I Began
03:35
|
|||
I began
I put plan ahead of force
Now I'm the princess in the palace
Understand
No demands
No advance
Just the hands I've used for everything and
The will to stand
Much more than I ever can say I hoped for
Time isn't written, time doesn't fall
Down like sand
Don't lose faith
Did you follow someone?
Cause ten years from here
When the meanings all gone
You began
And that's all that you have left
You can't even see the goal
You long gone and passed it along
No demands
No advance
(Just) the advice that you can
Understand
Once you taste
The sweet nectar there's no going back
To the time where you once began
How far you ran
And I guess I'm just too tired
So, put your glass half-full aside
Cos I've gotten so close to this before
And I don't believe it
Am I really here at last
Or is there nothing to see
In the fantasy
Where I began
Where I am
Understand
Understand how it feels
No demands, no
No advance, just the hands I've used for
Everything I've made
The will to stand
And carry on
And keep it on
Carry it on
Keep it on and...

We Go Lightly
04:50
|
|||
We go lightly, shine on
We shine brightly, divine one, oh
We're divine and we're glowing
We are glowing and lightly on
We go lightly, shine on
We shine brightly, divine one
We're divine and we're glowing on
We are glowing and lightly on
But don't make the mistakes that I have made
Believe in yourself and you will dig your own grave
In the bed that you're making
And we go lightly, shine on and on
Every face seems long and drawn
And if they seem out of sorts
Maybe cause, they've had enough, but they keep on
And if they keep on long beyond their will
They will collapse in a heap and die wanting
And we go lightly, shine on
And it's too late for me
But you know you know you can
Cruise, out of here on a truth
So set yourself free and
Don't look back, no
There's so much I can't explain
Let bygones be gone
Make no mistake I can't re-contemplate
I have been forsaken enough to have no faith
And you go fighting before it's over
You're sure you're in the zone
Cause your confidence is all you have
It'll be gone the longer you last
And we go lightly, shine on
And we go we go lightly, shine on
It's fine when you're going in
You sing like you're famous
But here down in the silence
And you gave it all away
There's just some things you can't
Ever learn from observance
So get in the thick of this biz
And hope you'll roll along
And we go lightly, shine on and on
And we go lightly, shine on and on

Do What You Want
04:03
|
|||
It's been a week or a month or a year and I
Can't recall what we were fighting about, cause you
wanted to leave all your troubles behind and you
said that you'd find yourself somewhere to live and I'm sure
I'd be sad for a week or a month or a year but I'd
Probably learn to get over those
feelings as soon as I found someone else to replace you but
That will not happen so I will just
Tell you to go, pack your bags, get your things and move on
With your life and just leave me to mine and I won't
Sit around, only thinking of you, only dreaming of you no I'm
Not gonna lose, so just
Do what you want, it don't matter to me
And the moment you leave you'll be gone (right outta there)
Do what you want, it don't matter to me
You can go and be free if you want (get into gear)
Free, yours
I still remember the first time we met, and the
way that you swept all the hair from your face and the
clothes that you'd wear and your cute vacant stare when no
words would be spoken for moments and then you would
Laugh and your eyes would meet mine and the sides of your smile
would relax and we'd snap out of that and
return to our chat and i'd just want to last for a
hundred more years so we'd have so much time to spend
living together and sharing the things that we'd
usually do all alone by ourselves but now
those days are passed and I don't want to last but I
Have to and that's why I'm telling that you can
Do what you want, it don't matter to me
I had a dream that we stayed as a team and we
Loved and we lived love indefinitely and we
Never broke up, we did not have enough, we did
Not say I hate you and wish that I never had met
you at all, all those years ago when it sure
Seemed like fate had connected the dots and
conspired to get us together forever, for all of our lives
till the end of our time, and it
Sure seemed like fate never meant us to say that we
Wanted to never see each others face again
Sure seemed like fate never thought that I'd swallow
Enough of these pills that I never again would say
Do what you want, it don't matter to me
Cos the moment you leave I'll be gone
Do what you want, it don't matter to me
When you go, I will cease, I'll succumb
Do what you want, it don't matter to me
And the moment you leave I'll be gone
Do what you want, it don't matter to me
You can go, and be free if you want

Unknown Kid
04:33
|
|||
Unknown kid, she's an unknown kid
Taking a chance on an unknown kid
Unknown kid, she's an unknown kid
Taking a chance on an unknown kid
I say "more!" even when I'm carefree
Taking a chance on an unknown kid
They take more, and I hope I'm not set free
Taking a chance on an unknown kid
You've got this business down, gotta figure it out now
Unknown kid, the unknown kid
You, gotta figure out
Unknown kid, she's an unknown kid
I say look, and you turn just as quickly
Taking a chance on an unknown kid
And now, you can sit and you'll wait in line
Unknown kid, she's an unknown kid
Ooh, you've gotta figure out
Figure it out now, come on figure out now
You, gotta figure out
Figure it out now
Entirely a hustle designed just
to break down the
Unknown kids, you're an unknown kid
and until it completes you and tosses you right out
you are alone
you must convince them to take a chance on the unknown kid
You're an unknown kid
Just an unknown kid
One unknown kid
Yeah
Unknown kid, you're an unknown kid
Taking a chance yeah, taking it all
I'd say worse than success with the enemy is
Unknown kid, staying an unknown kid
And your known, do you like how they plant you out?
Unknown kid, you're the best of all
Best of all, you're the best of all
No ones greater, you're the best known kid
Best of all, you're the best of all
Taking a chance on the unknown kid
Unknown kid

Somebody Else
04:05
|
|||
Maybe there's something wrong
Maybe there's someone to tell
Maybe that's all been a dream
Lasting too long
Maybe it's all in the past
And it's somebody else
Maybe it's not going to last
Or it's all about to return
Get on the phone, do
And absorb the mystery
And it's over fast
Even with Somebody Else
And it's Somebody Else, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Maybe there's someone to ask
Maybe it's all in the past
Maybe there's somebody else
And that's fine too
Have this discussion again
I like how you're taking me through it
In the mid-summer afternoon
On the avenue, ooh
In the summer sun, ooh
Maybe there's somebody else
Maybe it's done, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Goodbyes that we create
Realize too late
And here there's somebody new, ooh ooh
'till it's gone by the end
'till there's somebody new
We saw somebody else
In a lot money, that's cool
Why don't you come for the rest
If that's just what you do
We can sit here and rest
And even find it funny now
Get on the phone, do
And absorb the mystery
And it's over fast
Even with Somebody Else
It's Somebody Else, ooh ooh ooh ooh

Going Back
04:10
|
|||
I'm going back to the place that I once called home it was a
Long, long time ago now
I'm going back to the place where I used to roam
I gotta go now I've been shown how
It was a life
That is over
It isn't fine
Now I'm older
But it's so tiring
That I hold on
And I just see the past in everything
Cos I just can't let go of anything
All the people I see grow up
They walk past and remain there
I don't think that I could compete with them
Cause I don't I have the weight to take my share
I'm going back to the place where I once was young it was a
Decade or two ago
I'm gonna put on my shades with the tint of rose
To make my past mistakes dissolve
And I'll stay right here forever cause I
Can't see how it's not better
It was a life
That isn't over
It's in my mind
And I've told ya
That it's so tiring
Now that I hold on
Cos I just see the past in everything
And I just can't let go of anything
Yeah I'm sure, one day I'll look back now
And I'll love everything I recall
Or maybe I'll want to forget, cause
It still could get worse
And the past, is all I can really call home
Where I used to hope
And I still see the past in everything
Cos I just can't let go of anything
Think I've seen enough of the present
To know I prefer what I used to have
Where I separate the good from bad
I'm going back to the place that I once called home it was a
Long, long time ago
I'm going back to the place where I used to roam
Just leave me and my past alone
It was a life
That is over
It isn't fine
Now I'm older
But it's so tiring
That I hold on
And I just see the past in everything
Cos I just can't let go of anything
Tell me why I gotta grow up
Tell me what's wrong with yesterdays
And I'll be in my mind where it's good
And you keep your life where you fucked up
Your yesterdays
Your yesterdays
Your yesterdays
Your yesterdays

Always Happened This Way
04:26
|
|||
Always happened this way
One and the same, hire 'em then choose em
I ain't scared, no, that's what I'm used to
We're, hot on our stage
I'm fine now, they've made their decision
Eager to please, I'd like to please them
Roll in the ditch, fulfil their vision
Know what I'm sayin'? Ohh
Always happened this way in time
Then and today, beginning and final
Gotta get used to this vision of mine
That's my jam
I'm not a fool, don't misinterpret
I've just gotta move, don't stand in my circuit
Get with my vibe? Just come and observe it
Any old time
When you fail, when you're flung out
We can sail, there's no doubt about
I can see you, on the pier
Nothing's out of limit, or impossible
Always happened this way
You revealed, how you envisioned
Signed and sealed, no opposition
And then they found you running with scissors
Well, what I did say
I can't look, wilder and free-er
Nothing much, now that I've seen ya
I guess you'll just bite into fear
That's your way, yeah
Always happened this way
It's just become, so hard to thrill
And fans long for the first film
Under the fountain of crimson and sea salt
One more hit in time
When it's your last day on earth, then you'll know
It's always happened this way

Solitary
05:23
|
|||
She looked out
Saw some life
She couldn't shout
Not her wife
She saw sun
She felt warmth
She couldn't run
She feared the storm
Now she's seen there's more to every day
And it goes far as I can see
She doesn't want to go back down
And I'm quite sure that she'll be free
If she believed enough to leave
She'd wear her heart out on her sleeve
But once again, until that day
She'll be in solitary
She stands tall
To herself
In the reflection
In her hell
She feels strong
She doesn't want
She just lives
Until it's done
Now she's seen there's more to every week
And she's not feeling very weak
She doesn't want to change her style
So she just stays here for a while
She stays here long through all the bad
The good, the worst of times she's had
She'll stay here long until that day
When she leaves solitary
She loves songs
She sings along
She plays guitar
In the shower
She answers fans
She's never had
She longs to be
A little bit real
Now she's seen there's more to every year
But she's still hanging around here
She doesn't know how she will change
So she just stays here one more day
She saves some money for the rain
Then it's all gone, she saves again
And saves her money 'till that day
She can leave solitary
She knows love
In her dreams
She spends nights
Dreams a wife
Who loves back
She can't have
Dreams deceive
So she sleeps
Now she's seen there's more to every day
And it goes far as I can see
She doesn't want to go back down
And I'm quite sure that she'll be free
If she believed enough to leave
She'd wear her heart out on her sleeve
But once again, until that day
She'll be in solitary

All Of Her Life
04:01
|
|||
For all of her life she's known within there's a woman
Easier to know she is there, than it
Is for her heart to start liberating that woman
Cause she still don't exist
And I don't think she could
For 35 long years
She's had all the right to be
And if one day she, looks into in herself
She might just one day believe
It's been real uncomfortable
And she hoped that this wouldn't last this long
If she just, holds on one more year she'll see
Hope can dream and dreams can be real
But how long can she go
Without, her dreams coming true
Falling through
And all of her life she's known within there's a woman
And she can't keep on living a lie
So, she's true to herself and that's the way that she's living
And it makes things no better
Cause they couldn't get worse
For more than one lifetime
She has dreamed of many more
And it don't help, but it's what she does
And half the time she fades it out
Fades it out
Fades it out
Fades it out
And everyone she's known
Has known she needs help, yeah
But do they really know her?
And could they help get on her way?
Or is it just another dream she'll get her hopes up for
Requiring a fee, that she can't afford
Any day now
Oh, all of her life she's known within there's a woman
And it don't get too easy with time
Cause passing the truth has been confirmed with a vision
Where she lives out no lies
For the rest of her life
And for 35 more years
She'll have all the right to be
And if one day she looks deep within
Then she might find just one day, that there's strength to believe
It's real uncomfortable
And she hoped that this wouldn't last this long
If she just holds on for one more year
she we will see hope can dream and dreams can be real

Unstoppable
05:15
|
|||
We could be, could be unstoppable
Unstoppable, could be unstoppable
We could be, could be unstoppable
We could be so unstoppable
We could be, could be, unstoppable
Be unstoppable
Could be unstoppable
This is a time for equal
Or better our past success in sequel
In time you'll see cycling
Your past mistakes
Were not mistaken at all
And now you seem cutting-edge
And so far ahead
Of the trends then
There is no time like there is now
To look at what's won and
Figure it out
In time your philosophy
Will prove to be
A pretty solid approach
And now you dream what you believed
Was so meant to be
Now it's re-al
This is a time for equal
Or better your past success in sequel
In time you'll learn to trust yourself
Trust someone else
When all those dreams became true
And only the fortunate
Can know what it takes
And how good it feels
Ooh Ahh
Time has a pair of hands
They won't help you out
You have to make time for yourself
Cause one day you won't have
Any time left
For dreams to come true
