The Web
See myself, standing on this shelf
See this suitcase, it's loaded here to go
See these lines, well the years have taken time
What you've taken, you've given back as mine
Everything you see
That's caught in the web
Well it's caught it for me
You're letting out your heart
You're trading in your soul
And would you trade it for me
Cos I would trade it for you
See this hand, it's shaking like a loaded gun
See this water, it's turning into wine
See these brush strokes, they've painted it for me
And if you want, then one and one is three
Everything you see
That's caught in the web
Well it's caught it for me
You're letting out your heart
You're trading in your soul
And would you trade it for me
Cos I would trade it for you
Stream on stream, my champagne velvet dies
I've tasted venom, tasted spears, I almost fly
I'm scared of nothing, cos nothing's scared of me
I've fallen into this, all I need is one wish
And that's to know that
Everything you see
That's caught in the web
Well it's caught it for me
You're letting out your heart
You're trading in your soul
And would you trade it for me
Cos I would trade it for you
Everything you see
That's caught in the web
Well it's caught it for me
You're letting out your heart
You're trading in your soul
And would you trade it for me
When the favours come around
I wanna be the first to receive them now
When the shadows become the light
I wanna be the first to see them now
And we're moving a little closer now
And our love is like a shadow on the knife
And we're moving so much closer now
And our love is like a supernova
Our love is like a supernova
When the laughter turns to tears
I wanna be the first to taste it now
When I lose myself in the crowd
I want you to be the one to find me now
And we're moving a little closer now
And our love is like a shadow on the knife
And we're moving so much closer now
And our love is like a supernova
Our love is like a supernova
Yeah we're moving a little closer now
And our love is like a shadow on the knife
And we're moving so much closer now
And our love is like a supernova
Make believe that it's Sunday again
The whole world will have to wake up
And you feel like your coming to an end
And you don't have to fake it
I can't believe what you want me to hear
You don't get it, you don't get it
You think you know when it's's coming to an end
But I just don't feel it
And it makes no sense, if I can't get away
And it makes no difference, at least well not today
And I feel the same, as when we first ran away
And it makes no sense, if I can't get away
Oh get away
With your radars and your supersystem
You think you'll never get caught
With your lies and suffer sentence
It doesn't matter if you get caught
Just pray you never get caught
I can't believe what I want you to hear
I don't get it, I don't get
You think you know when I lie to your friends
You don't get it, you don't get it
And it makes no sense, if I can't get away
And it makes no difference, at least well not today
And I feel the same, as when we first ran away
And it makes no sense, if I can't get away
Oh get away
And it makes no sense, if I can't get away
And it makes no difference, at least well not today
And I feel the same, as when we first ran away
And it makes no sense, if I can't get away
Forest
Wild and high
Elevation's a lie
And I've got to be alive
Now I'm with you
Wild and free
But you and up just like me
When I'm with you
Run run run
The trees are falling down
I wish I believed
Then I wouldn't have to think
That everything was alright
If I was with you
And I wish I could see
Cos then I might believe
That everything was right
If I was with you
And I wish I could see
Cos then I might believe
That everything was right
If I was with you
Run run run
The trees are falling down
Oh my head
Hold my head
Oh my head
The trees are falling down
God is watching
God is feeling
Guard my actions
And guard my feelings
And if I stand here
will I hear the trees fall down
Or will I bend
God is watching
God is feeling
Guard my actions
And guard my feelings
And if I stand here
will I hear the trees fall down
Or will I bend
God is watching
God is feeling
Guard my actions
And guard my feeling
And if I stand here
will I hear the trees fall down
And you ascending
Run run run
The trees are falling down
Oh my head
Hold my head
Oh my head
Savage at heart
Escape for a day you won't go back
I should have seen from the start
There'd be more heartache than pain
I'm watching the wind blow
I'm watching the rain
I'm watching this love grow
No more heartache or pain
Cos this is real
This is real
This is real
This is as good as it gets
This is as good as it gets
I'm staying for a party
And I'm staying for change
I'm feeling kinda naughty, and let's say
Nothing has changed
I'm watching my love grow
I'm watching the kids go mad and I'm
I'm watching this whole thing from above
This is real
This is real
This is real
This is as good as it gets
Second time round I'll make it better
Second time round I'll make you stay
Second time round I'll make it better, for you
My honeymoon child
My honeymoon child
My honeymoon child
My honeymoon child
Cos this is real
(My honeymoon child)
This is real
(My honeymoon child)
This is real
(My honeymoon child)
This is as good as it gets
Glancing at three thirty three, Feeling half
Nasty
Won't anyone help me
Anyone into the sixes they make me feel sickly
Won't anyone believe me?
Super high ways and manic cultures
Speed freakes that no one knows
Yea hug him and hold him don't bite him
Or I won't let you rest
[Chorus]
Military precision like clock work
Yea my time has come
Am I circling or am I in a spin?
I've broken the promise and lived with the guilt
I've boken the grail and you can't fix it
I've broken your promise and lived with your
Guilt
I broke the grail now you won't let me rest
This rain is never ending
this rain will bring the flood
this rain is deep within me
it swells 'till there's not enough
room inside for the lies I live
the pain I give or receive
it seems it's rained for so long now
there's too much water to breathe
how deep is this canyon
how far must I go
to find the answers
what'll I do when I know
there's no joy in ending
no redemption for me
no way to defend this
Verse 1:
Come my little venus
Can't you feel, it's in all of us
Like the light, we see you soon give up yourself
And dive into the moon
And I don't mind being with you
Knowing I'm by myself
There's a river in all of us that's dry
As you are in me
There's a river in all of us that's dry
As you are in me
Verse 2:
Come my little venus
Wrapped in shadows, yeah you're one of us
And I hear the footsteps inside your head
Walking, trying to find yourself
I found myself in you
Let me in, let me breathe
Yeah I found myself in you
Oh yeah
Chorus/Bridge:
You scream in silence but I can hear you,
You scream in silence but I can hear you,
You scream in silence but I can hear you,
You scream in silence but I can hear you,
Verse:
Come my little venus can't you feel, can't you feel
Oh now your one of us
Like a light we'll see you soon
give up yourself
Dive into the moon,
I don't mind I don't mind,
Now my venus, my venus, my venus, my venus,
Come my little
Oh my venus, my venus, my venus,
I've never felt so guitly
And it's never felt so right
I've never been a victim before
And I've never been so jealous
Of the fool on the floor
I've managed just to drag him home
I feel pleasently raw
Oh, little world do you want to play?
Oh, sexy girl do you think you'll saty?
This crazy world, all my skies gone grey
Oh, pretty girl, please don't melt away
Well I've never witnessed change
Though I always thought I would
I've never been deranged
Though you always thought I was
I've never felt like killing
Cause I never gave a shit
I've never been a victim before
I guess you thought I was him
Well I'm not him
Oh little world do you want to play?
Oh sexy girl do you think you'll stay?
This crazy world, all my skies gone grey
Oh pretty girl please don't melt away
I'll bend and break cause I'm so fragile
Oh little world do you want to play?
Oh sexy girl do you think you'll stay?
This crazy world, all my skies gone grey
Oh pretty girl, please don't melt away
Lightning glances penetrate me
I'd better say my prayers
I'll take my chances in the wind
We'll see who really cares
I've never been a victim
Though you might disagree
Verse 1:
This is good
This is great
And if I remember that it's not too late
That this is love
And this is hate
And I got a feeling that I hope it's not too late
This is good
Less is more
This isn't given and it's not a reward
This is yours
What's yours is mine
So let's get with it/not waste our time
Chorus:
Cause you're larger than life
It's how I remember you
The harder I try
I can't forget you
The more I learn
The less I know
If this is a feeling that I wanted to grow
Cause you're larger than life
That's how I remember it
The harder I try
I can't forget it
The harder I fall
You sit there laughing
Why'd you come here
Watch me dancin' on the floor
Verse 2:
Well if I am feared
Then I will not need
I will love you without all of my greed
But if you lie
You will be caught
This is a lesson I don't need to be taught
Larger than life
Greater the fear
If you love me I will always be here
It's your life/and you can choose
Well this is a fight I'm not willing to lose
Chorus
Chorus part 1 x 3
Cause you're larger than life
Yeah you're larger than life
Yeah you're larger than life
Ohhh Yeah
You're larger than life
Yeah you're larger than life
Yeah you're larger than life
Ohhh Yeah
These other worlds are uncharted
More than a little down hearted
It's an open invitation
To this diamond gold imitation show but
Everything is going to be alright
We communicate
Without any style
I hope it's not too late
To sit and talk for a while
Come out of your cage and talk to the stars
Another standing ovation
Another dodgy location
Its a goldfish situation
Yeah im stairing out at the world
Everything is going to be alright cos
We communicate
Wthout any style
I hope it not too late
To sit and talk for a while
Come out of your cage and talk to the stars

To sit and talk for a while
Come out of your cage and talk to the stars

We communicate
Wthout any style
I hope it not too late
To sit and talk for a while
You seem so nervous and so natural to me
As a major operator you know what say
You suck me in then spit me out I dont wanna play
You made a promise broke it on the same day
When you told me what you wanted and I wanted you
You said you needed help and I wanted to
But I couldnt take this broken anniversary
I made the same mistake on the very same day
It was a good day and a bad day
It was good friday then the weekend
And if its anything worth saying
Its bring on the weekend
Its a broken hearted ancient gentle memory
I remember perfect moments and I wish theyd stay
You cast aside a vision, yeah, to let me know
You dreamed and dream and then you had to let it go
When you told me what you wanted and I wanted you
You said you needed help and I wanted to
But I couldnt take this broken anniversary
I made the same mistake on the very same day
It was a good day then a bad day
It was good friday then the weekend
And if its anything worth saying
Its bring on the weekend
It was a good day and a bad day
It was good friday then the weekendx2
Bring on the weekendx2
You told me what you wanted and I wanted you
And said you needed help and I wanted to
But I couldnt take this broken anniversary
Open up never let it close again
Give it up never let it rise again
Take a footstep in my step
And you step the next step
And make it mine again
I walk straight into this affair
I'm looking for this accidental love
I walked face first into a storm
You think you know
I don't know I just guess
And you think you can lead
I don't tell I suggest
Make your call the right call
Remember you're never second best
I walk straight into this affair
I'm looking for this accidental love
I walked face first into a storm
It's going to be the sun
I walked face first into a storm
I'm looking for this accidental love
Yeah it's going to be the sun
Take the hammer
Smash the glass
Take the glass
Cut the mother earth
Opens up
And sucks you down
It sucks your sorry ass into the ground
Are you pressure man or prey
Do you suffer through the gravity
Are you predator or prey
Will you suffer my reality
Are you pressure man or prey
Do you suffer through the gravity
Are you pressure man or prey
Well go and get me another
Make my day
And will flower crosses wash it all away
And follow the lines and the arrows
To find your way
And will sweeping bands all take you pain away
Are you pressure man or prey
Do you suffer through the gravity
Are you predator or prey
Will you suffer my reality
Are you pressure man or prey
Do you suffer through the gravity
Are you pressure man or prey
Sometimes when you come for me
I will run away
Sometimes when you come for me
I will run away
Are you pressure man or prey
Do you suffer through the gravity
Are you predator or prey
Will you suffer my reality
Are you pressure man or prey
Do you suffer through the gravity
We'll let the mentally confused,
Glue themselves to the screen
They'll see their names have been refused,
Their past is never seen
They're closing in on our position,
X-raying all out gear
It's an enlightened disposition
But the end is never clear
So I'm going internal, The whole world's a blur
[Chorus]
Unleash the fury,
Let this shadow pass right through me
I've been betrayed by my very own hand
Unleash the fury,
Let these memories confuse me
Now something's gone, Something's got to end
So we'll be breaking up again
Unleash the fury and bruise the beast
Hell this ain't no five hundred or bridge
This ain't no live and let live kind of game
When the bastards are here to destroy my name
So I'm going internal, The whole world's a blur
[Chorus]
Welcome to the world within,
It's world of sin, It's so wonderful
Unleash the fury, Hit the bourbon hit the phone
Let's start a rumour that we're married and
Heading for Rome
Im not addicted anymore
I feel so good I want some more
Ive given in, and now I'll take it again
So come with me my friend
Well come with me my friends x3
Well come with me
Im not so deep that I can feel so sweet
And dont tell me that Im your faithless creep
Im fucking up with the system again
And come with me my friends
Yeah come with me my friends
Well come with me my friendsx2
Well come with me
And the face paint and matches no need to be there
And since theres no difference theres no need to compare
And you see me, I, Im flying
And you see me there, Im dying
Come with me my friendsx3
I stood alone on the porch looking over
The fields with my brandy hand
Sometimes I run
Sometimes I limp
Sometimes I'm just thinking of you
Got a little excited but that's okay
Cos everybody's looking for love
Got a little excited but that's okay
Cos everybody's looking for love
You want a little respect
Then you're acting like a child on the introspect
Hiding on the wall side
On the dark side of the bed
You're playing in wigs now
All dressed in gold
That's no polish it's the life I'm told
These are the weapons of the war
You're laced in a candy shame
Do you have a handle on your pain
I am here to celebrate your life now
I am here to be your friend now
Yeah I am your friend
You want a little respect
Then you're acting like a child on the introspect
Hiding on the wall side
On the dark side of the bed
You're playing in wigs now
All dressed in gold
That's no polish it's the life I'm told
These are the weapons of the war
It's the short skirt
It's the long hair
It's the long long legs you tell me you don't care
You want a little respect
Then you're acting like a child on the introspect
Hiding on the wall side
On the dark side of the bed
You're playing in wigs now
All dressed in gold
That's no polish it's the life I'm told
Maybe you'll answer, maybe you won't
So I keep on calling, cold calling your number, or maybe I won't
I want to see and hear, don't cover my eyes, don't cover my ears
We could have been a world
We could have been one
We could have been everybody trying to get along
We could have been a world
We could have been one
We could have been everybody drawn together
I'm waiting in silence, I'm waiting for you world
To come together
But I'm getting impatient and I'm getting worn down
For you to come together
I want to see and hear, don't cover my eyes, don't cover my ears
We could have been a world
We could have been one
We could have been everybody trying to get along
We could have been a world
We could have been one
We could have been everybody drawn together
You could have been listening, you could have been here
You could have been giving and you could have cared
It could have been good, it could have been great
Take a look at yourself it's not me that you hate
You can leave all behind or you can put it on line
Just put it on the line.
I turn the knife in the ground that lets me in
I watch the ground open up at let me in
I want the world to just let me win

It's only time that makes us change
The people round me don't know what to fear
They're petrified of change
Your a wreck no matter what
You come and see that she's the perfect shot
You pull the strings and make her puppet fly
Your fate can make her cry
And it's all for you
And no one told me what you want to hear
It's only time that makes us change
The people round me don't know what to fear
Theyre petrified of change
Of change
Of change
And no one told me what you want to hear
It's only time that makes us change
The people round me don't know what to fear
They're petrified of change
And no one told me what you want to hear
It's only time that makes us change
The people round me don't know what to fear
They pull the strings for change

I woke up and Mary was still gone
Thought if I stopped hurting she would come back
To me
Walk right through the door and say, "Ahhh huhhhh!
I was only joking - didn't you look silly crying!"
But I wake up and Mary is still gone
I looked at the clock and it was
Still
Lying on the floor exactly where I threw it
Both hands smashed against its silver face
My feeble attempt to stop
Time but time goes on
And I wake up and Mary is still gone
Chorus:
Mary was it necessary
To leave before the party
I know it's selfish to say
You always brought the cake now
What will I eat with all these tears?
I looked at the list and saw her name
Kick myself, she never got an invitation
Kid myself, I'm sure somehow she knew
My stupid attempt to find
Some way to move on
But I wake up and Mary is still gone
I'm animal
Can you get me out?
I could bite
Trust gets me out
And I'll fight with you
If you ask me to
I'll kiss you
I will never lose touch
Flood my open
Or otherwise we'll miss out
I'm animal
You devour me
And I can wait
But I don't like waiting
And so I wait
Cause you ask me to
I miss you but I
Will never loose touch
I don't like waiting
And so I wait
I miss you but I
Will never loose touch
You're my kind of girl
You could be
My inspiration still
And you fill it all
But I don't like waiting
But I wait here
Fllod me open
Or otherwise we'll miss out
You don't owe me anything
You dont owe me anything
Anything at all
How to give in to you
I dont owe you anything
I dont owe you anything

Everything you were

You take me higher than heaven
You take me deeper into hell
You take me higher than heaven
You take me deeper into hell
If you had forewarned me
then I would not have come
Said If you had forewarned me
then I would not have come
And it is far, we have gone to far
It's just a playground battle
and i'm gonna get myself into
It's just a playground battle
and i'm gonna get myself into
Yeah its a plaground battle now
Space cadet or space boy
One and the same
Sandcastle or sand toy
They're all just games
And the sky was on fire
I was burning up there
Ooo ho
And the world was alive
It's on top of that world
It's on top of that world
Yeah ha
Face pretends or fame brains
That all hide in shame
Figurines or mayor reigns
A young girl
With her arm outstretched
She saw everything
And my heart reached for her
The rush, the thrill
To my eyes, love included
It's taking time
I'm alone with you
You feel for me
A cry from the crowd
I forgot where I am
Belt wrapped around around my arm
The needle gone
Well it's complete silence now
As I drift away
Yeah it's complete silence now
I'm alone with you
You feel for me
Let's go
Well I hear children playing
But it sounds so distant
It's a chance I had
I don't regret it, no
If I've broken soul
I relive it
If I broke your heart
I regret it
I'm with you
You feel for me
how many times have I sat drinking my tea?
how many feelings are loose within me?
cant really hear what you want me to see
you come and go just exactly like you please
you dont give me no explanations
you dont give me any explanations
cosmic structures and I'm breaking down walls
I'm caught in a garden so I hide behind them all
I could be your hired help, you could fire me at will
and you will, yea you will
you dont give me no explanations
you dont give me any explanations
you just tell me your fears
so read me the letter I dont want to write
I dont want to hear if you'll stay through the night
I taught you to feel and you taught me to see
everything about you, is everything like me
I'm just like you, I'm just like you and your just like me
I'm just like you, I'm just like you and your just like me
so read me the letter I dont want to write
I dont want to hear if you'll stay through the night
I taught you to feel and you taught me to see
everything about you
I'm just like you, I'm just like you and your just like me
Well plastic bullets scratch my face
And broken nails scratch my back
I'm shaped by passion, enslaved by power
There's still enough for you to have
I stole what I already had
To have enough, to have too much
I learnt what I already knew
To know enough, to know too much
And give into me my honey god
Give into me
Give into me my honey god
Give into me my honey god
My honey god
It's only fair it comes to me
It's only fair it goes to you
We share it all around
But in the end it all comes back to you
It goes to you
Welcome to the circus you freaks
Come on in, come on in, come on in
My honey god, my honey god, my honey god, my honey god
Yeah come on in, come on in, come on in, come on in
She talked about the leaving
Now I believe her
She said she had her reasons
Now I believe her
Well I went silent man
I'll except it
And hold your temper
Cause I don't need it
There's nothing I don't know
At least as far as I'm aware
I I I I I I I'm aware
I I I I I'm aware
I've seen myself
Watch it all crash down around me
And I've had the taste that's gone
But I'm telling you it will be
Back, back, back, back, back, back
Ooo yeah
Ooo I I I I I I I will
I I I I I will
I will, yeah I will
I will, yeah I will
Yeah I will, yeah I will
Can I ever see you again, I loved the first time
But the second seems so far away,
Like it will never return.
I'll make excuses say what you want to hear.
Just invite me over and I promise I will be right
There. Yea I will be there soon
Would you like a glass of wine or maybe like to
Talk, We can start up where we left off
Just a couple of nights before
[Chorus]
We're all connected now, These two lovers
Hands in a warm and close embrace, We're all
Connected now
We'll sit on the couch holding hands
Do what you want to do
Yea whatever your plans,
And I'll be making plans with you.
Maybe your parents will come in,
You can introduce me, You can tell them
I am your new found friend,
We won't even have to pretend
Would you like a glass of wine or maybe like to
Talk, We can start up where we left off
Just a couple of nights before.
[Chorus]
When you fessed up, I fessed up with you
When you stood up, I stood along with you
And you know it's not easy being with you
But we're all connected now, There's two lovers
Hands in this warm and close embrace, We're all
Connected now. These two lovers hands in this
Warm and close embrace
More to Prove
I found peace in this dream
I found chaos in the calm
When the world has turned to nothing
Cos the crime has just begun
I found a witness suspected
And I came in undetected
In a governmental cover up
Yeah it's what I expected
Words are not enough
I need more proof
I could see through you
I need more proof
You've done your time
But I need more proof
I need more proof
There's so much more to say
And there's so much more to prove
I saw you drowning in fears
Well a crocodile's got more tears
And I sent a smoke signal wrong
To tell you I was coming home
Now I'm breaking your fall
Cos you said I'd always call
But I was lost behind the wall
Where I think I saw it all
Words are not enough
I need more proof
I could see through you
I need more proof
You've done your time
But I need more proof
There's so much more to say
And there's so much more to prove
I saw a passion in crime
Not given a fair trial
And I pulled the thorn from your side
I saw the smile in your killer eyes
I saw a city come alive
As a substitute for crime
And I was caught between the lines
In the silence no one finds
And there's more to say
And there's more to prove
And there's more to find out
Behind the truth
And the more you see
Then the less you loose
And there's more to say

Where we can live - live a good, good life
And be free.
Look how long: 400 years, (400 years, 400 years) -

Hear the children cryin'
But I know they cry not in vain
Now the times are changin'
Love has come to bloom again
Smelling the air when spring comes by raindrops
Reminds us of youthful days
But now it's not rain that water the cane crops
But the sweat from man's brow, the substance from our spine
We gotta keep on living, living on borrowed time
(Hallelujah time)
Yes, you can hear the children singing
(Hallelujah time)
As they go singing by and by
(Hallelujah time)
Oh, hallelujah singing in the morning
(Hallelujah time)
Let them sing, don't let them cry
Over rocks and mountains the sheep are scattered all around
Over hills and valleys they are everywhere to be found
But though we bear our burdens now all afflictions got to end somehow
From swinging the hammer, pulling the plough
Why won't you let us be, to live in harmony?
We like to be free like birds in a tree
(Hallelujah time)
Yes, you can hear the children singing
(Hallelujah time)
Yes, as they go singing by and by
(Hallelujah time)
Oh hallelujah singing in the morning
(Hallelujah time)
Let them sing, never let them cry
(Hallelujah time)
Ooh, Hallelujah singin' in the morning
(Singin' Hallelujah time)
