Even Better Than The Real Thing - (3:41)
Give me one more chance
And you'll be satisfied
Give me two more chances
You won't be denied
Well my heart is where it's always been
My head is somewhere in between
Give me one more chance
Let me be your lover tonight
(Check it out)
You're the real thing
Yeah the real thing
You're the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Give me one last chance
And I'm gonna make you sing
Give me half a chance
To ride on the waves that you bring
You're honey child to a swarm of bees
Gonna blow right through you like a breeze
Give me one last chance
We'll slide down the surface of things
You're the real thing
Yeah the real thing
You're the real thing
Even better than the real thing
We're free to fly the crimson sky
The sun won't melt our wings tonight
Oh now
Here she comes
Take me higher
Take me higher
Can you take me higher ?
Will you take me higher ?
You're the real thing
Yeah the real thing
You're the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Mysterious Ways - (4:02)
Johnny take a walk
With your sister the moon
Let her pale light in
To fill up your room
You're been living underground
Eating from a can
You're running away
From what you don't understand
She's slippy
You're sliding down
She'll be there
When you hit the ground
It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
Johnny take a dive
With your sister the rain
Let her talk about the things
You can't explain
To touch is to heal
To hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky
Better learn how to kneel... (on your knees boy !)
She's the wave
She turns the tide
She sees the man inside the child
It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
Lift my days... light up my nights
One day you'll look back
And you'll see
Where
You were held how
By this love
While
You could stand
There
And not move on this moment
Follow this feeling
It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
We moves through miracle days
Spirit move in mysterious ways
She moves with it
She moves with it
Lift my days and light up my nights
Beautiful Day - (4:05)
The heart is a bloom,
Shoots up through the storny ground
But there's no room,
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck,
And the reason that you had to care,
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere.
You though you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace
It's a beautiful day,
The sky falls
And you feel like it's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
You're on the road,
But you got destination
You're in the mud,
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if it doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you
It's a beautiful day,
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day,
Don't let it get away
Touch me,
Take me to that other place
Teach me,
I know I'm not a hopless case
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at nigh
See the oil fields at first light
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out
It's a beautiful day,
Beautiful day,
Don't let it get away
Touch me,
Take me to that other place
Reach me,
I know I'm not a hopless case
What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
You don't need it now, you don't need it now
Beautiful day
Electrical Storm - (4:37)
The sea is swells like a sore head
And the night it is aching
Two lovers lie with no sheets on their bed
And the day it is breaking
On rainy days we go swimming out
On rainy days, swimming in the sound
On rainy days we go swimming out
You're in my mind all of the time
I know that's not enough
If the sky can crack
There must be some way back
For love and only love
Car alarm and back to sleep
You kept awake dreaming some else's dream
Coffee is cold, but it will get you through
Compromise, there's nothing new to you
Let's see colours that have never been seen
Let's go to places no one else has been
You're in my mind all of the time
I know that's not enough
If the sky can crack
There must be some way back
To love and only love
Electrical Storm
Electrical Storm
Electrical Storm
Baby don't cry
It's hot as hell, honey in this room
Sure hope the weather will break soon
The air is heavy, heavy as a truck
Hope the rain will wash away our bad luck
Heeeey... Heeeey.....
If the sky can crack, there must be some way back
For love and only love
Electrical Storm
Electrical Storm
Electrical Storm
Baby don't cry
Baby don't cry
Baby don't cry
Baby don't cry
One - (4:35)
Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same ?
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame ?
You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
It's one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you don't care for it
Did I disppoint you ?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth ?
You act like you never had love
And you whant me to go withwout
Well It's too late
Tonight
To drag the past out
Into the light
We're one
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head ?
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you made me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We got to carry each other
Carry each other
One
One
Miss Sarajevo - (4:30)
Is there a time for keeping your distance
A time to turn your eyes away
Is there a time for keeping your head down
For getting on with your day
Is there a time for kohl and lipstick
A time for cutting hair
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear
Here she comes
Heads turn around
Here she comes
To take her crown
Is there a time to run for cover
A time for kiss and tell
Is there a time for different colours
Different names you find it hard to spell
Is there a time for first communion
A time for East 17
Is there a time to turn to Mecca
Is there time to be a beauty queen
Here she comes
Beauty plays the clown
Here she comes
Surreal in her crown
Dici che il fiume
Trova la via al mare
E come il fiume
Giungerai a me
Oltre i confini
E le terre assetate
Dici che come fiume
Come fiume...
L'amore giunger
L'amore...
E non so pił pregare
E nell'amore non so pił sperare
E quell'amore non so pił aspettare
(You say that the river
Finds the way to the sea
And like the river
You shall come to me
Beyond the borders
And the thirsty lands
You say that as a river
Like a river...
Love shall come
Love...
And I'm not able to pray anymore
And I cannot hope in love anymore
And I cannot wait for that love anymore)
Is there a time for tying ribbons
A time for Christmas trees
Is there a time for laying tables
And the night is set to freeze
Stay (Faraway So Close!) - (4:58)
Green light, Seven Eleven
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
You don't smoke, don't even want to
I see you check your change
Dressed up like a car crash
The wheels are turning byt you're upside down
You say when he hits you, you don't mind
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
Is that what it is ?
Red lights, grey morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depend's on who's around
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip synch to the talk shows
And if you look, you look through me
And if you talk it's not to me
And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing
If I could stay... then the night would give you up
Stay, and the day would keep its trust
Stay, and the night would be enough
Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio
With satelite television
You can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast and Berlin
And if you listen I can't call
And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout I'll only hear you
If I could stay... then the night would give you up
Stay then the day would keep its trust
Stay with the demons you drowned
Stay with the spirit I found
Stay and the night would be enough
Three o'clock in the morning
It's quiet and there's no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel hits the ground
Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of - (4:31)
I'm not afraid of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me that i haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company
I never though you were a fool
But darling, look at you
You gotta stand up straight, Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowere,
Baby
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now you're stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
I will not forsake,
The colours that you bring
But the nights you filled with fireworks
They let you with nothing
I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I still listen through your ears, and through your eyes I can see
And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough,
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now...
My oh my
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Oh love look at you now
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
I was the unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm 'till you discouver how deep...
I wasn't jumping... for me it was a fall
It was a long way down to nothing at all
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now
You're stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if the if our way should falter
Along the stony pass
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if the if our way should falter
Along the stony pass
It's just a moment
This time will pass
Gone - (4:32)
You get to feel so guilty got so much for so little,
Then you find that feeling just won't go away...
You're holding on to every little thing so tightly,
'Till there's nothing left for you anyway...
GOODBYE YOU CAN KEEP THIS SUIT OF LIGHTS,
I'LL BE UP WITH THE SUN,
ANDNOTCOMINGDOWN... IMNOTCOMINGDOWN...
IMNOTCOMINGDOWN...
You wanted to get somewhere so badly,
You had to loose yourself along the way...
You change a name but that's okay... it's necessary...
And what you leave behind you don't miss anyway...
GOODBYE YOU CAN KEEP THIS SUIT OF LIGHTS,
I'LL BE UP WITH THE SUN,
ANDNOTCOMINGDOWN... IMNOTCOMINGDOWN...
IMNOTCOMINGDOWN...
AND I'M ALREADY GONE,
FELT that way all along,
Closer to you every day,
Didn't want it that much anyway...
You're taking steps that make you feel dizzy,
Then you get to like the way it feels,
You hurt yourself you hurt your lover...
Then you discover...
What you thought was freedom is just greed...
Goodbye... no emotional goodnight...
I'll be up WITH the sun
Are you still holding on ?
I'm not coming down...
I'm not coming down...
Until The End Of The World - (4:38)
Haven't seen you in quite a while
I was down the hold, just passing time
Last time we met it was a low-lit room
We were as close together as bride and groom
We ate the food, we drank the wine
Everybody having a good time
Except you,
You were talking about the end of the world
I took the money, I spkied your drink
You miss too much these days if you stop to thinks
You led me on with those innocent eyes
And you know I love the element of surprise
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart
You, You were acting like it was the end of the world
In my dreams I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows they learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
In waves of regret, waves of joy
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy
You, You were acting like it was the end of the world
The Hands That Built America - (4:57)
Discothèque - (4:40)
You can reach,
But you can't grab it...
You can hold it, control it
You can't bag it...
You can push,
But you can't direct it...
Circulate, regulate, oh no,
You cannot connect it...
You know you're chewing bubblegum,
You know what that is,
But you still want some,
You just can't get enough,
Of that lovei dovei stuff...
You get confused,
But you know it,
Yeah, you hurt for it, work for it, LOVE...
You don't always show it...
LET GO LET'S GO... DISCOTHÈQUE
GO GO... LET GO... DISCOTHÈQUE
Looking for the one,
But you know you're somewhere else instead...
You want to be the song,
The song that hear in your head...
LOVE...
It's not a trick...
You can't learn it...
It's the way you don't pay, that's okay,
'Cause you can't earn it...
You know you're chewing bubblegum,
You know what that is,
But you still want some,
You just can't get enough,
Of that lovei dovei stuff...
LET GO LET'S GO... DISCOTHÈQUE
GO GO... LET GO... DISCOTHÈQUE
Looking for the one,
But you know you're somewhere else instead,
I want to be the song,
Be the song that you hear in your head...
LOVE
Your Love won't be enough,
I don't need your love,
Soon you will be done...
But you take what you can get,
'Cose it's all that you can find,
Oh, you know there's something more,
But tonight, tonight, tonight...
Discothèque
Discothèque I can't get in, I paid, not enough... Boom Cha Discothèque I can't get in, I paid, not enough... Boom Cha Discothèque I can't get in, I paid, not enough... Boom Cha
Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me - (4:44)
You don't know how you took it
You just know what you got
Oh Lordy you've been stealing
From the thieves and you got caught
In the headlights
Of a stretch car
You're a star
Dressing like your sister
Living like a tart
They don't know what you're doing
Babe, it must be art
You're a headache
In a suitcase
You're a star
Oh no, don't be shy
You don't have to go blind
Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me
You don't know how you got here
You just know you want out
Believing in yourself
Almost as much as you doubt
You're a big smash
You wear it like a rash
Star
Oh no, don't be shy
It takes a crowd to cry
Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me
They want you to be Jesus
They'll go down on one knee
But they'll want their money back
If you're alive at thirty-three
And you're turning tricks
With your crucifix
You're a star
(Oh child)
Of course you're not shy
You don't have to deny love
Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me
Staring At The Sun - (4:48)
SUMMER stretching on the grass...
Summer dresses pass,
In the shade of a willow tree creeps a crawling over me,
Over me and over you stuck together with God's glue...
It's going to get stickier too...
It's been a long hot summer,
Let's go undercover,
Don't try too hard to think...
Don't think at all...
I'm not the only one starin' at the sun,
Afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside...
Not just deaf and dumb I'm staring at the sun,
Not the only one who's happy to go blind...
There's an insect in your ear if you scratch it won't disappear,
It's gonna itch and burn and sting...
Do you want to see what the scratching brings ?
Waves that leave me out of reach,
Breaking on your back like a beach...
Will we ever live in peace ?
'Cause those that can't do often have to,
Those that can't do often have to...
Preach...
To the ones staring at the sun...
Afraid of what you'll find if you took a look inside...
Not just deaf and dumb... staring at the sun...
I'm not the only one who'd rather go blind...
Intransigence is all around...
Military is still in town,
Armour plated suits and ties...
Daddy just won't say goodbye,
Referee won't blow the whistle,
God is good but will HE listen ?
I'm nearly great,
But there's something I'm missing I left in the duty free,
Though you never really belonged to me...
You're not the only one staring at the sun,
Afraid of what you'd find if you stepped back inside...
I'm not sucking my thumb,
I'm staring at the sun...
Not the only one who's happy to go blind...
Numb - (4:21)

The First Time - (3:44)
I have a lover
A lover like no other
She got soul, soul, soul, sweet soul
And she teach me how to sing
Shows me colours when there's none to see
Gives me hope when I can't believe that
For the first time I feel love
I have a brother
When I'm a brother in need
I spend my whole life running
He spends his running after me
When I feel myself going down
I just call and he comes around
But for the first time I feel love
My father was a rich man
He wears a rich man's cloak
Gave me the key to his kingdom (coming)
Gave me a cup of gold
He said "I have many mansions
And there are many rooms to see"
But I left by the back door
And I threw away the key
For the first time
For the first time
For the first time
I feel love
