"Answer me, why won't you answer me? I can't recall the day that I last heard from you. Well you don't get a town like this for nothing. So here's what you've got to do. You work your way to the top of the world, Then you break your life in two. Well what's the use in complaining When you've got what you don't need? Anyone would think you were hardened too. What do you want me to believe?"

"I just can't help thinking what you've done to me. You built a wall of love and tore it right down in front of me. And you think you know what's going on. You keep telling me that I am wrong. I don't care about what you do, Cause if you mess with me, I'll get rid of you. The picture you see is no portrait of me. It's too real to be shown to someone I don't know. And it's driving me wild; It makes me act like a child."

"Every time I think of you, I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue. It's no problem of mine, But it's a problem I find Living a life that I can't leave behind. But there's no sense in telling me; The wisdom of the fool won't set you free. But that's the way that it goes. And it's what nobody knows. Well every day my confusion grows.Every time I see you falling, I get down on my knees and pray. I'm waiting for that final moment; You say the words that I can't say."

"I like walking in the park When it gets late at night. I move round in the dark And leave when it gets light. I sit around by day, Tied up in chains so tight. These crazy words of mine, So wrong they could be right."

"I stood there beside myself Thinking hard about the weather. Then came by a friend of mine, Suggested we go out together. Then I knew it from the start, This friend of mine would fall apart. Pretending not to see his gun, I said let's go out and have some fun."

"Oh I've just come From the land of the sun, From a war that must be won In the name of truth. With our soldiers so brave Your freedom we will save With our rifles and grenades And some help from God. I want to see my family, My wife and child waiting for me. I've got to go home, I've been so alone, you see."

"I see a ship in the harbor. I can and shall obey. But if it wasn't for your misfortunes, I'd be a heavenly person today.And I thought I was mistaken. And I thought I heard you speak. Tell me how do I feel? Tell me now, how should I feel?"

"How does it feel To treat me like you do? When you've laid your hands upon me, And told me who you are.I thought I was mistaken. I thought I heard your words. Tell me, how do I feel? Tell me now, how do I feel?"

"Won't you please let me go? These words lie inside, they hurt me so. And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you Just what I want to do. I'm not the kind that needs to tell you Just what you want me to."

"Those steps which seem to take a lifetime, When eyes just turn and stare. The day begins, collapsing without warning, You fade from sight, there's nothing there.No hope allowed, calls are answered daily. Questions are on your side. Deeply moved, beyond all consolation, You felt the pulse, now hear the cry.In my mind, thoughts are becoming clearer. I'm watching every move you make, Counting time spent in observation. A single blow, a false mistake."

"My promise could be your friend, A given end to your dreams. A simple movement or rhyme Could be the smallest of signs. We'll never know what they are or care. In it's escapable view, There's no escape so few in fear Give in a changing value."

"Who is this man That follows me? This blue eyed boy Who wants to beThis worthy cause Of human kind, This pawn set up by time."

"Express yourself; Its one on one. Express yourself; Its one on one. Express yourself; You can't be wrong. When something's good Its never gone."

"I was standing by the ocean when I saw your face I couldn't look at you I guess you knew it, but I never realised that we were through. And now I'm down here all alone With every feeling that I own. You can't take that away. And with every breath we take, And the illusions we create Will come to you someday."

"He told me to close my eyes. My gift would be a great surprise. I saw tears were in his eyes. He never meant to hurt me. Oh, God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me. There's so many ways our lives have changed. But please, I beg, don't do this to me. Johnny, don't point that gun at me. Can I save my life at any price?. For God's sake won't you listen to me?"

"I feel so extraordinary; Something's got a hold on me. I get this feeling I'm in motion, A sudden sense of liberty. I don't care 'cause I'm not there. And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow. Again and again I've taken too much Of the things that cost you too much."

"You can walk, or you can run. You don't have to be someone. I went on a summer cruise Upon an ocean born to lose. My brother said that he was dead. I saw his face and shook my head. Can you see where we can't be? We're losing our blood in the sea.Cause it's the state of the nation That's holding our salvation. Yes, it's the state of the nation That's holding our salvation. Oh, the state of the nation Is causing deprivation. Oh, the state of the nation Is causing deprivation."

"That's the way, Shellshock. Hold on! It's never enough. It's never enough until your heart stops beating. The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain. Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating."

"I've watched your face for a long time; It's always the same. I've studied the cracks and the wrinkles. You were always so vain. Well, now you live your life like a shadow In the pouring rain."

"You just can't believe me When I show you what you mean to me. You just can't believe me When I show you what you cannot see.You're hiding from feelings, searching for more, Sharing and hoping, untouched for so long. Our lives still change from the way that we were And now I'll tell you something I think you should know."

"No, I've never met anyone quite like you before Bolts from above hurt the people down below People in this world, we have no place to go"

"Heaven, a gateway, a hope Just like a feeling inside, it's no joke. And though it hurts me to treat you this way, Betrayed by words, I'd never heard, too hard to say. Up, down, turn around, Please don't let me hit the ground. Tonight I think I'll walk alone. I'll find my soul as I go home."

"Help me, somebody help me. I wonder where I am. I see my future before me, I'll hurt you when I can."

"There is no end to this. I have seen your face, But I don't recognize all these things You must have left behind. It's a problem, you know That's been there all your life. I try to make you see the world without a view That just turns black and white. At night it gets cold and You'd dearly like to turn away. The escape that fills that makes you want to turn on heel Alone, alone, alone, alone."

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

"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."

"It's a beautiful day. Don't let it get away."

"There was a badness that had its way Love was not lost, love will have its day"

"She feel the ground is giving way But she thinks we're better off that way. The more you take, the less you feel The less you know the more you believe The more you have, the more it takes today."

"Jesus never let me down You know Jesus used to show me the score. Then they put Jesus in show business Now it's hard to get in the door.It's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs But I guess it was something to go on. Hey, if God will send his angels I sure could use them here right now"

"It's the blind leading the blond It's the cops collecting for the cons. So where is the hope and Where is the faith and the love? What's that you say to me Does love light up your Christmas tree? The next minute you're blowing a fuse And the cartoon network turns into the news."

"You bury your treasure where it can't be found But your love is a secret that's been passed around. There is a silence that comes to a house Where no-one can sleep. I guess it's the price of love; I know it's not cheap."

"And a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle When you're tryin' to throw your arms around the world."

"How far you gonna go before you lose your way back home? You been tryin' to throw your arms around the world."

"Johnny, take a dive with your sister in the rain Let her talk about the things you can't explain To touch is to heal, to hurt is to steal If you want to kiss the sky, better learn how to kneel. On your knees, boy."

"It's alright, it's alright, it's alright She moves in mysterious ways."

"Who's gonna ride your wild horses? Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?... Took a drive in the dirty rain To a place where the wind calls your name Under the trees, the river laughing at you and me Hallelujah, heaven's white rose The doors you open, I just can't close... Don't turn around Don't turn around again... Come on now love Don't you look back"

"In my dream, I was drowning my sorrows But my sorrows they'd learned to swim Surrounding me, going down on me Spilling over the brim Waves of regret and waves of joy. I reached out for the one I tried to destroy. You, you said you'd wait till the end of the world."

"You say love is a temple, love a higher law Love is a temple, love the higher law. You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl And I can't be holding on to what you got, when all you got is hurt.One love, one blood One life, you got to do what you should One life, with each other Sisters, brothers One life, but we're not the same We get to carry each other, carry each other"

"Have you come here for forgiveness? Have you come to raise the dead? Have you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head? Did I ask too much? More than a lot. You gave me nothing. Now it's all I got. We're one, But we're not the same. Well, we hurt each other, Then we do it again."

"Did I disappoint you? Or leave a bad taste in your mouth? You act like you never had love And you want me to go without. Well it'sToo late Tonight To drag the past out into the light. We're one, but we're not the same. We get to Carry each other, Carry each other. One."

"Give me one more chance, and you'll be satisfied. Give me two more chances, you won't be denied. Well my heart is where it's always been My head is somewhere in between Give me one more chance, let me be your lover tonight."

"You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold You say you want your story to remain untold. All the promises we make From the cradle to the grave When all I want is you."

"Don't believe the devil I don't believe his book But the truth is not the same Without the lies he made up. Don't believe in excess Success is to give Don't believe in riches But you should see where I live. I, I believe in love."

"When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame. Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down But I did what I did before love came to town."
