1. BEAUTIFUL DAY (ALBUM VERSION)

The heart is a bloom, shoots up through stony ground.
But there's no room, no space to rent in this town.
You're out of luck and the reason you had to care,
The traffic is stuck and you're not moving anywhere.
You thought you'd found a friend to take you out of this place.
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace.

It's a beautiful day, the sky falls
And you feel like it's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road but you got no destination
You're in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town, even if it doesn't ring true
You've been all over, and it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day...
hoo... hoo... hoo

Touch me, take me to that other place
Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light, and
See the bird with the leaf in her mouth
After the flood, all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day, don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me, take me to that other place
Reach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have, you don't need it now
What you don't know, you can feel it somehow
What you don't have, you don't need it now
Don't need it now...
Was a beautiful day...


2. SUMMER RAIN

When you stop seeing beauty
You start growing old
The lines on your face
Are a map to your soul

When you stop taking chances
You'll stay where you sit
You won't live any longer
But it'll feel like it

I lost myself in the summer rain
I lost myself
I lost myself in the summer rain
In the summer rain

Tequila and Orange
Jamaica and rum
At the Morella
Honey on my tongue

In a small boat on a generous sea
You let me be your enemy
Tiny hand
With a grip on the world
Holding our breath now
Diving for pearls

I lost myself in the summer rain
I lost myself
I lost myself in the summer rain

Just as you find me
Always I will be
A little bit too free
With myself

Just as you find me
Always I will be
A little bit too free
With myself

I lost myself in the summer rain
I lost myself
Now there's no one else
In the summer rain

Raining down
Raining down
Rain

Raining now
Raining now

Just as you find me
Always I will be
A little bit too free
With myself

Just as you find me
Always I will be
A little bit too free
With myself

It's not why you're running
It's where you're going
It's not what you're dreaming
But what you're gonna do

It's not where you're born
It's where you belong
It's not how weak
But what will make you strong


3. ALWAYS

Here today, gone tomorrow
Crack the bone, get to the marrow
To be a bee and the flower
Before the sweetness turns to sour

What we have we're gonna keep, always
What we've lost we don't need, always
What is it that won't let you sleep, always

Be the arrow and the target
Put your head over the parapet
Be uncool, be awkward
Don't look in the obvious place
The soul needs beauty for a soulmate

Get down off your holy cloud, always
God will not deal with the proud, always
Well if you dream then dream out loud, always
Eternally yours, always

I want you
I want you
I want you

Know what to do yourself, always
Go find yourself in someone else, always
And always wear a safety belt, always
Wait for me I'm running late, always
This is the moment that we share for always
Turning slowly into a prayer, always

Now and forever
For always,


4. DISCOTHEQUE (LIVE FROM MEXICO CITY DECEMBER 3, 1997)

You can reach
But you can't grab it
You can hold it, control it
No, you can't bag it

You can push
But you can't direct it
Circulate, regulate, oh no
You cannot connect it

You know you're chewing bubblegum
You know what that is
But you still want some
You just can't get enough
Of that lovie dovie stuff

You get confused
But you know it
Yeah, you hurt for it, work for it, love
You don't always show it

Let's go
Discotheque
Let's go
Discotheque

You're looking for the one
But you know you're somewhere else instead
You want to be the song
Be the song that you hear in your head

It's not a trick
'Cause you can't learn it
It's the way you don't pay, that's okay
'Cause you can't earn it

Let's go
Discotheque
Let's go
Discotheque

You're looking for the one
But you know you're somewhere else instead
You want to be the song
Be the song that you hear in your head
Oh yeah

You want heaven, heaven in your heart
You want heaven, heaven in your heart

But you take what you can get
'Cause it's all that you can find
But you know there's something more
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Boom Cha! Boom Cha! Discotheque
Boom Cha! Boom Cha! Discotheque
Boom Cha! Boom Cha! Discotheque
Boom Cha! Boom Cha! Discotheque
Boom! Boom!

Boom Cha! Boom Cha! Discotheque
Boom Cha! Boom Cha! Discotheque


5. IF YOU WEAR THAT VELVET DRESS (LIVE FROM MEXICO CITY DECEMBER 3, 1997)

Tonight
The moon is playing tricks again
Yeah I'm feeling sea sick again
The whole world could just dissolve
Into a glass of water

I've been good
'Cause I know you don't want me to
Do you really want me to be blue as you
It's her daylight that gets me through

If you wear that velvet dress
If you wear that velvet dress

Tonight the moon is a mirrorball
Light flickers from across the hall
Who'll catch the star when he falls

If you wear that velvet dress
If you wear that velvet dress
That velvet dress
That velvet dress
That velvet dress


6. LAST NIGHT ON EARTH (LIVE FROM MEXICO CITY DECEMBER 3, 1997

Hola, hola Mexico
Como esta... (uh)

Where are we?
How did we get here?
How'd you get here?
I went looking
So much to see
I went looking

I went looking for spirit
Found alchohol
I went looking for soul
And I bought some style
I wanted to meet God
But you sold me religion

She feels the ground is giving way
But she thinks we're better off that way
The more you take the less you feel
The more you know the less you believe
The more you have the more it takes today

You gotta give it away / You gotta give it away
Gotta give it away / You gotta give it away
Gotta to give it away / You gotta give it away

She knows just what she's worth
She's living like it's the last night on earth
The last night on earth

She's not waiting on a saviour to come
She's at the bus-stop with the
News of the World and the Sun
Sun, here it comes
She's not waiting for anyone

You gotta give it away / You gotta give it away
Gotta give it away / You gotta give it away
Gotta to give it away / You gotta give it away

She knows just what she's worth
She's living like it's the last night on earth
The last night on earth

Oh, oh my child
Alright child
It's not the last night on earth
It's Pop-life in Mexico
It's not the last night on earth
Darling don't you let me go
Mexico, Mexico, Mexico City
How did you get so high?
It's not the last night on earth
Darling stay with me tonight
'Cause the world turns
And we get dizzy
Sometimes we're slipping away

We've been living, living next week now
You know we're going to pay it back somehow
We haven't been to bed in a week
We'll be dead soon, we still won't sleep

You gotta give it away / You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away / You gotta give it away
You gotta to give it away / You gotta give it away

Come on, she knows that it hurts
Lliving like it's the last night on earth
The last night on earth
The last night on earth
