"The Strangest Thing 97"

Take My Life
Time has been twisting the knife
I don't recognise
People i care for

Take my dreams
Childish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyse
Please just be there for me

The things that i know
Nobody told me
The seeds that are sown
They still control me
There's a liar in my head
There's a thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing
Is i cannot get my eyes open

Take my hand
Lead me to some peaceful land
That i cannot find
Inside my head

Wake me with love
It's all i need
But in all this time
Still no one said...

If i had not asked
Would you have told me
If you call this love
Why don't you hold me

There's a liar in my head
There's a thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing
Is i cannot get my eyes open

Give me something i can hold
Give me something to believe in
I am frightened for my soul, please, please
Make love to me, send love through me
Heal me with your crime
The only one who ever knew me,
We've wasted so much time
So much time

"Fantasy"

One Day You Say You Love Me
The next you tell me you don't
One day you say you will
The next you tell me you won't
Hey little baby, there ain't much point in hanging around, yeah

One day you make me feel that your love is in my hands
One day you say you'll stay
The next you're changing your plans
Hey little baby, there ain't much point in hanging around, yeah

'Cos if you ain't got time for me
I'll rind another fantasy

It's kind of funny that you think
That i'm the boy to make you cry
I can make you happy if only for a while, little baby
Oh little baby, i can give you all the loving that your heart desires

'Cos if you ain't got time for me
I'll find another fantasy

I said it could be the price of love
Could be the price of hate
What am i guilty of?
Why do you make me wait so long?
I don't know your intentions
Look to the skies above
I'm in the hands of fate
Push 'til it gets to shove
I've got to know for heavens sake is this love, is this love or invention

'Cos baby can't you see
I'll find another fantasy

You hang around the people who you are sure make you cry
And i can make you happy if only for a while, little baby
Oh little baby, i can give you all the loving that your heart desires

If only for a while little baby
Oh little baby, i can give you all the loving that your heart desires

'Cos if you ain't got time for me
I'll find another fantasy

You take someone's heart and you kick it around
Keep on picking it up so you can watch it come down
I don't know what i'm supposed to do
Why i wait fur you to make up your mind
Could you please be so kind
When you know what to do
I'll be in the next room
But if you leave it too late i may be in the next state

"I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)"
(feat. Aretha Franklin)

Like a warrior that fights
And wins the battle
I know the taste of victory
Though i went through some nights
Consumed by the shadows
I was crippled emotionally
Somehow i made it through the heartache
Yes i did. I escaped.
I found my way out of the darkness
I kept my faith (i know you did), kept my faith

When the river was deep i didn't falter
When the mountain was high i still believed
When the valley was !ow it didn't stop me, no no
I knew you were waiting. I knew you were waiting for me

With an endless desire i kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet
Like the bridge is on fire
The hurt is over, one touch and you set me free
I don't regret a single moment, no i don't looking hack
When i think of all those disappointments
I just laugh (i know you do), i just laugh

When the river was deep i didn't fairer
When the mountain was high i still believed
When the valley was low it didn't stop me
I knew you were waiting. I knew you were waiting for me

So we were drawn together through destiny
I know this love we snared was meant to be
I knew you were waiting, knew you were waiting
I knew you were waiting , knew you were waiting for me

"Roxanne"

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night

Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

I loved you since i knew you
I wouldn't talk down to you
I have to tell you just how i feel
I won't share you with another boy
I know my mind is made up
So put away your make up
Told you once i won't tell you again
It's a bad way

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

"You've Changed"

You've Changed
That sparkle in your eyes has gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
You're breaking my heart, you've changed

You've changed
Your kisses are now so blase
You're bored with me in every way
I can't understand you've changed

You've forgotten the word i love you
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realise you ever cared

You've changed
You're not the anges i once knew
No need to tell me that we're through
It's all over now, you've changed

You've forgotten the word i love you
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realise you ever cared

You've changed
You're not the anges i once knew
No need to tell me that we're through
It's all over now, you've changed
I miss you

"My Baby Just Cares For Me"

My Baby Don't Care For Shows
My baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me

My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for high tone places

Elizabeth taylor is not his style
And even ricky martin's smile
Is something he can't see
My baby don't care who knows it
My baby just cares for me

I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for
He just says his prayers for
My baby just cares
For me

"Miss Sarajevo"

Is There A Time For Keeping A Distance
A time to turn your eyes away
Is there a time for keeping your head down
For getting on with your day

Is there a time for kohl and lipstick
A time for cutting hair
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear

Here she comes
Heads turn around
Here she comes
To take her crown

Is there a time to walk for cover
A time for kiss and tell
Is there a time for different colors
Different names you find it hard to spell

Is there a time for first communion
A time for east 17
Is there a time to turn the mecca
Is there a time to be a beauty queen

Here she comes
Beauty plays the crown
Here she comes
Surreal in her crown

[Pavarotti:]
Dici che il fiume
Trova la via al mare
E come il fiume
Giungerai a me
Oltre i confini
E le terre assetate
Dici che come fiume
Come fiume
L'amore giunger
L'amore
E non so pi pregare
E nell'amore non so pi sperare
E quell'amore non so pi aspettare

[English translation:]

You say that the river
Finds the way to the sea
And as the river
You'll come to me
Beyond the borders
And the thirsty lands
You say that as river
As river
Love will come
Love
And i cannot pray anymore
And i cannot hope in love anymore
And i cannot wait for love anymore

[Bono:]
Is there a time for tying ribbons
A time for christmas trees
Is there a time for laying tables
When the night is set to freeze

"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and endless skies, my love
To the dark and empty skies

The first time ever i kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command

The first time i ever lay with you]
And felt you heart so close to mine
And i knew our joy would fill the world
And would last till the and of time, my love
It would last till the end of time
The first time ever i saw your face
Your face, your face

"I Remember You"

I Remember You
You're the one who made my dreams come true
A few kisses ago

I remember you
You're the one who said i love you too
Didn't you know

I remember too
A distant bell
And stars that fell
Like rain out of the blue

When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all
Then i will tell them i remember you

I remember you
You're the one who made my dreams come true
A few kisses ago

I remember you
You're the one who said i love you too
Didn't you know

I remember too
A distant bell
And stars that fell
Like rain out of the blue
I miss you darling

When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all
Then i will tell them i remember you

"Secret Love"

Once I Had A Secret Love
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love
Became impatient to be free

So i told a friendly star
The way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are
And why i'm so in love with you

Now i shout it from the highest hill
I even told you the golden dafodill
At least my heart's an open door
And my secret love's no secret anymore

Now i shout it from the highest hill
I even told you the golden dafodill
At least my heart's an open door
And my secret love's no secret
My secret love's no secret
My secret love's no secret anymore
