This girl I know Needs some shelter But she don't believe anyone can help her She's doin' so much harm Doin' so much damage But you don't wanna get involved You tell her she can manage
And you can't change the way she feels But you could put your arms around her
I know you wanna live yourself But could you forgive yourself If you left her just the way you found her
I'll stand in front of you I'll take the force of the blow Protection I'll stand in front of you I'll take the force of the blow Protection You're a boy and I'm a girl But you know you can lean on me And I don't have no fear I'll take on any man here Who says that's not the way it should be I'll stand in front of you I'll take the force of the blow Protection I'll stand in front of you I'll take the force of the blow Protection She's a girl and you're a boy But sometimes you look so small You look so small

Sometimes you look so small You need some shelter You're just running round and round Helter Skelter And I've leaned on you for years Now you can lean on me That's more than love That's the way it should be Now I can't change the way you feel But I could put my arms around you That's just part of the deal That's the way I feel I'll put my arms around you I'll stand in front of you I'll take the force of the blow Protection I'll stand in front of you I'll take the force of the blow Protection You're a boy and I'm a girl You're a boy and I'm a girl hey You're a boy and I'm a girl You're a boy and I'm a girl yeah
Everyday brings change,and the world puts on a new face Sudden things rearrange, and this whole world seems like a new place Secretly i been tailing you Like a fox that prays on a rabbitt Had to get you and so i knew I had to learn your ways and habits Ooooooh, you were the catch that i was after I looked up and i was in your arms and i knew that i was captured
What's this whole world comin to Things just ain't the same Any time the hunter gets captured by the game
I had to lay such a tender trap Hoping you might fall into it Love hit me with a sudden slap One kiss and then i knew it Ooooooh, my plans didn't work out like i thought 'Cause i had laid my trap for you but it seems that i got caught
What's this whole world comin to Things just ain't the same Any time the hunter gets captured by the game
Sometimes it's so close Sometimes you almost can Touch it with your fingers And hold it in your hands It shines like silver It falls on you like rain But you close your hands on air And there it goes again Your mother's blue And your father too It's in the family So where does that leave you? Your eyes are open Your hands are bruised Your wings are broken So what is there to lose? And the sun coming through the trees Is much prettier than The glare of the light on the sea And the sun coming through the rain Is more precious than gold And here it comes again Here it comes again Here it comes again
Some things never seem to change Kids still call each other names Should get better, but it's sad and strange Every insult still the same Growing up in small town hell They bide their time till the dinner bell Take a swing with a bag, and they wait By the school gate All this pushin and shovin When you need a little lovin A little human kindness But where you gonna find it? So you close your bedroom door And you kneel down on the floor Cause you don't want to get caught Packing the bag that your mother doesn't even Know you bought ""so it's come to this"" you cry Not even time to say goodbye You pack some cigarettes and an a-z Push the suitcase back under the bed You've been balanced on a knife Will the city save your life? You've been waiting for so long Just for somewhere to feel like home You've been balanced on a knife Will the city save your life? Your life is waiting for you Love is waiting for you So pack your cigarettes And your a-z It'll be just like that book you read
Here is the street and here is the door Same as it was before And up the stairs and on the wall Is .... Kiss and Terry Hall And Siouxsie Sioux and Edwin too And Bobby Dee in '63 And everything I knew was good And like it was just understood Now I need that feeling I'm reaching for that feeling Hands up to the ceiling And the rain came down on a cold, gray town And I showed myself to them And I went underground Then I closed my eyes And something passed me by I didn't even try And I don't remember why And now I need that feeling I'm reaching for that feeling Hands up to the ceiling Hands up to the ceiling
I watch the way the light Falls accross the street I watch the way you blink Just before you speak I love the way you breathe I'll hate the day you'll leave It's easy to forget We haven't even started anyway Sometimes love is a mistake An easy one to make And if there's any doubt You're better off without I watch as you sit Staring at your screen I think that I could fit This places in between It's easy when we try We need reminding why We try, when we try Do we just intend to try? And that's broken and sad Still the only thing we have And i'll be waiting here 'til someone has a better idea Something that could make it easy
Woke up this morning to the smell of rain Tears running down your window pane Little pictures on your telephone To remind you that you're not alone Through the curtains see the breaking sun Let you know you're not the only one With your eyes closed You can count the fingers on one hand You've been sleeping with the wrong man Couldn't see through the thick fog Now you're falling off a log Falling off a log Looked at your diamond, it was just a fake Your heart was sleeping, now it's wide awake And all your girlfriends in the living room Sit and tell you it was never you You're trailing Scooby Doos and Pokemon Taxi's here now, so come on, come on Let's get out there No looking back, it's just history You've been barking up the wrong tree Now just follow your own nose And you can do it with your eyes closed Count the fingers on one hand You've been sleeping with the wrong man Teaching tricks to an old dog And now you're falling off a log Falling off a log You can do it with your eyes closed
Empty hours Spent combing the street In daytime showers They've become my beat; As I walk from cafe to bar I wish I knew where you are; Because you've clouded my mind And now I'm all out of time Empty skies say try to forget Better advice is to have no regrets; As I tread the boulevard floor Will I see once more; Because you've clouded my mind 'Till then I'm biding my time
I'm only sad in a natural way And I enjoy sometimes feeling this way The gift you gave is desire The match that started my fire
Empty nights with nothing to do I sit and think, every thought is for you; I get so restless and bored So I go out once more; I hate to feel so confined I feel like I'm wasting my time

I don't want excuses. I don't want your smiles. I don't want to feel like we're apart a thousand miles. I don't want your attitude. I don't want your things. But I don't want a 'phone that never rings. I want your love and I want it now. I don't want your history. I don't want that stuff. I want you to shut your mouth. That would be enough. And I don't care if you've been here before. You don't understand - tonight I feel above the law and I'm coming in to land. I want your love and I want it now. My heart is that much harder now. That's what I thought before today. My heart is that much harder now. And I thought that it would stay that way, before today. Before today. I don't want a 'phone that never rings. I want your love and I want it now.
If the train don’t go there I’ll get a jet or a bus I’m gonna find you You’re mine and I know I’ll find you My head is my only house Until I find you I’ll walk the meadow plains Water deserts by my eyes until I find you I won’t sleep until I find you I won’t eat until I’ve found you Heart won’t beat Until I can wrap my arms around you Heart won’t beat Until I’ve found you My arms are just two things in the way until I can wrap them around you You can make a sad song happy And a bad world good I can feel you out there movin’ You’re mine and I know I’ll find you And my head is my only house unless it rains I hate to let other people hear me sing this song If it reaches you before I do Follow this song to I love you That’s where you’ll find me That’s where you’ll find me Heart won’t beat Until I can wrap my arms around you Heart won’t beat Until I’ve found you My head is my only house unless it rains
I hate to let other people hear me sing this song If it reaches you before I do Follow this song to I love you That’s where you’ll find me That’s where you’ll find me Heart won’t beat Heart won’t beat Heart won’t beat Until I found you And my head is my only house unless it rains
