Here I go out to sea again The sunshine fills my hair And dreams hang in the air Gulls in the sky and in my blue eyes You know it feels unfair There's magic everywhere
CHORUS: Look at me standing Here on my own again Up straight in the sunshine No need to run and hide It's a wonderful wonderful life No need to laugh and cry It's a wonderful wonderful life
The sun's in your eyes The heat is in your hair They seem to hate you because you're there And I need a friend Oh I need a friend to make me happy Not stand here on my own
CHORUS
I need a friend Oh I need a friend To make me happy Not so alone
I make no promises, I make no guarantees, it makes no difference when you're all at sea. Try me for money, you can try me for days, I'll be indifferent when you've none you can't pay. Say something good to me, say it's not always. You've got the power, now, now give us the means. We can do it, we can do it, all we need is the money. Oh, you've got the power, now, now give us the means. You made your preference, you made your guarantees and it made no difference we're still all at sea. Tell me it's working now you can tell me for days, I'll be indifferent, there's no justice this way. Oh, say something good to me, say it's not always. You've got the power, now, now give us the means. We can do it, we can do it, all we need is the money. Oh, you've got the power, now, now give us the means. (solo) Oh, say something good to me, say it's not always. You've got the power, now, now give us the means. We can do it, we can do it, all we need is the money. Oh, you've got the power, now, now give us the means. Hey, you've got the power, now, now give us the means. Oh, you've got the power, now, now give us the means.
Sometimes I wonder at this shame I hide, pare away the man and find the worm inside. Your mind's unclear and instinct is a lie, I hear what you say you'd do and I wish it was true. How can he take you when you give yourself? All the old lines just to bind yourself, then you wrap yourself around me and whisper in my ear. Where is your jealousy? All I feel is fear. I want to hear it, and I want to see. Let me watch you make love and imagine that it's me. (solo) I want to hear it, and I want to see. Let me watch you make love and imagine that it's me.
I think my heart must be made of clay, 'Cause everyone said it would be broken some day, And now I've come to that fateful day, So I sit on the floor with my head in my hands,
And don't tell me how to make it pay, I write a new song every day, I just wish I was made of wood, I might not feel pain, even if I should,
CHORUS: Even if I should, If I should
The sweetest smile that ever did. Melt the pats in the butter dish. And if you could have believed in me. I swear to God I'd have made damn sure.
Our hearts were warm, And glad with wine. I'd keep the doors locked all the time. I just wish I was made of wood. You might not seem glad. Even if you should.
CHORUS: Even if you should If you should If you should If you should
I think my heart must be made of clay. 'Cause everyone said it would be broken someday. Seems like I have come to that fateful day. So I sit on the floor with my head in my hands With my head in my hands.
Baby, once more I won't ask again, don't tell me I should count to ten. Think freely. I won't attempt to curb your speech, it sounds like something out of reach. Oh, it's crazy, when I think of how I feel so free, maybe there is something wrong with me. Could be! (Finder), Oh I never seem to know when I will find her. I am the (finder), and that's fine by me, and that's fine by me. Bingo! You've said it, you don't care to play, just drag on through another day. Oh, maybe it's time you learn to play the fool, break some of your silly rules. Oh, and someday, when you think you can't do anymore, I'll be lying here to break your fall, so small. (Finder), Oh I never seem to know when I will find her. I am the (finder), and that's fine by me, that's fine by me. (Finder), Oh I never seem to know when I will find her. I am the (finder), and that's fine by me, and that's fine by me. (solo) (Finder), Oh I never seem to know when I will find her. I am the (finder), and that's fine by me, that's fine by me. (Finder), Oh I never seem to know when I will find her. I am the (finder), and that's fine by me, and that's fine by me. (Finder), Oh I never seem to know when I will find her. I am the (finder), and that's fine by me, and that's fine by me.
Here we are, between the towers of love and devotion. Why can't we seem to be what we want to be? Always placing obstacles in our path, in our way. I try to ride the chill in me, but here it comes again. (Here it comes again, here it comes again, play with me, tearing all my world apart) Here it comes again. (Here it comes again, here it comes again, play with me, tearing all my world apart) Here we are, and here we'll stay, wrapped up in an ocean, a veil of tears, imagined fears, and God knows why. But whatever I try to do it goes in right, and comes out wrong. I try to ride the chill in me, but here it comes again. (Here it comes again, here it comes again, play with me, tearing all my world apart) Here it comes again. (Here it comes again, here it comes again, play with me, tearing all my world apart) (solo) Whatever I try to do it always goes in right, and comes out wrong. I try to ride the chill in me, but here it comes again. (Here it comes again, here it comes again, play with me, tearing all my world apart) Here it comes again. (Here it comes again, here it comes again, play with me, tearing all my world apart) Here it comes again. (Here it comes again, here it comes again, play with me, tearing all my world apart)
So many problems, so many dreams, so many hangdog faces. So many ways to say "oh! I'll never see another day with you in it". So listen while you can, the first time that you ever have. I just grew tired, grew tired, grew tired of it. I just grew tired, grew tired, grew tired. I can count your saving graces on two fingers. Love them, sit on them. You told me that you're not afraid to die. And dying's easy, life that's hard. I don't believe a word. So listen while you can, the first time that you ever have. I just grew tired, grew tired, grew tired of it. I just grew tired, grew tired, grew tired. So listen while you can, the first time that you ever have. Life's not easy, but it's all you have. (solo) So I can count on you. Don't ever, never, never, never, never let it split away. And dying's easy? I think I'll try it out today! (I just grew tired), grew tired, grew tired of it. I just grew tired, grew tired, grew tired. I just grew tired, grew tired, grew tired. I just grew tired, grew tired, grew tired of love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
Seeing you, I knew why I'd come so far, and I thanked the stars for leading me to you. Your fairy tale prince, I'm trying so hard to make like an orchard in my own back yard. Oh the rain dribbles down me in my beatitude, my collar and shirt, down legs to battered shoes. Life is a breeze! I'm just making memories, good times or bad, (I'm making, I'm making) I'm just making memories, you're the best that I've had. And I'm still living my teenage angst, on the printed page and in other ways. So if I seem cruel, it's only the fool in me, that wants to try and see if you'll cry. Oh the rain dribbles down me in my beatitude, my collar and shirt, down legs to battered shoes. Life is a breeze! I'm just making memories, good times or bad, (I'm making, I'm making) I'm just making memories, you're the best that I've had. I'm just making memories, good times or bad, (I'm making, I'm making) I'm just making memories, you're the best that I've had. (solo) Uh I'm just making memories, good times or bad, (I'm making, I'm making) I'm just making memories, you're the best that I've had. I'm just making memories, good times or bad, (I'm making, I'm making) I'm just making memories, you're the best that I've had. No need to ask why I'm mischief and joy, I'm still the tall boy who just wouldn't crawl. I'm just making memories, good times or bad, no need to ask you're the best, you're the best that I've had. (I'm just making memories) I'm just making memories you're the best that I've had. I'm just making memories, good times or bad, (I'm making, I'm making) I'm just making memories, you're the best that I've had. I'm just making memories, good times or bad, (I'm making, I'm making) I'm just making memories, you're the best that I've had.
