  • What do you want from me?

    There is one thing, that I would die for.
    It's when you say, my life is in your hands,
    'Cos when you're near me, your love is all I need.
    Now I can't imagine...

    What do you want from me?
    It's not how it used to be.
    You've taken my life away, ruining everything.

    What do you want from me?
    It's not how it used to be.
    You've taken my life away, ruining everything.

    Give me something, I can rely on.
    Far away from, the life that I once knew.
    What does it matter?  That's all I have to say.
    Now I can't imagine...

    What do you want from me?
    It's not how it used to be.
    You've taken my life away, ruining everything.

    Shine

    Every day, I keep on lying to you,
    I just don't know what to do, but I do.
    So leave me alone, I just wanna stay here at home.
    So far away from, whatever some might say or some might do.

    Just as I thought, I've found someone that needs me,
    someone that needs me, so much.
    And just as before, it's that someone who needs me,
    someone I needed so much.

    But it's you, spinning me out of control,
    hurting me deep in my soul, so I'm told,
    I just wanna stop, 'cos nothing's as bad as it seems,
    I can't be bothered so stay a while,
    and tell me what it all means.

    Just as I thought, I've found someone that needs me,
    someone that needs me, so much.
    And just as before, it's that someone who needs me,
    someone I needed so much.

    Now I'll tell you the truth, 'bout what I should do,
    why I can't stand you no more.
    There's a time and a place, my life's such a waste,
    where everything had to go wrong,
    that's just what I needed.

    Just as I thought, I've found someone that needs me,
    someone that needs me, so much.
    And just as before, it's that someone who needs me,
    someone I needed so much.

    Sweet Lips

    Tell it to your sister, and tell it to your brother,
    Just how much you miss them, why you don't even bother,
    Could this be the same love, we shared with on another?
    Always been a cut above, you know that it's gonna be alright.

    Tell me what's in your mind?
    I know that you're trying to help me, but I just can't find,
    A way to get out of this...
    ...Love, can't you see?  That it feels, so unreal?

    Tell it to your sister, and tell it to your brother,
    Just how much you miss them, why you don't even bother,
    Could this be the same love, we shared with on another?
    Always been a cut above, you know that it's gonna be alright.

    Help me, 'cos I'm going down,
    and now that I've got a good reason,
    I'm taking the easy way out, I'll never get out of this..
    ...Love, can't you see?  It's got to be, so unreal?

    Tell it to your sister, and tell it to your brother,
    Just how much you miss them, why you don't even bother,
    Could this be the same love, we shared with on another?
    Always been a cut above, you know that it's gonna be alright.

    Buzz Gum

    Gotta find a way to get out, turning my whole world upside down,
    When you realise you'll find the time, and everything will just work out fine.
    Every day I sit down and wait, should've know I'd left it too late.
    When I'd sooner cry and realise, that everything will just work out fine.

    So let love always shine on, turn the light on, till everyone goes by.
    And we'll, just stay together, make it better, all the time.

    Did you say that love has it's price?  Paying with the time of our lives.
    It's not a crime to realise that everything will work out alright.
    Strip away your hopes and your fears, drown it in the tracks of my tears.
    Stop the lights and dry your eyes, 'cos everything will work out alright.

    So let love always shine on, turn the light on, till everyone goes by,
    And we'll, just stay together, make it better, all the time.

    Let love always shine on, turn the light on, till everyone goes by.
    And we'll, just stay together, make it better, all the time.

    Just for a day, I'll slip away, 'cos there's nothin' left,
    and it's all such a mess, and I can't recall, any good times at all..

    So let love always shine on, turn the light on, till everyone goes by.
    And we'll, just stay together, make it better, all the time.

    Let love always shine on, turn the light on, till everyone goes by.
    And we'll, just stay together, make it better, all the time.

    Blue

    When I feel so insecure, and it all seems so unsure,
    and my mind is miles away.  When I'm down and can't get up,
    and I've just run out of luck, and there's nothing else to say,
    And all the while, you keep me holding on. 
    Though I feel like my life is nearly gone.

    And when life seems so absurd, and eveyone has heard,
    'bout something you should die for. So scary though it seems,
    that you live your life in dreams, and there's nothing left to cry for.

    Though I look at you, and know that you're the one, 
    all I want to say is that is: 'our lives have just begun'.

    Junk

    Why can't you see, that this is how our love was meant to be?
    I'll never understand why your putting me down, ruining everything.
    And when I'm looking into your eyes, I see someone I've grown to despise.
    There isn't any point in me, hanging around living the life I live.

    I told you once but you misunderstood, I never gave up, though I did all I could.
    I can't belive what you're putting me through, I did all I had to do.

    Just when it's out of reach, everybody needs to love,
    That's how it's got to be, what everybody wants is love,
    No turning back on me, everybody's got to love,
    That's how it's got to be, it's too late now and
    you've got to be.

    Hard to belive, the way you always try to decieve.
    There isn't any point in me, hanging around,
    I'm sick of the way I feel.  Am I the only one who'll regret,
    the things you always try to forget?
    Why is it always life ends up dragging you down, colouring everything.

    I told you once but you misunderstood, I never gave up, though I did all I could.
    I can't belive what you're putting me through, I did all I had to do.

    Just when it's out of reach, everybody needs to love,
    That's how it's got to be, what everybody wants is love,
    No turning back on me, everybody's needs to love,
    That's how it's got to be, it's too late now and
    you've got to be.

    Just when it's out of reach, everybody needs to love,
    That's how it's got to be, what everybody wants is love,
    No turning back on me, everybody's needs to love,
    That's how it's got to be, it's too late now and
    you've got to be.

    Just when it's out of reach, everybody needs to love,
    That's how it's got to be, what everybody wants is love,
    No turning back on me, everybody's needs to love,
    That's how it's got to be, it's too late now and
    you've got to be.

    Billy Bones

    Each day I live, I have so much to say.
    The words don't flow as good as they should.

    Each day I live, is such a game to play.
    I'll take my time and give it a chance today,

    I don't know why, I seem to fall to these things.
    But love can't live then just disappear.

    I'll try to speak, there is so much to say.
    But words don't flow as good as they should.

    Happy Jack

    I'm not proud of what I've done, broke the rules up just for fun.

    It's gotta be easier than what it was before.
    I could walk a million miles, with nobody by my side,
    It's gotta be easier than it ever was before.
    So I'm walking out the door forever.

    So just wait, till I'm far and out of sight, you have your life I'll have mine.

    It's gotta be easier than what was before.  
    I've got nowhere left to hide, feel this emptiness inside,
    It's gotta be easier than it ever was before.
    So I'm walking out the door forever.

    Couldn't ever bring myself to decieve,
    but it's all the same to me,
    it was never meant to be,
    and I guess it'll be the same for everyone,

    So just wait, till I'm far and out of sight, you have your life I'll have mine.

    It's gotta be easier than what was before.
    I've got nowhere left to hide, feel this emptiness inside,
    It's gotta be easier than it ever was before.
    So I'm walking out the door forever.

    Tender

    Don't play with me, unless it's for real,
    Don't stay with me, unless it's for real.

    All I had, was one sure thing,
    In my life, I lost it all,
    But I just couldn't see, a reason to belive,
    if only I could try and start again.
    In my mind I live in California,
    In my mind I spent some time with you,
    I watch the sun light up the ocean,
    and sit and pray that all my dreams come true.

    So don't play with me, unless it's for real,
    So don't stay with me, unless it's for real.

    Here I stand, and here I fall,
    a clear blue sky looks down on me,
    and this once tender man has done the best he can,
    but just can't a way, to start again,
    In my mind I live in California,
    In my mind I spent some time with you,
    I watch the sun light up the ocean,
    and sit and pray that all my dreams come true.

    So don't play with me, unless it's for real,
    So don't stay with me, unless it's for real.

    I'll take a chance, give me one more try,
    a second glance, make me realise,
    that all I need, is a master plan.
    to find a woman that can understand.

    So don't play with me, unless it's for real,
    So don't stay with me, unless it's for real,
    So don't play with me.

    Under the Stars

    I'm high on a hill.  I watch as the day begins,
    It seems such a thrill, I'll never come down.
    I sit here and wait, just dreaming my life away.
    And though I try and hide the pain, some things are never gonna change.

    So let the violence begin, if we can fight then we can win.
    We'll share the love that's in our hearts and in our souls.

    So let the violence begin, if we can fight then we can win.
    We'll share the love that's in our hearts and in our souls.

    So let the violence begin, if we can fight then we can win.
    We'll share the love that's in our hearts and in our souls.

    I'll take my time.  Think about everything,
    And the fool on the hill, can't take any more.
    And now that I know, I swear I'll never let you go
    But the sunshine brings the rain, and then it's time to start again.

    So let the violence begin, if we can fight then we can win.
    We'll share the love that's in our hearts and in our souls.

    So let the violence begin, if we can fight then we can win.
    We'll share the love that's in our hearts and in our souls.

    And now I'm all alone with you.  Oh, yes, that's why I'm so alone and blue.
    I feel like dying.  I feel like dying.
    No matter what I do or say, I'm gonna do it to you anyway.
    I feel like dying.  I feel like dying.

    So let the violence begin, if we can fight then we can win.
    We'll share the love that's in our hearts and in our souls.

    So let the violence begin, if we can fight then we can win.
    We'll share the love that's in our hearts and in our souls.

    Bicycle Thief

    There's a place that means so much to me in my life,
    Where I know that I was never meant to go.
    Maybe one day I will find a way, to let it go.

    Should I take a chance, and run away from my life?
    Never wanting to accept the truth I know?
    So I might say, goodbye one day, just let it go.

    It's not easy to belive the words that you say,
    But I guess that's just the way the story goes.
    Watching you cry, I know I'll try, to let it go.

    Just let it go.

    Shattered

    It was in California this place I work.
    I used to work on a morning.
    Then in the afternoon it got very hot
    so I I'd go and lie on the beach.
    And then I'd work again in the evening.
    And I'd maybe work 'till about ten 'o clock
    or eleven 'o clock, then I'd go for a drink you see.

    In California the bars don't close until two,
    which seems to me, in a way the ideal hour.
    If you're going to close them at all, the ideal hour.
    Because in a way, it's not too late.
    And you can make up your mind about whether you go
    at 2 'o clock or 4 'o clock.

    'Cos anyway you can do that, you know work,
    I seem to work.  In London you can't, you see,
    because if you want to go out for a drink,
    ....got tartan on the walls...
    each drink used to cost about a pound, it's just different...

    Thrashing Drum/Guitar/Bass part - no speaking.  

    Now I mean ah, he's just a musician, you see, in London, em,
    And we were talking about America as a matter of fact...
    He said he didn't like it really...
