How Was I To Know?

On HCA Boulevard
Two people walking hand in hand
Grasping every moment
Every memory while they can
It's the best city he says
I laugh and say, oh yeh!
Small moments of joy
While we were together
I asked would it last
Never say never
It's what we became
It's so romantic he claimed
He said, I love you, I need you, I want you so much
You held my hands across the cafe table
The kissing cinema could tell some tales
How was I to know that you would change your mind so fast?
I laughed out loud and said what are you like?
I took a deep breath as we looked at a new life
How was I to know that you would change your mind so fast?
You spotted a dress
You thought it would suit me
I said don't be silly so you bought me a CD
I smile while you pay and I will play it someday
That day will arrive
When my heart is not broken
Those words that were said
Those words that should never have been spoken
They were so revealing
You were always teasing
He said, I love you, I need you, I want you so much
You held my hands across the cafe table
The kissing cinema could tell some tales
How was I to know that you would change your mind so fast?
I laughed out loud and said what are you like?
I took a deep breath as we looked at a new life
How was I to know that you would change your mind so fast?

Don't Look Back
03:57
|
|||
|
Time goes so slow
Everyday my heart it hangs so low
Then I hear that you put the blame on me
So easy how one forgets
It's what you tell our friends
Let's put it to the test
Those words you say
They'll come back to haunt you
When you mean't every word
How come? It sounds absurd
When two weeks go by and you walk away and
Don't look back
I guess I was right
When you looked into my eyes
As you lied
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
As you lied
I love you, I love you, I do, I do love you
Time, give it more
But I can't believe my hearts still raw
They say that time heals
But this silence kills me
I hate myself to beg
I do it everyday
Unable to move on
Those words you say
They come back to haunt me
When you mean't every word
How come? It sounds absurd
When two weeks go by and you walk away and
Don't look back
I guess I was right
When you looked into my eyes
As you lied
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
As you lied
I love you, I love you, I do, I do love you
Oh why did you have to hurt me so bad
Oh why did you have to leave me like that
Oh why, oh why
When you mean't every word
How come? It sounds absurd
When two weeks go by and you walk away and
Don't look back
I guess I was right
When you looked into my eyes
As you lied
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
As you lied
I love you, I love you, I do, I do love you

Always Be My Friend
04:55
|
|||
|
Life can be like one magic ride
You don't know which way you're going
If I can see a clear blue sky
There's no way this train is slowing
Take my hand and we can go
To golden sands, no-one will know
It's good to know that you are there
Too care, oh!
Oh dear me
I'm up far too late again for me
It's got to be near to three
But maybe, maybe, maybe it's right for me
I take my time
I don't rely on too much now
I see your light
It's quite nice and a joy to watch
The sounds that come out of the radio
They say you'll always be my friend
It takes the strain from the week
That I've had to know
That you're there gives me peace of mind and now
When it comes to the sounds on the radio
I know you'll always be my friend
Life, it can take you for a ride
Never tell if you are winning
But if I could reach that distant light
It all comes down to timing
Take my hand and we can go
To golden sands, no-one will know
It's good to know that you are there
You care oh!
Oh dear me
I'm up far too late again I see
It's got to be near to three
But maybe, maybe, maybe it's right for me
I take my time
I don't rely on too much now
I see your light
It's quite nice and a joy to watch
The sounds that come out of the radio
They say you'll always be my friend
It takes the strain from the week
That I've had to know
That you're there gives me peace of mind and now
When it comes to the sounds on the radio
I know you'll always be my friend

High As A Kite
04:07
|
|||
|
I never said you where my hero
But your the devils own cure
I feel you want to break me
My spirits come soaring down
I never would have believed you
I thought it was a love so pure
I feel you want to break me
My spirits come soaring down
Come down your high as a kite
I'm sinking low while you reach heights
I'm desperately in need to know
If you come down I'll let you know
Tell me where you are going
It's funny how I'm the one left standing
Appreciate a prayer worth telling
So you think you're better off in heaven
Maybe you should make a killing
The girl with the blue eyes says
Why the hell should I be well behaved?
Look girl you say too much, so shutup
You pray in the spot were I fell
Come down your high as a kite
I'm sinking low while you reach heights
I'm desperately in need to know
If you come down I'll let you know
Tell me where you are going
Tell me where you are going
Come down your high as a kite
I'm sinking low while you reach heights
The anger in my heart will show
If you come down I'll let you know
Tell me where you are going
Tell me where you are going

Seattle In The Sun
05:40
|
|||
|
We decided to take a short trip to the other side
Before long, the plane was up, then came down
I had arrived
Now I see you like I've never seen you before
A fine attempt to enhance our lives
It was all a nice surprise
But you never saw the crying or the broken heart
But don't worry I'm not about to fall apart
I was thinking, I was thinking
You can't do that if you're gone
You'll never feel the earth move
You will never see the sun
Or feel Seattle in the sun
Or ever see me smile again for you
So the things we believed in
We got them sorted in a day
A year has passed now
Many tears portray
Not very much in the way of saying goodbye
But it doesn't matter today
It doesn't matter today
You never came round to my way of thinking
I never doubted the way that my mind was ticking away
You can't do that if you're gone
You'll never feel the earth move
You will never see the sun
Or feel Seattle in the sun
Or ever see me smile again for you
Seattle, Seattle, oooh sha la la la la
You can't do that if you're gone
You'll never feel the earth move
You will never see the sun
Or feel Seattle in the sun
Or ever see me smile again for you
Or will you ever hold me in your arms again
Or will you ever see me smile again for you
Or will you ever hold me in your arms again

Don't Get Involved
05:53
|

|
What do you think is going to happen if you say you care?
What do you think is going to happen, will you go nowhere?
What do you think is going to happen if you say, I really miss you?
What do you think is going to happen if you say, she don't deserve this
Is the world going to explode
Into a million pieces
With nothing left to hold
Is the world going to come to an end
Shift into another dimension
With nothing left to share
Don't get involved
You may lose your chance of five minutes of fame
On his boulevard
Don't get involved
You may lose your chance of five minutes of fame
On his boulevard
What do you think is going to happen if you say a prayer?
What do you think is going to happen, if you show you care?
What do you think is going to happen if you say, I think she loves you?
What do you think is going to happen if you say, she don't deserve this
Is the world going to explode
Into a million pieces
With nothing left to hold
Is the world going to come to an end
Shift into another dimension
With nothing left to share
Don't get involved
You may lose your chance of five minutes of fame
On his boulevard
Don't get involved
You may lose your chance of five minutes of fame
On his boulevard

I Wish You Well
04:38
|
|||
|
I wish you well
Do you know how hurtful that sounds?
I wish you well
As my heart lays crippled and bound
You erase me
Make me, feel so lonely
Now that you have made me
Feel so low
But you wished me well
You wished me well
The words of a man who...
You ran away
I never heard the bells
The words of a man who...
You ran way and I couldn't tell
Because I loved you and now you're gone
I can't forget you
Dododododo x2
I wish you well
But it's going to have to be without me
Your hands are tied
You just weren't willing to try
You held me, sleeping, cold and haunting
The memory it crushes my insides
He wished me well
He wished me well
The words of a man who...
You ran away
I never heard the bells
The words of a man who...
You ran way and I couldn't tell
Because I loved you and now you're gone
I can't forget you
Dodododo x4
The words of a man who...
You ran away
I never heard the bells
The words of a man who...
You ran way and I couldn't tell
Because I loved you
Ooooh shalalalala

Waiting To Go Round
05:18
|

|
Baby, you said that you would come back and take me with you
I don't know, where you have gone
I don't care, if you'll come home
I got worse as time moved on
We're sitting in the same world
Just waiting to go round
..and you'll take me there and you'll love my heart
It will feel so good, it will feel so warm
This just feels so right and I want you badly, badly
Come back baby
Round and round and round x 4
Baby, you said that you were beyond this, playing with me
I don't know, where you have gone
I don't care, if you'll come home
I got worse as time moved on
We're sitting in the same world
Just waiting to go round
..and you'll take me there and you'll love my heart
It will feel so good, it will feel so warm
This just feels so right and I want you badly, badly
Before I go crazy
Round and round and round (waiting to go) x 4
Round and round and round
(baby you said you were beyond this) to end

More Than This
04:42
|
|||
|
Remember that time when we walked into summer
Surrounded by people loving us
Now and then I think back to them times
Nothing quite like it, ever goes
Way back then, I'd look at you
And hope for a perfect day
Now I see a desperate longing
descend into the grey
Down and out in new beginnings
Surrounded by mountains red and gold
A scene provoked through new situations
They faded past me, but I'm too slow to go
Way back then, I'd look at you
And hope for a different way hey
Now I see a desperate longing
descend into the grey
Now I know just who changed the weather
Taking my moods and twisting them round
Straighten out those very long hot tempers
Throwing them round, until there's no way out
Give me something more than this
I know, because I've seen it
I've had it, I want it
I've had it here
I want it, I've seen it
I've witnessed it here
Cos I want it, I'll have it
I know it's there, I've seen it here
I want it, I need it, I'll have it

The Last To Know
03:46
|
|||
|
Through the glass I saw that
You looked like the whole of my life
In the mirror, in the mirror
I see your face, but it didn't last
Now I feel so important
I think I'll knock down your door
But the usual interruptions in my life
They leave me raw
Only unhappy people like
The last to know, I'm always
The last to know, some things
The last to know, I'm always
The last to know a thing called love
The days just pass on bye
Then I just close my eyes to this
I don't want to, I don't want to listen
So I think, I'll just hide under this blanket
I can't see out, I didn't want to listen and I didn't want to shout
But I thought, I better look, in case you came for me
Only unhappy people like
The last to know, I'm always
The last to know, some things
The last to know, I'm always
The last to know a thing called love

Pull You Down
03:28
|
|||
|
As prophets go
You're kind of dazzled by the world
something passed you in the way of life
Even though, I kind of like you more than most
Something breaks your inner feelings
Well I'm so tired
Just leave me alone
Worrying times
They're all so above you
You feel no remorse
While I'm feeling so low
So tired of this and that and you
I'll pull you down x 2
Window view
I see your face, you're walking past
Something hits you on the head at last
Oh by the way, do you know the time of day
Are you living in a stoneage
Well I'm so tired
Of being me
Desolate child
So bored to be free
One to one, means nothing at all
I live to lie and fight
I'll pull you down (lalala)
I'd break my back to pull you down x 2

Sinking In The Sand
03:44
|
|||
|
Lifting my head up of the pillow
It's been so hard for months and still
Everyday, I walk through my front door
Sit on my stairs and cry some tears
Oh my word
What a day!
Little bird, won't you come out to play
I am not going to be
The one that you see
When you wake everyday
Are you sinking in the sand
That's just how you left me
Is it fair to share it
That's just how you left me
Slowly, sinking in the sand
Now that you're gone
My life has withdrawn
It's not the same
Without you around
Sitting pretty
Going, oh well
Ha!Ha!Ha!
Project over and then you move on
Oh my word
What a day!
Little bird, won't you come out to play
I am not going to be
The one that you see
When you wake everyday
Are you sinking in the sand
That's just how you left me
Is it fair to share it
That's just how you left me
Slowly, sinking in the sand
Oh woe and I think of you
You hold me in your arms
I think of you
Won't you pull me back
I'm not going to be
The one that you see
When you wake everyday
Are you hurting like me
I am not going to be
The one that you see
When you wake everyday
Are you sinking in the sand
I am not going to be
The one that you see
When you wake everyday
Are you sinking in the sand
That's just how you left me
Is it fair to share it
That's just how you left me
Slowly, sinking in the sand

I Mean That
03:26
|
|||
|
Danger in my mind today
Lost in a silence
This thing that life portrays for me
I can't defy it
To see a past that's long and gone
To know that I'm not worth that
If I say my loves so strong
You'll know that I will mean that
Simplify this emptiness
With lots of whining and crying
Now I see that superficial way of wanting
I know that life's not easy though
I've lived these years to know that
But don't you think that the time has come
To put some luck in my hat
I know that this
Is just the start
Of all those years
That don't go anywhere
To see a past that's long and gone
To know that I'm not worth that
If I say my loves so strong
You'll know that I will mean that x 2

Welcome To Soonville
06:48

I have to tell this story
And I am not sorry to
You can have the blame back
I won’t except it
I’ve nothing to lose
Who’s sorry now?
When the world finds out?
I’ll be standing up high
And YOU
Will be no-one amongst the crowd
Welcome To Soonville
They say that all your dreams come true here
Even seduction,
It got you past the ocean
Even the notion,
It brought us mixed emotions
Welcome To Soonville
They say that all your dreams will come true
Not so clever thinking,
Feeling love before,
Then guilt in your dreams,
(Remember when your bad dreams stopped,
you said I was the reason for that).
Broken hearts in Soonville
It’s my place to grieve
(Remember when you said that you,
took my love so serious oh)
You stole my heart
When the world finds out
I’ll be standing up high
And you will be no-one
Amongst the crowd
Welcome To Soonville
They say that all your dreams come true here
Even seduction,
It got you past the ocean
Even the notion,
It brought us mixed emotions
Welcome To Soonville
They say that all your dreams will come true
Who’s sorry now?
When the world finds out?
I’ll be standing up high
And YOU
Will be no-one amongst the crowd
Welcome To Soonville
They say that all your dreams come true here
Even seduction,
It got you past the ocean
Even the notion,
It brought us mixed emotions
Welcome To Soonville
They say that all your dreams will come true here
Will all come true here
Will all come true here
(Even seduction it got you past the ocean)
Will all come true here
(Even the notion it brought us mixed emotions)
