Soul on a Rock Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This desolation sweeping over me
I find hard to disguise
The contradiction what I want and what I see
Had led to darkening skies
[Refrain 1]
And I don't know if you're just deceiving me
And I just hope that you're not deceiving me
[Verse 2]
I often wonder, are there secrets that you've kept
With some other guy?
Some consolation, it hasn't happened yet
Or was that just a lie?
[Refrain 2]
And I just hope that you're not deceiving me
And I don't know if you're just deceiving me
[Chorus]
My soul on a rock, I know what I feel
My soul on a rock, it hurts 'cause it's real
My soul on a rock, I wanna believe
[Verse 3]
I often wonder, are there secrets that you've kept
With that other guy?
Some consolation, it hasn't happened yet
Or is that just a lie?
[Refrain 3]
And I just hope that you're not deceiving me
[Chorus]
My soul on a rock, I know what I feel
My soul on a rock, it hurts 'cause it's real
My soul on a rock, I wanna believe
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
My soul on a rock, I know what I feel
My soul on a rock, it hurts 'cause it's real
My soul on a rock, I wanna believe
[Refrain 3]
And I just hope that you're not deceiving me
[Chorus]
My soul on a rock, I know what I feel
My soul on a rock, it hurts 'cause it's real
My soul on a rock, I wanna believe
[Refrain 3]
And I just hope that you're not deceiving me
[Chorus]
My soul on a rock, I know what I feel
My soul on a rock, it hurts 'cause it's real
My soul on a rock, I wanna believe
Rendezvous Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'd overslept, so I caught the bus
It's the only thing I could do
I went upstairs, took a vacant seat
And found I'd sat next to you
[Verse 2]
It's been a long time since we last met
I thought you'd moved out of town
Still have the power to stir me up
Just when I hoped I'd settled down
[Chorus 1]
(O-oh-oh) I'm on a cloud, I must be in a dream
(O-oh-oh) This can't be real, this can't be happening
[Verse 3]
Before I knew, we had reached your stop
I blurted out something obscene
You promised that you would call me soon
Leave a message on my machine
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 2]
(O-oh-oh) I'm on a cloud, I must be in a dream
(O-oh-oh) This can't be real, this can't be happening
(O-oh-oh) What are the odds against this rendezvous?
(O-oh-oh) It's worth the gamble when the prize is you
[Chorus 2]
(O-oh-oh) I'm on a cloud, I must be in a dream
(O-oh-oh) This can't be real, this can't be happening
(O-oh-oh) What are the odds against this rendezvous?
(O-oh-oh) It's worth the gamble when the prize is you
Speed of Life Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're running in circles everywhere
Going fast without a care
And high up above you, high up above you
It feels like electric in your veins
Throwing stones without any pains
And high up above you, high up above you
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, day turns to night
Well, night turns to day
[Chorus 1]
'Cause you're livin' at the speed of life
On the edge of a razor knife
Yeah, you're livin' at the speed of life
Speed of life
[Verse 2]
You're moving around and lost and found
Hearing things without a sound
And somewhere inside you, somewhere inside you
You're playing games you can't explain
It's hard to remember your own name
And I can't find you, I can't find you
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, day turns to night
Well, night turns to day
[Chorus 2]
'Cause you're livin' at the speed of life
On the edge of a razor knife
Yeah, you're livin' at the speed of life
Speed of life
Livin' at the speed of life
On the edge of a razor knife
Yeah, you're livin' at the speed of life
Tonight
[Bridge]
Tonight
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, day turns to night
Well, night turns to day
[Chorus 2]
'Cause you're livin' at the speed of life
On the edge of a razor knife
Yeah, you're livin' at the speed of life
Speed of life
Livin' at the speed of life
On the edge of a razor knife
Yeah, you're livin' at the speed of life
Tonight
[Outro]
Here, tonight
Tonight
Here, tonight
Tonight, yeah
Don’t Let the Car Crash Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Been down this road so many times
I know it like the back of my hand
We've seen all the signs before
Somethings you'll never understand
[Chorus]
(Save it, save it) Don't let the car crash
(Wave it, wave it) Don't let the car crash
(Save it, save it) Don't let the car crash now
[Verse 2]
Doin' time, for so many crimes
Life is life until you die
Opening doors to unlock your mind
You can't escape, although you try
[Chorus]
(Save it, save it) Don't let the car crash
(Wave it, wave it) Don't let the car crash
(Save it, save it) Don't let the car crash now
(Save it, save it) Don't let the car crash
(Wave it, wave it) Don't let the car crash
(Save it, save it) Don't let the car crash now
[Bridge]
Help me to help you
Help me to help you help yourself
Help me to help you
Help me to help you help yourself
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
(Save it, save it) Don't let the car crash
(Wave it, wave it) Don't let the car crash
(Save it, save it) Don't let the car crash now
(Save it, save it) Don't let the car crash
(Wave it, wave it) Don't let the car crash
(Save it, save it) Don't let the car crash now
(Save it, save it) Don't let the car crash
(Wave it, wave it) Don't let the car crash
(Save it, save it) Don't let the car crash now
Runaround Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You send my blood pressure rising
You're driving me crazy, you give me the runaround
Please, and I'm not criticizing
You're driving me crazy, you give me the runaround
[Chorus 1]
Nobody thrills me like you, I want you all the time
Though I'm patient and I've waited, you give me the runaround
I'm in love, trust that it's true, just give me a sign
God knows I'm dedicated, you give me the runaround
[Verse 2]
Sex is a bone of contention
You're driving me crazy, you give me the runaround
Love scarcely warrants a mention
You're driving me crazy, you give me the runaround
[Chorus 2]
Confession's good for the soul, we've both seen better days
I'm getting so frustrated, you give me the runaround
Situation's out of control, gotta be another way
A desired that must be sated, you give me the runaround
[Bridge]
Think of how things 'ought to be, reality, not fantasy
So certain 'bout the way that I feel
You say you need a guarantee, just tell me what you want to see
Oh, how I wish that you would be mine
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Sex is a bone of contention
You're driving me crazy, you give me the runaround
Love scarcely warrants a mention
You're driving me crazy, you give me the runaround
[Chorus 2]
Confession's good for the soul, we've both seen better days
I'm getting so frustrated, you give me the runaround
Situation's out of control, gotta be another way
A desired that must be sated, you give me the runaround
[Bridge]
Think of how things 'ought to be, reality, not fantasy
So certain 'bout the way that I feel
You say you need a guarantee, just tell me what you want to see
Oh, how I wish that you would be mine
Doesn’t Mean Anything Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're looking at life through the wrong end by a telescope
You see a [?] on a slippery slope
On the claws of death, in the back of your mind
Everything exists in some shape or form
[Chorus]
Because you like to know your feelings
And you like to do your thing
And the whole world that's around you
Doesn't mean anything
[Verse 2]
Inner-city live, living with tracker dogs
Too much information, running wild, that's what you buy
All you got now is your precious time
You live your life high, wondering "Why?"
[Chorus]
Because you like to know your feelings
And you like to do your thing
And the whole world that's around you
Doesn't mean anything
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Because you like to know your feelings
And you like to do your thing
And the whole world that's around you
Doesn't mean anything
Because you like to know your feelings
And you like to do your thing
And the whole world that's around you
Doesn't mean anything
[Outro]
Doesn't mean anything
Doesn't mean anything
Doesn't mean anything
Doesn't mean anything
Doesn't mean anything
Phone Lyrics
[Verse 1]
At dinner, while watching your favourite soap
You'll always return the call
You talk a long time in that certain way
But you don't really say that much at all
[Chorus 1]
You are so close
And yet so far away from me
Yes, I get sad, I get sad and lonely
You're all that matters to me
Just put the phone down
Just put the phone down
[Verse 2]
I know the reason that you can't talk
What's unsaid, I guess can keep
Why don't you call me on the mobile phone?
After all, you know, talk is so cheap
[Chorus 2]
You are so close
And yet so far away from me
Yes, I get sad, I get sad and lonely
You're all that matters to me
Just put the phone down
Just put the phone down
Just put the phone down
Just put the phone down
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus 2]
You are so close
And yet so far away from me
Yes, I get sad, I get sad and lonely
You're all that matters to me
Just put the phone down
Just put the phone down
Just put the phone down
Just put the phone down
[Outro]
Just put the phone down
Just put the phone down
Just put the phone down
Just put the phone down
Just put the phone down
Under the Sun Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I never meant to drive you away
I really want you to stay
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I feel you're being unkind
When you say I'm a waste of time
But I can't get you out of my mind
[Chorus 1]
Been the same since long ago
Give and take takes two, you know
Only goes to show there's nothing new under the sun
[Verse 2]
And when I feel on a roll
You open up my soul
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Is it or isn't it me?
Was I so blind that I just couldn't see?
I'm tired of this ambiguity
[Chorus 2]
Been the same since long ago
Give and take takes two, you know
Only goes to show there's nothing new under the sun
All uphill, feelings low
Such a little so and so
Only goes to show there's nothing new under the sun
[Bridge]
Why on Earth can I never win?
Why has fate such a mocking grin?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Is it or isn't it me?
Was I so blind that I just couldn't see?
I'm tired of this ambiguity
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Why on Earth can I never win?
Why has fate such a mocking grin?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I feel you're being unkind
When you say I'm a waste of time
But I can't get you out of my mind
[Chorus 2]
Been the same since long ago
Give and take takes two, you know
Only goes to show there's nothing new under the sun
All uphill, feelings low
Such a little so and so
Only goes to show there's nothing new under the sun
[Outro]
Only goes to show there's nothing new under the sun
New under the sun
Choices Lyrics
[Intro]
Choices
[Verse 1]
Indecision, just can't make up my mind
Is there a solution anyway?
[Refrain 1]
I thought you were the only one who could take me there
Choices, choices, choices
[Verse 2]
All at once, I realize the reasons why
Therefore, the only one is you
[Refrain 2]
You said I was the only one who could take you there
Choices, choices, choices
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Releasing the energy that makes me
Want to shout out loud when you're not there
[Refrain 2]
You said I was the only one who could take you there
Choices, choices, choices
[Verse 4]
Inbetween what I have seen, and what I dream
I hope that I will find you there
[Refrain 3]
You say I'm not the only one who could take you there
Choices, choices, choices
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 5]
Indecision, just can't make up your mind
Is there a solution anyway?
[Refrain 3]
You say I'm not the only one who could take you there
Choices, choices, choices
[Verse 4]
Inbetween what I have seen, and what I dream
I hope that I will find you there
[Refrain 4]
I guess I'm not the only one who could take you there
Choices, choices, choices
Choices, choices, choices
