I've got the feeling You've got the feeling I've got the feeling You've got the feeling
Oh love don't go away I wish you'd stay Can I change your mind? I'm the king of dreaming in a wishful way When i'm wide awake But there comes a time
And I see that what i'm needing Is a feeling to believe in
Maybe it's true And i'm just a fool Who's making us blue When life's too short
Oh love is kind of tempting fate It's an unknown state In a place I can't find And now I know i've kind of lost my way But I keep the faith With an open mind
And now I know i'm kind of lost But I keep the faith
I've got the feeling, you've got the feeling Oh i've got the feeling You've got that feeling too Life's too short, life's too short
I've been on my own all day With Al Green and Marvin Gaye Waiting for rewind to play I'm anticipating Mood strings Al sings once more Everything is changing You've played mind games before
I thought there's be fireworks I expected changes I thought there'd be trumpets Sweetest soul sensations
I've been on my own all day Nothing seems to be OK Blue eyed soul has turned to grey Everything reminds you Love brings mood swings love hurts Every time I try to hold back or get in You slam doors
I thought there'd be fireworks I expected changes I thought there'd be trumpets Sweetest soul sensations
Sitting on my own as I Draw the blinds Reaching out for someone to compromise Al was letting go as we start to fight
I thought there's be fireworks I expected changes I thoughts there'd be trumpets Swetest soul sensations
A joke is not a joke It's serious stuff Till it's laughed at This moment's not the past It's nothing at all till I say that
Angel throw me a line It's about time It's about time Never too late I will escape I just can't wait
Don't tell me there's no tears left to cry Don't tell me that you're lonely you're lonely Remembering the who, how and why Don't tell i'm your only if only
The glitter and the gloom A catch a glimpse of you in the room Dollar bills for dreams Nothing round here's quite what it seems
Angel throw me a line It's about time It's about time Never too late I wills escape I just can't wait
Don't tell me there's no tears left to cry Don't tell me that you're lonely You're lonely Remembering the who, how and why Don't tell me i'm your only if only
If I could feel it If only If I could mean it If only
I was never one to shout out loud Or stand out in a crowded crowd of people with their ball point views But here I am to bare my soul, lose the past and take control Of everything that I hold true, and now I wish I was in love
I was never one to make a fuss, even then the two of us Were tumbling form all we knew I could say I needed you, but would that give you the reason to Believe that you could need me too
And now I wish I was in love
Holding on for dear life This is what it feels like Coming in from outside Looking for a life line
Every day and every night I'm stopping planes collide On my own above blue skies I'm a happy satellite
I watch the world's ugliness it all unfolds as I pass I see the young and depressed, I hope they learn how to laugh I'm watching heartache and pain I measure levels of rain I notice changes in tides, I know where you were last night
I record famines and droughts Weather fronts and shoot outs Deforestation and floods I'm watcinhg couples make love I'm numb with typhoons and hate Even police make mistakes In lakes outside of new towns I'm watching UFOs drown
I'm just a machine that records all I see and You can shower me with praises Or arm me with lasers
Up where the skies are blue, I follow your every move, I'm watching over you, I know when you're cruel I love it when lightning strikes, it lights up your dreary lives I wish I was blind
If this is the life, if this is the way it is meant to be How happy am I, how happy am I supposed to be? Looking for something deep inside Why is the truth so hard to find Whatever gets you through this life, get it right
Call it a day, call me and say it's better Out of the way, into a new whatever now Hoping to float above it all Hoping that someone breaks my fall Whatever gets you through this life, get it right
Ups and downs can turn around All the ins and outs are roundabouts Maybe skies are clear but no-ones here to notice me Lie awake on your own each night See yourself in a different light In a tangle you just can't unwind And feelings you can't describe
Hoping to float above it all Hoping that someone breaks my fall Whatever gets you through this life, get it right
Open your eyes with a smile at the morning rain Turn on your mind and you know what you're going to say I'm glad you're here and I hope you stay We'll phone in sick today Stay in bed and talk all day For a while we could cast away Let the hours just drift away
Cigarettes and lies are all there's ever been You'll never win you should have known by now Expecting to fly away, it's counterfeit It's not the trip you should be on by now
Searching your mind, can you find what your looking for Suprises are fine if you get what you're wishing for If you never fly you'll never fall So love the now because the now is all Live the life because you can't be sure
Cigarettes and lies are all there's ever been You'll never win you should have known by now Expecting to fly away, it's counterfeit It's now the trip you should be on by now
And there were times odd moments We'd dteal when i'd wish that time stood still Knowing it won't, but hoping it will, i'm hoping it will
Fourteen hours of working shifts In early morning Mersey mists Too tired to taste the cornflakes on your tongue
As morning hits the docks You dream of all the ships there must have been I river full of everything that it's not And if your life's not meant to feel like this Maybe it's time for someone to resist
The riverbank could tell you tales Of working lives, ship with sails Jobs were passed from fathers to their sons Sometimes it comes down to you The many to protect the few Unless you cross the line your jobs are gone
If it takes a thousand days we'll never stop Tel it a thousand ways you'll still be wrong
Not a word in the morning paper Feels like we've been out for ages Maybe unions and players won't save us But there's nothing on earth can break us
The strength to load a thousand ships But willing hands can turn to fists On picket lines emotions feelings overflow A decent job for decent pay To fight if thats the only way The union says well tough your on your own
If it takes a thousand days we'll never stop Tell it a thousand ways you'll still be wrong
Not a word in the morning papers Feels like we've been out for ages The unions and prayers won't save us There's nothing on earth can break us
The sun's a dream that shines so bright it makes you cry So keep your eyes on bluer skies Tonight I wanna fly and kiss the highest star Go far away get lost in space
And if there's no-one there to guide me Tell me how you get it straight I'm hoping fate will find me To free me from my present state
Of dizzy nights with crazy dreams Drowning in a human stream Won't you come and rescue me
'Cos when the walls are closing in On days where the strangest things remind me Of all the things that could have been Like whispers on the winds that blow me
Doesn't matter how I try You're always on my mind Today's a sea that never ends i've really tried It just rolls by till it hits the sky
I'd beg the moon to end the day And change the tide Bit it's really high and i'm really tired
I'm hoping fate will find me tomorrow could be up or down But nowhere inside my is believing in forever now
The future may be twice as cool I don't know where i'm going to Won't you come and see me through
Come and do it to me babe Come and do it for be baby Only you can do it for me babe
He's moving into an art deco pad To swell the ranks of the clinically sad Shaking off the past with a change of address But keeps his telephone number And hopes for the best
He makes a list of all his favourite friends Then leaves his footprints On the steps that shine With tears that he has wept again And again and again and again
He bought his clothes from a skateboard boutizue Hung around in places where nobody speaks Got on line to an internet club Played trivial persuit with the godess of love
And counted his imaginary friends, Got up to ten, lost count and then Went out to walk the streets Till god knows when
He met a girls who liked a bit of a laugh He gained the youth that he'd forgotten to have So now they mess about with things That are highly illegal Often get mistaken for interesting people
And no-one ever seems to ring their bell But do they care, well do they hell They're gonna kiss and never tell again And again and again and again
Get a life, get a job, Did you know you were the kind of slob Who's in bed asleep all day I used to be that way
Here and now although I never say out loud Now and then you know that there's a moment when
I could leave, get out now, Get on and roll the world is big and round Anytime, anyday, I used to think that way
Oh, but I know it's true She's got a hold on you And then half your life, It just went sailing by Her whole world's intoxicating me All my senses are at sea
She's the kind of girl, She's got you in a whirl It gets so complicated Me, I'm not proud, I'll say now The girl is so frustrating, Keeps me wishing, keeps me waiting
Lost in this world like a child all at sea You see your life drifting by But today is all you need
Here and now although I never say out loud Now and then you know that there's a moment when
Oh, I just know it's true, She's got a hold on you Oh, and it feels so nice, This feels like paradise You've bet your life
You've bet your life, you've bet your life It's just bet your life
You've been away so long, too long, What's wrong with us today We're running out of funny things to say Home, I'm almost glad you made it I'd never thought I'd see the day
What if now, after all What if everything You've got made you want more What if now, after all You're still not sure
Remember, when a thought could last Forever and a day Well, lets get back to waking up that way Love, I'm almost glad we've made it I never thought we'd see the day
What if now, after all What if everything You've got made you want more What if now, after all, You're still not sure
But before you slip, take a friendly tip From a friendly face on a sinking ship Don't ever doubt it, scream and shout it out
(What if I miss you) (What if I need you)
What if now, after all What if everything You've got made you want more What if now, after all, You're still not sure
What if now, after all What if everything You've got made you want more What if now, after all, You're still not sure
What if now, after all What if everything You've got made you want more What if now, after all, You're still not sure
A smile to break the ice, Can I know your name If you say no and it's touch and go, Nothing would have been the same
Oh, was it stardust or just lust Well one touch is just not enough Faces change but somewhere In the passing crowd, The face you just can't live without
Nothing changed but nothing seems the same Remembering a thousand things I meant to say The past's a sea of boys and girls Who disappeared without a word All friends of mine who had their timm, Then drifted away
Delights, dizzy heights, Will you change your name? If you say no and it's touch and go Nothing's going to seem the same
Oh, but the stars are out, They're shining down They whisper through the passing clouds Don't be scared the wind will come, Blow you home, don't be afraid, 'Cos you're not alone
Nothing's changed but nothing seems the same Remembering a thousand things I meant to say The past's a sea of boys and girls Who disappeared without a word All friends of mine who had their time, Then drifted away
Tell it to me one more time Oh, 'cos I'll never get to feel The same way, tonight I'll remember every line, every line I'll never get to hear The same words, not twice
Nothing's changed but nothing seems the same Remembering a thousand things I meant to say The past's a sea of boys and girls Who disappeared without a word All friends of mine who had their time, Then drifted away
Remember all the Mersey skies On rainy streets, I spent the night With friends of mine who had they're time Then drifted away
You have to cut right Through all the Pepsi lies And hold on tight, it's a stormy ride To get through to what you do
Like you do, from wheels that never turn And lessons never learned Searching for a space Where dreams will never burn Through the twists and turns, It's a funny world
Are you the king of cool with a secret sign Or the king of fools in a pack of lies Get through to what you do
Like you do, from keys that never wind A place without a time Wishing on a star that's never gonna shine Through the twists and turns, It's a funny world
- interlude -
Get through to what you do
Like you do from wheels that never turn, Lessons never learned Searching for a space Where dreams will never burn Through the twists and turns, It's a funny world
Be everything you are, cherish what is true Celebrate with those who need to be with you Throuoh the twists and turns, It's a funny world, it's a funny world It's a funny world, it's a funny world
See those eyes are brown I wish they were blue Take that wish away and make it come true I know you could be wrong But maybe you're right Take that wishaway and do what you like A wishaway, a wishaway
You laugh and grab the words Before they get loose Put that wish away, in case it comes true I wish today you'd stay, maybe tonight You'd blow away the smoke and hold me tight A wishaway, a wishaway
Oh, don't you lie, I can read you're mind I know you never would But you feel as though you wish you could be A wishaway, a wishaway
Do you feel alive, will you be alright I hope you do, I know you do
