Mania
04:53
|
|||
|
I don’t wanna know about Jesus
I don’t wanna talk about the blaming of the heathens
I don’t really care about a single fucking thing you say
I don’t have a longing for the answers
I don’t have to question all the things you think that matter
Fade into oblivion when I really think about it
Cos it’s mania
You’re drunk from a poisoned cup
They’re just making you
Swallow the whole thing up
I don’t wanna hear about it anymore
Not any of the gods wanna wage war
I don’t wanna listen to a single word
Every time you talk you sound so absurd
I don’t suffer empathy for preachers
You talk like you got so much you can teach us
Visionary, missionary, Virgin Mary, kind of scary
I don’t wanna break it to you gently
I don’t wanna drown inside your stupid horn of plenty
Hate me, make me, you just try and break me
Cos it’s mania
You’re drunk from a poisoned cup
They’re just making you
Swallow the whole thing up
I don’t wanna hear about it anymore
Not any of the gods wanna wage war
I don’t wanna listen to a single word
Every time you talk you sound so absurd
Ma-ma-ma-mania
Ave mania
I don’t wanna know about Jesus
I don’t wanna talk about the blaming of the heathens
I don’t really care about a single fucking thing you say
I don’t really care about it
Cos it’s mania
You’re drunk from a poisoned cup
They’re just making you
Swallow the whole thing up
I don’t wanna hear about it anymore
Not any of the gods wanna wage war
I don’t wanna listen to a single word
Every time you talk you sound so absurd

Butterflies
03:54

Butterflies or something like that in me
A severe weakness in each knee
A total loss for my appetite
I can't manage just a little bite
But I've got a new bounce to my weak-kneed step
I've got a total disregard now for the promises no fucker kept
I'm not looking for the answers anymore
Not now that you've picked my lonely heart up off the floor
Am I what you want?
Am I what you need?
Don't say that I can't
Cos I will not take heed
This is all too much
And this is all a dream
And I can't wake up and I
Can't keep it clean
Well boy I think that you must have been made for me
Cos I'm buzzing round my bedroom like a bumblebee
And just one more sting and I know I'm gonna die
But I don't wanna think about that, I just wanna fly
Am I what you want?
Am I what you need?
Don't say that I can't
Cos I will not take heed
This is all too much
And this is all a dream
And I can't wake up and I
Can't keep it clean
Well, hear me singing all lovey dovey
Hear me singing what have you done to me?
I've got butterflies
Am I what you want?
Am I what you need?
Don't say that I can't
Cos I will not take heed
This is all too much
And this is all a dream
And I can't wake up and I
Can't keep it clean

Fly Me Home
03:24
|
|||
|
The sun hangs low in a winter sky
The buzzard watches from her post
As I'm dreaming of the places I have been
It's the road that leads me home I love the most
And the old radio is broken so I sing a song
That way I'm hoping it won't be too long
Won't you fly me home?
I've been sky-high now I'm done
Cos I know if it's you I'm coming home to
Then tonight will be won
The stars all shine up above me now
Their forecast made up long ago
And all the signs point to dead end towns
But not the ones that I know
And the old radio is broken so I sing a song
That way I'm hoping it won't be too long
Won't you fly me home?
I've been sky-high now I'm done
Cos I know if it's you I'm coming home to
Then tonight will be won
Well I've travelled through the stratosphere
Know that you would do the same for me
And baby in this crazy life
Your guiding light's the only thing I see
Won't you fly me home?
I've been sky-high now I'm done
Cos I know if it's you I'm coming home to
Then tonight will be won

Flowers
02:29

Flowers when you are dead guilty
Flowers when you are dead
When you really want to get the pretty person they'll get (flowers)
All soppy and sweet from them
But Jimmy's flowers, they don't mean a thing
They don't stop his big mouth from talking
Flowers when you are operated on
Flowers when you are sick
When you haven't seen your momma in a while she'll get (flowers)
All proud and cook your favourite
But Jimmy's flowers, they don't mean a thing
They don't stop his big mouth from talking
And once the lies have come and had their day
Jimmy just walks away
Flowers when your show has wowed them
(Flowers) and to wish you luck
Flowers when you're pretty special
(Flowers) and when the words are stuck
But Jimmy's flowers, they don't mean a thing
They don't stop his big mouth from talking
And once the lies have come and had their day
Jimmy just walks away
Jimmy just walks away
Ooh he just walks away
Jimmy just walks away
Ooh he just walks away

Better Place
03:37
|
|||
|
I was stealing away to a better place
I didn’t want to leave any trace
The harrowing tales you were telling me
Got me so sick that I was empty
And every time I hear about this world
Makes me feel smaller than a little girl
My only desire is to find the key
And unlock the warrior inside me
Your big big friends ‘cross the Atlantic
Love you baby and your sycophantic
Personal traits got you making big bucks
Can’t believe people made such a fuss
And every time I think about what you do
Makes me feel like I wanna finish you
My only desire is to find the key
And unlock the warrior inside me
Inside me, inside me
Let me show you a better place
Wanna take you to a better place
Inside me, inside me
Let me show you a better place
Wanna take you to a better place, a better place
Breaking us down with your extremes
So blinded nobody knows what it means
Fighting for survival but you don’t see
Not muscle that you need, it’s changeability
And every time I think about what it takes
It leaves me feeling like my heart’s gonna break
My only desire is to find the key
And unlock the warrior inside me
Inside me, inside me
Let me show you a better place
Wanna take you to a better place
Inside me, inside me
Let me show you a better place
Wanna take you to a better place, a better place
Well, In my better place I don’t see your face
There’s clear water and everyone can have a taste
In my better place nothing goes to waste
Nobody’s sick skinny, everyone can stuff their face
In my better place in my head, everybody gets to sleep in a bed
But it’s all make believe and when I wake up I have to leave it
Inside me, inside me
Let me show you a better place
Wanna take you to a better place
Inside me, inside me
Let me show you a better place
Wanna take you to a better place
Are we just make-believing?
How much green to be deceiving?
What more could we be making?
How much, how much are we breaking?
Are we just make-believing?
How much green to be deceiving?
What more could we be making?
How much, how much are we breaking?
All we know is nothing much, so why bother with your fuck show?
Let me take you to a better place, a better place

End of the Line
04:14
|
|||
|
I’ll take the train ‘til the end of the line
Doesn’t matter where it’s going if it’s on time
I’ll take the train right in front of me
All I really wanna be is getting out of this place on time
How I got into this I’ll never know
I must be foolish, this is a low
I’ve never sunk to
What made me want to?
You tear my heartstrings like a disease
Given me nothing but dishonesty
What made me want to?
From several miles above you
Tell you something, I will never love you
I’ll take the train ‘til the end of the line
Doesn’t matter where it’s going if it’s on time
I’ll take the train right in front of me
All I really wanna be is getting out of this place on time
You take your pleasure in bleeding me dry
It’s recreational, I can see why
Because I let you, oh I let you
And so you throw your sticks and your stones
They rain down on me, all it has shown
Is that I let you, oh I let you
Know for certain I will never forget you
I’ll take the train ‘til the end of the line
Doesn’t matter where it’s going if it’s on time
I’ll take the train right in front of me
All I really wanna be is getting out of this place on time.
Oh god where have you been all night?
Won’t you lay down your silver light?
If you come good I’ll pray for all my life
I know I would but you know that I lie
You know that I lie
I’ll take the train ‘til the end of the line
Doesn’t matter where it’s going if it’s on time
I’ll take the train right in front of me
All I really wanna be is getting out of this place on time.

Tell Me Another Story
02:56
|
|||
|
Say you don’t believe there can be only one
So that must mean that we’re just having fun
What’s going to happen when you’ve had your day?
Do I just stand here, watch you walk away?
Tell me another story with a better ending
Tell me you made it all up, you were pretending
Tell me I’m fine and down the line
You won’t hang me out to dry
Tell me another story where we get to shine
Poor jealous me, I want you to myself
Effortlessly my heart begins to melt
Into a pool of fire, I’m burning through and through
Wishing my days could all be spent with you
Tell me another story with a better ending
Tell me you made it all up, you were pretending
Tell me I’m fine and down the line
You won’t hang me out to dry
Tell me another story where we get to shine
Ooh baby I’ve been driving myself crazy over you
Heartbroken, I’m smoking enough cigarettes for two
Terrified, look at my eyes, they are red, white and blue
Knowing any minute soon you’re gonna do what you have to do
Tell me another story with a better ending
Tell me you made it all up, you were pretending
Tell me I’m fine and down the line
You won’t hang me out to dry
Tell me another story where we get to shine

Dream Come True
03:03
|
|||
|
I’m at your home
Standing in your front yard
Where to go?
Maybe I’ve been too hard
I don’t want another
I want you to fight, but you say
“Love!
I tell you it’s a dream come true
It’s a dream come true
It’s a dream come true
Love!
I tell you it’s a dream come true”
But I don’t want this to be it
I hear your call
How hard it is to make time?
I have to fold
We are so alike right?
“Love!
I tell you it’s a dream come true
It’s a dream come true
It’s a dream come true”
I don’t want another
I want you to fight, but you say
“Love!
I tell you it’s a dream come true
It’s a dream come true
It’s a dream come true”
But I don’t want this to be it

If You Loved Me Too
04:24
|
|||
|
Where have you been hiding these last few days?
Somewhere more exciting? Somewhere like outer space?
Did you turn your back on me like I thought you would?
Knew you were bad for me, knew you were up to no good
Every day now, that sword runs true
Guess that wouldn’t happen if you loved me too
You tore me apart like a rag doll, now you’ve thrown me aside
So temperamental, god knows how you’ve lied
I’ve been hearing bad things and I wish they weren’t true
Wasn’t I nothing, nothing but easy on you?
Every day now, that sword runs true
Guess that wouldn’t happen if you loved me too
Now the love that you have faked has bound me to hate
There’s a price on your head now
When you leave things too long the weak become strong
I’m mighty and I’m powerful a-how
Gonna tear you apart, rip out your heart
Show you just how that feels
When you leave things too long the weak become strong
I’m mighty and I’m powerful and I’m plotting your downfall
Everyday now I am hating you
Guess that wouldn’t happen if you loved me too
Every day I am hating you
Guess that wouldn’t matter if you loved me too
Every day that sword runs true
Guess that wouldn’t happen if you loved me too

When The Rain Comes Down
04:15
|
|||
|
I sent a dove so you’d know
I still think about you daily
Pure and white like your love
For all I know it didn’t make it
For all I know you turned it away
Only when the rain comes down
Do I ever think about
All the things I should have said
Memories running through my head
But only when the rain comes down
The stories whirl, they’re all the same
I never meant to but you made me
We lined them up, we made them pay
I heard you found a good one lately
I heard you might have broken away
Only when the rain comes down
Do I ever think about
All the things I should have said
Memories running through my head
But only when the rain comes down
Better to have loved and lost
Good that we went our own ways
Too proud to beg for each other to stay
Only when the rain comes down
Do I ever think about
All the things I should have said
Memories running through my head
But only when the rain comes down

When I Was Young
03:18
|
|||
|
When I was a child I didn’t know I was a girl
I did not understand the weight of the world
Thought I’d go further than I ever did
Got disillusioned by the untalented
When I was young you couldn’t hold me down
When I was young I took the crown
Money and possessions never bothered me
I became a girl and now they worry me plenty
When I was young you couldn’t hold me down
When I was young I took the crown
When I was young nothing could get me
When I was young I was chasing dreams
When I was young I had all the melodies
When I was young, when I was young
Do I have to let it be?
Woah is this me?
Oh, how to get there?
I’ve got to get back
Woah I’ve got to learn to be free
When I was young nothing could get me
When I was young I was chasing dreams
When I was young I had all the melodies
When I was young, when I was young

Kiss & Tell
03:11

|
Oh my heart can tell no lie
Kiss me when I dare to try
Oh my heart is strong and true
Eyes of fire, eyes of green and blue
They hold onto me and they talk so tall
Ooh, yeah they talk so tall
I sold my soul to someone I knew
Did it because they told me to
And they wake me up with tales so tall
I think that I must have heard them all
They hold onto me and they talk so tall
Mmm, and they talk so tall
They talk, they talk, yeah they talk so tall
Ooh, yeah they talk so tall
Oh my heart can tell no lie
Kiss me when I dare to try
Oh my heart is strong and true
Eyes of fire, eyes of green and blue
They hold onto me and they talk so tall
Mmm, yeah they talk so tall
They talk, they talk, yeah they talk so tall
Mmm, yeah they talk so tall
