Your Selfish Ways

Stabbed in the heart, life's falling apart
Never look back, but I don't want to
Your selfish ways will catch up one day
Never look back

I guess we just went downhill
A shame, but life is cruel
Should have known, we became so silent
I didn't ask, but I wanted to

The connection, barely worth it
I'm confused, and honestly dry
Now I'm asking master questions
It seemed natural at the time

Now my bed is free
Crushed pillows, rolled back sheets
Now the mess is mine
I can do whatever I like

We're banging our heads together
Crossed wires, we do intrude
My hopes and wishes are blasted
You dumb girl, it was never you

I guess we just went downhill
Aware of the fact we clash
No love is ever perfect
We made the effort, and now it's passed

Just Like You

There wasn't room
Inside that smoke-filled room
You were beside yourself
Not beside me

You've caught up
You believe that you've grown up
We know you thought that up, needless to say
You had your way, king for a day
You always see that you have your way

I'd suggest
If they were to be impressed
And see you at your best
It would be without me

But you never knew
What I could be without you
What I could ever do
Without you
Without you
I'd start anew
I'd take control
I could be just like you...

I Am The Murderer

Beneath the tailor's stitches
Crowds and crowds of butchers play
Hung high from the ceiling
Staring at it, wondering how...

No tree, no wall can stop their hell
No snake, no trick is accounted for

I am the murderer

Complete this fatal moment
While you're twisted and ready
For duty calls: you are the bravest of all men

No suit, no shoe can hide the smell
No snake, no trick is accounted for

I am the murderer

I'm clean of consequence
I'm niggling, shameful, guilty
I'm tempted, I'm hungry

Instinct to kill

My will has dropped, and I want it with a passion
I'm lead by the weapon and it's red for hire

But I'm clean of consequence

I am the murderer

Jukebox Heart

Don't you speak to her like that
She's just a crazy, mad girl with a jukebox heart
Punching, whirring, singing tunes that take her head apart
But that doesn't mean that she can stop
It's all screwed tight as a knot

So you adjust your sight, and press the buttons right

Folie

Something that you said is living in my head
Grows nightly inside me
And though my dream exists, memory persists
To fight me, despite me
Silver words you spoke, under your breath
Making whirlwinds in my head

'There is a light shining for you', he said,
'That doesn't shine here for me too', he said

So passion echoes doubtfully
And falls against the walls of my dream
Through open pores, tiny trickles to the sea

The story as is read is hanging by a thread
Tread lightly, slightly, so lightly
And, leaving me exposed, the folie I proposed
Has fooled me, ruled me, ridiculed me
Silver words ' spoke, under my breath
Making whirlwinds in my head

'Do they really deserve you?', he said
'Have my words really fooled you?', he said

And passion echoes doubtfully
And falls against the walls of my dream

One Way Or Another

You say you're not going anywhere
Does that mean time is the conjurer here?
I'm sold, but I'm paid for
By our old friend fear

Unacceptable to do exactly what I feel
When every fibre compels me to reveal

My love can imagine questions and answers
One way or another can reveal

'Cause there's nowhere I can see a sign
Inscribed for me with fate's design

And if I've learnt something
It's back to this moral code
Gestured split direction
Along the same old road

My love can imagine questions and answers
One way or another can reveal

'Cause there's nowhere I can see a sign
Inscribed for me with fate's design
For everything there's a price to pay
But do we ever realize the day?

My love can imagine questions and answers
One way or another

No-one In The World

No-one in the world ever had a love as sweet as my love
Nowhere in the world could there be a boy as true as you, love

Summer Rain

Where are the flowers?
Where are the bees?
Where is the blossom that grows on the trees?
Fruits of the summer ain't as ripe as they ought to be
The grass in the park just ain't as green

Where are the people in sandals and shorts
Eating al fresco at Sanchez D'Amour?
Look at the clouds: they are black as the night
Sack the weatherman, 'cause he didn't get it right

In summer it's raining

The Girl With The Fairytale Dream

Care - I know you want to care
Love - I know you really love
That someone is waiting: the girl with the fairytale dream

Touch - I know you gently touch
Fear - you have no need to fear
That someone is waiting: the girl with the fairytale dream

Share - I know you long to share
Need - you've had your time alone
That someone is waiting: the girl with the fairytale dream

Some Love Will Remain Unsaid

When you feel the need
When the heart unfolds
When you've thought it through
When the hurting stops
Will you think of me?

If you called my name
Asked the time of day
Caught my parting words
Had something good to say
Would you think of me?
Would you think of me?

Of all the moods that I've been through
Of all the things I'd thought I'd do
I'll keep on trying
Keep on dying
To be seen by you

If you feel in need
Of a hand to hold
And you've thought through
How it all unfolds
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you

On The Horizon

Jennifer... where do you go at night?
Is no-one there to hold you tight?
Above your head I see a golden ball
And it catches light from all around you

Jennifer says she'll be back when she's older
She's fixing her wings just to fly
Leaves me a note on her beautiful paper
Fixing her wings just to fly

Closer still, I hear a melody
Singing loud and clear, above the trees
Like a siren's call, away on a distant boat
Like a memory that breaks you in two

Jennifer says she'll be back when she's older
She's fixing her wings just to fly
Leaves me a note on her beautiful paper
Fixing her wings just to fly

Touched On Every Side

How should I go on, without you to guide me?
I don't think I should
I don't think I should

How should I go on, without you to help me?
I don't think I should
I don't think I should

Feel me breathe
Feed me need
Breathing softly, next to me

Lost if you do
Lost if you don't
Laughing at myself

With you locked inside, my mind is a warm place
Where the air is sweet
A place where I can see

What I might become, and what I might create
With you on my side
With nothing left to fate
Everything in reach
It's all there to see

Lost in you
Lost in me
Nowhere's home
Almost free

Touched on every side, by those who would help me
I won't take their gift
For what would I give?

Show me that I'm wrong, and I'd believe
I know that you could
You know that I would

I know that I'm lost

All your own way

How is your head these days?
How does it feel?
Are you all over the place?
Deeply confused

You wanted it all your own way
Your ear won't buy all the hearsay
You wanted it all your own way
Your ear won't buy all the heresay

What lurks in you shadows? Dark
Do you see?
What once was once innocent
Now conspiracy

You wouldn't listen for your own sake
You went along by all the heresay
You wouldn't listen for your own sake
You wanted it all your own way

You could do a synapse through my brain
Put fire on my wounds and do it again
You could change the times with a miracle
Even if I die, I'd do it again

I'd do it again
I'd do it again
I'd do it again

I don't recall too much
Some faces stay....
It doesn't seem part of my life
Feel like a dream

You wanted it all your own way
Your ear won't buy all the heresay
You wanted it all your own way
You went along by all the heresay

You could do a synapse through my brain
Put fire on my wounds and do it again
You could change the times with a miracle
Even if I die I'd do it again

Even if I, even if I, even if I
Even I die, I'd do it again
Even if I, Even if I
Even if i, Even if I

I'd do it again
I'd do it again
I'd do it again
I'd do it again

*** Thanx a lot to Aaron for this one ***
