Charles Robert Darwin, FRS (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist. He established that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors, and proposed the scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection.
Darwin published his theory with compelling evidence for evolution in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species, overcoming scientific rejection of earlier concepts of transmutation of species. By the 1870s the scientific community and much of the general public had accepted evolution as a fact. However, many favoured competing explanations and it was not until the emergence of the modern evolutionary synthesis from the 1930s to the 1950s that a broad consensus developed in which natural selection was the basic mechanism of evolution. In modified form, Darwin's scientific discovery is the unifying theory of the life sciences, explaining the diversity of life.
Darwin's early interest in nature led him to neglect his medical education at the University of Edinburgh; instead, he helped to investigate marine invertebrates. Studies at the University of Cambridge encouraged his passion for natural science. His five-year voyage on HMS Beagle established him as an eminent geologist whose observations and theories supported Charles Lyell's uniformitarian ideas, and publication of his journal of the voyage made him famous as a popular author.
"The Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either openly or via sabotage.
The earliest recorded use[citation needed] of the term "the Man" in the American sense dates back to a letter written by a young Alexander Hamilton in September 1772, when he was 15. In a letter to his father James Hamilton, published in the Royal Dutch-American Gazette, he described the response of the Dutch governor of St. Croix to a hurricane that raked that island on August 31, 1772. "Our General has issued several very salutary and humane regulations and both in his publick and private measures, has shewn himself the Man." [dubious – discuss] In the Southern U.S. states, the phrase came to be applied to any man or any group in a position of authority, or to authority in the abstract. From about the 1950s the phrase was also an underworld code word for police, the warden of a prison or other law enforcement or penal authorities.
(Shut up)
For all the anguish,
And degradation
For every time I needed truth
And you were faithless
But disappointment, self-deprecation
But living a lie for fantasize and you could save me
I need my cross like a blanket
And misery is comfort
I can hardly stand to blame my self-fulfilling prophecy on you
And in the end I decided
I guess I felt I deserved it
I should kiss your dirty lips for bringing me my clarity
And how did you just make me see?
How your lies have buried me
But I forgive you
Lord I must forgive you
So I
I feel so high
Just let it go we would
I forgive you
Lord I must forgive you
So I
(Shut up)
For all the torment
Loss of independence
For disrespect, carelessness with my emotions
For all the screams I swallow
How a soul is hollow
For giving into temptation
For making me feel like a cheap replacement
And how did you just make me see
How your lies have buried me
But I forgive you
Lord I must forgive you
Cos I
I feel so high
Just let it go we would
I forgive you
Lord I must forgive you
Cos I
All the lies that I believed
And all the guilt you make me feel
Cos I forgive you
Lord I must forgive you
Cos I
Ohh I feel so good just letting go
You know I feel good now you're gone
Getting stronger, letting go
Getting stronger, I'm moving on
Getting stronger, I'm letting go
Getting stronger, I'm getting stronger
This time
I forgive you
Lord I
And how the truth does make me see
And how your lies have buried me
I forgive you
Lord I
I must forgive you
Lord I
All the lies that I believed
And all the guilt you make me feel
I forgive you
Cos I forgive you
Lord I must forgive you
Cos I
And how the truth does make me see
How your lies have buried me
I forgive you
Cos I forgive you
Lord I
I must forgive you
(This time)
All the lies that I believed
Guilt you make me feel
This time
I must forgive you
I feel so high
I feel so high
Cos it feels so good just letting go
I don't want someone telling me what to do
I don't wanna find out my temper grew wings
And flew to you
Don't want somebody telling me what's not right
But I just want you to love me
Oh I just want you to love me
I don't wanna have to lie bout what's inside
When there's always been a tiny part of me
I'm trying to hide
I don't wanna see your expression when I let you down
And I just want you to love me
Oh I just want you to love me
There's a haiku poem inside of my head
But the words are written in invisible ink
Now the world is changing
I can barely keep up
What was hot is over
What was down is not
Now Adam and Eve are trying to split up
And I can't take anymore
'Cause I just want you to love me
Oh I just want you to love me
Love me
The professor is building
Something extraordinary
From the first signs
Well I knew he would hide it from me
Clang, clang, rattle, and buzz
There's a helicopter blade
And a bit of a truck
He's got no more quality time
To be going on adventures
Spending mornings on black keys
Using the board
Or finding him in places
That have never been sorta brave
Origami full of grace
The professor is mad
And he's working a feverish pace
Diabolical delicious things
Something is bad
And it's something within me
Do you know?
Do you know?
What is he building in there?
Gotta know
Gotta see
What is he building in there?
Gotta know
Gotta be
Something destructively daring
Dastardly it's got the best of me
The professor is building
All kinds of devilish device
There's one part
With a singular bit of light
Bang, crash, glitter, and bug
There's a phonographic needle
And a stereo heart
He's got no plans to make an announcement
No preliminary sketches
Or advice to impart in me
One ounce of jealousy
Fifty-seven gallons juvenile delinquency
Super supremacy
I've gotta find an answer
Gotta fashion a skeleton key
Diabolical delicious deeds
Something's bad
And it's shrouded of secrecy
Do you know?
Do you know?
What is he building in there?
Gotta know
Gotta see
What is he building in there?
Gotta know
Gotta be
Something destructively daring
Dastardly it's got the best of me
(There are very few dimensions
Three...which we call the three planes of space
And a fourth
Time)
The professor is building
Something extraordinary
Behind bars
And a door he won't open for me
Kind words and the barrel of a gun
Will make him come to grips
Make him face up to what he's done
Do you know?
Do you know?
What is he building in there?
Gotta know
Gotta see
What is he building in there?
Gotta know
Gotta be
Something destructively daring
Dastardly it's got the best of me
Do you know?
Do you know?
What is he building in there?
Gotta know
Gotta see
What is he building in there?
Gotta know
Gotta be
Something destructively daring
You got God if you pay for it
You got sex if you pray for it
And those ever elusive weapons of mass destruction
You got Jesus with the palest skin
You had Lennon but you wasted him
I got sleeping pills that'll make you wanna call your mama
Everyone's keeping their love far away
Everyone's keeping their love far away
Keeping their love far away
Everyone's keeping their love far away
You got phones with 3D eyes
And you're lonely but you don't know why
Somebody just killed a man and I forgot to moisturize
You got AIDS in Africa
You got Paris in a new sports bra
You got therapists to justify your behavior
Everyone's keeping their love far away
Everyone's keeping their love far away
Keeping their love far away
Everyone's keeping their love far away
And I love drug companies
So full with generosity
I've something else to say
But it must have slipped my mind
It must've slipped my mind
So write another love song
And pretend that nothing's wrong
And if the feeling comes
Just call me in the morning
Everyone's keeping their love far away
Everyone's keeping their love far away
Keeping their love far away
Everyone's keeping their love far away
You step behind a curtain
In a moment you were gone
Nothing's ever certain
And it's hard to carry on
This is not what we planned
And I know its hard to understand
But if this isn't what you want then
If this isn't what you need pry my fingers from your hand
And maybe it's just meant to be
Maybe you'll find a way to haunt me
Come back and sing a melody to me
Maybe we're just lost at sea
Maybe I'm holding on to driftwood
And I'll be alright if you could
Sing to me
Sing to me
You step beneath the landslide
Nothing feels right when you're wrong
And try to find an upside
Try to sing without a song
This is not what we planned
And I know its hard to understand
But if this isn't what you want then
And maybe it's just meant to be
Maybe you'll find a way to haunt me
Come back and sing a melody to me
Maybe we're just lost at sea
Maybe I'm holding on to driftwood
And I'll be alright if you could
Sing to me
Sing to me
I keep seeing flashes of your hands
When I close my eyes
And I don't know why
And I don't know why
Help me make sense of what I don't understand
'Cause I've gotta know why
I've gotta know why
Tell me why do you sing to me?
And maybe it's just meant to be
That you would sing to me
Maybe we're just lost at sea
Could you come sing for me?
And maybe it's just meant to be
Maybe we're just lost at sea
Would you come sing for me?
Been spending so much time underground
I guess my eyes adjusted
To the lack of light
I got
Covered in darkness
Covered in darkness
I have been waiting
Always waiting for something new
Happiness has always ended
In the blink of an eye
There was no one attending
No one attending
It doesn't really matter where it all began
All I know
I got covered in darkness
Covered in darkness
Ever wonder why I never really truly connect
Although my eyes are open
I can hold your gaze
But I am never connected
Never connected
I am famous for my generosity
They say I am the kindest
But it is easier to
Give than receive love
Give than receive love
It doesn't really matter where it all began
All I know
I was covered in darkness
Covered in darkness
Turning pages over
Run away to nowhere
And it's hard to take control
When your enemy's old and afraid of you
You'll discover that the monster you were running from
Is the monster in you
Better to hold on to love
Better to hold on to love
Change will come
It doesn't really matter where it all began
All I know
I was covered in darkness
Covered in darkness
It doesn't really matter where it all began
Cuz all I know
I was lost
I was lost
No, no
It doesn't really matter where it all began no no
All I know
I was lost
I feel lost
Lost
I'm kinda reeling
A deja-vu feeling
We've been together
In another life
Got me extending
That network's ending
The future echoes
With your memory
Now darling, I don't know what the future will bring
But I am willing to sing 'til I drop
Now baby, I don't know how it happened to be
But when we met it was like future shock
Tell me what to do, me myself and I
It's gonna take a time machine
To get it right
And it's so cruel, I wanna take you home
I'm gonna speed those hands of time right up
So that I don't leave here all alone. Woo hoo!
The death of the romance
Thought there was no chance
Then you appeared right in front of me
I got to thinking
Loneliness sinking
I felt the cloudiness come over me
Now darling, I don't know what the future will hold
But I'm not willing to do as I'm told
Now baby, I don't care how it happened to be
But I know that my future's right in front of me
Tell me what to do, me myself and I
It's gonna take a time machine
To get it right
And it's so cruel, I wanna take you home
I'm gonna speed those sands of time right up
So that I don't leave here all alone. Woo hoo!
Did you ever get the feeling that the universe is leaning?
It's accelerating, it will never stop
Did you ever wonder if the number one divide by zero
Is infinity and if that's the case then what?
If imaginary numbers are abstractions of the real thing
Then could someone make the clock of time stop?
If we were always meant to be together like forever
Than it must have been a future shock
I don't know what the future will bring
But I am willing to sing 'til I drop...
What to do, me myself and I
It's gonna take a time machine
To get it right
And it's so cruel, I wanna take you home
I'm gonna speed those sands of time
Right up so that I don't leave here all alone
I don't know what the future will bring
But I am willing to sing 'til I drop (Gonna speed those sands of time right up)
Oh darling, I don't know how it happened to be
But when we met it was like future shock
What to do, me myself and I
It's gonna take a time machine
To get it right
And it's so cruel, I wanna take you home
I'm gonna speed those sands of time
It was a coal town. He spent his whole life in a hole in
the ground smashing pieces of earth.
He never really saw the sky.
It was a hard life. But little black rocks make the televisions
work and put food on the table.
Until the unions cast him aside.
Now there's a hundred challenging things a boy can do.
And you've waved goodbye and held more tears in
than anyone ever should.
And all my sorrows pale to insignificance.
That's why I love you.
She was in a strange land. She taught herself to read
from doing crosswords and hiding her accent.
She cast her dreams aside.
She had a spark in her eye.
She never saw her son on his wedding day.
Or our cherry blossoms falling down from the sky
Now there's a hundred challening things a boy can do.
And you've waved goodbye and held more tears in
than anyone ever should.
And all my sorrows pale to insignificance.
That's why I love you.
No coal mines.
No not a trace.
Now shopping malls take their place.
No picket lines.
The sacrifice.
Dreams overrun.
Hopes for a future for her son in Ollerton.
Now there's a hundred challenging things a boy can do.
And you've waved goodbye and held more tears in
than anyone ever should.
And all my sorrows pale to insignificance.
That's why she loves you.
A hundred challenging things a boy can do.
Wave goodbye.
Wave goodbye
A hundred challenging
Deep into the water
Deep into the dark
Deep into the places
Stories have to start
Peel open the layers
Go in for the kill
Bite into the onion
Taste it for the thrill
Got a fear of falling under
Underneath the dream
A fear of going too deep
Deep beneath the seams
A fear of falling under
Underneath the spell
A fear of opportunities
Secrets I won't tell
Reach into the top hat
Reach in all alone
Reach in for a rabbit
Come up with a stone
Searching for pieces
Pieces let me hide
Discarded moments
In the junkyard of my mind
Got a fear of falling under
Underneath the dream
A fear of going too deep
Deep beneath the seams
A fear of falling under
Underneath the spell
A fear of opportunities
Secrets I won't tell
What came first
Love, hurt?
Love, hurt?
Oh, what came first
Love, hurt?
Love, hurt?
Oh, what came first
Love, hurt?
Love, hurt?
Oh, what came first
Love, hurt?
Love, hurt?
One touch, spark, electricity
Flame, burns, hot and viciously
Microscopic, glittery
Catalystic energy
Time need glow so flickering
Scintillation, glittering
Ember heat so viciously
Pulsing flow
Electricity
(Touch)
There's an energy
Washing chemically over me
I can't take it anymore
Like my destiny
Running endlessly over me
You're the one I'm waiting for
(Touch)
You know that we are the sun and the moon, the stars
Every time we touch
You know that we are the light
And the universe has been changed because we touched
Lava, Sun flash, so brilliantly
Incandescent energy
White, hot luminosity
Phosphorus intensity
Radiate so vividly
Beam of light transmitting a wave of
Glowing, glimmering, shining flash
Every time we touch
(Touch)
There's and energy
Washing chemically over me
I can't take it anymore
Like my destiny
Running endlessly over me
You're the one I'm waiting for

Every time we touch

Are my lips unkissable?
Are my eyes unlookable?
Is my skin untouchable?
Am I unlovable?
Cynical, jaded, faithless, disappointed, disillusioned, used
If I could take back all my sweat, my tears, my sex, my joy I would
My time, my love, my effort, passion, dedication
In case of mistaken identity I gave these things to you
If I sound angry, bitter, sad, infatuated, it's the truth
Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, just a few
Stages of acceptance that it's really over
It's just so complicated and I'm stupid for believing in you
You make me feel like my father never loved me
You make me feel like the act of love is empty
Am I so unlovable?
Is my skin untouchable?
Do I remind you of a part of you that you don't like?
I had your back, I held you up, I told you you were good enough
It was not reciprocated, you kept affection and yourself apart
You fed your love to me like crumbs to pigeons in the park
Sometimes I think you're satisfied to see me begging like a dog
I wasn't armoured, you were king, I gave my everything
Because sometimes you showed me just a hint of you and then
For just a moment I romanticised the notion
I can take away the torment, I can love you like they never did
You make me feel like my father never loved me (you never loved me)
You make me feel like the act of love is empty (I felt so empty)
Am I so unlovable?
Is my skin untouchable?
Do I remind you of a part of you that you don't like?
You make me feel like my mother, she abandoned me (you abandoned me)
You make me feel like the act of love is empty (I felt so empty)
Am I so unlovable?
Is my heart unbreakable?
Do I remind you of a part of you that you despise?
Are my lips unkissable?
Are my eyes unlookable?
Is my sex undoable?
Am I unlovable?
Are my words unlistenable?
Are my hands untouchable?
Am I undesirable?
Am I unlovable?
You make me feel like my father never loved me
You make me feel like the act of love is empty
Am I so unlovable?
Is my skin untouchable?
Do I remind you of a part of you that you don't like?
You make me feel like my father never loved me (you never loved me)
You make me feel like the act of love is empty (I felt so empty)
Am I so unlovable?
Is my skin untouchable?
Do I remind you of a part of you that you don't like?
You make me feel like my mother, she abandoned me (you abandoned me)
You make me feel like the act of love is empty (I felt so empty)
Am I so unlovable?
Is my heart unbreakable?
Do I remind you of a part of you that you despise?
You make me feel like my father never loved me (you never loved me)
You make me feel like my mother, she abandoned me (you abandoned me)
You make me feel like my father never loved me (you never loved me)
I've been down a lonely street tonight
And I don't know what's wrong with me
I don't know what's wrong with me
The clouds cover up the Dublin sky
I don't know what's left of me
I don't know what's right with me
And I've tried to keep my distance
And I've sung Amazing Grace
I've tarnished all our memories
But there'll always be a trace of you
Of you
I remember laughing on that river's edge
Trying to get you to jump with me
Trying to get you to fall for me
And your trembling heart it beat so fast
Holdings hands you promised me
Holding hands we counted to three
And I felt your slipping fingers
And I saw you change your mind
If I hadn't dragged you in with me
You would have let me dive without you
Without you
They sent you all the way from Hollywood
And maybe that Dublin sky was changing you
It put diamonds in your eyes
I always thought we were going to make it through
But I wanted to hear it first from you
How many days am I going to regret you?
How many nights till I forget you?
Have I been wasting all those years?
Held down by these tears?
How many dreams have I left deserted?
How many hopes have been diverted?
Have I been buried in the dirt?
Held down by this hurt?
How many loads did I let you hijack?
How many ways can I stand here in playback?
How did I end up lying here
Crying underneath the Dublin sky?
How many days am I going to regret you?
How many nights till I forget you?
Have I been wasting all these years?
Drowning in my tears?
How many nights am I going to regret you?
How many days till I forget you?
Have I been wasting all these years?
I have been contemplating
Letting go of you ego
Thought I'd let you know
You're getting old
It was so irritating saving face
When I fell from grace
Thought you'd won a race
Without a trace
But you stayed
But you remained
But you..
It's always about you
I have been quietly edging away
To keep the flames at bay
Make this puppy stay
To limit my use of personal
Pro-nouns are the death of me
See I just said me
You're an endless see
The vanity is all for you babe
For you babe
For you..
It's always about you
I have been silently taking offense
And at great expense
As my feeling dent
I'm licking my scratches
It serves no purpose
Doesn't gratify
And you're dissatisfied
And though you're belly's full
There's always more room for you babe
For you babe
For you..
It's always about you
You teach me how to feel
It feels all right
There's nothing left to fear
Finding myself
The further I go
Towards you
You teach me how to love
Parts of myself
I hated for so long
Loving myself
Through loving you
I no longer live like a man in the dark
Hiding all the pieces of my broken heart
Way up high I'm holding on
Way up high I'm holding on to you
You teach me to forgive
It feels all right
Compassion for your pain
Compassion for mine
The circle divides
I no longer live like a man in the dark
Holding all the pieces of my broken heart
Way up high I'm holding on
Way up high I'm holding on to you
Way up high I'm moving on
You say one thing and there I go turning around again
Working things over better left unsaid
Spinning around in my head
Talking a moment
Too personally
I have told you just half the words
I've wanted to give you
Fear of rejection keeps my heart at bay
Feelings I'd rather not say
I'd rather have you close
Than never at all
But every now and then
When my world is closing in
I feel you breezin' through my mind
I can attempt to close my eyes
I can avoid the wrong or right
But something deep inside
Says my heart wants what it wants
Baby
Stay away
Do the right thing
I know I should run
But my heart wants what it wants
Baby
Stay away
Do the right thing
I know I should run
You know the heart wants what it wants
You do one thing and
Then I go
Always imagining
Reciprocating feelings that aren't there
Sometimes I think you're aware
Your body languge it gives you away
Maybe I should run
Turn my back
Head for the sun
Feelings left to come undone
Maybe you like what's goin' on
Deep down inside I know it's wrong
I know I should run
But the heart wants what it wants
Baby
Stay away
Do the right thing
I know I should run
But my heart wants what it wants
Baby
Stay away
Do the right thing
I know I should run
You know the heart wants what it wants
It's not even a love affair
I'm makin' plans with the ghost of what was there
I've become a desperate fool
And it's all because of you
Baby
Stay away
Do the right thing
I know I should run
But my heart wants what it wants
Baby
Stay away
Do the right thing
I know I should run
You know the heart wants what it wants
Baby
Stay away
Do the right thing
I know I should run
But my heart wants what it wants
Baby
Stay away
Do the right thing baby
Because the heart wants
What the heart needs
Can the heart get
I've got a burning desire
It feels like a fire burning deep in my soul
You know its out of control
I feel the temperature rising
I think I'm capsizing
Going out of my brain
I think I'm going insane
I wanna be the crick in your neck, trip in your step
Face in the crowd that you never forget
You're never gonna get rid of me
Have to be removed forcibly
I made it my mission tonight
Scoping your vibe
Getting some digits in the 4 1 5
Don't want someone to make love to me
I Just friends and then well see
Right Dead Back On It

And you just keep me holding on

Gimme a taste of what's to come
Give me a medicine
Teach me a lesson, maybe I deserve to know
Cut me down to size and paralyze me
With the contents of your pretty little head
Gimme somewhere else to go
Give me one thing
Tell me something I don't really need to know
I am so afraid of breaking what we made
It is delicate and lovely
But it's a weight above me
And your words are like weapons
But you'll keep them inside
They cut like a knife
And you keep it together
Those feelings inside
There's nowhere to hide but away from me
And I just wanna listen to your words
I'd like to step into your world
Show me a secret
I promise to keep it safe and sheltered from the storm
I would cross the great divide that keeps me swimming
Treading water from your shore
Now I wanna coax you from your hell
Into an alley, the hidden valley
Where the truth can surely spill
I wanna take the weight that drags you to the ground
Spare this treasure that I found
But your words are like weapons
But you'll keep them inside
They cut like a knife
And you keep it together
Those feelings inside
There's nowhere to hide but away from me
And I just wanna listen...
There's a lock, someone's stolen the key
They took it away from me
Somewhere that noone can read ya
I see a bible
I see a bible in your eyes
All those codes and hidden meanings
Full of metaphor
and something for the faithless in me
But your words are like weapons
But you'll keep them inside
They cut like a knife
And you keep it together
Those feelings inside
There's nowhere to hide
And your words are like weapons
But you'll keep them inside
They cut like a knife
And you keep it together
Those feelings inside
There's nowhere to hide but away from me
I have been angry for so long now
I let you know
Shoulda walked away when I was young
I let you go
I turned away but maybe I was wrong
I've been polishing blame for so long now
My pride enjoy
A bit tragedy never hurt somehow
This man become a boy
You take the blame but maybe I was wrong
Walk away now and be gone
You don't have to want to go on
I can see its killing you
You don't always have to be so strong for me
Every angel had dirty hands
Even Judas planned to just carry on
Just picking up the pieces
Of what lies behind those sorrowful lies
You can walk away
You have been silent for so long
I let the world now
I turned a bit of my pain into a song
And carried on
You took a bit of my shame but maybe that was wrong
Walk away now and be gone
You don't have to want to go on
Even when they're killing you
You don't always have to be so strong for me
Every angel had dirty hands
Even Judas planned to just carry on
Just picking up the pieces
Of what lies behind those sorrowful lies
You can walk away
Now and be strong
I know you can carry on
Walk away now and be gone
You don't have to want to carry
All the pain inside you
Cause the blood in me is the your blood every time I fall
Walk away now and be gone
Even when its killing you
You don't always have to be so strong for me
Walk away now and be gone
'Cause you know even Judas planned to just carry on
Just picking up the pieces
Of what lies behind those sorrowful lies
You can walk away
Now and be strong
You don't have to carry on
Walk away now and be strong
You don't have to want to go on
Walk away now and be strong
You don't have to want to go on
Walk away
Walk away now
Walk away now
You don't have to go on
You don't have to be strong
Walk away now
I've seen so many faces
These hands have lied before
I've kissed so many lips it's blocked my mind
I've whispered bullshit, nothings
I've cried alone in night
I thought I'd found the one a million times
But doesn't anyone fill the void?
Doesn't anyone kill the joy?
Doesn't anyone take the place of you in my heart?
And doesn't anyone fill the void?
Doesn't anyone kill the joy?
Doesn't anyone take the place of you?
I let a stranger love me
I gave away my pride
I bit my lips, so I could block my mind
I've called your name to others
Just like a spinal chord
Severed and broken but the spark still tries
And doesn't anyone fill the void?
Doesn't anyone kill the joy?
Doesn't anyone take the place of you in my heart?
Doesn't anyone fill the void?
Doesn't anyone kill the noise?
Doesn't anyone take the place of you?
They don't know you like I do
They don't see the good inside you
They don't lie with you in bed and join you when you're dreaming
They don't see your softer side
Who'll be there to turn your light on?
Who will try to wash away the stain that love has left us?
Doesn't anyone fill the void?
Doesn't anyone kill the joy?
Doesn't anyone kill the place of you in my heart?
Doesn't anyone bring the noise?
Doesn't anyone kill the joy?
Oh...
It won't be long before your train arrives at rainy Waterloo.
It won't be long before you're leaving-
You're leaving.
And I'm jealous of your shoes, they take you step by step away from me.
I'm jealous of this railway station-
Does that make me crazy?
And my worn out love-
Like the worn out strings on my favorite guitar.
And I'm all out of words to make it better.
There'll be no one to fight with now, you're leaving-
No one to believe in.
There'll be no one to dry your eyes at midnight,
On the doorsteps of London.
No more tender goodbyes,
No more wrong; no more right.
No more falling asleep to the sweetest lullaby.
La la la, la la la, la-
La la la, la la la, la.
I'm jealous of that dress that kisses you in places they don't see.
I'm jealous of the plane you're boarding, mmm.
And I despise the view from way up there that leaves me down below.
I can't believe you're really leaving-
Are you really leaving?
All my worn out love-
Like a worn out song on an old 45.
'Cause I'm all out of words to make it better.
There'll be no one to fight with now, you're leaving-
No one to believe in.
There'll be no one to dry your eyes at midnight,
On the doorsteps of London.
No more tender goodbyes,
No more wrong; no more right.
No more falling asleep to the sweetest lullaby.
La la la, la la la, la.
La la la, la la la, la, singing-
La la la, la la la, la.
La la la, la la la, la.
I'm jealous of the sun in distant harbors,
'Cause it will wake you first.
I'm jealous of the road you're walking on-
The road that takes me from you, oh...
It won't be long before her train arrives at rainy Waterloo.
It won't be long before she's leaving, oh...
There'll be no one to fight with now, you're leaving-
No one to believe in.
There'll be no one to dry your eyes at midnight,
On the doorsteps of London.
No more tender goodbyes,
No more wrong; no more right.
No more falling asleep to the sweetest lullaby.
La la la, la la la, la.
La la la, la la la, la, singing-
La la la, la la la, la, oh-
La la la, la la la, la.
Ohh...
Tie me up against the mast and shield the sunlight from my eyes
For I no longer can resist the haunting of her cries
They call me from the jagged rock
It was the sweetest melody
Like gold and honey dripping from the fingertips of God
I feel the wind against my face from the flapping of her wings
I feel the black and silky tenderness all choking me
But I can almost taste happiness
It's such a long way off
But I can almost feel your embrace
Above the siren's call
Now it's not beautiful or pure
But it exists beyond the shore
It struggles to be heard above the screeching of her call
Beneath my feet a rumbling
A hundred demons clambering
They chase away my harmony and make love afraid to call
They grow forever restless and as our ship sets out to sea no
They will not be silenced
Never for you or me
And I've een a hint of it
This happiness
This bliss
Just knowing it exists I know that I must try
And I've caught a glimpse of it
One moment just one kiss
From the corner of my eye
In a world so cynical
You came in and changed the ball
From black to white
And made me right
This is all atypical
No one else has had the time
To read the signs
You are the only one
No one else can keep me from
The danger of myself
You keep me stronger
You are the only one
And now I love you even more
Than I did before
I've got such a jealous side
Reaching out
I try to hide
My infant stride
And in my mind
This is all so prototype
Make it wrong to make it feel right
Don't deny it
'Cause you are the only one
No one can keep me from
The danger I possess
You keep me stronger
You are the only one
And now I love you even more
Than I did before
And when they make the call
For one last drink
When myself is dancing below
And when no one knows it
When the colors all collide inside
Well, I can barely hide
You are the only one
No one else can keep me from
The danger of myself
You keep me stronger
You are the only one
And now I love you even more
There is no other
No one else I place above you
You are the only one
And now I love you even more
Do you love me?
Or am I just another trip
In this strange relationship?
You push and pull me yeah
And I'm about to lose my mind
Is this just a waste of time?
Keep actin' like you own me
I keep runnin', watch me walkin' out that door
I hear you behind me
Gimme that strange relationship
Never felt pleasure and pain like this
Somethin' so right but it feels so terribly wrong
I keep holding on
Gimme that strange relationship
One of us gotta let go of this
I keep pushin' and you keep holdin' on
I'm already gone
Do you love me, yeah?
We break up and back together
And I swore to myself never
Oh how you do me yeah
You strip me of my honor
And I don't ever think I'm gonna
Break free of these mind games
All I'm tryin' to do is modify my plan
'Cause I can't contain you
Gimme that strange relationship
Never felt pleasure and pain like this
Somethin' so right but it feels so terribly wrong
I keep holdin' on
Gimme that strange relationship
One of us gotta let go of this
I keep pushin' and you keep holdin' on
I'm already gone
You keep actin' like you own me
I can't control me
You said, "You never really wanted me back"
Well maybe if that's a fact
May I suggest
A brand new plan of attack
And in the fizzle that you're hard to crack
You're way off track
I want you back, I want you gone
Maybe I'm sick of holdin' on
Do you love me, yeah?
Or am I just another trip
In this strange relationship?
Gimme that strange relationship
Never felt pleasure and pain like this
Something so right but it feels so terribly wrong
I keep holdin' on
Gimme that strange relationship
One of us gotta let go of this
I keep pushin' and you keep holdin' on
I'm already gone
Gimme that strange relationship
Never felt pleasure and pain like this
Something so right but it feels so terribly wrong
I keep holdin' on
Gimme that strange relationship
One of us gotta let go of this
I keep pushin' and you keep holdin' on
I'm already gone
Gimme that strange relationship
Never felt pleasure and pain like this
Something so right but it feels so terribly wrong
I keep holdin' on
Gimme that strange relationship
One of us gotta let go of this
I keep pushin' and you keep holdin' on
I'm already gone, I'm already gone, I'm gone
I know you keep your silence.
I know that secret better tha you.
Sometimes all the matters of the heart
Are the chaos and the cowardice that keep us apart.
I know you want to shut down.
I know you think we're better alone.
Sometimes all the words are unsaid
But you listen to them argue every night in your head.
Just breathe in and out.
Because all I want to do is just talk talk talk to you.
Please hear me out.
Because all I want to do is just talk talk talk to you.
I know that you've been pushed down.
I know you think we're better as two.
Sometimes well the miracle of love is meaningless
And clumsy like the beating of a heart.
Just breathe in and out.
Because all I want to do is just talk talk talk to you.
Please hear me out.
Because all I want to do is just talk talk talk to you.
Calling out.
Got to hear an echo got to get to you.
When I'm walking out.
All I want to do is just talk talk talk to you.
Well you can hide away your feelings.
And burn your bridges in the dark.
But I know you want to break through.
But we're worlds apart.
Just breathe in and out.
Because all I want to do is just talk talk talk to you.
Please hear me out.
Because all I want to do is just talk talk talk.
And I'm calling out.
Got to hear an echo got to get to you.
When I'm walking out.
What if I told you that your time was up
That as every second passes there's a moment gone
In 23 hours the sun was going to set forever
Would you hug a little tighter would you let go first
Would you focus on love and then forget the hurt
Live in the moment or wish your life away
How would you spend your last night on earth
Would you kiss your enemies
Say sorry first
Would you take enough time to say your last goodbyes
All the little battles that you never won
All the music and the opera never sung
Emotions that were silent all these years
You can't smell the roses when you're gone
You can't smell the roses
No it's not a rehearsal
You only got one life to make it right
You can't smell the roses when you're gone
So live every moment like it's the last night on earth
Because this is the last night on earth
What if I told you that I had regrets
I would trade in all my happiness for one last kiss
For a minute or two lying by you side
What if I chose the road nobody walked
If I honoured all my promises with empty talk
If I knew back then the things that I know now
I would tell you that I love you that we all get low
There are peaks and there are valleys but you've got to know
A second chance, it rarely comes around
You can't smell the roses when you're gone
You can't smell the roses
No it's not a rehearsal
You only got one life to make it right
You can't smell the roses when you're gone
So live every moment like it's the last night on earth
If I could have my time again
I would make sure you knew just how I felt
Because I went away for much too long
And the seasons changed without me
You can't smell the roses when you're gone
You can't smell the roses
No it's not a rehearsal
You only got one life to make it right
You can't smell the roses when you're gone
So live every moment like it's the last night on earth
As if it's the last night on earth
A serpent, a rabbit
A walk in the forest
A tentative looking son
A feeling, a moment
A bursting of bubbles
A panic to overcome
A samurai, an angel
An eloquent table
An AC that does not work
A road trip, a car wreck
A paperback novel
A lover who ain't been hurt
When you let me go
And I'm on my way
When the world below
Is cold and gray
On the verge of
On the verge of something wonderful
A resurgence
On the edge of something wonderful
For it, against it
Said he never meant it
But Harry still dropped the bomb
A trip to, the dentist
The Hollywood blacklist
A moment that time forgot
When you let me go
And I'm on my way
When the world below
Is cold and gray
On the verge of
On the verge of something wonderful
On the edge of
On the verge of something wonderful
You can dance in the devil's shoes
If you like walking in heels
And there's a decent living to be made
In the selling out of ideals
You can lose your way in the big city
Get distracted and lost in being pretty
I want you, I need you
I don't wanna please you
Or belong to anyone
But life is, for leading
For not people pleasing
A race that has never been won
When you let me go
And I'm on my way
When the world below
Is cold and grey
On the verge of
On the verge of something wonderful
On the edge of
On the verge of something wonderful
On the verge of
On the verge of something wonderful
A resurgence
Your love is a sonnet written on an empty shore
Sealed into a bottle and lost at sea.
Your love is an army trying to apologize
Your love is a soldier tired of war.
And all it could have been is like a symbol in the sand
And all our wasted love is like a language I don't understand.
But our love was perfect.
Pieces of a puzzle lying on the floor.
Beginning and ending
A story that continues never, evermore.
Your love is a whisper trying to become a roar.
Your love is a child crying out for more.
And all it could have been is like a symbol in the sand
And all our wasted love is like a language I don't understand.
Cause our love was perfect.
Pieces of a puzzle lying on the floor.
Beginning and ending
A story that continues never, evermore.
Cause I felt it
It cut deep.
It left a scar in my memory.
But your love was burned into me.
You've been hiding away
You've been hiding away.
And all it could have been is like a symbol in the sand.
And all our wasted love is like a language I don't understand.
But our love was perfect.
Pieces of a puzzle lying on the floor.
Beginning and ending...
A story that continues never, evermore.
(Never, evermore.)
Cause our love was perfect.
Pieces of a puzzle lying on the floor.
Beginning and ending...
A story that continues never, evermore.
(Oh...)
Our love...
(You've been hiding away)
Perfect.
(You've been hiding away)
Our love...
(You've been hiding away)
Perfect.
(You've been hiding away)
Our love...
(You've been hiding away)
Perfect.
I do not want anyone, anyone who really wants me,
Every one that I desire, wants to be with someone else. . .
I find it so amusing.
Isn't that the way it goes?
I'm a blip on someones radar
They don't even catch my eye
I want what I haven't got, even if it kills me trying.
I want her, she wants him, he wants me, I give in.
I want her, I want him, I don't want anything.
I started questioning, the rules of coupling.
This strip is mobius, it's never ending
Love and attraction.
It's like sex and passion.
It's two ends of a spectrum.
Are you a friend or a lover?
Now pick one or the other.
It's not easy to find, anyone who captivates me,
Anyone deserving time.
Must have somehow passed me by
Looking in the wrong direction.
She wants him, he wants me, I don't want anybody,
And everyone who wants me-
It's so amusing.
Love and attraction.
It's like sex and passion.
It's two ends of a spectrum.
Are you a friend or lover?
Now pick one or the other.
Everybody wants someone to hold.
Everybody wants to choose a role.
Ain't nobody willing to break the mold.
No hint of bravery.
Everybody is chasin' some ideal.
None of it obtainable, none of it real.
Everything falls between the cracks of
Love and attraction.
Love and attraction.
It's like sex and passion.
It's two ends of a spectrum.
Are you a friend or lover?
Now pick one or the other.
Love and attraction
It's like joy and sadness
It's like peace and conflict
You can chase them forever
Are they ever together?
Love and attraction
Love and attraction
Love and attraction
You can chase them forever
Are they ever together?
Everybody wants someone to hold.
Everybody wants to choose a role.
Ain't nobody willing to break the mold.
No hint of bravery.
Everybody is chasin' some ideal.
None of it obtainable, none of it real.
Everything falls between the cracks of
Love and attraction.
Love and attraction
Love and attraction
Love and attraction
You can chase them forever
The light, it flickers
Your light, travelling down so deep
Illumination
I have been cold, I have been blind
You have come to change my mind
I can put my faith in you
The light, it blisters
Your light, coming down so bright
Transformation
Turn it up, give me some room to grow
Turn it up, give me that sense to know
I have been cold, I have been blind
You were sent to change my mind
I can put my faith in you
For something ordinary
It's so extraordinary
I trust, I put my faith in you
In you
In you, in you
In you, in you
The light, it glitters
Your light, when I stand this close
It's almost blinding
Turn it up, give me some room to grow
Turn it up, give me the sense to know
I have been changed, I have become
I have flamed under the sun
I'm the reflection of you
For something ordinary
It's so extraordinary
I trust, I put my faith in you
In you
In you, in you
In you, in you
In you, you, you
For something ordinary
It's so extraordinary
I just, I put my faith in you
In you
In you, in you
In you, you, you
It flickers
It blisters
It glitters
In you, in you
In you, you, you
When moonlight crawls along the street
Chasing away the summer heat
Footsteps outside, somewhere below
The world revolves, I've let it go
We build our Church above the street
We practiced love between these sheets
The candy sweetness scent of you
It bathes my skin, I'm stained of you
And all I have to do is hold you
There's a racing within my heart
And I am barely touching you
Turn the lights down low
Take it off, let me show
My love for you insatiable
Turn me on, never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you insatiable
The moonlight plays upon your skin
A kiss that lingers takes me in
I fall asleep inside of you
There are no words, there's only truth
Breathe in breathe out, there is no sound
We move together up and down
We levitate our bodies soar
Our feet don't even touch the floor
But nobody knows you like I do
'Cause the world may not understand
That I grow stronger in your hands
Turn the lights down low
Take it off, let me show
My love for you insatiable
Turn me on, never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you insatiable
Turn the lights down low
Take it off, let me show
My love for you insatiable
Turn me on, never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you insatiable
Turn the lights down low
Take it off, let me show
My love for you insatiable
Turn me on, never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you insatiable
Baby, oh yeah
We never sleep, we're always holding hands
Kissing for hours talking and making plans
I feel like a better man, just being in the same room
We never sleep, there's just so much to do
So much to say can't close my eyes when I'm with you
Insatiable the way I'm loving you, oh baby, yeah
Turn the lights down low
Take it off, let me show
My love for you insatiable
Turn me on, never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you insatiable
Turn the lights down low
Take it off, let me show
My love for you insatiable
Turn me on, never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you insatiable, baby
Oh baby, when I'm looking in your eyes
Insatiable, that we ain't loving you
Ohh, looking at you insatiable, insatiable
For you insatiable for you insatiable
Love for you insatiable
Love for you insatiable
Love for you insatiable
Gimme a reason
Why I'm feeling so blue
Everytime I close my eyes, all I see is you
Gimme a reason
Why I can't feel my heart
Everytime you leave my side, I just fall apart
And when you're fast asleep, I wonder where you go
Can you tell me, I wanna know
Because I miss you
And this is all I wanna say
I guess I miss you, beautiful
These three words have said it all
You know I miss you
I think about you when you're gone
I guess I miss you, nothing's wrong
I don't need to carry on
Gimme a reason
Why I can't concentrate
The world is turning upside down
Spinning round and round
Gimme a reason
Why I now understand
The beauty and simplicity of everything surrounding me
You got a way of spreading magic everywhere
Anywhere I go, I know you're always there
It sounds ridiculous, but when you leave a room
There's a part of me that just wants to follow you too
Because I miss you
And this is all I wanna say
I guess I miss you, beautiful
These three words have said it all
You know I miss you
I think about you when you're gone
I guess I miss you, nothing's wrong
I don't need to carry on
It's such a hard life in most of the time
I'm just surviving
That's why I want you to know
In the world where sincerity has lost its meaning
You fill my world with so much hope
And I miss you
This is all I wanna say
I guess I miss you, beautiful
These three words have said it all
You know I miss you
I think about you when you're gone
I guess I miss you, nothing's wrong
I don't need to carry on
You know I miss you
And this all I wanna say
I guess I miss you, beautiful
These three words have said it all
You know I miss you
And this is all I wanna do
I know it doesn't sound too cool
But maybe I'm in love with you
You know I miss you
And this all I wanna say
I guess I miss you, nothing's wrong
I don't need to carry on
I just miss you
Yeah, it's true
I miss you, baby
And when you're walking out that door
I know I miss you
You make me wanna ask for more
I just miss you
Yeah, it's true
Somewhere inside my evolution
Karmically I seek retribution
Looking for love in physical beauty
Desire is the drug of the bourgeoisie
And now I try to intellectualize
Like a glimmer of good in a bad man's eyes
I am consumed by the flesh haunting me
I know temptation taunts the empty
So pour yourself over me
Until there's nothing left to see, yeah yeah
Because I like the way you move in the dark
I like the tension, the tension and the spark
The decadence of giving into desire
Creates such entropy within
Looking for love in spiritual faces
Blind to the art of fabrication
I'm like a baby sucking mama's milk
Want to drink my fill and then some
Leave me alone
I always thought I was better than this
But temptation tempts the temptee
Pour yourself over me
Until there's nothing left to see, yeah yeah
Oh, because I like the way you move in the dark
And I like the tension, the tension and the spark, oh
Because I like the way you move in the dark, oh
You know I like the tension, the tension and, the tension and the spark, oh
This physicality
Shifting me chemically
Such power over me
It's just desire
I know it's treachery (shifting me chemically)
I know it's just skin deep (such power over me)
I know I should resist
I'm just too tired
Too tired
There's just one thing missing
One thing missing here is
Love
I like the way you move in the dark
I like the tension, the tension and the spark (so pour yourself over me)
You know, I like the way you move in the dark (so pour yourself over me)
You know, I like the tension, the tension and, the tension and the spark
So pour yourself over me
(There's just one thing missing)
(One thing missing)
Until there's nothing left to see
(There's just one thing missing)
(The tension and the spark)
(One thing missing)
(So pour yourself over me)
There's just one thing missing
One thing missing
(So pour yourself over me)
(I like the tension, the tension and the spark)
(There's just one thing missing)
One thing missing here is...
If I have understood correctly
Velocity equals the distance traveled
Divided by time
I've read every word ever printed
On quantum physics
And now it is time to try
I read your book, I found your notes
I dusted this thing off and turned on
The key
The rumbling motors
The buzzing incredible gadgets
The hissing electricity
And now the moment has come
I'm traveling back in time
They're running down the hall
I've started the countdown
They want me to stop
But I don't think so
I'm ready to go
Let's get the job done
Beyond the paradoxical
All the lights are dazzling
Pass the planes, and trains, and satellite navigation
Pass the time I spent today
Through the nearest wormhole
In a stunning ball
Of white
The light explodes and lands on you
And you're five
Always running away
And I was dying to kiss you
And I
I don't want to cry
I don't want to see
Where the moving van takes you
So I travel on
Beyond the stars
At one hundred and eighty-six thousand miles per second
I can fly
Forward a few years
To nineteen hundred and seventy nine
I caught a glimpse of the sky
They're coming down the road
They're coming to get me
I never should have come
I hide the time machine
I'm running down the hall
I think I'm in my old house
Pass the place where I grew up
Number nine Lake Road
Pass the swimming pool
And Mable park
And past Troy Clifford's house
To the Argonaut (?)
To the fish and chip shop
Out the back and down the road
To the place I got beat up
Hey, put that rock down
Can't you see he's half your size?
Hey, he looks familiar
Oh my god, he's me, age nine
Put your shoes on
And run away from here
I can't get involved
This is all so weird
I'm meeting myself
This is all so clear
All the things I've lost
All the people I've hurt
All the times I lied
All the moments wasted
All I never did
All the dreams I had
All the things I would change
I can change them
All the things I've lost
All the people I've hurt
All the times I lied
All the moments wasted
I'm gonna make right
What I did wrong
And change how the future has come
Through appliance of science
I'll take a hold of my enemies
Take their obscenities
Kiss them, and leave them like lovers who've gone
I'll call my dad
I'll tell him I miss him
And tell my reflection: 'it's not your fault'
And now the moment has come
I'm traveling back in time
They're running down the hall
I've started the countdown
They want me to stop
But I don't think so
I'm ready to go
Let's get the job done
Put your shoes on and
Run away from here
I can't get involved
This is all so weird (It's me aged nine)
Let's get the job done
All the things I've lost
All the people I've hurt
All the times I lied
All the moments wasted
All I never did
All the dreams I had
All the things I would change
I can change them
Beyond the paradoxical
All the lights are dazzling
Pass the planes, and trains, and satellite navigation
Pass the time I spent today
Through the nearest wormhole
In a stunning ball

If you want something broke,
You better give it to me.
Got a way to disappoint
That you wouldn't believe.
I can take a good intention, turn it
I can make you pray to god
And wish we never met.
Nobody knows where this razor has been,
If you want something broken, better give it to me.
Cause I can make you hurt,
I can take you down so low,
I'll make you wanna cry,
I can make you say goodbye.
I can make you hurt,
I can take you down so low,
And then you'll know that, maybe,
You'd be better off when I'm not around.
You'd be better off with somebody else,
So put me back on the shelf.
See I'm the kind of person
Who can barely be loved.
Now that I love you,
I'm afraid it's too late.
If you get too close,
I'll only push you away.
Cause I can make you hurt,
I can take you down so low,
I'll make you wanna cry,
I can make you say goodbye.
I can make you hurt,
I can take you down so low,
And then you'll know that, maybe,
You'd be better off when I'm not around.
I was better lost before I was found,
I've got a history of misery
So baby listen to me,
Put me back on the shelf
And give this pain to somebody else.
Cause I can make you hurt,
I can take you down so low,
I'll make you wanna cry,
I can make you say goodbye.
I can make you hurt,
I can take you down so low,
And then you'll know that, maybe,
Outside confidence is king
I am all that you're projecting
Inside feel the rising tide
And the revolutions deafening
I was trying to hide my opposing side
Trying to reconcile my Jekyll and Hyde
Ladies and gentlemen listen up please
I don't want to be your hero
(No, I am not open parts of me are broken)
Do yourself a favor
Save yourself
Don't pick me find someone else
(Why'd you want to bother find yourself another)
Sometimes you put all of your desires in an object of affection
But in time because you idolise there is only disappointment
I was flying so high in your perfect sky
But I needed to fall cannot have it all
Ladies and gentlemen listen up please
I don't want to be your hero
(No, I am not open parts of me are broken)
Do yourself a favor
Save yourself
Don't pick me find someone else
(Why'd you want to bother find yourself another)
Ladies and gentlemen listen up please
I don't want to be your hero
(No, I am not open parts of me are broken)
Do yourself a favor
Save yourself
Don't pick me for someone else
(Why'd you want to bother find yourself another)
Don't need to compromise
I don't need to occupy the floor
There's a danger in boxing in my sin
And all that I am..
It's too much pressure
I'll only let you down again
(No, I am not open parts of me are broken)
It's too much pressure
I'll only let you down again
(Why'd you want to bother find yourself another)
Ladies and gentlemen listen up please
I don't want to be your hero
(No, I am not open parts of me are broken)
It's too much pressure
I'll only let you down again
(No, I am not open parts of me are broken)
Ladies and gentlemen listen up please
I don't want to be your hero
You will never get older and you will never feel pain
Or fill the room with laughter like you used to
And I won't hear you speaking or others call your name
In spite of this the world will still continue
And you will always remain in my heart forever young
Sun and wind won't change you and you'll escape the hands of time
And now your beauty won't betray you and your future's paved with gold
But in my mind you are suspended and you will be forever young
I'm a little bit hopeful that we all carry on
But part of me still thinks we're all just stardust
And from the highest mountain I went to make a sound
I thought that if I called out you would answer
But no one did
And you will always remain in my heart forever young
Sun and wind won't change you and you'll escape the hands of time
And now your beauty won't betray you and your future's paved with gold
But in my mind you are suspended and you will be forever young
I know the rules of the game
For every sunset the light has to fade
But baby a light like yours was so glorious

You and I
We got splintered
Cut in two like earth and the sky
I say a prayer
In the distance
And my faith in love will survive
My friends tell me
I should look around for somebody new
But they don't know you
They don't understand
The gravity of falling in two
'Cause I still fell you
Chorus:
You bring me love
You lift me up
And every time we kiss is like
God walking into the room
Forgive me, love
I can't give you up
Every time we kiss is like
God walking into the room
Can I make
A confession
I'm lighting candles for you and I
I pray for our love
Resurrection
And all the things we lost in the fire
My friends tell me
I should look around for somebody new
But they don't know you
They don't look into your eyes
And tremble like I do
Every time I see you
Chorus
I never felt this before
My sadness falls to the floor
Your love right into me like
God walking into the room
Like it's meant to be
You and I
We were splintered
Cut in two like earth and the sea
I say a prayer
There in the distance
No turn off the sun
take down the moon
for I don't need them anymore
go switch off the stars
and paint the sky black
love isn't ever coming back
there is no use in imagining a world without you
your love was like a drug I was addicted to
[CHORUS]
Cause there is nobody else who could hurt like you hurt me
I don't want to be lonely
and there is no other way
there's no joy
there's no meaning
just this hollowed out feeling
now all the loves gone
and nothing grows here
and I just feel wrong so black out the sun
and all the we shared will slowly disappear
there’s a hole where my soul used to grow so just black out the sun
No stop all the rain and poison the ground
love doesn’t want to hang around
go turn all the fruits into bits of wine
it was only sweet when you were mine
there is an emptiness inside of me
since you been gone
all the world has lost it's meaning
all my colors run
[CHORUS]
And nothing compares
how could it even dare
cause now that love's gone I want to black out the sun
Driving in your car
With the windows down
And the beat up stereo
Struggle with this town
Cuz you love to hate it
And hate it to let it go
And we're all alone
And so tired of being
Underrated
So don't take me home
Cuz I feel alive
When you come and save me
A yellow car
Speeding down the Southside freeway
We'll rewrite this movie
Make it end like we want it to
And Casey
When you go
Can you come and find me
Wanna be beside you
When you leave this town
I've been waving goodbye
Pretending not to cry
I want to be someone
If you take me away
All the pain will change
Into a memory...
Of when we were amazing
1989
Summer had hit
But it was not moving
What is it with this town?
Every time we win
It just feels like losing
We were never gonna fit in
I was a mixed up kid
And you were my sanity
In a yellow car
We don't even have to go far
Cuz that song you're playing
Sounds like peace on the radio
And Casey
When you go
Can you come and find me
Wanna be beside you
When you leave this town
I've been waving goodbye
Pretending not to cry
I want to be someone
If you take me away
All the pain will change
Into a memory
Of when we were amazing
When we were amazing
I know things will change
Casey stay the same
Take me away
Oh, we don't have to go far
Yeah, we don't have to go far
I know
Casey
When you go
Can you come and find me
Wanna be beside you
When you leave this town
I've been waving goodbye
Pretending not to cry
I want to be someone
If you take me away
All the pain will change
Into a memory
Of when we were
When we were
Casey
When you go
Can you come and find me
Wanna be beside you
When you leave this town
I've been waving goodbye
Pretending not to cry
I want to be someone
If you take me away
All the pain will change
Into a memory
Of when we were amazing
When we were
Driving in your car
With the windows down
And the beat up stereo
Oh, oh
I wanna
I'm gonna
I wanna
Be someone
I wanna
I'm gonna
I wanna
Be someone
(I will run to you
I will come to you
I will run to you
I will come to you)
Come on and get me
Come on and rescue me
(I will run to you
I will come to you
I will run to you
I will come to you)
Coming through the sky
Like a satellite
Like a radio wave
Darren Hayes - Bloodstained Heart
Love, You're in pieces
There's no one left to lay you down
Or say it's okay
On the worst night
Of the worst year that we might fall
We'll go out punching
You hit me like a subway train
And I will never be the same
And darling i'll follow you down to the ground
Even when you fall apart
I'll pick up your bloodstained heart
And darling i'll follow you down to the ground
In the gutter
Were you starless and blind to dreams?
We can dream each other
To a new day
Where the good guys always win
And heaven still means something
You hit me like a subway train
And I will never be the same
And darling i'll follow you down to the ground
Even when you fall apart
I'll pick up your bloodstained heart
And darling i'll follow you down to the ground
Love, when you're in pieces
There's no one left to dry your eyes
You hit me like a subway train
And I will never be the same
And darling i'll follow you down to the ground
Even when you fall apart
I'll pick up your bloodstained heart
Nobody told you
That a heart is like a deep, deep freeze
So many lies so much of it broken
Nobody told you
Deep within a well so cavenous
That maybe I could shed some light on
Who would have thought
It could be amazing?
Who would have thought
The tiny courageous?
Who would have thought
That love so belated
Could save me
And bring me back to you?
Nobody told you
There'd be days of silence that no one heard
A river swells and overwhelms you
And nobody told you
Deep within a heart so ravenous
That maybe I could spare a beat for
Who would have thought
It could be amazing?
Who would have thought
The tiny courageous?
Who would have thought
That love so belated
Could save me
And bring me back to you?
I had to find you, had to let you know
That you aren't all alone, yeah
We didn't make the rules
I had to find you, had to get right back
To you
I had to find you, had to let you know
That you aren't all alone, yeah
We didn't make the rules
I had to find you, had to get right back
To you, it's always been you
Now tell me
Who would have thought
It could be this amazing?
Now, who would have thought
The tiny courageous?
Tell me, who would have thought
That love so belated
Could save me
Hey there stranger
Do you remember?
You were a part of my life
Early December
Think I remember?
Sentiment cuts like a knife
The seasons are changing
Life's rearranging
Full of good times
Would have beens
Its all your fault
And whereve you been
And how time goes
And though I dont even know
How to fill in the spaces
of the love youve erased in my life
Are you where you wanted to be?
Did you get there easily?
Did I make you sacrifice?
Did you make a sharp left
When you should have turned right?
Are you whereyou wanted to be?
Did you sell off all your gold
Did you trade it in?
Did you wait for love
Or settle for somebody to hold?
And barely symphonic
But strangely ironic
Moments contained in one glance
Oh how i adored you
But now im ignored by you
Nowhere a tint of romance
And now its vaguely familiar
i think i remember sharing every single intimacy
It doesnt seem so strange to me that we barely entertained
Even the politest of phrases
But sometimes at night
I conjure you up in my mind
Are you where you wanted to be?
Did you get there easily?
Did i make a sharp left
When you should have turned right?
Are you whereyou wanted to be?
Did you sell off all your gold
Did you trade it in?
Did you wait for love
Or settle for somebody to hold?
While I was busy
Perfecting the art
Of deflecting compliments
I took it too far
And i let a ripple run right through my heart
Of battle stations we're building
You and i just grew apart
We grew apart
While i decided
To make everyone else happy
i just put aside
My foolish pride
I guess I denied
My own desire
I was too busy pleasing
To ever be pleased
I forgot how to breathe
Or question anything
Or ask why?
Am I?
Am I where I wanted to be?
Did i get here easily?
Did I make a sacrifice?
Did I take a sharp left
When i should have turned right?
Am I where i wanted to be?
Can i sell off all of my gold?
Can I trade it in?
Will I wait for Love
Or settle for somebody to hold
I'd settle for somebody to hold now
You know that ive been up and ive been down
ive been picked up and spun around
id do it all again
if i could just have somebody to hold now
I just need somebody to hold now
Could somebody hold me now?
I just want somebody to hold me now
I've been watching you from afar
And the way you make your way around the bar
You laugh like youre really entertained
And you smile like its your favourite game
Now youre moving closer to me
And our eyes have connected emotionally
Not looking for a one night stand
Or a place where a broken heart can mend
I know everybody here wants to hold you
I know what its like cause i feel the same
When you look in my eyes theres a part of me thats still afraid
And when you say you love me do you mean it?
Baby when you hold me do you feel it?
Should i believe the magic in your eyes?
I will wait until the end of time
To here you say you love me like you mean it
Baby when you hold me make me feel it
All i wanna do is make you mine
i've been hurt way too many times...
They say
If you wanna make god laugh
Then all you gotta do is tell him your plan
And i know that the timings not right
Didn't know i would meet you tonight
Its not that i don't really like the attention
i feel luckier than men in the room
Are you really sincere?
Is this just something that you do?
And when you say you love me do you mean it?
Baby when you hold me do you feel it?
Should i believe the magic in your eyes?
I will wait until the end of time
To here you say you love me like you mean it
Baby when you hold me make me feel it
All i wanna do is make you mine
i've been hurt way too many times...
Again and again and again i've been hurt my friend till the end
You know i've been high i've been low i got no place left to go
Again and again and again will this search ever end
And when you say you love me do you mean it?
Baby when you hold me do you feel it?
Should i believe the magic in your eyes?
I will wait until the end of time
To here you say you love me, do you mean it?
(oh baby when you hold me)
When you hold me make me feel it
Should I believe the magic in your eyes?
i will wait until the end of time
To hear you say you love me...
I want to thank you my friend
For making me feel worthwhile
Sweeter than the honey of your lips
and kindness in your smile
hand in hand we float across the room
Explosions deep inside
Cheek to cheek, there's clouds under my feet
There's only you and I
Please tell me what you like
Does that feel nice
Give me a sign
If you love it I can do it again
We've got the rest of the night to
Get it right
Please tell me what you like
If that feels nice
Give me a sign
If you love it I can do it again
We've got the rest of our lives to
Get it right
Lookin' back on lonely nights
Searching for love again
I never knew my journey began
And ended with you my friend
Softer than your butterfly kisses
And stronger than my desire
I wanna thank you my friend
For making me feel alive
Please tell me what you like
Does that feel nice
Give me a sign
If you love it I can do it again
We've got the rest of the night to
Get it right
Please tell me what you like
If that feels nice
Give me a sign
If you love it I can do it again
We've got the rest of our lives to
Get it right
I'll never mess it up again
Won't let it slip like grains of sand
Through careless fingertips because
I'm a man who understands
Though burned by the fire
I can learn to feel the light again and listen
I can hear your demands
I know I can do it give me one more chance
Baby here I am
Please tell me what you like
Does that feel nice
Give me a sign
If you love it I can do it again
We've got the rest of the night to
Get it right
Please tell me what you like
If that feels nice
Give me a sign
If you love it I can do it again
We've got the rest of our lives to
Get it right
Give me a sign
If you love it I can do it again
We've got the rest of our lives to
Listen, listen to me
This plane is gonna crash, it's only moments, you see
I never thought this could happen to me
I see my whole life flash, in a perfect vision
Look out the window and we're tumbling to the ground...
Tiny little flashlight's leading the way in the dark
Tiny little red light's leading the way to my heart
And when you're upside down, and smoke is in the air
And when you're falling apart
You see those tiny little flashlight's leading the way in the dark
Listen, listen to the roar
We're breaking up, we just lost engine number 4
And as we're spiraling and crashing into the sea
I find a kind of stillness, baby
Within the chaos, it's finally just you and me
Tiny little flashlight's leading the way in the dark
Tint little red light's leading the way to my heart
And when you're upside down and smoke is in the air
And when you're falling apart
You see those tiny little flashlight's leading the way in the dark
And we're all just spinning wheels
Have we lost our landing gear?
And we're all just spinning wheels
So there's nothing left to fear...
Tiny little flashlight's leading the way in the dark
Tiny little red light's making their way to my heart...
And when you're upside down, and smoke is in the air
And when you're falling apart
You see those tiny little flashlight's leading the way in the dark
Tiny little flashlight's leading the way in the dark
Daylight breaks, and the black birds call-
And the market stalls are filling up, spilling over the streets.
High above, over Notting Hill-
I am floating still, in a wooden chair, with our restless dog.
Been away so long, almost forgot how time and space
Cannot replace this feeling of flying over things.
Night falling away, your sleeping face begins to register
That I'm coming home- yeah, I'm coming home to you.
Oh the song that only we know,
Where the sunlight and the wind blows.
Over bluebells, over black-
Heed, call your name-
I will float through your window.
Major third, or a minor seventh-
And a violin tuned a little sharp, tuned a little below.
Come around a bend, the hallway ends.
The chair it dips, and then it bends-
And it has wings for legs.
Night, deep in a dream, the sheets and pillowcases
Seem to overtake your head.
Well, I'm at the foot of our bed.
Oh the song that only we know,
Where the sunlight and the wind blows.
Over bluebells, over black-
Heed, call your name-
I will float through your window.
Oh the song that only we know,
Where the sunlight and the wind blows.
Over bluebells, over black-
Heed, call your name-
I will float through your window.
Pray through the silence, the gulf that's between us.
Take all the heartache and we'll shake the fields up.
And we will unravel, unravel the moments.
And we will unravel, unravel the moments.
Oh...
Oh the song that only we know,
Where the sunlight and the wind blows.
Over bluebells, over black-
Heed, call your name-
I will come to your window.
(Oh the song that only we know,
Where the sunlight and the wind blows.)
I'll be calling your name
From the top of a church on a hill
To the tip of a dragonfly wing
From the shine off a hood of cab
To a shimmering diamond within on a ring
That was worn through two world wars
From a smile that soars though its old and worn
And two blue eyes forever seem uncold
The sun is always blinding me with her light
The day is always hiding behind the night
And wanting everybody to be alright
Go on blinding me with her light
From the glare of a red traffic light
To the blur of a bicycle wheel
From the flare of a camera lense
To a fluorescent light that ignites and displays
Someone leaving a goodbye note
From a pen made of steel and reflection of hope
And it took some words to serenade him so
The sun is always blinding me with her light
The day is always hiding behind the night
And wanting everybody will be alright
Go on blinding me with her light
From a fire that burns in the darkest well
Of a cave so enslaved
I can hear her yell, I can tell
This bird just wants to be free
So set her free
And if this world should ever leave you cold
The sun is always blinding me with her light
The day is always hiding behind the night
And wanting everybody to be alright
Go on blinding me with her light
The sun is always blinding me with her light
The day is always hiding behind the night
And wanting everybody to be alright
