The Path

The universe has spoken
My path it has been chosen
I saw the rays of sunlight leave your eyes
I look to the horizon
Important more than I am
I'd never see my life this way again
Freedom lies before you
Believing she adores you
It's hard to smile when things get torn apart
My path it was set for me
The lies they have destroyed me
Heading endlessly into the dark
And I said "Please, don't do this
as it will compromise every single aspect of my life
Severity, such cruelty, can I be put on ice until time has passed
Let the light begin again"

You Killed Me

Dead eyes here tonight
I think I found myself so lonely
Moving further away, moving further away
I'm back in my hometown where the darkness chose y fate
And I'm living without you. I came back, is it too late?
And I'm on the street, where we left to escape
And I can not hide, Something's in the way
YOU THRILLED ME, FULTHFILLED ME, THEN KILLED ME
FOR THE WORLD TO SEE
BUT WE HAVE ALL MOVED ON,
WITH THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON
IT DAZED ME, AMAZED ME,
YOU SAVED ME LIKE NO ONE ELSE CAN
WE HAVE ALL MOVED ON,
WE HAD THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON
I've always believed that we can't control our fate
It's for those you believe in, who can talk you through your pain.
And I'm on that street, looking back with all I have
And I'm wondering, is there something in the way
YOU THRILLED ME, FULTHFILLED ME, THEN KILLED ME
FOR THE WORLD TO SEE
BUT WE HAVE ALL MOVED ON,
WITH THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON
IT DAZED ME, AMAZED ME,
YOU SAVED ME LIKE NO ONE ELSE CAN
WE HAVE ALL MOVED ON,
WE HAD THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON
YOU THRILLED ME, FULTHFILLED ME, THEN KILLED ME
FOR THE WORLD TO SEE
BUT WE HAVE ALL MOVED ON,
WITH THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON
YOU TOOK ME, YOU CHANGED ME, FORSAKE ME, HAD HATE FOR ME
BUT WE HAVE ALL MOVED ON,
WE HAD THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON

We were young we were wild we were free
From the grip of Technology
We could walk everywhere I could see the whites of your eyes
The soles of our feet used to hurt everyday
We didn't get rides like we do today
We breathe in the fresh air our lungs were so clean
Playing on the streets, we would never be seen
THE DAYS WERE SO LONG, OUR YOUTH CARRIED ON
THE YEARS PASSED AND WE'RE LOOKING BACK
THE ADVERNTURES GONE
TAKE ME RIGHT BACK
HOLD ME INSIDE THAT DREAM
LIVE IN 1 9 8 3
Hit by a car back in '79 but I remember feeling fine
I got to look into my mother's eyes one more time
School kept me alive I had so many friends
No-one didn't mind who were back then
The TVs gone and the radio's on
These were crazy, crazy crazy nights
THE DAYS WERE SO LONG, OUR YOUTH CARRIED ON
THE YEARS PASSED AND WE'RE LOOKING BACK
THE ADVERNTURES GONE
TAKE ME RIGHT BACK
HOLD ME INSIDE THAT DREAM
LIVE IN 1 9 8 3
There were no dark thoughts hiding in our minds
We dreamed of being old wished away our time
Stop for a moment to relive those days
Forever young, don't give it away
THE DAYS WERE SO LONG, OUR YOUTH CARRIED ON
THE YEARS PASSED AND WE'RE LOOKING BACK
THE ADVERNTURES GONE
TAKE ME RIGHT BACK
HOLD ME INSIDE THAT DREAM
LIVE IN 1 9 8 3

You were the one who made me spread my wings
Bu you criticize me all the same
And you were the one who took my innocence
And you told me it would always be this way
You hid from all you feared where dead and gone
But you didn't know that was for sure
And You gave birth to the one you called your own
And you blessed him, but he never asked you to
And now the time has come
Just to spend a little time apart
And now the time has come
Just to rid ourselves of pain
And now the time has come
To make changes and get out of here
And now the time has come
Just to give ourselves a break
All your stars will always shine
Catch me when I'm falling, I can't take this pain no more
And now the time has come
Just to spend a little time apart
And now the time has come
Just to rid ourselves of pain
And now the time has come
To make changes and get out of here
And now the time has come
Just to give ourselves a break
All your stars will always shine
Catch me when I'm falling, I can't take this pain no more
All your stars will always shine
As these years are dawning, things will never be the same
All your stars will always shine

Doing all I can though no-one understands this insecurity
Working on that line, giving up my precious time
to those who feed from me
In the corner of this place, A screen full of hate and mind control
But it won't be long for those days to come along when I'm back in that space, it can change the way you feel
DON'T THINK ABOUT THE PAST TIMES
DON'T THINK ABOUT THE BAD TIMES
JUST FOLLOW YOUR LIFELINE
DON'T LISTEN TO THE NEWS TODAY
DON'T LISTEN TO THE WORDS THEY SAY
JUST FOLLOW YOUR LIFELINE
Look back today I thought about the way you took me energy
And the stars would shine my way
there was no way I could stay in all this misery
In the corner of this place, that screen full of hate and mind control
I'm not listening anymore, gonna walk out that door and find a better place and not look back to you
DON'T THINK ABOUT THE PAST TIMES
DON'T THINK ABOUT THE BAD TIMES
JUST FOLLOW YOUR LIFELINE
DON'T LISTEN TO THE NEWS TODAY
DON'T LISTEN TO THE WORDS THEY SAY
JUST FOLLOW YOUR LIFELINE
And it all comes down to this

Late December Lie
05:54
|
|

Single girl.. gin and lemonade
Silhouette in the corner hiding in the shade
and the band plays on and on and on
I wasn't looking for a big romance
maybe a hook up after a little dance
And the band plays on and on and on
I DIDN'T WANT LOVE AND I DIDN'T WANT YOU
I HAD A FEELING INSIDE I BELIEVED WOULD COME TRUE
I STOLE A KISS WHEN I KNEW THAT IT WASN'T RIGHT
I LEFT HER STANDING IN THE COLD WHILST I LOOKED IN YOUR EYES
I REMEMBER IT WELL THAT LATE DECEMBER LIE
A wayward glance from a future bride
A stolen kiss right by the fireside
And the music plays on and on and on
Sat on the doorstep love has been abused
Waiting in the cold feeling so confused
And the night goes on and on and on
I DIDN'T WANT LOVE AND I DIDN'T WANT YOU
I HAD A FEELING INSIDE I BELIEVED WOULD COME TRUE
I STOLE A KISS WHEN I KNEW THAT IT WASN'T RIGHT
I LEFT HER STANDING IN THE COLD WHILST I LOOKED IN YOUR EYES
I REMEMBER IT WELL THAT LATE DECEMBER LIE
Late December
Late December never lies
See her sitting by my front door
Broken heart lying on the floor
and the night went on and on and on
It didn't take long for everything to line up
2 lovers fall out and a little good luck
watching Blackie sing on a warm summer night
you called me to tell me that the time was now right
Then we met on that date late September night
I DIDN'T WANT LOVE AND I DIDN'T WANT YOU
I HAD A FEELING INSIDE I BELIEVED WOULD COME TRUE
LIKE A KICK IN THE FACE THAT IT WASN'T RIGHT
I LEFT HER STANDING IN THE COLD WHILST I LOOKED IN YOUR EYES
I REMEMBER IT WELL THAT LATE DECEMBER LIE
I DIDN'T WANT LOVE AND I DIDN'T WANT YOU
I HAD A FEELING INSIDE I BELIEVED WOULD COME TRUE
I STOLE A KISS WHEN I KNEW THAT IT WASN'T RIGHT
I LEFT HER STANDING IN THE COLD WHILST I LOOKED IN YOUR EYES
I REMEMBER IT WELL THAT LATE DECEMBER LIE

Without You

I remember a friend of mine, So sad now that she's gone
They'll tell me that I'll forget, Forget as time goes on
You could have any man any man that crossed your way
Your smile could dry a hundred tears
Oh my friend I miss now you're gone
Oh, now you're gone
I cry your name out in the wind I hear you calling
I never realised how lost and lonely I'd be
Here without you, without you
Bleached blonde hair, wicked eyes and legs to kill
I should have known that you lied when you said you will
There'll come the day when your looks all fade away
I see you standing in the rain, standing in the rain
I cry your name out in the wind I hear you calling
I never realised how lost and lonely I'd be
Here without you, without you
Here without you....

Forevermore

Hoping that she will come again and again
And he hopes this time she will help him mend
And he's holding back the tears in his eyes
Hoping that she'll never see him cry
Holding her in his arms is all he ever thinks about
Every night he wakes in tears try to block those vivid dreams out
She's close enough to feel his pain but not a million miles away now
But the words he wants to say just can't come out
Beating of a cold and empty heart
At night he drinks he drinks and tears himself apart
The loneliness and crazy thoughts where nobody sees your pain
Emptiness surrounding him is the only thing left to remain
WALK AWAY NOW, LET IT GO NOW
THOUGH YOUR LIFE IS INCOMPLETE
DON'T BE HOLDING BACK THE TEARS FOREVERMORE
TAKE SOME TIME TO THINK IT OVER
THOUGH YOUR LIFE IS INCOMPLETE
DON'T BE HOLDING BACK THE TEARS FOREVERMORE
Hoping that she will come again and again
And he hopes this time she will help him mend
And she knows his heart is filled with pain
But doesn't seem to care now
The words he wants to say just won't come out
WALK AWAY NOW, LET HER GO NOW
THOUGH YOUR LIFE IS INCOMPLETE
DON'T BE HOLDING BACK THE TEARS FOREVERMORE
TAKE SOME TIME TO REGAIN CONTROL
THOUGH YOUR LIFE IS INCOMPLETE
DON'T BE HOLDING BACK THE TEARS FOREVERMORE

8 o' Clock on Monday morning and I'm sitting on a train
On my way to suffer the superficial and mundane
I take my coat off make a drink and begin to take my chair
My mind begins to wander and it takes me right back there
A few words are said and it comes clear that the future's there to grasp
6 strings, a voice and an open road we never looked toward the past
An agent for our blood and sweat with one eye on the prize
Too much for me too much for you the dots began to change our minds
Sunday nights with no money to spend
Getting sick n tired of the ice cream van
A 4 track player with us right to the end
now we're Shooting Aliens
The thorns upon the old Black Rose may have drawn a little blood
Harsh words were spoke and the gloves came off, we're gonna drag it through the mud
They took the shirts right off our backs and they left us all for dead
But we came back to fight another day we're Shooting Aliens instead

If I could get out of here I could
Walk a thousand miles
And I would give anything to see your pretty eyes
If I had the time to think I could
Remember my own name
These strange jumped up little northern girls
All seem to look the same
If I, I could get out of here
If I, I could escape
I thought you needed love
If I, I could escape
If I, I could get out of here
If I, I could escape
I thought you needed love

Waste The Time

Giving you my last heartbeat
I'd give it up for free
I tried to write a song about you
But it ended up about me
A time to look at what I gave back
A time to look once was
I've been standing here forever
Did I really find my cause
So how do we say goodbye
Maybe we need a little more time
to show you that it mattered
That I was here alive
I tried to give it everything
i thought I had to give
And make sure that it mattered
I didn't waste the I lived
We only get one chance at this circus
The one that they call life]
And there is no reset button
And we never get to rewind
I moved forward through these years
and I hope I made you smile
I left my marks upon this train ride
I'm gonna sit here and think about them for a while
So how do we say goodbye
Maybe we need a little more time
to show you that it mattered
That I was here alive
I tried to give it everything
I thought I had to give
And make sure that it mattered
I didn't waste the I lived
I hope I leave this world a better place
Than the one I came to find
These things I leave behind me
I hope they're loving and they're kind
So how do we say goodbye
Will you read between the lines
And make sure that it mattered
That I was here alive
Will you give it everything
I know you have to give
And make sure that it matters
don't waste the time you live
