Everything I touch it falls apart
And I am left with nothing
Everything I touch it turns to total garbage and I can't win
And I don't know why
And now I'm messing with the ritual
And now I'm messing with the ritual
And now I'm messing with the ritual
And now I'm messing with the ritual
Everything I touch it falls apart
And I am left with nothing
Everything I touch it turns to total garbage and I can't win
I want to plead
I'm watching everything
I aims to pleaaaaaaaaase
And I don't know why
Messing with the bits
Messing with the rest
Messing with the bet you are messing with bitch
Oh now, messing with the ritual
Messing with it
Oh now, messing with the ritual
Messing with bitch
Oh now, messing with the ritual
Messing with bitch
(Berenyi)
Once upon a time I knew how to make you happy or make you blue
Guess I'll be the same again, but it's not that easy to just be a friend
Look at where we are today with our pointless efforts to lay the blame
Maybe things can never work after so much betrayal and so much hurt
We're in the same position but a million miles apart
Maybe things will work eventually, but I just don't know where to start
When love has gone away
Something takes it's place
Does it really have to be hate?
So, what's it gonna be?
It's up to you and me
I just hope it isn't too late
Things you say to me, to love and hate you. (???)
For all the pain, all it does is get us nowhere
Yes, maybe in the end, we can be good friends want to but it isn't easy
Woah! (7x)
So, love has been and gone, how do we go on?
Is there something still worth saving?
Well, what's it gonna be, we can wait and see
Tell me, do you think we'll make it?
Let's stop the silly games, dishing out the blame
I know that we feel the same way
This doesn't have to be such a tragedy
Everything will work out some day
Well, maybe in the end, we can just be friends, I want to but it isn't easy
Yes, maybe in the end, we will be good friends, this is how it really should be
A silly girl, I run around
And never know my reasons
And though you're laughing with me
I know what you say about me
I can't explain
It's not your business anyway
So don't say you understand
And don't pretend you're on my side
And I remember when you hated her
For sleeping next to him
I see your smiling face
But I know you've done worse to me
You hypocrite, don't talk to me
'Cause you're not fit to know me
So don't pretend
That you could've ever been a friend
And still I'm sure you think, it's okay
What you've done to me 'cause I'm so bad to him
Don't even try to hide behind that stupid lie
I know your kind and I know where your loyalties lie
The silly girls, we run around
And never know our reasons
And though I understand, I guess
I'll say that you betrayed me
I'm a hypocrite
I dish it out but I can't take it
I know you think it's wrong
And maybe you're right but this is my song
And still I'm sure you think, it's okay
What she did to me 'cause I'm so bad to him
Don't even try to hide behind that stupid smile
(Berenyi)
I look out the window and I wonder at it all
Starin' at the symbols that decorate the wall
And everybody's callin' to come and join them all
And I can't go with no one 'til I understand the call
Don't come 'round for me unless you got what I...
Don't come 'round for me unless you got what I...
Don't come 'round for me unless you got what I want
My electronic shaver won't plug into the wall
Now I can't go to the party the electrician didn't call
And I hear they're counting numbers in a store down in Whitehall
So much information, what can they do with it all?
Don't come 'round for me unless you got what I...
Don't come 'round for me unless you got what I...
Don't come 'round for me unless you got what I want
I want some demystification
I want some demystification
I want some demystification
And I know what's going on
Some they can talk of Shiva and some they talk of God
Some talk of politicians and some may talk of love
Demystify the heroes with the chances we could take
I'm not looking for escapism, I just wanna escape
Don't come 'round for me unless you got what I...
Don't come 'round for me unless you got what I...
Don't come 'round for me unless you got what I want
I want some demystification
I want some demystification
I want some demystification
And I know what's going on
Don't come 'round for me unless you got what I...
Don't come 'round for me unless you got what I...
Don't come 'round for me unless you got what I want
I want some demystification
I want some demystification
I want some demystification
And I know what's going on
I want some demystification
I want some demystification
I want some demystification
And I know what's going on
(Berenyi)
Everybody knows a woman like me
Insecurity is my philosophy
I see other women as the competition
I'm always nice to men and so they're nice to me
But other girls always seem to be bitchin' about me
I say they must be jealous
I say that its because their boyfriends all fancy me
Close my eyes and fantisize
Of all men envying me
So much fun to be number one
What good are sisters to me?
I just can't relate to some men
Unless I use my sexuality
Normal conversation always leave me insecure
Men are so much more approachable
Clever, kind and intellectual
And I never feel uncomfortable in their company
Male appreciation is my one ambition
Its a competition I must win
When I talk to girls its just monotonous shit
Because I don't want their friendship just their jealousy
Oooh
Outside you are waiting for me, hiding
You catch me when I am
Needing a friend to hold
You can soothe me, lie above me
Press hard
Then you strike
And I think that I'll die
'Cause I can't breathe, can't breathe
Please let me start screaming
Please let me start screaming
Please let me start screaming
Oooh
Please let me start screaming
Eyes are open seeing nothing
Hands are tied and I can't function
Please let me start screaming
Please let me start screaming
Please let me start screaming
Please let me start screaming
(Anderson)
Lately, I don't feel quite as I should
Lately, I don't feel quite as I could
I've been tired, lonely, sick of all this talk
It's been heading downward since we left New York
Lately, I've been feeling really down
Sorry, but my mind's in London town
Is it me or are these hotels really bad?
I want some decent TV, not this endless ad
Don't worry, you're a long, long way from home
People speak to me but I feel so alone
Don't worry, you're a long, long way from home
People speak to me but I feel so alone
Can't you understand my body's changing fast
It's not up to me how long I'm going to last
(Anderson)
See my life (I've been so tired)
See my self (I've been uptight)
See my life (I've been so tired)
See my sight (I could disappear)
See with you memories fading fast
And with you it's never going to last
You are the sweetness in my eyes
You are an apple in disguise
See with you
I never seemed to look the other way
Only to stay, only to breathe
Only to see
That space and light is what I really need
I never wanted to tell lies
You are the sweetness in my eyes
You are the juice I need for life
You are the sweetness in my eyes
Sunbathing, and she came down from above
Close my eyes and I feel like I'm in love
Wrapped in silk, how I got here I don't know
Tastes like milk and there's nowhere else to go
Soft red lips, slowly open wide
Honey drips and I long to feel inside
Deep and warm, the only to place to be
Sleep til dawn, then she does the same for me
Drawn fine line, heal my bad spine
Close together, now its all mine
Wake in sunlight, sunlight bleak white
(Anderson)
Me in the world
Losing tears, shedding fears
Strain for the sun
Make you run, make you come
You don't know
You don't know
I'm in my home
All the time, on my own
Low finger fine
Take what's mine, from behind
You don't know
You don't know
It's not there
You don't care
You're still inside of me
Beneath the cotton core
My pictures smile at me
And soon they'll rise and soar
Fill up my space
Turn around, fade and trace
Be absolute
Blue and white, fatal fruit
She nylon smile
Full of lies, shining eyes
Cover my grin
Take a chance, maybe win
It's not there
It's not fair
You don't know
(Anderson)
I can't seem to find the time to ponder
I only think when I go for a wander
Life is too short
I feel that I'm caught
I can't go on
Feeling like this
I close my mind to boring stuff that you say
I'm cold and numb to things that you put my way
Its gone on too long
I have to be strong
My interest has gone long ago
I can't bear it when you start to moan
'Cause night and day you're always on the phone
Unaffect my houses not my home
Why can't you just leave me alone?
Life is too short
I feel that I'm caught
I can't go on
Feeling like this
I can't bear it when you start to moan
'Cause night and day you're always on the phone
Unaffect my houses not my home
Why can't you just leave me alone?
(Anderson)
Only children sometimes comprehend
Loneliness can often be a friend
Have to shut yourself in
Don't know how to begin
Telling it to someone
Who doesn't fit in
I am sunken in biology
I cannot control that part of me
I don't want to hurt you
But I know I will do
Maybe we could find out
What are we to do
I don't have long fingernails to use
Would we care if we were black and blue?
We're both sick but still you hold my hand
We're together but I understand
Walk along the seaside
This is not a joyride
Tell me in the meantime
It's ok
(King)
Ba ba da pa ba da
Ba da da da da da daaa
Ba dum dum ba da da dum......
(The entire song is basically like this and I'm not even going to attempt it)
Come with me
Into a cool blue stream
Bleed into oceans green
Lips open wide, drinking the tide
Reach for me
Here where the ocean sea melts
And you sink with me deeper inside
I'll make you mine
Take me down
Down where their voices drown
Down where the only sound
Echoes for me
Take me down
Down where their voices drown
Down where the only sound
Echoes for me
Floating away under the waves
Kiss me again, you'll tell me when salt on my lips
Cool fingertips under the sea
Single girl I don't wanna be a single girl
Single girl I don't wanna be a single girl
Don't wanna be on my own again tonight
Don't wanna put out the light
Single girl who would wanna be a single girl
Don't wanna talk to myself again tonight
Don't wanna put out the light
When you abandoned me
Well it was heaven-sent
When I abandoned you
It was what you meant
Well it was you that knew it
And it was you that went
Having changed our minds it was meant to be
Don't wanna clean up your mess again tonight
Don't have to be in a fight
I'm going to what I want again tonight
Living without you - it's alright
Before I met you I was blind
Pills and liquid filled my mind
Beneath your outline I was new
Overflowing with your tune
And don't you know you're beautiful
Next month I missed you like a child
Couldn't see past you though I tried
And don't you know you're beautiful
And don't you know you're beautiful
Now I think of every hour
When you still retained your power
And the precious nights we'd share
When we'd breathe in common air
The feeling now you've gone
This wretched life goes on
The knife inside of me
It turns just like a key
The sunlight always comes too soon
My body asks me what to do
I was so small and vulnerable
And you were only beautiful
The seasons shining in your hair
And it was more than I could bare
But I can see you in my smile
(Anderson)
In me you'll see
Dirt flows freely
But you may find
That my thoughts are unkind
Pure life needs knife
Cuts off my life
But as you see
Hurting you you bless me
I always wanted to cry
After the act close my eyes
I always longed for the deep
Then I just wanted to sleep
Blood stream cruel dream
Never make clean
Down by my side I feel safe when I hide
(Anderson)
You feel like I do
Like the whole world's forgotten you
And your life is so dull and predictable
Your room seems like a cell
And you don't sleep very well
And your friends only talk to point and to mock
And to ridicule
One day things won't seem the same way, I know
Morning in the mirror
Things will suddenly seem much clearer I promise, it's alright
His words don't flatter me
And they're printed for all to see
I don't care, he's not there
It's all history
The future's yours to hold
And you're really not very old
And your life is so white, so clean and so bright
And holds mystery
Morning in the mirror
Things will suddenly seem much clearer I promise it's alright
One day things won't seem the same way, I know
One day things won't seem the same way, I know
You are the one, in your concrete arms I adore you
Dirty and dear, block out the sun
In your twists and turns I invade
You show me no fear
We blow around like tiny leaves in a big storm
Finding there's nothing left to breathe or to keep warm
You ebb and flow and your rhythm beats my head
Leave me alone while you swallow up the dead
You are the one, you cradle me and kill, caressing my face
Leave me undone, you suffocate and have me, this is the place
Every door conceals a dream and a nightmare
Nothing is ever really pure in the stale air
And when it's dark everything becomes more clear
Lie in the park when I want to have you near
You are the one, in your concrete arms I adore you
Dusty and dear, block out the sun
In your twists and turns I invade
You show me no fear
Left it unsung, I shall leave but I'll return
Poison my lungs, my blood is full of lead
I'd like to walk around in your mind some day
I'd like to walk all over the things you say to me
I'd like to run and jump on your solitude
I'd like to rearrange your attitude to me
You say you just want peace and you'd never hurt anyone
You see the end before the beginning is ever begun
I would disturb your lazy tranquility
I'd turn away the sad impossibility of your smile
I'd sit there hearing the sound of the things I like about you
I'd sing my songs and find out just what they mean to you
But most of all I'd like you to be unaware
And I'd just wander away trailing palm leaves behind me
So you don't even know that I've been there
(Dunbar/Gargwer)
See that we're so close together (???)
So far we're just friends, but I've been wonder whether...
I am just imagining you
Do you really have a thing for me?
Like I think I see when I see you smile and the smile's for me
I've gotta tell ya...
Hey you! I wanna be your girlfriend
Trying to say I wanna be your number one
Hey you! I wanna be your girlfriend
Gonna make you love me 'fore I'm done
Late at night when I, when I go sleep
Picture in my mind, I see you and me
I am telling you what I wanna be
You, you say you are in love with me
Even though this'll (???)
that I know in life it's just got to be(???)
Hey you! I wanna be your girlfriend
Trying to say I wanna be your number one
Hey you! I wanna be your girlfriend
Gonna make you love me 'fore I'm done.
I'm gonna make you love me
Yeah I'm gonna make you love me
Yeah I'm gonna make you love me from now on
I am just imagining you
Do you really have a thing for me?
Like I think I see when I see you smile and the smile's for me
I've gotta tell ya
Hey you! I wanna be your girlfriend
Trying to say I wanna be your number one
Hey you! I wanna be your girlfriend
Gonna make you love me 'fore I'm...
Hey you! I wanna be your girlfriend
Hey you! I wanna be your girlfriend
Hey you! I wanna be your girlfriend
Gonna make you love me
Yeah, I'm gonna make you love me
Yeah, I'm gonna make you love me 'fore I'm done.
Yeah, I'm gonna make you love me 'fore I'm done.
(S. Merritt)
We have walked in ancient times
And we've been burned for many crimes
We have ended many lives
But we never really died
You have the sun, I have the moon
You have to fly around the world all day
To keep the sun upon your face
I'd like to come and comfort you
But I'd be blinded by the blue
You have the sun, I have the moon
You're going to die under the sun
And I'll be doomed to carry on
You have become like other men
But let me kiss you once again
You have the sun, I have the moon
Pretty little girl, she shines
Knowing she is young, she smiles
Happy just to be a prize
Happy just to see his smile
Silly little girl, she tries
Thinking she is good, and wise
Doesn't recognise the lies
Pouring from her lips, she sighs:
This is so real,
It's what I feel,
I look in your eyes and lose myself
Silly little girl denies
Every understanding why
Her face is full of sad surprise
Every time she hears him cry:
What do you feel
When you're with me?
I look in your eyes and see myself
But there's no connection,
Just his own reflection
Isn't this the way you wanted me?
(what do you mean?)
In love with you
(what do I feel?)
Do anything
(what do you mean?)
For you
She looked in his eyes to lose herself
And when it falls apart, she cries
Doesn't think to look inside
She just covers up her eyes
Doesn't see her own disguise
And though she feels this sorrow,
It will fade tomorrow
She'll pretend that this was really love
(what do you mean?)
She'll make their fall
(what did I feel?)
Seem beautiful
(what do you mean?)
She won't remember this at all
(what do you mean?)
She won't recall
(what did I feel?)
The truth at all
(what do you mean?)
She wants to fall
(what did I feel?)
Again
(Anderson)
When I'm home I listen hoping for a clue
And you know they can't tell us what to do
When you're gone, out of sight not out of mind
But you know this feeling took me years to find
And your eyes, they always know where it hurts
And your lips kiss me 'til I'm fit to burst
Each day you watch me with your static gaze
And smile, naked at my silly ways
Planets spin around your head
Milk and sugar in my bed
Even when you're far away
I can hear you every day
Wise hands grasping the delicate prize
I just wait for the time of our lives
My desires can't be bought in black and white
Only you make me feel secure inside
For I know you really love no one but me
And I smile because they think it's fantasy
No one knows what's going on
They don't know where we belong
Let you swim around my face
Live inside my special place
It's only you that holds the key
Don't know what you do to me
In our little secret world
I can be your little girl
My desires can't be bought in black and white
Only you make me feel secure inside
For I know you really love no one but me
(Anderson)
I've been waiting on the slide
Suggest I open wide
No incentive to hide
Happy coursing through my veins
Don't even know my name
When I'm up you're coming down
Inside of me, some sight to see
Some sight to feel our earthy bed
When we're wrapped in polythene
What's that supposed to mean
Paper flowers bring me luck
No birds in sight I fear
Stick sticks in you my dear
When I'm up you're coming down
Some say I'm vague
And I'd easily fade
Foolish parade of fantasy
Drink in your eyes
Drink in you sighs
Grass in my thighs my aching legs
(Anderson/Berenyi)
Carmen tells me what she's done
Says she's having fun
Wants to be a mom
Copper hair and golden smile
Sparkles all the while
But life can be a trial
Carmen's in a world of pain
Don't cry now for yesterday
Babys' gone but she's okay
Carmen tells me where she's been
Nightmares that she's seen
Makes me want to scream
Hear the things that she's been through
Grey and black and blue
Life can be so cruel
Sit down here and take a drink
Tell me about everything
And he shrugs and then he winks again
Chocolate box and photograph
Life is hard and life is tough
Carmen smiles and then she laughs again
It's time we started heading home now
I've made mistakes along the way
It makes no sense but I'm okay now
Its happened again
I guess I'll live another day
Sit down here and take a drink
Tell me about everything
And he shrugs and then he winks again
Chocolate box and photograph
Life is hard and life is tough
Carmen smiles and then she laughs again
I'm hiding inside me
eye sees through my smile
as I shine
for the eyes of another
let him inscribe
what he admires
let him inspire
so many lies
I can provide
any disguise
night folds me beside you
I hide from your eyes
for I know
this illusion is kinder
than what you'll find
inside
if I reveal
my crime
my deception
my invention
my obsession
you may despise
what you may find
hiding behind
all of the lies
let me provide
one more disguise
you won't understand me
I can't let you try
still I dream
of the day you discover
Just don't imagine that I'll still remember you
Don't even think I'll try
I'll take my memories and drown them in my glass
And then I'll drink a toast of bitterness and wash you from my heart
I count the blessings that took you away from me
I laugh to think I cried
I don't need what you got I don't miss what you do
'Cause I can raise my glass and drink a toast of bitterness to you
And now my mind recalls no memory of you
And so I raise a smile and drink a toast of bitterness to you
Just don't imagine that I still remember you
Don't even think I care
You took your love elsewhere and I drank mine away
Shake, baby, shake
You know I can fit you in my arms
Brake, baby, brake
Taking me in with all your charms
I've never been inside you but you're so alluring
They call you "little mouse" by name in Rome and Turin
Looking now at your famous shape
They don't make them like you anymore
Shake, baby, shake
You know I can fit you in my arms
Brake, baby, brake
Taking me in with all your charms
When things are looking good there's always complications
I can't be with you so I'm at the railway station
Let's run away and be so alive
Escape the drudgery of this nine to five
Shake, baby, shake
You know I can fit you in my arms
Brake, baby, brake
Taking me in with all your charms
Shake, baby, shake
You know I worship from afar
Brake, baby, brake
How I wish you were my car
Shake, baby, shake
You know I can fit you in my arms
Brake, baby, brake
Taking me in with all your charms
Shake, baby, shake
Shake, baby, shake
Shake, baby, shake
Shake, baby, shake
Here we go, I'm hanging out in Camden
Drinking with my girlfriends on a Saturday night
This guy says, "come and meet my girlfriend"
She's sitting in the corner looking rather uptight
So I say "hello" and I try to be nice
But I see he's feeling itchy
Trying to play us off each other
"Girls, girls, please don't fight"
(You get the picture)
Hey you, the muscles and the long hair
Telling me that women are superior to men
Most guys just don't appreciate this
You just try convincing me you're better than them
So he talks for hours 'bout his sensitive soul
And his favourite subject is sex
I don't even think he really wanted it
But, Christ, this guy's too much
(I wanna tell him)
I'm as human as the next girl
I like a bit of flattery
But I don't need your practised lines
Your school of charm mentality so
Save your breath for someone else and
Credit me with something more
When it comes to men like you
I know the score, I've heard it all before
(Here comes the next one)
Blondie was with me for a summer
He flirted like a maniac but I wouldn't bite
I'm weak and he was so persistent
He only had to have me 'cause I put up a fight
Oh God, the boy had such an ego
He liked to talk about himself all day and all night
You think you're such a ladykiller
But you were nothing special 'til you turned out the light
When he's nice to me he's just nice to himself
And he's watching his reflection
I'm a five foot mirror for adoring himself
Here's seven years' bad luck
(I wanna tell him)
When you say you love me
You're just flattering your vanity
But I don't need your practised lines,
Your school of charm mentality so
Save your breath for someone else and
Credit me with something more
When it comes to men like you,
I know the score, I've heard it all before
Ooh, you're such a ladykiller,
Always on a winner, thinking that you're in there
Oh boy, you're such a ladykiller,
Super sexy mister, call it what you will, oh
You think you're such a ladykiller,
I just bet you're still there, posing in the mirror
Hey girls, he's such a ladykiller,
Just because they seem to understand the way you feel
It just doesn't mean that they'll feel the same way too
Just because they seem to hold a mirror to your life
It just doesn't follow that they'll be just like you
Take no heroes, it's no good
They don't stand up to you
Just take the bits you think that you can use
I remember when I was younger
I thought the answers were locked in people
So I admired the ones whose lives were
A source of envy to people like me
But do you really want to meet
The ones who write your dreams
Believe me, it's a fantasy
You won't like the reality
If you want heroes keep them safe
They don't stand up to life so
Lock them in your soul and lose the key
I love you, I don't wanna meet you X12
When I see you it makes me feel
There's someone else out there like me
You touch my soul with what you do
It all makes sense when I hear you
You understand the way I feel
I know exactly what you mean
It's like I've known you all my life
I think of you I feel alright
But in the flesh how would it be
If you could really see
The weaknesses you never knew
Alive and staring back at you
If you want heroes keep them safe
They don't stand up to life so
Lock them in your soul and lose the key
Lock them in your soul and lose the key
"Baby," he says, "You are like the clean white page and I the pen.
The innocence I find between your girlish thighs is like the fountain of youth to my old bones."
And she replies, "Daddy's little girl's a precocious child
I love to please, I'll do anything that you ask of me
Eager to fulfill all of Daddy's needs."
"Baby," he says, "I can never love older girls like I love you.
You're easier to please and you never give me grief
'Cause you accept everything I say and do."
And she replies, "I'm in no position to make demands.
I have no past, no one else has done to me what you do.
I've got no one else to compare you to."
"And as you grow older, try to stay sixteen all your life,
Old women grow bitter, don't let that happen to you."
"And why is it charming pretending I'm younger than my years?
Why can't I grow up with dignity? Set me free"
"Baby," he says, "Now that you're older I feel our love has died.
Once upon a time you never criticised me.
Oh, I much preferred you as a child."
And I reply, "Everything you said to me was a lie.
I know your kind, you just want a daughter without a wife.
Dreams deep heat teasing my mind
Sleep peels sweet stealing my sighs
She breathes deep when he's inside
Dreams deep heat poisons my mind
Inside me there's a separate world
It's winning and I'm losing control
I'm coming but my eyes are closed
I'm coming but it leaves me cold
Night's bright lights dim in the day
Blind eyes smile at you today
I find I'm falling away
My eyesights never the same
Inside me there's a separate girl
She's winning and I'm losing control
She coming but my eyes are closed
(Anderson)
Wake with the sun
What's going on, when you're gone
Fall asleep when you're near
What's going on, when you're here
And sometimes I think if I stand by the phone it may ring
And sometimes I worry and fear what tomorrow may bring
And you sing
And you sing
Breathe with your sigh
Makes me high, don't know why
Touching your skin
Wishing you were within
Your eyes are like saucers but mine are just clouded in gray
I've so much to tell but I can't and you just go away
Anyway
Won't you stay
Wake with the sun
What's going on, when you're gone
And when I lost control
I was cold, and I felt old
The ground is beneath me but slowly it's falling away
You say we're like children so why won't you come out and play?
And sometimes I think if I look at the phone it may ring
And sometimes I worry and fear what tomorrow may bring
When you sing
(berenyi)
He's perfect
at least within his dreams
he's perfect
to satisfy my scheme
He doesn't know my game
i don't recall his name
And though it's true
my flesh is new
believe me dear
my mind is clear
He's smiling
(smiling at me)
he thinks he's won the night
i'm laughing
(laughing at him)
imagine what you like
I know he's seen
inside i'm green
but still he's blind
to what goes on inside my mind
He's smiling
(smiling at me)
he thinks he's won the night
i'm thinking
(thinking of me)
imagine what you like
He claimed his prize
i had my price
i know it's cruel
but i refuse
(Anderson)
Come on little man now all's said and done
All tht I'm asking is you show me some fun
I need purple veins and scenic greens
They can make me soar and touch extremes
I just fell down from whitest skies
And now I start to realise
And all the colours talk to me
And if I had wings then I could take you in
I'd stay on the ground and I could teach you things
The grass is strewn with blades of gold
These sights and songs I have been told
All hopes desires that seem to sing
Come on little man now you're times nearly through
Colours are dripping down red and blue
I'm standing in the middle of a great glass ball
I'm told that I've nothing but I'm having it all
I just rose up from blackest seas
My eyes were opened so widely
Peel back empty night
Grey dawn breaks into white
Sun climbing the sky
Your eyes reflecting the light
Clouds out of sight
But when the day is through
Will I see you again?
Keep your eyes on me
Don't let go of my hand
Running together
We go together, so well
I can tell
Run where I run, play what I play
Do what I do
But when this day's through
He lives his life in a world full of women
And he takes what he wants from their love
And he throws the rest away
I cling to him and pray
But still he slips away
And now it's just too late
To wish him back again
She won't put up with this life so she leaves him
And she finds someone else, falls in love
And she travels far away
I say that it's ok
And swallow all my pain
And now it's just too late
To wish her back again
They left me here on my own in a nightmare
And I just can't forgive any more
So I smile and turn away
Don't listen when they say
They wish that I could stay
And now it's just too late
(Anderson)
If you walked in now
I wouldn't start I wouldn't frown
And if you just appeared
I wouldn't cry or think it weird
'cause you are still around
You're in the air, you're in the ground
And you can't go away
I am afraid you're here to stay
Friends don't understand
They close the door, they raise their hands
She says she heard your voice
Of course she does, she has no choice
I was hours ahead
When they removed you from your bed
They drank all the while
Until you said goodbye
Why are we sitting here in ourselves?
Why are we sitting here in ourselves?
Why are we sitting here in ourselves?
I don't look up, I don't look down
I look ahead and make no sound
My love was there,
I only stare
Healthy in my dreams
Is what you are, is what is seems
What does it all mean?
You're only hiding behind a screen
Curse the English day
For what it forces us to say
Banish all the pain
'cause when I die, die
See my life
(I've been so tired)
See my self
(I've been uptight)
See my life
(I've been so tired)
See my sight
(I could disappear)
See with you
Memories fading fast
And with you
It's never going to last
You are the sweetness in my eyes
You are an apple in disguise
See with you
I never seemed to look the other way
Only to stay, only to breathe, only to see
That space and light is what I really need
You are the sweetness in my eyes
You are an apple in disguise
I never wanted to tell lies
You are the sweetness in my eyes
You are the sweetness in my eyes
You are an apple in disguise
You are the juice I need for life
So you want to be alone
Run and hide inside your home
Watch you fall away from me
Sinking into misery
Taste your smile and hold my hand
Make you laugh and make you dance
I remember this
Everything was in our kiss
Sink my hands into the sea
Reach your fingers up to me
Trust me one more time I can only try
Throw yourself to me
And I'll try to pull you free
Let me try to pull you free
Let me try to pull you free
Let me try to pull you free
Let me try to pull you free
Let me try to pull you free
Let me try to pull you free
It's not easy
But try to picture this too
Do you remember
That we were once together?
Isn't it strange, isn't it?
I'm sorry it's come to this but
Why are we here bothering?
What was it we talked about? So
Just remind me
Of why I'm wasting so much
Time pretending
That there is something more than
Only this, only the
This pointless accusation
Tell me again
Why are we here?
I'm not offended
By the things that you say
'Cause it's such a predictable
Way to behave
Talk and insult me
'Til you're blue in the face
You were right, I was wrong
Now does that make you happy?
I'm quite aware
Of all the bad things I did
You don't have to remind me
Of why you dislike me
There's no solution
To the mess that we're in
It's so sad and so boring
I wish you'd just leave me alone
But I understand the games you play
I'm ashamed of all the things I did to you
I'm not offended
By the things that you say
'Cause it's such a predictable
Way to behave
Talk and insult me
'Til you're blue in the face
You were right, I was wrong
Now does that make you happy?
I'm not offended
By the things that you say
'Cause it's such a predictable
Way to behave
Talk and insult me
'Til you're blue in the face
You were right, I was wrong
Now does that make you happy?
I'm not offended
[Incomprehensible] sits sky high
Skips to the starlight
Rains tinsel whispers
Breeze blows away
I crawl inside me
My eyes to heaven
Pink cloud sits sky high
Breeze blows away
Silver air everywhere
Doesn't care
But silver winds
Cut my skin everywhere
I crawl inside me
My eyes to heaven
Pink cloud sits sky high
Breeze blows away
Breathe in green velvet
My lips taste warm earth
Pink cloud sits sky high
Breeze blows away
Summer sun so much fun
Colors run
Hot summers kiss
Cloudless bliss burns my tongue
Summer sun so much fun
Colors run
Hot summers kiss
Cloudless bliss burns my tongue
Hot summers kiss
I'm not interested in what you have to say
You're just a vacant space
Other people's lives upon which you prey it's a permanent disgrace
Why do you think you know what's best for me
What I should and shouldn't do
Why do you judge my history
And tell me to improve in the confines of your mind
You think we're all the same I've left them all behind
Though you wish I hadn't in finding fault in others I can't see
What you have to gain I know that you get pleasure from
Other people's pain
You're not so perfect and I realise the scene
That you're all coming from
When you say you care I know what you mean
You're really lying
All the poeple around here
Love to hear about a fall
They all surface and disappear
In an instant in the confines of your mind
You think we're all the same I've left them all behind
(Anderson/Berenyi)
Walking at midnight
In the darkness, alone
Standing in the shadows
And I'm watching your glow
Standing in the red light
And I'm smiling at you
Dreaming of the starlight
Just waiting for you
I'll do anything to
Make you mine, make me shine
Take me if you want me
I don't care, I don't mind
I want your starlight
Make it mine, make me shine
Touch me with your light
(Anderson)
Mirror maid, tummy ache
Make-up run
Lipstick girl, black stick curl
In the new york sun
Inside out, you know about my
Silly game
Even though, you don't know
About my name
Where I've been
What I dream
What I've seen
Clumsy eyes realise how to
Write the word
Basically, you sing for me
When I am hurt
Stoned and blind, never mind
Luckie's song
Press the keys, I can be
Where you belong
I'm a fan
Of your hand
I'm in love
Cry above
I'm a fan
Of your hand
Every man
So at last you're free
It's the way you wanted it to be
It's the price you pay
To be called a woman of today
Is it worth the pain to see the children cry?
Does it hurt when they ask for Daddy?
Hey hey Helen
Now you live on your own
Hey hey Helen
Can you make it alone?
So you're free at last
And are beginning to forget the past
Does it make you sad?
When you think about the life you've had
But you're right, you had to take a second chance
So you fight, it's a fight for your freedom
Hey hey Helen
Now you live on your own
Hey hey Helen
Can you make it alone?
Hey hey Helen, hey hey Helen
(What's the matter with you?)
Hey hey Helen, hey hey Helen
(Don't you know what to do?)
Aah, yes you do, yes, you do
Aah, yes you do, yes, you do
Hey hey Helen
Now you live on your own
Hey hey Helen
Can you make it alone?
Hey hey Helen, hey hey Helen
(What's the matter with you?)
Hey hey Helen, hey hey Helen
Swallowed her down, she's inside me
She's struggling now, she can't break free
And my eyes are closed, my lips are sealed
She can't escape but I can feel
Kicks in me
Climbing my spine, she's inside me
Wants to escape, wants to breathe
And I wish I could tell you what she feels
And I wish I could hear when she speaks
In my sleep
Will I ever be Olympia?
Will I ever be a girl like her?
Will I ever have to say the word
And instantly I'll be adored?
Could I ever deign to have the look
Instead of have to read a book?
Could I ever be Olympia?
Could I ever be a girl like her?
And if ever there's a will
There's a place in Notting Hill
You can go and visit still
And if ever there's a way
To find a hopeful ray
Will I find it all today?
Will I ever be Olympia?
Could I ever have a cat like her?
Could I ever lie around all day
Eating chocolate and marmalade?
Now it's time to find the perfect world
Dress myself up like the perfect girl
Could I ever be Olympia?
Could I ever be in love like her?
In chaos of our lives
Can we ever find the time
To cherish feeling fine
And in the aftermath of pain
Can the balance be regained?
Can we ever be the same?
And now, time to switch off
Sit down, turn the lights off
Lie back, treat this sofa like your own
Look out, here comes trouble
Look out, we're in a muddle
Keep running 'til you find you've reached your home
Could I ever be Olympia?
In the chaos of our lives
Can we ever find the time
To cherish feeling fine
And in the aftermath of pain
Can the balance be regained?
Can we ever be the same?

I was waiting at the station,
When your train came in,
Wasn't you I was tiptoeing for,
But you gave me a grin,
Felt my heart in my throat,
Felt my soul going out to you,
Could this be love at first sight?
I just didn't know.

Could this be love at first sight?
I just didn't know.
I didn't know,
I didn't know,
I didn't know,
I didn't know.
Don't you feel insecure,
All about your love for me?
There's nothing I adore,
Nothing can eclipse
Tender fingertips
Youthful girlish hips
Crimson pouting lips
But what d'you say when nothing's meant
What d'you do when all is spent
Faithless faceless night
Drenched in empty light
Scarlet starlet's bright
Vanity's delight
But what d'you say when nothing's meant
What d'you do when all is spent
Cream of life you'll find in her
First to come she's first to serve
Turned away you're out of luck
Spurned again no one to fall in love
Faithless faceless night
Drenched in empty light
Scarlet starlet's bright
Vanity's delight
But what d'you say when nothing's meant
What d'you do when all is spent
Cream of life you'll find in her
Come on boy, I wanna dance now
Line by line we talk all night, yeah
Hold me down, I think, I'm flying
Everybody's eyes are shining
Runaway to where the world is fine
Hold on boy, you're falling fast now
Line by line you go no where, yeah
Drag me down I feel, I'm sinking
Can't relate to what you're thinking
Runaway to where the sun don't shine
Hello, hello, are you still there?
You don't answer me 'cause you just don't care
Act so young but you look so old
And you're too far gone to find your own way home
Life's so hard for you to handle
You can't live without your devil
Boy, you think that you're so special
Well, life is hard for everyone, believe me
Hello, hello, do you still care?
You don't answer me 'cause there's no one there
Run away from your own sweet soul
And you're too far gone to find your own way home
Hello, hello, are you still there?
You don't answer me 'cause you just don't care
Act so young but you look so old
Tiny children on their own
They learn so fast
How to make new friends
How to play their new games
I remember a man he had shiny hair
Always hanging around when you went away
Little eight year old
She knows too many secrets
Much too young to understand
What it means
I remember a woman with silver hair
And the smell and the taste of the bed we shared
And that's how I behaved
Every time that you went away
And now, though I'm older nothings changed
(Playing the same games)
And I knew every day
Came a chance that you'd leave me
So I found what I could to take your place
Told me not to cry
Said that I'd survive
As he waved goodbye
And I want to try
Not to make you cry
Want us to survive
Never say goodbye
But that's how I behave when you go away
Because though I'm older nothings changed
(Playing the same games)
And I know every day
There's a chance that you'll leave me
(berenyi)
maybe i should make you stay away
so you can really concentrate on where you are today when you phone,
I sit and think alone
and wonder if your life with her is really as you say
Then again, you're still a friend
i'll be loyal to you 'til the end
Come to me with wounds you want to heal
i'll listen and i'll try to understand the way you feel
Never fear that i'll be gone from here
i'll always be around for you to talk to me, my dear
We can try to justify reasons for and reasons why
some are true and some are only lies
With fingers crossed you close your eyes
and hope that things will turn out fine
There's not a lot that i can do
if you're too weak to face the truth
'cause if the things you tell me are
the way you really claim they are
I've tried to be strong, I've tried to be tough
But I think that this time I've had more than enough
I've seen too much of your games and your immature stuff
You're a waste of time
All the people I've known thoughout all the years
Too many vodkas and too many beers
And I've learnt a few lessons from all of the tears
You're way out of line
I feel so lucky sometimes
I sit down and look at all my friends
They mean more than the stupid fools that pass my way
I used to prefer those who weren't good for me
Somehow the attraction beat reality
Now all the rubbish they spill, it means nothing to me
I'm just much more wise
Some people grow up and some only pretend
They're all over the place, these children dressed up as men
They can't imagine how a woman can be only a friend
And they deal in lies
I feel so lucky sometimes
I sit down and I listen to my friends
They say more than the empty words that pass my way
And I feel so lucky sometimes
I've got a feeling I've been here before
I can see the world for what it really is
You think that I'm jealous, well don't be so vain
I can tell in your voice you think I want you again
Well, if I did you know I think I'd be a little insane
You just leave me cold
Ooh, you and her in your sad little world
You can only exist with the help of a girl
Well, I'm glad it's not me, I've got my life to unfurl
You're just way too old
I feel so lucky sometimes
I sit down and I look at all my friends
They mean more than the stupid fools that pass my way
And I feel so lucky sometimes
I've got a feeling I've been here before
In this world I live in
I care for number one
Hell is round the corner
Never trust no one
Funny how the people
Came to gather round
Oh so many people
When I was on the ground
I've never known what love is
There's no Mr. Right
If they want to treat me good
Then that's their sorry plight
Funny how the people
Came to give their voice
Are they really people or
Just silly little boys?
Say what you want
I don't mind, I don't mind
Say what you need
I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind, I don't mind
I want all the people
To notice who I am
You gotta show them what you've got
Or they won't give a damn
Say what you want
I don't mind, I don't mind
Say what you need
I would like to do
Something for you
You want me to
She's just the same
She likes to play
I'll hide kisses in your hair
Don't feel ashamed
You're not to blame
It's just a game
But just the same
What would they say?
Baby angel on my knee
(Baby angel on my)
Lips are sealed
Lips are sealed
Lips are sealed
Come, sit with me
Slide on my knee
Sing just for me
And for a while
I'll make you smile
Baby angel on my knee
(Baby angel on my)
I know what you want from me
(I know what you want from me)
I'll make you smile
I'll make you smile
I'll make you smile
Outside she's listening
To laughter and whispering
But she won't say
Nothing to him, see
She's just the same
She's just the same
I know it hurts to see
That in the end they sympathized with me
And though it hurts to say
It couldn't happen any other way
I remember when you were free
No one else then you came to me
Cursed you then that it couldn't last
All the laughs we had in the past
And if it hurts you too
I hope you know that I'm still fond of you
And if its still unfair
Remember that I thought you never cared
Sing to me, comfort me, turned away
Someone else takes my place
And so you made your choice
When I needed most to hear your voice
But you were never there
(Anderson)
It's raining in this room
And it's so hot outside this room
I don't know no one here
I don't want to be here
In this room
We hold parties in our sleep
We fill ourselves up in our sleep
And I'll heal you when you're ill
Though it's hard keeping still
In our sleep
Pries the hair out of her mouth
Whilst the circus is heading south
While we search in the sand
Don't ask them to understand
Why they cover up their hands
(Anderson)
And even in your darkest hour
The recipe I cook for you
Can release its latent power
And make your body feel brand new
Can't you hear the music play
Being center of what you want
Try to leave the past behind
Memories don't appeal
All the things we said
All the things we did
All the things that passed
I've been so happy since I walked away
I never thought that I could feel as great as I do today
'Cause you were nothing but a big mistake
And life is wonderful, now that I'm rid of you
Oh I must've been crazy to have stayed with you
I can't believe I thought I was in love with you
But now the scales have fallen I can really see
And I say go to hell, 'cause thats where you took me
Well, I've felt better since I slammed that door
You always cramped my style, I never noticed before
It's been a non-stop party since I flew the coop
I can't believe I fell for such a loser like you
And is it any wonder that I felt so blue
When I was always having to put up with you
Oh, here we go again, just lay the blame on me
Don't say another word, 'cause sweetheart, you're history
I know that you miss me really
Bet you wish that you still had me
You'll never find someone like me but
I've got no regrets at all
'Cause I've met this girl and she's so good to me
She's really beautiful, fantastic company
Oh, when I'm with her I realize what love can be
Because she's fifty times the person you will ever be
Good luck, mister, do you think I care?
Since you've been gone the offers have been everywhere
I've got a million guys just lining up for me
I've turned a corner, boy, my life is ecstasy
Well, I've been in heaven since I walked away
I never thought that I could feel as great as I do today
'Cause you were nothing but a waste of space
In your green field sleep
Chasing through the trees
Do you still see me?
Do you still hear me?
[Skepta:]
Is it the champagne dance (No)
This is the champagne talk
Pop goes the cork the champagne pours

18 you're caught in the scene
While I'm trying to make my way out of the whole thing
It's got me hooked through the mouth like a fish straight out of the sea
Begging to get free
And I will admit I'm so sucked in wrapped up tight in tucking you in
If I take it away will you cry tonight? Or fall in love forever?
I'm asking you now before I try, to make it oh so better
And if I take it away will you cry tonight? Or fall in love forever?
I'm asking you now before I try
So we thought, let's take things slow
And now I'm here and I don't even want to remember
While we dance to the rhythm by the bedside twisted tongue tied lusting everything
But do you care what I feel?
Cause I don't really feel anything
When your running your lips down onto my -
Never mind, it's about you girl this time,
Cause you look so cute with your knees on the floor looking up taking all of me
If I take it away will you cry tonight? Or fall in love forever?
I'm asking you now before I try, to make it oh so better
And if I take it away will you cry tonight? Or fall in love forever?
I'm asking you now before I try
Hush oh, my little lush, when you're running your lips down
When you're running your lips down baby
If I take it away will you cry tonight? Or fall in love forever?
I'm asking you now before I try, to make it oh so better
And if I take it away will you cry tonight? Or fall in love forever?
I'm asking you now before I - when you're running your lips down baby
Hush hush my little lush, if I take it away, will you cry tonight?
When you're running your lips down onto my playground
That's the way I like to get down
18, you're playing the scene
While I'm trying to make my way out of the whole thing
While we dance to the rhythm by the bedside
I bestow you my vilest dreams
I awake on the verge of tears
Let's take the lords name in vain
let's take the highroad again
The heaven cracks and all my fears unite
the storm is approaching and Christ, I was right
Let's take the lords name in vain
let's take the highroad again
I felt her hands
fondling my flaws
I saw the eyes of the devil
when I dove into prose
I shrive...
I admit...
I confess...
I am still lost
bewildered by my own thoughts
slicing the muse
reflecting the confusion
I awake on the verge of tears
I will bestow you my vilest dreams
So let's take the lords name in vain
and let's take the highroad again
I feel your hands
fondling my flaws
I see the eyes of the devil
A sip of this a sip of thatJust don't give any to that
That' s okay don't need too much
Just take one sip and we'll call you lush
Give me your socks to use the facilities
Taking double hits walking's harder than it seems
Help me cause I'm falling where else can I go
Do what you want I won't say no
Do you really want so much wine
Just go meet Ed he's being kind
Shut up girls you're being too loud
There's a campfire there with a real big crowd
Kiss me you fool I want it bad
I'm standing by a tree and it's making me sad
My body's going numb my ring's falling off
I feel real dizzy every time I cough
That's why we call you lush
