Shout 06:34 |
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really really ought to know
Those one track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
They gave you life
And in return you gave them Hell
As cold as I ice
I hope we live to tell the tale.
And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I'd really love you break your heart |
|
The Working Hour 06:32 |
These things that I've been told
Can rearrange my world
My doubt in time
But inside out
This is the working hour
We are paid by those who learn
By our mistakes
This day and age
For all and not for one
All lies and secrets
Put on and on and on
And fear is such a vicious thing
It wraps me up in such chains
Find out
Find out what this fear is about
Find out
Find out what this fear is about |

Everybody Wants to Rule the World 04:12 |
Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on Mother Nature
Everybody wants to rule the world
It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world
Say that you'll never never never never need it
One headline why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world
All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world |

Mothers Talk 05:07 |
My features form with a change in the weather
Weekend
We can work it out
My features form with a change in the weather
Weekend
We can work it out
When the wind blows
When the mothers talk
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the mothers talk
When the wind blows
We can work it out
It's not that you're not good enough
It's just that we can make you better
Given that you pay the price
We can keep you young and tender
Following the footsteps of a funeral pyre
You were paid not to listen
Now your house is on fire
Wake me up when things get started
When everything starts to happen
My features form with a change in the weather
Some of us are horrified
Others never talk about it
But when the weather starts to burn
Then you'll know that you're in trouble
Follow in the footsteps of a soldier girl
It's time to put your clothes on
And to face the world
Don't you feel your luck is changing
When everything starts to happen
Put your head right next to my heart
The beat of the drums is the fear of the dark
My features form with a change in the weather |

I Believe 04:55 |
I believe that when the hurting and the pain has gone
We will be strong, oh yes we will be strong
And I believe that if I'm crying while I write these words
Is it absurd? Or am I being real?
I believe if you knew just what these tears were for
They would just pour like every drop of rain
That's why I believe it is too late for anyone to believe
I believe that if you thought for a moment
Took your time
You would not resign yourself to your fate
And I believe that if it's written in the stars
That's fine.
I can't deny that I'm a Virgo too
I believe that if you're bristling while you hear this song
I could be wrong or have I hit a nerve?
That's why I believe it is too late for anyone to believe
I believe that maybe somewhere in the darkness
In the nighttime in the storm
In the casino
Casino Spanish eyes
I believe, no I can't believe that everytime you hear a newborn scream
You just can't see the shaping of a life
The shaping of a life |
|
Broken 02:39 |
Between the searching and the need to work it out
I stop believing everything will be alright
Broken
We are broken
I'm walking uphill being turned around and round
Secret in motion when my feet are on the ground
Broken
We are broken
In my mind's eye
One little boy anger one little man
Funny how time flies |

Head Over Heels/Broken (Live) 05:02 |
I wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
Won't escape my attention
You keep your distance with a system of touch
And gentle persuasion
I'm lost in admiration could I need you this much
Oh, you're wasting my time
You're just wasting time
Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out till I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
Don't throw it away
I made a fire and watching burn
Thought of your future
With one foot in the past now just how long will it last
No no no have you no ambition
My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean in air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand
Oh I feel so...
Something happens and I'm head over heels
And this my four leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind
This is my four leaf clover
In my mind's eye
One little boy walking by
Funny how time flies. |

Listen 06:54 |
Mother Russia badly burned
Your children lick your wounds
Pilgrim father sailed away
Found a brave new world |
