THREE DAYS IN A ROW

I’ve been loving you
Without you even knowing
I’ll never forget those days

Three days in a row
You were mine alone
And I haven’t seen you since that day
I’m sorry baby

Baby boy when I saw you the first time
I knew right away that you and I
Were connected in a way
I believed that there was way something more
That I could ever express in my own words
I just knew at the time
I belonged to you but it all felt so wrong
To do the things that my heart gave in
Baby I’m telling you

I’ve been loving you
Without you even knowing
I’ll never forget those days

Three days in a row
You were mine alone
And I haven’t seen you since that day
I’m sorry babe

With loads on our minds
A few goodbyes
We could never have given it a real try
But you were in my head always
And at this point of my life I just know
That if you let me back in
I won’t let go of you and me spending our lives
I just know it’s a matter of time
Before it all falls back into place
Baby believe me

I’ve been loving you
Without you even knowing
I’ll never forget those days
Three days in a row
You were mine alone
And I haven’t seen you since that day

I walk the line and for you I will shine
Just be prepared for a hell of a ride
Don’t ever doubt ‘bout the way I feel
For heaven sake boy I’m beggin’ you
I’ve been loving you
Without you even knowing
I’ll never forget those days

Three days in a row
You were mine alone
And I haven’t seen you since that day


IF I GO

You've got it easy but you've got the nerve to make a face!
Although I'm struggling you can tell because I keep a cage
We are together but I feel you pushing me aside!
Let me ahead sometime the thought won't even cross you're mind.

You need to take a good look at yourself
'cause i'm about to close up shop
If you need a servent goal find some-one else. It's time to step up..

'Cause if I go...
I'll be taking more with me than you would care to lose
The time is up, step it up before you see me walk away.
Just so you know, nothing you can do to make me turn around again.
The time is up, step it up are you see me walk away. Oh oh oh oh..

If we're together,
why you're pushing me away?
you're taking chances,
but we're getting closer to the day

You need to take a good look at yourself
'cause i'm about to close up shop
If you need a servent goal find some-one else. It's time to step up..

'Cause if I go..
I'll be taking more with me than you would care to lose
The time is up, step it up are you see me walk away.
Just so you know, nothing you can do to make me turn around again.
The time is up, step it up are you see me walk away. Oh oh oh oh..

'Cause if I go..
I'll be taking more with me than you would care to lose
The time is up, step it up are you see me walk away.
Just so you know, nothing you can do to make me turn around again.
The time is up, step it up are you see me walk away.

It's time to step up..
I said it's time to step it up.
Yeah time, to step up
Time.. to step it up
I said it's time baby.. step it up
step it up


MODERN WORLD

Crazy way to get your kicks
Shoot the silicone in your lips
If your figure makes you sad
Suck the fat right of your back
Make up your mind about your tits, girls
You can puff them up so no bra will fit girls
There's only one thing they can't fix
No I won't let you be misled
That's the whole in your head
Can do nothing 'bout that

Hail hail modern world
Hail to all you boys and girls
Hail hail the colour green
Hail hail to what I've seen
Hail hail hail this modern world

Tell her that she's beautiful
Put her on a Pedestal
But as you cook a trip or lax
Imagination kicks in
The more you think about sex boys
With someone else the better it gets boys
You have a purpose in your life
Besides cheating on the wife
For fuck sakes show some sense

Hail hail modern world
Hail to all you boys and girls
Hail hail the colour green
Hail hail to what I've seen
Hail hail hail this modern world


These days adoption is a hot thing
You can get a child for nearly nothing
You take 'em home to a nanny
Buy off your guilt with toys and candy
But all the money that you work for girls
Can't compare it to love boys
There's only one thing they can't fix
No I won't let you be misled
And that's the whole in you head
Can't do nothing about that

Hail hail modern world
Hail to all you boys and girls
Hail hail the color green
Hail hail to what I've seen
Hail hail hail this modern world


I DON'T WANNA HURT

The breaking things we can’t repair
But none of us will take the blame
No nothing can be done, this time
All the memories that we’ve made
I threw them all away
There’s no need to talk it over

Don’t let me get you down
Lets just move on
I am setting you free

Cause I don’t wanna hurt, no more
I don’t wanna make it go through one more rainy day
No I don’t wanna hurt, no more
It’s strange enough I always knew
I’m taking off today
I don’t wanna hurt, no more

The darkness you left in my soul
Do we know how much we’ve lost
Will the moon be shine in his bright as before
And his arms sing in the song
Tears well up in my eyes
And I will always wonder

Why I will never have
The life I wanted
Now I’m letting it go

Cause I don’t wanna hurt, no more
No I don’t wanna make it go through one more rainy day
No I don’t wanna hurt, no more
There’s not much more to say
It’s to late now
I won’t hurt, no more

So I wait till morning comes
Made it clear that it has been, only pain loving me
Things that we won’t do for love
I am setting you free

Cause I don’t wanna hurt, no more
No I don’t wanna make it go through one more rainy day
No I don’t wanna hurt, no more
It’s strange enough I always knew
I’m taking off today
I’m letting you go


GOOD GOD

Surely I am winning but I won't
Claiming that I'll do it but I don't
Knowing I'll do anything that you want
Pretending that I am someone that I'm not

Good God, my mind won't let me thing right
I know you're trouble
But I'm determined to create these things up in my head
That never happen
In time I've got to choose
Freedom or loyalty
Look at what you have done
What am I gonna do?

So now that you have made a mess off me
You showed me stars that I have never seen
I know it's wrong why does it feel right
You haven't got me yet, but you might

Your smiling back at me I wanna do it
I wanna be with you let me get through it
But am I gonna make it back alive
Will you show me all the things that you can doooooo

Good God, my mind won't let me thing right
I know you're trouble
But I'm determined to create these things up in my head
That never happen
In time I've got to choose
Freedom or loyalty
Look at what you have done
What am I gonna do?

Yeah

Good God, my mind won't let me thing right
I know you're trouble
But I'm determined to create these things up in my head
That never happen
In time I've got to choose
Freedom or loyalty
Look at what you have done
What am I gonna do?

Yeah yeah yeah yeahhh
Yeah yeah yeah yeahhh
yeah yeah yeah yeahhh
Yeah yeah yeah yeahhh


ONE WORD

I close my eyes
And imagine you're here
Did it all seem so hopeless
Given the chance
I would ask
Forgive me
I didn't do a thing to make you stay
I didn't say a word to make you stay
If I would have known
Could I have tried to make it easier
But I didn't do a thing
Or say a word
One word

And I don't know why you’re gone, now you’re gone
No beautiful goodbye
You will never leave my mind
And it turns out to be so much different than our dreams
Now you’re, you're a star in heaven

My thoughts unsaid
Stuck in my head
And it all feels so useless
Never forget to give all I have
Forgive me
I couldn't do a thing to make you stay
And I couldn't say a word to make you stay
If I could have known
Could I have tried to make it easier
But I couldn't do a thing
Or say a word
One word

And I don't know why you’re gone, now you’re gone
No beautiful goodbye

You will never leave my mind
And it turns out to be so much different than our dreams
Now you’re, you're a star in heaven


JERUSALEM

Sir can you tell me how to get to jerusalem,
Cuz I have kinda lost my way,
Sir will you help me get there as fast as I can,
Tomorrow might be to late,

Cuz,
The things ain't what they used to be,
My love for life is gone you see,
Am I fighting things I cannot see,
People always tellin' me how sweet and simple life could be
They say you might as well live before you die

But one thing I know for sure
I am a danger to myself, how come
Yeah one thing I know for sure
I need some guidance, to get me out of this hellhole

Jerusalem, can you help me find my way back Jerusalem

It took me quite some time to get into Jerusalem
'cause I had kinda lost my way
I want to save me from myself so here I am
I hope it's not too late

'cause things they want they used to be
My love for life is gone you see
Am I fighting things I cannot see
I am so afraid to love
'cause of the way I've been hurt before
I think by now it's time for me to leave

But one thing I know for sure
I am a danger to myself, how come
Yeah one thing I know for sure
I need some guidance, to get me out of this hellhole

Jerusalem, can you help me find my way back Jerusalem
Jerusalem, can you help me find what I have lost

Things ain't what they used to be
My love for life is gone you see
Am I fighting things I cannot see
I don't wanna die this way
Whishing that I could turn back time
Wasted time there is work to to be done


LOST

if roses are meant to be red
and violets to be blue
then why isn't my heart meant for you
my hands longing to touch you
but I can barely breathe
starry eyes that make me melt
right in front of me

lost in this world
I even get lost in this song
and when the lights go down
That is where I'll be found

his music's irresistable
your voice makes my skin crawl
innocent and pure
I guess you heard it all before

mr.Inaccessable
will this ever change
one thing that remains the same
is you're still a picture in a frame

lost in this world
I even get lost in this song
and when the lights go down
that is where I'll be found

I get lost in this world
I get lost in your eyes
and when the lights go down
that's where I'll be found

lost in this world
I get lost in your eyes
and when the lights go down
and we're the only ones


GIRL

Girl, Girl, Girl when I hear it talk, my mind get's blocked girl.
Speak up cause my jaw is locked, which is good, good for me girl.
Big hawks like a warning sign, I'm to blind to see.

Speak up yes I'm coming down with an ice cold fever(3x)
Still got my hands there clinging, so I just keep going.

I don't know where I belong, could I belong to you
No, I don't know where I belong, could I belong...

Girl, Girl, Girl when they find it's hot they say,
you see I'm burning up here.

I want to but I just can't stop and it hurts, it hurst like hell girl.

You turn me inside out and upside down
You got me head over heals

I'm stuck yes I'm coming down with an ice cold fever(3x)

Still got my hands there clinging, so I just keep going.

I don't know where I belong, could I belong to you
No, I don't know where I belong, could I belong.


BETWEEN THESE WALLS (& Junkie XL)

Between these walls I used to live, without receiving
So much that I have to give, between these walls
There were alot of things that I could, have done differently
But it ain't about the way I live, it's the heart that counts

Comfort, feed, embrace, love and protect me
Aint that what I'm here for?
You said you'd be here for me, no matter what

How come it feels so cold, everytime you step into this room?
Why does it feel so cold?
It isn't human

In the spring of '75, that's when God made a mistake
He took me here, to the wrong side
I guess you did the best you could, but never good enough
Caust it's the heart that counts

Comfort, feed, embrace, love and protect me
Aint that what I'm here for?
You said you woud die for me, remember?

How come it feels so cold, everytime you step into this room?
Why does it feel so cold?
I'm freezing

Stuck here with this broken heart
All I can do, is hoping for a full recovery
Why did you have me in the first place?
Well?

Comfort, feed, embrace, love and protect me
Comfort, feed, embrace, baby just respect me
Yeah..


How come it feels so cold everytime..
(Comfort, feed, embrace, no just respect me, just respect me..)
How come it feels so cold everytime..
(Ohh, ohh..)

Comfort, feed, embrace, baby, baby love me!
Baby love me, love me yeah, ohh love me yeah, just love me yeah, just love me yeah!


HAIL

They say that sometimes
You've got to pick up your arms and fight
For what you believe is right

Some say
That's just not the way
You will only make things worse

So I close my eyes and turn my head away
And I hope it'll be alright
Fall into a restless sleep
While so many innocent die
That's why I sing

[Chorus]
Hail to all of us
Hail to all of us down here

Maybe someday soon
When we've thought things over
We'll know what to do
But probably
There's a much bigger chance, you see
That it will all be gone

So I close my eyes and turn my head away
And I just hope it'll be alright
Fall into restless sleep
While so many others die
That's why I sing

[chorus]

New York City, London, Jericho
Jerusalem, Sydney, anywhere you wanna go
Capetown, to the moon and back again

[chorus](x2)


EVERYTHING

Now I believe that what I used to think was a lie
Is really alive
Now I can see there’s only one place to reach
Only one thing to preach and that’s the highest
It’s the strangest thing that I can feel so much

There is no reason, there is no logic to feelings
‘Cause when love is the dealer I’m addicted
So fasinated, I can’t stop this constant craving
You’re contagious
It’s the strangest thing that I can feel so much
For someone, somehow (2x)

(chorus)
And I cannot hide, even if I’d try
You mean everything to me
Any fool can see, what you’ve done to me
You mean everything to me
And when you’re not here, I just cry
And when you’re not here, I could die

The best is still to come dear
The best is still to come for us (2x)

It’s the strangest thing that I can feel so much
For someone, somehow (2x)

Chorus...


DON'T

No hurry, I'll be waiting for you My baby,
now don't you worry
I'll be fine

Just take your time
To make up your mind
Draw a line
Or flip a dime
Waiting for you

It's easy,
if you want to please me
Don't tell me maybe
Come back home complete me

No strings attached
That's a promise I can't keep
So I waste my time
With lazy crazy dreaming
A sparkling wine
A twist of lime
A whisky soda, hole in time
When you're not here

Don't say you're sorry
Don't say it
No
Don't say you're sorry


BREAKDOWN THAT WALL

Baby why are you so sad?
What's the thing your running from?
Caught in the red light.
As if money is the cure

Is this your only way to survive?
Are you trying to get even with the past
What happened to the dreams you had?
I think it's time for you, to
Show them you are able.
To leave without saying one word
I know it won't be easy, baby
But i will run with you

Cause every night has a day
Every wish has a prayer
Don't loose your faith
And I'll be holding your hand
Cause it's never too late
There's someone who needs you

So break down that wall, baby
There's a new world out there waiting
Just tear down that wall girl
Run away and don't look back
Breakdown that wall
Breakdown that wall
There's someone who needs you

Lady, it's your turn now
Just walk the streets with your head op high
Oh, baby doesn't that feel right
Put a big smile on your face, walk on straight
Yeah, tell the motherfuckers they were wrong
Isn't this your sweetest revenge?
Feels good he! I told you so

Cause every night has a day
Every wish has a prayer
Don't loose your faith
And I'll be holding your hand
Cause it's never too late
There's someone who needs you

So break down that wall, baby
There's a new world out there waiting
Just tear down that wall girl
Run away and don't look back
Breakdown that wall
Breakdown that wall
There's someone who needs you

baby
baby
oh

So, break down that wall, babe
Break down that wall babe
There's a new world out there
Tear down that wall babe
Run away, run away, run away
Breakdown that wall
Breakdown that wall
Cause I need you


MICHEL

Hey Michel how's life are you ok
I wonder if you ever think of me
It's been 9 years since that kiss
I can help but reminisce
Hey Michel do you remember

We walked the street to the beat
Hand in hand you and me
Smiling faces so in love
Hoping that they all could see
That we belonged together you and me against the world
But we found out the hard way cause it wasn't meant to be

Now it's you and her I see

You were my first and worst love
And so it only could go wrong
But ain't that just the way you learn
Hey Michel I just wanted to let you know
That someone else has stolen my heart
And now another girl has caught your eye
That doesn't mean I don't think of you
I am just hoping that she'll treat you right

Do you remember
How we walked the street to the beat
Hand in hand and you and me
Smiling faces so in love
Hoping that they all could see
That we belonged together you and me against the world
But we found out the hard way cause it wasn't meant to be

Now it is you and her I see

It was just a silly dream

Hey Michel do you remember


THE DARK

I'm walking in the park
And I'm talking to the dark
But there ain't nobody listening
My heart has turned to stone
When I found myself alone
Now all I do is whisper to the dark

There's only so much you can take
You've gotta to give yourself a break
But I don't think you're listening
If you're gonna take it all so hard
You gonna tear yourself apart
I can understand you miss him in the dark

Yeah, teach your heart how to sing get the courage again now
Yeah, take the 10:50pm train to the city
Yeah, I had a chance for romance so I do it again now

If love is no longer being served
You've got to leave the table
Mister aznavour told me, merci beaucoup
Though I miss him, got to let go
Though I miss him, got to let go
Let it go

It's about that time to leave it all behind you
You don't want to but life is passing by you
The hard knocks, got you twisted like dreadlocks
Catalogue your dark and set some new marks
I understand your body's filled with hesitation
Trust me it's gonna be a whole new situation
Turn this page I guess you know what to do
Rise up like phoenix I'm bringing out the beauty in you

Yeah, teach your heart how to sing get the courage again now
Yeah, take the 10:50pm train to the city
Yeah, I had a chance for romance so I do it again now


R U KIDDIN'ME

Sure got my piece of heaven
An angel in disguise gone wild

But I thought you were a man
Who knew right from wrong
That's why I really don't understand
Why he's with her

It's killing me
What has she got that I don't have
Is it the way she looks at you
Laughs at you, can she
Does she make you beg for more
This is hurting
What does she got that I don't have

I tried to call him
Anytime anywhere
But he's never there

So I went to his place
Waited all day
So he would explain it to me
And this is what he said

There is nothing left to say
I had my fill, I went away
Your crying eyes won't change a thing
It was just a fling
How could an angel break my heart

He said: We could still be friends

R U kiddin' me?
What has she got that I don't have
Is it the way she looks at you
Talks to you, can she
Does she make you beg for more
This is hurting
What has she got that I don't have

But twice a year
When he's in tears
When he loses his mind
And can't help but cry
He'll call me and then

I am better than I am


MOOD INDIGO

A taste of breath, a kiss sweater than honey
Your eyes in a misty dream a million miles away
And in my ear you whisper my name
Just like in some old news flash
From light years ago

Van Dyke's on the slide trombone
Through the smoke of the party room
Your teeth like the ivory coast
Start singin' my favourite song
And it happen' to be mood indigo

Mood indigo
I just go weak when I hear mood indigo
Could last for weeks until I decide to wake up
Take off my make up

Holding on to my heart
Smokin' them downhill
In a room number thirteen
Tryin' to stretch my luck again
Down the corridor your footsteps echo against the wall
My man of mystery, my date with infinity
Tonight I'm gonna sacrifice, for the first time in my life
Make it all come back to me, like an old forgotten dream

Van Dyke's on the slide trombone
Through the smoke of the party room
Your teeth like the ivory coast
Start singin' my favourite song
And it happen' to be mood indigo

Mood indigo, I just go weak when I hear mood indigo
It could last for weeks until I decide to wake up
Completely lost in my mood indigo


NOBODY'S WIFE

I'm sorry for the times that I made you scream
for the times that I killed your dreams
for the times that I made your whole world rumble

for the times that I made you cry
for the times that I told you lies
for the times that I watched and let you stumble

It's too bad, but that's me
what goes around comes around, you'll see
that I can carry the burden of pain
'cause it ain't the first time that a man goes insane
and when I spread my wings to embrace him for life
I'm suckin' out his love, 'cause I, I'll never be nobody's wife

I'm sorry for the times that I didn't come home
left you lyin' in that bed alone
was flyin' high in the sky when you needed my shoulder

you're like a stone hangin' round my neck, see
cut it loose before it breaks my back, see
I've gotta say what I feel before I grow older

I'm sorry but I ain't gonna change my ways
you know I've tried but I'm still the same
I've got to do it my own way

It's too bad, but hey, that's me
what goes around comes around, you'll see
that I can carry the burden of pain
'cause it ain't the first time that a man goes insane
and when I spread my wings to embrace him for life
I'm suckin' out his love, I, I'll never be nobody's wife

It's too bad, but hey, that's me
what goes around comes around, you'll see
that I can carry the burden of pain
'cause it ain't the first time that a man goes insane
and when I spread my wings to embrace him for life
I'm suckin' out his love, I, I'll never be nobody's wife


IT'S SO HARD

I'm just thinkin' about the child in me,
That I sometimes feel inside
And I'm figuring out just what it is
That makes me feel so small

Is it you, that hurts me when I give myself
Every day and every night
Am I too blind to see that it doesn't work out
Did I really ask too much of you baby
Do you mean to tell me that's the way it is
Do you mean to say

It's all so hard, It's so hard
It's all so hard, It's so hard

As I search for an answer, I see the clear blue sky
And I know that you're the one to blame
And I feel so naïve
When you say that our love to you was just a game
I dream, my dream, I'm sane, I'm insane
Oh, please don't, please don't speak to me that way
Do you mean to tell me that's the way it is
Do you mean to say

It's all so hard, It's so hard
It's all so hard, It's so hard
Damned it's so hard, why you're so hard
Why you're so hard, It's tearing me apart


SACRIFICE

Who's the one that makes you happy
Who's the one that always makes you laugh
Who's the reason you're smiling
And dragged you through these time, so rough

I was the one that made you happy
I was the one that eased the pain
But I'm the reason that you're crying now
My own tears scattered by the rain

You can sacrifice me
You can sacrifice me
You can set me free
You can be who you wanna be

Deeper than deep you took me on a trip baby
You shared your wildest dreams and more
You dare me to express my feelings to you
I never felt that need before

But suddenly you needed freedom
You felt the need to break free
You started drowning in your sorrow
You didn't wanna know I had the key

You can sacrifice me
You can sacrifice me
You can set me free
You can be who you wanna to be

You can sacrifice me, sacrifice me
You can be who you wanna
You can be who you wanna be
