The Bed's Too Big Without You

The Bed's Too Big Without You


The bed's too big without you
A cold wind blows right through that open door
I can't sleep with your memory
Dreamin' dreams of what used to be
When she left I was cold inside
That look on my face was just pride
No regrets, no love, no tears
Livng on my own was the least of my fears
(chorus)
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big........
without you
Since that day when you'd gone
Just how to carry on
I get through the day but late at night
love to my pillow but it didn't feel right
Everyday just the same
Old rules for the same old game
All I gained was heartache
All I made was one mistake
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big........
without you
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big........
without you, without you

The Madman Running Through The Fields

The Madman Running Through The Fields



You ask me how
I've become mad now
There was a day,
I had so much say
What of my feet?
Life seemed to be sweet
I was admired
But I was so tired

Go through the dam
Lion and lamb
Know what you're sayin'?
Know what you're sayin'?!!!?!

Things went okay,
And then one day, "Pow!"
I can expound
With the new words found
If reasons gone,
How do I live on?
Because I know
Which way I must go

Where can I go,
Now that I know
Time has gone by?
Time has gone by

Isn't that the madman,
Running through the fields?
Isn't that the madman?
Wonder how he feels...

You look at me,
What do you see now?
Is it so bad,
Or am I just sad?
Are you in doubt?
There is a way out
I've seen the crack
I cannot come back

I'm not afraid
Sticks out a way
Into the tide
Be by my side

Isn't that the madman,
Running through the fields?
Isn't that the madman?
Wonder how he feels...

Towers Tumbled

Towers Tumbled


Towers tumbled - all the buildings crumbled
Volcanoes rumbled
Insurance salesman mumbled
Ballerians bumbled - all the heroes stumbled
Politicians fumbled

Suddenly a hand held out - take a ticket tout
It was a chart - it was a card
And those are your instructions
And what he offered in his hand
It was a diagram - master plan
A secret plan for your deduction

Crystals shatter - all the singers chatter
While the drums just clatter
Your silken raiment's tatter
While all the poets chatter - "Oh, it doesn't matter"
Please ignore the latter
Settle back you're growing fatter
Oh you know you've got no conception
Well, you're far out in space
I see you trying to trace a design
Of your heart on the stars

On the open ocean - like an open book
See the feeble fumble for a better look
See the sheep shake
In their sleep wake
Not an earthquake
Or a death wake

And all the while - through the testing and the trials
She smiles
Eternity smiles..

Truth Hits Everybody

Truth Hits Everybody



Sleep lay behind me like a broken ocean
Strange waking dreams before my eyes unfold
You lay there sleeping like an open doorway
I stepped outside myself and felt so cold
Take a look at my new toy
It'll blow your head in two, oh boy
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
I thought about it and my dream was broken
I clutch at images like dying breath
And I don't want to make a fuss about it
The only certain thing in [life is death]

Visions Of The Night

Visions Of The Night




Words and music by Sting
Gazed into the visions of the night
Seen the darkness fall
I've heard a mountain fall away from sight
Heard the thunder call
Seen the beast I call my father
Creature of the night
I feel the creeping darkness close
That electric light
They say the meek shall inherit the earth
How long will you keep it?
They sow a harvest but what's it worth?
There's no one left to reap it
Gazed into the visions of the night
Seen the darkness fall
I've heard a mountain fall away from sight
Heard the thunder call
Seen the beast I call my father
Creature of the night
I feel the creeping darkness close
That electric light
They say the meek shall inherit the earth
How long will you keep it?
They sow a harvest but what's it worth?
There's no one left to reap it
Gazed into the visions of the night
Gazed into the visions of the night
Gazed into the visions of the night
Gazed into the visions of the night
They say the meek shall inherit the earth
How long will you keep it?
They sow a harvest but what's it worth?
There's no one left to reap it
Gazed into the visions of the night
Gazed into the visions of the night
Gazed into the visions of the night
Gazed into the visions of the night
I have gazed into the visions of night
I have gazed into the visions of night
Gazed into the visions of night

Walking On The Moon

Walking On The Moon



Giant steps are what you take
Walkin' on the moon
I hope my leg don't break
Walkin' on the moon

We could walk forever
Walkin' on the moon
We could be together
Walkin' on, walkin' on the moon

Walkin' back from your house
Walkin' on the moon
Walkin' back from your house
Walkin' on the moon

Feet they hardly touch the ground
Walkin' on the moon
My feet don't hardly make no sound
Walkin' on, walkin' on the moon

Some, may say
I'm wishin' my days away
No way
And if it's the price I pay
Some say
Tomorrow's another day
You stay
I may as well play

Giant steps are what you take
Walkin' on the moon
I hope my leg don't break
Walkin' on the moon

We could walk forever
Walkin' on the moon
We could be together
Walkin' on, walkin' on the moon

Some, may say
I'm wishin' my days away
No way
And if it's the price I pay
Some say

Tomorrow's another day
You stay
I may as well play

Keep it up
Keep it up
Keep it up

When The World Is Running Down You Make The Best Of What's Still Around

When The World Is Running Down You Make The Best Of What's Still Around



Turn on my V.C.R.
Same one I've had for years
James Brown on the Tammy show
Same tape I've had for years
I sit in my old car
Same one I've had for years
Old battery's running down
It ran for years and years
Turn on the radio
The static hurts my ears
Tell me where would I go
I ain't been out in years
Turn on the stereo
It's played for years and years
An Otis Redding song
It's all I own
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
Plug in my M.C.I
To excercise my brain
Make records on my own
Can't go out in the rain
Pick up the telephone
I've listened here for years
No one to talk to me
I've listened here for years
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When I feel lonely here
Don't waste my time with tears
I run 'Deep Throat' again
It ran for years and years
Don't like the food I eat
The cans are running out
Same food for years and years
I hate the food I eat
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
(Verse 1: Repeat fading)

World War Three

World War Three






World War Three
Suddenly...
Comes reality...
All around,
Burning ground...
Just how far can you see?...

How will you feel when you live underground?
No longer free to move on
No longer free of the things that brought you down
(Above ground)

Can this be
Reality?...
All the dreams are decayed...
Here we stand,
World in hand...
We ourselves have the key...
Open the gateway to flowers and streams
Children are living our dreams
Look at them playing their games, so wild and free
(Let this be)

World War Three
Must it be?...
Live and love, don't destroy...
Ah,ah ha ha!
Don't destroy...
Don't destroy...
Don't destroy...
Please...
Please...
Don't destroy...
Don't destroy...
Ah!
