Hello, Can You Hear Me?

Hello can you hear me
Hello can you see me
You want love, you got it
You want sex, you got it
You want blood
You want it all
Hello can you touch me
Hello it’s too much see
You need more I can’t give it
You want all I don’t have it
You want blood
You want it all

Sanctuary

When a child lays down his head
It should be his sanctuary
Who put these thoughts in your head?
Did you think that you’d be free?
Thirty years since I felt the floor
Pain still screaming from the walls
For two yeas I’ve stood at your bed
Your blood for mine playing in my head
Soon is the time to justify
Tell me can you see it
The truth hidden in my eyes
Tell me can you feel it
I scream your name to crucify
I’ve hidden here behind this smile
Holy Father took the child
Calendar pages start to fall
To you deathbed you will crawl
Soon is the time to justify
Tell me can you feel it
The nails driven in your eyes
Scream, though I cant hear it
Your lies of pain as alibis.

Rock is Dead

Rock is dead
It died last night on your TV
Outside your head with your colour LCD
Your comfy chair, DVDs and PCPs
Rock is dead
Voted off by you and me
Remember our life, it played so easy
No real-time drama, no prime time sleazy
I have a soft spot for things of honour
And now your saviours are prima donnas
Brought by Mcdonalds
CHORUS
You took a bad thing and made it badder
Hid from the real world, your corporate ladder
Just keep your high fives
I’m not that colour
You’d change your accent for one dollar
Yankee dollar
CHORUS
Open your heart up and listen to it
Don’t be mistaken by ring tone shit
The things you worship won’t be around long
Don’t buy the singer, stick with the real song
Rock is dead
It died last night on your TV
Outside your head with your colour LCD
Your comfy chair, PCP and Ecstasy
Rock is dead
Thank God for you and you and me.

Kyle

There’s an easy way and a hard way
Stranger Angels
The easy way is harder if you pay the price
The harder way is harder for a better life.
Kyle and I grew up in school
I was me and Kyle was cool
We were tight he blew me away
He use to laugh maybe we were gay
We even shared our first cigarette
Girls and beer and whatever we’d get
Kyle did this and Kyle did that
He was thin and I was fat
It never seemed to bother him while I was there
Strange guy in the corner with the funny hair
It always seemed to be that way
Then on day he walked away
We were in a bar we were pissing around
Like old friends do when they act like clowns
We went outside for another drink
I was drunk, Kyle was drunker, I think
Kyle fell over and he hit the ground
I laughed so hard cos it made this sound
Kyle got up and he walked away
Six degrees of darkness got in his way
Kyle did this and Kyle did that
I was the fool who fell in his trap
He was smart and I was high
I never wanted to be that guy
Well that’s not the way it really fell
Kyle was drunk and he hit the ground
I grabbed his hair and I smashed the stone
For all the years that I felt alone
KYLE: I was your friend, you never knew
It’s not me it’s only you
Do you feel better now on your own
I was your friend now you’re all alone
Kyle did this and Kyle did that
I was the fool who fell into his trap
Now you’re gone maybe I will shine
No more alone, the moment’s mine.

In the concrete jungle where the big jet engines roar
They’re coming fast coming slow
They’re too big to ignore
Down amongst the rubble there’s a family that waits
He don’t know, she don’t know
They don’t know their fate
Won’t you stop bombing us
Won’t you stop killing us
Won’t you stop the terror and leave us alone?
I don’t wanna be like you
Don’t wanna do the things that you do
Don’t wanna be like you!
Where will it get you
All this violence and this hate?
How can you do these things
When death is all you face?
When does the terror in your
Seething mind turn around?
In for a penny, in for a pound
We’ve got to turn this world around
The administration is coming after you
The administration knows just what to do
They’ll hurt you and they’ll find you, tie you like a dog
You won’t have a chance to find out
Where that hate is gone
Won’t you stop blowing up?
Won’t you stop killing us?
Stop the terror and leave us alone.

Breathe

When days are dark and you can’t feel
Life doesn’t seem that much
Remember what you said to me
Times when we could not touch
The change we made was all I need
To keep me from losing you
Things turn around your secret’s safe
Make plans for a better day
You taught me to Breathe
Open your eyes and see
Everything is free
If you just try and breathe
Who would have thought we’d need
This time to say everything we feel
So sing your song and make me smile
‘Tis all the strength I need
Sometimes it’s hard to find your place
For your thought to dance away
Remember what you said to me?
It’s all the strength I need

Elizabeth Makes Me Smile
04:35
|

|
There’s trouble in the world today
Two men lost their lives being in
Wrong place, wrong time, today
I don’t want to be here today
But if I do all I need to do to
Make me okay, today
And when you feel there’s nothing left
And when you feel like second best
She’ll change your mind with a smile
She’ll make you laugh
She’ll make you cry
She’ll make you ask yourself
And wonder why
Elizabeth can make me smile.
There’s trouble in my heart today
She looked at me and as quickly
Turned away, as if to say
I don’t need to be held today
And if I do, all I need to do is cry
To make you stay
And when you feel like second best
And when you feel there’s nothing left
She’ll change your heart with a smile
Elizabeth can make you feel
Like time stands still but
When she takes your hand
She’ll move you
Oh she’ll make you
Oh she’ll make you
She’ll make you smile.

Same Old Story

Sally said “Ma can I go out tonight?
I’m old enough now it’ll be alright.”
Ma said, “OK but be home by ten,
The night’s no place for a girl so young.”
Ooh, too young
Ah, have fun
Sally said “Hello” to a boy with some wine
His name was Jim they had a good time
Sally starting drinking everything went black
When she came to, she couldn’t look back.
Sally sit alone and she started to cry
Next day Ma noticed a tear in her eye
She said, “sally won’t you go out tonight?”
Sally said, “Too young, it’ll be alright.”

Crazy Motherfucker
04:01
|

|
I knew a man who gave me his sister
Said she’s seen me on TV
I sued to think he was a crazy motherfucker
Now I think the crazy one is me.
Oooh, Crazy Motherfucker
Oooh, Crazy Mother Me (He) (She)
Read in the paper how John Mayer gets his kicks
Getting stoned on a ventilate machine
How badly do you want everyone to know you
You singing monkeys and your MTV
Rich girls make money doing nothing
Now everyone wants to do the same
Broadcast your sex and your secrets, on myspace
Whoops, too late and are you to blame?

All The Good Things
05:29

|
Go on tell me in twenty words or less
I promise not to cry
You’ll follow in the footsteps
Running now I won’t hide
Can I wait now ‘til tomorrow
And then you’ll see the light
When it dawns – only suddenly
Yu find what’s wrong is right
And all the things you left behind
Are catching up on you
Oh, bring back now all the good things
Don’t let them pass you by
When I cut you have you had enough
Of everything there is
Overflowing with everything
And nothing left to give.
