Maybe I've forgotten the name and the address, Of every one I've ever known. It's nothing I regret. Save it for another day, It's the school exam and the kids have run away.
I would like a place I could call my own. Have a conversation on the telephone. Wake up every day that would be a start. I would not complain about my wounded heart.
I was upset you see, almost all the time. You used to be a stranger. Now you are mine.
I wouldn't even trust you, I've not got much to give. We're dealing in the limits, and we don't know who with. You may think that I'm out of hand, that I'm naive, I'll understand. On this occasion, it's not true. Look at me, I'm not you.
I would like a place I could call my own, have a conversation on the telephone. Wake up every day that would be a start. I would not complain about my wounded heart.
I was a short fuse, burning all the time. You were a complete stranger. Now you are mine.
I would like a place I could call my own, have a conversation on the telephone. Wake up every day that would be a start. I would not complain about my wounded heart.
Just wait till tomorrow. I guess that's what they all say, just before they fall apart.
I turn sideways to the sun, keep my thoughts from everyone. It's a jungle, I'm a freak. Hear me talk, but never speak.
So I'm stepping out of time, because breaking is a crime. And it may all be too late, but I've no passion for this hate.
That's the price of love. (that's the price of love) Can you feel it? (can you feel it?) If we could buy it now, (that's the price of love) how long would it last? (that's the price of love)
And when this building is on fire, these flames can't burn any higher. I turn sideways to the sun, and in a moment I am gone.
(that's the price of love) That's the price of love. (can you feel it) If we could buy it now, How long would it last?
(that's the price of love can you feel it?) If we could buy it now, How long will it last?
Listen, I may be wrong but you'll listen. There's something wrong you could say. Ruined in a day. You could be the lover of jade, forever on your own in the shade. Let's do it anyway.
Some people like to deceive you, while others may feel that they need you. While I do the best that I can, keeping my life in my hands.
And if you feel, your cradle rockin', then take the wheel, don't let me stop you. (Hang around for awhile), but stop acting like a child. Every step we take is the one, that's gonna undo what you've done.
It could take all day.
Some people like to deceive you, while others may feel that they need you. But I do the best that I can, I keep my world in my hands.
Some people like to deceive you, while others may feel that they need you. But I do the best that I can, keeping my world in my hands.
At the end of the day, there's no food on our plate. So we beg and we steal, for we know love is real. And if we don't take a chance, in a spare sideways glance. These are all the chains I wanted, to justify the things I do.
And when we kiss we speak as one, and in a single breath this world is gone. And when we kiss we speak as one. With a single breath this world is gone.
It's a crisis I know, at the end of the show. People change but we don't falter, 'cause we know love is real. This is no place to shiver, so get up off the grass. You were once the main attraction, but all that's in the past.
How much is free, for me and you? I'm on my knees, I am a fool. But when we kiss we speak as one. With a single breath this world is gone. (this world is gone).
How could I fail to give her, when she cried such a lot. People change but we don't falter, 'cause we use what we've got.
And when we kiss we speak as one. With a single breath this world is gone. And when we kiss we speak as one. With a single breath this world is gone. (this world is gone) (this world is gone) (this world is gone)
Pictures of an image of a person who could not be blamed. You are a color and you are a number. We need sanctions to see one another. If I keep my distance in the season of this slender hell. It's because of the need to live off one another. Go home young offender and stay undercover.
We're busy running out of time. (Whatever it takes, I will make it mine) I'll take the future from your hand. (All the things I've never had, I'll commit the perfect crime)
We're strong, we do our thing, let the world cry, watch the birds sing. Give me the freedom, I need to recover. Words cannot heal, when a line is your lover.
Wind howls in my chamber like an angel. (like an angel) You are a color and you are a number. Go home young offender and stay undercover.
I haven't time to sympathise, with all this nonsense and your lies. You are the king of nothing, but you shall hold me. You've got your finger on the pulse, and in my pocket, yes of course. I am the voice of treason, but you betrayed me.
I used up nearly all my luck. I didn't have to try. But yesterday is gone, and now I need an alibi. If this gets any stranger things are gonna change. 'Cause I can't stand the music, always stopping. If that's what it takes, I'll do it (I'll do it). I'll keep on right on through it (on through it).
So please believe me when I say, I wouldn't give the time of day. Because then I'd be faking, when I could tell the truth. Were you abandoned in your youth? Because if not, you will be soon. I'm growing tired of waiting, for you to say goodbye.
Any kind of fool with the will to live. Tries to get it right with the one they're with. But even though I give you special treatment, you keep getting high juvenile delinquent.
And this is how it feels to be, on the payroll company. Your every scene is in the round, and all the men are falling down.
Constantly harrassed and misunderstood. I'm the 'lost and found' of the neighbourhood. And I am not a part of society. So don't get off the ground just be with me.
I would brave a rainstorm in my car. Maybe you can leave but you won't get far. It wasn't just a dream it was much too good. Just another day in the brotherhood.
And this is how it feels to be, on the payroll company. Your every scene is in the round, and all the men are falling down.
And this is how it feels to be, on the payroll company. Your every scene is in the round, we don't need to hang around.
In a manger like Christ I lay. Yellow fever, yellow hay. Feel the rhythm, the sweetest sound. Making, breaking sacred ground. I'll give you a piece of my love for free, but whatever I say you will never see. Acquire a taste for a different sound. Make or break it this side of town.
Life will never be the same, In Port-Royal town, I hear it coming. The shaking of the ground, they're stealing in the day, In Port-Royal town, the children are running.
Ever strange are the lives we lead, so detached from the things we need. Signs of greed in everyone. Instant addiction and the blood on a gun. Just when you think you've found it, spinning world won't spin around it. What is wrong? This pain won't peel. The fibres of my life won't heal.
It isn't what it used to be. I wake up every night, on the stairs, waiting for the dawn to come. Every drop of wine, you can be my time. Only tomorrow knows. Why do we beg when we can borrow? This time we knew. No more or less, there's nothing left.
It was always special, it was like water down the drain. I'm intoxicated, every time I hear your name. I try to remember, but nothing is the same.
It wasn't that I didn't try. It's not the kind of thing, that you buy. Written in my destiny. Life is but a dream, covered by the sky. Stop saying that you're calling time. Look at your life before you start on mine. I'm not the kind of person that you need. I'm sick of trying. I mean that, it's over.
It was always special, it was like water down the drain. I'm intoxicated, every time I hear your name, I try to remember, but nothing is the same. It was always special, it was like water down the drain.
Patiently you wait for me. You are so blind. I thought it couldn't be, then changed my mind. Drowning in the endless sea. Line all those lines. The traces of your memory, don't belong with mine.
We're like crystal, we break easy I'm a poor man, if you leave me I'm applauded, then forgotten It was summer, now it's autumn
I don't know what to say, you don't care anyway I'm a man in a rage (just tell me what I've got to do), with a girl I betrayed Here comes love, it's like honey You can't buy it with money, you're not alone anymore, (whenever you're here with me), You shock me to the core, you shock me to the core
We're like crystal, it's not easy With your love, you could feed me Every man, and every woman Needs someone, So keep it coming Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming

Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming
There is a secret place Underneath a tree Where if you go and haste You will find a key The key will open doors And you will look inside The things that you will see Will open up your eyes
At any given time On every other street The city comes to life Though everyone's asleep A man beats up his wife He doesn't wanna keep Behind closed doors They're in retreat
I don't know what makes me stay The city life just ain't the same There's something wrong with kids today I blame the parents anyway There's no hope No one to trust I can't cope It's obvious Please don't take my drugs away I'm gonna give them up someday
There is a place somewhere That I could call a home I'd live without a care I'd never be alone One day I will get there I feel it in my bones I check upon the scores I listen to The Coors Behind closed doors
Behind closed doors Behind closed doors Behind closed doors They still want more Behind closed doors

We didn't have nowhere to live, We didn't have nowhere to go Til someone said "I know this place off Burditt Road." It was on the fifteenth floor, It had a board across the door. It took an hour To prise it off and get inside. It smelt as if someone had died; The living room was full of flies, The kitchen sink was blocked, The bathroom sink not there at all.
Ooh, it's a mess alright, Yes it's Mile End.
And now we're living in the sky I never thought I'd live so high, Just like Heaven, If it didn't look like Hell. The lift is always full of piss, The fifth floor landing smells of fish Not just on Friday, Every single other day. Below the kids come out tonight, They kick a ball and have a fight And maybe shoot somebody if they lose at pool.
Ooh, It's a mess alright, Yes it's Mile End.
Nobody wants to be your friend Cos you're not from round here, ooh As if that was Something to be proud about. The pearly king of the Isle of Dogs Feels up children in the bogs. Down by the playing fields, Someone sets a car on fire I guess you have to go right down Before you understand just how, How low, How low a human being can go.
I feel so extraordinary Something's got a hold on me I get this feeling I'm in motion A sudden sense of liberty I don't care 'cause I'm not there And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow Again and again I've taken too much Of the things that cost you too much I used to think that the day would never come I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun My morning sun is the drug that brings me near To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear I used to think that the day would never come That my life would depend on the morning sun...
When I was a very small boy, Very small boys talked to me Now that we've grown up together They're afraid of what they see That's the price that we all pay And the value of destiny comes to nothing I can't tell you where we're going I guess there was just no way of knowing I used to think that the day would never come I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun My morning sun is the drug that brings me near To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear I used to think that the day would never come That my life would depend on the morning sun...
I feel so extraordinary Something's got a hold on me I get this feeling I'm in motion A sudden sense of liberty The chances are we've gone too far You took my time and you took my money Now I fear you've left me standing In a world that's so demanding I used to think that the day would never come I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun My morning sun is the drug that brings me near To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear I used to think that the day would never come That my life would depend on the morning sun...
