So little to say but so much time,
Despite my empty mouth the words are in my mind.
Please wear the face, the one where you smile,
Because you lighten up my heart when I start to cry.
Forgive me first love, but I’m tired.
I need to get away to feel again.
Try to understand why,
don‘t get so close to change my mind.
Please wipe that look out of your eyes,
it’s bribing me to doubt myself;
Simply, it’s tiring.
This love has dried up and stayed behind,
And if I stay I’ll be a lie
Then choke on words I’d always hide.
Excuse me first love, but we’re through.
I need to taste a kiss from someone new.
Forgive me first love, but I’m too tired.
I’m bored to say the least and I, I lack desire.
Forgive me first love,
Forgive me first love,
Forgive me first love,
Forgive me first love,
Forgive me,
Forgive me first love,
Forgive me first love | Who wants to be right as rain
It’s better when something is wrong
You get excitement in your bones
And everything you do’s a game
When night comes and you’re on your own
You can say “I chose to be alone”
Who wants to be right as rain
It’s harder when you’re on top
‘Cause when hard work don’t pay off
And I’m tired there ain’t no room in my bed
As far as I’m concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off
We won’t be making up
I’ve cried my heart out
And now I’ve had enough of love
Who wants to be riding high
When you’ll just crumble back on down
You give up everything you are
And even then you don’t get far
They make believe that everything
Is exactly what it seems
But at least when you’re at your worst
You know how to feel things
See when hard work don’t pay off and I’m tired
There ain’t no room in my bed
As far as I’m concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off
We won’t be making up
I’ve cried my heart out
And now I’ve had enough of love
Go ahead and still my heart
To make me cry again
‘Cause it will never hurt
As much as it did then
When we were both right
And no one had blame
But now I give up
On this endless game
‘Cause who wants to be right as rain
It’s better when something is wrong
I get excitement in my bones
Even thought everything’s a strain
When night comes and I’m on my own
You should know I chose to be alone
Who wants to be right as rain
It’s harder when you’re on top
‘Cause when hard work don’t pay off and I’m tired
There ain’t no room in my bed
As far as I’m concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off
We won’t be making up
I’ve cried my heart out
And now I’ve had enough of love | When the rain is blowing in your face,
And the whole world is on your case,
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.
When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
And there is no one there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.
I know you haven’t made your mind up yet,
But I would never do you wrong.
I’ve known it from the moment that we met,
No doubt in my mind where you belong.
I’d go hungry; I’d go black and blue,
I’d go crawling down the avenue.
No, there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
To make you feel my love.
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret.
Though winds of change are blowing wild and free,
You ain’t seen nothing like me yet.
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.
Nothing that I wouldn’t do.
Go to the ends of the Earth for you,
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love | You said I’m stubborn and I never give in
I think you’re stubborn ‘cept you’re always softening
You say I’m selfish, I agree with you on that
I think you’re giving out in way too much in fact
I say we’ve only known each other one year
You say I’ve known you longer my dear
You like to be so close, I like to be alone
I like to sit on chairs and you prefer the floor
Walking with each other, think we’ll never match at all, but we do
But we do, but we do, but we do
I thought I knew myself, somehow you know me more
I’ve never known this, never before
You’re the first to make out whenever we are two
I don’t know who I’d be if I didn’t know you
You’re so provocative, I’m so conservative
You’re so adventurous, I’m so very cautious, combining
You think we would and we do, but we do, but we do, but we do
Instrumental bit!
Favouritism ain’t my thing but,
In this situation I’ll be glad…
Favouritism ain’t my thing but,in this situation I’ll be glad to make an exception
You said I’m stubborn and I never give in
I think you’re stubborn ‘cept you’re always softening
You say I’m selfish, I agree with you on that
I think you’re giving out in way too much in fact
I say we’ve only known each other one year
You say I’ve known you longer my dear
You like to be so close, I like to be alone
I like to sit on chairs and you prefer the floor
Walking with each other, think we’ll never match at all, but we do | Hold my hand while you cut me down
It had only just begun but now it’s over now
And your in the heat of moments with your heart playing up cold
I’m between the middle watching hastiness unfold
On my eyes your were smiling in the spotlight dancing with the night
The night
When I fell off your mind
I’m tired of trying
Your teasing ain’t enough
Fed up of buying your time
When I don’t get nothing back
And for what, and for what, and for what
When I don’t get nothing back
Oi I’m tired
Where’d you go when you stayed behind?
I looked up and inside down and outside only to find
A double taking punching heartache laughing at my smile
I get closer you obviously prefer her
[Chorus:]
I’m tired of trying
Your teasing ain’t enough
Fed up of buying your time
When I don’t get nothing back
And for what, and for what, and for what
When I don’t get nothing back
Oi I’m tired of trying
Your teasing ain’t enough
Fed up of biding your time
When I don’t get nothing back
And for what, and for what, and for what
When I don’t get nothing back
Oi I’m tired
[Instrumental]
(I should have known)
Never mind said your open arms
I couldn’t help the leap that tripped back into them
Even though
[Chorus]
[Instrumental] | I’ve been walking in the same way as I did
Missing out the cracks in the pavement
And tutting my heel and strutting my feet
“Is there anything I can do for you dear? Is there anyone I could call?”
“No and thank you, please Madam. I ain’t lost, just wandering”
Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I’ve met
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of my world
I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque
I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades
I like it in the city when two worlds collide
You get the people and the government
Everybody taking different sides
Shows that we ain’t gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Shows that we ain’t gonna take it
Shows that we ain’t gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I’ve met
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of my world | When we used
To say goodnight
I’d always kiss
And hold you tight
But lately
You don’t seem
To care
You close the door
And leave me
Standing there
Oh, honey
That’s not fair
That’s it
I quit
I’m movin’ on
The other night
We had a date
An you showed up
To hours late
And though your hair
Was all in place
Somebody smeared
Their lipstick
On your face
Oh, they smeared it
Every place
Ye that’s it honey
I quit I’m movin’ on
Oooohhhh
You made me want you
You made me leave you
You made me tumble
And fall
But if I
Can’t have you the way
I want you
I don’t want you at all
Baby, I can take a lot
Cause I love
Everything you got
Though your kisses
Fill me
So if you got
Someone else
I gotta go
Oh, that you know
Ye that’s it honey
I quit I’m movin’ on
Oooohhhh
You made me want you
You made me leave you
You made me tumble
And fall
But if I
Can’t have you the way
I want you
I don’t want you at all
Baby
I can take a lot
Cause I love
Everything you got
Though your kisses
Fill me
So if you got
Someone else
I gotta go
Oh, that you know
So that’s it baby
I quit I’m movin’ on
Ye that’s it baby
I quit now
I’m movin’ on | Sometimes the hole you left hurts my heart so bad
It cuts through the deepest parts of me
And fills up my mouth with the words that cry
How I’m still trying to stay inside
Hearts break and hands wave
To make us grow fonder
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh
So that we know that it hurts
Hearts break and hands wave
To make us grow fonder
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh
So that we know that it hurts
Every now and then my memories ache
With the empty ideas of the ones we’d made
But as time goes on and my age gets older
I love the ones I know, they’re enough to picture the rest
‘Cause hearts break and hands wave
To make us grow fonder
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh
So that we know that it hurts
Our hearts break and hands wave
To make us grow fonder
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh
So that we know that it hurts
You know when to make me imagine you’re here
You know when to make me imagine you’re here
You know when to make me imagine you’re here
You know when to make me imagine you’re here | Painting pictures with my mind
Making memories using my eyes
Filling up my heart with golden stories
Who adds some spice to the rhythm of life
Ooh
Welcome sunrise with the morning glory
I’ve changed my mind
There is no simple
I thought of me
I want to see
I want to feel my heartbeat so
With the world that you feel
Leave
I can feel the pressure pushing onto my heart
And it’s teasing me
So scratch my itch and beat my drum
So i can start to begin what’s begun
Painting pictures
Filling up my heart with golden stories
Painting pictures
Filling up my heart with golden stories
Running riots inside my soul
Fire burning and it’s lighting me up
Ooh
Scratch my itch and beat my drum
So I can finish what has begun
Painting pictures
Filling up my heart with golden stories
Painting pictures
Filling up my heart with golden stories | Go ahead, go ahead and smash it on the floor
Take whatever’s left, and take it with you out the door
See if I cry
See if I shed a single sorry tear
Can’t say it’s been that way
No, in fact it’s been wasted on you
Everybody sees and everyone agrees
That you and I are old
And it’s been that way too long
Take it as it comes, and be thankful when its done
There’s so many ways to act
And there’s many shades of black
There’s so many shades of black
There’s so many shades of black
Let it out, let it all out and say what’s on your mind
You can kick and scream, and shout and say things that are, so unkind
Yeah
See if I care
See if I stand firm or if i fall
Cause in the back of my mind, and on the tip of my tongue is the answer to you
Everybody sees and everyone agrees
That you and I are old
And it’s been that way too long
Take it as it comes, and be thankful when it’s done
There’s so many ways to act
And there’s many shades of black
There’s so many shades of black
Yeah, there’s many shades of black
Ohhhhh
Yeah everybody sees and everyone agrees
That you and I are old
And it’s been that way too long
Take it as it comes, and be thankful when its done
There’s so many ways to act
And you cannot take it back
Oh, you cannot take it back
Cause there’s many shades of black
You have many shades of black
You have many, you have many shades of black
Cause there’s many shades of black
There’s so many shades of black
There’s so many shades of black
There’s so many shades of black
Ohhhh ohhhh |
