Swing Out Sister

LA is a great big freeway

Many girls have come to you
With a line that was untrue
And you just passed them by

And now your innocent to whim
And their lies don't mean a thing
Why don't you let me drive

I don't need a diamond ring
Cause you prove your love to me when you say
Sweet and mellow

La la la la la la la la la means I love you
La la la la la la la la la means I love you

Never thought I'd meet a boy
Who could bring me so much joy
You are the one for me

But let me take you in my arms
Surround you with my charms
I'm sure that you will see

The things that I'm saying are true
This is the way that I explain them you
Listen to me

La la la la la la la la la means I love you
La la la la la la la la la means I love you
The things that I'm saying are true
Now I'd bet to spend my whole life through
Loving you
Can't you hear me

La la la la la la la la la means I love you
La la la la la la la la la means I love you

La la la la la la la la la means I love you
La la la la la la la la la means I love you

Like a stranger's smile that lasts for a while
For a moment you feel happy inside
In a world that keeps on changing too fast
When the future always has the last laugh
Maybe we've made mistakes
Maybe we're not the only ones
Maybe it's not too late
To start over
All the shapes and patterns you'll see in your mind
Somewhere in the world
Someone's thinking of you
Somewhere in the world
Someone's thinking of you
Like a rainbow bursting out of the sky
Close your eyes and see your dreams running wild
Colors brighter than the sun all around
Everlasting as this new joy you've found
Maybe we've made mistakes
Maybe we're not the only ones
Maybe it's not too late
To start over
All the shapes and patterns you'll see in your mind
Somewhere in the world
Someone's thinking of you
Somewhere in the world
Someone's thinking of you
Somewhere in the world
Someone's thinking of you
Somewhere in the world
Someone's thinking of you
Starting all over again
In a world that keeps on changing much too fast
Maybe we've made mistakes
Maybe we're not the only ones
Maybe it's not too late
To start over
All the shapes and patterns you'll see in your mind
Somewhere in the world
Someone's thinking of you
Somewhere in the world
Someone's thinking of you
Somewhere in the world
Someone's thinking of you
Somewhere in the world
Someone's thinking of you
Somewhere in the world
Someone's thinking of you
Somewhere in the world
Someone's thinking of you
Somewhere in the world
Someone's thinking of you
Somewhere in the world
Someone's thinking of you-acapo

Every face you see is you
My memories just fade to blue
When I think of you
My disillusionment is past
Dreams never meant to last
Now there's nothing left to hide
I've disregarded foolish pride
Too many times
If you should go...
If you should go...
If you should go...
This heart's for hire
You brought me reeling to my senses
With lies and broken promises
There's no turning back
Words sad in heated moment
Leave me tormented still
Now there's nothing left to hide
I've disregarded foolish pride
Too many times
It makes no difference if I go or stay
Re-enacting the same scene over again
And again
If you should go...
If you should go...
If you should go...
This heart's for hire
This heart's for hire
This heart's for hire
This heart's for hire

I've spent too much timeWaiting for you in vainI can't hear your voiceAlthough I call your nameI can't go on but I still hang on just the sameI've spent endless nightsCrying you name out loudBut still remainAlone in an empty crowdAs time goes on I realize you'll never changeI say a prayerI count the hoursI hear a voice but it's not yoursI count the scoreI can't go on playing the waiting gameIf you should ever change your mindI'll be there just call my nameUntil then I'll be playing the waiting gameI've waited too longWishing my life awayConvincing myselfTomorrow you'd change your waysI can't go on but I still hang on just the sameI say a prayerI count the hoursI hear a voice but it's not yoursI count the scoreI can't go on playing the waiting gameAll you left me with emptinessNow everyday seems the sameYou've gone but I'm still playing the waitinggameIf you should ever change your mindI'll be there just call my nameUntil then I'll be playing the waiting gameI've waited too long for you to change your waysPlaying the waiting gameAll you left me with emptinessNow everyday seems the sameYou've gone but I'm still playing the waitinggameIf you should ever change your mindI'll be there just call my nameUntil then I'll be playing the waiting game

Take it fast, take is slow,
But it wont soften the blow
When its time to go
May be old, may be scared
But youll never be prepared
For that final blow

Better use your wits or youll lose your mind...
Theres a world to discover and youre running out of time
Like a roller coaster ride
Took you by surprise
Now youre burnin up inside

Better make it better, yeah eah
Better make it better,
Better make it better,
Times running out fast
Make it last

You can scream you can shout,
But when your time runs out
Deep inside youll know
May be rich, may be poor,
But when you knock on heavens door,
Well you have to go

Make the most of what youve got
cause its better than to not have anything at all.
Live each day as its your last
Or youll find the futures passed and youre left with nothing at all

Better make it better, yeah eah
Better make it better,
Better make it better,
Times running out fast
Make it last

Cherish every day each hour each and every single minute
Theres no second chance to turn when they start again living your life

Better make it better, yeah eah
Better make it better, oooh
Better make it better,
Times running out fast
Better make it better now
Better make it better
Make it last
Better make it better now
Better make it better now

Better make it better, yeah eah
Better make it better, oooh
Better make it better,
Times running out fast
Make it last

Better make it better now

Better make it better
Make it better now
Better make it better now
Better make it better now

Another strange awakening
Another memory on its way
Another night in an empty room
Another thrown away day
How long
Must I go on fooling myself?
In a world of make-believe
Precious words
Are all that I have left to prove?
That I've nothing more left to lose
Precious words won't bring you back to me
Precious words won't bring you back to me
Loneliness says much more
Than a thousand words ever said
Conversations pass me by
I'm left with silence instead
How long must I go on fooling myself?
In a world of make-believe
Precious words
Are all that I have left to prove?
That I've nothing more left to lose
Precious words won't bring you back to me
Precious words won't bring you back to me
You left my world empty
Now there's nothing to say
Precious words
Won't bring you back to me...
How long
Must I go on fooling myself?
In a world of make-believe
Precious words
Are all that I have left to prove?
That I've nothing more left to lose
Precious words won't bring you back to me
Precious words won't bring you back to me
You left my world empty
Now there's nothing to say
Precious words
Won't bring you back to me

Back to top
What can fill your heart till it breaks
What can fill your heart till it breaks
Make you dream when you're wide awake
What could fill your whole lifetime through
Though it doesn't belong to you

Whoever you are
Wherever you go
Will I meet you there
And how will I know

When you can't hear for listening
When you can't see a single thing
When you don't care what's happening
You already know

What's a feeling that can't be touched
What's a pleasure that hurts so much
Like a promise that you can't break
What can steal every breath you take

Whoever we are
Whenever we touch
Will love disappear
If we take too much

When you can't hear for listening
When you can't see a single thing
When you don't care what's happening
You already know

When the night doesn't let you sleep
When you can't find the words to speak
When this secret's too much to keep
You already know

And when love surrounds you
There'll be no reason to even explain

No reason to explain
What's a secret we can't keep
When a secret's too much to keep
You already know
You know when you know
You already know
When love disappears

You already know
Already know
You already know

Falling in to someone else's daydream
You'll wake up when you're prepared to learn
Can't steal yourself an imagination
Face the truth or watch your future burn,
Flying high as a bird in the sky for a while
Maybe makes you feel fine,
But it shows when you're low 'cos you know
That it's all in your mind.
Every trip that you take shocks your senses awake
But you can't turn back time,
You'll get by when you find it's no lie
That it's all in your mind.
Stepping out into this wide world for the first
time,
Catch your breath or you will be led astray.
Attitudes some low and cruel to fool you,
Mesmerized hypnotic eyes look your way...
Repeat Chorus
Flying high as a bird in the sky for a while
But it shows when you're low 'cos you know that
it's all in your mind...
It's all in your mind
Every trip that you take shocks your senses awake
You'll get by when you find it's no lie that it's all
in your mind,
All in your mind....

A thousand words can hide
Behind averted eyes
Emotionless
In a web of lies
Forbidden thoughts you keep
Awake you when you sleep
The truth is blind
To your cold deceit
Turning your face away from a truth you'll never
find
Behind this masquerade
Turning your back says much more than words
could ever hide
Behind this masquerade
You've gone too far
To stop hiding behind this masquerade
A force of evil reigns
As silence stakes its claim
Invisible
As a grieved heart prays
When innocence is lost
Your conscience pays the cost
No sacrifice
Will bring back the past
Playing for time you'll find tomorrow never
comes
Behind this masquerade
Living a lie you'll soon find what you've been
running from
Behind this masquerade
You've gone too far
To stop hiding behind this masquerade
You've gone too far
To stop living behind this masquerade
Baba dub ba dub baba dub ba etc...

Holding hands with summer
Gentle as a breeze
Fragrant as your petals
Cast their spell and leave

Someone was to blame
No one knew your name

Drifting into autumn
Brush away your tears
Shadows spread their sadness
Stole away her years

Someone was to blame
No one knew your name

(Icy cold as winter)
(Icy cold as winter)
(Icy cold as winter)

Chills your empty heart
Buried with the flowers
Frozen in the dark

Empty as a garden in the summertime
Captured by the falling rain
Now the playgrounds standing still are empty
No one else comes out to play
Warm spring that never came
I never even knew your name
Fill me with completeness
Fill me with your sweetness
Now the sun has gone
Everyone's gone home
No one else comes out to play

When explanations make no sense
When every answer's wrong
You're fighting with less confidence
The time has come to make or break
All expectations gone
Move on, don't hesitate
CHORUS
Breakout

Don't start to ask
And now you've found a way to make it last
You've got to find a way
Say what you want to say
Breakout

Tomorrow looks unsure
The situations never change
Don't leave your destinated trains
What are you waiting for?
The time has come to make or break
Breakout


Some people stop at nothing
CHORUS

Lay down the law
If you're searching for something
BRIDGE
Breakout and shout
Shout out for more
Breakout
Day in, day out

CHORUS X 3

(Repeat BRIDGE over final 2 CHORUSES

Words one said with tenderness
Broken promises take their toll
Have become meaningless
Now you're playing the fool Torn,
between torment and bliss
Beckoned by temptation's kiss
All you're dreams left unfulfilled
Leave you're ambitions standing still
make up mind while there's still time to turn around
You regret, won't forget what you've left behind
Fooled by a smile Fooled by a smile
You regret, won't forget what you've left behind
Lies that leave you cold inside
With a pain to hard to hide
Now you're playing the fool
Broken promises take their toll
Hide your face to save your shame
None but yourself to blame
Leave you're ambitions standing still
All you're dreams left unfulfilled
Make up mind while there's still time to turn around
Fooled by a smile
You regret, won't forget what you've left behind
Fooled by a smile
You regret, won't forget what you've left behind
You regret, won't forget what you've left behind
Fooled by a smile Fooled by a smile
You regret, won't forget what you've left behind
Fooled by a smile
You regret, won't forget what you've left behind Fooled by a smile Fooled by a smile
Fooled by a smile
You regret, won't forget what you've left behind
You regret, won't forget what you've left behind
Fooled by a smile
You regret, won't forget what you've left behind

Communion No one hears And poisoned lies no one shares Broken dreams a seething silence Silent screams When life's a crime Our time has come For some do shun Communion Tears and laughter share your fears Conversation heals the wounds that we'll make To ease the pain When life's a crime For some do shun Our time has come Communion We'll find a place In lost traditions a love worth giving Broken dreams a seething silence No one hears Silent screams And poisoned lies no one shares When life's a crime Our time has come For some do shun Communion We'll find a place for We'll find a place We'll find a place for Communion

The pain sets in
Love turns to hate
Fear lies and wait

Fever, fever
Your flesh begins to crawl
Night time takes it all
So you think you're moving on
Fever, fever

When you're choosing between the night
and the light of day
Your body's confused
There's nothing to lose

Fever, fever
Your flesh begins to crawl
Night time takes it all
So you think you're moving on
Fever, fever

Fever, fever
Your flesh begins to crawl
Night time takes it all
So you think you're moving on
Fever, fever

Pressure's gone and the pain sets in
Love turns to hate
Fear lies and wait

Your flesh begins to crawl
Night time takes it all
So you think you're moving on

Love turns to hate
Fear lies and wait
