Advice for the Young at Heart
Soon we will be older
When we gonna make it work?
To many people living in a secret world
While they play mothers and fathers
We play little boys and girls
When we gonna make it work?
- Always In The Past

Smoke stains on your fingertips
Made for life is no big deal
When there's something behind you that just doesn't fit

And I can't stop thinking
Always in the past
- Ashes to Ashes
Do you remember a guy that's been

Oh happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed love
- Badman's Song
Heard every word that was said that night
When the light of the world put the world to right

Where an ear to the wall was a twist of fate
I will shine a blinding light
Through those hearts as black as night

Life, mama says

So those are my dreams
And these are my eyes
Stand tall like a man
Head a strong like a horse

Better break it down
In the world of secrets

My life, nothing was easy till now
Hope like the morning will paint the dawn

And shine a light on me
Draw back the curtains and smile
Everything's wow!

28 days of rain
Flash floods in February

The coldest shoulder cast in metal
Frozen to the bone

Thought that I was warm like mother, lover, brother
Brother, she was wrong

Some are bound

Melt in your arms

We will sing

You always said you were the compassionate one
But now you’re laughing at the sun
With all your high class friends you think you’ve got it made
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 song
Here on the stage
The time has come
With the strains of "Be my angels!", of rock in two four

That we've been playing forever
Till the time maybe right to say goodbye
My voice is aching, I'm tongue tired
And the sounds we are making are so uninspired
- Head Over Heals

And gentle persuasion
Im lost in admiration could I need you this much
- Head Over Heels
I wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face

You keep your distance with a system of touch
And gentle persuasion
Im lost in admiration could I need you this much
- I Believe
I believe that when the hurting and the pain has gone
We will be strong, Oh yes we will be strong
And I believe that if I'm crying while I write these words
Is it absurd? Or am I being real
I believe if you knew just what these tears were for
They would just pour like every drop of rain
That's why I believe it is too late for anyone to believe.
- I Choose You
I knew all of this was coming
Ain't that odd
Some things come out of nothing

Not my intention to amuse
Or confuse
I've been down to the kitchen
- I know this much is true
Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
So true funnyy how it seems

This is the sound.
I bought a ticket to the world,
- Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams
I dream of heaven
I dream of heaven

And the lovetrain rides from coast to coast

Could you be, could you be squeaky clean
- Killing With Kindness
Don't cry for me my baby, don't say a word

You're sinking a line without a trace
With elegant crimes against the state
- Ladybird
Tell me a story of mind over matter
The hope and the glory of life ever after
The sound and the fury the cloak and the dagger
Days when we sink like a stone
Porcelain portraits and silver medallions
Plasticine soldiers that march in battalions
Angels of mercy and lifelong companions
- Laid So Low
Chewed the bone down too low
Got fed on tea and sympathy

What a fool I've been to have
Laid so low for so long, so low

Tired of this elegant life
With the best will in the world

There's been some knocking
There's been some heavy knocking
It sounds like someone wants to break down the door

Lord of karma, your mystic-pain-o-rama
One good reason, keep my feet on the ground and I say:
Lord of karma, your mystic-pain-o-rama

Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races

And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression

Yesterday
All the lights were shining on the love we made
Out of sight was out of mind, a dream away

You got me so believing in your masterplan (ah ah ah)
You walk me through my future like some superman (ah ah ah)
Tell me things that God alone should know
- Memories Fade

Time will swallow your precious time
Like magic create the future

Through dark days of struggle?

Baby your deal is surreal just like lightning, streakin' on
Heaven still is a state of mind, where did we go wrong?

Went up in smoke

By the skin of your teeth
You'll be under their thumb
- Pale Shelter

How can I be sure?
When you don't give me love
- Please Be Happy
Please be happy

In this state of melancholy
Curled up in your chair
Please don't worry

As the glass
You dropped and smashed
- Queen Of Compromise
it's no ordinary mind

you don't have to take my side
but these arms are open wide

When the seventh of the seventh son
Comes along and breaks the chains

Raoul, raoul, raoul and the kings of spain

Well, the streets have started burning

Well, to hell with my immunity
Gonna hold you close
'Til the shadows disappear

This is a garden, this is a steeple

And we can keep it unfurled
And pay no attention

Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I can do without
Come on, I`m talking to you, come on

In black and white, they really really ought to know
Those one track minds that took you for a working boy

Bathe in another man's grave

Save all your thoughts for these days

But a hard act to follow
If I fly high like a moth to a flame

Daylight Saved
Daylight Saved
To spite the dark
In spite of the darkness

To get to the heart
In spite of the darkness

High time we made a stand
And shook up the views of the common man
And the lovetrain rides from coast to coast

And smash any hope of democracy?
As the headline says you're free to choose
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes
- Standing On The Corner Of The Third World
Man, I never slept so hard

Like mussels in a shells
Rolling and controlling all the basements and the backroads of our lives
Fill their dreams with big fast cars
Fill their heads with sand
Holy white we'll paint the town

Go slow when we're dancing for rain

It's a sad affair
When there's no one there
He calls out in the night
And it's so unfair
At least it seems that way
When you gave him his life
And all this time he's been getting you down

A waking world of innocence
So grave those first born cries
When live begins with needles and pins
It ends with Swords and Knives

Your blade fits like a glove
When forged in steel

And I can die
But I can't hide
From you

As to laugh and laugh

Could you see my Pain
Could you please explain

You know that I can't love you more
You know that I can't love you more

Watch their breath and feel the cold
Raise you hand, bite you tongue
Conversation is over and done

The way you are

That I've
Been told
Can rearrange
My world
My doubt

Heaven comes to he who waits
But I know I'm getting nowhere
And all the deeds of yesterday
Have really helped to pave my way
Though there's no one near me now
How come everyone can touch me
You see the tortule on my brow
Relates to neither here nor now

Reversed speech
Broken, broken, broken, broken
Broken, broken
Between the searching and the need
To work it out

When in love with a blind man

And you watch yourself burn

You love on your own
- Who You Are
Someone's drinking all alone

Someone's let the genie in
I don't suppose, no I don't suppose
You know who you are

Could you be wrong
Could you be wrong
To choke on the smoke and the drunkenness
Drowning in sorrow with each breath

A cigarette smoker
You have a good time

You better love loving and you better behave
You better love loving and you better behave

- Year Of The Knife
Hallelujah, the king is dead. He said
"Love was the knife "
And now he'll dream some magic queen might try and save his life
They say his famous final words
Came from the heart of the man
He made his bed on love denied
He played Jeckyll and Hyde till the day he died
Too late for the young gun
