the rest of the world

Im Addicted
1, 2, 3, 4!
Look around this dirty town
Drink it up till we fall down
Dont want to live forever this way
But its gonna have to do for today
Oh, Im addicted - as I want to be
Im addicted - as I want to be
Im addicted - as I want to be
Im addicted - as I want to be
Before that hurried call
I had my back against the wall
No, dont want to be shown
Go out and learn your own
Oh, Im addicted - as I want to be
Im addicted - as I want to be
Im addicted - as I want to be
Im addicted - as I want to be
1, 2, 3, 4!
Before that hurried call
I had my back against the wall
No, dont want to be shown
Go out and learn your own
Oh, Im addicted - as I want to be
Im addicted - as I want to be
Im addicted - as I want to be
Im addicted - as I want to be

Addicted
Im addicted to his kiss
and the way he touches my body softly
running his hands all over my body
im addicted to his giggle and laugh
his hugs make me feel safe
i wish he could hold me forever
as i stoud outside
in the rain with my smoke
staring up at the sky
our song escaped my lips
slowly and quietly
i wanted to cry cuz i missed him so
but i couldnt all i could do was think
as the rain fell heavier
i began to think more
im addicted to him
his body
his voice
his everything
all i crave is him
and in my dreams he's with me
i love him so
every day i get to see him and have him close

Addicted To You
I am addicted to you.
So what can I do?
but accept what has happened to me?
You're my personal drug
each time we hug
my body turns out to be
at peace once again and not so uptight,
no shaking, no headache in sight.
I am addicted to you.
The need in me grew
from the very first time that we kissed.
You're my personal high,
the reason why I
know that you are why I exist.
I know that all's well
and there's nothing to fear,
no frightful event will appear.
I don't need a drink,
I don't need a smoke.
These things I will never do.
My needs are not bad.
In fact I am glad
that I am addicted to you.
I

Addicted To Love
Your lights are on, but youre not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes
You cant sleep, you cant eat
Theres no doubt, youre in deep
Your throat is tight, you cant breathe
Another kiss is all you need
Whoa, you like to think that youre immune to the stuff, oh
Yeah
Its closer to the truth to say you cant get enough, you
Know youre
Gonna have to face it, youre addicted to love
You see the signs, but you cant read
Youre runnin at a different speed
You heart beats in double time
Another kiss and youll be mine, a one track mind
You cant be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If theres some left for you
You dont mind if you do
Whoa, you like to think that youre immune to the stuff, oh
Yeah
Its closer to the truth to say you cant get enough, you
Know youre
Gonna have to face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Guitar solo (once around)
Your lights are on, but youre not home
Your will is not your own
Youre heart sweats and teeth grind
Another kiss and youll be mine
Whoa, you like to think that youre immune to the stuff, oh
Yeah
Its closer to the truth to say you cant get enough, you
Know youre
Gonna have to face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love

A Man Became Addicted To Poetry
A MAN BECAME ADDICTED TO POETRY
A man became addicted to poetry-
Wherever he went he read or wrote a few lines-
Poetry became much of what he did-
Poetry and poetry and poetry-
As if that alone could give meaning and pleasure to his life.
A man became addicted to poetry
And so lost at times
What true poetry is –
Now he writes without knowing
Whether he is truly writing
Or merely using the ‘idea and world of poetry’
For his own peace of mind.

Body Wishes
(stewart, cregan, savigar, le mesurier)
The night closes in on another day
As the oldest games gettin underway
On the minds of a million people body wishes
So you climb on the carousel and take a chance
The same old ritual the same old dance
The hardest thing to resist is body wishes
If the fire down belows gettin worse and worse
Youre so close to shootin that you want to burst
Somebodys sponge needs squeezin body wishes
What do I say
Nobody gonna tell ya
Where do I go
Somewhere someonell have ya
Who do I tell
Anybody thatll listen
No one should know
Wont solve the problem
Body wishes, body wishes
Body wishes, body wishes
Away in the distance a baby cries
But you know somebodys by her side
The night drags on forever body wishes
You can hear the tickin of a lonely clock
The howlin wind that just wont stop
Somebodys cherries need pickin body wishes
What do I say
Nobody gonna tell ya
Where do I go
Somewhere someonell have ya
Who do I tell
Anybody thatll listen
No one should know
Wont solve the problem
Itll tear you apart like an angry sea
Keep you warm like a summer breeze
Its all weve got in a cold cold world
Is to love someone
Body wishes, body wishes
Somethings happenin in the air
It feels so close but you dont know where
The poorest peoples riches body wishes
And the cheatin hearts never learn
Someday somewhere gonna be your turn
Dont start what you cant finish body wishes
What do I say
Nobody gonna tell ya
Where do I go
Somewhere someonell have ya
Who do I tell
Anybody thatll listen
No one should know
That wont solve the problem
Where do I run
Anywhere thatll hide ya
Wholl be the one
Yeah

Duck & Run
To this world Im unimportant just
Because I have nothing to give
So you call this your free country
Tell me why it cost so much to live
Tell me why
This world can turn me down
But I wont turn away, oh no
And I wont turn around
All my work and endless measures
Never seem to get me very far
Walk a mile just to move an inch
Now even though Im trying so
Damn hard
Im trying so hard
This world can turn me down but i
Wont turn away
And I wont duck and run, cause
Im not built that way
When everything is gone there is
Nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause Im already here, oh no!
I am already here, down
On my knees
I am already here, on no, I am
Already here
I must have told you a thousand
Times I am not running away
I wont duck and run
I wont duck and run
I wont duck and run
No, no pass away
This world can turn me down but i
Wont turn away
And I wont duck and run, cause
Im not built that way
When everything is gone there is
Nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause Im already here
This world can turn me down
But I wont turn away
And I wont duck away
Cause Im not built that way
When everything is gone there
Is nothing there to fear
This world cannot
Bring me down
No cause Im already here

(michael masser/gerry goffin)
Stay with me
Spend just one more day with me
Maybe you can rearrange your plans

And its to that world youre bound
Put please dont leave me standing here
Stranded on the ground
Wont you stay with me
Stay with me

If I could spend one day with you

And of all the nights Ive held you close
Tonights the night that means the most
Wont you stay with me
Just stay with me

Never thought Id see a night like this

For the rest of your life
Thats an awful lot to miss

Solid Rock
Well, Im hangin on to a solid rock
Made before the foundation of the world
And I wont let go, and I cant let go, wont let go
And I cant let go, wont let go, and I cant let go no more.
For me he was chastised, for me he was hated,
For me he was rejected by a world that he created.
Nations are angry, cursed are some,
People are expecting a false peace to come.
Well, Im hangin on to a solid rock
Made before the foundation of the world
And I wont let go, and I cant let go, wont let go
And I cant let go, wont let go, and I cant let go no more.
Its the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit
Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it
Using all the devices under the sun.
And he never give up til the battles lost or won.
Well, Im hangin on to a solid rock
Made before the foundation of the world
And I wont let go, and I cant let go, wont let go
And I cant let go, wont let go, and I cant let go no more.

We Wont Dance
We wont dance no more
We wont shine out on the floor
We wont sway the band wont play
We wont dance
I kid you not we were hot
When the weekend came wed dance non-stop
No jitterbug no substitute
No twist and turn no crasha nd burn
Could top us two
We wont dance no more
We wont shine out on the floor
We wont sway the band wont play
We wont dance
As I dipped you down in your yellow dress
Wed brush the floor in a slow caress
As minutes turned to a rising sun
Wed leave the day to rest
Our dancing done
We wont dance no more
We wont shine out on the floor
We wont sway the band wont play
We wont dance
If I were God and controlled what is
Id steal your shoes so you couldnt dance with his
Well Im not all that I could be
But youll never dance with him
The way you danced with me
We wont dance no more
We wont dance no more
Well Im not all that I could be
But youll never dance with him
The way you danced with me
We wont dance no more
We wont shine out on the floor
We wont sway the band wont play
We wont dance
We wont dance no more
We wont shine out on the floor
We wont sway the band wont play
We wont dance

Addicted
I wonder since I woke up this morning,
The air is seeming more aromatic..
Although books nd papers are a scene of Indian crowd,
My room is seeming quite systematic!
As I see through my windowpanes,
Can't believe I see the rain falling in the cold...
Who says, I've lost my head?
Truth is that my heart's stolen before I could hold...
The wall is asking me, 'Hey bro! On me,
Why have you sticked formulae of trigonometry?
Looking your facebook account & mobile inbox,
I would rather have bourne a collection of smiley! '
I answered, ' I'm smart in it,
I don't need to remember those,
But, I do forget the formulae..
Like I did when I saw that rose...! '
The wall agreed but the curtain argued,
'You're rude with me, as when in another room you are
And your mobile phone vibrates, you don't care of me..
Push me and play the typing tone, in which, good only few are..'
I replied, ' I'm sorry, I can't wait to see the text..
And reply at my usual speed...!
Now it's true that I'm addicted to someone..
And she is all I need...! '
The wall and the curtain teased me;
But the door said, 'Oh, my son,
Are you serious that she's the one,
Or, my boy, is it just for fun? '
I responded, ' It isn't a good question,
As it is clear from my behaviour...
My thumbs and my eyes are addicted to her..
And the rest of the body is seeming heavier...! '
The door agreed & I asked myself..
Why am I going through this all...?
I raise up and I say Yes, I am addicted
And it has led to my great fall! ! ! :)

I Wont Last A Day Without You
(paul williams/r. nichols)
Day after day I must face a world of strangers
Where I dont belong,
Im not that strong
Its nice to know that theres someone I can turn to
Who will always care
Youre always there
When theres no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams wont come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I wont last a day without you
So many times when the city seems to be
Without a friendly face,
A lonely place
Its nice to know that youll be there if I need you
And you always smile
Its all worth while
When theres no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams wont come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I wont last a day without you
Touch me and I end up singing
Troubles seem to up and disappear
You touch me with the love youre bringin
I cant really lose when youre near
When youre near my love
If all my friends have forgotten all their promisses
Theyre not unkind,
Just hard to find
One look at you and I know that
I could learn to live without the rest
I found the best
When theres no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams wont come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I wont last a day without you
When theres no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams wont come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I wont last a day...

How Come The World Wont Stop
Hmmm
Somebody told me
You were not coming home
The words are spinnin in time
And the air suddenly went cold
The sun is still shining
But everything feels like rain, oh
And if I had one wish
It would be to see you again
Nothings fair
When we loose
Without a moment to say goodbye
How come the world wont stop spinning
Now that youre gone (now that youre gone)
I know every end has beginnings
But this ones all wrong (this ones all wrong)
So wrong, so wrong
Caught in the middle
Wrong place, wrong time
And Im hopelessly missing you
And I cant stop deny
Nothings fair anymore
And I know theres a better place
And Ill never stop dreaming of you
Ooooh
How come the world wont stop spinning
(now that youre gone) now that youre gone
I know every end has beginnings
But this ones all wrong (this ones all wrong)
So wrong, so wrong
How can the seasons keep changing
Since you disappeared
Oh yeah
(tell me) how come the world wont stop
How come the world wont stop
Sweet tears are shed
This pain we lay to rest
Its hard lettin go
But I keep movin on
In a place I dont belong
How come the world (stop spinning)
Said now that youre gone
I know every end has beginning
Said this ones all wrong
Said this ones all wrong
(how can the seasons) keep changing
Since you disappeared
Oh, youre gone
Youre gone
How come the world wont stop
How come the world wont stop
How come the world wont stop spinning
Now that youre gone
Yeah heya
I know every end has beginning
But this ones all wrong
So wrong

My Question To Suicide
My gentle slow suicide is what I think about every day,
my life is nothing but another no one feels my pain,
I though about just running away but that wont do anything except give me more days in this place,
my life is messed up there is no other way out and im taking it,
it wont matter what any one says! The only question is how will I do it?
Cut myself tell I loose to much blood? No that won’t work that’s too much fun!
Strangle myself upon a tree? No that wont work people will see,
cut my throat and choke to death? That my work but lets see the rest,
have another over dose? No that wont work its like flirting with death, I shall think of more ways to put me to rest.

When you do what youre doing to me, oh

When you bodys next to mine, youve got me hypnotized

Flowing through this magic night
I love to feel you hold me tight
You are the one thats right for me
You got me feeling tingaly
Share the night with stars above
I think Ive found this thing called love
Fever running through your eyes
You are my heavenly device
Body to body
Body to body
Body to body nobody does it like you do
Body to body
You know I like what you do when you do what you do to me, no
Oh, what you do
You opened up the world to me
You changed my life so tenderly
I know you are the only one
Youre brighter than the burning sun
Dont know where youre going to
I dont care as long as Im with you
That certain sparkle in your eyes
Has got me feeling oh so high
Body to body

I like what you do when you do all those things to me

I Wont Cry
Where to begin to end uncertainty
Do I leave silently or boldly say farewell
How can I think of times that used to be
And find the smile I need to wish you well
But I wont cry for dusty memories
No I wont cry for dreams that couldnt be
No I wont cry
The daffodils the sorry candlelight
To buy my heart when loveless words were spoken
Too many tears to welcome in the night
Too many promises the days have broken
So I wont cry for kisses out of reach
No I wont cry Ill practice what I preach
And I wont cry
No flowers now no silly candle games
Somehow my feet wont lead me to the doorway
And so I stand and wonder whos to blame
Waiting for one last word that calls to beg me stay
But I wont cry if that world never comes
No I wont cry for now the storys done
And I wont crygoodbye

Stay With Me Tonight
Baby baby baby got to say whats on my mind
Tomorrow you are leaving and I will be left behind
Nothing only changing youre doing what you got to do
One moment between us
One moment to cling to you
Let the darkness fall
Woah
Hear your body call
(hear your body call)
Let the hours crawl
Woah
You can have it all
(hear your body call)
Wont you stay with me tonight
Wont you stay with me tonight
Baby baby baby all the lights are going on
(you just come in closer now just come in closer)
We can can be together only till the night has gone
(we should be together for the final time for ever)
Somewhere in the future will you smile when you think of me
(somewhere in the future some for the future)
Somewhere in your heart will you hold a tender memory
(some for the future always for the future)
Let the darkness fall
Woah
Hear your body call
(hear your body call)
Let the hours crawl
Woah
You can have it all
(hear your body call)
Wont you stay with me tonight
Wont you stay with me tonight
Wont you stay with me tonight
Wont you stay with me tonight
Tonight
Wont you stay with me tonight
Wont you stay with me tonight
Tonight
Wont you stay with me tonight

Woah
So let the darkness fall
Woah
Hear your body call
Let the hours crawl
Woah
You can have it all
Let the darkness fall
Woah
Hear your body call

Something We Wish To Prove
From the start,
Again...
We begin,
Again.
To then end,
Again...
To depart.
And we can't seem to admit,
We are addicted but wont commit...
To stop our foolishness,
To know that love we have...
For what it is.
Sit,
We do alone.
Wanting to be touched.
Caring for each other,
And wondering why we break up...
So much.
And we can't seem to admit,
We are addicted but wont commit...
To stop our foolishness,
To know that love...
For what it is.
From the start,
Again...
We begin,
Again.
To then end,
Again...
To depart,
Again.
To sit and lament,
We do alone.
Wanting to be touched.
Caring for each other,
So much.
And wondering why we break up.
To mend together,
Again.
As if,
Without each other...
There is something we wish to prove.
