"You Knew Us So Well"

"You Knew Us So Well"



Did we fail to see you crumble
Did we watch you fade to black
Jaw hanging brain aching no one can handle
Did we forget?
To understand
Did you have it planned?
We all thought that we knew you so well

So much love to give and take
Many dreams and plans to make
Can't believe it we knew you so well

Hardly bare to think what you went through
As your feet fell through the air
Hanging in a void of hopeless darkness
Way beyond despair
But you made us doubt
We would've heard your cry
Of desolation
We went there as well

So much love to give and take
Must go on to celebrate
What you gave us
You knew us so well

Rippling through a generation
Aftershocks for years to come
The angry final step is taken
Never to be undone
On the other side
Was a wave to ride
Through the storm cloud
To bring you to shore

So much love to give and take
Must go on to celebrate
What you gave us
You knew us so well

"You Know I Love You...don't You?"

"You Know I Love You...don't You?"



You got the socket
And I got the plug
I am the floor
And you are the rug

I got the rhythm
You got the beat
We feel it shake us
From our souls to our feet

And you know I love you
You know I love you... don't you

You got the metal
And I got the die
We make a structure
That no one can deny

I need you
And you need me
I need your honey
Like a flower needs a bee

And you know I love you
You know I love you... don't you

No one is an island
On that you can depend
A vessel on his own
Is a sinking ship
It will be that way
'Til the time will end

Now don't you worry
When the thing get tough
We'll stick together
Through the smooth and the rough

You're the steam engine
And I am the tracks
Roll over me
I'll be rolling right back 'cause

You know I love you
You know I love you... don't you

"You Say"

"You Say"



It's a cold world, it's a cruel world
When you haven't got no one to love
And all that poison builds up in your heart
Like a cancer killing a dove
You gotta stop that life turning upside down
You gotta find someone to take care of

I say, you're special
No one's ever felt this way
Life is so lonely
When you won't decide to stay

Here comes the thrill man but don't turn around
Like a spoke turning on the wheel
And it comes and it goes and nobody knows
If it's fake or if it's for real
When you find someone with a light in their eyes
And your heart you know they will steal

You Say, I'm special
No one's ever felt this way
Life is so lonely
When you won't decide to stay

And when it comes to the end of day
And you lie sleeping here next to me
I look to you, and softly say
Am I dreaming or are you really there?

I can't eat, I can't sleep
The face around a fall

You Say, I'm special
No one's ever felt this way
Life is so lonely
When you won't decide to stay

You Say, you're special
No one's ever felt this way
Life is so lonely
When you won't decide to stay

"You're The Buddha"

"You're The Buddha"



There were times when I thought there was nothin' in this world
There was nothin' in this world for me
Everywhere I looked there was trouble in my life
Trouble far as I could see
Hey there's a man doin' alright
What's his philosophy?
He come over here and whispered in my ear

You're the Buddha, you're the Christ,
You're the Mohammed, and the Mother Mary

So who am I so nervous and shy
To be brilliant and talented
It's the light not the dark that frightens us most
And the power lies in our head
You playin' small doesn't help at all
The world need the things you give
Switch yourself on, turn the pressure on

You're the Buddha, you're the Christ,
You're the Mohammed, and the Mother Mary

There are times when I think there's plenty in this world
There's plenty in this world for me
Anytime I see trouble in my life
It becomes an opportunity
Now there's a chance to make the world dance
You do it unconsciously
Help this Winter turn into Spring

You're the Buddha, you're the Christ,
You're the Mohammed, and the Mother Mary

"Your Wildlife"

"Your Wildlife"



Hold me kiss me miss me
Miss me on a rainy day
Though I may be far away
Hold me kiss me miss me
I want you to be

Be there Be there
Your wildlife beats deep inside
Be there Be there
Your wildlife beats deep inside

So what kind of girl do you take me for
Did I say I want you baby
Did I say I want you baby
One day some day
Even if it doesn't mean
Even if it doesn't show I know
Permanently you'll be thinking 'bout me baby

I want you to be
Be there Be there
Your wildlife beats deep inside
Be there Be there
Your wildlife beats deep inside

First time I saw you (International Wildlife)
First time I saw you (In-formation)
First time I saw you (In-formation)
I'll give you everything, everything
Locked up with me, I want you to be

Be there Be there
Your wildlife beats deep inside
Be there Be there
Your wildlife beats deep inside
