What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?
What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?
Too good
You could
Be so misunderstood
Snow pure
Demure
Don't feel so insecure
Heaven would be lonely without you
You satisfy the need in me
No-one makes me feel the way you do

What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?
What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?
Maligned
You'll find
A strength to ease your mind
Trust fate
Relate
This trial you'll tolerate
Summer would be bitter without you
You satisfy the need in me
Sunshine couldn't warm me like you do
Devotion's what you read in read

All I ever wanted
Was to be with you just to be with you
All I ever wanted
Just to be with you to be free with you
Review
Brand new
You know you'll see it through
From now
I wow
They'll take what you allow
Paradise so dreary without you
I couldn't last a day without you
Nothing else could take the place of you
You know I wouldn't stay without you

All I ever wanted
Was to be with you just to be with you
All I ever wanted
Just to be with you to be free with you
Yeah be with you
All I ever wanted
Come on be with you
To be free with you
Totally with you
Hey be with you

All I ever wanted
I believe in you
I believe in you
Hey hey yeah

What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?
What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?
What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?
What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?

All I ever wanted
Just to be with you
Just to be with you

All I ever wanted
Want to be with you
Got to be with you

All I ever wanted
Was to be with you
Just to be with you

All I ever wanted
Just to be with you
To be free with you
Yeah be with you

All I ever wanted
Come on be with you
Be with you
All that I want to do
Hey be with you

All I ever wanted
Come on be with you
Everything that I do
Yes I do it for you
Yeah be with you

All I ever wanted
Come on be with you

Nervous

[No lyrics]

You know you're making me nervous
I don't know if the world deserves us
You're doing things I wouldn't mention
You have a hunger for attention
You know you're making me frantic
Is this supposed to be romantic?
You're like the woman out of Species
I think I'm gonna go to pieces

You never do right
For doing wrong
You'd better get back where you belong
You never do right
You're doing wrong
Then running to me

Love me well or love me badly
Do you have to love me madly?
Saty for life or leave me sadly
Do you have to?

Youre really making me anxious
You know that everybody blanks us
You're like a cocktail set Atilla
A kind of holycon geurilla
You know I'm heading for a crackup
You're getting everybody's back up
I'm getting ready for a freakout
What makes you think you're right to speakout?

You never back down you'd rather fight
You're ready for combat day or night
You never back down
You start the fight
The run behind me

Love me well or love me badly
Do you have to love me madly?
Stay for life or leave me sadly
Please don't always love me madly

Love me well or love me badly
Do you have to love me madly?
Be my friend reject me gladly
Do you have to?

I feel I'm getting rather tense
At the turn of these events
I want to run away and hide
But you keep dragging me inside
I'm tethered to a trainee hellcat
I'm feeling jealous of the doormat
I'm nearly fainting with the tension
One day we'll end up in detention

You never do right
Tou're doing wrong
You'd better get back where you belong
You never do right
You're always wrong
Then running to me

Love me well or love be badly

Love me well or love me badly
Do you have to love me madly?
Stay for life or leave me sadly
Please don't always love me madly

Love me well or love me badly
Do you have to love me madly?
Be my friend reject me gladly
Only don't you love me madly

Love...me madly


. . .


I never thought I'd have the nerve / To break from the conventional / I never
thought my path would curve / And lead to sin intentional / The heavan that you
take me to / Is really just a darker place / I knew that if I fell for you / I
really had to fall from grace / From the moment that you held me / I'd
forgotten wrong and right / From the second that you touched me / Was a
creature of the night / Made a folly out of caution / Made all virtue seem
bizarre / Through a mirror of distortion / Watching coldy from afar / Oh,
shameless, oh / Oh, shameless, oh / And how could such a fate befall / A person
of such principles / From never doing wrong at all / To scandal inconceivable /
I'm pounding at the gates of hell / Impatient for the journey in / I'll face
the fury at your side / So let the tragedy begin / From the moment that you
held me / I'd forgotten wrong and right / From the second that you touched me /
Was a creature of the night / Made a folly out of caution / Made all virtue
seem bizarre / Through a mirror of distortion / Watching coldy from afar / Oh,
shameless, oh / For the touch of your hand / Oh, shameless, oh / Let them
misunderstand / Just the touch of your hand / Oh, shameless, oh / And they
misunderstan

Baby, baby, don't you hurt me
Don't you say you've got to go
Don't you threaten to desert me
Is it something I should know
First you tell me it's the real thing
Then you say you just don't know

Never give your heart to a runaway
(No, no, no)
Never tell yourself that you'll make them stay
Put away your heart for another day
(No, no, no)
Never give your heart to a runaway

All the heartache that we've been through
That means nothing to you now
You can't come up with a reason
Can't explain it anyhow
Only leave me with a meaning
I'm not asking for your vow

So nice
(So nice)
So fine
(So fine)
One day gonna make you mine
Some day
(Some day)
Could be
You'll know what you mean to me

Never give your heart to a runaway
(No, no, no)
There's nothing you can do that will make them stay
Stop them moving on, on another day
(No, no, no)
Never give your heart to a runaway

Save a little love
Save a little love
Save a little love
(For a rainy day)
Save a little love

So nice
(So nice)
So fine
(So fine)
One day maybe make you mine
(Maybe make you mine)
Someday
(Someday)
We'll see
(We'll see)
You'll know what you mean to me

Never give your heart to a runaway
(To a runaway)
Passing like a kiss on a holiday
(On a holiday)
Save a little love for another day
(For a rainy day)
Never give your heart to a runaway
(Never to a runaway)

Never give your heart to a runaway
(To a runaway)
There's nothing you can do that will make them stay
(You can't make them stay)
Stop them moving on, on another day
(On another day)
Never give your heart to a runaway
(Never, never, never give your heart away)

Never give your heart to a runaway
(To a runaway)
Never tell yourself that you'll make them stay
(You can never make them stay)
Put away your heart for another day
(For a rainy day)
Never give your heart to a runaway
(Never, never, never).

Join us
Come and join us
Join us
Come and join us

There is a path that's crystal clear
It guides the wise away from here
In summer's hazy atmosphere
Or wintertime
The more the merrier they say
The moors stretch out along the way
By glow of night, by light of day
Just read the signs

'Til we can see the smoke rise in the distance
Reminding us of home not far behind
Careering through the paths of least resistance
We're going on a journey of the mind

From the town to the country
From the country to the town
Come and join us
Come and join us
From the valley to the hillside
From the upside to the down
Join us
Come and join us

A rush along a zigzag road
Surprised then damned by mouth of toad
A shop where you cannot reload
The way to Hyde
The sixty-two or six-two-eight
Will do if you cannot be late
Sometimes the only choice to make
In wintertime

We gaze upon the face of the Apollo
We know that we approach our journey's end
And still we will be home before tomorrow
But we will rise before we must descend

From the town to the country
From the country to the town
Come and join us
Come and join us
From the valley to the hillside
From the upside to the down
Join us
Come and join us
From the town to the country
From the country to the town
Come and join us
Come and join us
From the valley to the hillside
From the upside to the down
Join us
Come and join us

(We hear the bells
We hear the bells
We hear the bells
We hear the bells
We hear the bells
We hear the bells
They're ringing low
We hear the bells)
Join us
(We hear the bells
We hear the bells
We hear the bells)
Come and join us
(We hear the bells
(We hear the bells
We hear the bells
They're ringing low
We hear the bells)
Join us
(We hear the bells)
Come and join us
(We hear the bells
We hear the bells)
Come and join us
(We hear the bells
We hear the bells
We hear the bells
They're ringing low)

From the town to the country
From the country to the town
Come and join us
Come and join us
From the valley to the hillside
From the upside to the down
Join us
Come and join us
From the town to the country
From the country to the town
Come and join us
Come and join us
From the valley to the hillside
From the upside to the down
Join us
Come and join us.

We hear the bells

We hear the bells
We hear the bells

We hear the bells
We hear the bells
We hear the bells
We hear the bells
We hear the bells)

We hear the bells
We hear the bells
We hear the bells
We hear the bells
We hear the bells
We hear the bells
We hear the bells
We hear the bells
We hear the bells

I can't help this feeling
Every time you go away
Something you're concealing
Something you won't say
Will you look in my eyes
When I ask you where you've been
Say what you've been doing
Tell me who you've seen

Tell another tale
Name another name
Dish a little dirt
To evade the frame
Change the tale you tell
From the one you swore
Claim you never said
What you said before

Liar
Liar
Liar
Liar

Think you are the winner
No one else is in the game
You can keep the prizes
You can keep the shame

Tell another tale
Get a friend's support
Add the fine detail
As an afterthought
Never any doubt
Never any shame
Under no account
Ever take the blame

Liar
Liar
How can I stay
When your words give you away
Liar
Liar
How can I stay
How can I stay

(Why should I stay
Why should I stay
Why should I stay
Why should I stay)

Liar
(Pathological)
Liar
How can I stay
When your lies give you away
Liar
(You're a liar)
Liar
(Such a liar)
How can I stay
Is there one born every day

Liar
(You're a liar)
Liar
(Such a liar)
How can I stay
When your words drive me away
Liar
(Such a liar).

Lament

[No lyrics]

. . .


Outside the last remaining shadows of the day
Too vague to make out
De Chirico has packed his case and left
Abandoning his stakeout
Inside the music and the lights unite
To overpower the fading day
In here with you beside me, warm and dry and safe
My mind begins to stray

(I see reflections of what was and what could be
In dark and light they dance around me
Ambition, memories, fears, hope and fantasies)

Crucial words never said
All the good that you spread
Each a fragment of meaning to me

Who else amongst the dancing crowd
Can share the sense that we are falling
Above the sound who else can hear and see
The fates as they are calling
That vision is a blessing, is an error
Time can only sweep away
Insight is there to guide us
We ignore its message in our own display

(I see reflections of the people we could be
A million faces now surround me
Beloved, abandoned, fortunate, or refugee)

There were tears in the night
Summer days without end
Each a fragment of meaning to me
From the birth of a child
To the loss of a friend
Each a fragment of meaning to me

(Demons of the mind
Demons of the mind
Demons of the mind
Demons of the mind
Demons of the mind
Demons of the mind)

(I see reflections of what was and what could be
In dark and light they dance around me
Ambition, memories, fears, hope, and fantasies)

Crucial words never said
All the good that you spread
Each a fragment of meaning to me
All the tears that you weep
All the love that you keep
Just a piece of the meaning to me

Crucial words never said
All the love that you spread
Each a fragment of meaning to me
The confusion and pain
The contentment again
Just a piece of the meaning to me.

Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city

Where did it go wrong
What happened here
In a town without pity
Paralyzed by our fear
Confidence at a standstill
Daylight only a smear
Tension that you could handle
Chokes the thick atmosphere

No more slogans to shout
No more visions to sell
Just a ghost from the past
Of the urge to rebel
Like an etching of death
Knocking at the front door
Will the forces of peace
Overcome even more

Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city

Did we fail in a past life
Do we have to be hurt
By contempt for the humdrum
Hungry still to subvert
Do we seek the horizon
Struggle on to be heard
Standing up to be counted
With our principles blurred

Just too jaded to beg
Passion left in the past
Is it time to move on
To surrender at last
Must we really fight on
When we don't give a damn
Is it time for release
For an end to this sham

Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city

Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city
Sin city.

(Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah)

You'll be sorry in the morning
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
If you leave me in the evening today

You know you ought to get to know me better
You know I couldn't be as bad as people say
It's too late to be introduced by letter
But I'll write you one if that will make you stay

You'll be sorry in the morning
If you leave me in the evening today
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Someone's given you a warning
I'm just telling you that you ought to stay
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)

Give me 'til the morning
I will make you feel good
Or you can just walk away
Babe, I wouldn't hurt you
I won't tell you falsehoods
This is all I have to say

It really isn't late
Do we have to separate
It surely isn't time to go away
Is there something you must do
Can I come and do it too
There's really lots of time left in the day

Take the chance and get to know me better
It would be crazy just to turn and walk away
Conversation does not make you an abetter
Just to talk awhile would surely be okay

You'll be sorry in the morning
If you chose to spend the night on your own
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
I extend this invitation
So that you don't have to spend it alone
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)

Just until the morning
Baby, I'll be real good
You don't want to walk away
I'm not such a monster
Only misunderstood
Listen to the truth I've got to say

You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
(Who'll be sorry)
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
(You'll be sorry)
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
(Who'll be sorry)
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
(Who'll be sorry)

You'll be sorry in the morning
If you leave me in the evening today
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Someone's given you a warning
I'm just telling you that you ought to stay
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
You'll be sorry in the morning
If you chose to spend the night on your own
(Yeah, yeah, you'll be sorry)
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
I extend this invitation
So that you don't have to spend it alone
(You'll be sorry)
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
You'll be sorry in the morning
If you leave me in the evening today
(You'll be sorry)
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
(You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry)

You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
(Yeah, yeah)
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
(Yeah, yeah)
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
(You'll be sorry)
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
(Yeah, yeah)
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
(Yeah, yeah)
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
(You'll be sorry)
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry.
