Dreams


All my life

is changing every day

in every possible way

in all my dreams

it's never quite as it seems

never quite as it seems

i know I’ve felt like this before

now I’m feeling it even more

because it came from you

then i open up and see

the person falling here is me

a different way to be

(yodel like you're stoned)

i want more

impossible to ignore

impossible to ignore


Linger

If you, if you could return
Don't let it burn
Don't let it fade
I'm sure I'm happier
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining everyday..

I swore, I swore I would be true
But honey so did you...
So why were you holding her hand?
Is that the way we stand?
Were you lying all the time?
Was it just a game to you?

But you know its true..
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to?
Do you have to?
Do you have to let it linger?

Oh, I thought the world of you...
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong..
I was wrong

If you, if you could get by
Trying not to lie..
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always ruin you
I just wanna be with you

And oh, its true...
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to?
Do you have to?
Do you have to let it linger?

And oh, its true...
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to?
Do you have to?
Do you have to let it linger?

You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to?
Do you have to?
Do you have to let it linger?

 Zombie

 

Another head hangs lowly

Child is slowly taken

And the violence caused such silence

Who are we mistaken

But you see it's not me,

It's not my family

In your head, in your

head they are fighting

With their tanks and their bombs

And their bombs and their guns

In your head

In your head they are cryin'

In your head

Zombie

What's in your head, in your head

Zombie

Another mother's breakin'

Heart is taking over

When the violence causes silence

We must be mistaken

It's the same old theme since 1916

In your head,

In your head they're still fightin'

With their tanks

In your head they are dyin'

In your head, in your head

Zombie

What's in your head, in your head

Zombie


Ode to My Family

Understand the things I say

Don't turn away from me

Cause I spent half my life out there

You wouldn't disagree

D'you see me, d'you see

Do you like me. Do you like me standing there

D'you notice, d'you know

Do you see me, do you see me

Does anyone care

Unhappiness, where's when I was young

And we didn't give a damn

'Cause we were raised

To see life as fun and take it if we can

My mother, my mother she hold me

Did she hold me, when I was out there

My father, my father, he liked me

Oh he liked me, does anyone care

Understand what I've become

It wasn't my design

And people everywhere think

Something better than I am

But I miss you. I miss

'Cause you liked it. I liked it

When I was out there

D'you know this, d'you know

You did not find me, you did not find

Does anyone care

Unhappiness was when I was young

And we didn't give a damn

'Cause we were raised

To see life as fun and take it if we can

My mother, my mother she hold me

Did she hold me, when I was out there

My father, my father, he liked me

Oh me liked me, does anyone care

Does anyone care


I Can't Be With You


Lying in my bed again

And I cry cos you're not here

Crying in my head again

And I know that it's not cleart

Put your hands, put your hands

Inside my face and see that it's just you

But it's bad and it's mad

and it's making me sad

Because I can't be with you

Baby I can't be with you

Thinking back on how things were

And how we loved so well

I wanted to be the mother

of your child

And now it's just farewell

Put your hands in my hand

We'll find another end

And come with me

And my head, and my head

On anyone's shoulder

Cause I can't be with you

Baby I can't be with you

Cause you're not here, you're not here

Baby I can't be with you

Cause you're not here, you're not here

And baby I'm still in love with you
