1 Leave In Silence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've told myself so many times before
But this time I thing I mean it for sure,
We have reached a full stop,
Nothing's going to save us from the big drop.
Reached our natural conclusion,
Outlived the illusion,
I hate being in these situations
That call for diplomatic relations.
If I only knew the answer,
Or I thought we had a change,
Or I could stop this,
I would stop this thing
From spreading like a cancer.
What can I say,
I don't want to play any more.
What can I say,
I'm heading for the door.
I can't stand this emotional violence.
Leave in silence.
Leave in silence.
We've been running round in circles all year,
Doing this and that and getting nowhere.
This will be the last time,
I think I said that last time.
If only had a potion,
Some magical lotion,
That could stop this,
I would set the wheels in motion.
2 My Secret Garden
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My Secret Garden's no so secret anymore!
Run from the house, holding my head in my hands,
Feeling dejected, feeling like a child might feel,
It all seems so absurd,
That this should have occurred,
My very only secret
And I had to go and leak it!
My Secret Garden's not so secret anymore!
No, my Secret Garden's not so secret anymore!
Run through the fields, down to the edge of the water,
Can't stay long, Here comes the reason why -
She'll catch me if she can.
Take me by the hand,
I'll have to keep on running
And I just can't see the fun in
My Secret Garden not being secret anymore!
It used to be so easy
On days such as these she'd
Search and search for hours
In among the flowers.
I loved it! - I loved her!
Play the fool, act so cruel - I loved it!
Read her book, take a look - I loved her!
Play the fool act so cruel - I loved it!
Read her book, take a look - I loved her!
It all seams so absurd,
That this should have occurred,
My very only secret
And I had to go and leak it!
My Secret Garden's not so secret anymore.
3 Monument
~~~~~~~~~~
When the site was found
We laid the foundations down.
It didn't take long before
They came back tumbling down.
Don't build at night
You need a little light.
How else you going to see
What it is going to be like!
So we picked up our tools
And we worked in the morning light.
With the last stone placed
Wasn't it a wonderful sight.
But it fell back down
And scattered all around,
Anything passes
When you need glasses!
My Monument - it fell down
My Monument - it fell down
Work all of my days for this kind of praise,
It fell down
Work all of my days - it fell down.
4 Nothing To Fear
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Instrumental)
5 See You
~~~~~~~~~
All I want to do is see you again.
Is that too much to ask for?
I just want to see your sweet smile,
Smiled the way it was before.
Well I'll try not to hold you
And I'll try not to kiss you.
And I won't even touch you.
All I want to do is see you
Don't you know that is true.
I remember the days when we walked through
the woods,
We'd sit on a bench for a while.
I treasure the way we used to laugh and play
And look in each others eyes.
You can keep me at a distance if you don't
trust my resistance.
But I swear I won't touch you.
Well I know five years is a long time and that times
change
But I think that you'll find people are basically
the same.
If the water's still flowing we can go for a swim
And do the things we used to do.
And if I'm reluctant you can pull me in,
We can relive our youth.
But we'll just stay friendly like sister and brother
Though I think I still love you.
6 Satellite
~~~~~~~~~~~
Now hear this my friends,
I'll never be the same again,
Going to lock myself in a cold black room,
Going to shadow myself in a veil of gloom,
I will function, operate,
I will be a satellite of hate.
Driving to this point by a chain of events,
Each one pushed me nearer the edge.
Going to send my message through to you,
You'll receive the signal too.
I will function, operate,
I will be a satellite of hate.
Higher, Higher
Disillusioned - I was disenchanted,
Forgot the love that had been implanted,
Heard the lies and I felt the cold,
It broke my heart and I lost control -
Now I'm a satellite of a free state,
I'm a satellite of hate.
7 The Meaning Of Love
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've read more than a hundred books,
Seeing love mentioned many thousand times,
But despite all the places I've looked,
It's still no clearer,
It's just not enough,
I'm still no nearer
The meaning of love
Noted down all my observations
Spent an evening watching television
Still I couldn't say with precision
Know it's a feeling and it comes from above,
But what's the meaning
The meaning of love
(Tell me).
From the notes that I've made so far,
Love seems something like wanting a scar,
But I could be wrong,
I'm just not sure you see,
I've never been in love before
Next I asked several friends of mine,
If they could spare a few minutes of their time,
Their looks suggested that I've lost my mind,
Tell me the answer
My Lord high above
Tell me the meaning,
The meaning of love
From the notes that I've made so far,
Love seems something like wanting a scar,
But I could be wrong,
I'm just not sure you see,
I've never been in love before
The meaning of love
(Tell me)
Tell me the meaning of love
(Tell me).
8 A Photograph Of You
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What good is a photograph of you?
Everytime I look at it.
It makes me feel blue!
What use is a souvenir
Of something we once had,
When all it ever does is
Make me feel bad!
I wish I could tear it up.
But then again I haven't the guts!
I wish I could throw it on the fire,
I wish I could,
But to say I would,
I'd be a liar!
What good is a colour print
Of a little baby doll?
When just one little glance
Is enough to make me feel dull!
I hoped I would misplace it.
But then I take such good care of it.
I wish it would disappear,
I say I wish,
But then I relish
It being here!
What good is a photograph of you?
Everytime I look at it,
It makes me feel blue,
Everytime I look at it,
It makes me feel blue.
Fell blue.
9 Shouldn't Have Done That
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Plans made in the nursery
Can change the course of history,
Remember that!
Mummy's annoyed, says go and play,
Don't show your face.
Stay away all day,
Shouldn't have done that!
A small boy and his infantry,
Marching around so naturally,
Shouldn't have done that!
Grows up and goes to school,
Such a nice boy, obeys all the rules,
Mummy's proud of that.
Leaves school to follow his ambition,
Knows what he wants,
To be a politician,
Shouldn't have done that!
10 The Sun & The Rainfall
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Someone will call,
Something will fall
And smash on the floor,
Without reading the text,
Know what comes next.
Seen it before
And it's painful.
Things must change.
We must re-arrange them
Or we'll have to estrange them.
All that I'm saying
A game's not worth playing
Over and over again.
You're the one I like best,
You retain my interest,
You're the only one.
If it wasn't for you,
Don't know what I'd do.
Unpredictable like the sun
And the rainfall.
