Put Down That Weapon
Under the waterline
No place to retire
To another time
The eyes of the world now turn
And if we think about it
And if we talk about it
And if the skies go dark with rain
Can you tell me will our freedom remain
Put down that weapon or well all be gone
You cant hide nowhere with the torchlight on
And it happens to be an emergency
Some things arent meant to be
Some things dont come for free
Above the waterline
Point the finger yeah point the bone
Its the harbour towns
That the grey metal ships call home
And if we think about it
And if we talk about it
And if the seas go boiling black
Can you tell me what youll do about that
Put down that weapon or well all be gone
I must know something to know its so wrong
And it happens to be an emergency
Some things arent meant to be
Some things dont come for free
They keep talking about it
They keep talking...
Put down that weapon or well all be gone
You must be crazy if you think youre strong

My Weapon
I dunno wot she got
I dunno wot she got
I dunno what she got but it seems to have a grip upon me
No telling where she learn the things she do to me
And I dont know what she done wrong but I want to hurt her
(wanna) take it out on her
Take it out on her
Take it out on her
With my weapon
Shes so exacting that she tells me when I go wrong
She doesnt value the attention she receives
She says Im taking all the time but Im not returning
(thats right)
do this but she wont do that
Lying beside me like a parcel of fat
Hot love - cold sweat - feel her beneath me wanna crush her to death
She tries to justify the people who despise me
She puts her finger on things she knows will hurt
And I cant defend myself till we turn the lights off then
I dunno wot she got - my weapon
My stinking weapon

If I had to live again, Id change everything,

You say it isnt right, but you say it isnt wrong,
How the hell am I supposed to please everyone.
Tell me what it is that Im supposed to do.
I aint here for everybody, but I aint here for you,
You said it isnt right, but you said it isnt wrong.
I wish somebody could tell me, what it is that Ive done wrong.
The best things in live arent given, these things aint for you and me,
Every time you shout forbidden, makes me wonder what you see.

This is no ordinary soul, that youre destroying,
Not just another life that drifts along with the sands of time.
We tried to show you on your way, but still, you cannot see, youre hurting me
You told too many lies and so it ends, yeah
You tried to touch me, but then I knew your plan,
You tried to take my world away, oh no,
Now I see it, its as clear as day,
No youll never stand a chance, oh no youll never stand a chance.
You tried to lead me, to the land where you keep your lies,
But Ive seen this read before, oh yeah,
There is no reason why I should listen now,
No youll never stand a chance, oh no youll never stand a chance.
So many people tried before, but still I came through stronger than before,
Someone like you will never get through my door no more,
Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible.
Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible. yeah.
Every lie that you tell you get closer,
Closer to the edge of the cauldron and in to the fire, yeah.
Every life you destroy will return, it will come back and haunt you,
For ever and ever.
Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible.
Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible. yeah.
This is no ordinary soul that youre destroying,
Not just another life that drifts along with the sands of time.

Palm Reader
Just give me a call
When you feel better
But you never do
And Im just another debtor
To some palm reader
Whos got all her hands mixed up
Palm readers breath
Smells of brandy and cigarettes
As she sells me sweet forgets
She needs something to get her through
She runs a scam like me and you
Oh yeah me and you
Freud said that love
Was a good psychosis
But I dont know
Ive had too many doses
Hes a creep
And we all know that
He probably made it up
Believe in me
And this lie
Tell me everything will be alright
Cos its so good to believe
But you turn my hope into a weapon
I kept your sweater til the scent was gone
Bunched up in my hands
When the days were long
But I still sniff it
I walk alone on the concrete with the living
And did you stop
To gather round the fallen ones?
They dont know why
Neither do i
Neither do i
Neither do i
Neither do i
Believe in me
And this lie
Tell me everything will be alright
Cos its so good to believe
We could turn it all around in a night
You and i
Cos its so good
But you turn my hope into a weapon
Yeah you turn my hope into a weapon
Oh no oh no
Theres no one to trust
Except maybe the two of us
But thats in the past
The place where Im living
Haunted by broken dreams
I read the horoscopes in magazines
Especially yours
In the sign of a leo
The regal ones
Will mend you like your blouse so
Oh its so slow
And when will we let me go
Let me go
Let me know
Let me go
Believe in me
And this lie
Tell me everything will be alright
Cos its so good to believe
We could turn it all around in a night
You and i
Cos its so good
But youll turn hope into a weapon
Yeah youll turn hope into a weapon

Night Talk
Boys watch from windows tonight
Im not surpriesed to see you waiting here
You keep them in business just supplying you
Get in the car Ive something to say
Stay in bed why waste my time
Open your eyes but only if you can
Office in a sidestreet is no place for you
Night talk and romance like beat the clock.
Boys like me arent supposed to cry
But its so easy to do
Boys like me arent supposed to cry
But just look at you
Night talk.
Take things slow you can crack
Like your face I dont understand
How you smile and pretend its fun
Do you laugh when the rats come round to play?
Boys like me arent supposed to cry
But its so easy to do
Boys like me arent supposed to cry
But just look at you
Night talk.

Small Talk
Dont talk back to me, dont talk back to me
Dont talk back to me, dont talk
Going round in circles, hearing too many points of view
Just words to tire me out, small talk I could do without
I would be amazed if you returned to see things my way
Now that youve been disrespectful to my sense of pride
Isnt it a shame that you were lying when you said to me (small talk)
I was the only one, you and I were meant to be
I expect youll never really feel the way that I do
All of this is with regret, Im sure you will agree
Say something to me, anything at all
I want you to mean what you say
Ive seen all I want to see, and you mean the world to me
Ive lived for each moment to be with you, with you, with you
Small talk, small talk, small talk, small talk
You say I dont talk enough, that applies to both of us
Dont try to sound me out, something I could do without
So much goes on inside your head, I often wonder
Have you heard enough to know, theres nothing left to say
Say something to me, anything at all
I want you to mean what you say
Ive seen all I want to see, and you mean the world to me
Ive lived for each moment to be with you, with you, with you
Small talk
Small talk
Ooh small talk
Thats all I ever hear
Small talk
Ill be alright
It may take sometime
But Ill be alright (dont talk back to me)
Ill be alright (dont talk back to me) (dont want to be alone, nothing worth to carry on)
Ill be alright (dont talk back to me) (try hard to understand, you wont seem to lend a hand)
Ill be alright (dont talk back to me) (without youll fail to see, you never spare a thought for me)
Ill be alright (dont talk back to me) (so many things you said, going round in circles)
Ill be alright (dont talk back to me) (Ill rise above it all, enough to see another day)
Ill be alright
Ill be alright
Dont talk back to me...

U Bring Me Down
Dont tell me what you are
Dont tell me what youre after
Dont tell me what you want
Dont tell me what you need
Arent you just the one to always point the finger
I dont care for you cos you dont care for me !
U bring me down........repeat
Counter rap
U bring me down/youre giving me no hope
Sucking off our land/blowing off the smoke
Virus in the veins/that run into the sea
Poisoning the world/with youre generosity
U bring me down/youre killing me with lies
You take away our ears/ wont take away my eyes
The red red sea will return unto the vein
Covering the world/are you happy with your gain
Refrain
I could breathe, I could fly
The day before you came
(think you own my skin now)
Break the chains, free the slave
Turn the tides against you now
Talking to the sky
You promise evolution
Progression of the mind
By selling of the soul
The last will be the first
In the dust of revolution
Someone cares for me
But no one cares for you
Refrain 2
Will I breathe? will I see?
Far beneath the clearest stream
(to the deepest ocean)
Break the chains, free the slaves
Give back the blood, that you drain from this world now

Things Are Meant To Be
You've got to free it from your mind,
And let things go.
You've got to free this from your mind,
All the time.
You've got to free it from your mind,
To let things go...
Or,
You'll be left behind.
You've got to free it from your mind,
Everything is meant.
You've got to free it from your mind,
You can circumvent events.
You've got to free this from your mind,
All the time...
Because things are meant to be!
There is a freedom knowing,
Things are meant to be.
No need to poll a voter.
Things are meant to be.
Or heat up in a roast.
Things are meant to be.
You've got to free this from your mind,
All the time...
Because things,
Are meant to be!
There is a freedom knowing,
Things are meant to be.
No need to poll a voter.
Things are meant to be.
Or heat up in a roast.
Things are meant to be.
You've got to free it from your mind,
And let things go.
Because...
Things.
Are.
Meant...
To be!

Talking In The Dark
I tried in vain to drive myself insane
I talk to myself but I dont listen
I found out what I was missing
I miss talking in the dark
Without you, Im not conversational
Without the sense of the occasional
Without you, I miss talking in the dark
When the barking and the biting is through
We can talk like were in love or talk like were above it
We can talk and talk until we talk ourselves out of it
I look for the news, somebody to abuse
I look at myself but its so chancy
I see things that I dont fancy
I miss talking in the dark
Without you, Im not conversational
Without the sense of the occasional
Without you, I miss talking in the dark
Without you, I miss talking in the dark

Are You Lonely Tonight
Sometimes I can tell early in the day
Sometimes I can sense in an uncanny way
When things arent going right
It looks like just another lonely night
Wake me when its over shake me when its done
Maybe when the sun comes up Ill find a place to run
So dont lay there like a fool
cause all you have to do is call me
(chorus)
Well are you alone tonight
Or are you lonely tonight
Say youre lonely tonight
travel round the world seen a million girls
I know Ive been around nothin gets me down
cause theres someone out there just like you
Someones out there just like me too
Well are you alone tonight
Or are you lonely tonight
Say youre lonely tonight
Baby dont let it dont let it get ya
Just say the word and Ill be your cover
Im gonna try to get there today
Call me and tell me
You dont need another day
Lonely night (lonely tonight
Sometimes I can tell you dont have to say
Sometimes I can sense in an uncanny war
When things arent going right
It looks like just another lonely
Well are you alone tonight
Or are you lonely tonight
Say youre lonely tonight
Well are you alone tonight
Or are you lonely tonight

Dont expect and you wont be disappointed
And dont judge
Offer your love
Dont make promises to the world
Keep them to yourself

Sympathy
Stranger than your sympathy
And this is my apology
I killed myself from the inside out
And all my fears have pushed you out
And I wished for things that I dont need
(all I wanted)
And what I chased wont set me free
(all I wanted)
And I get scared but Im not crawlin on my knees
Oh, yeah
Everythings all wrong, yeah
Everythings all wrong, yeah
Where the hell did I think I was?
And stranger than your sympathy
Take these things, so I dont feel
Im killing myself from the inside out
And now my heads been filled with doubt
Were taught to lead the life you choose
(all I wanted)
You know your loves run out on you
(all I wanted)
And you cant see when all your dreams arent coming true
Oh, yeah
Its easy to forget, yeah
When you choke on the regrets, yeah
Who the hell did I think I was?
And stranger than your sympathy
And all these thoughts you stole from me
And Im not sure where I belong
And no wheres home and no more wrong
And I was in love with things I tried to make you believe I was
And I wouldnt be the one to kneel before the dreams I wanted
And all the dark and all the lies were all the empty things disguised as me
Mmm, yeah

Stranger than your sympathy

Just because youre down
And just cause youre blue
Dont make me too
Although youve found
Beauty more than me
Dont talk to me
About being free
Thats freedom without love
And magic without love
Magic without love
Here were safe
Better things will surely come our way
Here were safe
Better things will surely come our way
You say the magics gone
Well Im not a magician
You say the sparks gone
Well get an electrician
And save your line about needing to be free
Ah, thats bullshit babe

Took all except my name
Another alien on broadway
Well, some things in this world you just cant change
Some things you cant see until it gets too late

Baby, baby, baby when all your love is gone
Who will save me from all Im up against out in this world
And maybe, maybe, maybe
Youll find something thats enough to keep you
But if the bright lights dont receive you
You should turn yourself around and come on home
I got a hole in me now
I got a scar I can talk about
She keeps a picture of me in her apartment in the city
But some things in this world
Man, they dont make sense
Some things you dont leave until they leave you
And then the things that you miss, you say

Let that city spit you out (come on home)

The Morning Sad
Wake up and talk to me
Its a long time since last night
I know we said things, the saddest things
And Im not sure it was wise
When the mornings sad
You dont look back
And you sure dont look ahead
The morning sad
You know, the morning sad
The morning sad
Never had it so bad
Never had it so bad
Im writing desperate songs
While youre fast asleep inside
I could try to sing
(I could try to bide my time to wake up)
Until it rings
But my voice comes out uptight
When the mornings sad
You dont relax
Youll be ? ? ? your mind
The morning sad
You know the morning sad
The morning sad
Never had it so bad
Never had it so bad
I tried a little
I tried a lot
Im not a window
And youve seen through everything Ive got
Oh, I dont think that Ill be safe
Until everyones awake
Everybody, everybody, everybody, yeah...
So wake up and talk to me
Such a long time since last night
I know we said things, the maddest things
And Im not sure who was right
When the mornings sad
You wont attack
Cause youre much to weak to bite
The morning sad
You know the morning sad
The morning sad
Never had it so bad
Never had it so bad
Never had it so bad
Never had it so bad

Dont Bring Me Down
Well I dont drive a fast car
You know it just aint my style
And I dont give a damn about that
You know it aint worth my while
And Ive been known to run around
Burned some bridges in my time
You know those girls tried to tie me down
But my heart is still all mine
Well elvis had his blue suede shoes and samson had his hair
You know I got my music baby
And my dreams will take me there
You know I dont smoke cigarettes I dont see the point
And if youre gonna put smoke in your lungs
Might as well smoke a joint
Well I dont mind if you hang around
Just dont start talking that love talk baby
Dont bring me down
Well dont call me a scoundrel
Baby dont call me a thief
Dont look down your nose at me
I dont need all your grief
Join me and the jesters, singing for today
Live life at its fullest
Before it slips away
Well I dont mind if you hang around
Just dont start talking that love talk baby
Dont bring me down
Why you want to shoot me down
Im just trying to be your friend now baby
But you lock the door, hide the key, hide under the bed
Youre gonna hide from me
Come on baby, let me in ...

Dont Talk To Me!
dont talk to me about Jesus,
when you wouldnt sit down
and eat with Him...
dont talk to me about patriotism,
the only flag i allow
is the one that burns.
dont talk to me about freedom,
bought with the blood
of Native Americans...
Asians, Africans, Middle Eastern peoples,
and renegade fugitive Irishmen.
dont talk to me about equality,
when you treat your women as possessions.
dont talk to me about morality,
dont even go there!
dont talk to me about sexuality,
when you hide in darkened rooms,
doing things in secret
that dont rhyme your Sunday prayers.
dont talk to me about truth,
and try to sell me the lie!
dont talk to me about fear,
and then try to use it against me.
just... dont talk to me!

Talk To Me
(olivia newton-john)
When youre having those days when youre feeling deserted
And everyone leaves you on hold
When none of your friends seem to care what youre doin
And youre feeling old, out in the cold
When the only thing left of romance is a memory
And your memorys not strong
Whenever your clouds lose their silvery lining
Ill keep you warm, out of the storm
You dont need no psychiatry
Come on baby you can talk to me
Cuddle up on the couch with me
We can talk all night for free
You dont need to be hypnotized
Lay down here and look me in my eyes
Cuddle up on the couch with me
We can talk all night for free
Wont you talk to me
Come on and talk to me
Oh talk to me
When youre feeling the blues and theres no one to lean on
When nobody makes you belong
You need to be safe in the arms of a someone
Wholl make you strong, it wont take long
If youre lookin for someone that you can believe in
Let that someone be me
Cant think of a thing that some lovin cant handle
Lets make a start, give me your heart
You dont need no psychiatry
Come on baby you can talk to me
Cuddle up on the couch with me
We can talk all night for free
You dont need to be hypnotized
Lay down here and look me in my eyes
Cuddle up on the couch with me
We can talk all night for free
Talk to me
Oh wont you talk to me
Oh, keep on talking to me
You gotta, you gotta talk to me
