Say goodbye
03:22
|

No telling how this came to be,
you ending up here when you didn't agree
But now that you're gone, when people fall wrong
You'll be the one who's missing the fun
No turning back to what you do,
you'll float in the air and you'll savor the view
And when you get down, just look all around,
It's all or none in what's to come
Picture so perfect you'll want to give,
so lonesome a soul, some reason to live
That's just how it goes, you and your wings exposed,
you didn't ask for the part
It's all just breaking your heart,
your will is dying and they are crying out to you
SAY GOODBYE TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS
SAY GOODBYE TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS
SAY GOODBYE TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS
AND ALL YOUR LOVERS UNTIL THE END
Who needs a myth when you're young and free
but you are the angel you're smiling at me... ohoh...
it's all just breaking your heart
Now that this time is feeling so new,
you'll know what to do, not to lose
the love you left behind

La noche inventada
02:42
|
|||
|
Miramos aburridos por el ventanal
para inventar otra vida en la misma ciudad
DIBÚJAME UNA NOCHE LLENA DE COHETES NARANJAS
YO TE DARÉ LAS ESTRELLAS Y TÚ LAS PINTARÁS DE PLATA
PÍNTALO TODO DE PLATA...
Te imagino al volante de la nave espacial
yo volaré a tu lado como Peter Pan
Déjame hacerte una foto con las nubes detrás
quiero tener algo tuyo si un día te vas
DIBÚJAME UNA NOCHE LLENA DE COHETES NARANJAS
YO TE DARÉ LAS ESTRELLAS Y TÚ LAS PINTARÁS DE PLATA
PÍNTALO TODO DE PLATA... SI NOS VAS A DEJAR

At the record company meeting, On their hands: a dead star.
And ooh, the plans that they weave, And ooh, the sickening greed.
At the record company party, on their hands: a dead star.
The sycophantic slags all say: "I knew him first, and I knew him well."
Re-issue! Re-package! Re-package! Re-evaluate the songs,
Double pack with a photograph, Extra track (and a tacky badge)
A-list, playlist, "Please them, please them, please them!",
(Sadly, this was your life)
But you could have said no, if you'd wanted to,
you could have said no, if you'd wanted to.
BPI, MTV, BBC, "Please them, please them!" (Sadly, this was your life)
But you could have said no, if you'd wanted to,
you could have walked away, couldn't you?
I touched you at the soundcheck, You had no real way of knowing.
In my heart I begged, "Take me with you. I don't care where you're going."
But to you I was faceless, I was fawning, I was boring.
A child from those ugly new houses,
Who could never begin to know, who could never really know.
Best of! Most of! Satiate the need, slip them into different sleeves!
Buy both, and feel deceived, climber, new entry re-entry.
World tour! ("Media whore!"), "Please the press in Belgium!"
(This was your life...)
And when it fails to recoup? Well, maybe:
You just haven't earned it yet, baby.
I walked a pace behind you at the soundcheck,
you're just the same as I am.
What makes most people feel happy, leads us headlong into harm.
So, in my bedroom in those ugly new houses,
I dance my legs down to the knees.
But me and my true love will never meet again...
At the record company meeting, on their hands, at last, a dead star!
But they can never taint you in my eyes, they can never touch you now.
No, they cannot hurt you my darling, they cannot touch you now,
But me and my true love will never meet again.

I just don't know what to do with myself,
don't know just what to do with myself.
I'm so used to do-ing e-verything with you,
planning everything for two.
And now that we’re through...
I just don't know what to do with my time,
I'm so lonesome for you, it's a crime.
Going to the movie only makes me sad,
parties make me feel as bad.
When I'm not with you...
I just don't know what to do.
LIKE A SUMMER ROSE,
NEEDS THE SUN AND RAIN,
OH, I NEED YOUR SWEET LOVE TO BEAT ALL THE PAIN
I just don't know what to do with myself,
I just don't know what to do with myself.
Baby, if your new love ever turns you down,
come back, I will be around,
just waiting for you...
I don't know what else to do.
(Chorus)
I don't know just what to do with myself,
I don’t know just what to do with myself.
Baby, if your new love ever turns you down,
come back, I will be around,
just waiting for you...
I don't know what else to do.
I don't know what else to do.
I'm still so crazy for you, no, no, no, no... (3)
I don't know what else to do

Thru the flowers
02:07
|
|||
|
Feel the sun burning bright, I'm cut loose out of sight
slipping thru’ shadows you won't find me, found myself all at sea
and you won't see me - no, no, and you won't see me - no, no
AND YOU WON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT TOOK TO LET YOU GO
IF I COULD ONLY MAKE YOU SEE THEN YOU COULD FOLLOW ME
THRU THE FLOWERS,
THRU THE FLOWERS
Feel the sun burning bright, I'm cut loose out of sight
singing in the daisies you won't find me, found myself lost at sea
and you won't see me - no, no, and you won't see me - no, no
(Chorus)
THRU THE FLOWERS,
THRU THE FLOWERS

Unexpected lovers
03:11
|
|||
|
How can there be no love, no feeling of passion too
The way we were dancin' love, how could it be I'm through
We spend the night together until the morning light
Baby do you remember the music in your eyes
Such an enchanting evening, a lovers romantic night
The moon and stars are leavin', the sea was glowing bright
WE WERE UNEXPECTED LOVERS
NOT JUST ORDINARY LOVERS
SHARING UNEXPECTED LOVER
MY TRUE LOVE
We love like no other lovers, like no other lovers do
The way we kissed each other and help each other too
When will we ever love again and share another night
Should we ever meet again to love each other right
We spend the night together until the morning light
Baby do you remember the music in your eyes

Sometimes
03:07
|

|
It's not the way you lead me by the hand into the bedroom
it's not the way you throw your clothes upon the bathroom floor
Been thinking about you
i just couldn't wait to see
fling my arms around you
as we fall in ecstacy
OOH SOMETIMES
THE TRUTH IS HARDER THAN THE PAIN INSIDE YEAH
OOH SOMETIMES
IT'S THE BROKEN HEART THAT DECIDES
It's not the way that you caress me toy with my affection
it's not my sense of emptiness you fill with your desire
Climb in bed beside me
we can lock the world outside
touch me, satisfy me
warm your body next to mine
OOH SOMETIMES
THE TRUTH IS HARDER THAN THE PAIN INSIDE YEAH
OOH SOMETIMES
IT'S THE BROKEN HEART THAT DECIDES

Duel
03:59
|
|||
|
Eye to eye stand winners and losers
hurt by envy, cut by greed
Face to face with their own disillusion
the scars of old romances still on their cheeks
And when blow by blow the passion dies sweet little death
just have been lies the memories of gone by time would still recall the lie
THE FIRST CUT WON’T HURT AT ALL
THE SECOND ONLY MAKES YOU WONDER
THE THIRD WILL HAVE YOU ON YOUR KNEES
YOU START BLEEDING I START SCREAMING
It’s too late the decision is made by fate
time to prove what forever should last
whose feelings are so true as to stand the test
whose demands are so strong as to parry all attempts
(Chorus x2)

The rhythm of the rain
02:22
|
|||
|
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain,
telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vein,
and let me be alone again
The only girl I care about is gone away,
looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day,
along with her she took my heart
Rain please tell me now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another when my heart is somewhere far away
The only girl I care about is gone away,
looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day,
along with her she took my heart
Rain won't you tell her that I love her so
Please ask the sun to set her heart a glow
Rain in her heart and let eh love we knew start to grow
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain,
telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vein,
and let me be alone again
Oh listen to the falling rain, pitter patter pitter patter

Deep in my heart, there's a fire burning hard,
deep in my heart, there's desire for a start.
I'm dying in emotion, it's my world in fantasy,
I'm living in my, living in my dreams.
YOU’RE MY HEART, YOU’RE MY SOUL
I KEEP IT SHINING EVERYWHERE I GO
YOU’RE MY HEART, YOU’RE MY SOUL
I’LL BE HOLDING YOU FOREVER, STAY WITH YOU TOGETHER
YOU’RE MY HEART, YOU’RE MY SOUL
YEAH, A FEELING THAT OUR LOVE WILL GROW
YOU’RE MY HEART, YOU’RE MY SOUL
THAT’S THE ONLY THING I REALLY KNOW
Let's close the door and believe my burning heart
Feeling alright, come on, open up your heart
I'll keep the candles burning, let your body melt in mine,
I'm living in my, living in my dreams
(Chorus)
YOU’RE MY HEART, YOU’RE MY SOUL
YEAH, A FEELING THAT OUR LOVE WILL GROW
YOU’RE MY HEART, YOU’RE MY SOUL
THAT’S THE ONLY THING I REALLY KNOW

Rory rides me raw
02:50

Galloping through the morning dew,
there's only one thing that I want to do to you,
And it's true, that I'm going to do it soon.
Galloping through the morning dew,
there's only one thing that I want to do to you,
And it's true, that I'm going to do it soon.
RORY, RORY, RIDE ME RORY
RORY, RORY, RIDE ME RORY
RORY, RIDE ME SLOWLY,
RIDE ME RAW RAW RAW
Galloping through the morning dew,
there's only one thing that I want to do to you,
And it's true, that I'm going to do it soon.
Stride on your back, rocking to ride,
I got the feeling we're gonna gallop alright
And it's true, that I'm going to do it soon.
(Chorus)
Galloping through the morning dew,
there's only one thing that I want to do to you,
And it's true, that I'm going to do it soon.
It'll take three to satisfy me,
'cause I'm more of a man than you'll ever be,
Rory, ride me slowly, ride me true, ride me true.
(Chorus)
RIDE ME RAW RAW RAW,
RIDE ME RAW RAW RAW RAW RAW

Somewhere in my heart
03:29
|

Summer in the city where the air is still,
a baby being born to the overkill
who cares what people say, we walk down love's motorway
Ambition and love wearing boxing gloves and singing hearts and flowers
BUT SOMEWHERE IN MY HEART
THERE IS A STAR THAT SHINES FOR YOU
SILVER SPLITS THE BLUE,
LOVE WILL SEE YOU THROUGH
AND SOMEWHERE IN MY HEART
THERE IS THE WILL TO SET YOU FREE
ALL YOU’VE GOT TO BE IS TRUE
A star above the city in the northern chill,
a baby being born to the overkill
no say no place to go, a TV and a radio
Ambition and love wearing boxing gloves and singing hearts and flowers
(Chorus)
But who could heal, what’s never been as one
And our hearts have been torn
since the day we were born just like anyone
From Westwood to Hollywood, the one thing that’s understood
is that you can’t buy time but you can sell your soul
and the closest thing to heaven is to rock and roll

Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name
And they’re always glad you came
You want to be where you can see
Your troubles are all the same
You want to be where everybody knows your name
You wanna go where people know
people are all the same
You wanna go where everybody knows your name
