Ages

15 years of precious time behind us
7 years before our child is gone
Everything precariously balanced
The slightest breath can turn it upside down
And it took us ages
To create
And we fill up the pages
Take it down in a day
Take it down in a day

In a day you smell the turn of summer
In a day the winter had begun
In a day I became your lover
In the morning all this will be gone

And it took us ages
To create
And we fill up the pages
Take it down in a day
Take it down in a day

15 years of precious time behind us
7 years before our child is gone
Everything precariously balanced
The slightest breath can turn it upside down

And it took us ages
To create
And we fill up the pages
Take it down in a day
Take it down in a day

All In My Head

I wonder why
You act so fly
When you try, so hard to try, to try, to try, to try
I see the sky, is open wide
Take a look inside
Its wild like a child, it's free
C'mon!
It's all in my head,
It's all in my head

Us only, you and me
Wherever you go I will be
Just close your eyes and you'll see
And wherever you go I will be
On the other side
Of life we glide
Got our pride
Standing tall in the sun
Oh we're flying high
Spinning in night time
Living life and loving free
This is where I wanna be
C'mon

It's all in my head,
It's all in my head

Us only, you and me
Wherever you go I will be
Just close your eyes and you'll see
And wherever you go I will be

It's all in my head,
It's all in my head

Us only, you and me
Wherever you go I will be
Just close your eyes and you'll see
And wherever you go I will be

Avalanche

he looks like me
but not so haunted
eyes like the sea in storm in torment
how can a body so frail contain this spirit
this creature i see

we're taking an avalanche
and lifting it up again
i've been high enough
to get to where i wanna go (ooh)
and living another day
won't keep me out of touch
i'll find you some day
got to get you out of this somehow i know

he looks right through me
so unprotected his only legacy, returned, rejected
so young so free, so old and ridden
oh what you see

we're taking an avalanche
and lifting it up again
i've been high enough
to get to where i wanna go (ooh)
and living another day
won't keep me out of touch
i'll find you some day
got to get you out of this somehow i know

he's nothing like me, so wrong and wretched
your safe reality is living in sketches
and live out happiness with no explanation
and peer out at the world

we're taking an avalanche
and lifting it up again
i've been high enough
to get to where i wanna go (ooh)
and living another day
won't keep me out of touch
i'll find you some day
got to get you out of this somehow i know

Blue Eyed Boy

At the turn of the century
It was you and me
Making history baby
Always thought it was meant to be
We were humanely emotionally connected
I could have put it down to experience
I wish I put you down easy
My blue eyed boy
(I should have put you down)
My blue eyes
My blue eyed boy
(I should have put you down)
My blue eyes

I collected my dignity
With my mind at ease
I’ve burned your pictures and your memories
Put back all the pieces of me
So hard to see with rose tinted glasses
I should have put you down to experience
I wish I put you down easy

My blue eyed boy
(I should have put you down)
My blue eyes
My blue eyed boy
(I should have put you down)
My blue eyes

When all is said and done
We’re sitting in the sun
Take life by the hand
tout le monde tres content
Say I let you go
To be beautiful alone
And though I forget your smile
I remember those eyes
Those eyes

When all is said and done
We’re sitting in the sun
Take life by the hand
tout le monde tres content
Say I let you go
To be beautiful alone
And though I forget your smile
I remember those eyes
Those eyes

My blue eyed boy
(I should have put you down)
My blue eyes
My blue eyed boy
(I should have put you down)
My blue eyes

My blue eyed boy
(I should have put you down)
My blue eyes
My blue eyed boy
(I should have put you down)
My blue eyes

Catch

You create misery, have your cake and eat it
Take your place in history, and pray we don't repeat it
Call it fate, call it back, call it off, don't call me later
Lay your head in your bed, it's just how you made it

Out of my way I'm running, I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm coming, I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm running, I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way start running, I'm gonna catch you

It's your day believe it, it's your date with destiny
It's too late to leave it, after all it's your, it's your party
Call it luck, call it fate, call me beautiful to my face
Call it out to my to suprise, it’s just how you made it

Out of my way I'm running, I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm coming, I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm running, I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way start running, I’m gonna catch you

Out of my way I'm running, I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm coming, I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm running, I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way start running, I'm gonna catch you

Catch you
Catch you

Coming Home

In silence and forgotten
Is where I'll be
Til a gentle hearted stranger rescues me
Talk to me how you comfort me
I'm bitter and I'm twisted
Turn me out
And still I am addicted
To fear and doubt
Cut it out

I'm coming home now baby
I'm coming home
I'm coming home now baby
I'm coming
I'm coming home now baby
I'm coming home
I'm coming home now baby
(yeah-yeah)

See the world through a window
A thousand miles
But in my heart I'm drifting to your tired eyes
Close your eyes

The days push out a rhythm
On the open ground
I want to be back where we started
Turn it round
Make it safe and sound

I'm coming home now baby
I'm coming home
I'm coming home now baby
I'm coming
I'm coming home now baby
I'm coming home
I'm coming home now baby
(yeah-yeah)

Used to be so hell bound
Certain to find my place in the sun
But the sun's been shining every day
And my work is never done
Sometimes I feel I might be wasting my time
But then I wake up screaming and realise I'm dreaming
And know it's finally my time

I'm coming home now baby
I'm coming home
I'm coming home now baby
I'm coming
I'm coming home now baby
I'm coming home
I'm coming home now baby
(yeah-yeah)

I'm coming home now baby

Cover

The room is closing in
And you can cross the floor
The music drives you
Sends you climbing walls
The tears of recollection
Are left across your face
there are some lies you put there
and some you arrange

(CHORUS)
Just don't wanna come over
Can't seem to love one another
You wanna run and take cover
Your silence hides you from the inside
(END CHORUS)

CHORUS

You'd better get awake now
It's time to stand up tall
i can touch you so far behind walls
And see the sun is rising
In an almost perfect sky
See how far we travel and how hard we try

CHORUS

CHORUS

Inside...

CHORUS

CHORUS

Crawling

I'm paralysed
Stuck between the devil and your smile
I've got my feet wet baby
Just about to die
And then you throw me back
Against the wall
What a nice surprise
Watch me fall
And you won't see me crawling
You won't see me crawling
No crawling ain't for me baby don't, baby don't see me
Crawling

If sentiment
Seems to be running dry
And there's no relent
I keep on trying
And then I realise
What I can do
Picking up the pieces of my life
I'll get over you

And you won't see me crawling
You won't see me crawling
No crawling ain't for me baby don't, baby don't see me
Crawling

(Crawling, Crawling, Crawling, Crawling, Crawling, Crawling)

I'm bigger know
Despite of you
And when it all turns round
It'll all come back on you
Make no mistake
I learnt my lesson now
The risks we take can break us down

Until we're crawling
Until we're crawling
I say crawlings not for me baby don't, baby don't see me
Crawling

Crawling
You won't see me crawling
No crawling ain't for me baby don't, baby don't see me
Crawling

Cruel Heart

We don't have to talk
If it makes you cry
I can't help but notice
You could use a friend

It's a story of a boy who tried to be a man

Cruel heart
You won again
Cruel heart
You won again

We still need to hold you
We still need to show you

Cruel heart
You won again
Cruel heart
You won again

It' not easy to undo
The tragedy that's life
We can do nothing alone
But she always wants to fight

It's a story of a girl but where do we begin

Cruel heart
You won again
Cruel heart
You won again

We still need to hold you
We still need to show you

Cruelty

Sweet untouchable you
You gave me the runaround
All you say and what you do
picks me up and leaves me hanging

Do you call, do you
Do you call, do you
Do you call, do you call that lovin' me?
I don't, I don't, I don't no no

Sweet unthinkable past
How you jog my memory
I knew, I knew it wouldn't last
'cause you keep on pickin' me up and leaving me hanging

Do you call, do you call that loving me?
Do you call, do you call that loving me?
Do you call, do you call that loving me?
Do you call, do you
Do you call, do you
Do you call, do you
I don't, oh no I don't
I don't call that
You don't call that

Sweet unstoppable you
Send my system crashing
All you say is not what you do
You just keep on pickin' me up and leaving me
Keep on pickin' me up and leaving me

Do you call, do you call that lovin' me?
Do you call, do you call that lovin' me?
Do you call, do you call that lovin' me?
Do you call, do you
Do you call, do you
Do you call, do you
I don't, oh no I don't
I don't call that
You don't call that
You don't call that
You don't call that
You don't call that
You don't call that

Damage

Don't lose your head,
I know the damage has been done,
I know that I was in the wrong;
I should have told you.

What can I say
has probably been said,
you probably wish that I was dead,
and I don't blame you.

You won't believe me, but okay,
it wasn't meant to be this way,
but at the end of the day
I still love you.

I'll walk away, so dry your eyes,
can I just apologize?
I know I've hurt you—
I didn't mean to.

Look at the damage we have done,
(look at the damage,
I thought you were the one,
(look at the damage,
look at the damage we have done,
broken dreams and shattered love;
what can we salvage?
Look at the damage.

(Damage.)
(Look at the damage.)
(Damage.)

To tell the truth,
this didn't happen overnight
just like we lost the will to fight,
about a year ago.

Just got too familiar
and started living separate lives,
we wanted different things
and didn't communicate—'till it was too late.

You drifted further from my mind,
we were so easily untied,
it's unbelievable.

Don't be unkind, you'll come undone;
you're still a child at 21,
so go ahead—find someone
who really needs you.

Look at the damage we have done,
(look at the damage,
I thought you were the one,
look at the damage,
look at the damage we have done,
broken dreams and shattered love;
what can we salvage?
Look at the damage.

(Look at the damage.) × 2
(Damage.) × 5
(Look at the damage.)
(Damage.)
(Look at the damage.) × 6

Empty Skies


Look in my eyes,
shocked with terror.
Paralize 'n',
pull me over.
I'm so dumb,
and your so clever.
Scrutinize,
my best endeavour.
Come the day,
when I will leave,
I might cry,
You will bleed...

Chorus:
Empty skies but a butterflies wings beat silent like air
call us free by a promise torn, you said ill meet you there
Empty skies but a butterflies wings beat silent like air
call us free by a promise torn, you said ill meet you there
meet you there,
you know I'm there.

I left the sun in Africa
to be with you, to fly
cross the oceans
licking flame
every movement
speaks your name.
come the day
when I will leave
I might cry,
You will bleed...

Chorus

Face In A Crowd

We move in numbers
like shifting sand
but we're too eager
to understand
'cause we're not ready
we're too proud

now we're finding a different way
we've been chasin' each others tails
now we're ridin' a new wave
all on our own way
more than a face in the crowd (a face in a crowd)

hundreds of people
all runnin' 'round
but there's no color
and there's no sound
we move in silence
looking down

now we're finding a different way
we've been chasin' each others tails
now we're ridin' a new wave
all on our own way
more than a face in the crowd

*instrumental interlude*

a face in a crowd

now we're findin a different way |
we've been chasin' each other's tails |
now we're ridin' a new wave |All this x3
all on our own way |
more than a face in the crowd (a face in a crowd) |

Na na na na na na na na-na na (x2)
Na na na na na na na-Na
Na na na na Na

More than a face in the crowd

Na na na na na na na na-na na (x2)
Na na na na na na na-Na
Na na na na Na

Freaks Of Nature

Welcome in
Pull up a chair
All the freaks of nature will be there
Take your place at the party of the year
It's going over here
It's going over here

Pretty people almost everywhere
A sight to my eyes
I swear
and everybody seems to be dancing on air...

No one ever trusted you anyway
No one ever listens to a word you say
I’ve seen who you are
I saw through your smile
I never fall, american lias

It’s a sordid affair
Convention of pariahs
All the liars will be there
When you said there was nothing to fear
I said i'll get my coat and get out of here
Let's take a ride, look up at the sky

Come on inside
(Come on inside)

No one ever trusted you anyway
No one ever listens to a word you say
I’ve seen who you are
I saw through your smile
I never fall, american liar

No one ever trusted you anyway
No one ever listens to a word you say
I’ve seen who you are
I saw through your smile
I never fall, american liar

Gone

What's the matter with your mind?
What's the matter with you head?
What's the matter with your life, do you want mine instead?
What's the matter with your time?
What's wrong with your shoes, what you doin' in mine?

Where's the love gone (wanna know where the loves gone) x3
Tell me where's the love gone, where's the love gone

I'm little with the reason
tryin' to appease what they said
I'm rigid with hope
I'm driven with fear in my bed
They've taken my soul
and diggin' a hole to deep to fill
They'll never learn,
I doubt if they ever will...

Where's the love gone (wanna know where the loves gone) x3
Tell me where's the love gone, where's the love gone

Where's the love gone...

Time slips through my fingers...
inside my head...
here for a moment...
and is gone...

tell me
Tell me (I wanna know where the loves gone)
Where's the love gone?
Wanna know where the loves gone....

Can ya' take me?

Wanna know where the loves gone....

Where's the love gone (wanna know where the loves gone) x2
Tell me where's the love gone, where's the love gone...

Guilty

Once upon a time
A spider ate a fly
She almost lost her web
Whilst biting off his head

Im'm not guilty anymore
You are, you are
Though it brought me to the ground
You are, You are
I'm not angry anymore
You are, you are
Never wanted to be found

I've been feeling mighty weak
Since I din't get any sleep
I almost lost in my balance
Thank god I found my feet

Im'm not guilty anymore
You are, you are
Though it brought me to the ground
You are, You are
I'm not angry anymore
You are, you are
Never wanted to be found

The days don't end for me

Once upon a time
A spider ate a fly
She almost lost her weg
Whilst biting off his head

Im'm not guilty anymore
You are, you are
Though it brought me to the ground
You are, You are
I'm not angry anymore
You are, you are
Never wanted to be found

Harder

I should have treated you a bit warmer
Kept you over here in my corner
After all is said and done
You still got me on the run
A bit longer
Every day and night
I wish I had tried
A bit harder
I should have tried a little bit harder
I should have tried a little bit harder

Looking back
I could have been smarter
Maybe given time
We could get it together
I've got memories of our time
Playing over in my mind
And I cannot forget
I wish I could make it right
Maybe if I could turn back time
We could have made it if I tried
If I tried

I should have tried a little bit harder
I should have tried a little bit harder

I couldn't meet with your demands
So much I don't understand
All the good things that we had
Slip like water through our hands
Was I blind that I didn't see
That you needed more from me
How much we had to cry
We could have made it if I try

I should have tried a little bit harder
I should have tried a little bit harder
I should have tried a little bit harder
I should have tried a little bit harder

Hungry

You're like a child with old eyes,
cynical and sensible, always full of surprises
you travel far and wide
looking for the feeling, lost inside you

They don't understand you, no
until it's too late
with everything they've handed you
on a silver plate

-CHORUS-
Are you hungry for a little more
than what you've had before?
Are you hungry for a taste of life?
whet your appetite, are you hungry?

Now give me this mountainside
cool waters to lie beside
give me these two strong eyes
to see the difference between truth and lies
Ah, give me this feeling when you kiss me baby
every day and every night
That's all I need, yes
Everything else gonna be all right

-CHORUS-

You're like a sight for sore eyes, lyrical and gentle
borderlining sentimental
You're like a dream realised
so why do I keep falling back to sleep,
I'm so serious and deep.

-CHORUS-

-CHORUS-

I Was Wrong

It's not easy,
for someone like me,
to always see both sides.
But in this situation I'd agree,
yeah all right.
I was wrong,
I was wrong.

I'm sorry it took so long,
to come clean if you know what i mean,
or now it's all wrong.
So can we talk it over,
before you go,
I'm wrong,
yeah I was wrong
I was wrong.

So can we talk it over before it's all gone,
i'm wrong
Yeah baby I admit it.

Hey, I was wrong,
I admit it
it was all be baby
I'm wrong

Let Go

I won't forget you
I won't
I won't forget your smile
Or how you taken me
Oh how you taken me
I won't forget
I let you walk with me
Ahh take me home
Because the night
Is so dark
When your alone
I let you down
I let you down
I let you go

Oh won't you let me be
Myself
I wanna be
Myself
I won't forget you
I won't forget you

I let you down
I let you down
I let you go

Little Boy

Settle down
And take the heat off
You're too busy spinning in your head
You surround me in circles
You're too eager to run further

Little boy
Just imagine
All the danger that lies ahead
You're a child, so pay attention
Pay attention
Take your time
It's the time of your life, take it slow
Take it slow
And you'll know it's your time to grow
It's your time, it's your time

Little boy
In the window
Looking over
A disaster
If you trip
Or you fall over
You cut you finger
You play with fire

Little boy
Just imagine
All the danger that lies ahead
You're a child, so pay attention
Pay attention
Take your time
It's the time of your life, take it slow
Take it slow
And you'll know it's your time to grow
It's your time, it's your time

Take your time
It's the time of your life, take it slow
Take it slow
And you'll know it's your time to grow
It's your time, it's your time

Marching Orders

If you're out there laughing
Fishbowl culture
You're fighting for water
If you're out there laughing
In our direction
We see our failure

Get on your precious rocket
I think you better go
Traded your empty pockets
I think you better go
Your foolish plan won't save you
I think you better go
Your stupid fans won't save you
I think you better go
I think you better go
I think you better go

If you're out there laughing
Fishbowl culture
You're fighting for water
If you're out there laughing
In our direction

Traded your empty pockets

Your foolish plan won't save you
I think you better go
Your stupid fans won't save you

Not Enough Love

There's not enough, enough love
Enough thought for anybody
Tight as a drum
Sharp as they come
There's not enough love for anybody
Say it, play it tough
It's gonna be, it's gonna be
Rough and ready when you're throwin? into touch
There's never enough love for anybody
Not enough love, enough love
Enough thought for anybody
Tight as a drum
Sharp as they come
There's not enough love for anybody
Not enough love

Not enough love

There's not enough, enough love
Enough thought for anybody
Tight as a drum
Sharp as they come
There's not enough love for anybody
Now it's down to us, not to rush
Not to push it's fragile, carefully
We fall into line, children first
When it gets to us, there just isn't any
Not enough love, enough love
Enough thought for anybody
Tight as a drum
Sharp as they come
There's not enough love for anybody
Not enough love
Not enough love

Overkill

Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth…

Is it over now?
Over something that you overheard.
Is it over dramatised
Over complicated over here
All your clever talk
Leaves you tongue tied
It's Overkill

You wanna fix it
With your hands tied
You never will

I don’t wanna play this game no more
Back and forth and back
Is it over now
So tell me how does it feel
Ah is it over now
Oh you’ll get over me
Oh you’ll get over me

Take it easy now
Don’t wanna change a thing
Don’t want my dirty little feet allover everything
I took my shoes off
So I wouldn’t tread
Over the clean sheets wrapped around that dirty bed
Oh believe me
If I wanted to baby I would bury you
I keep my hands clean
Keep my dignity
I leave it all to you

I don’t wanna play this game no more
Back and forth and back
Is it over now
So tell me how does it feel
Ah is it over now
Oh you’ll get over me

(Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth…)

I don’t wanna play this game no more
Back and forth and back
Is it over now
So tell me how does it feel
Ah is it over now
Oh you’ll get over me

(Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth…

Pride

What you gonna do
When it's time to recognise
Do you wanna get serious
When you're walking by my side
And the way is perilous
And you think you're better now
You think you're over it
I can see from the look on your face
You're a long way off
Pride it always comes
Before a fall
You see me
See me calling
I can fly
But I watch you falling

You see me
See me calling
I can fly
But I watch you falling
Falling

Don't fall
It's a long way down again
I can see your pretty face
Unaware embarassment
I'm falling down again
And I think I'm better now
And I think I'm over it
Can you see by the smile on my face?
I'm coming home
Pride it always comes
Before a fall

You see me
See me calling
I can fly
But I watch you falling

You see me
See me calling
I can fly
But I watch you falling
Falling

What you gonna do
When it's time to recognise
Do you wanna get serious
When you're walking by my side
And the way is perilous
Well I think we're better now
And I think we're over it
I can see by the look on your face
It's coming home
Pride it always comes
Before a fall

See me

I feel happy when I'm living in it
When I wanna turn it round on its head
Aah recovery

When I'm feeling happy when I'm down on my knees
And you wanna take it over again
Recovery
Recovery
Recovery
