Foggy Daylight
03:08
|
|
||
Marking time in an endless stream of chores
The girl is ill and her voice is getting hoarse
Waiting for her boss
Children playing in the corridor
The old man steps on a toy and falls
No one hears his call
This foggy daylight
Some walk some crawl
This burning conscience
Let blind gain sight
This foggy sunshine is all that we share
Factory churns and chemicals emit
The sky is green but no one seem to learn
We are what we burn
The girl told that she cannot go, not yet
The boss is late
But is really dead
The maid found him that way
This foggy daylight
Some walk some crawl
This burning conscience
Let blind gain sight
This foggy sunshine is all that we share
Factory's closed
You can go home
The old man's gone
But should we mourn?
This foggy daylight
Some walk some crawl
This burning conscience
Let blind gain sight
This foggy sunshine is all that we share
All that we share
All that we share

Pretty Faces
03:40

You used to make up pretty proses
Of how life is a bed of roses
You've never stepped into my shoes
And you will never have a clue
I've only got myself to blame
I've always said I'll see you again
A left turn and you're on the highway
A bunch of losers made to pay
And now you don't feel oh so happy
When you read what is in the diary
I've only got myself to blame
I've always said I'll see you again
New romances going places
Let's stop talking about pretty faces
it's easy killing everybody
It's harder giving love away
And I'll give and give 'til I'm in the red
I've only got myself to blame
I've always said I'll see you again
New romances going places
Let's stop talking about pretty faces
Let's stop talking about pretty faces
Oh let's stop talking about pretty faces

All this talk about you
I can't seem to get through to you
I can't take it anymore
Made your dreams come true
But you're breaking me
Why you breaking me?
Kissed me once
You kissed me twice
Then step on me like you do
Oh i can't take it anymore
Made your dreams come true
But you're breaking me
Why you breaking me?
I can see the end
Though you tried hard not to show
The only way I know
Is if I learn to let you go
All this talk about you
Seemed like it's getting to you
Oh you got what you came for
Won't you share it too?
'Cause you're breaking me
Why you breaking me?
Why you breaking me?
Why you breaking me, breaking me?

I see them in the pouring rain
Laughing at me once again
But it’s them who are getting wet
I’m up in the clouds and breathing fresh air
But if you want me to come down
My feet’s on the ground
I’ll be there in a little while
I’ll be around
I wonder if I’d ever see
The day when everyone is free
People tell me it could never be
I’m up in the clouds and shouting out loud
But if you want me to come down
My feet’s on the ground
I’ll be there in a little while
I’ll be around
Well just today
I was on my way
When I saw the tears
Rolling down
Joy and pain all rolled in one

Your Smiling Face
02:28
|
|

Gotta get up 'cause I can't sleep all day
Gotta see you 'cause I've been thinking 'bout you
And everyday it's the same
If only I know your game
Ya everyday it's the same
I see that smile on your face
Hope tomorrow I'd have the guts to live
Another day, seeing you walking my way
And everyday it's the same
If only I know your game
Ya everyday it's the same
I see that smile on your face
And heaven knows how good I will be
And if love is blind then I can't see
What you're hiding inside
What you're hiding inside
In the morning I hope I'd think of something
I can't stand it
Another day of nothing
And everyday it's the same
If only I know your game
Ya everyday it's the same
I see that smile on your face
And heaven knows how good I will be
And if love is blind then I can't see
What you're hiding inside
What you're hiding inside
What you're hiding inside

She
She's so innocent
And she's so innocent to me
I'm so undeserving
And I'm so undeserving of her eyes
When she passes my way
I start to realise
That I can't bring myself to sit right by her side
I realise, that...
She
She's so beautiful
And she's so beautiful to me
And I never know what she means to me
And I never know what she means to me
When she passes my way
I start to realise
That I can't bring myself to sit right by her side
I realise, that...
She
She's so beautiful
And she
And she
She's so beautiful to me

Goodbye
03:44
|
|

Oh I’m 25 and still doing things I like
Lost enough to know what I really need to find
Please don’t you stand in my way
I want to go away
Things are getting sad
Never thought it’d be this state
Takes more than a lot of noise
To get them out of bed
Please don’t you stand in my way
I want to go away
Alive I’ll cry
And when I die
I’ll just say goodbye
Deep in the heart of town
There’s a voice that speaks out loud
Of love and a brotherhood
But we’ve never stopped to look
Please don’t you stand in my way
I want to go away
Oh the sight the birds
Flying high above the trees
Makes me want to feel so free
What it’s like to be so free
I want to go away
Please let me fly away
Alive I’ll cry
And when I die
I’ll just say goodbye
Goodbye

Lost My Head

If you say I can’t remember
Who are you
To say I can’t imagine
Who I am
Well I say to you
I lost my head
Well I think I’m dead
Where have I been?
Well I’ve been inside my heart
I’ve been inside my head
I’ve been inside my heart
I see a broken vein
Now I don’t know who I’ve held
See them smiling faces melt
Well you just come and go
Yeah you just come and go
And I lost my head
Well I think I’m dead
Yeah I think I’m dead

Song About Caroline
02:19

I see her there
Waiting for her friend
A chance to brag about her other friends
She would suck Peter Stuyvesant 'til she is satisfied
But not with me
She's such a drag
With her punky front
She would wet the loos of fast food joints
She would call up all the DJs and have some little fun
But not with me
Caroline is an asshole
Caroline is an asshole
Oh yes she is such a joke
In her tight blue jeans
And t-shirt of Sisters of Mercy
Yeah where's my Big Black tape and Sonic Youth
She lost that too
Caroline is an asshole
Caroline is an asshole
And I'm a fool
Oh I'm a fool

So Happy

Watched the news last night
A revolution
Well something’s happening
Do you know about it Mr Jones?
Seen a lot of things
That you wouldn’t see
Well some people think I’m crazy
They just can’t believe
That I’m so happy
I’m so happy
Got a holiday
In the month of May
Got a lot of time to kill
When your love has gone away
Now don’t be blind
To the picture I paint you
‘Cause when you say the word
You’ll know just how I feel
Yeah I’m so happy
I’m so happy
I’m so happy

There's a place that I wanted to go
But I guess I don't want you to know
Where I'm going or hanging out
Why don't you try to find out
All my friends
They find me queer
They shy away, they're never near
I call out loud but do you hear
Maybe I'll live another year
Why's the world so condescending
And the people so demanding
"Sonny boy won't you throw away that knife
'cause I've found a friend who would lend a hand
To just put away your life"
Looking around at the outskirts of town
I got a date but you know I'm still the clown
'Cause I know that it's not love I've found
But you that have brought me underground
Pain is strangling me
Like the roots of my tree
Cab't you see
I just want to be free
There's a place that I wanted to go
But I guess I don't want you to know
Where I'm going or hanging out
Why don't you try to
Why don't you just try to
Why don't you try to find out
