"I'm coming through the door, but they're expecting more Of an interesting man, sometimes I think I can; But how much can I fake? I'll speak until I break; With every word I say, offend in every way"

"There is a man—a certain man And for the poor you may be sure that he'll do all he can Who is this one? Who's favourite son? Just by his action has the traction magnets on the run Who likes to smoke, enjoys a joke, And wouldn't get a bit upset if he were really broke With wealth and fame, he's still the same I'll bet you five you're not alive if you don't know his name"

"Well, I'm sorry but I'm not interested in gold mines, oil wells, shipping, or real estate What would I liked to have been? Everything you hate"

"It can't be love for there is no true love"

"My left brain knows that all love is fleeting"

"Fell in love with a girl Fell in love once and almost completely She's in love with the world But sometimes these feelings can be so misleading"

"I never said that I wouldn't Throw my jacket in the mud for you But my father gave it to me so maybe I should carry you Then you said "You almost dropped me" so then I did And I got mud on my shoes"

"It might sound silly For me to think childish thoughts like these But i'm so tired of acting tough And I'm gonna do what I pleaseLet's get married In a big cathedral by a priest 'Cause if I'm the man that you love the most You could say "I do" at least"

"Soft hair and a velvet tongue I wanna give you what you give to me And every breath that is in your lungs Is a tiny little gift to me"

"My mind's already out of here"

"And I don't wanna break the rules 'Cause I've broken them all before But every time I see you I wonder why I don't break a couple rules so that you'll notice me"

"I guess I'm just another runaway"

"Come and tell me what you're thinking 'Cause just when the boat is sinking A little light is blinking And I will come and rescue you"

"And then my idols walk next to me I look up at them, they fade away It's a destruction of a mystery The more i listen to what they say So does that mean that there's no more doin' And there's no more thinkin' And there's no more feeling 'Cause there's no right opinion So can you tell me what I'm supposed to do?"

"Just a rusty-coloured rain that drives a man insane"

"And if I'm wasting my time Then nothing could be better Than hanging on the line And waiting for an honest word forever"

"Until her eyes crossed over Until her mind crossed over Until her soul fell next to me"

"You've got to get yourself together You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it. Don't say that later will be better now, You're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it."

"Choose your enemies carefully ‘cos they will define you Make them interesting ‘cos in some ways they will mind you They’re not there in the beginning but when your story ends Gonna last with you longer than your friend"

"This shitty world sometimes produces a rose The scent of it lingers and then it just goes"

"I tied myself with wire To let the horses roam free Playing with the fire Until the fire played with me."

"I was born I was born to sing for you I didn't have a choice but to lift you up And sing whatever song you wanted me to. I give you back my voice From the womb my first cry, it was a joyful noise."

"Love makes strange enemies Makes love where love may please The soul and its striptease Hate brought to its knees The sky over our head We can reach it from our bed You let me in your heart And out of my head, head.Oh can't you see what love has done? Oh can't you see what love has done? Oh can't you see what love has done? What it's done to me?"

"Take these hands Teach them what to carry. Take these hands Don't make a fist. Take this mouth So quick to criticize Take this mouth Give it a kiss."

"Take these shoes Click clacking down some dead end street Take these shoes And make them fit."

"Well the heart that hurts Is a heart that beats."

"Where you live should not decide Whether you live or whether you die."

"You speak of signs and wonders But I need something other I would believe if I was able But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table."

"Would you deny for others What you demand for yourself?"

"I could never take a chance Of losing love to find romance In the mysterious distance Between a man and a woman."

"True love never can be rent But only true love can keep beauty innocent."

"I like the sound of my own voice I didn't give anyone else a choice An intellectual tortoise Racing with your bullet train.Some people get squashed crossing the tracks Some people got high rises on their backs I'm not broke, but you can see the cracks You can make me perfect again."

"The more you see the less you know The less you find out as you go I knew much more then than I do nowNeon heart dayglo eyes A city lit by fireflies They're advertising in the skies For people like us."

"Sometimes you can't make it on your own Sometimes you can't make it The best you can do is to fake it Sometimes you can't make it on your own."

"Tough, you think you've got the stuff You're telling me and anyone You're hard enough.You don't have to put up a fight You don't have to always be right Let me take some of the punches For you tonight."

"The songs are in your eyes I see them when you smile I've had enough I'm not giving up On a miracle drug.Of science and the human heart There is no limit There is no failure here sweetheart Just when you quit."

"Lights go down, it's dark The jungle is your head Can't rule your heart A feeling is so much stronger than A thought Your eyes are wide And though your soul It can't be bought Your mind can wander.Hello hello I'm at a place called Vertigo It's everything I wish I didn't know Except you give me something I can feel, feel."

"Leave it behind You've got to leave it behind: All that you fashion All that you make All that you build All that you break All that you measure All that you steal All this you can leave behind All that you reason All that you sense All that you speak All you dress up All that you scheme."

"Walk on, walk on What you got they can't steal it No they can't even feel it Walk on, walk on... Stay safe tonight."

"And love is not the easy thing... The only baggage you can bring Is all that you can't leave behind."

"High, higher than the sun You shoot me from a gun I need you to elevate me here, At the corner of your lips As the orbit of your hips Eclipse, you elevate my soul."

"One man come in the name of love One man come and go. One man come, he to justify One man to overthrow."

"And we live by the side of the road On the side of a hill As the valleys explode Dislocated, suffocated The land grows weary of its own."

"I don't know, I don't know which side I'm on. I don't know my right from left or my right from wrong. They say I'm a fool, they say I'm nothing But if I'm a fool for you oh, that's something."

"And so we are told this is the golden age And gold is the reason for the wars we wage Though I want to be with you, Be with you night and day. Nothing changes On New Year's Day."

"Under a blood red sky A crowd has gathered in black and white, Arms entwined, the chosen few. The newspapers says, says Say it's true it's true... And we can break through. Though torn in two, We can be one."

"And the battle's just begun There's many lost, but tell me who has won? The trenches dug within our hearts And mothers, children, brothers, sisters Torn apart."

"Broken bottles under children's feet, Bodies strewn across the dead end street. But I won't heed the battle call. It puts my back up, Puts my back up against the wall.Sunday, Bloody Sunday."

"I can't believe the news today I can't close my eyes and make it go away. How long, how long must we sing this song? How long, how long? 'Cos tonight, We can be as one, tonight."

"I wish you were here I wish you were here To see what I could see To hear And I wish you were here"
