"My Sweet Time"
(from "Songs From Instant Star Two" soundtrack)



[Verse 1]
Late at night hear the song spinning in my head
Heaven knows I can't sleep at all
I'm thinkin 'bout all my stuff missing my own bed
And all my friends but it's too late to call
Hanging out all day at the Holiday Inn
Waitin's such a drag until the band kicks in

[Chorus:]
I don't know where the next road goes but I feel the wheels rolling down below me
Take my sweet time
getting it back again
What matters most will carry me
Through the night to where I wanna be baby
Take my sweet time
But I'll be home again
In my own sweet time

[Verse 2]
Calling out every night and it just so good
How it works is a mystery
But I believe in my heart I'm doing what I should
With all these lost souls following
Waiting all day until let's begin
I love how it feels when the band kicks in

[Chorus:]
I don't know where the next road goes but I feel the wheels rolling down below me
Take my sweet time
Getting it back again
What matters most will carry me
Through the night to where I wanna be baby
Take my sweet time
But I'll be home again
In my own sweet time yeah

[Bridge:]
Maybe when this is over I'll understand
What I've got right here in my hands yeah
Maybe I
I'll ooh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Chorus:]
I don't know where the next road goes but I feel the wheels rolling down below me
Take my sweet time
I'm getting it back again
What matters most will carry me
Through the night to where I wanna be baby
Take my sweet time
I'll be home again

In my own sweet Time yeah yeah..
In my own sweet time yeah yeah
In my own sweet time yeah

"Natural Disaster"
(from "Songs From Instant Star Two" soundtrack)



Am I another Casualty?
In the battle you're fighting?
You're your own worse enemy,
At war with yourself, but you can't see.

And I can't stand to watch,
Your comet coming fast,
Everywhere you go it seems that lighting strikes and then you crash,
I don't know how you do it,
It always ends the same,
Everywhere you go it seems lightning strikes but there's no rain, no rain.

Feel like you're moving in slow motion,
And you don't know where you're going,
You tried it all and it's too boring,
Tighten up your grip cause it's a long way down.

And I can't stand to watch,
Your comet coming fast,
Everywhere you go it seems lighting strikes and then you crash,
I don't know how you do it,
It always ends the same,
Everywhere you go it seems lightning strikes but there's no rain.

Watching you slip away,
It's getting harder everyday,
When you're coming down like a hurricane,
I can't stand to see you in pain,
So I just look away.

I can't stand to watch,
Your comet coming fast,
Everywhere you go it seems lighting strikes and then you crash,
I don't know how you do it,
It always ends the same,
Everywhere you go it seems lightning strikes but there's no rain, no rain, no rain...

Lightening strikes but there's no rain.

"Never Love Me Back"


I was fine on my own
Now I'm leaving all alone
And you're gone
This empty home is huge
My heart feels so misused
For so long

You can go and do, do
Do what you want, want
I'm just gonna love you from afar
You can go and be, be
Be who you want, want
I'm just gonna love you from afar
And love you like you'll never love me back

Ain't it crazy
Are we wicked and wild?
I can love you, I don't need to disguise
Ain't it stupid, useless
It's just the way it's supposed to be
I don't need you, just the memories
Don't have a heart attack
When I love you like you'll never love me back
When I love you like you'll never love me back

This is not me rolling dice
No, we can't go through it twice
We were wrong
There is no need to compromise
When I saw it in your eyes
It was done

You can go and do, do
Do what you want, want
I'm just gonna love you from afar
You can go and be, be
Be who you want, want
I'm just gonna love you from afar
And love you like you'll never love me back

Ain't it crazy
Are we wicked and wild?
I can love you, I don't need to disguise
Ain't it stupid, useless?
It's just the way it's supposed to be
I don't need you, just the memories
Don't have a heart attack
When I love you like you'll never love me back
When I love you like you'll never love me back

In a different life, land and sky
Different place and time, there was you and I
There was you and I
There's a bird inside, it doesn't wanna die
Yeah, live the life

Ain't it crazy
Are we wicked and wild? (Oh, yeah)
I can love you, I don't need to disguise
Ain't it stupid, useless?
It's just the way it's supposed to be
I don't need you, just the memories
Don't have a heart attack
When I love you like you'll never love me back
When I love you like you'll never love me back

Oh, never love, never love
Never love, never love me back
Love you like you'll never love me back
Ooh...

"No More Fear"


You spent a lot of money and you spread all of your honey on shiny things
But you never spend a second looking at the leather jacket with the Journey pin
You say you love your mama but I heard you never call her on a holiday
I love you anyway
It's a passion play

(No more fear) Let your dooby records play
(No more fear) Don't let anybody say that's queer
No more fear, like a karaoke song...
(No more fear) Lionel Richie "All Night Long", all damn year
No more fear, no more fear

Left for San Francisco 'cause you love the funky disco and the party scene
But you taste a little magic and the huntress started acting like a drama queen
I steal the secret letters with the glitter and the feathers, I don't need to say
I love you anyway
You crazy castaway

(No more fear) Let your dooby records play
(No more fear) Don't let anybody say that's queer
No more fear, like a karaoke song...
(No more fear) Lionel Richie "All Night Long", all damn year
No more fear

Just another story of the chaos and the glory on a Saturday
I love you anyway
It's a passion play

(No more fear) Let your dooby records play
(No more fear) Don't let anybody say that's queer
No more fear, like a karaoke song...
(No more fear) Lionel Richie "All Night Long", all damn year
No more fear, no more fear

Oh (No more fear)

"Not Standing Around"
(from "Songs From Instant Star Two" soundtrack)



I'd go where I've known
If the earth could find my feet
I would run away and go where I known

But you don't even care
No you don't even care
Whats fair

Not standing alone
Not standing around
While they sit there and wait until I lose my ground
Not letting it go
Won't leave it behind
Won't let it pass me by no not this time
Not standing alone
Not standing around
Not letting it go
Won't leave it behind

I keep so far
I nearly lost my mind
I held on so tight
And now I see that I was blind

Bu you don't even care
No you don't even care
What's fair

Not standing alone
Not standing around
While they sit there and wait until I lose my ground
Not letting it go
Won't leave it behind
Won't pass me by no not this time
Not standing alone
Not standing around
Not letting it go
Won't leave it behind

I have a party
I have a song
Don't need nobody ain't nothing wrong
I hear the talk
I hear the cry
Along the inside and looking out
Heyyyy

Not standing alone
Not standing around
While they sit there and wait until I lose my ground
Not letting it go
Won't leave it behind
Won't pass me by no not this time
Not standing alone
Not standing around
Not letting it go
Won't leave it behind

Not standing around no no no
Not standing around no no no
Not standing around no no no
Not standing around no no no

Not standing around not standing around
Not standing around no no no

"Nothin' On Me"


Troubles come, shadows stray
But in the end, it’s got nothin’ on me
Bricks and mortar break the chains
Cause in the end…

Does nothing for me, does nothing for you
Treatin’ somebody wrong, there’s nowhere to be
And a broken heart is enough for two
You ain’t so smart making me so blue

Does nothing for right, does nothing for wrong
I ain’t sleeping at night, I’m just hiding alone
And a ripped out soul is potatoes in a bowl
In a fucked up world that makes you feel so cold

Troubles come, shadows stray
But in the end, it’s got nothin’ on me
Bricks and mortar break the chains
Cause in the end, it’s got nothin’ on me

I used to be so sad, I felt so alone
I couldn’t leave my head
I was sore to the bone
Now I see the light, it’s gonna be alright
If the train don’t come, we’ll make it just fine

Troubles come, shadows stray
But in the end, it’s got nothin’ on me
Bricks and mortar break the chains
Cause in the end, it’s got nothin’ on me

Troubles come, shadows stray
But in the end, it’s got nothin’ on me
Bricks and mortar break the chains
Cause in the end, it’s got nothin’ on me

It’s got nothin’ on me
It’s got nothin’ on me

"Over-Rated"
(from "Songs From Instant Star Two" soundtrack)



[Verse 1]
You think it's cool, just cause they're telling you
You gotta have it, then you'll never miss it at all
You need the thrill, just cause it's killing you
You're so close, so don't take it too far

[Chorus:]
Where there's smoke you'll find a mirror
It's over-rated
I've watched it fade
So please don't give in
Don't forget what you believe in
It's over-rated
It's not worth chasing
Don't you know that
You'll love to love and then you'll hate it

[Verse 2]
Love and lost and everything between
It's perfect, it's poison that made me fall
You want it bad
Don't want it to slip away
It's too fast
It's gonna drag you down

[Chorus:]
Where there's smoke you'll find a mirror
It's over-rated
I've watched it fade
So please don't give in
Don't forget what you believe in
It's over-rated
It's not worth chasing
Don't you know that
You'll love to love and then you'll hate it

[Bridge:]
Coming close now, not any clearer
With every breath you're going deeper
But I will pull you back to me

It's over-rated
It's not worth chasing
Don't you know that
You'll love to love and then you'll hate it

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh..

It's over-rated
And it's over-rated
You learn to love and then you'll hate it
You learn to love and then you'll hate it
It's over-rated

"Paper Heart"


Dust, lust, and paper cuts
Gluin' up a wound is rough
Pen, page, can't erase
The things you swore you wouldn't say
Words turn, pages burn
Maybe why I never learn
Silhouette without a trace

I'm made of cellophane
You're seeing right through me
Left your ink in my veins
When you drew me a paper heart
A pa-pa-paper heart

Laying, folded in these sheets
Lost in origami dreams
Dead poet's poetry
Probably wrote the book on me
Blinded by his valentines
Tears are blurring all the lines
Letters burning up in flames

I'm made of cellophane
You're seeing right through me
Left your ink in my veins
When you drew me

You can't see the creases
Now that they're cut
I'm picking up pieces
Since you ripped up my paper heart

Why was I drawn to you?
How did I let you through?
I guess you always knew
That with you I'm just cellophane

(Seein' right through me) Left your ink in my veins
(When you drew me) I'm made of cellophane
You're seeing right through me
Left your ink in my veins
When you drew me

I can't see the creases
Now that they're cut
I'm picking up pieces
Since you ripped up my paper heart
A pa-pa-paper heart
My pa-pa-paper heart

"Perfect"
(from "Instant Star: Greatest Hits" soundtrack)



Oh, oh, oh

Maybe I don't say all the right things
Maybe I stumble on the words
Maybe I laugh at all the wrong times
Maybe I mumble and I curse

The best I can do is to be myself
And I hope it's enough to make you proud

I can't explain just why I'm actin' this way
I can't control it, so go with it
I'm just a girl, I won't be changin' the world
And boy you know that, I'm not perfect
But I'm perfect for you

When you're in the room, my head is clear
You make the world just disappear
So open up your eyes and see

I can't explain just why I'm actin' this way
I can't control it, so go with it
I'm just a girl, I won't be changin' the world
And boy you know that

Oh yeah

I can't explain just why I'm actin' this way
I can't control it, so go with it
I'm just a girl, I won't be changin' the world
And boy you know that, I'm not perfect

I can't explain just why I'm actin' this way
I can't control it, so go with it
I'm just a girl, I won't be changin' the world
And boy you know that, I'm not perfect
But I'm perfect for you

"Pick Up The Pieces"
(from "Songs From Instant Star" soundtrack)



If I was a drift on an ocean all alone
You came and rescued me
When I was far from home
Rush of love around my heart
Just as I fell apart

[Chorus]
Nobody ever cared as much for me (as much for me)
Nobody's touched my heart and healed my pain
You've picked up the pieces and put me back together again

Ooo ya
Careful, we're fragile and easily we break
In your arms I'm certain
It's all the love we make
Rush of love around my heart
Just as you take my hand

[Chorus]
Nobody ever cared as much for me (as much for me)
Nobody's touched my heart and healed my pain
You've picked the pieces and put me back together

I'll write you name in
Stars across the sky (stars across the sky)
We'll drift away in
To eachothers eyes
Hey ya (Hey ya) Hoy ya ya ya yaya, oh ya ya

[Chorus]
Nobody ever cared as much for me
Nobody's touched my heart and healed my pain
You've picked the pieces and put me back together

Nobody ever cared as much for me (as much for me)
Nobody's touched my heart and healed my pain
You've picked the pieces and put me back together again

Nobody ever cared as much for me (as much for me)
Nobody's touched my heart and healed my pain
You've picked the pieces and you've put me back together again
