Oh these feet carry me far. Oh my body. Oh so tired. Mouth is dry. Hardly speak. Holy Spirit rise in me. Here I swear, forever is just a minute to me. I′ll take everything in this life. I′ll join everyone when I die. Have my body. Have my mind. Have my coat. Take my time. These I borrow. Borrow so far. Turn to dust. Fall apart. Here I swear, forever is just a minute to me. I′ll take everything in this life. I′ll join everyone and understand. ′Cause all men die. ′Cause all men die. I′ll take everything in this life I′ll join everyone since I′m gonna die I′ll take everything in this life I′ll join everyone ′cause all men die
Is it a warning? Is it an evil sign? Is it a people who have lost their mind? Is it the Darkness? Is it a man resigned? Is it a best friend leaving you behind? Is it ever gonna stop? Will they ever let you go? You′re in a rush, they don′t care enough ′cause their lives are very slow. Time is ticking on. You don′t get a second shot, And when you sell your soul for a leading role, will The Lost Souls be forgot? And if I can′t hear the music and the audience is gone, I′ll dance here on my own. And I hope the Lonely Hearts′ Club Band will play out one last song, Before the sun goes down. And is it envy? Should it really make you sick? Is now the time that you realise you′d better get out quick? ′Cause time is ticking on too long to fake your smile, But then you sold your soul for a leading role, so wear it for a while. And if I can′t hear the music and the audience is gone, I′ll dance here on my own. And I hope the Lonely Hearts′ Club Band will play out one last song, Before the sun goes down, And there she goes. And there she goes. So run, Yoshimi, run. ′Cause Billy′s got himself a gun, And you′re right to be afraid: they′ll send you to your grave ′Cause you′re strange and new. So run, Yoshimi, run. ′Cause Billy′s got himself a gun, And you′re right to be afraid: they′ll send you to your grave ′Cause you′re strange and new. And if I can′t hear the music and the audience is gone, I′ll dance
I′m on a bus. I′m in a rush. I would catch a cab, but I′m not that fussed. Another day. Another dime. I know some might say, that I′m wasting time. And then at night, another fight, And I don′t know what it means but I′d never cause a scene.
I′m gonna make today sugar-coated. I′m gonna get so high I′m lying here on the floor. It′s time these shoes of mine were fully loaded. It′s time to sit back and smile. I′ve had a smoke and it′s been a while. It′s been a while.
Hello dawn. It′s good to be. Did I pay for the girl lying next to me? I had a love, but little luck. I don′t bleed any more ′cause my heart′s been crushed. And now I′m free - lucky me. Yeah my girlfriend was a bore, she don′t love me anymore.
I′m gonna make today sugar-coated. I′m gonna get so high I′m lying here on the floor. It′s time these shoes of mine were fully loaded. It′s time to sit back and smile. I′ve had a smoke and it′s been a while. It′s been a while.
A little hush. A little rush. I guess now we′ll see, if I′m big enough. Finally it′s only me. Things will never be the same. There′s no living life again.
I′m gonna make today sugar-coated. I′m gonna get so high I′m lying here on the floor. It′s time these shoes of mine were fully loaded. It′s time to sit back and smile. I′ve had a smoke and it′s been a while. It′s been a while.
If there′s any justice in the world, I would be your man, You would be my girl, If I′d found you first you know its true, He would be alone, I would be with you.
When you decide, don′t let me down, Coz there′s nothing to be certain in my life, And you′ve seen a thousand times There′s not much justice in the world
If there′s any justice in your heart, You love really changed, Ease it into heart, Why don′t you remember how it feels, Not to give a damn, For anyone but me
I cant believe you′d be decieved, Changing memories from truth to fantasy, Where there′s nothing left but tears, there′s not much justice in the world
Just because he′s wrapped around your finger, Don′t fool yourself with dreams that might appear, Everytime you′ll stop and trust your feelings, The truth is out there somewhere It′s just blowing in the wind
If there′s any justice in the world, I would be your man, You would be my girl,
If I′d found you first you know its true, He would be alone, I would be with you,
When you decide, don′t let me down, Coz there′s nothing to be certain in my life, And you′ve seen a thousand times There′s not much justice in the world
If I should lose you girl you know, That there′s not much justice in the world
Too many voices Too many noises Invisible wires keeping us apart So many choices Some disappointments And they only steal me away from you Climb into our private bubble Let′s get into all kinds of trouble
[Chorus] Slide over here let your hands feel the way There′s no better method to communicate So girl stop your talking Words just get in the way I′ll be your man
So baby come over From the end of the sofa I′ll be your man I′ll be your man
So many faces Staring at their shoelaces When all anyone want is to be seen Well tonight let′s be honest We all want to be wanted And darlin′ you′ve got me wantin′ you Everything that I′m trying to say Just sounds like a worn out cliche, so...
[Chorus]
What are we all looking for? Someone we just can′t ignore It′s real love dripping from my heart, You′ve got me tripping What are we all looking for? Ooooooh....
My life is brilliant. My love is pure. I saw an angel. Of that I′m sure. She smiled at me on the subway. She was with another man. But I won′t lose no sleep on that, ′Cause I′ve got a plan.
You′re beautiful. You′re beautiful. You′re beautiful, it′s true. I saw your face in a crowded place, And I don′t know what to do, ′Cause I′ll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye, As we walked on by. She could see from my face that I was, Fucking high, And I don′t think that I′ll see her again, But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You′re beautiful. You′re beautiful. You′re beautiful, it′s true. I saw your face in a crowded place, And I don′t know what to do, ′Cause I′ll never be with you. You′re beautiful. You′re beautiful. You′re beautiful, it′s true. There must be an angel with a smile on her face, When she thought up that I should be with you. But it′s time to face the truth, I will never be with you.
Tell me the wars you′re fighting Behind the smile you′re hiding All the things I know you want to say
We tried our best to find us But there are no lights to guide us I can′t sleep beside a stranger now
Piece by piece we fall apart With every beat slows down my heart
[Chorus] So I′ll just say what you won′t say and I′ll take the blame if it is for your sake No turning back on what you can′t save
So far gone Yeah, we′re so far gone
I′ve tried hard to remember This prison cell used to be a shelter Now we′re just looking for the best way out I can′t fight you anymore You′re already one foot out the door
[Chorus] So I′ll just say what you won′t say and I′ll take the blame if it is for your sake No turning back on what you can′t save
So far gone, yeah we′re so far gone
And this is the face of letting go And these are things we already know
So I′ll say what you won′t say and I′ll take the blame if it is for your sake No turning back on what you can′t save
so far gone we′re so far gone
So I′ll say what you won′t say and I′ll take the blame if it is for your sake No turning back on what you can′t save
So far gone, yes we′re so far gone yes we′re so far gone So I′ll just what you won′t say
You don′t like it in the shadows but you won′t let me shine a light I would wash away your troubles But it seems The more that I hold on The more that you let go And I know, you better let somebody love you or find yourself, on your own
Tell me why all the best laid plans fall apart in your hands And my good intentions never end, the way I meant
If we don′t talk about the future Then should I just, follow you into the dark Yeah, and does your silence keep you cold While the cracks form on my heart
Tell me why all the best laid plans fall apart in your hands And my good intentions never end, the way I meant
It seems to me some fine friends have watched you turn your back It seems you only want the things that you can′t have.
Tell me why all the best laid plans fall apart in your hands And my good intentions never end, the way I meant
Did he break your heart today? Well, some will say It′s never gonna be easy And did he tell you that he loved you, He′s just not in love with you anymore?
I met a man who saw a ghost Sat down on his bed and he said "Hey, there′s no need to worry, I′ve lived my life from start to end And I′ve seen nothing that makes sense Except being in love."
So, dear, dear Katie What have you done lately? I′ve heard it′s all gone wrong. So, dear, dear Katie This mess you′re in is crazy Remember real love.
Take tea for two An afternoon By the sea Remember how it used to be When we were young and we didn′t care And oh people used to smile We were holding hands in the park The simple things men and woman share, They used to make you smile. Little girl don′t be lonely, You′ll never be lonely
So dear, dear Katie What have you done lately? I′ve heard it′s all gone wrong. So dear, dear Katie This mess you′re in is crazy. Remember real love.
And did he break your heart today Well, do you still feel?
When you wake up Turn the radio on And you′ll hear this simple song
That I made up That I made up for you
When you′re driving Turn the radio up Cause I can′t sing loud enough Hard these days To get my message through
If time is all I have I′ll waste it all on you
Each day I′ll turn it back It′s what the broken-hearted do I′m tired of talking to an empty space Of silences keeping me awake
When you marry And you look around I′ll be somewhere in that crowd Torn up, that it isn′t me
When you′re older The memories fade But I know I′ll still feel the same For as long as I live
But if time is all I have I′ll waste it all on you
Each day I′ll turn it back It′s what the broken-hearted do I′m tired of talking to an empty space Of silences keeping me awake
Won′t you say my name, one time Please just say my name
But if time is all I have I′ll waste it all on you Each day I′ll turn it back It′s what the broken-hearted do I′m tired of talking to an empty space Of silences keeping me awake
If time is all I have I′ll waste it all on you
Each day I′ll turn it back It′s what the broken-hearted do I′m tired of talking to an empty space Of silences keeping me awake
Well you can stand there waiting for a rainy day Close up your heart and hide your dancing shoes away And cut yourself with your mistakes Leave all hope lying in a line of chalk Everything you need is disguised in double talk So wound yourself and let it ache
But if you′re waiting for something to bring you round
[Chorus] I′m calling out, I′m calling out your name Lift your head up high I′m calling out, I′m calling out your name Lift your head up high
It′s all little pieces till there′s nothing left All just debris of your former self Just take a breath for your own sake And if you′re waiting for something to bring you round
[Chorus]
And are you caught between the lines Did no one see you fall behind
Tender was my lover from the suburbs of town We were sweethearts from college she was always around We were good for each other but some things they just don′t work out
There were tears in my eyes when she walked away We had plans to get married some day But the promises were broken before they were even made:
Now I′m dancing with a broken heart Ain′t no doctor who can make it start These are the words that I′ll never gonna say again Because I′ve given till I′ve given up One more casualty of easy love These are the words that I′ll never gonna say again
Tender was my lover, god I miss her embrace And I wonder who it is that puts a smile on her face I recall the way she feels and oh I recall the way she tastes If I could hold her now then all that I′d see′d remind me of childhood memories She was the first day of summer, yeah that girl, that girl′s for me
Now I′m dancing with a broken heart Ain′t no doctor who can make it start These are the words that I′ll never gonna say again Because I′ve given till I′ve given up One more casualty of easy love These are the words that I′ll never gonna say again
And these are the words that I say to your picture These are the words that I say in a dream These are the words that I wish I′d said to you when you were standing here next to me
Because I′ve given till I′ve given up One more casualty of easy love These are the words that I′ll never gonna say again
Oooh now I′m dancing with a broken heart Ain′t no doctor who can make it start These are the words that I′ll never gonna say again
Now I′m dancing with a broken heart Ain′t no doctor who can make it start These are the words that i′ll never gonna say again
I just can′t believe that it′s over. We were chilling out on the sofa, Digging how the guitar goes, In a song that no one knows. Did you lick that line yourself, Or did the voodoo magic help? Does everyone have a different take? Do you seem real but I seem fake? Does everyone get hypnotized by your fire?
So long, Jimmy, so long. Though you only stayed a moment, We all know that you′re the one. Singing, So long, Jimmy, so long. Sure we′re glad for the experience, We miss you now you′ve gone. We′re just swimming in your soul ′cause, We all wish we wrote this song. Life goes on.
I′m just so relieved that it′s over. We were hanging out going nowhere, Digging how the guitar goes, In a song that no one knows. Did you burn that bridge yourself, Or did the voodoo magic help? Does everyone have a different take? Are you just cool and I′m just baked? Does everyone get mesmerized by your fire?
So long, Jimmy, so long. Though you only stayed a moment, We all know that you′re the one. Singing, So long, Jimmy, so long. Sure we′re glad for the experience, We miss you now you′ve gone. We′re just swimming in your soul ′cause, We all wish we wrote this song. Life goes on.
Beautiful dawn - lights up the shore for me. There is nothing else in the world, I′d rather wake up and see (with you). Beautiful dawn - I′m just chasing time again. Thought I would die a lonely man, in endless night. But now I′m high; running wild among all the stars above. Sometimes it′s hard to believe you remember me.
Beautiful dawn - melts with the stars again. Do you remember the day when my journey began? Will you remember the end (of time)? Beautiful dawn - You′re just blowing my mind again. Thought I was born to endless night, until you shine. High; running wild among all the stars above. Sometimes it′s hard to believe you remember me.
Will you be my shoulder when I′m grey and older? Promise me tomorrow starts with you, Getting high; running wild among all the stars above. Sometimes it′s hard to believe you remember me

’cause I love anybody who’s fool enough to believe, and you’re just one of many who broke their heart on me and so I say I don’t love you, though it kills me. It’s a lie that sets you free

This time her mind is made up Yeah, she′s moving on Tonight her spirit′s crushed It′s ′cause she don′t belong
Maybe she thinks too much She thinks she′s given enough Only now they′ll know she′s got a heart of gold Always looking for love She′s beginning to think she′s cursed On her looks she judged By the folks at work
She don′t care for fashion and fame Those kind of people they are all the same One day they′ll know, she′s got a heart of gold
And she sings, I want to know what love is But it seems to come with so much pain If no one wants to show me It seems easier just to run away When I am gone it′s just a penny for my soul
But God he knows, I got a heart of gold Been coming ′round here Since she′s a little girl But now the change is clear We live in a cynical world
She don′t care for fashion and fame, no Those kind of people they are all the same They don′t wanna know, she′s got a heart of gold
And she sings, I want to know what love is But it seems to come with so much pain If no one wants to show me It seems easier just to run away When I am gone it′s just a penny for my soul But God he knows, I got a heart of gold
To see her footsteps in the snow
And she sings, I want to know what love is But it seems to come with so much pain If no one wants to show me It seems easier just to run away When I am gone it′s just a penny for my soul But God he knows, I got a heart of gold
Blood and water carry me, from my childhood to the sea... thought I woke up from a dream, I saw the moonlight smiling down on me. Don′t cut me down, I see sunshine in the moonlight, I can run on, I can hide...
I′m so happy, I′m so happy, moonlight dancer dance with me! I′m so happy, I′m so happy, blood and water carry me!
Should I wake up from this dream? Moonlight dancer lying next to me, I feel like burning in the heat; I would dance but I can′t breathe... Don′t blow me down; I see sunshine in the moonlight, I can run on, I can hide...
I′m so happy, I′m so happy, moonlight dancer dance with me! I′m so happy, I′m so happy, blood and water carry me!
Blood and water carry me, from my childhood to the sea... thought I woke up from the dream: I saw the moonlight smiling down on me. And I said "Don′t cut me down", I see sunshine in the moonlight, I can run on, I can hide...
I′m so happy, I′m so happy, moonlight dancer dance with me! I′m so happy, I′m so happy, blood and water carry me!
I′m so happy, I′m so happy, moonlight dancer dance with me! I′m so happy, I′m so happy, blood and water carry me!
Are they calling for our last dance? I see it in your eyes. In your eyes. Same old moves for a new romance. I could use the same old lies, but I′ll sing, Shine on, just, shine on! Close your eyes and they′ll all be gone. They can scream and shout that they′ve been sold out, But it paid for the cloud that we′re dancing on. So shine on. Just shine on! With your smile just as bright as the sun. ′Cause they′re all just slaves to the gods they made But you and I just shone. Just shone. And when silence greets my last goodbye, The words I need are in your eyes, and I′ll sing. Shine On, just, shine on! Close your eyes and they′ll all be gone. They can scream and shout that they′ve been sold out, But it paid for the cloud that we′re dancing on. So shine on. Just shine on! With your smile just as bright as the sun. ′Cause they′re all just slaves to the gods they made, But you and I just shone. Just shone.
The guilty undertaker sighs, The lonesome organ grinder cries, The silver saxophones say I should refuse you. The cracked bells and washed-out horns Blow into my face with scorn, But it′s not that way, I wasn′t born to lose you.
[Chorus] I want you, I want you, I want you so bad, Honey, I want you.
The drunken politician leaps Upon the street where mothers weep And the saviors who are fast asleep, They wait for you. And I wait for them to interrupt Me drinkin′ from my broken cup And ask me to Open up the gate for you.
[Chorus] I want you, I want you, I want you so bad, Honey, I want you.
Now all my fathers, they′ve gone down True love they′ve been without it. But all their daughters put me down ′Cause I don′t think about it.
Well, I return to the Queen of Spades And talk with my chambermaid. She knows that I′m not afraid To look at her. She is good to me And there′s nothing she doesn′t see. She knows where I′d like to be But it doesn′t matter.
[Chorus] I want you, I want you, I want you so bad, Honey, I want you.
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit, He spoke to me, I took his flute. No, I wasn′t very cute to him, Was I? But I did it, though, because he lied Because he took you for a ride And because time was on his side And because I ...
[Chorus] I want you, I want you, I want you so bad, Honey, I want you.
There are children standing here, Arms outstretched into the sky, Tears drying on their face. He has been here. Brothers lie in shallow graves. Fathers lost without a trace. A nation blind to their disgrace, Since he′s been here.
And I see no bravery, No bravery in your eyes anymore. Only sadness.
Houses burnt beyond repair. The smell of death is in the air. A woman weeping in despair says, He has been here. Tracer lighting up the sky. It′s another families′ turn to die. A child afraid to even cry out says, He has been here.
And I see no bravery, No bravery in your eyes anymore. Only sadness.
There are children standing here, Arms outstretched into the sky, But no one asks the question why, He has been here. Old men kneel to accept their fate. Wives and daughters cut and raped. A generation drenched in hate. Says, he has been here.
And I see no bravery, No bravery in your eyes anymore. Only sadness.
Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep. Walk out the door and up the street; look at the stars beneath my feet. Remember rights that I did wrong, so here I go. Hello, hello. There is no place I cannot go. My mind is muddy but my heart is heavy. Does it show? I lose the track that loses me, so here I go. And so I sent some men to fight, and one came back at dead of night. Said he′d seen my enemy. Said he looked just like me, So I set out to cut myself and here I go. I′m not calling for a second chance, I′m screaming at the top of my voice. Give me reason but don′t give me choice. ′Cause I′ll just make the same mistake again. And maybe someday we will meet, and maybe talk and not just speak. Don′t buy the promises ′cause, there are no promises I keep. And my reflection troubles me, so here I go. I′m not calling for a second chance, I′m screaming at the top of my voice. Give me reason but don′t give me choice. ′Cause I′ll just make the same mistake, I′m not calling for a second chance, I′m screaming at the top of my voice. Give me reason but don′t give me choice. ′Cause I′ll just make the same mistake again. Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep. Walk out the door and up the street; look at the stars. Look at the stars fall down. And wonder where did I go wrong.
The trouble is her only friend and he′s back again. Makes her body older, than it really is. And she says it′s high time she went away, No one′s got much to say in this town. The trouble is the only way is down, Down, down.
As strong as you were, tender you go. I′m watching you′re breathing for the last time. A song for your heart, but when it is quiet, I know what it means and I′ll carry you home. I′ll carry you home.
If she had wings, she would fly away And another day God will give her some... The trouble is the only way is down, Down, down.
As strong as you were, tender you go. I′m watching you′re breathing for the last time. A song for your heart, but when it is quiet, I know what it means and I′ll carry you home. I′ll carry you home.
And they were all born pretty in New York City in light, And someone′s little girl was taken from the world tonight,
Under the Stars and Stripes.
As strong as you were, tender you go. I′m watching you′re breathing for the last time. A song for your heart, but when it is quiet I know what it means and I′ll carry you home
As strong as you were, tender you go. I′m watching you′re breathing for the last time. A song for your heart, but when it is quiet, I know what it means and I′ll carry you home.
I′ll be standing in the corner Just watching her slaughter them See you all go wild I′ve been dipping in my finger Testing out the water See you on the other side
[Chorus] She is dangerous, she is dangerous, I′m sure (woah) And she′s all dressed up and knocking at my door (woah) She is dangerous, she is dangerous, I know (woah) But she′s got my heart and she′s never letting go
I′ll be hanging on your heartache Enough rope for my sake and losing everytime I′ll be wrapped around your finger, let the moment linger See you on the other side
[Chorus]
And we all get a taste for blood tonight Coz we′ve all had a taste of love And we all get a taste for blood tonight For love
She said to me, "Go steady on me. Won′t you tell me what the Wise Men said? When they came down from Heaven, Smoked nine ′til seven, All the shit that they could find, But they couldn′t escape from you, Couldn′t be free of you, And now they know there′s no way out, And they′re really sorry now for what they′ve done, They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun."
Look who′s alone now, It′s not me. It′s not me. Those three Wise Men, They′ve got a semi by the sea. Got to ask yourself the question, Where are you now?
Really sorry now, They weren′t to know. They got caught up in your talent show, With you pernickety little bastards in your fancy dress, Who just judge each other and try to impress, But they couldn′t escape from you, Couldn′t be free of you, And now they know there′s no way out, And they′re really sorry now for what they′ve done, They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun.
Look who′s alone now, It′s not me. It′s not me. Those three Wise Men, They′ve got a semi by the sea. Got to ask yourself the question, Where are you now?
I have been rejected before Trying to get another one to come in through my door She said I like it here But your not gonna score I’m not gonna let you sleep with me anymore
Whoaaa
And here we go again I’m starting on my own 26 years apart for one And I’m standing all alone I’m not that bad In my In my heart
I am guilty And of that I confess I have been thinking of another girl in obsess I am sorry if it causes distress But I never loved you I never loved you
Whoaaa
And here we go again I’m starting on my own 26 years AND HALF OF ONE And I’m standing all alone
Whoaaa
And here we go again I’m starting on my own 26 years AND HALF OF ONE And I’m standing all alone I’m not that bad In my In my heart
You can judge me If you know me so well I can’t change my spots And won’t brake out of my shell They will commit me To a lifetime in hell But I can’t remember where my innocence fell
Whoaaa
And here we go again I’m starting on my own 26 years AND HALF OF ONE And I’m standing all alone Whoaaa And here we go again I’m starting on my own 26 years Apart for one And I’m standing all alone I’m not that bad In my In my heart
I’m not that bad In my In my heart
Whoaaa
And here we go again I’m starting on my own 26 years AND HALF OF ONE And I’m standing all alone Whoaaa And here we go again I’m starting on my own 26 years AND HALF OF ONE I’m standing all alone I’m not that bad In my In my heart
There is an empty space in the chair tonight Cause he don′t feel right There are stormclouds brewing at the back of his mind As he steps outside
He will be twenty in a week But he′s old for his years He′s had many of those To confront his own fears
But his father′s not the man he′d like to grow up to be And his mother isn′t growing old gracefully
He says times like these I don′t want to be a superstar Cause reality tv killed them all in america Oh the sun always shines in a magazine Tonight can we be free to be who we really are
There is an empty space between the lines tonight And it burns so bright And the angry silence that he throws on the floor Says he don′t care anymore
He had money for the truth But love′s a lot more And the answer′s is not the one he was looking for His father′s not the man he′d like to grow up to be And his mother is his mother reluctantly
He says times like these I don′t want to be a superstar Cause reality tv killed them all in america Oh the sun always shines in a magazine Tonight can we be free to be who we really are
He says times like these I don′t want to be a superstar Cause reality tv killed them all in america Oh the sun always shines in a magazine Tonight can we be free to be who we really are
One day your story will be told. One of the lucky ones who′s made his name. One day they′ll make you glorious, Beneath the lights of your deserved fame. And it all comes round. Once in a lifetime like it always does. Everybody loves you ′cause you′ve taken a chance, Out on a dance to the moon, too soon. And they′ll say told you so. We were the ones who saw you first of all. We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars. One day they′ll tell you that you′ve changed, Though they′re the ones who seem to stop and stare. One day you′ll hope to make the grave, Before the papers choose to send you there. And it all comes round. Once in a lifetime like it always does. Nobody loves you ′cause you′ve taken a chance, Out on a dance to the moon, too soon. And they′ll say told you so. We were the ones who saw you first of all. We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars. And they′ll say told you so. We were the ones who saw you first of all. We always knew that you were one of the brightest
Billy′s leaving today (don′t know where he′s going). Holds his head in disgrace (he can′t escape the truth). He knows the price that he′s paid. He admits that it′s too late to admit that he′s afraid. Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate. The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late. Old doors are closed but he′s always open, To relive time in his mind. Oh Billy.
Billy′s leaving today (don′t know where he′s going). He′s got lines on his face (they tell the story of his pain). He accepts it′s his fate. He admits it took too long to admit that he was wrong. Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate. The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late. Old doors are closed but he′s always open, To relive time in his mind. Oh Billy.
Once he was a lover sleeping with another. Now he′s just known as a cheat. And he wish he′d had a mirror; looked a little clearer. Seen into the eyes of the weak. Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate. The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late. Old doors are closed but he′s always open, To relive time in his mind. Oh Billy.
Many prophets preach on bended knee. Many clerics wasted wine. Do the bloodied sheets on those cobbled streets mean I have wasted time? Are there silver shores on paradise? Can I come in from the cold? I killed a man in a far away land, my enemy I′m told. I really want you to really want me, but I really don′t know if you can do that. I know you want to know what′s right but I know it′s so hard for you to do that. And time′s running out as often it does, and often dictates that you can′t do that. But fate can′t break this feeling inside that′s burning up through my veins. I really want you. I really want you. I really want you - now. No matter what I say or do, the message isn′t getting through, And you′re listening to the sound of my breaking heart. I really want you. I really want you. Is a poor man rich in solitude, or will Mother Earth complain? Did the beggar pray for a sunny day, but Lady Luck for rain? They say a million people bow and scrape to an effigy of gold. I saw life begin and the ship we′re in and history unfold. I really want you to really want me but I really don′t know if you can do that. I know you want to know what′s right but I know it′s so hard for you to do that. And time′s running out as often it does and often dictates that you can′t do that. But fate can′t break this feeling inside that′s burning up through my veins. I really want you. I really want you. I really want you - now. No matter what I say or do, the message isn′t getting through, And you′re listening to the sound of my breaking heart. No matter what I say or do, the message isn′t getting through, And you′re listening to the sound of my breaking heart.
I have seen peace, I have seen pain, Resting on the shoulders of your name. Do you see the truth through all their lies? Do you see the world through troubled eyes?
And if you want to... talk about it anymore, Lie here on the floor and cry... on my shoulder, I′m a friend.
I have seen birth, I have seen death. Lived to see a lover′s final breath. Do you see my guilt? Should I feel fright? Is the fire of hesitation burning bright?
And if you want to... talk about it once again, On you I depend. I′ll cry... on your shoulder, You′re a friend.
You and I have lived through many things. I′ll hold on to your heart. I wouldn′t cry for anything, But don′t go tearing your life apart...
I have seen fear, I have seen faith. Seen the look of anger on your face.
And if you want to... talk about what will be, Come and sit with me, And cry... on my shoulder, I′m a friend...
And if you want to... talk about it anymore, Lie here on the floor...
Cry... on my shoulder, Once again... Cry... on my shoulder, I′m a friend...
It’s 72 degrees Zero chance of rain It’s been a perfect day We’re all spinning on our heels So far away from real In California
We watched the sunset from our car We all took it in And by the time that it was dark You and me had something, yeah!
And if this is what we’ve got Then what we’ve got is gold We’re shining bright and I want you I want you to know
The morning’s on it’s way Our friends all say goodbye There’s nowhere else to go I hope that you’ll stay the night Ooooooh, you′ll stay the night Ooooooh, yeah!
We’ve been singing Billie Jean Mixin’ vodka with caffeine We’ve got strangers stopping by And though you’re out of tune Girl you blow my mind, you do And I’ll say as I don’t wanna say good night
There’s no quiet corner To get to know each other And there’s no hurry I’m a patient man is your discover
Cause if this is what we’ve got Then what we’ve got is gold We’re shining bright and I want you I want you to know
The morning’s on it’s way Our friends all say goodbye There’s nowhere else to go I hope that you’ll stay the night Ooooooh, you′ll stay the night Ooooooh, yeah!
Just like the song on our radio set We’ll share the shelter of my single bed But it’s a different tune that’s stuck in my head And it goes...
If this is what we’ve got Then what we’ve got is gold We’re shining bright and I want you I want you to know
The morning’s on it’s way Our friends all say goodbye There’s nowhere else to go I hope that you’ll stay the night
If this is what we’ve got Then what we’ve got is gold We’re shining bright and I want you I want you to know
The morning’s on it’s way Our friends all say goodbye There’s nowhere else to go I hope that you’ll stay the night
Annie, you had your name in the bright lights. I thought I saw your photograph having such a laugh in a magazine, Did it all come tumbling? Annie, you were made for the big time. They said you′re a star to be in the NME, But the walls came tumbling down, down. Will you go down on me? ′Cause Annie you′re a star, that′s just not going very far. And all the world will know your name, And you′ll be famous as you are ′cause I′ll sing for you. Annie, would it be nice to be recognised? And did you practise your autograph but now no one′s asked and it′s such a shame, That the dreams are crumbling? Annie, why aren′t you bathed in the limelight? ′Cause I thought that you said you′d be a celebrity several years ago. Did it all come tumbling down, down. Will you go down on me? ′Cause Annie you′re a star, that′s just not going very far. And all the world will know your name, And you′ll be famous as you are ′cause I′ll sing for you.
Don′t I know it? Nobody has to say I′ve been lucky. Guess I was born that way. I thank my father, his absence has made me strong. And I love my mother but she had troubles with God.
[CHORUS:] No tears for the life that you′ve led You′ve had angels in your head Did you hear them singing in the end All the things that you′ve seen All the things that could have been Well I′ve been everything I want to be So, no tears, no tears for me
Yeah, I′ve bathed in sunshine but cherished the fading light And I heard my heartbeat faulter on a winter′s night I loved a woman but she didn′t hear my prayers So Lord, oh Lord, I′m yours No tears
[CHORUS]
Cause someone somewhere′s going home tonight Trying to understand the sacrifice So save your tears for those left behind
How I wish I could surrender my soul; Shed the clothes that become my skin; See the liar that burns within my needing. How I wish I′d chosen darkness from cold. How I wish I had screamed out loud, Instead I′ve found no meaning.
I guess it′s time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain, All pleasure′s the same: it just keeps me from trouble. Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray. I′ve heard what they say, but I′m not here for trouble. It′s more than just words: it′s just tears and rain.
How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind; Hold memory close at hand, Help me understand the years. How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell. How I wish I would save my soul. I′m so cold from fear.
I guess it′s time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain, All pleasure′s the same: it just keeps me from trouble. Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray. I′ve heard what they say, but I′m not here for trouble. Far, far away; find comfort in pain. All pleasure′s the same: it just keeps me from trouble. It′s more than just words: it′s just tears and rain.
Me and my guitar play my way. It makes them frown. But little pieces by the highway bring me down. Mine is not a heart of stone, I am only skin and bone, And those little pieces are little pieces of my own.
Why don′t you give me some love? I′ve taken ship-load of drugs. I′m so tired of never fixing the pain. Valium said to me, I′ll take you seriously, And we′ll come back as someone else, Who′s better than yourself.
Many faces at the doorway all hang round. Watch me fighting in the hallway but make no sound. So I′m standing all alone, and I′m only skin and bone. So many faces but they all look out for their own.
Why don′t you give me some love? I′ve taken ship-load of drugs. I′m so tired of never fixing the pain. Valium said to me, I′ll take you seriously, And we′ll come back as someone else, Who′s better than yourself.
And some day soon they′ll drop the bomb and let it all out. Someday. I know that someday soon we′ll all be gone so let it all out. Let it all out today. And give me some love, Yeah, give me some love, Come on, give me some love today.
Judging by the look on the organ-grinder, He′ll judge me by the fact that my face don′t fit. It′s touching that the monkey sits on my shoulder. He′s waiting for the day when he gets me, But I don′t need no alibi - I′m a puppet on a string. I just need this stage to be seen. We all need a pantomime to remind us what is real. Hold my eye and know what it means.
I′m out of my mind.
Judging by the look on the organ-grinder, He′ll judge me by the fact that my face don′t fit. It′s touching that the monkey sits on my shoulder. He′s waiting for the day when he gets me, But I won′t be your concubine - I′m a puppet not a whore. I just need this stage to be seen. Will you be a friend of mine to remind me what is real? Hold my heart and see that it bleeds.
Did I disappoint you or let you down? Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown? ′Cause I saw the end before we′d begun, Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won. So I took what′s mine by eternal right. Took your soul out into the night. It may be over but it won′t stop there, I am here for you if you′d only care. You touched my heart you touched my soul. You changed my life and all my goals. And love is blind and that I knew when, My heart was blinded by you. I′ve kissed your lips and held your head. Shared your dreams and shared your bed. I know you well, I know your smell. I′ve been addicted to you.
Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me.(x2)
I am a dreamer but when I wake, You can′t break my spirit - it′s my dreams you take. And as you move on, remember me, Remember us and all we used to be I′ve seen you cry, I′ve seen you smile. I′ve watched you sleeping for a while. I′d be the father of your child. I′d spend a lifetime with you. I know your fears and you know mine. We′ve had our doubts but now we′re fine, And I love you, I swear that′s true. I cannot live without you.
Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me.(x2)
And I still hold your hand in mine. In mine when I′m asleep. And I will bear my soul in time, When I′m kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me.(x2)
I′m so hollow, baby, I′m so hollow. I′m so, I′m so, I′m so hollow.(x2)
