Baby, you've been going so crazy
Lately, nothing seems to be going right
Solo, why do you have to get so low
You're so? You've been waiting in the Sun too long
But if you sing, sing
Sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing
Colder, crying over your shoulder
Hold her, and tell her everythings gonna be fine
Surely, you've been going too early
Hurry, cause no one's gonna be stopped
But if you sing, sing
Sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing
Baby, there's something going on today
But I say nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing, nothing
Cause no one's gonna be stopped

Everything is open
Nothing is set in stone
Rivers turn to ocean
Oceans tide you home
Home is where the heart is
But your heart had to roam
Drifting over bridges
Never to return
Watching bridges burn
(chorus)
You're driftwood floating underwater
Breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces
Just driftwood hollow and of no use
Waterfalls will find you, bind you,
Grind you
Nobody is an island
Everyone has to go
Pillars turn to butter
Butterflying low
Low is where your heart is
But your heart has to go
Drifting under bridges
Never with the flow
And you really didn't think it would happen
But it really is the end of the line
So i'm sorry that you turned to driftwood
But you've been drifting for a long, long time
Everywhere there's trouble
Nowhere's safe to go
Pushes turn to shovels
Shoveling the snow
Frozen you have chosen
The path you wish to go
Drifting now forever
And forever more
Until you reach your shore
You're driftwood floating underwater
Breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces
Just driftwood hollow and of no use
Waterfalls will find you, bind you, grind you
And you really didn't think it would happen
But it really is the end of the line
So i'm sorry that you turned to driftwood
But you've been drifting for a long, long time
You've been drifting for a long, long time
You've been drifting for a long, long
Drifting for a long, long time

Every day I wake up and it's Sunday
Whatever's in my eye won't go away
The Radio is playing all the usual
And what's a Wonderwall anyway?
Because my inside is outside
My right side's on the left side
Cause I'm writing to reach you now but
I might never reach you
Only want to teach you
About you
But that's not you
It's good to know that you are home for Christmas
It's good to know that you are doing well
It's good to know that you all know I'm hurting
It's good to know I'm feeling not so well
Because my inside is outside
My right side's on the left side
Cause I'm writing to reach you now but
I might never reach you
Only want to teach you about you
But that's not you
Do you know it's true
But that won't do
Maybe then tomorrow will be Monday
And whatever's in my eye should go away
But still the radio keeps playing all the usual
And what's a Wonderwall anyway?
Because my inside is outside
My right side's on the left side
Cause I'm writing to reach you now but
I might never reach you
Only want to teach you
About you
But that's not you
Do you know it's true
But that won't do
And you know it's you
I'm talking to

I can't sleep tonight
Everybody saying everything's alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights
Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the Sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
I can't stand myself
I'm being held up by invisible men
Still life on a shelf when
I got my mind on something else
Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the Sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody's saying everything's alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of the lights
Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the Sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the Sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
Why does it always rain on me?
Why does it always rain on

Keeping up appearances
Keeping up with the Jones'
Fooling my selfish heart
Going through the motions
But I'm fooling myself
I'm fooling myself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again
You do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again
You do it again
Everybody thinks you're well
Everybody thinks I'm ill
Watching me fall apart
Falling under your spell
But you're fooling yourself
Your fooling yourself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again
You do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again
You do it again and again and again and again and again
But you're fooling yourself
You're fooling yourself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again
You do it again
You say your sorry's
Then you do it again
You do it again
You say you love me
And then you do it again
You do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again
You do it again and again and again and again and again

[Verse 1]
I was walking along in the sun
Taking pictures of everyone
And there's something on the tip of my tongue
Oh oh oh oh
Well it's easy to see from the far
And it's easy to be on your guard
But it's harder just to be who you are
Oh oh oh oh
[Chorus]
When all these people who will lead you down
The back of the track
They're on your back
They will try and tear you apart
But believe and you will see
That there's no reason to doubt
Then you will find
You can do much better than that
[Verse 2]
If you think of all the things that you feel
All the voices in your head that you hear
It's a mystery that we are all still holding on
[Chorus]
When all these people who will lead you down
The back of the track
They're on your back
They will try and tear you apart
But believe and you will see
That there's no reason to doubt
Then you will find
You can do much better than that
[Bridge]
If you see me hit the ground
Don't come near, don't make a sound
[Outro]
I was walking along in the sun
Taking pictures of everyone
And there's something on the tip of my tongue

We're tied to the 90's
In the middle
It's terribly frightening
I'm takin' it fast
Takin' it slow
There's thunder & lightning
It's terribly frightening
Lord knows
Where it goes
But I know
That if so
Well I want to tell you
We're tired of the 90's
We're tired of the 90's
But we're tied to the 90's
Tied to the 90's
Remember the 80's
(They were something)
Were worse than the 90's
We're stuck in a path
Where fashion is fast
And nothin' is lasting
It's all ghetto blasting
And Lord knows
Where it goes
But I know
That if so well I want to tell you
We're tired of the 90's
We're tired of the 90's
Tied to the 90's
"Middle 8"
h oh no
it's nothing to go on
the hifi five alive
that's it I'm stayin' in bed
'til my hair falls out
everything's over
That said I like my wig
and I hate myself
I know its all in my head
we're tired of the 90's (x3)
but we're tied to the 90's
oh we're tied to the 90's
we're tied to the 90's
we're tied to the nines
tied to the nines
tied to the 90's
We're tired of the 90's
We're tired of the 90's
We're tired of the 90's
But we're tied to the 90's
Oh, we're tied to the 90's
We're tied of the 90's
We're tired of the nines
Tied to the nines
Tied to the 90's

Never see you coming around
They know they got their heads screwed on
I'm standing in the middle of town
I know I might never come home
Just standing where I am with all the people passing by me
The sound of all these passers-by mixed in with the bus andmotor-car
I must be sure these are the signs
Cos I've been here a million times before
Just tell me when it's coming around, coming around
I think I see you coming to town,
hunting you down Bringing you round
Tell me if I'm bringing you down
Cos I was fine till you came along
You tell me that the tears of a clown
That I'm confusing while abusing my mind
So far away I wanna be
That's not as close to you and me
The things they call our destiny
Now why do you have to pick on me at all?
My walls are coming down
Just tell me when it's coming around, coming around
I think I see you coming to town, hunting you down
Coming around
Just tell me when it's coming around, coming around
I think I see you coming to town, dragging you down
Just tell me when it's coming around, coming around
I think I see you coming to town, just dragging you down
It's coming around
Coming around

When I first held you I was cold
A melting snowman I was told
But now there was no one left to hold
Before I swore that I would be alone forever more
Wow look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And I'm glad you feel the same
So just stand up, up in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so
Let's watch the flowers grow
There is no reason to feel bad
But there are many seasons to feel glad, sad, mad
It's just a bunch of feelings that we have
To hold but I am here to help you with the load
Wow look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And I'm glad you feel the same
So just stand up, up in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so
Let's watch the flowers grow
So now we're here and now it's fine
So far away from there and there it's time time time
To plant new seeds and watch them grow
So there'll be flowers in the window when we go
Wow look at us now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And I'm glad you feel the same
So just stand up, up in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so
Let's watch the flowers grow
Wow look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And I'm glad you feel the same
So just stand up, up in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so
Let's watch the flowers grow
Oh
Let's watch the flowers grow

If I told you a secret
You won't tell a soul
Will you hold it and keep it alive
Cause it's burning a hole
And I can't get to sleep
And I can't live alone in this lie
So look up, take it away
Don't look da da da down the mountain
If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return anyone, anything, anyhow
So take me
Don't leave me
Take me
Don't leave me
Baby
Love will come through
It's just waiting for you
Well I stand at the crossroads
Of highroads and lowroads
And I've got a feeling it's right
If it's real what I'm feeling
There's no make believe
In the sound of the wings of the flight of a dove
Take it away
Don't look da da da down the mountain If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return anyone, anything, anyhow
So take me
Don't leave me
Take me
Don't leave me
Baby
Love will come through
It's just waiting for you
Oh look up
Take it away
Don't look da da da down
If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return anyone, anything, anyhow
So take me
Don't leave me
Take me
Don't leave me
Baby
Love will come through
It's just waiting for you
Love will come through
Love will come through

More than us
And we are them
But they don't know
What's in their hands
It's more than you
And it's more than
I But it's more
And everybody calls it love
But I'm not really sure if it's love
At all
Not anymore
More than he
More than she
They all sleep
But we just dream
More or less
Means more for us
But it's more
And everybody wants a hand
But I'm too busy holding up the world
To carry on
No, not anymore
I wish that I
Could fly, fly, fly away
And if I should fall
And you hear me call
Would you stay
More than us
And we are them
But tehy don'y know
What's in our heads
It's more than you
And it's more than
I But it's more
And everybody calls it love
But I'm not really sure if this is love
At all
Not anymore
Anymore

Well I believe there's someone watching over you
They're watching every single thing you say
And when you die they'll set you down and take you through
You'll realize one day
That the grass is always greener on the other side
The neighbour's got a new car that you wanna drive
And when time is running out you wanna stay alive
We all live under the same sky
We all will live we all will die
There is no wrong, there is no right
The circle only has one side
One side, one side, side
We all try hard to live our lives in harmony
For fear of falling swiftly overboard
But life is both a major and a minor key
Just open up the chord
But the grass is always greener on the other side
The neighbour's got a new car that you wanna drive
And when time is running out you wanna stay alive
We all live under the same sky
We all will live we all will die
There is no wrong, there is no right
The circle only has one side
One side, one side, side
But the grass is always greener on the other side
The neighbour's got a new car that you wanna drive
And when time is running out you wanna stay alive
We all live under the same sky
We all will live we all will die
There is no wrong, there is no right
One side
But the grass is always greener on the other side
The neighbour's got a new car that you wanna drive
And when time is running out you wanna stay alive
We all live under the same sky
We all will live we all will die
There is no wrong, there is no right
The circle only has one side
One side, one side, one side, one side

I met a girl in L.A.
The million dollar kind
She was all for all or nothing
Open all the time
But when I called her number
Her mother's on the line sayin'
You've no business
As God's my witness
With a child as young as mine.
Chorus
So make sure that she's old enough
Before you blow your mind
She may look like she knows enough
But look her in the eye
And if so
Let her go
You'll let her down in style
I met a girl in Paris
She talked like Vera Lynn
And her eyes were full of dew drop
The moment I walk in
She was awfully nice
The kind you like to win
But if I'd been wiser
A whole lot wiser (wiser)
Then I might have thought again.

It starts in the morning
When you're lying next to me
I'm rolling, I'm rolling
I'm rolling so quickly
Now I'm not a doctor
And I'm not a lawyer
I get a prescription and set it on fire
Blow me a kiss
I'll be happy the rest of my life
And I'm so happy 'cause you're so happy
I'm so happy 'cause you're so happy
I'm so happy 'ause you're so happy
And I'm so happy 'cause you're so happy
Oh - oh - aw
And I'm so happy
And I really shouldn't like it
But I love it
When I say I'm not excited
You're invited
And I think I'm getting older
There's this weight across ma shoulders
It's a shame we're the same
Such a shame I'm to blame all the time
But early this evening
I wanted to be with you
I got on the blower
The next thing I know you're speaking
Now I'm gonna tell you what I've been thinking
And I got a hunch that you're thinking the same thing
And with some luck
We'll be lying together tonight
"Chorus"
Oh - oh - ah
Oh - oh - ah
Oh - oh - ah
And I'm so happy

Hey
I would really like to talk with you
Girl
Do you have the time to stop
Say
All I wanna do is rock
If this was any other day
I'd turn and walk the other way
But today
I'll stay
Not walk away
Hey
I'm a foot without a sock
Without you
Love
You seem to work around the clock
Say
All I wanna do is rock
If this was any other day
I'd turn and walk the other way
But today
I'll stay
Not walk
Just rock
Hey!
Love!
Say
All I wanna do is rock
If this was any other day
I'd turn and walk the other way
But today
I'll stay
Okay

Don´t just stand there watching it happening
I can´t stand it
Don´t feel it
Something´s telling me
Don´t wanna go out this way
But have a nice day
Then read it in the headlines
Watch it on the TV
Put it in the background
Stick it in the bag
Stick it in the bag
For the beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation
You don´t need an invitation
To drop in upon a nation
I´m too cynical
I´m just sitting here
I´m just wasting my time
Half a million civillians gonna die today
But look the wrong way
Then read it in the headlines
Watch it on the TV
Put it in the background
Stick it in the bag
Stick it in the bag
For the beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation
You don´t need an invitation
To drop in upon a nation
Don´t just stand there watching it happening
I can´t stand it
Don´t feel it
Something telling me
Don´t wanna go out this way
But have a nice day
Then read it in the headlines
Watch it on the TV
Put it in the background
Stick in the bag
Stick in the bag
For the beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation
Don´t need an invitation
To drop in upon a nation
The beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation
So much for an intervention
Don´t call the united nations

I want to see what people saw
I want to feel like I felt before
I like to see the kingdom come
I want to feel forever young
I want to sing
To sing my song
I want to live in a world where I belong
I want to live
I will survive
And I believe that it won't be very long
If we turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
Then we might learn
So where's the stars?
Up in the sky
And what's the moon?
A big balloon
We'll never know unless we grow
There's so much world outside the door
I want to sing
To sing my song
I want to live in a world where I'll be strong
I want to live
I will survive
And I believe that it won't be very long
If we turn, turn, turn, turn
And if we turn, turn, turn, turn
Then we might learn
Turn, turn, turn, turn
Turn, turn, turn
And if we turn, turn, turn, turn
Then we might learn
Learn to turn

Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Do you remember
How you were gonna stay free?
But they had plans for you
And things to do
The same thing goes for me
Well well I never
Saw it coming to me
But when I turned around
To look at you
It was all that I could do
To see the distance
Everybody wants to run
And I'm no different
Feeling like the only one
In the beginning
Everything was so close
And it seemed that everywhere you go
Everybody knows
You don't remember
What you wanted to be
Well they went round the class
And you were last
The clock was fast
So no one asked
To see the distance
Everybody wants to run
And I'm no different
Feeling like the only one
Well how long can you run?
How far and what for?
How far will you run
To get whatever you're after
Year after year after year
Well I've been looking
But I still can't see
How we get from a to b to c
And feel like we should be
Well I've been running
But I've been running around
Now there's nothing left for me to do
But sit around and see the view
And see the distance
Everybody wants to run
And I'm no different
Feeling like the only one
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?

Don't tell me what you think I want
To hear you say
And if you're wanting me to go
I'll go away
And I can understand why you
Should feel so cold
When everybody wants a piece
Of you to hold
I want to be strong, and laugh along
So bring me round
I want to be set to start again
So bring me round
Don't tell me I'm aware that I
Have lost it all
And I made such a big mistake
That takes its toll
And nobody can tell me how
I'm meant to feel
I wish they could but someday
I will learn to feel
I want to be strong, and laugh along
So bring me round
I want to be set to start again
So bring me round
But maybe the world could change
Or maybe I could change my mind
And take my place
Standing at the starting line
I want to be strong, and laugh along
So bring me round
I want to be set to start again
So bring me round
I thought I was fine, so now's the time
To bring me round
And all I can do, is wait for you
To bring me round

Turn me on to something
I don't want to be alone
My heart is like a stone and it's sinking
Stay with me, I didn't mean to hurt you
Don't you know
I didn't get where I am with much thinking
And I'm not sentimental
But I know where I belong
Come out and fight
For love and life
Tell me things 'til I forget my name
Speak your mind
And learn your lines
Tell me things 'til I forget my name
The say that if you hate yourself
You like yourself enough
You like yourself enough to be a hater
But you can't get enough
Of all that unrequited stuff
So open up to love and see what's there
And I'm not much of anything
But know where I belong
Come out and fight
For love and life
Tell me things 'til I forget my name
Sing your life
And learn your lines
Tell me things 'til I forget my name
Is this the best that we can do
for one another
Asking the questions thinking of another
When you better come out
fighting for your life
Come out and fight
For love and life
Tell me things 'til I forget my name
Speak your mind
Sing your lines
Tell me things 'til I forget my name

There's a man who
Lives by the sea
He takes his daydreams
Very seriously
You'll never see him
He lives all alone
He won't go out or
Pick up the phone
But he wishes he
Was the life and the soul of the party
But he can't 'cause he
Doesn't know anyone, anybody
Is it me?
Is it me?
Am I singing a song about me?
Tension rising
Day by day
The kids don't like him
His dog ran away
Still he wishes he
Was the life and the soul of the party
But he can't 'cause he
Doesn't know anyone, anybody
Is it me?
Is it me?
Am I singing a song about me?
Silence is golden
The church bells are tolling
He closes his eyes one last time, time
He dreams is he popular
Jokes are spectacular
Everyone laughs
And they all raise their glasses to him
And he loves them
And they love him back
'cause he wishes he
Was the life and the soulf ot he party
But he can't 'cause he
Doesn't know anyone, anybody
Is it me?
Is it me?
Am I singing a song about me?
Lost at sea
All alone
On his own
Lies the life and the soul of the party
