Twisted tenderness (

Twisted tenderness (1999)

Sometimes we find ourselves looking for something new we stand outside ourselves not knowing quite what we should do I am in debt to you I owe respect to you but you've got to learn it's gonna turn, into neglect for you and though you caught me naked I didn't enjoy it in fact I regret it let's make it happen why can't you understand I am a fraction a part of a broken man I hope you understand it's part of my action plan to bury you in the sand the tide's gonna turn when will you learn to stop hiding inside yourself I bet you wish you were someone else tell me when will you learn the day's getting longer and you're getting common sense so get right down off that fence ain't it time that you turned and though you got me thinking you could be faking your ego's inflated and I'm sick of waiting let's make it happen why can't you understand I am a fraction I am a broken man let's make it happen why can't you understand I am a fraction part of a broken man my soul is in rapture if only we could both hold on let's cause a reaction just like you know we should.

Haze.05.11

I'm here alone all by myself with no-one else I need someone to share these thoughts about myself I don't know who I can trust this picture's starting to rust and as I press upon myself a form of torture I write these words for someone else just like an author I don't know who I can trust I don't know who I can trust everybody won't you come with me we'll take a ride across the sea when we get there if we don't drown I'll turn your whole world upside down And later on with each illegal breath I take I lose resistance for an instant to my fate How I'll miss you when you're gone I'm a number lower than one I'm on my own I think this stuff is getting stronger I'm wide awake and I can't take it any longer How I'll miss you when you are gone I'm a number lower than one everybody won't you come with me help me find what I can't see I'm sick of crawling along the ground help me turn my world around everybody won't you come with me everybody come with me if I don't find what I've come for you won't see me anymore Sometimes Its hard just to find some piece of mind it feels like I am going crazy almost all of the time and if we can't live this way then what will I do like my father and my mother I'm depending on you You've got to fight just to keep your piece of mind you've got to hold on tight don't cross that line Sometimes I cry like a baby when I look outside I'm on a losing streak driving through Moss Side Like the river deep or the ocean wide like the river deep or the ocean wide like the river deep or the ocean wide There's a crack in the wall but I just can't hide.

Vivid.05.36

My imagination wants to see the vivid colours of reality there's a place out there beyond my grasp a revolution in a looking glass I've got to get this problem off my chest I'm sick and tired of being second best I'll rearrange my credibility a fundraiser for a restless sea Don't ever doubt me what's come over you won't you forgive me what are you gonna do? don't ever doubt me what's come over you won't you forgive me what are you gonna do what will you do I can't contain what's in my head I'm losing words that I must have read do you remember the time we spent it seems that we were the main event Have you a reason to behave like this maybe you need a psychoanalyst if you keep pushing me out of the door for sure, you'll never see me again No one to talk to what am I gonna do you're never there right when I need you give me a cause give me a reason for your applause I'll commit treason And in my mind I know I'm right it's the same thing every night you're not to blame so don't you cry you don't need me so hurt my pride in all that time I know we tried line by line and side by side and still I pray that we'll get by but it don't seem real and I don't know why and in my mind I know I'm right it's the same thing every night you're not to blame so don't you cry you don't need me so hurt my pride and in my mind I know I'm right it's the same thing every night why do you cry you're not to blame when will you change this sad refrain this sad refrain oh when will you change this sad refrain.

Breakdown.05.50

Can't find my way home.04.52

Twisted Tenderness.05.29

You must think that I'm a fool this twisted tenderness just leaves me cool You've got me in a mess you know it's true out in the wilderness here without you Right outside it's a cruel world something happening it's distracting you're just bad news girl Never let that feeling die all you've got to do is tell a little lie don't you know it's true I will never let you down spread this message all around that I hope and that I pray you can turn my life around Take a look out there we're under house arrest and you don't care We could always be friends but you were careless right till the end I feel guilty oh it's such a shame it's frustrating it's a sad thing and there's no one else to blame Never let that feeling die all you've got to do is tell a little lie don't you know it's true I won't ever let you down spread this message all around that I hope and that I pray you won't take my love to town Tell a little lie tell a little lie that's all you have to do is tell a little lie tell a little lie tell a little lie Don't you know it's true Right outside It's a cruel world something happening it's distracting you're just bad news girl Never let that feeling die all you've got to do is tell a little lie don't you know it's true I will never let you down spread this message all around That I hope and that I pray you won't take my love to town Tell a little lie tell a little lie that's all you have to do is tell a little lie tell a little lie tell a little lie don't you know it's true don't you know it's true don't you it's true don't you know it's true.

Like no other.04.38

An ordinary man was not much in demand he lives a quiet life his wife don't understand But underneath it all this is suburban hell he's up against the wall you know he's obviously unwell She didn't like the things he did he said that he couldn't live without her he made her cry just like a kid I think this prayer needs a transfer It's a fragile situation will he lose his head or make a change in his location and just go back to bed I'll catch you when you fall and if you stumble call this driving rain has got to end just call me when you need a friend Your life is down and out the flame is burning out and when you're down it makes me suffer you're a girl just like no other Sometimes he feels so small he turns to alcohol she doesn't like the taste but then it's better than his face This connection will not mend how I pray that you'll be happy but you're in a downward trend leave this place and make it snappy Just undo this combination you know it is up to you it's time you saved your reputation I think it's overdue People throwing lives around don't you think it's sad while half the world is getting on the other's getting mad people taking lives away don't you think it's sad while the world is having fun the other half is bad Chorus & out

Late at night.04.12

I don't plan or conspire I don't want to get no higher it's your lack of ambition well they tell me, that's what it's missing All the guns out on the western front are quiet now well it's nice to hear the world breath a sigh It's like the colour of your skin you know it doesn't mean a thing nor do the clothes that we're wrapped in it doesn't matter if you're thin and though I lay awake at night I know your arms will hold me tight and I thank God we got it right here in this city late at night We are each like no other we are unique to our mother we are foals in the stable but we leave home when we're able but we all need someone like the earth needs the sun and our fate will be found in this life in the ground Don't you get it wrong It's like the colour of your skin you know it doesn't mean a thing nor do the clothes that we're wrapped in It doesn't matter if you're thin and though I lay awake at night I know your arms will hold me tight and I thank God we got it right here in this city late at night.

Prodigal son.07.07

You may be a star in your own mind but you're greatly deluded in my mine I heard reports that you drink and you take drugs most of the time and that your life is in danger And that you were involved in a crime Is it over is it over will you come home now is it over is it over don't you let me down you're the architect of your own excess join the queue At the start of the line In a wilderness with an empty sky the clouds are gone and the dessert is dry the prodigal son is returning he shouldn't be walking the streets they tell me that children are starving He's got everything that he needs is it over is it over will you come home now is it over is it over is it over is it over now Won't you come home now won't you come home now won't you come home now won't you come won't you come home won't you come home now Won't you come home now won't you come home now won't you come won't you come home

When she's gone.04.29

I'm shaking like a leaf on a tree do you understand, will you come with me don't make a sound don't even breathe they'll understand why don't we leave We can steal a ride on a bus drive down a road all covered in dust head north by north west till we reach the coast we'll find an address that don't get the post When she's gone even though she won't be long it just tears my world apart puts a hole right through my heart She let me see her new tattoo it was my name written in blue a mark of pain across her chest I was the lover on her breast So come with me and don't be afraid we could be free out of the shade your life has begun come on lets run over the ground in an air raid we've got the gun don't be afraid When she's gone even though she won't be long it just tears my world apart puts a hole right through my heart Only when this girl has gone will I know if I am wrong who would choose a life of one I can't carry on when she's gone.

King for a day.04.27

Please let me in cause my house is falling down There's trouble all over the town Let me begin And I'll tell you a story, how Dracula hunted me down show me that you care and of my presence you are aware we don't need to shout or make a fuss we are devout Well I'd like to make a call to my kid and I'd show him all the things that I did Well I'd show him all the things that I did show him all the things that I did Some people always come late others arrive in a dreadful state I didn't get there at all the gun's in the holster and it's too small Who's that outside my door the house is falling in it's world war again who's that outside my door who's that outside my door Well I'd like to make a call to my kid and I'd show him all the things that I did We'll show him all the things that I did show him all the things that I did The head of state gave up his crown

Flicker.06.27

Every time I watch T.V on the news is something major I'm a prisoner, set me free Turn this atoll into vapour Genocide put on the side it's always new Politicians want to share their point of view united nations are demanding foreign troops have made a landing city dealers at an auction shares are falling fast suicide is not an option waiting for the crash I walk this wild road can you tell me will I reach the end This endless night goes on But I still can't find my way home Misguided youth are mixing juice with alcohol desert states are praying for the rains to fall peace in Ireland is an issue goodbye bombs we're gonna miss you The southern ice has almost gone the silly fools just carry on I walk this wild road can you tell me will I reach the end this endless night goes on But I still can't find my way home I walk this wild road can you tell me will I reach the end this endless night goes on But I still carry on This world's out of reach but I don't want it the people are creeps that live here on it it's always the same it's not gonna change when we go to school with Sadam Hussein I'd cry all night if I could change it ask Jesus Christ could he arrange it Is there anyone out there who cares if a child can run free can a girl walk the street will united get beat
