"Welcome to your life, There's no turning back. Even while we sleep, We will find you Acting on your best behaviour, Turn your back on mother nature. Everybody wants to rule the world."

"It's not that you're not good enough, It's just that we can make you better. Given that you pay the price, We can keep you young and tender. Following the footsteps of a funeral pyre, You were paid not to listen now your house is on fire. Wake me up when things get started, When everything starts to happen."

"In violent times, You shouldn't have to sell your soul. In black and white, They really really ought to know. Those one track minds That took you for a working boy. Kiss them goodbye, You shouldn't have to jump for joy."

"I believe that when the hurting and the pain has gone We will be strong, Oh yes we will be strong. And I believe that if I'm crying while I write these words, Is it absurd? Or am I being real?"

"Halargian world."

"How can I be sure When your intrusion is my illusion? How can I be sure When all the time you changed my mind? I asked for more and more How can I be sure?"

"Something happens and I'm head over heels. I never find out till I'm head over heels. Something happens and I'm head over heels. Ah don't take my heart, Don't break my heart, Don't throw it away. I made a fire and watching burn. Thought of your future With one foot in the past now just how long will it last. No no no have you no ambition."

"Shout. Shout. Let it all out. These are the things I can do without. Come on, I'm talking to you. Come on."

"All around me are familiar faces, Worn out places, worn out faces. Bright and early for their daily races, Going nowhere, going nowhere. And their tears are filling up their glasses, No expression, no expression. Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow, No tomorrow, no tomorrow."

"Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy birthday, happy birthday And I feel the way that every child should Sit and listen, sit and listen."

"And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had. I find it hard to tell you, 'Cos I find it hard to take. When people run in circles, It's a very, very Mad World."

"High time we made a stand and shook up the views of the common man."

"All our love and all our of pain Will be but a tune. The sun and the moon, The wind and the rain. Hand in hand we'll do and die, Listening to the band that made us cry. We'll have nothing to lose, We'll have nothing to gain. Just to stay this real life situation For one last refrain."

"Too many people living in a secret world While they play mothers and fathers, We play little boys and girls. When we gonna make it work? I could be happy, I could be quite naive. It's only me and my shadows, Happy in our make believe."

"In his face age descends on youth, exaggeration on the truth. He caught me looking then but soon his eyes forgot. And everything he seems to do reflects just another shade of blue. I saw him searching into you and ached a while."

"Winter sounds the crying, Like an old man slowly dyin. And the only sound, the wind that fills the trees. Even colder comes the moon, And though it never seems too soon, A sudden stillness as the rainfall starts to freeze.I'm Mr. Blue. I'm here to stay with you. And no matter what you do, When you're lonely - I'll be lonely too."

"Blue eyed dressed for every situation; Moving through the doorway of a nation. Pick me up and shake the doubt, Baby I can't do without.Move out, don't mess around. Move out, you bring me down. Move out, how you get about? Don't make a sound, just move out."

"For the times we've had I don't want to be - a page in your diary babe, For the good, the bad I don't want to see - a page in your diary babe, For the happy, the sad - I don't want to be another page in your diary."

"Came in from the city walked into the door I turned around when I heard the sound of footsteps on the floor. Love just like addiction now I'm hooked on you. I need some time to get it right. Your love gonna see me through.Can't stop now don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go. Don't go."

"I stand alone and watch the clock. I only wait for it to stop. And in the room locked up inside me, The cutout magazines remind me. I sit and wait alone, in my room."

"Looking from a window above, it's like a story of love. Can you hear me? Came back only yesterday, Moving farther away. Want you near me.All I needed was the love you gave. All I needed for another day. And all I ever knew, Only you."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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"

"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."

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

"Some people get up at the break of day, Gotta go to work before it gets too late. Sitting in a car and driving down the road, It ain't the way it has to be.But that's what you do to earn your daily wage. That's the kind of world that we're living in today. Isn't where you wanna be; And isn't what you wanna do."

"Can you wait? My plane will be arriving shortly. Right there at the gate. I pray that you'll be waiting right there for me.This time could be what We've both been searching for. Our whole lives waking up And coming back for more."

"What does this ship bring to me? Far across the restless sea, Waiting for the sirens' call. I've never seen it here before.There she plies the lonely trail, Getting through the breaking winds. Drifting slowly from the coast, She is lost forever more."

"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 don't know if I told you, but I'm seeking sanctuary. You'll never guess the things that I do. I'll have the devil round for tea. Don't you know that I'm here beside you? Can't you see that I can't relax? When I saw you in my rearview, You could've stopped me in my tracks.I'll be there for you when you want me to. I'll stand by your side like I always do. In the dead of night it'll be alright. 'Cos I'll be there for you when you want me to."

"This is why events unnerve me. They find it all, a different story. Notice for whom wheels are turning, Turn again and turn towards this time. All she ask's the strength to hold me. Then again the same old story. World will travel, oh so quickly Travel first and lean towards this time."

"This can't be real. My heart is burning. How does it feel? Well let's say I'm learning; It had to come. The ship has landed, It's time to run. The crew are stranded.We're having the time of our lives, We're lost in a cruel paradise."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"We could break every rule Anytime we wanted to. Don't be afraid to live this way; Let's defend the things we say.I want to be up in the air; I could be anywhere. Tell me I'm wrong, at least till tomorrow. Set me free and I will follow."

"We're like crystal, we break easy. I'm a poor man, if you leave me. I'm applauded, then forgotten. It was summer, now it's autumn."

"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."
