"Cool"

"Cool"


[Dave laughing]

You could be my guardian angel
Woe before and die a stranger
Day by day, night by night
Let me know that you're all right

Tell me know am I cool enough, cool enough for you
What do I got to do to be cool enough to help with you

I'll just sit and keep to myself
He just too soon be someone else
I'll be there, when you stop to cry
You won't vision some other guy

Tell me know am I cool enough, cool enough for you
What do I got to do to be cool enough to help with you

You could show me all the anger

Tell me know am I cool enough, cool enough for you
What do I got to do to be cool enough to help with you
Tell me know am I cool enough, cool enough for you
What do I got to do to be cool enough to help with you

"Cradle Chain"

"Cradle Chain"


It's a shame you're not here
On the cross in my ear
Hearing things loud and clear
Come outside have no fear

And clear the smoke, get some fresh air
Someone waits, someone cares
In the broad light of day trouble seems so far away
At the top of the day when the reign sways

Lose the cradle chain, give it up, give it a name
The child that remains, nothing's lost
Take these chains, take them away

Please don't ask me how I am
A little tired, a little scared
I'm not amused, not upset
Don't need a leash
I'm not your pet

So loosen up, feel the breeze
Let me hear, hear you breathe
It's better than, bitter now
When you breathe I love that sound
But you know I'll look after you like no one

Lose the cradle chain, give it up, give it a name
The child that remains, nothing's lost
Take these chains, take them away

If I die before I wake, light a fuse, bake a cake
I don't mind if I go, make it quick, don't be slow
But you know I'll remember you like no one

Lose the cradle chain, give it up, give it a name
The smile that remains will take these chains away

"Crashing Down"

"Crashing Down"


Dying on a bed of roses in the middle of the night
Woke up in a cold, dark basement looking through candlelights

Up all night, silly kid come crashing down (just one more taker)
Like a ghost of a thousand miles crawling over me

Here's to falling off the world's dark side
Drifted it alone on a morning's tide
Riding on an all-night train through a crystal gate
When the moonlight shines a path for a brighter day

When the ballrooms are all banging and the evening is so still
Could you see it in your heart to let me in?

Did he hand you the reigns of the morning news?
He lulled you asleep 'til the Aussie cat mews

When the leaves from the trees come crashing down (don't time pass slowly)
When the seasons don't change, they're spinning around

Here's to falling off the world's dark side
Drifted it alone on a morning's tide
Riding on an all-night train through a crystal gate
When the moonlight shines a path for a brighter day

When the ballrooms are all banging and the evening is so still
Could you see it in your heart to let me in?

Let me in

"Crawl"

"Crawl"


You got me going, so get me out of here
I should be blowin', in someone else's ear
I'm looking forward to looking back
On days like today
Though I wish you would go away
Stay, won't you stay
I'm gonna crawl, cra-ha-hawl, cra-ha-hawl
I never felt better just crawling home
I'm gonna crawl home, crawl home alone
Good to see you, see you later, maybe one more beer
I'm gonna crawl home, crawl home from here
Some respond to pleasure, some respond to pain
I'm hangin' out to dry, in the pouring rain
Victims of temptation, never can complain
I could use the sensation, you see I can't feel pain
I'm gonna crawl, cra-ha-hawl, cra-ha-hawl
I never ever said I'd never make it home
It's just a stone's throw, a crawl home
Good to see you, see you later, maybe one more beer
I'm just a crawl home, crawl home from here
I could use someone, to drag me out of here
I am that someone, it's all become quite clear
So get me out of here
I never felt better just crawling home
I'm gonna crawl home, crawl home alone
Good to see you, see you later, and I'm outta here
I'm just a crawl home, crawl home from here

"Crazy Mixed Up World"

"Crazy Mixed Up World"


Now that you're old enough
And all grown now, tryin' to act so tough
Here comes a slap right in the face

Branding irons and cattle prods
Cowboys everywhere, ropes flyin through the air
Leaves some kind of funny aftertaste

And when the room gets small
And the streets are filled with fighting
You'll find a way to escape
You'll find a better place

Cause it's a crazy mixed up world out there
Someones always got a gun and it's all about money
You live with loneliness or you live with somebody
Who's crazy - It's just a crazy mixed up world

Jet fighters streak the air
And where they're going nobody seems to care
I guess we'll just wait and watch 'em fade

I don't think much about
The things I thought I just couldn't live without
I live without them everyday

And when you just can't handle
One more panhandler
It leaves you wishing for change
A fast car to take you away

It's a crazy mixed up world out there
Someones always got a gun and it's all about money
You live with loneliness or you live with somebody
Who's crazy - It's just a crazy mixed up world

So take your shattered faith
And make it just like new with crazy glue and tape
You're gonna need it again someday
You're gonna need it again
You're gonna need it today

Cause it's a crazy mixed up world out there
Someones always got a gun and it's all about money
You live with loneliness or you live with somebody
Who's crazy - It's just a crazy mixed up world

"Creatures Of Habit"

"Creatures Of Habit"


If the day wants to begin, you can let the day in
If the darkness has no end, light up the darkness
It ain't on what you can depend, it's who you can depend on
If the rain wants to come in, you can let the rain in
If the darkness is your friend, you can hold the darkness
And if it ain't what you got, you know you gotta have it
The grass gets greener all the time for creatures of habit
Look out, here comes one more morning
Habits form without a warning
Love it can be habit-forming
Make your enemies your friends, and leap standing naked
It ain't how much you can take, it's how you take it
Look out, here comes one more morning
Habits form without a warning
Love it can be habit-forming for creatures of habit
Look out, a habit's forming
It's just one more morning
For creatures of habit

"Cruel Intentions"

"Cruel Intentions"


Cruel intentions, harbored for thee
Too few to mention, but not too hard to see
Crude inventions and mysterious schemes
I need prevention now
Do you see that it's true
All you care about is you
Baby thats cruel
So save your cruel intentions for somebody other than me

Sweet pretentions, so cute and in style
Sales potential, yes I'd walk a mile
Unholy places and so much to see
I need a replacement now
Do you see that it's true
Your whole world spins around you
Baby thats cruel
So save your cruel intentions for somebody other than me

Cruel intentions, harbored for thee
Too few to mention, but do you see that it's true
Your whole world spins around you
Baby thats cruel
So save your cruel intentions for somebody other than me

So save your cruel intentions for somebody other than me

"Dealing"

"Dealing"


Everybody knows anything goes
We were only trying to have a good time
Living while you learn, you'll get your turn
We were only living with the one life

When you point the finger, do you often find it pointed back at you?
When you look in mirror, do you wonder who is looking back at you?

And this is what we're dealing
This is what we're dealing with

Every move you make's like a slithering snake
Winding up the coil to wasting your time
I don't know what you heard, this is absurd
You're trying to set yourself up for last time

When you point the finger, do you often find it pointed back at you?
When you look in mirror, do you wonder who is looking back at you?

And this is what we're dealing
This is what we're dealing with
And this is what we're dealing
This is what we're dealing with

When you look in the mirror, do you wonder who is looking back at you?
When you point the finger, do you often find it pointed back at you?

And this is what we're dealing
This is what we're dealing with
This is what we're dealing
This is what we're dealing with

"Do You Know"

"Do You Know"


Do you know what it's like to really hate somebody
Oh, will you remember cause you drank all my funny wine
You thought your friend's upset, you're gonna be a big success
And you'd do anything to keep your mind all so secret

Chimes and diamond rings and obtain fingerprints and drew a line right across the pavement
I'm so little doctor, I've got oh so many

And do you know what it's like to really love somebody
Oh will you remember cause I've got what you really need
You got it in a plan in the palm of your hand
And you'd do anything but I'm not so upset
Trip to a far away place and diamonds have laid faith and jewelry under bombs and fools and country bums
Oh, help, come get me

What the fuck is gonna kill the hate master, cancer of the father of my wanted love

"Don't Bother Me"

"Don't Bother Me"


She took her time and then she took mine
But it don't bother me, no it don't bother me
She gave me a nickel, she said it was a dime
But it don't bother me, no it don't bother me

And I ain't lyin'
I'll just go on tryin'
These are better days than yesterday

And why do I bother looking for trouble?
Trouble will always find me
I'll figure it out one way or the other
I'm not gonna let it bother me

She took my life, she took her sweet time
As far as I can see, as far as the eye can see
In the eye of the beholder is so much colder
As far as the eye can see, as far as I can see

Well, I once had a vision
It's just endless indecision
These are troubled waters we've survived before
So many times before, so many times before

And why do I bother looking for trouble?
Trouble will always find me
I'll figure it out one way or the other
I'm not gonna let it bother me

She took her time and then she took mine
But it don't bother me, no it don't bother me

I'm tired of tryin'
I ain't even lyin'
These are ways I've seen this go before
So many times before, so many times before

And why do I bother looking for trouble?
Trouble will always find me
I'll figure it out one way or the other
I'm not gonna let it bother me

And why do I bother looking for trouble?
Trouble will always find me
I'll figure it out one way or the other
I'm not gonna let it bother me
