Just like a man, flexing his muscle and not really usin' it
Just like a fool, making her suffer And stuffing her feelings with cotton wool Well, forgive him, forgive him Just like a man, carrying a picture but seeing in the negative Just like a fool, all double standards baby do this but never do that Well, forgive him, forgive him, forgive him He makes her fall, face down into the pillow Climbing the wall, weeping like a weeping willow Hands her a tissue he's already used Just like a man, just like a man Dragging her under for everything he'll never be Ripping her asunder, said he didn't really love her anyway Well, forgive him, forgive him Just like a man, thrashing out blindly way out of his depth Just like a fool, there's no device he won't employ He even cries like a little boy Well, forgive him, forgive him Forgive him Just like a man, just like a man Just like a man, just like a man |

The dark hand will call you out of nowhere it seems
The black cloud will bust apart shattering your dreams They all put up barricades blank you out at first Then they'll get to you to get to me who'll know what's worse I say Fear not baby fear not Fear not baby fear not Fear not baby fear not baby fear not It's going to end Get your drink knocked over you're thinking that it might be planned But it's just some fool in the crowd tonight What's the name written on his hand I won't give away anything more than the ink from my pen You ought to know when you look at me Love is something you can't offend I say Fear not baby fear not Fear not baby fear not Fear not baby fear not baby fear not It's going to end I said fear not I said fear not I can't stand to leave you to the lions of the world Yeah I know that it seems like we're in a cage but we ain't the animals I won't let them touch you not a hair that's on your head They can rip out bits of me that should keep them fed I say Fear not baby fear not Fear not baby fear not Fear not baby fear not baby fear not It's going to end It's going to end |

I got to break this armour, cutting off all the feeling (don't wear it)
It's like a melodrama, everybody's scene stealing (just bear it) It's always the same old number, they never let you out of school (it's nothing) Well I gotta gun that's loaded, I want to hurt some fool (don't shoot it) Well The woods are full of wardens, they are digging up remains It feels like the big stick that smacks of oppression And it sounds like chains I wanna bite the hand, bite off the hand that fed me (don't eat it) I want to turn the knife, turn the knife that bled me (you need it) You've got it all wrong, you never heard what I said (don't worry) Well I got a gun that's loaded, it's not pointing at my head (Don't rush it, don't hurry) No-one can keep these ropes around me, or take the blood out of my veins I'll just pull the trigger back as the volume gets stronger And it sounds like chains Instrumental then "Sounds like chains" 4 times then "Oooh Chains" and more instrumental bits. Nothing hurts me any longer, there isn't room for any pain I'll just pull the trigger back as the volume gets stronger And it sounds like chains Oooh chains, sounds like chains, ooh chains, sounds like chains |

Nothing can be further removed, not everybody wants to be soothed ooooh
they're out there now in their padded cells and armchairs Waiting for the nervous twitch that signals fear Hooked up to a cardiogram set up so it cuts out when you cry or laugh Worked by those who if you screw up treat you to a broken nose If you tap your toes Passive resistance! If it's not for them then it's not for you Passive resistance! Where the only view is the right view Passive resistance! And it breaks my heart to know there's no heart involved Put the demographics away, the directors and consultants have the final say Hired in, take home all the ones who missed for souvenirs, for their kids to play Passive resistance! It's all programmed by programmers Passive resistance! You're just a nail underneath their hammers Passive resistance! And it breaks my heart to know there's no heart in them Nothing can be further removed, not everybody wants to be soothed Oooh they must be real, people that you never meet and never feel And they don't feel you Passive resistance! You get surveyed out of existence Passive resistance! Just one in a million silent listeners Passive resistance! It's all programmed by programmers Passive resistance! You're just a nail underneath their hammers Passive resistance! And it breaks your heart To know there's no heart involved, involved, involved |

Took her to a party and danced with the host
Took her to a restaurant and treat her like a ghost Took her to a movie and looked at another screen Paid for entertainment she'd already seen I get so hungry, I'm eating my heart out oooh I felt it go empty I'm wondering what I can be thinking about CHORUS 1 But you can't take love for granted, underneath another skin Can't take love for granted, up behind another grin Demonstrated passion in a grip hard to shake Took up every fashion till everything went fake Pulled a coat over her shoulder, cracked a joke over and over Watch the rain turn the night colder, stared into the headlight beam I get so wired I'm making all the wrong connections And I get so tired I'm picking up bad affections REPEAT CHORUS 1 CHORUS 2 Can't take love for granted, can't take love for granted, Can't take love for granted, can't take love for granted, Watch the swans out on the lake, circle circle circle (circle circle) Talk and talk and talk around it (circle circle) REPEAT CHORUS 1 then CHORUS 2 then CHORUS 1 twice (fade) |

I used to think that it all stopped happening
by the time you reached twenty one They said there's nothing like the first love you get boy They were wrong, oh so wrong, they hung on and hung on, to their dream, I know CHORUS Life gets better yeah When ever I'm in her arms Just to know I'm not the average fella I'm the one, I'm the one for her Well it's a shame what they do to these young kids Just encourage them to act like clowns And then they think that they don't have much longer Knocked up the first time she let em get down Put four walls around and then scream, but I know REPEAT CHORUS Life stretches before me an endless mystery And nothing can bore me, when she's with me I feel the heartbeat of the world in the hands of this girl But it takes so much time to, to finally see, see, see I get a thrill when I think how it really is Noone can ever take that away They try to put rubber bands around your heart But they're wrong, oh so wrong, they hung on and hung on, to their dream, but I know Life gets better yeah When ever I'm in her arms Just to know I'm not the average fella I'm the one, I'm the one for her Oooh Life gets better yeah, When ever I'm in her arms Just to know I'm not the average sucker, I'm the one, I'm the one for her Oooh Life gets better yeah, Oooh Life gets better yeah Oooh Life gets better yeah |

Did they tear it out, with talons of steel
And give you a shot, so that you wouldn't feel And washed it away, as if it wasn't real It's just a mistake, I won't have to face Don't give it a name, don't give it a place Don't give it a chance, it's lucky in a way It must have felt strange, to find me inside you I hadn't intended to stay If you want to keep it right, put it to sleep at night Squeeze it until it could say You can't be too strong You can't be too strong You can't be too strong You can't be too strong You decide what's wrong Well I ain't gonna cry, I'm gonna rejoice And shout myself dry, and go see the boys They'll laugh when I say, I left it overseas Yeah babe I know it gets dark, down by Luna Park But everybody else, is squeezing out a spark That happened in the heat, somewhere in the dark, in the dark The doctor gets nervous, completing the service He's all rubber gloves and no head He fumbles the light switch, it's just another minor hitch Wishes to God he was dead But you can't be too strong You can't be too strong You can't be too strong You can't be too strong You decide what's wrong Can't be too hard, too tough, too rough, too right, too wrong And you, can't be too strong Baby you can't be too strong... |

Her heart is nearly breaking, the earth is nearly quaking
The Tokyo's taxi's braking, it's screaming to a halt And there's nothing to hold on to when gravity betrays you And every kiss enslaves you-oo-oo She knows how hard her heart grows under the nuclear shadows She can't escape the feeling repeating in her head When after all the urges some kind of truth emerges We felt the deadly surges Discovering Japan--an --an Discovering Japan--an --an The GIs only use her, they only ram right through her Giving an eastern promise, that they could never keep Seeing a million miles, between their joke and smiles She heard their hard denials [don't pause] As the tears dropped sideways down her face, face I woke up talking in the tongue of a different race, race And as the flight touches down my watch says 8:02 But that's midnight to you, Midnight to you Midight to you I dreamed headlong collisions in jet lag panavisions I shouted sayonara it didn't mean goodbye But lovers turn to posers show up in film exposures Just like in travel brochures Discovering Japan Discovering Japan (x6 and fade) |
