Calling All Stations
|
|
Calling all stations Can anybody tell me, tell me exactly where I am I've lost all sense of direction Watching the darkness closing around me Feel the cold all through my body That's why I'm calling all stations In the hope that someone hears me A single lonely voice I feel the sensation disappearing There's a tingling in my arms And there's a numbness in my hands All the broken promises All my good intentions don't add up to very much And I realise whatever happened, whatever happened I remember all the moments that I've wasted in my life All the things I was always gonna do Why is it now when it's too late That I've finally realised it's important to me To think that everything that's dear to me and is always in my heart Could so easily be taken and it's tearing me apart Going over and over in my mind I relive it one second at a time Calling all stations Can anybody tell me, tell me exactly where I am How different things look when your all on your own Watching the darkness closing all around me, all around me And I'm lost with feeling of your arms to remind me Of everything that's dear to me and is always in my heart Could so easily be taken and it's tearing me apart Going over and over in my mind I relive it one second at a time Don't you know there's never been a moment When I haven't had the thought That everything that's dear to me and is always in my heart Could so easily be taken and it's tearing me apart Going over and over in my mind I relive it one second at a time As I sit here in the darkness feeling so alone And everything that's dear to me and is always in my heart... |

Congo
|
|
You say that I put chains on you But I don't think that's really true But if you want to be free from me You gotta lose me in another world Send me to the congo, I'm free to leave There's always somewhere anybody can lead Send me to the congo, you have to believe You can do it if you wanna just do what you please Like a soldier ant I will wait for the signal to act To take a walk right through the door If you don't want me here anymore Send me to the congo, I'm free to leave There's always somewhere anybody can lead Send me to the congo, you have to believe You can do it if you wanna just do what you please Into my heart you came and gave a whole new meaning to my life Into my world you brought a light, I thought it never would go out Send me to the congo, I'm free to leave There's always somewhere anybody can lead Send me to the congo, you have to believe You can do it if you wanna just do what you please You can send me to the congo, I'm free to leave There's always somewhere anybody can lead Yes you can send me to the congo, you have to believe You can do it if you wanna just do what you please I would never be the one to say you had no reason To want me somewhere else far, far away Someday you may understand, someday you will see That someone who would die for you is all I've ever been If that's how it's got to be, if that's what you want from me I would never be the one to say you had no reason To want me somewhere else far, far away Someday you may understand, someday you will see... |

Shipwrecked
|
|
I'm a million miles from anywhere, where can I be Somewhere out in the ocean Just take a look out on the horizon, what can you see There's nothing there for me I feel shipwrecked I might as well be shipwrecked I'm helpless and alone, drifting out to sea I can't believe what you said to me Even standing on the corner of a busy city street I still feel so lonely Why d'you say you wanna be with me But the next day say you don't I'm shipwrecked I might as well be shipwrecked I'm helpless and alone, drifting out to sea I can't believe what you said to me Without you I feel shipwrecked But I can't let it show A million miles away from anywhere, ooh, ooh, ohh Is it my imagination Or is it getting darker, are the waves getting higher I'm a million miles from anywhere A million miles from anything, I'm ooh You know that's why I'm shipwrecked I might as well be shipwrecked I'm helpless and alone, drifting out to sea I can't believe what you said to me You know that's why I'm shipwrecked, shipwrecked Losing my direction Please come and rescue me (shipwrecked) Shipwrecked Shipwrecked Shipwrecked Shipwrecked... |

Alien Afternoon
|
|
Woke up in the morning, staggered out of bed Thought about getting back again, but went downstairs instead Read the daily paper, have to know the truth Slammed the door as I ran outside Looked at my watch and cried Gotta get to work on time Gotta get to work on time Then the sky turned to deeper blue Not a cloud as the sun shone through But all around rain kept falling to the ground The wind was blowing but the trees didn't make a sound Just another alien afternoon Just another alien afternoon Time that I was leaving while there's still a chance Before I start believing in what I see or hear Nothing here to keep me, nothing anywhere Gotta get out, pack my bags before I go insane Gotta get away in time Gotta get away in time Then the sky turned from blue to green Took on colours I have never seen Then a sound started ringing in my ears I heard voices but in truth there's nobody there Just another alien afternoon Just another alien afternoon To be there, back where I belong To feel again, the wind upon my face To see again, all that I took for granted All that I had And everything I knew Never want to go wandering Never leaving the world behind There was never a reason to leave my heart and my home behind Where I was born is where I should be now I should never be lonely I would never be sad again I wanted to go anywhere I wanted to see how strange it could be Nothing would ever take me away again Never want to go wandering Never leaving the world behind No, no, no, no Nothing will ever take me away again, away again No, no, no, no |

Not About Us
|
|
A little piece of something Falling gently down, down, down No-one understands you like I do I'd rather be beside you Everything we know so well Tell me what you feel now Show me what you think of it It's not about us anymore It's all about the reasons that we think we're fighting for It's not about hate, it's not about pain we always feel I know we have our problems but we're not the only ones It's not about you, it's not about me It's not about anger, it's more about the loneliness we feel How can I begin to ask for some forgiveness For all that we have taken There's nothing left now Just a little piece of something Falling gently down, down, down No-one understands you no, no Like I do There's nothing left now It's not about us anymore It's all about the reasons that we think we're fighting for It's not about hate, it's not about pain we always feel I know we have our problems but we're not the only ones It's not about you, it's not about me It's not about anger, it's more about the loneliness we feel It's not about us It's not about hate It's more about the loneliness we feel, can you feel it It's not about anger It's not about wanting I know we have our problems But we're not the only ones, we're not the only ones It's not about you, it's not about me... |

If That's What You Need
|
|
Talking makes us human That's what I was told So why do I find it so difficult To let my feelings unfold Had I the courage to tell you I promise you this If that's what you need I'll be the river, I'll be the mountain, always beside you If that's what you need I will be stronger, I will be braver than ever before And when you came along and turned it all around I promised myself I wouldn't tell you Until we stood on solid ground Holding the candle between us, I'll tell you this If that's what you need I'll be the river, I'll be the mountain, always beside you If that's what you need I will be stronger, I will be braver than ever before And if there's any kind of danger I hear you calling out my name You can follow in my footsteps And I will lead you safely back again I never understood you However hard I tried But it took me a while until I realised That all the problems were mine Holding you nearer to me to tell you this If that's what you need I'll be the river, I'll be the mountain, always beside you If that's what you need I will be stronger, I will be braver than ever before And when things go wrong I'll be your concience there to remind you all of your life And when you go wrong... |

The Dividing Line
|
|
There has always been a dividing line But you choose, you choose, yes you choose not to see it And then you wonder why you fall Cuts through the heart of every city If you climb to the top of the highest building See where it falls as the street lights up the colours start to change You hear a voice inside you Not the words that you wanted to hear Not the things that you wanted to see hey, hey, hey, hey In the comfort and safety of your own home Remember those outside in the cold and the wind and the rain Take in your hands a little ray of light And turn it into a beam that pierces the darkness of the night There has always been a dividing line But you choose, you choose, yes you choose not to see it Sometimes we believe if we close our eyes the rain might wash it away That's why we stumble and we fall Not the words that you wanted to hear Not the things that you wanted to see hey, hey, hey, hey When everything that you hold dear to you Has finally faded away from your life The last cold ray of sunshine slowly disappears Round the corner of the building And leaves you alone When darkness covers the city And the streets are silent too What will you turn to... |

Uncertain Weather
|
|
A day of uncertain weather Captured in a frame forever A face in a faded photograph He must have had a life Maybe with a family People who meant everything to him A sinner, a saint, a soldier Caught up in a war he never had a chance to start to build a life All gone, long ago Leaving no trace, disappearing like smoke in the wind To become just a face without a name Leaving no trace, disappearing like smoke in the wind Hopes and fears, important plans, forgotten memories Footsteps fading in the sand, ooh Sleeps and dreams, small and grand, nothing left to see Footsteps fading in the sand, ooh Someone who casts the shadow, maybe just a lazy man Doesn't make much difference now, it's true A day of uncertain weather Captured in a frame forever A face in a faded photograph All gone, long ago Leaving no trace, disappearing like smoke in the wind To become, just a face without a name One more to add to the total Of those never heard of again Yes he's gone, just a face without a name Leaving no trace, disappearing like smoke in the wind All gone, just a face without a name Leaving no trace, disappearing like smoke in the wind... |

Small Talk
|
|
Don't talk back to me Don't talk back to me Don't talk back to me Don't talk Going round in circles hearing too many points of view Just words to tire me out, small talk I could do without I would be amazed if you've returned to see things my way Now that you've been disrespectful to my sense of pride Isn't it a shame that you were lying when you said to me (small talk) I was the only one, you and I were meant to be I expect you'll never really feel the way that I do All of this is with regret, I'm sure you will agree Say something to me, anything at all I want you to mean what you say I've seen all I want to see And you mean the world to me I've lived for each moment to be with you, with you, with you Small talk Small talk Small talk Small talk You say I don't talk enough That applies to both of us Don't try to sound me out Something I could do without So much goes on inside your head, I often wonder Have you heard enough to know there's nothing left to say Say something to me, anything at all I want you to mean what you say I've seen all I want to see And you mean the world to me I've lived for each moment to be with you, with you, with you Small talk Small talk Ooh small talk That's all I ever hear Small talk I'll be alright It may take sometime But I'll be alright (don't talk back to me) I'll be alright (don't talk back to me) (don't want to be alone, nothing worth to carry on) I'll be alright (don't talk back to me) (try hard to understand, you won't seem to lend a hand) I'll be alright (don't talk back to me) (without you'll fail to see) I'll be alright (don't talk back to me) (so many things you said, going round in circles) I'll be alright (don't talk back to me) (I'll rise above it all, enough to see another day) I'll be alright I'll be alright Don't talk back to me... |

There Must Be Some Other Way
|
|
You're no longer part of my life I must remind myself again Too much has happened to us, to cause each other pain It's over now, there's too much guilt to share Once there would have been a time For talking, and learning There must be some other way To get where we have to go There must be some other way Please show me another way Once it would have been so easy, to do what we have to do There must be some other way Please show me another way Are we no more than parts in a play Letting other people, strangers say our lines To think it should come to this, after all these years What was mine and what should stay behind Once there would have been a time Of sharing, of caring There must be some other way To get where we have to go There must be some other way Please show me another way Once it would have been so easy to do what we have to do (there must be some other way) There must be some other way Please show me, show me another way. There's nothing much left to say We have said it once and said it all again This time we have gone too far It could never be the same It's time to carry on, create new lives Once we promised we would stay together, forever There must be some other way To get where we have to go (there must be some other way) There must be some other way Please show me another way Once it would have been so easy to do what we have to do (what we have to do) You know there must be some other way Please show me another way You know there must be another way Please show me, show me another way (there must be some other way) You know there must be some other way. |

One Man's Fool
|
|
As the buildings crumble, tumble to the ground And the dust filled smoke rises in the air You know that somebody somewhere looks with pride, they're satisfied To all who think they know To everyone that knows that they're right Do you ever wonder why Do you never ask the question, even in the depths of night Now as the daylight fading ends another day For too many life will never be the same And it is all for the reason they will never understand To all who think they know To everyone that knows that they're right Do you ever wonder why Do you never ask the question, even in the depths of night And on the morning after do you realise See the ruined faces and their ruined lives Inside your head do you never have the thought, a moment of doubt To all who think they know To everyone that knows that they're right Do you ever wonder why Do you never ask the question, even in the depths of night There are only dreams, one like any other What means the earth to one of you Means nothing to another There are only dreams like any other Drawing lines upon the sand, on the land, on the sea Then dying to defend them seems quite meaningless to me Don't you know it means the earth to someone only one Can mean just nothing, nothing, nothing to another There are only dreams like any other There are only differences Worth living but not dying for One man's joy makes another man weep Nothing you can do is ever gonna change it One man's saint is another man's fool One man's hot is another man's cool And when the war is over, won Will there be peace forever more Statues carved right out of stone, out of wood, made from gold Praying for their mercy, that won't save their souls Don't you know it means the earth to someone only one Can mean just nothing, nothing, nothing to any other There are only dreams like any other There are only hopes and beliefs, one like any other (there are only dreams like any other) Worth living but not dying for Living but not dying for not killing for There are only dreams like any other (like any other) To all those that think that they know All I can say, yes all I can say One man's joy makes another man weep Nothing you can do is ever gonna change it One man's saint is another man's fool One man's hot is another man's cool There are only dreams like any other There are only hopes and beliefs, one like any other There are only dreams like any other... |
