There's something going on
Something not quite right
There's something strange
Happening to me
There's someone at the door
Hear voices in my head
It seems things aren't the way
They ought to be

It seemed so clear before
I held my point of view
I kept my conversation
Never changed
Now it's all gone wrong
Words are kind of hard
Nothing else around me
Looks the same

Who needs love like that
Who needs love like that
Love can turn you upside-down
And leave you cold
It's plain to see
You're losing all control
(Losing all control)

I'd like to understand
Like to find out why
I can't remember all
The lines that you said
But then I see your face
And nothing really counts
Don't tell me now
This feeling will stay

Who needs love like that
Who needs love like that
Love can turn you upside-down
And leave you cold
It's plain to see
You're losing all control
(Losing all control)

Oh l'amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do

Looking for you
You were looking for me
Always reaching for you
You were too blind to see
Oh love of my heart
Why leave me alone
I'm falling apart
No good on my own

Oh l'amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do

Why throw it away
Why walk out on me
I just live for the day
For the way it should be
There once was a time
Had you here by my side
You said I wasn't your kind
Only here for the ride

Oh l'amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do

No emotional ties
You don't remember my name
I lay down and die
I'm only to blame
Oh love of my heart
It's up to you now
You tore me apart
I heard inside-out

Oh l'amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do

It's not the way you lead me
By the hand into the bedroom
It's not the way you leave your clothes
Upon the bathroom floor
Been thinking about you
I just couldn't wait to see
Fling my arms around you
As we fall in ecstasy

Chorus:
Ooh sometimes
The truth is harder
Than the pain inside
Ooh sometimes
It's the broken heart
That decides

It's not the way you caress me
Toy with my affection
It's not my sense of emptiness
You fill with your desire
Climb in bed beside me
We can lock the world outside
Touch me satisfy me
Want your body next to mine

Call it new technology
And they use it to burn
And they show no concern
Work for their prosperity
While the big wheels turn
Now it's too late to learn
Don't upset the teacher
Though we know he lied to you
Don't upset the preacher
Gonna close his eyes for you
And it's a shame
That you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting
In the pouring rain
Putting back the pieces
Of a broken dream
Father worked in industry
Now the work has moved on
And the factories gone
See them sell your history
Where once you were strong
And you used to belong
There was once a future
For a working man
There was once a lifetime
For a skilful hand
Yesterday
Don't upset the teacher
Though we know he lied to you
Don't upset the preacher
Gonna close his eyes for you
Tempers fray so easily
In desperate despair
Is there anyone that cares
Just another tragedy
Just a personal affair
In a room somewhere
There was once a future
For a working man
There was once a lifetime
For a skilful hand
Yesterday

I try to discover
A little something to make me sweeter
Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
Why you're making me work so hard

And if I should falter
Would you open your arms out to me
We can make love not war
And live at peace with our hearts
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
What religion or reason
Could drive a man to forsake his lover

Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no

I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
Why you're making me work so hard

How can I explain
When there are few words I can choose
How can I explain
When words get broken

Do you remember
There was a time ahaha
When people on the street
Were walking hand in hand in hand
They used to talk about the weather
Making plans together
Days would last forever

Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up, don't give up
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love

Do you remember
Once upon a time ahaha
When there were open doors
An invitation to the world
We were falling in and out with lovers
Looking out for others
Our sisters and our brothers

Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up, don't give up
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love
Together we'll break these chains of love

How can I explain
When there are few words I can choose
How can I explain
When words get broken

Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up, don't give up
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love
Together we'll break these chains of love

Don't ever let me take you for granted
You've got your finger on the pulse of my soul
Let me place a kiss in the small of your back
Love and protect you from the evils of this world

Baby don't ever leave me stranded
Whoever said that the streets were paved with gold
We'll I'm afraid that we're all sadly mistaken
There's nothing here till we have someone to hold

I love you with all the joy of living
Till the lights go down in New York City
It's a special love affair
And there's magic in the air

You gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
Till I'm lost and found
And you surround me with your senses

If love wasn't here would we reinvent it?
Oh take me down to the very root of my soul
Oh baby say it as if you really mean it
And feel the passion
Work it's way up through your skin

I love you with all the joy of living
Till the lights go down in New York City
It's a special love affair
And there's magic in the air

You gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
Till I'm lost and found
And you surround me with your senses

Go ahead with your dreaming
For what it's worth
Or you'll be stricken bound
Kicking up dirt
For when it's dark
You never know what the night it may bring

Go ahead with your scheming
And shop at home
You'll find treasure
While cooking up bones
But the knife is sharp
You'd better watch that you don't cut your hands

And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

Holy Moses our hearts are screaming
Souls are lifting only dreaming
We'll be waiting some are praying
For a time when no one's cheating

The sunlight rising over the horizon
Just a distant memory the dawn chorus
Birds singing bells ringing
In our hearts in our minds...

I never had to tell a lie
'Cause I left the choices up to them
Don't know why but I did

Take me I'm yours
Now I'm coming up for air
I'm gonna live my time
For the rest of my life
Then I'll be coming back for more

I would go out every night
Looking for someone to treat me right
Not a chance not a hope in this world

I'm crazy flowing over with ideas
A thousand ways to woo a lover so sincere
Love and hate what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers up and down my spine

For every Casanova that appears
My sense of hesitation disappears
Love and hate what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers up and down my spine

And the lovers that you sent for me
Didn't come with any satisfaction guarantee
So I return them to the sender
And the note attached will read
How I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you

Oh you really still expect me to believe
Every single letter I receive
Sorry you what a shameful situation
Sending shivers up and down my spine

I like to read a murder mystery
I like to know the killer isn't me
Love and hate what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers make me quiver
Feel it sliver up and down my spine

Take me back to the place
Where I once belonged
This could be anyplace a place
Where you and I could sing this song

Let me dive into the lake
Where winter hides the snow
Then comes the summertime
Fields of scarlet poppies grow

Let me sleep a little while
Underneath the trees
And dream of dragonflies
Where the weary willow weeps for me

And the river flows
I am never gonna take it back again
And the river flows
I am never gonna get it back again

We don't know anything
Trapped in a world full of strangers
Please don't tell me anything
I'd rather fall into you

Open your eyes I see
Your eyes are open
Wear no disguise for me
Come into the open

When it's cold outside
Am I here in vain?
Hold on to the night
There will be no shame

Always
I wanna be with you
And make believe with you
And live in harmony harmony oh love

Melting the ice for me
Jump into the ocean
Hold back the tide I see
Your love in motion

When it's cold outside
Am I here in vain?
Hold on to the night
There will be no shame

Don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
A hint of the scent then it's gone
Look at the state of you, you're all fingers & thumbs
So who's your latest flame
Drivin' em wild in the fast lane
Won't say I told you so, but the boy has no shame

Once when my hands were full
We were double or quits then some
Nothin' at all to show for a love so precious

Gone & blown it all, how can you say
"It doesn't matter much to me?"
A dumb mistake too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris

Gone & blow it all & then you say
"This can't be happening to me"
A dumb mistake too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris

Don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
The thrill of the chase then it's gone

Only the hurt to prove that it ever went on
And life is a wonderful thing
When you're humming the words to a love song
Do what you wanna do be who you want to be

When I'm in your arms I'm strong
There's nowhere I'd rather be
We shine for liberty, life & the pursuit of pleasure

Gone & blown it all, how can you say
"It doesn't matter much to me?"
A dumb mistake too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris

Gone & blown it all & then you say
"This isn't happening to me"
A dumb mistake too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris

And how the days have flown too few & fast
They said it wasn't meant to last
A dumb mistake too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris

Tempered by greed, tall buildings breathe
Give a sigh of relief when it's night
Stirring from sleep, we night owls creep
Is there any sign of life under this stone
Star chime hollow & true.
Love, child

Weep for me & I will cast your wheels in motion
Walk with me the inner reaches of emotion

Sheltered by creed, one piled on one
Do you have a little room for one small one
light shine wild & free
Sun, rise

Weep for me & I will set your wheels in motion
Keep with me & like a roller on the ocean
Stand by me & I will fill you with devotion
Walk with me the inner reaches of emotion

Weep for me & sands of time will fill the ocean
Keep with me 'til rays of sunshine fill the ocean
Walk with me the inner reaches of emotion
Stand with me & I will fill you with devotion

Weep for me the sands of time will fill the ocean
Keep with me & like a roller on the ocean
Stand by me & I will fill you with devotion
Walk with me the inner reaches of emotion
The sands of time will fill the ocean
Keep with me & rays of sunshine fill the ocean
Walk with me the inner reaches of emotion

The deal is on the rise again.
The ship comes into shore.
They've been away to somewhere,
but life goes on no less.

Through the foreign oceans,
underneath the seas.

And walls come tumbling down;
we'll be forever calm.
And you'll be here in my arms,
I'll keep you away from harm.

I thought about you twice just then;
you get me everytime.
Keeps coming out of nowhere;
it cannot be defined.

Your colors are magnificent:
from magenta to bright blue.

And walls come tumbling down;
we'll be forever calm.
And you'll be here in my arms,
I'll keep you away from harm.

And walls come tumbling down;
we'll be forever calm.
And you'll be here in my arms,
I'll keep you away from harm.

why should it matter how i feel
this old romantic down at hill
then again, if i'd known the outcome, sure you'd win.

illusion shattered, made them real
a night of magic, fate is sealed
ran amok, and you knocked my tiny world for six

it wouldn't have made the slightest , blindest bit of difference

all together now, lets hear us pray
make it better now and savour the day
I'm all over, save me darling!

I feel it deep down deep inside
can not believe we're still alive
that is good, cause i did not mean you harm, my love

we took a shot at masquerade
came crashing down on love's parade
we were young, were so full of teen emotion then

we couldn't have made the slightest, blindest bit of difference

all together now, lets hear us pray
make it better now and savour the day
I'm all over, save me darling!

all together now, lets hear us pray
make it better now and savour the day
I'm all over, save me darling!

we couldn't have made the slightest, blindest bit of difference

all together

all together now, lets hear us pray
make it better now and savour the day
I'm all over, save me darling!

Freedom will come
To real love
Heaven will come
For real love

Do-Wah, Do-Wah, Do-Wah
Run away when it hurts, from the things that we do
Do-Wah, Do-Wah, Do-Wah
Don't know why we cry, run away from the truth

Children of new men
Colors of human kind, in shadow
Good is your loving
Growing and sharing storms

Believe
You've got to believe

Calling the day freedom will come
And we will arise to real love
Day by day, heaven will come
And we'll survive for real love

Cherish the union, the light in a stranger's eyes
Your guardian angel will make all the wrong things right

Believe
You've got to believe

Do-Wah, Do-Wah, Do-Wah
Do-Wah, Do-Wah, Do-Wah
Do-Wah, Do-Wah, Do-Wah
Do-Wah, Do-Wah, Do-Wah

Calling the day freedom will come
And we will arise to real love
Day by day, heaven will come
And we'll survive for real love

Calling the day freedom will come
And touch the sky in heaven above
Day by day, heaven will come
And we'll survive for real love

Calling the day freedom will come
And touch the sky in heaven above
Day by day, heaven will come
And we'll survive for real love

Calling the day freedom will come
And touch the sky in heaven above
Day by day, heaven will come
And we'll survive for real love

Where in the world did you go?
Without a clue, without a word
What on earth did I do wrong?
You won't believe how much I hurt

I can't believe the mess we're in
My sense of humour wearing thin
Gets away with murder every day
Can't you hear me?
Won't you make it go away?

An aftertaste of bitterness
Hits me in the face, someone else's lips
Here I lie awake, alone
Just wishing you'd come home

You leave me desolate and sore
Go and fight in someone else's war
And so you put us both to shame
Don't come near me
Won't you make it go away?

I can't believe the mess we're in
My sense of humour wearing thin
No-one's getting younger anyway
Can't you hear me?
Won't you make it go away?

I can't believe the mess that we're in
My sense of humour wearing thin
Gets away with murder every other day
Can't you hear me?
Won't you make it go away?

On your own, when it all goes wrong
Like you're in gaol
Torn in two, threw the blame at you
Nightmare prevails

There is no guarantee
One crazy heart like me
Should I go curl up and die?

Surreal
Precious time is slipping away
Reveal
Don't go wishing your life away
The wheel
Of fortune keeps spinning on anyway
A steal
Precious time is running away

One line folds, and the next strikes gold
Finds me in gaol
Tried to run, gotta buy me some
Free time and bail

There is no guarantee
Fool for a hangman's tree
Should I go curl up and die?

Surreal
Precious time is slipping away
Reveal
Don't go wishing your life away
The wheel
Of fortune keeps on spinning anyway
A steal
Precious time is running away

There is no guarantee
One crazy heart like me
Should I go curl up and die?

Surreal
Precious time is slipping away
Reveal
Don't go wishing your life away
The wheel
Of fortune keeps spinning on anyway
A steal
Precious time is running away

Surreal
Precious time is slipping away
Reveal
Don't go wishing your life away
The wheel
Of fortune keeps on spinning anyway
A steal
Precious time is running away

Twenty seven times
I paint the city in lights
Now I changed my mind
I was living fast
Now I'm running on empty

Breathe
And I breathe
It's bitter without you
I can't live without you
And I'm....in love with you

Stood the test of time
Though I treated you rough
You were always kind
I let my head rule my heart
Now I feel so lonely

Breathe
And I breathe
It's hollow without you
I can't live without you
And I'm....in love with you

Breathe
I believe
It's empty without you
I can't live without you
And I'm....in love with you

Breathe
And I breathe
It's bitter without you
I can't live without you
And I'm....in love with you

Breathe
I believe
It's empty without you
I can't live without you
And I'm....in love with you

Breathe
I believe
I can't live without you
And I can't live with you
And I'm....in love with you

As a means of release
Pick up my little pieces of heaven
Oh 'tis a social disease
When I cry as you head for the door

I want it all
You can take it or leave it

With a light coming in
My desire to give in
Runs away with me near
If I'm not good enough
And my love is too much
Then forget it

Now I'm strong
Carry me home
You can take it or leave it
God help me
But forgive me
My true intentions

It hurts me but I've nowhere left to run
All this time still falling out of love

As we cut to the cross (chase?) (Or: As we cut through the crust?)
This could well be the year of decision
Do you know what I need
Like a song spinning round in my head

Now I'm strong
Carry me home
You can take it or leave it
God help me
But forgive my true intentions

(Love...love...love...love...love...love...)
(Love...love...love...love...love...)

(i want it all)
(give me it all)
(i want it all)
(give me it all)

God help me
But forgive my true intentions
It hurts me
But I've nowhere left to run
God help me
But forgive my true intentions
It hurts me
And I've nowhere left to run

Don't justify
For what you are
And where you've been
For who you are tonight
So lonesome tonight

Make believe
Just hanging on
You're crazy
That's who are you tonight
All over tonight

Falling soft
But raining hard
So wrap up well
It's freezing cold tonight
So cold tonight

Tell me all
I need to know
I'll spare your fears
So sad to see tonight
The tears you cry tonight

I bet you're mad at me
Can't you read my lips
I see your eyes of blue
What you want from me
It's not the way it should be
You've got the world to give
I gave you all my love
But you're mad at me
