People who think they can
People who think they can I want to be just like those who think they can I want to be Not so far away From where I planned to be by now Time has a bad habit from flying I was sleeping when it passed me by I was dreaming of what I would wear when I go there. It's not easy being green in a world you have to tread on other people just to find a place to put your wares on show Its not required that you sing write or play you just wear the tightest one and smile in that certain way and think you can People who think they can I want to be just like those who think they can I want to be Not so far away from where I planned to be Good things come to those who wait I'm going to lift my head and keep my back up straight And when it matters most and I can't be found You just climb to the top and you will find hanging around with people who think they can People who think they can I want to be just like those who think they can I want to be |

I decided no one's knowing
anything about where I'm going I can't even talk to my friends anymore Not blaming anyone for the mess I've gotten in I'm only frightened by the things that I've done Keep me safe from myself I can't do it without your help Your love's the finest thing that I've ever known I want to come home Thinking back when I was young and you kept me safe from everything set me straight when I went wrong raised me to respect myself I can offer no excuse for this senseless self abuse and all the pain that I've cause you to feel When I hurt myself it hurts you more and that's what hurts me most of all We shouldn't go on hurting anymore keep me safe from myself I can't do it without your help your love's the finest thing I've ever known I want to come home Oh I want to come home X 4 Keep me safe from myself I can't do it without your help your love's the finest thing I've ever known So take me now and shelter me for there's nothing left of me |

Lest we forget,
your dates as a younger man. like how when you were 9, you fell in love because she was the 1st girl you'd seen throw a cricket ball. You knew that you'd be together for the rest of your lives. Now you sit alone in the sun, in the backyard, feeding the birds reading the newspaper. Thinking about the love that you shouldnt have lost. Love that you lost, love that you shouldnt have, Love that you lost, love that you shouldnt have, Love that you lost, love that you shouldnt have lost. When I was a child, I didnt see her much. She passed away before i was 5. I was so young that it barely affected my life. Then one day when i asked you told me she was magnifacent. all that i had was your word and a photograph. But that look in your eyes told me all that I needed to know. Love that you lost, love that you shouldnt have, Love that you lost, love that you shouldnt have, Love that you lost, love that you shouldnt have lost. Love that you lost, love that you shouldnt have, Love that you lost, love that you shouldnt have, Love that we lost, love that you shouldnt have lost. |

Woohoo hey hey Just a child being a child She didn't do what you had told her too Little big-eyed girl in a long world Maybe she embarrassed you With your fist you struck her down You walked away you left her screaming People lift their feet and step around I'm just as guilty You wouldn't treat a dog like that Wouldn't kick it in the ribs and throw it out the back Woo no So what else could she do but run to you When you walked off and left her in the streets all broken down I can't understand the force of your hand With strength of four men wouldn't knock me off my feet She was only three It's too late for me and my apologies I still feel guilty for what I did not do I should have helped you I bet you've been hurt before And you swore that you never would Now look into your daughter's eyes Are they just a mirror of your own childhood? You wouldn't treat a dog like that You wouldn't kick it in the ribs and throw it out the back You wouldn't treat a dog like that You wouldn't kick it in the ribs and throw it out the back You wouldn't treat a dog like that You wouldn't kick it in the ribs and throw it out the back Hey ohh You wouldn't treat a dog like that And all we do is turn our backs |

It may sound strange to you baby, oh yes indeed,
When I leave you tomorrow, I'll be pleased. I have been scratching at you for too long, Too long, I think it's time for us to part. I do believe, that it is time. It may sound strange to you baby, yes, yes indeed, But when I leave you tomorrow I'll be pleased. I've been scratching at you for too long, I've torn your heart, There's blood on my hands and it's time for us to part. There was a time (there was a time), that you were my only one. There was a time, that you were my special friend. But now I hurt you every minute every hour, The cream of our love has gone sour, I'm the weed you're the flower it's time for us to part. I think that it's time. Did you see it coming? (no) Did you think it would end like this? (no) It should come as no surprise, you should have told it in my kiss. But when the lights go down you stand me okay, I am a low-down vicious dog by the light of day, But it comes I'll be no more in your way it's time for us to part. Well I think that it's time, hey hey. I do believe, don't you know, You, you've had enough of me baby, I think it's time. |

You've been blind since you met him,
Girl you can't see a thing. I can see your hands are tied, Just as sure as they're behind your back. Been putting up with him putting you down for too long now, It's given him the upper hand. The woman in you can make him cry he begs for more, You mistake it for love, but you don't feel a thing, You don't feel a thing. Stuck, in the wrong place, Stuck, at the wrong time. Stuck, you're in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Move on move on move on, You'd be better off on your own. Cut the ties that hold you strong What's the point in hanging on? The feeling left you long ago, Now there's a space where nothing grows. Stuck, in the wrong place, Stuck, at the wrong time. Stuck in the wrong place, at the wrong time. How many times have you said to yourself, I feel like I'm doing this for somebody else? Not getting enough of the things I need, This love is bleeding me, Every word I speak is true, Believe me when I say that you are Stuck in the wrong place, Stuck in the wrong place, Stuck in the wrong place at the wrong time, time time time. Stuck in the wrong place, Stuck, in the wrong place, Stuck in the wrong place at the wrong time. You're in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Stuck in the wrong place, Stuck in the wrong place, At the wrong time. |

Moon hangs in the night
A spotlight on the world Rising the lands, moving the seas And tonight from where I stand on this hill The spotlight's on me I am young long ago I know not a thing Only that the sky is blue or sometimes gray Flowers grow but they need rain And when you're a kid you play games all day Anywhere you can Spotlight I found you I know where you are I found you I know where you are Formative years come along Some take the lead and some fall behind Confusion untold Life can be so dramatic But it was real at the time Laughing with friends Crying alone All the false hearts and petty love We leave school to face the world That seems fun for the world But you tire of the same faces And you dream of new places It was a breath of aspiration When my sister said "Let's get out of here" We left our town We travelled 'round And I went to find me Spotlight, spotlight I found you I know where you are Spotlight, spotlight I found you I know where you are Twenty something and the fog has all but disappeared With each day passed I learned something more At all rate I'm thinking here I must know it all Love, death, a little pain has passed through these walls Situations still arrive where I can see The way I behaved was unjustified These are the times I look inside And I see I'm a child after all Spotlight I found you I know who you are Spotlight I found you I know who you are Spotlight I found you I know who you are Spotlight, spotlight I found you I know where you are Spotlight, spotlight I found you I know where you are Spotlight, spotlight I found you I know where you are I found you Moon hangs in the night A spotlight on the world |

I was thinking about something else I must admit
I didn't hear a word that you said Remember to remind me not to forget To pay more attention now, attention now When you talk to me you can expect it To go into one ear and out of the next Ask me a question about something you said All I remember's what's stuck in my head You say that I shouldn't be so Vague, inattentive, a law to myself I guess that I live in a world of my own And all that I know now is all that I've known Sometimes life is like Russian roulette It's a wonder that I'm still around Twenty-four years I'm the first to admit I don't know nothin' 'bout nothin' 'bout it All of our lives we're alone Though we may have someone to call our own I could be right but I'm probably wrong I don't know nothin' 'bout nothin' 'bout it I don't know nothin' 'bout nothin' 'bout it I don't know nothin' 'bout nothin' 'bout it |

We grew up together in an urban town
Just me and Bill Jones always hanging around A mumma's little boy he was an only child His clothes were always neat and his hair carefuly styled Of all the games we'd play I could'nt understad why I'd have to be the groom and let Billy be the bride all those pretty dresses he would love to wear I'd wear a floppy hat and he'd put flowers in his hair He'd even wear my underwear A few year later we drifted apart My family moved south to make a new start I missed Billy, mum said that was wrong Dad said 'that boy just don't know where he belongs' Where does he belong? A few years later i was working in a bar It was all smokey and dark, There was a bluesman playing guitar When in walked a woman wearing emerald green With a voluptuous figure, She was beautiful and lean She was looking pretty mean A full martini shaken not stirred It was only until about after her third I started looking closely, Man i should of knowen It was my old friend, You guessed it, Billy Jones Oh my god Billy Jones! Oh shit Billy Jones! Tears filled our eyes as we began to speak He'd been living a lie, a life so descreet It made me feel sad to hear him say In a voice so sweet 'Honey you can call me Jane' As the night wore on we spoke of yesterday And how Billy had always knowen that he was gay I never knew how much a person could change From little Billy Jones to lean, lusious Jane Billy Jane Jones This Comes From My Heart I hope your nights are filled with a thousand stars But don't waste your sweetness in the empty air 'Cause you don't know how cold and dark it is out there That's the ballad Of Billy Jane Jones |
