The Music
1. On The Way (3.18)
Well good morning,
it’s a new day in your elementary ground,
It’s the time to be the captain
or the loser of the crown.
But you know it’s true,
you’ve seen it in their eyes,
And you know it’s true,
there’s nothing to disguise.
But if somebody looks into your heart,
They’ll find no room to spare.
And if somebody tears your world apart,
That’s fine, keep your head up high.
‘Cause I’ve seen your face,
In a thousand different ways.
And I’ve seen you smile,
And I know that love is somewhere on the way.
Well you know that he’s the kind of boy
Who’s physically sound,
And you know that if you took your chance
He’d punch you to the ground.
But you know it’s true,
you’ve seen it in his eyes,
And you know it’s true,
there’s nothing to disguise.
2. No More Misery (3.31)
There she comes all dressed in black,
She’s a sheer queen of heart attack.
She’s a mean machine in a life of love,
But I know you’ll be on my side.
No more misery, just a song that we sing.
No more misery for me.
No more misery, just a life without greed.
No more misery for me.
There is nothing more to prove,
She’s out to get you win or lose.
Can you hear the screams of your lonely life,
But I know you’ll be on my side.
No more misery, just a song that we sing.
No more misery for me.
No more misery, just a life without greed.
No more misery for me.
She’s only waiting for the chance to shine,
She’s never waiting for you.
But nobody’s waiting,
nobody’s waiting,
For you.
3. Songbird (2.58)
Paint your picture on my wall,
I’ll see you when you come to call,
And I am not a stranger to myself.
There’s no need to terrify,
Your love for me will never die,
And I am not a stranger to myself.
But I’ve seen you in your silver room,
In your paper house
And your golden rules
But if a songbird sings into your ear,
Just let go.
And if the love burns deep inside your fear,
Let it show.
We’ll let the road run on forever,
Never give it away.
We’ll let the flames burn out tonight.
Send me a postcard from your mind,
I’ll see you on the other side,
Make it out to whom it may concern.
Images of broken dreams,
And tales of woe and pastoral scenes,
Poetry of meaningless design.
4. I Want The World To Know My Name (3.24)
Coming out of nowhere,
You’re dreaming all your life.
Living in this wide world,
Watching it all go by.
Living through your nightmares,
To floating in the sea.
Watching all this wide world,
Fall inside of me.
‘Cause I know the stars don’t see me,
And I know that you don’t need me,
I know that you don’t feel my pain.
I know the stars don’t see me,
And I know that you don’t need me,
‘Cause I want the world to know my name,
And I think that’s why I’m here.
I’ve never had this feeling,
At any place or time,
I’m falling through this wide world,
With everything I find.
‘Cause I know the stars don’t see me,
And I know that you don’t need me,
I know that you don’t feel my pain.
I know the stars don’t see me,
And I know that you don’t need me,
‘Cause I want the world to know my name,
And I think that’s why I’m here.
You know what’s in my head,
You know what’s in my head.
And I think that’s why I’m here,
Just to live inside your fear,
And I think that’s why I came,
So the world can know my name.
5. Follow You (3.42)
Something is changing today.
There’s a war outside the walls in which we stay.
Time waits for no one they tell us,
But it’s too late for us to say.
One day we’ll take on the world,
One day we’ll sing to be heard.
‘Cause there ain’t nothing wrong,
just a need to belong.
To live inside yourself forever.
Under rain, wind or shine,
we can learn over time.
I will follow you forever.
Something is changing today.
There’s a war inside the walls in which we stay.
Time waits for no one they tell us,
But it’s too late for us to say.
One day we’ll take on the world,
One day we’ll sing to be heard.
‘Cause there ain’t nothing wrong,
just a need to belong.
To live inside yourself forever.
Under rain, wind or shine,
we can learn over time.
I will follow you forever.
6. I Tell All My Secrets To My Guitar (2.50)
One day I’ll find a place to look,
I’ll see the chances that I took.
I’m moving closer to the sun,
I’m passing clouds by one by one.
One day I’ll find the words to say,
I’ll think of you some more each day.
‘Cause I tell all my secrets to my guitar,
When I’m looking for answers to where we are.
One day I’ll find a place to go,
One day I’ll find a place I’ll know.
But it will always be the same old way,
Nothing’s ever gonna change,
So don’t you try and give it away,
Don’t leave me down.
One day I’ll find a place to go,
I’ll play my songs to a girl I know.
I’ll lead the way if you follow me,
‘Cause I’ve seen the places you want to see
One day I’ll find a place to go,
One day I’ll find a place I’ll know.
But it will always be the same old way,
Nothing’s ever gonna change,
So don’t you try and give it away,
Don’t leave me down.
7. New Direction (4.08)
When I was young I thought I had my own way,
I knew exactly where I wanted to belong.
Now I look into my own reflection,
I know I’m looking in a new direction now.
But time ain’t always with you
and it’s slipping away everyday,
And the teacher never listens
to the boy with a dream anyway.
All we ever wanted was somebody to believe in,
All we ever needed was a chance.
All we ever needed was someone to share the dream with,
Is that too much for anyone to ask?
Now forever isn’t such a long time,
‘Cause I’ve been talking to the people that I know.
Now I’m looking in a new direction,
I’ll never look into my own reflection now.
But time ain’t always with you
and it’s slipping away everyday,
And the teacher never listens
to the boy with a dream anyway.
All we ever wanted was somebody to believe in,
All we ever needed was a chance.
All we ever needed was someone to share the dream with,
Is that too much for anyone to ask?
Now you’ve gone, and thrown it all away.
The time has gone there’s nothing you can say.
But it’s never gonna change,
It’ll always be this way,
And it’s never gonna change anymore.
8. We’ll Never Make It Alone (4.12)
I came looking for something new,
looking for something that was true,
But the whole world is so against me.
She came into and out of the blue,
looking for me never looking for you,
But the whole world is so against me.
Cause everyone is waiting, for some kind of changing,
And nothing’s gonna stop me from the ending.
We’ll never make it alone,
We’ll never make it alone,
We’ll never make, we’ll never break,
We’ll never make it alone.
So then I look around for the day,
look into me to believe in a way,
But the whole world is so against me.
She came into and out of the blue,
looking for me never looking for you,
Will she ever see the ending.
Cause I’m still waiting, for some kind of changing,
But nothing’s gonna stop me from the ending.
We’ll never make it alone,
We’ll never make it alone,
We’ll never make, we’ll never break,
We’ll never make it alone.
9. Walking In Circles (3.12)
Everybody’s got their own opinions,
Everybody’s got something to say.
Everybody’s got their own ambitions,
They just wanna get it through to you,
They just wanna get it through to you.
Somebody’s got to believe it,
But they don’t hear a word that you say.
You’ve just got to take it or leave it,
Don’t let them take you, don’t let them bring you down.
You think you’re clever but you’ve nothing to say,
You think you’re tough you know you’re walking away,
You think you’re clever but you’re walking around in circles.
You think you’re different but you all look the same,
You think you know me but you don’t know my name.
You think you’re clever but you’re walking around in circles.
10. Better Day (2.52)
When I was young I thought that I could
Find a better way,
I dreamed a dream for all my life and
Now it’s gone away.
Now I don’t believe a word they say.
Everywhere I look I see your face.
I’d like to take you with me
But I haven’t got a ticket anymore.
So now the dream has been and gone to
Find a better day.
It turned my life right upside down and
Left me on my face.
Now it’s up to me to make a change,
This fairytale is more than I can take.
I’d like to take you with me
But I haven’t got a ticket anymore.
All I ever wanted was a chance to say that
I am not afraid.
Now I see a new beginning,
Now there’s something to believe in,
Now the time has come for me
To tell the world that I am not afraid.
So in the end the story goes that
I will have to wait.
Now I look into my eyes to
See what I create.
I believe that time will overcome,
I believe that love will seal my fate.
I’d like to take you with me
But I haven’t got a ticket anymore.
11. Not On My Life (5.37)
I was talking to the one they know,
telling me to go,
Not on my life.
Wandering round with everyone they see,
telling me to be,
Not on my life.
All those stupid things I’ve said,
they were bringing me down like I’ll never forget.
Making me feel like there’s something instead,
Telling me everything will be alright...
Tell it to me again.
I was falling from the sky above,
from neverending love,
Not on my life.
But everything is never as it seemed,
forever in my dreams,
Not on my life.
All those stupid things I’ve said,
they were bringing me down like I’ll never forget.
Making me feel like I’m already there,
Telling me everything will be alright...
Tell it to me again.
But there ain’t no use in telling me your stories,
‘Cause I know everything will turn out fine.
When I was young they told me there’s no other way
To reach the other side.
But do they know, and do they see?
Do they know?
