"Nothing Lasts Forever"

"Nothing Lasts Forever"


When you touch I love it so much
Only then do I know that you're mine
Strangely I long to be
Just standing here right by your side
For all the saintly things you've done
It's not enough to hold you
When all the changes surely come
I'm pulling you back to my heart
Nothing lasts forever
Just a brief glimpse in time
I see it in your eyes
I wanna know you're mine
Don't know why I break down and cry
When I know that you won't be around
Come to me I surely be
Just ready to lay on the ground
For all the saintly things you've done
It's not enough to hold you
When all the changes surely come
I'm tugging you back to my heart
Nothing lasts forever
Just a brief glimpse in time
I see it in your eyes
I wanna know your mind
Don't wait until tomorrow
Our love will eclipse the night
No more pain no sorrow
Our love has taken flight
Nothing lasts forever
Just a brief glimpse in time
I see it in your eyes

"Oh L'amour"

"Oh L'amour"


Oh L'Amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do

Looking for you
You were looking for me
Always reaching for you
You were too blind to see
Oh love of my heart
Why leave me alone
I'm falling apart
No good on my own

Oh L'Amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do

Why throw it away
Why walk out on me
I just live for the day
For the way it should be
There once was a time
Had you here by my side
You said I wasn't your kind
Only here for the ride

Oh L'Amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do

No emotional ties
You don't remember my name
I lay down and die
I'm only to blame
Oh love of my heart
It's up to you now
You've tore me apart
I hurt inside-out

Oh L'Amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do

Oh L'Amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do

Oh L'Amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do

"Oh What A World"

"Oh What A World"


I want to be in the witness protection programme
I don't like what we've become
We've become borderline obsessive compulsives
Stop the world I want to get off with you baby
Stop right now
And it seems to me it's the way it's gonna be
No-one out there wants to see the things I see
It's a crazy world a million voices go unheard
What became of wanting to be free
Oh what a world
We lost power long ago
We reap what we have sown
We have no conscience to speak of
It's sheer madness
Don't take the moral high ground
Hide behind your fake words
It's just an excuse
For your weakness
What a lost opportunity, don't be upset with me
What about all the secrets here on Earth
We unbottled the genie living out fantasies
Fell for the propaganda badly
Oh what a world
And it seems to me it's the way it's gonna be
No-one out there wants to see the things I see
It's a crazy world a million voices go unheard
What became of wanting to be free
And it seems to me it's the way it's gonna be
No-one out there wants to see the things I see
It's a crazy world a million voices go unheard
What became of wanting to be free
Oh what a world

"Over The Rainbow"

"Over The Rainbow"


Somewhere over the rainbow
There is a light that shines
Like saying prayers on a Sunday
Makes me feel so divine

I never knew such a burning love before
Ooh, you stop and and you hear me crying out for more

The boys are back in town
They'll never let you down
That much is true
(Ca me fait grand plaisir)
(Peux-tu raccoucher a cote de moi)

We'll spend the summer in Oslo
Land of the midnight sun
By the time that it's over
We will have just begun

Oh how I love you lying by the pool
Ooh, we listen to Agneta, Anifrid, Benny and Bjorn

The boys are back in town
They'll never let you down
That much is true
(Ca me fait grand plaisir)
(Peux-tu raccoucher a cote de moi)

I never knew such a burning love before
Ooh, you stop and and you leave me crying out for more

The boys are back in town
They'll never let you down
That much is true
(Ca me fait grand plaisir)
(Peux-tu raccoucher a cote de moi)

The boys are back in town
They'll never let you down
That much is true
(Ca me fait grand plaisir)
(Peux-tu raccoucher a cote de moi)

The boys are back in town
They'll never let you down
That much is true
(Ca me fait grand plaisir)
(Peux-tu raccoucher a cote de moi)

"Paradise"
(b-side to "Drama!")

"Paradise"
(b-side to "Drama!")



Hey
Now did I tell you that I was going
Yes I'm leaving
Cos there's no room in this house
You're just too much in love with yourself

Tired of living in slow motion
Gonna make that bubble burst
And fill that ocean
With the crocodile tears from your eyes
Instead of swimming against the tide

There are better things that a man can do
Than to waste his time
On a no good fool like you

(Falling into a pool like paradise)
(Falling into a pool like paradise)

You say that you're really sorry
But sorry don't work when you've heard it
For the fifty-second time
You should be ready to say goodbye

Tired of your dead end dreaming
Baby who on earth do you think you're kidding
Go and put another record on
I'm sick of hearing the same old song

Don't wanna hear your little white lies
They can break the moon
And decimate the skies

(Falling into a pool like paradise)
(Falling into a pool like paradise)

There are better things that a man can do
Than to waste his time
On a no good fool like you

I'll be going away soon
Only time will tell
If I'll ever be back again

I'll be going away soon
Only time will tell
If I'll ever be back again

(Falling into a pool like paradise)
(Falling into a pool like paradise)

"Paradise"

"Paradise"


Is it so far out of touch?
Like a million miles away
When it all becomes too much
Is there somewhere inside to escape?
You're hurting
Wanting
Needing
Longing
Looking
For that something
You will know
Don't turn around
Don't give up on your feelings
Get what you need then you'll find the release
Start to believe and you know love is deep
Make your own paradise
If you let your demons go
Let them walk right out of mind
It will purify your soul
And out of the flames you will rise
Hurting
Wanting
Needing
Longing
Ever looking
For that something
You will know
Don't turn around
Don't give up on your feelings
Get what you need then you'll find the release
Start to believe and you know love is deep
Make your own paradise
Never look back
Just get up on your feet
'Cause this life is a game and it's so bitter-sweet
Start to believe and you know love is deep
Make your own paradise
Don't turn around
Don't give up on your feelings
Get what you need then you'll find the release
Start to believe and you know love is deep
Make your own paradise

"Perchance To Dream"

"Perchance To Dream"


Perchance to dream
Dive into the wall of sound, yeah
Crashing all over me
Turning my world upside-down

And then I see, and I start to breathe
As if for the first time
Suddenly, as calm as can be
Sky full of wonder, tears asunder

Climb through the car
Falling up to meet the road
Something in my head will explode

Oh baby gee
Won't you come and share the world with me
Time with me

Tears on a tin box
I tear out tinder to strike it with, yeah
A little spark is satisfied
Lights up the soft wood

And then I see, and I start to breathe
The mountain in moonshine
Stars on my breath, scares me the best
Flickering mellow shadows

Climb through the air
Falling up to brush the clouds
Static in my hair I blush out loud

Oh baby gee
Won't you come and share the world with me
Time with me

And then I see, and I start to breathe
As if for the first time
Suddenly, as calm as can be
Sky full of wonder, tears me under

Climb through the car
Falling up to meet the road
Something in my head will explode

Oh baby gee
Won't you come and share the world with me
Some time with me

Oh baby gee
Won't you come and share the world with me
Time with me

"Perfect Stranger"

"Perfect Stranger"


Hell I gave up my time
For a no good affair
You'd think I'd learned by now

To be taken in
By a perfect stranger
That I had the know how

Still more fool me
For kidding myself
That's the way it should be
Maybe I should grow up
Would I feel confined to the same place
Or would I feel that I talked myself into a corner

So long you're no friend of mine
You're false and unkind
You're indestructible

No place I'd rather be
Than in the ring with you
We'd go twenty rounds

Still more fool me
For kidding myself
That's the way it should be
Maybe I should grow up
Would I feel confined to the same space
Or would I feel that I talked myself into a corner

I see the sky move above me
But I just can't take control
What a sweet sensation
Woaoh! Ho! Oh!
Ah Ha! Love sweet sweet love

Hell I gave up my time
For a no good affair
You'd think I'd learned by now

To be taken in
By a perfect stranger
That I had the know how

Still more fool me
For kidding myself
That's the way it should be
Maybe I should grow up
Would I feel confined to the same place
Or would I feel (so goodbye stranger) that I talked myself into a corner

"Phantom Bride"

"Phantom Bride"


She was a shy girl from the lonely street
She had no job to do and no friends to meet
She'd sit in silence in her rented room
Dream of her childhood and invented truths
And in her mind she'd drift away
A secret place to steal away
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
He was a good boy from the upside of town
Said her could treat her right said he could win her round
Her morning sickness and the kick inside
The phantom kisses of the phantom bride
And in her mind she'd drift away
A secret place to steal away
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the teardrops from your eyes
And in her mind she'd drift away
A secret place to steal away
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your
No more lies
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your
No more lies
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your
Let me wipe away the tears from your

"Piano Song"

"Piano Song"


Never get angry at the stupid people
Though I go crazy at the dullness of my life
Sit and stare into a dusty window
An empty face stares back at me and cries

My vulnerability rushes up to me
Till I'm left here
The rebel without a cause
The deeper I delve into
The consciousness of me with you
The harder it gets
I need to close my eyes
What hurts me most
I'll never see your eyes again

Though I get weary
Doesn't mean that I'm unwilling
My body belies me I'm of fertile mind
As I grow older
The world forgets me
And talks to me as if I'm some kind of child

Their insensitivity washes over me
Till I'm left here
The rebel without a cause
The deeper I delve into
The consciousness of me and you
The harder it gets
I need to close my eyes
What hurts me most
I'll never see your eyes again

The harder it gets
I need to close my eyes
I can't recollect
I'll never see your eyes again

I try to forget
I'll never see your eyes again
I can't recollect
I'll never see your eyes again
What hurts me most
I'll never see your eyes again

Don't touch me
