Well it could have been a Sunday
Or it could have been the next day Or it could have been any day at all And it could have been a good day Or a very very bad day When you made your grand arrival, I can recall But if I know you You'll come sailing through the starlight in the blue And if I know you There'll be something that you do Nobody else could contemplate, it's true If I know you Madonna's in the bathroom Madonna's in the redroom Holy Virgin Mary, come to my aid I'm sinking while you're swimming Losing while you're winning Everything i've given, you give away And if I know you You'll come sailing through the starlight in the blue And if I know you, you'll swim You could never drown if someone pushed you in And if I know you There'll be something that you do Nobody else could even contemplate, it's true If I know you |

Been good, been bad, got worse, got better
I feel I know myself when I'm looking in the mirror Been hurt, been loved - I'm scarred, I'm not bitter I'm an angel with knowledge of a sinner But what do I do and how should I be? When I look at myself I can only be me I need a little patience... Been hard, been soft, been both, been neither Above it all I am only a survivor Been down, been low, got up, got higher We are only human, all just liars So I wait for the day when I open my eyes And I look to myself but it's no big surprise I need a little patience... Well I'm sitting here and sinking And I'm on the 18th floor And I'm thinking do I jump? Or should I stay around for more? I watch my friends get bigger and get better and get richer But I'm not bitter Time I ticking ticking ticking ticking ticking on With a vengeance I want it all I want it all I need a little patience..... |

Guess it's true -
I only ever wanted to be with you. And now I find I've lost my way to go... I always mess it up You should have known I'm not reliable. And now, when I'm tired, I can't get to sleep. My thoughts won't desert me And I cannot dream. The colors have changed, only grey in my life Now my sense of belonging has gone with my smile... But I know someday soon I will get home And I know someday soon I won't be alone Yes I know someday soon I will get home Is this my life? Is this the product of the years I've tried So very hard yet I can't make a choice And when I find the words, I've lost my voice - I'm still a quiet one... But you know my river And it still runs deep A hundred and thousand more secrets to keep... I'm waiting for answers I know are inside Now my teacher is here I can open my eyes... But I know someday soon I will get home And I know someday soon I won't be alone Yes I know someday soon I will get home But you know my river And it still runs deep A hundred and thousand more secrets to keep... I'm waiting for answers I know are inside Now my teacher is here I can open my eyes... |

And my confession would have you on the floor
- if you knew the truth But that's the way they want you - Everyone's a sucker for the haze of youth We're all prairie children, brought up on the lies of the past So it's no surprise then - you will have to ask.... Watch out Billie 'fore you go to fast You say it couldn't hurt, but then it couldn't last You get fifteen minutes while they're watching you You better hold your breath and hope your dreams come true. Watch out girl you'll never be the same If it's a cruel world you gotta play the game You get fifteen minutes while they know your face You'd better pray to God you win the human race. I'm like the weather, burning up to fire, burning up to ice. But i'm deathly certain the little things we love shouldn't be denied We get fed something, but we don't want it, We won't live our life with lies You want your own heaven that you'll make better, You just want your own life. Watch out Billie 'fore you go too fast You say it couldn't hurt, but then it couldn't last You get fifteen miute while they're watching you You better hold your breath and hope your dreams come true. Watch out girl you'll never be the same If it's a cruel world you gotta play the game You get fifteen minutes while they know your face You'd better pray to God you win the human race. |

Love is the one thing to rely on
And as long as we all have today, we'll be okay. Six o'clock, so you feed the kids And you pack them off to school Take a drive through your secret life It's a mystery to you. It's not the way you thought that it would be.... But love is the stuff that we depend on As we make our daily bread Love is the one thing to rely on And as long as we all have today, we'll be okay. I got my yearbook and I found my picture - For a moment I pretend I'm starting over and the road is open Optimistic to the end. But I do not want what I do not have We all get what we need. It's just a sadness and I can't explain it - Oh the world just gets to me. But every star above will show the way.... And love is the stuff that we depend on As we make our daily bread Love is the one thing to rely on And as long as we all have today We'll be okay We'll be okay |

I don't know where I go wrong -
Everything I do just takes so long. I don't know what's up with me I'm swinging from a branch of my family tree... So give me some of yours then, if you think it might get better If you're sure you've got the answer, you know I'm going to let you... Oh, you know it, you're shining like the rainbow And the birds and bees all know your name I could be black, I could be blue, I could be anything for you If you'd just shine your color like the rainbow. I don't want your sympathy - Just for you to worship me. I just want to be adored, every day of every year. So this is good, and this is bad, and I'm the only God you'll have... Oh, do you dare to disagree? So give me some of yours then, if you don't I'm gonna thieve it. If you thought I was a good girl, you'd better not believe it. Oh, you know it, you're shining like the rainbow And the birds and bees all know your name I could be black, I could be blue, I could be anything for you If you'd just shine your color like the rainbow. I could be pink, I could be blue, I will be everything for you If you'd just shine your color like the rainbow... Oh..you'd make me burn for you boy, why should I burn? Why should I burn for you boy, why should I burn? I'm just a girl, I'm just a girl... I'm just a girl, I'm just a girl! Oh, you know it, you're shining like the rainbow And the birds and bees all know your name I could be black, I could be blue, I could be anything for you If you'd just shine your color like the rainbow. I will be pink, I will be blue, I will be everything for you If you'd just shine your color like the rainbow... If you'd just shine your color like the rainbow... If you'd just shine your color like the rainbow... |

Brother won't you look at the sky
There's something burning so bright And what it is I can't see But I think it's coming at me Did you get here in a rocket And did you journey through space Did your mother never scold you Oh when she looked at your face Do you know where you came from Because you look out of place In a town where only the rain comes down You fell down to earth Like an alien, like an alien, like an alien Funny because I feel quite at ease I think you come here in peace We're universal in smiles You know they see it for miles Did you get here in a rocket And did you journey through space Did your mother never scold you Oh when she looked at your face Do you know where you came from Because you look out of place In a town where only the rain comes down You fell down to earth Like an alien, like an alien, like an alien |

Oh good Lord above, I'm immune to the love of a good man
I go for the suckers, those mean motherfuckers I can't resist. If I should get bitten. As long as he's smitten I understand That pain comes with pleasure, such bittersweet treasure cannot be missed. So how can you help me now? I can't help myself.... I go on and jump, give it a try Checking the parachute, see if it flies. Oh I don't care if I should fall I never bruise.... I go on and just, give it a try Don't call the ambulance, I'm still alive And if I should break my neck I'll make the news. The Friday night ritual of pulling habitual non-entities. The lawyers, the bankers, the next morning thank you's and "call you soon..." These public school faces, I thought time erases one's misery Oh no, it comes back to haunt you, old photos will taunt of your big mistake So how can you save me now? I can't save myself.... I go on and jump, give it a try Checking the parachute, see if it flies. I don't care if i should fall I never bruise.... I go on and jump, give it a try Don't call the ambulance, I'm still alive And if I should break my neck I'll make the news. I go on and jump, give it a try Checking the parachute, see if it flies.

Very good sir, getting better
Could be amazing if you'd try Such a sweet boy, very Catholic Eyes so beautifully wide But I'm just a bloodhound really Hunting with the pack - I do it well I only chase to pass the time I have been desperately wondering If you want me lately I only need to see a sign C'mon and show me now... Very good sir, getting better But you won't look me in the eye Do I scare you? If I dared you Would you like to come inside? Here on the one hand The gentle way of happiness - You only want to drag it down. Coke in your bathroom cabinet - Scary is your night time habit. I want to wipe away your frown... Oh yeah, I do. Very good sir, yes it's better Since you looked me in the eye Such a sweet boy, very Catholic Eyes so beautifully wide So why must you fight? Why not just live and let the world go by every day. And what makes you right? How much you earn? Don't you know your cash won't buy what love will buy Very good sir, yes it's better Since you looked me in the eye Such a sweet boy, very Catholic Eyes so beautifully wide |

Dear Frustrated Superstar, your mother's waiting in the car
To whisk you off to your new premiere And all the friends who knew your name Are waiting, wondering what became Of the girl that they once knew but never loved They never loved. So every city tells the lie Of beggars, tramps and butterflies Of all these things, then what am I? A princess in a threadbare gown, A gaudy, painted circus clown? A child who lost her key and can't get home? All the things I never was - A traitor in the Western Wars A girl who did it just because. Do or die, or don't at all Prepare to suffer for your call Some things have to hurt or they're not true. They can't be true When you die, you'll wonder, "was that it?" Will you think of how you'd wished you lived? Well, you're here now Yes you're here now. So I only want to be up there With a hundred others, I don't care 'Cause I'm here now Yes I'm here now. Papers, books, philosophy An envelopes eternity I count each passing minute, hour, day..... Wonder how I smile so well, Wonder how they never tell There's really no one living here at all. So here a line from God's own song To comfort you when things go wrong My children never visit me. Go searching in my sky at night They must be there to set alight Their mothers aching heart is so unsure I'm so unsure.... When you die, you'll wonder, "was that it?" Will you think of how you'd wished you lived? Well, you're here now Yes you're here now. So I only want to be up there With a hundred others, I don't care 'Cause I'm here now Yes I'm here now. Dear Frustrated Superstar, I really hope you get that far If not, I hope you live I hope you live. |

Tinkerbelle, my winged friend, I think we got it wrong.
No fairy tale or happy ending, just prehistoric songs. A crystal in my baby's eyes, I want what I can't love So now I've learnt how to despise, I think I've learnt enough..... If blood is blood, then blood will flow - That's all it does, that's all it knows But I've one question, I want something, I want more. So flesh is flesh, an urgent fire It drags you down, this cheap desire. We all want something, maybe beauty, Maybe more...... Absolution, constitution, leave it all behind Take off your shirt, your worried face, and let me lose your mind. I thought that I might change the world, but all I changed was me.. So now I sleep most days and think of where this all might lead. Oh blood is blood, and blood will flow - That's all it does, that's all it knows But I've one question, I want something, I want more. So flesh is flesh, an urgent fire It drags you down, this cheap desire We all want something, maybe beauty, Maybe more...... Blood will rain a little, Down each mountainside - Every cloud will bring you...... Here. Oh blood is blood, and blood will flow - That's all it does, that's all it knows But I've one question, I want something, I want more. So flesh is flesh, an urgent fire (So flesh is flesh, and it twists the soul) It drags you down, this cheap desire (Like a tourniquet, like a begging bowl) We all want something, maybe beauty, (Like some long forbidden treasure in the dirt....) Maybe more...... Oh blood is blood, and blood will flow - (Blood is Blood, and it's on our hands) That's all it does, that's all it knows (That's the price of grace for the common man) But I've one question, I want something, (For that one good hour you pay with all your life) I want more. I want more |

God is good, I never understood
All the darkness in his soul. And God made man, the only way he can, But for a heart he left a hole.. And it's killing you And it's killing me too Are we failing the truth? I'm betting on desire, I'm betting on deceit I'm betting on a moment when everything is sweet I'm betting on disaster in every living hour. Would you burn your fingers if you touched God? Will he let you in if you have or not? Once my friend, I loved you as a child Kissed your face before I slept. Be in my head, and with me when I sleep In the bloodied tears he wept. And it's killing you And it's killing me too Are we failing the truth? I'm betting on indifference, I'm betting on belief I'm thinking of a beauty where everything's complete I'm betting on a laughter, a very distant star.... Would you burn your fingers if you touched God? Will he let you in if you have or not? And it's killing you And it's killing me too Are we failing the truth in everything we do? Are we failing the truth? I'm betting on desire, I'm betting on deceit I'm betting on a moment where everything is sweet I'm thinking of the beauty I love with all my heart..... Would you burn your fingers if you touched God? Will he let you in if you have or not? Will he let you in? |

Thousands, no millions of hours
We've been skirting around this whole subject Like children stuck in a museum. And I'm dry now. My mouth will not speak, I'm weary and weak And I only wanted to see you again. If that's unfair, just let me know, Just write it down, and then I'll go. But you skate around my human skin An apple where your throat begins Just say.... Just tell the stars to give a sign, Put it in a bottle..... Say you're mine. And it's better, better than music, Better than words to be with you But better that we're apart. Can't you feel it? It's taken me over, left me for dead like Ophelia. Who knew a prince and survived? And so I ask in every line That I might learn of your design Because you skate around my human skin Your name is where my heart begins Just say.... Just tell the stars to give a sign, Put it in a bottle... Say you're mine. Because you skate around my human skin Your name is where my heart begins Just say.... Just tell the stars to give a sign, Put it in a bottle... Say you're mine. |

Venus loved Daphne and so did Apollo
So why can't I make myself like a tree? Why must I burn daily and nightly When nobody's running - well not after me. Must I wait, must I pray: Something good to come my way? Oh Daphne was stupid! Oh, how could she do it? How could she turn her prince from her door? 'Cause if you came calling, boy I'd let you in But you don't come calling, no not anymore. So I wait, and I grow old When I'm dead, then you'll know. Do you know? You know. |

I've got a friend, he's a pure-bred killing machine,
He said he's waited his whole damn life for this, I knew him well when he was seventeen, Now he's a man who'll be dead by Christmas. And, so... Everybody's going to war, But we don't know what we're fighting for, Don't tell me it's a worthy cause, No cause could be so worthy. If love is a drug, I guess we're all sober, If hope is a song I guess it's all over, How to have faith, when faith is a crime? I don't want to die... If God's on our side, then God is a joker, Asleep on the job, his children fall over, Running out through the door and straight to the sky, I don't want to die... For every man who wants to rule the world, There'll be a man who just wants to be free, What do we learn but what should not be learnt? Too late to find a cure for this disease. so... Everybody's going to war, But we don't know what we're fighting for, Don't tell me it's a worthy cause, No cause could be so worthy.

I've got a quarter in my pocket of an apple left to eat:
It's a wonder that I'm standing on my own two feet. In the shadow of a thousand veiled Victorian goodbyes Jewels of litter come to greet me, and it stings my eyes. Oh it burns like a fire and it pulls me through- We are parted by desire for the strange and new. I've got a quarter in my pocket, I'm advancing to the booth, I am picking up and praying that I talk to you. And now, I'm halfway home, I'm at the corner of our street, Would you like to come and meet me? Now that I am halfway home Man, I never felt so lonely- I long for you to hold me now I'm home. Somedays, there was comfort as a stranger far from home Sometimes, a hunger and a longing not to be alone. Imagining emotion in each man that I would meet- But it was physics, and subtraction, to an ancient beat. Oh, it burned like a fire and I wore it so... We are tied up in desire and we won't let go. Well, I've no quarter in my pocket of no apple left to eat; I am running, I am running and I can't feel my feet. And now, I'm halfway home, I'm at the corner of our street, Would you like to come and meet me? Now that I'm halfway home Man, I never felt so lonely- I long for you to hold me now I'm home Now I'm home, home is where I wanna be, Now I'm home, home is where I'm gonna be. Past the church and past the steeple, Past the sad and lonely people, Past the old school on the avenue, I am running, I am running... And now, I'm halfway home, I'm at the corner of our street, Would you like to come and meet me Now that I'm halfway home Man, I never felt so lonely- I long for you to hold me now I'm home. |

Years ago, you said to me,
"I think I'm losing the fight, Or the fight's losing me, I'm not certain," And here we are-the closing scenes, And all the house lights come up, Oh, the falling of our final curtain... I've played a role for so long that I've forgotten myself, But I said I'd be there and I'm keeping my word, You've played yourself so well, And now I want to be you, A great imitation of losing my nerve. Oh, it's over, And everything is wrong, everything has gone, And I know that everything means nothing, Oh, it's over, But I don't want to fight, I don't want to be right, I know that everything means nothing, On the road to Damascus they fell. I saw the light-I saw the light! But hey, it never saw me, Oh, conversion has just left me heathen, And we could wait a thousand years, Perhaps a million or more, If it's worth waiting for, but I'm leaving, So on to a mecca of earthly delights, Depression is only desire deprived, Once more unto the breach and fuck my getting it right, We've died for so long, let's just get out alive. 'Cause it's over, And everything is wrong, everything has gone, And I know that everything means nothing, Oh, it's over, But I don't want to fight, I don't want to be right, I know that everything means nothing, On the road to Damascus they fell, Well I've been to Damascuc. It's hell, hell is where I'm gonna be, The devil my intimate friend, And hell is other people's hearts, And knowing that everything must end. Oh, it's over... And everything is wrong, everything has gone, And I know that everything means nothing, Oh, it's over, But I don't want to fight, I don't want to be right, I know that everything means nothing, On the road to Damascus they fell, Well, I've been to Damascus as well. |

In the back of a car on a road in the dark
In the stillicide, silently falling snow I have packed everything that I own in a bag And I'm driving, I'm driving to Idaho A poem for leaving, a reason to go So I'm driving, I'm driving to Idaho Cause I can't be anyone but me, anyone but me And I can't keep dreaming that I'm free, dreaming that I'm free I don't want to fall asleep and watch my life from fifty feet, My hands are on the wheel so I'm driving to Idaho, Cause I hear it's mighty pretty.. And oh, l've been dumb, l've been perfectly beautiful, Lain on my back buying lovers with stealyh, But I'm sick of you all, and I'm sick of opinions, And I'm sick of this war I wage on myself and I don't know why I'm so gripped to go there A universe riddle that only I know? Mr. Robert he says, "It's all in the head!" Tell me, Phaedrus, what's good, is it Idaho? Cause I can't be anyone but me, anyone but me And I can't keep dreaming that I'm free, dreaming that I'm free I don't want to fall asleep and watch my life from fifty feet, My hands are on the wheel so I'm driving to Idaho, Cause I hear it's mighty pretty.. Cause I hear it's mighty pretty.. Cause I can't be anyone but me, anyone but me And I can't keep dreaming that I'm free, dreaming that I'm free I don't want to fall asleep and watch my life from fifty feet, My hands are on the wheel so I'm driving to Idaho, Cause I hear it's mighty pretty.. In Idaho. |

Oh, this road is long, this road is wide,
It takes more than luck to last the ride, It takes strength and it takes courage to survive, And did someone ever say to you, "There's nothing bound in thought you cannot do?" Well, I've seen some things but not all of them came true. So I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first, Don't want to be alone with my thoughts tomorrow, And I don't want to be afraid, don't want to look away, I'm learning to breathe, No I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first, I just need a hope and a light to follow, Like sailors look to stars to find their way home, I'm learning to breathe on my own. And I know a man who lost his wife, This is the way he chooses to describe his life, He says, "If I think too much, I find there's just a hole," But before she went, she left a son, He says, "Dad, you're not the only one, Maybe love is just a requiem for the soul..." So I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first, Don't want to be alone with my thoughts tomorrow, And I don't want to be afraid, don't want to look away, I'm learning to breathe, No I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first, I just need a hope and a light to follow, Like sailors look to stars to find their way home, I'm learning to breathe on my own. Oh, do you still feel small? Just a speck of life on an ocean wave, Does it pull us all? Does it pull us all? So I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first, Don't want to be alone with my thoughts tomorrow, And I don't want to be afraid, don't want to look away, I'm learning to breathe, No I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first, I just need a hope and a light to follow, Like sailors look to stars to find their way home, I'm learning to breathe on my own. |

Good days, bad days, I've had a few of those,
Same old story-I know how this song goes, At least I did, but now I'm not so sure, Nothing's in its place, nothing's certain anymore, Birds fly, trees sway, why can't I be like that? Happy knowing what I am, in fact and leaving be? But truth has been obscured, I am only human and I'm always wanting more. And the world is a place and they say it's on our side, But I wonder, is there comfort in those moments when we die? Now I see, Mr. King, this was in the books you gave me, Which I read, disbelieving, thinking poets are depressed, Oh, Mr. King, I have changed, I confess. Oh, those good days I remember well, Tape on windows, wintertime was hell, But it was fun, and people there were kind, There was good work to be done, and I learnt to think my time. And the world was a good place, and in days were where I lived, I imagined life had purpose and I'd something good to give, Mr. Cave played along on the battered hallway piano, Oh, every love song a secret to be shared, Hey, Mr. King, how I wish I was back there. Now, I've got 10 things lined up on a shelf, Reasons to be cheerful for myself, I don't know why you're showing me the sky, You say you see heaven, I see hell, but want to try. And the world is a place, and I pray it's on my side, But I'd find greater comfort if I just lay down and died, I don't know what's become of a girl who once knew sunshine, What's become of a girl who knew sorrow but was strong? Oh, Mr. King you were right, all along, Mr. King you were right, Oh, Mr. King, you were right-I was wrong. |

I am checking my face in the back of a spoon, You're accusing, you say I'm not here, but I'm here, yes I'm here, I'm not on the moon, I'm leaving so soon, But don't presume to know shit about me, 'Cause I don't know myself from one day to the next, And I don't pose perplexities purposely, 'Cause it isn't a game, it isn't a test. And now hey, you, could you give it a rest? Just take me home, c'mon and get me undressed, Put on a fire and make it enough, For we're geeks, but we know this is love. Nine am to the beat of a drum, As we drive through the canyon, I'm feeling the hum of the engine, My head and my heart are a-swim, will your cat be ok? Your wife was she in? Your wife, is she in??? 'Cause I don't presume to know shit about you, When you won't really tell me until I beg you to, But I know that perplexity's a wonderful thing, It's a sudden found joy, the strangeness it brings... And now hey, you, could you give it a rest? Just take me home, c'mon and get me undressed, Put on a fire and make it enough, For we're geeks, but we know this is love, this is love. Geeks, but we know this is love. I like that we argue, But not everyday, Your scent in a room, And the way that you say 'color' not 'colour'. What colour today? It's grey, grey, it's grey. Oh hey, you, could you give it a rest? Just take me home, c'mon and get me undressed, Put on a fire and make it enough, For we're geeks, but we know this is love, this is love. Hey, you, could you give it a rest? Just take me home, c'mon and get me undressed, Put on a fire and make it enough, For we're geeks, but we know this is love, this is love, yeah. Geeks, but we know this is love. |

5 o'clock and a fire escape symphony
Spilling out across the road and the square. And the sky's the same as your own, do you think of me? Do the parks, and trees, and the leaves reach you, there? After the rain, in the lonely hours he haunts me, calling out. Again, and again. Sophia, sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out. Sophia, sophia, I'm learning that some things I can't go without and one of them is him now I walk these streets like a stranger in my home town. Learn the language, form the words when I speak But he changed me, I'm his ghost since he came around now I count the hours and the days and the weeks. Passion and silence. Every word. Every line. A Measure. It's the science of the soul. And his books, they breathe a reason and now I, I wanna know... Sophia, sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out. Sophia, sophia, I'm learning that some things I can't go without and one of them is him, and you, with your new born eyes, have you ever loved a man like I love him? Do you hurt but still feel alive, like never before? Oh, sophia. Sophia. Sophia, sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out. Sophia, sophia, I'm learning that some things I can't go without. I can't go without him. |

Hey was there something that you wanted to say?
I don't know what to do when you look that way, Cigarettes and tequila at 6, And the sun going down on our life as it is, In the blue light oh, your face, it looks...so...pale, In the blue light, I can tell what you're going to say. But all good people have a sense of themselves, They never worry, they know what tomorrow will bring, And all good people know the world is ok, Why should we worry, when we can do anything? I heard that story, how you never went back, What your mouth will not say, your eyes do for you... A paper flower, and her pill in your drawer, And her ghost at the bar drinks tequila too, In the blue light, could we put this one to bed? In the blue light, will you think of me instead? 'Cause all good people have a sense of themselves, They never worry, they know what tomorrow will bring, And all good people know the world is ok, Why should we worry, when we can do anything? In the blue light, could we put this one to bed? In the blue light, will you think of me instead?

People and places will be so far behind, Out of my body, In a little while, I will play aces, And raise my glass in an act of defiance. Until then, I'll scream until I'm hollow, I'll carve it in my skin, save it for tomorrow.

Here is my story-
A little sad of soul, a little weary Maybe I am that? Will nobody love me? Is an empty heart and a conscience all I have? If i die tonight, if I give up the fight Will you do something for me? Tell them my story, tell them well Tell them everything you know I was born in the springtime Born of love and cradled in a misfit history Of blind faith and pantomime Oh, I know what I am but I don't see So if I die tomight, if I give up the fight Will you do something for me? Tell them my story, tell them well Tell them everything you know So if I die tonight, if I give up the fight Will you do something for me? So if I die toniight Won't you do something for me? Tell them my story, tell them well Tell them everything you know Won't you tell them my story? Won't you tell them, tell them Tell them everything about me About me when I'm gone When we're dead and gone What will still be here? What will carry on? When we're dead and gone When there's nothing left What will still be here? |

I've got a friend, he's a pure-bred killing machine,
He said he's waited his whole damn life for this, I knew him well when he was seventeen, Now he's a man who'll be dead by Christmas. And, so...

If love is a drug, I guess we're all sober, If hope is a song I guess it's all over, How to have faith, when faith is a crime? I don't want to die...

For every man who wants to rule the world, There'll be a man who just wants to be free, What do we learn but what should not be learnt? Too late to find a cure for this disease. so...

Good days, bad days, I've had a few of those,
Same old story-I know how this song goes, At least I did, but now I'm not so sure, Nothing's in its place, nothing's certain anymore, Birds fly, trees sway, why can't I be like that? Happy knowing what I am, in fact and leaving be? But truth has been obscured, I am only human and I'm always wanting more. And the world is a place and they say it's on our side, But I wonder, is there comfort in those moments when we die? Now I see, Mr. King, this was in the books you gave me, Which I read, disbelieving, thinking poets are depressed, Oh, Mr. King, I have changed, I confess. Oh, those good days I remember well, Tape on windows, wintertime was hell, But it was fun, and people there were kind, There was good work to be done, and I learnt to think my time. And the world was a good place, and in days were where I lived, I imagined life had purpose and I'd something good to give, Mr. Cave played along on the battered hallway piano, Oh, every love song a secret to be shared, Hey, Mr. King, how I wish I was back there. Now, I've got 10 things lined up on a shelf, Reasons to be cheerful for myself, I don't know why you're showing me the sky, You say you see heaven, I see hell, but want to try. And the world is a place, and I pray it's on my side, But I'd find greater comfort if I just lay down and died, I don't know what's become of a girl who once knew sunshine, What's become of a girl who knew sorrow but was strong? Oh, Mr. King you were right, all along, Mr. King you were right, Oh, Mr. King, you were right-I was wrong. |

I've got a quarter in my pocket of an apple left to eat: It's a wonder that I'm standing on my own two feet. In the shadow of a thousand veiled Victorian goodbyes Jewels of litter come to greet me, and it stings my eyes. Oh it burns like a fire and it pulls me through- We are parted by desire for the strange and new. I've got a quarter in my pocket, I'm advancing to the booth, I am picking up and praying that I talk to you. And now, I'm halfway home, I'm at the corner of our street, Would you like to come and meet me? Now that I am halfway home Man, I never felt so lonely- I long for you to hold me now I'm home. Somedays, there was comfort as a stranger far from home Sometimes, a hunger and a longing not to be alone. Imagining emotion in each man that I would meet- But it was physics, and subtraction, to an ancient beat. Oh, it burned like a fire and I wore it so... We are tied up in desire and we won't let go. Well, I've no quarter in my pocket of no apple left to eat; I am running, I am running and I can't feel my feet. And now, I'm halfway home, I'm at the corner of our street, Would you like to come and meet me? Now that I'm halfway home Man, I never felt so lonely- I long for you to hold me now I'm home Now I'm home, home is where I wanna be, Now I'm home, home is where I'm gonna be. Past the church and past the steeple, Past the sad and lonely people, Past the old school on the avenue, I am running, I am running... And now, I'm halfway home, I'm at the corner of our street, Would you like to come and meet me Now that I'm halfway home Man, I never felt so lonely- I long for you to hold me now I'm home. |

Years ago, you said to me, "I think I'm losing the fight, Or the fight's losing me, I'm not certain," And here we are-the closing scenes, And all the house lights come up, Oh, the falling of our final curtain... I've played a role for so long that I've forgotten myself, But I said I'd be there and I'm keeping my word, You've played yourself so well, And now I want to be you, A great imitation of losing my nerve. Oh, it's over, And everything is wrong, everything has gone, And I know that everything means nothing, Oh, it's over, But I don't want to fight, I don't want to be right, I know that everything means nothing, On the road to Damascus they fell. I saw the light-I saw the light! But hey, it never saw me, Oh, conversion has just left me heathen, And we could wait a thousand years, Perhaps a million or more, If it's worth waiting for, but I'm leaving, So on to a mecca of earthly delights, Depression is only desire deprived, Once more unto the breach and fuck my getting it right, We've died for so long, let's just get out alive. 'Cause it's over, And everything is wrong, everything has gone, And I know that everything means nothing, Oh, it's over, But I don't want to fight, I don't want to be right, I know that everything means nothing, On the road to Damascus they fell, Well I've been to Damascuc. It's hell, hell is where I'm gonna be, The devil my intimate friend, And hell is other people's hearts, And knowing that everything must end. Oh, it's over... And everything is wrong, everything has gone, And I know that everything means nothing, Oh, it's over, But I don't want to fight, I don't want to be right, I know that everything means nothing, On the road to Damascus they fell, Well, I've been to Damascus as well. |

In the back of a car on a road in the dark
In the stillicide, silently falling snow I have packed everything that I own in a bag And I'm driving, I'm driving to Idaho A poem for leaving, a reason to go So I'm driving, I'm driving to Idaho Cause I can't be anyone but me, anyone but me And I can't keep dreaming that I'm free, dreaming that I'm free I don't want to fall asleep and watch my life from fifty feet, My hands are on the wheel so I'm driving to Idaho, Cause I hear it's mighty pretty.. And oh, l've been dumb, l've been perfectly beautiful, Lain on my back buying lovers with stealyh, But I'm sick of you all, and I'm sick of opinions, And I'm sick of this war I wage on myself and I don't know why I'm so gripped to go there A universe riddle that only I know? Mr. Robert he says, "It's all in the head!" Tell me, Phaedrus, what's good, is it Idaho? Cause I can't be anyone but me, anyone but me And I can't keep dreaming that I'm free, dreaming that I'm free I don't want to fall asleep and watch my life from fifty feet, My hands are on the wheel so I'm driving to Idaho, Cause I hear it's mighty pretty.. Cause I hear it's mighty pretty.. Cause I can't be anyone but me, anyone but me And I can't keep dreaming that I'm free, dreaming that I'm free I don't want to fall asleep and watch my life from fifty feet, My hands are on the wheel so I'm driving to Idaho, Cause I hear it's mighty pretty.. In Idaho. |

Oh, this road is long, this road is wide, It takes more than luck to last the ride, It takes strength and it takes courage to survive, And did someone ever say to you, "There's nothing bound in thought you cannot do?" Well, I've seen some things but not all of them came true. So I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first, Don't want to be alone with my thoughts tomorrow, And I don't want to be afraid, don't want to look away, I'm learning to breathe, No I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first, I just need a hope and a light to follow, Like sailors look to stars to find their way home, I'm learning to breathe on my own. And I know a man who lost his wife, This is the way he chooses to describe his life, He says, "If I think too much, I find there's just a hole," But before she went, she left a son, He says, "Dad, you're not the only one, Maybe love is just a requiem for the soul..." So I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first, Don't want to be alone with my thoughts tomorrow, And I don't want to be afraid, don't want to look away, I'm learning to breathe, No I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first, I just need a hope and a light to follow, Like sailors look to stars to find their way home, I'm learning to breathe on my own. Oh, do you still feel small? Just a speck of life on an ocean wave, Does it pull us all? Does it pull us all? So I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first, Don't want to be alone with my thoughts tomorrow, And I don't want to be afraid, don't want to look away, I'm learning to breathe, No I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first, I just need a hope and a light to follow, Like sailors look to stars to find their way home, I'm learning to breathe on my own. |

If i die tonight, if I give up the fight Will you do something for me? Tell them my story, tell them well Tell them everything you know I was born in the springtime Born of love and cradled in a misfit history Of blind faith and pantomime Oh, I know what I am but I don't see So if I die tomight, if I give up the fight Will you do something for me? Tell them my story, tell them well Tell them everything you know So if I die tonight, if I give up the fight Will you do something for me? So if I die toniight Won't you do something for me? Tell them my story, tell them well Tell them everything you know Won't you tell them my story? Won't you tell them, tell them Tell them everything about me About me when I'm gone When we're dead and gone What will still be here? What will carry on? When we're dead and gone When there's nothing left What will still be here? |

I stand in the distance, I view from afar
Should I offer some assistance Should it matter who you are We all get hurt by love, and we all have our cross to bear But in the name of understanding, now Our problems should be shared Confide in me, confide in me I can keep a secret and throw away the key But sometimes to release it is to set our children free We all get hurt by love, and we all have our cross to bear But in the name of understanding, now Our problems should be shared Confide in me, confide in... Stick or twist, the choice is yours Hit or miss, what's mine is yours We all get hurt by love, and we all have our cross to bear But in the name of understanding, now Our problems should be shared Confide in me, confide in me Confide in me, confide in me |

Oh it's the strangest thing
I wasn't looking out for anything My boat had just set sail I was flying as the wind prevailed What did you think you were doing, doing? I couldn't shake loose, not from you, not from you I couldn't shake loose, now I don't mind Put your hands up Say you won't stop giving me love 'Cause I need you to feel me, feel me Put your hands up Say you won't stop giving me love I don't care if it's greedy, greedy Whatever you want, you've got it Whatever you do, I'm on it Whatever you want, you've got it Just put your hands up I was a lonely girl Swimming lost in the widest sea But the truth of it There ain't no man could ever get to me Now I just see stars when I'm with you This is my heart that I give you What did you do with your voodoo, voodoo child? What did you do to me? Put your hands up Say you won't stop giving me love 'Cause I need you to feel me, feel me Put your hands up Say you won't stop giving me love I don't care if it's greedy, greedy Whatever you want, you've got it Whatever you do, I'm on it Whatever you want, you've got it Just put your hands up Put your hands up Put your hands up Say you won't stop giving me love 'Cause I need you to feel me, feel me Put your hands up Say you won't stop giving me love I don't care if it's greedy, greedy Whatever you want, you've got it Whatever you do, I'm on it Whatever you want, you've got it Just put your hands up Put your hands up now Come on and put your hands up now Whatever you want, you've got it Just put your hands up |

All your sympathy and all your flattery
Won't get me home tonight All those pretty lines that serve some other kind Won't set this spark alight You've a fix for feeling, I've a thing for meaning That don't come so easily It's the conversation while I keep you waiting It's the bit before, you see You got your fingers on my wrist now Accidentally on purpose Close enough so I can breathe you Close enough to make me nervous Love is hate and love is fire Fill my head with dumb desire Turn me on again Come on, come on and turn me on again Creature chemistry, that same old enemy He gets me every time It's something small you say, it's something throwaway It goes around and 'round my mind It's inescapable, it's more than physical I'm born again, I'm born again I'm born again, I'm born again I feel the rushing of my blood now Every time that you come closer I feel the rushing of my blood now Oh won't you move a little closer? Love is hate and love is fire Fill my head with dumb desire Turn me on again Come on, come on and turn me on again Love is hate and love is mercy First you kiss and then you curse me Turn me on again Come on, come on and turn me on again You got your fingers on my wrist now Accidentally on purpose Close enough so I can breathe you Close enough to make me nervous Love is hate and love is fire Fill my head with dumb desire Turn me on again Come on, come on and turn me on again Love is hate and love is mercy First you kiss and then you curse me Turn me on again Come on, come on and turn me on again Love is hate and love is fire Fill my head with dumb desire Turn me on again Come on, come on and turn me on again Turn me on again Come on, come on and turn me on again Come on, come on and turn me on again Come on, come on and turn me on again |

All bets are off
Lay your cards on the table Draw down the moon All bets are off 'Cause I know you're not able And everything will be ending soon I don't speak, I don't feel 'Cause I know that it's over But this hurt is unreal So I'm holding on I don't speak, I don't feel But I know what it takes This is how it feels when a heart breaks This is how it feels when a heart breaks Just one more time Let me dream of fresh fortune Just one more time Freak show divine All the things that I can't do Crowd and muddle my mind Was it always ever this? Were we condemned to an end? A bitterness that tastes so sweet No matter what I do Must I always think of you Forever, forever? I don't speak, I don't feel 'Cause I know that it's over But this hurt is unreal So I'm holding on I don't speak, I don't feel 'Cause I know what it takes This is how it feels when a heart breaks This is how it feels when a heart breaks When a heart breaks I don't speak, I don't feel 'Cause I know that it's over But this hurt is unreal So I'm holding on I don't speak, I don't feel But I know what it takes This is how it feels when a heart breaks This is how it feels when a heart breaks Oh, this is how it feels Yeah, this is how it feels. |

If I lost you now, would I cry,
And hang my head forlorn instead? Would I greet each day in silence And wipe each tear, each hopeless hole Wordlessly away until I slip into shadows? If I lost you now, would I be sorry? Would I slowly stumble on somehow? Would I hide my eyes to this empty life If I lost you now? Would the world go on regardless And foreign runes of time pursued? Love is his name and ever shall be How could they know what I'd let go? I'd beg the bitter end of days to swallow me whole If I lost you now, would I be sorry? Would I slowly stumble on somehow? Would I hide my eyes from this lonely life If I lost you now? If I lost you now? If I lost you now, would I cry? Oh my god, would I! |

I, I had a butterfly
I had a sense of something in my heart And then it died It's true And it reminds me of you It reminds me of places I have been just passing through Pale as the moon I'll always want your name 'Cause pain, We all have pain We all have something of our past that still remains If you really, really can't let go Start no fire, start no fire If you really, really can't let go Start no fire, start no fire Just be as pale as the moon 'Cause you, What can you do When the strangeness of these times, they get to you? If you really, really can't let go Start no fire, start no fire If you really, really can't let go Start no fire, start no fire Just be as pale as the moon As pale as the moon If you really, really can't let go Start no fire, start no fire If you really, really can't let go Start no fire, start no fire If you really don't know What you're hanging on for But you do it the same And you do it some more If you really don't know What you're holding on for Start no fire, start no fire |

I can live with my old friend disappointment
I can live with things not as they ought to be I can snatch a sorry crumb of comfort From the jaws of what might have been victory I'll make do, like everyone I put my head upon the pillow when the day is done I make do, don't we all? I hope we're headed for a future and not headed for a fall I don't know what this world's about But this will be our year I don't know why I'm singing out But this will be our year Day by day, brick by brick we'll build it Make a life, make something to call our own Just enough to keep the wolf at bay Just enough so we don't feel so alone I'll make do, like everyone What the point regretting all the things you've done? We make do, that's what it takes You keep on keeping on and you learn from your mistakes I don't know what this world's about But this will be our year I don't know why I'm singing out But this will be our year Hold on now, this will be our year This will be our year Come on now, this will be our year I make do, like everyone I put my head down on the pillow when the day is done We make done, that's what it takes You keep on keeping on and you learn from your mistakes I don't know what this world's about But this will be our year I don't know why I'm singing out But this will be our year I don't know what this world's about But this will our year I don't know why I'm singing out But this will be our year Come on now, this will be our year Hold on now, this will be our year |

When all of the world is ended
All of our beauty turned to dust The fires of youth all faded Every empire left to rust Will you still love me? Will you still want me? Will you still need me, Anyway? 'Cause I'll always want you with me When you are old and full of sleep Oh love is a contagious thing Unfathomable, timeless, deep Will you still love me? Will you still want me? Will you still need me, Anyway? 'Cause you'll still be my green-eyed boy And I'll still want to stay up nights And dance till the sun comes up over the hills And when there are no hills There'll still be you Will you still love me? Will you still want me? Will you still need me, Anyway? Anyway? |

I do not want what I do not have
Just give me a laugh 'cause I'm easy to please One good book and a faithful friend Things money cannot buy Life is short but the day is long So give me a minute, I'll give you a song I do not want what I do not have 'Cause baby, I've got you Who could ask for anything more? It's so good to be alive I shall not ask for anything more Now I've got you by my side I know a boy who'd give anything For five minutes more in this cruel world Just to see the evening sun Blood red in the sky once more Even if you come back again, Life is short so you best be happy I do not want what I do not need Who could ask for anything more? It's so good to be alive I shall not ask for anything more 'Cause I got you by my side While the sun is in the sky While the light is in our eyes While the band is playing dance We're here, now, aren't we? While the moon is still set high You'll stay steady by my side It's a miracle we're here now, aren't we? Who could ask for anything more? It's so good to be alive I shall ask for anything more 'Cause I've got you by my side I, I got you by my I, I got you by my side I, I got you by my |

Will you come down off there?
It's a heavenly height For someone so fragile and haunted at night And I cannot save you Try as I might I'm wasting myself but I want to take flight Oh kid, if I could, I would try So they gave you the Bible But the good book just lied 'Cause nobody said life would be such a trial And now there are tears in your eyes It's a long way down Don't look down, don't look down And it's hard holding on But grace will come, so kid hold on 'Cause I just want to love you I just want to try 'Cause life is so short and we're both gonna die So put your head on my shoulder Lift your eyes to the sky You're my blood and my baby and we're gonna fly As long as we're here we must try It's a long way down Don't look down, don't look down And it's hard holding on But grace will come, so kid hold on I just want to love you I just want to try 'Cause life is so short and we're both gonna die But take a deep breath, let's fly |

Six million souls lost to thin air
Are wandering the earth again Lives, not numbers All these ghosts, sons of mothers History is empty arms It's just one thing after another And slowly we follow behind our boys One day I'll have a child of my own How will I tell him, oh This world, this world it is a good place? How will I hide the fear from my face? How do you sleep with all that you've done? Sending somebody else's son to die For things no one believes in Saluting your own charade As we line up in this heartless parade |
