Nothing unusual, nothing strange
Close to nothing at all
The same old scenario, the same old rain
And there's no explosions here

Then something unusual, something strange
Comes from nothing at all
I saw a spaceship fly by your window
Did you see it disappear?

Amie, come sit on my wall
And read me the story of O
And tell it like you still believe
That the end of the century
Brings a change for you and me

Nothing unusual, nothing's changed
I'm just a little older, that's all
You know when you've found it
There's something I've learned
'Cause you feel it when they take it away

Then something unusual, something strange
Comes from nothing at all
But I'm not a miracle
And you're not a saint
Just another soldier
On the road to nowhere

Amie, come sit on my wall
And read me the story of O
And tell it like you still believe
That the end of the century
Brings a change for you and me

And, Amie come sit on my wall
And read me the story of O
And tell it like you still believe
That the end of the century
Brings peace for you and me

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

Older chests reveal themselves
Like a crack in a wall
Starting small, and grow in time
And we all seem to need the help
Of someone else
To mend that shelf
with too many books
Read me your favourite line

Papa went to see other lands
And he found someone who understands
The ticking, and the western man's need to cry
He came back the other day, yeah you know
Some things in life may change
And some things
They stay the same

Like time, there's always time
On my mind
So pass me by, I'll be fine
Just give me time

Older gents sat on the fence
With their cap in hand
Looking grand
They watch their city change
Children scream, or so it seems,
Louder than before
Out of doors, into stores with bigger names
Mama tried to wash their faces
But these kids they lost their graces
And daddy lost at the races too many times

She broke down the other day, yeah you know
Some things in life may change
And some things they stay the same

Like time, time, there's always time
On my mind
So pass me by, I'll be fine
Just give me time

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

When the tears come streaming down your face
'cause you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
What could be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Well high up above, or down below
When you are too in love to let it go
But if you never try, you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream
Down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream
Down your face, and I...


Tears stream
Down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream
Down your face, and I...

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Here comes another fall from grace
I'm always falling on my face
This attitude that I embrace
For the love I'm trying to replace
I to kill the song
'Cause the melody's all wrong
And there's a fever coming on

It's hard to recocile
What I've become
With the wounded child
Hiding deep inside

Breathe underwater
I'm coming up for air
I wanna see another dawn
(Coming up for the air)
Sick of the slaughter
I'm coming up for air
'Cause I've been floating here too long

Take my ego for a ride
'Cause there's nobody by my side
It's getting hard to justify
And it won't be long 'till I collide
My weakness is laid bare
As people stop and stare
But it's the last time I swear

It's hard to reconcile
What I've become
With the wounded child
Hiding deep inside

Breathe underwater
I'm coming up for air
I wanna see another dawn
(Coming up for air)
Sick of the slaughter
I'm coming up for air
'Cause I've been floating here too long

Start breathing
Start breathing
Start breathing

Breathe underwater

I wanna see another dawn

Fear
And the panic in the air
I want to be free
From desolation and despair
And I feel
Like everything I sow
Is being swept away
Well I refuse to let you go

I can't get it right
Get it right
Since I met you

Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over?

Life
Will flash before my eyes
So scattered and lost
I want to touch the other side
And no one
Thinks they are to blame
Why can't we see
When we bleed we bleed the same?

I can't get it right
Get it right
Since I met you

Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over?

Honey you are a rock

And honey you should know, that I could never go on without you

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I'd do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
It's the wrong time
For somebody new
It's a small crime

Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded

If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
You've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me

Bigger, stronger too

Will ever love you

We can never go home
We no longer have one
I'll help you carry the load
I'll carry you in my arms

We walk through the ash
And the charred remains of our country
Keep an eye on my back
I'll keep an eye on the road

Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me to carry the fire
This road won't go on forever

If I say shut your eyes
If I say look away
Bury your face in my shoulder
Think of a birthday

The things you put in your head
They will stay there forever
I'm trying hard to hide your soul, son
From things it's not meant to see

Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me to carry the fire
This road won't go on forever

Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Now help me to carry the fire
This road won't go on forever

If I say shut your eyes
If I say shut your eyes
Bury me in surprise
When I say shut your eyes

Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me to carry the fire
This road won't go on forever

Tiredness fuels empty thoughts
I find myself disposed
Brightness fills empty space
In search of inspiration

Harder now with higher speed
Washing in on top of me

So I look to my eskimo friend
I look to my eskimo friend
I look to my eskimo friend
When I'm down, down, down

Rain it wets muddy roads
I find myself exposed
Tapping doors, but irritate
In search of destination

Harder now with higher speed
Washing in on top of me

So I look to my eskimo friend
I look to my eskimo friend
I look to my eskimo friend
When I'm down, down, down

When I'm down, down, down
When I'm down, down, down
When I'm down, down, down

Since we're feeling so anaesthetised
In our comfort zone
Reminds me of the second time
That I followed you home

We're running out of alibis
On the second of May
Reminds me of the summer time
On this winter's day

See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end

Every step we take that's synchronized
Every broken bone
Reminds me of the second time
That I followed you home

You shower me with lullabies
As you're walking away
Reminds me that it's killing time
On this fateful day

See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end

From the time we intercepted
Feels a lot like suicide
Slow and sad, soft and silent
Arise and see you're mine
(See you at the bitter end)

I love to see you run around
Oh I see you now
Running to me
Arms wide out
(See you at the bitter end)

Reach inside
Come on, just gotta reach inside
Heard a cry
Six months time
Six months time
Prepare the end
(See you at the bitter end)

They'll laugh as they watch us fall
The lucky don't care at all
No chance for fate
It's unnatural selection
I want the truth

I'm hungry for some unrest
I wanna push it beyond a peaceful protest
I wanna speak in a language that they'll understand

Dedication to a new age
Is this the end of destruction and rampage?
Another just a chance to erase then repeat again

Counterbalance this commotion
We're not droplets in the ocean

They'll laugh as they watch us fall
The lucky don't care at all
No chance for fate
It's unnatural selection
I want the truth

No religion or mind virus
Is there a hope that the facts will ever find us?
Just make sure that you are looking out for number one

I'm hungry for some unrest,
Let's push it beyond a peaceful protest,
I wanna speak in a language that you will understand

Counterbalance this commotion
We're not droplets in the ocean

They'll laugh as they watch us crawl
The lucky don't share at all
No chance for fate
It's a random chance selection
I want the truth

Try to ride out the storm
Whilst they'll make you believe
That they are the special ones
(We have not been chosen)
Injustice is the norm
You won't be the first
And you know that you won't be the last

They'll laugh as they watch us fall
The lucky don't care at all
No chance for fate
It's unnatural selection
I want the truth

Come on, oh my star is fading
And I swerve out of control
If I, if I'd only waited
I'd not be stuck here in this hole

Come here, oh my star is fading
And I swerve out of control
And I swear, I waited and waited
I've got to get out of this hole

But time is on your side
It's on your side now
Not pushing you down
And all around
It's no cause for concern

Come on, oh my star is fading
And I see no chance of release
And I know I'm dead on the surface
But I am screaming underneath

And time is on your side
It's on your side now
Not pushing you down
And all around
Oh it's no cause for concern

Stuck on the end
Of this ball and chain
And I'm on my way back down again
Stood on the edge
Tied to the noose
Sick to the stomach
You can say what you mean
But it won't change a thing
I'm sick of the secrets
Stood on the edge
Tied to the noose
But you came along and you cut me loose

You came along and you cut me loose...

There's still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
There's still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
It's still a little hard to say what's going on

There's still a little bit of your ghost, your witness
There's still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day
That I can't say what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
And love, it taught me to lie
And life, it taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

There's still a little bit of your song in my ear
There's still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that I can´t see what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
And love, it taught me to lie
And life, it taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon-

Stones taught me to fly
And love, it taught me to cry
So come on courage, teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall,
And I don't want to scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't want to lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know

Well I held you like a lover
Happy hands
Your elbow in the appropriate place

And we ignored our others, happy plans
For that delicate look upon your face

Our bodies moved and hardened
Hurting parts of your garden
With no room for a pardon
In a place where no one knows what we have done

Do you come
Together ever with him?
And is he dark enough?
Enough to see your light?
And do you brush your teeth before you kiss?
Do you miss my smell?
And is he bold enough to take you on?
Do you feel like you belong?
And does he drive you wild?
Or just mildly free?
What about me?

Well you held me like a lover
Sweaty hands
And my foot in the appropriate place

And we use cushions to cover
Happy glands
In the mild issue of our disgrace

Our minds pressed and guarded
While our flesh disregarded
The lack of space for the light-hearted
In the boom that beats our drum

Well I know I make you cry
And I know sometimes you wanna die
But do you really feel alive without me?
If so, be free
If not, leave him for me
Before one of us has accidental babies
For we are in love

Do you come
Together ever with him?
Is he dark enough?
Enough to see your light?
Do you brush your teeth before you kiss?
Do you miss my smell?
And is he bold enough to take you on?
Do you feel like you belong?
And does he drive you wild?
Or just mildly free?

What about me?
What about me?

Your sorry eyes, they cut through bone
They make it hard to leave you alone
Leave you here, wearing your wounds
Waving your guns at somebody new

They see you coming, they see you go
They know your secrets and you know theirs

Well I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you?
And remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen in the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah

The wavelength gently grows
Coercive notions re-evolve
A universe is trapped inside a tear
It resonates the core
Creates unnatural laws
Replaces love and happiness with fear

How much deception can you take
How many lies will you create
How much longer until you break
You mind's about to fall

And they are breaking through
They are breaking through
They are breaking through
They are breaking through
Now we're falling
We are losing control.

Invisible to all
The mind becomes a wall
All of history deleted with one stroke

How much deception can you take
How many lies will you create
How much longer until you break
Your mind's about to fall

And they are breaking through
They are breaking through

In my hands they crumble
Fragile and stripped to the core

You're losing life's wonder
Touch like strangers detached

Sunshine trapped in our hearts
It could rise again
But I'm lost, and crushed, and cold, and confused
With no guiding light left inside

You were my guiding light

When comfort and warmth can't be found
I still reach for you
But I'm lost, and crushed, and cold, and confused
With no guiding light left inside

You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
When there's no guiding light left inside
When there's no guiding light in our lives

We might kiss
When we are alone
When nobody's watching
We might take it home

We might make out
When nobody's there
It's not that we're scared
It's just that it's delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

We might live
Like never before
When there's nothing to give
Then how can we ask for more?

We might make love
In some sacred place
And the look on your face is delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

If you try to be an icon
Then the icon becomes you
If you try to be a model
It'll catwalk over you
If you try to walk in straight shoes
Then these shoes will bend you too
If you try to be a kid again
The kid will kidnap you

You know it's true

Don't go and drown in that old pool
Don't kid yourself

Doesn't look a thing like you

Super you and super I

And there is nothing you can do
Just like a door you can't get through
When there is no-one left to fool
Don't go and drown in that old pool
Don't kid yourself

I need someone to show me
Just what I've thrown away
I need a pretty angel
To present it on a tray
You've never liked the icon
Said that guy looked pretty strange
But you've never tried to change me
And that's how I came to change

You know it's true
The guy you know well that's just you
And there is nothing you can do
Just like a door you can't get through
When there is no-one left to fool
Don't go and drown in that old pool
Don't kid yourself

When there is no-one left to fool
Don't go and drown in that old pool
Don't kid yourself

Remember me when you're the one who's silver screened
Remember me when you're the one you always dreamed
Remember me whenever noses start to bleed
Remember me
Special needs

Just 19, sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just 19, dream obscene
With six months off for bad behavior

Remember me when you clinch your movie deal
Think of me stuck in my chair that has four wheels
Remember me through flash photography and screams
Remember me
Special dreams

Just 19, sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just 19, dream obscene
With six months off for bad behavior

Just 19, sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just 19, dream obscene
With six months off for bad behavior

Remember me...

Just 19, sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just 19, dream obscene
With six months off for bad behavior

Just 19, sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just 19, dream obscene
With six months off for bad behavior

Remember me...

They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day

From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
As she stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the colour of the roses
That grew down the river, all bloody and wild

When he knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped at the tears that ran down my face

They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day

On the second day I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?"

On the second day he came with a single red rose
He said: "Will you give me your loss and your sorrow?"
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
"If I show you the roses will you follow?"

They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day

On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
As I kissed her goodbye, I said, "All beauty must die"
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day

My name was Elisa Day

Oh no - here comes that sun again
And that means another day without you my friend
And it hurts me to look into the mirror at myself
And it hurts even more to have to be with somebody else

And it's so hard to do and so easy to say
But sometimes - sometimes,
you just have to walk away - walk away

With so many people to love in my life, why do I worry about one?
But you put the happy in my ness, you put the good times into my fun

And it's so hard to do and so easy to say
But sometimes - sometimes,
you just have to walk away - walk away and head for the door

We've tried the goodbye so many days
We walk in the same direction so that we could never stray
They say if you love somebody than you have got to set them free
But I would rather be locked to you than live in this pain and misery

They say time will make all this go away
But it's time that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays
And once again that rising sun is droppin' on down
And once again, you my friend, are nowhere to be found

And it's so hard to do and so easy to say
But sometimes, sometimes you just have to walk away, walk away and head for the door
You just walk away - walk away - walk away
You just walk away, walk on, turn and head for the door

Look at Earth from outer space
Everyone must find a place
Give me time and give me space
Give me real, don't give me fake
Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Give me time, give us a kiss
Tell me your own politik

And open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes

Give me one, 'cause one is best
In confusion, confidence
Give me peace of mind and trust
Don't forget the rest us
Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Wounds that heal and cracks that fix
Tell me your own politik

And open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Just open up your eyes

But give me love over, love over, love over this

People always say
Tom, this has gone too far
But I'm not afraid to chase my dreams
Just me and my guitar

And no one may ever know
The feelings inside my mind
'Cause all of the lines I ever write
Are running out of time

So maybe I should get a nine to five
But I don't want to let it go, there's so much more to life

Tell me that I've got it wrong
Tell me everything will be okay
Before I fall
Tell me they'll play my songs
Tell me they'll sing the words I say
When darkness falls
And all of the stars will see
Just me and my guitar

I'm sure that I'll find my way
'Cause I'm not afraid to try
Even a world of love and hope can't guarantee that price

So maybe I should get a nine to five
But I don't want to let it go, there's so much more to life

Tell me that I've got it wrong
Tell me everything will be okay
Before I fall
Tell me they'll play my songs
Tell me they'll sing the words I say
When darkness falls
And all of the stars will see
Just me and my guitar

Me and my guitar...

We all have our wild dreams
Of new beginnings
Of taking the back roads
To far off places
Of finding the happiness
Everyone chases
We all have our wild dreams
Of new beginnings

We are all filled with
Human desire
When the devil don't deliver
We call him a liar
We cut off his wings
And ask expensive things
We all have our wild dreams
Of new beginnings

And I know it's possible
For us to feel better
And I know today
It won't depend on the weather
And I promise you tomorrow
We will still be together
Dreaming our wild dreams
Of new beginnings

We all have our wild dreams
Of new beginnings

And I know it's possible
For us to feel better
And I know today
It won't depend on the weather
And I promise you tomorrow
We will still be together
Dreaming our wild dreams
Of new beginnings
Dreaming our wild dreams
Of new beginnings
Dreaming our wild dreams
Of new beginnings

I gave me away
I could have knocked off the evening
But I lonelily landed my wants in her hands
In a way I felt you were leaving me
I was sure I wouldn't find you at home

And you let me down
You could have knocked off the evening
But you lonelily let him push under your bone
You let me down
There's no use deceiving
Neither of us wanna be alone

You're coming home
You're coming home
You're coming home
You're coming home

I gave me away
I could have knocked off the evening
But I was lonelily looking for someone to hold
In a way I lost all I believed in
And I never found myself so alone

And you let me down
You could've called if you'd needed
But you lonelily got yourself locked in instead
And you let me down
It's one thing you cheated
But you took him all the way through your bed

And now you're coming home
And I'm trying to forgive
You're coming home
And I'm trying to forget
You're coming home
And I'm trying to move on
You're coming home
And you haven't called yet

You're coming home
And I'm trying to forgive
You're coming home
I'm just trying to forget
You're coming home
I'm trying to move on
You're coming home
But you haven't called
You're coming home

You're coming home
You're coming home
You're coming home
You're coming home

I gave me away
I could have knocked off the evening
But I lonelily loomed her into my bone
You let me down
There's no use deceiving
Neither of us wanna be alone
