• Under the Milky Way
  • (The Church cover)

    Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty
    Sound of their breath fades with the lights
    I think about the loveless fascination
    Under the Milky Way tonight
    Lower the curtain down on Memphis
    Lower the curtain down alright
    I got no time for private consultation
    Under the Milky Way tonight

    Wish I knew what you were looking for
    Might have known what you would find

    And it's something quite peculiar
    Something shimmering and white
    Leads you here despite your destination
    Under the Milky Way tonight
  • I Like You
  • Something in you caused me to
    Take a new tact with you
    You were going through something
    I had just about scraped through
    Why do you think I let you get away
    With the things you say to me?

    Could it be I like you?
    It's so shameful of me
    I like you

    No one I ever knew
    Or have spoken to resembles you
    This is good or bad
    All depending on my general mood
    Why do you think I let you get away
    With all the things you say to me?

    Could it be I like you?
    It's so shameful of me
    I like you

    Magistrates who spend their lives
    Hiding their mistakes
    They look at you and I
    And envy makes them cry
    Envy makes them cry

    Forces of containment
    They shove their fat faces into mine
    You and I just smile
    Because we're thinking the same lines
    Why do you think I let you get away
    With all the things you say to me?

    Could it be I like you?
    It's so shameful of me
    I like you

    You're not right in the head
    And nor am I and this is why
    You're not right in the head
    And nor am I and this is why

    This is why I like you, I like you, I like you
  • Take On Me
  • We're talking away
    I don't know what I'm to say
    I'll say it anyway
    Today's another day to find you
    Shying away
    I'll be coming for your love, okay?

    Take on me (take on me)
    Take me on (take on me)
    I'll be gone
    In a day or two

    So needless to say
    Of odds and ends
    But I'll be stumbling away
    Slowly learning that life is okay
    Say after me
    It's no better to be safe than sorry

    Oh, things that you say
    Is it a life or just to play my worries away
    You're all the things I've got to remember
    You're shying away
    I'll be coming for you anyway

    Take on me (take on me)
    Take me on (take on me)
    I'll be gone
    In a day
  • Catch Me I'm Falling
  • I lay down to rest my head
    My soul to keep the night I dread
    It's no dream
    Slumber comes as darkness falls
    And shadows dance across my walls
    It's no dream

    Well I never sleep alone
    (Wake up don't sleep)
    My dreams become so real to me
    (Wake up don't sleep)
    While the night is young

    Catch me I'm falling
    Down again
    I know it's a dream but
    Just the same

    There's a face before my eyes
    Are closed but I can recognize
    The danger there
    Slumber comes and darkness falls
    And shadows dance across my walls
    It's no dream

    Well I never sleep alone
    My dreams become so real to me
    I wake up, don't sleep
    While the night is young

    Catch me I'm falling
    Down again
    I know it's a dream but
    Just the same
  • Space Age Love Song
  • I saw your eyes
    And you made me smile
    For a little while
    I was falling in love

    I saw your eyes
    And you touched my mind
    And though it took a while
    I was falling in love

    I saw your eyes
    And you made me cry
    And for a little while
    I was falling in love
  • Lovesong
  • Whenever I'm alone with you
    You make me feel like I am home again
    Whenever I'm alone with you
    You make me feel like I am whole again

    Whenever I'm alone with you
    You make me feel like I am young again
    Whenever I'm alone with you
    You make me feel like I am fun again

    However far away
    I will always love you
    However long I stay
    I will always love you
    Whatever words I say
    I will always love you

    (Fly me to the moon)

    Whenever I'm alone
    With you
    You make me feel like I am free again
    Whenever I'm alone
    With you
    You make me feel like I am clean again

    However far away
    I will always love you
    However long I stay
    I will always love you
    Whatever words I say
    I will always love you

    I will always love you
  • Romeo and Juliet
  • A lovestruck Romeo
    Sings the streets a serenade
    Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
    Finds the streetlight
    Steps out of the shade
    Says something like
    You and me, babe, how about it?

    Juliet says
    Hey it's Romeo
    You nearly gimme a heart attack
    He's underneath the window
    She's singing
    Hey la my boyfriend's back
    You shoudn't come around here singing up at people like that
    Anyway what you gonna do about it?

    Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
    And I bet when you exploded in my heart
    And I forget I forget the movie song
    When you gonna realize
    It was just that the time was wrong?

    Come up on different streets
    They both were streets of shame
    Both dirty, both mean
    Yes, and the dream was just the same
    And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
    How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

    Well you can fall for chains of silver
    You can fall for chains of gold
    You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
    You promised me everything
    You promised me thick and thin
    Now you just say
    Oh, Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him

    Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
    You said, I love you like the stars above
    I'll love you till I die
    There's a place for us
    You know the movie song
    When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?

    I can't do the talk like the talk on the TV
    And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
    I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you
    I can't do anything except be in love with you

    And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
    All I do is keep the beat and the bad company
    All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
    Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time

    And a lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
    Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
    Finds a convenient streetlight
    Steps out of the shade
    Says something like
    You and me, babe, how about it?
  • Ceremony
  • This is why events unnerve me
    They find it all, a different story
    Notice whom for wheels are turning
    Turn again and turn towards this time
    All she ask's the strength to hold me
    Then again the same old story
    Word will travel, oh so quickly
    Travel first and lean towards this time

    I'll break them down, no mercy shown
    Heaven knows, it's got to be this time

    Watching her, these things she said
    The times she cried
    Too frail to wake this time

    I'll break them down, no mercy shown
    Heaven knows, it's got to be this time

    Avenues all lined with trees
    Picture me and then you start watching
    Watching forever, forever
    Watching love grow, forever
    Letting me know, forever
  • Let the Right One Slip In
  • Let the right one in
    Let the old dreams die
    Let the wrong ones go
    They cannot
    They cannot
    They cannot do what you want them to

    Let the right one in
    Let the old dreams die
    Let the wrong ones go
    They do not
    They do not
    They do not see what you want them to

    Let the right one in
    Let the old things fade
    Put the tricks and schemes (for good) away

    I will advise
    Until my mouth dries
    I will advise you to...

    Let the right one slip in
    Slippin', slip in

    And when at last it does
    I'd say you were within your rights to bite
    The right one and say, "What kept you so long?"

  • Untangled Love
  • Well they say that now's the time to start
    And blessed are the young at heart
    She's just here to look the part
    In the fruit of all this labor land
    On Friday nights and football stands
    Been fumbled by so many hands

    I've been looking for untangled love

    I always hoped I'd see the light
    Break the bad luck in my life
    Untangled love, yeah
    I can see it in your eyes
    Untangled love

    It's been 21 years since I left home
    I'm still looking for a place to call my own

    Untangled love, yeah
    I can see it in your eyes
    Untangled love, true

    Stay close, my love
    This ain't right
    Look out, trouble
    We've had enough
    Been looking for untangled love

    Untangled love
    You keep me by surprise

  • In Your Eyes
  • Love
    I get so lost sometimes
    Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
    When I want to run away
    I drive off in my car
    But whichever way I go
    I come back to the place you are

    All my instincts, they return
    And the grand façade, so soon will burn
    Without a noise, without my pride
    I reach out from the inside

    In your eyes
    The light, the heat
    (In your eyes) I am complete
    (In your eyes) I see the doorway
    (In your eyes) To a thousand churches
    (In your eyes) The resolution
    (In your eyes) Of all the fruitless searches
    (In your eyes) Oh, I see the light and the heat
    Oh, I want to be that complete
    I want to touch the light
    The heat I see in your eyes

    Love, I don't like to see so much pain
    So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
    I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
    I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

    And all my instincts, they return
    And the grand façade, so soon will burn
    Without a noise, without my pride
    I reach out from the inside

    Still enough time to figure out
    How to chase my blues away

    And the daylight has no air

    Friday night running to Sunday on my knees

    A little girl with Spanish eyes
    When I saw her in a pram they pushed her by
    Oh, my how you've grown
    Well it's been, it's been
    A little while

    Slow down my beating heart
    Man dreams one day to fly
    A man takes a rocket ship into the skies
    He lives on a star that's dying in the night
    And follows in the trail, the scatter of light
    Turn it on, turn it on, turn me on

    Slow down my beating heart
    Slowly, slowly, love

    I must have been asleep for days
    And moving lips to breathe her name

    That stole the only girl I loved and drowned her deep inside of me

    You, soft and only
    You, lost and lonely
    You, just like heaven

    Every now and then I get a little bit lonely
    And you're never coming 'round
    Turn around
    Every now and then I get a little bit tired
    Of listening to the sound of my tears
    Turn around

    That the best of all the years have gone by
    Turn around
    Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
    And then I see the look in your eyes

    Turn around, bright eyes

    A total eclipse of the heart
    Once upon a time there was light in my life
    But now there's only love in the dark
    Nothing I can say
    A total eclipse of the heart

    Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
    Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
    Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
    And dance me to the end of love
    Please dance me to the end of love

    Oh, let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
    Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
    Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
    And dance me to the end of love
    Please dance me to the end of love

    Dance me to the wedding now
    Dance me on and on
    And dance me very tenderly
    Dance me very long
    We're both of us
    Beneath our love and both of us above
    And dance me to the end of love
    Won't you dance me
    To the end of love
  • You To Me Are Everything
  • (by request)

    I would take the stars out of the sky for you
    Stop the rain from falling if you asked me to
    I'd do anything for you
    Your wish is my command

    I could move a mountain when your hand is in my hand
    Words cannot express how much you mean to me
    There must be some other way to make you see
    If it takes my heart and soul
    You know I'd pay the price
    Everything that I possess I'd gladly sacrifice

    Oh, you to me are everything
    The sweetest song that I could sing
    Oh baby, oh baby
    To you I guess I'm just a clown
    Who picks you up each time you're down
    Oh baby, oh baby
    You give me just a taste of love
    To build my hopes upon
    You know you got the power girl
    To keep me holding on
    So now you've got the best of me
    Come on and take the rest of me
    Oh baby

    Though you're close to me
    We seem so far apart
    Maybe given time you'll have a change of heart
    If it takes forever
    Girl, then I'm prepared to wait
    The day you give your love to me won't be a day too late

  • A Man and A Woman
  • Little sister, don't you worry about a thing today
    Take the heat from the sun
    Little sister, I know that everything is not okay
    But you're like honey on my tongue

    True love never can be rent
    But only true love can keep beauty innocent

    Of losing love to find romance
    In the mysterious distance
    Between a man and a woman
    No, I could never take a chance
    'Cos I could never understand
    The mysterious distance
    Between a man and a woman

    You can run from love
    And if it's really love it will find you
    Catch you by the heel
    But you can't be numb for love
    The only pain is to feel nothing at all
    How can I hurt when I'm holding you?

    I could never take a chance
    Of losing love to find romance
    In the mysterious distance
    Between a man and a woman
    And you're the one, there's no one else
    It makes me want to lose myself
    In the mysterious distance
    Between a man and a woman

    Brown-eyed girl across the street
    On Rue Saint Divine
    I thought this is the one for me
    But she was already mine
    You were already mine

    Little sister
    I've been sleeping in the street again
    Like a stray dog
    Little sister
    I've been trying to feel complete again
    But you're gone and so is God

    The soul needs beauty for a soulmate
    When the soul wants
    The soul waits

    I could never take a chance
    Of losing love to find romance
    In the mysterious distance
    Between a man and a woman
    Forever, faith and sex and fear
    And all the things that keep us here
    In the mysterious distance
    Between a man and a woman
