Here I Go Again
03:30
|

I had this dream in darkness
Of Asian curves and colours
I lick a scant flavour
Of images of you
I cannot speak your language
But you converse in mine
Here I go again
Can't get you outta my head
Round and round again
You spin me off my feet
Here I go again
You got me in a trance
Turning once again
Can't get you outta my mind
My dreams do not languish
In the sea of illusion
Maximum frustration
In our communication
To break this barrier
The dancing of our minds
Why do you make me feel this way?
'cos here I go, here I go again
What can I do to make you stay?
'cos here I go, here I go again
Here I go again
Can't get you outta my head
Round and round again
You spin me off my feet
Here I go again
You got me in a trance
Turning once again
Can't get you outta my mind

Close the door, and step inside
Don't be shy, no need to hide
You are so close to me
Right where I need you
Moonlight, shines through the window
Late at night, you can't see the wind blow
You lie right next to me
Right where you want to be
ooooh...
I won't be here tomorrow
I'm sorry for your pain and sorrow
Who knows what the next day brings
Once last chance to dance and sing
Clouds of thought, drift through my mind
Diversions and delusions of every kind
All the memories you've given me
I'm twice the man I used to be
Sunrise, peers through the morning cloud
Another dawn, the world is loud
All the good times I given you
You're twice the woman that I once knew
ooooooh....
I won't be here tomorrow
I'm sorry for your pain and sorrow
Who knows what the next day brings
Once last chance to dance and sing
I won't be here tomorrow
I'm sorry for your pain and sorrow
Who knows what the new day'll bring
Once last chance to dance and sing

Nothing New
04:06
|

Ever so faithful
yet so hateful
Nothing new
Ever so thankful
yet so spiteful
nothing new
Bashed and battered
Cracked and shattered
Nothing new
Broken and tattered
Nothing mattered
'cept you
A mindless render
Beautiful, so tender
Nothing New
Fruitless endeavour
Failing forever
Nothing New
Bashed and battered
Cracked and shattered
Nothing new
Broken and tattered
Nothing mattered
'cept you
Confusion, commotion
Fucked up emotion
Nothing new
A Mind implosion
Misplaced devotion
Nothing new
Bashed and battered
Cracked and shattered
Nothing new
Broken and tattered
Nothing mattered
'cept you
Sweet sour depression
A personal recession
Nothing new
Out of this obsession
No more repression
Nothing new
Bashed and battered
Cracked and shattered
Nothing new
Broken and tattered
Nothing mattered
'cept you

What Do You Do?
04:07
|

If I knew, this is how it would be
I’d never, let them take a slice out of me
I never thought I’d feel so much pain
Don’t ever wanna go through that again
What do you do when your body fails you?
Who will help you to the end?
What do you do when your body fails you?
Praying that you’re on the mend
Waiting for an end
Never knew that I could feel so low
This pain is not something I could show
Never thought I would feel so much strain
I thought I’d never ever be the same again
What do you do when your body fails you?
Who will help you to the end?
What do you do when your body fails you?
Praying that you’re on the mend
Waiting for an end
I realised in a moment
It’s not my time
I realised in that moment
I’m doing fine
What do you do when your body fails you?
Who will help you to the end?
What do you do when your body fails you?
Praying that you’re on the mend
What do you do when your body fails you?
That’s the time you need a friend
Wishing for an end

Feed Us
03:44
|

I’ve seen the scenes, of starving kids all around
I’ve heard the tales, decaying bodies in a mound
I’ve see the love, lie bleeding on the ground
Feed us love
Feed us hope
Feed us with the seeds of life
Feed us with anything at all
Just feed us before we fall
I’ve heard their pleas, and their cries resound
I’ve seen the hate, in a foreign face that can’t be found
I’ve seen the fear of man, in time compound
Feed us love
Feed us hope
Feed us with the seeds of life
Feed us with anything at all
Just feed us before we fall
I’ve seen the guns, and their prisoners bound
I’ve heard the rebels, and our leaders expound
I’ve seen the heart, of man-unkind unwound
Feed us love
Feed us hope
Feed us with the seeds of life
Feed us with anything at all
Just feed us, just feed us
Feed us love
Feed us hope
Feed us with the seeds of life
Feed us with anything at all
Just feed us, just feed us
Before we fall
Just feed us, just feed us
Before we fall

Set Me Free
03:18
|
|||
Life gets real tough if you're rising from the dust
Feel the strain
The tolling of the bell, the sound of deaths knell
Feel the pain
Just can't get enough of that bitter sweet stuff
Such a shame
Just one more drag of that psychotropic fag
No reclaim
Set me free
From the need
Set me free
From the weed
Set me free
from the greed
Set me free
From the weed
Tainted blood cells cast their dizzy spell
Inside your vains
Locked inside your cell, a personal living hell
Inside your brain
Just can't get enough of that bitter sweet stuff
Such a shame
Just one more drag of that psychotropic fag
No reclaim
Set me free
From the need
Set me free
From the weed
Set me free
from the greed
Set me free
From the weed
Reeking from the smell of those reefer cartels
No disclaim
The game gets rough when they call your bluff
There's no blame
Just can't get enough of that bitter sweet stuff
Such a shame
Just one more drag of that psychotropic fag
No reclaim
Set me free
From the need
Set me free
From the weed
Set me free
from the greed
Set me free
From the weed

Ever Lasting
04:15
|

Business greed & avarice
Not in it for the long haul
Disregarded like Lazarus
Our future's in their crystal ball
Self-serving and selfishness
Insincere, they've got it all
Corporate-based negligence
Gospel according to St Paul
Everlasting, is never lasting
Ambitious schemes
Eeverlasting, is never lasting
Deluded regimes
Influence, manipulate
City hall, their curtain call
Contracts don't stipulate
Balls against the wall 'til you fall
Deception, lies, deceit
Shopping malls and urban sprawl
It all happens on Wall street
Corporate towers stand tall
Everlasting, is never lasting
Ambitious schemes
Everlasting, is never lasting
Deluded regimes
Everlasting, is never lasting
Misguided themes
Everlasting, is never lasting
Fairytale dreams
Jobs, lives and hopes are cut
Dole queues add some more
Discarded like cigarette butts
Discharged through the back door
Seven more years of bad luck
Broken mirror on the wall
Lost, defeated and dumbstruck
Cued up behind the eight ball
Everlasting, is never lasting
Ambitious schemes
Everlasting, is never lasting
Deluded regimes
Everlasting, is never lasting
Misguided themes
Everlasting, is never lasting
Fairytale dreams
