Something About You

On these lonely nights it haunts me
How I went out on a limb
How you drew me in it taunts me
I’m never going back again
Cats eyes in the dead of night
Day breaks and you take flight
I’m glad to see you gone but then
There’s something about you
I can’t drag myself away from you
There’s something about you
I’m going under like you want me to
I left my silver in the wiccan’s lair
Sacrifice or oversight
She has my soul to keep but I don’t care
When she summons me at night
Black heart and the devil’s eyes
Never blink when the truth lies
I try to look away but then
There’s something about you
I can’t drag myself away from you
There’s something about you
I’m going under like you want me to
Come in closer, come in closer
When the witching hour approaches
Come in closer, come in closer
I can fight but it’s all over
There’s something about you
I can’t drag myself away from you
There’s something about you
I’m going under like you want me to
There’s something about you

Underground
04:24

A part of you, a part of me
Never wants this to succeed
We could save our energy
And so we dance around the fire
Kick the embers in our eyes
No responsibility
And we hide away from the light of day
And our dreams survive by a dying flame
And we dance for rain
From now on we will take it underground,underground
I know we’re gonna make it underground, underground
We’re hanging onto what we know
Chances come, we’ll let them go
What’s the worst that we could do?
I’ll be the fool upon the hill
Choose the colour, take the pill
Red green yellow white or blue?
And Father Time says “now you’re mine”
Mother Nature broods as he holds her tight
And she knows he’s right
And from now on we will take it underground, underground
Cause I know we’re gonna make it underground, underground

Find My Way
03:33
|
|
||
|
Waves rolling under a blanket of sky
We sat and we wondered and looked at the stars together
We spoke about all the things we had done
The good things we had and the things yet to come but never
Did we do wrong by this Universe
Only the strong can lift a curse
I’m gonna find my way to your heaven
Find my way to your soul
Use this time I’ve been given
To find my way back home
Lights looming over the crest of the rise
The mist of your breath and the whites of your eyes were violence
Then in a pound of a heartbeat you’re gone
Not a thing to be said not a thing to be done just silence
How could you go not saying goodbye?
Whether below or whether high
I’m gonna find my way to your heaven
Find my way to your soul
Use this time I’ve been given
To find my way back home
I’m gonna scour the hills and the trenches
The ocean and the endless desert plain
But the sand slips through my fingers
And I wonder if it’s all in vain
I’m gonna find my way to your heaven
Find my way to your soul
Until I’m tired of living
I’ll find my way back home

I Can Be Your Man
04:13
|
|

You can be the best that you can possibly be
The mess of success on your dress
It don’t bother me
I can just take it like a man should do
I don’t want any favours and neither should you
I don’t expect to get your attention
But it’s been said we all like to get some
But maybe I’m a fool and I’m not super cool
But I can be your man
I’m not very strong and I can get it wrong
But I can be your man
No matter where we are, you can be the star
The world at your command
You can take the throne and I can tag along
And I can be your man
Now you can bring me down and more power to you
But you gotta let a guy do what he can do
Some things i do better just let it be said
But I can’t think of any off the top of my head
You don’t have to be so defensive
You know you’re making me apprehensive
But maybe I’m a fool and I’m not super cool
But i can be your man
I’m not very strong and I can get it wrong
But I can be your man
No matter where we are you can be the star
The world at your command
You can take the throne and I can tag along
And I can be your man
We all need a little company
You can conquer the world but you can share it with me
But maybe I’m a fool and I’m not super cool
But I can be your man
I’m not very strong and I can get it wrong
But I can be your man
No matter where we are you can be the star
The world at your command
You can take the throne and I can tag along
And I can be your man
I can be your man
I hope you understand
Let me be your man
I wanna be your man
I’m doing what I can
Let me be your man

Mistakes
03:39
|
|

You can try to negotiate
You can try to clean that mess you made
Don’t you wish you could back it up
And drive away into the distance?
But what’s done is done
A past like that you cannot outrun
So let it go even if they won’t see
There’s no resurrecting the dead
Everybody makes mistakes
Best to forgive and forget
Everybody makes mistakes, uh oh!
If the boot was on the other foot
I would try to be an open book
You got pride and integrity
This I see upon reflection
But your day will come
So be my friend, you’re gonna need one
There’s no exception we need redemption
There’s no resurrecting the dead
Everybody makes mistakes
Best to forgive and forget
Everybody makes mistakes
There’s no exception we need redemption
There’s no resurrecting the dead
Everybody makes mistakes
Best to forget our regret
Everybody makes mistakes

Charisma
03:10

Tell me would you like to go to the front row
Tell me would you like to be a personality
Read the job description
Is it fact or is it fiction?
Is it what it seems?
Everyone is telling you it’s you that you are selling
You forgot your dreams, so dream
Just let your charisma shine
Go and show the world that you’ve arrived
Just let your charisma shine
Oh they’re gonna love you every time
Be yourself but most of all
You better be approachable
A soul for sale
Trailer for the VIP at the festival
Everyone will come and see how you’re so wonderful
Dancing to the algorithm analytical precision
What’s your scene?
Don’t forget your pretty smile and hold it for a little while
Beguile and tease, they’ll be on their knees
Just let your charisma shine
Go and show the world that you’ve arrived
Just let your charisma shine
Oh they’re gonna love you everytime
Greet them with an open heart and win them over from the start
They’re on your team
You don’t need a skill to hone or work your fingers to the bone
Cause life’s a dream
So dream

Higher Low
03:41

Did you buy into my sin?
Did you take me for the one you’re trusting in?
Did you wait?
Did it take so long for my dark side to appear?
Now you just hold on
Would you stay with me?
I know it must be tough
Would you say that mediocre’s good enough?
If I take you to a higher low
We can make it if we try I know
I can take you to a higher low
I can get you by
You better climb one rung at a time
Don’t you slip don’t lose your grip
Should I lose mine
But if you dare
Let me take you there
Stand upon my shoulders that’s my weight to bare
For a racing heart there ain’t no finish line
You can chase it but it’s moving all the time
But I’ll take you to a higher low
We can make it if we try I know
I can take you to a higher low
I can get you by
But I like it where it’s safe to be no one
‘Cause nobody stares where the light cannot be shone
I will never be the one to go that far
Would you settle for the Sun when you’re a star?
High
High
High
Higher low
Higher low
High

The Long Way
04:04
|
|

Shots fired but the aim was high
I ducked my head and shut my eyes
Another crazy mind pushed to the brink
I heard no sound, I shed no blood
I missed the 27 Club
I quit my job and poured another drink
It all points back to me
To find another point of view
I wanna turn it inside out
What am I to do?
I’ll take the long way and see the otherside
And maybe find a peaceful paradise
I’ll take the long way and then I’ll realise
That we control the world behind our eyes
They might find an asteroid
Collision course we can’t avoid
And we’ll be gone just like the dinosaur
Some think there’s a better way
But I’ll never get a say
And those who do are rotten to the core
It’s my responsibility to find another point of view
And when it all comes to be I’ll know what to do
I’ll take the long way and see the otherside
And maybe find a peaceful paradise
I’ll take the long way and then I’ll realise
That we control the world behind our eyes
A wind of change a shifting breeze
Rolls me like a tumbleweed
The path of less resistance I will take
I might get rich with my lottery picks
Or try my hand in politics
The brave new world will never be the same
And so it’s up to all of us
To laugh about our points of view
If you take ‘em too serious then the joke’s on you
I’ll take the long way
I’ll take the long way
I’ll take the long way
I’ll take the long way
Long way

Extraordinary Things
03:54
|

Well if you don’t wanna wait, why are you waiting?
Cause it’s all there for you to take
All the things that are holding you down, you created
But chains are for breaking
Break away
Follow the light in your heart, let it lead you
And don’t be afraid of the dark, you don’t need to
Extraordinary things will come along
Follow the light of the Sun, and the seasons
You know it’s already began, that’s the reason
Extraordinary things will come along
Well the things that the critical say are overrated
You were fated to be great
But tomorrow will soon be today, so why are you waiting?
You know it’s a date and
Don’t be late

Kids Of Tomorrow

It’s not the time for you to sojourn in Hawaii
Watch the fires burn and feel the water rising
Is it hard to breathe?
It’s not the time to make excuses ‘cause you’re lazy
You’ve had time to think it through since 1980
But you dropped the ball
Rolled the dice and set the price of oil
So let’s raise our voices today
And the kids of tomorrow will say
That we saved a beautiful place
For the kids of tomorrow to play
It’s not the time for you to sue for defamation
There’s better things to do, that’s just my observation
There’s a world in need
It’s not the time for you to party with your rich friends
Or run and hide or start a fight that’s just a pretence
That we don’t believe
We won’t be divided over greed
So let’s raise our voices today
And the kids of tomorrow will say
That we saved a beautiful place
For the kids of tomorrow to play
And I ignore, you’re such a bore
That I can’t watch the news no more
It’s all just making me blue
And I’m tired of all your lying
Cause you know there’s no denying what is true
So let’s raise our voices today
And the kids of tomorrow will say
That we saved a beautiful place
For the kids of tomorrow to play
So let’s raise our voices starting today
And the kids of tomorrow will say
That we made cool choices saving a place
For the kids of tomorrow to play
