian
Buy me some ribbons for my hair
I will change like a chameleon
If you show me that you care
Take a deep breath of this virtue
Remember who your princess is
Your smile will be the guardian
Of all my weaknesses
You are the keeper of my heart?
Will you be what time has not forgot?
When I have fallen from your grace
Will you be what time cannot erase?
Will you be the keeper, baby?
Will you hide the darkness deep?
Will you be the keeper of my heart?
And I rest my gaze upon this ocean
Buried deep inside your eyes
I'm a slave to my emotions
The innocence that lies
And when the winds of change have broken, baby
Every battle, every bough
Will your anger be unspoken
On the twilight of this vow?
You are the keeper of my heart?
Will you be what time has not forgot?
When I have fallen from your grace
Will you be what time cannot erase?
Will you be the keeper, baby?
Will you hide the darkness deep?
Will you be the keeper of my heart?
Will you be the keeper of my heart?
Will you be what time has not forgot?
When I have fallen from your grace
Will you be what time cannot erase?
Will you be the keeper, baby?
Will you hide the darkness deep?
Will you be the keeper of my heart?
Will you be the keeper of my heart?
Will you be what time has not forgot?
When I have fallen from your grace
Will you be what time cannot erase?
Will you be the keeper, baby?
Will you hide the darkness deep?
Will you be the keeper of my heart?
Will you be the keeper, baby?
Will you hide the darkness deep?
Lightning in a bottle
Fish in the stream
You in all your glory's
What I need
You got a gambler's grin
In the glow of the match
Hard as steel
And as soft as ash
Oh no...Tell me are you really like a sparrow in a hurrican
It's like lightning in a bottle
Fish on the line
Tell me a story
Read my mind
I don't want
Waste my time
Tell me will it be your world
Or will it be mine, mine, mine
Oh no...Tell me are you ready like a sparrow in a hurrican
Whoa no...Are you prepared for a walk in the naked rain
Chorus:
I would crawl, you know, you know I'd swim
I'd climb a mountain baby, I'd dive right in
Do the monkey, do the fly
Take a chance on comin' back for another life
One more time
Verse III:
It's like lightning in a bottle
Fish in a stream
You in all your glory's
What I need
Dogs are in the field
Moon floats on the lake
This is all too good
To be a big mistake
Chorus:
Solo:
Oh no...Tell me are you ready like a sparrow in a hurrican
Whoa no...Are you prepared for a walk in the naked rain

Do the monkey, do the fly
Take a chance on comin' back for another life

Uhuh...
Uhuh...
Try a little kindness baby
Show a little empathy
When my eyes are filled with blindness
Try a little sympathy with me
Careful of the things you say with me
If you wanna have your way with me
Whisper in my ear real low but,
Spare Me The Sorrow...
(Give me love and you’ll never be sorry, I’d rather be alone than lonely)
Spare Me The Sorrow...
{There’s a price to pay for freedom, I wanna know if you are for me}
Uhuh... Uhuh...
Give love and you’ll never be sorry
There’s a price to pay for freedom
I can smell the morning glory
Will it in your heart and your will be done with me
Careful of the time you spend with me
If you wanna learn to bend with me
You can have your way you know but,
Spare Me The Sorrow...
(Give me love and you’ll never be sorry, I’d rather be alone than lonely)
Spare Me The Sorrow...
{There’s a price to pay for freedom, I wanna know if you are for me}
O child, comon child, comon’ child,
Oh, oh child, comon’ child
Oh, oh, oh, comon’ child
Oh, oh, c’mon, comon’ child
Mmmmm...
I only wanna see you smile
Rather be alone than lonely
I’d rather be , I’d rather be alone than lonely
Ah... with you
(Give me love and you’ll never be sorry, I’d rather be alone than lonely)
Spare Me The Sorrow...
(Give me love and you’ll never be sorry, I’d rather be alone than lonely)
Spare Me The Sorrow...
{There’s a price to pay for freedom, I wanna know if you are for me}
Sweet breeze blowin' through a summer dress
Seen from a window above
Captured in the eyes of love
Shivers in the cool forbidden dawn
Where the iris and the jasmin run wild
She was young and he was a child
And he vanished like July
Some folks, they wondered why
But old money has its friends
Ain't it funny how the truth will bend
It's the family secret, don't pass it on
Daddy's angel 'til something went wrong
It's the family secret, just let it be
I know the secret of her mystery
Whispers, how they sound like raindrops
Hush, now we'll make it alright
She's framed by the front porch light
Suspicion, rising up like dragonflies
They say there's a story to tell
And it's buried in the family well
Now the congregation prays
Save us from our evil ways
But old money has its friends
Ain't it funny how the truth will bend
It's the family secret
It's the family secret, don't pass it on
Daddy's angel 'til something went wrong
It's the family secret, just let it be
I know the secret of her mystery
It's the family secret, yeah, yeah, family secret
It's the family secret, don't pass it on
Daddy's angel 'til something went wrong
It's the family secret, just let it be
I know the secret of her mystery
It's the family secret, don't pass it on
Daddy's angel 'til something went wrong
It's the family secret, just let it be
I know the secret of her mystery
Keep it in the family now
It's the family secret, ooh, ohh, family secret
Keep it in a, keep it in a family way
Whoa, keep it in a family, family secret
Sitting here on the horizon
Waiting for the moon to rise
Love has a way of arriving
Out of the clear blue sky
Ooo, I love you
Don't you know it's true
When you believe in something good
It always comes through
Always comes true
Last year was harder
Think I'll settle down for a while
And the peaks of the mountains are glowing
ANd the canyons echo your smile
Ooo I love you
Don't you know it's true?
When you believe in something good
It aways comes through
Always comes true
You are there to catch each tear
Every time I fail
How can I give back each year
Tell you I... I....
I believe
Ooo I love you
Don't you know it's true
When you believe in something good
It always comes through
ooo I love you
Don't you know it's true
When you believe in something good
It always comes through
Always comes true
Do you really wanna know me?
Do you care what's inside?
Can you ever really show me?
There's no secrets I must hide
If I bare my soul, can you accept it all?
My darkest corner's safe behind a wall
Do you really wanna know me at all?
I can't accept the pain
My brain screams like a runaway train
Trying to keep my heart on track
The embers turned to flame and I want you back
But I can't trust a memory
I can't trust a memory
No, I can't trust me
Do you really wanna know me?
Do you know what makes me smile?
Can you ever really promise me?
This time it's not a lie
I'll believe it's true
When you're standin' at my door
I'm always here for you
And I'll open it once more
Do you really wanna know me?
Do you really wanna know me at all?
Do you really wanna know me?
Do you really wanna know me at all?
Do you really wanna know me?
I catch a chill when I look into your eyes
Something too familiar, I seem to recognize
Like lookin' in the mirror, baby and I'm scared of what I see
Lookin' at you, baby is the dark side of me
Comin' from the same place, two of a kind
Brought up on the wrong side of a one track mind
Whenever we're together, baby, we're as bad as we can be
Lookin' at you, baby is the dark side of me
There's two sides to every story
But every shame there's a glory
And I've tried, and have I tried
To keep a balance between the dark and the light
Sometime the sum don't add up
When I'm with you, how can two wrong's feel so right
Feel so right
One way conversation between you and I
Ask all the right questions and need no reply
On all the wrong answers, baby, we always tend to agree
Lookin' at you, baby is the dark side of me, aha, yeah
Lookin' at, lookin' at you, baby is the dark side of me
The dark side of me
Lookin' at you, baby is the dark side of me
Dark side of me
There's a place on Starowka
Lots of people live there
Not supposed to, government says no
But they don't care
The sirens blare, apocalypse
Musicians still play on
They don't know who their god is now
They only know this song
(bridge)
In all of Warsaw's grandeur
In the eyes of the ancient soul
We call upon our ancestors to sanctify this hall
They do the dance
They do the dance of love
Into each other's arms they fall
They do the dance of love
We move into the light
We got to set our beings free
We scream our indiscretions
A glorious reprieve
Hold me in your last embrace
Escape the king of doom
Who will hold our hand through time
When the rose has lost it's bloom
(repeat bridge)
We do the dance, we do the dance of love
Into each other's arms we fall
We do the dance of love
Into each other's arms we fall
We do the dance of love
Hold me in your last embrace
Escape the king of doom
Who will hold our hand through time
Two lips pout
Too cold for kissing
Smoke pouring out
Fireplace is hissing
The perfect night
The ideal bride
Everything tried
Everything missing
We sat on the bed
It was dark
Everything , everything
Everything he said was dead on the mark
Everything was missing
I went down
For my midnight session
To find someone
To cure my obsession
He said, come on
Let me read your palm
Nights get long
In my profession
We sat on the bed
And it was totally dark
But everything he said was dead on the mark
Everything he said was missing
No complaints
Long black train
To ride you blind
To the end of the line
And there I might find
It seems we're headed for a total breakdown
It keeps on getting harder to connect
If this is not a war between the sexes
Well then some kind of hex is in effect
The ones we used to call the happy couple
Have given up on romance altogether
How that perfect one could come undone
Looks like love's in for a run of nasty weather
Lines are down, streets are redded
Pipes cracked, apartments gutted
The tough are gettin' goin', 'cause the goin's gettin' tough
Everybody's breakin' up
Verse:
It seems we've come upon some kind of impasse
An ending to this fractured fairy tale
What once upon a time were little home sweet homes
Are now just houses up for sale
Streets ahush, a grim reminder
No lovers laughter, no organ grinder
He's out of work, the monkey run off with the cup
Seems like everybody's breakin' up
Seven year itch, or mid-life crisis
We're comin' unhitched, goin' back to old vices
The tough are gettin' goin' cause the goin's gettin' tough
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
Every word of every song that he sang was for you
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could
You do?
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
You think you know all about me
'Cause you spent the night, ha, yeah right, not quite
You think you're the one to tame me
I'm your mothers worse nightmare
An out of control freak, just wait and see
I'm bad for you, I'll hurt your pride
I'll put a whole in your heart, ten foot wide
I make you feel like you wanna die
Even I'd run from me if I could
I'm bad for you and that's good
I'm a killer with a conscience
So, I'm warning you watch what you do
Think before you try my patience
I'm an emotional time bomb
A virtual melt down, yes, it's true
I'm bad for you, I'll hurt your pride
I'll put a whole in your heart, ten foot wide
I make you feel like you wanna die
Even I'd run from me if I could
I'm bad for you, I'm bad for you and that's good
You know I got a good side too
And I could do some good for you
But I'm bad for you, I'll skin your hide
What your left with, you won't recognize
If you run away now, you'd be wise
Even I'd run from me if I could
I'm bad for you, I'll hurt your pride
I'll put a whole in your heart, ten foot wide
I make you feel like you wanna die
Even I'd run from me if I could
I'm bad for you, I'm bad for you
I'm bad for you, I'm bad for you
Break the silence
[Inaudible]
Can you hear me cry
Across the great divide?
Do you hear me callin'
Or are my tears just fallin'?
In an ocean of regret
Words left unsaid
I wish that I could hold you
I wish that I could have that chance again
But when I close my eyes
I can see you there
Reachin' out your hand to me
And I follow you through every dream
How I miss you, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you
Somehow over mountains
Somehow overseas
Love will break the silence
And bring you back to me
Love will bring you back to me
Somehow break the silence
Give me wings to fly
Across the great divide
I'm tryin' to see tomorrow
I wish that I could borrow
Just a glimpse of what will be
Just to hear you speak
These nights are getting longer
My love for you is growing stronger
As long as there is hope
I will send a prayer
As far as the winds will blow
And I hope somehow you will know
How I miss you, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you
Somehow over mountains
Somehow overseas
Love will break the silence
And bring you back to me
Somehow there's an answer
Somehow I believe
Love will break, love will break the silence
Love will break, love will break the silence
Love will break, love will break the silence
Love will break, love will break the silence
And when I close my eyes
I can see you
Reachin' out your hand to me
I hope somehow you will see
How I miss you, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you
Somehow over mountains
Somehow overseas
Love will break the silence
And bring you back to me
Somehow there's an answer
Somehow I believe
Love will break the silence
Love will bring you back to me
Somehow over mountains
Somehow overseas
Love will break the silence
And bring you back to me
Somehow there's an answer
Somehow I believe
Love will break the silence
Love will bring you back to me
Somehow over mountains
Somehow overseas
can leave you like that
just walk out the door
and never come back
can stay all my life
with you by my side
I might call it always
ask you to change
to be someone else
one that I dream of
can hope that in time
both my love wait at the end of the day loving you love
the waves turns storm of the ocean
the skys grow dark with rain
we will see it through clear water
if each of us
if each of us
gives just a little more
can say that we were through and just stay away
and find someone new
all my words would be lies
we both of us know what's true
at the end of the day love cooh love
the waves turn the storm of the ocean
the skys grow dark with rain
we will see it through clear water
if each of us
if each of us
can gives just a little more.oo.just a little more.oh yeah yeah
we will see it through clear water
if each of us
if each of us
can gives just a little more...
ooh ooh ooh
Why do I feel like I'm losing you?
Will it ever become what I've always wanted it to?
You tell me I'm the lucky one, how can you say that?
When it breaks my heart to see another woman with you
Oh lover of mine, oh lover of mine
When it hurts so bad, I wanna hold you in my arms
Make me feel like you wanna be a lover of mine
After we've said all there is to say
Am I still in your heart or am I just in your way?
My desire for you is running wild, jealousy, dangerous kind
When I see you looking at another woman that way
Oh lover of mine, oh lover of mine
When it hurts so bad, I wanna hold you in my arms
Make me feel like you wanna be a lover of mine
Please set me free or give me a reason
For trying to keep it alive
There is no need for us to be lonely
Give me some kind of hope, I'm walking a fine line
Oh lover of mine, oh lover of mine
When it hurts so bad, I wanna hold you in my arms
Make me feel like you wanna be a lover of mine
Make me feel like you wanna be a lover of mine
Hopelessly watching and waiting
To see if my lover has turned to walk away
Opening slowly I sit by the water, I'm broken
There's nothing left to say
Red, red roses, all but one yellow bud
The gentle thud of unrequited love
Am I protected by this thorn in my heart?
What must I have been thinking of?
The rose of recognition
Or the yellow rose of unrequited love
Here in the aftermath, hopes crashed asunder
I wonder, can I camouflage my sadness?
Begging forgiveness, I don't understand love
How could I not notice my madness?
Red, red roses, all but one yellow bud
The yellow rose of unrequited love
Am I protected by this thorn in my heart?
What must I have been thinking of?
The rose of recognition
Or the yellow rose of unrequited love
Holding my head up to fight off their glances
I shifted and picked up my coat and my glasses
Boldly I stood up to everyone's weakness
I've lifted my spirits but still I am sleepless
Red, red roses, all but one yellow bud
The yellow rose of unrequited love
Am I protected by this thorn in my heart?
What must I have been thinking of?
The rose of recognition
Or the yellow rose of unrequited love
I send a message to you, I close my eyes and hope it gets through
It's in the language of love, it's in your touch, there in your mouth
I wonder if you hear me tonight, sometimes you're so far away
I wanna have you near me tonight, do you belong to me
Chorus:
Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, whatcha gonna do about it
Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, whatcha gonna do about it now
So tired, I can't fall asleep, I close my eyes and breathe in the heat
I've got this passion for you, like inspiration out of the blue
I wonder if you hear me tonight, sometimes you're so far away
I wanna have you near me tonight, do you belong to me
chorus
(Solo)
Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, whatcha gonna do about it
(repeats 2x)
chorus
Whatcha gonna do about it now
I send a message to you, I close my eyes and hope it gets through
Just a stray little Gypsy boy,
Trying on the highway for size
A cowboy kid cracking 105
Crossing the New Mexico line
I believe we got a live one here
No inhibitions no fear
Hey you wanna play your hand
Or are you just playing for the girls in the grandstand
Don't you wanna roll them bones
Are you a tumbleweed or a rolling stone
Tag along with my little vagabond
As long as you got something to burn
We'll slide on over to old Antone's
There's a little game I think you should learn
There's a big shot of the owner hanging over the bar
Shaking hands with some rock and roll star
Hey you wanna play your hand
Or are you just playing for the girls in the grandstand
Don't you wanna roll them bones
Are you a tumbleweed or a rolling stone
Well I'm glad I let you find me boy
I been waiting for you
Won't you be my brand new pride and joy
I've been savin' up all my good luck until tonight
On a roll he was on top of the world
Till he laid it all on seven and nine
Lost his shirt and his keys to the highway
Looks like I'll be driving tonight
Ten to one we'll take the long way home
We've got ignition, so let's go
Hey you wanna play your hand
Or are you just playing for the girls in the grandstand
Don't you wanna roll them bones
Captured by a renaissance dream
Tongue tied and twisted in the deep
Haunted by a renegade parading in my sleep
Stalked like a criminal in the open keep
I ain't never been arrested for walking in my sleep
J-Walkin' in the heavens, pay the fine for what you reap
And what you reap
It's alright, baby, it's okay, honey
It ain't nothing, nothing but a simple man's dream
It's alright, baby, it's alright, honey
Fashion your religion to a simple man's dream, yeah
Simple man's dream
Sweet taste of victory in a Hitler's stance
Crime pays if it's with the Devil you dance
Grim Reaper, Soul raper, Heartbreaker, my friend
This is an enemy invasion, thank God I'm alive to see the end
A simple man's dream
It's alright, baby, it's alright, darling
It ain't nothing, nothing but a simple man's dream
It's alright, baby, it's alright, honey
It ain't nothing, nothing but a simple man's dream
It's alright, baby, it's alright, darling
It ain't nothing, nothing but a simple man's dream
It's alright, baby, it's alright, honey
Fashion your religion to a simple man's dream
It's alright, baby, it's okay, honey
It ain't nothing, nothing but a simple man's dream
It's okay, baby, it's alright, honey
Fashion your religion to a simple man's dream
It's alright, baby, it's okay, honey
Fashion your religion to a simple man's dream, yeah
It's alright, baby, it's alright, darling
It ain't nothing, nothing but a simple man's dream
It's alright, baby, it's alright, honey
It ain't nothing, nothing but a simple man's dream
He was Johnny on the spot, he was red hot
Walked slow and smoked a lot
She was a Jukebox Junkie, hand on one hip
Great big eyes and bright red lips
I said hey, yeah-hey-hey
They eased on out to the centre of the floor
They started dancing like never before
She's spinnin' like crazy, crashing into the crowd
On top of two tables, screaming right out loud
I wanna rock this joint (rock this joint)
I wanna take this town
'Cos I light up when the sun goes down
I wanna rock this joint (rock this joint)
I wanna shake this place
'Cos I wanna die with a smile on my face
I said hey, yeah-hey-hey
I said hey, yeah-hey-hey
The whole damn place spilled into the street
Climbing on cars, high on this heat
Up on the roof, Johnny jived with his date
Cops came by, it was far too late
I said hey, a-hey
When Johnny came to, his head was a mess
Woke up, dreamin' 'bout a skin-tight dress
He found a message at the end of his bed
But the words he can't get right out of his head
I wanna rock this joint (rock this joint)
I wanna take this town
'Cos I light up when the sun goes down
I wanna rock this joint (rock this joint)
I wanna shake this place
'Cos I wanna die with a smile on my face
I said hey, yeah-hey-hey
I said hey, yeah-hey-hey
(Solo)
I wanna rock this joint (rock this joint)
I wanna take this town (take this town)
I wanna rock this joint (rock this joint)
I wanna shake this place (shake this place)
'Cos I light up when the sun goes down
'Cos I wanna die with a smile on my face
I said hey, hey-hey-hey
Little tramp comin' up the strip
With a hundred dollar smile
Sparks flyin' off her fingertips
Drive the young cop wild
Some nights are wound so tight
Like a storm about to break
Better stand in your doorway
When everything starts to shake
You get restless
Like a cat waking up at midnight
Hungry
Never quite satisfied
This is our world and these are our times
This is our world and these are our times
Little brother like a street god
With a drop dead attitude
Say he's looking like a shadow now
Runnin' low on green and food
Some lives are wound up tight
Like a wave about to crash
Hard times seem to multiply
While the joy runs out so fast
You get restless
Like a kid crawling out of a bad dream
Hungry
Never quite satisfied
This is our world and these are our times
This is our world and these are our times
This is our world and these are our times
This is our world and these are our times
Make way for the son of a rebel
Wired to a bottle of flame
He's got two black eyes and a purple heart
And a bone hangin' on a chain
These times are like dynamite
A head-on with history
Some fool's bound to burn it all down
Don't care about you and me
He'll get desperate
Like a child in the eye of a nightmare
Hungry
Never quite satisfied
This is our world and these are our times
This is our world and these are our times
This is our world and these are our times
This is our world and these are our times
Our world
Our world, our times, our world our times
Our world, our times, our world our times
Standing in the red light of a bourbon street French quarter
Where I met a Spanish porter who obliged me with his grin
He asked me for my time, I said, "I'd take a glass of wine"
And in my altered state of mind I opened up, he jumped right in
Oh, some things never turn out right
Oh, some things never turn out right
Mister, Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie
Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie
Well, he kissed me in the lobby on the way to Pat O'Briens
No, it didn't take much science to discover what was next
When suddenly a woman with a shrunken-headed necklace
She made me feel so reckless, sexless in my innocence
Oh, some things never turn out right
She led me to the levy, I was helpless as a lamb
"Don't you know who I am," she said, "Your Nemesis is free"
I was wired like a weapon, I was dancin' like the Dirvish
When I woke up feverishly looking down at me
Mister, Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie
Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie
Mistress, [Incomprehensible]
Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie
From the coveted Ark, to Noah in Asia
Sodom and Gomorrah, the light and the dark
Chased by the demon to the caves of the Burren
Imprisoned by the truth in the tales of the Turrin
From original sin to original blame, for shame, for shame
Oh, some things never turn out right
Oh, some things never turn out right
Mister, Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie
Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie
Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie
Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie
[Incomprehensible] 3:33
Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie
Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie
Mistress
[Incomprehensible] 3:55
Mister, Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie
Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie
Mistress, [Incomprehensible]
Mister, Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie
[Incomprehensible]
Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie
Nothin' in your pocket, something up your sleeve
You look right up my alley, coming down my street
The gun goes off at midnight, whistle blows at dawn
Give me half the morning and we'll carry on
Straight from your hip, make a backbone slip
Right in front of my eyes like a sweet surprise - hey hey hey-yeah
Chorus:
Bet you're gonna find a little foolin' on your mind
Soon you're gonna feel a little tuggin' on your line
Bet you're gonna be a little nervous boy
Run for cover and jump for joy
You make me happy without even trying, you make me happy every time, oh yeah
Gotta roll with the punch, stagger with the kiss
Follow what you feel on a night like this
Gotta raise up your flag, holler in the street
Someone's throwing roses all around your feet
Straight from your lips, you're gonna let it slip
It's there in your eyes so don't apologize - hey hey hey-yeah
chorus
You make me happy without even trying, you make me happy every time, oh yeah
(Solo)
Hey hey hey-yeah
Bet you're gonna find a little foolin' on your mind
Soon you're gonna feel a little tuggin' on your line
Bet you're gonna be a little nervous boy, oh
You make me happy every time, you make me happy without even trying
You make me happy every time, oh yeah...
LOVE IS
Hard to get
Impossible to hold
Straight and narrow
Like a burning fuse
In a long cold dawn
By the side of the road
A hopeless case
A perfect thing
Love is ( love is )
What you want it to be
Love is ( love is )
Heaven to the lonely
Show me
What you want me to do
Cause love is
What I got for you
I close my eyes
Search the stars
Call for help
Wake up cold
You're in my system
Under my skin
Raw emotion
Please don't go
Love is ( love is )
What you want it to be
Love is ( love is )
Heaven to the lonely
Show me
What you want me to do
Cause love is
What I got for you
Can't live on promises
Won't sleep at night
Don't understand the things you say
Till I read them in your eyes
Got to run on instinct
Got to go by feel
Got to trust my senses
Know it is for real
Can't live on promises
Won't sleep at night
Don't understand the things you say
Till I read them in your eyes
Got to run on instinct
Got to go by feel
Got to trust my senses
Love is ( love is )
What you want it to be
Love is ( love is )
Heaven to the lonely
Show me
What you want me to do
Cause love is
What I got for you
Love is ( love is )
Love is ( love is )
Show me
This is the place where nobody comes from
Perfect strangers in this desert town
Just out of flame and looking for favours
Hungry players when the deals go down
You get a hollow heart from shallow breathing
And a see-through smile like the ones on T.V.
This is the land of thrills and money where you
Hit the edge and you drift out to sea
It seems so real, looks so good
But you'd give it all up and you'd start again if you thought you could
And it sounds so sweet, feels so right
But it leaves you cold in the middle of the night
Step right up, lay your money down
If you're looking to buy love in the big town
Lift you up, tear you down
Leave you begging for more love in the big town
Down in the street with the waiters and mystics
When you got faith in nothing, you just fantasize
You look for a flame but you'd fall for a flicker
In those angel faces and those cowboy eyes
They seem so real and they look so good
And with a bit of persuasion you really believe you know you could
Tastes so sweet, feels so right
But it leaves you cold in the heart of the night
Chorus:
Step right up, (lay your) money down
If you're looking to find love in the big town
Lift you up, tear you down
They'll leave you begging for more love in the big town
Oh you learn to use all your desperation
Till it works its way into your soul
Then you find out that you slowly lose control
chorus repeats 2x...
The street light crawls into a bare bulb hotel
Where dead eyes shine there's a story to tell
It's a life of crime on a bed of stone
When the devil calls you're better off alone, ah
And now I'm hiding from the light
Running from my destiny
Haunted by a flame
Lying low, livin' on a memory
The bugs still bite and the breezes blow
Between your dreams right through your clothes
Days roll by like cars on a train
And the August sky still looks like rain, ah
And now I'm hiding from the light
Running from my destiny
Haunted by a flame
Lying low, livin' on a memory
Haunted by a dream
Can't escape this reverie
Trying to break away
Lying low, livin' on a memory
I'll be walking behind you, I'm a face on the wind
I'll be watchin', still payin' for my sins
I'm drifting down, river so slow
The lights of town are beginning to glow
And I'm hiding from the light
Running from my destiny
Haunted by a flame
Lying low, livin' on a memory
Haunted by a dream
Can't escape from this reverie
Trying to break away
Lying low, livin' on a memory
[Incomprehensible][Incomprehensible]
Let me break away
Set me free
You're playin' with my thunder, heavens knows I sometimes wonder who you are
You're so sweet but on the street, who do you meet when we're apart
I see trouble rollin' off you like rain
But I look up and I see lightning again
Chorus:
Between the lies and rumours, there's a world of mystery
But I believe in you, do you believe in me
I fell in love with danger, now I'm going through all these changes by myself
You're too cool to play by the rules, but I can't fool with someone else
People saying things I don't wanna hear
But something tells me we've got nothing to fear
chorus
Too many heartaches, too little love, so many reasons for breaking us up
We've got something nobody knows, we got it good, you know I can't let it go
(Solo)
With all the lies and rumours, sometimes you gotta roll the dice
But I believe in you, and your cool blue eyes, baby
chorus...
Outside someone is cryin'
Ever since the world began
Someone's cheatin', someone's lyin'
Finally I understand
Kisses are weapons, so beautiful and sharp
Kisses are weapons, weapons of the heart
Kisses are weapons, ah, weapons of the heart
Outside someone is cryin'
Thought he had a heart of stone
And I'm out here in the dark
And I'm sighin' and you're out there all alone
Ah, kisses are weapons, weapons if we choose
Kisses are weapons whether we win or we lose
And oh, my love, my love, my enemy
Do you wanna take me in your arms tonight?
Do you wanna make love to me or do you wanna fight?
There are voices far beyond us
Their secret's ours to share
I can hear them lyin'
Broken on a battlefield
Kisses are weapons, so beautiful and sharp
Kisses are weapons, weapons of the heart
Ah, kisses are weapons, weapons if we choose
Kisses are weapons whether we win or we lose
And oh, my love, my love, my enemy
Do you wanna take me in your arms?
Do you wanna make love to me or do you wanna fight?
Oh yeah, do you wanna fight?
Kisses are weapons, so beautiful and sharp
Kisses are weapons, weapons of the heart
Ah, kisses are weapons, weapons if we choose
Kisses are weapons whether we win or we lose
And oh, my love, my love, my enemy
I've heard there's always one that's got to get away
Let him go, even though it's not that easy
I never listen to what the people say
I lose control, I let desire lead me
My conscience aches but it's gonna lose the fight
I don't care, I'd give it all away tonight
For just one kiss, for just one kiss, for just one kiss, for just one
Of these fantasies I kept inside till now
Lead me on, I will follow gladly
Please don't be mad at me because I let it show
Is it so wrong to want you this badly
You got the power that I know I can't resist
My heart is pounding and I'm bound to take the risk
For just one kiss, for just one kiss, for just one kiss, for just one kiss
What if we lose tonight, we'll never know
Should we give love a try or let it go
I can't help what I do, the closer and closer I get to you
(Solo)
My conscience aches but it's gonna lose the fight
I don't care, I'd give it all away tonight
For just one kiss, for just one kiss, for just one kiss, for just one kiss
Just one kiss (repeats out...)
I wore out my welcome as the days grew thin
In this Belfast town
It's like I've been waitin' 'til my life begins
Love comes around
I wander through the streets
And I see them look away
The wind hits my bones as they whisper your name
I go out walking in the cold Irish rain
Fed up with the landlord comin' down my door
With his poison gaze
I've stared out his window and I've walked the floor
Of this sorry place
I'll take comfort in the cold
Until I find my faith again
Oh God knows I've tried but I just can't fit in
I go out walking in the cold Irish rain
What I'd give to see the sun on your face
To lose myself, in a long embrace
I'd love to hear the band start to play
As you turn me around, oh I long for the day
The last of the ramblin' boys has lost his way
In these broken times
They sold off your story and they stole your rage
With this heart of mine
They pulled you from your sleep
And they covered up your name
Now on Sundays they pray to see you again
I go out walking in the cold Irish rain
I go out walking in the cold Irish rain
Oh, did I strike the chord of honesty in you?
Did I strike it hard enough?
A bout of lust between true love
My heart it cries with every lie
Did I strike the chord of honesty in you?
In the vane of my submission
I dreaded everything
What lucky fate lies waiting
For this troubadour of mercy, tell me
Oh, did I strike the chord of honesty in you?
Did I strike it hard enough?
A bout of lust between true love
My heart it cries with every lie
Did I strike the chord of honesty in you?
Did I, baby?
Did Cupid pluck my strings with fingers?
Strumming through my heart like thunder
Maybe if you knew
I bet you'd write this song for me
Oh, would you strike it gently?
Oh, would you strike it mighty?
My heart it cries with every lie
Did I strike the chord of honesty in you?
Baby
Oh, is this life or a test of endurance?
I'm durable but am I able, am I wanting?
Do I need to strike this chord in you?
Do I need to see the truth?
Oh, did I strike the chord of honesty in you?
Did I strike it hard enough?
A bout of lust between true love
My heart it cries with every lie, oh
Did I strike the chord of honesty in you?
Did I strike it hard enough?
A bout of lust between true love
My heart it cries with every lie
Esther walks the hall, carrying a candle
Listens at the wall, for a sign of life
Closing her eyes as the room fades away
Counting the chimes in the church of our saviour ringing out
To faces in the crowd
Simon drives this town, works a graveyard Sunday
Esther flags him down, doesn’t speak a word
He hums to himself as the streets disappear
He catches himself looking back in the mirror filled with doubt
Two faces in the crowd
Chorus:
On the ferry from Dover to Calais
Arm in arm on a windswept day
I’ve got a photo of them sailing away
Mother’s so pretty, father’s so proud...
Verse III:
I stop to count the chimes, an orphan in the shadows
So little left behind, so much I’ll never know
A list in 'The Times' of the lives lost at sea
An old photograph and a past that seems so like
Chorus:
On the ferry from Dover to Calais
Arm in arm on a windswept day
I’ve got a phot of them sailing away
Mother’s so pretty, father’s so proud...
Solo:
Esther walks the hall, carrying a candle
Watch out for rescue
I should have known
When I was in danger
At least I was on my own
Watch out for rescue
Don't wanna be saved
Won't be your mama
Won't be your slave
I was doing okay
Livin' in danger, livin' alone
At home with a stranger
Nobody's master bater
Nobody's slave, the final rescue
Don't wanna be chained, ah
Don't wanna be seen that way, ah, ah
Watch out for heroes
Lookin' for deeds
Beware of crusaders needin'
Meetin' your needs
Watch out for fixers
That are not even broke
They save you with chains
And with wedding rings
And now I'm home
At home with a stranger
Nobody's master bater
Nobody's slave, the final rescue
Don't wanna be chained, ah
Don't wanna be seen that way, ah
Don't wanna be changed, ah
Watch out for rescuers
Comin' in my door
Beware of saviors
I've been here before
Oh, they come in Camaros
To save your skin
Well, they save you from danger
You're not even in
Watch out for heroes
Lookin' for a deed
Beware of crusaders
Meetin' your need
Watch out for fixers
When you're not even broke
Don't wanna be chained, ah
Don't wanna be seen that way, ah
Don't wanna be changed, ah
Blow wind blow all my worries
Away from me
Blow wind blow a little heaven my way
Blow wind blow a little heaven my way
Day goes down
Upon this dirty little town
You gotta find another lonely soul
To share the night
So may you never end
All my sweet and ragged friends
Won't you raise your glass, your voice
And your will to fight
'Cause your life belongs to you
Love's unkind
It'll make your heart unwind
You gotta send message
To yourself to carry on
Burnt out and broke
Another romance in smoke
You better love a little bit of
Something that'll make you strong
Here's a song to see you through
Yes a song will see you through
Blow wind blow all my worries
Away from me
Blow wind blow little heaven my way
Blow wind blow all my worries
Away from me
Blow wind blow little heaven my way
Life comes true
In spite of everything we do
You gotta, learn to love
When the joke is played on you
The great unknown
Will make you shiver to the bone
You wanna close your eyes
And pretend you're not alone
Here's a song to sing you home
Yes a song will sing you home
Blow wind blow all my worries
Away from me
Blow wind blow a little heaven my way
Blow wind blow all my worries
Away from me
Blow wind blow a little heaven my way
Blow wind blow all my worries
Away from me
Blow wind blow a little heaven my way
Blow wind blow all my worries
Away from me
Blow wind blow a little heaven my way
Blow wind blow all my worries
Away from me
Blow wind blow a little heaven my way
Blow wind blow all my worries
Away from me
Blow wind blow a little heaven my way
Blow wind blow all my worries
