1.Maybe That's What It Takes

Looking back
How did I get here?
Chasing circles
Never (thought so near)
I'm shaded by the red
Now I want you
I walk this way in my dreams softly
Find a way
Your distant light's on me
I'm shaded by the red

Maybe that's what it takes
For me to be with you
Maybe it's our love saved
Maybe that's why it breaks
And we do the things we do
Maybe that's what it takes

I've opened up
I've let you back inside
Don't take your time
Cos I've been wishing I'd lied
I'll shade you with the red

Maybe that's what it takes
For me to be with you
Maybe it's our love saved
Maybe that's why it breaks
And we do the things we do
Maybe that's what it...

How will I know to come
How will I know if you're the one
The one
The only one

Maybe that's what it takes
For me to be you
Maybe we have to wait..

Maybe that's what it takes
For me to be with you
Maybe it's our love saved
Maybe that's why it breaks
And we do the things we do
Maybe that's what it takes

Maybe that's what it takes..


2.Cry

(Parks/Clark/Hewerdine)

Never thought you knew me
never thought of you with me
always fighting in the dark
before

never got to tell you
I don't know what I mean to you
no need to explain
anymore

but I'd cry
I would die if I lost you
and I'd cry

when I think about us
it's only me that comes between us
it's only me that
closes the door

but I'd cry
I would die if I lost you
and I'd cry

and you know you held me up
held me to the sun
when I was yours
and I know I let you down
let you down
the day that I was gone

but I'd cry
I would die if I lost you
and I'd cry
but I'd cry
I would die if I lost you
and I'd cry


3.Dirty Pretty Words

(Parks/Clark/Hewerdine)

Mister luck
Mister front
You're always kidding your way through
Mister you
missed again though you wanted to

But I wouldn't catch you
No I would be the one who
after all is laid inside out
in the bed that you made

Say the dirty pretty words
you say
Never gonna mean a thing
Say the dirty pretty words
When you say
What you say
I'm not listening anyway

Out of luck
out of front
is that what you wanna do?
out of your head again
is that what you're going through

But I wouldn't catch you
No I would be the one who
after all is laid inside out
in the bed that you made

Say the dirty pretty words
you say
Never gonna mean a thing
Say the dirty pretty words
When you say
What you say
I'm not listening anyway

ever wonder where
everbody goes
all the liberties you're taking
take a look around
did you ever stop
maybe you should start changing
dirty pretty words
dying on your tongue
here we go again
there you go again
there you go again

But I wouldn't catch you
No I would be the one who
after all is laid inside out
in the bed that you made

Say the dirty pretty words
you say
Never gonna mean a thing
Say the dirty pretty words
When you say
What you say
I'm not listening anyway

Say the dirty pretty words
you say
Never gonna mean a thing
Say the dirty pretty words
When you say
What you say
I'm not listening anyway


4.Imagine

(Lennon)

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possessions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer,
but I'm not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.


5.Not Your Average Kind Of Girl

From the second I saw you
Wanted it all
Something I couldn't reach
I've just a hope
Always going for those crazy dreams
They're always tearing me apart

Do I search for intrigue?
Something a little strange
If I had all the flavours
I know I'd start again
Do you see where we're coming from
Where I want to go
How much I think
How much I feel
Something you need to see in me
Do you know where tonight will go
If it could only go to where I dreamt
That night was slow
It's what you need to see in me
You know
I'm not your average kind of girl

So if you keep me in your mind
That's all I ask
So I know I had an affect on you
I'm out of the blue
Unknown face to what you've seen before
But oh for sure I won't drift too far
Do I search for intrigue?
Something a little strange
If I had all the flavours
I know I'd start again
Do you see where we're coming from
Where I want to go
How much I think
How much I feel
Something you need to see in me
Do you know what tonight will bring
If we could only go to where I dreamt
That night was slow
Who knows what you see in me
You know
I'm not your average kind of girl
I'm not your average kind of girl
I'm not your average kind of girl


6.Mad World

(Orzabal)

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world
Mad world, mad world, mad world


7.Stones & Feathers

(Gray/MacKichen/Skarbek/Parks)

There's nothing left for me to do
just like time and time and time again
what else is left for me to prove?
but when it comes around
I can't help falling down

is this the state of so-called pleasure?
or just the weight of stones & feathers
I'm not myself
maybe I'm never

just like tear that fades away
just like a word I can't express or can't explain
a thousand voices in my brain
I wish they'd comfort me
instead it's torturing

is this the state of so-called pleasure?
or just the way I'm made to measure
I'm not myself
maybe I'm never

when all is said and done
I confess I've had enough

is this the state of so-called pleasure?
or just a chill that lasts forever
I'm not myself maybe I'm never

is this the state of so-called pleasure?
or just a break in heavy weather
I'm not myself
maybe I'm never


8.Here Comes the Rain Again

(Lennox/Stewart)

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do

Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
Oooooh
I want to breathe in the open wind
I want to kiss like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

So baby talk to me
Like lovers do

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
(Here it comes again, here it comes again)
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you


9.Yellow

(Berryman/Buckland/Champion/Martin)

Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow,

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow

So then I took my turn
Oh all the things I've done
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know you know I love you so
You know I love you so

I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do
Cause you were all yellow

I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh all the things you do
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know for you i bleed myself dry
For you i bleed myself dry

Its true look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine
look at the stars look how they shine for you


10.Wandering Soul

(Parks/Clark/Hewerdine)

I'm wanting
your body
your mind and soul for a moral-less state
of that which I
can't get out of my
endless thoughts of

the sharp edge of you
cuts me voice
when I say your name
I'm thinking that

I'm just a wandering soul
waiting for someone to take hold
and I'd choose not to love you
I've been here too many times before

reflection
imagined
you're one thing in the front of my mind
staring me into my blue eyes

the sharp edge of you
cuts me voice
when I say your name
I'm thinking that

I'm just a wandering soul
waiting for someone to take hold
and I would choose not to love you
I've been here too many times before

I'm just a wandering soul
a wandering
a wandering soul
been here too many times before
been here too many times before
I'm thinking that

I'm just a wandering soul
waiting for someone to take hold
and I would choose not to love you
I'm thinking that

I'm just a wandering soul
waiting for someone to take hold
and I'd choose not to love you
I've been here too many times before


11.Over Conscious

(Parks/Skinner/Caporaso)

lady of the eyes
your eyes are just melting me
so strong
smoulder in to my mind
and I'll do everything I did

Lady of my eye
your light's just too bright for me
so blind me
control me
don't find me
until I say

I'd tear your heart out
leave you for this mess I'm in
keep you for keepsake
until the blow hits me
and finally
I'll land on my knees

a second ago
you told me to wait one more
I'm walking away
but you're with me today
Til then...

just show me your faith
and I'll remember the kiss that you sold me
I paid all your price now
I'm too scared to cry
over conscious of you

I'll tear your heart out
leave you with this mess I'm in
you'd keep me for keepsake
until my blow hits me
and finally
I'm back on my knees
back on my knees again

lady of the eyes
lady of my eye
your light's just too bright
over conscious of you
