AFFIRMATION - Savage Garden

I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food taste so good because it´s bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem
I believe i'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is never greener on the other side
I believe you don´t know what you've got until you say goodbye

Don't lose your way
With each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith, hope & glory
Hold to the truth in your heart

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end
Valley, mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Someone is praying
Please let us come home to stay

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

When we are out there in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark we'll feel the light
Warm our hearts, everyone

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and I

psychics **** OFF.

"Lucky Day"

You're much too old to be fooling around
You're much too young to be settling down
You close the door without a sound
You need to get out of this town

You believe
There would be no end
When one door closed
Another opened

When the darkness cleared
And the sun came up
I looked at you
And the damage done
You made it through
You found your way
That was my lucky day

I found loneliness in company
Seduction a catastrophe
And you don't know who you want to be
But you need to get out of the city

You believe
There would be no end
When one door closed
Another opened

When the darkness cleared
And the sun came up
I looked at you
And the damage done
You made it through
You found your way
That was my lucky day

When the wind was wild
And stole your breath
And you thought that you had nothing left
You made it through
You found your way
That was my lucky day

You're much too tired
To be driving at night
You could loose yourself
In the pale streetlight
And the signs on this road
They just ain't right
They won't get you out of this

When the darkness cleared
And the sun came up
I looked at you
And the damage done
You made it through
You found your way
That was my lucky day

When the wind was wild
And stole your breath
And you thought that you had nothing left
You made it through
You found your way
That was my lucky day

That was my lucky day

Ive been down so low/people look at me and they know/they can tell something is wrong/like i dont belong

staring through a window/standing outside,theyre just too happy to care tonight/ i wnat to be like them/ but I'll mess it up again.
i tripped on my way in/ and got kicked outside, everybody saw...

And you know that its a wonderful world/but i cant feel it right now/well i thought that i was doing well/but i just want to cry now.........

World Leader Pretend


(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)



I sit at my table and wage war on myself
It seems like it's all, it's all for nothing
I know the barricades, and
I know the mortar in the wall breaks
I recognize the weapons, I used them well

This is my mistake. Let me make it good
I raised the wall and I will be the one to knock it down

I've a rich understanding of my finest defenses
I proclaim that claims are left unstated,
I demand a rematch
I decree a stalemate
I divine my deeper motives
I recognize the weapons
I've practiced them well. I fitted them myself

(chorus)
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize, empathize
This is my mistake. Let me make it good
I raised the wall and I will be the one to knock it down

Reach out for me and hold me tight. Hold that memory
Let my machine talk to me, let my machine talk to me

This is my world
And I am world leader pretend
This is my life
And this is my time
I have been given the freedom
To do as I see fit
It's high time I've razed the walls
That I've constructed

(repeat chorus)

You fill in the mortar. You fill in the harmony
You fill in the mortar. I raised the wall
And I'm the only one
I will be the one to knock it down

"Wish I" by Jem

Baby, you're sailing today
Baby, you're sailing away
Sugar, wish I could go too
But honey you know
I'm happy for you

Wish I, I wish I, I wish I
Wish I was going too

Baby, your ship has come in
Baby, adventures will begin
Sugar, don't you worry about me
Coz honey you know
Want you to be happy

Wish I, I wish I, I wish I
Wish I was going too

But if you find that you don't like it
That the people there aren't inviting
Or that city life is too frightening
won't you come home
But if you find that you don't like it
That the people there aren't inviting
Or that city life is too frightening
won't you come home
please come home

Wish I, I wish I, I wish I
Wish I was going too
Wish I, I wish I, I wish I
Wish I was going too

I've heard people say that
Too much of anything is not good for you, baby
Oh no
But I don't know about that
There's many times that we've loved
We've shared love and made love
It doesn't seem to me like it's enough
There's just not enough of it
There's just not enough
Oh oh, babe


My darling, I can't get enough of your love babe
Boy, I don't know, I don't know why
Can't get enough of your love babe
Oh, some things I can't get used to
No matter how I try
Just like the more you give, the more I want
And baby, that's no lie
Oh no, babe

Tell me, what can I say?
What am I gonna do?
How should I feel when everything is you?
What kind of love is this that you're givin' me?
Is it in your kiss or just because you're sweet?

Boy, all I know is every time you're here
I feel the change
Somethin' moves
I scream your name
Do whatcha got to do (?)

Darling, I can't get enough of your love babe
Boy, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why
I can't get enough of your love babe
Oh no, babe

Boy, if I could only make you see
And make you understand
Boy, your love for me is all I need
And more than I can stand
Oh well, babe

How can I explain all the things I feel?
You've given me so much
boy, you're so unreal
Still I keep loving you
More and more each time
Boy, what am I gonna do
Because you blow my mind

I get the same old feelin' every time you're here
I feel the change
Somethin' moves
I scream your name
Do whatcha got to do (?)

Darling, I can't get enough of your love babe
Oh no, babe


Baby, let me take all of my life to find you
But you can believe it's gonna take
the rest of my life to keep you


Oh no, babe
My darling, I can't get enough of your love babe
Yeah, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why
Can't get enough of your love babe
Oh my darling, I can't get enough of your love babe
Oh babe
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why
I can't get enough of your love babe
Oh babe

All Of My Life - Phil Collins

All of my life, Ive been searching
For the words to say how I feel.
Id spend my time thinking too much
And leave too little to say what I mean
Ive tried to understand the best I can
All of my life.

All of my life, Ive been saying sorry
For the things I know I should have done
All the things I could have said come back to me
Sometimes I wish that it had just begun
Seems Im always that little too late
All of my life

Set em up, Ill take a drink with you
Pull up a chair, I think Ill stay
Set em up, cos Im going nowhere
Theres too much I need to remember, too much I need to say

All of my life, Ive been looking
But its hard to find the way
Reaching past the goal in front of me
While whats important just slips away
It doesnt come back but Ill be looking
All of my life

JOSEPH ARTHUR - Favourite girl

In your version of this world
Your everybody's favourite girl
But that don't mean i'll be the victim
Of any pain you are inflicting today

I don't know what I should do
I've been so happy being
So unhappy with you, but I just had a revelation
My heart's been dying of starvation
I need somebody who will feed me

And if salvation only comes when you fall
Oh lord
It's so hard for me to believe
Oh lord
I'm still waiting for you to call
Oh lord
Trapped inside my memory
Oh lord

Pretending to be someone
You know nothing about
Oh, i wish you were
Someone i knew nothing about

You're looking for any explanation
Your words only find a meaning in between
What's real and what will only ever be
You dream

Ways & Means - Snow Patrol

Getting too busy to make amends
I should try to make it right
Are you ready for the sh** to hit
I think you say you are but aren't
Doctor make it better instantly
You're the only one who can
I've been waiting here my whole damn life
And I've forgotten what I wanted

Maybe I can do it
If I put my back into it
I can leave here if I wanted
But there's nowhere else that I can go

Maybe I won't suffer
If I find a way to love here
I'd be lying to myself
But there is no way out that I can see

If I lied you'd know it instantly
So I just had to look away
All the honesty I've ever lost
I can't begin to even curse
I never knew the taste of blood till now
It's clear I never should have known
Breathing fire was never this much fun
So there's a dark side in us all

Maybe I can do it
If I put my back into it
I can leave here if I wanted
But there's nowhere else that I can go

Maybe I won't suffer
If I find a way to love here
I'd be lying to myself
But there is no way out that I can see

BRIGHT EYES - Ship in a Bottle

I want to be the surgeon that cuts you open
That fixes all of life's mistakes
I want to be the house that you were raised in
The only place that you feel safe
I want to be a shower in the morning
That wakes you up and makes you clean
I know I'm just the weather against your window
As you sleep through a winter's dream

Someone's churning the earth
Someone's stirring the sky
Every color at once in a column of lights
Bacteria breeds on a microscope slide
The worm in my heart is the apple of your eye
Don't adore what is impossible
We have built this ship in a wine bottle
But if you knew how it worked
We'd have to grow old

Someone's eating at you
Wakes you up in the night
If you're digging the past
Who knows what you'll find
Read the newspaper print off the microfilm slide
And you're holding your breath for the rest of your life
Don't you love what is intangible
I have built this ship in a wine bottle
But if you knew who I was
You would never grow old

Flicka flicka flicka!
Here you are
Cata cata cata!
Caterpillar girl
Flowing in
And filling up my hopeless heart
Oh never never go
Dust my lemon lies
With powder pink and sweet
The day I stop
Is the day you change
And fly away from me

You flicker
And you're beautiful
You glow inside my head
You hold me hypnotized
I'm mesmerized...

Your flames
The flames that kiss me dead
Oh, dust my lemon lies
With powder pink and sweet
The day I stop
Is the day you change
And fly away from me

The Caterpillar - The Cure

Tears of a Clown - Smokey Robinson

Now if there's a smile on my face
It's only there trying to fool the public
But when it comes down to fooling you
Now honey that's quite a different subject

But don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
'Cause really I'm sad, Oh I'm sadder than sad
Well I'm hurt and I want you so bad
Like a clown I appear to be glad ooh yeah

Well they're some sad things known to man
But ain't too much sadder than
The tears of a clown when there's no one around
Oh yeah, baby baby, oh yeah baby baby

Now if I appear to be carefree
It's only to camouflage my sadness
And honey to shield my pride I try
To cover this hurt with a show of gladness
But don't let my show convince you
That I've been happy since you
'Cause I need to go, oh I need you so
Look I'm hurt and I want you to know
For others I put on a show ...

Well they're some sad things known to man
But ain't too much sadder than
The tears of a clown when there's no one around
Oh yeah, baby baby, oh yeah baby baby

Just like Pagliacci did
I try to keep my surface hid
Smiling in the crowd I try
But in a lonely room I cry
The tears of a clown
When there's no one around, oh yeah, baby baby
Now if there's a smile on my face
Don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Don't let this smile I wear
Make you think that I don't care

Elliott Smith

Waltz No. 2 (XO)

First a mic, then a half cigarette
Singing Cathy's clown
That's the man she's married to now
That's the girl that he takes around town
She appears composed
So she is
I suppose
Who can really tell?
She shows no emotion at all
Stares into space like a dead China doll

I'm never gonna know you now
But I'm gonna love you anyhow

Now she's done and they're callin someone
Such a familiar name
I'm so glad that my mem'ry's remote
Cause I'm doin' just fine hour to hour
Note to note
Here it is
The revenge to the tune:
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Can't you tell
That it's well understood

I'm never gonna know you now
But I'm gonna love you anyhow

Here today and expected to stay
On and on and on
I'm tired, i'm tired

Lookin' out on the substitute scene
Still going strong
XO, mom
It's okay it's alright nothing's wrong
Tell Mr. Man with impossible plans
To just leave me alone
In the place where I make no mistakes
In the place where I have what it takes

I'm never gonna know you now
But I'm gonna love you anyhow
I'm never gonna know you now
But I'm gonna love you anyhow
I'm never gonna know you now
But I'm gonna love you anyhow
