CAN'T MAKE ME HATE YOU

There's no need to shout it out
I can't make it go away
You're spinning on the spot
You've been like this for days
And your mind is shattered light
A glass of cheap champagne
The traffic flows outside
Like the morphene through your veins

And you can scream my name
You can pound the floor
You can treat me like some downtown whore
You can slap my face till i'm black and blue
But whatever you say
You can't make me hate you

When the neighbours start to call
I'll just say you're not around
You crawled under your bed
Now you're nowhere to be found
And it's true that I forget
Just who you really are
But there's no turning back
Now that i've come this far

And you can scream my name
You can pound the floor
You can treat me like some downtown whore
You can slap my face till i'm black and blue
But whatever you say
You can't make me hate you

Ohhh, you can scream my name
You can pound the floor
You can treat me like some downtown whore
You can slap my face till i'm black and blue
But whatever you say
You can't make me hate you

(Scream my name) You can't make me
(Pound the floor) Hate you
(Treat me like some downtown whore) No No No
(Slap my face till i'm black and blue) But whatever you say, You can't make me hate you

You can't make me hate you
Ohh no

MAKE BELIEVE

colour fades away, slowly swirling down the drain
you're bitter and you're tired of waiting
someone's banging down the door
but you've heard it all before
nothing they could say would change things

the chemicals of love you can smell it in the air
blissfully derranged and screaming.....

don't come crawling to me
i'm living in a world of make believe
i'm all that i wanna be
im living in a world of make believe
and im not coming home

alcoholic fumes carpet stains and empty rooms
talking to your own reflection
and someone you don't know
says it's time for you to go
they say it's for your own protection

the residue of love you can taste it everywhere
hoplessly estranged and pleading......

don't come crawling to me
i'm living in a world of make believe
i'm all that i wanna be
i'm living in a world of make believe
and im not coming home
i'm not coming home
i'm not coming home
i'm not coming home

color fades away slowly swirling down the drain
you're bitter and you're tired of waiting
someones banging down the door
but youve heard it all before
never go away

chemicals of love you can smell it in the air
blissfully derranged and screaming........

don't come crawling to me
i'm living in a world of make believe
i'm all that i wanna be
i'm living in a world of make believe
i'm all that i wanna be
i'm living in a world of make believe
and i'm not coming home
so just leave me alone.

MANNEQUIN BALL

She lived on the seventeenth floor
Above an acessory store
She'd watch the sun rise and then fall
And dress for the mannequin ball
For every night at twelve o'clock
A father would close up his shop
And visit his only true love
They'd dance all the night

Chorus:
And he looked to her eyes
Of porcelain ice
And told her that he had to go
Over the moon light
Where your dreams can't be sold
And you never grow old

And after her love disappeared
The mannequin waited for years
She stood by the window alone
And wished for her love to come home
And although he never returned
No matter how long that she yearned
She could still hear him whisper her name
She danced all the same

Chorus x 2

She was left all alone
Looking for love
Spent her time counting the stars

Chorus

And the whole world will fall
For the manneqiun ball...

ORDINARY GUY

the street lights could make me cry
and so could your empty eyes
i couldn't help you if you fell down
in this one suburban town

im not strong enought to be your saviour
i can t take you that high
im just an ordinary guy
im not brave enough to be your hero
i've got nothing to hide
im just an ordinary guy like you
like you

there's nothing that you dont know
theres nowhere else left to go
sorry to tell you the sad truth is
theres nothing more than this

im not strong enough to be your saviour
i cant take you that high
im just an ordianry guy
im not brave enough to be your hero
i've got nothing to hide
im just an ordinary guy like.......
you and your friends
and the man in the paper
the lady who drinks
cuz her husband still hits her
a checkout chick
with great aspiration
or ordinary girls and ordinary guys
like you
like you

im not strong enough to be your saviour
i cant take you that high
im just an ordinary guy
im not brave enough to be your hero
i've got nothing to hide
im just an ordinary guy
im not strong enough to be your saviour
i cant take you that high
im just an ordinary guy like you
just like you
im just an ordinary guy

STUPID FRIDAY

Sunlight woke you up at ten
Midnight passed you by again
But you're still the same
And the years seem to fly like time
You've been walking the white line
But you want to change

So long I love you dearly
I've got to go away tonight
I don't know quite what to say
Stupid Friday
And now all my words are gone
I've swallowed every single one
Didn't have to be this way
Stupid Friday

No more speaking from the heart
No more hiding from the past
Gonna go home
Pretty boy don't think you're so tough
Pretty boy not pretty enough
Now you've gone too far

So long I love you dearly
I've got to go away tonight
I don't know what words to say
Stupid Friday
And now all my words are gone
I've swallowed every single one
Didn't have to be this way
Stupid Friday

It's the only way
That you learn to live
We can only pray

So long I love you dearly
I've got to go away tonight
I don't know what words to say
Stupid Friday
And now all my words are gone
I've swallowed every single one
Didn't have to be this way
Stupid Friday

SUBSEQUENTLY SAD

Just say what you wanna say
Turn around and walk away
And i'll just stand here wondering why
We can't give it one more try
No more shelter from the storm
No more faith to keep me warm
You were standing in the rain
But it doesnt't't feel the same
You know i can't live this way
I lost the best thing that i had
And i am subsequently sad
All the good times and the bad
I still don't know who i am
Subsequently sad
Sometimes wonder why we're here
Fall in love then disappear
Blood is red your eyes are blue
I need both to get me through
So kiss me now and put up a fight
I'll make everything alright
You know i can't live this way
Lost the best thing that i had
And i am subsequently sad
All the good times and the bad
I still don't know who i am
Subsequently sad
Tell me now just spit it out
What is all of this about
We've been through all this before
I can't take it anymore
I lost the best thing that i had
And i am subsequently sad
All the good times and the bad
I still don't know who i am
I lost the best thing that i had
And i am subsequently sad
You know i can't live this way

TOUCH

Do you know you steal my breath
Make me feel I'm second best
Hold me up at gunpoint whisper in my ear
Just a narcissistic crush
That doesn't seem to matter much
'Til I find that you're here
Even when you're not

You mean so much
Coz all I've got is your touch
All I've got is your touch

Do you know how juvenile
I feel when you make me smile
I'm above you but I love to be brought down
And if only you'd resist
All the boundaries that exist
I could look you in the eye and tell you now

You mean so much
Coz all I've got is your touch
All I've got is your touch
