There's a song I know, I know - too well
An there's a place I go, I go to dwell Some forsaken land, where you're not around Desiring, dividing your time Nothing I could do it was pretty risky Fifty-fifty, she'll make good problem for me She's as cold as ice, she deep frozen She's a saint at home, devil abroad Calculated cool, so worldly wise If you take my advice, just hightail out of there Go right ahead before she tells Some cock-and-bull story about some school boy She neurotic, psychotic, you name it, she's got it Ooh Another great divide, another great divide (la-la-la...) Now how can I figure this equation, if multiplication's the rule You keep subtracting me from you, and it just doesn't add up at all How can I figure this equation, if multiplication's the rule You keep subtracting me from you, and it just doesn't add up at all Ooh another great divide, another great divide Just another great divide, just another great divide Just another great, just another great, just another great divide [repeat to fade with an extra 'divide' each third line] |

History never repeats
I tell myself before I go to sleep Don't say the words you might regret I lost before, you know I can't forget There was a girl I used to know She dealt my love a savage blow I was so young, too blind to see But anyway that's history I say history never repeats I tell myself before I go to sleep Don't say the words you might regret I lost before, you know I can't forget You say I always play the fool I can't go on if that's the rule Better to jump than hesitate I need a change and I can't wait History never repeats I tell myself before I go to sleep And there's a light shining in the dark Leading me on towards a change of heart, ah History never repeats History never repeats Deep in the night it's all so clear I lie awake with great ideas Lurking about in no-man's land I think at last I understand History never repeats I tell myself before I go to sleep And there's a light shining in the dark Leading me on towards a change of heart, ah Never repeats Never repeats Never repeats Hey hey Hey Never repeats |

I got you - that's all I want
I won't forget - that's a whole lot I don't go out - now that you're in Sometimes we shout - but that's no problem I don't know why sometimes I get frightened You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin' Look at you - you're a pageant You're everything - that I've imagined Something's wrong - I feel uneasy You show me - tell me you're not teasin' I don't know why sometimes I get frightened You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin' There's no doubt - not when I'm with you When I'm without - I stay in my room Where do you go - I get no answer You're always out - it gets on my nerves I don't know why sometimes I get frightened You can see my eyes you can tell that I'm not lying I don't know why sometimes I get frightened You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin' I don't know why sometimes I get frightened You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lying |

When my baby's walking down the street
I see red, I see red, I see red. How could someone wicked walk around free I see red, I see red, I see red. I see red, I see red (red!), I see red. I respect your wishes You gave me such precious hours What to do without you. Squeezed me out of your life Down the drain like molten toothpaste I feel used and spat out. Poor old me [chorus] I'm fed up with crying My despair is dying, Turning into rage, day by day Green before you met me In the pink when you let me love you I was blue when you let me down Black and Blue [chorus] Go! I see red, I see red, I see red.. |

I saw you standing there at the bar
Your eyes were glazed with passion A look of afar, a secret smile I blew a few kisses Said my name is Lyle That love in her eyes (love in her eyes) Heart to heart (heart to heart) A tender goodbye (a tender goodbye) Nothing could ever keep us apart As you sipped your tequila I knew I had to steal ya Read like a book Surprise that you took your time Dig that rhyme Gone, love took offence at the things I said Good advice would be to go to bed Rest my head, yeah Catch 40 winks While I dream about the things she said Late last night, ooh yeah, late last night She told me someone taught me everything I need to know, yeah Last last night, late last night She took my trembling hands and led me under the velvet sky Rolling on the hill top playing Jack and Jill Suddenly (suddenly) all was still, she was gone She seemed so aloof That's ninety per cent proof, with a lump in my throat I grabbed my coat and ran - cornered again! So I'll live for the moment and I'll take it as an omen Gotta weakness for de women and de wine Late last night, ooh yeah, late last night She told me someone taught me everything I need to know, yeah Late last night, ooh yeah, late last night She told me someone taught me everything I need to know, yeah Last last night, late late late late last night She told me everything I know, know know... |

My house is sliding into the sea
Skies are grey, since you've been away The chickens aren't laying eggs no more It can only mean you left me for sure But I still think of you when I'm alone How can I ever repay you for what you do to me I still think of you when I'm alone How can I ever repay you for what you're doin' to me La do dah la do dah dah la do dah My trees are all turning brown The sun won't shine, now you're no longer mine The rats are crawlin' up me back It can only mean you're never coming back But I still, think of you when I'm alone Oh how could I ever repay you for what you're doin' to me And I still, think of you when I'm alone Oh how could I ever repay you for what you're doin' to me La do dah la do dah dah la do dah Wooh! My bed is leaning to one side You know I can't sleep now that I've lost my pride The flies are swarming in like bees I even have to share my clothes with fleas But I still, think of you when, I'm alone How can I ever repay you for what you're doin' to me And I still, think of you when, I'm alone How can I ever repay you for what you're doin' to me Right now! La do dah la do dah dah la do dah |

Hiding in the wings forever
We'll take the stage, 'cos it's now or never And the whole thing reeks of cheap striptease The matinee idylls, they all fall to their knees It's not all first nights at all There's nothing more dull than a curtain call (Get on with it) Playing Romeo, you make your debut - ha! Rose red cheeks but your face is all blue It's not all bouquets & white crayons They're going to laugh when you look down I'm going to ask you if you want to be a chorus boy You can mime the tragedy while we all sing along It's not all first nights at all There's nothing more dull than a curtain call (Jolly good show everyone) |

I went out to see if I could fall in love again,
That was my mistake. That was my mistake. I went out to see if I could raise a laugh again That was my mistake. That was my mistake. When all I needed was a friend, To make me stop and think again, Pull me up and pull me through, Tally ho, your health my dear. I went out to see if I could live for a couple of days. That was my mistake. That was my mistake. One by one I counted all those happiest of days. Yeah, That was my mistake. Why, That was my mistake. Whats gone is gone, sweet memories, Dont let them get the best of me, No more lost in history, No more lost for love. When all I needed was a friend, To make me stop and think again, The call to arms is loud and clear, Tally ho, your health my dear. I went out to see if I could fall in love again, That was my mistake. Why, That was my mistake. One by one I counted all those happiest of days That was my mistake. That was my mistake. That was my mistake. That was my mistake. |

Stranger than fiction
Larger than life Full of shades and echoes It's the story of my life Just like a picture book Daddy's gone away Leaving Mummy in her room With another one on the way At nights I've heard her screaming Through the coloured walls Oh, please don't leave me alone Please don't leave me alone And even her friend the hippyman With his tarot cards to play Drowning in his sea of words Why he never has much to say And I've seen him standing by the river Singing to the birds Just like the mystic says Be careful of what you say Talking to himself he needs no one To help him on his way Do you? At nights I've heard him screaming Through the candle flame Oh, please don't leave me alone Please don't leave me alone |

You act as though
You are a blind man who's crying Crying about All the virgins that are dying In your habitual dreams You know, seems you need more sleep But like a parrot in a flaming tree I know it's pretty hard to see I'm beginning to wonder If it's time for a change But still you try like a fat boy Dancing Gershwin's Blues But you'd rather sit at home And watch the news And I'm beginning to wonder If it's time for a change I'm beginning to wonder If it's time for a change |

from Hotel De Love (호텔 드 러브) by Brett Rosenberg [ost] (1996)
I fall apart when you're around
When you're here, I'm nowhere I can't pretend that I'm not down I show it, I know it I've been a fool - more than once, more than twice I'm gonna move to a new town where the people are nice I hope I never, I hope I never have to sigh again I hope I never, I hope I never have to cry again I still want to beam and smile Happiness is back in style yeah I hope I never, I hope I never have to see you again Again, oh oh oh oh It should be possible I know To see you without stress But I can see I'll have to go I'm changing my address My urge to cry I have failed to conceal Life - it's no fun when you're hunted by the things that you feel I hope I never, I hope I never have to sigh again I hope I never, I hope I never have to cry again I'm for living while you can I'm an optimistic man I hope I never, I hope I never have to see you again Again, oh oh oh oh... I hope I never I hope I never I hope I never, never, never... I hope I never, I hope I never have to see you again Again. |
