New Order are an English rock band formed in 1980 by Bernard Sumner (vocals, guitars, synthesisers), Peter Hook (bass, synthesisers) and Stephen Morris (drums, electronic drums, synthesisers) – the remaining members of Joy Division, following the suicide of vocalist Ian Curtis – with the addition of Gillian Gilbert (keyboards, guitars, synthesisers). In 1993 the band broke-up amidst tension between bandmembers, but reformed in 1998. In 2001, Phil Cunningham (guitars, synthesisers) replaced Gilbert, who left the group due to family commitments. In 2007, Peter Hook left the band and the band broke-up again, with Sumner saying in 2009 that he no longer wishes to make music as New Order. The band reunited in 2011 without Hook, with Gilbert returning to the fold and Tom Chapman replacing Hook on bass. During the band's career and inbetween lengthy breaks, bandmembers have immersed themselves on number of solo projects, such as Sumner's Electronic and Bad Lieutenant; Hook's Monaco and Revenge and Gilbert's and Morris' The Other Two.
You know it never meant much to me
There's something on your mind that i couldn't see
It didn't hurt me too much to find
You were seeing someone else for all of this time
You know that i don't care
And i'd like you to know that i don't care
I don't need your sympathy
Why don't you ever look at me
You did nothing for me
You did nothing i see
You did nothing for me
You did nothing
There's no today and there's no tomorrow
Where you find sadness i find sorrow
Nobody knows but it always shows
I think i'm losing my mind but that's the way that it goes
And it's fine, all those lies
I can see the truth lies in your eyes
So i guess we are through
You did to me what i did to you
I don't need your sympathy
Cause you don't mean that much to me
Oh I've just come from the land of the sun
From a war that must be won in the name of truth
With our soldiers so brave your freedom we will save
With our rifles and grenades and some help from God
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you see
You just can't believe the joy I did receive
When I finally got my leave and I was going home
Oh I flew through the sky my convictions could not lie
For my country I would die and I will see it soon
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you see
When I walked through the door my wife she lay upon the floor
And with tears her eyes were sore I did not know why
Then I looked into her hand and I saw the telegram
Said that I was a brave, brave man but that I was dead
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you see
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you see
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
That's the way - Shellshock
Hold on!It's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating
You call me on the phone, you left me all alone
All I get from you is shellshock
Another day goes by and all I do is cry
All I get from you is shellshock
I'd tell the world and save my soul
But rain falls down and I feel cold
A cold that sleeps within my heart
It tears the earth and sun apart
But that's the way that I can win
A victim of your evil sin
You've lost the hold you've had on me
By causing the changes that you never see
Hold on! It's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating
When we walk through open doorways,
Counting time in one or more ways
We can't find our peace of mind
And life becomes a life of crime
And that's the day I call your name
I came to you, I called in vain
You lost the faith within your heart
The fire in your soul from the end to the start
Hold on!It's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating
I've been good and I've been bad
But common sense I've never had
No matter how I try and try,
I hide the truth behind a lie
But that's the way that I can win
A victim of your evil sin
You lost the faith within your heart
The fire in your soul from the end to the start
Hold on!It's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
You can walk, or you can run
You don't have to be someone
I went on a summer cruise
Upon an ocean born to lose
My brother said that he was dead
I saw his face and shook my head
Can you see where we can't be
We're losing our blood in the sea
'Cause it's the state of the nation
That's holding our salvation
Yes, it's the state of the nation
That's holding our salvation
Oh, the state of the nation
Is causing death inflation
Oh, the state of the nation
Is causing death inflation
From my home I traveled far
I drove in my stolen car
When it broke down, I kissed the ground
'Cause I don't kiss when you're around
I don't find that I have been
The portrait of an only son
If that's the case, then who could tell
Where my story had begun?
Cause it's the state of the nation
That's holding our salvation
Yes, it's the state of the nation
That's holding our salvation
Yes, the state of the nation
That's causing death inflation
Oh, the state of the nation
That's causing death inflation
Even now, I'm all alone
Behind a wall that's made of stone
I think about where we have been
And all the sights that could be seen
I know it all could be worthwhile
If only I could force a smile
Now we turn our backs to the sea
The shame of a nation we'll never be
Cause it's the state of the nation
That's holding our salvation
Yes, it's the state of the nation
That's holding our salvation
Oh, the state of the nation
Is causing death inflation
Yes, the state of the nation
It isn't what it used to be
I wake up every night
On the stairs
Waiting for the dawn to come
Every drop of wine
You can be my time
Only tomorrow knows
Why do we beg when we can borrow
This time we knew
No more or less
There's nothing left
It was always special
It was like water down the drain
I'm intoxicated
Every time I hear your name
I try to remember
But nothing is the same
It wasn't that I didn't try
It's not the kind of thing, that you buy
Written in my destiny
Life is but a dream
Covered by the sky
Stop saying that you're calling time
Look at your life before you start on mine
I'm not the kind of person that you need
I'm sick of trying
I mean that it's over
It was always special
It was like water down the drain
I'm intoxicated
Every time I hear your name
I try to remember
But nothing is the same
It was always special
it was like water down the drain
Patiently you wait for me
You're so blind
I thought it couldn't be
Then changed my mind
Drowning in the endless sea
Line all those lines
The traces of your memory
Hello, everyone, it's nice to be here
I've come so far to see you all
I can see your deep blue eyes
They sleep beneath the open sky
Before you stands one like your brother
Swear to God he needs no other
But how can I afford to be
Here with you so carelessly?
You know what you did was so unkind
You search for the life we need to find
There's right and there's wrong
And there's good and there's bad
And there's an answer to this
I wish, I had
Oh, you know what I mean
Yes you do
Oh, you know what I mean
Yes you do
Well, we had a party in our hotel last night
It ended up in an awful fight
My friend left me and my heart too
I hope, I don't end up like you
Oh, you know what I mean
Yes you do
Oh, you know what I mean
Yes you do
Your country is a wonderful place
It pales my England into disgrace
To buy a drink that is so much more reasonable
I think, I'll go there when it gets seasonable
You know what you did was so unkind
You search for the life you need to find
There's right and there's wrong
And there's good and there's bad
And there's an answer to this
I wish, I had
Oh, you know what I mean
Yes you do
Oh, you know what I mean
This can't be real
My heart is burning
How does it feel
Well let's say I'm learning
It had to come
The ship has landed
It's time to run
The crew are stranded
We're having the time of our lives
We're lost in a cruel paradise
Someone like you can make me feel like I used to do
Return my heart, yeah, make it feel like it does at the start
Someone like you, Someone like you, yeah
You're everything to me
The sweetest symphony
All that I try to be
You are my harmony
I guess what I mean to say
Is you keep the walls at bay
The children on holiday
Here comes the crowd
We're having the time of our lives
We're lost in a cruel paradise
Someone like you can make me feel like I used to do
Return my heart, yeah, make it feel like it does at the start
As I look at the morning sky
Today the wind is blowing hard
See that bird is floating high
Pretty soon it will be tired
I spent a day all by myself
A rich man without his wealth
Sometimes I get it wrong
But I'm not the only one
The afternoon was very clear
The sun was beating down on me
I got thirsty for a beer
That I had to go to sea
The sea was very rough
It made me feel sick
But I like that kind of stuff
It beats arithmetic
I don't want the world to change
I like the way it is
Just give me one more wish
I can't get enough of this
When it gets to be alive
And not just still survive
To hit and not to miss
I can't get enough of this
The early evening mists
Look beautiful to me
Was sweeter than a kiss
I wish you all could see
I'm a long long way from home
But this photograph of you
Even though it's monochrome
Tells me what I should do
So I got up on my feet
I knew it would be alright
For my clothes were looking beat
In the middle of the night
I don't want the world to change
I like the way it is
Just give me one more wish
I can't get enough of this
When it gets to be alive
And not just still survive
To hit and not to miss
I can't get enough of this
I don't want the world to change
I like the way it is
Just give me one more wish
I can't get enough of this
When it gets to be alive
And not just still survive
To hit and not to miss
I can't get enough of this
I can't get enough of this
I can't get enough of this
I can't get enough of this
I can't get enough of this
I can't get enough of this
I can't get enough of this
I can't get enough of this
I've been waiting to hear your voice for too long now
One way conversations do not work somehow
Tell me how does one get your soul in touch with the one above
When one way conversations pay a price for the use of love
I tried so hard last night you would not talk to me
I live with the fear of the few with the gift
And I know what's going to be
Why did you never speak my name in front of my family
You gave a gift that you then took away
Like you never did before
Your name might be God but you don't say that much to me
Your name might be God but you don't say that much to me
We might be your black sheep
But you forgot us a long time ago
We might be your lost sheep
But it's time you remembered us now
As we spend our days together, nothing can go wrong
No one told the truth about it because it was so strong
If you ever think of me, if you hear my name
If you read between the lines, you'll hang your head in shame
These ?? ears will never hear, the ice will never freeze
Whatever I have done for you I did because you complained
(Whatever you may think of me whatever you may say
I've lived my whole life in danger,
I like walking in the park
When it gets late at night
I move `round in the dark
And leave when it gets light
I sit around by day
Tied up in chains so tight
These crazy words of mine
So wrong they could be
What do I get out of this?
I always try, I always miss
One of these days you'll go back to your home
You won't even notice that you are alone
One of these days when you sit by yourself
You'll realise you can't shaft without someone else
In the end you will submit
It's got to hurt a little bit
I like talking in my sleep
When people work so hard
They need what they can't keep
A choice that leaves them scarred
A room without a view
Unveils the truth so soon
And when the sun goes down
You've lost what you had
What do I get out of this?
I always try, I always miss
One of these days you'll go back to your home
You won't even notice that you are alone
One of these days when you sit by yourself
You'll realise you can't shaft without someone else
In the end you will submit
You can walk, or you can run
You don't have to be someone
I went on a summer cruise
Upon an ocean born to lose
My brother said that he was dead
I saw his face and shook my head
Can you see where we can't be
We're losing our blood in the sea
'Cause it's the state of the nation
That's holding our salvation
Yes, it's the state of the nation
That's holding our salvation
Oh, the state of the nation
Is causing deprivation
Oh, the state of the nation
Is causing deprivation
From my home I traveled far
I drove in my stolen car
When it broke down, I kissed the ground
'Cause I don't kiss when you're around

Once in a while I need a friend
So why won't you let me recover
It's just a moment in your life
But sometimes we divide each other
Maybe we could find a time
Eliminate what's on your mind
We'd do everything we could
Our presence in the neighbourhood
We could break every rule
Anytime we wanted to
Don't be afraid to live this way
Lets defend the things we say
I want to be up in the air
I could be anywhere
Tell me I'm wrong, at least till tomorrow
Set me free and I will follow
Maybe we could find a time
To elevate what's on your mind
Recreate for me and you
A master plan just for two
We could break every rule
Anytime we wanted to
Don't be afraid to live this way
Lets defend the things we say
Elevate what's on your mind
Who saw those dark eyes
Who saw those dark eyes
These years gone by
Deep within
Burn my skin
All those years gone by
In the heat of the night
All those years gone by
Who felt those cold hands
Who felt those cold hands
Touch my skin
Deep within
Burn my soul
Fell to the ground
Where I was found
All those years ago
All those tears ago
All those years ago
Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody makes mistakes
Even me
Just be free
This is a place
Where in the end
It happens in
Our world within
Time to go
(Verse)
You've got a strange look in your eyes
Nothing to get and no need to lie.
And when the dust come howl at your door
You're not afraid, it's just the role.
It's not the way that I want to be
But I can't explain just how I feel.
Out of my heart and into my soul
You were the start and you are the go.
But it isn't funny the way that you talk about me
You know I can't change the way that you want me to be.
(Verse)
I don't wanna be on my own,
I can't get no sleep,
Things keep going wrong.
But the words inside my head,
They don't tell no lies,
We're hanging by a thread,
But still we gotta try.
Driving down the road,
Streetlights flashing by me,
I just gonna go, leave this world behind me.
I want to be free, to do what I do best,
I just gotta run, can't afford to rest.
(Chorus)
Something ain't right, I've got a feeling
Don't ask me why, but I've gotta leave here.
What can I do? Cause something it's changed,
I'm telling you, you're not the same.
(Verse)
Rain is falling down on my screen
Headlights on the road filling into scene.
But still my empty heart beats another day
I don't know where to start, I don't know what to say,
It's tearing me apart.
And all the time we had, there's no use looking back,
It only makes you sad, we've trimmed enough the track.
I'd say it to your face if you were here with me,
I'd put you in your place, cause you're not good for me.
(Chorus)
Something ain't right, I've got a feeling
Don't ask me why, but I've gotta leave here.
What can I do? Cause something it's changed,
I'm telling you, you're not the same.
There wasn't a day that I wasn't true,
You were the one that I thought I knew.
(Bridge)
You can't hurt me and you can't hold me
Why can't you see that you don't own me?
What can I do, something it's changed
I'm telling you that you're not the same.
People may come and people may go,
Every second counts
When I am with you
I think you are a pig
You should be in a zoo
I guess I should've known
I'd end up on my own
Every second counts when I am with you
Every second counts
Every little counts
When I am with you
You make me feel so good
I never felt so new
I saw you long ago
Though you never let it show
Every little counts when I am with you
Every little counts when I am with you
Every second counts
When I am with you
Even though you're stupid
I still follow you
The smile upon your face,
It always stays in place
Every second counts when I am with you
Old friend, what you doin' out there?
Come inside, sit yourself on that chair
It's been a long time, since the last time
of many burdons have passed through our hands
Not end today and day in to tonight
Do you know what i mean? i'm trying to say im sorry
you're the star in the sea, your not just anybody
there's a light in your eye that i can't seem to reach
over head, in the sky, is it shining on me? is it shining on me?
I've always knew, that you would not hang around
You and me were like the thieves of the town
too many girlfriends, but not enough love
too many late nights, and not enough sleep
strung out and wasted, no good in shape for
the life we tasted, there on the table
Do you know what i mean? i'm trying to say im sorry
you're the star in the sea, your not just anybody
there's a light in your eye that i can't seem to reach
over head, in the sky, is it shining on me? is it shining on me?
Open our heart, and deeds in our head, but most of the time, we stay in a place
if you go out there, your just up north,
(Verse)
Hey, you, what is the matter?
Tell me the truth, I won't laugh at you.
Where these words grew?
Were they unkind?
That guy's a fool, he's crossed the line.
(Chorus)
I'll stay with you
Till hell freezes over.
We're at to each other
Like sister and brother.
You're one of a kind,
High on my agenda,
Oh, I'll change your mind,
When will you surrender?
(Verse)
We never left in,
Your world felt unharmed
It cut like a blade
Right through your heart.
And where your friends
Just when you needed them?
They were not there,
Why did you believe in them?
(Chorus)
I'll stay with you
Till hell freezes over.
We're at to each other
Like sister and brother.
You're one of a kind,
High on my agenda,
Oh, I'll change your mind,
When will you surrender?
(Chorus)
I'll stay with you
Till hell freezes over.
We're at to each other
Like sister and brother.
You're one of a kind,
High on my agenda,
Oh, I'll change your mind,
When will you surrender?

Yesterday I got a letter
from my friend
fighting in Vietnam
and this is what he had to say:
'tell all my friends
that I'll be coming home soon
my time 'll be up some time in june.
Don't forget' he said
'to tell
my sweet Mary
her golden lips as sweet as cherries'.
And it came from:
Vietnam

It was just the next day
his mother got a Telegram
it was addressed from Vietnam.
Now mistress Brown she lives in the U.S.A
and this is
what she wrote and said:
'Don't be alarmed'
she told me the telegram said
'but mistress Brown
your son is dead!'
and it came from:

Somebody please stop that war now!

The harder they come
The harder they fall
A heaven, a gateway, a hope
Just like a feeling inside, it?s no joke
And though it hurts me to treat you this way
Betrayed by words, I?d never heard, too hard to say
Up, down, turn around
Please don?t let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I?ll walk alone
I?ll find my soul as I go home
Up, down, turn around
Please don?t let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I?ll walk alone
I?ll find my soul as I go home
Each way I turn, I know I?ll always try
To break this circle that?s been placed around me
From time to time, I find I?ve lost some need
That was urgent to myself, I do believe
Up, down, turn around
Please don?t let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I?ll walk alone
I?ll find my soul as I go home
Up, down, turn around
Please don?t let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I?ll walk alone
I?ll find my soul as I go home
Oh, you?ve got green eyes
Oh, you?ve got blue eyes
Oh, you?ve got gray eyes
Oh, you?ve got green eyes
Oh, you?ve got blue eyes
Oh, you?ve got gray eyes
And I?ve never seen anyone
Quite like you before
No, I?ve never met anyone
Quite like you before
Bolts from above hit the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Bolts from above hit the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Bolts from above hit the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Bolts from above hit the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Oh, it?s the last time, oh, it?s the last time
Oh, it?s the last time, oh, it?s the last time
Oh, it?s the last time
Oh, I?ve never met anyone
Quite like you before
Oh no, I?ve never met anyone
Some days you waste your life away
These times I find no words to say
A crime I once committed filled me
Too much of heaven's eyes I saw through
Only when meanings have no reason
They're taken beyond your sense of right
Small boy kneels, wandering in a great hall
He pays pennance to the air above him
White circles, black lines surround me
Reborn, so plain my eyes see
This is the reason that I came here
To be so near to such a person
We all feel the same
All pleasure nothing to gain
I've known you from the start
I've grown used to your wooden heart
Now you know my name
You search your empty brain in vain
If you don't change your ways
You'll end up here with me always
Without you they'll never know
Without you my life won't flow
Without you they'll never show
Without you the night won't go
Without you I'm left alone
Without you I'm on my own
Without you I lay in pain
Without you I've gone insane
Now you must decide
What good's a lie when you've nothing to hide
Marks they'll never show
They're dumb like you, they never know
It's time we said goodbye
Bury your head and silence your cry
Know the feel of pain
Join our world and play our game
Without you they'll never know
Without you my life won't grow
Without you they'll never show
Without you the night won't go
Without you I'm left alone
Without you I'm on my own
Without you my life's a waste
Just for you I wrap my face
Without you I'm left alone
Without you I'm on my own
Without you I lay here in pain
Without you I've gone insane
Whatever you may think of me
Don't ever take my dignity [x4]
Whatever you may do to me
In a manger like Christ I lay
Yellow fever, yellow hay
Feel the rhythm, sweetest sound
Making, breaking sacred ground
I'd give you a piece of my love for free
But whatever I say you'll never see
Acquire a taste for a different sound
Make or break it this side of town
Life will never be the same
In Port-Royal town, I hear it coming
The shaking of the ground
They're stealing in the day
In Port-Royal town, the children are running
Ever strange the lives we lead
So detached from the things we need
Signs of greed in everyone
Instant eviction and the blood on a gun
Just when you think you've found it
Spinning world I want to spin around it
What is wrong? This pain won't peel
I was standing by the ocean when I saw your face
I couldn't look at you
I guess you knew it but I never realized
That we were through
And now I'm down here all alone
With every feeling that I own
You can't take that away
And with every breath we take
And the illusions we create
Will come to you someday
And I was touched
By the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was
I never hoped to do the things in this world
I wanted to
Because everything I own
It belongs to you
I never looked at you in a sexual way
In my life before
And I've never woken up like this
So desperately before
And I was touched
By the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was
I was touched
By the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was
Touched
By the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was
I was touched
By the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was
Radio, live transmission
Radio, live transmission
Listen to the silence, let it ring on
Eyes, dark gray lenses, frightened of the sun
We would have a fine time living in the night
Left to blind destruction, waiting for our sight
And we would go on as though nothing was wrong
And hide from these days, we remained all alone
Staying in the same place, just staying out the time
Touching from a distance, further all the time
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio
Well, I could call out when the going gets tough
The things that we've learnt are no longer enough
No language, just sound, that's all we need know
To synchronize love to the beat of the show
And we could dance
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio
I stood there beside myself
Thinking hard about the weather
Then came by a friend of mine
Suggested we go out together
Then I knew it from the start
This friend of mine would fall apart
Pretending not to see his gun
I said let's go out and have some fun
I know you know
We believe in a land of love
I know you know
We believe in a land of love
I have always thought about
Staying here and going out
Tonight I should have stayed at home
Playing with my pleasure zone
He has always been so strange
I'd often thought he was deranged
Pretending not to see his gun
I said let's go out and have some fun
I know you know
We believe in a land of love
I know you know
When a new life turns towards you
And the night becomes a bay
We shall remain forever
Everyone who meets his way
Oh, our love is like the flowers
The rain and the sea and the hours
Oh, our love is like the flowers
The rain and the sea and the hours
When the rain falls to the sea
They'll be waiting for you and for me
And the sky reflects our image
Trying to sleep right through our lives
Oh, our love is like the earth
The sun and the trees and the birth
Oh, our love is like the earth
The sun and the trees and the birth
I am still here two days later
Same place, same time
And I'm stuck here two years too long
Same place, the wrong time
Oh, our love is like the flowers
The rain and the sea and the hours
Oh, our love is like the flowers
The sun and the sea and the hours
Their love died three years ago
I've watched your face for a long time
It's always the same
I've studied the cracks and the wrinkles
You were always so vain
Well, now you live your life like a shadow
In the pouring rain
Oh, it's called love
Yes, it's called love
Oh, it's called love
And it belongs to us
Oh, it dies so quickly
It grows so slowly
But when it dies, it dies for good
It's called love
And it belongs to everyone but us
I've lived my life in the valleys
I've lived my life on the hills
I've lived my life on alcohol
I've lived my life on pills
But it's called love
And it belongs to us
It's called love
And it's the only thing that's worth living for
It's called love
And it belongs to us
It's called love
Yes it's called love
Oh, love is found in the east and west
But when love is at home, it's the best
Love is the cure for every evil
Love is the air that supports the eagle
It's called love
And it's so un-cool
It's called love
And somehow it's become unmentionable
It's called love
And it belongs to every one of us
It's called love
Instrumental
I don't know if I told you, but I'm seeking sanctuary
You'll never guess the things that I do
I'll have the devil round for tea
Don't you know that I'm here beside you
Can't you see that I can't relax
When I saw you in my rearview
You could've stopped me in my tracks
I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
'Cos I'll be there for you when you want me to
You can take me to an island, ride across the stormy sea
We can worship pagan idols, there together you and me
Why don't you run over here and rescue me?
You can drive down in your car
Why don't we both take a ride and turn that key
We'll drive at 60 miles an hour
I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
'Cos I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
'Cos I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
'Cos I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
'Cos I'll be there for you when you want me to
Won't you please let me go
These words lie inside they hurt me so
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what I want to do
I'm not the kind that needs to tell you
Just what you want me to
I saw you this morning
I thought that you might like to know
I received your message in full a few days ago
I understood every word that it said
And now that I've actually heard it
You're going to regret
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what you want me to
You're not the kind that needs to tell me
About the birds and the bees
Do you find this happens all the time
Crucial point one day becomes a crime
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what I want to do
I'm not the kind that needs to tell you
I've lost you
I've lost you
This is a song about an innocent
Who died at the hands of a desperate man
He trusted those who he thought he knew
He trusted those who he looked up to
I'll never forget the joy in his face
He'd laugh and he'd cry and he'd ruin my place
He'd drive me crazy, and he'd drive me wild
I used to scream and shout all day long
Now I hope you know this song
Is about a child who now has gone
And other children like him, too
Abused and used by what adults do
So don't tell me about politics
Or all the problems of our economics
When you can't look after what you can't own
It doesn't take a genius
To tell me what I am
Or lecture me with poetry
And tell me that I can
I don't remember
What happened yesterday
But I don't give a damn about
What all those people say
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you've done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you've done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It don't take no Houdini
To tell me what I am
Parasites and literasites
They'd burn me if they can
But I don't give a damn about
What those people say
They pick you up and kick you out
They hurt you every day
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you've done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you've done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you've done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you've done
To find the truth inside yourself
It was January, 1963
When Johnny came home with a gift for me
He said, "I bought it for you because I love you
And I bought it for you 'cause it's your birthday too"
He was so very nice, he was so very kind
To think of me at this point in time
I used to think of him, he used think of me
He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise
I saw tears were in his eyes
He never meant to hurt me, oh God
Johnny, don't point that gun at me
There's so many ways our lives have changed
But please, I beg, don't do this to me
Johnny, don't point that gun at me
Can I save my life at any price?
For God's sake, won't you listen to me?
And though he was ashamed that he had took a life
Johnny came home with another wife
And he often remembered how it used to be
Before that special occasion, 1963
There was too many ways that you could kill someone
Like in a love affair, when the love has gone
He used to think of her, she used think of him
He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise
I saw tears were in his eyes
He never meant to hurt me, oh God
Johnny, don't point that gun at me
There's so many ways our lives have changed
But please, I beg, don't do this to me
Johnny, you keep on using me
Can I change my life for any price?
Oh Johnny, won't you listen to me?
He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise
I saw hatred in his eyes
But he never meant to hurt me, oh God
Johnny, don't point that gun at me
There's so many ways our lives have changed
But please, I beg, don't do this to me
Johnny, you keep on using me
Can I change my life for any price?
Oh Johnny, won't you listen to me?
I just want you to be mine
I don't want this world to shine
I don't want this bridge to burn
Oh Johnny, do you miss me?
I just want to feel for you
I will always feel for you
I will always feel for you
I will always feel for you
I see danger
On the corner sent by me
Shadows the ways
Straight away you ran from me
I heard you calling
Yes, I heard you calling
I heard you calling
Yes, I heard you calling
I hear silence
I hear silence in my heart (house)
From a distance
Turn your back and run (hide) from me
Heard you calling
Yes, I heard you calling
Heard you calling
Yes, I heard you calling
When it happens
You will be no friend of mine
Take the first chance
When I am no longer free
Heard you calling
Yes, I heard you calling
Heard you calling
Yes, I heard you calling
In the future
When you want me in your heart
I won't be there (help you)
If you call out in the dark
Heard you calling
Yes, I heard you calling
Heard you calling
Oh yes I heard you, heard you, heard you, heard you calling
Can you hear me deep inside
From these feelings I can't hide
Can you hear me deep inside
From these feelings I can't hide
Oh, can you hear me deep inside
From these feelings i can't hide
Can you hear me calling you
Can you hear me calling you
Can you hear me calling you
I don't know if I told you, but I'm seeking sanctuary
You'll never guess the things that I do
I'll have the devil round for tea
Don't you know that I'm here beside you
Can't you see that I can't relax
When I saw you in my rearview
You could've stopped me in my tracks
I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
'Cos I'll be there for you when you want me to
You can take me to an island, ride across the stormy sea
We can worship pagan idols, there together you and me
Why don't you run over here and rescue me?
You can drive down in your car
Why don't we both take a ride and turn that key
We'll drive at 60 miles an hour
I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
'Cos I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
'Cos I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
'Cos I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
Across the fence we see their face with eyes that tear with hate
Mad at nonexistent foes, hell should be their fate
The other side yells cries of fear, they tried to help, they tried to hear
But still they're dead without a head not even able to she'd tears
Lets go!
Like animals they gorge our flesh
Wanting land a bit more fresh
The cost is blood but they don't care
Their god is great, who needs to share
I will not take this anymore this thing has got to stop
Pick up your guns and aim them well, aim them for the top
Kill the lions! Skin the wolves! Hang their heads on walls!
Kill the bastards! Kill them kill! Until we're safe, us all
Lets go!
Like prey they pick us one by one
They want us to be dead and gone
Like mother bear protect we will
Even if we need to kill
Need to kill!
We will not stand by and watch
This demise of a civilization
There will be no more dehumanization
We take charge a new order arises
Arises!
I've kept my head against the wall
I've been this way for so long now
You weren't exactly falling over yourself
When last I saw you
Well I always thought
We'd get along like a house on fire
Until you told me that I'd have to go
How can someone like you work that slow
Whatever you think of me
You listen hard and I will make you see
Whatever you think of me
You listen hard and I will make you see
I don't feel anything no more
This state of grace is consuming me
I'm not grown up and I am not a boy
I feel no pain and I feel no joy
Well I always thought
We'd get along like a house on fire
In those days when the sun was warm
I ran in the street where I was born
Whatever you think of me
You listen hard and I will make you see
Whatever you think of me
You listen hard and I will make you see
The streets are so empty at this time of night
I'd rather walk on my own than fight
In a world where I'd forgotten you
I found myself forgotten, too
That's the danger of believing books
And all the lies of those thieves and crooks
We sing intellectual songs of love
What shall I say
I fear you will betray me
How many ways
Can you prolong this tragedy
Who told you that I would be back
You came here to seize my freedom
I will send you falling slowly
To the earth I see below me
You never knew
With open arms I came to you
Judging me so safe to be with
Mistakes you made that you can't live with
What you get is what you need
When you watch the blood but you don't bleed
You make me feel like a masked delusion
this is a instrumental song
Walk in silence
Don't walk away, in silence
See the danger
Always danger
Endless talking
Life rebuilding
Don't walk away
Walk in silence
Don't turn away in silence
Your confusion
My illusion
Worn like a mask of self-hate
Confronts and then dies
Don't walk away
People like you find it easy
Naked to see, walking on air
Hunting by the rivers
Through the streets
Every corner abandoned too soon
Set down with due care
Don't walk away in silence
Every time I think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine
But it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind
But there's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of the fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
Well every day my confusion grows
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say
I feel fine and I feel good
I'm feeling like I never should
Whenever I get this way
I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday?
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say
There is a secret place
Underneath a tree
Where if you go and haste
You will find a key
The key will open doors
And you will look inside
The things that you will see
Will open up your eyes
At any given time
On every other street
The city comes to life
Though everyone's asleep
A man beats up his wife
He doesn't wanna keep
Behind closed doors
They're in retreat
I don't know what makes me stay
The city life just ain't the same
There's something wrong with kids today
I blame the parents anyway
There's no hope
No one to trust
I can't cope
It's obvious
Please don't take my drugs away
I'm gonna give them up someday
There is a place somewhere
That I could call a home
I'd live without a care
I'd never be alone
One day I will get there
I feel it in my bones
I check upon the scores
I listen to The Coors
Behind closed doors
Behind closed doors
Behind closed doors
Behind closed doors
They still want more
Oh I don't know why people lie
And I don't know why people die
Every time I see you, you shout at me
'Cause of all the things in the world that I can't see
But what I think goes on in this world
For a mother and a father and a boy and a girl
Is that the more you earn, the less you learn
There's a fire in life where we will burn
And I never could believe it
And I never could be true
For the things that mean so much to me
Don't mean that much to you
And I never could believe
The way you told me I was wrong
If I'm right and you are sinful
Then for God's sake I was wrong
Oh, I don't know how I think this way,
And yet you sit there looking at me all day
There's more to you than I can see
There's a shadow of another hanging over me
But what I think goes on in this world
For a mother and a father and a boy and a girl
Is that the more you earn, the less you learn
There's a fire in life where we will burn
And I never could believe it
And I never could be true
For the things that mean so much to me
Don't mean that much to you
And I never could believe
The way you told me I was wrong
If I'm right and if you're sinful
Then for God's sake I was wrong
Oh, I'd tear you out of heaven
And I'd tear you out of hell
And I'd see your life in ruins
Because mine lies there as well
And I'd cry out in my loneliness
While you sleep in your peace
But you'll never see my face again
How does it feel to treat me like you do?
When you've laid your hands upon me
And told me who you are
I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard your words
Tell me, how do I feel
Tell me now, How do I feel
Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They'll turn away no more
And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
Just how I should feel today
I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasn't for your misfortune
I'd be a heavenly person today
And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard you speak
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now, how should I feel
Now I stand here waiting...
I thought I told you to leave me
While I walked down to the beach
Tell me how does it feel
Any kind of fool with the will to live
Tries to get it right with the one they're with
But even though I give you special treatment
You keep getting high juvenile delinquent
And this is how it feels to be
On the payroll company
Your every scene is in the round
And all the men are falling down
Constantly harrassed and misunderstood
I'm the 'lost and found' of the neighbourhood
And I am not a part of society
So don't get off the ground just be with me
And this is how it feels to be
On the payroll company
Your every scene is in the round
And all the men are falling down
I would brave the rainstorm in my car
Maybe you can leave but you won't get far
It wasn't just a dream it was much too good
Just another day in the brotherhood
And this is how it feels to be
On the payroll company
Your every scene is in the round
And all the men are falling down
And this is how it feels to be
On the payroll company
Your every scene is in the round
This is why events unnerve me,
They find it all, a different story,
Notice whom for wheels are turning,
Turn again and turn towards this time,
All she ask's the strength to hold me,
Then again the same old story,
World will travel, oh so quickly,
Travel first and lean towards this time.
Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown,
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time,
Watching her, these things she said,
The times she cried,
Too frail to wake this time.
Oh I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time,
Avenues all lined with trees,
Picture me and then you start watching,
Watching forever, forever,
Watching love grow, forever,
(Verse)
My cold heart needs some company
Shine a light in there, maybe I can see
Wild hostiles on an open frame
Sun shining when it could be rain.
(Chorus)
Give me all that I ask, some Californian grass
Bring it over to me, I want everything that I see.
We can stop at a grocery store,
Buy a thing for a few dollars more.
(Verse)
My hand, it shakes, my pulse is high.
And my complications I can't describe.
Cause your cold heart will break one day
So don't you throw this chance away.
(Chorus)
Give me all that I ask, some Californian grass
Bring it over to me, I want everything that I see.
We can stop at a grocery store,
Buy a thing for a few dollars more.
When routine bites hard and ambitions are low
And resentment rides high but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed, our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Do you cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed?
Get a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold
Is it something so good just can't function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
What am I gonna do
I feel like I'm on fire
If you only knew
That you're the object of desire
I keep hanging on, keep hanging on
And I swear by God that you're the only one
I keep hanging on, keep hanging on
And I swear by God that it won't be long
My aim is true
My vision is clear
My thoughts are crude
Whenever you're near
I keep hanging on, keep hanging on
And I swear by God that you're the only one
I keep hanging on, keep hanging on
And I swear by God that it won't be long
I keep hanging on
You've got a vicious streak
For someone so young
You're like solar flair
In the rising sun
I keep hanging on
I keep hanging on
I keep hanging on
One day it's now or never
To stay at home
Sometimes the dreams are better
One thing you hold
Believe that all these changes
Keep me alone
What brought the last reaction
I'll never know
I'll never know
I'll never know
Believe me, all I said to you
Believe me, all I did for you
All I did for you
All the times it takes to complain
But live in doubt
Sometimes they keep you waiting
For a look around
I've got a friend in here somewhere
Who can help me out
Believe me, all I said to you
Believe me, all I did for you
I wanna scream, I wanna shout
I wanna know what it's all about
I've seen it before but not like this
I saw your name, it was on the list
By 4 O'Clock (It's gonna change)
You were pretty high (It's gonna change)
Right on the floor (It's gonna change)
Looking at the sky (It's gonna change)
I remember you (It's gonna change)
When you were a kid (It's gonna change)
It was pretty strange (It's gonna change)
And things you did
You've got to pull yourself together man
You've got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
You've got the world right in your hands
No cold heart could turn away
And not be moved by what I saw today
There on the floor, thirty years or more
He doesn't care, he just wants to score
By 4 O'Clock (It's gonna change)
You were pretty high (It's gonna change)
Right on the floor (It's gonna change)
Looking at the sky (It's gonna change)
I remember you (It's gonna change)
When you were a kid (It's gonna change)
It was pretty strange (It's gonna change)
And things you did
You've got to pull yourself together man
You've got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
You've got the world right in your hands
You've got to pull yourself together man
You've got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
You've got the world right in your hands
Yet it only seems just like yesterday
We used to run and hide
Remember in the park where we used to play
The grass looked ten foot high
You've got to pull yourself together man
You've got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
You've got the world right in your hands
You've got to pull yourself together man
You've got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
We're like crystal, we break easy
I'm a poor man, if you leave me
I'm applauded, then forgotten
It was summer, now it's autumn
I don't know what to say, you don't care anyway
I'm a man in a rage (just tell me what I've got to do), with a girl I betrayed
Here comes love, it's like honey
You can't buy it with money, you're not alone anymore,
(whenever you're here with me),
You shock me to the core, you shock me to the core
We're like crystal, it's not easy
With your love, you could feed me
Every man, and every woman
Needs someone, So keep it coming
Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming
Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming
Keep it coming
I don't know what to say, you don't care anyway
I'm a man in a rage (just tell me what I've got to do), with a girl I betrayed
Here comes love, it's like honey
You can't buy it with money, you're not alone anymore,
(whenever you're here with me),
You shock me to the core, you shock me to the core
Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming
Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming
Here I am in a house full of doors but no exits
In a light that is grey like the stain on my windows
All of this is a gift, such a painful companion
Inside of me
It's just something I know, the answer's not there
It comes and it goes and it frightens me
It's just something I know, the answer's not there
It comes and it goes and it frightens me
This feeling inside me can't confront the decay
To fall down on my knees and resume this charade
Believe me, this distance, it's not what I need
Inside of me
It's another story, some of it is blurred
I tried to understand him, I tried so hard
Time worked so well upon us inside of me
Inside my soul, Inside my soul
Time worked so well upon us
Inside of me, inside my soul
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you mean to me
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you cannot see
You're hiding from feelings, searching for more
Sharing and hoping, untouched for so long
Our lives still change from the way that we were
And now I'll tell you something I think you should know
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you mean to me
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you cannot see
You cause me confusion, you told me you cared
He's calling these changes that last to the end
Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies
The past is your present, the future is mine
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you mean to me
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you cannot see
You tell me you need me, I'll make it this time
The thread won't divide us, the sensation survives
I was sure that I told you it was good from the face
You've caused me some problems, you've taken my place
instrumental
Nothing in this world
Can touch the music that I heard
When I woke up this morning
It put the Sun into my life
It cut my heartbeat with a knife
It was like no other morning
I don't belong to noone
But I want to be with you
I can't be owned by noone
What am I supposed to do
I can't see the sense in your leaving
All I need is your love to believe in
Don't look into the sun
It's not for me or anyone
To steal the light out of the sky
Is it really such a sin
'Cause if it is then I'll give in
I can't live without your love
I don't belong to noone
But I want to be with you
I can't be owned by noone
What am I supposed to do
I can't see the sense in your leaving
All I need is your love to believe in
And for you I would do what I can
My promise could be your fiend
A given end to your dreams
A simple movement or rhyme
Could be the smallest of signs
We'll never know what they are or care
In it's escapable view
There's no escape so few in fear
Give in a changing value
To be given your sight
Hid in a long peaceful night
A nervous bride for your eyes
A fractured smile that soon dies
A love that's wrong from your life and soul
A savage mine had begun
Hello, farewell to your love and soul
Hello, farewell to your soul
Now I know what those hands would do
No looking back now, we're pushing through
We'll change these feelings, we'll taste and see
But never guess how the him would scream
But never guess how the him would scream
Those steps which seem to take a lifetime
When eyes just turn and stare
The day begins, collapsing without warning
You fade from sight, there's nothing there
No hope allowed, calls are answered daily
Questions are on your side
Deeply moved, beyond all consolation
You felt the pulse, now hear the cry
In my mind, thoughts are becoming clearer
I'm watching every move you make
Counting time spent in observation
A single blow a false mistake
Then you revealed to me
All that I need to know now
(The close went down to times
too, too much behind us)
Then please don't turn away,
Why can't I talk to you now?
(The number of forgotten years
Where my honor isn't deepest
Grows the deepest feeling and it
Grieved for safety and despair)
There's nowhere left to go
Where is this taking her and how?
(The torish threats forevermore
Over our natural favor
And us and he's and I'll fall
Far in it, and it sees enough
In our failures and it's not time.)
There's nothing more I want
To know beyond your trust now
(I missed his promised time again
For my friend)
Don't throw our joy away
Why must you just you leave now?
(Has God forgotten to approach us?
Has He rememberd to not despise us?)
Memories are all that's left
I need you near to me now
(There, now, now, don't come to mind my deeds
What's the matter here?
Something ain't right
Tell me it's not true
Tell me it's alright
There was time I'd run around for you
Get down on my knees I swear it's true
But you came in the night and you took my heart
To Dracula's castle in the dark
Now I've gotta tell you that you've gotta know
I wanted you to stay but you're gonna go
Don't leave me alone you'll tear me apart
You're in control
So goodbye love you were not real
You came to stay but now you leave
I can't explain the way you feel
We once stood high but now we kneel
You can't keep on running how far do you think you'll get
You got the world if you want it I ain't done with you yet
I work hard just to keep you by my side
Every day and almost every night
In the end you took away my heart left me alone
So goodbye love you were not real
You came to stay but now you leave
I can't explain the way you feel
We once stood high but now we kneel
So goodbye love you were not real
You came to stay but now you leave
I can't explain the way you feel
(Verse)
From my head to my toes
I can hardly believe the things that I read are not
That it's hard, fly it in your plane and drive it in your car
You're a superstar, yes you are,
Signing autographs, making people laugh
You'll go far, clever boy,
Girls just wanna be with you, lawyers wanna deal with you.
(Chorus)
Why don't you wake up
And stop what you're doing right now?
You gotta be true.
You know you don't live forever
Hey, man, it's gotta be right.
Wake up right now, stop what you're doing,
You've gotta be true,
You know you don't live forever,
Hey, man, it's gotta be right.
(Verse)
Write a book about your life,
I can hardly believe the things that you need at home
With your wife, you treat it like a game, but this made you pretty fame
With perfect hair and your clothes,
It's just another day in a life of a superstar.
It's gotta be the way, it's the same, no matter who you are.
(Chorus)
Why don't you wake up
And stop what you're doing right now?
You gotta be true.
You know you don't live forever
Hey, man, it's gotta be right.
Wake up right now, stop what you're doing,
You've gotta be true,
You know you don't live forever,
Hey, man, it's gotta be right.
(Bridge)
Take care over what you do,
You gotta take care of what you are.
You gotta take care of what you're not,
You gotta take care of what you've got.
(Chorus)
Why don't you wake up
And stop what you're doing right now?
You gotta be true.
You know you don't live forever
Hey, man, it's gotta be right.
Wake up right now, stop what you're doing,
You've gotta be true,
You know you don't live forever,
Hey, man, it's gotta be right.
It's just another day in a life of a superstar.
It's gotta be the way, it's the same, no matter who you are.
It's just another day in a life of a superstar.
(Verse)
You get up in the early morning,
You never seen a feel like you wanna.
Look up and the sky is falling,
It's just another day, call tomorrow.
(Chorus)
Shake it up, yeah,
Shake it up, yeah,
You can make it real if you want it.
Shake it up, yeah,
Shake it up, yeah,
You can turn the wheel if you want it.
I loved you like you were no other,
Shake it up, yeah,
Shake it up.
I read your book from front to cover,
Shake it up, yeah,
Shake it up.
(Verse)
There's a little feel like your own life,
Watch you on TV like you're standing on the front line
And the papers say that the later
Does it have a feel like it's real, like it's true?
Does it have a feel like your own life
Watch you on TV like you're standing on the front line
And the papers saying that the later
Does it have a feel like it's real, like it's true?
Does it have a?
(Bridge)
Do you need it? Do you want it?
We'll rock you on that, we don't wanna wait.
Would you spend some money on it?
Well, I don't like the sound and I can't afford the late.
(Chorus)
Shake it up, yeah,
Shake it up, yeah,
You can make a deal if you want it.
Shake it up, yeah,
Shake it up, yeah,
You just gotta do what you've gotta.
I read you off from front to cover,
You came up on me like a piece of cake.
Still we chose to love each other
There's no cure like the ones hit.
Does it have a feel like your own life
Watch you on TV like you're standing on the front line
And the papers saying that the later
Does it have a feel like it's real, like it's true?
Does it have a?
Does it have a feel like your own life
Watch you on TV like you're standing on the front line
And the papers saying that the later
Does it have a feel like it's real, like it's true?
Does it have a?
Does it have a feel like your own life
Watch you on TV like you're standing on the front line
And the papers saying that the later
Does it have a feel like it's real, like it's true?
Grow up children, don't you suffer
At the hands of one another?
If you like a sleeping demon
Listen, can you hear him weeping?
Tears of joy and tears of sorrow
He buys love to sell tomorrow
My life ain't no holiday
I've been through the point of no return
I've seen what a man can do
I've seen all the hate of a woman too
Feel your heartbeat, lose the rhythm
He can't touch the world we live in
Life is short but love is strong
There lies a hope that I have found
And if you try you'll find it too
Remember why I'm telling you
My life ain't no holiday
I've been through the point of no return
I've seen what a man can do
I've seen all the hate of a woman too
And they gave him away
Like in [Whistle Down the Wind]
By the look on his face
It's not a joke
It's not even funny
And I'm not broke
I don't want your money
You cry so much
You make me weep
Because of you
I'm losing sleep
I don't want nobody
I don't need nobody
Sometimes it feels like
I'm getting melancholic
I like the things you say
But I don't like what you do
Why do you care anyway?
Who the hell are you?
I can see you everywhere
On the ground and in the air
You're the one that leaves a trace
Like a star in outer space
You shine brightly in the sky
Underneath the golden eye
You've got everything you need
You're a player in the league
Yeah Yeah
You're a player in the league
If you would do
What I suggest
It wouldn't lead
To instant death
I'm a capable person
Free to own
I don't need a curtain
When I'm at home
But every single day
You look the other way
As though I don't exist
I don't know what to say
I can see you everywhere
On the ground and in the air
You're the one that leaves a trace
Like a star in outer space
You shine brightly in the sky
Underneath the golden eye
You've got everything you need
You're a player in the league
You've got everything you need
I can see you everywhere
On the ground and in the air
You're the one that leaves a trace
Like a star in outer space
You shine brightly in the sky
Underneath the golden eye
You've got everything you need
You're a player in the league
Yeah Yeah
You're a player in the league
You've got everything you need
Yeah Yeah
(Ferry)
In every dream home a heartache
And every step I take
Takes me further from heaven
Is there a heaven?
I`d like to think so
Standards of living
They are rising daily
But home oh sweet home
It only a saying
From bell push to faucet
In smart town apartment
The cottage is pretty
The main house a palace
Penthouse perfection
But what goes on
What to do there
Better pray there
Open plan living
Bungalow ranch style
All of it's comforts
Seem so essential
I bought you mail order
My plain wrapper baby
Your skin is like vinyl
The perfect companion
You float in my new pool
Deluxe and delightful
Inflatable doll
My role is to serve you
Disposable darling
Can't throw you away now
Immortal and life size
My breath is inside you
I'll dress you up daily
And keep you till death sighs
Inflatable doll
Lover ungrateful
I blew up your body...
But you blew my mind
Oh Those Heartaches
Dreamhome Heartaches
Oh Those Heartaches
Dreamhome Heartaches
Oh Those Heartaches
Dreamhome Heartaches
Oh Those Heartaches
Confusion in her eyes that says it all
She's lost control
And she's clinging to the nearest passer-by
She's lost control
And she gave away the secrets of her past and said
I've lost control again
And of a voice that told her when and where to act, she said
I've lost control again
And she turned to me and took me by the hand and said
I've lost control again
And how I'll never know just why or understand, she said
I've lost control again
And she screamed out, kicking on her side and said
I've lost control again
And seized up on the floor - I thought she'd die - she said
I've lost control [again]
She's lost control again - she's lost control --
Well I had to phone her friend to state my case and say
[or in the 12" single and live versions: to state her case]
She's lost control again
And she showed up all the errors and mistakes and said
I've lost control again
But she expressed herself in many different ways
Until she lost control again
And walked upon the edge of no escape and laughed
I've lost control [again]
She's lost control again - she's lost control --
The following additional verse is on the 12" single
and, with minor variations, in some live versions:
I could live a little better with the myths and the lies
When the darkness broke in I just broke down and cried
I could live a little in a wider line
When the change is gone - when the urge is gone
To lose control

CHOURES LONGER
Just another day in the week
Waiting for an opportunity
To step in front of me
Maybe I'm losing my mind
Searching for another place
In another time
Chorus 1:
Real love can't be bought
It is wild and it can't be caught
Real love cant' be sown
It's another color than gold
Chorus 2:
(I need your love)
I just wanna buy it
(I need your love)
Will you help me find it?
(I want your love)
How can you deny it?
(I need your love)
You've just gotta try it
(I want you now)
's something that you've gotta know
(I need you now)
My love for you I wanna show
(I want your love)
I'm telling you I that I belong
(I need your love)
You and me just can't go wrong
Standing on top of the world
Thinking of the joy you bring
When you do that thing to me
You sure know a lot for a girl
You could bring the good times back
Get me on the tracks
Chorus 1
Chorus 2
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
Chorus 2
You and me just can't go wrong
You and me just can't go wrong
You and me just can't go wrong
Hope and desire
The antique sea
Hopes and fears are
All we ever see
We made a contract
In a field of snow
A single release now
And he's saying
Out of the woods and trees
Across the rain
From out of the nighttime
Somebody screams
He's on his way somewhere
All like he's been nowhere
I don't know
Nobody knows
Small girl is lost here
On a frozen floor
What do they want with me?
What do they want with me?
I don't know
Nobody knows
Nobody even tries
Putting up my good shoes
Stepping on the grass
Waiting for some good news
It's gonna get here fast
Doing things my own way
Like I always did
Saying what they all say
Feeling like a kid
Take a chance
Do what you have to do
Don't look down
Just look straight ahead of you
And around
Get up off on the view
Don't look down
Just do what you wanna do
Getting up at midnight
Just to watch a game
Climbing up a street light
Sitting on a claim
I don't even know you
But I understand
There's something I could show you
I'm just another fan
Can't wait for sunrise
High up in the sky
Can't wait for tomorrow
Time's gonna fly
Take a chance
Do what you have to do
Don't look down
Just look straight ahead of you
And around
Get up off on the view
Don't look down
Just do what you wanna do
Do what you wanna do
Do what you wanna do
Do what you wanna do
Do what you wanna do
Do what you wanna do
Do what you wanna do
Do what you wanna do
Do what you wanna do
Do what you wanna do
Take a chance
Do what you have to do
Don't look down
Just look straight ahead of you
And around
Get up off on the view
Don't look down
Just do what you wanna do
Do what you wanna do
Do what you wanna do
Destined to rot
In the trenches you will die
Born to suffer
Laying waste to the ground
Cities burning
Fire rains near
It is over
Devastation is here
Artillery fire
Breaching the lines
New found order
Soon to be set based on greed
Society crumbles
Crime rates soar
Words of wisdom
Matter no more
The victor is marching
Setting up new rules
Following the guidelines
Made for fools
(Made for fools
Following the guidelines)
Patrolling the streets
Guarding the order
Dissadisfaction toward power
A need to raise a resistance to fight
Ride the fire
Fight the false occupation
Raise a standard
Of will and bravery
Banish the intruders
Who scorch the land
Make a statement
Reinforce your stand
This war will be delt with
Casualties remain unknown
I don't know if I told you
But I'm seeking sanctuary
You'd never guess the things that I do
I've had the devil around for tea
Don't you know that I'm here beside you?
Can't you see that I can't relax?
When I saw you in my rear view
You could have stopped me in my tracks
I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
Because I'll be there for you when you want me to
You could take me to an island
Ride across a stormy sea
We could worship pagan idols
There together you and me
Why don't you run over here and rescue me?
You could drive down in your car
Why don't we both take a ride and turn that key
We'll drive at sixty miles an hour
I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
Because I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
Because I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
Because I'll be there for you when you want me to
[Instrumental]
sorry, but ecstasy hasn't lyrics, it's instrumental
One time didn't do it
Two times didn't feel quite right
I didn't know where i was going
I just knew that i would be alright
I woke up in a druken haze
The sun shone to my window?
I said that i'd never do it again
What kind of fool do you think i am?
It happens
It always seems to happen
Morning night and day
I just want some action
Give me satisfaction
Send me to my?
Morning night and day
I had a good time late last night
I didn't think it would ever end
I walked home in a broad day light
Couldn't get a cab at half past five
One drink wouldn't do it
Two drinks are far too much
I didn't know what i was doing
I ate the floor and a pile of dust
It happens
It always seems to happen
Morning night and day
I just want some action
Give me satisfaction
Send me to my?
Morning night and day
So if you think that it won't get you
Well think again friend 'cause it's not true
In my case, it was not my fault
Other people made that call
One time didn't do it
Two times didn't feel quite right
It happens
It always seems to happen
No matter what i say
Morning night and day
I just want some action
Need some satisfaction
Before it gets too late
Send me to my?
Listen to me
I know what I'm saying
But lord it don't come easy
To admit that I was wrong
It took me far too long
I counted on you
To give me a reason
Why the Sun don't shine in the season
Grey sky surrounded me
I'm not some kind of foolish lover
I couldn't take this from no other
You're not being cool with me
'Cause I always know you'll come back to me
Yes, you'll come back to me
'Cause I always know
What it takes to make you my lover
You once said to me
That I was a cruel man
And you know
That I almost believed you
I was blind, and I couldn't see
You took my sight from me
And all of these words
And all this emotion
Can't explain my hopeless devotion
Or change what had to be
I'm not some kind of foolish lover
I couldn't take this from no other
You're not being cool with me
'Cause I always know that you'll come back to me
Yes, you'll come back to me
Yes, you'll come back to me
I'm not some kind of foolish lover
I couldn't take this from no other
You're not being cool with me
'Cause I always know that you'll come back to me
Yes, you'll come back to me
I'm not some kind of foolish lover
I couldn't take this from another
It's no good being cool with me
'Cause I always know
Just another day in the week
Waiting for an opportunity to step in front of me
Maybe I'm losing my mind
Searching for another place in another time
Real love can't be bought
It is wild and it can't be cought
Real love can't be sold
It's another color than gold
(I need your love) I just wanna buy it
(I need your love) Will you help me find it
(I want your love) How can you deny it
(I need your love) You've just gotta try it
(I want you now) Something that you gotta know
(I need you now) My love for you I wanna show
(I want your love) I'm telling you that I belong
(I need your love) You and me just can't go wrong
Standing on top of the world
Thinking at the joy you bring when you do that thing to me
You sure know a lot for a girl
You can bring the good times back get me on the track
Real love can't be bought
It is wild and it can't be cought
Real love can't be sold
It's another color than gold
I need your love) I just wanna buy it
(I need your love) Will you help me find it
(I want your love) How can you deny it
(I need your love) You've just gotta try it
(I want you now) Something that you gotta know
(I need you now) My love for you I wanna show
(I want your love) I'm telling you that I belong
(I need your love) You and me just can't go wrong
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love) I just wanna buy it
(I need your love) Will you help me find it
(I want your love) How can you deny it
(I need your love) You've just gotta try it
(I want you now) Something that you gotta know
(I need you now) My love for you I wanna show
(I want your love) I'm telling you that I belong
(I need your love) You and me just can't go wrong
You and me just can't go wrong
You and me just can't go wrong
You and me just can't go wrong
You're much too young
To be a part of me
Too young
To get a hold on me
You're much too young
You're much too young
You're much too young
To mess around with me
You know I've met a lot of cool chicks
But I've never met a girl with all her own teeth
That's why I love you babe
That's why we could be
But you're too young
Too young
The past doesn't matter
Sophisticated lady
You know I've met a lot of cool chicks
But you've got style
You've got class
But most of all
Ever since I've seen your face
This life of mine has gone to waste
I was young and you were old
And I always knew you were cold
At the start you had a heart
But in the end you lost your friend
Can you see your own dark face?
It's dieing in a lonely place
Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
I said, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
As we get old, we lose our place
Reflecting back the world's disgrace
I feel so low, I feel so humble
Sometimes in life we take a tumble
Don't let anybody tell you that you're no good
Cause you know they would
Don't let anybody tell you what you should do
Cause it's not that way and...
Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
I said, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
We were young and we were pure
And life was just an open door
I said oh, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
You were me and I was you
This world of ours it felt brand new
You took me a little further...
I heard it all before, I've heard it all before
I can't hear it anymore
Your hair was long, your eyes was blue
Guess what I'm gonna do to you
Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
I said, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
We were young and we were pure
And life was just an open door
I said oh, oh, how I cannot bear the thought...
Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
I said oh, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
Help me, somebody help me
I wonder where I am
I see my future before me
I'll hurt you when I can
It seems like I've been here before
Confusion sprung up from devotion
A halo that covers my eyes
It sprung from this first estrangement
No one have I ever despised
Is this the way that you wanted to pay
Won't you show me, please show me the way
Is this the way that you wanted to pay
At the end of the day
There's no food on our plate
So we beg and we steal
For we know love is real
And if we don't take a chance
In a spare sideways glance
These are all the chains I wanted
To justify the things I do
And when we kiss we speak as one
And in a single breath this world is gone
And when we kiss we speak as one
With a single breath this world is gone
It's a crisis I know
At the end of the show
People change but we don't falter
Cause we know love is real
This is no place to shiver
So get up off the grass
You were once the main attraction
but all that's in the past
How much is free
For me and you
I'm on my knees
I am a fool
But when we kiss we speak as one
With a single breath this world is gone
(this world is gone)
How could I fail to give her
When she cried such a lot
People change but we don't falter
Cause we use what we've got
And when we kiss we speak as one
With a single breath this world is gone
And when we kiss we speak as one
With a single breath this world is gone
(this world is gone)
(this world is gone)
(this world is gone)
At the end of the day
There's no food on our plate
So we beg and we steal
For we know love is real
And if we don't take a chance
In a spare sideways glance
These are all the chains I wanted
To justify the things I do
And when we kiss we speak as one
And in a single breath this world is gone
And when we kiss we speak as one
With a single breath this world is gone
It's a crisis I know
At the end of the show
People change but we don't falter
Cause we know love is real
This is no place to shiver
So get up off the grass
You were once the main attraction
but all that's in the past
How much is free
For me and you
I'm on my knees
I am a fool
But when we kiss we speak as one
With a single breath this world is gone
(this world is gone)
How could I fail to give her
When she cried such a lot
People change but we don't falter
Cause we use what we've got
And when we kiss we speak as one
With a single breath this world is gone
And when we kiss we speak as one
With a single breath this world is gone
(this world is gone)
(this world is gone)
Every second counts
When I am with you
I think you are a pig
You should be in a zoo
I guess I should've known
I'd end up on my own
Every second counts when I am with you
Every second counts
Every little counts
When I am with you
You make me feel so good
I never felt so new
I saw you long ago
Though you never let it show
Every little counts when I am with you
Every little counts when I am with you
Every second counts
When I am with you
Even though you're stupid
I still follow you
The smile upon your face,
It always stays in place
Every second counts when I am with you
Every second counts when I am with you
Ever since I've seen your face
This life of mine has gone to waste
I was young and you were old
And I always knew you were cold
At the start you had a heart
But in the end you lost your friend
Can you see your own dark face?
It's dieing in a lonely place
Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
I said, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
As we get old, we lose our place
Reflecting back the world's disgrace
I feel so low, I feel so humble
Sometimes in life we take a tumble
Don't let anybody tell you that you're no good
Cause you know they would
Don't let anybody tell you what you should do
Cause it's not that way and...
Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
I said, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
We were young and we were pure
And life was just an open door
I said oh, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
You were me and I was you
This world of ours it felt brand new
You took me a little further...
I heard it all before, I've heard it all before
I can't hear it anymore
Your hair was long, your eyes was blue
Guess what I'm gonna do to you
Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
I said, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
We were young and we were pure
And life was just an open door
I said oh, oh, how I cannot bear the thought...
Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
I said oh, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
We were young and we were pure...
Every second counts
When I am with you
I think you are a pig
You should be in a zoo
I guess I should've known
I'd end up on my own
Every second counts when I am with you
Every second counts
Every little counts
When I am with you
You make me feel so good
I never felt so new
I saw you long ago
Though you never let it show
Every little counts when I am with you
Every little counts when I am with you
Every second counts
When I am with you
Even though you're stupid
I still follow you
The smile upon your face,
It always stays in place
Every second counts when I am with you
Every second counts when I am with you
Every second...
(One, two, three, four)
I am for you can enjoy I can give you
(Give me, give me, give me)
It's a time we love to hate, I can give you
I am for you will enjoy I can give you
(Give me, give me, give me)
This is the time you'd love to hate, I will take you
I'm quite determined and there will be
No more mistakes, no more talking
I'll bet you hate this
Oh, I am for you will enjoy, I can take you
(Give me, give me, give me)
This is the law and you...
I'm quite determined and there will be
No more mistakes like the last one
Listen to me
I know what I'm saying
But lord it don't come easy
To admit that I was wrong
It took me far too long
I counted on you
To give me a reason
Why the Sun don't shine in the season
Grey sky surrounded me
I'm not some kind of foolish lover
I couldn't take this from no other
You're not being cool with me
'Cause I always know you'll come back to me
Yes, you'll come back to me
'Cause I always know
What it takes to make you my lover
You once said to me
That I was a cruel man
And you know
That I almost believed you
I was blind, and I couldn't see
You took my sight from me
And all of these words
And all this emotion
Can't explain my hopeless devotion
Or change what had to be
I'm not some kind of foolish lover
I couldn't take this from no other
You're not being cool with me
'Cause I always know that you'll come back to me
Yes, you'll come back to me
Yes, you'll come back to me
I'm not some kind of foolish lover
I couldn't take this from no other
You're not being cool with me
'Cause I always know that you'll come back to me
Yes, you'll come back to me
I'm not some kind of foolish lover
I couldn't take this from another
It's no good being cool with me
'Cause I always know
What it takes to make you my lover
I wanna scream, I wanna shout
I wanna know what it's all about
I've seen it before but not like this
I saw your name, it was on the list
By 4 O'Clock (It's gonna change)
You were pretty high (It's gonna change)
Right on the floor (It's gonna change)
Looking at the sky (It's gonna change)
I remember you (It's gonna change)
When you were a kid (It's gonna change)
It was pretty strange (It's gonna change)
And things you did
You've got to pull yourself together man
You've got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
You've got the world right in your hands
No cold heart could turn away
And not be moved by what I saw today
There on the floor, thirty years or more
He doesn't care, he just wants to score
By 4 O'Clock (It's gonna change)
You were pretty high (It's gonna change)
Right on the floor (It's gonna change)
Looking at the sky (It's gonna change)
I remember you (It's gonna change)
When you were a kid (It's gonna change)
It was pretty strange (It's gonna change)
And things you did
You've got to pull yourself together man
You've got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
You've got the world right in your hands
You've got to pull yourself together man
You've got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
You've got the world right in your hands
Yet it only seems just like yesterday
We used to run and hide
Remember in the park where we used to play
The grass looked ten foot high
You've got to pull yourself together man
You've got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
You've got the world right in your hands
You've got to pull yourself together man
You've got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
You've got the world right in your hands
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you mean to me
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you cannot see
You're hiding from feelings, searching for more
Sharing and hoping, untouched for so long
Our lives still change from the way that we were
And now I'll tell you something I think you should know
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you mean to me
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you cannot see
You cause me confusion, you told me you cared
He's calling these changes that last to the end
Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies
The past is your present, the future is mine
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you mean to me
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you cannot see
You tell me you need me, I'll make it this time
The thread won't divide us, the sensation survives
I was sure that I told you it was good from the face
You've caused me some problems, you've taken my place
Why can't you see what you mean to me?
What does this ship bring to me
Far across the restless sea
Waiting for the sirens call
I've never seen it here before
There she ?? the lonely trail
Getting through the breaking winds
Drifting slowly from the coast
She is lost forever more
We all want some kind of love
But sometimes it's not enough
To the wall and through the door
With a stranger on the shore
I won't desert you
I don't know what to say
I really hurt you
I nearly gave it all the way
I've got it all
Cause you were not the one
I don't know where to turn when you're gone
When you're gone
Gotta catch the midnight train
First to Paris then to Spain
Travel with a document
All across the continent
City life is flying by
The wheels are turning all around
Get on board we can't be late
Our destination cannot wait
All the stars and all the worlds
Filling up this universe
Can never be as close as us
We never shine as bright or??
I won't desert you
I don't know what to say
I really hurt you
I nearly gave it all the way
I've got it all
Cause you were not the wrong one
I don't know where to turn when you're gone
When you're gone
I won't desert you
I don't know what to say
I really hurt you
I nearly gave it all the way
I've got it all
Cause you were not the one
I don't know where to turn when you're gone
When you're gone
How many times must I lose my way, hey
How many words do I have to say, hey
What can I do just to make you see
That you're so good for a man like
Listen
I may be wrong but you're missing
There's something wrong you could say
Ruined in a day
You could be the lover of jade
Forever on your own in the shade
Let's do it anyway
Some people like to deceive you
While others may feel that they need you
While I do the best that I can
Keeping my life in my hands
And if you feel
Your cradle rocking
Then take the wheel
Don't let me stop you
(Hang around for awhile)
But stop acting like a child
Every step we take is the one
That's gonna undo what you've done
It could take all day
Some people like to deceive you
While others may feel that they need you
But I do the best that I can
I keep my world in my hands
Some people like to deceive you
while others may feel that they need you
But I do the best that I can
It was January, 1963
When Johnny came home with a gift for me
He said, "I bought it for you because I love you
And I bought it for you 'cause it's your birthday too"
He was so very nice, he was so very kind
To think of me at this point in time
I used to think of him, he used think of me
He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise
I saw tears were in his eyes
He never meant to hurt me, oh God
Johnny, don't point that gun at me
There's so many ways our lives have changed
But please, I beg, don't do this to me
Johnny, don't point that gun at me
Can I save my life at any price?
For God's sake, won't you listen to me?
And though he was ashamed that he had took a life
Johnny came home with another wife
And he often remembered how it used to be
Before that special occasion, 1963
There was too many ways that you could kill someone
Like in a love affair, when the love has gone
He used to think of her, she used think of him
He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise
I saw tears were in his eyes
He never meant to hurt me, oh God
Johnny, don't point that gun at me
There's so many ways our lives have changed
But please, I beg, don't do this to me
Johnny, you keep on using me
Can I change my life for any price?
Oh Johnny, won't you listen to me?
He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise
I saw hatred in his eyes
But he never meant to hurt me, oh God
Johnny, don't point that gun at me
There's so many ways our lives have changed
But please, I beg, don't do this to me
Johnny, you keep on using me
Can I change my life for any price?
Oh Johnny, won't you listen to me?
I just want you to be mine
I don't want this world to shine
I don't want this bridge to burn
Oh Johnny, do you miss me?
I just want to feel for you
I will always feel for you
I will always feel for you
I will always feel for you
I will always feel for you
Every second counts
When I am with you
I think you are a pig
You should be in a zoo
I guess I should've known
I'd end up on my own
Every second counts when I am with you
Every second counts
Every little counts
When I am with you
You make me feel so good
I never felt so new
I saw you long ago
Though you never let it show
Every little counts when I am with you
Every little counts when I am with you
Every second counts
When I am with you
Even though you're stupid
I still follow you
The smile upon your face,
It always stays in place
Every second counts when I am with you
Every second counts when I am with you
Answer me
Why won't you answer me
I can't recall the day that I last heard from you
Well you don't get a town like this for nothing
So here's what you've got to do
You work your way to the top of the world
Then you break your life in two
Well what's the use in complaining
When you've got what you don't need
Anyone would think you were hardened too
What do you want me to believe
What the hell is happening
I can't think of everything
I don't know what day it is
Or who I'm talking to
But I know that I'm ok
'Cause you're here with me today
I haven't got a single problem
Now that I'm with you
So what's the use in complaining
When you've got everything you need
Anyone would think you were hardened too
It's a hard way to come home
You've got me on my knees
The walls are tumbling down
The falling night believes
Listening through months and years
I can't forget that you were here
I feel your presence everywhere
In the corner over there
Turn your eyes from me
It's time for me to go
Across the hills and over the sea
I want you more than I know
It's a wild world out there
And nobody gives a damn
In cold blood we don't care
And we don't want to understand
I'm sitting here alone at night
My sleepless eyes are open wide
What do you want me to say
What we had has gone away
The sky is high the road is long
Show me what I should have done
What do you want me to do
Take it all away from you
Turn your eyes from me
It's time for me to go
Across the hills and over the sea
I want you more than I know
Turn your eyes from me
It's time for me to go
Across the hills and over the sea
Take my hand
And don't let go
Trust this man
And let it flow
Don't take me down
Cause I'm not done
Don't steal my crown
Before it's won
The wide expanse
The wheel of chance
Will turn my way
The sky will not be gray
I don't wanna be like other people are
Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car
Don't wanna have to work like other people do
I want it to be free, I want it to be true
Take my hand
And don't let go
Trust this man
And let it flow
I drank in every bar in town
I filled my cup when I was down
I saw the things I wanted to see
Became the man I wanted to be
But then somehow I lost my way
I've got to get back there today
I don't wanna be like other people are
Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car
Don't wanna have to work like other people do
I want it to be free, I want it to be true
I don't wanna be like other people are
Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car
Don't wanna have to work like other people do
I want it to be free, I want it to be true
I don't wanna be like other people are
Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car
Don't wanna have to work like other people do
I want it to be free, I want it to be true
I don't wanna be like other people are
Don't wanna own a key, Don't wanna wash my car
I lie awake at night, or wait until it's light
I want it to be free, I thought that I was right
Tought that I was right
Tought that I was right
Tought that I was right
Tought that I was right
Tought that I was right
It's been ten long years since I've been home
I've been waiting here with nowhere to go
It's an occupation I don't like
But it pays the rent and turns on the light
I told you so
It has to be
Cut loose news and runaway with me
We'll go out every night
I'll be there by your side
And we'll all get high down the ...' side
If i hate the job and I hate the place
But I must stay for your pretty face
It's a f*** reaction I can fix
Cut me with those free _ tricks (?)
I told you so
It's a crazy world
For a mixed up guy
And a no good girl
And I told you so
It's a crazy world
For a mixed up guy
And a no good girl
(Take her, take the world)
I told you so
It has to be
Cut loose news and runaway (runaway) with me
We'll go out every night
I'll be there by your side
And we'll all get high down the ...' side
My love falls from heaven
To talk of this strange design
Then it goes forever
Where all things never die
People look whenever
These races have been won
Minds just for breathing
When the means for this have begun
It's so far away, and it's closing in
It's so far away, and it seems to travel in
Taken from the killing ground
By all dividing hands
With no sense or reason,
They came, they found, they ran
Taking good advantage of
All the things they are told
I washed my hands of innocence
When you started taking control
It's so far away, and it's closing in
Caressing the marble and stone
Love that was special for one
The waste and the fever and hate
How I wish you were here with me now
Body that kills and hides
Matches an awful delight
Warm like a dog 'round your feet
How I wish you were here with me now
Hangman looks 'round as he waits
Gullet stretches tight and it breaks
Someday we will die in your dreams
In fear every day, every evening
He calls her aloud from above
Carefully watched for a reason
Painstaking devotion and love
Surrendered to self preservation
From others who care for themselves
A blindness that touches perfection
But hurts just like anything else
Isolation, isolation, isolation
Mother, I tried, please believe me
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through
I'm ashamed of the person I am
Isolation, isolation, isolation
But if you could just see the beauty
These things I could never describe
These pleasures, a wayward distraction
This is my one, lucky prize
Isolation, isolation, isolation
(It's only one more day)
Can you wait
My plane will be arriving shortly
Right there at the gate
I pray that you'll be waiting right there for me
This time could be what
We've both been searching for
Our whole lives waking up
And coming back for more
(Leave your baggage behind, you won't need it tonight, enjoy your flight)
J-E-T (J-E-T)
You are so good for me (You are so good for me)
You are my jetstream lover
You're how I wanna be (Just how I wanna be baby)
J-E-T (J-E-T)
You are so good for me (You are so good for me)
You are my jetstream lover
You're how I wanna be (Just how I wanna be baby)
We're so high
I'm watching all the clouds stripped by below me
We should try
It's been so long since I made you cry
Long-Live-Love
I just can't get enough of you
I need that engines pushed
It's gonna take me home to you
J-E-T (J-E-T)
You are so good for me (You are so good for me)
You are my jetstream lover
You're how I wanna be (Just how I wanna be baby)
J-E-T (J-E-T)
You are so good for me (You are so good for me)
You are my jetstream lover
You're how I wanna be (Just how I wanna be baby)
You were meant to be
Home with me
J-E-T (J-E-T)
You are so good for me (You are so good for me)
You are my jetstream lover
You're how I wanna be (Just how I wanna be baby)
J-E-T (J-E-T)
You are so good for me (You are so good for me)
You are my jetstream lover
You're how I wanna be (Just how I wanna be baby)
You are so good for me (You are so good for me)
You are so good for me (Just how I wanna be baby)
But you're gone
But you're gone
Don't let it go
Don't let it go
If you don't try
If you don't try
How will you know
I stood there beside myself,
Thinking hard about the weather
Then came by a friend of mine
Suggested we go out together
Then I knew it from the start:
This friend of mine would fall apart
Pretending not to see his gun,
I said "let's go out and have some fun"
I know, you know, you believe in a land of love
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
I have always thought about
Staying here and going out
Tonight I should have stayed at home,
Playing with my pleasure zone
He has always been so strange,
I'd often thought he was deranged
Pretending not to see his gun,
I said "let's go out and have some fun"
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
When you are alone at night
You search yourself for all the things
That you believe are right
If you give it all away
You throw away your only chance to be here today
Then a fight breaks out on your street
You lose another broken heart in a land of meat
My friend, he took his final breath
Some people get up at the break of day
Gotta go to work before it gets too late
Sitting in a car and driving down the road
It ain't the way it has to be
But that's what you do to earn your daily wage
That's the kind of world that we're living in today
Isn't where you wanna be
And isn't what you wanna do
Just give me one more day (one more day)
Give me another night (just another night)
I need a second chance (second chance)
This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right)
I'll say it one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
I've got to change your mind (I've got to change your mind)
I'll never let you go
You've got to look at life the way it oughta be
Looking at the stars from underneath the tree
There's a world inside and a world out there
With that on tv you just don't care
They've got violence, wars and killing too
All shrunk down in a two-foot tube
But out there the world is a beautiful place
With mountains, lakes and the human race
And this is where I wanna be
And this is what I wanna do
Just give me one more day (one more day)
Give me another night (just another night)
I need a second chance (second chance)
This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right)
I'll say it one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
I've got to change your mind (change your mind)
I'll never let you go
Just give me one more chance (one more chance)
Give me another night (just another night)
With just one more day (one more day)
Maybe we'll get it right (You know I'll get it right)
I'll say it one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
If I could change your mind (change your mind)
On a thousand islands in the sea
I see a thousand people just like me
A hundred unions in the snow
I watch them walking, falling in a row
We live always underground
It's going to be so quiet in here tonight
A thousand islands in the sea
It's a shame
And a hundred years ago
A sailor trod this ground I stood upon
Take me away everyone
When it hurts thou
From my head to my toes
From the words in the book
I see a vision that would bring me luck
From my head to my toes
To my teeth, through my nose
You get these words wrong
You get these words wrong
Everytime
You get these words wrong
I just smile
But from my head to my toes
From my knees to my eyes
Everytime I watch the sky
For these last few days leave me alone
But for these last few days leave me alone
Leave me alone
Grow up children, don't you suffer
At the hands of one another
If you like a sleeping demon
Listen can you hear him weeping
Tears of joy and tears of sorrow
He buys love to sell tomorrow
My life ain't no holiday
I've been through the point of no return
I've seen what a man can do
I've seen all the hate of a woman too
Feel your heartbeat lose the rhythm
He can't touch the world we live in
Life is short but love is strong
There lies a hope that I have found
And if you try you'll find it too
Remember why I'm telling you
My life ain't no holiday
I've been through the point of no return
I've seen what a man can do
I've seen all the hate of a woman too
And they gave him away
Like in 'Whistle Down The Wind'
By the look on his face
Hey now what you doing
Don't go down the road to ruin
Look back at where you came from
Count to ten before you go wrong
You have the brightest future
Writing songs on your computer
But you couldn't walk the extra mile
And now your life is running wild
You've gotta hold your head up high
You know it's not too late to try
You've gotta lift that heavy load
You've gotta get back in control
The days you've said to me
What is it that your eyes see
Is it love or is it hate
Banging on an opened gate
Hey now, who's that with you
What's that thing I saw him give you
Turn around don't come no closer
You took it from my shoulder holster
You've gotta hold your head up high
You know it's not too late to try
You've gotta lift that heavy load
You've gotta get back in control
You've gotta hold your head up high
You know it's not too late to try
You've gotta lift that heavy load
You've gotta get back in control
Why don't you put that gun right down
Before you kill the love you found
Hey now what you doing (what you doing)
(One, two, three, four)
I am for you can enjoy I can give you
(Give me, give me, give me)
It's a time we love to hate, I can give you
I am for you will enjoy I can give you
(Give me, give me, give me)
This is the time you'd love to hate, I will take you
I'm quite determined and there will be
No more mistakes, no more talking
I'll bet you hate this
Oh, I am for you will enjoy, I can take you
(Give me, give me, give me)
This is the law and you...
I'm quite determined and there will be
Won't you please let me go
'Cause words lie inside
They hurt me so
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what I want to do
I'm not the kind that needs to tell you
Just what you want me to
I saw you this morning
I thought that you might like to know
I received your message
In full a few days ago
I understood every word that it said
And now that I actually heard it
You're going to regret
And I'm not the kind that needs to tell you
Just what you want me to
You're not the kind that needs to tell you
Just what you... want me to
Do you find this happens all the time
A crucial point one day
Becomes a crime
And I'm not the kind that need to tell you
Just what you want me to
I'm not the kind that needs to tell you
Just what the fuck you want me to
I've lost you, I've lost you, I've lost you, I've lost you, I've lost you
I've lost you, I've lost you, I've lost you, I've lost you, I've lost you
I've lost you, I've lost you, I've lost you, I've lost you, I've lost you
(Ooo-oo-oo...)
Sometimes I feel that you're a part of me
Although it don't seem real, it's how I want it to be
But if you can't stay then I'll understand
You're just sawdust in my empty hand
If you can't decide, I'll still be true
Just open wide, I'm here for you
And if you think that you've found
A gentle sound, where love breaks down
It's alright and if you can't overcome
What gets you down don't get uptight, it's alright
I'm a shallow man in an hollow land
On a beaten track under your command
And the sound in my head goes round and round
Like a drunk on the stairs who just fell down
But now it seems like a distant dream
When it all lived wrong with our love supreme
And the sound in my head goes round and round
Like a drunk on the stairs who just fell down
And if you think that you've found
A gentle sound where love breaks down
It's alright and if you can't overcome
You could make my day
What did I do anyway?
Change your mind and stay
We can shake the blues away
Girl, this ain't a game
That we both should play
Maybe I was wrong
Treating you that way
You could make my day
What did I do anyway?
Change your mind and stay
We can shake the blues away
Anytime you want me
If you're feeling down
Why don't you come with me?
I'll turn you around
I wish I could cross this great divide
Be with you there on the other side
Together we'll scale this mountain high
You never could run this river dry
It's not that easy you say
With different people
Sometimes you think I'm okay
Sometimes I'm evil
No matter how much you cry
That dirt will stay in your eye
It's getting harder to find
But we don't have a deadline
You put me to the test
This could be our getaway
You keep me feeling fresh
We're driving down that highway
Anytime you want me
If you're feeling down
Why don't you come with me?
I'll turn you around
I wish I could cross this great divide
Be with you there on the other side
Together we'll scale this mountain high
You never could run this river dry
I wish I could cross this great divide
Be with you there on the other side
I wish I could cross this great divide
Sister Ray said, "I love you"
Sister Ray said, "I love you"
Sister Ray said, "I love you"
Sister Ray said, "I love you"
Sister Ray said, "I don't know why
People grow up, and then they die"
Sister Ray said, "I don't know why
I stay at home on my own and cry"
Sister Ray said, "I love you"
Sister Ray said, "I love you
That's all that matters
That I love you
That's all that matters
That I love you
That's all that matters
That I love you"
Sister Ray said, "Oh, you mean so much to me
'Cause I love you
'Cause your name begins with B"
I said, "that's not a very good reason"
I said, "that's not a very good reason"
Sister Ray said, "I love you"
Sister Ray said, "I love you"
Sister Ray said, "I love you"
Sister Ray said, "I love you"

Because you mean so much to me"
When I was a very young boy
I reached the age of three
Then something happened to me
I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
That's the way that we must pay
You got my time and you got my money
Now I feel you've started something
In a world that's so becoming
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...
When I was a very small boy,
Very small boys talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see
That's the price that we must pay
And the value of destiny comes to nothing
I don't notice where we're going
I guess there was just no way of knowing
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...
I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of destiny
The chances are we've gone too far
You took my time and you took my money
Now I think you've started something
In a world that's just begun
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...
A thought that never changes
Remains a stupid lie
It's always been just the same
No hearing nor breathing
No movement, no calling
Just silence
Rise and fall of shame
A search that shall remain
You asked me where I'd been
I said I didn't care
Sound formed in a vacuum
May seem a waste of time
It's always been just the same
No hearing no breathing
No movement no colors
Just silence
The rise and fall of shame
The search that shall remain
You asked me what you'd seen
I said you didn't care
Hope and desire *
The antique sea
Hopes and fears are
All we ever see
We made a contract
In a field of snow
A single release now
And he’s saying
Out of the woods and trees
Across the rain
>from out of the nighttime
Somebody screams
He’s on his way somewhere
All like he’s been nowhere *
I don’t know
Nobody knows
Small girl is lost here
On a frozen floor
What do they want with me?
What do they want with me?
I don’t know
Nobody knows
Nobody even tries
To find out what they want to know
* suggestions welcome on these lines
Every little counts
When I am with you
I think you are a pig
You should be in a zoo
I guess I should've known
I'd end up on my own
Every second counts when I am with you
Every little counts
When I am with you
Even though you're stupid
I still follow you
The smile upon your face
It always stays in place
Every little counts oh, when I am with you
(Do-do-do-do...)
Every second counts oh, when I am with you
Every second counts
When I am with you
Even though you're stupid
I still look at you
The smile upon your face,
It always stays in place
Every little counts when I am with you
(Do-do-do-do...)
Every second counts when I am with you
Every second counts when I am with you
(Think you are a pig, you should be in a zoo...)
Who is this man
That follows me
This blue eyed boy
Who wants to be
This worthy cause
Of human kind
This pawn set up by time
Like a bright light on the horizon
Shining so bright, he'll get you flying
He'll drive you away, he'll drive you insane
But then he'll remove all of your pain
Like a bright light on the horizon
Shining so bright, he'll get you flying
He'll get you flying, he'll get you flying
He'll get you flying, flying, flying
This open book
Yet to be read
This second look
This leap ahead
The hope I held inside
With you, was kept alive
Like a bright light on the horizon
Shining so bright, he'll get you flying
He'll drive you away, he'll drive you insane
But then he'll remove all of your pain
Like a bright light on the horizon
Shining so bright, He'll get you flying
He'll get you flying, He'll get you flying
He'll get you flying, flying, flying
We're here to stay
We're here to stay
We're here to stay
We're here to stay
We're here to stay
We're here to stay
We're here to stay
We're here to stay
Like a bright light on the horizon
Shining so bright, he'll get you flying
He'll get you flying, he'll get you flying
You know it never meant much to me
There's something on your mind that I couldn't see
It didn't hurt me too much to find
You were seeing someone else for all of this time
You know that I don't care
And I'd like you to know that I don't care
I don't need your sympathy
Why don't you ever look at me
You did nothing for me
You did nothing I see
You did nothing for me
You did nothing
There's no today and there's no tomorrow
Where you find sadness I find sorrow
Nobody knows but it always shows
I think I'm losing my mind but that's the way that it goes
And it's fine, all those lies
I can see the truth lies in your eyes
So I guess we are through
You did to me what I did to you
You did nothing for me
You did nothing I see
You did nothing for me
You did nothing
I don't need your sympathy
Cause you don't mean that much to me
You did nothing for me
You did nothing I see
You did nothing for me
You did nothing
You did nothing for me
You did nothing I see
You did nothing for me
Have you heard about the things to come?
The side effects of an atom bomb
Have you heard about the disturbed child?
You know this generation a little wild
Did they tell you about the beast?
And the big hairy monsters
Like creatures in a bad dream
Did they tell you about the new order?
Have you heard about the China Wall?
When will it crack, when will it fall?
There are no words to find in prayers
To write them down, nobody dares
Will it happen to you?
Or will it be another generation?
Which side would you choose?
When the time comes for the new order
Have you heard about the things they found
While they were digging up the underground
Will history repeat itself?
If you believe in someone else
Will it happen today?
Or will it be another generation?
What side would you take?
When the time comes for the new order
Pictures of an image of a person who could not be blamed
You are a colour and you are a number
We need a sanction to see one another
If I keep my distance in the season of this slender hell
It's because of the need to live off one another
Go home young offender and stay undercover
We're busy running out of time
(Whatever it takes, I will make you mine)
I'll take the future from your hands
(All the things I've ever had, I can make the perfect crime)
We're strong, we do our thing
Let the world cry, watch the birds sing
Give me the freedom, I need to recover
Words cannot heal, when a line is your lover
Wind howls in my chamber like an angel
(like an angel)
You are a colour and you are a number
One time didn't do it
Two times didn't feel quite right
I didn't know where i was going
I just knew that i would be alright
I woke up in a druken haze
The sun shone to my window?
I said that i'd never do it again
What kind of fool do you think i am?
It happens
It always seems to happen
Morning night and day
I just want some action
Give me satisfaction
Send me to my?
Morning night and day
I had a good time late last night
I didn't think it would ever end
I walked home in a broad day light
Couldn't get a cab at half past five
One drink wouldn't do it
Two drinks are far too much
I didn't know what i was doing
I ate the floor and a pile of dust
It happens
It always seems to happen
Morning night and day
I just want some action
Give me satisfaction
Send me to my?
Morning night and day
So if you think that it won't get you
Well think again friend 'cause it's not true
In my case, it was not my fault
Other people made that call
One time didn't do it
Two times didn't feel quite right
It happens
It always seems to happen
No matter what i say
Morning night and day
I just want some action
Need some satisfaction
Before it gets too late
Send me to my?
If we left this town, we could walk the earth together
If you let me down, I will live in you forever
I want you, I want you, I need you, I need you
I want you, I want you, I need you, I need you
If we could find a home, we could go through time together
If we could hold our own, devastate the night forever
There's no place where we can't go
There's no place where I have been
There's no limit I can show
There's no level inbetween
Jolene, I could have seen you there,
Jolene, I need you everywhere
I want you, I want you, I need you, I need you
I want you, I want you, I need you, I need you
Jolene, I could have seen you there
When I looked into your lifeless eyes, I saw you everywhere
There's no place where you can hide
There's no place that I can't find
There's no end to leave me clean
There's no reason I have seen
If you find me on my own, you could live your life forever
Shall we leave our world alone, maybe we'll go back or never
Jolene, I could've seen you there
When I looked into your lifeless eyes, I saw you everywhere
I want you, I want you, I need you, I need you
I want you, I want you, I need you, I need you
I want you, I want you, I need you, I need you
Crows, crows, crows, I hate them!
Crawl across!
I wouldn't do that, Dave
I'm afraid, Dave
My mind is going
There was a time I call before
When all I knew was what I saw
The keeper of a major key
I lived in a town called Liberty
I worked hard
To give you all the things that you need
And almost anything that you see
I spent a lifetime working on you
And you won't even talk to me
Can't you see
Why don't you look at me
It's not your right to be
So much my enemy
I knew that I could never give
You knew that you could not forgive
No price or pride would fall before
A ten foot wall without a door
But you know
I watch every step that you make
To find some other fool you can take
And I don't know why I even try
Because it all comes down to this
Can't you see
Why don't you look at me
It's not your right to be
So much my enemy
Can't you see
Why don't you look at me
It's not your right to be
So much my enemy
I worked hard
To give you all the things that you need
And almost anything that you see
I spent a lifetime working on you
I walk along the street
I look into your eyes
I'm pleasant when we meet
I'm there when you go home
How many times before
Could you tell I didn't care?
When you turned your back on me
I knew we'd get nowhere
Do you believe in youth
The history of all truth
A heart that's left at home
Becomes a heart of stone
Do you believe in truth?
The lies we told of youth
A cause we call our own
Beside an empty throne
How many times before
Could you tell I didn't care?
When you reached out in your sleep
And you knew I wasn't there
My eyes are made of stone
Just like your sordid home
How many times before
Below the surface this day I need it light
Inside dimension lies another sacrifice
Once out of reach, we never speak, we never compromise
As they turned to gold the edges froze and seemed to turn to
All flight departures assembled not returned
Left in these passions I looked but never learned
There's hope, you've heard there's life in another world
Sometimes you'll find that truth is never kind
In the ghost lies a portrait of space that time is never here
In the mind of a fallen man, an easy day in another land
Ship sails out to sea, away from me, I just stand and stare
Assassin clears his hands, I know that, and, I wasn't even
there
One day it came to mind we even leave the rest behind
Some day, I know, you get where you should go
There's hope, you've heard there's life in another world
Sometimes we'll find that truth is never kind
One day it came to mind we even leave the rest behind
Some day, I know, we even get where we used to go
A thought that never changes
Remains a stupid lie
It's never been quite the same
No hearing or breathing
No movement, no colors
Just silence
Rise and fall of shame
A search that shall remain
We asked you what you'd seen
You said you didn't care
Sound formed in a vacuum
May seem a waste of time
It's always been just the same
No hearing or breathing
No movement no lyrics
Just nothing
The sign that leads the way
The path we can not take
You've caught me at a bad time
Express yourself
Create the space
You know you can win
Don't give up the chase
Beat the man
Take him on
You never give up
Its one on one
Express yourself
Its one on one
Express yourself
Its one on one
Express yourself
You can't be wrong
When somethings good
Its never gone
Loves got the world in motion
And I know what we can do
Loves got the world in motion
And I can't believe its true
Now is the time
Let everyone see
You never give up
Thats how it should be
Don't get caught
Make your own play
Express yourself
Don't give it away
Express yourself
Its one on one
Express yourself
Its one on one
Express yourself
You can't be wrong
When somethings good
Its never wrong
Loves got the world in motion
And I know what we can do
Loves got the world in motion
And I can't believe its true
Loves got the world in motion
And I know what we can do
Loves got the world in motion
And I can't believe its true
You've got to hold and give
But do it at the right time
You can be slow or fast
But you must get to the line
They'll always hit you and hurt you
Defend and attack
Theres only one way to beat them
Get round the back
Catch me if you can
Cos' I'm the England man
And what you're looking at
Is the master plan
We ain't no hooligans
This ain't a football song
Three lions on my chest
I know we can't go wrong
We're playing for England {In-ger-land}
We're playing the song
We're singing for England {In-ger-land}
Arrivederci its one one one
We're playing for England {In-ger-land}
We're playing the song
We're singing for England {In-ger-land}
Arrivederci its one one one
We're playing for England {In-ger-land}
We're playing the song
We're singing for England {In-ger-land}
Arrivederci its one one one
We're playing for England {In-ger-land}
We're playing the song
We're singing for England {In-ger-land}
Arrivederci its one one one
In fear every day, every evening
He calls her aloud from above
Carefully watched for a reason
Painstaking devotion and love
Surrendered to self preservation
From others who care for themselves
A blindness that touches perfection
But hurts just like anything else
Isolation, isolation, isolation
Mother, I tried, please believe me
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through
I'm ashamed of the person I am
Isolation, isolation, isolation
But if you could just see the beauty
These things I could never describe
These pleasures, a wayward distraction
This is my one, lucky prize
Isolation, isolation, isolation
Isolation, isolation
Radio, live transmission
Radio, live transmission
Listen to the silence, let it ring on
Eyes, dark gray lenses, frightened of the sun
We would have a fine time living in the night
Left to blind destruction, waiting for our sight
And we would go on as though nothing was wrong
And hide from these days, we remained all alone
Staying in the same place, just staying out the time
Touching from a distance, further all the time
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio
Well, I could call out when the going gets tough
The things that we've learnt are no longer enough
No language, just sound, that's all we need know
To synchronize love to the beat of the show
And we could dance
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio
(Verse)
From my head to my toes
I can hardly believe the things that I read are not
That it's hard, fly it in your plane and drive it in
your car
You're a superstar, yes you are,
Signing autographs, making people laugh
You'll go far, clever boy,
Girls just wanna be with you, lawyers wanna deal with
you.
(Chorus)
Why don't you wake up
And stop what you're doing right now?
You gotta be true.
You know you don't live forever
Hey, man, it's gotta be right.
Wake up right now, stop what you're doing,
You've gotta be true,
You know you don't live forever,
Hey, man, it's gotta be right.
(Verse)
Write a book about your life,
I can hardly believe the things that you need at home
With your wife, you treat it like a game, but this made
you pretty fame
With perfect hair and your clothes,
It's just another day in a life of a superstar.
It's gotta be the way, it's the same, no matter who you
are.
(Chorus)
Why don't you wake up
And stop what you're doing right now?
You gotta be true.
You know you don't live forever
Hey, man, it's gotta be right.
Wake up right now, stop what you're doing,
You've gotta be true,
You know you don't live forever,
Hey, man, it's gotta be right.
(Bridge)
Take care over what you do,
You gotta take care of what you are.
You gotta take care of what you're not,
You gotta take care of what you've got.
(Chorus)
Why don't you wake up
And stop what you're doing right now?
You gotta be true.
You know you don't live forever
Hey, man, it's gotta be right.
Wake up right now, stop what you're doing,
You've gotta be true,
You know you don't live forever,
Hey, man, it's gotta be right.
It's just another day in a life of a superstar.
It's gotta be the way, it's the same, no matter who you
are.
It's just another day in a life of a superstar.
It's gotta be the way, it's the same, no matter who you
are.
Hey Joe what you're doing?
It seems like it's all going wrong
There's a storm in the sky passing over
And it looks like it's going to be strong
You've got eyes like an old wounded soldier
They cry tears to the losts in the wind
Hey Joe
Hey Joe
Hey Joe
What are your gonna do?
I looked for you
I'll get you home
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I've got to find you
I've got to find you (Whatever you do)
I looked for you
I'll take you there
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I've got to find you
Whatever I do (Whatever you do)
Hey Joe what you're doing?
They say you don't care anymore
You had your heart
by a woman
Now it doesn't work anymore
She said that you had it coming
That you were no good from the start
Hey Joe
Hey Joe
Hey Joe
Time to go home
I looked for you
I'll get you home
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I've got to find you
I've got to find you (Whatever you do)
I looked for you
I'll take you there
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I've got to find you
Whatever I do (Whatever I do)
Whatever I do (Whatever I do)
Whatever I do (Whatever I do)
Whatever I do (Whatever I do)
The other day I came across
Someone I knew and he was lost
I don't care what we have done
You never will believe it
It's a life that's made for me
Where I can be completely free
So long as I obey this sound
That echoes all around
Just like the ocean or the sea
Just like the blood that burns in me
Someone like you cannot be free
Just like a lock without a key
Just like the ocean or the sea
Just like the blood that burns in me
Someone like you cannot be free
Just like a lock without a key
Just like the ocean or the sea
Just like the blood that burns in me
Someone like you cannot be free
Just like a lock without a key
Just like the ocean or the sea
Just like the blood that burns in me
Someone like you cannot be free
Just like a lock without a key
So, I thought this cannot be
There's someone else in here with me
I don't care where we have been
You never will believe it
I know you and you know me
And we're as happy as we can be
I know where this world belongs
It don't mean much to me
Just like the ocean or the sea
Just like the blood that burns in me
Someone like you cannot be free
In a manger like Christ I lay
Yellow fever, yellow hay
Feel the rhythm, sweetest sound
Making, breaking sacred ground
I'd give you a piece of my love for free
But whatever I say you'll never see
Acquire a taste for a different sound
Make or break it this side of town
Life will never be the same
In Port-Royal town, I hear it coming
The shaking of the ground
They're stealing in the day
In Port-Royal town, the children are running
Ever strange the lives we lead
So detached from the things we need
Signs of greed in everyone
Instant eviction and the blood on a gun
Just when you think you've found it
Spinning world I want to spin around it
What is wrong? This pain won't peel
The fibres of my life won't heal
How can I ever forget you
You don't know just what I've been through
The holiday we spent together
Lives with me now and forever
I tried but I can't find you
Tell me now what do I do
I tried but I can't find you
Tell me now what do I do
I can't find my piece of mind
Because I need you with me all of the time
I used to think about you night and day
I used to feel what language cannot say
Oh I can't find you
No I can't find my piece of mind without you
Maybe you'd write me a letter
And tell me why I never met you
Our rendezvous just ended in sorrow
Without you there's no tomorrow
I tried but I can't find you
Tell me now what do I do
I tried but I can't find you
Tell me now what do I do
I can't find my piece of mind
Because I need you with me all of the time
I used to think about you night and day
I didn't care what other people would say
Oh I can't find you
No I can't find my piece of mind without you
I can't find my piece of mind
Because I need you with me all of the time
I used to think about you night and day
I used to feel what language cannot say
Oh I can't find you
No I can't find my piece of mind without you
Ibiza, Majorca, and Benidorm too

I turn sideways to the sun
keep my thoughts from everyone
It's a jungle, I'm a freak
Hear me talk, but never speak
So I'm stepping out of time
because breaking is a crime
And it may all be too late
but I've no passion for this hate
That's the price of love (that's the price of love)
Can you feel it (can you feel it)
If we could buy it now (that's the price of love)
how long would it last (that's the price of love)
And when this building is on fire
these flames can't burn any higher
I turn sideways to the sun
and in a moment I am gone
That's the price of love (that's the price of love)
Can you feel it (can you feel it)
If we could buy it now (that's the price of love)
how long would it last (that's the price of love)
That's the price of love (that's the price of love)
Can you feel it (can you feel it)
If we could buy it now (that's the price of love)
Who's that over there
Looks like he dont care
Almost lost his time
Too much working overtime
Gotta get up every night
Sit against an open wide
Gonna get away from here
Take that car and push that gear
You turn me in no one
He's the rising sun
He wont share no tears
Got no time to break down here, Hey!
He's going nowhere fast
Just a piece of dirty trash
All alone by himself
He dont need nobody else
Walking down the street
So much going on
People everywhere
Look at him but they dont care
See that world out there
Make it go away
You can change his mind
Too much working overtime
Hey! overtime
Overtime
He crossed that wicked line
In trouble all the time
Where did it all go wrong
Hands easy all night long
All those girls out there
Looking for the one
Do they really care
Could they just be having fun
He did all he could
Try to get it right
Somewhere he went wrong
Too much working overtime
Hey! overtime
Open hearts
Empty spaces
Dusty roads
To distant places
But all the time
When I'm alone
I think of you
And how you've grown
Far and wide
Sweet and simple
Jehovah knows
That I've been sinful
But if Jesus comes to take your hand
I won't let go, I won't let go
I'm not cruel
And you're not evil
And we're not like
All those stupid people
Who can't decide
Which book to read
Unless the paper
Sows deceit
You're the kind of person
That I've always wanted to be with
We'll you're really cool
And you always say the right things to me
But now I'll tell you something
From my heart beats for you deep inside
But never be a burden
And my love for you will never die,
never die, never die, never die, never die
But if Jesus comes to take your hand
I won't let go, I won't let go
But if Jesus comes to take your hand
I won't let go, I won't let go
Good times around the corner
Good times around the corner
Good times around the corner
I swear it's getting warmer
Good times around the corner
Good times around the corner
Good times around the corner
I'm gonna live 'til I die
My eyes are weary of you before me
I see for their sake, the light of daybreak
It shines upon me, this day we'd all see
No reason ever was given
No reason ever was given
Two ides of recoil, this moment's glory
A failed reminder of a broken story
My vague emotions one day will find
No reason ever was given
You told me about yourself,
How you once lived with someone else
The way of life that you had tried
The way they hurt you deep inside
That's the only thing about it
I can't find anyone to doubt it
That's the only thing about it
I can't find anyone to doubt it
Who do you think you're talking to?
When I look at you I know you're lying
All you say and do
Seems to fall apart and leave you crying
But I thought I could've seen you here today
But you leave me standing each and every way
You told me a pack of lies
That I can't even reason with
Failure of your moral code
The kind of things that I can't give
That's the only thing about it
I can't find anyone to doubt it
That's the only thing about it
I can't find anyone to doubt it
Who do you think you're talking to?
When I look at you I know you're lying
All you say and do
Seems to fall apart and leave you crying
Who do you think you're talking to?
When I look at you I know you're lying
All you say and do
Three miles to go
Three miles to go
At the end of the road
There's a soldier waiting for me
I've got three miles to go
Three miles to go
At the end of the road
There's a soldier waiting for me
At the end of the road
At the end of the road
At the end of the road
Life goes on and on in this real life fantasy
Forever to be still
Breath held tight inside of me
Life goes on and on in this real life fantasy
Forever to be still
Breath held tight inside of me
Life goes on and on...
It's a red sky tonight
It's a red sky tonight
At the end of the road
Where all futures go
At the end of the road
There's a soldier waiting for me
He's got three miles to go
Three miles to go
At the end of the road
At the end of the road
There's blood on shore
Life goes on and on in this real life fantasy
Forever to be still
Breath held tight inside of me
Life goes on and on in this real life fantasy
Forever to be still
I've been accused of everything
From Tombuctu to old Berlin
I need some armor for my flesh
I need to stop and take a rest
I've been wide-eyed but couldn't see
I stand accused of being me
I believe in politics
I believe in everything
I believe this world of ours is giving me adrenaline
When I hear a baby cry
When I see an old man die
That's just the way it is
Rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack
Rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack
Yeah that's the way it is
I took each day the way it came
I put my future out of frame
The signs were there for all to see
Like blue eyed mind to you and me
My head laid on my beating breast
I swear to you I pass the test
I walked one hundred thousand miles
And you're the judge who's been my trial
? my trial
I believe in politics
I believe in everything
I believe this world of ours is just a den of vice and sins
And even on the darkest night
We could reach for the light
And we could get it right
Get it right, get it right, get it right, get it right
Get it right, get it right, get it right, get it right
I believe in politics
I believe in everything
I believe this world of ours is giving me adrenaline
Ten thousand year ago
Crawling on the floor
Well get up Jack
It's time to rock the shack
Rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack
Rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack
I just can't help thinking
What you've done to me
You built a wall of love and tore it right down
In front of me
And you think you know what's going on
You keep telling me that I am wrong
I don't care about what you do
'Cause if you mess with me I'll get rid of you
The picture you see is no portrait of me
It's too real to be shown to someone I don't know
And it's driving me wild
It makes me act like a child
You think I am crazy, but what can I do
You waste your time, like my money
It ain't so funny, but it's true
(Don't waste my money, baby)
Now you can't tell me what's going on
And that I am weak while you are strong
What is it you need, that makes your heart bleed
Do you really know? 'Cause it doesn't show
The picture you see is no portrait of me
It's too real to be shown to someone I don't know
And it's driving me wild
It makes me act like a child
The picture you see is no portrait of me
It's too real to be shown to someone I don't know
And it's driving me wild
There is no end to this
I have seen your face
But I don't recognize all these things
You must have left behind
It's a problem, you know
That's been there all your life
I try to make you see the world without a view
That just turn black and white
At night, it gets cold and
You'd dearly like to turn away
The escape that fills
Makes you want to turn on heel
Alone, alone, alone, alone
There is no end to this
I can't turn away
Another picture but the scene
It's still the same
There is no room to move
Or try to look away
Remember, life is strange
Life keeps getting stranger every day
I try so hard but this attitude's
A type that won't subside
No matter what they say
Remember, heart beats you, late at night
Your heart beats you, late at night
Your heart beats you, late at night
Maybe I've forgotten the name and the address
Of everyone I've ever known
It's nothing I regret
Save it for another day
It's the school exam and the kids have run away
I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart
I was upset you see
Almost all the time
You used to be a stranger
Now you are mine
I wouldn't even trust you
I've not got much to give
We're dealing in the limits
And we don't know who with
You may think that I'm out of hand
That I'm naive, I'll understand
On this occasion, it's not true
Look at me, I'm not you
I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart
I was a short fuse
Burning all the time
You were a complete stranger
Now you are mine
I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain about my wounded heart
Just wait till tomorrow
I guess that's what they all say
I stood there beside myself,
Thinking hard about the weather
Then came by a friend of mine
Suggested we go out together
Then I knew it from the start:
This friend of mine would fall apart
Pretending not to see his gun,
I said "let's go out and have some fun"
I know, you know, you believe in a land of love
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
I have always thought about
Staying here and going out
Tonight I should have stayed at home,
Playing with my pleasure zone
He has always been so strange,
I'd often thought he was deranged
Pretending not to see his gun,
I said "let's go out and have some fun"
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
When you are alone at night
You search yourself for all the things
That you believe are right
If you give it all away
You throw away your only chance to be here today
Then a fight breaks out on your street
You lose another broken heart in a land of meat
My friend, he took his final breath
It doesn't take a lot to confuse me
I'm not aware of the passing of time
And I'd like to say to those who accuse me
Could you do it while you looked in my eye
If you hold on primitive notion
And if you think you'd like to try
You can drink this magic potion
And you can do it 'til the day that you the day that you die
I've done it before and I'll do it again
A judgement of life that I'll burn 'til the end
How can it be that we're so far apart
I want it to be like it did at the start
I'm doing my best to confound? you
Your behaviour is so volatile
Not even a zoo would impound you
Don't look at me with your criticle smile
Well I've been driving in the wrong gear
It's been a long and lonely ride
It's been winter for a whole year
But you couldn't hurt me if you tried
I've done it before and I'll do it again
Charged with a life that'll burn 'til the end
How can it be that we're so far apart
I want it to be like it did at the start
I've done it before and I'll do it again
A judgement of life that I'll burn 'til the end
How can it be that we're so far apart
I want it to be like it did at the start
I've got a message that I need to send
It's coming to you straight from a friend
I wanted to see what's inside my heart
I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
I don't care 'cause I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again I've taken too much
Of the things that cost you too much
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...
When I was a very small boy,
Very small boys talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see
That's the price that we all pay
Our valued destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there was just no way of knowing
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...
I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
The chances are we've gone too far
You took my time and you took my money
Now I fear you've left me standing
In a world that's so demanding
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
Oh, it's a strange day
In such a lonely way
I saw some children dance
I watched my life in a trance
And the people around me
Seemed so glad to be here
Will my time pass so slowly
On the day that I fear?
And the noise that surrounds me
Pulls so loud in my head
From the promise that healed us
To the lies that I said
Oh, it's a strange day
In such a lonely way
Some people look down on me,
I know they like what they see
Strange day,
Such a strange day
I haven't time to sympathise
With all this nonsense and your lies
You are the king of nothing
But you shall hold me
You've got your finger on the pulse
And in my pocket, yes of course
I am the voice of treason
But you betrayed me
I used up nearly all my luck
I didn't have to try
But yesterday is gone
And now I need an alibi
If this gets any stranger things are gonna change
Cause I can't stand the music, always lying
If that's what it takes I'll do it (I'll do it)
I'll keep on right on through it (on through it)
So please believe me when I say
I wouldn't give the time of day
Because then I'd be faking
When I could tell the truth
Were you abandoned in your youth
Because if not, you will be soon
I'm growing tired of waiting
