"Give Me Some Love"

"Give Me Some Love"


Me and my guitar play my way. It makes them frown.
But little pieces by the highway bring me down.
Mine is not a heart of stone, I am only skin and bone,
And those little pieces are little pieces of my own.
Why don't you give me some love?
I've taken ship-load of drugs.
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain.
Valium said to me,
I'll take you seriously,
And we'll come back as someone else,
Who's better than yourself.
Many faces at the doorway all hang round.
Watch me fighting in the hallway but make no sound.
So I'm standing all alone, and I'm only skin and bone.
So many faces but they all look out for their own.
Why don't you give me some love?
I've taken ship-load of drugs.
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain.
Valium said to me,
I'll take you seriously,
And we'll come back as someone else,
Who's better than yourself.
And some day soon they'll drop the bomb and let it all out. Someday.
I know that someday soon we'll all be gone so let it all out.
Let it all out today.
And give me some love,
Yeah, give me some love,
Come on, give me some love today.

"Goodbye My Lover"

"Goodbye My Lover"


Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your hand.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

[x2]
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer and when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

[x2]
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.

[x2]
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

"Heart Of Gold"

"Heart Of Gold"


This time her mind is made up
Yeah, she's moving on
Tonight her spirit's crushed
It's 'cause she don't belong

Maybe she thinks too much
She thinks she's given enough
Only now they'll know she's got a heart of gold
Always looking for love
She's beginning to think she's cursed
On her looks she judged
By the folks at work

She don't care for fashion and fame
Those kind of people they are all the same
One day they'll know, she's got a heart of gold

And she sings, I want to know what love is
But it seems to come with so much pain
If no one wants to show me
It seems easier just to run away
When I am gone it's just a penny for my soul

But God he knows, I got a heart of gold
Been coming 'round here
Since she's a little girl
But now the change is clear
We live in a cynical world

She don't care for fashion and fame, no
Those kind of people they are all the same
They don't wanna know, she's got a heart of gold

And she sings, I want to know what love is
But it seems to come with so much pain
If no one wants to show me
It seems easier just to run away
When I am gone it's just a penny for my soul
But God he knows, I got a heart of gold

To see her footsteps in the snow

And she sings, I want to know what love is
But it seems to come with so much pain
If no one wants to show me
It seems easier just to run away
When I am gone it's just a penny for my soul
But God he knows, I got a heart of gold

"Heart To Heart"
(with Dido)

"Heart To Heart"
(with Dido)



There are times when I don't know where I stand (oh, sometimes)
You make me feel like I'm a boy and not a man (oh, sometimes)
There are times when you don't give me a smile (oh, sometimes)
I lie awake at night and worry for a while (oh, oh)

It's OK 'cause I know
You shine even on a rainy day and
I can find your halo
Guides me to wherever you fall
If you need a hand to hold
I'll come running, because
You and I won't part till we die
You should know
We see eye to eye, heart to heart.

There are times when I cry 'cause you shed no tears (oh, sometimes)
Your mind's so far away but your body's right here (oh, sometimes)
There are times when I just walked out your door (oh, sometimes)
And thought I'd never get to see you anymore (oh, oh)

It's OK 'cause I know
You shine even on a rainy day
And I can find your halo
Guides me to wherever you fall
If you need a hand to hold
I'll come running, because
You and I won't part till we die
You should know
We see eye to eye, heart to heart.

Woah... woah...
Oh sometimes
Woah... woah...

Wherever you fall
If you need a hand to hold
I'll come running, because
You and I won't part till we die
You should know
We see eye to eye, heart to heart.

I can find your halo
Guides me to wherever you fall

"Here We Go Again"

"Here We Go Again"


I have been rejected before
Trying to get another one to come in through my door
She said
I like it here
But your not gonna score
I’m not gonna let you sleep with me anymore

Whoaaa

And here we go again
I’m starting on my own
26 years
apart for one
And I’m standing all alone
I’m not that bad
In my
In my heart

I am guilty
And of that I confess
I have been thinking of another girl in obsess
I am sorry if it causes distress
But I never loved you
I never loved you

Whoaaa

And here we go again
I’m starting on my own
26 years
AND HALF OF ONE
And I’m standing all alone

Whoaaa

And here we go again
I’m starting on my own
26 years
AND HALF OF ONE
And I’m standing all alone
I’m not that bad
In my
In my heart

You can judge me
If you know me so well
I can’t change my spots
And won’t brake out of my shell
They will commit me
To a lifetime in hell
But
I can’t remember where my innocence fell

Whoaaa

And here we go again
I’m starting on my own
26 years
AND HALF OF ONE
And I’m standing all alone
Whoaaa
And here we go again
I’m starting on my own
26 years
Apart for one
And I’m standing all alone
I’m not that bad
In my
In my heart

I’m not that bad
In my
In my heart

Whoaaa

And here we go again
I’m starting on my own
26 years
AND HALF OF ONE
And I’m standing all alone
Whoaaa
And here we go again
I’m starting on my own
26 years
AND HALF OF ONE
I’m standing all alone
I’m not that bad
In my
In my heart

I’m not that bad
In my
In my heart

In my heart

"Heroes"

"Heroes"


You can see it on her face
Her red eyes say she's not safe
How should she know what it means
She is only just thirteen
Under her duvet's where she hides
To block the screaming late at night
She can't remember life before
Mama and Daddy went to war

Poor little girl's so full of confusion
Cry all you want cause you're only human
Was all the love just an illusion?
Daddy's not coming home
Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey
Promise that won't be you when you're 50
Fly before the guilty clip your wings
Cause all your heroes
Are skin and bones

Packed the small bag of things she loves
Deep inside she blames herself
She has nowhere else to go
But that sounds better than what she knows
And as she steps into the dark
Dirty hair and heavy heart
Cold, cold air inside her lungs
Catch a snowflake on her tongue

Poor little girl's so full of confusion
Cry all you want cause you're only human
Was all the love just an illusion?
Daddy's not coming home
Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey
Promise that won't be you when you're 50
Fly before the guilty clip your wings
Cause all your heroes
Are skin and bones

And as I heard you shut the door
Went to the window and I saw
The footsteps of my big sister in the snow
Since then not a single day has passed
When I don't say your name and ask
Where, where did you go?

Poor little girl's so full of confusion
Cry all you want cause you're only human
Was all the love just an illusion?
Daddy's not coming home
Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey
Promise that won't be you when you're 50
Fly before the guilty clip your wings
Cause all your heroes
Are skin and bones

"High"

"High"


Beautiful dawn - lights up the shore for me.
There is nothing else in the world,
I'd rather wake up and see (with you).
Beautiful dawn - I'm just chasing time again.
Thought I would die a lonely man, in endless night.
But now I'm high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.

Beautiful dawn - melt with the stars again.
Do you remember the day when my journey began?
Will you remember the end (of time)?
Beautiful dawn - You're just blowing my mind again.
Thought I was born to endless night, until you shine.
High; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.

Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and older?
Promise me tomorrow starts with you,
Getting high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me

"Hollywood"

"Hollywood"


[Verse 1]
She’s gone Hollywood on me.
She thinks every one’s watching.
And it’s all about drugs and money,
And the back door when she leaves.
Who’d you think you are?
You’re just a little fish in a sea of sharks.
From the past you’re hiding,
And you don’t want to be reminded.

[Chorus]
Nooo you don’t even know what you want, know what you got, noooo
I don’t even think that I want what’s left of your heart
I used to think that I can make you happy then you go and throw it right back at me
Noooo you don’t even know what you want, know what you got

[Verse 2]
She’s got her dreams from the TV
But they don’t include me
It’s like all we have been through means nothing
And there’s nothing left to see
Whooo do you think you are? Feels like I don’t know you anymore.
We used to be friends and lovers
And I miss that most of all

[Chorus]
Nooo you don’t even know what you want, know what you got, noooo
I don’t even think that I want what’s left of your heart
I used to think that I can make you happy then you go and throw it right back at me
Noooo you don’t even know what you want, know what you got

[Verse 3]
All you need is star on an arm and a picture to show your friends
Sweet nothings to look bitter and

[Chorus]
Nooo you don’t even know what you want, know what you got, noooo
I don’t even think that I want what’s left of your heart
I used to think that I can make you happy then you go and throw it right back at me
Noooo you don’t even know what you want, know what you got

Noooo you don’t even know what you want, know what you got
Noooo I don’t even think that I want what’s left of your heart
I used to think that I can make you happy
Then you go and throw it right back at me
Noooo you don’t even know what you want, know what you got

"I Can't Hear The Music"

"I Can't Hear The Music"


Is it a warning? Is it an evil sign?
Is it a people who have lost their mind?
Is it the Darkness? Is it a man resigned?
Is it a best friend leaving you behind?
Is it ever gonna stop? Will they ever let you go?
You're in a rush, they don't care enough 'cause their lives are very slow.
Time is ticking on. You don't get a second shot,
And when you sell your soul for a leading role, will The Lost Souls be forgot?
And if I can't hear the music and the audience is gone,
I'll dance here on my own.
And I hope the Lonely Hearts' Club Band will play out one last song,
Before the sun goes down.
And is it envy? Should it really make you sick?
Is now the time that you realise you'd better get out quick?
'Cause time is ticking on too long to fake your smile,
But then you sold your soul for a leading role, so wear it for a while.
And if I can't hear the music and the audience is gone,
I'll dance here on my own.
And I hope the Lonely Hearts' Club Band will play out one last song,
Before the sun goes down,
And there she goes. And there she goes.
So run, Yoshimi, run. 'Cause Billy's got himself a gun,
And you're right to be afraid: they'll send you to your grave
'Cause you're strange and new.
So run, Yoshimi, run. 'Cause Billy's got himself a gun,
And you're right to be afraid: they'll send you to your grave
'Cause you're strange and new.
And if I can't hear the music and the audience is gone, I'll dance.

"I Really Want You"

"I Really Want You"


Many prophets preach on bended knee. Many clerics wasted wine.
Do the bloodied sheets on those cobbled streets mean I have wasted time?
Are there silver shores on paradise? Can I come in from the cold?
I killed a man in a far away land, my enemy I'm told.
I really want you to really want me, but I really don't know if you can do that.
I know you want to know what's right but I know it's so hard for you to do that.
And time's running out as often it does, and often dictates that you can't do that.
But fate can't break this feeling inside that's burning up through my veins.
I really want you.
I really want you.
I really want you - now.
No matter what I say or do, the message isn't getting through,
And you're listening to the sound of my breaking heart.
I really want you.
I really want you.
Is a poor man rich in solitude, or will Mother Earth complain?
Did the beggar pray for a sunny day, but Lady Luck for rain?
They say a million people bow and scrape to an effigy of gold.
I saw life begin and the ship we're in and history unfold.
I really want you to really want me but I really don't know if you can do that.
I know you want to know what's right but I know it's so hard for you to do that.
And time's running out as often it does and often dictates that you can't do that.
But fate can't break this feeling inside that's burning up through my veins.
I really want you.
I really want you.
I really want you - now.
No matter what I say or do, the message isn't getting through,
And you're listening to the sound of my breaking heart.
No matter what I say or do, the message isn't getting through,
And you're listening to the sound of my breaking heart.
