. . .


Sometimes we find ourselves
Looking for something new
We stand outside ourselves
Not knowing quite what we should do

I am in debt to you
I owe respect to you
But you've got to learn it's gonna turn
Into neglect for you

And though
You caught me naked
I didn't enjoy it
In fact I regret it
Let's make it happen
Why can't you understand
I am a fraction
A part of a broken man?

I hope you understand
It's part of my action plan
To bury you in the sand
The tide's gonna turn

When will you learn
To stop hiding inside yourself?
I bet you wish you were someone else
Tell me, when will you learn?

The day's getting longer
And you're getting common sense
So get right down off that fence
Ain't it time that you turned?

And though
You got me thinking
You could be faking
Your ego's inflated and I'm sick of waiting
Let's make it happen
Why can't you understand
I am a fraction
I am a broken man

Let's make it happen
Why can't you understand
I am a fraction
Part of a broken man?
My soul is in rapture
If only we could both hold on
Let's cause a reaction
Just like you know we should

. . .


I'm here alone all by myself with no one else
I need someone to share these thoughts about myself
I don't know who I can trust
This picture's starting to rust
And as I press upon myself a form of torture
I write these words for someone else just like an author
I don't know who I can trust
I don't know who I can trust

Everybody, won't you come with me?
We'll take a ride across the sea
When we get there if we don't drown
I'll turn your whole world upside down

And later on with each illegal breath I take
I lose resistance for an instant to my fate
How I'll miss you when you're gone, oh, yeah
I'm a number lower than one
I'm on my own I think this stuff is getting stronger
I'm wide awake and I can't take it any longer
How I'll miss you when you are gone
I'm a number lower than one

Everybody, won't you come with me?
Help me find what I can't see
I'm sick of crawling along the ground
Help me turn my world around
Everybody, won't you come with me?
Everybody, come with me
If I don't find what I've come for
You won't see me anymore

Sometimes it's hard just to find some piece of mind
It feels like I am going crazy almost all of the time
And if we can't live this way then what will I do?
Like my father and my mother I'm depending on you
You've got to fight just to keep your piece of mind
You've got to hold on tight, don't cross that line
Sometimes I cry like a baby when I look outside
I'm on a losing streak, driving through Moss Side
Like the river deep or the ocean wide
Like the river deep or the ocean wide
Like the river deep or the ocean wide
There's a crack in the wall, but I just can't hide

. . .


My imagination wants to see
The vivid colours of reality
There's a place out there beyond my grasp
A revolution in a looking glass
I've got to get this problem off my chest
I'm sick and tired of being second best
I'll rearrange my credibility
A fundraiser for a restless sea

Don't ever doubt me
What's come over you?
Won't you forgive me?
What are you gonna do?
Don't ever doubt me
What's come over you?
Won't you forgive me?
What are you gonna do?
What will you do?

I can't contain what's inside my head
I'm using words that I must have read
Do you remember the time we spent?
It seems that we were the main event
Have you a reason to behave like this?
Maybe you need a psychoanalyst
If you keep pushing me out of the door, for sure
You'll never see me again

No one to talk to
What am I gonna do?
You're never there
Right when I need you
Give me a cause
Give me a reason
For your applause
I'll commit treason

And in my mind
I know I'm right
It's the same thing every night
You're not to blame
So don't you cry
You don't need me
So hurt my pride
And all the time
I know we tried
Line by line
And side by side
And still I pray
That we'll get by
But it don't seem real
And I don't know why

And in my mind
I know I'm right
It's the same thing
Every night
You're not to blame
So don't you cry
You don't need me
So hurt my pride
And in my mind
I know I'm right
It's the same thing
Every night
Why do you cry?
You're not to blame
When will you change
This sad refrain?

This sad refrain
Oh, when will you change
This sad refrain?
When will you change
This sad refrain?

. . .


(Breakdown)
(Breakdown)
(Breakdown)
(Breakdown)

I'm gonna leave you, baby
So far behind
'Cause you're upset and twisted
Are you out of your mind?
And you know I don't love you
And we're wasting our time
Come on, give me a reason
Help me make up my mind

There are cold days in this winter
But it's not by my design
I'm a victim of your misfortune
In a terminal decline

CHORUS
Breakdown (breakdown)
Breakdown (breakdown)
Breakdown (breakdown)
Breakdown (breakdown)
Breakdown (breakdown)
Breakdown (breakdown)
Breakdown (breakdown)
Breakdown (breakdown)

I'm gonna leave you, baby
So far behind
'Cause you're fucked up and twisted
And you're out of your mind
And you know I don't love you
And we're wasting our time
Come on, give me a reason
Help me make up my mind

I don't know what lies in the future
I don't know how long it will last
You could lose yourself in the task
My heart is on fire
But its burning low
I can't get much higher
There's no where to go

CHORUS

CHORUS

. . .


Come down from your throne
Leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting
For so long
Somebody holds the key

CHORUS
Well, I'm near the end
And I just ain't got no time
And I'm wasted and I
Can't find my way home

Come down on your own
And leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason
That I've been waiting so long
Somebody holds the key

CHORUS

(Home, home)
Can't find my way home
(Home, home)
Can't find my way home
Can't find my way home

CHORUS

Can't find my way home
Can't find my way home
Can't find my way home
Can't find my way home

. . .


You
Must think that I'm a fool
This twisted tenderness
Just leaves me cool
You've got me in a mess
You know it's true
Out in the wilderness
Here without you

Right outside
It's a cruel world
Something happening, it's distracting
You're just bad news, girl

Never let that feeling die
All you've got to do
Is tell a little lie (tell a little lie, tell a little lie)
Don't you know it's true?
I will never let you down
Spread this message all around
That I hope and that I pray
You can turn my life around

Take
A look out there
We're under house arrest
And you don't care
We could always be friends
But you were careless right
'Til the end

I feel guilty
Oh, it's such a shame
It's frustrating, it's a sad thing
And there's no one else to blame

Never let that feeling die
All you've got to do
Is tell a little lie (tell a little lie, tell a little lie)
Don't you know it's true
I won't ever let you down
Spread this message all around
That I hope and that I pray
You won't take my love to town

Tell a little lie, tell a little lie
That's all you have to do
Is tell a little lie (tell a little lie, tell a little lie)
Don't you know it's true?

Right outside
It's a cruel world
Something's happening, it's distracting
You're just bad news girl

Never let that feeling die
All you've got to do
Is tell a little lie (tell a little lie, tell a little lie)
Don't you know it's true?
I won't ever let you down
Spread this message all around
That I hope and that I pray
You won't take my love to town

Tell a little lie, tell a little lie
That's all you have to do
Is tell a little lie (tell a little lie, tell a little lie)
Don't you know it's true?
Don't you know it's true (don't you know it's true?)
Don't you know it's true (don't you know it's true?)
Don't you know it's true (don't you know it's true?)
Don't you know it's true (don't you know it's true?)
Don't you know it's true?
Don't you know it's true?
Don't you know it's true?
Don't you know it's true?

. . .


An ordinary man
Was not much in demand
He lives a quiet life
His wife don't understand
But underneath it all
This is suburban Hell
He's up against the wall
You know, he's obviously unwell

She didn't like the things he did
He said that he couldn't live without her
He made her cry just like a kid
I think this prayer needs a transfer

It's a fragile situation
Will he lose his head?
Or make a change in his location
And just go back to bed

CHORUS
I'll catch you when you fall
And if you stumble, call
This driving rain has got to end
Just call me when you need a friend
Your life is down and out
The flame is burning out
And when you're down, it makes me suffer
You're a girl just like no other

Sometimes he feels so small
He turns to alcohol
She doesn't like the taste
But then it's better than his face
This connection will not mend
How I pray that you'll be happy
But you're in a downward trend
Leave this place and make it snappy

Just undo this combination
You know it is up to you
It's time you saved your reputation
I think it's overdue

People throwing lives around
Don't you think it's sad?
While half the world is getting on
The other's getting mad
Oh, people taking lives away
Don't you think it's sad?
While the world is having fun
The other half is bad

CHORUS

Na-da-da-da
Na-da-da-da

Da-da-da

. . .


I don't plan or conspire
I don't want to get no higher
It's your lack of ambition
Well, they tell me that's what it's missing
All the guns out on the western front
Are quiet now
Well, it's nice to hear the world
Breath a sigh

CHORUS
It's like the colour of your skin
You know, it doesn't mean a thing
Nor do the clothes that we're wrapped in
It doesn't matter if you're thin
And though I lay awake at night
I know your arms will hold me tight
And I thank God we got it right
Here in this city late at night

We are each like no other
We are unique to our mother
We are foals in the stable
But we leave home when we're able
But we all need someone
Like the Earth needs the Sun
And our fate will be found
In this life in the ground

Don't you get it wrong

CHORUS

CHORUS

. . .


You may be a star in your own mind
But you're greatly deluded in my mine
I heard reports that you drink
And you take drugs most of the time
And that your life is in danger
And that you were involved in a crime

Is it over?
Is it over?
Will you come home now?
Is it over?
Is it over?
Don't you let me down

You're the architect of your own excess
Join the queue at the start of the line
In a wilderness with an empty sky
The clouds are gone and the dessert is dry

The prodigal son is returning
He shouldn't be walking the streets
They tell me that children are starving
He's got everything that he needs

Is it over?
Is it over?
Will you come home now?
Is it over?
Is it over?
Is it over now?

Won't you come home now?
Won't you come home now?
Won't you come home now?
Won't you come, won't you come home?
Won't you come home now?
Won't you come home now?
Won't you come home now?
Won't you come, won't you come home?

. . .


I'm shaking like a leaf on a tree
Do you understand, will you come with me?
Don't make a sound, don't even breathe
They'll understand, why don't we leave?

We can steal a ride on a bus
Drive down a road all covered in dust
Head north by northwest 'til we reach the coast
We'll find an address that don't get the post

CHORUS 1
When she's gone
Even though she won't be long
It just tears my world apart
Puts a hole right through my heart

She let me see her new tattoo
It was my name written in blue
A mark of pain across her chest
I was the lover on her breast

So come with me and don't be afraid
We could be free out of the shade
Your life has begun, come on lets run
Over the ground in an air raid
We've got the gun, don't be afraid

CHORUS 1

CHORUS 2
Only when this girl has gone
Will I know if I am wrong
Who would choose a life of one?
I can't carry on when she's gone

CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2
CHORUS 1

Only when this girl has gone

. . .


Every time I watch TV
On the news is something major
I'm a prisoner, set me free
Turn this atoll into vapor
Genocide put on the side
It's always new
Politicians want to share their
Point of view

United nations are demanding
Foreign troops have made a landing
City dealers at an auction
Shares are falling fast
Suicide is not an option
Waiting for the crash

CHORUS
I walk this wild road
Can you tell me will I reach the end?
This endless night goes on
But I still can't find my way home

Misguided youth are mixing juice
With alcohol
Desert states are praying for the
Rains to fall peace

In Ireland is an issue
Goodbye, bombs, we're gonna miss you
The southern ice has almost gone
The silly fools just carry on

CHORUS

I walk this wild road
Can you tell me will I reach the end?
This endless night goes on
But I still carry on

This world's out of reach
But I don't want it
The people are creeps
That live here on it
It's always the same
It's not gonna change
When we go to school
With Sadam Hussein
I'd cry all night if I could change it
Ask Jesus Christ could he arrange?
It Is there anyone out there who cares
If a child can run free?
Can a girl walk the street?
Will united get beat?

. . .


Please, let me in cause my house is falling down
There's trouble all over the town
Let me begin and I'll tell you a story how
Dracula hunted me down

Show me that you care
And of my presence you are aware
We don't need to shout
Or make a fuss, we are devout

CHORUS
Well, I'd like to make a call to my kid a (hoo, hoo)
And I'd show him all the things that I did (hoo, hoo)
Well, I'd show him all the things that I did
Show him all the things that I did

Some people always come late
Others arrive in a dreadful state
I didn't get there at all
The gun's in the holster and it's too small

Who's that outside my door?
The house is falling in, it's world war again
Who's that outside my door?
Who's that outside my door?

CHORUS

Well, I'd like to make a call to my kid a (hoo, hoo)
(Hoo, hoo)
(Hoo, hoo)

(Hoo, hoo)
(Hoo, hoo)
(Hoo, hoo)
(Hoo, hoo)

. . .


Fate just took a wrong turn,
It would appear that we don't agree,
And without warning sign I stopped just in time,
When you ran straight in front of me.

Well I don't listen to the rumours,
And I don't care who you have for tea,
I think you'll find that the thief commits the crime,
At the end of the book you'll see.

You tore me right down,
You've got a hold on me,
I can't believe it's true,
But I believe in me.

It's been so long,
It's been so long.

Don't ever talk to strangers,
You never know what they're gonna say,
And it may be a surprise right in front of your eyes,
They get up, and they walk away.

So the next time you see me listen,
Cos I've got something I want to say,
You've got the wrong attitude and you act like a fool,
And you will pass by within a day.

You tore me right down,
You've got a hold on me,
I can't believe it's true,
But I believe in me.

You tore me right down,
You've got a hold on me,
I can't believe it's true,
It's just the end of time.

You tore me right down,
You've got a hold on me,
I can't believe it's true,
But I believe in me.

You tore me right down,
You've got a hold on me,
I can't believe it's true,
But I believe in me.

It's been so long,
It's been so long.

It's been so long,
It's been so long.

It's been so long.
