It Wasn't Me

an you tell me how you feel
When you turn on your tv
When you see me singing through my tears
I've saved up all these years
Can you tell me what you see
When you read the magazines
Do you see yourself in me
When you read the magazines
When the DJ plays this song
Can you tell me what you hear

And I hope feel the way we felt
When you put us all through hell
Can you tell me how you feel now
How do you feel, how do you feel
Tell me how you sleep at night
Do you take those pills like me
Or do you toss and turn and lay your head on the pillow
and fall asleep cause you just don't care, how do you feel

And now I'm in your face
And you feel that empty space
Why did we how did we come to fall from grace
Falling, falling
Didn't you just hear us calling out
No there's nothing left to say
Cause you shouldn't have stayed away
No man leaves his flesh and blood this way

And I hope feel the way we felt
When you put us all through hell
Can you tell me how you feel now
How do you feel, how do you feel
Tell me how you sleep at night
Do you take those pills like me
Or do you toss and turn and lay your head on the pillow
and fall asleep cause you just don't care, how do you feel

It took a crowd for me to see
That it really wasn't me
The swaying crowd is the cleansing rain
It took the pain away
And I hope you'll find yourself alone
In a million dollar home
You will be stuck
With a heart like a rock
I hope your run out of luck fool
How do you feel now
Does it hurt, does it hurt
How do you feel now
I'm just wonderin' how it feels

Cry

All you ever do is
Letting it all just pass you by
No need to try
All you ever say is
Baby it's alright now

All you ever do is
Letting the hurt crawl up inside
No need to cry
All you ever say is
Baby, I feel just fine

What do you think of me
Don't you think I see
That you're just hiding from me
What do you think of me
Don't you think I see
That you're just lying to me
Do you think I'm blind sucker

Open up your eyes
You've got to learn to cry
Baby it's alright baby
Open up your eyes, open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
You've got to learn to cry
Maybe you'll feel just fine

All I ever do is
Waitin' for you tell me why
You never try
All I ever say is
Could you tell me why

All I ever do is
Hoping that you will tell me why
You never cry
All I ever say is
Baby it's alright, it's alright for you to cry

What do you think of me
Don't you think I see
That you're just hiding from me
What do you think of me
Don't you think I see
That you're just lying to me
Do you think I'm blind sucker

Open up your eyes
You've got to learn to cry
Baby it's alright alright
Open up your eyes, open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
You've got to learn to cry
Maybe you'll feel just fine

Body Brain

Well you know I've got this problem
'Cause there is you
No matter how I try to tell you just can't see
Oh no, I won't get through

You've got a body and a brain

Instead of pointing to another
Take a look at yourself
Why don't you just use that thing inside your head
And try to tell me why

You've got a body and a brain
You're free to speak, could you explain
The reason for your narrow mind
You're thinking medieval times
Your ignorance just gets you scared
Of everything and I don't know
Which way the wind is blowing
Hoping it will blow your fears away

I'm sure I'll never solve this problem
But I hope you will
I'll speak my mind and tell you time and time again
Though I won't get through

You've got a body and a brain
You're free to speak, could you explain
The reason for your narrow mind
You're thinking medieval times
Your ignorance just gets you scared
Of everything and I don't know
Which way the wind is blowing
Hoping it will blow your fears away
Blow your fears away

Time and time and time and time again
But I can't get through baby
Let me explain

You've got a body and a brain
You're free to speak, could you explain
The reason for your narrow mind
You're thinking medieval times
Your ignorance just gets you scared
Of everything and I don't know
Which way the wind is blowing
Hoping it will blow your fears away

My Friend

What's the matter my friend
Can you tell me why
You say there's nothing on your mind
Please stop telling me lies

As long as you're lying
I can't ease your mind

No sense in hiding
It's all in your eyes
No need to hide
You can't tell me lies
No sense in hiding
It's all in your eyes

Cause I ain't happy man
Until I see you smile
Until I see the spark back in your eyes
And I can tell you why

As long as you're smiling
I'll hit a high

No sense in hiding
It;s all in your eyes
No need to hide
You can't tell me lies
No sense in hiding
It's all in your eyes

What's the matter baby
What's the matter baby
What's the matter now
Cause I ain't happy
Unless I see you smile
Unless I see you smile

What's the matter man
What's the matter baby
What's the matter now
Cause I ain't happy
Unless I see you smile
Unless I see you smile
What's the matter man
What's the matter baby

Too Long

You ask me what is on my mind
You notice there's a change
There's something different
Different in the way I look at you today
You see I have been alone for so long baby
Now I cannot explain

I must be completely out of my mind
To ever take the chance
I ain't got no trouble still I worry
That I might have to lose you
See I've been alone for so long baby

[chorus]
Now I cannot explain, I've been alone for so long
I took the chance to lose you
No I must be insane, I've been alone for so long
I'm not gonna lose you

I never ever really tried
I never had the strength
But now I got you, I got you by my side
I'm gonna make this work
You see I've been alone for so long baby

[chorus]

All the things I've done when I was alone I can't understand myself
It's amazing, you amaze me
But my life begins with the song I sing and the love you bring to me
It's amazing, you amaze me

Everything

Now I believe that what I used to think was a lie is really alive
Now I can see there's only one place to reach
Only one thing to preach and that's the highest
It's the strangest thing that I can feel so much

There is no reason, there is no logic to feelings
'Cause when love is the dealer I'm addicted
So fascinated, I can't stop this constant craving
You're contagious
It's the strangest thing that I can feel so much
For someone, somehow

[Chorus]
And I cannot hide, even if I try
You mean everything to me
Any fool can see, what you've done to me
You mean everyhing to me
And when you're not her, I jsut cry
And when you're not here, I could die

The best is still to come dear
The best is still to come for us

It's the strangest thing that I can feel so much
For someone, somehow

[chorus]

Hail

They say that sometimes
You've got to pick up your arms and fight
For what you believe is right

Some say
That's just not the way
You will only make things worse

So I close my eyes and turn my head away
And I hope it'll be alright
Fall into a restless sleep
While so many innocent die
That's why I sing

[Chorus]
Hail to all of us
Hail to all of us down here

Maybe someday soon
When we've thought things over
We'll know what to do
But probably
There's a much bigger chance, you see
That it will all be gone

So I close my eyes and turn my head away
And I just hope it'll be alright
Fall into restless sleep
While so many others die
That's why I sing

[chorus]

New York City, London, Jericho
Jerusalem, Sydney, anywhere you wanna go
Capetown, to the moon and back again

[chorus]

Who Cares

Did you ever wake up in the morning
With a freight-train running through your head
An empty whiskey bottle by your pillow
And a burned out unfinished cigarette
The night went up in smoke
Life is but a joke man
But I see nobody laughing

Did you ever live a day
Like the next day would never come
Blood's dripping on the floor, but who cares
Who needs you anyway
You're a stranger to yourself
And this ain't no joke man
But I can't stop laughing

[chorus]
Greedy, angry people make me
Run around in circles backwards
Down the lonely road that keeps me
Run around in circles

How I want to try again
Excuse me can you lead me
I just want to try again
Excuse me can you lead the way

Just take me by the hand
How I want to

Did you ever find yourself drowning
In a dark and crowded bar
The barman keeps on pouring and you're kissing everyone
The night will never end
'Cause my horse is still saddled up
That's why I am still laughing

[chorus]

Graduated Fool

Graduated fool, that is what I am
For every time I failed you
You're so beautiful, I just turned and walked away

I jingle with words, tangle my tongue
Stammering stutters
So I wrote you this song, to finally tell you
What you've known all along, I love you
Believe in me, believe me

It was true devotion, now these mixed emotions
Oh, I did it again
I want you to forgive me, when the pain has faded
We'll be laughing again
Believe in me

Graduated fool, I'm better than I am
For that is what you made me
Please, hold back your tears
I didn't deserve you anyway
Believe in me, I still care for you, believe me
Just believe in me, believe me

When I kiss your face again, all these mixed emotions
Of pleasure and pain
I want you to forgive me, when the pain has faded
We'll be laughing again

Believe in me, you're so beautiful, believe me
Just believe in me, believe me

Stop Thinking

Lately I've been feeling down
I don't get around much anymore
So I just spend my time alone
Waiting for the phone to ring
I keep thinking of you

I miss the language that we speak
When we don't even talk
And everytime I see you smile
You make it all worthwhile
I keep thinking of you

[Chorus]
I never loved someone like this before
Keep staring at your picture while I try to
Work my way around you
But nothing's any good
'Cause I keep thinking of you

You never told me I would feel
Lonely without you
You're not supposed to make me cry
You said: don't worry I am yours
And I a while you were gonna call me
Well it's been six hours now
I keep thinking of you

[chorus]
