Shattered dreams
03:49
|
|||
Brought up on broken promises
A thousand time I've tried
Nose pressed against the windowpane
To fathom why they lied
A carefree kid, a golden child
Starting life so sure
That everyone and everything
Would always be that pure
But how soon disappointment came
In ever cleve guise
I realised the sham of life
Reflected in my eyes
Shattered dreams
Shattered dreams
Promises never kept
Teardrops shed a thousand times
A thousand times I've wept
Crystal fragments
Sapphire blue
Cascades of silver tears
Waterfalls of love and hate
Down throughout the years
Sounds and smells of times of gone by
Echoes of distant years
Hazy memories
Summer nights
A lifetime's hopes and fears
Sitting here and gazing out
Through the looking-glass
Wondering how we came so far with futures built on pasts
Please tell me what it's all about
What it's all been for
We live our lives
We love our lives
But still we quest for more
And in the end when life is done
And we're in our winter time
Tell me, was it worth it
Was life so very fine?
Was life so very fine?
Was life so very fine?

Watch them all fall down
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
Watch them all fall down
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemies' eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead, long live the king"
One minute, I held the key
Next, the walls had closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone it was never
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
All day all day
Watch them all fall down
All day all day
Domino dancing
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a broken string
Oh, who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Who's laughing now?
04:37
|
|||
When the smoke rises
You feel the flame
When it all goes wrong
You take the blame
Nobody wants it to be you
But you do
Say the words
But it's too late
You could have left it to chance
To luck, to fate
Nobody wants it to be you
But you do
Where can we
Go from here
What is left to say?
You can't just disappear
But I can't make you stay
We laughed too hard
Some say
It was wrong somehow
But in the light of day
Who's laughing now?
With the damage done
It feels the same
Where the silence hangs
A crying shame
Nobody wants it to be you
But you do
As the light goes out
The darkness calls
As the laughter stops
The silence falls
Nobody wants it to be you
But you do

Doing what I have to
04:41
|
|||
Maybe now's the time/To let it fade away
Although I stayed awake/A nightmare came that day
Somehow we lost the light/That kept us strong enough
To weather the storm/When things got tough
Now I'm only doing what I'm doing to get over you
To get through
Doing what I have to
I feel I've lost control/I'm so hot and cold
I don't understand/Why these events unfold
It's like another life/Came to an end
I lost a lover,/I lost a friend
Sometimes I want it all back/Sometimes
Sometimes I just need you near
Maybe now's the time/To let it fade away
Although I stayed awake/A nightmare came that day

All in the mind
04:03
|
|||
Problems at home/You're on the phone
Leaving a message/After the tone
Wallpaper ripped/Secrets have slipped
They know the answer/The balance has tipped
All/In the mind
It was all/In the mind
You search/But you can't find
That it was all/In the mind
Bigmouths delighted/With rumours ignited
Problems rush in/As yet, uninvited
Tension mounts still, pop/Another pill
Can't afford to miss work but/You're feeling so ill
You rush forward fast/The present has passed
Where are you now and/How long will it last?
With those you call friends/Their peculiar trends
You think you've a place in their/Lives, but that ends
It's all been too much/The pressure and such
Your body lies still/And cold to the touch
You've left it behind/They've wept 'til they're blind
And just to think it was/All in your mind

She dreams of getting out but she's
Lost to the world
With no-one to understand
No-one to understand
She paints a picture of the world
Where she feels loved
But nobody understands
Nobody understands
It's getting harder to smile in the dark
In a city full of hurt
And there's no way she can delve into love
Streaming tears, she's down to dust
And she feels
She feels
She feels like crossing over
She feels
She feels
She feels like crossing over
Now
Pain is over
Pain is over now
Pain is over
Pain is over
Pain is over now

Always on my mind
04:08
|
|||
Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could
Little things I should have said and done
I never took the time
But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I made you feel second best
I'm so sorry, I was blind
But you were always on mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me
One more chance to keep you satisfied
Satisfied
Little things I should have said and done
I never took the time
But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me
One more chance to keep you satisfied
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could
Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
Maybe I
Didn't love you
Maybe I
Didn't love you

Leap of faith
03:40
|
|||
I can't believe I think we've made a new connection
You and I
Go arm in arm and head to head in this direction
And don't ask why
We could see the world together
Underneath the stars
It could change our lives for ever
This love of ours
Don't look back
Turn it on
Take a leap of faith
You won't fall
'cause I'm here to catch you
Looking out
Turn it up
Take a leap of faith
You won't fall
'cause together, we fly
I wanna see your body moving to the kick drum
Feel the bass
And you should know that in this club you're not just someone
When I see your face
If you take my hand then I'll know
You wanna take me out
We can leave this club and then go
See what it's all about
Feel me
Next to you
Feel my
Heart thumping
Feel how
I love you
Feel the
Music pumping
Music pumping
Pumping
Pumping

At swim, two boys
04:39
|
|||
They walk along the bay/They swim there/Every day
If those boys knew/They wouldn't dare
It's not like today when they/Wouldn't care
No need to rush it
Everything to live for
Theirs, all the time
At swim, two boys
At swim, two boys
Drowning in their love
Here's a photograph of me/Keep it with you/When you leave
There's a war that/We must fight
Please come back and we'll/Get it right
