I Can't Help
03:45
|
|||
In school they taught us to think
What they want us to believe
I’m coming out of that dream
Wake up
Thing aren’t what they seem
Wake up
And now that I see it
I feel like we’re losing the fight
Don’t know if we can make
It’s more than just black and white
It’s easy to mistake it
I’m tired of being polite
You know you just can’t fake it
Cause something went wrong …. It’s time we make it right
Maybe it’s true that we can’t help
Being the way that we are
I feel like a fool that lost himself
In a world that’s falling apart
Maybe it’s true that we can’t help
But someone’s got to try
We’re so busy thinking bout ourselves
That we’re never asking why
In this world today there’s
So much sadness
And sorrow
Stop waiting
For tomorrow
They taught us how to compete
See what you want and take it
A new kind of humanity
Only the strong will make it
The weak end up on the street
Is this a price worth payin
Something is wrong …. What will it take to make you see
(chorus)
So much sadness
And sorrow
Stop waiting
For tomorrow
No sadness
No sorrow
Stop waiting …. Without it
For tomorrow

Every Night
03:04
|
|||
Sneaking through the back door again
Started smoking cigarettes, to cover up the scent
Of her perfume
It’s 3 am and I am, working late but then
That’s just what I’m selling you, and you don’t understand
If you would just take the time
To talk to me, I know that we
Could work it out
If you would take the time
To talk to me, I wouldn’t see her every night
Every night
She talks to me
And says that we
Can’t work it out
Cause you won’t take the time
I think that she’s
Trying to hustle me
And I can’t make up my mind
This is killing me
But I guarantee
If you don’t open up your eyes
You might get left behind
I fear this all is coming to a head
At night I’m taking showers, before I come to bed
Cause her perfume
Is telling you the truth of all the lies I said
I know you’re scared to face it, but you don’t understand
And every night I’m telling her
I’m gonna leave, but I just don’t know
Cause I still remember how it used to be
But maybe that’s a memory of long ago
I’m… so… tired… I… need… to… go…
I’m so tired of going through the motions,
Something’s got to change or I’ve got to go
Cause we can’t live this way
No we can’t live this way
We can’t live this way
No we can’t
We can’t live this way

Last Time
03:11
|
|||
Can’t look myself in the mirror
Can’t stand the person that I see
I know it’s just a reflection, but it’s reflecting all the pain I caused
While you were crying and asking me
How could you do this,
how could you do this to me
Time and time I told you, I’m just so weak I can’t control myself
How could you do this…
Just let me explain
Before you walk out that door, don’t leave
Cause this could be the last time…
That we every talk, I’m sorry that it came to this
I know I said this last time
But she had something, I could not resist
Don’t let this be the last time
Cause without you I, just can’t exist
Time and time I told you, I don’t believe you can’t control yourself
Don’t let this be the last time
I see you’re packing your bags
Know it’s time for you to leave
Just thought that something I’d said could make some sense of this mess I made
How could I be so naive
How could you do this,
how could you do this to me
Time and time I told you, I’m just so weak I can’t control myself
How could you do this…
Cause this could be the last time…
That we every talk, I’m sorry that it came to this
I know I said this last time
But she had something, I could not resist
Don’t let this be the last time
Cause without you I, just can’t exist
Time and time I told you, I don’t believe you can’t control yourself
Don’t let this be the last time, could be the last time, just might be the last time
Why won’t you just hear me out
Cause I can’t take back the things that I’ve done
I’m not as strong as I appear and without
You I won’t be able to go on
I’m trying to make it clear don’t doubt
The meaning of the words
I’ve begun
When I said I’m sorry I swear
Sorry… I… moved… on…
I’ll never do this again
Just stop telling me that you’ve moved on

Blackbird
03:53
|
|||
They meet and he speaks
And fumbles some great pickup line
She claps and they laugh
He knows that everything is fine
She waits for his calls
Finds that they’re talking all the time
She knows what this means
And knows he won’t understand why
Why…why…why…?
He says “Why…why…why…?”
My mother, my father, my brother
Just wouldn’t understand
She said, my sister, my friends, my god
Say it ain’t in our plan
He says, your mother, your father they just
Just don’t understand this love
She says, it’s not them, it’s me
I can’t, can’t do this just because
This is not our time and place
It is just a simple fact
It is not the color of our skin
That holds us back
A blackbird and a goldfish
We could fall in love
But where would we build our home
In the sea or up above
He looks her up and down and says
What’s the difference between you and I
She said, look at me I can’t swim
I’m pretty damn sure you can’t fly
He spread his fins out and jumped to the sky
When he came crashing down
Landed flat on the ground
She frowned and said
That’s why…
What good is love…love
When it just brings pain…pain
What good is knowing what you want
When it’s just not sane…sane
What good is hope…hope
When it’s not meant to be…be
Maybe next time that we meet things will turn out differently

Lie To Me
03:39
|
|||
I'm writing so I might find
a place to vent or some piece of mind
there is something that I have to say
I've held the reigns for so long
the grip I had was too strong
and now I feel it slipping away
there is something that I must know
if you're leaving why don't you just go
damn... it wouldn't be so bad,
no it wouldn't be so bad
but would you lie to me
I know you would
if it would help you to sleep
a little easier at night
but would you lie to me
I know you wouldn't
just to hold me down
when somebody new is waiting for you outside
would you lie
it's been so long since we've touched
the time we had seemed so rushed
like there's somewhere you'd rather be
I wait by the phone but you never call
I wait all night, I get no sleep at all
do you think somehow I don't see
where you go, or what you do
I find out, I know the truth
it wouldn't be so bad,
if it wasn't for what we had
and if I need to explain this
I think you should go
there is something that I must know
if you're leaving why don't you just go
damn... it wouldn't be so bad,
no it wouldn't be so bad
but would you lie to me
I know you would
I know you wouldn't
just to hold me down
when somebody new is waiting for you outside
would you lie

In A Month
04:16
|
|||
Darling you’ll understand
I wanted so long
Only you know the reason why
I’ve got to be rambling on
I showed you my dreams
And you told me yours
But right now it seems
Our paths aren’t on the same course
Don’t just stand there and expect me to explain myself this time
Cause I’m not to blame
You know I got this plan in life and love ain’t getting in the way
This time so love… please wait
And I’ll see you in a month
And I’ll count every day
Every moment we’ve been apart
I’ve learned to love you again
It’s been forty some days now
That I’ve been away
Except for you not being with me now
Everything here is just great
I’m finding my dreams
Behind each opening door
And right now it seems
I won’t be back for a month
Don’t just stand there and expect me to explain myself this time
Cause I’m not to blame
You know I got this plan in life and love ain’t getting in the way
This time so love… please wait
And I’ll see you in a month
And I’ll count every day
Every moment we’ve been apart
I’ve learned to love you again
I know I just stayed there and expected you to wait
But in time you got on that plane
And now my only joy in life is knowing that I’ll see you again
In the next life so love… please wait
Cause the doctors say
I’ll see you in a month
And I’m counting every day
Cause every moment we’ve been apart
I’ve learned to love you again

She Don't Know
03:53
|
|||
you won’t listen to me
because you thought… and so you walk
and so you walk away
you won’t even trust me
cause you listen to… and believe it’s true
in every word they say
if you won’t listen to me now
well then I’ll just walk out… because you thought
you’re thinking with you head
if you thought with your heart, than you’d see
that I’m still here
but the woman don’t understand
the woman don’t understand
the woman don’t understand
me at all
she thinks she’s under attack
says you push I react
but she don’t understand
that she’s beautiful
No one asked me
If I remember to call you
No one asked me
If I wanted to try
Never asked me
If I was with her (last night)
It was just preconceived
In your paranoid mind
And she don’t know
What she’s losing
It’s me
Today I woke up crying
Cause I was alone… picked up the phone
Just to hear you say
I guess that you were smiling
Cause you lost the dead… weight that your friends
Said I turned out to be
if you won’t listen to me now
well then I’ll just hang up… because you thought
you’re thinking with you head
if you thought with your heart, than you’d see
that I’m still here
but the woman don’t understand

I'm Not Right
03:20
|

“I’m Not Right”
Ward 7 section number 4 behind a barbed wire fence and 2 brick walls
I sit here thinking, about something they said the night before
Before they left the room and they locked the door
They said, “you’re grieving, we can surely see”
“cause you’ve been crying inside, and you just won’t let this be”
“when something’s gone you’ve got to leave it behind”
But that’s the burden of a healthy mind, and I’m not right,
no I’m not, not, no I’m not right at all
I know it sounds crazy but I can’t let you go, no, no
I can’t let you go, cause I know that you are still alive somewhere
I’ve heard you whispering, the voice in my head
Keeps telling me, but no one seems to care
They just want to medicate me
I’ve been telling them what they want to hear
I even cry sometimes, so it looks sincere
Truth is they drug me and I’m just not thinking clear
When I try to leave they always interfere
Don’t understand that I have ESP
I’ve been reading their minds and know exactly what they plan to do to me
“you know she’s gone, you’ve got to leave here behind”
But that’s the burden of a healthy mind, and I’m not right,
no I’m not, not, no I’m not right at all
I know it sounds crazy but I can’t let you go, no, no
I can’t let you go, cause I know that you are still alive somewhere
I’ve heard you whispering, the voice in my head
Keeps telling me, but no one seems to care
They just want to medicate me
They just want to…
I see the crime and the scene unfold
I feel the gun but the barrel’s cold
Can't Shake off this vertigo
I'm doomed to watch what I can't control
Her eyes turn red and begin to glow
It's like I'm watching everything in slow mo
This is all beyond my control, but ordinarily...
What she's thinking I could let you know
But the fog rolls in and begins to grow
I'm waking up, and I'm shouting no
Now they’re pumping thorazine in my IV
They said they're waking me up cause I'd been
screaming in my dreams again
“You know she’s gone, you’ve got to leave her behind”
If that’s the burden of a healthy mind than I’m not right,
no I’m not, not, no I’m not right at all
I know it sounds crazy but I can’t let you go, no, no
I can’t let you go, cause I know that you are still alive somewhere
I’ve heard you whispering, the voice in my head
Keeps telling me, but no one seems to care
They just want to medicate me
They just want to…

Blood
03:45
|
|||
I’m standing with this gun in my hand
Looking around for some place to run
I’m staring in a selfish trance
Oh god, what have I done
Well I’ve been searching in myself
What is done I just can't help
I know they’ll never understand
I can't see how this gun got in my hand
This is the hand, I was dealt and
I am doing the best I can
I didn’t kill that man, though I’m standing
In a pool of his blood
Please help me here, please god
Help me, and get me out of this hole that I’ve dug
Or someone help me cover it up
I’m searching his house for plastic bags
I need a mop to help and stop this flood
Cleaning it up with paper towels and rags
How can one head make so much blood
Well I’ve been searching in myself
What is done I just can't help
I know they’ll never understand
I can't see how this gun got in my hand
This is the hand, I was dealt and
I am doing the best I can
I didn’t kill that man, though I’m standing
In a pool of his blood
Please help me here, please god
Help me, and get me out of this hole that I’ve dug
Or someone help me cover it up
You plan to make your escape
You'll run when you're sure it's safe
Cause you know
They watch to see who goes first
No time left to hesitate
Got to leave this all up to fate
Just go
And do it right under their nose
You try to escape
But you can't get away
You panic and wait
When you think someone might know
Still you try to escape
But you can't get away
Cause the hand of fate
Isn't under your control
This is the hand, I was dealt and
I am doing the best I can
I didn’t kill that man, though I’m standing
In a pool of his blood
Please help me here, please god
Help me, and get me out of this hole that I’ve dug
Or someone help me cover it up

Ain't It Strange
03:06
|
|||
Ain’t it strange, That you can love someone for so long and never know a thing
People change, But I never imagined that you were ever gonna be this way
You say, You gotta get away from me
I guess that you’re believing all the lies you’re telling to your friends
I don’t want to hold you back my dear
Better make up your mind if you’re gonna stay
You don’t know much about me
No you don’t, if you believe that
You don’t know much about love
No you don’t, you’ve been deceived girl
You don’t know much about me
No you don’t,
And you can try to find another man who loves you like I do but you won’t
No you won’t you’ve been deceived girl
I’m ashamed, That this has gone on for so long and I never said a thing
But I guess I’m to blame, For letting you think that you had me dangling from a string
You say, you’re never gonna leave again
And I don’t want to think it girl, but you’ve been saying to your friends
I don’t want to be the last one here
Better make up your mind if you’re gonna stay
You don’t know much about me
No you don’t, if you believe that
You don’t know much about love
No you don’t, you’ve been deceived girl
You don’t know much about me
No you don’t,
And you can try to find another man who loves you like I do but you won’t
No you won’t you’ve been deceived girl
I feel like we have grown…apart
I can’t be your stepping stone… and you can’t disreguard, me at all
What I’m trying to explain, is that I know what I want
And it ain’t you babe, so go on walk out that door
Ain’t it strange that I tried to hold this together for so long
And never noticed that
I was just scared of change, and now that you see I moved on I hear you want me back
You say that you made a mistake again,
I guess it’s hard to lie alone in bed and know that you were wrong
Well I can’t let you hold me back my dear,
Should have made up your mind before you went away
You don’t know much about me
No you don’t, if you believe that
You don’t know much about love
No you don’t, you’ve been deceived girl
You don’t know much about me
No you don’t,
And you can try to find another man who loves you like I do but you won’t
No you won’t you’ve been deceived girl

Cold
02:32
|

cold
I don’t want to breath no more, I don’t want to live
I don’t want to cry no more, I have no more tears to give
The way you made me feel I know, I’ll never feel again
To know I’ll never hear your voice,
Is tragic, I’m numb, I can’t feel a thing but I’m…
Cold... This world is
Cold... And it isn’t
Safe... To walk out
Alone... I feel so
Alone... and I get so
Scared... With out your
Touch... I need it so
Much... I just can’t
Stand... To know that your
Gone... I can’t believe you’re
Gone... It’s so unfair
Can’t grieve, I’m void… of feeling, That’s the way I choose to live
A loss with no good reason, And that’s what I can’t forgive
The way you made me feel I know, I’ll never feel again
To know I’ll never hear your voice,
Is tragic, I’m numb, I can’t feel a thing but I’m…
Everybody here just moves on, but
You’re not here so why won’t you just go
Everybody here just moves on, but
Even when you’re here you’re so damn cold
Everybody here just moves on, but
Years have passed this game is getting old
Everybody here just moves on, but
Now it’s time so walk on down that road
Leave
Cold, this world is, Cold, this world is….this world so
Cold, this world is…

Look Me in the Eye
05:52
|
|||
They told me as a child
Better to give than receive
You’ve thrown away everything I gave to you
And I don’t know what to believe
I can’t decide, if living
Is worth all the life, it’s taking
I thought suicide, was making
Me feel alright…
I need your sympathy…
No you…
Never said you were leaving home
Had to hear it from you on the telephone
I can’t believe this is happening to me now
You’re talking to me like you’re made of stone
But you’re looking around like something’s wrong
If you got nothing to hide
Why can’t you look me in the eye
I must confess
I think I knew it all along
My eyes were trying to keep from me
What my heart knew was wrong
It was hard to realize, you were leaving
And no compromise, was keeping
You by my side, I’m pleading
But you made up your mind
And never told me
Never said you were leaving home
Had to hear it from you on the telephone
I can’t believe this is happening to me now
You’re talking to me like you’re made of stone
But you’re looking around like something’s wrong
If you got nothing to hide
Why can’t you look me in the eye
Why all the lies, and deceiving
Give me a good reason why, you didn’t leave when
You new it was time
Time’s what I regret
All the wasted time I spent, waiting for you
Did it cross your mind
Do you regret
Saying I was meant for you
Never said you were leaving home
Had to hear it from you on the telephone
I can’t believe this is happening to me now
You’re talking to me like you’re made of stone
But you’re looking around like something’s wrong
If you got nothing to hide
Why can’t you look me in the eye

supermarket while you shop for melons. Chances are, at some point, it was us! Well, at least if you are in a European supermarket. Our songs have been played millions of times in stores throughout the world, but sadly we haven’t had any luck breaking into the cut throat supermarket game in the US.
