1.Life is Life
Well he used to be somebody
And now he's someone else
Took apart his old life
Left it on the shelf
Sick of being someone
He did not admire
Took up all his old things
Set 'em all on fire
He's gonna change
Gonna change his ways
Gonna change
Gonna change his ways
And it feels like his new life can start
And it feels like heaven
Left his house at midnight
Resolute and young
In search of something greater
Than the person he'd become
Threw his bags on to the back
Of his run down eighties car
Headed out to god knows where
The distance is too far
He's gonna change
Gonna change his ways
Gonna change
Gonna change his ways
And it feels like his new life can start
And it feels like heaven
And it feels like his new life can start
And it feels like heaven
(Your life is your life
gotta live like it's your life)
(Your life is your life
gotta live like it's your life)
(Your life is your life
gotta live like it's your life)
(Your life is your life
gotta live like it's your life)
And it feels like his new life can start
And it feels like heaven
And it feels like his new life can start
And it feels like heaven
And it feels like his new life can start
And it feels like heaven
And it feels like his new life can start
And it feels like heaven
2.Tonight's The Kind Of Night
There's a boy with his head
Pressed up to the window
Of a bus heading out of town
In his breath on the glass
He draws with his finger
A map of the roads they go down
Circles of street lights
Are the only signal
That there's people out there in the black
He waves goodbye, to the town he grew up in
He knows that he'll never come back
But the night outside is five below
His heart is pumping blood
On his lips a perfect smile
His eyes begin to flood
Because tonight's the kind of night
Where everything could change
Tonight's the kind of night
Where everything could change
The rumble strip clack
And the rattling frame
Beat out a pulse on his head
The engine hums, a humble tune
A melody of rubber and lead
Under lamp light glow
And paradise stars
An infinity of dancing white light
He sees that his debt
Is to experience only
And not to those who'd plan out his life
But the night outside is five below
The moon is in the sky
His heart is full of perfect joy
He whispers his goodbye
Because tonight's the kind of night
Where everything could change
Tonight's the kind of night
Where everything could change
And tonight he's not gonna come back home
Oh tonight he's not gonna come back home
Oh tonight he's not gonna come back home
Ohhh
Ohhh
Oh tonight's the kind of night
Where everything could change
Tonight's the kind of night
Where everything could change
Tonight's the kind of night
Where everything could change
Tonight's the kind of night
Where everything could change
3.L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
Lisa likes brandy and the way it hits her lips
She's a rock 'n' roll survivor with pendulum hips
She's got deep brown eyes
That've seen it all
Working at a nightclub that was called The Avenue
The bar men used to call her 'Little Lisa, Loney Tunes'
She went on almost anyone
From the hard time living 'til the Chelsea days
From when her hair was sweet blonde
'til the day it turned gray
She said：
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You've got more than money and sense, my friend
You've got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don't have now will come back again
You've got heart and you go in your own way
Some people wear their history like a map on their face
And Joey was an artist just living out of case
But his best word was his letters home
His standard works of fiction about imaginary success
The chorus girls in neon were his closest things to friends
But to a writer, the truth is no big deal
From the hard time living to the sleepless nights
And the black and blue body from the weekend fights
He'd say
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You've got more than money and sense, my friend
You've got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don't have now will come back again
You've got heart and you go in your own way
On my last night on earth, I won't look to the sky
Just breathe in the air and blink in the light
On my last night on earth, I'll pay a high price
To have no regrets and be done with my life
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You've got more than money and sense, my friend
You've got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don't have now will come back again
You've got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You've got more than money and sense, my friend
You've got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don't have now will come back again
You've got heart and you go in your own way
4.Wild Thing
Time can make more rubble out of dreams than anything
In a quiet neighborhood
where she's living without wings
There's eyes behind the curtains
and there's ears below the floor
Cracks inside the ceiling
and there's shadows at the door
The boredom stirs a rage inside her soul
A rage that reaches out and takes control
Nine days out alone
Sleep in the dirt
She walks back into town
With blood stains on her shirt
Everyone has questions
But no one wants to know
How far the anger in someone
Can really make them go
Her tangled hair and mud stains on her knees
Bruised ribs and rips on the side of her jeans
Well I used to be a citizen in this town
'Til my teeth turned gray and my hair fell out
All the civil decent people,
they don't want to know
But a girl looking for trouble said she'd give me a go
While everybody's sleeping in this town this night
From the crooked clock tower to the borderline
And night star static in the winter breeze
She's lying in the moonlight
with her hands between my knees
She says it's all right
Well, it's all right by me
She says it's all right
Well, it's all right by me
5.Give It All Back
Oh well the world never seemed bigger
Than the summer of '98
Living out in the suburbs
Planning my escape
I grew my hair to my shoulders
Formed a band with a couple of friends
And we called ourselves The Devils Playhouse
Influences like Bruce and the band
And we'd sing and play
Simple three chord rock and roll
And miles away
The other kids would just grow old
But we're making our own way out
Yeah we're making our own way out
Well we'd practice every week in my bedroom
While my parents were working in town
And one morning in our school assembly
Played a cover of 'Don't Let Me Down'
The performance was nervous and awkward
But the passion was real and profound
And the kids in the audience laughing
While the band just looked at the ground
But the victory
For the kids who believe in rock and roll
I know for me
That performance lives, it never grows old
But we're making our own way out
Yeah we're making our own way out
Well I'd give it all back just to do it again
Yeah I'd turn back time, be with my friends
Yeah I'd give it all back just to do it again
Turn back time, be with my friends
Yeah I'd give it all back just to do it again
Turn back time and be with my friends
Yeah I'd give it all back just to do it again
Turn back time, be with my friends
Tonight
6.Just Me Before We Met
Looking through the photos you find in my drawer,
Laughing so hard you're rolling around on the floor,
At all the bad haircuts and smoking cigarettes,
Restless romantic, try hard to impress,
Well that's just me before we met,
Well that's just me before we met,
Putting down the photos, you look up at me,
Enjoying the thought of the person that I used to be,
The things I was proud of, the things I regret,
Some things I remember, some things I forget,
Well that's just me before we met,
Well that's just me before we met
Well I've always had a wild imagination,
And a see through heart,
Which I know can be, a wild combination,
Like a flame forms from a spark,
But don't be shy, be brave little champion,
It's better to live than to hide,
Well that's just me, before we met,
Well that's just me, before we met,
But don't be shy, be brave little champion,
Well that's just me, before we met,
But don't be shy, be brave little champion,
Well that's just me, before we met,
But don't be shy, be brave little champion,
Well that's just me, before we met,
But don't be shy, be brave little champion,
Well that's just me, before we met,
Well that's just me, before we met,
Well that's just me, before we met,
7.Waiting For My Chance To Come
Well I'm just waiting for my chance to come
Just a silhouette against the rising sun
Watch the water, watch the sky
Count the days as they go by
I'm just waiting for my chance to come
Well it takes real guts to be alone
Going head to head with the great unknown
But there is no sweeter sound,
on the kings round I'm bound
And just waiting for your chance to come
'Cause it's hard to feel like,
you're worth something in this life
When you're walking next to me,
I can hear my body speak
We're just waiting for a chance to come
We're just waiting for a chance to come
Your immortal smile is burned in me
When I close my eyes it's all I see
Among the canyons and the stars
You're the guide inside my heart
I'm just waiting for my chance to come
And you're just looking for a way outta here
Yeah, a way to see this old life all disappear
Take a gamble on your heart,
it will lead you through the dark
You're just waiting for your chance to come
'Cause it's hard to feel like,
you're worth something in this life
When you're walking next to me,
I can hear my body speak
We're just waiting for a chance to come
We're just waiting for a chance to come
And no one's gunna get in my way
Gunna figure it out for myself
Yeah no one's gunna make me stay
Gunna figure it out for myself
'Cause I don't need nothing
I'm just waiting for a chance to come
8.The Line
She looks out her window
And the stars don't feel that far away
She watches the wind blow
Blowing all her problems away
But then she'll ask, as she cleans up the glass
'Is this the line？
Is this the line？
Is this the line between heaven and hell？
Is this the line where I get up and walk out？
Is this the line where you get drunk you yell？'
She fixes her make-up
Treading lightly on the floor
Hoping he won't wake up
As she makes her way towards the door
But then she'll say, as she waves him away
'Is this the line？
Is this the line？
Is this the line between heaven and hell？
Is this the line where I get up and walk out？
Is this the line where you get drunk you yell？'
She says 'I've lived my life like a diamond
Bright and hard like a diamond'
She says 'I've lived my life like a diamond
Bright and hard like a diamond'
9.Old Joy
You sit with the man who threw it all away
And you dream of the birds that have flown away
And you hope that you won't see it fall again
And you will sing day by day,
old joy comes back to me
You'll sing day by day,
old joy comes back to me
You say this is the life
of the influence of dreams
Tall buildings and a wife
won't be enough for me
There is more in the world
to be found than dreams
And you will sing day by day,
old joy comes back to me
You'll sing day by day,
old joy comes back to me
Forget the things that get away,
forget the things that get away
Don't dream of yesterday,
don't dream of yesterday
