You can reach but you can't
grab it
You can't hold it control
it you can't bag it
You can push but you can't
direct it
Circulate regulate oh no
you cannot connect it
You know you're chewing bubblegum
You know what that is but
you still want some
You just can't get enough
of that lovie dovie stuff
You get confused but you
know it
Yeah you hurt for it work
for it LOVE
You don't always show it
LET GO LET'S GO... DISCOTHEQUE
GO GO... LET GO... DISCOTHEQUE
Looking for the one
But you know you're somewhere
else instead
You want to be the song
The song that you hear in
your head
LOVE
It's not a trick... you can't
learn it
It's the way you don't pay
that's okay 'cause you can't earn it
You know you're chewing bubblegum
You know what that is but
you still want some
You just can't get enough
of that lovie dovie stuff
LET GO LET'S GO... DISCOTHEQUE
GO GO LET GO... DISCOTHEQUE
Looking for the one
But you know you're somewhere
else instead
I want to be the song the
song that you hear in your head
LOVE
But you take what you can
get
'Cause it's all that you
can find
Oh you know there's something
more
But tonight, tonight, tonight
BOOM CHA
BOOM CHA
DISCOTHEQUE
Take these hands they're
good for nothing
You know these hands have
never worked a day
Take these boots they're
going nowhere
You know these boots they
don't want to stray
You got my head filled with
songs
You got my shoelaces undone
Take my shirt go on take
it off me
You can tear it up
If you can tie me down
DO YOU FEEL LOVED? DO YOU FEEL LOVED?
TAKE THE colours of my imagination
TAKE THE scent hanging in
the air
Take this tangle of a conversation
And turn it into your own
prayer
With my fingers as you want
them
With my nails under your
hide
With my teeth at your back
And my tongue to tell you
the sweetest lies
DO YOU FEEL LOVED? DO YOU
FEEL LOVED?
AND IT LOOKS like the SUN
BUT IT FEELS LIKE RAIN
Love's a bully pushing and
shoving
In the belly of a woman
Heavy rythm taking over
To stick together
A man and a woman
Stick together
Man and woman
Stick together...
DO YOU FEEL LOVED?
DO YOU FEEL LOVED?
AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE SUN
BUT IT FEELS LIKE RAIN
and THERE'S HEAT IN THE
SUN TO SEE US THROUGH THE RAIN
Lookin' for to save my save
my soul
Lookin' in the places where
no flowers grow
Lookin' for to fill that
GOD shaped hole
Mother mother sucking rock and roll
(Been around the back... been around the front)
Holy dunc spacejunk comin'
in for the splash
White dopes on punk staring
into the flash
Lookin' for baby Jesus under
the trash
Mother mother suckin' rock
and roll
Mother ... rock and roll
Mother am I still your son,
you know I've waited for so long to hear you say so
Mother you left and made
me someone
Now I'm still a child but
no one tells me no
Lookin' for a sound that's
gonna drown out the world
Lookin' for the father of
my two little girls
Got the swing got the sway
got my straw in lemonade
Still looking for the face
I had before the world was made
Mother mother sucking rock
and roll
Bubble poppin' sugar droppin'
rock and roll
Woo me sister
Move me brother
Soothe me mother
Rule me father
Show me mother
Nobody else here baby no
one else here to blame
No one to point the finger...
it's just you and me and the rain
Nobody made you do it. no
one put words in your mouth
Nobody here taking orders
when love took a train heading south
It's the blind leadiing
the blond
It's the stuff the stuff
of country songs
HEy IF GOD WILL SEND HHIS
ANGELS
AND IF GOD WILL SEND A SIGN
AND IF GOD WILL SEND HIS
ANGELS
Would everything be alright?
God has got his phone off
the hook babe would he even pick up if he could?
It's been awhile since we
saw that child hangin' 'round this neighbourhood
See His mother dealing in
a doorway see Father Christmas with a begging bowl
Jesus sister's eyes are
a blister... THE HIGH STREET never looked so low
It's the blind leading the
blond...
It's the cops collecting
for the cons
So where is the hope and
where is the faith... and the love?
What's that you say to me
Does love... light up your
Christmas tree?
The next minute you're blowing
a fuse
And the cartoon network
turns into the news
HEy IF GOD WILL SEND HIS
ANGELS
AND IF GOD WILL SEND A SIGN
WELL IF GOD WILL SEND HIS
ANGELS
WHERE DO WE GO
Jesus never let me down you
know Jesus used to show me the score
Then they put Jesus in show
business now it's hard to get in the door
It's the stuff it's the stuff
of country songs
But I guess it was something
to go on
HEy IF GOD WILL SEND HIS
ANGELS
I SURE COULD USE THEM HERE
RIGHT NOW
WELL IF GOD WILL SEND HIS
ANGELS
WHERE DO WE GO...
Summer stretching on the
grass... summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow
tree creeps a crawling over me
Over me and over you stuck
together with God's glue
It's going to get stickier
too...
It's been a long hot summer
Let's get undercover
Don't try too hard to think...
don't think at all
I'm not the only one starin'
at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
if you took a look inside
Not just deaf and dumb I'm
staring at the sun
Not the only one who's happy
to go blind
There's an insect in your
ear if you scratch it won't disappear
It's gonna itch and burn
and sting
Do you want to see what
the scratching brings
Waves that leave me out
of reach
Breaking on your back like
a beach...
Will we ever live in peace?
'Cause those that can't
do often have to
Those that can't do often
have to... preach
To
the ones staring at the sun...
Afraid
of what you'll find if you took a look inside
Not
just deaf and dumb... staring at the sun
I'm
not the only one who'd rather go blind
Intransigence
is all around... military still in town
Armour
plated suits and ties... daddy just won't say goodbye
Referee
won't blow the whistle God is good but will he listen
I'm
nearly great
But
there's something I'm missing I left in the duty free
Though
you never really belonged to me
You're
not the only one starin' at the sun
Afraid
of what you'd find if you stepped back inside
I'm
not sucking my thumb I'm staring at the sun
Not
the only one who's happy to go blind
She
feels the ground is giving way
BUT
she thinks WE'RE better off that way
"The
more you take the less you feel
The
less you know the more you believe
The
more you have the more it takes today"
YOU
GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY
YOU
GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY
YOU
GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY
She
DOESN'T CARE WHAT IT''S worth
SHE'S
LIVING LIKE IT'S THE LAST NIGHT ON EARTH
She's
not waiting on a saviour to come
She's
at a bus-stop with the NEWS OF THE WORLD
AND
THE sun sun here it comes
She's
not waiting for anyone
YOU
GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY
YOU
GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY
YOU
GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY
She
knows just what it's worth
SHE'S
LIVING LIKE IT'S THE LAST NIGHT ON EARTH
Slipping
away... slip slide...
The world turns and we get dizzy Slipping away |
The
clock tells her that time is slipping...
Minute hands and seconds sticking... There's something going on she Might be missing The world turns and we get dizzy Is it spinning for you the way it's Spinning for me |
She's
living living next week now
You
know she's going to pay it back somehow
She
hasn't been to bed in a week
She'll
be dead soon then she'll sleep
YOU
GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY
YOU
GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY
YOU
GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY
She
ALREADY knows it hurts
SHE'S
LIVING LIKE IT'S THE LAST NIGHT ON EARTH
Last
NIGHT ON EARTH
LAST
NIGHT ON EARTH
You
got to feel so guilty got so much for so little
Then
you find that feeling just won't go away
You're
holding on to every little thing so tightly
Till
there's nothing left for you anyway
GOODBYE
YOU CAN KEEP THIS SUIT OF LIGHTS
I'LL
BE UP WITH THE SUN
ANDNOTCOMINGDOWN...
IMNOTCOMINGDOWN
IMNOTCOMINGDOWN
You
wanted to get somewhere so badly
You
had to lose yourself along the way
You
change a name but that's okay... it's necessary
And
what you leave behind you don't miss anyway
GOODBYE
YOU CAN KEEP THIS SUIT OF LIGHTS
I'LL
BE UP WITH THE SUN
ANDNOTCOMINGDOWN...
IMNOTCOMINGDOWN
IMNOTCOMINGDOWN
AND
I'M ALREADY GONE
FELT
that way all along
Closer
to you every day
Didn't
want it that much anyway
You're
taking steps that make you feel dizzy
Then
you get to like the way it feels
You
hurt yourself you hurt your lover
Then
you discover...
What
you thought was freedom was just greed
Goodbye...
no emotional goodnight
We'll
be up WITH the sun
Are
you still holding on
I'm
not coming down
I'm
not coming down
Weather
'round here choppin' and changin'
Surgery
in the air
Print
shirts and southern accents
Cigars
and big hair
We
got the wheels and petrol is cheap
Only
went there for a week
Got
the surf got the sand
Got
the batteries in the hadycam
Her
eyes are swimming pool blue
Dumb
bells on the diving board
Baby's
always attracted to the things she's afraid of
Big
girl with the sweet tooth
Watches
the skinny girl in the photo shoot
Freshmen
squeaky clean
She
tastes of chlorine
MIAMI
MY MAMMY
Love
the movies... love to walk those movie sets
Get
to shoot someone in the foot
Get
to smoke some cigarettes
No
big deal we know the score
Just
back from the video store
Got
the car and the car chase
What's
he got inside that case
I
want a close up of that face
Here
comes the car chase
MIAMI
MY MAMMY
MIAMI
I bought
two new suits... miami
Pink
aND BLUE... MIAMI
I
TOOK A PICTURE OF YOU... miami
Getting
hot in the photo booth... miami
I
said you looked like a madonna
You
said... maybe... said I want to have your baby... BABY
WE
COULD MAKE something beautiful
Something
that wouldn't be a problem
At
least not in... miami
Some
places are like your auntie
But
there's no place like
MIAMI
MY MAMMY
If
coke is a mystery
And
micheal jackson... history
If
beauty is truth
And
surgery the fountain of youth
What
am I to do
Have
I got the gifts to get me through
The
gates of that mansion
If
oj is more than a drink
And
a big mac bigger than you think
If
perfume is an obsession
And
talk shows... confession
What
have we got to lose
Another
push and maybe we'll be through
The
gates of that mansion
I never
bought a lotto ticket
I
never parked in anyone's space
The
banks they're like cathedrals
I
guess casinos took their place
LOVE
'COME ON DOWN
Don't
wake her she'll come around
Chance
is a kind of religion
Where
you're damned for plain hard luck
I
never did see that movie
I
never did read that book
Love
come on down
Let
my numbers come around
Don't
know if I can hold on
Don't
know if I'm that strong
Don't
know if I can wait that long
Till
the colours come flashing
And
the lights go on
Then
will there be no time of sorrow
Then
will there be no time for shame
And
though I can't say why
I
know I've got to believe
We'll
go driving in that pool
It's
who you know that gets you through
The
gates of the playboy mansion
Then
will there be no time of sorrow
Then
will there be no time for pain
Than
will there be no time of sorrow
Then
will there be no time for shame
I've
been good 'cause I know you don't want me to
Do
you really want me to be as blue as you...
It's
her daylight that gets me through
We've
been here before... last time you scratched at my door
The
moon was naked and cold I was like a two year old
Who
just wanted more
If
you wear that velvet dress
If
you wear that velvet dress
Tonight
the moon has drawn its curtains
It's
a private show no one else going to know
I'm
wanting
Sunlight
sunlight fills my room
It's
sharp and it's clear
But
nothing at all like the moon...
It's
okay... the struggle for things not to say
I
never listened to you anyway
And
I got my own hands to pray...
But
if you wear that velvet dress
But
if you wear that velvet dress
Tonight
the moon is a mirrorball
Light
flickers from across the hall
Who'll
catch the star when it falls...
If
you wear that velvet dress
So
you never knew love until you crossed the line of grace
And
you never felt wanted till you had someone slap your face
So
you never felt alive until you almost wasted away
You
had to win
You
couldn't just pass
The
smartest ass
At
the top of the class
Your
flying colours
Your
family tree
And
all your lessons in history
Please...
please... please get up off your knees... please... please... leave me
out of this
Please
And
you never knew how low you'd stoop to make that call
And
you never knew what was on the ground till they made you crawl
And
you never knew that the heaven you keep you stole
Your
catholic blues
Your
convent shoes
Your
stick on tattoos
Now
they're making the news
You
holy war
Your
northen star
Your
sermon ont he mount
From
the boot of your car
Please...
please... please get up off your knees... please... please... leave me
out of this
Please
So
love is hard and love is tough
But
love is not what you're thinking of
September...
streets capsizing... spilling over, down the drain
...
shards of glass splinter like rain but you could only feel your own pain...
October...
talking getting nowhere... november... december... remember...
Are
we just starting again...?
So
love is big bigger than us
But
love is not what you're thinking of
IT'S
what lovers deal it's what lovers steal
You
know I've found it hard to receive
'Cause
you my love I could never believe
Jesus,
Jesus help me
I'm
alone in this world
And
a fucked up world it is too
Tell
me, tell me the story
The
one about eternity
And
the way it's all gonna be
WAKE
UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN
WAKE
UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN
Jesus,
I'm waiting here boss
I
know you're looking out for us
But
maybe your hands aren't free
Your
Father, He made the world in seven
He's
in charge of heaven
Will
you put a word in for me
WAKE
UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN
WAKE
UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN
Listen
to your words they'll tell you what to do
Listen
over the rythm that's confusing you
Listen
to the reed of the saxaphone
Listen
over the hum of the radio
Listen
over sounds of blades in rotation
Listen
through the traffic and circulation
Listen
as hope and peace try to rhyme
Listen
over marching bands playing out their time
WAKE
UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN
WAKE
UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN
Jesus,
were you just around the corner?
Did
You think to try and warn her?
Or
are you working on something new?
If
there's an order in all this disorder
Is
it like a tape recorder?
Can
we rewind it just once more
WAKE
UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN
WAKE
UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN
