Now that I find that I am looking at you Know what's on my mind but then that's nothing new Sharing two hearts with separate minds Creating a love that is open and kind And it's fine All the time I know your mine That's alright It is so easy to be misunderstood Wanting to fit in but if only you could Find a new place and a space and a time Rewarded with milk and of honey and wine I know you know Our love will see it through I know you know My love will take you to I know you know t That it shows And it flows Our love just grows Don't you know? See it half empty while I see it full I may be many things and certainly dull Getting to know you is enough to inspire This relationship is based on desire And it's fine All the time I know your mine That's alright If you're a grown up a child at will Once through the angry stage and twice through the mill All this security and nothing to guard Inside it's burning and that's really hot I know you know Our love will see it through I know you know My love will take you to I know you know That it shows And it flows Our love just grows Don't you know? I know you know Our love will see it through I know you know My love will take you to I know you know Our love will see it through I know you know My love will take you to

How was I to know that they would give the rights to those who should have died? Feeling like a stranger in a town that was once richly filled with pride I can see what's coming so why is it that I live amongst the blind? Fearing for my children unaware of their own innocence to fight Hunger in my eyes Hunger but I will not sleep tonight Hunger in my eyes Hunger but I will not sleep tonight Have you ever wondered why the squirrels that were red have gone away? Taken over in their natural habitat by those who wear the grey 'Oh what's in a colour?' you say 'hey those reds were useless anyway' Tell that to my children unaware of their own innocence this day Hunger in my eyes Hunger but I will not sleep tonight Hunger in my eyes Hunger but I will not sleep tonight Hunger in my eyes Hunger but I will not sleep tonight Hunger in my eyes Hunger but I will not sleep tonight

Demons 04:00
Put on a smile, put on a face Open doors, greet the human race No one knows what goes on inside No one knows what's on my mind Push yourself to take that step Short of breath, a mind attack Do we close the door and retreat? Demons back, don't accept defeat Demons in my head Messing with my mind Demons in my head Making me blind Demons in my head Make me scream and shout Demons in my head Got to get them out Demons in my head Messing with my mind Demons in my head Making me blind Demons in my head Make me scream and shout Demons in my head Got to get them out A little voice can send you mad A little pill can make you glad Look ahead and still be strong Prove the demons that they are wrong Positive thoughts, make them last Soon the voice is in the past Know one day they'll be back again Take you back to where it began Demons in my head Messing with my mind Demons in my head Making me blind Demons in my head Make me scream and shout Demons in my head Got to get them out Demons in my head Messing with my mind Demons in my head Making me blind Demons in my head Make me scream and shout Demons in my head Got to get them out

Eyes to see you again Time to share till the end Bond that will never say goodbye Wings of a golden butterfly Mine, can't ever let go Yours to fight every foe Love's the eternal battle cry Wings of a golden butterfly

Feels so right when we're together And the light fades out when it's not even late Come to grips with the all and the never Come to terms with the big mistake Give the oath that we'll never be parted Take the cake of ambivalent whores Find the path where the medicine started Being together Being together Being together, living forever Mystic times hold unspoken pleasure But you can't be sure of your ancestors' fate Dreaming around the unconscious story But it's all too much in any old case The secret is hidden so why should we bother Take your time to negotiate In the end it's all academic because Being together Being together Being together, living forever Being together Being together Being together, living forever

They say that school days are the best of your life But how can you believe them They give you a pension, a job and a wife But how can you deceive them Only a question of imaginary time Ask for me, ask for me When you are waiting and holding the knife Then you'll see, oh then you'll see Life, it is short and it's hard But it's a terrible thing When you're locked in the dark An illogical thing Here and now from the heart Nothing to do Life, it is short and it's hard But it's a terrible thing When your nightmare's a part Of an every day thing Here and now from the heart Escape to a high Never content with the best that you can Want to be, want to be Watching your peers coming through second hand Got to be a parody It's all an illusion, a parallel time Cannot see reality Mounting frustration but then in the end There's nothing you can ever do Life, it is short and it's hard But it's a terrible thing When you're locked in the dark An illogical thing Here and now from the heart Nothing to do Life, it is short and it's hard But it's a terrible thing When your nightmare's a part Of an every day thing Here and now from the heart Escape to a high Life, it is short and it's hard But it's a terrible thing When you're locked in the dark An illogical thing Here and now from the heart Nothing to do Life, it is short and it's hard But it's a terrible thing When your nightmare's a part Of an every day thing Here and now from the heart Escape to a high

Living the truth, I'm not living a lie Having no doubts on the day that I die No need to make sense of the world that I see All that I ask is you understand me What did they use to wash your brain? It's easy to convert the clinically insane How many wars have you caused? Don't cry when it knocks on your door You only live once You only live once You only live once You only live once Don't believe in God or Nostredamus, Weird death cults or even karma This fairy tale makes it seem Like half the world are off their trees I may be right, I may be wrong But having one life makes you strong Sorry to break the news to you Life's a myth, you know it's true You only live once You only live once You only live once You only live once The reason for life is in the sky It smiles on you, it always shines Let me think. Do I have this right? Wasting your time when you pray at night Who do you think you are? You see, Preaching lies won't impress me Deep down I think you know you're wrong Think of that when you sing your songs You only live once You only live once You only live once You only live once You only live once You only live once You only live once You only live once

You might be breathing But your life's not worth living Our Earth is turning And the Sun keeps on burning Reality weeps on the forest floor Excitements reaches under your door And what is more The clock is chiming To its exquisite timing These words are rhyming But my songs aren't exciting Humanity eats into the overture Everyone keeps on looking for a final cure And what is more Oh oh oh oh You're not the one Oh oh oh oh Innocence gone What can you ever do To make up for your silly fools? We made some outtakes But the rerun's for your sakes The butterfly cup cakes Hide a family of pure fakes How can it ever be the lonely chores? A time of reaching into my obscure And what is more Oh oh oh oh You're not the one Oh oh oh oh Innocence gone What can you ever do To make up for your silly fools? Oh oh oh oh You're not the one Oh oh oh oh Innocence gone What can you ever do To make up for your silly fools?

There's no beating in your heart There's no loving on your part Things went downhill from the start No kind feelings Only mistrust Expectations were too high Turning water into wine Way you treat me is a crime Warm emotions Break into dust You play your games I don't know what to say Every day my heart breaks I can't live this way Crime of the heart You played your part You were always so hard on me This heart of stone Left you all alone You were always so hard on me Crime of the heart Of the heart I am blind But you can see Crime of the heart Of the heart So unkind But you can't see Living is so hard Life's marred Left scarred Living is so hard Living is so hard Life's marred Left scarred Living is so so hard I'll recover given time Forget you were ever mine Feel the Sun and see it shine Save love for more than Mere lust Find someone who's true to me Wipe you from my memory Happiness deservedly No more silly games That's a must You play your games I don't know what to say Every day my heart breaks I can't live this way Crime of the heart You played your part You were always so hard on me This heart of stone Left you all alone You were always so hard on me Crime of the heart Of the heart I am blind But you can see Crime of the heart Of the heart So unkind But you can't see Living is so hard Life's marred Left scarred Living is so hard Living is so hard Life's marred Left scarred Living is so so hard

Hey Mister! 01:11
Hey Mister Where are you going? Hey Mister What are you showing? Can we sign up to see? Hey sister Living in my town Hey sister Wearing a sweet gown Under an apple tree Ooh baby Why don't you come round? Ooh baby Don't want to let you down Why's this happening to me?

Bonnie 00:47
Bonnie She is my baby And I love her I need to hold her Oh Bonnie She is my angel And when I hold her near One thing becomes clear I'm going to kiss her Bonnie She is my pumpkin And I miss her When I'm not with her Oh Bonnie She is my daughter And one thing that I know I'll never let her go She is my little girl

A spoilt only child It's all about yourself Never wanted to work Fed off your daddy's wealth Using people For your own end A laugh, a smile Pretend to be your friend Give an inch And he'll take a mile His second face On speed dial A stab in the back I mean no harm Telling lies Is all part of the charm You're a two-faced son of a gun Always on the take For number one Two-faced son of a gun You'll never change What you've become Now you sit In your nice big house Sponging a living From your spouse She fell for the face The deceit that you share If she knew the real you Do you think she'd care? You're a two-faced son of a gun Always on the take For number one Two-faced son of a gun You'll never change What you've become Many more Will fall for the lies Many more Will come to despise At least we left it All behind Not having to deal With you and your kind You're a two-faced son of a gun Always on the take For number one Two-faced son of a gun You'll never change What you've become You're a two-faced son of a gun Always on the take For number one Two-faced son of a gun You'll never change What you've become
