High
Beautiful dawn - lights up the shore for
me.
There is nothing else in the world,
I'd rather wake up and see (with
you).
Beautiful dawn - I'm just chasing time again.
Thought I would die a
lonely man, in endless night.
But now I'm high; running wild among all the
stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.
Beautiful
dawn - melt with the stars again.
Do you remember the day when my journey
began?
Will you remember the end (of time)?
Beautiful dawn - You're just
blowing my mind again.
Thought I was born to endless night, until you
shine.
High; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard
to believe you remember me.
Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and
older?
Promise me tomorrow starts with you,
Getting high; running wild
among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me
You're Beautiful
My life is brilliant.
My life
is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She
smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no
sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful. You're
beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded
place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with
you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see
from my face that I was,
Flying high, [ - video/radio edited
version]
Fucking high, [ - CD version]
And I don't think that
I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the
end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's
true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to
do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're
beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a
smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's
time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.
Wise Men
She said to me, "Go steady on me.
Won't
you tell me what the Wise Men said?
When they came down from
Heaven,
Smoked nine 'til seven,
All the shit that they could find,
But
they couldn't escape from you,
Couldn't be free of you,
And now they know
there's no way out,
And they're really sorry now for what they've
done,
They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun."
Look
who's alone now,
It's not me. It's not me.
Those three Wise
Men,
They've got a semi by the sea.
Got to ask yourself the
question,
Where are you now?
Really sorry now,
They weren't to
know.
They got caught up in your talent show,
With you pernickety little
bastards in your fancy dress,
Who just judge each other and try to
impress,
But they couldn't escape from you,
Couldn't be free of
you,
And now they know there's no way out,
And they're really sorry now
for what they've done,
They were three Wise Men just trying to have some
fun.
Look who's alone now,
It's not me. It's not me.
Those three
Wise Men,
They've got a semi by the sea.
Got to ask yourself the
question,
Where are you now?
Goodbye My Lover
Did I disappoint you or let you
down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the
end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So
I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It
may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only
care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and
all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded
by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your hand.
Shared your dreams and
shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to
you.
[x2]
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have
been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I am a dreamer and when i
wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move
on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've
seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father
of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you
know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I
swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.
[x2]
Goodbye
my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the
one for me.
And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm
asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your
feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the
one.
You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so
hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so
hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
Tears And Rain
How I wish I could surrender my
soul;
Shed the clothes that become my skin;
See the liar that burns within
my needing.
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold.
How I wish I had
screamed out loud,
Instead I've found no meaning.
I guess it's time I
run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just
keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard
what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
It's more than just words: it's
just tears and rain.
How I wish I could walk through the doors of my
mind;
Hold memory close at hand,
Help me understand the years.
How I
wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
How I wish I would save my
soul.
I'm so cold from fear.
I guess it's time I run far, far away;
find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from
trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say,
but I'm not here for trouble.
Far, far away; find comfort in pain.
All
pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
It's more than just
words: it's just tears and rain.
Tears and Rain.
Tears and
Rain.
Far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it
just keeps me from trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and
rain.
Out Of My Mind
Judging by the look on the
organ-grinder,
He'll judge me by the fact that my face don't fit.
It's
touching that the monkey sits on my shoulder.
He's waiting for the day when
he gets me,
But I don't need no alibi - I'm a puppet on a string.
I just
need this stage to be seen.
We all need a pantomime to remind us what is
real.
Hold my eye and know what it means.
I'm out of my
mind.
Judging by the look on the organ-grinder,

He's waiting for the day when he gets me,
But I won't be your
concubine - I'm a puppet not a whore.
I just need this stage to be
seen.
Will you be a friend of mine to remind me what is real?
Hold my
heart and see that it bleeds.
I'm out of my mind.
So Long, Jimmy
I just can't believe that it's
over.
We were chilling out on the sofa,
Digging how the guitar goes,
In
a song that no one knows.
Did you lick that line yourself,
Or did the
voodoo magic help?
Does everyone have a different take?
Do you seem real
but I seem fake?
Does everyone get hypnotized by your fire?
So long,
Jimmy, so long.
Though you only stayed a moment,
We all know that you're
the one. Singing,
So long, Jimmy, so long.
Sure we're glad for the
experience,
We miss you now you've gone.
We're just swimming in your soul
'cause,
We all wish we wrote this song.
Life goes on.
I'm just so
relieved that it's over.
We were hanging out going nowhere,
Digging how
the guitar goes,
In a song that no one knows.
Did you burn that bridge
yourself,
Or did the voodoo magic help?
Does everyone have a different
take?
Are you just cool and I'm just baked?
Does everyone get mesmerized
by your fire?
So long, Jimmy, so long.
Though you only stayed a
moment,
We all know that you're the one. Singing,
So long, Jimmy, so
long.
Sure we're glad for the experience,
We miss you now you've
gone.
We're just swimming in your soul 'cause,
We all wish we wrote this
song.
Life goes on.
Billy
Billy's leaving today (don't know where he's
going).
Holds his head in disgrace (he can't escape the truth).
He knows
the price that he's paid.
He admits that it's too late to admit that he's
afraid.
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
The damage is done.
The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are closed but he's always
open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.
Billy's leaving today
(don't know where he's going).
He's got lines on his face (they tell the
story of his pain).
He accepts it's his fate.
He admits it took too long
to admit that he was wrong.
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul
mate.
The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are
closed but he's always open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh
Billy.
Once he was a lover sleeping with another.
Now he's just known
as a cheat.
And he wish he'd had a mirror; looked a little clearer.
Seen
into the eyes of the weak.
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul
mate.
The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are
closed but he's always open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.
Cry
I have seen peace. I have seen pain,
Resting
on the shoulders of your name.
Do you see the truth through all their
lies?
Do you see the world through troubled eyes?
And if you want to talk
about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a
friend.
I have seen birth. I have seen death.
Lived to see a lover's
final breath.
Do you see my guilt? Should I feel a fright?
Is the fire of
hesitation burning bright?
And if you want to talk about it once again,
On
you I depend. I'll cry on your shoulder.
You're a friend.
You and I
have lived through many things.
I'll hold on to your heart.
I wouldn't cry
for anything,
But don't go tearing your life apart.
I have seen fear.
I have seen faith.
Seen the look of anger on your face.
And if you want to
talk about what will be,
Come and sit with me, and cry on my shoulder,
I'm
a friend.
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor
and cry on my shoulder,
Once again.
Cry on my shoulder,
I'm a
friend.
No Bravery
There are children standing here,
Arms
outstretched into the sky,
Tears drying on their face.
He has been
here.
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
Fathers lost without a trace.
A
nation blind to their disgrace,
Since he's been here.
And I see no
bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
Houses
burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in
despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's
another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has
been here.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes
anymore.
Only sadness.
There are children standing here,
Arms
outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been
here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and
raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.
And I
see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
Sugar-Coated
I'm on a bus. I'm in a rush.
I would
catch a cab, but I'm not that fussed.
Another day. Another dime.
I know
some might say, that I'm wasting time.
And then at night, another
fight,
And I don't know what it means but I'd never cause a scene.
I'm
gonna make today sugar-coated.
I'm gonna get so high I'm lying here on the
floor.
It's time these shoes of mine were fully loaded.
It's time to sit
back and smile.
I've had a smoke and it's been a while.
It's been a
while.
Hello dawn. It's good to be.
Did I pay for the girl lying next
to me?
I had a love, but little luck.
I don't bleed any more 'cause my
heart's been crushed.
And now I'm free - lucky me.
Yeah my girlfriend was
a bore, she don't love me anymore.
I'm gonna make today
sugar-coated.
I'm gonna get so high I'm lying here on the floor.
It's time
these shoes of mine were fully loaded.
It's time to sit back and
smile.
I've had a smoke and it's been a while.
It's been a while.
A
little hush. A little rush.
I guess now we'll see, if I'm big
enough.
Finally it's only me.
Things will never be the same. There's no
living life again.
I'm gonna make today sugar-coated.
I'm gonna get so
high I'm lying here on the floor.
It's time these shoes of mine were fully
loaded.
It's time to sit back and smile.
I've had a smoke and it's been a
while.
It's been a while.

Simona
You're getting older
Your journey's been etched
On your
skin
Simona
Wish I had known that
What seemed so strong
Has been
and gone
I would call you up every saturday night
And we'd both stay
out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time
goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973
Singing, "Here
we go again"
Simona
Wish I was sober
So I could see clearly
now
The rain has gone
Simona
I guess it's over
My memory plays
our tune
The same old song
I would call you up every saturday night
And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go
again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with
you
In 1973
Singing, "Here we go again"
I would call you up every
saturday night
And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
And we sang,
"Here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club
with you
In 1973
Singing, "Here we go again"
I would call you up
every saturday night
And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
And we
sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a
club with you
In 1973
Singing, "Here we go again"

goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
