Enugu (English pronunciation: /eɪˈnuːɡuː/ ay-NOO-goo,Igbo: Énugwú) is the capital of Enugu State in Nigeria. It is located in the southeastern area of Nigeria and is largely populated by members of the Igbo ethnic group. The city has a population of 722,664 according to the 2006 Nigerian census. The name Enugu is derived from the two Igbo words Enu Ugwu meaning "hill top" denoting the city's hilly geography. The city was named after Enugwu Ngwo which coal was found under.
Since the 17th century the location of present day Enugu has been settled by the Nike (English: /niːˈkeɪ/ nee-KAY) subgroup of the Igbo people; one of Enugu's neighbourhoods still retains the village's old name Ogui. In 1900 the Southern Nigeria Protectorate was established by the colonial administration of the British Empire. The discovery of coal by the colonialists led to the building of the Eastern Line railway to carry coal from the inland city to the port of Port Harcourt, a city created for this purpose located 151 miles (243 km) south of what was called Enugu Coal Camp. Enugu was then renamed simply Enugu and developed among the few cities in West Africa that were created from European contact. By 1958 Enugu had over 8,000 coal miners. As of 2005[update] there are no significant coal mining activities left in the city.
Akanu Ibiam (1906–1995) was a distinguished medical missionary who was appointed Governor of Eastern Region, Nigeria from December 1960 until January 1966 during the Nigerian First Republic. From 1919 to 1951, he was known as Francis Ibiam, and from 1951 to 1967, Sir Francis Ibiam.
Ibiam was born in Unwana, Afikpo, Ebonyi State on 29 November 1906, of Igbo background. He was the second son of Chief Ibiam Aka, a traditional ruler of Unwana. He himself later became traditional ruler, Eze Ogo Isiala I of Unwana and Osuji of Uburu. He attended Hope Waddell Training Institute, Calabar, and King's College, Lagos, and then was admitted to the University of St. Andrews, graduating with a medical degree in 1934. He was accepted as a medical missionary of the Church of Scotland, in which role he established Abiriba hospital (1936–1945) and later superintended mission hospitals at Itu and Uburu.
Ibiam was never ordained as a minister, but he was elected and ordained as an elder of the Presbyterian Church. He was knighted in 1951 for his work as a medical missionary of the Church of Scotland. Ibiam was president of the Christian Council of Nigeria (1955–1958). In 1957 he was appointed principal of Hope Waddell Institution. In 1959 Ibiam was president of the University College of Ibadan. On a visit to Northern Rhodesia, he was refused service at a cafe reserved for whites, an affair that became notorious. In 1962, he was chairman of the committee that established the Protestant Chapel at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka Campus.
You tell me that you need to spend sometime alone
You tell me that you think it's best if I'd go home now
I get my coat from off the floor, I'm out the door
Walking home alone, my love has left
My head, my heart all torn apart
My mind's exploding
Crying my eyes out over you
It must be hard for you to believe that I might love you
Just try to understand I just want you to want me too
You made me fall in love again, you angel
How you take my breath away, I live for you
It must be hard for you to believe that I might love you anyway
Just try to understand I just wanted you to want me too
A hundred days has made me older
since the last time that i saw your pretty face
a thousand lights had made me colder
and i don't think i can look at this the same
and all the miles had seperate
they disapeared now when i'm dreaming of your face
Im here without you baby
but you're still on my lonely mind
i think about you baby

I’m here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
but tonight girl it’s only you and me
I spy, I spy a tear in your eye
So I'll try, I'll try to get you out of here
You sigh, just move a little closer

Who's the one that makes you happy
Who's the one that always makes you laugh
Who's the reason you're smiling
And dragged you through these time, so rough
I was the one that made you happy
I was the one that eased the pain
But I'm the reason that you're crying now
My own tears scattered by the rain
You can sacrifice me
You can sacrifice me
You can set me free
You can be who you wanna be
Deeper than deep you took me on a trip baby
You shared your wildest dreams and more
You dare me to express my feelings to you
I never felt that need before
But suddenly you needed freedom
You felt the need to break free
You started drowning in your sorrow
You didn't wanna know I had the key
You can sacrifice me
You can sacrifice me
You can set me free
You can be who you wanna to be
You can sacrifice me, sacrifice me
You can be who you wanna
You can be who you wanna be
spot lion theme
The songs of the world escape me
The moment you crack
Now you driving
Down the highway of regret
Your a victim
Of your rapids eye
Promises broken
Yeah
Your that restless kind
Only you, only you can stop this
Stop this from pulling us under
Baby, no one can do this but you
Blue dreams about you
My eyes wide open
You think you lost it
My heart for you
The sfeer of you're not being here with me
Were moving slowmotion
I stop and rewind
Back to better times
Only you, only you can stop this
Stop this from pulling us under
Baby, no one can do this but you
You ask me what is on my mind
You notice there's a change
There's something different
Different in the way I look at you today
You see I have been alone for so long baby
Now I cannot explain
I must be completely out of my mind
To ever take the chance
I ain't got no trouble still I worry
That I might have to lose you
See I've been alone for so long baby
Now I cannot explain, I've been alone for so long
I took the chance to lose you
No I must be insane, I've been alone for so long
I'm not gonna lose you
I never ever really tried
I never had the strength
But now I got you, I got you by my side
I'm gonna make this work
You see I've been alone for so long baby
All the things I've done when I was alone I can't understand myself
It's amazing, you amaze me
But my life begins with the song I sing and the love you bring to me
To this generation
We cannot forget
The ones that we have loved
The ones we left behind
Don't be afraid to reach out
This world is changing fast
For those who take a stand
Heaven knows
We grieve in our life
Don't let us pay the price (grief in our life, grief in our life)
So much grief in our life
It will fade over time (grief in our life, grief in our life)
Yeah to this generation
It's hard to get along
And we cannot deny
The struggles through this life
It won't do no good to wait
We're running out of time
For those who take a stand
Heaven knows
We grieve in our life
Don't let us pay the price (grief in our life, grief in our life)
So much grief in our life
It will fade over time (grief in our life, grief in our life)
Guilty for we turn the other cheek
Guilty for not willing to achieve
Come on happiness what's keeping you so long
How can we forget
Yeah yeah yeah
We grieve in our life
Don't let us pay the price (grief in our life, grief in our life)
Yes we grieve in our life
It will fade over time (grief in our life, grief in our life)
Yes we grieve in our life
It will fade over time
We grieve in our life
Don't let us pay the price
It's good to see you after all this time
It's good to know that you are doing fine
But I can't help but notice in a bar on Friday night
There is something you should tell me
But your driver waits outside
You're moving on, you're going to a bigger world
You're moving on, you're ready for the universe
It's meaningless to me
"Cause you're not here to see
The bigger side of me
I swear I saw a tear roll down your face
But there's a lot of smoke in bars these days
All I notice is the light that shines upon you from aside
Getting jealous of the coffee in the cup you hold so tight
You're moving on to God knows where
Send me a postcard when you're there
Will I remember?
What will it say
Life is bigger
It's bigger than you and you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much, I set it up
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you and I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no I've said too much, I set it up
Consider this the hint of the century
Consider this the slip that brought me to my knees failed
What if all these fantasies come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
Graduated fool, that is what I am
For every time I failed you
You're so beautiful, I just turned and walked away
I jingle with words, tangle my tongue
Stammering stutters
So I wrote you this song, to finally tell you
What you've known all along, I love you
Believe in me, believe me
It was true devotion, now these mixed emotions
Oh, I did it again
I want you to forgive me, when the pain has faded
We'll be laughing again
Believe in me
Graduated fool, I'm better than I am
For that is what you made me
Please, hold back your tears
I didn't deserve you anyway
Believe in me, I still care for you, believe me
Just believe in me, believe me
When I kiss your face again, all these mixed emotions
Of pleasure and pain
I want you to forgive me, when the pain has faded
We'll be laughing again
Believe in me, you're so beautiful, believe me
Ticket To Heaven
I’m walking a wire
it feel likes a thousand ways I could fall
To want is to buy
but to live is to die and you can’t take it all
And everything is said and done I won’t have one thing left
What happened to everything that I ever known
All he gave me was this ticket to heaven
that ticket to heaven
said to lie in the bed that you make
Now I’m restless and I’m running from everything
I’m running from everything
I’m afraid it’s a little too late
It’s a voices lie
innocents die
And all your dreams
and all your money they don’t mean a thing
When everything is said and done
you won’t have one thing left
What happened to everything that I ever known
All he gave me was this ticket to heaven
that ticket to heaven
said to lie in the bed that you make
Now I’m restless and I’m running from everything
I’m running from everything
I’m afraid it’s little too late
It’s a little too late
All he gave me was this ticket to heaven
that ticket to heaven,
said to lie in the bed that you make
Now I’m restless and I’m running from everything
I’m running from everything
I’m afraid it’s a little too late
All he gave me was this ticket to heaven
that ticket to heaven
said to lie in the bed that you make
Now I’m restless and I’m running from everything
I’m running from everything
I’m afraid it’s a little too late
It’s a little too late
He spends his nights in California
Watching the stars on the big screen
Then he lies awake and he wonders,
Why can't that be me
Cause in his life he is filled
With all these good intentions
He's left a lot of things
He'd rather not mention right now
But just before he says goodnight,
He looks up with a little smile at me,
And he says,
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that,
what would I do,
What would I do,
Now in dreams we run
She spends her days up in the north park,
Watching the people as they pass
And all she wants is just
A little piece of this dream,
Is that too much to ask
With a safe home, and a warm bed,
On a quiet little street
All she wants is just that something to
Hold onto, that's all she needs
Yeah!
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
What would I do
I'm falling into this, in dreams
We run away
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
What would I do
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
What would I do
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
What would I do
Falling in
I feel I am falling in, to this again
Now I don't know what to do cause I'm still in love with you.
And after all I have done can you tell me what's going on.
I can't understand why you wanna treat me so cold.
I guess I was a fool for loving you.
And I guess I was a fool for thinking you were loving me too.
Should of knew you were breaking my heart in two.
I guess I was a fool for needing you.
And I guess I was a fool for thinking that you were needed me too.
Should of knew 'bout the things you were taking me through.
Feel like I'm losing my mind just a fool to think your love could be
kind.
My heart aches, so hard to let you go and I don't know which way to go.
Standing here all alone, with no one to call my own girl look what
you've done to me.
Yeah you hurt me got me living in misery.
(Chorus)
And girl my heart can't take this pain and
There's no way I can live this way feeling just like a fool
And girl you know you got me going insane.
There's nothing left to say sorry that it had to be this way.
But yet still I feel you weren't keeping it real.
Girl why did you lie to me.
(Chorus Out)
If roses are meant to be red
And violets to be blue
Why isn't my heart meant for you
My hands longing to touch you
But I can barely breathe
Starry eyes that make me melt
Right in front of me
Lost in this world
I even get lost in this song
And when the lights go down
That is where I'll be found
This music's irresistible
Your voice makes my skin crawl
Innocent and pure
I guess you heard it all before
Mister Inaccessible
Will this ever change
One thing that remains the same
You're still a picture in a frame
Lost in this world
I even get lost in this song
And when the lights go down
That is where I'll be found
I get lost in this world
I get lost in your eyes
And when the lights go down
That's where I'll be found
Yeah yeah
I get lost in this world
I get lost in your eyes
And when the lights go down
Am I the only one
I'm walking in the park
And I'm talking to the dark
But there ain't nobody listening
My heart has turned to stone
When I found myself alone
Now all I do is whisper to the dark
There's only so much you can take
You've gotta give yourself a break
But I don't think you're listening
If you're gonna take it all so hard
You gonna tear yourself apart
I can understand you miss him in the dark
Yeah, teach your heart how to sing get the courage again now
Yeah, take the 10:50 train to the city
Yeah, I had a chance for romance so I do it again now
If love is no longer being served
You've got to leave the table
Mister Aznavour told me, merci beaucoup
Though I miss him, got to let go
Though I miss him, got to let go
Let it go
It's about the time to leave it all behind you
You don't want to, but life is passing by you
The hard knocks, got you twisted like dreadlocks
Catalogue your dark and set some new marks
I understand your body is filled with hesitation
Trust me it's gonna be a whole new situation
Turn this page I guess you know what to do
Rise up like phoenix, I'm bringing out the beauty in you
Yeah, tech your heart how to sing get the courage again now
Yeah, take the 10:50 train to the city
I have drunk virginia water
I have dug my own gravesend
set my foot ashore in new port
travelled far beyond my landsend
and home is in my head
I have dived into a blackpool
with a maidstone around my neck
I just drifted into the southsea
with no hull beyond my deck
and home is in my head
well I have lost a wheel in barrow
try to cross the no one cambridge
I'm gonna get out of my shell
Try without anybody's help
To loose this heavy load
And get my life back on the road
I've seen the worst when I was down
Only loneliness I found
Now I'm climbing to the top
And I ain't never gonna stop
I'll carry on, though the road is long
I'm gonna get myself together
And I'll hold on, 'cause I am strong
Gonna try to make it better, baby
The rest of my life I'll take these chances
Time goes by so very fast
I'll share my fortune and my failure
'til there's nothing left
And if somewhere down the line
I'll find I'm running out of time
I hope to god that I can say
I made the best of every day
'Til then I'll carry on, 'though the road is long
I'm gonna get myself together
And I'll hold on, 'cause I am strong
I'm gonna try to make it better, baby
The rest of my life I'll take these chances
Time goes by so very fast
I'll share my fortune and my failure
I close my eyes
And imagine you're here
Did it all seem so hopeless
Given the chance
I would ask
Forgive me
I didn't do a thing to make you stay
I didn't say a word to make you stay
If I would have known
Could I have tried to make it easier
But I didn't do a thing
Or say a word
One word
And I don't know why you're gone, now you're gone
No beautiful goodbye
You will never leave my mind
And it turns out to be so much different than our dreams
Now you're, you're a star in heaven
My thoughts unsaid
Stuck in my head
And it all feels so useless
Never forget to give all I have
Forgive me
I couldn't do a thing to make you stay
And I couldn't say a word to make you stay
If I could have known
Could I have tried to make it easier
But I couldn't do a thing
Or say a word
One word
And I don't know why you're gone, now you're gone
No beautiful goodbye
You will never leave my mind
And it turns out to be so much different than our dreams
Now you're, yeah you're a star in heaven
Still I don't know why you're gone, now you're gone
No beautiful goodbye
You will never leave my mind
And it turns out to be so much different than our dreams
Now you're, you're a star in heaven
You're a star in heaven now
You're a star in heaven
I've got a bug in my head
And a jumping heart
No time to spare
Turn left turn right step on it
Stopped by the traffic light
And all that honking screaming
The cabdriver is dreaming
Of the beach and babes
Leaning back easy as the sun goes down
But I'm already late
No time to spare, couldn't care less about it
If the sky was falling down
No I don't care you can stare while the whole world is crumbling around me
Urban Solitude breaking me down
Keeps me dreaming
Urban solitude shaking me down
Keeps me dreaming
So you've got a lot of stuff on your mind
Or a bleeding heart when nobody cares
Step in, step out of the rain
Head for the flickering lights, just head for the flickering lights
There's always somebody dancing baby, taking a chance, someone will give you love
Although it's just enough to get you through the night
Well alright now
No I don't care you can stare I don't care about it
No I don't care you can stare I don't care about it
No I don't care you can stare, while the whole world is crumbling around me
Urban Solitude breaking me down
Keeps me dreaming
Urban solitude shaking us down
I'm just thinkin' about the child in me,
That I sometimes feel inside
And I'm figuring out just what it is
That makes me feel so small
Is it you, that hurts me when I give myself
Every day and every night
Am I too blind to see that it doesn't work out
Did I really ask too much of you baby
Do you mean to tell me that's the way it is
Do you mean to say
It's all so hard, It's so hard
It's all so hard, It's so hard
As I search for an answer, I see the clear blue sky
And I know that you're the one to blame
And I feel so naive
When you say that our love to you was just a game
I dream, my dream, I'm sane, I'm insane
Oh, please don't, please don't speak to me that way
Do you mean to tell me that's the way it is
Do you mean to say
It's all so hard, It's so hard
It's all so hard, It's so hard
Damned it's so hard, why you're so hard
I've been sleeping all day
Slummin' all night in a 44 hour sedation
Since the day you cut me out of your life
The night I killed your patience
Always tried to lie to you
The truth is that I love you
I need you more than anything
Without you I discover, I'm a maniac and a menace
Headin' for destruction
Your lips, I miss your tears your hips your piss your blood
The way you function
Maybe I should thank some god for your
amazing fluid conduction
It was max, the king of facts
He made me steal your number
I promised not to tell on him
But you know me I'm a sucker
Always tried to lie to you
The truth is that I love you
I need you more than anything
Without you I discover, I'm a maniac and a menace
Headin' for destruction
Your lips, I miss your tears your hips your piss your blood
The way you function
Maybe I should thank some god for your
amazing fluid conduction
Your kiss, I miss your tears your fingertips my satisfaction
A taste of breath, a kiss sweater than honey
Your eyes in a misty dream a million miles away
And in my ear you whisper my name
Just like in some old news flash
From light years ago
Van Dyke's on the slide trombone
Through the smoke of the party room
Your teeth like the ivory coast
Start singin' my favourite song
And it happen' to be mood indigo
Mood indigo
I just go weak when I hear mood indigo
Could last for weeks until I decide to wake up
Take off my make up
Holding on to my heart
Srnokin' them downhill
In a room number thirteen
Tryin' to stretch my luck again
Dovvn the corridor your footsteps echo against the wall
My man of mystery, my date with infinity
Tonight I'm gonna sacrifice, for the first time in my life
Make it all come back to me, like an old forgotten dream
Van Dyke's on the slide trombone
Through the smoke of the party room
Your teeth like the ivory coast
Start singin' my favourite song
And it happen' to be mood indigo
Mood indigo, I just go weak when I hear mood indigo
It could last for weeks until I decide to wake up
It's a shame, the rules change not the game
Such a shame, It's the same
Now everything is in vain
All in vain, it's such a shame
Could it be true, that there's nothing left to do
For me and you, can't be true
We all can't be such fools
Could life be so cruel
Could life be so cruel
Maybe, I don't even try fearing what I'd find
Guess I am a number on the line
Could you please tell me why
We're on the same line, and we're fallin' behind
on life
Life is great, I'm walking in the sun and everything is cool
Yeah it's true, there's so much we can do
It feels so right
Yeah, it's all right
Maybe, I don't even try fearing what I'd find
Guess I am a number on the line
Could you please tell me why
Baby, I don't even wanna try fearing what I'd find
Guess I am a number on the line
Could you please tell me why we're on the same line and
Fallin' behind
Now I believe that what I used to think was a lie is really alive
Now I can see there's only one place to reach
Only one thing to preach and that's the highest
It's the strangest thing that I can feel so much
There is no reason, there is no logic to feelings
'Cause when love is the dealer I'm addicted
So fascinated, I can't stop this constant craving
You're contagious
It's the strangest thing that I can feel so much
For someone, somehow
And I cannot hide, even if I try
You mean everything to me
Any fool can see, what you've done to me
You mean everyhing to me
And when you're not her, I jsut cry
And when you're not here, I could die
The best is still to come dear
The best is still to come for us
It's the strangest thing that I can feel so much
No hurry, I'll be waiting
My baby, now don't you worry
I'll be fine
Just take your time
To make up your mind
Draw a line
Or flip a dime
Waiting for you
It's easy, if you want to please me
Don't tell me maybe
Come back home complete me
No strings attached
That's a promise I can't keep
So I waste my time
With lazy crazy dreaming
A sparkling wine
A twist of lime
A whiskey soda, hole in time
When you're not here
Don't say you're sorry
Don't say it
Sure got my piece of heaven
an angel in disguise
Gone wild
But I thoughtyou were a man
Who knew right from wrong
That's why I really don't understand
Why he's with her
It's killing me
What has she got what I don't have
Is it the way she looks at you
Laughs with you, can she,
Does she make you beg for more
This is hurting
What has she got what I don't have
I tried to call him
Anytime anywhere
But he's never there
So I went to his place
And waited all day
So he would explain it to me
And this is what he said
He said:
There is nothing left to say
I had my fill, I went away
Your crying eyes won't change a thing
It was just a fling
Well how could an angel break my heart
He said: We could still be friends
Are you kidding me
What has she got that I don't have
Is it the way she looks at you
Talks to you, can she
Does she make you beg for more
This is hurting
What has she got that I don't have, I don't have
But twice every year
When he's in tears
When he loses his mind
And can't help but cry
He'll call me and then
Sir can you tell me how to get to Jerusalem
'Cause I have kinda lost my way
Sir will you help me get there as fast as I can
Tomorrow might be too late
'Cause things ain't what they used to be
My love for life is gone you see
Am I fighting things I cannot see
People always tellin' me how sweet and simple life could be
They say you might as well live before you die
But one thing I know for sure
I am a danger to myself, how come
Yeah one thing I know for sure
I need some guidance, to get me out of this hellhole
Jerusalem, can you help me find my way back to Jerusalem, yeah
It took me quite a while to get into Jerusalem
'Cause I had kinda lost my way
I want to save me from myself so here I am
I hope it's not too late
'Cause things ain't what they used to be
My love for life is gone you see
Am I fighting things I cannot see
I am so afraid to love
'Cause of the way I've been hurt before
I think by now it's time for me to leave
But one thing I know for sure
I am a danger to myself, how come
Yeah one thing I know for sure
I need some guidance, to get me out of this hellhole
Jerusalem, can you help me find my way back to Jerusalem
Jerusalem, can you help me find what I have lost
Things ain't what they used to be
My love for life is gone you see
Am I fighting things I cannot see
I don't wanna die this way
Wishing that I could turn back time
Wasted time, there is work to be done
But one thing I know for sure
I am a danger to myself, how come
Yeah one thing I know for sure
I need some guidance, to get me out of this hellhole
Jerusalem, can you help me find my way back to Jerusalem
Jerusalem, can you help me find what I have lost, yeah yeah
What's the matter my friend
Can you tell me why
You say there's nothing on your mind
Please stop telling me lies
As long as you're lying
I can't ease your mind
No sense in hiding
It's all in your eyes
No need to hide
You can't tell me lies
No sense in hiding
It's all in your eyes
Cause I ain't happy man
Until I see you smile
Until I see the spark back in your eyes
And I can tell you why
As long as you're smiling
I'll hit a high
No sense in hiding
It;s all in your eyes
No need to hide
You can't tell me lies
No sense in hiding
It's all in your eyes
What's the matter baby
What's the matter baby
What's the matter now
Cause I ain't happy
Unless I see you smile
Unless I see you smile
What's the matter man
What's the matter baby
What's the matter now
Cause I ain't happy
Unless I see you smile
Unless I see you smile
What's the matter man
Did you ever wake up in the morning
With a freight-train running through your head
An empty whiskey bottle by your pillow
And a burned out unfinished cigarette
The night went up in smoke
Life is but a joke man
But I see nobody laughing
Did you ever live a day
Like the next day would never come
Blood's dripping on the floor, but who cares
Who needs you anyway
You're a stranger to yourself
And this ain't no joke man
But I can't stop laughing
Greedy, angry people make me
Run around in circles backwards
Down the lonely road that keeps me
Run around in circles
How I want to try again
Excuse me can you lead me
I just want to try again
Excuse me can you lead the way
Just take me by the hand
How I want to
Did you ever find yourself drowning
In a dark and crowded bar
The barman keeps on pouring and you're kissing everyone
The night will never end
'Cause my horse is still saddled up
Let's say I'm feeling better
Let's say I'm feeling fine
Let's say I gave you all I had
And now I'm out of time
And my best wasn't good enough
And now this time to wonder
Now this time to heal
Time to let it all come down
But I don't know what I feel
But it aches and it hurts and it burns
Oh it kills me
Tick, tock, you don't stop
You don't fade
You just stay
But I'll do it all again
Now you don't call me baby
Just don't pretend you care
Save your sorry for yourself
When Judas takes you there
Once I really believed
There was nothing out there for the lost and lonely
But a voice in my head kept banging on my heart
Says you're not the only one
But it kills me
Tick, tock, you don't stop
You don't fade
You just stay
But I'll do it all again
Tick, tock, you don't stop
You don't fade
You just stay
Relationship lost on a stormy sea
I hold on to you
Just hold on to me
When the lighting strikes
You hear the thunder roaring
And you don't know how long
This will go on
But I know I still love you
And I know you still care
So keep on tryin' when you're sure you still love me
I don't know much
But I know how to love you
Doesn't that mean anything
I don't know much
But I know how to love you
A sea of love
Don't let it drown us
We're way too far from shore
As we go deeper
As the wind grows stronger
It tries to tip us over
But we both learned how to swim
So let's just go on
'Cause I know I still love you
And I know you still care
So keep on tryin' when you're sure you still love me
I don't know much
But I know how to love you
Doesn't that mean anything
I don't know much
But I know how to love you
Yeah I know I still love you
And I know you still care
I don't know much
But I know how to love you, yeah
Doesn't that mean anything
I don't know much
But I know how to love you
And that's all I need to know
Yeah that's all I need to know babe
Oh that's all I need to know
That's all I need to know
Hey Michel how's life are you ok
I wonder if you ever think of me
It's been 9 years since that kiss
I can't help but reminisce
Hey Michel do you remember
We walked the street to the beat
Hand in hand you and me
Smiling faces so in love
Hoping that they all could see
That we belonged together you and me against the world
But we found out the hard way cause it wasn't meant to be
Now it's you and her I see
You were my first and worst love
And so it only could go wrong
But ain't that just the way you learn
Hey Michel I just wanted to let you know
That someone else has stolen my heart
And now another girl has caught your eye
That doesn't mean I don't think of you
I am just hoping she'll treat you right
Do you remember
How we walked the street to the beat
Hand in hand you and me
Smiling faces so in love
Hoping they all could see
That we belonged together you and me against the world
But we found out the hard way cause it wasn't meant to be
Now it is you and her I see
Last time you're breaking my heart
It's the last time
Last time I'm falling apart
It's the last time
Took a while to even up the score now
Last time, baby once more
Last time, you're breaking my heart
It's the last time
Last time once again, it's the
Last time I'm on my own again
How could I be so blind
How could I be so blind
How could you take me for granted all these years
You kept telling me, no it won't happen again,
But every time I turn around, you stab me in the back
Your perfect smile ain't flashing anymore
You're magic is gone, boy
This time I'm breaking your heart
It's my turn now
It's my turn to let you fall apart
I'm gonna make your eyes burn
And what I really have learned from this
Is that I'm never gonna follow my heart again
And that there're people living in this world
Who'll treat you like a dog, like they just don't care
And cause I don't deserve this
I'm gonna watch my steps before I get me some ass
This is, this is the last time
How could you take me for granted all these years
You kept telling me, no it won't happen again,
I was dreaming last night
A figment of my brain
On the downtown train
And we had nowhere to go
So we got off to take a walk
In the pouring rain
You said you rode it once
And you would ride it again
Please take me with you
Tom waits for the morning train
To take us away
Me and mr. Tom Waits
Can't wait no more
I'm wrapped around your finger
Two fingers on my lips
No need to speak
Cause it's all in your eyes
When they turned out the lights
They gave us one for the road
We headed for the tracks
And never looked back
This could never be real
Tom waits for the morning train
To take us away
Me and mr. Tom Waits
Can't wait no more
Can't wait no more
On the downtown train
When your world comes crashing down
Don't waste no time
No this world's big enough for you and me
And when you need someone to hold
There's always someone around
Help, help them to help you
Help, help them to help you
'Cause when you're down, down, down
Stand up again
Breathe in
And when you're down, down, down
Come up again
Breathe in
When you feel you're tumblin' down
Now don't you worry
'Cause you'll be back up on your feet again
And when you need someone to hold
There's always someone around
Help, help them to help you
Help, help them to help you
'Cause when you're down, down, down
Come up again
Breathe in
Yeah when you're down, down, down
Stand up again
Hold on
Soon your eyes will see the sun, I believe in love
Is it worth the tears you cry, what about the love
Just leave the past behind, do you believe in love
You are never too far gone to try
To try, yes try, yeah just try
So when you're down, down, down
Stand up again
Breathe in
When you're down, down, down
Come up again
Hold on, hold on
Breathe in, what you're waiting for
Breathe in, you are never too far gone to try
Breathe in, what you're waiting for
Breathe in, soon your eyes will see the sun again
And again and again
Breathe in, soon your eyes will see the sun again
So many times I've cried
When dark clouds block the sunlight
And it's raining in my heart
I'll keep my head up high
So little time to try
To find out 'bout the feeling
That's deep inside of you
And keeps the dream alive
So remember
When you're down and out
In the sand
So many minds are torn
By overloading senses
You're breathing in and out
No second left to sigh
Can you tell me why
Nobody will tell me
What they're feeling deep inside
We're all just telling lies
Every time you wonder
Why the feeling lingers
And it's stuck inside your soul
You're crying when you smile
So remember
When you're down and out
When you're stuck in the middle
When you can't solve the riddle
Lay it down in the sand
When you can't help but shiver
Get your finger off the trigger
Lay it down in the sand
Get it out your head
Out of your hands
Lay it down in the sand
So remember
When you're down and out
When you're stuck in the middle
When you can't solve the riddle
Lay it down in the sand
When you can't help but shiver
Get your finger off the trigger
Lay it down in the sand
Get it out your head
Out of your hands
Lay it down
I am looking for answers to questions never posed
I haven't got a clue, I'm living like a ghost
I can't seem to read the signs
I'm swimming in the sand, I'm searching
I hold on to your reasons, I'll hold on to my dreams
It's all good and bad advice 'cause you have to choose
One friend says to go ahead, other one says don't
I'm searching
Whatever I try I can't find it
Whereever I roam it's all gone
No you can't find it, first you gotta lose it
Looking for an angle to change my point of view
Waiting for somebody, someone to relate to
Hoping for forgiveness, I'm living for love
I'm searching
Yearning for a teacher, to show me what to do
I'm learning from failure, that's all that I can do
Working on solutions, a fiction of truth
Keep on searching
Whatever I try I can't find it
Wherever I roam it's all gone
Do I really want to know myself
Do I want to see
Why I'm wonderin' every morning, who's it gonna be today
Staring in the mirror, come tell me, who's that under my skin
And what's the reason they're here for
Tell me what is my own true face
Tell me what is my own true face
But hey here I come
I'm the show's main attraction
I'm a beautiful creature
That's what I am, yeah that's what I am
But the other side of me
I can't explain why I've become
Negative as can be
I'm wonderin' where it's coming from
I know I can't do without it, sure makes me what I am
So I will never stop believin'
In that I love myself someday
In that I love myself someday
But hey here I come
I'm the show's main attraction
I'm a beautiful creature
I got my head in the clouds
Running from the thunder
Proud as I can be I am
Waiting for the grey to replace the black in me
Daddy, will the sun come up again
You and me, we fail to see
Nothing lasts forever
It's plain to see, you will agree
It's hard to stay together
Will we keep the thieves away
Will we both remember
To make the best of every chance
Or will we just surrender
Shouldn't we be making
Any effort needed to
Stop our dreams from fading
The sky is fading black to blue
We should be together
I am runnin' out of faith
And it takes something more each time
Before I put my heart in your hands daddy
You and me, did we fail to see
No one stays together
No it won't be easy
You will agree
To make this a forever
Will we keep the thieves away
Will we both remember
To make the best of every chance
Or will we just surrender
Shouldn't we be making
Any effort needed to
Stop our dreams from fading
There's gonna be a yellow moon tonight
Don't leave the light on
Beads of sweat running down my face
You can catch them with your tongue
Colours run up and down your body
Every time you move
Every time, every time
Every Time you move
When I kiss the pictures on your skin
Make me shiver with the fire
Let me kiss the pictures on your skin
A pair of eyes that stare across the room watching yo breathing
Magic signs scratched inside a heart
Filled with your name
Colours run up and down your body
Every time you move
Every time, every time
Every Time you move
When I kiss the pictures on your skin
Make me shiver with the fire
Let me kiss the pictures on your skin
The reds, the blues, the greens and the greys
All bleed their colours through a sweaty haze
And we slide like a serpent on silky sheets and that twist and turn
Forever and ever and ever
Soft as a butterfly, stings like a bee
Soft as a butterfly, stings like a bee
Colours run up and down your body
Every time you move
Every time, every time
Every Time you move
When I kiss the pictures on your skin
Make me shiver with the fire
I'm watching your shadow cut by the moon
Peaceful I wait for the dawn
These moments in silence are all that I need
The softness of hearing you breathe
And I know it doesn't get better than this
Funny it starts with just one little kiss
Baby all I know you're no longer alone
We've started a home of our own love
All my love is yours, you're no longer alone
We've started a home of our own love
Your ups and your downs, powers and fears
Your presence fulfils my desire
You're all that I've wished for
You're more than I need, you're right where I wanna be
Oh no, I don't ask questions or try to explain
Telling myself it just happens this way
Baby all I know you're no longer alone
We've started a home of our own love
All my love is yours, you're no longer alone
We've started a home of our own love
I don't ask questions or try to explain
Telling myself it just happens this way
Baby all I know you're no longer alone
We've started a home of our own love
All my love is yours, you're no longer alone
Baby all I know you're no longer alone
We've started a home of our own love
All my love is yours, you're no longer alone
Baby all I know you're no longer alone
Baby all I know you're no longer alone
No one can hear me, 'cause no one is around
But I still hear your whisper in the dark
I know I can go, I know I can leave when ever I please
But time is a jailer for me
A face in the window, looking inside
But no one else sees it, I know
And now that you've found that the years have changed
What the ending will be
Time's just a jailer for me
I shut out the light
Alone in the dark
This time of night
Is the hardest part
I still hear the sound of your heels on the floor
I wait for the sound of your key in the door
But it's only the sound of nothing at all and so it must be
That time is a jailer for me
Girl girl girl
When I hear him talk
Ooh my mind gets blocked girl
Speak up 'cause my jaw is locked
Which is good, good for me girl
It hides like a warning sign
But I'm too blind to see
Speak up yes I'm coming down
With an ice cold fever
Ice cold fever
Ice cold fever
Still got my hands they're clinging
So I just keep going
I don't know where I belong
Could I belong to you
No I don't know where I belong
Could I belong
Girl girl girl
Get it while it's hot they say
You see I'm burning up here
I want to but I just can't stop
And it hurts
It hurts like hell girl
You turn me inside out and upside down
Ooh you got me head over heels
I'm stuck
Yes I'm coming down with an ice cold fever
Ice cold fever
Ice cold fever, aha
Still got my hands they're clinging
So I just keep going
I don't know where I belong
Could I belong to you
No I don't know where I belong
Could I belong
Could I belong
Still got my hands they're clinging
So I just keep going
I don't know where I belong
Could I belong to you
No I don't know where I belong
Could I belong
Oh girl, yeah I belong
To you, you, you
To you, yeah you
To you, you, you
To you, yeah you
To you, you, you
Yeah I belong to you
Say you yeah you
Could I belong to you
Alright
Hey!
Who's the one that made you happy
Who's the one that always makes you laugh
Who's the reason you're smiling
And dragged you though these times so rough
I was the one that made you happy
I was the one that eased the pain
But I'm the reason that you're crying now
My own tears scattered by the rain
You can sacrifice me
You can sacrifice me
You set me free
You can be who you wanna be
Deeper than deep you took me on a trip baby
You shared your wildest dreams and more
You dare me to express my feelings to you
I never felt that need before
But suddenly you needed freedom
You felt the need to break free
You started drowning in your sorrow
You didn't wanna know I had the key
Headin' for destruction
You can sacrifice me
You can sacrifice me
You set me free
You can be who you wanna be
You can sacrifice me, sacrifice me
You can be who you wanna
Graduated fool...
