To Love Somebody
5:48
There’s a light Lived with you You don’t know what it’s like, baby To love somebody In my brain I’m a man, can’t you see
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be lived with you
There’s a way everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain’t got you, ain’t got?
You don’t know what it’s like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain’t got to be so blind
And I’m blind, so very blind
What I am
I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain’t got you, ain’t got ?

Rose-Coloured Glasses
4:28
She sees the world through rose-coloured glasses She takes my hand and leads me to nowhere town And it’s day after day She sees the world through rose-coloured glasses And it’s day after day Day after day after day after day
Painted skies and graceful romances
I see a world that’s tired and scared
Of living on the edge too long
Where does she get off telling me
That love could save us all
Save us all
No matter where I stand it’s always neutral ground
And in the cool of the evening blue
I feel so tired and alone
Where does she get off telling me
That love could save us all
Save us all
I keep hanging around can you tell me why
Night after night I know I should leave
But there’s something in those eyes
That keeps me hanging on I’m hypnotised
It breaks my heart and I don’t know why
Tell me why, tell me why
Painted skies and graceful romances
See a world that’s tired and scared
Of living on the edge too long
Where does she get off telling me
That love could save us all
I keep hanging around can you tell me why
Night after night yeah
I know I should leave
But there’s something
And I don’t know
Day after day after day after day
And I don’t know why

Try
4:00
Don’t tell me I’m wrong Every time you walk in the room Night after night – oh it’s crazy So many people who said Every time you walk in the room Night after night – oh it’s crazy Every time you walk in the room Night after night – oh it’s crazy
Cause I’ve been watching every move that you make
Hearts you steal with your make-up and heels
Trouble for the men that you take
I couldn’t even be sure of a smile
You were never the same way twice
But I’m falling in love
Girl you’ve got nothing but time
Oh you are a shining star
Don’t you worry about what you’re leaving behind
I couldn’t even be sure of a smile
You were never the same way twice
But I’m falling in love
Oh you got to try try try
Don’t you know you’ve got to try try try
Oh baby you try
I couldn’t even be sure of a smile
You were never the same way twice
I’m falling in love
Oh you got to try try try
Don’t you know you’ve got to try try try
Oh baby you try

Diamond Mine
8:08
You say the party’s over You say you don’t love me ‘Cause when I look into your eyes Nothing’s as obvious as what is lost And I hear all these rumours about you ‘Cause when I look into your eyes
But like a drunken fool
I never know when to leave
It’s just that in the eyes of this beholder
You mean everything to me
You talk about the other boys
And you laugh in my face
But I know when you’re feeling sad and lonely
No other boy can take my place
Our love shines
Our love shines
Like a diamond mine
Nothings’ as painful as the cost
So let it shine
Let it shine
Yea the trash lines up at my door just to bring me the news
But all it does is make me kind of wonder
Why are people so eager to be so cruel
Our love shines
Our love shines
Our love shines
Like a diamond mine

Til I Am Myself Again
4:00
I want to know where my confidence went Daytime’s a drag, nighttime’s worse I want to go There’s a seat on the corner I keep every night There are nights full of anger I know it’s time I had a dream that my house was on fire I don’t need a doctor to figure it out I want to go I know I can’t stay
One day it all disappeared
And I’m lying in a hotel room miles away
Voices next door in my ear
Hope that I can get home soon
But the half-finished bottles of inspiration
Lie like ghosts in my room
I know I can’t stay
But I don’t want to run
Feeling this way
Til I am myself
Til I am myself
Til I am myself again
Wait til the evening begins
I feel like a stranger from another world
But at least I’m living again
Words that are thrown
Tempers that are shattered and thin
And the moments of magic, are just too short
They’re over before they begin
One big step
I can’t go
I’m not ready yet
Til I am myself
Til I am myself
Til I am myself again
People laughed while it burned
I tried to run but my legs were numb
I had to wait til the feeling returned
I know what’s passing me by
When I look in the mirror
Sometimes I see traces of some other guy
But I don’t want to run
Feeling this way
Til I am myself
Til I am myself
Til I am myself again

Trust Yourself
3:34
Someday soon You know that it’s true You waste your time Now you’ll have to run Someday soon Here it comes again
I don’t know when
Your little world
Will come crashing in
Don’t think twice
I’ll be around
Turn your back
Someone’s gonna let you down
Nobody led you on
They left that to you
Now you’ll be alone
When the sun comes up
With your tattered little dreams
And a broken cup
Then you’ll have to
Trust yourself
And don’t believe in anymore lies
Think too much
Really make a mess
Of the things you touch
Poor little bird
With a broken wing
Better look around now
You know you’re losing everything
It’s just a game
Thought you had it all lined up
But somehow that’s changed
And not get caught
And you’ll have to hide
If you like it or not
Then you’ll have to
Trust yourself
And don’t believe in anymore lies
And it won’t be long
You’ll ring the bell
But they’ll all be gone
They took your jewels
And your statues too
Left you with a pile of things
You never learned how to use
You showed us where it all began
Well here’s where it ends
And you’ll be alone
When the sun comes up
Tattered little dreams
And a broken cup
Then you’ll have to trust yourself
And don’t believe in anymore
Trust yourself
And don’t believe in anymore
Trust yourself
And don’t believe in anymore lies

Lost Together
5:14
Strange and beautiful And I want all the world to know I stand before this faceless crowd I’ve heard it all so many times before In the silence of this whispered night And I want all the world to know
Are the stars tonight
That dance around your head
In your eyes I see that perfect world
I hope that doesn’t sound too weird
That your love’s all I need
All that I need
And if we’re lost
Then we are lost together
Yea if we’re lost
Then we are lost together
And I wonder why I bother
So much controlled by so few
Stumbling from one disaster to another
It’s all a dream to me now
A dream to me now
And if we’re lost
Then we are lost together
Yea if we’re lost
Then we are lost together
I listen only to your breath
And that second of a shooting star
Somehow it all makes sense
That your love’s all I need
All that I need
And if we’re lost
Then we are lost together
Yea if we’re lost
Then we are lost together

5 Days In May
7:10
They met in a hurricane Somehow they stayed that way Sometimes the world begins Looking back it’s hard to tell Sometimes the world begins
Standing in the shelter out of the rain
She tucked a note into his hand
Later on they took his car
Drove on down where the beaches are
He wrote her name in the sand
Never even let go of her hand
For those 5 days in May
Made all the stars around them shine
Funny how you can look in vain
Living on nerves and such sweet pain
The loneliness that cuts so fine
To find the face you’ve seen a thousand times
To set you up on your feet again
It wipes the tears from your eyes
How will you ever know
The way that circumstances go
Always going to hit you by surprise
I know my past
You were there
In everything I’ve done
You are the one
Why they stood while others fell
Spend your life working it out
All I know is one cloudy day
They both just ran away
Rain on the windshield heading South
She loved the lines around his mouth
To set you up on your feet again
It wipes the tears from your eyes
How will you ever know
The way that circumstances go
Always going to hit you by surprise
I know my past
You were there
In everything
I’ve done
You are the one

Hasn't Hit Me Yet
5:11
You say that you’re leaving Yea this ain’t nothing new to me Hey hey I guess it hasn’t hit me yet I never thought this could happen Hey hey I guess it hasn’t hit me yet Hey hey I guess it hasn’t hit me yet And out in the middle of Lake Ontario Of my heart
Well that comes as no surprise
Still I kinda like this feeling
Of being left behind
Well it’s just like going home
It’s kinda like those sunsets
That leave you feeling so stoned
I fell through this crack
And I kinda lost my head
I stand transfixed
Before this streetlight
Watching the snow fall
On this cold December night
But somehow the feeling is gone
You got sick of the patterns
And I got lost in this song
I fell through this crack
And I kinda lost my head
I stand transfixed
Before this streetlight
Watching the snow fall
On this cold December night
I fell through this crack
And I kinda lost my head
I stand transfixed
Before this streetlight
Watching the snow fall
On this cold December night
The same snow is falling
On the deep silent water
The great dark wonder
Into the waves of my heart
Into the waves of my heart

Bad Timing
5:03
Hey it’s me what a big surprise It’s been awhile since I talked to you I never meant to make you cry Maybe soon there’ll come a day We used to have so many plans I never meant to make you cry Maybe soon there’ll come a day
Calling you up from a restaurant
Around the bend
I just got in from way up North
I’m aching tired now
And I could use a friend
I might be a fool
To think that you do
Want to see me again
Nothing wrong
Just nothing ever goes as planned
Many times I thought I’d call
I didn’t have your number in my hand
I know it’s true
You’d never do
The same thing to me
And though I know I shouldn’t call
It just reminds us of the cost
Of everything we’ve lost
Bad timing that’s all
When no more tears will fall
If we each forgive a little bit
And we both look back on it
As just bad timing that’s all
Something always seemed to turn out wrong
I never could catch up to you
Moving on and doing what you’ve done
I don’t know why
The harder I try
The harder it comes
And though I know I shouldn’t call
It just reminds us of the cost
Of everything we’ve lost
Bad timing that’s all
When no more tears will fall
If we each forgive a little bit
When we both look back on it
Just bad timing that’s all

Dark Angel
5:18
I met this girl My dark angel The rumours of heaven So Colorado ‘Cause there is this face I know
She’s walking through one of my dreams
She kissed my eyes
And everything that she said
Made so much sense to me
That I still feel like I’m half asleep
She gave me diamonds for eyes
She walked by
Now I’m hypnotised
By this dream
That just won’t stop
And I feel
Like I’ve always been lost in this dream
Only speed the truth on earth
My dark angel
Shine your light on my curse
You are the other that I have to find
Until I do
I guess I’ll see you ’round my mind
Is a place I have to go
I heard a rumour
She loves the mountains and the snow
My dark angel
She gave me diamonds for eyes
My dark angel
I offer you my heart
My dark angel I think I loved you from the start
That I’ve never seen
Sometimes I feel I’m living in
Someone else’s dream
Still I’d like to thank you
For stopping to talk
And I wonder
Just into who’s dream did who walk
Oh my dark angel
Shine your light on me
Shine your light
Shine your light
Shine your light on me

Side Of The Road
6:05
I pulled over to the side of the road And your eyes they were in my mind I started singing this song in my head And your eyes they were in my mind I walked across this farmer’s field And your eyes they were in my mind I’m gonna hold on to you to you
I was feeling kind of sad
I was feeling kind of blue
I walked across this farmer’s field
And I looked up to the blue-white sky
And I just want to hold on to you
Yeah your eyes they were in my mind
And I just want to hold on to you
Just because the sun was high shining bright
And I could smell the fresh cut grass
As I looked up to the blue-white sky
And I just want to hold on to you
Yeah your eyes they were in my mind
And I just want to hold on to you
I’m gonna hold on to you
And I looked up into the blue-white sky
I started singing this song in my head
Just because the sun was high
And I just want to hold on to you
Yeah your eyes they were in my mind
And I just want to hold on to you
I’m gonna hold on to you

It Could Happen To You
4:35
They broke off the locks and they opened the doors When you see trouble So you brought in the army to do your job Oh my heart is sinking It could happen to you You really got to wonder why you did it for Oh my heart is sinking It could happen to you
Fixed up the windows and painted the floors
Grew a little garden outside in the rust and sand
Raised up the roof till it touched the sky
Picked up the pieces that were left to die
Brought this building back with a healing hand
You’re bound to move in on the double
You leave your mark upon everything
In your head those Liberty Bells still ring
But we know that you don’t even mean
A thing you say
Kicking in doors and swinging their clubs
Back in the morning to watch themselves on the news
You’re doing the bidding of the money man
If it turns out right they’ll call you friend
One little favour how could you really refuse?
Same old useless worn out thinking
You live your life in the court of kings
Bow to the ruler and kiss the ring
But we don’t even understand a thing you say
It could happen to you
It could happen to you sometime
When you least expect it
Done by the ones that you never suspected
All your bills come due
It could happen to you
Cause you don’t need an army
To move out the poor
You brought it out once I know
You could bring it again
Same old useless worn out thinking
Live your life in the court of kings
Count your money as the Raven sings
Safe and sound when the wrecking ball swings
But all your riches won’t mean a thing someday
It could happen to you
It could happen to you

After The Rain
6:43
If I had my way If I was a train One day What do you want me to do It’s time for a change One day
I would never go back
With my back to the wall
I just let myself fall
Watch the days turn black
But now and again I find
You cross my mind
I would never slow down
With my head in the sky
And the world going by
Every nowhere town
As I write one more letter to you
I know I can’t change the things that I do
You will discover
Just why I ran
Ran away from you lover
I know I’m to blame
I feel so ashamed
Call out your name
After the rain
I’ve thrown away everything for you
I’ve wasted my dreams
Each day it seems
I’m losing my way back to you
What else can I do
The clock ticking time
I better make up my mind
Is it me or is it you
Tonight as I’m losing control
I will drink to the queen of my soul
You will discover
Just why I ran
Ran away from you lover
I know I’m to blame
I feel so ashamed
Call out your name
After the rain
