I Want You
02:28

I don't need your body
God gave me hands
I don't need you to move me
I just need to dance
I don't need to marry
I don't need the chance
I don't mean to love you
but you've got me in a trance
And I want it
Yeah I want it
So badly
And I want you
Yeah I want you
So badly
I don't need to feel your touch
With my imagination
I don't need to care so much
Like pure intoxication
And I don't need to creep & clutch
With this infatuation
I don't need to feel too much
But you got my whole attention
And I want it
Yeah I want it
So badly
And I want you
Yeah I want you
So badly

Man
02:53

Why do I
Need your counselling?
Suffering's sold by the gallon & I drank it all
I'm full up on it
My dizziness is resolute in its search for the wall
You talk to me like you're dishing the dirt
You walk around like you wanna get hurt
Bless the stress in your eyes
Don't you know that only poor men die?
The rich man he sells the story
The preacher decides the page
The leaders decide the prison
& the poor man fills the cage
Why should I
Need to hide my face?
Everyone knows that the truth is right here in my eyes
I'm a basket case
Led with no proof that the life we are leading is lies
You talk to me like you have all the facts
You walk around like you cannot relax
Bless the stresses in your ride
Don't you know that only rich men thrive?
The rich man he sells the story
The preacher decides the page
The leaders decide the prison
& the poor man fills the cage

Eden
02:58
|
|||
|
You can take my limbs and chop them into pieces
Crush my heart and grind away my bones
But banish me to Hell and I'll find Eden
Feed me to the sky and I'll find gold
You can take away my rags and all my riches
You can take the bricks that keep me dry
But banish me to walk this ground uneven
And I will turn your reason into lies
You can take your science and religion
Put it where the sun will never shine
All I need to find is my own freedom
All I need to live is my own life
You can take my limbs and chop them into pieces
Crush my heart and grind away my bones
But banish me to Hell and I'll find Eden
Feed me to the sky and I'll find gold

Sick 'N' Tired
02:40
|
|||
|
I'm so sick and tired of people picking a fight
I'm so sick and tired of people trying to be right
I'm so tired of you telling me I'm wrong
Cause I'm just trying to get to by just singing my song
I'm so sick of war and all the K.I.A
I got sick of hearing with the I.R.A
I'm so bored for looking out for bombs
I'm just trying to get by just singing my song
I'm so sick of power mad and hungry thieves
I'm so sick of all the tricks that fill their sleeves
I'm so tired from always feeling robbed
Cause I'm just trying to get by just singing my song
Yes I'm just trying to get by just singing my song

You're wearing my salvation down
This cross is getting too heavy to hold
My lungs are aching now
My chest is aching now
The more I try to fight the tide
The more it seems my head's underwater
The more I try to swim
The less I have the will to carry on
Though I keep the fight
I know I'm never right at all
So lay me down, in the dirt
Where I belong
I'm laying my foundations down
I need the time to lay the bricks and build a house
But I'm bored of painting now
My chest is heavy now
The more I try to fight the tide
The more it seems my head's underwater
The more I try to swim
The less I have the will to carry on
Though I keep the fight
I know I'm never right at all
So lay me down, in the dirt
Where I belong
You're teasing my frustrations
You've lain the straw that broke my back and brought me down
You've made decisions now
You've made your choice
I'm bored of changing now
I'm bored of trying now
I'm bored of changing for you
I'm bored of trying now
The more I try to fight the tide
The more it seems my head's underwater
The more I try to swim
The less I have the will to carry on
Though I keep the fight
I know I'm never right at all
So lay me down, in the dirt
Where I belong

Feed Me to the Mould
03:52
|
|||
|
Liberate your voice
Instead of wasting time to us it
On the ones who will abuse it
Get a grip on yourself
And I will offer you my kindness
In return for all your blindness
Take away my body and my soul
Take away the people that I hold
Take the rest and feed it to the mould
Cause when I'm gone, I will be forever young
Take a look at your skin
We know that no one's getting younger
So we've got to feed this hunger
Let it out and let me in
And I will offer you my shoulder
When the world is getting colder
Take away my body and my soul
Take away the people that I hold
Take the rest and feed it to the mould
Cause when I'm gone, I will be forever young

Waiting
03:48
|

When I met you
You were a 6 and I was a 4
But now you are a 10 and I am nothing
Well I've left you
For my best friend's kitchen floor
And all the cracks remind me of your loving
I'll be where you're waiting for me
Even if the sun don't shine
Any time you need to call
I'll be by
With a smile and love in mind
I bet you
We'd be two forever more
But those words are lies and I am bluffing
Well I love you so much
So don't be afraid to cry
We'll chase away those tears if they keep running
I'll be where you're waiting for me
Even if the sun don't shine
Any time you need to call
I'll be by
With a smile and love in mind
And I say hey
Why do we fight so hard instead of making love
All the birds and bees would envy us
So much
But still we let it go
And still I wonder why
And I say woman
What was the point in us ever breaking up
Will the poetry never be enough
For us
And yet the words they stick
And still my tongue is tied
And I say
I'll be where you're waiting for me
Even if the sun don't shine
Any time you need to call
I'll be by
With a smile and love in mind

Fighting the Urge
02:56
|
|||
|
Oh my God
You look so beautiful tonight
I'd take all of my chances to lay with you
'Til the morning light
And I'm fighting the urge
Just to hold you
Nobodies gonna stop me now...
Oh my God
Please let me stay with you tonight
I've dreamed of this moment forever
I can not wait another life
Cause I'm fighting the urge
Just to lay with you
I'm fighting the urge
Just to lay with you
Nobodies gonna stop me now...
Nothings gonna slow me down...
Nobodies gonna know just how...
Much I love you!
Oh my God
You are so beautiful tonight
And I'm fighting the urge
Just to hold you
I'm fighting the urge
Just to lay with you
I'm fighting the urge
Just to love you
Nothings gonna stop me now...

Should I or Shouldn't I
03:20

Shouldn't I
Couldn't I
Wouldn't I have loved you
Wouldn't I have loved you
More than I did
Couldn't I
Shouldn't I
Should I have loved you
Should I have loved you
More than I did
When there's no one left to rival us
When the trees and stones return to dust
When the silly things amount to lust
There will be nothing left apart from us
When no day or night can be enough
When the lonely soldiers bury us
Where there's no below and no above
There will be nothing left apart from our love
Shouldn't I
Should I
Should I have loved you
Should I have loved you
More than I did
Should I
Shouldn't I
Shouldn't I have loved you
More than I ever did
When there's no one left to rival us
When the trees and stones return to dust
When the silly things amount to lust
There will be nothing left apart from us
When no day or night can be enough
When the lonely soldiers bury us
Where there's no below and no above
There will be nothing left apart from our love
Should I
Shouldn't I
Should I have loved you
Should I have loved you
More than I did
Should I
Should I
Couldn't I I have loved you
More than I ever did
When there's no one left to rival us
When the trees and stones return to dust
When the silly things amount to lust
There will be nothing left apart from us
When no day or night can be enough
When the lonely soldiers bury us
Where there's no below and no above
There will be nothing left apart from our love

Run Rabbit
03:52
|
|||
|
Say, you better run rabbit
Run rabbit run
Farmer's gonna get you
With his big, bad gun
Gonna hunt you down
He's gonna take you
He's gonna blow you down
He's gonna break you
One day you'll wake up
Find your old self dead
Then you're gonna realise
It was all in your head
But there's nothing now
And no one to wake you
There's nowhere to run somehow
No one to save you
Death will enslave you
This is not a bad dream
Or a dark in the light
This is not a big screen
Or a bark in the night
It's the final sound
Sent by chorus of rifles
This is the wasted ground
Of your kings and disciples
Can you hear the rifles
Say, you better run rabbit
Run rabbit run
Farmer's gonna get you
With his big bad gun
He's gonna hunt you down
He's gonna take you
He's gonna blow you down
He's gonna rape you
Death will enslave you
