QUICKSAND

Take me away, take me away
You said that you were gonna stay
But you're always lying anyway
You're going to suffer if you don't
Start breathing now
Now that I need you
You're going away

Everyday sinking into quicksand
Follow me down the drain

But it doesn't matter anyway
You're going to get yours anyday
And while you put the blame on me
If you could only see yourself as other see
Now that I need you
You're going insane

Everyday sinking into quicksand
Follow me down the drain
Everyday drinking in the same bar
Drowning my sorrows away

Take me away, take me today
Or I'm never gonna get away
But it makes no difference to me
It's just the sound of one more rockstar bleeding
Now that I need you
You're out of the frame

Day by day, sinking into quicksand
Follow me down the drain
Everyday drinking in the same bar
Made mine the same again

THE BEAUTIFUL OCCUPATION

Don't just stand there watching it happening
I can't stand it
Don't feel it
Something telling me
Don't wanna go out this way
But have a nice day
Then read it in the headlines
Watch it on the TV
Put it in the background
Stick it in the bag
Stick it in the bag

For the beautiful occupation
Beautiful occupation
You don't need an invitation
To drop in upon a nation

I'm too cynical
I'm just sittin' here
I'm just wastin' my time
Half a million of civillians gonna die today
But look the wrong way
Then read it in the headlines
Watch it on the TV
Put it in the background
Stick it in the bag
Stick it in the bag

For the beautiful occupation
Beautiful occupation
You don't need an invitation
To drop in upon a nation

Don't just stand there watching it happening
I can't stand it
Don't feel it
Something telling me
Don't wanna go out this way
But have a nice day
Then read it in the headlines
Watch it on the TV
Put it in the background
Stick it in the bag
Stick it in the bag

For the beautiful occupation
Beautiful occupation
You don't need an invitation
To drop in upon a nation

The beautiful occupation
Beautiful occupation
So much for an intervention
Don't call the united nations

RE-OFFENDER

Keeping up apperances
Keeping up with the Jones'
Fooling my selfish heart
Going through the motions

But I'm fooling myself
I'm fooling myself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again, you do it again

Everybody thinks you're well
Everybody thinks I'm ill
Watching me fall apart
Falling under your spell

But you're fooling yourself
You're fooling yourself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again, you do it again
And again and again and again and again

But you're fooling yourself
You're fooling yourself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say you love me
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again, you do it again
And again and again and again and again

PEACE THE FUCK OUT

Now I don't know that your tie is straight
Your words are crooked and you're gonna pay
In ten years time they're going to say
That this was the moment when you threw it away

It's all wrong, handbags at dawn
Turn the radio off to hear a song
Oh please don't give up
You have a voice, don't lose it
You have a choice, so choose it
You have a brain, so use it
The time has come to
Peace the fuck out

Now I don't know what you're talking about
There's too much shit pouring out of your mouth
The dime is high, your secret's out
The truth's gonna catch you when you go to south

But it's all wrong, handbags at dawn
And turn the radio off to hear a song
Oh please don't give up
You have a voice, so use it

Yeah but it's all wrong, handbags at dawn
We turn the radio off to hear a song
Oh please don't give up
You have a voice, don't lose it
You have a choice, so choose it
You have a brain, so use it
The time has come to
Peace the fuck out

HOW MANY HEARTS

How many hearts
Does it take to break
All of the bonds
That young lovers make
Hoping to find
The next golden egg
One that will shine
Through the rest of time

How many roads
Must there need to be
Hoping inside
You could mean to me
Open your mouth
Build your sermon there
Give me more time
Do the best I can

Hopelessly hoping our plan will wake up
Hoping it all will be fine
Holding our candles through weather or not
Love be the enemy now
Now for the rest of time

A long time ago
There was only me
And there was no
Rings eternally
Won't be the same
No one there to blame
No longer care

And you are, and you are a new age...

Hopelessly hoping our plan will wake up
Hoping it all will be fine
Holding our candles through weather or not
Love be the enemy now
Now for the rest of time

And you are and you are a new age...

PAPERCLIPS

Paperclips, melody
Hold together all these memories
Memories
Memories
I don't wanna think at all

Don't wanna be like you anymore
Don't wanna see your face at my door
And I'll never leave like you, that's for sure
I don't wanna be like you anymore, anymore, anymore

Take a trip, down memory lane
You will never wanna to go again
Take your leave
Take your leave
I don't wanna sing at all

I don't wanna be like you anymore
I do'nt wanna see your face at my door
And I'll never leave like you, that's for sure
I don't wanna live like you anymore, anymore, anymore

And the time does sigh
We get by, we'll get by
And I won't take this
No more sadness, no, no

Paperclips, memories
Hold together all these melodies
Melodies
Melodies
I don't wanna sing at all

I don't wanna be like you anymore
I do'nt wanna see your face at my door
And I'll never leave like you, that's for sure
I don't wanna live like you anymore, anymore, anymore

SOMEWHERE ELSE

Home and away
Life goes on the same, bury the pain
And hold on to love
Heal the song, sing along
But what does it change

Oh this life is so confusing
Feels like I'm always losing

Come in knowing everything
But don't say a word, till they teach you the way
Words are found too close to the edge
That we don't dare sing

This will turn into something else, something else
And when it does, I'll be somewhere else, somewhere else
Where else?

And you said I should be myself
Despite all the wrong, dragging you back
Forgive him and forgot on and on and on

But this life is so confusing
Feels like I'm always losing

And this'll turn into something else, something else
But when it does, I'll be somewhere else, somewhere else
Where else?

LOVE WILL COME THROUGH

If I told you a secret
You won't tell a soul
Will you hold it and
Keep it alive

Cause it's burning a hole
And I can't get to sleep
And I can't live alone
In this life

So look up, take it away
Don't look da-da-da-down
The mountain

If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return
Anyone, anything, anyhow

So take me, don't leave me
Take me, don't leave me
Baby, love will come through
It's just waiting for you

And you stand at the crossroads
Of highroads and lowroads
And I've got a feeling
It's right

If it's real what I'm feeling
There's no make believing
The sound of the wings
Of the flight

Of a dove, take it away
Don't look da-da-da-down
The mountain

If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return
Anyone, anything, anyhow

So take me, don't leave me
Take me, don't leave me
Baby, love will come through
It's just waiting for you

Oh, look up, take it away
Don't look da-da-da-down

If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return
Anyone, anything, anyhow

So take me, don't leave me
Take me, don't leave me
Baby, love will come through
It's just waiting for you

Love will come through
Love will come through
Love will come through

MID-LIFE KRYSIS

Memories fill your harbor
History to be made
Jealousy in the cupboard
You with me 'til the grave

Mid-life krysis, you invited everyone
You can't wake, you can't wake from this nightmare

Everyday is like the movies
Third world war on the rise
Take it in the city
Making love to get high

Mid-life krysis, you invited everyone
You can't wake, you can't wake from this nightmare

I waste my time, I waste my
Don't waste my time, don't waste my
I waste my time, I waste my
Don't waste my time, don't waste my

Angel say you're in love with me
Say you're still
Maybe then you'll have some children
May you have not

Mid-life krysis, you invited everyone
You can't wake, you can't wake from this nightmare
You invited everyone
You can't wake, you can't wake from this nightmare

HAPPY TO HANG AROUND

They were following me
They were following everyone
And they had visions of me
Holding hands walking in to the sun
Now people get down, people get down, people get hurt
When you did it to me
I was already in the ground

And I'll never get into your heart
Though I don't even want to start
I'll never get into your heart
I'm just happy to hang around
Happy to hang around
Happy to hang around

Take a picture of me
And show it to everyone
And no more pictures of you
No more love, no more setting sun
Now people get down, people get down, people get hurt
And when you did it to me
I was already in the dirt

And I'll never get into your heart
Though I don't even want to start
I'll never get into your heart
I'm just happy to hang around
Happy to hang around
Happy to hang around

And I'll never get into your heart
Though I don't even want to start
I'll never get into your heart
I'm just happy to hang around
Happy to hang around
Happy to hang around

WALKING DOWN THE HILL

Walking down this hill tonight
I had a thought all to myself
As I contemplated the moonlight

We've got it all, we've got it made
I don't know how I got here
But I'm holding on for the crash

Pull myself out of the moon
I know I'll never go there but
It's shining down from up on high
We got it made, we got it made
I don't know what we gotta make
Sooner or later we die

We're apart, go to peace
While I go to sleep

Look into my heart, oh baby
Don't become a part of the past
You can be a part of ?

Don't turn away, don't run away
Don't leave me hanging by a thread
Shine a love down on me

We're ?, make your peace
Wasting time is all you need

Walking down this hill tonight
I had a thought it was my own
? save the starlight
Or shall I be or shall I not be
I don't know I just don't
Feel like it tonight
