Oh, we’re talking We always find a reason to meet And when we’re talking All the things are not what they seem
‘cos all we have are years and seconds And that is how we spend our lives i reckon We’re building bridges and we’re burning them down We’re coming back and back and spinning around
Oh, we’re talking All our words are shields and swords And when we’re talking It feels the best when we say nothing at all
‘cos all we have are years and seconds And that is how we spend our lives i reckon We’re building bridges and we’re burning them down we’re coming back and back and spinning around
We always find a reason to meet ‘cos all we have are years and seconds And that is how we spend our lives i reckon We’re building bridges and we’re burning them down
We’re coming back and back and spinning around ‘cos all we have are years and seconds And that is how we spend our lives i reckon We’re building bridges and we’re burning them down We’re coming back and back and spinning around
That’s all we have That’s all we have That’s all we have
And when we’re talking That’s all we have That’s all we have That’s all we have That’s all we have
And when we’re talking That’s all we have That’s all we have That’s all we have
400 years (400 years, 400 years. Wo-o-o-o) And it′s the same - The same (wo-o-o-o) philosophy I′ve said it′s four hundred years; (400 years, 400 years. Wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o) Look, how long (wo-o-o-o) And the people they (wo-o-o-o) still can′t see. Why do they fight against the poor youth of today? And without these youths, they would be gone - All gone astray
Come on, let′s make a move: (make a move, make a move. Wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o) I can (wo-o-o-o) see time (wo-o-o-o) - time has come, And if-a fools don′t see (fools don′t see, fools don′t see. Wo-o-o-o) I can′t save the youth: The youth (wo-o-o-o) is gonna be strong. So, won′t you come with me; I′ll take you to a land of liberty Where we can live - live a good, good life And be free.
Look how long: 400 years, (400 years, 400 years) - Way too long! (wo-o-o-o) That′s the reason my people (wo-o-o-o) - my people can′t see. Said, it′s four hundred long years - (400 years, 400 years. Wo-o-o-o) Give me patience (wo-o-o-o) - same philosophy.
It′s been 400 years, (400 years, 400 years) Wait so long! Wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o. How long? 400 long, long years.
You think you′re denying me of something well, I′ve got plenty you′re the one who′s missing out but you won′t notice until after five years if you′ll live that long you′ll wake up all love - less
I dare you to take me on I dare you to dhow me your palms I′m so bored of cowards who say what they want then they can′t handle can′t handle love
I dare you to take me on I dare you to show me your palms what′s so scary ? not a threat in sight you can′t handle, you can′t handle love
Funny feeling my guts intuition doesn′t know No bravery could convince you To more or less say no Your explanation hasn′t gone over yet But I′ll give you one more chance To open up and just let go There′s no easier way out of this place I′m claiming this lie to you face to face to face to That′s no way for you to treat me my dear Someone you chose to lie to all these years There is no other title that I can find for us Even though you can believe that this could Work and bleed and breathe and be for us Your interpretation of my expectations Caught up in your picture frame Have defined my eyes and made me turn up down and inside There′s no easier way out of this place I′m claiming this lie to you face to face to face to That′s no way for you to treat me my dear Someone you chose to lie to all these years It′s gonna take a lot to get you to completely Forgive me for letting you down I′m not exactly what I really was back then Played along for so long Then you saw what I really was I was wrong for so long What do I do with my other type of slum life So on to you delight For the rest of the night I′m yours Whatever you want From every pore I give you my life
Outside the gates of heaven Oh, there lives a unicorn I close my eyes to seven Oh, this world is not my home A broken heart in danger And a pillow filled with tears Oh, can you see the strangers ? In the pain and in the fears Can you feel my heart ? Baby don′t give up Can you feel my love tonight ?
In 100 years Love is illegal In 100 years from now In 100 years Love is illegal in this lonely, heartbreak town In 100 years Love is illegal All your dreams will die In 100 years Love is illegal And your hope will not survive
L.O.V.E. Love is illegal in my heart Hear my heart is beating L.O.V.E. Love is illegal in my heart Hear my heart is beating
You′re looking through a fire Computers everywhere Oh, you′re a shotgun rider Controllers here and there And you read old loveletters Drawning in the sea Oh baby it doesn′t matter Oh you′ve lost all what you feel Can you feel my heart ? Baby don′t give up Can you feel my love tonight
It doesn′t matter if we all die Ambition in the back of a black car In a high building there is so much to do Going home time A story on the radio Something small falls out of your mouth And we laugh A prayer for something better A prayer For something better
Please love me Meet my mother But the fear takes hold Creeping up the stairs in the dark
Waiting for the death blow Waiting for the death blow Waiting for the death blow Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot Fighting for freedom on the television Sharing the world with slaughtered pigs Have we got everything? She struggles to get away...
The pain And the creeping feeling A little black haired girl Waiting for Saturday The death of her father pushing her Pushing her white face into the mirror Aching inside me And turn me round Just like the old days Just like the old days Just like the old days Just like the old days
Caressing an old man And painting a lifeless face Just a piece of new meat in a clean room The soldiers close in under a yellow moon All shadows and deliverance Under a black flag A hundred years of blood Crimson The ribbon tightens round my throat I open my mouth And my head bursts open A sound like a tiger thrashing in the water Thrashing in the water Over and over We die one after the other Over and over We die one after the other One after the other One after the other One after the other One after the other
It feels like a hundred years A hundred years A hundred years A hundred years A hundred years One hundred years

There are twenty years to go and twenty ways to know who will wear who will wear the hat
There are twenty years to go the best of all i hope enjoy the ride the medicine show
And thems the breaks for we designer fakes we need to concentrate on more than meets the eye
There are twenty years to go the faithful and the low the best of starts the broken heart,the stone
There are twenty years to go the punch drunk and the blow the worst of starts the mercy part,the phone
And thems the breaks for we designer fakes we need to concentrate on more than meets the eye
Thems the breaks for we designer fakes but iВґs you i take Вґcause youВґre the not i
There are twenty years to go a golden age i know but all will pass will end too fast,you know
There are twenty years to go and many friends i hope though some may hold the rose some hold the rope
and thatВґs the end and thatВґs the start of it thatВґs the whole and thatВґs the part of it thatВґs the high and thatВґs the heart of it thatВґs the long and thatВґs the short of it thatВґs the best and thatВґs the test in it thatВґs the doubt,the doubt,the trust in it thatВґs the sight and thatВґs the sound of it thatВґs the gift and thatВґs the trick in it
There′s a shadow hanging over And a ringing in your mind Waiting for an answer still stuck in time Couldn′t leave the dark behind In the mirror Getting clearer The sound of the future The weight of the years An echoed warning Can′t happen here Do you believe it′s almost summer Everything is so alive There′s no limit where the road hits the sky Get in the car and drive It can′t happen here Rearranging the horizon Changing circles into lines Looking everywhere for some new paradise The past is all you find
Time ain′t nothing but time It′s a verse with no rhyme Man, it all comes down to you
Change ain′t nothing but change Just the faces and the names But you know we′re gonna make it through
I′ll believe When you don′t believe in anything
[Chorus:] I′m gonna hold you ′til your hurt is gone Be the shoulder that you′re leaning on I′ll be standing here For the next 100 years If it all should end tonight I′ll know it was worth the fight And we′ll be standing here For the next 100 years
I, when I think that I′m losing my mind It all comes back to you
And you, you know that it′s true After all we′ve been through There′s nothing that I wouldn′t do
Stand by me And I would gladly give up everything
[Chorus:] I′m gonna hold you ′til your hurt is gone Be the shoulder that you′re leaning on I′ll be standing here For the next 100 years If it all should end tonight I′ll know it was worth the fight And we′ll be standing here For the next 100 years
I′m gonna hold you ′til your hurt is gone Be the shoulder that you′re leaning on I′ll be standing here For the next 100 years If it all should end tonight I′ll know it was worth the fight And we′ll be standing here For the next 100 years
I′ve used hammers made out of wood. I have played games with pieces and rules. I undeciphered tricks at the bar, but now you′re gone. I haven′t figured out why. I′ve come up with riddles and jokes about war. I figured out numbers and what they′re for. I′ve understood feelings and i′ve understood words but how could you be taken away?
And wherever you′ve gone and wherever we might go. It don′t seem fair. today just disappeared. Your light reflected now. reflected from afar. We were but stones. your light made of stars.
With heavy breath awakened regrets. Back pages and days that could have been spent together but we were miles apart. Every inch between us becomes light years now. No time to be void or save up on life. Oh, you got to spend it all.
And wherever you′ve gone and wherever we might go. It don′t seem fair. you seam to like it here. Your light reflected now. reflected from afar. We were but stones. your light made of stars.
And wherever you′ve gone and wherever we might go. It don′t seem fair. today just disappeared. Your lights reflected now. reflected from afar. We were by stones. your light made of stars.
Ten years ago, I got a call that nearly killed me, Repeat yourself my hands are shaking, When i was told, My friend was gone, I felt so guilty, A thousand questions left unanswered.
I′ll bleed if you want me to, I′ll serenade before i do, I′ll bleed if you want me to.
On and on although you′re gone Candles burn without a flame on Our final call to you i know you′re listening How could you leave us that way? Where did you go, ten years today.
Ten years ago, I stood beside the wood that held you, I must sit down my legs are shaking, We let you go, With gifts of plectrums for your journey, And melodies to help you on your way.
I′ll bleed if you want me to, I′ll serenade before i do, I′ll bleed if you want me to.
On and on although you′re gone Candles burn without a flame on Our final call to you i know you′re listening How could you leave us that way? Where did you go, ten years today.
One got addicted The other ran away Some settled down a familiar place One let′s go of the wheel While the other one steers One got the money that the other put away Some held their ground and the others couldn′t stay Some followed their dreams and the others stood clear
After all these years After all these years
One found religion and the other lost faith One sold something that he couldn′t replace Both looked back to see if the coast was clear One hits the bottle till his problems go away One didn′t make it to school that day Sometimes I wish I could just disappear
After all these years After all these years
It feels like that some days the sun never shines I can′t decide for all these little thin rhymes They′re going down in flames They′re burning alive I just can′t take this anymore One look at the past and I′m finally here After all these years
One got addicted The other ran away Some settled down a familiar place One let′s go of the wheel While the other one steers After all these years One found religion and the other lost faith One sold something that he couldn′t replace After all these years Both looked back to see if the coast was clear
Hey don′t save your kisses - just pass ′em around You′ll find my reason - is logically sound Who′s gonna know that you past them around A hundred years from today And why crave a penthouse - that′s fit for a queen You′re nearer heaven - on mamma Earth′s green If you had millions - what would they all me One hundred years from today So (Hey) laugh and sing - make love the thing Be happy while you may (′Cause) There′s always one - beneath the sun Who′s bound to make you feel that way The moon is shining - and that′s a (very) good sign Cling to me closer - say (that) you′ll be mine Remember baby we won′t see it shine A hundred years from today, a hundred years from today
There′s a game life plays Makes you think you′re everything they ever said you were Like to take some time Clear away everything I′ve planned
[chorus] Was it life I′ve betrayed For the shape that I′m in It′s not hard to fail It′s not easy to win Did I drink too much Could I dissapear And there′s nothing that′s left but wasted tears
There′s nothing left but wasted years
If I could change my life Be a simple kind of man try to do the best I can If I could take the sides I′d dreail every path I could I′m about to die Won′t you clear away from me give me strength to fly away
It′s been seven years down the road I got no more tears in me left to flow Since I did my baby wrong She left me lonely for so long
Now I′m out here on my own Lord won′t you please bring my baby home?
Lord won′t you please bring my baby home Lord won′t you please bring my baby home?
It goes one for the treble two for the bass Used to mess with this girl way back in the day She was from the peace days and she went both ways yea, the girl was a freak I used to call her Monique And before we even spoke about knockin′ the boots she said her names been changed to avoid law suits So now wer′e gettin′ down to the nitty of the gritty She brought her friend ′round and DAMN she was pretty!
Betty was twisted said her number was listed grabbed my love two fisted hugged and kissed it she said "one in the hand is worth two in the bush" but when push came to shove yo I had my own theories
World series of love It′s two on one when I got caught with a smokin′ gun. His wifey came home and she bursted in Now I′m lookin′ for my heart like it′s made from tin
The road that I travel ain′t got yellow bricks my old woman thinks that all men are pricks then she flipped the script she′s puttin′ lip to lip everytime I think about it I just lose my grip
I′ve been up and I′ve been down I′ve been high and I′ve been low I′ve been square and I′ve been round I′ve been fast and I′ve slow I′ve been cool and I′ve been calm I′ve been kind and I′ve been crass I held the whole world right in my palm I tried to spread it around but it sure went fast
Oh won′t you please bring my baby home? Lord won′t you please bring my baby home (repeat repeat repeat)
It′s been seven years down the road I got no more tears in me left to flow When I did my baby wrong She left me lonely for so long Now I′m out here all alone Lord, won′t you please bring my baby home
CHORUS (X2) Lord, won′t you please...bring my baby home Lord won′t you please bring my baby home
It go one for the treble Two for the bass Used to mess with this girl Way back in the day She was from the PJ′s And she went both ways Yeah, the girl was a freak I used to call her Monique And before I even speak About knockin′ the boots I say her name been changed to avoid lawsuits So now we gettin′ down to the nitty of the gritty She brought her friend around And damn she was pretty Betty was twisted She said her number was listed They grabbed my love two fisted Hugged it and kissed it They say one in the hand Is worth two in the bush But when shove came to push Yo, I had my own theories World Series of love It′s two on one Till I got caught with the smokin′ gun His wife came home And she bursted in Now I′m lookin′ for my heart Like I′m made from tin The road that I travel Ain′t got yellow bricks My old woman jinxed That all men are pricks And she flipped the script She′s puttin′ lip to lip And every time I think about it I just lose my grip
′Cause I′ve been up And I′ve been down And I′ve been fast And I′ve been slow And I′ve been square And I′ve been round And I′ve been high And I′ve been low And I′ve been cool And I′ve been calm And I′ve been kind And I′ve been crass I held the whole world right in my palm I tried to spread it around But it sure went fast
CHORUS
Seven years sure have flown by I got no more tears and they are left to cry When I did my sugar bad I lost the best thing I ever had And now I′m out here on my own Lord, won′t you please bring my baby home
In our time of trouble We only had ourselves Nobody else No one was there to save us We had to save ourselves
And when the storms came through They found me and you Back together And when the sun would shine It was yours and mine Yours and mine forever
CHORUS: Oh how the years go by Oh how the love brings tears to my eyes All through the changes, the soul never dies We fight, we laugh, we cry As the years go by
There were times we stumbled They thought they had us down We came around How we rolled and rambled We got lost and we got found Now we′re back on solid ground
We took everything All our times would bring In this world of danger ′Cause when your heart is strong You know you′re not alone In this world of strangers
CHORUS
If we lose our way Any night or day Well, we′ll always be I′m there for you And I know you′re there for me
As the years go by You know you′re not alone In this world of strangers
I sit alone in my bedroom Staring at the walls I′ve been up all damn night long My pulse is speeding My love is yearning
I hole my breath and close my eyes and dream about her Cause she′s 2000 light years away She holds my malakite so tight so... Never let go Cause she′s 2000 light years away
I sit outside and watch the sunrise Lookout as far as I can I can′t see her, but in the distance I hear some laughter, We laugh together
** Sitting watching stars exploding Building blocks that make This world go round On some distant planet cluster Future gazing, no sight or sound Sitting godlike Mother Nature Now immortal, on my own Light years from home
* Light years from home Light years from home
Crimson shades of evening glimmer Across the counts of earth below Shield your love like buried treasure And all the secrets that you hold Let them go
And as the daylight Brings the morning I reach out for you Anaesthetic for the heartache Now I′ll never feel alone Light years from home
Well a hundred years from now I won′t be crying A hundred years from now I won′t be blue My heart will have to forget that we ever met But I won′t care a hundred years from now
I′ll never forget sweetheart the night you told me That you could Live without my love somehow That′s all in the past I knew it wouldn′t last But I won′t care a hundred years from now
my heart is on my sleeve wear it like a bruise or blackeye my badge, my witness that means that i believed every single lie you said
cause every pane of glass that your pebbles tap negates the pains i went through to avoid you and every little pat on the shoulder for attention fails to mention i still hate you
but there′s a light on in chicago and i know i should be home all the colors of the street signs.. they remind me of the pickup truck out in front of your neighbor′s house
she took me down and said: "boys like you are overrated. so save your breath." loaded words and loaded friends are loaded guns to our heads
cause every pane of glass that your pebbles tap negates the pains i went through to avoid you and every little pat on the shoulder for attention fails to mention i still hate you
but there′s a light on in chicago and i know i should be home all the colors of the street signs.. they remind me of the pickup truck out in front of your neighbor′s house
you want apologies girl, you might hold your breath until your breathing stops forever, forever the only thing you′ll get is this curse on your lips: i hope they taste of me forever
and there′s a light on in chicago and i know i should be home all the colors of the street signs.. they remind me of the pickup truck out in front of your neighbor′s
with every breath i wish your body will be broken again, again with every breath i wish your body would be broken again, again with every breath i wish your body will be broken again, again with every breath i wish your body would be broken again
7 years and 50 days the time has passing by nothing in this world could be as nice as you and i and how could we breake up like this and how could we be wrong so many years so many days and i still sing my song

1x Refrain
7 years and 50 days the time has passing by nothing in this world could be as nice as you and i and how could we breake up like this and how could we be wrong so many years so many days and i still sing my song
Don`t remember, don`t try. You are right, searching way`s to lie. Why take trouble again, trouble in vain your callous heart? I have questions no more. Fool, who knocks on your alluring door. That`s a stranger inside. And he smiled, Leaving me in the night, just forever.
Chorus: One thousand years - I feel, I`ll survive. One thousand years will leave me alive. One thousand years will show, who is right - What is really black, what is really white.
One thousand years in dangerous zone. In thousand years you`ll tell me: «Go on!» One thousand years will show me the rule - Black is never white, fool is always fool.
I don`t try to explain – It`s the fire against the rain. I won`t pray you again, Yeah, it`s in vain. I have my pride. Nothing’s making me cry. While I breathe - dreams will never die. What is right, what is wrong? But you want me to leave you alone, just forever.
Caught up in what′s in Caught up in the things that everyone wants Caught up in what′s out Caught up in the things that you could do without Well what if I was one of them Don′t let me be
Well if I live for a million years I would be right there to catch your tears Will you get over it this time And is this the last time
On this night we breathe air What makes it so different What makes you not care Well I wish that we could be the same And I wish that you could give up this game Don′t want to be one of them Don′t let me be
Well if I live for a million years I would be right there to catch your tears Will you get over it this time And is this the last time
Will you say goodbye before you leave Will you say goodnight just one more time please Will you call my phone out of regret And will you love again With other than me, Other than me And will you speak of me with other than me And will you remember me And will you remember me Will you remember me
Well if I live for a million years I would be right there to catch your tears Will you get over it this time And is this the last time
Is this the last time Oh, is this the last time, my dear Oh, is this the last time Yeah, is this the last time my, dear Oh, is this the last time Is this the last time, my dear Is this the last time I
There′s a thing or two about high school that you need to know. We wish we had known this when we were freshmen. Watch out for freshmen Friday, the most dangerous day of the week. You thought you were excited for the weekend, but this is where your week ends.
Chorus: Four more years of obeying authority, without question don′t reach super sighted . There′s only one thousand four hundred sixteen pages left to read, it will be time to celebrate when its time to graduate. Whatever you do, don′t you ever bring a roller backpack to school, because douchbage kids will kick them over. We don′t see why though they′re really convenient! If a girl gives you a smile, don′t be deceived she wants you to father her child, and hes probably not even cute. The only thing good about high school is their super badass playgrounds, they have the best swings ever, I once jumped five feet in the air!
Chorus: Four more years of obeying authority, without question don′t reach super sighted. There′s only one thousand four hundred sixteen pages left to read, it will be time to celebrate when its time to graduate. To think how happy I was before I came, running out of every room I walked in today. And the most miserable part, is that its only the first day. If highschool was compared to seeing your mom in a playboy magazine, then maybe high school isn′t that bad because that′d be the biggest boner killer in history, unless shes hot.
