Santa Monica    

In santa monica in the winter time
The lazy streets so undemanding
I walk into the crowd
In santa monica you get your
Coffee from
The coolest places on the
Promenade
Where people dress just so
Beauty so unavoidable everywhere
You turn
It’s there I sit and wonder what am i
Doing here

But on the telephone line i
Am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or
Norman mailer
And you wouldn’t know the
Difference
Or would you

In santa monica all the people got
Modern names
Like jake or mandy
And modern bodies too
In santa monica on the boulevard
You’ll have to dodge those
In line skaters
Or they’ll knock you down
I never felt so lonely
Never felt so out of place
I never wanted something more
Than this

But on the telephone line i
Am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or
Norman mailer
And you wouldn’t know the
Difference
On the telephone line I am
Any height
I am any age I want to be
I could be a caped crusader or
Space invader
And you wouldn’t know
The difference
Or would you

Hold Me    

Hey
If We Can't Find A Way Out Of These Problems
Then Maybe We Don't Need This
Standing Face To Face
Enemies At War We Build Defences
And Secret Hiding Places

I Might Need You To Hold Me Tonight
I Might Need You To Say It's Alright
I Might Need You To Make The First Stand
Because Tonight I'm Finding It Hard To Be Your Man

Hey
More Than Angry Words I Hate This Silence
It's Getting So Loud
Well I Want To Scream
But Bitterness Has Silenced These Emotions
It's Getting Hard To Breathe
So Tell Me Isn't Happiness
Worth More Than A Gold Diamond Ring
I'm Willing To Do Anything
To Calm The Storm In My Heart
I've Never Been The Praying Kind
But Lately I've Been Down Upon My Knees
Not Looking For A Miracle
Just A Reason To Believe

I Might Need You To Hold Me Tonight
I Might Need You To Say It's Alright
I Might Need You To Make The First Stand
Because Tonight I'm Finding It Hard To Be Your Man

Do You Remember Not Long Ago
When We Used To Live For The Nighttime
Cherish Each Moment
Now We Don't Live We Exist
We Just Run Through Our Lives
So Alone
That's Why You've Got To Hold Me

Hey
If We Can't Find A Way Out Of These Problems
Then Maybe We Don't Need This
Standing Face To Face
Enemies At War We Build Defences
And Secret Hiding Places

I Might Need You To Hold Me Tonight
I Might Need You To Say It's Alright
I Might Need You To Make The First Stand
Because Tonight I'm Finding It Hard To Be Your Man

I Knew I Loved You    

Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant
And there it goes,
I think I found my best friend
I know that it might sound
More than a little crazy
But I believe........

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
Only the sense of completion
And in your eyes, I see
The missing pieces I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home
I know that it might sound
More than a little crazy
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

The Best Thing    

Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me

Somtimes I feel like this is only chemistry
Stuck in a maze searching for a way to
Shut down turn around feel the ground beneath me
You're so close where do you end
Where do I begin
Always pushing and pulling
Somtimes sanity takes vaction time on me
I'm in a daze stumbling and bewildered
North of gravity head up in the stratosphere
You and I roller coaster riding love
You're the centre of adrenalin
And I'm beginning to understand

Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me

Walk on broken glass make my way through fire
These are the things I would do for love
Farwell peace of mind kiss goodbye to reason
Up is down the impossible occurs each day
This intoxication thrills me
I only pray it doesn't kill me

Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Firghtened to believe
You're the best thing about me

You're the centre of adrenalin
And I'm beginning to understand
You could be the best thing about me


Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Firghtened to believe
You're the best thing about me

Crash And Burn    

Bridge :
When you feel all alone
And the world has turned it's back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild, wild heart

I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relieve and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore

Chorus :
Let me be the one you call
If you jump, I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face they day

[Chorus]

Because there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breath again

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Chained To You    

We were standing all alone you were leaning in to speak to me
Acting like a mover shaker dancing to Madonna then you kissed me
And I think about it all the time
Sweet temptation rush all over me
And I think about it all the time
Passion desire so intense I can't take anymore because

* I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees, like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to you

And when you looked into my eyes felt a sudden sense of urgency
Fascination casts a spell and you became more than just a mystery
And I think about you all the time
Is this fate is it my destiny
That I think about you all the time
I no longer pretend to have my hand on the wheel because

[Repeat *]

I feel the magic building around you

[Repeat *]

And I think about it all the time
And I think about it all the time
Tell me it's madness I barely know you
We were standing all alone you were leaning in to speak to me
Ten steps back you're still a mystery
Acting live a mover shaker dancing to Madonna then you kissed me
I can't take anymore because

[Repeat *]

I feel the magic building around you

[Repeat *]

Tell me it's madness, I barely know you

The Animal Song    

When superstars and cannonballs are runnin through your head
And television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Subway makes me nervous, people pushing me too far
I've got to break away so take my hand now

* Cause i want to live like animals
careless and free, like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet

I've been having difficulties keeping to myself
Feelings and emotions better left up on the shelf
Animals and Children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human there's a thought, now you decide

** Compassion in the jungle
compassion in your head, yeah
would you like to make a run for it
would you like to take my hand, yeah

[Repeat *]

Sometimes this life can get you down
it's so confusing
There's so many rules to follow
and i feel it
Cause i just run away in my mind
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


Superstars and cannonballs are runnin through your head
Television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Animals and Children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human
There's a thought, now you decide

[Repeat ** , * , *]
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Lover After Me    

Here I go again I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today
It's been seven months and counting
You've moved on
I still feel exactly the dameIt's just that everywhere I go all the buildings know you name
Like photographs and memories of love
Steel and granite reminders
The city calls your name and I can't move on

Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
The lover after me

Am I all alone in the universe?
There's no love on these streets
I have given mine away to a world that didn't want it anyway
So this is my new freedom
It's funny
I don't remember being chained
But nothing seems to make sense anymore

Without you I'm always twenty minutes late

Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
The lover after me

And time goes by so slowly
The nights are cold lonely
I shouldn't be holding on
But I'm sill holding on for you

Here I go again
I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today
But I'm standing at your doorway
I'm calling out your name because I can't move on

Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
The lover after me

Two Beds And A Coffee Machine    

And She Takes Another Step
Slowly She Opens The Door
Check That He Is Sleeping
Pick Up All The Broken Glass
And Furniture On The Floor
Been Up Half The Night Screaming
Now It's Time To Get Away
Pack Up The Kids In The Car
Another Bruise To Try And Hide
Another Alibi To Write

Another Ditch In The Road
You Keep Moving
Another Stop Sign
You Keep Moving On
And The Years Go By So Fast
Wonder How I Ever Made It Through

And There Are Children To Think Of
Baby's Asleep In The Back Seat
Wonder How They'll Ever Make It
Through This Living Nightmare
But The Mind Is An Amazing Thing
Full Of Candy Dreams And New Toys
And Another Cheap Hotel
Two Beds And A Coffee Machine
But There Are Groceries To Buy
And She Knows She'll Have To Go Home

Another Ditch In The Road
You Keep Moving
Another Stop Sign
You Keep Moving On
And The Years Go By So Fast
Wonder How I Ever Made It Through

Another Bruise To Try And Hide
Another Alibi To Write
Another Lonely Highway In The Black Of Night
There's Hope In The Darkness
I Know You're Gonna Make It

Another Ditch In The Road
Keep Moving
Another Stop Sign
You Keep Moving On
And The Years Go By So Fast
Silent Fortress Built To Last
Wonder How I Ever Made It
