While they play mothers and fathers
We play little boys and girls

Oh happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed love
Badman's SongHeard every word that was said that night

Through those hearts as black as night

I did not have the time
Closest Thing To Heaven28 days of rain
Flash floods in February
Back in our boats again
Bath water and the baby

Frozen to the bone

What a sinker, sinking like a stone

Fish Out Of WaterYou always said you were the compassionate one
But now you’re laughing at the sun

The only thing you made was that tanned look on your face
With all your cigarettes and fancy cars
You ain’t a clue who or what you are
You’re dreaming your life away
Goodnight songHere on the stage
The time has come
With the strains of "Be my angels!", of rock in two four

And the sounds we are making are so uninspired
Head Over HealsI wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather

They would just pour like every drop of rain
That's why I believe it is too late for anyone to believe.

Killing With KindnessDon't cry for me my baby, don't say a word

With elegant crimes against the state
LadybirdTell me a story of mind over matter

"Love was the knife "
And now he'll dream some magic queen might try and save his life

He played Jeckyll and Hyde till the day he died
Too late for the young gun
