Never Gonna Learn (Live)

Ain’t gonna beg
I won't steal
Ain't gonna ask
What you feel
My head spins
All around
Ain't nothing gonna bring me down
A broken heart can mend itself
When you're wrapped up in someone else
Ain't gonna tell ya
You got to know
What’s on my mind
My eyes show
I'll take you down
You watch out
I’m gonna make you scream out loud
A broken heart can mend itself
When you're wrapped up in someone else
Don't think I'm never gonna learn (don't think, don’t think)
I only like it when it hurts
Don't think I'm never gonna learn (don't think, don’t think)
I only like it when it hurts
Ain’t gonna beg
I won't steal
Ain't gonna ask
What you feel
My head spins
All around
Ain't nothing gonna bring me down
A broken heart can mend itself
When you're wrapped up in someone else
Don't think I'm never gonna learn (don't think, don’t think)
I only like it when it hurts
Don't think I'm never gonna learn (don't think, don’t think)
I only like it when it hurts
So don't think you'll be bringing me down
Cause my feet are way off the ground
It takes somebody now to move along
It feels so right you know it can’t be wrong
It can’t be wrong
A broken heart can mend itself
When you're wrapped up in someone else
Don't think I'm never gonna learn (don't think, don’t think)
I only like it when it hurts
Don't think I'm never gonna learn (don't think, don’t think)
I only like it when it hurts
I don’t like it when it hurts
I don’t like it when it hurts
I don’t like it when it hurts
I don’t like it when it hurts

I’ve got the fever in the night
I got the shivers running down my spine
And that’s not right
Something whispers from the other side
I get the fear
Every time I feel you coming through
You touch a part of me you shouldn’t do
I got the fever in the night
I got the fever in the night
I get those tremors in the dark
Something staring deep into my heart
And that’s too far
Stone cold fingers push me down in time
I get the fear
Every time I feel you coming through
You touch a part of me you shouldn’t do
And then you walk around my soul
Feel you walking round my soul
And then you walk around my soul
I feel you walking round my soul
I see temptation in your eyes
An image burning deep into my brain
And that’s no lie
Through each pleasure runs the sting of pain
And I know
If I surrender like you want me to
You’ll touch a part of me you shouldn’t do
I get the fever in the night
I get the fever in the night
I get those tremors in the dark
It’s something staring deep into my heart
And that’s too far
Stone cold fingers push me down in time
And I know
Every time I feel you coming through
You touch a part of me you shouldn’t do
And then you walk around my soul
I feel you walking round my soul
And then you walk around my soul
I feel you walking round my soul
I feel you walking, walking round my soul
Walking round my soul
If I surrender like you want me to
You’ll touch a part of me you shouldn’t do
And then you walk around my soul
I feel you walking round my soul
And then you walk around my soul
I feel you walking round my soul
I feel you walking, walking round my soul
Hey, I got the fever
Hey, I got the fever
Walking round my soul
Walking round my soul
I feel you walking, walking round my soul
Oh, I got the fever

Night Train (Live)
05:18
|
|||
|
Full moon over midnight
Like the thunder she rolls
On a ball of hot steel and flame
Looking for lost souls
She ain’t out for the innocents
She don’t care for your green
Cause your money can’t buy you love
Where this freight has been
So what you got to offer me?
So what you got to say?
When you’re called upon to testify
Better get down on your knees and pray
Cause this engine only pulls one way
Aboard the night train
Aboard the night train
Aboard the night train
My God I hear it
Rolling down a long black line
To a world of pain
If the whistle is crying to you
And you answer the call
It’ll get you one shot of fame
But mister that is all
Never works like you planned it
That don’t mean it’s not real
Don’t go thinking you’ll be pulling out
When you make that deal
So what you got to offer me?
I’ve come to take my pay
Now you’re called upon to testify
Better get down on your knees and pray
Cause this engine only pulls one way
Aboard the night train
Aboard the night train
Aboard the night train
My God I hear it
Rolling down a long black line
Rolling down a long black line
To a world of pain
World of pain
So what you got to offer me?
Lord, I’ve come to take my pay
Now you’re called upon to testify
Better get down on your knees and pray
Cause this engine only pulls one way
Aboard the night train
Aboard the night train
Aboard the night train
My God I hear it
Rolling down a long black line
Aboard the night train
Aboard the night train
Aboard the night train
My God I hear it,
Rolling down a long black line
Rolling down a long black line
Rolling down a long black line
To a world of pain
To a world of pain
Aboard the night train

It's been a long, long time since I felt this way
Darling, it's been a long, long time since I felt this way
You make me so nervous
Lord you make me feel afraid
The way you look at me
The way you turn and smile
You make me feel
Lord make me feel like a child
You drive me crazy and I get lost in your eyes
Want to tell you what
Want to tell you what you do to me
But I don't want to scare you
Don't want to make you want to leave
Cos there ain't nothing but love baby
Love I wear on my sleeve
When you sit beside me
And you chat in my ear
Can say anything you want
Cause there is nothing I don't want to hear
Words from your sweet mouth
Baby make me choke back my fear
It's been a long, long time since I felt this way
Darling, it's been a long time since I felt this way
You make me so nervous
Lord you make me feel so afraid

I’ve been making the best of a bad job
And I know you’ve been working it too
But it ain’t even half of what I think of
And I’m hoping you’ll like what I’m gonna do
I’ve been cooking a sweet dish
Stir my honey for two
Lay back cause you need this
Poured right over you
You got a taste for me
So what am I gonna do?
I’m gonna spread my sweetness over you
Well I know you got a taste for invention
And my mind’s cooking up something new
Hot and sweet is of course my intention
Candy crush, sugar rush, right into you
Fingers been in the sweet jar
And they taste real good
Lay back and I’ll feed you
Like I always should
You got a taste for me
So what am I gonna do?
I’m gonna spread my sweetness over you
Give you the best of me
That’s what I’m gonna do
I’ve gotta spread my sweetness over you
Over you
Got to spread my sweet love over you
Give me some of that hot buttered soul
Sweet surrender’s coming through
Let me bring you home
Well I know you got a taste for invention
And my mind’s cooking up something new
Hot and sweet is of course my intention
Candy crush, sugar rush, right into you
Fingers been in the sweet jar
And they taste real good
Lay back and I’ll feed you
Like I always should
You got a taste for me
So what am I gonna do?
I’m gonna spread my sweetness over you
Give you the best of me
That’s what I’m gonna do
I’ve gotta spread my sweetness over you
Over you
Over you

Back To The Start (Live)
04:51

If I could, I know I’d surely go back there
I’m no good, running away where I am
Hiding away where I am
I don’t need, any more hotels or cab fares
If I hear “Have a nice day” one more time
I could go out of my mind
But I could be back in a day
And I should be true to my senses
Before I’m so numb I can’t say
I don’t think so, I don’t need this
All of my roads lead to you
All of my memories go back to the start
Back to the places I knew
Back to the days when I sang
From the heart
What might change?
Are the fields there that I ran through?
What remains?
What of the friends that I had?
What of the friends that I knew?
And if there is nobody home
Or even a home I remember
The pain I would feel there alone
Might just hurt me ‘til I break knowing
All of my roads lead to you
All of my memories go back to the start
Back to the places I knew
Back to the days when I sang
All I need
All I want
And all that I feel
All of my roads lead to you
All of my senses go back to the start
Back to the places I knew
Back to the days when I sang
From the heart
From my heart
From my heart
From my heart
All of my roads lead to you
All of my senses go back to the start
Back to the places I knew
Back to the days when I sang
All of my roads lead to you
All of my memories go back to the start
Back to the places I knew
Back to the days when I sang
From the heart
From my heart
From the heart

It’s cold down here
In the basement of my heart
It’s cold down here,
You better light the flame
You better let the fire start
Well it’s dark down here
In the basement of my heart
It’s dark down here
You gotta throw the switch
Flash a lightning from the sparks
Let the fire start
Lightning from the sparks
Moonlight from the stars
You gotta make it happen,
Lost in time and space
It’s a cold and lonely, lonely place
In the basement of my heart
It’s night down here
In the basement of my heart
It’s night down here
(So dark)
Throw a rope around the moon
Steal the moonlight from the stars
So lost down here
In the basement of my heart
So lost down here,
You gotta break me out
You gotta tear this place apart
Let the fire start
Lightning from the sparks
Moonlight from the stars
You gotta make it happen,
Lost in time and space
It’s a cold and lonely, lonely place
In the basement of my heart
It’s so cold down here
Mmmm
You better light the flame
Let the fire start
Well, it’s dark so dark down here
Mmmm
It’s dark down here
You gotta throw the switch
Ooooh
Let the fire start
Lightning from the sparks
Moonlight from the stars
You gotta make it happen,
Lost in time and space
It’s a cold and lonely, lonely place
In the basement of my heart
Basement of my heart

It’s a cold night, I should hold you
As you tell me the bad news
That you’re locked away from me
That you’re leaving me lonely
It’s the wrong night to have bad dreams
Cause I know what it all means
As I’m dragged way down under
In the storm and the thunder
Longing for the walls to break down
No one hears you when you’re drowning
Somebody hold back the flood
Cause I’m sailing on a pool of tears
And I’m waiting, counting down our broken years
See I’m sailing on a pool of tears
And I’m waiting, as the day disappears
It’s a long night and I can’t sleep
Waters flowing round my feet
And it’s making me colder
Like we’ve grown so much older
There’s a river underneath us
Rising up to defeat us
Full of fear full of danger
Like a terrible stranger
Lonely but for all I stay home
Slowly sinking and I’m thinking
When is the dam gonna break?
See I’m sailing on a pool of tears
And I’m waiting, counting down our broken years
Now I’m sailing on a pool of tears
And I’m waiting, as the day disappears
Longing for the walls to break down
No one hears you when you’re drowning
Somebody hold back the flood
It’s a cold night, I should hold you
As you tell me the bad news
That you’re locked away from me
That you’re leaving me lonely
It’s the wrong night to have bad dreams
Cause I know what it all means
As I’m dragged way down under
In the storm and the thunder
See I’m sailing on a pool of tears
And I’m waiting, counting down our broken years
See I’m sailing on a pool of tears
And I’m waiting, as the day disappears
See I’m sailing
And I’m waiting
See I’m sailing
And I’m waiting
Counting down my broken years
As the day disappears
Sailing on a pool of tears

Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody gonna put me down
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody gonna put me down
Had too much of that in my life darling
It’s time to turn this thing around
Ain't no one, ain't no one
Ain’t no one gonna mess with me
Ain't no one, ain't no one
Ain’t no one gonna mess with me
Got the strongest link to my blood
It's the circle that’s called my family
And all this time, I never realised
I had the strength inside
And all this time I never realised,
The tears I cried
Could make me stronger
Could make me sweeter
Could make me bolder
Make me believe
Could make me feel ya
Could make this deeper
Could make me stronger
Make me believe
So think on think on child
All the things you've done
So think on think on child
All the things you've done
Throw away all those regrets
I don't keep a hold on none
And all this time, I never realised
I had the strength inside
And all this time I never realised,
The tears I cried
Could make me stronger
Could make me sweeter
Could make me bolder
Make me believe
Could make me feel ya
Could make this deeper
Could make me stronger
Make me believe
Could make me stronger
Could make me sweeter
Could make me bolder
Make me believe
Could make me feel ya
Could make this deeper
Could make me stronger
Make me believe
I never realised
Had the strength inside
Make me believe
I never realised
All the strength inside
Make me believe
Make me believe

I got your message,
Seems like you’re lonely,
Wanna meet up and roll back the days?
How ‘bout the pool hall where you used to play?
We could kick back and have us some beers
It's been a long time without you
Man, it seems like a 1000 years
So how you doin?
A little messed up
But you still got that spark in your eyes
Been through some dark times baby
Since we both said our last goodbyes
Will you forgive me, for never callin’?
I didn’t exactly beat a path to your door.
Let’s put the past way behind us
Cause we’re back here together once more
I heard you lived with some wild kinda lady
Is she still with you?
No, it all proved too crazy a show
Wanna tell me some more?
Believe me you don’t want to know
You don’t wanna know
It’s sure been something,
Must do it again babe
Now let me hold you then be on your way
Jump in a taxi to wherever
‘fore I break down and beg you to stay
Do you regret us never taking it further?
Don’t even go there
When I think what we might have become
Another time, another beer
I’ll tell you what we should have done
What we should have done.
So now I’m stuck here
On the corner
Where we kissed and you brought me to tears
Well, you’ve been gone for 30 seconds
But it feels like a thousand years.
Aah, it’s sure been something,
Must do it again babe
Now let me hold and then be on your way
Jump in a taxi to wherever
‘fore I break down and beg you to stay
So, now I’m stuck here
On the corner
Where we kissed and you brought me to tears
With your voice ringing out in my ears
Back in a place where we both had no fears
Well, you’ve been gone for 30 seconds
But it feels like a thousand years.
A thousand years
A thousand years
