(No lyrics)


2. PROMISES

You better believe I'm coming
You better believe what I say
You better hold on to your promises
Because you bet - You'll get what you deserve
She's going to leave him over
She's gonna take her love away
So much for your eternal vows
Well - It does not matter anyway

[Pre-Chorus]
Why can't you stay here awhile?
Stay here awhile
Stay with me

[Chorus]
Oh - All the promises we made
All the meaningless and empty words
I prayed - Prayed - Prayed
Oh - All the promises we broke
All the meaningless and empty words
I spoke - Spoke - Spoke

What of all the things that you taught me
What of all the things that you'd say
What of all your prophetic preaching
You're just throwing it all away
Maybe we should burn the house down
Have ourselves another fight
Leave the cobwebs in the closet
'Cause tearing them out is just not right

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus] (x2)


3. ANIMAL INSTINCT

Suddenly something has happened to me
As I was having my cup of tea
Suddenly I was feeling depressed
I was utterly and totally stressed
Do you know you made me cry?
Do you know you made me die?

And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
It is a lovely thing that we have
It is a lovely thing that we
It is a lovely thing - The animal
The animal instinct

So take my hands and come with me
We will change reality
So take my hands and we will pray
They won't take you away
They will never make me cry - No
They will never make me die

And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt

The animal - The animal - The animal instinct in me
It's the animal - The animal - The animal instinct in me
It's the animal - It's the animal - It's the animal instinct in me (x2)

The animal - The animal - The animal instinct in me
It's the animal - It's the animal - It's the animal instinct in me


4. LOUD AND CLEAR

I hope that you miss me
Put me down on history
I feel such a reject now
Get yourself a life
I hope that you're sorry
For not accepting me
For not adoring me
That's why I'm not your wife

[Chorus]
People are stranger
People in danger
People are stranger
People deranged or

I remember there was
Nothing I could ever do
Never could impress you
Even if I tried
Tell somebody who cares
Fill the room with empty stares
Go to bed and say my prayers
Keep them satisfied

[Chorus]

Loud and clear I make my point my dear

I hope that you never
Get the things you wanted to
Now I cast a spell on you
Complicate your life
Hope you get a puncture
Everywhere you ever drive
Hope the sun beats down on you and
Skin youself alive

Ra - La - La - La - La ...


5. ODE TO MY FAMILY

Understand the things I say
Don't turn away from me
'Cause I've spent half my life out there
You wouldn't disagree
D'you see me? - D'you see?
Do you like me? - Do you like me standing there?
D'you notice - D'you know?
Do you see me? - Do you see me?
Does anyone care?

[Chorus]
Unhappiness - Where's when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother - My mother - She hold me
She hold me when I was out there
My father - My father - He liked me
Oh he liked me - Does anyone care?

Understand what I've become
It wasn't my design
And people everywhere think
Something better than I am
But I miss you - I miss
'Cause I liked it - 'Cause I liked it
When I was out there
D'you know this? - D'you know?
You did not find me - You did not find
Does anyone care?

[Chorus]

Does anyone care? (x7)


6. THE ICICLE MELTS

When - When will the icicle melt?
The icicle - Icicle
And when - When will the picture show end?
The picture show - Picture show
I should not have read the paper today
'Cause a child - Child - Child - Child - He was taken away

[Chorus]
There's a place for the baby that died
And there's time for the mother who cried
And she will hold him in her arms sometime
'Cause nine months is too long - Too long - Too long

How - How could you hurt the child?
How could you hurt the child?
Now does this make you satisfied?
Satisfied - Satisfied
I don't know what's happening to people today
When a child - Child - Child - Child - He was taken away

[Chorus]

There's a place for the baby that died
And there's time for the mother who cried
And you will hold him in your arms sometime
'Cause nine months is too long - Too long - Too long
Too long


7. LINGER

If you - If you could return
Don't let it burn - Don't let it fade
I'm sure I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining everything

I swore - I swore I would be true
And honey so did you
So why were you holding her hand?
Is that the way we stand?
Were you lying all the time?
Was it just a game to you? - But

[Chorus]
I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to - Do you have to
Do you have to let it linger?

Oh - I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong - I was wrong
If you - If you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused and
I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with you - But

[Chorus]

And

[Chorus] (x2)


8. WANTED

Sittin' in an armchair
With my head between my hands
I wouldn't have to feel like this
If you'd only understand
Too many misunderstandings
Causing such delay
And if it doesn't work like this
Well I'll try another way

[Chorus] (x2)
Oh - If this is the way you wanted it
Oh - I didn't understand

You know that all I wanted was
To be there by your side
And if you didn't want it
Well you shouldn't have denied
You knew that you were someone special
Right from the start
But if you treat me badly
We'd be better off apart

[Chorus] (x2)

Understand

Oh - Oh - Oh - Oh - Oh...


9. SALVATION

To all those people doin' lines
Don't do it - Don't do it
Inject your soul with liberty
It's free - It's free

[Pre-Chorus]
To all the kids with heroin eyes
Don't do it - Don't do it
Because it's not not what it seems
No no - It's not not what it seems

[Chorus]
Salvation - Salvation - Salvation is free
Salvation - Salvation - Salvation is free

To all the parents with sleepless nights
Sleepless nights
Tie your kids home to their beds
Clean their heads

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus] (x2)


10. DESPERATE ANDY

He always holds on to his girlfriend
That's where he likes to be
He like to wear the ball and the chain on his neck
A false sense of security

And when he goes - He goes with a smile (x4)

[Pre-Chorus] (x2)
Desperate Andy
Re - La - La - La ...

[Chorus]
The world is your oyster now
You can do as you want to do
The world is your oyster now
So go out and get high and get whatever you want to

Ma - Na - Na - Ma - Na - Na ...

He used to be a closet biker they say
A 1957 BSA
He used to collect writing paper
They wonder - Wonder - Wonder - Wonder - Wonder of

[Pre-Chorus]

Isn't it dandy?
Re - La - La - La ...

[Pre-Chorus] (x2)

[Chorus]

The word is your oyster now
You can do as you want to do
The world is your oyster now
So go out and get laid and get whatever you want to
The world is your oyster
The world is yours

It's yours (x8)

(x2)
Give me the chastity
Give me the santity
Give me the wit


11. GO YOUR OWN WAY

Loving you isn't the right thing to do
How can I ever change things that I feel?
If I could maybe I'd give you my world
How can I when you won't take it from me?

[Chorus]
You can go your own way - Go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
You can go your own way - Go your own way

Tell me why everything turned around
Packing up - Shacking up's all you wanna do
If I could - Baby I'd give you my world
Open up - Everything's waiting for you

[Chorus]

(x5)
You can go your own way - Go your own way
You can call it another lonely day


12. PRETTY

[Verse]
You're so pretty the way you are
You're so pretty the way you are
And you had no reason
To be so insolent to me
You're so pretty the way you are

[Chorus]
La - La - You got to say it if you want to
But you won't change me
La - La - You got to say it if you want to
But you won't change me

[Verse]

[Chorus]


13. WHEN YOU'RE GONE

Hold on to love
That is what I do
Now that I've found you
And from above
Everything's stinking
They're not around you

[Pre-Chorus]
And in the night
I could be helpless
I could be lonely
Sleeping without you
And in the day
Everything's complex
There's nothing simple
When I'm not around you

But

[Chorus]
I miss you when you're gone
That is what I do - Baby
And it's going to carry on
That is what I knew - Hey baby

Hold on to my hands
I feel like sinking
Sinking without you
And to my mind
Everything's stinking
Stinking without you

[Pre-Chorus]

And

[Chorus]


14. I CAN'T BE WITH YOU

Lying in my bed again
And I cry 'cause you're not here
Crying in my head again
And I know that it's not clear

Put your hands - Put your hands
Inside my face and see that it's just you
But it's bad and it's mad and it's making me sad
Because I can't be with you

[Chorus]
Be with you
Be with you
Be with you
Be with you
Be with you
Be with you
Be with
I can't be with you

Thinking back on how things were
And on how we loved so well
I wanted to be the mother of your child
And now it's just farewell

Put your hands in my hands
And come with me - We'll find another end
And my head and my head on anyone's shoulder
'Cause I can't be with you

[Chorus]

'Cause you're not here - You're not here
Baby - I can't be with you
'Cause you're not here - You're not here
Baby - Still in love with you

Still in love with you (x6)


15. WALTZING BACK

Who gave them the right
Waltzing back into
Your life - Your life - Your life?
Now I feel fear
I wish that they'd never come
Here - Here - Here

(x2)
What they're gonna do?
What they're gonna say?
Taking you away from my life - My life - My life?

La - La - La

Who gave them the right
Turning it back into
Light - Light - Light?
Then I felt fear
I wish that they'd never come
Here - Here - Here

What they're gonna do?
What they're gonna say?
Taking you away from my life - My life - My life?
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna say
I don't wanna say
'Cause it's your life - Your life - Your life

La - La - La

Who gave them the right - The right - The right? (x4)


16. FREE TO DECIDE

It's not worth anything more than this at all
I'll live as I choose or I will not live at all
So return to where you come from
Return to where you dwell
Because harassment's not my forte
But you do it very well

[Chorus]
I'm free to decide - I'm free to decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
I'm free to decide - I'm free to decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
At all - At all - At all

You must have nothing more with your time to do
There's a war in Russia and Sarajevo too
So to hell with what you're thinking
And to hell with your narrow mind
You're so distracted from the real thing
You should leave your life behind - Behind - 'Cause

[Chorus]

I'm free to decide - I'm free to decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
At all - At all - At all
At all - At all - At all


17. ZOMBIE

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence cause of silence
Who are we mistaken?

But you see - It's not me - It's not my family
In your head - In your head - They are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head - In your head - They are crying

[Chorus]
In your head - In your head
Zombie - Zombie - Zombie
What's in your head? - In your head
Zombie - Zombie - Zombie

Another mother's breakin'
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken

It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head - In your head - They're still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head - In your head - They are dying

[Chorus]


18. RIDICULOUS THOUGHTS

Twister oh - Does anyone see through you?
You're a twister - Oh Na Na Na Na
But you're so happy now
I didn't go along with you
So happy now - Na Na Na Na

[Pre-Chorus]
But you're gonna have to hold on
You're gonna have to hold on
You're gonna have to hold on - Hold on - Hold on
Or we're gonna have to move on
We're gonna have to move on
Or we're gonna have to move on - Move on - Move on

[Chorus]
I feel alright and I cried so hard
The ridiculous thoughts - Oh
I feel alright - Alright - Alright - Alright

Twister oh - I shouldn't have trusted in you
Twister - Oh Na Na Na Na
It's not gonna happen no
You're not gonna make fun of me
Happen no - Na Na Na Na

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Ah - I should have lied
But I cried so hard
The ridiculous thoughts - Oh
I should have lied - Have lied - Have lied - Have lied
But you're gonna have to hold on
You're gonna have to hold on (x7)
Well - You're gonna have to hold on
You're gonna have to hold on
Hold on - Hold on - Hold on - Hold on - Hold on - Hold
Well - You're gonna have to hold on
You're gonna have to hold on
To me


19. DYING IN THE SUN

Do you remember
The things we used to say?
I feel so nervous
When I think of yesterday

How could I let things
Get to me so bad?
How did I let things get to me?

[Chorus] (x2)
Like dying in the sun
Like dying in the sun
Like dying in the sun
Like dying

Will you hold on to me?
I am feeling frail
Will you hold on to me?
We will never fail

I wanted to be
So perfect you see
I wanted to be so perfect

[Chorus] (x2)


20. YOU AND ME

I'm not going out tonight 'cause I don't want to go
I am staying at home tonight 'cause I don't want to know
You revealed a world to me and I would never be
Dwelling in such happiness - Your gift of purity

[Chorus]
You and me
It will always be
You and me
Forever be
Eternally
It will always be
You and me

Taylor (x4)

I don't pay attention to the ones who never care
Find your own direction 'cause there's sweetness in the air
You will be the world to me and I will always be
Dwelling in this happiness - Your gift of purity

[Chorus]

Always be
You and me
Forever be
Eternally
It will always be
You and me
Forever be
Eternally

Taylor (x8)


21. JUST MY IMAGINATION

There was a game we used to play
We would hit the town on friday night
And stay in bed until sunday
We used to be so free
We were living for the love we had
Living not for reality

[Chorus]
Just my imagination - Just my imagination
Just my imagination - It was
Just my imagination - Just my imagination
Just my imagination - It was

That was a time I used to pray
I have always kept my faith in love
It's the greatest thing from the man above
The game I used to play
I've always put my cards upon the table
Never be said that I'd be unstable

[Chorus]

There is a game I like to play
I like to hit the town on friday night
And stay in bed until sunday
We'll always be this free
We will be living for the love we have
Living not for reality

It's not my imagination - It's not my imagination
It's not my imagination - It was
Not my imagination - Not my imagination
Not my imagination - It was

Not my (x16)


22. DELILAH

Shout - Shout - Shout Delilah
Shout - Shout - Shout at the top of your lungs
Shout - Shout - Shout Delilah
Shout - Shout - Shout until the kingdom comes

[Pre-Chorus]
Stay away from me
Just stay away from my house
Stay away from me
Just stay away or I'll sort you out

[Chorus]
Shout - Shout - Shout Delilah
Shout - Shout - Shout 'till the kingdom comes
Treading on my dreams
Stop treading on my dreams (x2)

Out - Out - Out Delilah
Out - Out - Out - Stay out of my place
Out - Out - Out Delilah
Out - Out - Out or I'll rearrange your face

(x2)
He'll never really be
He'll never be your lover

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

(x4)
Delilah (x3)
Push me (x2)

Push me ...


23. DREAMS

Oh my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way

And Oh my dreams
It's never quiet as it seems
Never quiet as it seems

I know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you

And then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be

I want more
Impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore

And they'll come true
Impossible not to do
Impossible not to do

And now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find

A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me

Oh my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way

And Oh my dreams
It's never quiet as it seems
'Cause you're a dream to me
Dream to me
