you don't know how bad i got it you got it easy you don't know when you got it good it's getting harder just keeping life and soul together I'm sick of fighting even though i know i should the cold is biting through each and every nerve and fibre my broken spirit is frozen to the core don't want to be here no more wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes even if it was for just one day and wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away wouldn't it be good to be on your side the grass is always greener over there wouldn't it be good if we cold live without a care you must be joking you don't know a thing about it you've got no problem I'd stay right there if it were you i got it harder you couldn't dream how hard it got it stay out of my shoes f you know what's good for you the heat is stifling burning me up from the inside the sweat is coming through each and every pore don't want to be here no more wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes even if it was just for one day and wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away wouldn't it be good to be on your side the grass is always greener over there and wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care |

Forty winks in the lobby, make mine a G&T
Then to our favorite hobby, searching for an enemy Here in our paper houses Stretching for miles and miles Old men in stripy trousers rule the world with plastic smiles Good or bad, like it or not It's the only one we've got I won't let the sun go down on me I won't let the sun go down I won't let the sun go down on me I won't let the sun go down Mother nature isn't in it three hundred million years Goodbye in just a minute, gone forever, no more tears Pinball man, power glutton, vacuum inside his head Forefinger on the button, is he blue or is he red Break your silence if you would Before the sun goes down for good I won't let the sun go down on me I won't let the sun go down I won't let the sun go down on me I won't let the sun go down I won't let the sun go down on me I won't let the sun go down I won't let the sun go down on me I won't let the sun go down I won't let the sun go down on me I won't let the sun go down |

closing in on empty spaces
winners laugh too soon a paper world with paper faces beneath a paper moon there's a man, a real pacesetter coming after me and after him there's someone better and after him there's me he'll offer you a cigarette he'll offer you a light but he hasn't finished with you yet on another long, knife night so look behind you there's the man you're chasing look behind you let's go human racing human racing let's go racing now open arms and open purses open season's here fill your heads with clever verses and then they disappear silent vows in secret places they'll get you somehow 'cause you never win in human races so who's the loser now look behind you there's the man you're casing look behind you let's go human racing human racing let's go racing now |

I got two strong arms blessings of Babylon
With time to carry on and try for sins and alarms So to America the brave Wise men save Near a tree by a river There's a hole in the ground Where an old man of saran Goes around and around And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night For a strange kind of fashion There's a wrong and a right But he'll never, never fight over you I got plans for us nights in the scullery And days instead of me I only know what to discuss of for anything but light Wise men fighting over you It's not me you see pieces of valentine With just a song of mine to keep from burning history Seasons of gasoline and gold Wise men fold Near a tree by a river There's a hole in the ground Where an old man of saran Goes around and around And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night For a strange kind of fashion There's a wrong and a right But he'll never, never fight over you I got time to kill sly looks in corridors Without a plan of yours a blackbird sings on bluebird hill Thanks to the calling of the wild Wise mens child Near a tree by a river There's a hole in the ground Where an old man of saran Goes around and around And his mind is a beacon In the veil of the night For a strange kind of fashion There's a wrong and a right But he'll never, never fight over you |

I pretend that I'm glad you went away
But these four walls close in more every day And I'm dying inside and nobody knows it but me Like a clown I put on a show The pain is real even if nobody knows And I'm crying inside and nobody knows it but me Why didn't I say the things I needed to say How could I let my angel get away Now my world is just a-tumblin' down I can say it so clearly but you're nowhere around The night are lonely, the days are so sad And I just keep thinkin' about the love that we had And I'm missing you and nobody knows it but me How blue can I get, you could ask my heart Just like a jigsaw puzzle it's been torn all apart A million words couldn't say just how I feel A million years from now, you know, I'll be loving you still The night are lonely, the days are so sad And I just keep thinkin' about the love that we had And I'm missing you and nobody knows it but me The night are lonely, the days are so sad And I just keep thinkin' about the love that we had And I'm missing you and nobody knows it but me |

Cold and lonely, tired and bored
Just like the day before Missing out on life's reward Of that you can be sure So bring on the dancing girls Take off the cold night and the sad day Bring on the dancing girls Take off the twilight and the skies so grey And they dance for him inside his head Soul destroyed by life's demands With nothing to believe Our hero sits with head in hands And heart upon his sleeve So bring on the dancing girls Take off the cold night and the sad day Bring on the dancing girls Bring on the girls to dance his blues away And they danced for him inside his head Dancing girls Take off the cold night and the sad day Bring on the dancing girls Bring on the girls to dance his blues away |

I catch my breath and ready for the race to come
No prizes call, the contest is my opium Since you can never be sure When they're keeping the score You must always be ready to run I tense myself Waiting for the starting gun No time for fun Because I work all day and I think all night I break my body but that's alright 'Cos it'll take my mind and all my might To keep one step ahead of you I think to myself living is a winning school Winning on your feet, winning on the street Winning as a golden rule It's seems there's always a test And I'm doing my best But there still seems a long way to go I try myself Trying everything I know Pushing me so So (Chorus) Don't wanna know why Don't wanna know how or when or who One step ahead One more step ahead just to get me through I try my best Here comes another test So wicked, no rest Because (Chorus 2x) |

Sitting here feeding
all these nimbers into my machine A number for every little thing I see I execute and they come dancing in Dresses black and green I recognise the number shining out at me Telling me One world, one love, one reason why One hope, one dream, one reason why One world, one love, one reason why One hope, one dream, one reason why One reason why Many a good man stops to reason and pause for a while Many a big man doesn't even try And those who shold know better love the Word in praise and letter They wonder how and when When I just wonder why I wonder (One world, one love, one reason why One hope, one dream, one reason why One world, one love, one reason why One hope, one dream, one reason why One reason why They're crying in future tenses Tearing down the walls and fences No matter how I count It still comes to the same amount One world, one love, one reason why One hope, one dream, one reason why One world, one love, one reason why One hope, one dream, one reason why One reason why |

Half-way to paradise or so it seems that way
Same as anyone the same as any other day. We seek eternity in all the things we buy Not top priority but it sure figures very high. Who steals the real world fooling us all as it goes And who gets to heaven - heaven knows. When a heart beats you can see forever When our time sleeps you can be forever be forever. Meanwhile in Cuckoo Land a most delightful place We look no further than the nose in front of our face. No wood anywhere we can see only trees Last train for material refugees. When a heart beats you can see forever When our time sleeps you can be forever. When a heart beats you can see forever When our time sleeps you can be forever be forever. Don't concern yourself with matters past and future Just put your mind to where they meet. But when a heart beats fooling us all as it goes And who gets to heaven - heaven knows. When a heart beats you can see forever When our time sleeps you can be forever be forever - be forever - be forever - be forever - be forever - Heart beats heart beats - be forever - Heart beats heart beats - be forever - be forever. |
