What can I do to make light of this dull dull day
What switch can I pull to illuminate the way
Show me one direction
I will not question again
For a warm injection
Is all I need to calm the pain

We all need a love resurrection
Just a little divine intervention
We all need a love resurrection
Just a little divine intervention

What seed must I sow to replenish this barren land
Teach me to harvest I want you to grow in my hand
Lets be optimistic, lets say that we won't toil in vain
If we pull together we'll never fall apart again

We all need a love resurrection
Just a little divine intervention
We all need a love resurrection
Just a little divine intervention

Show me one direction
I will not question again
For a warm injection
Is all I need to calm the pain

. . .



Here I am and I want you to see baby
I wanna watch you watching me in motion
To taste the secret side of me
Every time I look at you I know
Your fighting your emotions
Now you have no choice but to let go
And dive into my ocean

Honey for the bees
Sugar never was so sweet
Honey for the bees
Sugar never was so sweet

Hold my hand I'm going to set you free baby
I'm going to let you fly all over me
Show me a lock and I'll show you the key
Every time you feel like holding back
I'm gonna pull you deeper
Always staring from the beaten track
And I would be the reaper

Honey for the bees
Sugar never was so sweet
Honey for the bees
Sugar never was so sweet

Sugar never was sweeter
Sugar
Every time I look at you I know
Your fighting your emotions
Now you have no choice but to let go
And dive into my ocean

. . .



Ready to embrace the day as we both break
When the light stole in it found me wide-awake
Wasted from the sleepless night I wished to touch your hair
Withdraw an empty hand for you're no longer there
In between the silence living is an empty space
Save the ticking of the clock whose hands are sweeping past its face

And I just don't want to be lonely -no no
Night and day
But as I look around me I just feel that way
For you only

I turned my hand to something that would clear my head
But I could not forget the parting words we shared
I opened up my mind to all the pictures I could trace
But I could not recall the contours of your face

And always slipped away before I had the chance to say
If I did something wrong please tell I'd accept the blame

I just don't want to be lonely -Night and day
But as I look around me I just feel that way
For you only

For you're no longer there
For you're no longer there
In between the silence living is an empty space
Save the ticking of the clock whose hands are sweeping past its face

I just don't want to be lonely -Night and day
But as I look around me I just feel that way
For you only

. . .



You've got me so confused and there's words I could use
But I'm afraid to say them
I feel I've been had and I'm boiling mad
Still I cant live without you
You don't have the time and you wont spend a dime
Not even to call me
You don't know I exist and I wouldn't be missed
If I had the nerve to quit you

Invisible -I feel like I'm invisible
You treat me like I'm not really there
And you don't really care
I know this romance - it aint going nowhere
Invisible [just like your love]
You treat me like I'm invisible
When you get the need to flirt
You do the works
You just don't care how much it hurts

I can never reach you on the phone
It rings and rings well I know you're home
It maybe naive but I just wanna believe
I'm the only one
I tell myself lies to give you alibis
Knowing your promises you'll never keep
Like a merry-go-round I'm going up going down
I'm on a dead end street

Invisible [just like your love]
I feel like I'm invisible
You treat me like I'm not really there
And you don't really care
I know this romance it aint going nowhere

Although I know it's not a lot
Don't wanna loose whatever we've got
I keep hanging on knowing I can't win
Cause it's too hard to start over again

Invisible

. . .



Well my friends I feel it's time
To reassess the situation and decide what's mine
Every time you steal me blind
With no consideration for the way I feel inside

And you just look at me like you don't understand
How could we, how could we let it get so out of hand

Don't steal me blind

You my friends would bleed me dry
And with no hesitation you would pass me by
And you keep telling me that you don't understand
What's the use there's no point in building on sand

Don't steal me blind

Well my friends I feel it's time
There's a fortune in friendship

. . .



You took your time to come back this time
The grass has grown under your feet
In your absence I've changed my mind
And someone else is sitting in your seat
I know that I said there be no-one else
I know that I said I'd be true
But baby - I've burned out cupid's arrow
And here's the short and the narrow
I've nothing left to offer you
All cried out
You took a whole lot of loving for a handful of nothing
All cried out
It's hard to give you something when you're pushing and a shoving me around

So don't look surprised there was no disguise
You knew where I stood from the start
So stop - look around you
You're right back where I found you
Take back your cold and empty heart

All cried out
You took a whole lot of loving for a handful of nothing
All cried out
It's hard to give you something when you're pushing and a shoving me around

You go your way
I'll go mine
I wont stay around here
Don't you waste my time

. . .



Into your car park drive obsolete motors
With petrol consumption at too higher price
Sell us through windows at backroom board meetings
Blindfolded and handcuffed and in single file

On your money mile
We are the faceless, the nameless, the homeless
On your money mile
There in your fortress where you couldn't care less
On your money mile
We are the caseless, the raceless, the hopeless
On your money mile
You were caught in the crossfire hauling the flag right down

Send us to battle send us to the frontline
Point us at the enemy
Lest we forget
It's for our protection that we lay here slaughtered
It's for our survival we bury our dead

On your money mile
We are the faceless, the nameless, the homeless
On your money mile
There in your fortress where you couldn't care less
On your money mile
We are the caseless, the raceless, the hopeless
On your money mile
You were caught in the crossfire hauling the flag right down

On your money mile…

. . .



I watch it trickle from your lips
Pearls of ruby red soaking up your head until you want to push through
And then the world turns red
And the wine tastes sour
Pushing back the hand until the midnight hour

Every door is closing behind you
There's no one left to come and find you
You're soaking wet but the file won't dry you
I'd like to help but I cant stand by

And watch you twisting the knife
They've got you wasting your life
Can't stop you twisting the knife

Id rather turn out all the lights than see you like this
Caress me with your anger
Sting me with your kiss
You've been pushing too hard
I've been trying too long
Now I don't believe I have the will to carry on
You take it one step forward
Then it's two steps back
I'd jump the wire but I'm feeling trapped
Its other people make you insecure
I won't surrender like I did before

And watch you twisting the knife
They've got you wasting your life
Can't stop you twisting the knife
Surrender like I did before
Twisting the knife

Sting me with your kiss
You take it one step forward
Then it's two steps back
I'd jump the wire but I'm feeling trapped
Its other people make you insecure
I won't surrender like I did before

And watch you twisting the knife
They've got you wasting your life
Can't stop you twisting the knife

. . .



Where hides sleep is she watching me
Don't desert me now
Where hides sleep you're tormenting me
Don't forsake me now
Take hole of my soul and pull me into darkness
Cover me over and styfle my anguish

Where hides sleep she's avoiding me
Don't evade me now
Where hides sleep please don't torture me
Don't forsake me now

I open my lips to your warm ancient potion
I would be still and devoid of emotion
For I would be slumber that I could be rest
Curl in warm embers of such peacefulness
Caressed by oblivion and swallowed by dreams
I want you to hold me and cover my eyes
From the cold distant daylight
Holds no surprise

. . .



It's that ole devil called love again
Gets behind me and keeps giving me that shove again
Putting rain in my eyes, tears in my dreams
And rocks in my heart
It's that sly old son of a gun again
He keeps telling me I'm the lucky one again
But I still have that rain
Still have those tears
And those rocks on my heart

S'pose I didn't stay
Run away wouldn't play
The devil what a potion he would brew
He'd follow me round
Bill me up
Tear me down
Till I'll be so bewildered
I wouldn't know what to do

Might as well give up that fight again
I know darn well he'll convince me that he's right again
When he sings that sorry song
I've just gotta tag along
With that ole devil called love

He'd follow me round
Bill me up
Tear me down
Till I'll be so bewildered
I wouldn't know what to do

Might as well give up that fight again
I know darn well he'll convince me that he's right again
When he sings that sorry song
I've just gotta tag along
With that ole devil called love

With that ole devil called love
