Thursday's Child
|
|
All of my life I've tried so hard Doing my best with what I had Nothing much happened all the same Something about me stood apart A whisper of hope that seemed to fail Maybe I'm born right out of my time Breaking my life in two (Throw me tomorrow... oh,oh) Now that I've really got a chance (Throw me tomorrow... oh,oh) Everything's falling into place (Throw me tomorrow... oh,oh) Seeing my past to let it go (Throw me tomorrow... oh,oh) Only for you I don't regret That I was Thursday's Child Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was Sometimes I cried my heart to sleep Shuffling days and lonesome nights Sometimes my courage fell to my feet Lucky old sun is in my sky Nothing prepared me for your smile Lighting the darkness of my soul Innocence in your arms (Throw me tomorrow... oh,oh) Now that I've really got a chance (Throw me tomorrow... oh,oh) Everything's falling into place (Throw me tomorrow... oh,oh) Seeing my past to let it go (Yeah, throw me tomorrow... oh,oh) Only for you I don't regret That I was Thursday's Child Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was Thursday's Child Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was Thursday's Child Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was |

Something in the Air
|
|
Your coat and hat are gone I really can't look at your little empty shelf A ragged teddy bear It feels like we never had a chance Don't look me in the eye We lay in each other's arms But the room is just an empty space I guess we lived it out Something in the air We smile too fast Then can't think of a thing to say Lived with the best times Left with the worst Danced with you too long Nothing left to save Let's take what we can I know you'll hold your head up high We've raged for the last time A place of no return And there's something in the air Something in my eye I've danced with you too long Yeah Something in the air Something in my eye Abracadoo, I lose you We can't avoid the clash, the big mistake Now we're going to pay and pay The sentence of our lives Can't believe I'm asking you to go We used what we could To get the things we want But we lost each other on the way I guess you know I never wanted anyone more than you Lived all our best times Left with the worst I've danced with you too long Say what you will There's something in the air Raged for the last time But I know you'll hold your head up high There's nothing we have to say There's nothing in our eyes But there's something in the air Something in my eye I danced with you too long There's something I have to say There's something in the air Something in my eye I've danced with you too long Danced with you too long Danced with you too long And there's something in the air Something in the air |

Survive
|
|
Oh, my Naked eyes I should have kept you I should have tried I should have been a wiser kind of guy I miss you Give me wings Give me space Give me money for a change of face Those noisy rooms and passion pants I loved you Where's the morning in my life? Where's the sense in staying right? Who said 'Time is on my side'? I've got ears and eyes and nothing in my life But I'll survive your naked eyes I'll survive You alone across the floor You and me and nothing more You're the great mistake I never made I never lied to you, I hated when you lied But I'll survive your naked eyes I'll survive Beatle boys, all snowy white Razzle dazzle clubs, every night Wish I'd sent a Valentine I love you I'll survive Naked eyes I'll survive I'll survive My naked eyes I'll survive I'll survive Naked eyes I'll survive I'll survive I'll survive |

If I'm Dreaming My Life
|
|
Was she never there Was she ever Was it air she breathed At the wrong time All the flowers so From the gallery With the hymns of night Singing come to me At the wrong time On the wrong day All the lights are fading now If I'm dreaming all my life Just one living chance When the mother sighs When the father steps aside At the wrong time Was she never here Was she ever Was it air she breathed At the wrong time On the wrong day All the lights are fading now If I'm dreaming my life If I'm dreaming my life Was she ever Was she ever here If I'm dreaming all my life If I'm dreaming all my life away Dreaming my life Dreaming my Dreaming my Dreaming my Dreaming my life Dreaming my life away Oh-oh Dreaming my life Dreaming my life away Oh-oh Dreaming my life Dreaming my life away Oh-oh Dreaming my life Dreaming my life away |

Seven

I forgot what my father said I forgot what he said I forgot what my mother said As we lay upon your bed A city full of flowers A city full of rain I got seven days to live my life Or seven ways to die I forgot what my brother said I forgot what he said I don't regret anything at all I remember how we wept On a bridge of violent people I was small enough to cry I got seven days to live my life Or seven ways to die Hold my face before you Still my trembling heart Seven days to live my life Or seven ways to die The gods forgot they made me So I forget them too I listen to the shadows I play among their graves My heart was never broken My patience never tried I got seven days to live my life Or seven ways to die Seven days to live my life Or seven ways to die Seven |

What's Really Happening?
|
|
Grown inside a plastic box Micro thoughts & safety locks Hearts become outdated clocks Ticking in your mind Now it's time to close our eyes Now it's time to say goodbye Now it's time to face the lie That we'd never cry All the clouds are made of glass And they're slowly sinking Falling like the shattered past Were we built to last? What's really happening |

The Pretty Things Are Going to Hell
|
|
What to do What to say What to do on a sunny day Who to phone Who to fight Who to dance with on a sunday night? Reaching the very edge y'know Reaching the very edge I'm going to the other side this time Reaching the very edge You're still breathing but you don't know why Life's a bit and sometimes you die You're still breathing but you just can't tell Don't hold your breath but the pretty things are going to hell I am a drug I am a dragon I am your best jazz you've ever seen I am the dragon I am the sky I am the blood at the corner of your eye I found the secrets I found gold I found you out before you grow old I found you out before you grow old What is eternal What is damned What is clay And what is sand Who to dis Who to truss Who to listen to And who to suss You're still breathing but you don't know why Life's a bit and sometimes you die You're still breathing but you just can't tell Don't hold your breath but the pretty things are going to hell I am a drug I am a dragon I am your best jazz you've ever seen I am the dragon I am the sky I am the blood at the corner of your eye I found the secrets I found gold I found you out before you grow old I found you out before you grow old The pretty things are going to hell They wore it out but they wore it well The pretty things are going to hell They wore it out but they wore it well The pretty things are going to hell They wore it out but they wore it well The pretty things are going to hell They wore it out but they wore it well You're still breathing but you don't know why Life's a bit and sometimes you die You're still breathing but you just can't tell Don't hold your breath but the pretty things are going to hell Still breathing but you just don't know why Life's a bit and sometimes you die Still breathing but you just can't tell Don't hold your breath but the pretty things are going to hell |

New Angels of Promise
|
|
New angels of promise We despair We are the dead dreams We take the blame Take us to the edge of time Take us to the edge of time We are the fabulous lovers I'm a blind man, she's my eyes Suspicious minds You didn't feel us coming In this lonely crowd Its always time New angels of promise We despise Don't fall apart now We are the silent ones Take us to the edge of time Take us to the edge of time We are the tabular lovers We listen to the storm Suspicious nights You didn't feel us coming In this lonely crowd Its always time |

The Dreamers
|
|
Black eyed ravens They spiral down They tilt his head back To the flame filled sunset Raise their guns high As the darken falls These are the days boys Shallow man Shallow man... and they Eats in the doorway With his head inclined And he's always in decline No-one heals anymore So he shrinks as they ride Under vermillion skies So it goes Just a searcher Lonely soul The last of the dreamers Shallow man Shallow man Speaks to the shadows Moves his trembling hands And he's always a little late For the dawning of the day So it goes Just a searcher Lonely soul The last of the dreamers |
