1.The Drug Don't Work

Verve
Urban Hymns
The Drug Don't Work
All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down

And I hope you're thinking of me
As you lay down on your side
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

But I know I'm on a losing streak
'Cause I passed down my old street
And if you wanna show, then just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead

But if you wanna show, just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

I'm never going down, I'm never coming down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
I'm never coming down, I'm never going down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more


2.Knock On My Door

Verve
A Northern Soul
Knock On My Door
She knew my feelings were jangled and frayed
She took me into a wind blown alley way
She showed me a world a boy should see
I'll thank her 'till the day that I die

So, here we go
No knock on my door
Believe it 'till you see
what living has done to me
And I'm sure that I need holding

I took her to a room and I showed her myself
She made me feel proud that I would stand for
There's nothing that this girl wouldn't do for me
For that I've got to thank her and I mean it

So, here we go
A face in the crowd,
Jump up and jump down
Baby, can you see through me?

Sure, I've been here before
No knock on my door
No love in the
Baby, please be my

Sure, I've seen it before
No knock on my door
Love in the
Can be painful, I know

Cry, I cry every night
I need to hold you tight
Oh, can you see me
knocking down your door?

Sure, there's times I have hoped
There's times I have dreamed
Oh, but it seems that much to me to me, my love
I never seemed to it out, my love

I'm shakin'
Yeah, I'm shakin'

She knew my feelings were jangled and frayed
She took me into a wind blown alley way
She showed me what a boy should see
I'll thank her till the day I die
So, here we go
No knock on my door
Believe it till you see what livin' has done to me
And I'm sure I need some company
I took her to a room and I showed her myself
She made me feel proud and I was thankful
There's nothing that this girl wouldn't do for me
For that I've got to thank her I mean it

So, here we go
A face in the crowd
Jump up and jump down baby
You can see through me

Sure, I've been here before
No knock on my door
No love in the jar baby please be my star
Sure I've seen it before
No knock on my door
Love in the jar has been painful
I know
I know

Cry, I've cried every night
I need to hold you tight, baby
Could you see me knocking down your door
Sure there's times that I've gone and times I have dreamed
Oh, but it seems that I pushed you in my life
Can't seem to get it out my life

Shakin.
Yeah I'm shakin
And I'm shakin


3.Gravity Grave (Live Glastonbury '93)

Verve
No Come Down
Gravity Grave (Live Glastonbury '93)
Thank you
This is our last one today
Hope we get into a bit of a groove with it

Get Back, get back again and again
I've been here since I can remember when
My life is a boat, being blown by you
With nothing ahead, just the deepest blue...

To me you're like a setting sun
You shine then you're gone
To me you're like a setting sun
You shine then you're gone

Come back, come back again and again,
I've been here since I can remember when
Your world just spins whilst mine stands still
Nothing's changed in my gravity grave

To me you're like a setting sun
You shine then you're gone
To me you're like a setting sun
You shine then you're gone

To me you're like a setting sun
You shine then you're gone
To me you're like a setting sun
You shine then you're gone
But I want my life
So bright it burns my eyes
Sounds like the perfect way
To end my life
To me you're like a setting sun...
To me you're like a setting sun...

Get it on
Get it on
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
I'm gonna get me somehow
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
I'm gonna get me somehow
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
I'm gonna get me somehow
Come on
Come on
Come on...
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
Load up
Load up
Load up
Load up
Nothing's changed in my gravity grave
My own world's stopped
Your's still spins
We could go up one more time
We could go up one more
One more
One more
One core
One more
One more
One more
Come on
But we gotta go
We got one minute left
Come on
We got one minute left
Come on
One minute
One minute...
Thank you
Have a good weekend, all right?


4.Staring Stranger

Yes
I was thinking 'bout
The time when I was dead
I was passive, bored,
You know
I lived my life
In a shell
Now
I'm shooting off again,
And it feels good
Just thinking about
The good times
Cause my love,
I know you're just
A staring stranger
You fill up my holes
You make me feel safe
I know you're just
A staring stranger
You fill up my holes
You make me feel

I know time
Was getting late,
But not in my mind
Never asked you,
Just jump up
And let my life die,
When I was thinking
About the love
That I have made,
The love
That I have lost
Many days
And days and days
Oh well
I know you're just
A staring stranger
You fill up my holes
You make me feel safe
I know you're just
A staring stranger
You fill up my holes
You make me feel

Cause my love,
I know you're just
A staring stranger
You fill up my holes
You make me feel safe
I know you're just
A staring stranger
You fill up my holes
You make me feel safe
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Monte Carlo

Dream....Dream....

Damaged...do you see through the scream...
Damaged...but I know I will survive
Damaged...but I guess I'll move on...

Dream....Dream...
Live this life before your soul's a small grain, in the sky...

Just keeping it, keeping it on, on ,on...
Just keeping it, keeping it on, on on...
Just keep it, keep it, keep it on, just keeping it, keep
anything...

Dream...Dream...
Live this life before your soul's a small grain, in the sky

Damaged...do you see through the scream
Damaged...but I know I will survive
Damaged...but I guess I'll move on

To many people, to many dreams now, to many dreams now,
I gonna come out now, I've gotta come back now...

Dream...Dream..Yeah, Dream
Live your life before your soul's a small grain in the sky

Dream...Dream...
Live your life before your soul's a small grain in the sky


6.Colorful

Songwriters:Corella, Doug; Brown, Doug; Dunning, A.j.; Vander
Ark, Brian

The show is over, close the storybook
There will be no encore
And all the random hands that I have shook
Will be reaching for the door

I watch their backs as they leave single file
But you stood stubborn, cheering all the while

CHORUS
I know I can be colorful,
I know I can be grey,
And I know this loser's living fortunate
Cause I know you will love me either way.

Most were being good for goodness sake
But you wouldn't pantomime.
You are more beautiful when you awake
Than most are in a lifetime

Through the haze that is my memory
When you stayed for drama though you paid for a comedy

CHORUS

Hold your head as far as you can see
We're living drama but we'll die in a comedy

CHORUS (x2)

And I know you will love me
Yes I know you will love me
Yes I know you will love me either way..
