Common Ground
These are not dispassionate words of the cool
The headline still rules the editors a fool
Shall we douse out the flames or will everybody fuse
And leave us stranded here tomorrow
I heard a calling out, a cry from the heart
From the towns of cement and the beauty
A whisper its turned howl, man he didnt know
He was standing waiting for tomorrow
Nothings left, nothings found, there must be some common ground
I could never figure the calendars flow
Nor can I work out how the wild, wild wind blows
But were ready from within and were starting to go
Away from the place of no tomorrow
Nothings left, nothings found, there must be some common ground
Nothings left, (? ? ? ) I see there must be some common ground
Oh the wrecking fields are a terrible place
With a sulphurous smell and a frightening pace
And the hook goes early and the critic is king
Its hard to stay human and stand in the ring
Theres no time to be absent, a clown or a fool
While shylock is smiling were loaded like mules
If we surrender ourself to industrial rules
Well wake up in the wreckage of tomorrow
Now
Nothings left, nothings found, there must be some common ground
Nothings left, somethings found, can we see some common ground

Nothings Happening By The Sea
Salty river
Falls asleep in the bay
Always gets there
Never early, never late
Nothings happening
Nothings happening by the sea
White waves tumble down
And gently roll back into blue
On wooden seats outside the bar
The couples make their rendezvous
Nothings happening
Nothings happening by the sea
The trouble has been found
Theres too far ups and too many downs
I found a level that feels just right
Theres no mistaking where Im going tonight
Nothings happening
Nothings happening by the sea

Sweet Nothings
(r. seit)
Uh-huh honey
All right
My baby whispers in my ear
Mm, sweet nothings
He knows the things I like to hear
Mm, sweet nothings
Things he wouldnt tell nobody else
Secret, baby
I keep it to myself
Sweet nothings
We walk along hand in hand
Mm, sweet nothings
Yeah, we both understand
Mm, sweet nothings
He certainly takes
The time to read my book
My baby, give me that special look
Sweet nothings
Mm, sweet nothings
Uh-huh honey
Im sitting on my front porch
Mm, sweet nothings
Well, do I love you?
Of course
Mm, sweet nothings
Mama turned on
The front porch light
And said
Come in darling
Thats enough for tonight
Sweet nothings

Nothing'severgonnastandinmyway(again)
Well find a way regardless
To make some sense out of this mess
Well, It's a test, but I believe
A kiss is all we need
All the above for being in love
Shouldnt that alone be enough
Oh, It's tough when loves a weed
It grows inside of me
Nothings ever gonna stand in my
Nothings ever gonna stand in my
Nothings ever gonna stand in my way again
Waste the days, waste the nights
Try to downplay being uptight
Oh, you're right, but I believe
A kiss is all we need
Nothings ever gonna stand in my
Nothings ever gonna stand in my
Nothings ever gonna stand in my way again
A watch that ticks is wrapped around my wrist

A Dream Of Siam
You and me are old
You and me are young
You and me have always
Let words go unsung
Nothing left to see
Nothing left to do
Nothing left to talk about
How I intrude
This impossible room
I still believe
That great american smile
Nothings ever right
Nothings ever wrong
But nothings ever quite like
The stories and songs (nothings ever)
Heroes always bleed
But heroes never cry
Heroes always get the best girl
And then die (nothings ever)
How I intrude
This impossible dream
I still believe
That great american smile

Nothings So Far Away
Written by dewey bunnell, bill mumy, and robert haimer, 1991
Found on encore: more greatest hits and highway.
Another evening, the rain falling down
Its been a long time, since youve come around
A little laughter, and we had it all
Its so misleading, the things you recall
Turning the pages
We open the cages
Now I know that
Nothings so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothings so far away
Take a look at the person inside
You realize there is nothing to hide
I remember the things that we said
So very simple the lives that we led
Turning the pages
We open the cages
Now I know that
Nothings so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothings so far away
I recall how it used to be
And I can feel it, feel it surrounding me
Turning the pages
We open the cages
Now I know that
Nothings so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothings so far away
I recall how it used to be
And I can feel it, feel it surrounding me
Oh, nothings so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothings so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothings so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothings so far away as yesterday, wo, oh

Preachers Of The Night
See the gates of hell and theyre still bleeding
Creatures of the night are creeping out - so proud
Ill be there once more to feed them
More and more theyre sneaking in my mind - so strong
All in all nothings left behind
Cannot hold it back this dark desire
Dont turn your head or youll be dead
The good have gone to ground - you know why
Preachers of the night - theyre calling
Preachers of the night - there will be no tomorrow
Preachers of the night - Im falling
Preachers of the night - they want me back
Touch the gates of hell while theyre still bleeding
Tearing at my soul and watch it weep - so raw
You better back off
My mind is not my own take heed then
All evils been unleashed within us all - so war!
You better back off
All in all nothings left behind
Cannot hold it back this dark desire
Dont turn your head or youll be dead
The good have gone to ground - you know why
Preachers of the night - theyre calling
Preachers of the night - there will be no tomorrow
Preachers of the night - Im falling
Preachers of the night - they want me back
Deal me out - Ive had enough
Trading in the kingdom of te beast
Step by step - not far behind me
Flesh and blood will never rest in peace
All in all nothings left behind
Cannot hold it back this dark desire
Dont turn your head or youll be dead
The good have gone to ground - you know why
Preachers of the night - theyre calling
Preachers of the night - there will be no tomorrow
Preachers of the night - Im falling

The State Of Play
There is a choice to be made here
There is a will to be known
Either you live your own life or
Follow wherever I go
Nothings forever
And maybe Ill lonely cause you pain
Nothings forever
Or will we remain?
So tell me whats the state of play
Do I leave or do I stay
Tell me whats the state of play
Do you love, do you love, do you love me?
Tell me your darkest of secrets
Offer no thread of a lie
For if theres a key to the future
Youre looking him right in the eyes
Nothings forever
And time always changes everything
Nothings forever
From pauper to king
Do I leave or do I stay
Nothings forever, forever, forever, forever
Forever and ever

Dont Get Me Started
Dont get me started on politicians
And the lies they spread
Dont even mention sex and religion
And who they take to bed
But if you see me running down the street
Know where Im running to
Im tired of honesty being denied us
Im coming looking for you
Dont hold me down, Im on my way
And nothings gonna turn me round
Dont turn around, give it to me straight
Im on my way and nothings gonna shake me
Ill hold my ground
Wild horses wont make me
Dont get me started on information
Magazines and t.v.
Theres one man under his big umbrella
While its raining on you and me
Everyday its getting harder to judge
Fiction from fact
Im tired of truth being denied me
Its mine and I want it back
Dont hold me down, Im on my way
And nothings gonna turn me round
Dont turn around, give it to me straight
Im on my way and nothings gonna shake me
Ill hold my ground
Wild horses wont make me
Business as usual in our pressure steamer
Where reality slips from view
They say that we cant take it
I think I can, can you?
Dont get me started on blood and thunder
With people flying blind
Not caring what or who they take with them
Or what they leave behind
Its one mans God against another
While the river of tears roll by
The things they do in the name of their father
Can someone tell me why
Dont hold me down, Im on my way
And nothings gonna turn me round
Dont turn around, give it to me straight
Im on my way and nothings gonna shake me
Ill hold my ground
Dont get me started

Help me

Dont walk away
The dark scares me so
Were nothing apart
Lets stay friends forever

I know that nothings gonna be the same again
I fear for what tomorrow brings
Trust me
For whom I am
Place all your faith
Into these hands
I got nothing to say
But lets stay friends forever
Forever
Here I stand and face the rain
I know that nothings gonna be the same again
I fear for what tomorrow brings
Here I stand and face the rain
I know that nothings gonna be the same again

From the bowery to the brimstone
I tried to find your heart
With drugs of initiation
The bottom of a barrel that drops
I understand your causes
Sympathize the motivation
But all the details of this war
Are just self-infatuation
And its 1 2 3
Nothings for free
4 5 6
Pick up the sticks and go home
Manic blood runs thick my friend
Are you looking for a clean escape
Whats left when the locks have all been broken
Young children of authority
Now how long can you be agile
Dancing between the alter and the mercy seat
Yeah now heres a chance to make a choice
Are you aware of the fire beneath your feet
1 2 3
Nothings for free
4 5 6
Pick up the sticks and go home
The basement lies within us
Our fear comes through the door
Now theres nothing left between us
As the fear becomes a roar
Once that wheel is in motion
Dont you lose what you have found
Im talking about that burning wheel of tongues
Everything that makes it go round and round
Were all born in the devils scorn
They want to see you die
Im asking you are you true
Everything they say is a lie
Its a lie
1 2 3
Nothings for free
4 5 6
Pick up the sticks and go
1 2 3
Nothings for free
4 5 6
Pick up the sticks and go

(were all born)
Nothings for free
(in the devils scorn)

Nothings for free

Everything they say its a lie
(were all born)
Its a lie now

Everything they say its a lie

Can You Deal With It?

There must be somebody
Wholl make love to me.
Blow the rules away
And trash these yesterdays.
Live in simpathy
Use psychology.
To find the twist in me (ah-ha)

Working up to something,

Nothin New
Why is nothing ever new for long
And things go wrong in time
How come love is never new for long
We feel a change inside
Things no longer feel the way they did
People never care the way they did
Lovers never love the way they did
Were got to make it last
Got to fan the spark
People know that love is often cruel
But still they fall in love
I believe that only goes to prove
That loves what we dream of
(bridge)
Even if things can never be the way they were
But if you just hold on your luck might take a turn
We should put in practice
What were learned
That loves the only way
We got to make it stay
(chorus)
Life goes on
Nothins ever new
Maybe different than before
You may not believe me
But nothings ever
Nothings ever, nothings ever new
Dont know things will never be the same Ive heard
But if you just hold on your luck might take a turn
We gotta put in practice
Everything weve learned
That loves the only way
We got to make it stay
(chorus)
Life goes on no matter what you do
And though its crazy, nothings ever
Nothings ever new
You may not believe me, but its true
But nothings ever new

Written In Rock
On my way back from a wedding
I drove round some of the old streets
I got swept up by the memories
Of cold nights and warm sheets
I parked outside the house wed lived in
I tried to think of all the pain
But all I remembered was the laughter
And the precious trust we cant reclaim
There are no second prizes
And there will be no consolation wreath
We may as well miss by a mile
As miss by the skin of our teeth
They all thought we were some sure thing
I had the bloody coat and wedding ring
But nothings written in rock
I know Im not the one
Was I just the great pretender
Written in rock
There was no battle won
Only a mutual surrender
No guarantees, thats alright
If I was gonna stay,
I would have stayed all night
Bye bye love, you were so damn right
Nothings written in rock
Nothings written in rock
You finally learned the deep dark secret
That I knew you were waiting for
So I watched the death of innocence
Of the young dreamer at lifes door
This world can tear your soul to pieces
If you give it half a chance
There are no rules to remember
There are no written steps to the dance
I dont believe in fate
I dont believe in blind luck of the draw
I dont believe in love
I mean I dont believe anymore
They all thought we were the real thing
I had the bloody coat and the wedding ring
But nothings written in rock
I know Im not the one
Was I just the great pretender
Written in rock
There was no battle won
Only a mutual surrender
No guarantees, thats alright
If I was gonna stay,
I would have stayed all night
Bye bye love, you were so damn right
Nothings written in rock
Nothings written in rock
I remember you all dewy-eyed and breathless
Pointing the direction to the great promised land
I remember me all petrified and restless
Wondering what you were hiding in the other hand
Everybody keeps a lonely heart
And everybody gets that feeling
Everybody needs another heart
To give a little bit of healing to a battered soul
Oh, nothings written in rock
Nothings written in rock
I know Im not the one
Was I just the great pretender
Written in rock
There was no battle won
Only a mutual surrender
No guarantees, thats alright
If I was gonna stay,
I would have stayed all night
Bye bye love, you were so damn right

Oh, nothings written in rock

The Real Life
I wanted to find somewhere to hide
and i opened up and left those fears inside
and i wanted to be in near on this
only to find that there was noone there but me
but i woke up to real life
and i realised its not worth running from anymore
when there was nowhere left to hide i found out
that nothings real here but i wont stop now until i find a better part of me
i look so hard days get me down
and all the things i hate got in my way
i could of screamed without a sound
i found myself silenced by those things they say
but i woke up to real life
and i realised its not worth running from anymore
when there was nowhere left to hide i found out
that nothings real here but i wont stop now until i find a better part of me
thats out there somewhere
and it cant be that far away
thats where ill find myself
and ill find my way out
thats where ill find out
but i woke up to real life
and i realised its not worth running from anymore
when there was nowhere left to hide i found out
that nothings real here but i wont stop now until i find a better part of me
