Lyrics

1. ORDINARY DAY

This is just an ordinary day
Wipe the insecurities away
I can see that the darkness will erode
Looking out the corner of my eye
I can see that the sunshine will explode
Far across the desert in the sky

[Chorus]
Beautiful girl
Won't you be my inspiration?
Beautiful girl
Don't you throw your love around?
What in the world - What in the world
Could ever come between us?
Beautiful girl - Beautiful girl
I'll never let you down
Won't let you down

This is the beginning of your day
Life is more intricate than it seems
Always be yourself along the way
Living through the spirit of your dreams

[Chorus]

Down
Won't let you down
Down - Down - Down
Won't let you down
Down

[Chorus]

Down


2. WHEN WE WERE YOUNG

Funny how things just tasted better
When we were young - When we were young
Funny how things just seemed so easy
When we were young
It's been a long day (x4)

[Chorus](x2)
I wanna get out
I wanna go home
Is anything better
Than you on the phone?

I think that we weren't always grateful
For what you've done - When we were young
I think that we weren't always grateful
For what you've done
We've come a long way (x4)

[Chorus](x4)

You on the phone (x3)

[Chorus]

I wanna get out
I wanna go home
I wanna feel better
Can I get alone?

[Chorus]


3. IN THE GARDEN

I see you playing
In the garden
Outside my window
Oh - Oh - Oh
You're like your father
I see right through you
Just like your father
I thought I knew you
Oh - Oh - Oh - Oh

It's a panic
In paradise
It's a panic
It's in paradise

[Chorus 1](x2)
You can't come here
You can't cry

I see her playing
In the garden
I was once like her
You did this to me
I don't remember
When this offense begun
I don't remember
I can't undo what's done

[Chorus 1](x2)

[Chorus 2](x2)
You can't come here
You know why

I'll keep my secret
With me until I die
I'll keep my secret
And I don't know why

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]


I can't go there
I won't cry (x2)

Round and round and round
And round and round


4. HUMAN SPIRIT

Don't let life consume you
It could eat you up inside
Can you see the human spirit?
Tell me why should I have to hide

[Chorus]
And with my heart in my hand
And with my hand upon my heart
And with my heart in my hand
It's not like we planned

Don't betray your lover
You will just betray yourself
Can you see the human spirit?
Is there emptiness inside?

[Chorus]

Can you see the human spirit?
Is there emptiness inside?
Can you see the human spirit?
Is there loneliness inside?

[Chorus]


5. LOSER

I'm sick and tired of people like you
You think you're clever but you haven't a clue
What can you do?
A two watt light bulb is brighter than you
I'm sick and tired of people like you

[Chorus]
You want it - You got it
Come take it - It's over here
You want it - You got it
Come take it - Is that not clear?
You want it - You got it
Come take it - I'll do it for you
You want it - You got it
Come take it - Just cross the line

The moral of the adventure is this
Take me for granted you are taking the piss
Who love is this?
I'd rather wind up with nothing at all
Than take a loser like you through it all

[Chorus]

Cross the line (x2)

[Chorus]

Why loser? - Die
Why loser? - Why?
Die loser - Die
Why loser?


6. STAY WITH ME

I woke up this morning
And I walked down to the sea
I sat there on the long grass
Just staring at the sea
Counting all my blessing
And everything that you gave to me
Why is this complicated?
Why can't you stay with me?

[Chorus]
Stay with me
Won't you stay?
Stay with me
Won't you stay with me?
Stay with me (x5)

I just like to hold on
To all the magic memories
I dread this place without you
Don't leave I'm begging please
Holding back the memories
Holding back the years
Holding back the memories
Holding back the tears

[Chorus]


7. APPLE OF MY EYE

[Verse 1]
As the days go by
The apple of my eye
I'll always wait for you
And as a new day dawns
The darkness moves away
And I will wait for you

[Chorus]
Remember - Remember
The face of you
Surrender - Surrender
The touch of you

Well it's a hard to hold
The room is turning cold
The candles flickers still
And what I would not do
For the love of you?
Would you hold on to me?

[Chorus]

[Verse 1]

[Chorus]

I will remember
I will remember the face of you
I will remember
I will remember the touch of you (x2)


8. BLACK WIDOW

Finding solace
Finding solace somewhere
Seeking comfort
Seeking comfort somewhere

[Chorus]
Over and over
Over she calls
Over and over
Over she falls

The black widow
Waiting for her lover
The black widow
Crying in her bedroom

[Chorus]

Pull me out (x8)
Seeking comfort
Seeking comfort somewhere

And she cries
And she cries
Feeling lonely
She is lonely
And she dies
And she dies
Feeling lonely
She is lonely

(x2)
Recognize - Recognize
The black widow
The black widow

The black widow


9. OCTOBER

October - October
The summer is over
I'm going through changes
I see you again
It's so thought provoking
Emotion evoking
I can't turn around
I don't want to pretend

[Chorus](x2)
You stand in my way
With nothing to say
You think you're the world
I'm so lost without you
I'm sorry my friend
This is not the end
I'll do it without you
I'll do it again

I'll do it again

October - October
The summer is over
I'm moving in circles
I'm trying to come in
It's my evolution
The only solution
The torment it's all that
I'm holding within

[Chorus](x2)

I'll do it again

You stand in my way
You've nothing to say
You think you're the world
I'm so lost without you
I'm sorry my friend
This is not the end
I'll do it without you
I'll do it again

Don't stand in my way
With nothing to say
And think you're the world
I'm so lost without you
I'm sorry my friend
This is not the end
I'll do it without you
I'll do it again

I'll do it again


10. ACCEPT THINGS

You seem to forget
The place that we met
Protected and warm
In the perfect storm
I think you pretend
That you are my friend
It's easy to see
That you're envious of me

Hold (x6)

[Chorus](x2)
You should open your eyes
Make it easy to accept things

Accept things

You should not forget
The people you met
On the way up
Or on the way down

Hold (x6)

[Chorus](x2)

Accept things

[Chorus](x4)


11. ANGEL FIRE

Another lonely night in December
Jaweh - Jaweh - Jaweh
It is the time of year people remember
Jaweh - Jaweh
I can't find a word to say to you
I can't comprehend - I can't relate to you

[Chorus](x2)
Plain to see no flies on me
Take me higher Angel Fire
Take me where I want to go
Teach me things I need to know

I'm knowing this could be our last event
Jaweh - Jaweh - Jaweh
I'm knowing I am your youngest descent
I don't want to know your pain
I don't want to play the game

[Chorus](x2)

I can't find a word to say to you
I can't comprehend - I can't relate to you

[Chorus]

Can't you see you're made for me?
Take me higher Angel Fire
Take me where I want to go
Teach me things I need to know


12. ECSTASY

I can feel a pleasure - That's the pain
When I die - I died in vain
I can hear sweet temptations come
Come with me and we will fall

[Chorus]
Ecstasy - Misunderstood
Will you dance with me
As if I should?
And in the morning
The sun will shine
Still I can't shake her
Get out of my mind

I can feel it rushing through my veins
After they withdraw the pain
This must be the essence of it all
Stay with me and we will fall

[Chorus]

Look you made me do this to myself (x4)

[Chorus]


BONUS TRACKS


1. LETTING GO

If you live in a dream world
Find it hard to let go
If you give your affection
You will learn to let go

[Chorus]
Don't hurt
You'll be there
You must be strong
She'll be with your father
And they will be one in heaven - In heaven

If you lose your direction
Never fear - Let it go
How you live - How you love live
You will never be alone

[Chorus]

In heaven


2. FOREVER

Please be strong - Carry on
Come whatever may
In the dark - In the dark
Never be afraid
‘Cause once in a lifetime
Young ones fly away
Only once in a lifetime
Young ones fly away
I will stay here

[Chorus]
Forever and ever - I will be around
Forever and ever - I will be the ground
That you walk on

If you fall - If you fall
I will be beside you
If you call at all
I'll be there to guide you
There's something between us
Words can never say
And only once in a lifetime
Young ones fly away
I will stay here

[Chorus]


3. SISTERLY LOVE

Sister - Sister - It's okay
We'll come together in a place one day
The problem really was she wasn't much like me
There were so many kids in the family
I really really wanted to be one of the boys
Really really wanted to be one of the boys
I couldn't really care for her girlish toys
I couldn't really care for her girlish toys
I buried her dolls in the sand one day
I buried her dolls in the sand one day
In a beautiful pram at the top of the yard
A beautiful pram at the top of the yard
I know she couldn't be psychologically scarred
I know she couldn't be psychologically scarred
About that beautiful pram at the top of the yard
Beautiful pram at the top of the yard

Singin'
Sisterly love - Sisterly love - Sisterly love

Sister - Sister - It's okay
We'll come together in a place one day
The problem really was she wasn't much like me
There were so many kids in the family
This baby girl was a dream come true
This baby girl was a dream come true
Tell me what in the hell have I done to you?
What in the hell have I done to you?
The time has moved along and I have two girls now
The time has moved along and I have two girls now
They remind me of you and me somehow
Remind me of you and me somehow
I'm hoping and I'm praying that they both will be
I'm hoping and I'm praying that they both will be
More together in life than you and me
Together in life than you and me


4. WITHOUT YOU

Nothing seems to be worth while without you
A part of my existence is not here without you
You have made your bed and you lie on it now
You have made your bed and you lie on it

I try to switch off my mind but it's rolling
Rolling on an iceberg moving down towards the water
You have made your bed and you lie on it now
You have made your bed and you lie on it

[Chorus]
So far across the water you were always on my mind
Your love and understanding you were always on my mind
My mind

Maybe I just can't survive without you
Maybe I don't want to live without you
You have made your bed and you lie on it now
You have made your bed and you lie on it

[Chorus]

Without you


5. WILLOW PATTERN

Dreaming of the willow pattern
A phase I'm going through
Dreaming of the willow pattern
There’s something I should do
I’d never see the world without you
You opened up my eyes
I’d never see the world without you
And now I realise

[Chorus]
Never turn around
Never transcend
Never play dead
Don't ever walk backwards
Never turn around
Never transcend
Never play dead
Don't ever walk backwards
You should never take a thing for granted
You only miss it when it’s gone
And it’s stupid to be holding grudges
Because we only got so long
So long

I’m dreaming of the willow pattern
She kept it in her room
An oriental china set
A gift I would assume
She told me how you loved her so much
That everybody died
Another universal theme
Don’t hold it all inside

[Chorus]

I affiliate with you
I know we’d all have died

[Chorus]
