Good days, bad days, I've had a few of those, Same old story-I know how this song goes, At least I did, but now I'm not so sure, Nothing's in its place, nothing's certain anymore, Birds fly, trees sway, why can't I be like that? Happy knowing what I am, in fact and leaving be? But truth has been obscured, I am only human and I'm always wanting more.
And the world is a place and they say it's on our side, But I wonder, is there comfort in those moments when we die? Now I see, Mr. King, this was in the books you gave me, Which I read, disbelieving, thinking poets are depressed, Oh, Mr. King, I have changed, I confess.
Oh, those good days I remember well, Tape on windows, wintertime was hell, But it was fun, and people there were kind, There was good work to be done, and I learnt to think my time.
And the world was a good place, and in days were where I lived, I imagined life had purpose and I'd something good to give, Mr. Cave played along on the battered hallway piano, Oh, every love song a secret to be shared, Hey, Mr. King, how I wish I was back there.
Now, I've got 10 things lined up on a shelf, Reasons to be cheerful for myself, I don't know why you're showing me the sky, You say you see heaven, I see hell, but want to try.
And the world is a place, and I pray it's on my side, But I'd find greater comfort if I just lay down and died, I don't know what's become of a girl who once knew sunshine, What's become of a girl who knew sorrow but was strong? Oh, Mr. King you were right, all along, Mr. King you were right, Oh, Mr. King, you were right-I was wrong.
In the race to get out of this place, I am checking my face in the back of a spoon, You're accusing, you say I'm not here, but I'm here, yes I'm here, I'm not on the moon, I'm leaving so soon, But don't presume to know shit about me, 'Cause I don't know myself from one day to the next, And I don't pose perplexities purposely, 'Cause it isn't a game, it isn't a test.
And now hey, you, could you give it a rest? Just take me home, c'mon and get me undressed, Put on a fire and make it enough, For we're geeks, but we know this is love.
Nine am to the beat of a drum, As we drive through the canyon, I'm feeling the hum of the engine, My head and my heart are a-swim, will your cat be ok? Your wife was she in? Your wife, is she in??? 'Cause I don't presume to know shit about you, When you won't really tell me until I beg you to, But I know that perplexity's a wonderful thing, It's a sudden found joy, the strangeness it brings...
And now hey, you, could you give it a rest? Just take me home, c'mon and get me undressed, Put on a fire and make it enough, For we're geeks, but we know this is love, this is love. Geeks, but we know this is love.
I like that we argue, But not everyday, Your scent in a room, And the way that you say 'color' not 'colour'. What colour today? It's grey, grey, it's grey.
Oh hey, you, could you give it a rest? Just take me home, c'mon and get me undressed, Put on a fire and make it enough, For we're geeks, but we know this is love, this is love.
Hey, you, could you give it a rest? Just take me home, c'mon and get me undressed, Put on a fire and make it enough, For we're geeks, but we know this is love, this is love, yeah.
5 o'clock and a fire escape symphony Spilling out across the road and the square. And the sky's the same as your own, do you think of me? Do the parks, and trees, and the leaves reach you, there? After the rain, in the lonely hours he haunts me, calling out. Again, and again.
Sophia, sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out. Sophia, sophia, I'm learning that some things I can't go without and one of them is him
now I walk these streets like a stranger in my home town. Learn the language, form the words when I speak But he changed me, I'm his ghost since he came around now I count the hours and the days and the weeks.
Passion and silence. Every word. Every line. A Measure. It's the science of the soul. And his books, they breathe a reason and now I, I wanna know...
Sophia, sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out. Sophia, sophia, I'm learning that some things I can't go without and one of them is him, and you, with your new born eyes, have you ever loved a man like I love him? Do you hurt but still feel alive, like never before? Oh, sophia. Sophia.
Sophia, sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out. Sophia, sophia, I'm learning that some things I can't go without. I can't go without him.
Hey was there something that you wanted to say? I don't know what to do when you look that way, Cigarettes and tequila at 6, And the sun going down on our life as it is, In the blue light oh, your face, it looks...so...pale, In the blue light, I can tell what you're going to say.
But all good people have a sense of themselves, They never worry, they know what tomorrow will bring, And all good people know the world is ok, Why should we worry, when we can do anything?
I heard that story, how you never went back, What your mouth will not say, your eyes do for you... A paper flower, and her pill in your drawer, And her ghost at the bar drinks tequila too, In the blue light, could we put this one to bed? In the blue light, will you think of me instead?
'Cause all good people have a sense of themselves, They never worry, they know what tomorrow will bring, And all good people know the world is ok, Why should we worry, when we can do anything?
In the blue light, could we put this one to bed? In the blue light, will you think of me instead?
'Cause all good people have a sense of themselves, They never worry, they know what tomorrow will bring, And all good people know the world is ok, Why should we worry, when we can do anything? All good people, all good people know good people.
In a little while, People and places will be so far behind, Out of my body, In a little while, I will play aces, And raise my glass in an act of defiance.
Until then, I'll scream until I'm hollow, I'll carve it in my skin, save it for tomorrow.
I'm gonna bang my drum, I'm gonna make it come yeah, I'm gonna bring it on, It's a heart attack a heart attack, I'm bringing it bringing it back i'm bringing it back to me.
In a little while, It will be perfect, I'll have a perfect style, Soon you will see, Not a cloud in sight, No cumulus nimbus, Just ninety-three percent degrees humidity.
But until then, I'll scream until I'm hollow, I'll carve it in my skin, save it for tomorrow.
I'm gonna bang my drum, I'm gonna make it come yeah, I'm gonna bring it on, It's a heart attack a heart attack, I'm bringing it bringing it back i'm bringing it back.
I'm Gonna Bring it On, In Just a little while I'll make the good things come
I'm gonna bang my drum, I'm gonna make it come yeah, I'm gonna bring it on, It's a heart attack a heart attack, I'm bringing it bringing it back i'm bringing it back to me. To me To me
Here is my story- A little sad of soul, a little weary Maybe I am that? Will nobody love me? Is an empty heart and a conscience all I have? If i die tonight, if I give up the fight Will you do something for me? Tell them my story, tell them well Tell them everything you know
I was born in the springtime Born of love and cradled in a misfit history Of blind faith and pantomime Oh, I know what I am but I don't see So if I die tomight, if I give up the fight Will you do something for me? Tell them my story, tell them well Tell them everything you know
So if I die tonight, if I give up the fight Will you do something for me? So if I die toniight Won't you do something for me? Tell them my story, tell them well Tell them everything you know Won't you tell them my story? Won't you tell them, tell them Tell them everything about me About me when I'm gone When we're dead and gone What will still be here? What will carry on? When we're dead and gone When there's nothing left What will still be here?
I stand in the distance, I view from afar Should I offer some assistance Should it matter who you are We all get hurt by love, and we all have our cross to bear But in the name of understanding, now Our problems should be shared Confide in me, confide in me
I can keep a secret and throw away the key But sometimes to release it is to set our children free We all get hurt by love, and we all have our cross to bear But in the name of understanding, now Our problems should be shared Confide in me, confide in...
Stick or twist, the choice is yours Hit or miss, what's mine is yours
We all get hurt by love, and we all have our cross to bear But in the name of understanding, now Our problems should be shared Confide in me, confide in me Confide in me, confide in me
Oh, this road is long, this road is wide, It takes more than luck to last the ride, It takes strength and it takes courage to survive, And did someone ever say to you, "There's nothing bound in thought you cannot do?" Well, I've seen some things but not all of them came true.
So I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first, Don't want to be alone with my thoughts tomorrow, And I don't want to be afraid, don't want to look away, I'm learning to breathe, No I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first, I just need a hope and a light to follow, Like sailors look to stars to find their way home, I'm learning to breathe on my own.
And I know a man who lost his wife, This is the way he chooses to describe his life, He says, "If I think too much, I find there's just a hole," But before she went, she left a son, He says, "Dad, you're not the only one, Maybe love is just a requiem for the soul..."
So I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first, Don't want to be alone with my thoughts tomorrow, And I don't want to be afraid, don't want to look away, I'm learning to breathe, No I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first, I just need a hope and a light to follow, Like sailors look to stars to find their way home, I'm learning to breathe on my own.
Oh, do you still feel small? Just a speck of life on an ocean wave, Does it pull us all? Does it pull us all?
So I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first, Don't want to be alone with my thoughts tomorrow, And I don't want to be afraid, don't want to look away, I'm learning to breathe, No I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first, I just need a hope and a light to follow, Like sailors look to stars to find their way home, I'm learning to breathe on my own.
Oh it's the strangest thing I wasn't looking out for anything My boat had just set sail I was flying as the wind prevailed What did you think you were doing, doing? I couldn't shake loose, not from you, not from you I couldn't shake loose, now I don't mind
Put your hands up Say you won't stop giving me love 'Cause I need you to feel me, feel me Put your hands up Say you won't stop giving me love I don't care if it's greedy, greedy Whatever you want, you've got it Whatever you do, I'm on it Whatever you want, you've got it Just put your hands up
I was a lonely girl Swimming lost in the widest sea But the truth of it There ain't no man could ever get to me Now I just see stars when I'm with you This is my heart that I give you What did you do with your voodoo, voodoo child? What did you do to me?
Put your hands up Say you won't stop giving me love 'Cause I need you to feel me, feel me Put your hands up Say you won't stop giving me love I don't care if it's greedy, greedy Whatever you want, you've got it Whatever you do, I'm on it Whatever you want, you've got it Just put your hands up
Put your hands up
Put your hands up Say you won't stop giving me love 'Cause I need you to feel me, feel me Put your hands up Say you won't stop giving me love I don't care if it's greedy, greedy Whatever you want, you've got it Whatever you do, I'm on it Whatever you want, you've got it Just put your hands up
Put your hands up now Come on and put your hands up now Whatever you want, you've got it Just put your hands up
All your sympathy and all your flattery Won't get me home tonight All those pretty lines that serve some other kind Won't set this spark alight You've a fix for feeling, I've a thing for meaning That don't come so easily It's the conversation while I keep you waiting It's the bit before, you see
You got your fingers on my wrist now Accidentally on purpose Close enough so I can breathe you Close enough to make me nervous
Love is hate and love is fire Fill my head with dumb desire Turn me on again Come on, come on and turn me on again
Creature chemistry, that same old enemy He gets me every time It's something small you say, it's something throwaway It goes around and 'round my mind It's inescapable, it's more than physical I'm born again, I'm born again I'm born again, I'm born again
I feel the rushing of my blood now Every time that you come closer I feel the rushing of my blood now Oh won't you move a little closer?
Love is hate and love is fire Fill my head with dumb desire Turn me on again Come on, come on and turn me on again
Love is hate and love is mercy First you kiss and then you curse me Turn me on again Come on, come on and turn me on again
You got your fingers on my wrist now Accidentally on purpose Close enough so I can breathe you Close enough to make me nervous
Love is hate and love is fire Fill my head with dumb desire Turn me on again Come on, come on and turn me on again
Love is hate and love is mercy First you kiss and then you curse me Turn me on again Come on, come on and turn me on again
Love is hate and love is fire Fill my head with dumb desire Turn me on again Come on, come on and turn me on again Turn me on again Come on, come on and turn me on again Come on, come on and turn me on again Come on, come on and turn me on again
