- All I Want
Ride the wild one cowboy in the rodeo
Love like crazy Juliet and Romeo
Living only to consume
Bruising hearts collecting gloom
Seems no place to hide away
From the hammer and caress
Dress with passion
Fashion for the parking lot
- Assault And Battery
The lives were taken
For feasts at the table
A life of misery
Ending with a shock
Brutal murder (brutal murder)
All hands to the slaughter
Mass torture
- City Song
It was that night at nowhere, I saw you standing there
Darlin' you were hungry for life, an innocent in this land
What is it about this city, that brings us all to life
Ten millions souls vibrating,
They're shimmering in the night
You mustn't think of staying,
- Don't Put These Curses On Me
Don't put these curses on me, oh no, you don't
Don't put these curses on
Don't put these curses on me, oh no, you don't
Don't put these curses on
Don't curse me with the love of money
It will burn me up and waste my time
Don't curse me with the love of intellect
- Dreamin' On
I don't know but I've been told
There's a place where dreams are bought and sold
I'd like to steal me a dream with you
Together we can sail the oceans blue
Do you feel like I do?
Don't get me wrong
But I need your love
- Elegy 1985
Please don't look at me this way
I am from the same seed as you
Take me back to the womb
I am weary of this life
Don't believe in my eyes
Don't believe in my mind
Don't believe in right or wrong
- Equality
Everybody wants to feel happy, even if you think that you don't
Everyone wants to know the secret, even if you think that you don't
Everybody thinks they're different from the next man now
But we just got to realise we're just the same
Always appear to be someone better
You know there will always appear to be someone worse
You know there'll always appear to be someone better
- Everlasting Love
He wasn't looking for a pretty face
She wasn't searching for the latest style
He didn't want someone who walked straight off the tv
She needed someone with an interior smile
She wasn't looking for a cuddle in the back seat
He wasn't looking for a five minute thrill
She wasn't thinking of tomorrow or of next week
- Hide And Seek
There was a time when there was nothing at all
Nothing at all, just a distant hum
There was a being and he lived on his own
He had no one to talk to, and nothing to do
He drew up the plans, learnt to work with his hands
A million years passed by and his work was done
And his words were these...
- Just Look At You Now
I’ve known you since you were a girl
When things just didn’t work out for you
I said don’t crack up and see both sides
But you kept on blaming the world for everything
I tried to tell you that you were in control
But you didn’t seem to listen to a word I say
But I’m never giving up giving up on you (I try to )
Help you see the world in a different way
- Last Supper
This is our last supper together
The last time we share in this intimacy
We have created a suffering circle that threatens to
Tighten and destroy you and me
Yesterday I flicked through the snapshots we
Kept to remember the tender times
Each little picture and each little memory should bring back a smile
- Law Of The Jungle
Law of the jungle only the fit survive.
Better make your life your own, do the survival jive.
There are no answers, words are Cul-de-sac
And the pity with actions... difficult turning back
Don't give a thought about those lucky dice
paranoid thoughts of worldly vice
The big thumb it never rests on you
- Life In One Day
The old man said to me said:
Don't always take life so seriously.
Play the flute and dance and sing your song.
Try and enjoy the here and now
The future will take care of itself somehow
The grass is never greener over there.
- New Song
I've been waiting for so long
To come here now and sing this song
Don't be fooled by what you see
Don't be fooled by what you hear
This is a song to all my friends
They take the challenge to their hearts
Challenging preconceived ideas
- No-One Is To Blame
You can look at the menu, but you just can't eat
You can feel the cushion, but you can't have a seat
You can dip your foot in the pool, but you can't have a swim
You can feel the punishment, but you can't commit the sin
And you want her, and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her and she wants you
- Other People Are Us
I've never been more lonely.
The night is closing in.
I wish for Monday morning and the people of the town to heal me,
Opening themselves
Like flowers to a cruel sun.
Going thru the motions
With no chance to show their deep emotion.
- Out Of Thin Air
They were guardians of the breath
Trusted with those precious chances
Keeping gaia from the fear of death
Balances must be defended
To take only what they must
(borrowed from the future)
Live in lovers of a global home
- Rubber Morals
Quickly checking what company he's in
Absorbing values like a chameleon
His rhythm and his method have got out of line
When you sit on a fence you get a sore behind
Must not upset the apple cart
He'll choose your views today
Having some kinda conflict
- The Prisoner
You have watched me, safe in your anonymity
I have dreamed you, held in your security
Some people believe a photograph traps your mortal soul
Your eyes ARE the camera and you've TAKEN hold
And you captured me
I need you to take control
I am a prisoner of no confidence
You've entered me now make me whole
- Things Can Only Get Better
We're not scared to lose it all
Security throw through the wall
Future dreams we have to realize
A thousand sceptic hands
Won't keep us from the things we plan
Unless we're clinging to the things we prize
And do you feel scared - I do
- What Is Love
I love you whether or not you love me
I love you even if you think that I don't.
Sometimes I find you doubt my love for you but I don't mind.
Why should I mind?
- You Know I Love You Don't You
You got the socket and I got the plug
I am the floor and you are the rug
I got the rhythm you got the beat
We feel it shake us from our souls to our feet
And you know I Love you
You know I Love you...don't you
- You Say
It's a cold world, it's a cruel world
When you haven't got no one to love
And all that poison builds up in your heart
Like a cancer killing a dove
You gotta stop that life [turning/turn it] upside down
You gotta find someone to take care of
I say, you're special
