Want
I'm always
wanting more
Anything I
haven't got
Everything
I want it all
I just can't stop
Planning all my
days away
But never finding
ways to stay
Or ever feel
enough today
Tomorrow must be
more
Drink more dreams
more bed more drugs
More lust more
lies more head more love
More fear more
fun more pain more flesh
More stars more
smiles more fame more sex
But however hard
I want
I know deep down
inside
I'll never really
get more hope
Or any more time
Any more time
Any more time
Any more time
I want the sky to
fall in
I want lightning
and thunder
I want blood
instead of rain
I want the world
to make me wonder
I want to walk on
water
Take a trip to
the moon
Give me all this
and give me it soon
More drink more
dreams more drugs
More lust more
lies more love
But however hard
I want
I know deep down
inside
I'll never really
get more hope
Or any more time
Any more time
Any more time
Any more time
I'm looking to
have some fun
Some kind of
trigger-happy intercourse
"Club
America salutes you" says the girl on the door
"We accept
all major lies
We love any kind
of fraud
So go on in and
enjoy...
Go on in and
enjoy!!!"
I'm buying for my
bright new friends
Blue Suzannes all
round
And my mood is
heavily pregnant...
Yeah you're right
I couldn’t help
but notice your icy blue eyes
They've been
burning two holes in the sides of my head
Since the second
I arrived
And it's not too
hard to guess from your stick-on stars
And your canary
feather dress
Your hair in such
a carefully careless mess
That you're really
trying very hard to impress
You're such a
wonderful person living a fabulous life
Sensational
dazzling perfectly sized
Such a wonderful
person living a fabulous life
Sharing it with
me in Club America tonight...
So we talk for a
while about some band you saw on TV
But I don't
listen to you and you don't listen to me
Yeah it's an old
routine but it's a very special part of the game
And you don't
really care what I call you at all
When I can't
quite remember your name
And it's not too hard
to guess from your stick-on stars
And your canary
feather dress
The way you're so
carefully couldn't care less
That you're
really trying very hard to impress
You're such a
wonderful person living a fabulous life
Sensational
dazzling perfectly sized
Such a wonderful
person living a fabulous life
Sharing it with
me tonight
Yeah you're a
wonderful person living a fabulous life
Fantastic divine
and thrillingly bright
Such a wonderful
person living a fabulous life
With me in Club
America tonight...
I've never been
sure
The part we play
The way we are
How each of us
denies any other way in the world
Why each of us
must choose
I've never
understood
One special
friend
One true love
Why each of us
must lose everyone else in the world
However unsure
However unwise
Day after day
play out our lives
However confused
Pretending to
know to the end
But this isn't
truth this isn't right
This isn't love
this isn't life this isn't real
This is a lie
How each of us
believes
I've never really
known
In heaven unseen
and hell unknown
How each of us
dreams to understand anything at all
Why each of us
decides
I've never been
sure
The part we take
The way we are
Why each of us
denies every other way in the world
However unsure
However unwise
Day after day
play out our lives
However confused
Pretending to
know to the end
But this isn't
truth this isn't right
This isn't love
this isn't life this isn't real
This is a lie
This isn't truth
this isn't right
This isn't love this
isn't life this isn't real
This is a lie
"Two chord
cool in the head" she sings
"A-buzz
a-buzz a-buzzing like them killer bees..."
Tell me this is
not for real
Please tell me
this is not for real...
From time to time
her eyes get wide
And she's always
got them stuck on me
I'm surprised at
how hot honey-coloured and hungry she looks
And I have to
turn away to keep from bursting
Yeah I feel that
good!
She slips from
the stage
A foot no more
But it seems to
take an hour for her to reach the floor
And the two chord
cool still grooves
As she slides
towards me smooth as a snake
I can't swallow I
just start to shake
And I just know
this is a big mistake
Yeah but it feels
good!
Do it to me! Do it
to me! Do it to me! Do it to me!
Do it to me! Do
it to me! Do it to me!
"If you want
I can take you on another kind of ride..."
"Believe me
I would but..."
Deep inside the
'but' is 'please'
I am yearning for
another taste
And my shaking is
'yes'
"You will be
all the things in the world you've never been
See all the
things in the world you've never seen
Dream all the
things in the world you've never dreamed..."
But I think I get
a bit confused...
Am I seducing or
being seduced?
Oh I know that
tomorrow I'll feel bad
But I really
couldn't care about that
She's grinning
singing spinning me round and round
Smiling as I
start to fall
Her face gets big
her face gets small
It's like tonight
I'm really not me at all
And it feels
good!
Do it to me! Do
it to me! Do it to me! Do it to me!
Do it to me! Do
it to me! Do it to me!
It feels good!
"Lost in
admiration - happy birthday - I'm forever yours - blossom"
Faded red inside
a tiny book of butterflies
I smiled surprised
at how when flickered through
The wings flew by
spelled out my name...
Six months went
by the summer lost
Obsessively the
letters dropped into my life
The same soft
blood smooth flowing hand
"Please try
to understand - I have to see you - have to feel you -
Tell you all the
ways I need you - yours forever in love..."
Strange
attraction spreads it's wings
It varies but the
smallest things
You never know
how anything will change
Strange
attraction spreads it's wings
And alters but
the smallest things
You never know
how anything will fade
The year grew old
incessantly she wrote to me
She'd started
smoking poetry!
I laughed in
recognition of a favourite phrase
She'd pulled me
in...
I answered her
A Christmas card
in sepia
Arranging when
and where
And how the two
of us should meet...
Her opening so
well prepared
A nervous smile
I couldn't take
my eyes from her
She whispered
"Can I use
some of your lipstick?"
It was perfect so
believable
I couldn't help
but feel that it was real
And kissing
crimson fell into her waiting arms...
Strange
attraction spreads it's wings
It varies but the
smallest things
You never know
how anything will change
Strange
attraction spreads it's wings
And alters but
the smallest things
You never know
how anything will fade
So alone into the
cold new year without another word from her
I wrote to ask if
we could maybe meet again before the spring
But weeks went by
with no reply until once more my birthday came
And with it my
surprise but this time nothing was the same...
"I'm sorry -
blame infatuation - blame imagination -
I was sure you’d
be the one but I was wrong -
It seems reality
destroys our dreams - I won't forget you - blossom"
Faded red inside
a tiny book of old goodbyes...
Strange
attraction spreads it's wings
It varies but the
smallest things
You never know
how anything will change
Strange
attraction spreads it's wings
And alters but
the smallest things
And you never
know...
I'm so happy I
could scream!
And there's
nowhere else in the world I'd rather be
Than here with
you
It's perfect
It's all I ever
wanted
I almost can't
believe that it's for real
I really don't
think it gets any better than this
Vanilla smile
And a gorgeous
strawberry kiss!
Birds sing we
swing
Clouds drift by
and everything is like a dream
It's everything I
wished
Never guessed it
got this good
Wondered if it
ever would
Really didn't
think it could
Do it again?
I know we
should!!!
The sun is up
I'm so fizzy I
could burst!
You wet through
and me headfirst
Into this is
perfect
It's all I ever
wanted
Ow! It feels so
big it almost hurts!
Never guessed it
got this good
Wondered if it
ever would
Really didn't
think it could
Do it some more?
I know we
should!!!
Say it will
always be like this
The two of us
together
It will always be
like this
Forever and ever
and ever...
Never guessed it
got this good
Wondered if it
ever would
Really didn't
think it could
Do it all the
time?
I know that we
should!!!
Slips to the sand
and stares up at me
"Is this how
it happens? Is this how it feels?
Is this how a
star falls?
Is this how a
star falls?"
The night turns
as I try to explain
Irresistable
attraction and orbital plane
"Or maybe it's
more like a moth to a flame?"
She brushes my
face with her smile
"Forget
about stars for a while..."
As she melts...
Meanwhile
millions of miles away in space
The incoming
comet brushes Jupiter's face
And disappears
away with barely a trace...
"Was that
it? Was that the Jupiter show?
It kinda wasn't
quite what I'd hoped for you know..."
And pulling away
she stands up slow
And round her the
night turns
Round her the
night turns...
Yeah that was it
That was the
Jupiter crash
Drawn too close
and gone in a flash
Just a few
bruises in the region of the splash...
She left to the
sound of the sea
She just drifted
away from me
So much for
gravity...
Trying so hard to
get a hold of everyone here
We've got to show
how much we love them all
We squeak with
idiot fake surprise
Flap our hands
and flutter our eyes
And lap up all
their stupid lies
We've got to love
them all
And I really
don't know why we do it like this
Imitation smiles
and how "It's wonderful to be here!"
I'm really not
sure what we're so scared we'll miss
So round and
round and round and round and round we go
Hanging on every
shape they throw
It's strange the
way we can't say no
Until we love
them all...
So we laugh at
every stupid joke
And smoke and
choke and point and poke
And gag on
countless lines...
How much we love
them all!
And I really
don't know why we do it like this
Imitation smiles
and how "It's wonderful to be here"
I'm really not sure
what we're so scared we'll miss
Maybe it's the
sex with the drugs and the fools
Or maybe it's the
promise of belief?
Maybe it's the
pleasure and the pain of the cruel
Or maybe it's the
promise of relief?
And I know that
we've said it so many times before
"Once more
and never again"
But however many
times that we've said it before
Once more is
never the end...
Wake up feeling
blue
And everything
that could be wrong is
Including you
Black clouds and
rain and pain in your head
And all you want
to do is stay in bed
But if you do
that you'll be missing the world
Because it
doesn't stop turning whatever you heard
If you do that
you'll be missing the world
You have to get
up get out and get gone!
Yeah you know how
it is
Wake up feeling
green
Sick as a dog and
six times as mean
You don't want to
sing you don't want to play
You don't want to
swing you don't want to sway
All you want to
do is nothing
On a day like
today
But if you do
that you'll be missing the world
Because it doesn't
stop turning whatever you heard
If you do that
you'll be missing the world
You have to get
up get out and get gone!
Yeah get up get
out and have some fun
You have to get
up get out and get gone!
Yeah get up get
out and get it on
Get up get out
and get gone!
You have to get
up get out and get living
Yeah this is
really it...
So you know how
it is
Wake up feeling
grey
Nothing much to
think and nothing much to say
Don't want to
talk don't want to try
Don't want to
think don't want to know
Who what where
when or why...
Oh but you do
that and you're missing the world
Yeah it's
happening right now whatever you heard
You do that and
you're missing the world
You have to get
up get out and get gone!
Yeah get up get
out and have some fun
You have to get up
get out and get gone!
Yeah get up get
out and get it on
Get up get out
and get gone!
You have to get
up get out and get living
Yeah this is
really it!
After all these
years
Tired of it all
Hopelessly
helplessly broken apart
He finally falls
He doesn't want
to think
Doesn't want to
feel
Doesn't want to
know what's going on
Says there's
nothing he can do will change anything
He doesn't want
to know what's going wrong
Because he's in
love with a drug
One that makes
him numb
One that stops
him feeling at all
He's in love with
a drug
Forget everyone
He really doesn't
care anymore
Anymore...
Yeah this is how
it ends
After all this
time
Everything just
fades away
Worn-out and
empty and all alone
With nothing left
to say
Oh it's all too
big to make a difference
It's all too
wrong to make it right
Yeah everything
is too unfair
Everything too
much to bear
He doesn't have
the strength left for the fight
Says all he wants
is the drug
The one that
makes him numb
The one that stops
him feeling at all
He just wants to
take the drug
Forget everyone
He doesn't want
to care anymore
Just keeps loving
the drug
The one that
makes him numb
The one that
stops him feeling at all
Just keeps loving
the drug
The drug that
he's become
He isn't really
here anymore...
And that makes me
cry
Oh you've thought
of it all!
Candlelight!
Coconut ice! And fur on the floor!
And I reeely love
the way you wear your hair
And nothing more
So tell me...
What is going on?
I was sure that
I'd already gone...
But all you say
is we're all spinning
It's really not
just me
But that doesn't
seem to help me figure out how I can be
A prisoner in PVC
a minute after three...
It didn't used to
be like this
Must be all that
sleep I missed...
Yeah but I really
love it here!
You've done
everything to please!
Stolichnaya! Banco de gaia! Bad
timing on TV!
And I reeely love
the way you turn
Your smile into
striptease...
But I'm still not
sure what's going on
And I can't help
feeling something's wrong
But you just say
that we're all spinning
And it's really
not just me
But that doesn't
seem to help me figure out how I can be
Still wrapped
inside your rubber as I wriggle at your feet...
No it didn't used
to be like this
Must be something
strange I kissed...
Maybe when my
eyes were closed?
So tell me what
is going on?
I'm sure that
I've already gone...
But all you say
is we're all spinning
And it's really
not just me
But that doesn't
seem to help me figure out how I can be
Still fixed inside
your fantasy
A TV refugee...
So tell me what
is going on?
Just can't help
feeling something's wrong...
Or is it right
this way I feel?
Someone get me
out of here!!!
I'm waiting on my
knees...
You drone about
being on the brink
But I really
don't care what you think
Oh I'm sick of it
all
Sick of it all
I hate the way
it's always the same
Hate
recrimination and blame
And you just wait
for me to fuck up again
Oh I'm sick of it
all
Sick of it all
The ways you try
and put me down
Sweet revenge for
the things I've done
The ways you try
and twist me around
"Give me a
taste of my own medicine"
Drowning like a
fly in my drink
You whine about
being out of synch
But I really
don't care what you think
Oh I'm sick of it
all
Sick of it all
I hate the way
you want me to be
Hate regret and
humility
And you just wait
for me to fall at your feet
Oh I'm sick of it
all
Sick of it all
The ways you try
and run me down
Make me pay for
the things I've been
The ways you try
and push me around
All you want to
do is win
Any love you once
felt for me
Has turned into
this travesty
Of selfishness
and jealousy
So why can't you
just let me go?
Any love you once
felt for me
Has turned into
this travesty
Of selfishness
and jealousy
So why can't I
just let you go?
"Please
remember me
When I am gone
from here"
She whispers
"Please
remember me
But not with
tears...
Remember I was
always true
Remember that I
always tried
Remember I loved
only you
Remember me and
smile...
For it's better
to forget
Than to remember
me
And cry"
"Remember I
was always true
Remember that I
always tried
Remember I loved
only you
Remember me and
smile...
For it's better
to forget
Than to remember
me
And cry..."
You'd better say
it now
Anything but
'stay'
Just say it now
We know we've
reached the end
We just don’t
know how
"Well at
least we'll still be friends"
Yeah one less
useless vow...
"There are
different ways to live"
Yeah I know that
stuff
"Other ways
to give"
Yeah all that
stuff
But holding onto
used to be
Is not enough
Memory's not life
And it's not love
We should let it
all go
It never stays
the same
So why does it
hurt me like this
When you say that
I've changed?
When you say that
I've aged?
Say I'm afraid...
And all the tears
you cry
They're not tears
for me
Regrets about
your life
They're not
regrets for me
It never turns
out how you want
Why can't you
see?
It all just slips
away
It always slips
away
Eventually...
So if you've got nothing
left to say
Just say goodbye
Turn your face
away
And say goodbye
You know we've
reached the end
You just don't
know why
And you know we
can't pretend
After all this
time
So just let it
all go
Nothing ever
stays the same
So why does it
hurt me like this
To say that I've
changed?
To say that I've
aged?
Say I'm afraid...
But there are
long long nights when I lay awake
And I think of
what I've done
Of how I've
thrown my sweetest dreams away
And what I've
really become
And however hard
I try
I will always
feel regret
However hard I
try
I will never
forget
I will never
forget
