Believe me when I say to you That every word is true That a change is going to come You can hear it in the broadcast on your radio
Why are you running, was it something that somebody said? What are you hiding from, are the voices alone in your head? I can make it look natural 'cos the more that you see It's the less that you know, it's the more that you give
Believe me when they call for you As you cry out in the night These four suspicious riders have been circling the borders of your bungalow But how they ever got to you I swear I'll never know Was it just the laws of nature that's been causing all the voices on your telephone?
Why are you running...
Believe me and I'll pray for you (we'll give you what you wanted) With all my fickle heart I could sell you hallelujahs recorded on a chrome cassette in stereo So come and make your home with me It really isn't far Fly down to California and become a Christian soldier on My late, late show
Too many times have I told you, feel your way If it's question of answers, then have your say Don't go giving me reasons, we all have a price And in that moment of indecision, you'll never understand why
It shouldn't take too long, to set the thing moving It shouldn't take too long, so long as you believe it It shouldn't take too long, (to get what you want)
Forget the popular notion, lead the way You've never known what you wanted until today Through fire and water, you, you can survive To make the best of the situation, you have to understand why
It shouldn't take too long...
When I was a boy in the summer rain Every hour seemed days to me
Don't let love let you down It's been fine up to now Sahara, I just walked into your world Sahara, don't walk out on me now
Don't let time tie you down It's been fine up to now Sahara, there is life in the desert Sahara, let the sands run away
But in my heart and in my head I know that she'll wait for me Sahara brings me down She will take up all your time Then she'll laugh and cut you down Do you still hold a light for ... for me?
Don't let fires burn too low Wild-eyed winds they still blow Sahara, I just walked into your world Sahara, don't walk out on me now
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight
I keep looking for something I can't get Broken hearts lie all around me And I don't see an easy way to get out of this Her diary it sits on the bedside table The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been some kind of kiss I should've walked away I should've walked away
Is there any just cause for feeling like this? On the surface I'm a name on a list I try to be discreet, but then blow it again I've lost and found, it's my final mistake She's loving by proxy, no give and all take 'cos I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times
Oh I, I just died in your arms...
It was a long hot night She made it easy, she made it feel right But now it's over the moment has gone I followed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong
Midnight, feels like it's shining on me Moonlight, taxis roll in from the sea Shots in the dark, slaves to the big city beat
Heroes, toasted and sent to the wall Zeroes, bleed you and laugh in your face My kind of town is anywhere else but this place But who can walk on the water?
I can help this fear of falling I can help this fear of letting go I can help this fear of falling I can help this fear of letting go
Hold on, check out and check out the fools Don't you, forget the, the golden rule Don't let them win Start making plans of your own 'Cos you can get what you wanted!
Catch my breath, close my eyes Don't believe a word Things she said, overheard Something wrong inside Once you won't admit it, then you know you're in it
I've been in love before I've been in love before The hardest part is when you're in it I've been in love before I've been in love before
Just one touch, just one look A dangerous dance One small word can make me feel Like running away You can't say you're in it, no, until you reach the limit
I have learnt through all my past mistakes Not to let the hurdles sap my energy Time will tell and time is all it takes You won't see the bastards knock the running out of me
And the band, they played one more song One for the mocking bird, they played one more song All the tears, they fell one by one All for the mocking-bird, they fell one by one
Don't be fooled by those who feed you words They just twist and tighten up the tourniquet But the sweetest song of all the mocking-birds Couldn't hope to match one note of any song we played
And the band, they played one more song One for the mocking bird, they played one more song All the dreams, they broke one by one All for the mocking-bird, they broke one by one
What are you hiding from? Why do you lock the door? Open up the door!
And the band, they played...
I have learnt, time will tell, years will pass, tears will fall, Don't be fooled, fed by words, their sweet songs, Mocking-birds!
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight
I keep looking for something I can't get Broken hearts lie all around me And I don't see an easy way to get out of this Her diary it sits on the bedside table The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been some kind of kiss I should've walked away I should've walked away
Is there any just cause for feeling like this? On the surface I'm a name on a list I try to be discreet, but then blow it again I've lost and found, it's my final mistake She's loving by proxy, no give and all take 'cos I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times
Oh I, I just died in your arms...
It was a long hot night She made it easy, she made it feel right But now it's over the moment has gone I followed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong
like a blind man takes pictures we pretended we could see but it took all of our money and it took you and me
there's a space in between us but it's not inside my head you can feel it all around you welcome to the wedge
'cos it's black and it's white but invisible so don't sign your name it'll take all your trust if you let it but never the blame
feel the wedge you can look in its face but you can't see its eyes
from a dark and vicious circle we were trying to break out so sick and tired of second guessing dancing to the steps of doubt the changes were blowing do you remember the hurricane? but when big john took his final swin we knew that nothing stayed the same
with a whambamagram it started the saddest of days don't dare to ask was it worth it i'm too broke to say
feel the wedge... i could take all the bullshit but never the lies
over turns to under truth becomes a maybe six and five will still be ten i'ts black and white and it's not here tonight it could be my friend
feel the wedge i have looked in its face but you can't see it's eyes
i won't wait for you, i won't wait for you in the morning 'cause the last thing that i want is to see you cry
and i won't ask of you, and i won't ask of you no secrets 'cause i don't want to be the one to see you cry
help me mama, help me mama through these things i feel help me father, help me father through these things i feel so i can believe...
so i won't shelter you, i won't shelter you in the morning 'cause the last thing that i want is to see you cry
help me mama, help me mama through these things i feel help me father, help me father through these things i feel so i can believe...
so i won't give to you, i won't give to you forgiveness 'cause the last thing that i want is to see you cry no the last thing that i want is to see you cry no the last thing that i want is to see you cry

sing a song of sixpence a packet full of lies don't dare to love your children just let the baby cry but when the pie was opened they'd forgotten how to sing there was larry, moe and curly joe and martin luther king....
(don't talk about it)
like handcuffs for houdini this whole thing is a con you know what's gonna happen but you don't know how it's done somebody he once told me that the key was in his mouth like handcuffs and houdini it looks so simple but you just can't work it out
if you should walk away take this broken heart and if you walk away you'll never know what's left behind go on and get away don't you leave a trace and as you walk away you can take most every...
everything but my pride everything but the rings on my finger everything but my pride
i like the room this way i like this bed unmade we never laughed enough but you laugh alone today so don't you ever say you feel that you've had all you can take you've already taken...
everything but my pride everything but the rings on my finger everything but my pride everything but the rings on my finger
i never thought it'd come to this (keep walkin') never known a night like this (keep walkin') never thought you'd walk away (keep walkin') but you did when we'd almost made it
everything (but my pride) everything (but the rings on my finger) everything but my pride you can take everything but you'll leave me leave me with my pride everything, everything but my pride everything but the rings on my finger
