PICTURE PERFECT
IMAGES AND
FRACTIONS OF
MY MIND
SIMPLE WORDS
OF PASSION
IS ALL WHAT
I CAN FIND.
VISIONS OF
THE FUTURE
AND GLIMSES
IN THE PAST
NOTHING MENT
TO BE FOREVER
NOTHING MADE
TO LAST.
COLOUR ME A COLOUR
LET THE COLOUR SHINE
GIVE IT SOUL AND BODY
LIKE A SPARKLING WINE
COLOUR ME A COLOUR
LET THE HEART BE MINE
COLOUR ME A COLOUR
LET THE COLOUR SHINE.
TELL A SIMPLE STORY
AND DON’T BE SHY
TELL IT LIKE IT IS
OR TELL ME A LIE
TELL A HAPPY TAIL
DON’T MAKE ME CRY
TELL A SIMPLE STORY
AND DON’T BE SHY.
LIFE IS A RAINBOW
THE WISE MEN PREACH
WITH BEAUTIFUL COLOURS
BUT TOO FAR TO REACH
LIFE IS THE PRETTIEST
SIGHT YOU HAVE SEEN
LIFE IS THE HARDEST
PLACE YOU HAVE BEEN.
LIFE IS A PEARL IT’S
A NUGGET OF GOLD
LIKE A HOLE IN A BUCKET
IT’S GOT NO HOLD
AND LIKE DESERT SANDS OF
THE FINEST GRAIN IT SLIPS
THROUGH YOUR HANDS
LIKE WATER IN A STRAIN.
LIFE IS A BITCH IF
YOU GET IT ALL WRONG
AND WHEN LIFE IS HARD
YOU GOT TO BE STRONG
TOO MANY TIMES I’VE
HEARD THAT OLD SONG
BUT STILL IN MY MIND
IT GOES ON AND ON.
LIFE IS WHATEVER
YOU WANT IT TO BE
YOU CAN WALK
ALL YOUR LIFE NEVER
HEAR NEVER SEE
AT THE END
OF THE ROAD IT’S
A GOOD PLACE TO BE.
LOVE IS A FLOWER
A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER
IT BLOSSOMS AND
SHINES SO BRIGHT
IT CATCHES YOUR EYE
TOUCHES YOUR HEART
THE SIGN OF LOVE
THE END OF ALL FIGHT
A WONDERFUL FEELING
A FEELING SO RIGHT
A FEELING OF LOVE
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
LOVE IS A SEED
A HEAVENLY SEED
A SEED TO GROW
IN YOUR HEART
LIVING ON LOVE
LOVING WITH CARE
YOU’LL KNOW WHEN
THE FEELING IS THERE
A WONDERFUL FEELING
A FEELING SO RIGHT
A FEELING OF LOVE
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
LOVE IS A FEELING
A WONDERFUL FEELING
A FEELING YOU
WANT TO SHARE
IT COMES WITH PAIN
IT COMES WITH JOY
YOU’LL KNOW WHEN
THE FEELING IS THERE
A WONDERFUL FEELING
A FEELING SO RIGHT
A FEELING OF LOVE
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
THERE’S A
PRICE TO PAY
EVERY STEP
OF THE WAY
THERE’S A
BRIDGE TO CROSS
EVERY NIGHT
EVERY DAY.
YOU’RE THE ONE
YOU’RE THE MAN
YOU’RE THE ONE
WITH THE PLAN
AND WE’RE ALL
WATCHING YOU
MAKING NOTES
HOW TO DO.
THERE’S A PLACE
IN MY HEART
IF YOU NEED
A NEW START
AND IF THE
WORLD ALL
AROUND YOU
IS FALLING APART.
I CAN’T PROMISE
TOMORROW
I CAN’T
LIE STEAL
OR BORROW
I’M NO KEEPER
OF TEARS AND NO
MASTER OF SORROW.
IT’S NO EASE
FOR THE ACHING
BUT IT’S YOURS
FOR THE MAKING
AND IF YOU
WANT IT
IT’S YOURS
FOR THE TAKING.
LIFE IS A CHANCE
YOU CAN TAKE IT
OR LEAVE IT
THERE’S NO
SECCOND ROMANCE
THERE’S NO WAY
TO REPEAT IT
LIFE IS LIFE
AND THAT’S ALL
WHAT IT IS.
YOU CAN CALL
ON THE STARS
YOU CAN PRAY
TO THE SUN
WHEN THE DAY
IS OVER THE
DEED IS DONE
LIFE IS LIFE
AND THAT’S ALL
WHAT IT IS.
LIFE IS NO PROMISE
BUT IT’S ALL
YOU WILL GET
IF YOU THINK
YOU CAN
LICK IT YOU’RE
OVER YOUR HEAD
LIFE IS A GIFT
AND IT’S ALL
YOU WILL GET.
LORD
HAVE MERCY
WHAT HAVE
WE DONE
WE TURNED
THE MAN TO
A MONSTER
LIKE NONE.
HE’S SELFISH
HE’S PICKISH
HE’S CLEARLY
NO FUN
HIS CARING
HIS HEART
HIS LOVE
IS ALL GONE.
SO TELL ME
MY LORD
WILL LOVE
STILL GROW
‘CAUSE DEEP
IN MY HEART
I THINK
NOT SO.
I WANT TO
BE LIKE YOU
I WANT
MY OWN
LIFE TOO
NO MATTER
WHAT I DO
I WANT TO
BE LIKE YOU.
I WANT TO
LOOK
LIKE YOU
I WANT A
STRONG FACE TOO
NO MATTER
WHAT I DO
I WANT TO
LOOK LIKE YOU.
I WANT TO
FEEL LIKE YOU
I WANT TO
TOUCH
LIFE TOO
THE WAY
YOU DO
I WANT TO
FEEL LIKE YOU.
I CAN TELL
BY THE WAY
THAT YOU
LOOK AT ME
YOU’RE THE ONE
I MUST TRY NOT
TO GET TO ME.
YOU’RE SO COLD
YOU’RE SO CRUEL
YOU’RE SO HARD
TO SEE
YOU’RE THE ONE
I MUST TRY NOT
TO GET TO ME.
MAN IS
A MEAN
MASHINE
HE’S A COLD
AND CALCULATED
KILLING MASHINE
THE WORST THERE
HAS EVER BEEN.
MAN IS
A MASTER OF
EVIL DEADS
A WHEELER
AND DEALER OF
POISONOUS SEEDS
AND A KEEPER OF
BLACK MAGIC BEADS.
MAN IS
A MOTHER OF
MONSTROUS MINDS
A TRUE INSPIRATER
OF VICIOUS KINDS
AND THE WORST
ENCOUNTER OF
DEVIOUS FINDS.
MAN IS
A LOOSER HE’S
LOOSING BIG TIME
HE’S HEADING FAST
TO WHERE THE
SUN DON’T SHINE
AND IT’S ALL JUST A
FICTION OF HIS MIND.
I’M TALKING
TO THE BIRDS
I’M TALKING
TO THE BEES
I’M TALKING
TO THE FLOWERS
I’M TALKING
TO THE TREES.
I’M SWIMMING
WITH THE FISH
I’M RUNNING
WITH THE HORSE
AND I’M DANCING
WITH THE BIRDS
JUST TO GET THE
WORD ACROSS.
IT’S CLEAR AS
A BELL IN THE
MORNING RISE
FREEDOM COMES
WITH A PRICE
AND WE’RE
ALL TOGETHER
IN THIS PARADISE.
SO WHO ARE YOU
AND WHAT AM I
ARE WE ALL SET
TO LIVE AND TO DIE
I’VE SEEN THE
LIFE AFTER THIS
I LOST MY HEART
I CRIED AND DIED
NOW I’M LIVING
A LIFE AFTER DEATH.
WHEN YOU’RE DEAD
THERE IS NO PAIN
NOBODY CARES IF
YOU’RE MAD OR SANE
IF ALL GOES WRONG
YOU’RE NOT TO BLAME
SO FOR ALL I KNOW
IT’S NO BIG SHAME
IF LIFE AFTER DEATH
IS ALL WHAT REMAIN.
YOU’VE BEEN TALKING
IN YOUR SLEEP
SPILLING SECRETS
DARK AND DEEP
CLIMBING MOUNTAINS
FAR TOO STEEP
DIGGING HOLES
MUCH TOO DEEP
YOU’VE BEEN TALKING
IN YOUR SLEEP.
YOU’VE BEEN CAUGHT
LIKE A PEEP
ALL YOUR PILLOWS
IN A HEAP
YOU BEEN SPOTTED
IN YOUR DREAM
AS THE CHEAT YOU’VE
ALWAYES BEEN
YOU’VE BEEN TALKING
IN YOUR SLEEP.
SO MANY
THINGS
IN YOUR LIFE
CAN GO WRONG
AND SO MANY
TIMES YOU WILL
HAVE TO
BE STRONG.
IF YOU HAVE
A BAD START
THEN THE PACE
CAN BE HARD
AND HARD TIMES
WE KNOW
CAN PULL
PEOPLE APART.
BUT ALL YOU
WILL NEED
IS TO LET
YOUR LOVE FLOW
‘CAUSE LOVE
IS THE KEY
THAT MAKES
YOUR LIFE GROW.
ALL THE LIGHT
HOWEVER BRIGHT
FROM THE STARS
IN THE SKY
IS NEVER AS RIGHT
IS NEVER AS BRIGHT
AS THE LIGHT THAT
SHINES IN YOUR EYE.
ALL THE FLOWERS
AND COLOUR PEAKS
THE BIRDS IN THE SKY
THE FEATHERS AND BEAKS
IS NEVER AS PRETTY
AND NEVER NO MATCH
TO THE BEAUTIFUL SHINE
IN YOUR FLUSHING CHEEKS.
ALL THE SWEETNESS
IN THIS WORLD THE
WHISKEY WE SIPS AND
HONEY AT FINGERTIPS
NONE IS AS PURE
AND NEVER SO SWEET
AS THE SOFT LITTLE
TOUCH OF YOUR LIPS.
THERE’S A FULL MOON
IN THE SKY
CLOUDS OF SILVER
ARE DRIFTING BY
STARS ARE SHINING
NAKED AND SHY
WOLFS ARE CRYING
VIRGINS WILL DIE.
SO MAKE A BRAVE FACE
AND TRY NOT TO CRY
IT’S TOO LATE TO RUN
IT’S TOO LATE TO TRY
HOW DO I KNOW
DON’T ASK ME WHY
AND IF YOU INSIST
I’LL TELL YOU A LIE.
THERE’S A FULL MOON
IN THE SKY
CLOUDS OF SILVER
ARE DRIFTING BY
STARS ARE SHINING
NAKED AND SHY
WOLFS ARE CRYING
VIRGINS WILL DIE.
LOOK INTO
MY EYES
AND PAST
THE LITTLE LIES
AND TELL ME
WHAT YOU SEE
A LOVING MAN
A CARING MAN
IS ALL I
WANT TO BE.
LISTEN TO
MY WORDS
AND TO
THE LITTLE
THINGS
I SAY
FRAGMENTS OF
MY MIND AND
BOULDERS ON
MY WAY.
TAKE MY HAND
AND TOUCH
MY SOUL
AND TELL
ME WHAT
YOU FEEL AND
IF YOU FIND IT
IN YOUR HEART
TELL ME THAT
I AM REAL.
EVERY MOMENT
HAS A SPIRIT
EVERY SPIRIT
HAS A SOUL
AND EVERY
LIVING BEING
HAS A HEART
OF GOLD.
EVERY PICTURE
HAS A STORY
EVERY STORY
MUST BE TOLD
AND EVERY
LITTLE SECRET
IS NOT LIKELY
TO GET OLD.
EVERY MAN
IS A WINNER
EVERY WINNER
NEEDS A PRIZE
AND THE MOUNT
OF THE EFFORT
IS THE MEASURE
OF THE SIZE.
I’VE BEEN LOOKING
FOR LOVE IN ALL
THE WRONG PLACES
I’VE BEEN LOOKING
FOR TRACES IN ALL
THE WRONG FACES
I’VE BEEN LOOKING
FOR AFFECTION AND
ENDING UP WITH GAZES.
I’VE BEEN LOOKING
FOR LOVE FOR A
LONG LONG TIME
I’VE BEEN LOOKING
SO HARD I ALMOST
LOST MY MIND
I’VE BEEN LOOKING
FOR LOVE
TOO HARD TO FIND.
I’M LOOKING FOR
LOVE NO MORE
MY EMOTIONS
ARE BROKEN AND
MY HEART IS SORE
I’M ALL DONE LOOKING
I GOT NOTHING IN STORE
AND I’M LOOKING FOR
LOVE NO MORE.
THERE’S A
WAY TO GIVE
AND A WAY
TO TAKE
THERE’S A
WAY TO MAKE
AND A WAY
TO BREAK.
THERE’S A
TIME TO TELL
WHAT IS RIGHT
OR WRONG
THERE’S A
TIME TO YIELD
AND A TIME
TO BE STRONG.
BUT THERE’S NO
WAY TO TELL
HOW THE FUTURE
WILL BE AND
THERE’S NO
WAY TO FAKE IT
NOT FOR YOU
NOT FOR ME.
WALKING LIKE
A HERO
FEELING LIKE
A CLOWN
HAVING
NO IDEA
WHAT IS UP
OR DOWN.
SITTING IN
A ZOO
STANDING IN
A CROWD
HAVEN’T GOT
A CLUE
WHAT IT’S
ALL ABOUT.
HANGING ON
A STAR
FLYING IN
THE SKY
WONDER HOW
IT FEELS
WHEN THE
WICKED DIE.
LUCK DON’T
JUST COME
KNOCKING AT
YOUR DOOR
YOU GOT
TO PICK
YOUR FIGHT
AND SWEEP
IT OFF
THE FLOOR.
LIFE IS
AS HARD
AS YOU
WANT IT
TO BE AND
GOOD TIMES
ARE NOT
ALWAYES THE
FIRST THING
YOU SEE.
IF NOT
TOO SURE
OR HAVING
SOME DOUBT
DON’T BE
AFRAID TO
LET IT ALL OUT
SHARING IS
WHAT THIS
LIFE IS ABOUT.
LIFE IS A PLACE
WHERE YOU CAN
TEST YOUR DREAM
A BOOK OF PICTURES
YOU’VE NEVER SEEN
YOU CAN TROW A DICE
YOU CAN GET ON IN LIFE
BUT WHATEVER
YOU DO YOU
CAN’T LIVE TWICE.
SOMETIMES LIFE
IS A BUMPY RIDE
WITH UPS AND DOWNS
WITH JOY AND FRIGHT
A ROLLER COASTER
ALL DAY AND NIGHT
A BLAST OF MUSIC
AND COLOURED LIGHT
A STUNNING VIEW AND
A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT.
SOMETIMES LIFE
IS A PEACE OF CAKE
WITH NOTHING TO IT
AND NOTHING AT STAKE
A BLEEDING HEART IS
ALL YOU CAN BREAK
RIDE THE WAVES AND
FOLLOW THE STREAM
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND
GO WITH YOUR DREAM.
TO DIE IS FOREVER
THERE’S NO
TURNING BACK
THE ROAD YOU
HAVE TAKEN IS
A ONE WAY TRACK
THE BEST YOU CAN DO
IS TO BUCKLE UP
TO HIT THE ROAD
AND SHOW THE FLAG.
THE FIRST TIME
I SAW YOU
WAS A SIGHT
FOR SORE EYES
A STRIDING
YOUNG BIRD
STROLLING IN
THE SKIES.
THE BIG EYED
DUCKLING
TURNED INTO
A SWAN
CENTER OF
ATRACTION
FROM DUSK
TO DAWN.
THE LAST TIME
I SAW YOU
WAS IN
A DISTANT WAY
YOUR MIND
WAS SET
ON MUCH
BIGGER PRAY.
I REMEMBER
WHEN I WAS YOUNG
WHEN LIFE WAS GOOD
AND I FELT STRONG
WHEN ALL WAS BRIGHT
NOTHING WAS WRONG
LIFE WAS AS PLAIN
AS A LULLABY SONG.
I REMEMBER A WARM AND STRONG
PLACE IN AN
OLD WOMANS HEART
WHERE LOVE
WAS THE POWER
TO GIVE LIFE
A GOOD START.
I REMEMBER WHEN
MY WORLD DIED
WHEN EVERYTHING
CHANGED AND I CRIED
TIME HAS PASSED
PEOPLE ARE GONE
BUT THE STORY WILL TELL
HOW THEY TRIED.
LONELY NIGHTS
ARE CREEPING BY
LONELY NIGHTS
THAT MAKES ME CRY
LONELY STARS SO
BRIGHT IN THE SKY
LOOKING CLOSE
BUT SO FAR BY.
LONELY PEOPLE
SHARING SPACES
LONELY SOULS
OUT OF PLACES
LONELY FACES
IN THE HAZES
STARING EYES AND
MUDDY GLACES.
LONELY THOUGHTS
ON MY MIND
HAPPY MOMENTS
HARD TO FIND
LONELY NIGHTS
ARE CREEPING BY
LONELY NIGHTS
MAKES ME CRY.
PRETTY GIRLS
DON’T WONDER WHY
PRETTY GIRLS
DON’T HAVE TO CRY
PRETTY GIRLS
ARE NEVER SHY
PRETTY GIRLS
ARE PRETTY GIRLS
TILL THE DAY
THEY DIE.
PRETTY GIRLS
ARE NOT TO LET
PRETTY GIRLS
ARE HARD TO GET
PRETTY GIRLS
WON’T TAKE A BET
PRETTY GIRLS
WILL GET AHEAD
PRETTY GIRLS YOU
DON’T FORGET.
PRETTY GIRLS
ON TINY FEET
PRETTY GIRLS
WALK THE STREET
PRETTY GIRLS
CAN TAKE
THE HEAT AND
PRETTY GIRLS
WILL ALWAYES
BE A TREAT.
AS TIME
GO BY
LIKE CLOUDS
IN THE SKY
I CLOSE MY EYE
AND I WONDER WHY
SO MANY PEOPLE
ARE BORN TO CRY
TO STRUGGLE IN LIFE
AND THEN TO DIE.
LIKE FLOWERS
IN THE FIELD
ALL SO PRETTY
ALL SO REAL
THEY BLOSSOM
THEY PEEL
AND THAT’S
THE DEAL
THE END OF STORY
AND NO APPEAL.
SOME DAY
SOME TIME
THE SUN
WON’T SHINE
AND NOBODY KNOWS
WHAT TO FIND
ANOTHER BREED
ANOTHER KIND
WITH TROUBLE
ON THEIR MIND.
I LIKE TO BE THE COFFEE
IN YOUR MORNING
I LIKE TO BE THE SUGAR
OF YOUR DAY AND EVEN
IF YOU’RE PERFECT IN
THE WAY YOU STAY
I WOULD LIKE TO BE
YOUR CANDY ANYWAY.
I LIKE TO BE THE MIRROR
IN YOUR MORNING
AND I LIKE TO BE THE
PILLOW IN YOUR DREAM
AND IF YOU EVER ASK
ME HOW YOU LOOK
I’LL TELL YOU YOU’RE THE
TOPPING OF THE CREAM.
I LIKE TO BE THE KISSES
IN YOUR MORNING
I LIKE TO BE YOUR LIPS
AND I’M NOT SHY
I WONDER IF MY WISH
WILL EVER HAPPEN
‘CAUSE I AM JUST
AN ORDINARY GUY.
INSIDE AS FRAGILE
AS A VISION
IN THE MIST
OUTSIDE AS STRONG AS
ONLY A FOOL HEARTED
CAN INSIST
AND IN BETWEEN
BARELY ABLE TO EXCIST.
MUZZLE OVER BRAIN
AND RESISTANT
TO PAIN
LOOSING TO SOFTNESS
WITH NOTHING TO GAIN
AND FINDING THAT
LIFE AFTER ALL WAS
NEVER IN VAIN.
REJECTED BY
THE FUTURE
AND ABANDONED
BY THE PAST
MAKING A LIVING
IN THE PRESENT
WITH ONLY
MOMENTS TO LAST.
WHERE DO WE
ALL COME FROM
AND WHERE
DO WE ALL GO
WHAT DO WE ALL
STAND FOR AND
WHAT DO WE
HAVE TO SHOW.
FIRST TIME
A FOOL FOR
WANTING YOU
SECCOND TIME
A FOOL FOR
BELIEVING IT TOO
AND THIRD TIME
A FOOL TO THINK
THAT MY DREAMS
COME THROUGH.
FIRST TIME WRONG
TO LET THE
DREAM LIVE ON
SECCOND TIME
WRONG FOR JUST
GOING ALONG
AND THIRD TIME
WRONG TO BELIEVE
A BROKEN HEART
CAN MOVE ON.
AT FIRST THERE
WAS NOTHING
THEN THERE
WAS LIGHT
SUNSHINE AND
MOONLIGHT
SHINING SO BRIGHT
AND SPARKS
FROM THE STARS
BARELY IN SIGHT.
AT FIRST THERE
WAS NOTHING
THEN THERE
WAS YOU AND
A WORLD FULL
OF DREAMS
AND THINGS TO DO
I NEED YOU
I WANT YOU
I LOVE YOU.
WORDS
ARE SILVER
SILENCE
IS GOLD
DREAMS
ARE STORIES
BEFORE THEY
ARE TOLD.
A BROKEN
HEART
A LONELY
SOUL
A SHIVER
OF LIMPS
SO SUDDENLY
COLD.
TIME IS
A RIVER
OF RUSHING
TEARS
PRIDE IS
THE FRUIT
OF HUNDREDS
OF YEARS.
RUNNING
FOREVER
TURN
AFTER TURN
PRAISE YOU
MUST EARN
CHERISH ALL
YOU LEARN.
ONCE I WAS
A LITTLE BOY
WITH A BAG
OF TRICKS AS
MY ONLY TOY
LIFE WAS NOT
ALWAYES JUST
FUN AND JOY
FOR THE TINY
LITTLE BOY.
CLOUDS OF FEAR
DARKENED THE SKY
AND RIVERS OF
TEARS BLINDED
THE EYE
MOUNTAINS
OF TROUBLE
TOO CLOSE BY
A LITTLE BOY
WONDERING WHY.
OCEANS OF TIME
HAS SINCE
GONE BY
BUT NOT FOR
THE LACK OF
GIVING A TRY
TO LIVE AND
LET LIVE AND
TO REACH
FOR THE SKY.
NO MORE NEED
TO CALL ON A LIE
NO MORE NEED
FOR TEARS TO CRY
I’VE PACKED MY
BAG FOR THE
FINAL GOODBYE
AND THE WORLD
WILL KNOW THAT
I GAVE IT A TRY.
A LITTLE
WHITE LIE
A TEAR
TO CRY
A QUESTION
OF WHY
MY FEAR
WILL NOT DIE.
THE BEAST
IN THE
BOX
CLEVER AS
A FOX
GOT ME ON
TIP TOES
IN MY SOCKS.
OLD SCHOOL
NEW SCHOOL
WHAT’S THE
POINT OF
BEING COOL
ENDING UP
JUST LOOKING
LIKE A FOOL.
EVERY DAY I
CRY FOR YOU
EVERY DAY I
DIE FOR YOU
AND EVERY DAY
I’M TELLING YOU
HOW MUCH I
LOVE YOU TOO.
THE IMAGE
OF FEAR
IS A LONG
DARK ROAD
THE RIVER
OF TEARS
CAN ROCK
THE BOAT.
BUT WHEN I
GET OLDER
AND LOOSE
MY FARE
THE PRINTS
IN THE SAND
WILL SHOW
I WAS THERE.
I REMEMBER
WHEN TIME WAS YOUNG
WHEN LIFE WAS BIG EYED
AND MOVING ON
EVERYTHING HAPPENED
JUST LIKE A SONG
IT FELT LIKE NOTHING
COULD EVER GO WRONG.
THERE WAS ANOTHER
TIME A TIME A LONG
TIME BEFORE THIS TIME
WHEN LIFE WAS GOOD
AND PEOPLE WERE LIVING
LIKE PEOPLE SHOULD
WITH LOVE AND PEACE
LIKE PEOPLE COULD.
AND AS THE SUN IS
SLOWLY GOING DOWN
AND PAINFULLY COLOURING
THE SKY TO THE GROUND
I’M MAKING A WISH AND
I HOPE IN MY HEART THAT
TOMORROW WILL BRING
US A BRAND NEW START.
GREEN IS THE
COLOUR OF
MY HOPE
GREEN IS FOREVER
A SLIPPERY SLOPE
GREEN IS
A COLOUR SO
HARD TO COPE.
RED IS THE
COLOUR OF
MY HEART
THE COLOUR
OF MY BLOOD WHEN
MY LOVE IS HOT
AND RED IS A
SENSITIVE SPOT.
WHITE IS
THE COLOUR
OF THE PURE
AND CLEAN
WHITE IS
THE COLOUR
ONLY ANGELS
HAVE SEEN.
BLACK IS
THE COLOUR
OF ALL WHAT
WE FEAR
AND THE COLOUR
OF THE SHIRT
WHEN THE END
IS NEAR.
LOOK AT THE BIRDS
IN THE SKY
HOW DID THEY ALL
LEARN TO FLY
LOOK AT THE FISH
IN THE SEA
HOW DID THEY ALL
COME TO BE.
LOOK AT THE FLOWERS
LOOK AT THE TREES
LOOK AT THE BIRDS
LOOK AT THE BEES
HOW DID THEY MANAGE
TO FIGURE IT OUT
HOW DID THEY ALL
COME ABOUT.
LOOK AT THE MAN
HE’S GOT A PLAN
MAKING A TOOL
FOR STAYING COOL
IS IT JUST LUCK
OR IS IT A RULE
HOW THE CLEVER
BEATS THE FOOL.
I’M LOOKING AT PEOPLE
WITH SO MANY FACES
LOOKING AT PEOPLE
FROM SO MANY PLACES
EVERYONE STRUGGLING
TO LIVE AND BE FREE
AND EVERYONE LOOKING
EXACTLY LIKE ME.
I’M LOOKING AT CHILDREN
WITH QUESTIONS
IN THEIR EYES
WITH SHADOWS OF TEARS
DISBELIEVE AND LIES
WITH HOPE AND LOVE
AND SHY LITTLE SMILES
SHOWING IN THEIR EYES.
I’M LOOKING AT THE WORLD
LIKE A BIG OLD TREE
WITH BRANCHES GROWING
IN ALL DIRECTIONS
GROWING AS FAR
AS THE EYE CAN SEE
WILD AND FREE AND WITH
TIES TO YOU AND TO ME.
NOBODY KNOWS
WHERE BROKEN SOULS GOES
NOBODY KNOWS
WHAT TOMORROW SHOWS
NOBODY KNOWS
THE SHADOWS IT TROWS
BEING SO CLOSE
AND NOBODY KNOWS.
NOBODY’S SEEN
THE MAKERS HAND
NOBODY’S WALKED OUT
OF DEAD MANS LAND
NOBODY WILL
AND NOBODY CAN
ALL WE CAN TRY
IS TO UNDERSTAND.
LIKE SHIPS ON THE OCEAN
PASSING AT NIGHT
LIKE MOON AND STARS
SHINING SO BRIGHT
CATCHING THE EYE
THEN OUT OF SIGHT
A MOMENT OF TRUTH
A TIME OF DELIGHT.
LIKE PEOPLE LIVE
AND PEOPLE DIE
LIKE PEOPLE LAUGH
AND PEOPLE CRY
LIKE SOME ARE BOLD
AND SOME ARE SHY
NOBOBY KNOWS
THE REASON WHY.
WHERE WOULD I BE
WITHOUT YOU
HOW WOULD I KNOW
THE RIGHT THINGS TO DO
HOW WOULD I HONESTLY
KNOW WHAT IS TRUE
WHAT WOULD I BE
WITHOUT YOU.
YOUR EYES ARE BRIGHT
LIKE STARS AT NIGHT
AND YOUR LIPS ARE
SWEETER THAN WINE
YOUR HEART IS SO BIG
IT WILL NEVER DIE
AND YOUR MIND
IS MADE TO SHINE.
SO HOW CAN I EVER
MAKE IT UP TO YOU
FOR MAKING MY DREAMS
COME THROUGH
THE WAY YOU ARE
THE THINGS YOU DO
WHEN ALL I HAVE IS
MY LOVE FOR YOU.
SOMETIMES
I’M HAPPY
SOMETIMES
I’M SAD
SOMETIMES
TOO GOOD
SOMETIMES
TOO BAD.
SOMETIMES
I WISH
I WAS
NEVER BORN
SOMETIMES
I TAKE ON
THE WORLD
LIKE A STORM.
MOST TIMES
I WANT
TO BE LEFT
ON MY OWN
AND TUG ON
TO MEMORIES
OF PLACES
I’WE KNOWN.
ALL I WANT
IS AN EASY TIME
A BIT OF FUN
WITH SOME
PEACE OF MIND
NOT MUCH
TO ASK BUT SO
HARD TO FIND.
A FUTURE WITH ROOTS
IN THE PAST
A HANDFUL OF DREAMS
NEVER TO LAST
A CHANCE YOU MUST TAKE
WITHOUT LOOKING BACK
NOT LOOSING YOUR BALANCE
OR LOOSING YOUR TRACK.
TIME CAN BE EASY
WHEN NOBODY CARE
WE GO WITH THE WIND
AND BREATHE IN THE AIR
WE CAN’T BE BOTHERED
NOT EASY TO SCARE
WE GO FOR THE WINNERS
AND THINK IT IS FAIR.
BUT SOMETIMES WE GET UP
AND TAKE ON THE DARE
AND CALL ON THE DEVIL
AND CHALLENCE HIS SCARE
YOU’LL NEVER KNOW WHY
OR WHEN AND WHERE
BUT MAYBEE IT’S
SOMETHING IN THE AIR.
I’M LOOKING AT LIFE
FROM INSIDE OUT
THE PICTURE I SEE IS
NOT MAKING ME PROUD
I’M TRYING TO FIGURE
WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT
BUT FROM WHAT I GET
THERE’S NO SILVER CLOUD.
I’M SEEING A LOT
OF ANGRY FACES
SOME HARDENED EYES
AND WASTED SPACES
A LOT OF TIGHTENED
AND CROWDED MACES
I’M SEEING A LOT OF
UNLOVING PLACES.
MY HEART IS HEAVY
MY MIND IS SAD
I WONDER HOW ALL
COULD TURN OUT SO BAD
HOW COULD WE LOOSE
THE GOOD THINGS WE HAD
AND HOW COULD WE
ALL END UP SO BAD.
SHE’S A WOMAN SHE’S
A DANSER IN THE STREET
SHE’S A WOMAN SHE’S
GOT MOVES SO
HARD TO BEAT
SHE’S A WOMAN SHE’S
ALWAYES ON HER FEET
SHE’S A WOMAN AND
SHE’S LIVING AND SHE’S
DANCING IN THE STREET.
SHE’S A WOMAN SHE GOT
FLOWERS IN HER HAIR
SHE’S AN ANGEL THROWING
KISSES IN THE AIR
SHE’S A MOTHER WITH A
HEART SO FULL OF CARE
SHE’S A SISTER AND YOU
KNOW SHE’S ALWAYES THERE
SHE’S A LOVER AND
A BURNING HOT AFFAIR.
SHE’S A WOMAN FROM THE
DARK END OF THE STREET
SHE’S GOT BIG BROWN EYES
AND SANDALS ON HER FEET
SHE’S A QUEEN AND
SHE’S A LOOKER SHE’S
NOT EVERYBODY’S TREAT
BUT SHE’S THE LADY
OF THE NIGHT FROM THE
DARK END OF MY STREET.
I CRY WHEN
THE WEEK AND
HELPLESS
PEOPLE DIE
I FEEL SHAME
WHEN HARD AND
EVIL PEOPLE
IS TO BLAME
I’M SAD
WHEN LITTLE
CHILDREN
ARE SHY
AND I TURN
MY HEAD
WHEN SOMEONE
TELL’S A LIE.
I TRY
TO MANAGE
AND I TRY
TO GET BY
BUT I FAIL
TO BE STRONG
AND I DON’T
KNOW WHY.
THE WORLD
IS ON FIRE
AND THE FLAMES
ARE GETTING HIGHER
YOUNG ONES DIE
AND MOTHERS CRY
HANDS ARE RAISED
TO THE SKY
LORD IN HEAVEN
TELL ME WHY.
SO WHY IS
THE WORLD
SO FULL
OF HATE
AND WHAT
WILL IT TAKE
TO OPEN
THE GATE
AND LET OUT SOME
LOVE AND FAITH.
WHERE DID
LOVE GO
WILL IT
EVER RETURN
HOW MANY SOULS
MUST WITHER
AND BURN
AND WHEN WILL
THE DEAMONDS
EVER LEARN.
THE BIG WHEELS
ARE TURNING
AND TIME
IS GOING BY
HEARTS ARE BURNING
AND DREAMS WILL DIE
THE WICKET WILL LAUGH
AND THE ANGELS WILL CRY
AND THE BLACK BIRDS
ARE DANCING IN THE SKY.
THE BLUEBIRDS
ARE SINGING
FROM THE TOP
OF THE TREES
GREED AND TROUBLE
PUTS MAN ON HIS KNEES
LIFE IS A PLAYGROUND
FOR WANNABES
BUT LUCK IS NOT
HANGING IN THE TREES.
THE BIG WHEELS
ARE TURNING
AND THE SHOW
MUST GO ON
FAME AND FORTUNE
SUDDENTLY GONE
FIRST YOU’RE SOMEONE
THEN YOU’RE NONE
THE GAME IS OVER
THE DEAL IS DONE.
ONCE I WAS
A HERO
ONCE I WAS
SO STRONG
ONCE I WAS
SO RIGHT
I COULD NEVER
BE WRONG.
I WAS NEVER
AN ANGEL
IT WAS NEVER
ON MY MIND
I WAS NEVER
ONE FOR GLORY
I JUST NEVER
WAS THE KIND.
BUT I FOUND
A WAY TO STAY
AND I FOUND
A GAME TO PLAY
SIMPLE LIVING
DAY BY DAY
STEADY LINES
FOR ME TO LAY.
FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE
YOU MUST STAND
ON YOUR OWN
FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE
YOU MUST
GO IT ALONE
AND FOR ONCE
IN YOUR LIFE
IT WILL HURT
TO THE BONE.
FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE
YOU MUST TRY
TO BE PROUD
TO STAND UP
AND SEE WHAT
YOUR LIFE IS ABOUT
AND FOR ONCE
IN YOUR LIFE
YOU MUST GIVE
IT A SHOUT.
FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE
YOU WILL HAVE
TO BE STRONG
FOR ONCE
IN YOUR LIFE
YOU MUST STOP
WHAT IS WRONG
AND FOR ONCE IN
YOUR LIFE YOU’LL HAVE
NO ONE ALONG.
REMEMBER WHEN
WE WERE YOUNG
WHEN LIFE WAS GOOD
AND WE WERE STRONG
EVERYTHING HAPPENED
NOTHING WAS WRONG
REMEMBER WHEN
WE WERE YOUNG.
I CAN REMEMBER
THE HAPPY DAYES
SWEET YESTERDAYES
ALL FUN AND GAMES
THE LITTLE PLAYES
AND CARELESS WAYES
THAT HAPPY GO LUCK
ALWAYES STAYES.
BUT TIME HAS CHANGED
IT’S OVER AND DONE
THE GOOD OLD DAYES
FOREVER LONG GONE
IT’S A BRAND NEW WORLD
WITH A NEW SET OF RULES
AND A BRAND NEW
BOX OF TOOLS.
THER’S A SAD OLD
FEELING IN THE AIR
A SENCE OF LOSS
A HINT OF DESPAIR
SIGNS OF TROUBLE
MOMENTS OF FEAR
SOMETHING TELL’S ME
BAD TIMES ARE NEAR.
COLD IS THE
NIGHT OF FEAR
HARD AS A PARTING
WHERE TEARS
ARE SMARTING
AND WHERE THE
FINAL TIME IS NEAR
COLD IS THE
NIGHT OF FEAR.
COLD IS THE
FIRE HOLDING
MY DESIRE
LOW ARE THE
FLAMES AND
KEEPING FROM
GETTING HIGHER
COLD ARE THE
HANDS OF DESIRE.
COLD IS THE BLOOD
IN MY ACKING HEART
AND DEEPER THAN
THE OCEANS KEEPING
CONTINENTS APART
TALLER THAN THE SKY
WHERE MOUNTAINS START
COLD IS THE BLOOD
IN MY ACKING HEART.
WARM IS THE SPARK
IN YOUR EYES
FEEDING ON THE
FUEL OF HONESTY
AND SHINING THROUGH
THE DARKNESS
IN A WORLD OF LIES
WARM IS THE SPARK
IN YOUR EYES.
