1. Voodoo Doll Sin - From the "Get Set" single (Hall)

She looks like she's been 'round the world
In a couple of days
A dead flower in her hair
And dirt on her face
And she says, "One of these days, I'll do something right."
As the lie bounces around 
In her eyes

And I may be a voodoo doll sin excuse for a man

But I know, all of my life
I'll give you endless symphonies
All through the night
I will make all your lies come true

Flying high above my head
There's a balloon
Its jagged path caught by the wind
A little too soon
And she says, "I'll be the string that gets caught in the trees."
And she smiles; all the while
And time seems to freeze

And I may be a voodoo doll sin excuse for a man

But I know, all of my life
I'll give you endless symphonies
All through the night
I will make all your lies come true

In between second thoughts
You've landed me
In pain again
But I just can't walk away
From these troubled times 
And leave you here

(In your face again)(?)

All of my life
I'll give you endless symphonies
All through the night
I will be waiting (I will be waiting)

All through the night
I 'll give you everything
All your life

(In your face again)(?)

2. Splash - From the "Get Set" single (Wild)

I could make you a superstar
I could taste the love, bite through your hair
Pushing over magazines 
I could drown your slavish body bare

And I could swim the world with you
If you want me to

Splash - never needed someone like I do
Splash - I suffocate myself inside of you
I give you everything (So you know)

Ba ba de da ba da de da

Slicin' up a mandarin (Ba ba de da ba da de da)
Let me place the pieces in your eyes
Let me fascinate you (Ba ba de da ba da de da)
Wrap your mouth around me
Say goodnight

Kind of pleasure and it holds you tight (Aaaah)
Slide a little more (Aaaah)

Splash - I never needed someone like I do
Splash - I suffocate myself inside of you
I give you everything (So you know)

Between the lines and your confusion
Nothin' ever ends
And you're disguised until the sunrise
Nothin' ever ends

Ba ba de da ba da de da

Splash - I've never needed someone like I do (Like I do)
Splash - I suffocate myself inside of you (Suffocate myself)
I give you everything

Splash
Splash
Splash

3. A Stone In The Ocean - From the "Everywhere You Go" re-release (Hall)

I lie in my room
And listen to the sound of the city
The light of the moon
The snow on the ground
Is so pretty

My friends are asleep
Not knowing a word of the secrets I keep
Nobody will care when I'm fading away - oooh

A chill to that wind
My heart's just a stone in the ocean
The accusations begin
And hopelessly, I choke on my emotions

Somebody once said, "It'll all turn out fine
If you just use your head."
Nobody will care when you're fading away - oooh

I don't think you're old enough to know
I don't think it's clear enough to see
Yeah-eah-eah

Oooooh

Yeah-eah

Oooh oooh

My friends' still asleep
Not knowing a word of the secrets I keep
Nobody will care when I'm fading away

When I'm fading away
Fading away-ay yeah

When I'm fading away

4. Runningaway - From the "Everywhere You Go" re-release (Wild)

Aaaaah aaaaah

Running away from all that I've ever been

Violent eyes
Are pointing like a finger of your truth - should I
Scratch beneath the surface?
Yesterday, my life was so on time
Not dealing with the world I've left behi-i-ind

Running away from all that I've ever been
Now that I know it's not all it could've been
Running away from all that I've ever been (eee-eee-eeen)

Dark inside
So angry when you're driven by the pain you hide
I'm sorry if I've given you a reason to deceive yourself
Believe yourself - I'm not the one I seem

Running away from all that I've ever been
Now that I know it's not all it could've been
Running away from all that I've ever been (eee-eee-eeen)

Falling down around us (Yes, I've found)
I have no place within your life (in your li-ife)

Running away from all that I've ever been

Running away from all that I've ever been
Now that I know it's not all it could've been
Running away from all that I've ever been (eee-eee-eeen)

Yes, I run
Yes, I run
Yes, I run to you

Yes, I run
Yes, I run
Yes, I run to you

Now-ow-ow

5. The Burden - From the "Can You Feel" single (Hall)

I think I've buried the key
I've lost the plot
Things got in the way
And I've lost my head again
I haven't dealt with the anger
Since the very first day I felt it
Now it blooms like a flower
Buried in your backyard

It might have been easier
If a guy was designed to withstand these things
It might have been easier
Without the burden, I can be...sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes

You say I'm over the top
Bursting with emotion
When I just can't stop
You're like a crystal lotion on my face

It might have been easier
If a guy was designed to withstand these things
It might have been easier
Without the burden, I can be...sometimes
Yeah
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes...yeah
Sometimes

5. Sydney - From the "Can You Feel" single (Hall/Singh/Watson)

I believe my fate is tied to you, my love
Nothing lies between us
Waiting for eternity to fall down like a blanket on our heads
She's leaving me behind

Don't talk to me that way
You've had your time to say
What you had to say
If you talk to me that way
My heart will bleed
You're the one I need

'Cause I gave her nothing
She left with something
Of mine

Days will come and nights will fall
A question's asked - I can't recall the meaning
See the signs through broken eyes
And listen softly to a sigh - a grieving
She's leaving me behind

Don't talk to me that way
You've had time to say
What you had to say

'Cause I gave her nothing
She left with something
Life is so easy
When you're the only one
