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.

I can laugh about it now,
but couldn't then you made me ache, so I went for a run in the driving rain through your neighbourhood streets and then there you were, a shilouette in the wet night air. Me in my pumps in the pouring rain in a kind of despair upon finding you there, couldn't whisper your name. So, I can laugh about it now by your side Oh I can laugh about it now by your side Oh, sha la la la, we're all in trouble, is there room in the sky for all of us angels here on earth? And the very next day, through the shrieks of the crowd came your careless self your oh-so-couldn't careless self. And you just pass me by, your friends catch my eyes "we know you love her, we saw you dancing with her shadow". And I couldn't disagree, and for the life of me I could call out your name, and call out your name, and call out your name. Oh, I can laugh about it now by your side I can laugh about it now by your side. Oh, sha la la la, we're all in trouble, is there room in the sky for all of us angels here on earth? Sha la la la, oh we're all in trouble, or is there room in the sky for all of us angels here on earth?, on earth? I can laugh about it now I can laugh about it now by your side. Oh, sha la la la, oh we're all in trouble, or is there room in the sky for all of us angels here on earth? Sha la la la, we're all in trouble, or is there room in the sky for all of us angels here on earth? Sha la la la, is there room in the sky for all of us angels here on earth?, on earth? |

You should see my world
how it crumbled inside. You should see my world from the inside. Walls can have ears but what about you. It's not over, it's not over yet. Oh, I'll hold you in my arms, I'll hold you in my heart, I'm holding out for love. Oh, I'll hold you in my arms, I'll hold you in my heart, I'm holding out for love. But the truth of if is I was never so brave as to speak my own mind to misbehave. Mouths can tell lies and they often do. It's not over, it's not over yet. I'll hold you in my arms, I'll hold you in my heart, I'm holding out for love. I will hold you in my arms, I'll hold you in my heart, I'm holding out for love. But what if it's true, what if it's true, But what if it's true, what if it's true. You should see my world how it crumbled inside. You should see my world from the inside. Say it's a good one, I so rarely do. It's not over, it's not over yet. I will hold you in my arms, I'll hold you in my heart, I'm holding out for love. I will hold you in my arms, I'll hold you in my heart, I'm holding out for love, for love. I will hold you in my arms, I will hold you in my heart, I'm holding out for love, for love. But what if it's true. It is true. I will hold you, I will hold you. (Whatever it takes to get through) Hold you, hold you. Hold you, hold you. I will hold you in my arms, I'll hold you in my heart, I'm holding out for love. I'll hold you in my arms, I'll hold you in my heart, I'm holding out for love. I will hold you in my arms, I'll hold you in my heart, I'm holding out for love. I will hold you in my arms, I'll hold you in my heart, I'm holding out for love, for love. I'll hold you, I will hold you, I will hold you, I will hold you. |

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. |

Well now, you
wouldn't stay and there's not much more that I can say but your lips that I kissed will never go away from my memory they will remain with me. You were tied, now you're gone, there was time, now it's gone. Is this the best we can do? Have we come as far as we intend to? This was comedy, it is true, I was not innocent under you. Ah my memories, they will remain with me. You were tied, now you're gone, there was time, now it's gone, now it's gone. You were tied, now you're gone, there was time, now it's gone, now it's gone.

It's late an I'm drunk and my stomach
sounds like the hot water pipes in the attic room, and who'd have though the sky could hold so much snow inside of it just to let it go. So? The stars may shine and the moon may be blue, but what comes, comes from you? I was meant to take you there We could pack our bags and be on our way. Hold on to your childlike fears all your worries, tantrums, tears I don't need to know So? The stars may shine and the moon may be blue, but what comes, comes from you? So don't turn around 'cause that's paradise lost. Don't turn away, mersey rose. Nothing good could last forever. No, don't turn around 'cause that's paradise lost. The very place that we chose. Only dreams could last forever. Hold it now, there is something you should know I was never turn away from you My intentions are clear, that's the only truth. My only wish is never to lose. So don't turn around 'cause that's paradise lost. Don't turn away, mersey rose. Nothing good could last forever. And don't turn around 'cause that's paradise lost. The very place that we chose. Only dreams could last forever. Don't turn around. Don't turn away, mersey rose. Only dreams could last forever Don't turn around. Don't turn away, mersey rose. Only dreams could last forever Don't turn around, 'cause that's paradise lost. Only dreams could last forever. Don't turn away, this paradise lost. Nothing good could last forever. |

And never feel lonely (I don't want to) and never stay hungry (I don't care to) you are what people say you are, whatever people say you are, how can you stay happy? We never would admit, no, not to a man, if you can't get what you want, get what you can. But you always made me feel like I've just recieved and invite to last week's Halloween. And never feel lonely (I don't want to) and never stay hungry (I don't care to) you are what people say you are, whatever people say you are, how can you stay happy? If I'm wrong I will take it all back, if you ask. It's the price of good fortune I ask- if I can, if I can.

Your tender-eyes me with those baby browns,
'till I can't get around. The fact that I still love you and I'm not supposed to, this is supposed to be over. I'm not supposed to care. I wanted not to but you don't always do what's best for you. I no wanted to but you don't always do what's best for you. What's best for you. Was your first name "lover", was your second "nomore". What the hell were we lovers for just to end up this way? Now I feel that I can't go forward and I can't go back. And I wanted to but you don't always do what's best for you. And I wanted to but you don't always do what's best for you, what's best for you. I curl up inside when I remember all the times I was weak and the drinks seem to fly by like all passing years, buying dear and selling cheap, oh, selling cheap. (solo) You tried to make me so jealous, I resented your point of view. I wanted not to but you don't always do what's best for you. And I wanted to but you don't always do, you don't always do, what's best for you. And I wanted to but you don't always do, you don't always do, what's best for you. |

You're a big girl now
with a big girl's needs and a big girl's dreams and promises. Why don't you accept yourself, accept your desires and meet your needs, deny your problems? And don't cry, cry, don't cry, oh, you're a big girl now. It's so hard to be humble when you know you're worth more to live and learn is all we can hope for. And attraction of pasts like the blindness of the summer sun oh, but what will you do, oh, when the rain comes through. If it's to be then don't cry, cry, don't cry, And don't cry, cry, don't cry. Why don't you accept yourself, oh, accept your desires and meet your needs, deny your problems? If it's to be then don't cry, cry, don't cry, oh, you're a big girl now.

Everything changes when you think about it,
there's not much you can do about it. But another broken Irish sat on park bench, Feel his life like a gut wrench, like it's passing him by. So I feel like change, I feel like walking out and standing in the rain. I feel like change, I feel like change. Everything changes as you stare at it, we've all learned to live with it. But another bag lady, beggar man, thief, another low flyer came to grief, can barely stand. So I feel like change, I feel like walking out and standing in the rain. I feel like change, I feel like change. I never wanted to write this song. It won't hel what's going on- When we look at what's going on, two rights could make a wrong. (solo) Feel like change, feel like change. This is such a pointless fight. Two songs won't make it right. Three songs won't make it right. Maybe a hundred songs might make it right. Sing it. So I feel like change, I feel like change, I feel like change. And so I feel like change, I feel like change, I feel like change... |

Gonna fly up to the moon,
raising all of my money. Can't make it too soon, I am sick of it down here. Gonna rise up to the moon. So this is how the world ends- Not with a bang but with a wimpy. Don't laugh too soon- I am sick of it down here. Gonna rise up to the moon. Who needs all the troubles of today? What's the difference anyway? I feel out of focus, what can I do? There's only you. Gonna fly up to the moon, raising all of my money. Can't make it too soon, I am sick of it down here. Gonna rise up to the moon. When they open the borders where will you be? I'll climb the highest tree to avoid the stampede- And if I should fly only you, you, there's only you, that would say goodbye. |

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.

Rubber band, you're like a rubber band-
You keep on snapping back at me, so this is jealousy. Hollow vase, you are a hollow vase, and when you talk to yourself you hear an answer back. What type of world are you living in? What type of sweet thing would make the medicine better? What type of world are you waiting for? You give me one of those headaches one drink won't take away. Learning how to hate. Rumour true, rumour false- It's all the same to you on cloud cockoo. And every mistake that I've ever made comes back to haunt me, my own fools gallery. What type of world are you living in? What type of sweet thing would make the medicine better? What kind of world are you waiting for? You give me one of those headaches one drink won't take away. Learning how to hate. Our clam chowder comes without the powder- It doesn't happen here, this is a nice place. (solo) What type of world are you living in? What type of sweet thing would make the medicine better? What kind of world are you waiting for? You give me one of those headaches one drink won't take away. Learning how to hate. Learning how to hate. (Learning how to hate) |

Little queen beware, fashion tempers flare,
and they light up with a brilliant glare page after page, after page, after page, after page. A hollow vase only costs ten pounds but an empty vessel makes the loudest sound, and you have to get heard in this loudest of towns- or go under. We don't care if you can't pay, we don't care what you've got to say, we don't hear when you cry out- Our smiles are hollowed out. Let's talk about me. (Vamos a hablar de ti) Let's talk about me. (Vamos a hablar de ti) The people look like ghouls in the neon light, get the big city blues every single night. World gone crazy? It was never sane- not now, not ever. Bars full of couples not talking to each other, seeking solitude in the company of others. "We're not in love- we just can't resist each other at playtime. We don't care if you can't pay, we don't care what you've got to say, we don't hear when you cry out- Our smiles are hollowed out. Let's talk about me. (Vamos a hablar de mi) Let's talk about me.

Listen to the money while it talks,
makes you feel used up and small. You're caught between its hands. Why did you try at all? I listened and remembered what he said- "What's good for me is good for you. Be careful what you wish for- It might come true." That sometimes, at night, when you're alone inside your bed, you think about the things that have been said. That sometimes your life begins to go in directions you don't like. You can't resist the flow. If you listen then you might. Then you might. Listen once and listen good, what's lost is never coming back. The people that you trust are the people you should watch. Ohh and sometimes, at night, when you're alone inside your bed, you think about the things that have been said. That sometimes your life begins to go in directions you don't know. Never knew what you would find. If you listen then you might. (solo) Listen and remember what he said- "What's good for me is good for you. Be careful what you wish for- It might come true."

I run at things too fast,
only give them half a chance- Say what you want, what you will, but it's true. I'm far too lazy, I do enough but nothing more. I like to drink, I like to play- Do you too? You never know just what the blues are like until you take a taste of the sweet life. I found an angel, a reason to smile- A best friend. Until I knew her I never knew what a woman can do- Did what she want, did what she will- Is it true? She holds her own, she holds mine too, we do a marry dance. Do what we want, do what we will- Do you too? I brush her hair and it crackles with the static- I never meant to kiss her, it was purely automatic. She's my angel, she's my Betty Blue, she's my best friend. (solo) Her fingers drumming time, drumming time, Drumming on my heating heart. I got it good, I've got it bad- It's true, uh-huh. You never know just what the blues are like until you take a taste of the sweet life. I found an angel, a reason to smile- A best friend. She's gone, she's out of sight, she's my love me tender, my P. G. fright, my lady day in the dead of night, my best friend. She's my best friend. |

Hey baby, love the way you walk-
Got a knock-kneed swing goes back and forth. I could lose myself in the curve of you hips aching to kiss your sweet lips. Yeah baby, I love your eyes- They're sea green but they seem twice as deep. Like a man crossing the gridge of sights I am afraid to sleep. And miss the sweet the breath of your rapture. The sweet breath of your rapture. Hey baby, love to hold your hands, but sometimes the best laid plans dissapear like a smoke ring in a shifting wind. And yeah baby, I love your smile, it's worth the wait, it's worth the while and it makes my raw, sagging spirits rise- It makes them soar, it makes them fly. To taste the sweet breath of your rapture. The sweet breath of your rapture. To taste the sweet breath of your rapture. (solo) So make a guess, take a chance. When my fortune is made, what will I do? I'll be straight to your room To taste the sweet breath of your rapture. The sweet breath of your rapture. The sweet breath of your rapture. Hey baby, hey baby Sweet breath of your rapture.

If your lonely heart is aching,
think you can't take any more, you have to cup your hands to keep the light. I will lean across your shoulder and whisper in your ear that this is life. If you're old enough to face it, you are old enough to fake it, to get what you desire and still ask why. Then I'll tap you on the shoulder and whisper in your ear that this is life. This is what you struggled for, no reprisals, no resistance, this is life. Can you answer me a question- Have you lain awake at night, the blinds undrawn, the ceiling streaked with light? You feel tired but you can't sleep, feel so hungry you can't eat- Well, this is life. Has your courage seemed to fail you as you take your chosen path? You pass a camel through a needle's eye. Get up in tiny little pieces and you've learnt the major rule: that this is life. This is what you waited for, no rehearsals, no more stalling, this is life. Have it tattooed on the inside of your pink and sleepy eyelids; This is life. This is life. (solo) Absence makes the heart grow fonder, grow more foolish than we can ever guess. You feel your nerve ends slowly coiling and you hope the answer's "no", the answer's "yes". This is what you struggled for, no reprisals, no resistance, this is life. This is what you waited for, no rehearsals, no more stalling, this is life. If you can't do what you ought, lead by example, don't get caught, 'cause this is life. Uh, this is life. This is life. This is life. This is life. This is life. |

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. |

I gave you houses, I gave you furs,
I gave you them before you had the first. I gave you kisses, I stroked your fur, I love a woman now that you've had the first. It's not you, I won't give you all. It's not you, I won't give you all. Get out of my face. You took the houses, you took the furs. You took another after you took the first. You took my kisses, and those of fur, now I love a woman and it's the first. It's not you, I won't give you all. It's not you, I won't give you all. Get out of my face. Get out of my face. Get out of my face, out of my face. (solo) You know you have me to keep at will whatever whets you fancy, whatever you will. Took what you want, took what you will. Take my schonker baby and drink your fill It's not you, I won't give you all. It's not you, I won't give you all. It's not you, I won't give you all. It's not you, I won't give you all. Get out of my face. Get out of my face. Get out of my face, out of my face. |

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. |

Not for nothing at all,
not for nothing did I call, reason is: you're often appalled. Hold on now John, you never seemed cold! I thought you were in love, then I guess that you're not, ah, but then the first thing you wrote was: Hold on now John, hold on now John, hold on now John. And now you don't answer when I call, you don't answer then. You don't answer when I call, leave yourself alone, leave yourself alone. Cabbages and kings in your dreams, these are your dreams. Maybe they're not quite what they seem. Hold on now John, the blame is undone. Wash up the air, don't drive that car, never learn to play the guitar, and leave yourself alone, leave yourself alone, leave yourself alone, and leave yourself alone. You don't answer when I call, you don't answer then. You don't answer when I call, leave yourself alone, leave yourself alone. You don't answer when I call, you don't answer then. You don't answer when I call, leave yourself alone, leave yourself alone. Sweeping up the ashes of rock, sweeping up the ashes of roll, years begin to take up their toll. Though not for some you've never seemed cold. You don't answer when I call, you don't answer then. You don't answer when I call, hold on now John, hold on now John. You don't answer when I call, you don't answer then. You don't answer when I call, leave yourself alone, leave yourself alone. |

Now it's complete,
Ravel is in the rain standing in my dream street. I'd like to meet Ravel in New Orleans, hold out my hand to his. I was warned, now I'm old, still searching for what I'm told Is gone, is God, is not. Don't try to leave, I've tried so many times. The street is named desire. (solo) I was warned, now I'm old still searching for what I'm told Is gone, is God, is not. I was warned, now I'm old still searching for what I'm told Is gone, is God, is not. |

You don't follow me now,
ribbons in hair searching for answers when there's none there. Then follow me round, up my stair into my bedroom if I'm in there. Hoping for something because it seems the right thing to do. You know what to do then (Yeah, yeah, yeah) You know what to do then (Yeah, yeah, yeah) You still follow me now, temptingly fair finding your answers when there's none there Hoping for something because it seems the right thing to do. You know what to do then (Yeah, yeah, yeah) You know what to do then (Yeah, yeah, yeah) You know what to do then (Yeah, yeah, yeah) You know what to do then (Yeah, yeah, yeah) You know what to do then (Yeah, yeah, yeah) You know what to do then (Yeah, yeah, yeah) You know what to do then (Yeah, yeah, yeah) You know what to do then (Yeah, yeah, yeah) |

Sometimes you laugh
Sometimes we smile at eachother Sometimes you give a lot when really you'd rather not And sometimes you pray Sometimes you tell a lie Sometimes you take a hold of this your living day So many dreams for the asking And I'll wager there's one here who'll try to make a fool of you You're crying out for more More more more more So many dreams for the asking And I'll wager there's one here who'll try to make a man of you You're crying out for more More more more more |

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. CHORUS (Repeat) |

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. 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. I need a friend, oh! I need a friend to make me happy, not so alone. Look at me here, 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. No need to run And hide, it's a wonderful, wonderful life. No need to run And hide, it's a wonderful, wonderful life. Wonderful life, it's a wonderful life. |
