These darker times
Where do we go from here? Living for trivial information It's a hopeless situation Blinded by lies False Gods and fake religions Ulterior motives and bad intentions Nobody knows what waits round the corner We gotta keep dancing Through the years We gotta keep smiling through our tears Nobody knows where we go from here In these darker times These darker times Why has it come to this Urban decay and revolution Suicide is the only solution Am I being unrealistic To feel so nihilistic Don't judge the stage of my mind 'Cos brother we're two of a kind We gotta keep dancing Through the years We gotta keep smiling Through our tears Nobody knows where we go from here In these darker times We gotta keep dancing Through the years We gotta keep smiling Through our tears Nobody knows where we go from here In these darker times Each night twisting Turning in my bed I'm trying to make sense of it all Is it all in my head? These darker times Who shall I talk to now Nothing going on in your eyes Only the darkness in your eyes It's a soulless situation It's a spiritual vacation Turn on the TV Pass the remote Turn off the light And abandon all hope We gotta keep dancing Through the years We gotta keep smiling Through our tears Nobody knows where we go from here In these darker times We gotta keep dancing Through the years We gotta keep smiling Through our tears Nobody knows where we go from here In these darker times We gotta keep dancing Through the years We gotta keep smiling Through our tears Nobody knows where we go from here |

Of his promise Believe What I say Before I go forever Be sure Of what you say So he paints a pretty picture And he tells you that he needs you And he covers you with flowers And he always keeps you dreaming If he always keeps you dreaming You won't have a lonely hour If a day could last forever You might like your ivory tower But the night begins to turn your head around And you know you're gonna lose more than you found Yeah the night begins to turn your head around Beware Of his promise Believe What I say Before I go forever Be sure Of what you say For the words may come too easy If you don't believe I'm leaving And goodbye will come too quickly If you really think he loves you If you really think he loves you You would give your love so sweetly If that day could last forever You would fall in love completely But the night begins to turn your head around And you know you're gonna lose more than you found Yeah the night begins to turn your head around But the night begins to turn your head around And you know you're gonna lose more than you found Yeah the night begins to turn your head around And you know you're gonna lose more than you found Oh the night begins to turn your head around Yeah, the night, the night, the night, the night, the night, the night Yeah, the night, the night, the night, the night, the night, the night Oh the night begins to turn your head around |

In a city lost in time
Somewhere sordid and sublime We met over a gin and lime One rainy evening Survivors clinging to the mast Trying to make the moment last just Two people way past their prime And how it shows So come over here For some romance And dance with me Like it's the last dance And come home with me Won't you come home with me This is our last chance for love You thought you looked like Carol White Bleached hair piled upon your head but You looked more like a lady of the night Instead In your see-through plastic mac Homage to cheap sixties tack you're So far out You're on your way back in Again I've wasted too many chances On small ads and Internet romances So come home with me Won't you come home with me This is our last chance for love I toyed with a cigarette Trying to look aloof and sexy But I couldn't see for the smoke In my eyes OK, I have a shaky limp and Dress a little like a pimp but After your drink I'll still look OK In a good light I had some dreams where did they all go Gone with my years Nothing left to show So come home with me Won't you come home with me This is our last chance for love Come home with me Won't you come home with me This is our last chance For romance Our last chance Come home with me Won't you come home with me This is our last chance for love This is our last chance This is our last chance for love |

Another day melts into the evening
I sit alone and watch the stars Remembering times I think of the past Here in my isolation In the solitary situation Reality hurts Where memories last When you whisper my name in the silence You stop my heart with a touch of violence We'll always be Together alone You're a breath in my ear You're a word in my mind I'm here on my own Just two of a kind Together alone Together alone You share in my deepest secrets You're here in my darkest moment Together alone Together alone You know what I'm always thinking You lift my mood when I'm sinking Together alone Together alone When you're here in my arms I'm dreaming of you Life will end when I stop Believing in you Together alone Together alone You're like a shadow At the edge of my eye Like a chill in the air Like a light in the sky Like the endless peace after we die You're a breath in my ear You're a word in my mind I'm here on my own Just two of a kind Together alone Together alone I don't need anybody I don't want anybody I'm on my own Together alone Nobody can understand us Nobody to make demands on us Together alone Together alone And as the bombs are falling I hear a voice that's calling Together alone Together alone You're a breath in my ear You're a word in my mind I'm here on my own Just two of a kind Together alone Together alone Are you listening to me now? Are you listening to me now? Together alone Together alone You're deep in my heart now You're deep in my soul now Together alone Forever alone You're a breath in my ear You're a word in my mind I'm here on my own Just two of a kind Together alone Together alone Together alone Forever alone Are you listening to me now? Are you listening to me now? Together alone Forever alone Together alone Together alone Are you listening to me now? Are you listening to me now? |

I'm having a mid-life crisis
Behaving in strange ways Wandering around the supermarket In a daze I try to fill my head With positive thoughts Try to get a rush From the merchandise I bought Out of my head Out of my head Where do we go When the feelings are dead Whatever it takes To get me through Whatever it takes To stop me missing you Whatever it takes To get me through Whatever it takes To stop me missing you I tried meditation Crystal therapy Colonic irrigation Didn't agree with me Road rage and new age Just tricks of the mind The onset of middle age Is all that I find Out of my head Out of my head Where do we go When the feelings are dead Whatever it takes To get me through Whatever it takes To stop me missing you Whatever it takes To get me through Whatever it takes To stop me missing you Whatever whatever whatever... Whatever whatever whatever Whatever it takes To get me through Whatever it takes To stop me missing you Whatever it takes To get me through Whatever it takes To stop me missing you Whatever it takes To stop me missing you Whatever it takes When only you will do I'm having a mid life crisis Help me I'm having a mid life crisis Help me Pour me a drink Chop me a line Roll me a joint Sir, you're credit card's declined |

I'm all out of love
Have I given too much I'm all out of love Because there's never enough I'm all out of love Have I given too much I'm all out of love Drawing up all my years I'm trying to feel something Calling on my lost tears Just trying to feel Summoning all my passion Some place I've long forgotten My anxieties magnify Doctor can you tell me why? I'm all out of love There's never enough I'm all out of love I'm all out of love Have I given too much I'm all out of love So many doubts So many fears All those demons that rise With the years Love came calling But the cupboard was bare I try to find my heart But it wasn't there Am I a spent force? Used up? Washed up? Left out to dry? Is it the same for everybody Doctor can you tell me why? I'm all out of love There's never enough I'm all out of love I'm all out of love Have I given too much I'm all out of love When regret comes to call It's a fear that visits us all Any love that's left is mine To keep me warm For what's left of my time As the final act approaches If I could I'd sit and cry But I'm drained of all emotion Doctor can you tell me why? I'm all out of love There's never enough I'm all out of love I'm all out of love Have I given too much I'm all out of love I'm all out of love I've given too much I'm all out of love Never enough I'm all out of love I'm all out of love All out of love There is nothing left I'm all out of love I'm all out of love I'm all out of love |

I want to see you crawl
As I drive by in my big black car With police outriders And a hundred guards Looking drop dead gorgeous Dressed up to the nines In the skins of several species In decline As I set fire to your houses And your cars I'll be dancing like a dervish In the sparks Is this what true power feels like? Racing round my veins Like a motorbike It's the fall of Rome My Caligula syndrome It's the fall of Rome My Caligula syndrome I'll display you in my game show On TV Called 'Humiliation And Hypocrisy' Throw an orgy for the dissolute And the damned Every kind of deviation On demand So worship me And fall down on your knees Or I'll unleash another Chemical disease Is this what true power feels like? Racing round my veins Like a motorbike It's the fall of Rome My Caligula syndrome It's the fall of Rome My Caligula syndrome Have I become just a little deranged? While you're crawling on your hands and knees Like slaves Am I still desirable? You're ever so destructible Do you think this party's ever going to end? Dance with me While our city is burning Won't you dance with me While our empire is falling Like Nero let's make music to the Fires of Rome It's my Caligula syndrome My Caligula syndrome |

You in the clouds over there
Hanging on with a wing and a prayer Forget your regrets and forgiving Life is not for lasting but living Don't be one of those lonely people Waiting for a bus that never comes Even little dreams are aspirations Out run your limitations I don't want to leave you With a cloud over your head Take some time to reassess And think of what I've said On an up On an up I'm gonna leave you on an up On an up On an up I'm gonna leave you on an up I'm gonna try and leave you on an up Not to cry And leave you on an up I don't blame you If you believe there's no beauty in the world But if you take some time to look You'll find it there for sure Too much cynicism Ridicule and vile derision But if you're guilty then I am too For seeing life through shades of blue Don't want to leave your head Full of dirty streets and falling rain I want to leave you with a little sun Here it comes again On an up On an up I'm gonna leave you on an up On an up On an up I'm gonna leave you on an up I'm gonna try and leave you on an up Not to cry And leave you on an up You in the clouds over there Hanging on with a wing and a prayer We're all part of the same plan Trying to get through life the best we can On an up On an up I'm gonna leave you on an up On an up On an up I'm gonna leave you on an up I'm gonna try and leave you on an up And leave you on an up Not to cry On an up |
