I Scare Myself
04:36
|
|||
I scare myself thinking about you
I scare myself when I'm without you
I scare myself
The moment that you're gone
I scare myself
When I let my thoughts run
And when they're running
I keep thinking of you
And when they're running
What can I do?
But it's oh so, so much different
When we're together
And I'm oh so so much calmer, I feel bettеr
For the stars have crossed our paths forеver
And the sooner that you realize it, the better
And I'll be with you
And I won't scare myself
I'll know what to do
And I won't scare myself
And I'll trust in you
And I won't scare myself
And I'll be with you
And I won't scare myself
I scare myself just thinking about you
I scare myself when I am without you
I scare myself
The moment that you're gone
I scare myself
When I let my thoughts run
When they're running I keep thinking of you
When they're running What can I do
But it's oh so, so much different
When we're together
And I'm oh so so much calmer, I feel bettеr
For the stars have crossed our paths forеver
And the sooner that you realize it, the better
And I'll be with you
And I won't scare myself
I'll know what to do
And I won't scare myself
And I'll trust in you
And I won't scare myself
And I'll be with you
And I won't scare myself

Irony
02:52
|
|||
The ones you want don't ever call
And at the same time the others that call
Are the ones you fear seeing at all
Irony, irony, irony, irony.
Things aren't meant to be this clear
It's not what you want,
it's something you fear
A silk screened image and nothing too clear.
Irony, irony, irony, irony.
At least you know which way to throw your chances
Stop listening to the music for your silent dances
And don't blame me for my non-political stances.
Irony, irony, irony, irony.
At least you know which way to throw your chances
Stop listening to the music for your silent dances

Irony, irony, irony, irony.

Guilt
03:22
|
|||
I feel guilt, I feel guilt
Though I ain't done no wrong I feel guilt
I feel guilt, I feel guilt
Though I ain't done no wrong I feel guilt
I feel bad, so bad
Though I ain't done nothing wrong I feel bad
I feel bad, so bad
Though I ain't done nothing wrong I feel bad
I never stole a scarf from Harrods
But if I did they wouldn't miss it
I never stole a doll from Lovecraft
But if I did you know I'd kiss it
I never took from the rich,
I never gave to the poor
I'm just a curious child
Tell me more, more, more
More, more, more, more
I feel blood, I feel blood
Though it's streaming through my veins,
It's not enough
I feel blood, I feel blood
Though it's streaming through my veins it's not enough
I was always faithful to my lovers
And if I weren't I would admit it
If I could get away with murder
I'd grab a gun and I'd commit it
I never took from the rich
I never gave to the poor
I'm just a curious child
Tell me more
More, more, more, more, more, more, more, more

More Money
03:10
|
|||
More money
Give me more money
More money, more money, more money
More money
Give me more money
More money, more money, more money
She awakes with a child in her arms
Bills in the door
He'll be there forever
Some drugs can awake every sense
More money, more money, more money
More money
Give me more money
More money, more money, more money
And old scars start bleeding from the inside
As new cars come driving up the pathway
Strange talk, foolish conversation about money
And money and money and money
More money
Give me more money
More money, more money, more money
More money
Give me more money
More money, more money, more money
She awakes with a child in her arms
Bills in the door
He'll be there forever
Some drugs can awake every sense
More money, more money, more money
More money
Give me more money
More money, more money, more money
More money
Give me more money
More money, more money, more money

There's a breeze on the ocean
Prints in the tracks
Dark memories between us
I ain't never going back
So callously minded
You heard what I said
I'm drawn to your loving
But inside I'm dead
'Cause when love takes to wandering
It never turns back
And the wound keeps on weeping
Till the doctor gets back
I'll rest under the old bridge
Watch the stars in the sky
See the distance between us
From too many lies
Single out the good times
When the spark was still there
Till the moment it burnt out and left us nowhere
'Cause when love takes to wandering
It never turns back
And the wound keeps on weeping
Till the doctor gets back
'Cause when love takes to wandering
It never turns back
And the wound keeps on weeping
Till the doctor gets back

Broken English
05:10
|
|||
Could have got through anytime
Cold, lonely puritan
What are you fighting for?
It's not my security
It's just an old war
Not even a cold war
Don't say it in Russian
Don't say it in German
Say it in broken English
Say it in broken English
Lose your father, your husband
Your mother, your children
What are you fighting for?
It's not my reality
It's just an old war
Not even a cold war
Don't say it in Russian
Don't say it in German
Say it in broken English
Say it in broken English
What are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?
Could have got through anytime
Cold, lonely puritan
What are you fighting for?
It's not my security
It's just an old war
Not even a cold war
Don't say it in Russian
Don't say it in German
Say it in broken English
Say it in broken English
Say it in broken English
Say it in broken English
What are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?

Times Square
04:43
|
|||
In a tired part of the city
Looking from some fast talk
Watch, don't walk to walk
It's easy when you're dreaming
Standing in a circle
Staring at the movies
And laughing at the wrong time
If alcohol could take me there
I'd take a shot a minute
And be there by the hour
I'd take a walk around Times Square
With a pistol in my suitcase
And my eyes on the TV
In a car, taking a back seat
Staring out the window
Looking at the ladies
Playing in a wrong chord
Singing in a bad key
Talking on the telephone
Talking about you and me
If Jesus Christ could take me there
I'd fall down on my knees
Have no questions to His answers
I'd take a walk around Times Square
With a pistol in my suitcase
And my eyes on the TV
If alcohol could take me there
I'd take a shot a minute
And be there by the hour
I'd take a walk around Times Square
With a pistol in my suitcase
And my eyes on the TV
It took a while gaining my senses
Woke up in a hotel staring at the ceiling

Over here I’ll damage them
Before they damage me.
Over here commit them all
They’ll never be believed
No time for justice
No time for peace.
No time for justice
No time for peace.
Over here, standing clear
My voice gives me away.
Over here, we’re running wild
Whatever games we play.
No right for justice
No right for peace.
No right for justice
No right for peace.
Get a message out for me
And tell them all they want to know.
If i can still be free.
I’ll leave this place, go far away,
They’ll never hear from me again.
I’ll cause no trouble, feel no pain.
Over here it’s hide and seek
Get on the midnight train.
Over here they’ll lock you up
And call you filthy names.
No right for justice
No right for peace.
No right for justice
No right for peace.
Get a message out for me
And tell them all they want to know.
If i can still be free.
I’ll leave this place, go far away,
They’ll never hear from me again.
I’ll cause no trouble, feel no pain.
Over here i’ll damage them
Before they damage me.
Over here commit them all
They’ll never be believed
No time for justice, no time for peace.
No time for justice, no time for peace.
No time for justice, no right for peace.

Give Me Love
03:32
|
|||
Two hearts were beating
I saw them beating
I've seen them once before
Two hands together
I see them touching
I saw them lock the door
And if she changed her mind
Like she could easily do
I'd surely crumble into pieces
Sweep me up; she'll start again
Two eyes were looking
I saw them looking
I've seen that look before
People together
I've seen them walking
I've seen it all before
And if she changed her mind
Like she could easily do
Give me love
Give me love
Give me love
And love and love and love
Love and love and love and love and love

The Bold Fenian Men
03:24
|
|||
It was down by the Glenside
I met an old woman
A plucking young nettles ne'er saw
I was coming
I listened a while to the sound she was humming
Glorio, glorio to the bold Fenian men
The fifty long year since I saw the moon beaming
On strong manly forms
And on eyes with hope gleaming
I see them again sure through all my day dreaming
Glorio, glorio to the bold Fenian men
Some died by the Glenside
Some died with a stranger
And wise men have told us
Their cause was a failure
But they stood by old Ireland and never feared danger
Glorio, glorio to the bold Fenian men
I passed on my way God be praised that I met her
Be life long or short
I shall never forget her
We may have brave men
But we'll never have better
Glorio, glorio to the bold Fenian men
