Losing A Friend
You're losing a friend
You got it all wrong
It's not about revenge
But you're losing a friend
I didn't see it coming
With my head stuck in the sand
But now I'm losing a friend
And it's keeping me up
It's the ribbons I tied
I would rather just die
Go to heaven crawl back
Than let you go
You're losing a friend
You jeopardize me
Bad bad blood on your hands
And see you're losing a friend
I'm fickle and I'm vain
And you tricked me over and over again
And now I'm losing you
And it's killing me
It's the strings that I tie
I would rather just die
Go to heaven and crawl back
Than let it all by
My mistake..to lose you
Oh no.. Oh no..
So this is the end now
I'm losing you
Oh.. Look at you
Look what you're wasting.
You're losing a friend
Oh no.. Oh no..
I'm losing a friend.
Oh oh oh no..
Godspell
i heard about a great big swindle
i read about it in a book
the book flew out the window
was later found by geeks and crooks
now theyre singing hallelujah
i wondering just what did they find
they said eh what's it to yah
just take a place in line
and wait, so i wait
i wait, and wait and i...
i'n one of a few survivors
and a drawer labeled lost and found
though troubled and some deep sea divers
whos oxygens are pouring out
now maybe if their gods be willin
they'll give us something to fill our empty cups
sit down in the boat dont spill it
or we'll just have to line back up
and wait, so we wait
we wait and wait yes we wait
and we wait
we can wait
we will wait till we...
guitar solo rawr
you can hear it in the beat they march to
you can feel the earth shake when they start to dance
you can tell by the way they move you
its not murder its an act of faith baby
and as the world moves faster
whip lashing us around and round
its quite a slow disaster
and people keep on falling down
yes we wait, we wait
and we wait
we wait
and we wait
we wait
Drip Drop Teardrop
I'm gonna watch you
while you get me wrong
I'm gonna sing
until you hate this song
I'm gonna tell you
in my sweetest voice
I'm gonna choose you
'cause you have no choice
This funny thing we got
Is never gonna stop. Oh no!
I'm gonna take you
to the wilderness
I'm gonna show you
things you might have missed
I'm gonna kiss the parts
that you have lost
It's gonna cost you
but you might hurt less
This funny thing we got
Is never gonna stop
until we drip drop tear drop
I'm gonna work
til we get it on
I'm gonna love you
till we get alone
and when your ears and your eyes are sored
I'm gonna love you just a little bit more
It's funny thing we got
It's never gonna stop
until we drip drop tear drop
Overload
took a long time to mend
took a long time to make amends
funny how the story goes
strip a man bare and burn his clothes
time is all i crave
it comes in waves
i will be here until i drown
system's on overload
goes to bed warm but wakes up cold
what a bloody cross to bare
time on my hands but i don't care
days are all the same
they wax and wane
i will be here until i drown
time is all i crave
it comes in waves
i will be here until i drown
days are all the same
they wax and wane
i will be here until i drown
time is all i crave
it comes in waves
i will be here until i drown
I Need Some Fine Wine And You, You Need To Be Nicer
Sit, good dog, stay, bad dog, down, roll over
Well here's a good man and a pretty young girl
Trying to play together somehow,
I'm wasting my life, you're changing the world,
I get drunk and watch your head grow
It's the good times that we share
and the bad times that we'll have
It's the good times
and the bad times that we had
Well it's been a long slow collision,
I'm a pitbull, you're a dog,
Baby you're foul in clear conditions
But you're handsome in the fog
So I need some fine wine, and you, you need to be nicer
For the good times and the bad times
That we'll have
Sometimes we talk over dinner like old friends
Till I go and kill the bottle,
I go off over any old thing,
Break your heart
and raise a glass or ten
To the good times that we shared and the bad times that we'll have
To the good times
and the bad time that we've had
Well it's been a long slow collision,
I'm a pitbull, you're a dog,
Baby you're foul in clear conditions
But you're handsome in the fog
So I need some fine wine and you, you need to be nicer
For the good times
and the bad times we know will come
Yeah
I need some fine wine
and you, you need to be nicer
you need to be nicer
you need
For the good times
and the bad time that we had
Sit
Good times, bad times
Sweet wine, bad wine
Good cop, bad cop,
Lapdog, bad dog
Sit.
Don't Blame Your Daughter (Diamonds)
Don't blame your daughter
that's just sentimental
and don't blame your mom
for all that you've done wrong
Your dad is not guilty
you came out a little faulty
and the factory closed
so you can't hold them liable
You come from an island,
you're cutting diamonds
with a rubbery knife
Your autograph is worthless
so don't send me letters
and don't mail me cash
'cause your money is no good
What's left in your matress
is holes and lack of love left
some hair from a horse,
and none of it is yours, man
You come from an island,
you're cutting diamonds
with a rubbery knife
And the song you sing today
wasn't always in your head,
the words you tryin' to say
are the ones you shouldn't 've said
they're glistenin' like diamonds,
go out and find' em
but don't blame your daughter
Read me your tombstone,
tell me you're sorry, fax me your will,
you owe me something still
Blood is like water
the bath that you poured me
has drained and it's gone,
don't blame it on your son
And the song you sing today
wasn't always in your head,
the words you tryin' to say
are the ones you shouldn't 've said
they're glistening like diamonds,
go out and find'em
The world is full of diamonds
go out and find'em
but don't blame your daughter
Little Black Cloud
I've wandered around with nothing more than time on my hands
I was lost in the night with no sight of you
And at times it was so blue and lonely
Heading for the light
Been close to the edge, hanging by my fingernails
I've rolled and I've tumbled through the roses and the thorns
And I couldn't see the sign that warned me, I'm
Heading for the light
Ooh - I didn't see that big black cloud hanging over me
And when the rain came down I was nearly drowned
I didn't know the mess I was in
My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway
I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change
And I get the strangest feeling, as I'm
Heading for the light
Ooh - my hands were tired
Jokers and fools on either side
But still I kept on till the worst had gone
Now I see the hole I was in
My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway
I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change
And I get the strangest feeling, as I'm
Heading for the light
I see the sun ahead, I ain't never looking back
All the dreams are coming true as I think of you
Now there's nothing in the way to stop me
Heading for the light
Now there's nothing in the way to stop me
Heading for the light
In The Round
I am young and I'm alive
I want to talk about things
I am young and I own my life
I need to talk about it, baby
I am one but I asked for two
I didn't get anything
This puppet's lonely without you
It's tough to walk without strings
I do my dance in the round
I'm right on track but this state is frail
You slip out and derail
I do my dance in the round
So people clap your hands
Clap your hands
I wanna do it right this time
I wanna step in time
I wanna do it right this time, yeah!
Clap your hands
I gotta get get it right this time
I wanna step in time
I wanna do it right this time
I do my dance in the round
I am young, coming at you live
People gonna talk about me
When I'm done, please hang me high
For everybody to see
Cause I do my dance in the round
So people clap your hands
I wanna get it right
I'm dyin'to get it right
I wanna get it right
I'm dyin'to get it right
Holy Love
We wait for love to come
We'll all go down
We'll take our turns
We walk across
A new born world
All will wait for us
All will wait for us
I sail along your shore
I broke you then
I'll break some more
All will wait for us
All will wait for us
The ship is turning over now
We're trying to hold it up
Just one more time tonight
I feel all right
Been turning on that very point
You ought to stay anyway
Don't you wanna bring holy love today
Don't you wanna pray
Oh, no, yeah, all gunned down
Hold your tears
Oh don't you break my very own life
Hate, pulling me down
You will walk, you will walk
Hot tears coming down hard
The pain inside
Don't you hate
Cause I know you
We just walk, we just walk
All will wait for us
All will wait for us
Good Morning Joan
Good morning Joan
Now pick up your phone
It was bad but just a dream
And you are remembered
Put on something pretty
Go back to the city
In town the sky's just space
No star light in your face
Listen to Eve
she's got stuff up her sleeve
to her there's no excuse
You use before you get used
Or talk to Louise
she knows all about treason
She got lost in Early May
And now it's December
I'd call on you if I could
If you were less like me, I would
Good morning Joan
did you wake up alone
Did you dream you woke up happy
With a phone book full of names
Just Forget about Mary
She says everything's scary
she got locked inside her skin
Get near her, she'll drag you in
I'd call on you if I could
If you were less like me, I would
Save you from this, if I could
If I were less like you, God knows I would
Save you from this, there is always shit
But you're all just like me so I quit
My name is yours
Can I sleep on your floor
See my heroes changed their minds
And I lost my numbers
And Then You Kissed Me (Part 2)
Man, I've had a few
but they wouldn't quite blow me like you
you gave me your name and signed
with a halo around my eye
And it hit me like never before
that love is a powerful force
yes, it struck me that love is a sport
so I pushed you a little bit more
Love, you're news to me
you're a little bit more than I thought you'd be
a mole in my well-fed lawn
you're a nightmare beating the dawn
Oh, it hit me like never before
that love is a powerful force
yes, it struck me that love is sport
so I pushed you a little bit more
Blue, blue, black and blue
red blood sticks like glue
true love is cruel love
red blood's a power-fuel
sweet love, tasty blood
my heart overfloods
Oh you hit me!
Yeah, you hit me really hard
man, you hit me!
yeah you hit me right in the heart
Lord, I've had my deal
but I never quite knew how it feels
when love makes you wake up sore
with fists that are ready for more
And it hit me that love is a game
like in war no one can be blamed
yes, it struck me that love is a sport
so I pushed you a little bit more
Oh, blue, blue, black and blue
red blood sticks like glue
true love is cruel love
red blood's a power fuel
sweet love tasted blood
my heart overfloods
Man, you hit me!
Yeah you hit me really hard
baby, you hit me!
Yeah you punched me right in the heart
and then you kissed me
And then you hit me
And then you kissed me
And then you hit me
Oh, you haunt me with your violent heartbeat at night
oh, you strike me with your silence baby, tonight
why you haunt me with your violence baby, come hit me!
You haunt me with your violent heartbeat

Give Me Your Eyes
Oh girl, look at yourself
What have you done?
What have you become?
Well, I couldn't say
Slow down and think of your heart
Where do you go?
How how am I supposed to know
I'm always looking away
Give me your eyes
So I can see me straight
Give me your eyes
I can't tell night from day
Give me your eyes
So I can see me straight
Give me your eyes
And watch me walk away
yeah, yeah
I took a look at myself
Nothing inside
Except cigarettes and wine
Where there should be a life
You've been watching me for a while
And you like what you see
It's in the eyes of the beholder
Now give them to me
(Chorus... Give me your eyes)
Oh, mirror mirror on the wall
Mirror mirror made no reply
Mirror went black and cracked
From side to side
Oh girl, look at yourself
What have you done?
What have you become
you know the camera don't lie
(Chorus... Give me your eyes)
Slow
Slow, slow, slow
There is something you need to know
There's a feeling I don't understand
Here it comes again
Glow, glow, glow
There was love ten seconds ago
In it's place, now a tiny pain
It comes again
There'll be rain on our wedding day
And the chapel will be mud and clay
There'll be rain on our wedding day
Gray be the sky
I don't know why
Slow, slow, slow
Easy come and easy go
It seems your ring is sliding off my hand
Do you understand?
No, no, no
In every breathe you're dragging me low
In every movement the chill sustains
Here it comes again
There'll be rain on our wedding day
Rotting roses in my bouqet
There'll be rain on our wedding day
Gray be the sky
Too late to cry
Slow, slow, slow
Slow, slow, slow
Slow, slow, slow
Slow, slow, slow
