Sebastian Album

I can run like a river, I can fly like the wind
I can do anything... I can do anything...
I can move any mountain.
Take these stars and make them sing
I can do anything... I can do anything...

I believe I can win the world
But what I feel don’t apply to her

She is indifferent to me
I can have everything and all
But what good would that be
If nothing makes her fall, fall

I can build me a castle
from a single grain of sand
Baby you know I can, baby you know I can…
I can have fame and fortune,
all the joy it can bring
But that wouldn’t change a thing,
just want her to take me in

She said I’ll get nowhere
With her, she don’t care…

She is indifferent to me
I can have everything and all
But what good would that be
If nothing makes her fall

She is indifferent to me
She ain’t listening to me
So high above me
And nothing makes her fall, fall…

She is indifferent to me
She ain’t listening to me
She is indifferent to me
She ain’t listening to me

Tonight I feel so weak, but all in love is fair
I turn the other cheek
And I feel the slap and the sting
Of the foul night air
And I know you’re only human
When I haven’t got talking room
But tonight while I’m making excuses
Some other man is making love to you

Somebody bring me some water,
can’t you see I’m burning alive
Can’t you see my baby’s got another lover
And I don’t know how I’m gonna survive
Somebody bring me some water,
can’t you see it’s out of control
Baby’s got my heart,
and my baby’s got my mind
But tonight the sweet devil,
Sweet Devil’s got my soul

When will this aching pass,
when will this night be through
I want to hear the breaking glass
I only feel the steel of the red hot truth
And I’d do anything to get it out of my mind
I need some insanity of that temporary kind
Tell me how will I ever be the same
When I know that man
is whispering your name

Somebody bring me some water,
can’t you see I’m burning alive
Can’t you see my baby’s got another lover
And I don’t know how I’m gonna survive
Somebody bring me some water,
can’t you see it’s out of control
Baby’s got my heart,
and my baby’s got my mind
But tonight the sweet devil,
Sweet Devil’s got my soul

Oh, the Devil’s got my soul

Somebody bring me some water,
can’t you see I’m burning alive
Can’t you see my baby’s got another lover
And I don’t know how I’m gonna survive
Somebody bring me some water,
can’t you see it’s out of control
Baby’s got my heart,
and my baby’s got my mind
But tonight the sweet devil,
Sweet Devil’s got my soul

Somebody bring me some water,
can’t you see I’m burning alive
Can’t you see my baby’s got another lover
And I don’t know how I’m gonna survive

You’ve
Got a mind of your own
Yeah, you proved
You can slam down a phone
And your rules
They change with the weather
It’s not getting better

Venus and Mars
Constantly misunderstanding
Constantly making demands that
I can’t meet
You halfway
Just gotta say

Someone’s gonna give…
and it ain’t gonna be me
From now on you’ve gotta…

Do what you’re told
Follow directions, obey the law
I let you win but you go too far
I know the deal, baby you’re a star
But you’re outta control,
you never do what you’re told
Read the instructions, stay on the road
Think from above, not down below
I’m the man, gimme control
Baby baby please, just do what you’re told

You’ve
Been wearing the pants
It was cool
But I’m taking them back
Yeah, I’m through
With these knock-down
drag-out conversations

We’re Venus and Mars
Standing on opposite planets
Sexes panic
You get in the car, take my keys,
And then you proceed to drive me…
Crazy

Do what you’re told
Follow directions, obey the law
I let you win but you go too far
I know the deal, baby you’re a star
But you’re outta control,
you never do what you’re told
Read the instructions, stay on the road
Think from above, not down below
I’m the man, gimme control
Baby baby please, just do what you’re told

So whatever moods come and go baby
Not taking whatever you throw my way,
no way…

Do what you’re told
Follow directions, obey the law
I let you win but you go too far
I know the deal, baby you’re a star
But you’re outta control,
you never do what you’re told
Read the instructions, stay on the road
Think from above, not down below
I’m the man, gimme control
Baby baby please, just do what you’re told
Baby you’re a star
But you’re, you’re, you’re outta control
Oh baby please, baby please
Do what you’re told

It's a God awful small affair
To the girl with the mousey hair
But her mummy is yelling, "No!"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is no where to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seats with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is sadd'ning bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on

Sailors
Fighting in the dance hall
Oh man!
Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man!
Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a sadd'ning bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on

Sailors
Fighting in the dance hall
Oh man!
Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man!
Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

Friday night, something’s not right
My behaviour’s changed,
the darkness is drowned in light

Was it my broken promises
that made you fight?

Or did the life inside your head
just get too tight?

I’m a persistent son of a… yeah I know
Oh, oh, oh, so and so

You will save me tonight
You’re in the hands of a lover
Stuck between what I know
And all the beautiful things we’ll discover
A secret passage, a hidden staircase
My love for the birthmarks in your face

For the birthmarks in your face
No proof to prove it,
no witness you can trust
A heart of fire, your soul filled with lust

I’m a persistent son of a… yeah I know
Oh, oh, oh, so and so

You will save me tonight
You’re in the hands of a lover
Stuck between what I know
And all the beautiful things we’ll discover
A secret passage, a hidden staircase
My love for the birthmarks in your face

For the birthmarks in your face
For the birthmarks in your face

Tell them that the house is not for sale
We’re still livin’ here
how come nobody can tell?
They’re taking all the furniture,
movin’ our things
Come on little honey
put your head on my knee
Tell them that the house is not for sale

And calm down, calm down, calm down,
calm down, calm down, calm down

Do you remember
when we even bought this thing?
I danced across the wooden floor
and you sign the lease
What ever happen’ in the car that night?
What happen’ in the car that night?
Tell them that the house is not for sale

Calm down, calm down, calm down,
calm down, calm down, calm down,
calm down!

Tell them that the house is not for sale…
We could grab a couple of sheets yeah,
Give them quite a scare…
I remember lyin’ on the bedroom floor,
You were holding me honey,
kissing my soul
tell them that the house is not for sale

And calm down, calm down, calm down,
calm down, calm down, calm down
calm down! Calm down!

Here it comes like a silent wave
Here it comes to kiss the pain away
Into my room and over my bed
Into my veins and spinning around my head
Am I dreaming?

Stay real
Stay real
Stay real, stay true,
Stay gold, stay you

Let me dance in the pale moonlight
Let me drown in your ocean coloured eyes
Here’s to your smile and the joy you bring
Here’s to your hair and
your olive coloured skin
Don’t go changing

Stay real
Stay real
Stay real, stay true
Stay gold, stay you
Stay real
Stay real
Stay young, stay free
Stay real to me

Don’t stop dreaming

Here it comes like a long lost friend
Here it comes taking me over again
Don’t stop dreaming

Stay real
Stay real
Stay real, stay true
Stay gold, stay you
Stay real
Stay real
Stay young, stay free
Stay real to me

If you start me up
If you start me up I’ll never stop
If you start me up
If you start me up I’ll never stop
I’ve been running hot
You got me ticking gonna blow my top
If you start me up
If you start me up I’ll never stop

You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
Spread out the oil, the gasoline
I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine

If you start me up
Kick on the starter give it all you got, you got.
I can’t compete with the riders in the other heats
If you rough it up
If you like it you can slide it up, slide it up

You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
Don’t make a grown man cry
My eyes dilate, my lips go green
My hands are greasy
She’s a mean, mean machine.

Start me up
Start me up
Start me up

You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
Ride like the wind at double speed
I’ll take you places that you’ve never, never seen
Start it up

You, you, you make a grown man cry
You, you, you make a dead man come
You, you, you make a dead man come

You are his – I am hers
We’re fighting a temptation –
that’s only getting worse
Are we blessed – Are we cursed
It’s one of those situations –
where everybody hurts

OHH – No matter how we try
we can’t let go

We’re only human –
We’re only flesh & blood
We’re human – that’s all we ever was

I’m trying to figure right from wrong so
Please don’t touch me
Girl you know we’re not that strong
We’re only human

We walked around – safe & sound
Came across each other
– and life came crashing down

And now here we are – We’ve gone too far
(we) oughta leave but it’s so hard
We’re caught between these hearts

OHH – No matter how we try
We can’t let go

We’re only human –
We’re only flesh & blood
We’re human – that’s all we ever was

I’m trying to figure right from wrong so
Please don’t touch me
Girl you know we’re not that strong
We’re only human

Maybe it’s a road we have to take
Maybe it’s a bond we have to break
Maybe this is fate
A mistake we have to make

We’re only human –
We’re only flesh & blood
We’re human – that’s all we ever was

I’m trying to figure right from wrong so
Please don’t touch me
Girl you know I’m not that strong
We’re only human
We’re only human
We’re only human
Human

I get up on my feet and run
It’s the usual beginning
Of a workday neverending
I would like to get my washing done

But there’s always something urgent
And I ain’t got no detergent
At the end of the week I’ll get my pay
But it takes a million to make my day

Honey’s got a diamond
‘s got it in her eye

Honey’s got a diamond
‘s got it in her eye
Honey’s got a diamond
‘s got me runnin, high

I get into my car and drive
Got a rusty little sedan
With a dent and broken heating
Watching others as they pass me by
They will move from rags to riches
With a company that matches
And I know I’ll always be in the rear
They can buy me out but I have no fear

Honey’s got a diamond
‘s got it in her eye

Honey’s got a diamond
‘s got it in her eye
Honey’s got a diamond
‘s got me runnin, high

It’s a way to get by
It keeps a man alive
It’s a way to get high
I get into my bed and sleep
With the world upon my shoulders
And a TV dinner older
Well at least I won’t be counting sheep
And as long as I can wake up
And look into her eyes
Yeah, I’ve got all I need

Honey’s got a diamond
‘s got it in her eye

Honey’s got a diamond
‘s got it in her eye
Honey’s got a diamond
‘s got me runnin, high

It’s a way to get by
