Alisha'S Attic

(Thought the heart was worth something,
I just sold mine to somebody for nothing
Thought the heart was worth something,
but...)
(whispered throughout)

Love was a game, and he won too fast
Yeah, love was a painkiller that never lasts
And I hate to say that I won't care for it no more
Yeah, it was real to start, but a pretender got my heart

*Oooo...
(I caught you out)
(Pretender)
(I found you out)

Love can be strange, when you're open and naive
Love got a hold, got a gun, and then shot me
And I hate to say that I won't care for it no more
Yeah, it was real to start, but a pretender got my heart

* Repeat

And now all I have is what you forgot
(oooo) And it's all because of you babe
And all that my heart needs now
Is a resting place if it's not too late, oh

* Repeat

I thought the heart was worth something
I just sold mine to someone for nothing

(poole/martin/poole)

Here we are again
The jangle of my ankle chain
Is the only sound i can hear
When i'm here with you
(chorus)
Words collide into a single breath
You're on my mind
Every day and every night

Irresistable u are
Oh you are
Hey mista
You got the lines
For an interactive future
Right on!
Your strong feet were sent to carry me
How about you marry me?
(repeat chorus)
Yeah u are

Intense
Put your socks on and pull 'em up
We got a long ride, and a velvet chair to sit on
E-mail junkies press your buttons now
The rocket fuel will last us till we push the boat out
And everybody wants to know
Is what we're given what we get
I guess the answer is we don't know yet

Intense
(I know you're feelin' it
but what's it comin' to when we wanna
get a rocket ship outta here?)

Intense
(I know you're feelin' it
but what's it comin' to when we wanna
get a rocket ship outta here?)

I just got to tell you
Yell it to ya girls and boys
We're gettin' hotter
You feel it too?
Gotcha!

Intense
Put your smile on and keep it sweet
You got your ammunition on your back but you can't use it
Are you a good soul or a bad egg?
And is our future wounded by philosophies our daddy had?
And everybody wants to see
What the mirror cannot see
Or is it something that we just can't see yet?

Intense
I know you're feelin' it
But what's it comin' to when we wanna
Get a rocket ship outta here?

Intense
I know you're feelin' it
But what's it comin' to when we wanna
Get a rocket ship outta here?

I just got to tell you
Yell it to ya girls and boys
We're gettin' hotter
Gotcha!

Intense
Days go by and by
Like your blood is running through you
Sometimes we sit and watch the world cry
Sunny starts the day
And rain it ends
But still they pass us by
Like stress has got its hold on you
You never sit back,
Realise you're so

Intense
(I know you're feelin' it
but what's it comin' to when we wanna
get a rocket ship outta here?)

Intense
(I know you're feelin' it
but what's it comin' to when we wanna
get a rocket ship outta here?)

I just got to tell you
Yell it to ya
We're gettin' hotter
Gotcha!

Intense
(I know you're feelin' it
(but what's it comin' to when we wanna
get a rocket ship outta here?)

He said “angel,
Put that purple skirt on
You know it makes me hot”
He said “come on, come on
Get on, get up, look like
You're enjoying my company”

Oh and he said
“you can't change the world
You're another one of my fools
You were born to have my baby now
Don't cry my precious one
Coz i ain't got no sympathy for you”

And i am, i feel
Like, i wanna bite his head off
Yeah, that'd be fun
Coz i sure got an appetite
I click my heels together three times
They sparked a little but nothin' happened
And the big bad wolf's still in my bed

*I am, i feel
I sometimes think that you forget that
I am, i feel
I got to get away from here
I am, i feel
This girl's a person, y'know
I am, i feel

Oh, he said, “angel,

Your halo ain't fitted that good for a little while now
You ain't got that certain glow
That i get a kick out of”
(like it bothered me!)

I'm takin' it on the chin with a grin
But my feet are itchin' and itchin'
He says “don't cry my precious one
Coz i ain't got no sympathy for you”

And i am, i feel
Like, i wanna smash his face in
Yeah, that'd be fun
Coz i sure got a fist for a fight
I click my heels together three times
They sparked a little but nothin' happened
And the big bad wolf's still in my bed

*repeat

Well, it's hard to get through
When you're knocking on wood
And i got to thinking i was worth more than he
Put on my boots
I got a soul if you get down to the roots

Oh oh oh oh oh yeah, oh oh oh oh oh yeah

*repeat

She's an angel but she sins sometimes
Dressed in white
Gets drunk on red wine
Everyone loves her
But a child plays for pleasure
And she'll play with your heart
Until she breaks down your defences
One by one

So line up your soldiers
And she'll shoot them all down
Coz alisha rules the world
You think you've found a dream
And it shatters and it seems
That alisha rules the world

For her love of power
She's as fragile as a flower

But you better line up your soldiers
And she'll shoot them all down
Coz alisha rules the world

Alisha always walks
Where angels fear to fly
Perfection, baby
You know you're qualified
Everyone loves her but a child plays for pleasure

And she'll play with your heart
Until she breaks down your defences
One by one

So you better line up your soldiers
And she'll shoot them all down
Coz alisha rules the world
You think you've found a dream
And it shatters and it seems
That alisha rules the world

For her love of power
She's as fragile as a flower

But you better line up your soldiers
And she'll shoot them all down
Coz alisha rules the world

And when it all comes down you realise
It's just her playful heart inside your mind

So line up your soldiers
And she'll shoot them all down
Coz alisha rules the world
(repeat chorus to fade)

(chorus)
You are entering the white room
That's the password
And you can leave your hang-ups
At the door now
Coz this is the white room
My asylum
And you are welcome

Look at all you pretty people
Walking past my eyes
The room is getting smaller
There's a bright light deep inside
My toes are curling upwards
And my shoes have left my feet
They took away my velvet chair
My name is obsolete

But hell, we can get dreamy
Yeah
Delicious, we can be happy
Yeah
So happy i've been thinking about you
Yeah
And if you wanna come in
You got to knock three times

(repeat chorus)
Good heavens!
I don't know how you got here
Did you sneak inside my head?
Did you say a few sweet words

And sneak inside my bed?

Look at this, a huge big pillow
Come and lay your mind
And walk inside my crooked thought
And see what fun you'll find

Oh hell, we can get dreamy
Yeah
Delicious, we can be happy
Yeah
So happy, i've been thinking about you
Yeah
And if you wanna come in
You got to knock three times

(repeat chorus)
Positively spiritual
Definitely sexual
Could it be i'm cynical?
Or could it be i∼well i
Like i said

Override, satisfied
Our love hits on the red
‘til you show me that secret weapon
That shoots my fears all dead

This is the white room
My asylum
And you are welcome!
(repeat chorus to fade)

Return

Lost in an adventure i be
Are you the man that i love
Or a man with a gun sitting next to me?

The big bad world had me acting crazy
So i called the lifeboat man
All you need are your fears
And a few thousand tears
(it's a rescue plan)

I sneezed another brave idea
I wanna come look for you
And it'll be wonderful if i ever get there

(chorus)
But if i fall
Would there be another stone in my shoe?
And if i fly, lift your eyes
As my paper boat sails away
Could it be too late?
Or is our fate just another

Stone in my shoe

Tell me∼
Is that bomb your friend?
Do you live in a three-cornered house
Hoping that all the pain will end
∼do you?

One day you're irresistable
Then you tell me that there is no lifeboat man
Tell me that i'd better be off now
Babe you need the rescue plan

I sneezed another bright idea
I wanna come look for you
And it'll be wonderful if i ever get there
(repeat chorus)

I see you peeping through the clouds
Your smile is beckoning me
“so far to go”
Voices say loud∼
(repeat chorus to fade)

Thank you for dialling the Hot Personality lines
If you press 1
I’ll tell you you’re everything I want tonight
If you press 2
I’ll get on my high horse and give you a fight
If you press 3
I’ll stand at the back and observe from the right
You pressed 4, ok!
That’s the coolest and what would you know
Angel, I’ll take you so high, get it?
Mmm, here we go!
Feel the blistering speeds
‘Til the clouds try and cling to your toe!
That’s your 39p up
I'm afraid you must put down the…

Don't look no more,
Coz it'll only make your eyes sore
Hey! Count your R.E.M's,
It's comforting the sanctuary there we have
(ooo oo, we argue sometimes and we fear we put the knife in too deep
but even when madness heads, it's only gladness I keep inside inside)
So give me a sign
Coz we are Indestructible
Yes we are
And you are my life-line
And we are Indestructible
Yes we are, mmm

Do do, do do, do do, do do, do do, do do

Hey, hey, you can be wicked
And you know I can be fickle sometimes too, y'know
Maybe you're my better side
(better side)
Or maybe you annoy me to the point of where I'm holding this
(gun against your head, but I never said we have the same free spirit,
tell me will you cry? Don't cry)
So give me a sign

Coz we are Indestructible
Yeah we are
And you are my life-line
And we are Indestructible
Yes we are, mmm

Do do, do do, do do, do do, do do, do do, do do

You take me as I am, mister
I've a little red devil on my shoe
You always stay real strong
You can take the rough with the smooth
And I know that we forget what we mean to say
Too proud sometimes
Guess we're only human

Coz we are Indestructible
Yeah we are
And you are my life-line
We are Indestructible
Yes we are
So give me a sign

After six months of living with him, she thinks
I gotta get myself an interest
Trying to get over what's gone before
But no-one told her you never get over
You just learn to live with it
She got no bow and arrow, army pants and pigtails
She ain't got to be no-one's dolly and at nobody's whim
She got her shoes, her blues
Her big red heart
She walks to the door and she says

(chorus)
“i'm going now, goodbye babe
I won't miss you
It was a long road, but it's a fine time
To get myself a little respect
(na na na na na na)

I'm going now, goodbye babe, i won't miss you”

He always thought that if she lost the plot
She couldn't get back up and find herself a new way
Ha! oh, what a hypocrite he turned out to be
And now he's watching 24-hour shopping tv
'coz she refused to lose, to bruise
Boo hoo, you fool, you misconstrued her
She walks to the door and she knows she'll never look back
Never look back, she says

(repeat chorus)
She didn't crumble and now he's feeling kinda sore
He was a fool to think he was her backbone

(repeat chorus to fade)

Well someone told me
If you live in a glass house
You might die in a big earthquake
And end up with a stone in your mouth

I felt like kicking out when
My boyfriend made me cry
But the loveliest fairy in the world
And her name is Do As You Would Be Done By

It’s the Golden Rule!

Kittenish behaviour or is it that
She don’t care at all
Hit ‘em like a Tank Girl
It’s their attitudes against the wall

Crush ‘em with a crack sound
And then hang them out to dry
And sprinkle a little good strong
Fairy dust right into their eyes

It’s the Golden Rule
Or so I read in some poem somewhere!

Ooh, it’s just as much as I can bear
You’re all around me
You are in the air
It makes me tremble
At the thought of getting close to you

So save me from these thoughts that cross my mind
Coz Heaven knows I’m a lady
But I guess I’m inclined
To feel this way when I think of you
And you know I’m gonna do it

Just the way U like it
Just the way U like it
It’s cool to touch
Coz I want you so much
And I’m doin’ it
Just the way U like it

We’ll sit at home and comparing minds
I’ll read you poetry
The rarest you’ll find
These crazy thoughts seem to rhyme
When I’m here with you

The candle

The galaxy is open
So paint me on your right hand
And let's fly off superman-style
It'll be so good
I'll never look back

With every bit of breath i take
My thoughts say i want you
And there's nothing i can do
To control these natural instincts
If you're ready we can take it
To the heights

(chorus)
And the air we breathe will take us
The air we breathe
And no the loneliness won't break us
Coz all we need is the air we breathe
The air we breathe

Apollo's turned and twisted

(oh my god!)
As you take me in your arms tonight
O, it feels so quiet in turbulent times

So i think i'll build a stairway
And like a roman in your heart
I will climb and we can start
To journey on past all these satin sheets
And lift it past all of our control
(repeat chorus)

Look up to the sky and ask yourself why
Coz this enchanted evening wouldn't get you any higher
Will the colours fade on all the crimson hearts we made?
And broken them before so it's time to take a flight
(repeat chorus to fade)

Adore U
I do, I do, I do
And everything I am
I would give to you
My love, my love, my love

And everything I pretend to be
I will own up to
I will crown you
And drown in this your

Blue glistening waterfall
(Nothing quite like it)
The wind on my paper boat sail you are
And the trigger on my gun

Adore U
I said I do, I do, I do
And everything I am
I would give to you
My love, my love, my love

Don’t ever walk away
Don’t ever walk away
I said don’t ever walk away

Ooh you take me high
So high that I cannot come down
I feel like I can fly
I have my wings
And I have no secrets

And even if I am pretending
(Which I have a tendency to)
I’ll admit it to you
And drown in this your

Blue glistening waterfall
(Nothing quite like it)
The wind on my paper boat sail you are
And the trigger on my gun

Adore U
I said I do, I do, I do
And everything I am
I would give to you
Don’t ever walk away
(Ad lib ‘til fade)
