Take Me Higher
04:43
|
|||
I got a bad bad feeling
That this is just not real
Ahhh crashing thru that red light
This truck has lost its wheels
Way down in the church of the blind boy
One eye makes you king
No don't you walk that line boy
Cause they got you in
Lock down
Freeze frame
You got my number but not my name
So that's hot now?
For one night
All I gotta say is
Take me high take me higher
The next sensation sets the world on fire
Got the whole damn nation singing take me high take me higher
This invention’s gonna crash and burn
Singing hold on, hold on baby that's fine
Ohhhh it's a felony witnessed
And not a faceless crime
So disturbed and twisted
When you walk that line
Way down in the church of the blind boy
They got you caught in a
Lock down
Freeze frame
You got my number but not my name
So that's hot now?
For one night
All I gotta say is
Take me high take me high
The next sensation sets the world on fire
Got the whole damn nation singing take me high take me higher
This invention’s gonna crash and burn
Singing hold on, hold on baby
The next sensation sets the world on fire
Got the whole damn nation singing take me high take me higher
This invention’s gonna crash and burn
Singing hold on, hold on baby that’s fine
Take Me higher
Lift me higher
Take me higher
They got me caught in a
Lock down
For one night
All I gotta say is
Take me high
Take me higher
The next sensation sets the world on fire
Got the whole damn nation singing take me high take me higher
This invention’s gonna crash and burn
Singing hold on, hold on baby
The next sensation sets the world on fire
Got the whole damn nation singing take me high take me higher
This invention’s gonna crash and burn
Singing hold on, hold on baby that’s fine
Baby, that’s fine
Take me higher
Take me higher
Lift me higher
Take me higher

Chains Fall Down
05:20
|
|||
You really want to say these words?
Chose them carefully now
I’m hanging on to what I’ve heard
And I’ll shout it back, real loud
And a thousand stares will just cut you down
Better take more care when you throw that stuff around
Around
You say you haven’t done much wrong
Thought you’d help me out
You never thought I’d be so strong
But let’s turn it all around
So a thousand stares will just cut you down
Do you think I care when I call you out
Call you out
Are you watching now?
Are you watching now?
As the chains fall down, the chains fall round my feet.
Are you watching now?
As the chains fall down, chains fall round my feet
You’re coming with me or you’re out
There’s no in between
The chains you’re making pull me down
You don’t think they’re real, but I see
There’s a thousand reasons to break away
But then all I see is you standing in my way
Standing in my way
Are you watching now?
Are you watching now?
As the chains fall down, the chains fall round my feet.
Are you watching now?
As the chains fall down, the chains fall down
Are you watching now?
Are you watching now?
Are you watching now?
As the chains fall down, the chains fall round my feet.
Are you watching now?
As the chains fall down, chains fall round my feet
Say you didn’t do much wrong
Never thought I’d be so strong
But now you see me holdin’ on, holdin’ on
Never been so strong
And I’ll carry on
So just run along
Are you watching now?
Are you watching now?
As the chains fall down, the chains fall round my feet
Are you watching now?
As the chains fall down, chains fall down
Are you watching now?
Are you watching now?
As the chains fall down, the chains fall round my feet.
Are you watching now?
As the chains fall down, chains fall round my feet
And a thousand stares will cut you down
They’ll just cut you down
And a thousand stares will cut you down
You cannot do no wrong
And a thousand stares will cut you down
I will carry on and I’ll carry on
And a thousand stares will cut you down
It’s a thousand stares
And a thousand stares will cut you down
So just run along, run along, run along
And a thousand stares will cut you down
Never been so strong
They’ll cut you down
And a thousand stares will cut you down

Screaming Your Name
04:29
|
|||
Mmmmm…
I've got so much to say
These bitter pills I take
Are weighing down on me
When all I need is release
I don't understand
Why you cannot see
That deep inside
I scream
And I'm screaming your name, is it over?
I can't get away, I told you
You're locked inside me
And even though I can't breathe
All I want is you
Screaming your name
I've got so much to lose
You know it's the truth
That this beast inside
Won't ever let this die
I don't understand
Why you cannot see
That deep inside
I scream
And I'm screaming your name, is it over?
I can't get away, I told you
You're locked inside me
And even though I can't breathe
All I want is you
Screaming your name
You can't stop this feeling
Breaking down your walls
And I can't see the meaning
What is this really for?
Need you to love me, need so much to be loved
So I feel like I'm worthy and good enough
And I’m screaming your name
Screaming your name
I know you're locked inside me
And even though I can't breathe
All I want is you
And I'm screaming your name, is it over?
I can't get away, I told you
You're locked inside me
And even though I can't breathe
All I want is you
Screaming your name
Screaming your name
Mmmmm…
Mmmmm…

Hurts
05:19
|
|||
Cos when I see you it hurts
Hearing your name makes it worse
Now I feel like I'm cursed
There's nowhere to hide on this earth
Cos when I see you it hurts
Like a beetle left to die in the sun
Heat comes out and I know I'm done
Upside down and all on fire
And inside all I can do is smile
Pain-killers don't stop the pain
And my heart it judders into life again
Sometimes you need to hear the words
It’s all you need to stem the hurt
Cos when I see you it hurts
Hearing your name makes it worse
Now I feel like I'm cursed
There's nowhere to hide on this earth
Cos when I see you it hurts
Like a free bird locked in a cage
Head turned down to block out the pain
Arms folded tight across my chest
I can still make out your silhouette
Pain-killers don't stop the pain
And my heart it judders into life again
Sometimes you need to hear the words
It’s all you need to stem the hurt
Cos when I see you it hurts
Hearing your name makes it worse
Now I feel like I'm cursed
There's nowhere to hide on this earth
Cos when I see you it hurts
Cos when I see you it hurts
Hearing your name makes it worse
Now I feel like I'm cursed
There's nowhere to hide on this earth
Cos when I see you it hurts
Cos it hurts
Every time I hear your name now
It hurts
Everywhere I go it’s too loud
It hurts
Every time I hear your name now
It hurts
Everywhere I go it’s too loud
Pain-killers don't stop the pain
And my heart it judders into life again
Sometimes you need to hear the words
It’s all you need to stem the hurt
Cos when I see you it hurts
Hearing your name makes it worse
Now I feel like I'm cursed
There's nowhere to hide on this earth
Cos when I see you it hurts
Hearing your name makes it worse
Now I feel like I'm cursed
There's nowhere to hide on this earth
Cos when I see you it hurts
Cos when I see you it hurts
When I see you it hurts
When I see you it hurts
Cos when I see you it hurts

Breathe Out
05:04
|
|||
The world looks bigger when your heart’s not breaking
The air is clearer when the ground stops shaking
Now, I can breathe out
You gave me hurt but I was the one who was taking
You let me down and we never made it
Now, I can breathe out
Maybe you have to hurt so that you can learn
Maybe you cannot hide from what you deserve
Maybe it’s all messed up but that's what I've learnt
So just breathe out
Just breathe out
Just breathe out
So take your demons and take all your pain
Cause it was not my job to help you change
And now, I can breathe out
Whatever you tell yourself
You know the truth
I wasn't ever sure of reaching you
And now, I can breathe out
Maybe you have to hurt so that you can learn
Maybe you cannot hide from what you deserve
Maybe its all messed up and that's what I've learnt
So just breathe out
Just breathe out
Just breathe out
Just breathe out
Maybe you have to hurt so that you can learn
Maybe you cannot hide from what you deserve
Maybe it’s all messed up but that's what I've learnt
So just breathe out
Just breathe out
Just breathe out
Just breathe out

Wave Them Goodbye
04:13
|
|||
I sense there's something wrong
There's a feeling that don't set right here
I’m thinking we don't belong
Hey, hey baby are you getting the fear?
And we should plan an escape
Some sort of exit or a strategy
Cause every move that we make
Could be our last
Baby what do you say?
And I just want our backs to the wind again
I won't watch us tail-spinning down
I smelled danger right at the beginning
And I won't leave here alone
Just wave goodbye
And I won't leave here alone
Just wave goodbye
I feel the walls on fire
I see the eagle flying round our heads
A case of do or die
Hey, hey babe wishin’ we was dead
So we should grab our stuff
Pack up the bags and
Sneak away alone
Before our time is up
Ooh-ooh baby now I’m taking you home
And I just want our backs to the wind again
I won't watch us tail-spinning down
I smelled danger right at the beginning
And I won't leave here alone
Just wave goodbye
And I won't leave here alone
Just wave goodbye
And I won't leave here alone
Just wave goodbye
And I won't leave here alone
Just wave goodbye
Wave them goodbye
Wave them goodbye
Wave them goodbye
Wave them goodbye, wave them goodbye
Wave them goodbye
And I just want our backs to the wind again
I won't watch us tail-spinning down
I smelled danger right at the beginning
And I won't leave here alone
Just wave goodbye
And I won't leave here alone
Just wave goodbye
And I won't leave here alone
Just wave goodbye
And I won't leave here alone
Just wave goodbye
And I won't leave here alone
And I won't leave here alone
Wave them goodbye, wave them goodbye
Wave them goodbye

More Sinner Than Saint
04:32
|
|||
Always been more sinner than saint
The devil may take me but I can't wait for him
There must be an angel out there
To gather me up to take some care of me
Weighed down by the mission I think
I better wake up, this boat’s gonna sink and
I'm bound and washed up on the shore
I don't belong here any more
I’ll only wait so long, ooh ooh
I’ll only wait so long, ooh ooh
I’ll only wait so long, ooh ooh
One sign, one vision
One reason for the hope I'm missin
One satellite, stars falling
One reason to believe once more
This rainbow’s got no end
The fantasy’s gone, I've stopped pretending
This pain grows deep in my heart
Too little too late cause I shouldn't have started
No sacrifice confessing
Nobody with the strength to listen
I'm bound and cast down on the floor
I don't belong here any more
I’ll only wait so long, ooh ooh
I’ll only wait so long, ooh ooh
I’ll only wait so long, ooh ooh
One sign, one vision
One reason for the hope I'm missin’
One satellite, stars fall
One reason to believe once more
One sign, one vision
One reason for the hope I'm missin’
One satellite, stars fall
One reason to believe once more
I strayed too far, I left the path and then
Confess my sins don’t send me back again, back again
I’ll only wait so long, ooh ooh
I’ll only wait so long, ooh ooh
I’ll only wait so long, ooh ooh
One sign, one vision
One reason for the hope I'm missin’
One satellite, stars fall
One reason to believe once more
One sign, one vision
One reason for the hope I'm missin’
One satellite, stars fall
One reason to believe once more
I’ll only wait so long
I’ll only wait so long
I’ll only wait so long
I’ll only wait so long
Always been more sinner than saint
The devil can wait.

If I Go To Sleep
04:42
|
|||
Whoa – yeah, whoa – yeah, whoa – yeah
If I go to sleep
Is anybody there?
Because I don't believe
And it could be for all time
In an endless dream
I’m sinking in my pillow tonight
And what it is to wake
A long forgotten face
Thought he'd never fade
But he’s taken away
So I’d better sail on eternally
Eyes open wide
Is it easier to dream?
If I go to sleep
I think that it's alright
Now go to sleep
Will I come around to find
No place to breathe?
When I wake up in a morning
The world’s on fire
Still not turning
Then I know
That it’s real again
And as night closes in
A lonely candle burns
But it's oh so dim
And there’s something to be learned
Or forgotten when
I’m sinking in my pillow tonight.
And the morning comes
A new day’s on the rise
What has just begun
To play upon my mind
Looking all shot down to me
Eyes open wide
Is it better not to dream?
If I go to sleep
Will I think that it's alright?
Now go to sleep
Will I come around to find
No place to breathe?
When I wake up in a morning
The world’s on fire
Still not turning
Then I know
That it’s real again
So I lay me down
With a midnight song
Rolling round and round
And I feel much stronger now
But I’ll wait and see
What I need’s so near
Come on set me free
If I go to sleep
I think that it's alright
Now go to sleep
Will I come around to find
No place to breathe?
When I wake up in a morning
The world’s on fire
And it still won’t turn
If I go to sleep
I think that it's alright
Now go to sleep
Will I come around to find
No place to breathe?
When I wake up in a morning
The world’s on fire
And it’s still not turning
Then I know
That it’s real again
So go to sleep
Just go to sleep
Just close your eyes
And maybe dream

Stand On My Feet
06:30
|
|||
This is nothing now to me yeah
What made me happy makes me sad
This is nothing now to me yeah
What made me happy makes me mad
Don't you know how I feel about you?
Don't you know what I see?
The person that I thought I knew's
Been lying to me, yeah, yeah
There was something on your mind then
You seemed to love me for myself
There was something deep inside yeah
And there was no one else
Someday you'll get it right
Someday I'll be strong
You won't be holding me back
And it won't be long
Before I stand on my feet
Before I stand up tall
Before you’re right into me
Won't take no time at all
Is there anything you can say now?
Make me trust your words
Is there anything you can give me now?
Something I ain't heard
Don't you know how I feel about you?
Don't you know what I see?
The person that I thought I knew's
Been lying to me
Someday you'll get it right
Someday I will be strong
You won't be holding me back
And it won't be long
Before I stand on my feet
Before I stand up tall
Before you’re right into me
Won't take no time at all
Before I stand on my feet
Before I stand up tall
Before you’re right into me
Won't take no time at all
Before I stand on my feet
Before I stand so tall
Before you’re right into me
Won't take no time at all

In Reverse
04:38
|
|||
The lights spin round before my eyes
I feel so lost I want to cry
And all I see in your eyes is goodbye
Goodbye
I feel with every part of me
I'm feeling things I could not see
That are now happening to me
Happening to me
In love we get left behind
Love you're no friend of mine
Reality bites
And then it stings
The truth will shut down everything
I know it's crazy, I know it hurts
We're like a love song in reverse
Inside my head your words they ring
My life like glass it's shattering
We say it's for the best
And we have to be honest
And so I watch you walking away
And all my plans they start to fade
Through the strobes that pierce
And shine right through my tears
In love we get left behind
Love you're no friend of mine
Reality bites
And then it stings
The truth will shut down everything
I know it's crazy, I know it hurts
We're like a love song in reverse
And so we know the love is gone
I guess it's time we move on
Reality bites
And then it stings
The truth will shut down everything
I know it's crazy, I know it hurts
We're like a love song in reverse
Reality bites
And shows the truth
And then it punches into you
I know it's crazy, I know it hurts
We're like a love song in reverse

With Me
05:26
|

Got your kisses up and down my neck
Give you something that you won't regret
And I got you now
I got you now
Feeling things that I can't explain
I love the heat coming from this game
And I got you now
I got you now
You're coming with me
You're coming with me
I'm all tangled up in you
And this is something I have to do
And I got you now
I got you now
Leave reality outside the door
Cos this is all that's worth living for
And I got you now
I got you now
And you're coming with me
I'll take you anywhere you need to go
And I'll take it slow
And I'm bringing you home
I'll take you anywhere you wanna be
Won’t you take my hand
And I'll make you see
You’re coming with me
You’re coming with me
There’s a fire hidden in your soul
Feeling like it's got no place to go
But I got you now
I got you now
Release the pressure inside your head
Let your body go where it's lead
And I got you now
And I got you now
And you're (coming) with me.....
I'll take you anywhere you need to go
And I'll take it slow
And I'm bringing you home
I'll take you anywhere you wanna be
Won’t you take my hand
And I'll make you see
You’re coming with me
You’re coming with me
Won't you stop pretending
There's no happy ending
Put your trust in my eyes
I'll help you realise
You’re coming with me
You’re coming with me
I'll take you anywhere you need to go
And I'll take it slow
And I'm bringing you home
I'll take you anywhere you wanna be
Won’t you take my hand
And I'll make you see
You’re coming with me
You’re coming with me
You’re coming with me
You’re coming with me
You’re coming with me
You’re coming with me
