Crown Of Thorns
You were yesterdays hero
An ordinary man of flesh and blood
Took the world on your shoulders
A hopeless crusade, and act of love
But its a world obsessed with religion
And now you wear the face of a god
Like the words you said, youre as good as dead
Just a work of art on the wall
And thats why nobody wears a crown of thorns
Nobody cares
Nobody wears a crown of thorns anymore
Holy men talk of hunger
While standing beneath a cross of gold
And there are preachers on the tv
In their thousand dollar suits, who sell your soul
To think you died for what you believed in
Only to be exploited and used
Now youre supermen from the promised land
Just a vision of hollywood
...anymore
You showed me that theres hope for humanity
But once more youre being betrayed
So many countries torn by their idols
Too many prophets screaming for blood
And they only hear what they want to hear
When it comes to God up above

So Far Away
(carole king)
So far away
Doesnt anybody stay in one place anymore
It will be so fine to see your face at my door
And it doesnt help to know that your just time away
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
Oh how I wish I could
But youre so far away
One more song about moving along the highway
I cant say much of anything thats new
But if I could only work this life out my way
Id rather spend it being close to you
But youre so far away
Doesnt anybody stay in one place anymore
It will be so fine to see your face at my door
And it doesnt help to know youre so far away
So far away, yeah youre so far away
Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothing else to do but close my mind
And I sure hope the road dont get to own me
Theres so many dreams that Ive yet to find
But youre so far away
Doesnt anybody stay in one place anymore
It will be so fine to see your face at my door
And it doesnt help to know
Youre so far away, youre so far away
Youre so far away, youre so far away
Oh I need to get in touch with ya baby
Youre so very, very, very far away
Youre so, so far away

On Top Of The World
Youre on top of the world
On top of the world and you cant
Get any higher-youre on top of the world
Youre on top of the world tonight
It wasnt easy- it was hard as hell
You didnt get luck in a wishin well
Never worked so hard- had so much pain
Wouldnt change for anything
Learned love from a movie screen
He was tough, she was wild at fifteen
Quit school and had no dreams
Wasnt going very far
Then he got religion and she got a god
Its on her back and its in his job
And it costs lots of money, honey- oh, no
Breakdown nearly every day
Shoulda known- couldnt get away
Got lucky with the girl next door
She was lonely and didnt care
She was young, she was dark, she was fair
Wrapped herself around you with her stare
Youd explode if she would touch you there
Touch you there- touch you there
Tonight, tonight-tonight-tonight
Youre on top of the world
On top of the world and you cant
Get any higher
Youre on top of the world
Youre on top of the world tonight
(can you hear me, can you see me) youre on top of the world tonight
(can you hear me, can you see me) youre on top of the world tonight
(can you hear me, can you see me) youre on top of the world tonight
(can you hear me, can you see me) youre on top of the world tonight

The Worlds A Masquerade
Skip scarbrough
Can this world be a masquerade
Are you really what we see on the outside
And hidin what what you really are on the inside
Pretending that youre something youre really not
Whole world is a masquerade
Everybody, everybody wears another face
Cant you see what you really are
Pretending that you want the world to be a better place,
Fightin, makin war on your fellow man
So why wear this face
That makes it seem everythings so great
Whole world is a masquerade
Everybody, everybody wears another face

(s. andersson / b. ulvaeus / b. andersson)
Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find.
I tried to reach for you, but you had closed your mind.
Whatever happened to our love?
I wish I understood.
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good.
So when youre near me, darling cant you hear me?
S.o.s.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me,
S.o.s.
When youre gone,
How can I even try to go on?
When youre gone,
Though I try how can I carry on?
You seem so far away, though you are standing near.
You made me feel alive, but something died I fear.
I really tried to make it out,
I wish I understood.
What happened to our love, it used to be so good?
So when youre near me, darling cant you hear me?
S.o.s.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me,

How can I even try to go on?
When youre gone, (when youre gone)
Though I try how can I carry on?

Show Me
We got the same beat runnin round
Through this crazy town
Oh Im sick and I cant hear it anymore
And when we touched as the blood and the rain
Wed be shakin the ground
Shes sick and theres a way to bring her round
Show me what youre waitin for
This moment may not rise again
And your heart will never know
Show me what youre waitin for
The voices may not rise again
And the world will never know
The party drags us over the edge to a poison shore
I cant carry this desire anymore
Across the blue sky callin me with the sweetest demand
She talks to me of mercy make me understand
Show me what youre waitin for
This moment may not rise again
And your heart will never know
Show me what youre waitin for
The voices may not rise again
And the world will never know
And through these years
As the tears chase the rain
The picture has cleared
Can we face the change
Show me what youre waitin for
The voices may not rise again
And the world will never know
Show me what youre waitin for
This moment may not rise again
And your heart will never know

Fallin Away
The manners of the heart
We watched them grow
Did we write everlasting love,
In the hollywood snow
The ribbons and the bows
Wrapped us with gold
Such pressure heaven knows
As the fairy tale folds
Who heals the broken ones
When love has gone
Youre not the only ones
In an older time when the world was small
When good men were standing
Reaching out for mother love
When the ties of blood would cheer the faintest heart
Never thought Id see
You fallin away from me
Beneath the darker sky
The stars are such a mess
Can you forward my good-byes
To some new address
Who heals the broken ones
When love has gone
Youre not the only ones
In an older time when the world was small
When good men were standing
Reaching out for mother love
When the ties of blood would cheer the faintest heart
Never thought Id see
You fallin away from me
You cant turn back time
Were stranded here
Leave the future behind
Youre not the only ones
In an older time when the world was small
When good men were standing
Reaching out for mother love
When the ties of blood would cheer the faintest heart
Never thought Id see
You fallin away from me

Flesh & Blood
If you never plan to come out of your shell, youre never gonna get well.
I understand your reasons not to.
What you dont know is what youre afraid of.
And Im afraid of it too
But can I even talk to you again?
Oh part of me wants to call you up, and talk to you like a friend.
And theres a part of me that wants to shut you out
And never see your face again.
Chorus:
How can we be like enemies when were only flesh and blood?
What does it take to make your heart bleed, daddy arent we enough?
You can get through theres nothing stopping you from getting to us
No one can take a way the fact that were only...flesh and blood
For years Ive been following your case, its the only time I see your face
And weve learned to live without you.
Who you dont know is who youre afraid of
And were afraid of you too
But will we ever talk to you again?
Oh part of me wants to call you up, just talk to you like a friend
Theres a part of me that wants to shut you out
And never see your face again.
(chorus)
I want to make you laugh, and I want a chance to know you better.
I want to hear you sing beside me now.
Were just like you.
(chorus)
I want to make you laugh, I want a chance to know you better
I want to hear you sing beside me now... flesh and blood
I want to make you laugh (want to make you laugh), and I want a chance to know you better
I want to hear you sing beside me now
Im a part of you, and I miss you.
A song for you, for only you.

Grateful When Youre Dead
Im painting, I paint a picture in youre mind
If youre driving roads to suicide, I know you can sympathise
If youre love is a cheatin, and youre blinded by the pain
Youre honeymoon in summer is a picnic in the rain...
Youll be grateful when youre dead, grateful when youre dead
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.
Im shaking, I shake the spear before youre eyes
Well if you know youre history, you will read between lines
If youre waiting for a vision, to illuminate youre mind
To leave this world of misery, to leave it all behind
Youll be grateful when youre dead, grateful when youre dead
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.

Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find

Wonderlove
I believed that one day love would cast a line
I believed there was something more for me to find
Hoping today
Hoping tomorrow
Taking it all in stride
I believed
I could be chasing my mind
There you were
Like a dream to me
Wonderlove
Could this really be
Wonderlove
Can I make you see
Youre the world to me
I believe if only we could take the time
Eventually we would learn each others life
Open your heart
Give it a moment
Leaving the cares behind
Happily
We could be two of a kind
There you were
Like a dream to me
Wonderlove
We were meant to be
Wonderlove
Can I make you see
Youre the world to me
It was the very next day that I came alive
The door flung open
There was a vision
Couldnt believe my eyes
Everyone immortal like as though they didnt get it
Everyone believing here at last receiving
Wonderlove
Its a place we all belong
Wonderlove
Wonderlove
Can I make you see
Youre my world
I believe I could walk a thousand miles
Just to see the vision of your simple smile
Everyday
Wanting to follow
Forever by your side
Faithfully
You are my destiny
There you were
Wonderlove
We were meant to be
Wonderlove
Its the world where we belong
Wonderlove
Together we will faithfully
Wonderlove
Can I make you see
Youre the world to me
Just imagine what you give is who you are and where youre going to
If youre looking for the wisdom of the world
All youve got to do is let it coming through
Be forever
Just imagine

We Cant Love Like This Anymore
Written by john jarrard and wendell mobley
Youre laying right beside me, but youre a million miles away
And if I ask you whats the matter
You dont have much to say
And I can tell that Im not standing
Where I stood with you before
We cant love like this, anymore
Sometimes it makes me angry, but mostly it just hurts
I thought time might make it better
But it only made it worse
And I cant climb these walls youre building
And I cant unlock the door
We cant love like this anymore
Were coming to a crossroad, I can tell
Im not sure wed be this lonely by ourselves
But I wont give up as long as theres a chance
So where we go from here is in your hands
Just say its over, and at least Ill know for sure
We cant love like this, anymore
We cant love like this, anymore

Calling All Girls
She was insatiable, you know the type
And she was young, but she was ripe
And she was vicious, and she took a bite
Baby dont wanna feel this pain anymore
Ive got a message, put it through emergency
I wanna hear it on the radio tonight
Calling all girls, if youre looking for love (you got it)
Calling all girls, if youre looking for a hot time
Calling all girls, if youre looking for fun
Calling all girls, if youre looking for a good time tonight
Seems all the good girls are home in bed
Were gonna party to raise the dead
Im gonna love that girl right out of my head
Baby dont wanna feel this pain anymore
Ive got a message, put it through emergency

Cross Of Thorns
Dont come closer, cos it aint safe here,
Just turn around now and walk away.
Ive gotta tell you, there are no rules here,
Sometimes I wonder, what goes on there,
Behind those-eyes.
Chorus:
When a promise is broken, and no one trusts you,
Young ones crying with their heads in their hands,
When you talk about saving, the souls of the faithful,
You cant help thinking, youve got blood on your
Hands.
From a cross of thorns.
Tongues of fire always talking, wasted words that
Ring in my ears.
Were still waiting, losing patience, will all the
Lies of, 400 houndred years.
Ive got to tell you, there are no rules here,
Sometimes I wonder, what goes on there,
Behind those-eyes.
Chorus
We gave you yesterday, and now you want to-day,
Oh, from the hands of death we take our daily bread,
Now all we do is choke, and the words that you once
Spoke, fade away.
Look at what youve done, oh, its a cross of thorns.
Take away, this cross of thorns, look at what youve
Done.
Its a cross of thorns, cross of thorns.
When a promise is broken, and no one trusts you,
Youve got blood on your hands, from a cross of
Thorns.

Well, who do you think youre foolin?
You say youre havin fun,
But youre busy going nowhere,
Just lying in the sun.
You tried to be a hero,
Commit the perfect crime
But the dollar got you dancing
And youre running out of time.
Youre messin up the water
Youre rolling in the wine
Youre poisoning your body
Youre poisoning your mind
You gave me coca-cola
You said it tasted good
You watch the television
It tell you that you should.

Crown Of Thorns 300th
the crown of thorns pierced his skin.
he bled outside and within.
he knew that this was meant to be
so that all mankind could be set free.
although his heart and body
was full of pain
he knew the world
would never be the same.
as they laid him upon the cross
and tied his hands and feet.
he knew that soon
his father he would meet.
he felt the spikes pierce his hands
and his blood fall to the ground.
he had wanted to scream
but did not make a sound.
they then took his feet
and did the same.
but he refused to give in
and took all the pain.
the pain is for the world
that was coming to an end
and he also knew
that he was given up by a friend
and as they picked up the cross
and placed it in the ground.
he heard the screams of the others
asking to go with him
and to ask GOD above to
wipe away their sins.
the crown of thorns that
they placed upon your head.
is for all the pains
that this world will soon dread.

Stand For Something
When you cry
I know youve got a good reason to cry
If you cant come
I know its not just an alibi
Now I hear things that are better kept under the hat
Who backs it up?
Look at your hand, you can count on that
When you talk, its hard to disagree
And when you dance, youre talking to me
When you stand, you stand for something
Stand for something
They cant dim your flame
When you stand, you stand for something
Stand for something
They cant bend your stream
Here I stand
Outside the world of politica
I would not lose that
For all the gold in south africa
What you wear did not come easy
What you hear sounds different to me
When you stand, youre standing next to me
You put your foot down every day
Make sure you bring it down on the up beat
So walk away those feet of clay
We are fighting and dancing in the street

Im Not Jesus
Dont wear a crown of thorns
Got no holes in my hand
Dont accuse me of that crime
Dont hang me up to dry
Its not me its not me its not me
Dont wanna die for your sins
Got no special powers sacrifise and
Sacrilege hey man, I wanna live
Im not jesus I cant heal you
Taste my blood it doesnt taste like wine
Cant you see this cross isnt mine
Judas must die for what he has done
Satans watching with his gun
Its not me its not me its not me
Father, son and holy ghost
Say your prayers-its your only hope
Twelve apostle cant help you now
Ill be back to stake my ground
Im not jesus I cant heal you
Im not jesus I cant heal you
Dont wear a crown of thorns
Got no holes in my head
Dont accuse me of that crime
