Real World Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm in love with the real world
It's mutual, or so it seems
'cause only in the real world
Do things happen like they do in my dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
Some of the rules may be different
But maybe they'll stay the same
[Chorus]
In the real world, in the real world
In the real world, we both win when we play the same game
[Verse 2]
I'm in love with somebody
I wish somebody loved me too
You may wonder how this concerns you
Well, perhaps the somebody is you
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't even know what your name is
But I just hope that you'll stay
[Chorus]
In the real world, in the real world
In the real world, things happen this way
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I'm in love with somebody
I wish somebody loved me too
You may wonder how this concerns you
Well, perhaps the somebody is you
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't even know what your name is
But I just hope that you'll stay
[Chorus]
In the real world, in the real world
In the real world, we both win when we play the same game
Hey, in the real world, in a real world
In the real world, by the way, what's your name?
Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You spurn my natural emotions
You make me feel I'm dirt, and I'm hurt
And if I start a commotion
I run the risk of losing you, and that's worse
[Refrain]
Ever fallen in love with someone?
Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with?
[Verse 2]
I can't see much of a future
Unless we find out what's to blame, what a shame
And we won't be together much longer
Unless we realize that we are the same
[Refrain]
Ever fallen in love with someone?
Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with?
[Verse 3]
You disturb my natural emotions
You make me feel I'm dirt, and I'm hurt
And if I start a commotion
I'll only end up losing you, and that's worse
[Refrain]
Ever fallen in love with someone?
Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with?
Ever fallen in love with someone?
Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with?
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Refrain]
Ever fallen in love with someone?
Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with?
[Outro]
-'ve fallen in love with?
Ever fallen in love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with?
Operators Manual Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Operators manual tells me what to do
When emotions blow a fuse, indicating blue
Operators manual tells me what to find
And how to make adjustments when you tamper with my mind
[Chorus]
Oh, operators manual, I'd just fall apart without you
If only I had a mechanic, then somehow, I know I'd pull through
[Verse 2]
Operators manual, on page 63
Tells me what to do when you do these things to me
[Chorus]
Oh, operators manual, I'd just fall apart without you
If only I had a mechanic, then somehow, I know I'd pull through
[Verse 3]
Operators manual tells me what to do
When emotions blow a fuse, and I'm feeling blue
Operators manual, on page sixty-three
Tells me what to do when you do these things to me
[Chorus]
Oh, operators manual, I'd just fall apart without you
If only I had a mechanic, then somehow, I know I'd pull through
Nostalgia Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I bet that you love me like I love you
But I should know that gambling just don't pay
So I look up to the sky
And I wonder what it'll be like in days gone by
As I sit and bathe in the wave of nostalgia for an age yet to come
I always used to dream of the past
But like they say, yesterday never comes
Sometimes there's a song in my brain
And I feel that my heart knows the refrain
I guess it's just the music that brings on nostalgia for an age yet to come
[Hook]
Ah, nostalgia for an age yet to come
Nostalgia for an age yet to come
[Verse 2]
About the future, I only can reminisce
For what I've had is what I'll never get
And although this may sound strange
My future and my past are presently disarranged
And I'm surfing on a wave of nostalgia for an age yet to come
I look, I only see what I don't know
All that was strong, invincible, is slain
Takes more than sunshine to make everything fine
And I feel like I'm trapped in the middle of time
And this constant feeling of nostalgia for an age yet to come
[Hook]
Ah, nostalgia for an age yet to come
[Verse 3]
About the future, I only can reminisce
For what I've had is what I'll never get
And although this may sound strange
My future and my past are presently disarranged
And I'm surfing on a wave of nostalgia for an age yet to come
I look, I only see what I don't know
All that was strong, invincible, is slain
Takes more than sunshine to make everything fine
And I feel like I'm caught in the middle of time
And this constant feeling of nostalgia for an age yet to come
[Hook]
Ah, nostalgia for an age yet to come
[Outro]
Nostalgia for an age yet to come
Nostalgia for an age yet to come
Sixteen Again Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Feeling like I'm almost 16 again
Layin' 'round, doing nothing like all my friends
Play it cool, don't get angry, count up to 10
Just like I was 16 again
No one gets the lowdown right from the start
Everybody gets the showdown, right from the heart
But that's all that's on the menu, and life's à la carte
I don't know
[Chorus 1]
Things in life are not played for keeps
If it makes you happy, it'll make you weep
And if you want some more practical advice
If you can't think once, then don't think twice
'cause things won't seem so nice
You'll wish you were 16 again, oh no
[Verse 2]
Feeling rather strange when you're 16 again
Things don't seem the same, the past is so plain
This future is our future, this time's not a game
The time you're 16 again
Always on your own when there's nobody else
Asking myself "Would I be someone else?"
But after all, life's only death's recompense
I don't know
[Chorus 1]
Things in life are not played for keeps
If it makes you happy, it'll make you weep
And if you want some more practical advice
If you can't think once, then don't think twice
'cause things won't seem so nice
You'll wish you were 16 again, oh no
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 2]
Look at me, here I am for your eyes
Mirrored proof of what you recognize
I know I never will feel quite like you
And I know you won't treat me right till I do
But at least we'll know it's true
That I'm 16 again, oh no
[Verse 3]
Feeling like I'm almost 16 again
Lazin' 'round, doing nothing like all my friends
Play it cool, don't get angry, count up to 10
Just like I was 16 again
Always on your own when there's nobody else
Asking myself "Would I be someone else?"
But after all, life's only death's recompense
I don't know
[Chorus 3]
Look at me, here I am for your eyes (16 again)
Mirrored proof of love's suicide (16 again)
I know I never will feel quite like you (16 again)
And I know you won't treat me right till I do (16 again)
But at least we'll know it's true
That I'm 16 again, oh no (16 again)
[Outro]
16 again, 16 again
E.S.P. Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Do you believe in E.S.P.?
I do, and I'm trying to get through to you
If you're picking up off me
Then you'll know just what to do, think
[Verse 2]
Brainwaves transmitted from my mind
Of a magnetic kind
I don't know what to do
If I can't get through to you, so think
[Verse 3]
Do you believe in E.S.P.?
I've been trying to get through to you
If you've been picking up off me
Then you'll know just what to do, don't you?
