- a light
Follow stars when your lips don't touch the sounds
We wanna make it with our two feet on the ground
I can't get started, I'm feeling open hearted
Can you hear me now?
We make believe, but we leave everything behind
Taking for granted all the beauty, but never mind
We're only dreamers, plan makers and schemers
- Boxes
As a child with ocean eyes I smiled
At a world existing just for me ;
Without boxes, borders or boundaries
I built dreams ;
But like plastic building blocks
They were knocked down the ground
I grew up
To a world of compromise
- Echo
I was holding
I was holding out for me
Feeling closed in
A Titanic lost at sea
I was frozen
As the truth was sinking in
Just a cry for help
Desperate to be heard
- falling in love
All of me
You found your way to all of me
And, helplessly, I've fallen like a child
Hopelessly, I'm hoping you're the one for me
You comfort me
Withy every certain smile
But we have only just begun
- Generation Spent
Looking out at the emptiness of faces
Makes me wonder what a wonder world this is
Is this another generation lost in the darkness ?
Everybody is someone else's opinion
I don' wanna be a victim of this culture
More prey for a people to dispose of
- Genration Spent
Looking out at the emptiness of faces
Makes me wonder what a wonder world this is
Is this another generation lost in the darkness ?
Everybody is someone else's opinion
I don' wanna be a victim of this culture
More prey for a people to dispose of
Anytime I try and come to some conclusion
- Hallo. Alone
Hello, Alone, it's you and me again,
How can we pretend we've never met?
Hello, Alone you might as well come in,
We've been making bets for so long now.
I never told you that I want you,
I thought I had you out of my head,
But every time she leaves me, refusing to believe me,
- I Love Your Smile
Darling, I hate to see you so angry with the world
If people want a piece of you
Then they're missing something for themselves.
Maybe it's selfish of me to look at you an say
"Come back to me girl I love and I'll stay"
Cause I love your smile
Yes I love your smile
- I'm a Man yes I'am
Well my pad is very messy
and there's whiskers on my chin
and I'm all hung up with music
and I always play to win.
And I ain't got time for lovin'
'cause my time is all used up.
Just a sittin' round creatin'
all that groovy kind of stuff.
- In Your Hand
Mother,
I've gotta get out of here
So I can save our family
From this poverty
And when I make my money
I'll send it back to you
Father,
- In Your Hands
Mother,
I've gotta get out of here
So I can save our family
From this poverty
And when I make my money
I'll send it back to you
Father,
- Just Sayin'
We sat with your cup half full
Talking through the night
About the wrongs and rights that he’s making
In the background I heard Bobby playing
Just sayin’
“So-so” were the words you chose
Throwing hands in the air
Expressing all the ways that he’s bailing
- Kick the bucket
If you say this is pop
To be singing to a tune with a rhythm like this
Would it be so unpopular
For a singer like me to be bringing up the fact
That we're all gonna go
Some people swear, they say they know where.
For me it's a mystery.
But which ever way you see it you have to admit it and live it and live it !
- Lately
Lately, I've been thinking,
This could be another soundtrack to your life
Seems like you know the script by heart
The curtains, haven't opened,
But I've been watching everybody play the part
Think I'll stick around to see what happens
Give an inch and you take a mile
- Lift Me Gently
If this river be my death bed,
Made by the madness of this man,
And my words to him be thank you,
Would the heavens understand?
All my life I’ve been a good girl,
Every night I’ve said my prayers
And I hope that Jesus heard me
- Like A Hobo
I’ve always known
Since I was a young boy
In this world, everything’s as good as bad
Now my father told me always speak a true word
And I have to say that is the best advice I’ve had
Because something burns inside of me
It’s everything I long to be
And lies they only stop me from feeling free
- My Life As A Duck
They laugh at me and my life
My life as a duck ;
But I don't get worked up -
It's my life as a duck
You may think this is funny ;
You may think I had bad luck ;
Or did you think that I was stuck,
- my name
I won't apologise for the mess that you're in
I'm gonna hide my eyes from your crimson sin
No sacrifice can make atonement again
The blood is on your hands ; you should be ashamed
You won't forget my name
You won't forget my name
So now I say goodbye and this is to you, I pledge ;
- She Went Quietly
There's really not so much to tell.
She was 29, showing signs of doing well
for herself.
She never spoke of feeling sad.
Was, oh, so close with the family and friends
she had around her.
- Summertime Here All Year
It’s too hot and we’re ready to burn
It takes a big mistake before a lesson is learned.
It’s too late to turn back the time.
The weatherman has fallen through a hole in the sky.
And he’s long gone, yes, he’s long gone,
And there’s no way that he’s coming back.
We’re too slow, beaten by the heat
- The Great Conversation
Guten Abend, Herr Beethoven
With these words I've interwoven inspiration from Moonlight
Since you parted much has changed but your melodies remain
Like flamingos in full flight
Please forgive me and be assured I'm only using all your chords
To illustrate that nothing's ever new
But it seems these days there's very little left that people have to say
As they pay for emperor's new clothes
- Tongue Tied
Now's my chance, here in France, I've gotta give it a go.
How do you say I'm happy ? Estoy feliz contigo ? No ! No !
Désolé mon français est un petit peu confus
Possible que tout le temps si j'essaie
Hablo poco spanish - another stupid english boy !
Anyway, if I say "si j'essaie" donc, I do
Je voudrais que tu saches en français :
- Unlike Me
You don't stop,
Day to day,
Up and down,
Picking up,
No one ever sees.
Memories take a toll,
Old wounds never go.
Look ‘n see
- You won't forget my name
I won't apologise for the mess that you're in
I'm gonna hide my eyes from your crimson sin
No sacrifice can make atonement again
The blood is on your hands ; you should be ashamed
You won't forget my name
You won't forget my name
So now I say goodbye and this is to you, I pledge ;
- Сalling me
I heard you calling me
As I was swept away deeper into the sea
In love, I missed it's treachery ; swimming free
An in one breath a twist of fate made history
Mother nature took me in
She swept me under then I knew this was my end
My whole life flashed in front of me, so suddenly
And sinking down I knew I still could hear your scream !
