London i/ˈlʌndən/ is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom, the largest metropolitan area in the United Kingdom, and the largest urban zone in the European Union by most measures. Located on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia, its history going back to its founding by the Romans, who named it Londinium. London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its square-mile mediaeval boundaries. Since at least the 19th century, the name London has also referred to the metropolis developed around this core. The bulk of this conurbation forms the London region and the Greater London administrative area, governed by the elected Mayor of London and the London Assembly.
London is a leading global city, with strengths in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, professional services, research and development, tourism and transport all contributing to its prominence. It is the world's leading financial centre alongside New York City and has the fifth-largest city GDP in the world (and the largest in Europe). London has been described as a world cultural capital. It was the world's most visited city during 2011 and London Heathrow is the world's busiest airport by number of international passengers. London's 43 universities form the largest concentration of higher education in Europe. In 2012 London will become the first city to host the modern Summer Olympic Games three times.

Kimberly Noel "Kim" Kardashian (born October 21, 1980) is an American socialite, celebutante, television personality, model, actress and businesswoman. She is known for starring in Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the E! reality series that she shares with her family, and its spin-offs including Kourtney and Kim Take New York.
Prior to the development of her career as a reality television star, Kardashian gained notoriety as the subject of a sex tape that subsequently resulted in a court awarding her $5 million. She has been involved in the production of several lines of clothing and fragrances. In 2010, she was the highest earning reality star, with estimated earnings of $6 million, and is one of the most highly documented and followed celebrities in the world in popular media.
In August 2011, Kardashian married basketball player Kris Humphries in a widely publicized ceremony. In October 2011, Kardashian filed for divorce, 72 days after the wedding.
Kardashian was born in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of attorney Robert Kardashian and his wife Kris Kardashian (née Houghton). Her father was a third generation Armenian American, and her mother is of Dutch and Scottish descent. Kardashian has two sisters, Kourtney and Khloé, and one brother, Robert. She has stepbrothers Burton Jenner, Brandon Jenner, and reality TV star Brody Jenner, step-sister Casey Jenner, and half-sisters Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner. She attended Marymount High School.
Kylie Ann Minogue, OBE ( /ˈkaɪliː mɨˈnoʊɡ/; born 28 May 1968) — often known simply as Kylie — is an Australian singer, recording artist, songwriter, showgirl, and actress. After beginning her career as a child actress on Australian television, she achieved recognition through her role in the television soap opera Neighbours, before commencing her career as a recording artist in 1987. Her first single, "Locomotion", spent seven weeks at number one on the Australian singles chart and became the highest selling single of the decade. This led to a contract with songwriters and producers Stock, Aitken & Waterman. Her debut album, Kylie (1988), and the single "I Should Be So Lucky", each reached number one in the United Kingdom, and over the next two years, her first 13 singles reached the British top ten. Her debut film, The Delinquents (1989) was a box-office hit in Australia and the UK, and received generally positive reviews.
Initially presented as a "girl next door", Minogue attempted to convey a more mature style in her music and public image. Her singles were well received, but after four albums her record sales were declining, and she left Stock, Aitken & Waterman in 1992 to establish herself as an independent performer. Her next single, "Confide in Me", reached number one in Australia and was a hit in several European countries in 1994, and a duet with Nick Cave, "Where the Wild Roses Grow", brought Minogue a greater degree of artistic credibility. Drawing inspiration from a range of musical styles and artists, Minogue took creative control over the songwriting for her next album, Impossible Princess (1997). It failed to attract strong reviews or sales in the UK, but was successful in Australia.
(I won't be carried away, I say, I say...)
Yeah!
This is as weak as they come, this is as far as I'll
I'm growing ill with the cure, you're just as hungry
for more
I've exhausted all my caution
Breaking down is not an option
Haven't you had enough? Aren't you tired?
Well, this is where I draw the line
Haven't you had your fill of the empty?
Aren't you ready to sing, "I won't be carried away"
Good grief and give it a rest, my struggle never
relents
We'll never know what it costs, until we're too weak to
stop
I've exhausted all my caution
Breaking down is not an option
Haven't you had enough? Aren't you tired?
Well, this is where I draw the line
Haven't you had your fill of the empty?
Aren't you ready to sing, "I won't be carried away"
(I won't be carried away [x3] I say, I say)
I won't be carried away! [x7]
Haven't you had enough? Aren't you tired?
Well, this is where I draw the line
Haven't you had your fill of the empty?
Aren't you ready to sing, "I won't be carried away"
If the sky was always dark and grey
Never golden rays or happy days
Just living in a world of haze
If all the colors of the rainbow
Just faded by and when we died
No one cried 'cause nobody noticed
Oh, why,
Didn't we live this life
And see the light?
(CHORUS)
And see the sun set in the sky
The endless blue high
The clouds as they roll on by
The rich falling leaves sheltering me
Can't imagine it all black and white
You coloured it for me
(Oh, oh)
You coloured it for me
Take a look outside my window
See the ordinary people
There's not one different from another
And take a look a little closer
Each day they're growing older
Their life slips away and seems over
Oh, why,
Didn't we live this life
And see the light?
(CHORUS)
(Bridge)
Everyone who wants to see
Something more than what meets the eye
Everytime I open my eyes to find something beautiful
And see the sun set in the sky
The endless blue high
The clouds as they roll on by
The rich falling leaves sheltering me
Can't imagine it all black and white
(CHORUS)
If the sky was always dark and grey
Never golden rays or happy days
Verse 1
Ridin around with the windows down
Seein what we can see
You in the passenger seat, next to me
Bobbin along with your flips flops
Tappin to your favorite song
Singin and laughin, floatin free
We got no place we gotta be
Lets head down to the beach
It feels like one of those days
C'mon baby what do you say
Lets get carried away.
Chorus
Heyyy ooo hands in the air
Summer sun shinin on your long blonde hair
Hey ooo lost somewhere where time stands till
And all day caught up in the waves
Till the blue gets washed away by the sunset
Come on why done we get, carried away.
Verse 2
Blanket on the ground
Spendin all afternoon,
Doin what lovers do, me and you
Rollin in the sand, jumpin in the water
Workin on a tan, suns gettin hotter
Your salty kiss, I've waited all week for this
We don't even notice all the swimsuits and the shaded
It's almost like were all alone, gettin carried away
Chorus
Verse 3
Sun goes down the moon comes up,
Tide goes out, there's no rush
I've used every excuse in the book, look
Why do I choose to live this way?
I need a change.
(CHORUS)
I want You
I Want You
I want You
I want You
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
You're all I want

But all I want is the best
I'm gonna do my best to right my wrongs
It's what You want
And all I want is...
I want You
I Want You
I want You
I want You
There are things I wish I never did
My mistakes have become myregrets

If I want You I need to rely
On You for my life (for my life)
I want You
I want You
Here we go

Your love alone amazes me
Your love is more than the world has seen
More than anything
More than life itself

But everyday it seems I find

Could keep me in from Your love
From Your love
You're my Mystery
Yeah

You are everything

Double:
Welcome to the other side of SPs plugged in
That's how we get live, word to '95
When n*ggers was on the block, doin the cosmic slop
Anything to get herbed, sayin we done, that's absurd
It's more than makin the beat, it's more than rappin
It's more than gettin drunk, MCin, all the party folks clappin for real
What we doin, saved a lot of brothers lives
Including my own and eleven years you watched us grow
So to you, I sip the LA fitted
We still get it, like an outfielder
We stood the test of time
Been in both hemispheres, with passports and a rhyme
And anything non-funky gets left behind
Our time to shine is here, let me make that clear (It's the P, baby!)
All of y'all can stop, pass the wheel and we'll steer
Not a weekend fling, but some silly pass time
sh! t, I live this every day
I'm gettin carried away, hah!
I wanna get carried away!
Carried away...
I wanna get carried away!
Carried away...
I wanna get carried away!
Carried away...
I wanna get carried away-ay-ay-ay-ay!
Thes:
How we used to say, it's all good, right...?
It's like the late night music, with your favorite
Seein daylight rise on a cold morning
Slap in the face, like a life lost with no warning
You never ready
So many friends gone, some alive
Most drift, like a leaf in a strong breeze
Catch a lift on the memories, you uplift
The good times were a gift
Even enemies seem to have a purpose
Like the bomb, by the contrast of long last journey
You play 'em off now, Bernie
When I drink that, I think back
Try not to get jaded
So (?), like the first time faded
If you quit, now you let down the kids
The fresh sound amidst all this despair, economy and hate now
I need it more than ever, that's what Biz told me
Thes One and Double K, like Muno and Broby
We came to break it down, climb back inside the radio
Picked up by the DJ and carried away, so...
I wanna get carried away!
Carried away...
I wanna get carried away!
Carried away...
I wanna get carried away!
Carried away...
I wanna get carried away-ay-ay-ay-ay!
Carried away...
I wanna get carried away-ay-ay-ay-ay!
Carried away...
I-I-I wanna get, I-I wanna get carried away-ay-ay-ay-ay!
I don't take my whiskey to extremes
Don't believe in chasin' crazy dreams
My feet are planted firmly on the ground
But, darlin', when you come around
I get carried away by the look by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I'm on, baby, I'm long gone
I get carried away nothin' matters but bein' with you
Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day
I get carried away
It might seem like an ordinary night
Same ol' stars, the same ol' moon up high
But when I see you standin' at your door
Nothin's ordinary anymore
I get carried away by the look by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I'm on, baby, I'm long gone
I get carried away nothin' matters but bein' with you
Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day
I get carried away
I get carried away by the look by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I'm on, baby, I'm long gone
I get carried away nothin' matters but bein' with you
Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day
I get carried away
Carried away
Please stop me when
the sea I'm up again
its not enough
to say it once
i was carried away
i was carried away
i was carried away
and i've been carried away before
and you noticed
something darken in my eyes
the fox has broken
and the hounds are coming close behind
i was carried away
i was carried away
i was carried away
and I've been carried away before
even after they're gone, something pushes me on...
a new morning
and I darken for the door
a bad notion
has come over me and left once more
i was carried away
i was carried away
i was carried away
but I can't really say what for
i was carried away
i was carried away
i was carried away
and I've been carried away before
even after they're gone, something pushes me on...
i was carried away
i was carried away
i was carried away
Breathless home with excitement
I'll kick my shoes off
Get into the groove
Dancing I drift with my eyes closed
Hearing your voice again
Singing that stranger melody
I get slowly carried away
Slowly carried away
All day I can hear her calling
that woman I've never met
Keeps leading me on
I get slowly carried away
Slowly carried away
I get slowly carried away
Slowly carried away
I get slowly carried away
Slowly carried away
I get slowly carried away
Slowly carried away
I get slowly carried away
Slowly carried away
I'm told that it's evergreen
I've learned but never seen
I've laid awake all night
Just putting the whole world right
It's terrible but it's true
There you are
Shiny as a morning star
It's a figure of speech
But you're still out of reach
You never told me loving you
could be so wrong and right
And it's gonna be a lonely night
I turn to you
You turn away
You're looking at someone else
And here I am
Loving you more and more
We got an open door , my love
Oh let it be just a state of mind
And suddenly you appear
Chorus:
I'm carried away
I'm carried away
To be carried away
I'm carried away
C'est la vie
So you wanna play another part
Can you say goodbye
Can you live a lie
She'll never give you what I
gave you was my breaking heart
Better than I ever known
And if you can live without my love
You know you're gonna be alone
And here am I
Walking against the crowd
Calling your name out loud my love
Oh let it be just a state of mind
And suddenly you appear
Chorus:
I'm carried away
I'm carried away
To be carried away
And I'm carried away
Bridge:
Baby there ain't no final word
I'll be yours again
I got a world of tenderness
Yours until the end
Chorus:
I'm carried
I'm carried
To be carried away
I'm carried
There you are, shiny as a morning star
It's a figure of speech but you're still out of reach
You never told me loving you could be so
Wrong and right and it's gonna be a lonely night
I turn to you, you turn away, you're looking at someone else
And here am I, loving you more and more
We've got an open door, my love,
Oh let it be just a state of mind
And suddenly you appear
I’m carried away, I’m carried away
To be carried away, I’m carried away
To be carried away, I’m carried away
C'est la vie, so you wanna play another part
Can you say goodbye, can you live a lie
She'll never give you what I gave you was my
Breaking heart, better than I ever knew
And if you can live without my love, you're really gonna be alone
And here am I, walking against the crowd
Calling your name out loud, my love,
Oh let it be just a state of mind
And suddenly you appear
I’m carried away, I’m carried away
To be carried away, I’m carried away
To be carried away, I’m carried away
Carried away, baby there ain't no final word
I’ll be yours again
I got a world of tenderness
Yours until the end
Carried away, I’m carried away
To be carried away, I’m carried away
To be carried away, I’m carried away
To be carried away, I’m carried away
To be carried away
Carried away, I’m carried away
To be carried away, I’m carried away
To be carried away, I’m carried away
To be carried away, I’m carried away
You are the open door to freedom
You are the only hope I have
The reason in my reason
The only thing that lasts
How could I begin to settle
When all within me longs
To step into the shelter
Of Your everlasting arms
I wanna get carried away
I wanna get tossed by Your waves
I don't care where or how deep
I'm gonna jump in with both feet
I wanna get carried away
I wanna get lost in Your ways
I wanna be held by Your truth
I wanna behold all of You
I'm gonna be all Yours today
I wanna get carried away
You are the wisdom of the ages
You are the one who stays the same
The power in the wind
The scent left by the rain
How could I begin to make it
If all I had was me
Just take me as I am Lord
And sweep me out to sea
I wanna get carried away
I wanna get tossed by Your waves
I don't care where or how deep
I'm gonna jump in with both feet
I wanna get carried away
I wanna get lost in Your ways
I wanna be held by Your truth
I wanna behold all of You
I'm gonna be all Yours today
I wanna get carried away
And some say You're far away
But I know You're here with me
I could go anywhere
And still You'd be there with me
I know You're here with me
I wanna get carried away
I wanna get lost in Your ways
I wanna be held by Your truth
I wanna behold all of You
I'm gonna get carried away
I'm carried, I'm carried away
I'm carried, I'm carried away
I'm carried away, I'm carried away
When I first met Becky at the home of a mutual friend I'd've laughed out loud
If you'd have told me then I'd fall in love with a silly little girl
Who got carried away carried away with every little thing
Like for instance Becky would go crazy over fashions and fads and shriek with joy
And get overly glad and play the radio too loud all the time
And get carried away carried away when some big star would sing
But I loved sweet Becky even though she could make me so mad
Cause I knew darned well
She was the best I had and even when I saw she joined with the crowd
And got carried away carried away learnin' to do her thing
But I still loved Becky and I tried to make her realize
That the joys she found were sorrow and disguise
Pretty soon all the speed would addict
And she'd get carried away carried away and go too far again
When I first net Becky at the home of a mutual friend I'd've laughed out loud
If you'd have told me then I'd see that sweet little girl in an old gray casket
And get carried away carried away to hear the angels sing
Ironically enough
I've never been too good with words
I know it's absurd
But I can never find a perfect way
To say the things I want to say
If you give me this chance to let this kiss
Say all the things locked behind my lips
I promise I could sweep you off your feet
Let's you and me get carried away now
Carried away now
No holding back
We're on our way now
Carried away now
Let's see where this night will take us
There's no reason for us to stick around
I never want to come back down
Tonight's our last night on the ground
The funny thing about a kiss
Is that it's never enough
You can call on my bluff
But I am trembling from the taste of you
And I know that you must feel it too
If you give me the chance to let this kiss
Say all the things locked behind my lips
I promise I could take your breath away
Let's you and me get carried away now
Carried away now
No holding back
We're on our way now
Carried away now
Let's see where this night will take us
There's no reason left for us to stick around
I never want to come back down
Tonight's our last night on the ground
Let's you and me get carried away now
Carried away now
No holding back
We're on our way now
Carried away now
Let's see where this night will take us
There's no reason left for us to stick around
I never want to come back down
Words & Music - Graham Nash
copyright 1977, Thin Ice Music, ASCAP.
You came from out of the skies
Your skin and your eyes
The colours of bronze.
The moon in your ear
Twinkled and shone.
Soon you'll be gone.
Sailing out on the blue,
Your old man and you
Drifting along, leaving me here,
Thinking it through,
Soon you'll be gone.
Moving through my changes as fast as I can,
Trying to bring a balance to me and the man,
Part of me is screaming to say
I want to be carried away.
Your skin and your eyes
The colours of bronze.
The moon in your ear
Twinkled and shone.
Soon you'll be gone.

CLAIRE:
Modern man, what is it?
Just a collection of complexes
and neurotic impulses
that occasionally break through
OZZIE:
You mean sometimes you blow your top, like me?
CLAIRE:
I do.
I try hard to stay controlled
But I get carried away,
Try to act aloof and cold,
But I get carried away.
OZZIE & CLAIRE:
Carried away, carried away,
You/I get carried, just carried away!
CLAIRE:
When I sit and listen to a symphony
Why can't I just say the music's grand?
Why must I leap upon the stage hysterically?
They're playing pizzicato,
And everything goes blotto,
I grab the maestro's stick and start in leading the band!
OZZIE & CLAIRE:
Carried away, carried away,
You/I get carried, just carried away!
OZZIE:
And when I go to see a moving picture show,
And I'm watching actors in a scene,
I start to think what's happening is really so.
The girl, I must protect her.
The villain don't respect her.
I leap to her defense and knock a hole right through the screen!
CLAIRE & OZZIE:
Carried away, carried away,
You/I get carried, just carried away!
OZZIE:
I try hard to keep detached,
But I get carried away.
Try to act less booby-hatched,
But I get carried away.

Carried away, carried away,
You/I get carried, just carried away!
OZZIE:
When shopping I'm a sucker for a bargain sale.
If something is marked down upon a shelf,
My sense of what is practical begins to fail;
I buy one, then another,
Another, then another,
I buy the whole store out and I'm in business for myself!
CLAIRE & OZZIE:
Carried away, carried away,
You/I get carried, just carried away!
CLAIRE:
And when I go to see my friends off on a train,
Golly, how I hate to see them go.
For then my love of travelling I can't restrain.
The time has come for parting,
The train's already starting,
I hop a freight and in a flash I'm off to Buffalo!
We get carried, just carried a - way!
OZZIE:
Carried away, carried away,
We get carried, just carried a - way!
The two get so carried away that they accidentally destroy a dinosaur skeleton which has taken a professor 40 years to reconstruct. The professor and another cop join the ranks of those chasing the sailors.
Elsewhere in the city, Gabey is having trouble making human contact.
When all the lights are out
And it's hard to sleep
Then I start to dream
Of a place, very far from here
Where there's more to life
Than trying to make ends meet
And like a ship out on the ocean
Sometimes I just wish we could be carried away
Now, as the day winds down
This old wicked town Starts to lose its grip
Somehow, all the pretty lights
Make it look, tonight,
Much better than it is
And like a ship out on the ocean
Sometimes I just wish we could be carried away
And like a ship out on the ocean
Like the waves over the sea
Like the heat when the door is wide open
Sometimes I just wish we could be carried away
Last night I drifted down to the docks
The water... glittering and black.
The snow fell lightly and disappeared.
I felt the old ropes grow slack.
I thought I'd dissolve when the beacon revolved.
I just get so carried away.
Once I had a ship, yes I had a map
I had the wind like a tree has sap
I sank into these banks of clay
I get carried
Those rooms were freezing and always dark but where we were never mattered
Your head was golden
There was lightning in your arms and then the glass shattered.
It was noon at midnite.
The day that never ends –
The lamp it whispers and makes amends – everything was more than I took it for.
Come now says the clock
The sail has found it's wind
So I nod to my friends
And we begin
Another evening show
Finds me and I know
All I need to do is just
Give in
And ooh
I'm carried away
What more can there be
But people in a room
Singing unafraid
The same tune
I close my tired eyes
Take in what I hear
All those times of trying
Disappear
And ooh
I'm carried away
And ooh
I'm carried away
From this point of view
Staring out at you
Every wish I make
It comes true
It comes true
(All you need is right here in this room)
(All you need is right here in this room)
It comes true
(All you need is right here in this room)
(All you need is right here in this room)
(All you need is right here in this room, in background)
And ooh
I'm carried away
And ooh
I'm carried away
And ooh
I'm carried away
And ooh
I'm carried away
(All you need is right here in this room)
I'm carried away
Come now says the clock
The sail has found it's wind
So I nod to my friends
You're standing right behind me
I feel you breathing down my neck
I try to catch you, but you're gone
You whisper words that draw me
Into your web of influence
Your sweet illusion's like a song
You say my name
Like I'm the only game in this town
But just the same
You know you gotta stop hangin' around
(chorus)
'Cause I'm carried away
A full-on freak display
I've got so much to say
And you're never gonna get my crown
No you're never gonna shut me down
'Cause I'm carried away
You're such the fallen angel
You're such the villain in disguise
Tellin' dark and lovely lies
I dove right into your ocean
Tasted the salt of murky seas
I've seen beyond your mysteries
And I'm to blame
Thought I was the only game in this town
But you're so vain
That you're never gonna figure it out
(repeat chorus)
So carried away
I'm carried away, so carried away
Sticks and stones from your lofty throne
My soul's been set free
Somethings wrong with you I see
Your eyes have turned a shade of empty
In my arms you pushed aside
Wondered if you'd ever be
Alright again and try to fix
Whats goin on inside of you
There's no reason to be afraid
You cant blame yourself
For the worlds mistakes
Now its time to let it go
Look out, look in and realize
You always get so carried away
Theres times and things you can never change
Dont get so carried away
Even now you hide behind
Those imitations in your mind
Through every act
From the middle to the end
You have played the part as your only friend
You steal the rush
From the hands of time
And they'll never to catch up with you
There's no reason to be afraid
You cant blame youself
For the worlds mistakes
Now its time to let it go
Look out, look in and realize
You always get so carried away
Theres times and things you can never change
Dont get so carried away
You need to find out whats for real
And know how i wish you would understand
And listen
Look out, look in and realize
You always get so carried away
Look out, look in and realize
You always get so carried away
Theres times and things you can never change
Dont get so carried away
Look out, look in and realize
You always get so carried away
Theres time and things you can never change
Another hearse roll up slow,
Carry one more poor lost soul,
Carry them things every single day
Cause it makes him feel safe
Cause he carry on them ways, screw face
Love the game-reppin' his estate,
Talk tough look straight in his face,
Carrying deep pain self-hate,
Carry fam, so he carry weight,
It's logical daddy got carried away,
Not married away, just didn't stay
Coward carried his son to this fate,
His boys carrying weight in a wooden box can't stand straight,
They was getting outta the game,
But look fate she don't wait
Now the woman in the front row, her face t show no pain,
But her brain went insane on the day the news came,
Stare into space, face numb,
The boy getting carried, she carried 9 months
[Chorus:]
When this world strip me naked, I turn and
I face it,
And really believe I have the strength to change it,
I'm crazy, it's blatant sometimes I get carried away
When this world strip me naked, I turn and I face it,
And really believe I have the strength to change it,
I'm crazy, it's blatant sometimes I get carried away
One more body bag getting carried back,
From the war zone where they carry straps,
Where little kids is attacking tanks cause they carry no fear of the man,
All they know here is they land
And a hero, gotta make a stand,
So they roll cold with it in their hand,
Let bang on the big bad man,
But this particular soldier never move colder
Never enrolled to blow no homes up
Felt that life had carried him under
Chose to phone the number
The army gives you training,
Nothing they say could really explain it,
Sign them t papers, enslavement,
Now you're a tool to carry their hatred,
Rob, steal, strip a nation
All he wanted was qualifications
So he could carry his family places,
Better than those that he was raised in
Never really thought, he'd ever have to go to war,
Now who's gonna tell his kids daddy can't carry them no more
Since my heart is golden
I've got sense to hold in
Tempted just to make an ugly scene
No I'm not as proper
My money's in copper
Ripped down from the brownstones to the street
Listen, I'm your friend, don't quote me
But not a friend worth noting
Yes, please don't ever note me as your friend
Who says we have cold hearts?
Acting out our old parts
Dance before my favorite little scene, oh oh oh oh
I get carried away, carried away, from you
When I'm open and afraid
Cause I'm sorry, sorry 'bout that
Sorry 'bout things that I've said
Always let it get in my way
All your appeal, once again we'd feel
Higher education making sense
Justify your thesis, certain that you need this
Tell me what your point is in defense
Listen, I don't really know you
And I don't think I want to
But I think I can fake it if you can
Let's agree there's no need, no more talk of money
Let's just keep pretending to be friends, oh oh oh
I get carried away, carried away, from you
When I'm open and afraid
Cause I'm sorry, sorry 'bout that
Sorry 'bout things that I've said
Always let it get in my way[x2]
Wake up in the morning, wake up in the evening
Wake up when you want to
'Cause no one's really watching
Wish you had something to say about it
But we all have problems
We're all having problems
And we all got something to say
I get carried away, carried away, from you
When I'm open and afraid
'Cause I'm sorry, sorry 'bout that
Sorry 'bout things that I've said
I go down to the water! You meet me there
I get into the river! You carry me under
And I'm drowing in love the love You give
Realizing now I"ve got to die to myself to live
Sometimes I get carried away
Sometimes I get carried away
I get carried away
I kneel down at the mountain of doubt and fear
When I finally surrender, You carry me over
And I'm floating so high
In the hollow of Your hand
I feel the wind, I see the light
And I begin to understand
Sometimes I get carried away
Sometimes I get carried away
To a holy place
Sometimes I get carried away
Sometimes I get carried away
To the Throne of Grace
Carried away
Just a little taste of heaven
Carried away
Just a little taste of heaven
Just a little taste of heaven
There's so many people who told me about the world and
it's ways
I never believed them at first and I cursed 'em
i pulled myself out the wind yea
remember the man thats fights you and villians
remember the good old days?
we had a fight the night before we left
my head was being a mess
there is a hurricane within me
and it takes control of me
Did i let you in, Did i push you out?
you know i think i still love you
yeah you still make a sound
Did I let you listen, or did i sell you out?
you know i can't quite remember
what life is about, without you
can i steal your grace?
with all of the people in all of the world with you
theres always something to say
you never cared if i made it the minute of, lost and on
the same day
i had to stop when i was a fixerup oh with somewhere to
and now i know that it's just one soul you have to take
away
there is a hurricane within me
and it takes control of me
Did i let you in, Did i push you out?
you know i think i still love you
yeah you still make a sound, without you
can i steal you grace?
Did i let you in, Did i push you out again?
when i think i still love you
this feeling inside
did i let you listen, did i sell you out
you know i can't quite remember
what life is about, without you
Now Jim and Tammy Bakker there's a real earth shaker
Got popped for havin' too much fun
Started actin' kin of funny, spent everybody's money
But he got thirty years for his day in the sun, he got
Carried away, he's an excitable boy
Carried away, there ain't no coppin', no stopping when you're carried away
Now we all shouted reveille when my brother Stevie C.
Said the “S” word in a magazine
Now he shouldn't had a done it, but they shouldn't had a run it
Cause a little bitty think can cause a great big scene
Carried away, tryin' to speak his mind
Carried away, that boy was right on time
There ain't no coppin', no stoppin' when you're carried away, topper!
Well now you better be believin' when they open up the ceilin'
Baby, somethin'gonna hit the fan
Now brother I ain't lyin', we'll all commence to flyin'
And we'll land, ping ding, in the promise land and get
Carried away, you best believe
Carried away, we'll all commence to leavin'
Don't be scared to leave him
You've been sad all season
You should think of something to say
Maybe you could tell him
That from the day you met him
You've been liking him less and less
And things have got to change
Cause if they stay the same
You'll both get carried away
He might really love you
And be crushed by the news
Then you can take back everything you said
And if he feels the same way
Has been waiting to say
The same things, but on a different day
You'll go your separate ways
And all your days with him will fade
Or be carried away
Miles from nowhere
State of dreams
Nothing matters
Now it seems
I can't keep running, running, running from myself
I can't keep running, running, running from myself
I'm carried away, carried away, carried away, carried away
I'm getting nowhere
Lost in motion
Conscious stream
Thoughts are scattered
Still it seems
That we are weightless
Gravity has surrendered
You to me yeah
I can't keep running, running, running from myself
I can't keep running, running, it's getting hard to help me
Carried away, carried away, carried away, carried away
Carried away, carried away, carried away, carried away
Why don't I wake up
Am I gonna wake up
Why don't I wake up
Will I ever learn
Why don't I wake up
Am I going to wake up
Why don't I wake up
All I want is to learn
Carried away, carried away, carried away, carried away
Carried away, carried away, carried away, carried away
I'm getting nowhere
I'm getting nowhere
Why don't I wake up
I'm getting nowhere
Why don't I wake up
Why don't I wake up
Why don't I wake up
Once again
I lie awake at night in storyland
I'm slippin' away
Understand
Just to escape I run to hope
Still light years away
I'm sinking in the sand
I'm gonna take your hand
you gotta understand
I'm carried away
Your eternal flame
Don't blow it out
You gotta leave it on
I'm carried away
I'm finding my faith
Goes on and on
I'm really getting a carried away
Never fall
Into the world of someone calling out
A mirror inside
Is telling' me you're just a breath away from doubt
And you wake in the night
I'm sinking in the sand
I'm gonna take your hand
You gotta understand
I'm carried away
Your eternal flame
Don't blow it out
You gotta leave it on
I'm carried away
I'm finding my faith
Goes on and on
I'm really getting carried away
'Cos I can go on this time
In my way
'Cos I believe all my prayers
I'm carried away carried away
Your eternal flame
Don't blow it out
You gotta leave it on
I'm carried away
I'm finding my faith
Goes on and on
You're standing right behind me
I feel you breathing down my neck
I try to catch you but you're gone
You whisper the words that draw me
Into your web of influence
Your sweet illusion's like a song
You say my name
Like I'm the only game in this town
Oh, but just the same
You know you gotta stop hangin' around
'Cause I'm carried away
A full-on freak display
I've got so much to say
And you're never gonna get my crown
No, you're never gonna shut me down
'Cause I'm carried away
You're such the fallen angel
Yeah, you're the villain in disguise
Tellin' dark and lovely lies
I dove right into your ocean
Tasted the salt of murky seas
I've seen beyond your mysteries
And I'm to blame
Thought I was the only game in this town
Oh, but you're so vain
That you're never gonna figure it out
'Cause I'm carried away
A full-on freak display
I've got so much to say
And you're never gonna get my crown
No, you're never gonna shut me down
'Cause I'm carried away
So carried away
I'm carried away
So carried away
Sticks and stones from your lofty throne
My soul's been set free
I'm so carried away
A full-on freak display
I've got so much to say
