Man Made The Gun

Man made the gun a sado-sexual machine
It's slaughter brings you to your knees

Man made the gun
Who is the person that is holding on?
What's in his mind, where is he looking from?
Isn't he the one we should be gazing on, contemplating on?

'Cos man made the gun
Man shapes the son

Man made the gun
While there is evil in this world
We try to save our boys and girls
Man made the bomb
That doesn't mean that we should turn them on
Or ever yearn him on

'Cos man made the gun
Man shapes the son

Man made it, man made it

Thank You

I thank you for the things you have shown me
Thank you for the love of my life
So far anyway, now it's really really over
O God I really thank you baby

Most of all I thank you for your love
Like good people should do anyway

I thank you
I really thank you
All of my life
I really thank you

My souvenirs I hold them and remember
All the days for the rest of my life
Truth is I miss you in all the ways you will imagine
See me, feel me I wanna say

Most of all I thank you for your love
Like good people should do anyway

Blue

I'm blue, blue like a Monday morning

Raised up in a way that I can value
All the material things that I could ever really need don't matter
So many ways that I can thank you
But you know that I am here and no-one else in this world will matter

I'm blue, blue like a Monday morning
It's true, it's you that's got me yearning

For a love that will last forever
Wishing that somebody somewhere
Would break through these wrought iron doors and just smile
Because I'm blue

I can't get emote to try and tell you
All the love that I have
Am I ever gonna make it happen?
So many ways that I can thank you
But you know that I'm here and no-one else in this
world will matter

I'm blue, blue like a Monday morning
It's true, it's you that's got me yearning

Because I'm blue. Nobody knows that I'm blue

The Air That I Breathe

If I could make a wish I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat no books to read
Making love with you, has left me peaceful warm inside
What more could I ask
There's nothing left to be desired

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
Just to have you now
All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want

Peace came upon me and it breathes in me
Don't sleep silent angel don't you sleep

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you just to have you now
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Stars

Anyone who ever held you
Would tell you the way I'm feeling
Anyone who ever wanted you
Would try to tell you what I feel inside
The only thing I ever wanted
Was the feeling that you ain't faking
The only one you ever thought about
Wait a minute can't you see that I

I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend

For the man who tried to hurt you
He's explaining the way I'm feeling
For all the jealousy I caused you
States the reason why I'm trying to hide
As for all the things you taught me
It sends my future into clearer dimensions
You'll never know how much you hurt me
Stay a minute can't you see that I

I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend

Too many hearts are broken
A lover's promise never came with a maybe
So many words are left unspoken
The silent voices are driving me crazy
As for all the pain you caused me
Making up could never be your intention
You'll never know how much you hurt me
Stay can't you see that I

I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend

Lives And Loves

Lives and loves, don't tell me about it
To respond to something permanent, you've got to be strong
Mmm : lives and loves
Only you know in your heart how the pain felt
How the love made you melt, me and you love
We have a way that seems to brighten up the day
We have our problems
Is the whole world asking is it worth it?
All the lovers in the world, should they go on?
After all, they say you only live once

Lives and loves, only you know in your heart
How the pain felt, how the love made you melt
Me and you love, we have a way
That seems to brighten up the day
We have our problems
Is the whole world asking is it worth it?
All the lovers in the world, should they go on?
On and on and on

Oohhh, lives and loves, don't tell me about it
Someone always gets hurt in it, you've got to be strong
Hey: lives and loves
Only we know in our hearts how the pain felt
Oh your love made me melt, me and you love
We had a way that seemed to brighten up the day
We had our problems
Is the whole world asking is it worth it?
All the lovers in the world, should they go on?
After all, they say you only live once

Mellow My Mind

Baby mellow my mind
Make me feel, like a schoolboy on good time
Jugglin' nickels and dimes
Satisfied with the fish on the line

I've been down the road and I've come back
Lonesome whistle on the railroad track
Ain't got nothin' on those feelings that I had

Something so hard to find
A situation, that could casualise your mind

I've been down the road and I've come back
Lonesome whistle on the railroad track
Ain't got nothin' on those feelings that I had

I've been down the road and I've come back
Lonesome whistle on the railroad track
Ain't got nothin' on those feelings that I had.

Baby mellow my mind
Make me feel, like a schoolboy on good time
Jugglin' nickels and dimes
Satisfied with a fish on the line.

We're In This Together

All eyes were closed, nobody knows
How the world wasn't able to see that they were
Washed-up failures
My eyes are open, my love is strong
I am here to stay and it will always be that way

We're in this together
We're in this together
Forever
Together

My line is strong, my soul it rolls
Somewhere on the train of universal feeling
My eyes are open, just like the ocean
From the people in need to the sun and the seas

We're in this together
We're in this together
Forever
Together
Forever

We're in this together
We're in this together
Forever
Together
Forever
Together

Broken Man

Now I am a broken man, Now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man, Now I am a broken man

It's no good being here with me
I'm a little scared of the things you see
It's no good having friends at all
They do me no good, they don't do me no good at all

It's no good living in the past
It's no good at all you know it don't last
It's no good making a change
There's nothing to change I don't want to rearrange

But what I wanna do is spend some time with you
But I know I can't because all you want is you

So now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man
I am a broken man

I saw my shadow on the wall
It looked at me then left me
I'm hoping somebody will call
But I hope they don't come and get me at all

Because what I wanna do is spend some time with you
But I know I can't because all you want is you

So now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man
I am a broken man

You Make Me Feel Brand New

My love
I'll never find the words, my love
To tell you how I feel, my love
Mere words could not explain
Precious love
You held my life within your hands
Created everything I am
Taught me how to live again

Only you
Cared when I needed a friend
Believed in me through thick and thin
This song is for you
Filled with gratitude and love

God bless you
You make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you
You make me feel brand new
I sing this song 'cause you
Make me feel brand new

My love
Whenever I was insecure
You built me up and made me sure
You gave my pride back to me
Precious friend
With you I'll always have a friend
You're someone who I can depend
To walk a path that never ends

Without you
My life has no meaning or rhyme
Like notes to a song out of time
How can I repay
You for having faith in me

Sunrise

As I look into your eyes I see the sunrise
The light behind your face helps me realise

Will we sleep and sometimes love until the moon shines
Maybe the next time I'll be yours and maybe you'll be mine

I don't know if it's even in your mind at all
It could be me
At this moment in time
Is it in your mind at all
It should be me, it could be me
Forever

Wandering through life will love come home to you
And the love you want forever, will they be true to you

Will we sleep and sometimes love until the moon shines
Maybe the next time I'll be yours and maybe you'll be mine

I don't know if it's even in your mind at all
It could be me
At this moment in time
Love's indescribable
It should be me, it could be me
Forever

Easy, ready, willing, over time
Where does it stop where do you dare me to draw the line
You've got the body now you want my soul
Don't even think about it say no go

Little Englander

We think we're important
We are, we're a car, we're a shell

When you hit that city road
You sure give them hell

Are you sure he's showing off
Or are you showing us yourself

Little Englander, Little Englander

In your search to be a star
You became the p***k you are

Little Englander, Little Englander
Little Englander, Little Englander

Judge me go on it amuses me
As you pickle through your tirade
You prattle on to the point of a laugh

Your Hieronymus Bosch - like soul
Betrays who you really are

Little Englander, Little Englander
Little Englander, Little Englander
Little Englander, Little Englander
Little Englander, Little Englander

Let me smash the plastic face of my country
Let me smash the plastic face of my country
My country
My lovely country

Good Times Have Done Me Wrong

I drank a lot
Spent too much
Gave a lot
Screwed up a lot
Now good times you've done me wrong, so wrong

And now I feel that my lifetime is mine
Happy to drink my wine
Hangin' here, that girl of mine
Still, good times, you've done me wrong, so wrong

[Chorus:]
Remember all the good times
Remember all the good times
Remember all the good times
Remember all the good times
Good times, good times
Good times, good times
Remember all the good times
The good times
The good times

I did really love too much
I never really cared too much
Good times you've done me wrong
Now good times, so wrong

Oh! What A Girl!

There came a time in my life
A time to move along
Left alone once more again
Yes I loved her

Images abound in my mind
They paint you like I love you
If I felt I had you
I'd open up my soul again

Now I just can't stand being turned on my head
And I don't need to be lonely in my bed
I don't wanna be around until the curtain falls
When she walks in the room the moonlight beams
From her face and all those dreams
Come along where lost love stole a parking space
And oh what a girl, what a lady

I'm here to thank the fool
Who gave me the woman I love
I hear you call her name
I really just can't thank you enough

These images abound in my mind
Painting me like I love you
I know I've found you
I've opened up my soul for sure

Now I just can't stand being turned on my head
And I don't need to be lonely in my bed
I don't wanna be around until the curtain falls
When she walks in the room the moonlight beams
From your face and all those dreams
Come along where lost love stole a parking space
And oh what a girl, what a lady

Heaven

Ev'ryone is trying to get to the bar
The name of the bar
The bar is called heaven
The band in heaven
They play my fav'rite song
They play it once again
They play it all night long

[Chorus:]
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens

There is a party, everyone is there
Everyone will leave at exactly the same time
It's hard to imagine that nothing at all
Could be so exciting, could be so much fun

[Chorus:]
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens

When this kiss is over it will start again
It will not be any different, it will be exactly the same
It's hard to imagine that nothing at all
Could be so exciting, could be so much fun

[Chorus:]
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens

Picture Book

Many types came to see the picture
Many types came to see the picture
Only he had the right to come
Only he is long gone

Will or win or wicked it's written in it
[repeat]

Quivering in mutual aggression
Women sing remembering affection
Only he had the right to come
Only he is long gone

Will or win or wicked it's written in it
[repeat]

[Chorus:]
Here by the side of the book
(we beseech thee, we beseech thee)
Here by the side of piero's spirit

Move On Out

So you tell me you're certain about it
Sure to tell me you're rid of me
How cool can you be
Shrugging you're shoulders saying you're rid of me
That's the way it is
So sickly sweet and oh so candy
No matter which way it is
I'll live in the flat the council gave me

You'd better move on out now
Leave town and get on out now

Living with each other only for the sake of it
Living in a shack they said was "handy"
Your good looks blew you out and now you want no part of it
Suffice to tell me you're rid of me
That's the way it is
I'll live in the flat that the housing gave me

Look uh get outa here!
get outa here!

You'd better move on out now
Leave town and get on out now

Poisoned letters from snakes who died to make it
Hung out drying in the cemetery
My personality always is a problem
Always was and always will be
That's the way it is
You don't need to understand me
No matter which way it is
I'll live in the flat that the housing gave me

Look uh get outa here!
get outa here!

Let Me Have It All

You have turned into a prayer
I can feel I'm almost there
Closer closer to the top
Looking down is quite a drop

Let me have it all
Let me have it all

You set up a barrier
Don't you know I'd marry ya
Can't explain how you make me feel
Looking down is mighty real
Make me feel like a king
Everything is everything

Let me have it all
Let me have it all

You set up a barrier
Don't you know I'd marry ya
Just to be near you is to be
Just so you can give it to me

Let me have it all
Let me have it all

Love Fire

Fire fire
Fire fire
Fire fire fire fire
Can't put it out with water

Keeps on burning
Keeps on burning
Keeps on burning burning burning
In my soul

Your love is like a burning fire
It keeps on burning burning burning
In my soul
This love of mine it's my one desire
It's gonna set my soul on fire
It'll never grow cold

Fire fire fire
Fire fire fire
Keeps on burning burning burning
In my soul

Your love is so kind to I
So good good
It'll never grow cold
This love of mine it's my one desire
It's gonna set my soul on fire
It'll never grow cold

Fire fire
Fire fire
Fire fire fire fire
Can't put it out with water

Keeps on burning
Keeps on burning
Keeps on burning burning burning
In my soul

Wonderland

People, places
Pursuing the chases
Our moments were chosen
Her senses, explosion

Take your pulse and read it well
She never said you'd only get one chance
Pay your debt and bleed as well
You're living in the same circumstances

The end of an era
Our future no clearer
My people no stronger
The blame I lay on her

Wonderland, Wonderland
It's beautiful
Wonderland, wonderland
It's beautiful

Take your pulse and read it well
She never said you'd only get one chance
Pay your debt and bleed as well
You're living in the same circumstances

The end of an era
My future no clearer
Our people no stronger
The blame I lay on her

Wonderland, wonderland
It's beautiful
Wonderland, wonderland
It's beautiful

Fading away, fading away until tomorrow comes
To haunt us all
It's coming again, it's gonna pick up on you
And haunt you always

Wonderland wonderland
Fading away

She's Got It Bad

I get off my things, I lay down in the sidelanes
I don't feel that I hide, just permanently ride
And I'm waiting for your gentle reign
Something that'll help me learn

But one look at her and you know
That she's got it bad
One look and the mirror shows
I live as I want
But she's got it bad

Check it out, check it out, roll up there now
Huh!
She's headed for a festival of heartache
Miss executive desperation you only suck the
Blood that's spilled
Your macho imitation femininity is killed
I pray that you don't feel no pain
Only if it helps you learn

But one look at her and you know
That she's got it bad
One look and the mirror shows
I live as I want
But she's got it bad
She knows it
It shows!

Someday In My Life

Here from the top of a mountain
I see you there
In the cool night air
Someday in my life

Fear has no reason to doubt them
They tell me so
Yet they will never know
You are here in my life

Wherever I go now
I'll follow you
And my heart will be true
I have never known someone
To stay right here
Soon you will be right here
Someday in my life

[Piano solo]

Here from the top of a mountain
I see you there
In the cool night air
Someday in my life

Storms may rage on about them
They hail and snow
Yet they will never know
You are here in my life

Wherever I go now
I'll follow you
And my heart will be true
I have never known someone
To stay right here
Soon you will be right here
Someday in my life

The Death Of The Cool

My shyness, my misunderstood
My misunderstanding
My destiny is grounded, by confounding weights
As Hollywood greats inspire me to keep my body whole

Since I've been the master of low expectations
Aren't you humans supposed to look like me?

Quotes like "buddy I blew you up
Then gave you a band aid"
Pseudo spiritual kebababallah's we can all be fooled
It's the death of the cool
The death of the cool

We got fakirs, false prophets and fools
And phoney saint saviours
Fame's pick me up gets drowned in
Pop's twinkle and dreams torn at the seams
It can leave you with nothing left at all

Since we're the believers with tall expectations
Can't you humans come have a laugh with me?

Quotes like "buddy I screwed you up, made you the new slave
The fastest growing guru in the market place of happiness
We can all be saved
"Buddy I blew you up, gave you a band aid"
Do you really need to learn to be a human?
We can all be shamed
Its the death of the cool
The death of the cool

Quotes like "buddy I blew you up, gave you a condom"
Do you really need to learn to save a human?
We could all be blamed

Buddy I blew you up
The death of the cool
[repeat]

Lady

Your indulgence of your freedom ignores me
Your freedom to express your confusion shames all of us
As if being a lady will make it easier
By being a lady it will make love life clearer

I hope that you get what you think you want some day baby
And I pray that you get the approval you're craving
This beautiful lady can overtake all of us
Funny this kind of lady seems to make our lives clearer

[Chorus:]
I could turn on a leaf and let you burn
Beg you for relief when it's my turn
Help me to help you help me learn
Ah lady! You make life breathe easier
But don't blame me if your life sheds a tear

The feverish time we spend alone it soothes me
But too many days spent apart alone they just confuse me
Part of being a lady you love it when I miss you more
And without pontificating its you I'm adorin'

[Chorus]

Ah Lady! Oh Lady!
Crazy! Ooh Lady!
Ah baby! Ooh you make me crazy!

Money In My Pocket (Plan B Mix)


Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love
Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love
I'm praying for
A girl to be my own

Soon you said she coming but I don't believe a word she say
Cause she run away and left me one rainy day
She made me had in mind
That her love would never die
And now I'm alone, so alone
So alone, yeah, yeah

Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love
Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love
The love I had in mind
Was very, very hard to find

It's hard for a man to live without a woman
And a woman needs a man to cling to
You'll see what love can do
After making me feel blue
Ain't that a shame, whoa baby
Ain't that a shame
To make me feel blue

I've got money in my pocket
