Hanson - The Best Of...: Live And Electric(Cd+Dvd) [compilation] (2005) by Hanson (보컬) on maniadb.com

Flies are buzzing round my head
Vultures circling the dead
Picking up every last crumb
The big fish eat the little ones
The big fish eat the little ones
Not my problem, give me some

You can try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough

This one's optimistic
This one went to market
This one just came out of the swamp
This one dropped a payload
Fodder for the animals
Living on animal farm

If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough

I'd really like to help you, man
I'd really like to help you, man
Nervous messed up marionettes
Floating around on a prison ship

If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
If you can try the best you can
If you try the best you can
Dinosaurs roaming the Earth
Dinosaurs roaming the Earth
Dinosaurs roaming the Earth

You feel like liberation
You give me new sensation
You show me what I need and
You are my life completed

Can't stop, can't break, who's driving?
Sometimes there's no denying
'Til today I feel I can't lose
I'm letting go of what I knew

I want you for always
I hear your name in every word I say
I'm a fool and I don't care
I hear your name in every word I say
Every word I say
Every word I say

Before you I was only
What I let control me
You are a revolution
Against my own conclusions
So today I feel I can't lose
But I'm letting go of what I knew

Said, I want you for always
I hear your name in every word I say
I'm a fool and I don't care
I hear your name in every word I say
Oh no no no no no no no
Oh no no no no no no no
Oh no no no no no no no
Oh no no no no no

And now I say goodbye to the way I used to be
There is no room for question
'Cause your name, it sets me free
Yesterday's troubles harm me
T-Today's are creeping in
So let go of the world around me
'Cause your love is all I need

I want you for always
I hear your name in every word I say
I'm a fool and that's okay
I hear your name in every word I say

I want you for always
I hear your name in every word I say
I'm a fool and I don't care
I hear your name in every word I say

Every word I say
Every word I say
In every word I say
Oh no no no no no no no
Oh no no no no no
Oh no no no no no no no no no no
Yeah!

I hear your name in every word I say
I hear your name in every word I say
I hear your name in every word I say
I hear your name well all I hear is your name
All I hear is your name
All I hear is your name
And no one can take it away

Something's been going on and I don't know what it is
You don't mind the taking girl, but you don't know how to give
You drove me crazy, but I don't know, baby
You're thinking that it's me you're fooling?
Where's the right in all of our fighting?
Look at what you're doing

Chorus:
Where's the love?
It's not enough
It makes the world go 'round and 'round and
Where's the love?
Give it up
It makes the world go 'round and 'round and 'round

Can you tell me what you see whenever you look around?
We're tripping all over ourselves and pulling each other down
We're separating, consciousness is fading
You thinking that it's me you're fooling?
Where's the right in all of our fighting?
Look at, look at, look at what we're doing

(Chorus)

Dark clouds all around
Lightning, rain pouring down
We're waiting for the bright light to break through
Face down on the ground
Pick us up at the lost and found
We've got to change our point of view if we want the sky blue

We're segregating, consciences are fading
You're thinking that it's me you're fooling?
Where's the right in all of our fighting?
Look at what we're doing

(Chorus)

Where's the love?
It's not enough
It makes the world go 'round and around and around and around
Where's the love?
Just give it up
It makes the world go 'round and 'round and 'round

Where's the love? It's not enough
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Give it up, just give it up
Give it up, give it up
'Round and 'round and 'round

Where's the love? It's not enough
Not enough, not enough
'Round and around and around and around
Where's the love? Just give it up
Won't you, won't you give it up?

Look at you baby
Standing in the shadows wondering what I'm doing here
Wishing something would happen, maybe I could disappear
She walks in with that look in her eye
Somehow she doesn't even have to try
Just kick off your shoes, get on the floor
This is what we came here for
Oooooh, you've got to break it down
You've got to get it out
Just get on the floor
Everybody wonders when they look at you
Everybody wonders what you're gonna do
You got it all wrapped up you do
Everybody wonders when they look at, look at you
Look at you baby, look at you baby
In the middle of the dance floor lights shinin' in my face
Twistin', shoutin' there was no doubt people dancing all over the place
Out of the corner of my eye she said why don't you come and give it a try
Get on the floor, just kick off your shoes
You ain't got a thing to lose
Oooooh, you've got to break it down
It's time to get it out
Just get on the floor

(Repeat Chorus)

Look at you, look at you baby
Look at you, look at you baby
Look at you, look at you baby
Ooooh, Whoooooa, Whoooooa, baby
Look at you, look at you baby
Look at you, look at you baby
Look at you, look at you baby
Ooooh, Whoooooa, Whoooooa, baby
I was standing in the shadows wondering what I'm doing here
Wishin' something would happen so that I could disappear
She breaks the silence with a move of her hips
You better hang on don't want to lose your grip
Kick off your shoes, get on the floor
This is what we're waiting for
Oooooh, you've got to break it down
You've got to get it out. Just get on the floor.

I don't feel myself today
Just a figure in a big monopoly game
Struggle is the price you pay
You get just enough just to give it away
I'm sinking but I'm floating away
Throw me a line so I can anchor my pain
The fabric is about to fray
The fabric is about to fray

Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately

Things keep coming and I keep wondering
I start feeling the walls close in
Things keep coming and I keep stumbling
I start feeling I'm strong enough to break
Oh, I start feeling I'm strong enough to break

Been running through my mind today
Scenarios to add to your hypocrisy
No one ever takes the blame
But everyone is searching for a cure to the pain
Nothing ever seems to change
Oh, nothing ever seems to change
We just play like broken records in a deaf man's charade

Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately

Things keep coming and I keep wondering
I start feeling the walls close in
Things keep coming and I keep stumbling
I start feeling I'm strong enough to break
Oh, I start feeling I'm strong enough to break

Carry on just a pawn and the same old song
I'm still holding on

The fabric is about to fray

Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately

Things keep coming and I keep wondering
I start feeling the walls close in
Things keep coming and I keep stumbling
I start feeling I'm strong enough
Things keep coming and I keep wondering
I start feeling the walls close in
Things keep coming and I keep stumbling
I start feeling I'm strong enough to break
Oh, I start feeling I'm strong enough to break

When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh i will come to you

When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh i will come to you

Sometimes when all your dreams may have seen better days
When you don't know how and why, but you've lost your way
Have no fear when your tears are fallin'
I will hear your spirit callin'
And I swear that I'll be there, come what may

(Repeat Chorus)

Nanannanananannanana...
I will come to you..

'Cause even if we can't be together
We'll be friends now and forever
And I swear that I'll be there come what may...

When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you

We all need somebody we can turn to
Someone who'll always understand
So if you feel that your soul is dyin'
And you need the strength to keep tryin'
I'll reach out and take your hand

Nananananannana...
I'll reach out for your hand..

I will come to you...

(Repeat Chorus)

Oh I will come to you...

Waking up this morning thinking this can't be real
But they say there's nothing love can't heal
Why don't you come on down
so you can feel what I feel?

Sitting all alone in this place
Even though we're here face to face
There is nothing gone
but there's something wrong.

Can't you see that I'm stuck here underneath?
and you're making it hard to breathe
Take a look around and tell me what you see
You'll find me underneath

I know what to say but don't know where to begin
I fear of losing you beneath my skin
is there resolution for this pain that I'm in

Sittin' all alone in this place
Even though we're here face to face
There is nothing gone
but there's something wrong

Can't you see that I'm stuck in underneath?
and you're making it hard to breathe
Take a look around and tell me what you see
You'll find me underneath

Cuz you'll find me
Whoh-oh-whoh. (2x)

If only you could feel what I dream
Maybe you hear what I mean

There is nothing gone but there's something missing

can't you see?
That I'm stuck in underneath
and you're making it hard to breathe
Take a look around and tell me what you see
You'll find me underneath

Cuz i'm stuck in underneath
And your making it hard to breath
Take a look around and tell me what you see
You'll find me
underneath
underneath

Yeah

(say goodbye)

I know just how much I love you
But there is no time to explain
I realize just what I'd give to
Get you back in my arms

And I see you hand in hand with another man
And I don't know what you see in him and why you let us go

chorus
So if you're gonna lie
At least you could just let us die
And if you're gonna cry to me baby
At least you could just say goodbye

And I'm caught between myself and me
And I can't find the bridge
From my mind to reality
I'm trying to find a place in the sun
But I'm drowning in the rain
That's falling every place I run

And I see you hand in hand with another man
And I don't know what you see in him and why you let us go

So if you're gonna lie
At least you could just let us die
And if you're gonna cry to me baby
At least you could just say goodbye

Well I'm not gonna sit around just waiting for you to get over him
So oh, no, no, no
Say goodbye
Say goodbye now
Say goodbye
Say goodbye now
Say goodbye
Say goodbye now
Say goodbye now

Well if you're gonna lie
Well at least you could just let us die
And if you're gonna cry to me baby
At least you could just said goodbye

Say goodbye
Say goodbye now
Say goodbye

Oh yeah

Won't you say goodbye
Won't you say goodbye now
Won't you say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye now
Say goodbye
Say goodbye now
Say goodbye
Say goodbye now
Say goodbye now

Won't you kiss me goodbye
You've gotta tell me goodbye

Say goodbye
Say goodbye now
Say goodbye
Say goodbye now

In a little while
Surely you'll be mine
In a little while I'll be there

In a little while
This hurt will hurt no more
I'll be home, love

When the night takes a deep breath
And the daylight has no end
If I crawl, if I come crawling home
Will you be there?

Slow down my beating heart
Slow down my beating heart

In a little while
I will blow by every breeze
Friday night running
To Sunday on my knees

That girl, that girl, she's mine
And I've know her since
Since you were a little girl
With Spanish eyes
Oh, when I saw her
In a pram they pushed her by

Slow down my bleeding heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my bleeding heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love

Man dreams one day to fly
A man takes a rocketship into the sky
He lives on starlets dying in the night
And follows in the trail the scatter of light

Slow down my bleeding heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my bleeding heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love

Cigars in the summertime
Under the sky by the light I can feel her read my mind
I can see it in her eyes
Under the moon as it plays like music every line
There's a rug with a bleeding dye
Under the fan in the room where the passion's burning high
By the chair with the leopard skin under the light
It's always Penny and me tonight

On the plane step with both my feet
Riding in seat number three on a flight to NYC
Got my bean in a coffee cup next to my seat
Catch the view and another good book to read
Sitting at home over the friendly skies missing her eyes
It's always Penny and me tonight

'Cause Penny and Me like to roll the windows down
Turn the radio up push the pedal to the ground,
And Penny and Me like to gaze at starry skies
Close our eyes pretend to fly
It's always Penny and me tonight

Staring at a million city lights
But still Penny and I are all alone beneath the sky
Feel the wind brushing slowly by
If I could soar I would try, to take these wings and fly
Away to where the leaves turn red
But no matter where I am instead
Singing along to feeling alright
Or making it by pink moonlight
It's always Penny and me tonight

'Cause Penny and Me like to roll the windows down
Turn the radio up push the pedal to the ground,
And Penny and Me like to gaze at starry skies
Close our eyes pretend to fly
It's always Penny and me tonight

Penny likes to get away
And drown her pain in lemonade
Penny dreams of rainy days
And nights up late by the fireplace
And aimless conversations about the better days

Singing along to feeling alright
Making it by under pink moonlight
It's always Penny and me tonight

'Cause Penny and Me like to roll the windows down
Turn the radio up push the pedal to the ground,
And Penny and Me like to gaze at starry skies
Close our eyes pretend to fly
It's always Penny and me tonight

Penny and me tonight
Penny and me tonight
Penny and me tonight

You have so many relationships in this life,
But only one or two will last.
You go through all the pain and strife,
Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast.
Oh yeah. They're gone so fast, yeah.

Oh, so hold on to the ones who really care,
In the end they'll be the only ones there.
When you get old and start losing your hair,
Can you tell me who will still care?
Can you tell me who will still care? Oh care.

Chorus:

Mmm bop, ba duba dop ba do bop,
Ba duba dop ba do bop,
Ba duba dop ba do. Oh yeah,
Mmm bop ba duba dop ba do bop,
Ba duba dop ba do bop,
Ba duba dop ba do

I said oh yeah, in an mmm bop they're gone.
Yeah.
Plant a seed, plant a flower,
Plant a rose, you can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows.
It's a secret no one knows.
It's a secret no one knows.
Oh, no one knows.

(Chorus)

In an mmm bop, they're gone
In an mmm bop, they're not there.
In an mmm bop, they're gone
In an mmm bop, they're not there
Until you lose your hair.
But you don't care, OK then.

(Chorus)

Can you tell me?
No you can't, but you don't know.
Can you tell me? (Oh yeah)
You say you can but you don't know.
Can you tell me? (Which flower's going to grow?)
No you can't, but you don't know.
Can you tell me? (Is it going to be a daisy or a rose?)
Say you can but you don't know.
Say you can but you don't know.
You don't know how, you don't know how.

(Chorus 2x)

It's getting colder in this ditch where I lie
I'm feeling older and I'm wondering why
I heard they told her it was tell and live or die
I didn't know her but I know why she lied
I didn't know her but I know why she died
Yeah

chorus
You can't say I didn't give it
I won't wait another minute
We're on our way this time around
Whoa yeah
You can't say I didn't give it
I won't wait another minute
We're on our way this time around
Yeah
And we won't go down
Yeah

I heard them say that dreams should stay in your head
Well I feel ashamed of the things that I've said
Put on these chains and you can live a free life
Well I'd rather bleed just to know why I died

Yeah

You can't say I didn't give it
I won't wait another minute
We're on our way this time around
Whoa yeah
You can't say I didn't give it
I won't wait another minute
We're on our way this time around

And we won't go down
And we won't go down
And we won't go down
Yeah
And we won't go down
Yeah

Well all I know is that fear has got to go
This time around
This time around

I've started feeling like I don't want to fight
Give in to the given and put out the light
Cannons ablazing shower these moonlit skies
Then I remember and I know why he died
Do you know why I'd die
Yeah

(chorus 2x)

And we won't go down
And we won't go down
And we won't go down
Yeah

Watch me, Watch me, Watch me bleed rock n roll razorblade
Watch me bleed rock n roll razorblade, razorblade

Rock n roll razorblade
It cuts so deep they failed to say
This rock n roll razorblade

Cause there's nothing left in this town
For a rockerball rolling down

Rockerball had to find
A way to ease his rocker mind
This Rockerball he couldn't stay

Cause there's nothing left in this town
For a rockerball rolling down
Well this rockerball is rolling down

You can watch me bleed rock n roll razorblade
Won't you watch me bleed rock n roll razorblade

Rockerball slipped away
On a bus to LA
He found a band
He had to play

They said take a breath, look around
Well there's nothing left in this town
For a rockerball's brand new sound

Watch me…
Won't you watch me bleed rock n roll razorblade
Watch me bleed rock n roll razor, hey razorblade!
Watch me bleed rock n roll razor
Watch me rock n roll razorblade
Watch me bleed rock n roll razorblade
Watch me bleed rock n roll razor, rock n roll razor
Watch me bleed rock n roll razorblade

'Cause I need you
'Cause I need you

Every single time I see you I start to feel this way
It makes me wonder if I'm ever gonna feel this way again
There's a picture that's hanging at the back of my head
I see it over and over

I want to hold you and love you in my arms and then
I want to lead you 'cause I need to be with you 'til the end
Then I hear myself reply you've got to hold it in
This time tonight

chorus
If only I had the guts to feel this way
if only you'd look at me and want to stay
if only I'd take you in my arms and say
I won't go 'cause I need you
'Cause I need you

I sit here waiting wondering hoping that I'll make this right
'Cause all I think about is your hands
Your face and all these lonely nights
There's a feeling screaming in the back of my head
Saying over and over

I want to hold you love you in my arms and then
I want to need you 'cause I need to be with you 'til the end
Then I hear myself reply she'll never let you in
This time, tonight

If only I had the guts to feel this way
And if only you'd look at me and want to stay
And if only I'd take you in my arms and say
I won't go 'cause I need you
Please don't go 'cause I need you now

I want to hear you say
It'll always be this way
We'll be hand in hand for every night and every day
I want to scream and shout
'Cause I'm losing any doubt
And all I care about is you and me and us and now

Oh yeah

Yeah

If only I had the guts to feel this way
And if only you'd look at me and want to stay
And if only I'd take you in my arms and say
I won't go 'cause I need you
Please don't go 'cause I need you now
Yeah
'Cause I need you
(if only...)
'Cause I need you now
(if only...)
'Cause I need you
I need you
(if only...)
'Cause I need you
(if only...)
'Cause I need you
(if only...)
(if only...)
'Cause I need you now
Yeah

Liquid, melancholy dreams
Tell me what it means
'Cause you drive me crazy
Driftwood, won't you float me down your stream
Tell me what it means

'Cause you drive me crazy
'Cause you're crazy beautiful
'Cause you're crazy beautiful
'Cause you're crazy beautiful

Don't go looking in my eyes tonight
Don't go telling me lies tonight
Don't go promising the skies tonight
When you're crazy
'Cause you're crazy beautiful
'Cause you're crazy beautiful

Listen, all I need is you
Won't you tell me what to do
'Cause you drive me crazy
Baby, is it pulling on you heart
Is it tearing you apart

'Cause you drive me crazy
'Cause you're crazy beautiful
'Cause you're crazy beautiful

Don't go looking in my eyes tonight
Don't go telling me lies tonight
Don't go promising the skies tonight
When you're crazy

If you don't want me tell me no
If you don't need me I think I'll go
Oooh, Oooh, Ooooooh

'Cause you're crazy beautiful

Don't go looking in my eyes tonight
Don't go telling me lies tonight
Don't go promising the skies tonight
When you're crazy
'Cause you're crazy beautiful
'Cause you're crazy beautiful
'Cause you're crazy beautiful

So what am I supposed to do?
Here I am, I'm losing you
And this is more than I can take
And as you walk away, baby all that I can say
Is I'm sorry for being me

I won't have to look into your eyes anymore
It's alright, they don't look at me the same
With all that I've lost I give everything and more
If you want my love, speak

So what am I supposed to do
Here I am, I'm losing you
And this is more than I can take
And as you walk away, baby all that I can say
Is I'm sorry for being me
Yes I'm sorry for being me

Waking up this morning thinking this can't be real

I ran into your best friend today
Twelve nights since you ran away
I asked about you and she said can′t say, can′t say
I′m feeling lonly and it seems to stay
It′s been a while since I′ve felt that way
Well, I can tell you there′s no room to play this game

All I know is what I′m missing
What I′m missing is your kissing
Are you listening?

Don′t go, don′t go telling me you′re alright
There′s no room for getting uptight
Don′t go saying that you′re OK
When you′re lonely
I said baby, don′t go telling me we′re over
When you know you′re my one and only lover
And I won′t go saying that we′re OK
When we′re lost without each other
′Cause we′re lost without each other
′Cause we′re lost without each other

I didn′t mean to start the last big fight
You never should have hung up that night
All I want to do is make things right, make it right
Listen, with all the choices that we chose to make
And all the promises we chose to break
We were busy making big mistakes, yesterday

All I know is what I′m missing
What I′m missing is your kissing
Are you listening?

Don′t go, don′t go telling me you′re alright
There′s no room for getting uptight
Don′t go saying that you′re OK
When you′re lonely
I said baby, don′t go telling me we′re over
When you know you′re my one and only lover
And I won′t go saying that we′re OK
When we′re lost without

I can tell you one thing
We′re not better on our own
I′m tired of running, from my feelings
Are you listening?
Are you listening?

All I know is what I′m missing
What I′m missing is your kissing
Are you listening?

Don′t go, don′t go telling me you′re alright
There′s no room for getting uptight
Don′t go saying that you′re OK
When you′re lonely
I said baby, don′t go telling me we′re over
When you know you′re my one and only lover
And I won′t go saying that we′re OK
When we′re lost without each other
′Cause we′re lost without each other(X6)

Cigars in the summertime
Under the sky by the light I can feel her read my mind
I can see it in her eyes
Under the moon as it plays like music every line
There's a rug with a bleeding dye
Under the fan in the room where the passion's burning high
By the chair with the leopard skin under the light
It's always Penny and me tonight

On the plane step with both my feet
Riding in seat number three on a flight to NYC
Got my bean in a coffee cup next to my seat
Catch the view and another good book to read
Sitting at home over the friendly skies missing her eyes
It's always Penny and me tonight

'Cause Penny and Me like to roll the windows down
Turn the radio up push the pedal to the ground,
And Penny and Me like to gaze at starry skies
Close our eyes pretend to fly
It's always Penny and me tonight

Staring at a million city lights
But still Penny and I are all alone beneath the sky
Feel the wind brushing slowly by
If I could soar I would try, to take these wings and fly
Away to where the leaves turn red
But no matter where I am instead
Singing along to feeling alright
Or making it by pink moonlight
It's always Penny and me tonight

'Cause Penny and Me like to roll the windows down
Turn the radio up push the pedal to the ground,
And Penny and Me like to gaze at starry skies
Close our eyes pretend to fly
It's always Penny and me tonight

Penny likes to get away
And drown her pain in lemonade
Penny dreams of rainy days
And nights up late by the fireplace
And aimless conversations about the better days

Singing along to feeling alright
Making it by under pink moonlight
It's always Penny and me tonight

'Cause Penny and Me like to roll the windows down
Turn the radio up push the pedal to the ground,
And Penny and Me like to gaze at starry skies
Close our eyes pretend to fly
It's always Penny and me tonight

Penny and me tonight
Penny and me tonight
Penny and me tonight

I don't feel myself today
Just a figure in a big monopoly game
Struggle is the price you pay
You get just enough just to give it away
I'm sinking but I'm floating away
Throw me a line so I can anchor my pain
The fabric is about to fray
The fabric is about to fray

Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately

Things keep coming and I keep wondering
I start feeling the walls close in
Things keep coming and I keep stumbling
I start feeling I'm strong enough to break
Oh, I start feeling I'm strong enough to break

Been running through my mind today
Scenarios to add to your hypocrisy
No one ever takes the blame
But everyone is searching for a cure to the pain
Nothing ever seems to change
Oh, nothing ever seems to change
We just play like broken records in a deaf man's charade

Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately

Things keep coming and I keep wondering
I start feeling the walls close in
Things keep coming and I keep stumbling
I start feeling I'm strong enough to break
Oh, I start feeling I'm strong enough to break

Carry on just a pawn and the same old song
I'm still holding on

The fabric is about to fray

Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately

Things keep coming and I keep wondering
I start feeling the walls close in
Things keep coming and I keep stumbling
I start feeling I'm strong enough
Things keep coming and I keep wondering
I start feeling the walls close in
Things keep coming and I keep stumbling
I start feeling I'm strong enough to break
Oh, I start feeling I'm strong enough to break
