Maybe I've forgotten the name and the address
Of everyone I've ever known
It's nothing I regret
Save it for another day
It's the school exam and the kids have run away
I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart
I was upset you see
Almost all the time
You used to be a stranger
Now you are mine
I wouldn't even trust you
I've not got much to give
We're dealing in the limits
And we don't know who with
You may think that I'm out of hand
That I'm naive, I'll understand
On this occasion, it's not true
Look at me, I'm not you
I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart
I was a short fuse
Burning all the time
You were a complete stranger
Now you are mine
I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain about my wounded heart
Just wait till tomorrow
I guess that's what they all say
Just before they fall apart
. . .

I turn sideways to the sun
keep my thoughts from everyone
It's a jungle, I'm a freak
Hear me talk, but never speak
So I'm stepping out of time
because breaking is a crime
And it may all be too late
but I've no passion for this hate
That's the price of love (that's the price of love)
Can you feel it (can you feel it)
If we could buy it now (that's the price of love)
how long would it last (that's the price of love)
And when this building is on fire
these flames can't burn any higher
I turn sideways to the sun
and in a moment I am gone
That's the price of love (that's the price of love)
Can you feel it (can you feel it)
If we could buy it now (that's the price of love)
how long would it last (that's the price of love)
That's the price of love (that's the price of love)
Can you feel it (can you feel it)
If we could buy it now (that's the price of love)
How long would it last (that's the price of love)

Listen
I may be wrong but you're missing
There's something wrong you could say
Ruined in a day
You could be the lover of jade
Forever on your own in the shade
Let's do it anyway
Some people like to deceive you
While others may feel that they need you
While I do the best that I can
Keeping my life in my hands
And if you feel
Your cradle rocking
Then take the wheel
Don't let me stop you
(Hang around for awhile)
But stop acting like a child
Every step we take is the one
That's gonna undo what you've done
It could take all day
Some people like to deceive you
While others may feel that they need you
But I do the best that I can
I keep my world in my hands
Some people like to deceive you
while others may feel that they need you
But I do the best that I can
. . .

Once in a while I need a friend
So why won't you let me recover
It's just a moment in your life
But sometimes we divide each other
Maybe we could find a time
Eliminate what's on your mind
We'd do everything we could
Our presence in the neighbourhood
We could break every rule
Anytime we wanted to
Don't be afraid to live this way
Lets defend the things we say
I want to be up in the air
I could be anywhere
Tell me I'm wrong, at least till tomorrow
Set me free and I will follow
Maybe we could find a time
To elevate what's on your mind
Recreate for me and you
A master plan just for two
We could break every rule
Anytime we wanted to
Don't be afraid to live this way
Lets defend the things we say
Elevate what's on your mind
. . .

At the end of the day
There's no food on our plate
So we beg and we steal
For we know love is real
And if we don't take a chance
In a spare sideways glance
These are all the chains I wanted
To justify the things I do
And when we kiss we speak as one
And in a single breath this world is gone
And when we kiss we speak as one
With a single breath this world is gone
It's a crisis I know
At the end of the show
People change but we don't falter
Cause we know love is real
This is no place to shiver
So get up off the grass
You were once the main attraction
but all that's in the past
How much is free
For me and you
I'm on my knees
I am a fool
But when we kiss we speak as one
With a single breath this world is gone
(this world is gone)
How could I fail to give her
When she cried such a lot
People change but we don't falter
Cause we use what we've got
And when we kiss we speak as one
With a single breath this world is gone
And when we kiss we speak as one
With a single breath this world is gone
(this world is gone)
(this world is gone)

Pictures of an image of a person who could not be blamed
You are a colour and you are a number
We need a sanction to see one another
If I keep my distance in the season of this slender hell
It's because of the need to live off one another
Go home young offender and stay undercover
We're busy running out of time
(Whatever it takes, I will make you mine)
I'll take the future from your hands
(All the things I've ever had, I can make the perfect crime)
We're strong, we do our thing
Let the world cry, watch the birds sing
Give me the freedom, I need to recover
Words cannot heal, when a line is your lover
Wind howls in my chamber like an angel
(like an angel)
You are a colour and you are a number
. . .

I haven't time to sympathise
With all this nonsense and your lies
You are the king of nothing
But you shall hold me
You've got your finger on the pulse
And in my pocket, yes of course
I am the voice of treason
But you betrayed me
I used up nearly all my luck
I didn't have to try
But yesterday is gone
And now I need an alibi
If this gets any stranger things are gonna change
Cause I can't stand the music, always lying
If that's what it takes I'll do it (I'll do it)
I'll keep on right on through it (on through it)
So please believe me when I say
I wouldn't give the time of day
Because then I'd be faking
When I could tell the truth
Were you abandoned in your youth
Because if not, you will be soon
I'm growing tired of waiting
. . .

Any kind of fool with the will to live
Tries to get it right with the one they're with
But even though I give you special treatment
You keep getting high juvenile delinquent
And this is how it feels to be
On the payroll company
Your every scene is in the round
And all the men are falling down
Constantly harrassed and misunderstood
I'm the 'lost and found' of the neighbourhood
And I am not a part of society
So don't get off the ground just be with me
And this is how it feels to be
On the payroll company
Your every scene is in the round
And all the men are falling down
I would brave the rainstorm in my car
Maybe you can leave but you won't get far
It wasn't just a dream it was much too good
Just another day in the brotherhood
And this is how it feels to be
On the payroll company
Your every scene is in the round
And all the men are falling down
And this is how it feels to be
On the payroll company
Your every scene is in the round
. . .

In a manger like Christ I lay
Yellow fever, yellow hay
Feel the rhythm, sweetest sound
Making, breaking sacred ground
I'd give you a piece of my love for free
But whatever I say you'll never see
Acquire a taste for a different sound
Make or break it this side of town
Life will never be the same
In Port-Royal town, I hear it coming
The shaking of the ground
They're stealing in the day
In Port-Royal town, the children are running
Ever strange the lives we lead
So detached from the things we need
Signs of greed in everyone
Instant eviction and the blood on a gun
Just when you think you've found it
Spinning world I want to spin around it
What is wrong? This pain won't peel
. . .

It isn't what it used to be
I wake up every night
On the stairs
Waiting for the dawn to come
Every drop of wine
You can be my time
Only tomorrow knows
Why do we beg when we can borrow
This time we knew
No more or less
There's nothing left
It was always special
It was like water down the drain
I'm intoxicated
Every time I hear your name
I try to remember
But nothing is the same
It wasn't that I didn't try
It's not the kind of thing, that you buy
Written in my destiny
Life is but a dream
Covered by the sky
Stop saying that you're calling time
Look at your life before you start on mine
I'm not the kind of person that you need
I'm sick of trying
I mean that it's over
It was always special
It was like water down the drain
I'm intoxicated
Every time I hear your name
I try to remember
But nothing is the same
It was always special
it was like water down the drain
Patiently you wait for me
You're so blind
I thought it couldn't be
Then changed my mind
Drowning in the endless sea
Line all those lines
The traces of your memory
