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

Breach 02:46
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?

Unity Song 02:52
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

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 02:25
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

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 02:50
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
