What if there was no lie Nothing wrong, nothing right What if there was no time And no reason, or rhyme What if you should decide That you don′t want me there by your side That you don′t want me there in your life What if I got it wrong And no poem or song Could put right what I got wrong Or make you feel I belong
What if you should decide That you don′t want me there by your side That you don′t want me there in your life
Ooh ooh-ooh, that′s right Let′s take a breath, jump over the side Ooh ooh-ooh, that′s right How can you know it, if you don′t even try Ooh ooh-ooh, that′s right
Every step that you take Could be your biggest mistake It could bend or it could break That′s the risk that you take
What if you should decide That you don′t want me there by your side That you don′t want me there in your life
Ooh ooh-ooh, that′s right Let′s take a breath, jump over the side Ooh ooh-ooh, that′s right How can you know when you don′t even try Ooh ooh-ooh, that′s right
Ohhh - Ooh ooh-ooh, that′s right, Let′s take a breath, jump over the side. Ooh ooh-ooh, that′s right, You know that darkness always turns into light. Ooh-ooh, that′s right
If I lost a map If I lost it all I fell into the trap Then she goes
When you′re tired of waiting so you just Find that you never had to stop Come on baby, don’t let it break your heart
Those heavenly regrets Still on me though Trying to catch a cannonball And so burning tired(Oooh) Through my days are flowing From a shipwreck I heard a call And she said
When you′re tired of aiming your arrows, Still you′ll never hit the mark And even if your aims are shadows Still we never gonna part
Come on baby don′t let it brake your heart Dont let it break your heart
Steal my heart and hold my tongue. I feel my time, my time has come. Let me in, unlock the door. I′ve never felt this way before.
The wheels just keep on turning, The drummer begins to drum, I don′t know which way I′m going, I don′t know which way I′ve come.
Hold my hand inside your hands, I need someone who understands. I need someone, someone who hears, For you, I′ve waited all these years.
For you, I′d wait ′til kingdom come. Until my day, my day is done. And say you′ll come, and set me free, Just say you′ll wait, you′ll wait for me.
In your tears and in your blood, In your fire and in your flood, I hear you laugh, I heard you sing, "I wouldn′t change a single thing."
The wheels just keep on turning, The drummers begin to drum, I don′t know which way I′m going, I don′t know what I′ve become.
For you, I′d wait ′til kingdom come, Until my days, my days are done. Say you′ll come and set me free, Just say you′ll wait, you′ll wait for me. Just say you′ll wait, you′ll wait for me. Just say you′ll wait, you′ll wait for me.
Scared of losing all the time He wrote it in a letter He was a friend of mine He heard you could see your future Inside a glass of water The ripples and the rhymes He asked Will I see heaven in mine?
That is just the way it was Nothing could be better And nothing ever was Oh they say you could see your future, Inside a glass of water With riddles and the rhymes Will I see heaven in mine? Oh Oh Oh
Ah Son, dont ask, Neither how full nor empty is your glass Cling to the mast Spend your whole life living in the past Going nowhere fast
So he wrote it on the wall The hollowest of halos Is no halo at all Televisions said and past In figurines and leaders saying nothing at all And he chimed stars in heaven aligned Oh Oh Oh
Ah Son, dont ask, Neither how full nor empty is your glass Cling to the mast Spend your whole life living in the past Going nowhere fast
[instrumental]
What are we drinking when were done? Glasses of water...
Your weeping... Singing la la lala la la ehh And the night over London, lay So we rode down to the river Where the tombs were stone For the curse is to be broken We′ll go underneath the arches Where the witches aren′t the same There are ghost towns in the ocean The ocean.. Singing la la lala la la ehh And the night over London, lay God is in the houses And God is in my head And all the Cemeteries of London I see God come in my garden But I don′t know what he said For my heart it wasn′t open Not open... Singing la la lala la la ehh And the night over London, lay Singing la la lala la la ehh There′s no light over London today
You cut me down a tree And brought it back to me And that′s what made me see Where I was going wrong You put me on a shelf And kept me for yourself I can only blame myself You can only blame me
And I could write a song A hundred miles long Well, that′s where I belong And you belong with me
And I could write it down Or spread it all around Get lost and then get found Or swallowed in the sea
You put me on a line And hung me out to dry And darling that′s when I Decided to go to see you
You cut me down to size And opened up my eyes Made me realize What I could not see
And I could write a book The one they′ll say that shook The world, and then it took It took it back from me
And I could write it down Or spread it all around Get lost and then get found And you′ll come back to me Not swallowed in the sea
Ooh...
And I could write a song A hundred miles long Well, that′s where I belong And you belong with me
The streets you′re walking on A thousand houses long Well, that′s where I belong And you belong with me
Oh what good is it to live With nothing left to give Forget but not forgive Not loving all you see
Oh the streets you′re walking on A thousand houses long Well that′s where I belong And you belong with me Not swallowed in the sea
You belong with me Not swallowed in the sea Yeah, you belong with me Not swallowed in the sea
Some saw the sun Some saw the smoke Some heard the gun Some bent the bow Sometimes the wire must tense for the note Caught in the fire, say oh We′re about to explode
Carry your world, I′ll carry your world Carry your world, I′ll carry your world
Some far away Some search for gold Some dragon to slay Heaven we hope is just up the road Show me the way, lord because I am about to explode
Carry your world, I′ll carry your world Carry your world, I′ll carry your world Carry your world, and all your hurt
There′s a wild wind blowing, Down the corner of my street Every night there the headlights are glowing
Theres a cold war coming, On the readio I heard Baby it′s a violent world
Oh love don′t let me go Won′t you take me where the streetlights glow I could hear it coming I could hear the sirens sound Now my feet won′t touch the ground
Time came a-creepin′ Oh and time′s a loaded gun Every road is a ray of light It goes o-o-on Time only can lead you on Still it′s such a beautiful night
Oh love don′t let me go Won′t you take me where the streetlights glow I could hear it coming Like a serenade of sound Now my feet won′t touch the ground
Gravity release me, And dont ever hold me down Now my feet won′t touch the ground.
Then we were dying of frustration Saying, "lord lead me not into tentation" But it′s not easy when she turns you on Since they′ve gone If you′d only If you′d only say yes Whether you will is anybody′s guess God only god knows I′m trying my best But I′m just so tired of this loneliness So up they picked me by the big toe I was held from the rooftop then they let go If there′s any screaming let the windows down As I crawl to the ground If you′d only If you′d only say yes Whether you will is anybody′s guess God only god knows she won′t let me rest But i′m just so tired of this loneliness I′ve become so tired of this loneliness
My song is love Love to the loveless shown And it goes up You don′t have to be alone Your heavy heart Is made of stone And it′s so hard to see you clearly You don′t have to be on your own You don′t have to be on your own
And I′m not gonna take it back And I′m not gonna say I don′t mean that You′re the target that I′m aiming at Got to get that message home
My song is love My song is love, unknown But I′m on fire for you, clearly You don′t have to be alone You don′t have to be on your own
And I′m not gonna take it back And I′m not gonna say I don′t mean that You′re the target that I′m aiming at And I′m nothing on my own Got to get that message home
And I′m not gonna stand and wait Not gonna leave it until it′s much too late On a platform I′m gonna stand and say That I′m nothing on my own And I love you, please come home
My song is love, is love unknown And I′ve got to get that message home
They were sitting They were talking under strawberry swing Everybody was for fighting Wouldn′t wanna waste a thing Cold, cold water bring me round Now my feet won′t touch the ground Cold, cold water what ya say? When it′s such... It′s such a perfect day It′s such a perfect day I remember We were walking up to strawberry swing I can′t wait until the morning Wouldn′t wanna change a thing People moving all the time Inside a perfectly straight line Don′t you wanna curve away? When it′s such... It′s such a perfect day It′s such a perfect day Now the sky could be blue I don′t mind Without you it′s a waste of time Could be blue I don′t mind Without you it′s a waste of time Could be blue, could be grey without you I′m just miles away could be blue I don′t mind Without you it′s a waste of time
So come over, just be patient, and don′t worry. And don′t worry. No I don′t wanna battle from beginning to end; I don′t wanna cycle, recycle revenge; I don′t wanna follow death and all his friends. No I don′t wanna battle from beginning to end; I don′t wanna cycle, recycle revenge; I don′t wanna follow death and all of his friends.
Just because I′m losing Doesn′t mean I′m lost Doesn′t mean I′ll stop Doesn′t mean I will cross
Just because I′m hurting Doesn′t mean I′m hurt Doesn′t mean I didn′t get what I deserve No better and no worse
I just got lost Every river that I′ve tried to cross And every door I ever tried was locked Ooh-Oh, And I′m just waiting till the shine wears off...
You might be a big fish In a little pond Doesn′t mean you′ve won ′Cause along may come A bigger one And you′ll be lost
Every river that you tried to cross Every gun you ever held went off Ooh-Oh, And I′m just waiting till the firing starts Ooh-Oh, And I′m just waiting till the shine wears off Ooh-Oh, And I′m just waiting till the shine wears off Ooh-Oh, And I′m just waiting till the shine wears off…
How long before I get in Before it starts, before I begin How long before you decide Before I know what it feels like Where to? Where do I go? If you′ve never tried then you′ll never know How long do I have to climb Up on the side of this mountain of mine
Look up, I look up at night Planets are moving at the speed of light Climb up, up in the trees Every chance that you get Is a chance you seize How long am I gonna can stand With my head stuck under the sand I start before I can stop Before I see thing the right way up
All that noise, all that sound All those places that i have found And birds go flying at the speed of sound To show how it all began Birds came flying from the underground If you could see it then you′d understand
Ideas that you′ll never find Or the inventors could never design The buildings that you put up Japan and China... all lit up The sign that I couldn′t read Or the light that I couldn′t see Some things you have to believe But others are puzzles, puzzling me
All that noise, all that sound All those places that i have found And birds go flying at the speed of sound To show how it all began Birds came flying from the underground If you could see it then you′d understand
All those signs I knew what they meant Something you can′t invent Some get made, and some get sent Ooh Words go flying at the speed of sound To show how it all began Birds came flying from the underground If you could see it then you′d understand Oh, when you see it then you′ll understand
You′re in control, is there anywhere you wanna go? You′re in control, is there anything you wanna know? The future′s for discovering The space in which we′re travelling From the top of the first page To the end of the last day From the start in your own way You just want somebody listening to what you say It doesn′t matter who you are It doesn′t matter who you are
Under the surface trying to break through Deciphering the codes in you I need a compass, draw me a map I′m on the top, I can′t get back
Whoa whoa
The first line on the first page To the end of the last page From the start in your own way You just want somebody listening to what you say It doesn′t matter who you are It doesn′t matter who you are
You just want Somebody listening to what you say Oh, you just want somebody listening to what you say It doesn′t matter who you are It doesn′t matter who you are
Is there anybody out there who Is lost and hurt and lonely too Are they bleeding all your colours into one? and if you come undone As if you′ve been run through Some catapult it fired you You wonder if your chance will ever come Or if you′re stuck in square one
Oh brother I can′t, I can′t get through I′ve been trying hard to reach you, cause I don′t know what to do Oh brother I can′t believe it′s true I′m so scared about the future and I wanna talk to you Oh I wanna talk to you You can take a picture of something you see In the future where will I be? You can climb a ladder up to the sun Or write a song nobody has sung Or do something that′s never been done
Are you lost or incomplete? Do you feel like a puzzle, you can′t find your missing piece? Tell me how do you feel? Well I feel like they′re talking in a language I don′t speak And they′re talking it to me
So you take a picture of something you see In the future where will I be? You can climb a ladder up to the sun Or a write a song nobody has sung Or do something that′s never been done Do something that′s never been done
So you don′t know were you′re going, and you wanna talk And you feel like you′re going where you′ve been before You tell anyone who′ll listen but you feel ignored Nothing′s really making any sense at all Let′s talk, let′s ta-a-alk Let′s talk, let′s ta-a-alk
You see the world in black and white No colour or light You think you′ll never get it right But you′re wrong. You might.
The sky could fall, could fall on me The parting of the sea But you mean more, mean more to me Than any colour I can see
All you ever wanted was love, But you never looked hard enough, It′s never gonna give itself up
All you ever wanted to be Living in perfect symmetry, Nothing is as down or as up as us
You see the world in black and white Not painted right You see no meaning to your life You should try You should try
All you ever wanted was love, But you never looked hard enough, It′s never gonna give itself up
All you ever wanted to be, Living in perfect symmetry, Nothing is as down or as up
Don′t you want to see it come soon, Floating in a big white balloon Come give her your own silver spoon
Don′t you want to see it come down? There for throwing your arms around And say "You′re not a moment too soon."
Cause I feel loved, cause I feel loved ooooh... Yeah I feel loved oh no...oooh Cause I feel loved, cause I feel loved oh... Yet I feel loved oh no...oooh
Then there was rain The sky wore a veil of gold and green At night it was the bright of the moon with me Time is just floating away
Then there was rain The sound foundations are crumbling Through the ground comes a bit of a-tumbling And time was just floating away We can watch it and stay And we can listen
Oh rainy day, come ′round Sometimes I just want it to slow down And we′re separated now, I′m down But I love when you come over to the house I love it when you come ′round to my house
Then there was rain I spent the night with the Queen of Spain
And the hardest part Was letting go, not taking part Was the hardest part
And the strangest thing Was waiting for that bell to ring It was the strangest start
I could feel it go down Bittersweet, I could taste in my mouth Silver lining the cloud Oh and I I wish that I could work it out
And the hardest part Was letting go, not taking part You really broke my heart
And I tried to sing But I couldn′t think of anything And that was the hardest part
I could feel it go down You left the sweetest taste in my mouth You′re a silver lining the clouds Oh and I Oh and I I wonder what it′s all about I wonder what it′s all about
Everything I know is wrong Everything I do, it′s just comes undone And everything is torn apart
Oh and it′s the part That′s the hardest part Yeah that′s the hardest part That′s the hardest part
I stole a key Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet I took a car downtown and took what they offered me To set me free
I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene I saw the lights go down and they′re standing in front of me
My scarecrow dreams When they smashed my heart into smithereens I be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete Be the cartoon heart
Light a fire, light a spark Light a fire, a flame in my heartWe′ll run wild oh We′ll be glowing in the dark Glowing in the dark
All the boys, all the girls All the madness in the world All the boys, all the girls All the madness that occurs All the highs, all the lows As the room is spinning, oh
Lights go out and I can′t be saved Tides that I tried to swim against Put me down upon my knees Oh I beg, I beg and plead Singing come out of things unsaid Shoot an apple off my head And trouble that can′t be named Tigers waiting to be tamed
Singing you are... You are...
Confusion that never stops Closing walls and ticking clocks Gonna come back and take you home I could not stop but you now know Singing come out upon my seas Curse missed opportunities Am I a part of the cure Or am I part of the disease
Singing you are... You are... You are... You are...
I turn the music up, I got my records on I shut the world outside until the lights come on Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone I feel my heart start beating to my favourite song
And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night Until monday morning feels another life I turn the music up I′m on a roll this time And heaven is in sight
I turn the music up, I got my records on From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song Don′t want to see another generation drop I′d rather be a comma than a full stop
Maybe I′m in the black, maybe I′m on my knees Maybe I′m in the gap between the two trapezes But my heart is beating and my pulses start Cathedrals in my heart
And we saw oh this light I swear you, emerge blinkng into To tell me it′s alright As we soar walls, every siren is a symphony And every tear′s a waterfall Is a waterfall Oh Is a waterfall Oh oh oh Is a is a waterfall And every tear Is a waterfall Oh oh oh
So you can hurt, hurt me bad But still I′ll raise the flag
Oh It was a wa wa wa wa wa -aterfall A wa wa wa wa wa-aterfall
Every tear Every tear Every teardrop is a waterfall
Every tear Every tear Every teardrop is a waterfall
And since I fell, For that spell, I am living there as well (Oh). Time is short And I′m sure, There must be something more... Those who are dead, Are not dead, They′re just living in my head (Oh). And since I fell, For that spell, I am living there as well. Time is so short, And I′m sure, There must be something more... Oh... You thought you might be a ghost, You thought you might be a ghost, You didn′t get to heaven But you made it close, You didn′t get to heaven But you made it close, You thought you might be a ghost, You thought you might be a ghost, You didn′t get to heaven But you made it close, You didn′t get to heaven but you (Oh Oh...) Oh, Oh Those who are dead, Are not dead, They′re just living in my head.
When you try your best, but you don′t succeed When you get what you want, but not what you need When you feel so tired, but you can′t sleep Stuck in reverse When the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can′t replace When you love someone, but it goes to waste Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you
High up above or down below When you too in love to let it go If you never try you′ll never know Just watch and learn
Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you
Come up to meet you, tell you I′m sorry You don′t know how lovely you are I had to find you, tell you I need you Tell you I set you apart Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions Oh lets go back to the start Running in circles, coming in tails Heads on a science apart
Nobody said it was easy Oh it′s such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said that it would be this hard Oh take me back to the start
I was just guessing at numbers and figures Pulling the puzzles apart Questions of science, science and progress Do not speak as loud as my heart Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me Oh when I rush to the start Running in circles, chasing our tails Coming back as we are
Nobody said it was easy Oh it′s such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be so hard I′m going back to the start
I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sweep alone Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy′s eyes Listen as the crowd would sing: "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can′t explain Once you go there was never, never an honest word That was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in. Shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn′t believe what I′d become
Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate Just a puppet on a lonely string Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can′t explain I know Saint Peter won′t call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world
Ooooo ooooo ooooo oooooo ooooo (Repeat with chorus)
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can′t explain I know Saint Peter won′t call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
Look at the stars; look how they shine for you And everything you do Yeah, they were all yellow
I came along; I wrote a song for you And all the things you do And it was called yellow
So then I took my turn Oh what a thing to have done And it was all yellow
Your skin, oh yeah your skin and bones Turn into something beautiful D′you know? You know I love you so You know I love you so
I swam across; I jumped across for you Oh what a thing to do ′Cos you were all yellow
I drew a line; I drew a line for you Oh what a thing to do And it was all yellow
And your skin, oh yeah your skin and bones Turn into something beautiful D′you know? For you I bleed myself dry For you I bleed myself dry
It′s true Look how they shine for you Look how they shine for you Look how they shine for… Look how they shine for you Look how they shine for you Look how they shine
Look at the stars Look how they shine for you And all the things that you do
