The Killing Time
05:42
|
|||
|
I’m taking a trip to Espresso Square
Through the streets damp with despair
I see the man who thinks he’s cool
Who the hell is he trying to fool?
And he turns to a girl who can’t be heard
She stands like a man and says the word
It’s getting closer and closer still
As they all move in, in for the kill
I go to the bar and I buy a drink
I search my feelings and I try to think
Whatever happened to my tearful joy?
Of all the times when I was just a boy
No fate or fortune in this world
But I still dream of what I’ll never hold
Wealth money power and greed
Owning all he things I’ll never need
And there’s tragedy in the news today
Life seems to be the price that paid
And heads will roll for the cock ups made
And a Thousand people left feeling betrayed
And I feel as if I’m not even worth a dime
I’m told you got yours and I got mine
In a world diseased and riven with crime
We’re all moving toward the killing time
And there’s scandal in the news today
Another politician’s got himself laid
With a cheap little tart on the game
His loving wife left feeling betrayed
And I feel as if I’m not even worth a dime
I’m told you got yours and I got mine
In a world diseased and riven with crime
We’re all moving toward the killing time
I sit in the corner alone with my thoughts
Counting all the battles that I’ve ever fought
And then I hear my name and I turn my head
And try to figure if I’d be better of dead
And I look at the man with hatred in his eyes
As he turns to strike me I just paralyse
The pain grows greater and greater still
As they all move in, in for the kill
And there’s sensation in the news today
The country’s falling into decay
Our pathetic leaders looking so grey
Leaving us all feeling betrayed
And I feel as if I’m not even worth a dime
I’m told you got yours and I got mine
In a world diseased and riven with crime
We’re all moving toward the killing time

Show Me

Give me today
So that I might live for tomorrow
Give me your love
So that I might ease your sorrow
And I know that you’re feeling down
By your worried frown
And I know that you’re feeling low
And I was the last to know
Feel these tears
So that they might burn your skin
Feel the warmth
So that my heart might beat again
And I know that it’s getting late
My heart my body aches
And I know that you’re feeling alone
And that you should have known
That I’m here for you
I’m here for you
Show me some faith
So that I might believe in you
Show me your heart
So that I might trust in you
And I know that it’s turning cold
It’s time your story was told
And I know that it’s getting light
But everything going to be alright
I’m here for you
I’m here for you
I’m here for you
I’m here for you
Show me some faith
Show me some faith
Show me some faith
Show me some faith

Laugh Clown Laugh
04:34
|
|||
|
This is your entrance, this is your cue
Make ’em laugh now, the rewards are so few
Is it a curse your talent to amuse?
Or is it the star billing this life you choose?
For you will give and they will take
The more you give the more they take
For you will give and they will take
The more you give the more they take
They’ll run with you while they can keep the pace
And bask in the image of your shining face
Yours’ is the glory, your head’s in the clouds
But who cares if you are lonely among the adoring crowds
For you will give and they will take
The more you give the more they take
For you will give and they will take
The more you give the more they take
Laugh clown laugh for yours is centre stage
Laugh clown laugh before they turn your page
They gad at your body and tear at your soul
Each wants a little bit more of the whole
You need some loving from each and everyone
To feed your lonely heart when all is past and gone
For you will give and they will take
The more you give the more they take
For you will give and they will take
The more you give the more they take
Laugh clown laugh for yours is centre stage
Laugh clown laugh before they turn your page
Laugh clown laugh the more you give the more they take
Laugh clown laugh the more you give the more your heart will ache
Laugh clown laugh and the world will laugh with you
Cry clown cry and you will cry alone

The Morning After
04:47
|
|||
|
Everybody’s face fades as yours starts to glow
I trip over each tired line as my ego starts to grow
Like a breath of fresh air you breeze right through me
How I wish you’d be mine but I guess that’ll never be
My words stumbled out so wrong
Saying I’ve loved you so long
If I only knew when to stop but this could be my only chance
I have to tell you how I feel as you shy away from my cheap advance
What’s wrong with me I slur I must sound so insecure
But I’ve never meet someone so beautiful with a mind so pure
My words stumbled out so wrong
Saying I’ve loved you so long…so long
My body aches as I raise my head why does it have to be this way
Recollections starting to drift into the cold light of day
I remember looking into your eyes they seemed so cool
My intoxicated stammers just made me look a fool
My words stumbled out so wrong
Saying I’ve loved you so long
The mists of last night start to lift from the dark
As a tidal wave of memories come flooding, racing back
How can I face you again now you’ve turned me down?
Did I go too far am I just a foolish clown?
My words stumbled out so wrong
Saying I’ve loved you so long
And I know it sounds absurd
But I meant every single word
And the only thing I want from you
Is a chance for me to prove it true
And I know it sounds absurd
But I meant every single word
And the only thing I want from you
Is a chance for me to prove it true

Come Back To Me
03:25
|
|||
|
As I drop my head and gaze at my feet
A cigarette packet floats down the street
Just a futile thought drifting through my head
And I can't believe our love is dead
I look to the skies and see black and red
And I think of all the stupid things that I said
And I think of the time when you said goodbye
But I can't remember you telling me why
Why don't you come on back to me
I need you here by me
Why don't you come on back to me
Coz I love you can't you see
Do you remember those romantic times
When I treated you to some roses and wine
We laughed and loved the whole night long
And now you're telling me that the love is gone
You told me that our love was a farce
And I was just a kid in an adults mask
And you said that I spent my life in a dream
And things ain't as bad as bad as they seem
Why don't you come on back to me
I need you here by me
Why don't you come on back to me
Coz I love you can't you see
Why don't you come on back to me
I need you here by me
Why don't you come on back to me
Coz I love you can't you see

If Love Is A Crime
03:41
|
|||
|
I got to get out; I’ve got to get away
I can’t stand the things I hear you say
You have to destroy ‘cause you can’t create
And carry on filling this world with hate
But if love is a crime I’ll do the time
I just can’t get you out of my head
Whatever you say, I can’t stay away
I just can’t get you out of my head
Why is it always what you wanna do?
When I’m running from myself and not from you
You never seem to want to compromise
But I always given in when I look into your eyes
But if love is a crime I’ll do the time
I just can’t get you out of my head
It must be a sign that I’m losing my mind
I just can’t get you out of my head
I remember we used to dance all night
Talk and love until the morning light
But thoughts of the past won’t change a thing
And thinking of you puts my head in a spin
But if love is a crime I’ll do the time
I just can’t get you out of my head
For all the times I was feeling fine
I just can’t get you out of my head
But if love is a crime I’ll do the time
I just can’t get you out of my head
Whatever you say, I can’t stay away
I just can’t get you out of my head
If love is a crime I’ll do the time
I just can’t get you out of my head
It must be a sign that I’m losing my mind
I just can’t get you out of my head
If love is a crime I’ll do the time
I just can’t get you out of my head
For all the times I was feeling fine
I just can’t get you out of my head

My Nila Tequila
03:43
|
|||
|
I met her in a bar in Texas
She sat alone minding her own business
Then she caught my eye and called me over
I wasn’t drunk but I wasn’t sober
She said her name was Nila
As she sipped her Tequila
An insatiable diva
And now I’m a believer, yeah
Oh my Nila
We left the bar to go for a drive
I’d never felt so alive
And with the cutest smile she looked in to my eyes
Then she slipped her between the top of my thighs
Oh Nila Tequila
An insatiable diva
And now I’m a believer
I could never ever leave her, no.
Oh my Nila
We spent the night just making love
Whatever I did it wasn’t enough
So we went through the night all the way ‘till dawn
And I gave her all I had and more
Oh Nila Tequila
An insatiable diva
And now I’m a believer
I could never ever leave her
Oh Nila Tequila
An insatiable diva
And now I’m a believer
I could never ever leave her
I could never leave her
Oh my Nila Tequila
Oh my Nila
Oh my Nila

Adrift in a sea of lonely hearts that cry
All yearning for the reasons why
I feel like I’m a million miles away
And everything seems to be in my way
So I’ll drive
Drive away from here
And I’ll drive
Drive away from here
Will I ever escape the ghost of you?
Haunting my world while you hide from view
Knowing you I’d rather be alone
So I’ll go on searching for a brand new home
So I’ll drive
Drive away from you
And I’ll drive
Drive away from you
So I’ll drive
Drive away from here
So I’ll drive
Drive away from you
So I’ll drive
Drive away from you

Stuck On You
03:09
|
|||
|
You kept messing with my mind
That’s why I left you behind
One day you were in love with me
The next I was bad company
I was so stuck on you
I’ve moved on to something new
I was so stuck on you
Now I got nothing to lose
You used to say everything was fine
Then you’d flip and were so unkind
And you kept me hanging on
It went on for far too long
I was so stuck on you
I’ve moved on to something new
I was so stuck on you
Now I got nothing to lose
I was a fool, that’s for sure
That’s why I couldn’t take anymore
I knew I wasn’t your only one
And that’s when I knew we were done
I was so stuck on you
I’ve moved on to something new
I was so stuck on you
I guess I got nothing to lose
I’ve so had it with you
I’m moving on to something new
I’m so done with you
I guess I got nothing to lose

Invisible
03:01

Typists typing, call centres calling
Politicians preaching, your empire’s falling
Policemen policing, dustmen collecting
Posties posting, your systems failing
We are invisible
We’re all invisible
We are invisible
We’re all invisible
Banker’s bonus, accountants counting
Directors directing, your empires falling
Parachute payments, online statements
Taxing or axing, your systems failing
We are invisible
We’re all invisible
We are invisible
We’re all invisible
Travelling with our loved ones to the end of our lives
Riding this ride until we die
Taking different paths leading different lives
We’re all invisible alone with our pride
Shopkeepers selling, tree fellers felling
Drivers driving, your empires falling
Lovers listening, mothers crying
Beggars begging, your systems failing
We are invisible
We’re all invisible
We are invisible
We’re all invisible
