The DThe Devil's Luck (everything's going to be alright)
This is the hotline straight to hell
Yeah we're glad that you called us
Have we got a real good deal for you
Our terms and our conditions are second to none
Sign on the dotted line and let's groove

All I want is a little bit of luck
Cos I'm sick and tired of not having any luck
If just for once I could get what I want
I wouldn't ask for more
Is that asking too much?

When are you going to tell me everything's going to be alright?
Is anyone going to tell me everything's going to be alright?

I'm pacing up and down like a tiger in a cage
Counting every second ticking by I can't wait….
To change my situation
With no deliberation
You won't have to ask me twice
Because it ain't so nice
When opportunities are disappearing left, right and centre
All you want to do is reach just some of your potential
a little bit of the devil's luck is gonna help you believe

When are you going to tell me everything's going to be alright?
Is anyone going to tell me everything's going to be alright?

Of all the times that you had to go
You really picked one when I could do with you by my side
Of all the things that you had to say
I've never heard nuttin' so ridiculous in my life
Of everyone that you could've picked
Why d'you get me when you could have had anyone
I have to know
My luck has got to show

This is the hotline straight to hell
Yeah we're glad that you called us
We've got another real good deal for you
Our terms and our conditions are second to none
Sign on the line - you've got nothing to lose
(Why don't you) recommend a friend
so you don't wreck your chances
of helping us to help you again
we can go back on our word
you can do nothing about it
the devil's luck will stick 'til the end
When are you going to tell me everything's going to be alright?
Is anyone going to tell me everything's going to be alright?

 

Don't Ask the Giraffe Man
Don't ask me what I think
Cos something in my head don't seem quite right
You know it just doesn't fit since I drilled a hole in it
And when the cat's away the mice will play
But you know it doesn't mean a thing when I say…
"You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in this world"
well, since this afternoon….it's true
but that's what I shouldn't tell you

but I'm my own worst enemy
I'm my own worst enemy and my biggest fan
He's his own worst enemy
He's his own worst enemy
But I'm my biggest fan

Now I'm the same as anybody else
I've got ideas and opinions about every little thing
I just can't keep them to myself
When I open up my mouth the words come pouring out
It might be good, or bad, or really screwed up
I don't cut anything out

I'm gonna tell you all the things you don't want to know
I'm gonna show you all the things I should've left at home
Oh, I've done it again……

You can ask the monkey man
You can ask the geurilla man
You can ask the elephant man
But don't ask the giraffe-man

You can ask the spider man
You can ask the alligator man
You can ask the bunny man
But don't ask the giraffe-man

cos I'm my own worst enemy
I'm my own worst enemy and my biggest fan
He's his own worst enemy
He's his own worst enemy
But I'm my biggest fan

You can ask the panda man
You can ask the polar bare-man
You can ask the frog man
But don't ask the giraffe-man

You can ask the bird man
You can ask the python man
You can ask the batman
But don't ask the giraffe-man

You can ask the elephant man
You can ask the foxyman
You can ask the wolf man
But don't ask the giraffe-man

 

Posses Me
Every day I get out of my bed
and think about a brand new start
and everyday is another step away from the reality
that I will go far
but I don't want verything
but look at you man - you already got everything.

I don't want to be here in another year and that's no lie
I don't want to be here when I'm old and on my own
So I give you my soul
I want you to possess me
I'll give you all that I own
Yeah, I want you to possess me

and now the rest........

Jon’s World
The place I live is bigger than the biggest loft conversion
In fact it’s infinitely large
it could fit the world of Arthur C Clarke in
I don’t mind now if you cast me aside now baby
‘cos I live in my own world
all the things I want to do I do them when I want
so what you say will make no difference
‘cos I live in Jon’s world
I’ve never been to Arizona
with dry desert sun and rattlesnake skins
So I’m sitting on a horse, James Stewart at my side
He say’s "Howdy Jon Can"
I say "Howdy Jimmy"
I could not believe this, but it was realer than real
the thing that makes it seem even more strange
is that I’ve not taken any drugs for quite a few years
I don’t mind now if you cast me aside now baby
‘cos we live in our own world
all the things we want to do we do them when we want
so what you say will make no difference
‘cos we’re in our own world
Yip Yip Yip Yeah
You don’t understand how we can have so much fun
You think that we should pay before we can get some
Rules don’t appeal, like a dose of Salmonella
your world’s just a little close to hell
We don’t mind now if you cast us aside now baby
‘cos we live in our own world
all the things we want to do we do them when we want
so what you do will make no difference
‘cos we’re in our own world
This is Jon’s world - where he wants to be
This is Jon’s world - where he wants to be
This is our world - where we want to be
This is our world - where we want to be

Fallen Angel
If I ever say things that wind you up
you’ve got to tell me babe
If you want anything from me
you know you’ve just got to say
cos I want to
be the one who’s
gonna help you to get right through
do all the things that you want to do
no matter what anybody says or even if I approve
I’ve not seen all the things you have
but I’ll try to understand
but if you’re talking pain, burning petrol with a flame
well it’s time to think again
cos I want to
be the one who’s
gonna help you shake off your blues
bang a few heads together
knock some sense into the people
who think you aren’t worth standing up for
Who are you going to kick
when you want to kick somebody ‘round
Kick me ‘til I’m black and blue
Who are you going to shout at
when you want to hear your voice loud
Cos I hear everything you do
but I do believe
you’re the one for me
I help you, that helps me
Oh Yeah
cos I want to
be the one who’s
gonna help you to get right through
do all the things that you want to do
no matter what anybody says or even if they approve
Who are you going to kick
when you want to kick somebody ‘round
Kick me ‘til I’m bleeding babe
Who are you going to shout at
when you want to hear your voice loud
I soak up everything you say
cos I want to
be the one who’s
gonna help you to get right through
do all the things you want to do
I want to
be the one who’s
gonna help you
shake off those blues

Drag me Down
I feel no shame looking into your world
It’s such a weird, weird world
Tell me how I can be part of this
‘cos I want to be part of this
and if in time you feel that nothing much has changed
well you’ve just become numb
to the things that you’ve done
you think it’s normal to behave this way
All I want’s for you to make my day
no I won’t let it slip away
‘cos you know that I would miss you
it only seems like yesterday when I first saw your face
don’t want to lose it again
I’ve got nothing left
but you keep surprising me
with just one more step down that slippery slope
how could you forget so easily
Don’t drag me down
Now here’s something strange
You hurt me like hell but I feel no pain
No pseudonym, no disguise
You can’t hide away behind 3D eyes
I want to see the real you
to see what lurks behind there
Don’t make me wait
Don’t keep me hanging on
Don’t keep it up any longer
All I want’s for you to make my day
no I won’t let it slip away
‘cos you know that that would kill me
it only seems like yesterday when I first saw you
don’t want to lose you again
I’ve got nothing left
but you keep surprising me
with just one more step down that slippery slope
how could you forget so easily
Don’t drag me down
Now you’re all used up
You gave it everything but it was never enough
Now it’s all too much
the proximity of reality scares me half to death
now there’s a twist in the tail I would rather forget
So easily
Don’t drag me down

Slow, slow, slow
She’s the centre of her own universe
but she hates the hum-drum nature of her day
She spends more and more time in her own private world
Knowing it will take her breath away
Say I’m not dreaming
Say that you’re sure
Tell me about everything you saw
No-one really knows what happened to her
Her friends say she just flipped
and others laugh it was a UFO
but she came back with a whole new perspective
She wasn’t even flea spit in her picture of the world
Tell me I’m dreaming
Tell me you’re sure
Tell me about everything you saw
It seems like I’ll be going out in style
‘cos it feels like it’s the only thing I haven’t tried
Don’t want to be, don’t want to see, don’t want to feel
I don’t want to know
I don’t understand how you can be so very keen
when it all goes so slow
it all goes slow
it’s all so slow
At a glance you’d have said that she’s just a girl
but she’s lived a thousand lives and it’s starting to show
She wanted her recklessness to be her saviour
As if she’d ever know
Tell me I’m dreaming
Tell me you’re sure
I’ll tell you about everything that I saw
It seems like I’ll be going out in style
‘cos it feels like it’s the only thing I haven’t tried
Don’t want to be, don’t want to see, don’t want to feel
I don’t want to know
I don’t understand how you can be so very keen
when it all goes so slow
it all goes slow
it’s all so slow
It’s all too slow
way too slow
it’s all too slow
way too slow

Big Fat Head
It’s cold outside
It’s even colder in his room
He set his clock for 8
but he slept right through until noon
He puts the fire on to try and get some heat
but it fills the place with fumes
‘One of these days I’m going to gas myself’ he thinks
and then he goes back to sleep for a long, long snooze
We’ll show you something you wouldn’t believe
Open up your mind now
and put your brain in receive
We don’t have any answers that you couldn’t find
Unless you’re like him
He’s got a Big Fat Head with nothing inside
He keeps his money in the bank
He keeps his books on the shelf
He keeps his mice in the yoghurt
I just wish he’d keep his thoughts to himself
He’s a Shiite in nylon armour who don’t know how to move
but he thinks he’s really cool
Sometimes I think we’re in a back-to-front world
‘cos the fuck-ups have the money and the idiots rule
We’ll show you something you wouldn’t believe
Open up your mind now
and put your brain in receive
We don’t have any answers that you couldn’t find
Unless you’re like him
He’s got a Big Fat Head with nothing inside

MAKE ME HAPPY
I cannot see your face
but I recall every single feature on it
It’s not something I chose
in fact I’ve tried so hard to forget it
I could not forget the time with you
no, not a single minute
You chewed me up and spat me out
you screwed me up and messed me about
you messed me about
I remember you
‘cos you’re the only one who ever made me happy
Don’t say it’s true
you’ve come back to mess me up and make me happy
I’m all over you now
just keep on saying it and keep believing it
The way I feel right now
I don’t want you to make me happy
So much has changed since you were here
but you have changed so little
The things you used to do don’t seem so cool no more
no, I don’t want to remember
I’d rather close my eyes and picture you
as you are in my memory
Warped by time, distorted in space
forget the past, forget reality
forget reality
I remember you
‘cos you’re the only one who ever made me happy
Don’t say it’s true
you’ve come back to mess me up and make me happy
I’m all over you now
just keep on saying it and keep believing it
The way I feel right now
I don’t want you to make me happy
No I don’t know what I should do
to do myself a favour
stop myself going crazy
No I don’t know what I should do
to shake you up
and make you stop making me feel so lazy
I don’t want to do what you do anymore, oh no
Let’s call it a day
I remember you
‘cos you’re the only one who ever made me happy
Don’t say it’s true
you’ve come back to mess me up and make me happy
I’m all over you now
just keep on saying it and keep believing it
The way I feel right now
I don’t want you to make me happy

BEEN SO LONG
It’s been so long
since I’ve known what it’s like to make love to you
24 hours is a lifetime when I’m not with you
Yeah, you’ve got me acting crazy
you’ve got me acting like a fool
but I wouldn’t change a thing
No, I can’t lose
cos I know that things are looking good for me
there’s nothing more that I need
as long as I see you again
It’s been so long
since I’ve known what it’s like to lie next to you
I get so very frightened by some of the things we do
but you take me to places no one else takes me to
Both ends burning is the only way to live
I know it’s true
cos I know that things are looking good for me
there’s nothing more that I need
as long as I see you again
So I’m going down
finding out what you’re about
Every sound wakes me up a little more
and tells me I can’t live without you baby
It’s been so long
since I’ve known what it’s like to make love to you
There’s a million things I’ve yet to finish
but I’ve nothing better to do
I put my life in proportion
and there’s nothing close to you
All my ambitions are worth nothing without you
I suppose I just want to be in love with you
I think I just want to be in love with you
I suppose I just want to be with you
I think I just want to be with you
I suppose I just want to be you

THERE AIN’T NO JUSTICE (tanj)
Well we’ve all got the freedom to chose
but whatever the choice you lose
Yeah, that’s right
because life ain’t so nice
when there ain’t no justice
Please tell me why next time never comes
it’s always next time
I can’t explain what you decide in your mind
and why you say what you say
I don’t believe (there ain’t no justice)
but all I see is (there ain’t no justice)
Sometimes it seems (there ain’t no justice)
there’s no one else on your side
Well we’ve all got the freedom to chose
but whatever the choice you lose
Yeah, that’s right
because life ain’t so nice
when there ain’t no justice
Is it my turn now to play God
God, I could have so much fun deciding what I want
or is that part not coming my way
Oh well, perhaps another day
because I could never decide (there ain’t no justice)
what to do with your life (there ain’t no justice)
I could cause a scene (there ain’t no justice)
wrap you ‘round my little finger
The rich get richer and the hungry starve
Spoilt kids driving round in big flash cars
Too much shit getting into the charts
and I don’t think I’ll ever see Man on Mars
The world’s getting smaller but the problems are big
but we’re so out of touch we don’t know where to begin
Andrew Lloyd-Weber's got another million quid
and half your weeks money just to go and see a gig
You lie and you cheat just to get what you want
Taking all the credit for the things that I’ve done
You’re asking for trouble and it won’t be fun
and there ain’t no rules so we’re all going to lose
I don’t believe (there ain’t no justice)
but all I see is (there ain’t no justice)
Sometimes it seems (there ain’t no justice)

DAYDREAMER
All through the day I'm in a daze
I close my eyes and I'm miles away
Ah well, there goes another week
I lie in bed and I toss and turn
I don't dream
I don't count no sheep
No matter what I do I can't sleep
Daydreamer
I've just not got my clock in sync
What do you see now
I see through the clouds
Daydreamer
Wait 'til tomorrow
the day that never comes where everything is possible
Daydreamer
I'm just adjusting my plan
What do you say now
I've said as much as I can
Daydreamer
Wait 'til tomorrow
the day that never comes where everything is possible
Stay, stay for a while now.
'cos I know it's gonna come right.
Don't go, go on your own now.
'cos I know it's gonna come right.
and I'll show, show you the way now.
'cos I know it's gonna come right.
'cos I know it's gonna come right.
I feel the distance getting wide
between my body and my mind
I hope I've not got in too deep
Out from the corner of my eye
I see somebody standing by
but when I turn my head I can't see
Daydreamer
I've just had a bad day
So what's next then
well I'm going to contend
Daydreamer
Wait 'til tomorrow
the day that never comes where everything is possible
Daydreamer
Only time will tell
So what's next then
whether I'm doing well
Daydreamer
Wait 'til tomorrow
the day that never comes where everything is possible
Stay, stay for a while now
'cos I know it's gonna come right
Don't go, go on your own now
'cos I know it's gonna come right
and I'll show, show you the way now
'cos I know it's gonna come right
so stay, stay for a while now
'cos I know it's gonna come right

PLEASE DON’T GO
Think I’m going to miss you
when you’re not around
cos I heard that you’re leaving
I always thought you’d stick around
but I’ve got something inside my head
that just clicks into place when I see your face
it makes me light up inside
and I don’t know what it means
but you just can’t leave in this state of mind
Please don’t go
Please don’t go
Now I don’t want to dull my senses
but I’ve got too much stimulus
I don’t want to take more chances
but I’m in too deep and I’ve not had enough
You tell me politely
You tell me again
You let me down lightly
but it maens the same
It’s down to myself
So many solutions to every problem
is a problem itself
What I would do if I were in your shoes
is something else
What I think is good for me may not be good for me
Same for you as well
Please don’t go
cos I want you near me
Please don’t go
Can’t you hear me
Please don’t go
I know you don’t need me
Please don’t go
Don’t you believe me
Please don’t go

GOING HOME
Falling to earth out of the sky
never hit the ground
Holding on
but there's nothing there
it's out of my hands
I'm stuck in a trap
which I made myself
only one way out
Gonna move on
from where I came
I'm gonna need your help
I, I need to know
that you care for me
for I, I can't cope on my own
I, I need to know
you'll be there for me
Ooh I'm going home
Be my eyes, be my satellite
be my lover, be my clown
don't analyse
and don't criminalise
what I love to do in my mind
Not so long ago
I couldn't do any wrong for you
now everything's turned around
I find the good
in being kicked in the head
'cos at least I know I'm alive
I, I need to know
that you care for me
for I, I can't cope on my own
I, I need to know
you'll be there for me
Ooh I'm going home
I need to know I'm going home

CAN'T GET YOU OFF MY MIND
I close my eyes, breathe in deep
and taste the sweet smell of the past
I savour this moment
because I'm gonna want to make it last
Sometimes I think I should let it slip away
but more often that not these days
I just want to say that I...
yes I can't get you off my mind
Now I'm flying through every night and day
I don't worry 'bout anything when I feel this way
I've made every time the last time ever since the first
but I can't get the brakes on now
I can't get this in reverse
No I, I can't get you off my mind
Well it seemed for a moment it was worth everything
'cos in the heat of the moment I'd do anything
but then all of a sudden it's gone like it was a dream
and then it's gone, gone, 'til again
I can't get you off my mind, oh no
No matter how I try I can't get you off my mind

A GOOD THING
I, I should have known better
If you're looking for love you'll be looking forever
when you say right I'm thinking wrong
It's different things
that we're talking of because I..
I'm talking about a good thing
Oh talking about a good thing
I let you get to me , yeah
I should have known better
Well I've got news for you
you little go-getter
You've got to think again
if you've nothing to say
but simple talk of 'One day'
you've got to
Stop talking of love and talk about a good thing
Oh talking about a good thing
I, I should have known better
If you're looking for love
you'll be looking forever
you've got to
Stop talking of love and talk about a good thing
Stop talking of love and talk about a good thing
Stop talking of love get down to a good thing

BETTER OFF DEAD (bod)
I don’t mind if I’m losing myself
It’s all in your head
You’re better off without me
Don’t say when
Because I saw you that time
But it’s all in your head
and I’m better off without me
I want to get away from myself
I want to hide away from myself
I want to run away from myself
I want to get away from myself
Get away
Get away from myself
I don’t mind if you’re losing yourself
because it’s all in your mind
you’re better off dead
Don’t say why
because I saw you then
but it’s all in my mind
I’m better off dead
I want to get away from myself

PERFECT 2DAY
I want a perfect day today
There's a time when there's nothing left to say
You've got to let go of something close to your heart
so wind it back and let it play
let it play
You've done the work and you've made your plans
There's only so much you can do in advance
so let it go
let it go
Everything's in place, yeah you've got it glued down
Well, as far as you can 'cos nothing's that sound
so make your choice and take a chance
It gets your heart beating faster
and you're pacing up and down
yeah you're right on the edge
You're fully wound
It's pure adrenaline
and if I had to change the way
that I live from day to day
well I could never, never do that so I just pray
that today will be the day
that mistakes will not be made
Oh I pray for that perfect day today
I want a perfect day today
Now I can believe when the world's full of doubt
but my world is so small it really doesn't count
but I know what I know
and it shows
To swim against the tide yeah you've got to be strong
'cos you get swept back when you could be pushing on
hey, talk about slow
Watch your garden grow
All the things you said you told me to ignore
well they keep coming back and knocking on my door
like I've never been away
Have you ever been away?
No, even though I've changed and tried to move away
the words I wished I'd never said come flying in my face
too often these days
and if I had to change the way
that I live from day to day
well I could never, never do that so I just pray
that today will be the day
Once again I will be saved
Oh I pray for that perfect day today
I want a perfect day today

GIVE ME THE REASON
So tired, tired of you dragging along
Are you tired of living
now your youth has been and gone?
I remember what you used to say
You don't live to your own ideals
and you won't fade away
but I'm doing my best to get across to you
Give me the Reason
Why you won't fade away
Give me the Reason
Why you're always the same day after day
Give me the Reason
You never move on
Give me the Reason
Why no one thinks anymore
that you should be long gone
If I were you I might do the same
but when you were like me you never thought that way
and when I say the same, it's not quite true
for I'd substitute stale with fresh and new
and why, can't you see
that it's got to be good to have energy
it's not good, not good enough
to be polished, produced with a bit of a hook
Everything is just to nice
I'm sick to death of sugar and spice
Unless there's a change in the way that we think
all our standards will continue to sink
I'm looking for alternative suggestions
Give me the Reason
Why you won't fade away
Give me the Reason
Why you're always the same day after day
Give me the Reason
You never move on
Give me the Reason
Why no one thinks anymore
that you should be long gone
Give me the Reason (Give me the Reason)
Why you won't fade away
Give me the Reason (Give me the Reason)
Why you're always the same day after day
Give me the Reason (Give me the Reason)
You never move on
Give me the Reason (Give me the Reason)
Why no one thinks anymore
that you should be long gone

MAKE IT RIGHT (New Religion)
This time you've got to put it right
'cos I know that you're out of time
ooh-ooh-ooh, so make it right
ooh-ooh-ooh, let's make it right
Tell me why you're in such a state
Two thousand years...
You're still out of date
ooh-ooh-ooh, make it right
ooh-ooh-ooh, make it right
In your eyes it's all black and white
Too quick to judge
You're too eager to fight
You can't go 'round just changing the rules
It's unbelievable the way you use...
no excuses, no defence
I can only assume that you can't see sense
ooh-ooh-ooh, so make it right
ooh-ooh-ooh....
Make it right
I say you've got to believe
Even when reason's up a-blowin' in the breeze
You know you've only got enough
Enough to hate and not enough to love
Why don't you give it a try
It can make you feel like you've never been alive
but keep it out of your private life
and don't forget that passions run high
Oh no what can I say
a hundred different things and they're all the same
To which one do you belong
I can't say for I can't tell the right from the wrong
Yeah, yeah, yeah

FREEDOM RIDER
You're my freedom rider
You take me to the skies and then you take me higher
You've got to take me for a ride
You're my freedom rider
You take me to the skies and then you take me higher
Well you do what you want and you say what you want
Never lose control
My freedom rider let's go
Take me for a ride
My freedom rider
Take me to the skies and you take me higher
You're my freedom rider
You take me to the skies and then you take me higher
Well you do what you want and you say what you want
Never lose control
My freedom rider let's go
Take me for a ride

THE CRAZY CONNECTION
I know what I am and I know what I like
You never leave me alone to get on with my life
I really don't know which way I should turn
but if I don't take the plunge it's like a turn for the worse
If I could tidy my mind like I tidy my room
decisions would be easier and come more soon
but my mind's full of rubbish
even worse than the charts
It's these kind of things that drive me crazy
Do you know who you think you are?
because the person that you really are
may not be the same
If you feel that you want to change
just do it
cos it's never too late in the day
what if all the things you like
you really don't like
you've just been following the hype
when will you ever decide..
It's these kind of things that drive you crazy
You pull yourself together and you want to come clean
but you're still not really sure
which way you should lean
Everyone's as helpful as a pair of shades at night
they make you look stupid
and they don't improve your sight
You know it doesn't matter what anyone thinks
but it's hard to believe this
when they're calling you a fink
the easy option really isn't easy to do
It's these kind of things that drive you crazy
These kind of things drive me crazy

BE MYSELF
Sometimes I fancy a little change
How about a bit of life to rearrange
What if you could just pick and choose
to step into someone else's shoes
then I could be anyone I wanted to be
Yes, we could be anyone else we wanted to be
Spoilt for choice yeah so much to chose
Line them up and let me loose
'Cos everyone's got something or something to do
that I could do with myself or is pretty cool
But do you want to look like that and think those thoughts
Wear those clothes and think yourself a fool
All your memories and your life, yeah you'd have to lose
Well I've changed my mind
I just want to be myself
I don't want to be anyone else
I just want to be myself
I don't want to be anybody else
If I could change temporarily
well that would be a different matter entirely
It would be like a human chocolate factory
far to many to list... but seeing as you asked me
If I could be anyone I wanted to be
and if we could be anyone else we wanted to be
I don't want to beJimmy Stewart

YOU'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES
You've got everything
You've got what you need
So make believe
that this could be perfect
but not dead perfection, oh no
You put all the right words
in all the right places
so make believe
that this could be perfect
but not dead perfection, oh no
Yeah you've got it and you know you know
but what of those that haven't and don't
Can you prove it
Can you show
to those that matter the most
You've got what it takes
to stand out in a crowd
You've got what it takes
Yeah, you really have got style
but I don't want to know you now
unless you're a-changin'
You've got everything
You've got what you need
So make believe
that this could be perfect
but not dead perfection, oh no
Yeah you've got it and you know you know
but what of those that haven't and don't
Can you prove it
Can you show
to those that matter the most
You've got what it takes
to stand out in a crowd
You've got what it takes
Yeah, you really have got style
but I don't want to know you now
unless you're a-changin'

DREAM
You took a part of me when you left us
and I never even knew that you really existed until now
Hard and soft and the oh so fine
well they all come together
to not far short of perfection in my eye
I never saw your face
I never knew your name
I never knew anything at all
How could you do these things
Oh you make me feel so small
I dream of you even though it makes me cry
I live for you, I'd even die
I can't shake this feeling that is deep inside
No matter what I do I can't get you out of my mind
'cos you give me pain
which gives me pleasure
and the pleasure kills the pain
I dream of you baby and I wish we could go back
and do it differently this time
Try it all over again
I know I see things a little differently now
or do I just see different things
I know I'm getting better but I feel I'm getting worse
but it's difficult to judge
when you've already passed the point
of no return
I don't want to hear anymore
I don't want to see anymore
I've seen everything I need
'cos all I know of you, it's beautiful
Beautiful to me
I dream of you even though it makes me cry
I live for you, I'd even die
I can't shake this feeling that is deep inside
No matter what I do I can't get you out of my mind
'cos you give me pain
which gives me pleasure
and the pleasure kills the pain
I dream of you baby and I wish we could go back
and do it differently this time
Try it all over again

THE WAY TO LIVE
Gonna build you up
Gonna put you down
Gonna make you feel from out of town
Got no sense if you don't look around
Gonna tell you something now so don't make a sound
but you still don't know
Well I've got myself
and I've got my pride
Don't try and argue for I never take sides
Every avenue is worth a try
It's so damn easy to take you for a ride
but you still don't know
I, I tell you what day it is
and I, I show you which way it is
and I, I show you the way to live
and you throw it away
I'm gonna pump you up
I'm gonna push you out
I'm gonna make it look like you carry some clout
Pretty soon know you won't need to shout
You think there's a problem but
No, I've got it sorted out
but you still don't know
If you dig in deep and you hide away
don't mess with me this is not a game
don't say then that you want to play...
now and then, it's got to be every day
but you still don't know
I, I tell you what day it is
and I, I show you which way it is
and I, I show you the way to live
and you throw it away
Ah-ah the Way to Live
I'm gonna build you up
I'm gonna put you down
I'm gonna make you feel from out of town
Got no sense if you don't look around
I've told you once
I've told you a thousand times
but you still don't know
I, I tell you what day it is
and I, I show you which way it is
and I, I show you the way to live
and you throw it away
It's the Way to Live

BREATHE
You're all that we need
I've got nothing to do so can I stay
but 'Don't come knocking on my door' is all you say
I've got no reason for coming 'round
I'm just a little worried
'bout these things keep going down
Oh no, it's out of my hands
it's much too much for this man
I don't know what I can do
What the hell, I give it you
because you're all that we need
If in time you feel the Earth beneath you breathe
I will concede, I will concede that you...
you're all that we need
I could take you anywhere no doubt
When you bring it down to the bottom line
it's the only thing that counts
but I've never seen you laugh
and I've never seen you cry
Have you ever done anything that came from deep inside
Oh no, it's out of my hands
it's much too much for this man
I don't know what I can say
What the ****, I give it away
If in time you feel the Earth beneath you breathe
I will concede, I will concede that you..
You're all that we need

TIME TO HEAL
If the story breaks you've got no place to hide
If the story gets out they won't believe your lies
It won't matter what you say
'cos they'll all make up their own minds
It won't matter what you do
'cos they'll all make it up
and chose their sides
Oh no, If the story gets out they won't believe your lies
Oh no, If the story gets out you've got no place to hide
What do you want if the story breaks
All I want is time to heal
Time to feel and to be myself
All I want is time to heal
Time to feel and to be myself
and if it's going to come now it's better sooner than later
at least that'll help the damage limitation
Just a matter of time before they find out
every little thing about your life
and it can only get better, unless it gets worse
but I just can't think of being so hurt
Please, please give me the time
Time to heal and time to be myself

NEVER ENOUGH
This is never enough
I've got a time bomb
tick tick tick ticking away
Not going to sit back and wait for this
It might not come anyway
You show me all the things you plan
like you're manned flight to Mars
You know these things will never happen
until you put yourself on the line and risk yourself harm
so start
Giving it everything that you can
this is never enough
I move Heaven and Earth and I leave no stone unturned
this is never enough
'cos I'm one step ahead of you
I anticipate every move
Don't misunderstand me
I'd do anything for you
Giving it everything and some more too
This is never enough, enough for you
I'll tell you the story and I'll only tell the truth
but I'll leave out all the bad things
and just show the pleasant view
Why can't it be this easy and why can't it be soon
I've told you once and told you twice
to double what you do
and you're always asking questions
but the answers never heard
it makes no difference anyway
I never act upon your words
Time to you means nothing
it just measures your days
as the weeks and years go drifting by
in a blurred and flashing haze
Giving it everything that you can
this is never enough
I move Heaven and Earth and I leave no stone unturned
this is never enough
'cos I'm one step ahead of you
I anticipate every move
Don't misunderstand me
I'd do anything for you
Giving it everything and some more too
This is never enough, enough for you

LEAVE OUT THE BAD
No, I couldn't believe it
but I could see it
or was I only dreaming
Now, in next to no time
I got the good times, not bad
No, don't go running away now
just turn and face it
Yeah you've got to be strong
No, don't shed a tear now
Just wipe it away now
and you'll get what you want
Ah, you've got to give me the good times
and leave out the bad
Some things may get forgotten
but most things come back to often
You've got to leave out the bad
No, no this may not be easy
but you'd have to be crazy
not to give it a try
You, you think you may have the answer
but that don't mean a thing, no
if the truth doesn't show
There is no easy answer
You've got to take a chance now and then yeah
or are you only dreaming
Keep right on straight ahead now
20-20 clear as a bell, like it's obvious
but you just couldn't tell
Ah, you've got to give me the good times
and leave out the bad
Some things may get forgotten
but most things come back to often
You've got to leave out the bad
Next to no time
Give me the good times
Leave out the bad

THE GIRL'S INSANE
All the words he's ever said
are turned and twisted 'round
until they say just what she wants them to say
Nothing that you could do would ever change her view
on how to live her life anyway
but I don't know if I could ever explain
All of the things that go on in her brain
The girl's insane
That much is plain
She’ll never change
but she's happy that way
See her eyes light up
at the merest mention of his name
It's so sad to see her wasting away
Blissful ignorance aside, blind vision behind her
She's still going to think she's OK
but I don't know if I could ever explain
Half of the things that go on in her brain
The girl's insane
That much is plain
She’ll never change
but she's happy that way
turnaround...
Don't tell me what I believe in
I know what I'm seeing
You try to pull it down
You think that everything I do is wrong
So just kill me
I'm not trying to keep you happy
I just please myself
So I don't want anything to do with you or anybody else
The girl's insane
That much is plain
She’ll never change
but she's happy that way

DIFFERENT GIRL
It's time for change for we all must keep on moving
It's plain to see that there is somewhere to go
Now I don't want to get there without everything I have
I don't want to get there on my own
It's never been easy
It's painfully slow
Ah-ah, I want you to know
Looking for the time but it's moving so slow
The one thing we all know is she's a different girl
I'm ready to go
Looking for time but it's moving so slow
Looking for time but it's moving so slow
Looking for time..
I'm ready to go, ready to go
Ready to give her all that she wants to know
Looking for the time but it's moving so slow
The one thing we all know is she's a different girl
I'm ready to go
Oh oh-oh she's a different girl

SPIRITUALIZE
What did you know about this man
I knew nothing but I tried to understand
What did you see
I didn't see it clear
I knew it was good and I knew it was strong
and I felt it was a part of me
It goes beyond your imagination
the perfect result of wild inspiration
Open up your mind
Take it deep inside
Sets your soul on fire
Makes you feel alive
Open up your mind
Let your imagination fly
Let it soar high
Let it spiritualize
It goes beyond your imagination
the perfect result of wild inspiration
Open up your mind
Take it deep inside
Sets your soul on fire
Makes you feel alive
Open up your mind
Let your imagination fly
Let it soar high
Let it spiritualize

JUST THE SAME
Have you seen all the things that are deep inside
Don't you know you'll never get me to change my mind
Have you seen all the things that they gave to me
Don't you know that these things, they don't come for free
Heaven knows if they really can be a time
When the violence can end
and the people can get back to their lives
Until then don't forget, don't let it slide
Whatever you do, be proud to do it all of the time
Never realised there was so much to show
All that I can do is here before you
Why don't you come and take it from me
'til I ain't got nothing left on my plate
I want to understand everything before me
I never understood why I see these things I see
We're just the same
Never realised there was so much to show
All that I can do is here before you
Why don't you come and take it from me
'til I ain't got nothing left on my plate
I want to understand everything before me
I've never seen a difference that has worth been showing to me
We're just the same

ROUNDSOUND
Well I beg to differ and I beg to disagree
I beg to contradict you else I wouldn't be true to me
You say you're moving forwards by deftly moving back
You say you'll stay organic but avoid the technology gap
Avoid the gap
Well we could do without that
Well you're just the same
and you never change
and you never wanted to find a new way
If you give it time
then your schizoid mind will always come down
on the other side
This is an impossible question
'cos you're asking me what I cannot see
Never the same, no you're never the same
put yourself into my shoes
and you will find you're always the same
This is an impossible question
Puts your head in a spin but you can't give in
Never the same, no you're never the same
The paradox that you will find
gives a different answer every time
Well I beg to differ and I beg to disagree
I beg to contradict you else I wouldn't be true to me
Well you're just the same
and you never change
and you never wanted to find a new way
If you give it time
then your schizoid mind will always come down
on the other side
This is an impossible question
'cos you're asking me what I cannot see
Never the same, no you're never the same
put yourself into my shoes
and you will find you're always the same
This is an impossible question
Puts your head in a spin but you can't give in
Never the same, no you're never the same
The paradox that you will find
gives a different answer every time

RUN & HIDE
It seems that everything that I thought was right
has turned out wrong
This is the way it is
Puts your head in a spin
Now there's so much to do in the time we've got
Well we've go to chose
what to lose and what to keep
when to turn a blind eye and when to see
and if you find something that you thought was so strong
is really weak
You can but weep
What can you decide but to run and hide...
When I need you
If contradiction is the game
then I was fool enough to play
'cos you said it would make you smile
we always aim to satisfy
Don't tell me what I see
'cos in the back of my mind it is clear to me
It's a different version of the truth
from the one I heard from you
and if perfection's where we aim
am I so far, so far away
far from you
So what should we do
What can you decide but to run and hide...
The conversation may be dead
but I'll keep on talking in my head
Can you tell what I say
Can you understand me this other way
Take the strength in what you've got
though others may say that it's not a lot
Be prepared just to go for it
Don't be surprised if it makes them sick
Sick of it all coming down on them
like they're the ones who are condemned
I turn it onto you
I turn the tables on you
What can you decide but to run and hide

DO RIGHT
Just take the time to look around you
It's not difficult to realise that you've got it made
Don't kid yourself that you've worked so hard for this
Either you've got it or you haven't babe
Do you know what it feels to do right
Can you show what it means to do right
It's easy when the die is cast in your favour
It's easy when the ball lands in your court
but what if you were plucked right out
and put in the deep end
would you actually do the things
that you said you would before
You've got to make it look good
You've got to get it right
Well you've got no choice, no second chances
so you'd better be out of sight
You take two steps forward and then ten steps back
Now you know how it feels to do nothing but lose
no matter how you try
Do you know what it feels to do right
Can you show what it means to do right
This time I'm going to try and do right
I'm looking for the easy way to do right

TRY TRY
I don't know what people say
and what they think about things from day to day
I don't know what people see
when they look me in the eye
Yeah, they're looking at me
but I'll try
I'll try to imagine what goes on inside their mind
I'll try to understand your choice won't always be mine
I want to know just enough to get by
I want to know just enough to get high
I don't know why people don't see
All the little things that are obvious to me
I don't know why people don't say
exactly what they think
like what's wrong and what's OK
but I'll try
I'll try to imagine what goes on inside their mind
I'll try to understand we can't all read the same lines
I want to know just enough to get by
I want to know just enough to get high
I'll try, try

TAKE YOU HIGHER
If you feel just a little bit down
then I, I will come and take you up to higher ground
and when you have no where else to go
then I, I will come and find you and I'll take you home
and if in time you fade away
I will return
Lift you up and ten feet rising
Lift you up and ten feet rising
Come on going to take you higher
Gonna get on up
I've gotta take you higher
You've got to stop now, ear to the ground
It's coming at you from all around
So you take five, and you take ten
It's time and motion this time again
So you stop now, and take it again
It'll keep you going and it'll never end
So you take five, and you take ten
It's time and motion this time again
I've got to take you higher

NO MORE WORDS
No more words
is what you want to give me
I know it don’t come easy
No more words
It’s not so easy for me
I want to say, say everything
for love, love is a dangerous game
and this love will never be the same
Want to tell you everything about me
Cannot tell you or I'll never be free
Let every picture tell a story
if you see what I mean
Let the music play the tune now
It's a part of me
No more words
They don’t tell it as it should be
So don’t say say, don’t say anything
No more words
Let the feeling sink in
You’ve got to trust, trust your instincts
There’s no more words
for love, love is a dangerous game
and this love will never be the same
Want to tell you everything about me
Cannot tell you or I'll never be free
Let every picture tell a story
if you see what I mean
Let the music play the tune now
It's a part of me
There’s no more words

BURNING DOWN YOUR HOUSE (no more words)
I don't know if you believe me
I don't know whether I care
For these days all I want is to leave the world
and these days it all seems so strange
It always happens at the end of the world
So it should happen at the end of mine
Setting fire to the world a large
Get out in time
You never believe me
I can show you know nothing at all
For you, you thought that you knew me
but you, all you do is use
and it was this time in life that gave me the answer
Yes you unknowingly showed me the way
It always happens at the end of the world
So it should happen at the end of mine
Setting fire to the world a large
Get out in time
I'm gonna burn down your house
I don't know if you believe me
I don't know whether I care
for you, you thought that you knew me
but you, well all you do is use
It always happens at the end of the world
So it should happen at the end of mine
Setting fire to the world a large
Get out in time
Want to tell you everything about me
Cannot tell you or I'll never be free
Let every picture tell a story
if you see what I mean
Let the music play the tune now
It's a part of me
I'm gonna burn down your house

EVERYTHING THAT I WANT
Now I could do without your mad delusions
I could do without your hangers-on
I could do without your perverted sense of logic
and I could do without your so-called fun
and you know that I try hard to please you
I want to give you just exactly what you want
So why do I put up with being so messed around
I suppose it's 'cos I can't do without your love
How can you say that I'm cold and twisted
When you're always on my mind
You should know that I'm always there
whenever you need me
Whatever you decide
With you I've got everything that I want
I believe I could live my life without you
and I know that it would be hard to do
In the end you'll always give me what I want
because you need me
just a little bit more than I need you
So how come all the kids with opportunities
How come, they get all the lucky breaks as well
I know the measure of everything that I have
and I know that I can't do without your love
How can you say that I'm cold and twisted
When you're always on my mind
You should know that I'm always there
whenever you need me
Whatever you decide
With you I've got everything that I want

HERE I STAY
I got the feeling that this thing was over
but now I'm seeing
that this thing is just getting started now
or so they tell me, anyhow
Here I stay
more out of confusion
than a lack of desire to find another way
Here I stay
'cos I've nothing to say to you
the more that you talk about this the more I'll shy away
Well you just being here now
well it raises a doubt
About everything I thought I could do without
So here I stay
'cos I'm not the one to make that change
I say one thing
I do another
What you believe bears no relation to the other
I don't see why we can't see eye to eye
There's no reason why
Here I stay
more out of confusion
than a lack of desire to find another way
Here I stay
'cos I've nothing to say to you
the more that you talk about this the more I'll shy away
Well you just being here now
well it raises a doubt
About everything I thought I could do without
So here I stay
'cos I'm not the one to make that change

OVERFLOWING
Now I, I ain't got no time
Always running around wasting all of my time
How come I never get exactly what I want
no matter how much I'm trying
I try, try, try
When, when I see you
Don't you know what I feel will be showing
and when, when I see you
Don't you know I'll be overflowing
So long, yeah you've been so long
You just went out for a minute but now you're gone
How come you always get exactly what you want
without even trying
well I think that's wrong
When, when I see you
Don't you know what I feel will be showing
and when, when I see you
Don't you know I'll be overflowing
I'm overflowing

THE BITTER END
I never thought that this could happen
but now I've seen it with my own eyes
and if you said to me
that things could never be the same
then 'No' I would deny
but I've seen it
and I've touched it
and I felt it
and it felt good
and then you said
'I can't believe all the things that we're gonna do
do you think we should'
If I could feel this good everyday
things could be better
If we could live our live just anyway
things could be better
Got to just have some fun and treat life as a game
Now I see you I a different light
but you don't see yourself so clear
Sometimes our thoughts collide in my mind
but it makes it seem more real
for I've seen it
and I've touched it
and I felt it
and it felt good
and then you said
'I can't believe that I'm doing this with you, babe
do you think we should'
If I could feel this good everyday
things could be better
If we could live our live just anyway
things could be better
Got to just have some fun and treat life as a game
You think you can't see it through to the bitter end
I know that you can
Don't get me wrong
I don't want this thing out of your hands
I don't want anything from you
I don't want anything at all
Just want to make you see all the good things
that we can do

BETTER DAYS
Johnny stops his car outside his home
He's trying to figure where he went wrong
He'd never have thought that just a few hours ago
that he'd ever want to be alone
He's decided he ain't going home no more
He rubs his hands together to try and keep warm
Steps outside into the cold night air
and the night looks down with a thousand eyes
It's the same old story
Like a thousand times before
So you turn the page and it makes you think again
You've got to stick around for better days
There'll always be better days, yeah
Johnny thinks of all the people out there
and how most of them, well, they just don't care
They don't care for other people
or the world they live in
and that don't seem quite right to him
and he says ' Why does it have to be this way
Is there no one there, no one there to blame'
Takes one last look and gets back in his car
and the night looks down with a thousand eyes
It's the same old story
Like a thousand times before
So you turn the page and it makes you think again
You've got to stick around for better days
There'll always be better days, yeah

UNAVAILABLE
Time to kill and you've got something to say
Talking about it isn't how you get your own way
You can't go barging through these days
If the price is right you can always pay
You can always pay
Unless you pay me enough
I'm unavailable
You've got a shock in store if you're in demand today
They say they want you to work but you never get paid
Well I don't call it work, you're just a slave
Another dead pawn in this stupid game
It's a stupid game
Take your time
Then decide
Verify
Just get it Right
Take your time it's just the rest of your life
It's worth your while even if you have to fight
but you've never thought about the hows and whys
You seem to be happy getting ready to die
Well I want change
I want life
Take your time
Then decide
Verify
Just get it Right

WHEN YOU'RE ALONE
When you're alone
do you think of me
When you're at home
do you talk about me
When you're alone
do you feel that you've been there before
again and again
When you're alone
do you wake up
Don't you know
that you make it seem like I was never alive before
Don't you know
it's only a matter of time
before everything merges with the night
When you're alone
do you think of me
When you're at home
do you talk about me
When you're alone
I'm going to let you know
what I've never told no one before
When you're alone
don't break up
Don't you know
that you make it seem like I was never alive before
Don't you know
that I could find the time
if I knew what I believe to be true
Don't you know
You should never assume that I'd take the easy way out
Don't you know
it's only a matter of time
before everything merges with the night
When you're alone
do you think of me
When you're alone
do you talk about me
When you're alone
do you feel that you've been there before

ALL I WANT IS YOU
Everywhere, no matter where you are
you get in my heart forever
Tomorrow seems so far away
Everybody says it's just another day
I've got so much to do
I've got so much to say
I don't want the world
I don't want to have everything
'cos all I want is you
I don't want the world
I don't want to have everything
All I want is you
Like a sunny day in the summertime
when you're feeling fine
I want you like I've never wanted you before
Like perfect words or peace on Earth
I want you more than anything I've wanted before
Like a massive high or being able to fly
You're the only thing that I am living for
Like the perfect crime or the time of your life
I know the reason why
It happens all the time
Silent like the moon, but you still shine
So many things that I want to say
I don't know what it is that makes me feel this way
It's something inside, it something so strong
I don't want the world
I don't want to have everything
'cos all I want is you
I don't want the world
I don't want to have everything
All I want is you
If I hold you just a little longer
It's because I want to
If my love for you is just a little stronger
I want you...
Like a sunny day in the summertime
when you're feeling fine
I want you like I've never wanted you before
Like perfect words or peace on Earth
I want you more than anything I've wanted before
Like a massive high or being able to fly
You're the only thing that I am living for
Like the perfect crime or the time of your life

LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW
I got to know your face by another name
Now I know that things aren't quite the same
It doesn't make much sense but I'll play your game
but only for a while 'cos that's not my way
When I look around it's all too much
I see your face and I feel your touch
You bring it home like a crown of sorrow
I want to love you like there's no tomorrow
No tomorrow
You know it's always, always been the same
I never get the facts until it's just too late
Why can't I see all these things in advance
Like something just to take away that chance
When I look around it's all too much
I see your face and I feel your touch
You bring it home like a crown of sorrow
I want to love you like there's no tomorrow
but I don't want you
No I don't want you
'cos I don't believe
in anything that you do
oh no, I don't believe what you do
I scare myself but you scare me more
I hear my name before I'm even out the door
The creaking of the world plays tricks on me
Like I sometimes think the sky is falling down on me
When I look around it's all too much
I see your face and I feel your touch
You bring it home like a crown of sorrow
I want to love you like there's no tomorrow
but I don't want you
No I don't want you
'cos I don't believe
in anything that you do
oh no, I don't believe what you do

BELIEVE ME
I want to know how I can be the one that you want
I want to know just where it is that you're coming from
God knows, you're making it hard
but I can't understand how you can carry on
without the things that you want
Don't know what it is this time
but it's coming on strong
and it's coming around again this time
Believe me, believe me, believe me
It's the only way
Believe me, believe me, believe me
There is no other way

but it's coming on strong
and it's coming around again this time
Believe me, believe me, believe me
It's the only way
Can you hear me, can you hear me, can you hear me
There is no other way

HEROINE
Oh why did this happen to me
Tell me why, oh why can't you see
Something strange is going on
all my days are turning into nights
I don't really know where I am
Is it day or is it night
I said to come over here but you're still over there
You know I really need something
Well what it is, I don't care
'cos I need a heroine oh yeah
yes I need a heroine oh yeah
So I'm standing by the door on my own
I don't really know why
I've got a drink in my hand and it's not even mine
Time stood still or so it seemed as the room,
it started to shake
and all my world came tumbling down
and all I could do was run away
'cos I need a heroine oh yeah
yes I need a heroine oh yeah
All I need is a heroine

HEAVEN CAN WAIT
I got to know you from the things that you were saying
and I like what I hear
and I believe in everything you said
and even though that times are changing
even though that times can get hard
I know your words ring true
and I believed in everything you said
but tell me is it working
Is it better than before
I may be counting the cost
but whatever the state
Heaven can wait
I've got so much to do
So much we call our own
and I like what I see
and I believe that I can really make a start
to get things moving
to get things rolling along
Can I do any harm
for I think you couldn't do any worse
but tell me is it working
Is it better than before
I may be counting the cost
but whatever the state
Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait
I got to see you
I got to see what you were doing
I don't like what I see
and I think that only time will change
the way you run things
the way you desecrate
I'm still counting the cost
Whatever the state
Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait

LET YOUR LOVE FLY
Sometimes it can get a little strange
when there's something going on
and there is no way around this
around this
I don't know what is really going on
but I know I've got to find something I can do about this
well what about this
What do you want from me
Do you want anything at all
because I want to give you the best that I've got
so take it all
You've got to give it back baby
Return it all
and let your love fly all over me
Like it's the last time this could ever be
Let your love fly all over me
If I do things for you that you say you want
Well would you like that
would you like that
Don't put me on the spot
Don't pin me down
Don't make me choose
No, don't fool around
Don't fool around
What do you want from me
Do you want anything at all
because I want to give you the best that I've got
so take it all
You've got to give it back baby
Return it all
and let your love fly all over me
Like it's the last time this could ever be
Let your love fly all over me
Let you love fly all over me

TAKE ME TO ANOTHER PLACE
Condition of remuneration
25 years of never going against you
If it happens it happens but you know you can't fake it
Cut your odds not the losses and you might just make it
I believe that right is wrong and so is wrong
even though it seems upside down
I believe there's nothing I can do
that might even help to turn it around
I believe everything that I tell myself, well of course I do
Take me to another place
Without everything that drives you crazy
There ain't nothing in this world
that could take your place
but I just can't stay
when I'm flying in the face of everything
that you do and say
Take me to another place
Without everything that drives you crazy
There ain't nothing in this world
that could take your place
but I just can't stay to fly in the face of everything
Take me to another place
Without everything that drives you crazy
There ain't nothing in this world
that could take your place
but I just can't stay
when I'm flying in the face of everything
that you do and say

IT'S SO EASY
Is this the way it should be
or is there something wrong with me
because I feel alright
yes I feel alright
Don't give it up
Never give it up
Stay it to the end
Just keep it up
Come on keep it up
Here it comes again
It's so easy
Now is the time
I don't want to get out of this easy time
I believe that you want to see
Something going wrong with me
but I feel alright
Yes I feel alright
Don't give it up
Never give it up
Stay it to the end
Just keep it up
Come on keep it up
Here it comes again
It's so easy
Now is the time
I don't want to get out of this easy time
It's so easy yeah, yeah

DRIVE
If I've got somewhere to go
it could just be from A to B
or if I'm feeling pretty rough
and I don't want to use my feet
Got too much to carry
or the weather's not too hot
well it's all the better for me
'cos I don't feel quite so bad
when I drive
when I drive
So, would you tell me how you think I should go
When to drive and when to say no
No, you don't need to tell me
Based on what we all know I can decide
and anyway I like it when I drive
When I drive
When I drive
Do you believe that these things really come back
Do you believe that these things really do
Do you believe the effects could last for ever
I know you say you do
You believe in the future
You believe the effects of what you do
but don't pretend you're any different from anyone
no matter what you do
You like it when you drive
When I drive
If you've got somewhere to go and it's out of your hands
Don't make feeble excuses just remember your plans
You've got no alternative
You've got no choice
You can’t do anything about it
so you might as well like it
When you drive
When I drive
So, would you tell me how you think I should go
When to drive and when to say no
No, you don't need to tell me
Based on what we all know I can decide
and anyway I like it when I drive
When I drive
When I drive

I CAN'T EXPLAIN
Do you know me like I know you
Do you want me like I want you
I could say that some things are wrong
and that things are right
but why should I choose
All I know is I can't keep away from the things I love
Yes it's true
I, I can't explain
all these feelings going round in my brain
You know that time and time again
everything keeps going to the bitter end
Do you know me like I know you
Do you want me like I want you
Got to stop it
but don't knock it
It's never done you wrong
Got to change it
Oh, got to shake it yeah
It's not so easy come
I, I can't explain
all these feelings going round in my brain
You know that time and time again
everything keeps going to the bitter end
You've got me on my knees again
You've got me on my knees oh, oh, oh please
I, I can't explain
all these feelings going round in my brain
You know that time and time again
everything keeps going to the bitter end

MOONSTRUCK
Sometimes when you're not around
I think the day will never start
For how do you make me feel
as though we've never been apart
and when I ask you why
I always know you're smiling
but why do you sometimes have to keep me in the dark
and now I walk the night like the silent moon
and find compulsion in my heart
You say that we're fools of desire
and that happiness will never find it's mark
but our youth will never leave
it's just a cry for freedom, an original spark
If freedom is the game
then you'll always cry but you're never playing
If I have liberty in love then nothing stands in my way
and now I walk the night like the silent moon
and find compulsion in my heart
I was moonstruck
but I had nothing to hide
I was moonstruck
It's like a madness inside
I was taken over
ripped apart at the seams
such strong compulsion that you confide
I was moonstruck
Have I had my time
You say we no longer care
the sweetness has turned sour
but it lies within yourself
the clarity of vision a diminishing power
The conclusion we draw from this
is that all we've known is diluted down
I've searched my soul
I found what I want
and now I walk the night like the silent moon
and find compulsion in my heart
I was moonstruck
but I had nothing to hide
I was moonstruck
It's like a madness inside
I was taken over
ripped apart at the seams
such strong compulsion that you confide
I was moonstruck
Have I had my time

CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN
Golden days or so you said
What you want is clear ahead
If all the things you say are true
we should be leaving pretty soon
Heaven knows what goes on
Can't believe just anyone
Got to move on
Got to fly
Got to see the other side
I climb every mountain
Yes I climb every mountain
I don't know what it takes
to get you on the road now
to get this thing going now
I don't know what it takes
but things are looking up now
things are looking up now
Looking high and living low
If you look a little further than your nose
you might find out what's going down
and that you can't do it just on your own
'Happy valley' well that's OK
if you stay there and never go away
Satisfaction, I imagine, don't come easy
so I'll take that chance now
I climb every mountain
Yes I climb every mountain
You've got to climb every mountain
leave the valley below
You've got to climb every mountain
leave the valley below
I don't know what it takes
to get you on the road now
to get this thing going now
I don't know what it takes
but things are looking up now
things are looking up now
So take it in from all around
there's so much more that can be found
Bring it down like a thunderbolt
Burn it up and spit out
Make new tracks and forge ahead
I can't believe some of the things you've said
Contradiction ain't my game
I'm not fool enough to play that way
I climb every mountain
Yes I climb every mountain
You've got to climb every mountain
leave the valley below
You've got to climb every mountain
leave the valley below

TELL ME THE TRUTH
Have you got no sense
Have you got no pride
What reason do you give me this time
I live and learn
but you live and die
and I try
at least I try
I've nothing more to say
You're always taking away
I've nothing to say
You run around making lots of noise
Why do you have to shout when you want to be heard
I've got nothing to say
It's more effective that way
So what do you say
Ah-ah Tell me the truth
I need to know I've got so much to lose
Don't you dare take me for a fool
Ah-ah tell me the truth
and the truth may hurt but I don't care
for the hurt I've got couldn't be any worse
I've put it all on the line to get the facts out of you
It shouldn't have to be a difficult thing to do
and 'Missing' is all you say
it's not enough for me
not even half way
Come on tell me the truth

STRANGE DEVOTION
Well I really don't know what I'm going to do about this
I've got a strange devotion
to a thing that I just don't understand
Is it fantasy
A sweet memory
It's alright now
It's OK
Well it's never the same
and I'm never quite sure what to believe
Don't call it love just let it take over and set you free
So will you go now
or will you stay
It's alright now
It's OK
The best things you don't need but you really want
well they don't come free
You've got to risk losing everything
to get a piece of your dream
The best things are always good for nothing
that's alright with me
If you think about it
then you talk about it like a disease

I WANT MORE
You say I want everything
I say I want more
It seems that love just isn't enough for you
but it's all
People say things they don't understand
People talk when they don't know what to say
People do things without thinking what they're doing
Jump in without using their brains
Something's going down
Something's going on
Something's going to happen
Going to make you stop
I love it when you say you don't know what to do
because it makes me realise that you're human too
I don't want to know all the things that you think
I've heard too much of that and it all just stinks
I want everything just to turn out right
I want more than that
I want more than this
I want more
You say I want everything
I say I want more
It seems that love just isn't enough for you
but it's all
People say things they don't understand
People talk when they don't know what to say
People do things without thinking what they're doing
Jump in without using their brains
Do you want all the things you get for money
Do you want the things that money just can't buy
Do you want every high to last for ever
Do you want good things to never, never die
Something's going down
Something's going on
Something's going to happen
Going to make you stop
I love it when you say you don't know what to do
because it makes me realise that you're human too
I don't want to know all the things that you think
I've heard too much of that and it all just stinks
I want everything just to turn out right
I want more than that
I want more than this
I want more..
more...
more...

GIVE IT ALL YOU'VE GOT
'cos I know what I know
and I feel what I feel
you must know by now that this thing is real
so give it all you've got to get anything back at all
and you see what you want
and you hear what you want
and you make believe just everything
don't deceive yourself about anything anymore
Wake up in the morning
a few hours away from the night before
another yesterday
You know it drives me crazy
You know it makes me mad
'cos that's another day that we've just had
I'm not waiting for answers
for they will never come
I'm just looking for things that I can do and so get done
If you could take me
Take me far away
I could dream a hundred dreams and everything would be OK
All I ever wanted was to feel like this
Not in control but in a spin
I'm going up
Not going down
There goes my face into the crowd
Realisation of what might have been
Don't talk to me of the many things that I don't see
Why don't you take me
Take me far away
and I would dream a thousand dreams
and everything would be OK
'cos I know what I know
and I feel what I feel
you must know by now that this thing is real
so give it all you've got to get anything back at all
and you see what you want
and you hear what you want
and you make believe just everything
don't deceive yourself about anything anymore
You know what I know and you feel what I feel
You see what I see and you hear what I hear
So give it all you've got to get anything back at all
You see what I see and you hear what I hear
You know what I know and you feel what I feel
You must know by now that this thing is real

A LONG, LONG TIME AGO
I read the news today
It seemed concerned with what happened
about 50 years ago
I don't see why we can't forget the past
and make a little progress ourselves
but there's always so many people
who never want to move on
It all happened a long, long time ago
It all happened a long, long time ago
Turned on the radio
and all I heard was music from about 30 years ago
I don't see why we can't leave the past
and try to create something new ourselves
but there's always a group of people
who never want to move on
It all happened a long, long time ago
It all happened a long, long time ago
It all happened a long, long time ago
It all happened a long, long time ago
It's not easy, I know
It's not easy
I stopped to think today
and I realised I'm doing the same as about 5 years ago
So I chose now as the moment to change
I'm going to put some noise in the news
and in a thousand years or more
they'll look back and they'll laugh as they say
It all happened a long, long time ago
It all happened a long, long time ago

TIME FOR A CHANGE
Dreaming stops and I wake up all alone, it's so cold
Well I don't know what I must do
to have you for my own
You treat me like a dog, I can't understand
If only you could see yourself from where I stand
Chasing 'round after you
ain't exactly what I had in mind
I suppose I got just a little more
than you thought that I would find
But someone, sometime has got to chose
so it might as well be me
and you'll always get in my music and in my memory
So it's time for a change, it's time for a change
Time for a change, it's time for a change
Time for a change, but you're out of range
Time for a change, it's no game
I loved you for such a long time
that's what you said I said
Would you show even any emotion
if you thought that I were dead
I've often wondered how it must be to be like you
I think that I know better 'cos you haven't got a clue
So it's time for a change, it's time for a change
Time for a change, 'cos I feel strange
Time for a change, but you're out of range
Time for a change, it's no game

BANE OF THE WORLD
You brought me sorrow
You brought me pain
but this is my pleasure
I'll do what you say
I've no reason to doubt your wisdom
You've never been wrong before
Through hard times and dangerous living
you give and you take
You take my soul
Living without you
is like living alone
Fro me you take everything
but you offer the world
Your love is exclusive
Your love is insane
You're the devil inside me
Am I merely your slave
You never give something for nothing
but I'll always follow you blindly
Through hard times and dangerous living
You give and you take
You take my soul
You're the bane of the world
Love of my life
You're the bane of the world love of my life
Give me a word and show me a sign
You're the bane of the world love of my life
This isn't a game this is my life
You're the bane of the world love of my life
The world will change but you'll always remain
Your the bane of the world love of my life
I give you my all but you just take
You're the bane of the world
Love of my life

ILLUSIONS
Illusions running wild
Can't believe anything I'm seeing with my eyes
Confusion in my mind
Don't know where it's coming from but it makes me feel alright
I'm feeling like I never did before
If you've got some fun for me
then I'll come back for more
Don't rely on, no, don't believe
anyone else apart from yourself
or you'll never get relief
from confusion running wild
It's music and movement side by side
Now everyone has got one good song at least
Why do you believe that there's anymore than these..
Illusions running wild
Can't believe anything I'm seeing with my eyes
Confusion in my mind
Don't know where it's coming from
but it makes me feel alright
Illusions from confusion

READY FOR LOVE
Got no reason
No reason for doubt in your mind
Don't tell me something
for something's really driving me wild
What do you think that you're doing
and what do you say
Ah-ah everyday...
I could show you
I could show you that there's no other way
Just come together
and you'll see our problems slipping away
What do you think that you're doing
and what do you say
Ah-ah everyday...
I'm ready for love
Got a lot of love inside of me oh yeah
I'm ready for your love
Got a lot of love inside of me oh yeah
It's been so long
since I've known what it's like to lie next to you
It's been so long
So long
Every reason for thinking that life is a dream
If we pull it off then
well we've made it
we've got all that we need
What do you think that you're doing
and what do you say
Ah-ah everyday...
I'm ready for love
Got a lot of love inside of me oh yeah
I'm ready for your love
Got a lot of love inside of me oh yeah
It's been so long
since I've known what it's like to make love to you
It's been so long
So long
I'm ready for love

AMERICAN DREAM
Let's have the time of our lives now
Let's make this moment worthwhile now
How can you measure this happiness
when you've got problems just keeping up
'cos I don't want to follow and I don't want to stay
and if I wait long enough it'll just be too late
does it make you feel angry
does it make you feel good
does it make you feel anything like it should
We've got gold from the gods, the American dream
So many years, or so it seems
of a dollar here and a dollar there
you put your money just everywhere
he's got a gun, yeah the man's got a gun
don't know when he'll use it but it seems like fun
Sounds so similar
Sounds so serious
and when he takes it up it's come on down
come on to the war
See it as a game
See it as a sport
He'll sell the rights and he'll sell your soul
Sell you down the river like you're nothing at all
and in the East and West everybody looks on
Hey, is the pearl Babylonian
This man is a liar
This man wants to scare
so put your hands up in the air
Can I give you my time for free
Only if there's something there for me
but it brings derision from those who see
They say can't behave like this naturally
'cos I don't want to follow
and I don't want to stay
and if I wait long enough it'll just be too late
'cos it makes me feel angry
and it makes me feel good
and it makes me feel something like it should
We've got gold from the gods, the American dream
So many years, or so it seems
of a dollar here and a dollar there
you put your money just everywhere
he's got a gun, yeah the man's got a gun
don't know when he'll use it but it seems like fun
Sounds so similar
Sounds so serious
and when he takes it up it's come on down
come on to the war
See it as a game
See it as a sport
He'll sell the rights and he'll sell your soul
Sell you down the river like you're nothing at all
and in the East and West everybody looks on
Hey, is the pearl Babylonian
This man is a liar
This man wants to scare
so put your hands up in the air
We've got the gold from the gods now
in this American dream now
and nothing is what it seems
in this American dream
Nothing is what it seems in this American dream

KEEP ON DREAMING
Can you keep believing when everyone is doubting you
and can you keep on waiting
and not get tired of staying still
and can you dream with your feet on the ground
and can you keep inside the loss of losing everything
time after time
so keep on dreaming
Keep dreaming my child
All the world is for the taking
and keep fighting the lies
Keep on dreaming
Keep dreaming my child
All the world is for the taking
It's yours and mine
Now is it really true what they say about you
and can you keep your head in a crisis
When you sometimes lose you don't get the blues
it'll all turn out right
and can you dream with your head in the clouds
and can you keep inside the loss of losing everything
time after time
so keep on dreaming
Keep dreaming my child
All the world is for the taking
and keep fighting the lies
Keep on dreaming
Keep dreaming my child
All the world is for the taking
It's yours and mine
Keep on dreaming
Keep dreaming my child
All the world is for the taking
time after time
Keep on dreaming
Keep dreaming my child
All the world is for the taking
it's a crazy high
keep on dreaming

LET'S GET ON WITH THE DANCE
Don't know what you've been told

when you've no control over your life
so you take your chances with the night
and you see in the morning light
take your turn and take your chance now

Hey what's that sound, it seemed so loud
Got my attention, I had to put it down

I'll help you there and I'll hold you 'til you find your way
Don't know what you've been told
but this is the way it goes
Searching for another high
just to try to make you feel alive
You try everything just once or twice
does it help you kiss the sky
take your turn and take your chance now
let's get on with the dance
Is that a vision or a picture of you
Stop, look, listen hey I'm coming through
and if in time you feel you have to make that change
I'll help you there and I'll hold you 'til you find your way
Don't know what you've been told
but this is the way it goes
you've got to imagine what it's like
when you've no control over your life
you know something good is going on
when your days and nights turn into one
take your turn and take your chance now
let's get on with the dance
Don't know what you've been told
but this is the way it goes
Searching for another high
just to try to make you feel alive
Will you, won't you, will you, won't you
keep on living like there's no tomorrow
take your turn and take your chance now
let's get on with the dance

HOT DOG
Always on my mind
All the time
You never fade
Day after day
No way along this road is what she said to me
You'll have to go around instead, get over me
I knew just who she was so I took her aside
I said lighten up honey, I just need a little time
You were the best thing in my life
and I will always find the time
Don't you ever go away
this could happen any day
I don't know what time it is but I make time for you
I want a little bit
I want a little bit of everything you do
I don't know where you are but I make tracks for you
I want a little bit
I want a little bit of love to see me through the night
Always on my mind
All the time
You never fade
Day after day
Hot Dog, the one I want
Always on my mind
You've got time to kill and the temperature’s rising
next in line
You've got a special skill and you're one of the best
All the tricks of the trade
You're always in demand like you'd never believe it
Yeah you've got it made
I don't know what time it is but I make time for you
I want a little bit
I want a little bit of everything you do
I don't know where you are but I make tracks for you
I want a little bit
I want a little bit of love to see me through the night
Always on my mind
All the time
You never fade
Day after day

NEW RELIGION
I say you've got to believe
even when reason's up a-blowin' in the breeze
You know you've only got enough
enough to hate and not enough to love
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's a new religion
the peoples' drug
Will this arrogant age ever listen to its' young
Why don't you give it a try
It can make you feel like you've never been alive
Keep it out of your private life
and don't forget that passions run high
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You've got all the answers
Yeah you're full of talk
You say I've got no religion
It's done nothing for me at all
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh no what can I say
A hundred different things and they're all the same
To which one do you belong
I can't say for I can't tell the right from the wrong
Yeah, yeah yeah
You've got all the answers
Yeah you're full of talk
You say I've got no religion
It's done nothing for me at all
Yeah, yeah, yeah
New religion
The peoples' drug
Will this arrogant age ever listen to it's young
You've got all the answers
Yeah you're full of talk
You say I've got no religion
It's done nothing for me at all
Yeah, yeah, yeah

SOMETIMES
Sometimes I get so low
I couldn't manage on my own
I've got to stop feeling down
A new day, same town
I've started believing
All that I'm dreaming
You give me what I want
You give me everything
Sometimes I feel so low
I can't manage on my own
I can't stop to look around at this
New day, same town
Then they say keep your feet on the ground and stop
Stop playing, stop playing
Sort your life out and stop messing around and stop
Stop dreaming, stop dreaming
They think I'm only playing the fool and I should stop
Stop playing, stop playing
metimes they're just a bad dream come true
Sometimes you take me out of myself
Out of body, out of mind
Then they say that time is running out
Not for me, only for them
I've started believing
All that I'm dreaming
You give me what I want
You give me everything
Sometimes I get so low
I couldn't manage on my own
I've got to stop feeling down
A new day, same town
Sometimes you take me out of myself
Out of body, out of mind
Then they say that time is running out
Not for me, only for them
I've started believing
All that I'm dreaming

ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD
You've changed to what you used to hate
but I, I know that it's just a phase
You moved on
you didn't know where you would end up
But I, I know it's not as bad as all that
I'd like to spend my time with you
but what is time
It's the only thing that I've got
All the time in the world isn't time enough for you
All I wanted in this world was a little time with you
You're not the one you used to be
you're not the one I knew
All the time in the world isn't time enough for you
You may not like it but it's not your problem
so get your head down and get on
You've got all the answers to everyone's questions
That don't solve a thing
Direct the attention onto yourself is all you intend
Given the means
I don't think you'd want to get to the end
I'd like to spend my time with you
but what is time
It's the only thing that I've got
All the time in the world isn't time enough for you
All I wanted in this world was a little time with you
You're not the one you used to be
you're not the one I knew
All the time in the world isn't time enough for you

GET ON
You've got to go for it if you want to get on
You've got to know what it is if you want to get on
You've got to show what you've got if you want to get on
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I the end you give it all you've got
Then you find you went right over the top
Just sit back a minute and you will find
You don't even have to try
Ba ba, ba da ba ba ba, ba da ba Da ba, ba da ba ba
You've got to go for it if you want to get on
You've got to know what it is if you want to get on
You've got to show what you've got if you want to get on
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I the end you give it all you've got
Then you find you went right over the top
Just sit back a minute and you will find
You don't even have to try
Ba ba, ba da ba ba ba, ba da ba Da ba, ba da ba ba
Ba ba, ba da ba ba ba, ba da ba Da ba, ba da ba ba

THE PRICE OF CHANGE
I do what I want and I believe what I do
I believe in myself
what more can I do (so it's down to you)
Don't shake my faith
Don't break my heart
I'm just trying to play my part
There is no reason and there is no sense
but I don't care for what you intend
for there'll never be change and you'll lose your mind
unless you go against reason
Make use of your time
The price of change can only be life
The way ahead is killing me
The price of change, are you prepared to fight
What does it take to set you free
There's always hope to help get you there
Strength of mind and you'll never despair
If you aim to shock or even hate
al least you'll keep them up to date
but it's no big deal
It's a way of life
but if you're on the edge
don't forget the fight
Generation gap
Generation lost
Another part of the cost
The price of change can only be life
The way ahead is killing me
The price of change, are you prepared to fight
What does it take to set you free

MAINLINE
Stand alone just for a while
Go through the motions
just go for a ride
You work hard
You work out of your mind
I don't care as long as I find
My mainline
It almost makes you mine
My mainline
I almost makes you mine
Just one thing I wish I could be
Am I the only one who even believes
there's still time for our original scheme
Put it aside as long as I've got
My mainline
It almost makes you mine
My mainline
It almost makes you mine
Wanted you everyday
Didn't want anything to change
You move on and walk away
Nothing left
Nothing left to say
My mainline
It almost makes you mine

LET GO
Oh-oh what do you say
Are you living for today
for I want to know where I should go
Hold on, just wait again
Will you believe just anything
Do I say it right or do I say it wrong
but it's hard to know what gets through to you
One last chance to change your mind
Don't pick and chose I need an answer tonight
No time to lose
No time to fight
No strings and no ties
it's the only way we could ever survive
Let's give it a go
Let's give it a try
but it's hard to say from day to day
what gets through to you
and all I know is that you...
You've got to let go
If you know what pleasure is then show me now
I'll go for anything
If you know just what you want
I'll go for that
Let go of what I've got
You say you know what pleasure is
but look ahead
I think there's something missing
Come on, let go of all you've got
Make a new start
and never, never stop

PART OF YOUR DREAM
I made a place for you in my scheme of things
I hoped that like a fool it would happen quick
I think I'm glad now everyone opens up
There's no substitute for experience
I don't want to be a part of this crazy dream
I haven't got the time to work out what it means
Don't make plans to the finest detail
for you can never know what really goes on
It's just reaching tomorrow not reaching the moon
You'll never be prepared for what may happen soon
I don't want to be a part of this crazy dream
I haven't got the time to work out what it means
I don't want to be a part of this crazy dream
Tomorrow's just another day
another scheme

DON'T YOU EVER LEARN
Look at you
you think you're so special
Look at you
you think you're the life and soul of everyone's party
Look at you
You really think you've got it made
Look at you
You're taking time and money and just wasting away
I've got a life
Don't take it with you
I think you're boring
don't care what you do
Look at you
Sometimes I want to shake you apart
Look at you
Don't you realise you make yourself look foolish
Look at you
You're not going anywhere at all
Look at you
Time won't make you change I'm sorry to say
I've got a life
Don't take it with you
I think you're boring
don't care what you do
Don't you ever learn
that time is not for wasting
Don't you ever learn
your whole big scene is just so stupid I could laugh
Don't you ever learn
When will you move on from these outdated ideas
Don't you ever learn
You're just another part of this everyday society

THE WORLD OF LATE
Hey you - why do you look so down
Why put up with the rain
when you can blow away the clouds
Hey you - why do you struggle on
Just decide which way you're going
and work for what you want
Hey you - get out of this place
Throw away this morbid junk
and get a smile upon that face
Hey you - have you ever been in love
Don't say that it's not for you
'cos you can never get enough
What's in a name when you've got what it takes
It doesn't mater to me that you're on the make
Just don't go round going take, take, take
There's a lot going on that I don't like in this world of late
