Day At The Skate Park
Surrounded with concrete
Determination in the air
Guys pushing wood
Can't help but stare
One falls
One lands
One ready to go
But all the way across
One matters the most
That guy that I watch
Means so very much to me
He knows just what to say
To get me back on my feet
A genuine heart
Both simple and complex
A one of a kind
As good as it gets
I watch him go
Slight stumble
Then fall
Hope he's okay
But keep watching it all
Dont get sick of observing
Can feel the intensity in their steps
But too soon my time comes
Hadn't even noticed the sun set
It hurts to say goodbye
Would stay all day if I only could
But departure is obliged
And you'll be leaving soon too
A shared hug
Brief but cherished
Marks the end of a joyous day
But there's plenty to come
And I dont mind a little wait

Manhattan Skyline
(mags/pal waaktaar)
We sit and watch umbrellas fly
Im trying to keep my newspaper dry
I hear myself say,
My boats leaving now
...so we shake hands and cry
Now I must wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
You know
I dont want to cry again
I dont want to cry again
Dont want to say goodbye
I dont want to cry again
I dont want to run away
Dont want to race this pain
Ill never see your face again
Oh but how
How can you say
That I didnt try...
You see things in the depths of my eyes
That may loves run dry
No...
We leave to their goodbyes
Ive come to depend on the look in their eyes
My bloods sweet for pain
The wind and the rain bring back words of a song
And they say: wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
But you know
I dont want to fall again
Dont want to look this pain
Dont want another friend
Dont want to try again
Dont want to see you hurt
Dont let me see you hurt
I dont want to cry again
Ill never see your face again
How can you say
That I didnt try
You know I did
You see things in the depths of my eyes
That my loves run dry
...so I read to myself:
A chance of a lifetime to see new horizons
On the front page
A black and white picture
Of manhattan skyline

Watch Your Step
Dont say a word
Dont say anything
Dont say a word
Im not even listening
I read in the paper about their escape
Theyre just two bitter kids with a bunch of sour grapes
You better watch your step
Watch whos knocking on your front door
Now you know that theyre watching
What are you waiting for?
Think youre young and original
Get out before...
They get to watch your step
Evry day is full of fun
And family spice
Theyre making heroes out of fall guys
They say its good for business
From singapore to widnes
You better watch your step
Broken noses hung up on the wall
Back slapping drinkers cheer the heavy weight brawl
So punch drunk they dont understand at all
You better watch your step
Evry night
Go out full of carna-al desires
End up in the closing time choirs
When youre kicking in the cot room
And youre drinking down the eau de cologne
And youre spitting out the kodachrome
You better watch your step
Bye
I send you all my regards
Youre so tough
Youre so hard
Listen to the hammers falling in the breakers yard
You better watch your step
You better watch your step
Ooh, watch your step

Stay In Shadow
So cold that you cannot cope
With a frozen heart
I guess we blow apart
I guessed it from the start Stay in shadow
Ill run this world out
Stay in shadow
Its running out of time
Stay in shadow
I want to watch it drown
Stay in this now
Dont say because you cant
Say what we should have been
Dont show what I resent
Dont know cause I forget
So cruel to be so blind
Darkness was on my side
Now that youve come and gone
I know where I belong
Light is leaving as I watch you go
Light is leaving inside of my soul

Bluebird
The streets, the signs are pointing all one way
But you dont realize just what they say
You may fight, you may run, you may know what youve done
It makes me feel so sad to think what I mightve had
I watch the stars, I watch the sun, now I watch for anyone
But its only make believe
You work, you work, you work so hard and then
Someone, someone will come around again
You may think its for real, but you know how you feel
The places that I go dont feel good anymore
I see it all rainbows in fall I see her face upon my wall
But its only make believe
Fly away, bluebird fly away for me
To a place somewhere far across the sea
Fly away, far away, dont look back, go today
The waves that crash upon the sand
Another place, a far off land
And every day, I have to stay, but you are free
You could fly away-
But its only make believe

Domino Dancing
(tennant/lowe)
-----------------
(all day, all day)
I dont know why, I dont know how
I thought I loved you, but Im not sure now
Ive seen you look at strangers too many times
A love-you-once is of a, a different kind
Remember when we felt the sun
A love like paradise, how hot it burned
A threat of distant thunder, the sky was red
And when you walked, you always - turned every head
(all day, all day) watch them all fall down
(all day, all day) domino dancing
(all day, all day) watch them all fall down
(all day, all day) domino dancing
I thought that when we fought I was to blame
But now I know you play a different game
Ive watched you dance with danger, still wanting more
Add another number to the score
(all day, all day) watch them all fall down
(all day, all day) domino dancing
(all day, all day) watch them all fall down
(all day, all day) domino dancing
When you look around you wonder
Do you play to win?
Or are you just a bad loser?
(all day, all day)
(all day, all day)
(all day, all day) watch them all fall down
(all day, all day, domino dancing)
(all day, all day)
(all day, all day)
I dont know why, I dont know how
Id thought I loved you, but Im not sure now
I hear the thunder crashing, the sky is dark
And now a storm is breaking within my heart
(all day, all day) watch them all fall down
(all day, all day) domino dancing
(all day, all day) watch them all fall down
(all day, all day, domino dancing)
(all day, all daeheheheheheheh)
(all day, all daeheheheheheheh)
(all day, all day)
(all day, all day)
(domino dancing)
(all day, all day)
(all day, all day)
(all day, all day) watch them all fall down
(all day, all day, domino dancing)
(all day, all day) watch them all fall down
(all day, all day) domino dancing

Someone Like Me
Midnight falls on the snow-lit trees
And as I stand inside I know that i
Cant watch life through a window
My indecision is blocking the door
Its like a religion
That I never ask for more
I might stumble and fall
Whats someone like me,
Doing in a life like this?
I cant see
What someone like me
Is doing in a life like this
Slipping back into the past
Sun comes up and streams
Through the blinds
And as I throw my clothes on
Do my hair wrong,
Stare into my mirror
Telling myself that everyone falls
Take the first step
Thats the trick of it all
Bounce back like a ball
Whats someone like me
Doing in a life like this ? ...
My mind is filled with
Runaway dreams
I cant wake up
I dont know what it means
You see I fell asleep
With the television on
When I woke up it was gone
I read my horoscope
To see whats in store
I get a little lazy but
I want more, I want more
Whats someone like me
Doing in a life like this ?
I cant see
What someone like me
Is doing in a life like this...

War Again
Dont you know we got smart bombs, its a good thing that our bombs are clever.
Dont you know that the smart bombs are so clever, they only kill bad people.
Dont you know though our kids are dumb, we got smart bombs, what a joyous
Thing.
Here we go so lets drink a toast, to those clever bombs, and the men who
Built them.
(chorus)
There they go now, there go all my friends
There they go now, marching off to war again
With their bright flags waving in the wind
There they go now, marching off to war again
Smiling proudly, with their heads in the clouds.
Dont you know this is better than any video friend. its an action movie.
Here we go watch the bad guys get their butts kicked. really makes me feel
Good. here we go watching cnn, the adrenaline rushes through my veins.
Dont you know its a feel good show, electronic bliss. its a video, video...
(chorus)
Arent you glad we got smart bombs, its a damn good thing our bombs are clever
Its a shame that our kids are dumb, but our bombs are smart, what a lucky
Thing now
Dont you know its a feel good show and its suitable for the whole darn family
Come on out everybody shout, give a big salute to our ingenuity
Dont you know this is better than, any video friend, its an action movie...
Here we go, watch the bad guys get their butts kicked, and it makes me feel good.
Dont you know its nintendo, really gets the blood flowing thru my veins now
Dont you know its a feel-good show, electronic bliss, its a video, video

A Daisy Through Concrete
Wake up the dying,
Dont wake up the dead
Change what your sayin,
Dont change what youve said
Now that its time that
I got out of bed
When Ill walk myself
Down sycamore street
The sun beats down
No shoes on my feet
And I stumble on
A daisy through concrete
Pink and brown babies
In pink stroller cars,
Know that its good
They dont care where they are
They know that home
Doesnt feel very far
When Ill walk myself
Down sycamore street
The sun beats down
No shoes on my feet
And I stumble on
A daisy through concrete
Airplane is flyin up in the sky
Makin a pattern
With the white lines
Looks like a heart
Or maybe a pie

Ill Wait
(taylor dayne, shep pettibone, tony shimkin)
Ill wait by the window
Ill wait by the door
To make sure you dont come home after dark
Now, Ill wait by the phone
Ill make sure Im at home
Ill be there when youre needin you know what
Now, I can tell you - by things you do
You dont know that Ive been watching you
Now, I dont understand your games or crazy plans
Im here for you baby, stop playing with my mind
Well, I know what
I feel inside
I trust enough in what my heart tells me
Havent I been good
The way I should
Just act like a man and stay here and stand by my side
Ill wait just a little more time
Just a little more time
To move in a new direction
Ill wait just a little more time
Till you make up your mind
You know that you needed me too
Why are you feelin so scared and unwilling
To be there - when someones there for you
Why time has to be so unkind for no reason
But love has no measure - this is true
Well, I know what
I feel inside
I trust enough
In what my heart tells me
Havent I been good
The way I should
Im willing, Im able
I need you to give me a sign
Ill wait just a little more time
Just a little more time
To move in a new direction
Ill wait just a little more time
Till you make up your mind
I know that you needed me too
Ill wait
Yes, Ill wait
Just a little more time
Baby, new directions
Ill wait just a little more time
Till you make up your mind
I know that you needed me too
Baby, havent I been good to you
The way that I said I would be
Why are you leaving me now
Well, I know what
I feel inside
I trust enough
In what my hearts been telling me
Havent I been good
The way I should
Im willing, Im able
I need you to give me a sign

I Dont Want To Go
(released as b-side of its in your eyes single, 1996)
I dont want to see you go
Theres too much to say.
But its gone on for too long
I know how much it hurts to hear
You show it and I know it
So theres no reason for the tears.
I dont want to see you go
Dont want to see you cry.
cos Ive been there and I know it
How much it hurts being left behind
If you hold on, just be strong
Therell come a time.
All things will come to pass, you know
All things will come around
I see your bags are packed
I guess that means you wont be back
Theres nothing left could keep me chained
To get you, bring you back again.
If you hold on, wont be long
Well find our time and place once more
Just hold tight, its alright
Weve been here before.
All things will come to pass, you know
All things will come around.
But if you dont want to stay, say goodbye
My numbers on your wall
cos Ive been there and Ive seen it
Its there beside those other guys
So keep it, you may need it
Theres no more reason for the lies.

Dont Ya Say It
Things you said to me
Sentimentally
Are always on my mind.
Seems you haunted me
But you set me free
Long before you gave me time to escape.
The next time
Ill be on my way
cause its time, its true
Im turning my back on you.
Dont ya say it,
Dont say you need me
You dont need me,
Dont even try.
Dont ya say it,
Dont say you want me,
You dont mean it,
Dont say good-bye.
You threw love at me
Indispensably,
But you never could give it away.
And it seems to me
That youd never be,
Thats why Ill never stay with you.
You cant hold me down
cause its my life too,
So this time its true,
Im turning my back on you
.
Dont ya say it,
Dont say you want me,
You dont mean it,
Dont even try.
Dont ya say it,
Dont say you need me,
You dont mean it,
Dont say good-bye.
Dont ya say it,
Dont say you need me,
You dont need me,
Dont even try.
Dont ya say it,
Dont say you want me,
You dont mean it,
Dont say good-bye.

I Know What I Like
I like things that go fast
Because I know that good things dont ever last
I like believeing in what I want to
Dont like no one to tell me what to do
And I like the times that weve had
But I coundt tell you whats good or bad
Im only hoping that you understand
This feeling that Im feeling when Im holding your hand
I know what I like
I know what I like to do
I know what I like, well what about you?
I like the sound of breaking glass
And if you dont believe me, why do you ask?
I like leaving town, and coming back home
Im going to show you, when were all alone
I like staying up all night
Watching old movies til the morning light
I dont pretend to know whats right or wrong
But I wont like leaving, if I stay here too long
I know what I like
I know what I like to do
I know what I like, well what about you?
I like things that dont change
Because the more something changes, the more it stays the same
I might be simple, take it easy sometimes
But I can be stubborn when Ive made up my mind
I know what I like
I know what I like to do
I know what I like, well what about you?

Fade Away From Me
Fade Away From Me
Fading away from me,
Walking through the rain,
Never passing to remember the sun,
Never looking at the sky to remember the blue,
You only walk away from me,
And fade away.
The agony has left my mind,
All I can do is stand in silence,
As you leave me behind,
In a world of nothing,
Leaving me in the nothing that remains,
The hardest part is seeing you fade away.
Rain falls around me,
Hiding the pain of watching you walk into tomorrow,
As I stand trapped in today.
Tears fall invisible in the rain,
I feel them flowing down my cheeks rain cooling where they fall,
Yet you only fade away.
Nothing hurts me so than you walking past everything we knew,
As you say goodbye,
You were my everything and now I see you walking away,
Although it can not be helped,
It can not be stopped,
As you fade away.
I must accept that you could not stay,
Your time here was over,
And soon in heaven you will lay,
But still it hurts me so seeing you walking away,
Seeing that you have become a spirit of what was,
As I watch you fade to grey.

Crash And Burn
One more day
Before you go.
We'll stay up late,
for one more show.
Grab the keys,
we're going out,
We're leaving home--
and we wont come back again,
we're friends till the end,
we'll take on the world,
we just dont care at all.
I never wanted to believe;
that you could lie;
that friends decieve.
And here I stand;
I'm still the same.
I've watched you change,
you wont come back
I wonder what its like to be like you,
(I wonder what its like to be like you)
To never even care how bad it hurts.
(To never even care how bad it hurts)
So go ahead and lie and,
keep moving on and,
It's all about yourself and
you're never wrong-
I'll watch you crash and burn
The day is gone,
its cold out,
I walk alone-
as you fade out.
I dont know why
I'm reaching out.
And now I know
you wont come back
I wonder what its like to be like you,
(I wonder what its like to be like you)
To never even care how bad it hurts.
(To never even care how bad it hurts)
So go ahead and lie and,
keep moving on and,
It's all about yourself and
you're never wrong-
I'll watch you crash and burn
Do you remember the days-
Way back when we used to say:
"Nothing can change us."
"No one will stop us."
"I'll never be like you!"
I'll watch you crash and burn.
(You're never wrong and you keep moving on) x4

Dont Tie My Hands
Long-lost, gone
I can tell by the way you carry on
And its now I see
After all of this time what its done to me
Cant you see? I cant go free
If you make me watch you cry one more time
Once more I walk away, once more I hear you say
Once more please try to stay, once more I may
Dont tie my hands, dont lock that door
Dont make me stand for this love anymore
Please let me leave, dont start making that scene
Dont crush me in between
No one I wanted more
I wanted to love, to be mine
Now it turns out I have to say goodbye
And I dont see why
I should have to watch you cry one more time

Crazyman Dance
Well Im still here
But Im so scared
Got myself in trouble, so much trouble
I know Ive got to make it
But I just cant take new york
My middle name is fear
I have a vacant stare
And its been so long since my bodys been warm
I know Ive got to make it
But I just cant take new york
I came here
All dreams and wide eyes in the big, big city
No family, no money
And I dont even know whats hit me
He hasnt seen a doctor
Since he got here in the spring
Went to the medicentre
But they wouldnt let him
Without a green card
Life can be so hard
Take pity on a man without a home of his own
How could he ever have known?
Every street and every corner
Watch them drowning
Watch them do the crazyman dance
Man and women to the slaughter
We just stand and watch them
Do the crazyman dance
Its been one whole year
And its just not fair
For all the pushing and shoving
Ive still got nothing
Im never gonna make it
And Im stuck here in new york
So people dont come near
Unless youve a dollar to spare
cause you know what they say
About madmen on the subways of new york
Believe it
Yesterdays newspapers
I wrap them around my body
Outside these skyscrapers
I wait for the night to hit me
And boy, does it hit me
Every street and every corner
Watch them drowning
Watch them do the crazyman dance
For a nickel or a quarter
For your pleasure
Watch them do the crazyman dance
Im coming yo london
Im coming to paris
Im coming yo make you good clean people embarressed
Why dont you look at my face
Why dont you look in my eyes
Youd rather look at your feet
Youd rather look at the skies
Oh, youd look anywhere
But a man whose pure existence
Says i aint got time
And I dont care
You just dont care
Care

I Do Not Want This
Im losing ground
You know how this world can beat you down
Im made of clay
I fear Im the only one who thinks this way
Im always falling down the same hill
Bamboo puncturing this skin
And nothing comes bleeding out of me just like a waterfall Im drowning in
2 feet below the surface I can still make out your wavy face
And if I could just reach you maybe I could leave this place
I do not want this
I do not want this
I do not want this
I do not want this
Dont you tell me how I feel
Dont you tell me how I feel
Dont you tell me how I feel
You dont know just how I feel
I stay inside my bed
I have lived so many lives all in my head
Dont tell me that you care
There really isnt anything, is there?
You would know, wouldnt you?
You extend your hand to those who suffer
To those who know what it really feels like
To those whove had a taste
Like that means something
And oh so sick I am
And maybe I dont have a choice
And maybe that is all I have
And maybe this is a cry for help
I do not want this
I do not want this
I do not want this
I do not want this
Dont you tell me how I feel
Dont you tell me how I feel
Dont you tell me how I feel
You dont know just how I feel
I want to know everything
I want to be everywhere
I want to f**k everyone in the world
I want to do something that matters

How Dose It Feel?
blood trickeling down the wall
watch it drip watch it fall
as my heart hits the floor
i cant believe your words hurt more
as i read that i cant breath
its like my throat is closing
or im waiting to wake up screaming
as tears drag my red eyeliner down my cheeks
its like im distroyed and i finally am as dead inside
as i look on the outside
you asked me not to cry i couldnt help it
i remembered you telling me im beautiful
even if my makeup is running from my eyes
and down my face
sometimes i cant find my place
you told me you love me and you said you arent lying
and i want you to believe me when i say im trying
dont give up on me
dont let me fall
it hurts to see it all
i know how it feels to bleed
to want to get back at someone you love
because they have hurt you in some way
but i love you baby and thats not the way i want it to be
you mean everything to me
so please dont leave
just stay for me
even if i have to tare my heart out for you too see
it dose hurt to know what you did
and that your gone forever
but im still inlove with you and thats a fact
thats how i feel..

Better Off Now
I could feel it when we said goodnight
We both knew it had to and
We couldnt make it right
But we still came back again
Dont be sad cause we gave the best we had
Were better off now, better off now
Maybe we just dont know it
Better off now, better off now
Maybe this time
Were better off saying goodbye
I know Ill never feel the same
After loving you this way
Id do it all again
Though I know my heart would break
Once youve loved like this how do you admit
Were better off now, better off now
Maybe we just dont know it
Better off now, better off now
Maybe this time
Were better off saying goodbye
Maybe we just dont know it
Better off now, better off now
Its hard to realize
Were better off saying goodbye
Close your eyes and Ill be there
If you ever think you need me
Were better off now, better off now
Maybe we just dont know it
Better off now, better off now
Maybe this time
Were better off saying goodbye

To get an end
I better find new love,

Cuz im sick of you.
