I stand self stepping on the Shame Street
And I watched that man too strange
Think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is leave with danger
Complicating-circulating
New Life, New Life
Operating-generating
New Life, New Life
Transition to another place
So the time will pass more slowly
Each who is fussed
And the shadow's red light
The bell might seen now showy
Complicating-circulating
New Life, New Life
Operating-generating
New Life, New Life
This place is hidden in the outer side
And the roaches leave to nowhere
The stranger in the door is the same as before
So the question answers nowhere
Complicating-circulating
New Life, New Life
Operating-generating
New Life, New Life
I stand self stepping on the Shame Street
And I watched that man too strange
Think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is leave with danger
Complicating-circulating
New Life, New Life
Operating-generating
New Life, New Life
Ah, ah, ah, ah, woah...
When I'm with you baby
I go out of my head
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough
Everything you did to me
And everything you said
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
We simplyfied as we fall in love
And I just can't see to getting of a...
We walked together
Were walking down the street
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough
Everytime I think of you
And I know you have to beat
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough
It's getting harder as we fall in love
And I just can't see to getting of a...
And when it rains you're shining down to me
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough
Just like a rainbow you know you send a grid
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough
You're like an angel and you give me your love
And I just can't see to getting of a
Just can't get enough
Just can't get enough
Just can't get enough
Just can't get enough
There'll be times
When my crimes
Will seem almost unforgivable
I give in to sin
Because you have to make this life liveable
But when you think I've had enough
From your sea of love
I'll take more than another riverfull
And I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile
Strangelove
Strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove
That's how my love goes
Strangelove
Will you give it to me
Will you take the pain
I will give to you
Again and again
And will you return it
There'll be days
When I'll stray
I may appear to be
Constantly out of reach
I give in to sin
Because I like to practise what I preach
I'm not trying to say
I'll have it all my way
I'm always willing to learn
When you've got something to teach
And I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile
Pain will you return it
I'll say it again -- pain
Pain will you return it
I won't say it again
I give in
Again and again
I give in
Will you give it to me
I give in
I'll say it again
I give in
I give in
Again and again
I give in
That's how my love goes
I give in
I'll say it again
I give in
Behind The Wheel
My little girl Drive anywhere Do what you want I don't care Tonight I'm in the hands of fate I hand myself Over on a plate Now Oh little girl There are times when I feel I rather not be The one behind the wheel Come Pull my strings Watch me move I do anything Please Sweet little girl I prefer You behind the wheel And me the passenger Drive I'm yours to keep Do what you want I'm going cheap Tonight You're behind the wheel, tonight
Enjoy the silence
Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Enjoy the silence.
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there
Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus...
Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus...
Reach out and touch faith
Policy Of Truth
You had something to hide
Should have hidden it, shouldn't you
Now you're not satisfied
With what you're being put through
It's just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And deciding in your youth
On the policy of truth
Things could be so different now
It used to be so civilised
You will always wonder how
It could have been if you'd only lied
It's too late to change events
It's time to face the consequence
For delivering the proof
In the policy of truth
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Now you're standing there tongue tied
You'd better learn your lesson well
Hide what you have to hide
And tell what you have to tell
You'll see your problems multiplied
If you continually decide
To faithfully pursue
The policy of truth
Never again...
Let me take you on a trip
Around the world and back
And you won't have to move
You just sit still
Now let your mind do the walking
And let my body do the talking
Let me show you the world in my eyes
I'll take you to the highest mountain
To the depths of the deepest sea
We won't need a map, believe me
Now let my body do the moving
And let my hands do the soothing
Let me show you the world in my eyes
That's all there is
Nothing more than you can feel now
That's all there is
Let me put you on a ship
On a long, long trip
Your lips close to my lips
All the islands in the ocean
All the heaven's in the motion
Let me show you the world in my eyes
That's all there is
Nothing more than you can touch now
That's all there is
Let me show you the world in my eyes
"Songs of Faith and Devotion" (1993)
I feel you
Your sun it shines
I feel you
Within my mind
You take me there
You take me where
The kingdom comes
You take me to
And lead me through Babylon
This is the morning of our love
It's just a dawning of our love
I feel you
Your heart it sings
I feel you
The joy it brings
Where heaven waits, those golden gates
And back again, you take me to
And lead me through oblivion
This is the morning of our love
It's just a dawning of our love
I feel you, your precious soul
And I am whole
I feel you, your rising sun
My kingdom comes
I feel you, each move you make
I feel you, each breath you take
Where angels sing, and spread their wings
My love's on high, you take me home
To glory's throne, by and by
This is the morning of our love
It's just a dawning of our love.
Walking in my shoes
I would tell you about the things
They put me through
The pain I've been subjected to
But the Lord himself would blush
The countless feasts laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
But i think your pulse would start to rush
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Morality would frown upon
Decency look down upon
The scapegoat fate's made of me
But promise now, my judge and jurors
My intentions couldn't have been purer
My case is easy to see
I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I've been through
And before we walk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble ...
Try walking in my shoes
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble ...
I'm going to take my time
I have all the time in the world
to make you mine
it is written in the stars above
the gods decree
you'll be right here by my side
right next to me
you can run, but you cannot hide
Don't say you want me
don't say you need me
don't say you love me
it's understood
don't say you're happy
out there without me
I know you can't be
'cause it's no good
I'll be fine
I'll be waiting patiently
till you see the signs
and come running to my open arms
when will you realise
do we have to wait till our worlds collide
open up your eyes
you can't turn back the tide
Don't say you want me
don't say you need me
don't say you love me
it's understood
don't say you're happy
out there without me
I know you can't be
'cause it's no good
I'm going to take my time
I have all the time in the world
to make you mine
it is written in the stars above.
Barrel of a Gun
Do you mean this horny creep
set upon weary feet
Who looks in need of sleep
that doesn't come
This twisted, tortured mess
This bed of sinfulness
who's longing for some rest
and feeling numb
What do you expect of me
What is it you want
Whatever you've planned for me
I'm not the one
A vicious appetite
visits me each night
and won't be satisfied
Won't be denied
An unbearable pain
A beating in my brain
that leaves the mark of cain
right here inside
What am I supposed to do
when everything that I've done
is leading me to conclude
I'm not the one
Whatever I've done
I've been staring down the barrel of a gun
Is there something you need from me
Are you having your fun
I never agreed to be
your holy one
Whatever I've done
I've been staring down the barrel of a gun
The handshake
Seals the contract
From the contract
There's no turning back
The turning point
Of a career
In Korea, being insincere
The holiday
Was fun packed
The contract:
Still intact
The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
All for themselves
After all
It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts
The graph
On the wall
Tells the story
Of it all
Picture it now
See just how
The lies and deceit
Gained a little more power
Confidence
Taken in
By a sun tan
And a grin
The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
All for themselves
After all
It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts
The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
Oh God, it's raining
But I'm not complaining
It's filling me up
With new life
The stars in the sky
Bring tears to my eyes
They're lighting my way
Tonight
And I haven't felt so alive
In years
Just for a day
On a day like today
I'll get away from this
Constant debauchery
The wind in my hair
Makes me so aware
How good it is to live
Tonight
And I haven't felt so alive
In years
The moon
Is shining in the sky
Reminding me
Of so many other nights
But they're not like tonight
Oh God, it's raining
And I'm not containing
My pleasure at being
So wet
Here on my own
All on my own
How good it feels to be alone
Tonight
And I haven't felt so alive
In years
The moon
Is shining in the sky
Reminding me
Of so many other nights
When my eyes have been so red
I've been mistaken for dead
But not tonight
